The DC-WASA Board of Directors rejected the single bid received and placed
the project on hold until a more favorable bidding environment is experienced
(possibly two to three years). In the interim, WASA will monitor the
construction bidding environment, regulatory initiatives affecting land
application, and monitor evolving wastewater treatment technologies.
Nothing new to report.
Design on the three sites in Maryland was essentially complete by late
November, 2006. When final plans were submitted to NPS (both C&O Canal
and GWMP Parks), despite having seen the designs numerous times during
the last several years, NPS staff identified major design issues that would
necessitate major redesign and additional costs. DC-WASA management
intends to escalate the issues to higher levels of NPS management.
Concurrently, WASA is conducting a review of the basis of design for the odor
control process in light of numerous cost escalations and schedule delays.
