construction contractors or other entities, and do not
relieve the construction contractors or any other entity of
their obligations, duties, and responsibilities, including,
but not limited to, all construction methods, means,
techniques, sequences, and procedures necessary for
coordinating and completing all portions of the
construction work in accordance with the construction
Contract Documents and any health or safety
precautions required by such construction work.
4.3.2 ENGINEER and ENGINEER's personnel have
no authority to exercise any control over any
construction contractor or other entity or their
employees in connection with their work or any health or
safety precautions and have no duty for inspecting,
noting, observing, correcting, or reporting on health or
safety deficiencies of the construction contractor(s) or
other entity or any other persons at the site except
ENGINEER's own personnel.
4.3.3 The presence of ENGINEER'S personnel at a
construction site is for the purpose of providing to
OWNER a greater degree of confidence that the

ATTACHMENT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
This attachment is to the AGREEMENT between CH2M HILL, INC., ("ENGINEER"), and
City of Meridian ("OWNER"), for a PROJECT generally described as: Water Master Plan
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
ENGINEER agrees to furnish OWNER the following specific services:
See attached SCOPE OF SERVICES
Form 398A
REVISED: 7/97
City of Meridian
Domestic Water.System Master Plan Project
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The individual tasks comprising the scope of work presented are based on the development
of a Water Master Plan similar in format to the City's existing 1995 Water Master Plan. This
work will also include additional tasks for the selection of new water system modeling
software, the conversation of the existing Waterworks model, and training of City staff in
the use of the new software. CH2M HILL(Engineer) agrees to furnish the City of Meridian
(City) the following services in the preparation of the City's Domestic Water System Master
Plan (Plan).
Task 1-Model Selection, Purchase and Conversion
1. Perform discussions with the City to determine the appropriate model comparison
criteria. A preliminary list of .potential comparison criteria are listed below:
• Hydraulic Engine
• Platform
• GIS Import/Export
• ODBC Connectivity
• Subset Ability
• Overall Functionality
• Complexity of Use
• Cost (initial and maintenance)
• Technical Support
• Market Share
• Years in business
2. Assist the City in evaluating the available softwaze. The developed criteria will be the
basis of the discussions and selection process. This half-day "Net" meeting will be held
at the Engineer's Office and will include the Engineefs modeling specialist via phone
and Internet connection, the Engineef s local representation and City staff as
appropriate. Models considered for comparison include WaterCAD by Haestad
Methods, H2O Net by MW Soft and Mike Net by the Danish Hydraulic Institute. It is
intended that a model be selected for use at the conclusion of this meeting.
3. The Engineer will purchase the water system modeling softwaze selected for the City
($10,000 is allotted in the budget for software purchase). The Engineer will complete the
registration documentation to ensure that the City meets licensing requirements as the
final user of the softwaze. The Engineer will use the selected softwaze to provide the
City with a working model as part of the project.
4. Convert the existing Waterworks model data for use with the selected software.
Conversion of the model will require transferring of the element data to the new
software as well as linking this information to a graphical representation of the system.
Both the existing model and graphic system map will be reviewed to ensure that all
existing system components are included and up to date. City will aid Engineer in this
review by providing independent review and supplemental information as required.
5. Review accuracy of converted model by comparing to simulated runs on existing
Waterworks model.
Task 2 -System Modeling
1. Collect and analyze existing system data, records, and studies as necessary to determine
and/or modify existing and future modeling inputs. City to provide information regarding
the system as required. The following is a list of records, data, and studies that may be
required by the Engineer:
• Daily, monthly and annual water system operating records over the past 3 to 5 years.
To include reservoir level charts, pumping and flow records and pressure records.
• Existing population and demographics data.
• Future population and land use projections (comprehensive planning data, sewer
master plans, wastewater facilities plans, etc...).
• Zoning maps and regulations.
• Existing number of customers by class for past 3 to 5 years.
• Monthly and annual water consumption by class for the last 3 to 5 years.
• Fire Fldw field testing results and system supply/demand data from the same day
for the last 10 years.
• Mapping showing existing and future water service boundaries.
2. Use data collected to establish modeling criteria for existing day, 5-year planning period,
and a 20-year planning period. Existing growth trends, planning documents and City
correspondence will be used to project future service area populations (number and
type) and service area growth. Develop associated computer models of the City's water
transmission and distnbution system (pipes 6-inches and larger). Analyze the three time
period scenarios under the following demand conditions. All modeling performed will
be steady state. No extended run model simulations are assumed.
• Analyze and reallocate demands between the two zones based on booster pump
data. Existing demand allocations in the individual zones themselves are assumed
to be relatively accurate and not requiring extensive review or modification.
Reallocation between the zones will be accomplished by use of global zone
adjustments only.
• Field Fire Flow Analysis (existing model will be checked against field collected fire
flow runs). Up to 6 fire flow runs anticipated.
• Calibrate model. Only minor model manipulation is expected. City will assist in
collecting field data as needed to aid calibration of the model such as real time real time flow
and pressures.
• Peak Hour Demand
~• Maximum Day Demand
• Average Day Demand
• Maximum day demand plus fire flow demand at up to ten existing areas and up to
15 future areas. City to aid in selection of the key fire flow locations to be modeled and the
required capacity.
TASK ORDER.DOC
03114!2001
3. Identify existing, 5-year and 20-year supply, storage and distribution system
improvements that are necessary to satisfy future growth. These system improvements
will be developed through a series of modeling runs that will involve insertion of
pipeline improvements (pipeline replacements and additional pipelines for system
looping or extension). Changes in PRV settings, additional sources of supply and
additional storage will also be considered in the improvements.
4. Prepare modeling data output for inclusion in the final Plan.
Task 3 -Development of Water Master Plan
1. Generate a Plan based on the following format based on the City's latest Water Master
Plan. One exception is the addition of a source development and water rights write-up. It is
assumed that the City will contract independently with Ed Squires of Hydro Logic to
generate a report as to the long term source development strategies and impacts as they
relate to water rights and water quality. This report will be included in the Appendix to the
Plan and the Engineer will summarize specific planning impacts in the Plan.
• Executive Summary
• Introduction
• Existing System
• Water Requirements
• Water Supply
• Source Development/Water Rights (summary)
• Storage
• Distnbution Modeling
• Water Quality and Regulations
• Capital Improvements Plan
• Appendix
Model Results
Source Development and Water Right Report (by Others)
Overall System Map (including node and pipe data)
2. City will submit to Engineer copies of well logs and quality records for system wells. Any
additional system water quality records will also be submitted to the Engineer. Engineer will
review data and existing and proposed future regulations to determine impacts to the
City's system and incorporate the finding into the Plan.
3. City will submit to the Engineer a summary of current and historical water system operational
problems, deficiencies, and concerns. Engineer will incorporate comments and associated
system improvements that are required into the Plan.
4. Once a list of potential future system improvements have been identified, the Engineer
will meet with the City to discuss. This meeting will be used to inform the City of the
options available and the relative differences between them. The options selected at this
meeting will be incorporated into the Plan's Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
TASK ORDEA.DOC
0311412001
5. Summarize the recommended improvements into a C1P. The CIP will include annual
short-term, 5-year program and long-term 20-year program with priorities and cost
estimates for each improvement.
6. Develop a preliminary draft of the Plan for submittal to the City for its review. Engineer
will meet with the City after their review to discuss comments and finalization of the
report. Four copies of the draft Plan will be prepared.
7. Six copies of the "final" draft Plan will be prepared incorporating the City's comments
for resubmittal to the City for an additional review. The City will submit this final draft
Plan to the regulatory authorities for review and comment. Upon receipt of these
comments, a final meeting will be held to address the comments and any additional city
comments. Engineer will incorporate all comments into the final Water System Plan. 10
copies of the Final Water System Plan will be prepared.
Task 4 -Model Training
1. Upon completion of the Plan, the Engineer will train City staff at the City's office in the
use of the model. The City will provide a computer for installation of the softwaze and
the room for the training activities. The training will be broken into three phases as
identified below.
• Phase 1-Model Functionality. This phase is of a 8-hour duration. During this
phase of training, the City staff will be trained on how the model works (data is
input, output, results viewed, etc...). The training will focus on those functions most
useful to the City in evaluating future water system improvements such as the
addition of a new source of supply, new storage, addition of a new waterline/loop,
or the addition of a new development.
• Phase 2 -Meridian Model. This 4hour phase will expand on Phase 1 by
demonstrating the tools learned on the City's actual system model. City staff will
run various modeling scenarios on the City's existing model similar to what was
performed during the Plan development.
• Phase 3 -Interpreting and Checking Results. This 4-hour phase will focus on the
various ways to view, interpret and check results of modeling runs. Training will
include a discussion of problem azeas to look for and detailed analysis of fire flow
results.
