WORTH, TX ATTACHMENT A DESIGN SERVICES FOR VCWRF PRIMARY CLARIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN CITY PROJECT NO.:103295 ATTACHMENT A Scope for Engineering Design Related Services for Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements DESIGN SERVICES FOR VILLAGE CREEK WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY PRIMARY CLARIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS CITY PROJECT NO.: 103295 The scope set forth herein defines the work to be performed by the ENGINEER in completing the project. Both the CITY and ENGINEER have attempted to clearly define the work to be performed and address the needs of the Project. PROJECT DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND The Fort Worth Water Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (VCWRF) Primary Clarification Improvements Project"the Project" includes proposed improvements to the plant's existing infrastructure and modifications/construction of additional infrastructure for primary clarification improvements. The Project includes Study and Report Phase representing a 30% level design. Final Design and Construction Phase Services are not included as part of this scope and will be part of a subsequent amendment to this agreement. VCWRF currently has 18 primary clarifiers including 12 small 80-foot diameter clarifiers and 6 large 160-ft diameter clarifiers located in the southeast corner of the plant at a lower elevation. The 12 small primary clarifiers were constructed in 1956,1963, and 1971 and are difficult to maintain and operate with clarifiers 7-12 currently out of service. The 6 large primary clarifiers were constructed in 1975 and 1993. The VCWWTP Uprating Study(Alan Plummer and Associates, June 1997) and the VCWWTP Facilities Assessment Study (CH2MHILL, November 2007) recommended the replacement of the small clarifiers. The VCWRF Hydraulic Capacity Analysis (Freese & Nichols, 2012) identified a functional treatment capacity for the primary clarifiers based on design standards and Uprating Study Report. VCWRF is currently permitted to discharge 166 mgd annual average daily flow (AADF) and 369 mgd 2-hour flow peak flow (P2HF). The goal of this PROJECT is to ultimately increase the rated capacity of the plant to 191 mgd AADF and related peak 2-hour flow in addition to replacing small primary clarifiers 1-13. Two pump stations (PEPS1 and PEPS2) pump primary effluent to the aeration basins. PEPS1 receives primary effluent from the 12 small clarifiers and PEPS2 receives primary effluent from the 6 large clarifiers. The pump stations have a common header that can be segmented by closing a sluice gate in flow control Box I. PEPS1 pumps to Aeration Basins 9-13 and PEPS2 pumps to Aeration Basins 1-6. City of Fort Worth,Texas CDM Smith Scope Rev2 Final Attachment A 08/23/2021 Page 1 of 15 ATTACHMENT A DESIGN SERVICES FOR VCWRF PRIMARY CLARIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS DESIGN CITY PROJECT NO.:103295 Primary sludge from all the 18 existing clarifiers goes to the Primary Sludge De-Gritting Building where is then de-gritted prior to thickening and anaerobic digestion. The primary sludge de-gritting equipment includes four grit concentrators and classifier units. The equipment is capacity limited, outdated, and inefficient, resulting in a substantial amount of grit accumulation in the anaerobic digesters. The digesters must be cleaned periodically at significant cost and substantial downtime. Grit removal improvements and primary sludge thickening improvements are currently under construction but however, does not include improvements to the primary sludge de-gritting system. All 18 existing primary clarifiers have weir launder covers and collected foul air goes to Odor B Facilities located south of the primary clarifiers. Odor B Facilities was constructed in 1988 and is a chemical scrubber system. The Odor B Facilities are at the end of its useful life and will require replacement in the near future. Additionally, the weir launder covers for Primary Clarifiers 15 and 18 are in poor condition and will also require replacement in the short term. Plant Sewer#1 is the plant's drain system for the old plant (aeration basins 9-13, final clarifiers 13-24, and filters 1-20) and sludge thickeners and anaerobic digesters. Plant Sewer#1's capacity is approximately 10 mgd and goes to primary clarifiers 1-6 for treatment. The sluice gates in the control box are inoperable and in need of replacement. Plant Sewer#1 flow will need to be rerouted to combine with the plant flow from the Headworks Facility or to PEPS1 once small clarifiers 1-6 are demolished and replaced with larger clarifiers per recommendations. The PROJECT includes Study and Report Phase and Preliminary Design Report representing 30% design. It is anticipated that final design and construction phase services will be completed by ENGINEER under subsequent professional engineering services amendment or agreement by approval of the CITY. The Study and Report Phase will be 12- month duration with a goal of awarding the construction project in October to December 2023. WORK TO BE PERFORMED BASIC SERVICES SCOPE OF WORK Phase I —Study and Report Phase ENGINEER will perform engineering investigations, studies, calculations, process analyses, and evaluation of various alternatives. Prepare technical memorandums and preliminary facility drawings in accordance with the requirements in this description of work.
