City of Wheaton Wells and Storage Study Re-Bid

The City of Wheaton is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering firms to carry out a comprehensive Emergency Well and Storage Expansion Study. The study follows a 2026 Risk‑Based Water System Analysis that identified a critical vulnerability in the city’s reliance on the DuPage Water Commission without active countermeasures. The final deliverable will enable the city to evaluate risks and costs associated with alternative water supply options—including wells and additional storage—should a total loss of the current supplier occur. • Scope: Engineering feasibility and risk assessment study for emergency wells and storage capacity. • Deliverables: Technical report, risk analysis, cost‑benefit evaluation, and recommendations for alternative water supply strategies. • Timeline: Proposal submission due by October 16, 2026; study work to be completed per contract schedule (not specified).
