DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY, AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXECUTE SAME. ISSUE Should the City Council award an agreement in the amount of $200,000.00 to the Black & Veatch Corporation to update the facility master plan for the James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility? RECOMMENDATION Approve this Resolution. BACKGROUND The James R. Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility was constructed in 1987 with a 20 -year design life, and is presently 18 years old. Both water quality laws and wastewater treatment technology have changed significantly since the facility went into operation. Pueblo's discharge permit is scheduled for renewal in 2007, and the new permit will contain requirements to remove ammonia. In addition, federal rules are pending that will require phosphorus removal and removal of other forms of nitrogen in the future. An update to the facility master plan is needed to set forth an orderly plan for upgrading the treatment facility to assure continued compliance with environmental law, and to provide a basis for sound cost estimates so an adequate financial plan can be implemented to fund new construction, operation, and maintenance. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds for this project are available from the Sewer User Fund and were appropriated as part of the 2006 Wastewater Department budget. AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered this 13 day of February 2006, by and between the City of Pueblo, a Municipal Corporation ( "Client ") and Black & Veatch Corporation ( "Engineer ") for Engineer to render professional engineering services for Client with respect to reviewing and updating the Master Plan for the James R.

CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION ATTEST: By o President of the City Council City Oerk BLACK & VEATCH CORPORATION r a„ , By -! N I, V VICCIPWLIKI Name: Title:�� M SCHEDULEI City of Pueblo, Colorado 2006 Water Reclamation Facility Master Plan Update Scope of Services -7- WORK ORDER 2006 -1 MASTER PLAN UPDATE FOR THE JAMES R. DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY UNDER THE ENGINEER OF RECORD CONTRACT FOR THE JAMES R. DIIORIO WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY DATED DECEMBER 27, 2005 SCOPE OF SERVICES Owner: City of Pueblo, Colorado (City) Engineer: Black & Veatch Corporation (B &V) Project: 2006 Update of the Master Plan for the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF Update) OVERVIEW This seeping document for Work Order 2006 -1 describes the services to be provided by the Engineer for the WRF Update. The estimated fee for this Project is detailed in the attached spreadsheet. Authorization to complete subsequent tasks will be provided through supplemental work orders once the scope of such assignments is more fully defined in the WRF Update. Note that Engineer's scope and fee for Work Order 2006 -1 are premised on the following issues being considered in the WRF Update: • Update the Master Plan regarding current conditions at the WRF and its ability to handle future flows and loads: • Description of liquid stream and biosolids handling processes and current discharge permit requirements for each. • Historic loadings and performance of the WRF. • Hydraulic design and evaluation model. • Biological process design and evaluation model. • Unit process loadings and capacity analysis considering design, hydraulic, operating, and redundancy considerations. • Population, flow, and organic load projections. • Comparison of flow and load projections to (1) current discharge permit ratings and (2) the updated capacity analysis. • Recap mixing zone and water quality modeling work prepared by Dr. William Lewis on behalf of Owner. • Forecast future rulemaking by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). (Work Order 2006 -1) (WRF Update) 1/25/2006) • Project potential effluent quality and treatment requirements for the WRF through 2027 according to permit cycle. • Removal of ammonia, total nitrogen (Total -N), and total phosphorus (Total -P) will likely be required, at least to some extent, over the next 20 years. • Replacement of gaseous chlorination/dechlorination with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection may be warranted due to cost and safety considerations, and the high demand for chlorine when there is a spike in secondary effluent nitrite concentrations. • Centrate equalization or side - stream treatment may be needed to minimize the potential for ammonia spikes in the effluent or low dissolved oxygen conditions in the nitrification process. • The gravity thickener is a solids processing bottleneck and another form of waste activated sludge (WAS) thickening may need to be utilized if the aeration basins are run in the activated sludge (AS) mode, instead of as solids contact (SC) basins. ■ Major odor generation sources will be identified and recommendations made regarding (1) reducing the potential for off -site odor complaints and (2) the need for a separate odor control study. Effective odor control may require improvements in the way the City dewaters and dries its anaerobically digested biosolids. ■ Grease is a major materials handling problem, both in the liquid stream and solids treatment systems. Options will be developed to (1) remove grease from septage before it enters the headworks and (2) reduce blockages that occur throughout the WRF, especially in the thickened biological sludge (TBS) lines. ■ A condition assessment will be made of the Blende Interceptor in the reach under the Arkansas River where it is configured as a gravity flow depressed sewer. This evaluation will include a field assessment of inlet and outlet structures, analysis of wastewater quality data collected by the City, and review of closed- circuit TV images to be provided by Blende. Recommendations will be made regarding the timing and cost of renovation, as needed, to maintain a reliable conveyance system that minimizes the potential for release of raw sewage into the Arkansas River. If additional testing is needed to complete the condition assessment, those suggestions will be included in the WRF Update. To minimize cost and cash flow considerations, a "building block" approach will be used to configure alternatives to meet treatment requirements that may emerge during future permit renewals (i.e. in 5 -year increments). • The first significant change in the City's discharge permit will be ammonia removal, which will be manifested through biological nitrification treatment. However, it may be economical to add pre- denitrification (i.e. partial nitrate reduction) and biological phosphorous (Bio -P) removal to the nitrification project. • The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted in- stream nutrient quality criteria and CDPHE will begin promulgating such standards beginning in 2010. Therefore, it is anticipated that full biological nutrient removal (BNR) will be required before the end of the planning period that is established for the WRF Update. (Work Order 2006 -1) (WRF Update) 1/25 /2006) I The City may choose to fund some or all projects emerging from the WRF Update through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program. It is also important to recognize that technology, regulations, public perception, regional and national trends, and events outside the Owner's control will shape what is the most appropriate way to treat wastewater 20 years from now. Accordingly, flexibility will be a central theme in the WRF Update. DESCRIPTION OF SCOPE OF SERVICES The WRF Update will be comprised of technical memoranda (TMs) and preliminary layout drawings. In this document, design requirements will be identified and alternative solutions evaluated. Based on cost and non - economic considerations, a recommended set of improvements will be presented to the Owner. 1. Participate in a Kickoff Workshop with Owner in Pueblo. Topics to be covered in this workshop include the following: • Team organization • Communication plan • Project goals and objectives • Pertinent State regulatory requirements • Discharge permit, biosolids management, and design criteria • Compliance with facility planning and SRF loan provisions • Environmental assessment and public participation plan • Scope of work and deliverables • Prioritized data request • Project schedule • Preliminary table of contents for each TM • Budget and schedule tracking Following this and all other formal meetings, Engineer will issue minutes to all project participants within 10 working days. 2. Using available drawings, specifications, reports, and the Kickoff Meeting site visit, Engineer will assess the condition of the WRF facilities. 3. Discuss operation and maintenance (O &M), safety, biosolids handling, security, financing, and other utility management strategies with Owner's staff so Engineer has a solid understanding regarding how the WRF is run and the remaining useful life of equipment and facilities. 4. Conduct an Alternatives Workshop to assist Owner in (1) developing viable solutions to future capacity and discharge permit requirements and (2) staying well - positioned with respect to implementing these solutions in a timely and cost effective manner. Owner and B &V staff will screen various treatment options and craft one preferred alternative (Work Order 2006 -1) (WRF Update) 1/25/2006) for maintaining the biotower in service and one for decommissioning it. Given the above discussion in the Overview, it is anticipated that the following alternatives and options will be developed in the WRF Update: • Full nitrification for the design maximum month flow and load selected by Owner (i.e. for the current rated WRF capacity for an expansion). • Two general biological treatment options will be considered: one where the biotower remains in service and a second that assumes the biotower is decommissioned. In the first scenario, consideration will be given to running the biotower in parallel or series with the aeration basins. In the series mode, further consideration will be given to recycling mixed liquor and operating the plastic media trickling filter in the activated biotower (ABF) mode. Potential add -on options for the nitrification project include: • Option I — Add pre - denitrification to the nitrification project. • Option 2 —Add Bio -P removal to the nitrification project. • Option 3 — Add both pre - denitrification and Bio -P removal to the nitrification project. • Post - denitrification treatment should a high level of Total -N removal be required later in the planning period. • Chemical phosphorous polishing should a high level of Total -P removal be required later in the planning period. • Replace chlorination/dechlorination with UV disinfection and provide an alternate form of chlorine for current and potential in -plant uses. • Add a second gravity thickener or utilize a separate process for concentrating WAS prior to anaerobic digestion. • If needed, expand or renovate the anaerobic digesters and sludge dewatering equipment to provide reliable biosolids handling throughout the planning period. • Reduce the potential for odor generation and off -site odor complaints. • The successful removal and /or conveyance of grease upstream of the headworks and in the sludge and scum handling systems. • Continuing to upgrade the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and add reliable field instruments to better control treatment processes and reduce labor, power, and other operational costs. • Renovation of the Blende Interceptor. Recommendations from this effort will be used by the City during renegotiation of the Blende wastewater service contract, which expires in 2010. 5. For the alternatives carried forward for a further evaluation, the following will be provided: • A general description of each alternative. • Preliminary process schematics. • Photographs and /or manufacturer drawings that depict key features of the equipment under consideration. • Conceptual site plan, showing the approximate location of existing and proposed facilities. 4 (Work Order 2006 -1) (WRF Update) 1/25/2006) • Preliminary capital and annual cost opinions for making present worth economic comparisons among the alternatives. • A non- economic evaluation matrix that considers factors such as flexibility, reliability, automation, safety, ease of O &M, construction sequencing, staffing requirements, and other pertinent considerations. • Selection of a preferred alternative for long -term implementation of BNR. • A phasing plan and cash flow projection that is bracketed to (1) future capacity requirements and (2) the discharge permit limits may emerge during the next four permit renewal cycles. The cash flow projection will be annual through 2012, and then on a five -year basis for 2013 -2017, 2018 -2022, and 2023 -2027. 6. The WRF Update will conceptually define the scope, content, schedule, and estimated construction cost of the proposed facilities, with particular emphasis on those improvements recommended for the 2007 -2012 permit renewal cycle. This information will serve as the technical basis for Engineer to develop, as may be requested by Owner, scope and fee proposals for design and constructed- related engineering tasks. 7. As each TM is developed, forward five copies to Owner for review and comment. 8. Participate in a Results Workshop at which the Project Team will discuss the draft TMs and finalize the recommended plan that will be included in the final report. 9. Revise the draft TMs as needed, publish the final WRF Update report, and deliver five copies to Owner. 10. To help Owner qualify for a SRF loan, a supplement to the WRF Update will be prepared that addresses the following CDPHE facility planning requirements: • Analyze system -wide infiltration and inflow (I /I) rates using (1) winter water production records from the Board of Water Works, (2) wastewater flow monitoring data from the WRF, and (3) collection system monitoring performed by or for the Owner. • Prepare an environmental assessment (EA), focused on the impacts of the proposed improvements. If additional environmental or resource surveys are required by reviewing agencies, they will be separately provided by the City. • Distribute the WRF Update and a draft Facility Planning Supplement to CDPHE, the local council of governments, and the State and Federal clearinghouse review agencies to collect comments on the recommended plan and EA. • Prepare a public notice and assist the City in presenting the proposed plan of improvements and their associated costs at a formal public hearing. • Prepare a responsiveness summary regarding comments received from the clearinghouse agencies and the public. • Develop a draft finding of no significant impact (FSNI) for use by CDPHE in approving the project for SRF loan approval. • Finalize the Facility Planning Supplement and distribute five copies to Owner and three to CDPHE for insertion into their WRF Update binder. 5 (Work Order 2006 -1) (WRF Update) 1/25/2006) 11. At the direction of Owner, attend one other progress meeting to finalize results and plan subsequent work efforts.
