The City Government of Lake Oswego in Oregon has hired a consultancy firm to help issue a request for proposals (RFP) to establish a public-private partnership to replace the Tyron Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The project involves the design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of the new wastewater treatment facility in the City of Lake Oswego in Clackamas County, Oregon, USA. The facility would replace the existing Tryon Creek wastewater treatment plant, constructed in 1964.

The Portland Bureau of Environmental Services has recommended a 50-50 split between the two cities to invest in the US$130 million project to repair or replace technology in the facility. 

The City officials scheduled to meet with the consulting firm on May 23 and hope to publish the RFP in July that would require 30 percent designs from three bidding firms.
