6 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Parker Water & Sanitation District (PWSD) is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms (Consultant) to provide engineering services for the North Water Reclamation Facility (NWRF) Infrastructure Improvement Plan. PWSD operates two (2) wastewater reclamation facilities: the NWRF, constructed in 2004, and the South Water Reclamation Facility (SWRF), constructed in 1988, with various process and infrastructure upgrades occurring through The facilities are presently permitted for hydraulic capacities of 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD) each, and both facilities provide tertiary treatment of all wastewater generated within the District. With increased wastewater treatment capacity required by 2021, an in depth alternatives analysis must be conducted to evaluate PWSD s facilities and infrastructure as a whole prior to increasing treatment plant capacity at the NWRF. 1.2 PROJECT SUMMARY PWSD currently has a total permitted treatment capacity of 4.0 MGD which is split evenly between the NWRF and SWRF. The SWRF was originally designed as a 1.5 MGD facility. In 2011 PWSD pursued and received a re rating of the SWRF to 2.0 MGD based in part on historical performance of the facility. A total treatment capacity of 6.0 MGD is anticipated to be sufficient for District treatment requirements through By 2021 both facilities will likely be handling their rated flows and the total PWSD wastewater flows will begin to exceed 4.0 MGD. Therefore, PWSD will need to have additional treatment plant capacity online before There are several options regarding timing, capacity and location for future capacity expansion(s). These options are influenced by the following factors: The disparity between the conditions and remaining useful life expectancies of the SWRF AWT and the remainder of the SWRF. The desire to ultimately consolidate all treatment capacity at the NWRF site which will simplify operations and maintenance efforts. The need to maximize the remaining useful life of the SWRF without expending significant capital for infrastructure that will ultimately be decommissioned. Benefits of consolidation include, but are not limited to, economies of scale, reduced travel time for operations staff between the two sites, reduced sampling and testing expenses, and simplification of facility operation and maintenance. Additionally, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) permit is complicated given that it governs two (2) facilities and two (2) discharge locations. Consolidation of operations would allow for a simplified discharge permit. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 6

7 The selected Consultant shall assess the WRF s current and future capacities, current and future regulations, and make recommendations and provide a cost benefit analysis for short term and long term improvements for secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment at the two facilities. Potential improvements to the NWRF shall be evaluated including, but not limited to: Odor control systems; Biosolids handling; Power feeds; Alternative tertiary treatment processes; and Alternative disinfection strategies. The consolidation of all tertiary treatment to the NWRF is required due to the deterioration of the equipment in the SWRF AWT building. However, the Consultant shall also provide a conditions assessment of the SWRF to provide PWSD with a summary of the useful life of the existing equipment and infrastructure. For all options and evaluations, the Consultant shall include an assessment of Life Cycle Costs (including capital, operations and maintenance), site constraints and constructability. The two main WRF consolidation alternatives to be evaluated are: 1. Move all treatment operations to an expanded NWRF (6.0 MGD) and decommission the entirety of the SWRF. 2. Keep the SWRF operational to provide a maximum of 2.0 MGD of secondary treatment. a. Decommission the SWRF AWT and convey all secondary effluent to the NWRF for tertiary treatment. b. Expand the NWRF for a total of 4.0 MGD of raw wastewater treatment while also receiving and treating the secondary effluent from the SWRF (AWT increased capacity to 6.0 MGD). Along with the major alternatives evaluation, the potential capital and operational impacts to the SWRF Raw Wastewater Pump Station, Challenger Lift Station and Clarke Farms Lift Station need to be addressed, along with the need for a new interceptor to convey flow from the SWRF to the NWRF. Other relevant facility improvements and recommendations are listed in the 2014 Water & Wastewater Master Plan. These proposed improvements shall be considered and integrated into the evaluation. 1.3 CONTRACT TIME The selected Consultant shall complete the NWRF Infrastructure Improvement Plan by July 2016, or as proposed by the Consultant, provided that project goals are met to the District s satisfaction. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 7

8 SECTION 2 SCOPE OF WORK Parker Water & Sanitation District (PWSD) is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms (Consultant) to provide engineering services for the North Water Reclamation Facility (NWRF) Infrastructure Improvement Plan. An infrastructure improvement plan is to be developed that will serve the current and future needs of PWSD in order to identify the most appropriate technologies and their respective costs for inclusion in the next treatment facility expansion. The Consultant shall consider the recommendations of the 2014 Water & Wastewater Master Plan, but shall provide an independent evaluation using their own expertise and sound engineering principals. A primary goal of this project is to develop an alternative evaluation process by which PWSD can determine whether or not to decommission the South Water Reclamation Facility (SWRF). This alternatives analysis shall be both quantitative (cost benefit analysis) and qualitative. PWSD has made every effort to define a comprehensive scope of services for this project, but the Consultant is expected to develop additional ideas to ensure that all issues will be identified and evaluated beyond what has been described herein. It is envisioned that this will be a highly collaborative and coordinated effort with both parties fully engaged throughout the entire process. 2.1 ESTIMATED PROJECT SCHEDULE The anticipated notice to proceed for this project is October 23, The goal is to have a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed NWRF Infrastructure Improvement Plan complete by July 2016; however, due to concerns regarding increasing disposal costs, the preliminary biosolids evaluation shall be completed by December It is up to the Consultant to develop a detailed schedule as it pertains to their proposed project approach. If this targeted end date seems either too ambitious to accomplish the tasks identified herein, or if the entire evaluation can be completed sooner, given the identified constraints and requirements, please note the anticipated date in the proposal. 2.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES In general, the following services are requested for the NWRF Infrastructure Improvement Plan: TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT Project management is a critical activity in the execution of this project; the project will require consistent and constant project planning and management and close collaboration with the PWSD team.

Scope of work percent complete by task and for total project as estimated by consultant independent of expenditure percent complete. Remaining funds by task and for total project shall be clearly presented TASK 2: REVIEW OF EXISTING DOCUMENTATION The Consultant shall review existing documentation on the existing water reclamation facilities and associated collection system. The Consultant shall conduct a detailed site visit to the NWRF, SWRF, Challenger Park Lift Station, and Clarke Farms Lift Station, and review all of the available resources to adequately evaluate the existing infrastructure. All site visits shall be coordinated through PWSD personnel and PWSD personnel shall be present at all times. A Draft and Final Technical Memorandum (TM) shall be provided to summarize the site visits and a review of the existing documentation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 3: EVALUATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF ALTERNATIVES The evaluation shall investigate the following two (2) alternatives for the NWRF and SWRF. ALTERNATIVE 1 The Consultant shall evaluate and develop a plan to move all treatment operations to an expanded NWRF (increased capacity to 6.0 MGD) and decommission the entirety of the SWRF. This alternative would require the construction of a new interceptor to convey untreated wastewater to the NWRF. ALTERNATIVE 2 The Consultant shall evaluate and develop a plan to: Keep the SWRF operational to provide a maximum of 2.0 MGD of secondary treatment; Decommission the SWRF AWT and convey all secondary effluent to the NWRF for tertiary treatment; and Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 11

12 Expand the NWRF for an increased 2.0 MGD of raw wastewater treatment while also receiving and treating the secondary effluent from the SWRF (AWT increased capacity to 6.0 MGD). Alternative 2 would require the construction of a new interceptor to convey secondary effluent to the NWRF AWT facility. Each alternative shall evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the SWRF Raw Wastewater Pump Station, along with the need for any new pump stations or interceptors to convey flow from the SWRF to the NWRF. Wastewater will not currently gravity flow to the NWRF through existing infrastructure. It is possible that the existing SWRF Raw Wastewater Pump Station could be modified to provide this required pumping capacity, depending on the proposed alternative. Additionally, depending on the selected alternative, a number of lift stations throughout the PWSD service area may also be decommissioned. At a minimum, other items that shall be incorporated into the evaluation shall include: Life cycle Costs (including capital, operations, maintenance and solids disposal); Current and Future Regulations (solids disposal, permit consolidation, sampling requirements and labor required for sampling events); Site Constraints; Ease of Operation and Maintenance; Summary Cost / Benefit Analysis; Risk Analysis; Schematic for each Alternative (including layout and preliminary sizing for each process); Constructability; and Sustainability Concepts. Additional items shall be added to the list to provide a comprehensive evaluation. In addition, a risk analysis shall be provided for each alternative. The Consultant shall anticipate potential risks associated with the project and prepare action plans to respond to each possibility. As identified in Section 2.2.1, an Alternatives Evaluation Workshop shall be held as part of this task. A Draft and Final Technical Memorandum (TM) shall be provided to summarize the Alternatives Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 12

13 2.2.4 TASK 4: SWRF CONDITION ASSESSMENT In general, the physical condition of the SWRF is relatively good, given its respective age. However, the SWRF is older than the NWRF, and this must be accounted for when planning future capital expenditures for both capacity expansion and routine operations and maintenance. For example, while the SWRF is undergoing ongoing modifications to keep the plant running, some of the components are reaching an advanced age and replacement parts are no longer available. The Consultant shall provide a comprehensive condition assessment of the SWRF to provide PWSD with a summary of the useful life of the existing equipment and infrastructure. This evaluation should include whether or not any of the existing equipment could be reutilized in the NWRF expansion should the SWRF be decommissioned (e.g. the mechanical bar screens in the headworks or the dissolved air flotation thickeners). A Draft and Final Technical Memorandum (TM) shall be provided to summarize the SWRF Condition Assessment. This TM shall include an MS Excel (or similar) table which summarizes the process equipment, buildings, etc., that were included in the condition assessment. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 5: ODOR CONTROL EVALUATION The NWRF is surrounded by industrial and residential property, and during certain times of the year, PWSD receives complaints regarding odors generated from the headworks building and the aerobic digesters. PWSD is willing to evaluate options including a switch to anaerobic digestion, however, the pros and cons to this conversion must be detailed, including, but not limited to, the point at which the switch becomes most economically beneficial (e.g. flow rate). The Consultant shall evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the NWRF with the installation of an odor control system for these processes. A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Odor Control Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 6: BIOSOLIDS EVALUATION Currently the NWRF dewatered sludge disposal process consists of one (1) progressive cavity pump equipped with a mechanically driven bridge breaker. The dewatered sludge pump functions to pump dewatered sludge from the belt filter press dewatered sludge hopper to the truck loading station. The truck loading station consists of one (1) pipe that discharges to a truckmounted dumpster. Once full, the truck unloads the dumpster onto a concrete dumpster pad for pickup and disposal. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 13

14 The existing sludge dewatering belt presses are Phoenix Model WX 2.2H which produce an average cake concentration of between 12 and 14 percent. The Consultant shall evaluate whether there are more effective technologies that can be used, e.g. a centrifuge; the Consultant shall also evaluate whether or not a change in technology and/or the increase in solids concentration will lead to a decrease in overall cost for treatment and disposal. The existing sludge disposal process does not allow for efficient biosolids transfer to the truck loading station. The Consultant shall evaluate alternative options for biosolids transfer, including, but not limited to, equipment that can provide better distribution between multiple dumpsters without the need for relocating individual dumpsters to the concrete dumpster pad when full via a truck. In addition, there is a stormwater drain located directly to the west of the NWRF concrete dumpster pad. During precipitation events, operations staff must make sure that this concrete pad is swept clean in order to maintain a zero exposure of biological constituents to the stormwater drain. The Consultant shall evaluate alternative methods to keep any biological constituents from entering the stormwater drain. At both the NWRF and SWRF, once the biosolids are relocated from the truck loading station to the concrete dumpster pad, Veris Environmental, LLC (Veris) hauls the dumpsters away for disposal. Veris is a newly formed company resulting from the January 2015 merger of Parker Ag Services, LLC of Limon, CO and Liquid Waste Management, Inc. of Longmont, CO. This merger has limited PWSD s options for residuals management from both the NWRF and the SWRF to one company. The Consultant shall evaluate alternative options for future biosolids management at the NWRF and SWRF, including, but not limited to, disposal at the Douglas Arapahoe Disposal Site, purchasing land for treatment to Class A biosolids, land application or a do nothing scenario. The Consultant shall evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the NWRF for any improvements to the biosolids transfer system, and to the NWRF and SWRF for future biosolids management. A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Biosolids Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 7: POWER GENERATION EVALUATION The NWRF currently has two power feeds on two separate electrical grids provided by Intermountain Rural Electric Association (IREA). During the original design of the NWRF, these two power feeds were installed in order to provide backup power should one of the grids ever fail; however, in the past, both power grids have failed at the same time, causing a loss of power to the entire plant. The NWRF has a small backup generator which powers the influent pumps and Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 14

15 Pump No. 3 from the AWT system to Horseshoe Pond. Two separate power feeds to the NWRF results in double the cost for standby power. The Consultant shall evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the NWRF including, but not limited to, the following alternatives: A new generator were installed at the NWRF to power more equipment than just the influent pumps and the AWT pump; One or two of the generators from the SWRF were to be moved to the NWRF to provide backup power (if the SWRF were to be decommissioned); or An alternative method were identified to remove one of the IREA power feeds while still providing backup power to the NWRF. A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Power Generation Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 8: ALTERNATIVE TERTIARY TREATMENT EVALUATION PWSD currently uses two different types of advanced water treatment filters for the tertiary treatment of the NWRF and SWRF secondary effluent (one set of filters at each of the plants). The NWRF uses Tonka filters with MRI plate settlers; the SWRF uses a Trident package water treatment system with Microfloc technology. As mentioned in Section 1.2, operation of the SWRF tertiary treatment system is no longer sustainable and the NWRF tertiary treatment system requires expansion from 2.0 MGD to 6.0 MGD in order to treat the secondary effluent from both the NWRF and SWRF. While the existing multi media filtration portion of the NWRF tertiary treatment system works well, the current method of coagulation and flocculation (mechanical flocculators and plate settlers) is limited and subject to variability with seasonal changes in temperature, leading to increased turbidity and decreased filter run times. The Consultant shall provide an analysis and evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the NWRF including, but not limited to, the following alternatives: The existing coagulation and flocculation portion of the tertiary treatment system were converted to an alternate technology; and The expansion of the tertiary treatment system from 2.0 MGD to 6.0 MGD resulted in a conversion to an alternate technology. Any alternative technology shall be pilot tested prior to being included in the preliminary design for plant expansion. Pilot testing is not included in this scope of work, however, if pilot testing is deemed necessary, the proposed Project Schedule shall identify adequate time for completion prior to the end of this project. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 15

16 A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Alternative Tertiary Treatment Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 9: ALTERNATIVE DISINFECTION EVALUATION PWSD currently uses chlorination for disinfection of the tertiary effluent followed by dechlorination prior to discharge. Chemical addition for disinfection is sufficient to meet water quality goals; however, PWSD is interested in looking at alternatives to chemicals, including, but not limited to UV disinfection. As mentioned in Section 1.2, operation of the SWRF tertiary treatment system is no longer sustainable and the NWRF tertiary treatment system requires expansion from 2.0 MGD to 6.0 MGD in order to treat the secondary effluent from both the NWRF and SWRF; therefore alternative disinfection options are only required for the NWRF. The Consultant shall provide an alternatives analysis and evaluate the potential capital and operational impacts to the NWRF for any changes to disinfection alternatives. Any potential impacts to the water quality that may affect the permitted discharge shall also be evaluated. A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Alternative Disinfection Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM TASK 10: ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY METHOD EVALUATION There are a variety of project delivery approaches available to PWSD for design and construction. The Consultant shall provide an alternative project delivery method evaluation that: Defines the goals and objectives for the overall project; Defines any unique issues and/or risk(s) that could significantly impact the project; Ranks these goals, objectives and issues in order of priority and importance, and matches them to the strengths and attributes of the various project delivery alternatives. The evaluation process shall not simply identify advantages and disadvantages of each project delivery method, but evaluate and propose a project delivery method whose strengths and attributes best match or align with the goals and needs of the project. As identified in Section 2.2.1, an Alternative Delivery Workshop shall be held as part of this task. A Draft and Final TM shall be provided to summarize the Alternative Delivery Method Evaluation. The Consultant shall provide one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft TM for review and comment and one (1) original hard copy and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final TM. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 16

17 TASK 11: ENGINEERING REPORT The Consultant shall prepare a draft engineering report summarizing the background information, the alternatives, the evaluation of each alternative, and the final recommendation for all tasks listed in this RFP. Tables summarizing the feasibility, constructability, effectiveness, scheduling and all associated costs shall be provided. Cost summaries shall include capital, operational and present worth cost information. The cost estimate shall be completed as an AACE Class 4 Budget Estimate. TM s developed as part of the evaluation process may comprise the body of the Engineering Report, but the executive summary and final conclusions sections must comprehensively analyze and reflect the project. A MS Excel table of the SWRF Conditions Assessment shall be included as part of this report. The Consultant shall provide ten (10) original hard copies and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the draft engineering report for review and comment. The electronic copy shall include bookmarks for main sections, sub sections, tables and figures. A workshop shall be held between PWSD and the Consultant to discuss and finalize the results of the report. After the meeting between PWSD and the Consultant, the Consultant shall incorporate comments and changes to the draft report, and prepare a final suitable report for submittal to PWSD. The Consultant shall provide 10 (10) original hard copies and one (1) electronic (Adobe PDF) format copy of the final engineering report to PWSD within four (4) weeks of the draft report meeting. The electronic copy shall include bookmarks for main sections, sub sections, tables and figures ADDITIONAL SERVICES PWSD has made every effort to define a comprehensive scope of services for the NWRF Infrastructure Improvement Plan. However, the Consultant is encouraged in its proposal to identify any additional work that is not specified in this Scope of Work that would be, in the Consultant s opinion, necessary to complete the Project as defined herein. Innovation and evaluation of sustainable options are encouraged Consultant may propose additional services that in its opinion will improve the efficiency and quality of the project. If identified, the Additional Work or Services must be included in the proposal, but separated out in the Consultant s Fee Schedule. Water Reclamation Facility Infrastructure Improvement Plan 17

18 TRANSFER OF RECORDS It is the intent of PWSD that the work effort be conducted in a manner that maximizes PWSD s flexibility regarding follow up studies or design related efforts and other PWSD projects.
