Successful implementation of low pressure membrane systems using multiple contracts requires
consideration of the unique complexities of the technology and the contracting method to address
these concerns and to limit potential conflicts and pitfalls. This paper reviews the following four
critical areas of concern that need to be thoughtfully addressed in contracting for successful
implementation of low pressure membrane systems:
identification of scope of supply and contractor interface limits; requirements for component delivery and transfer;
commissioning and troubleshooting activities; and,
provisions in the case of defective equipment or work.
These critical areas of concern are discussed using experiences from the implementation of a
60 million-gallon-per-day (MGD) submerged membrane treatment system for the Racine Water
Utility located with Racine, Wisconsin. Includes table.
