New Boston Rice Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant

Team Name: Triple B&C

Team Members: Aliyah Ballot, Bryce Bonin, Peyton Braun, Wes Thibodeaux

Advisor: Mr. Reginald Jeter

Triple B&C Construction is considering bidding for the New Boston-Rice Creek WWTP project. After assessing and analyzing the plans, we decided that this would be a good project for us to bid on. The bid winner is to construct an Aeration Basin, including a 4” PVC underdrain and the select backfill and two clarification chambers. They must also construct the concrete structure of the Chlorine Contact Chamber. The bid winner must furnish and install the 4” diameter PVC pipe, set the equipment for the Aeration Basin and clarifiers, take care of any dewatering, and form, cure, patch, and rub the concrete structures that are visible above ground. In order for our bid to be successful, we must precisely calculate quantity take-offs for our materials; estimate the labor, material, and equipment; and estimate the production of work items. After that, we must produce or bid and create a CPM schedule to construct the project.
