Re: Wastewater Capacity Situational Analysis
Task Order 0795
Dear Clint:
We have prepared a Task Order 0795 as described below to develop a wastewater capacity situational
analysis. The purpose of the project is to determine the best situational option for the Ciiy to pursue to
achieve compliance with the 7 mgd flow limitation within their existing NPDES discharge permit.
We propose to work on time and materials basis with a maximum not to exceed. We will invoice on a
time and material basis per the rate schedule shown in Table 1.0.
The proposed engineering team for this project consists of Dan Barbeau and Carl Hipwell as the
engineering team with quality control by Robert Pharmer.
Scope of Work:
• Pharmer will prepare a design basis on which to compare alternatives by examining past flow
data and then preparing a design memo stating the flow volume of which the capacity
situational analysis will be performed.
Pharmer will develop alternatives to achieve flow compliance of the City of Meridian NPDES
permit. The working document provided by the City (WWTRSitanaloutline.doc)w1ll be utilized
as a basis. Pharmer will further develop the presented options and add or delete to the options.
Each option will be considered for general viability, and a finalist list developed for further
refinement.
• Finalist Alterative Development. The finalist alternatives will be developed further to allow
associated capital and operational costs to be prepared on a preliminary basis. Pharmer wilt
prepare general schematics of each alternative and a list of alternative tomponents and
associated general layouts.
• Alternative Evaluation Selettion Tree. Pharmer will prepare an alternative evaluation selection
tree, which will be a weighted comparison of all finalist alternatives. The evaluation criteria will
include capital costs, o&m costs, ability to meet permit objectives within time requirements,
and other factors as identified by the City personnel and Pharmer within a working meeting to
discuss the alternatives.
• Recommendation of Most Desirable Alternative. Pharmer will prepare a letter report which will
summarize the finalist alternatives considered, the results of the selection tree process, and
recommend the most desirable alternative. Pharmer will prepare a site plan with general
information of the most desirable alternative and a preliminary cost estimate for the
implementation of the most desirable alternative.
• Pharmer will prepare a summary list of considerations of each alternative summarizing why we
selected or eliminated an alternative.
Total Estimated Costs not to Exceed $10,000
