We believe we are uniquely qualified to assist you with this project, given our thirty years of experience performing similar projects. We look forward to working with you on this and other future projects. Thank you for the opportunity to propose on your requirements. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to call me at (512) 228-6001. Sincerely, ADS Environmental Services Kirk Jones Business Development Manager Enclosure ADS Environmental Services 1413 Deer Ledge Tr. Cedar Park, TX 78613 Tel: 512.228.6001 Fax: 512.219.6051 EMAIL: kiones(@idexcoro.com Mr. Andy Cronberg City Of Fort Worth Walker Branch August 24, 2009 Proposed Scope of Work ADS Environmental Service ("ADS") will provide a temporary flow monitoring study to collect 30 days of flow data at four (4) monitoring locations. It will be performed in three phases as set forth below: Phase I — Mobilization 1) Kick-off Meeting,. Phase I will begin with a kick-off meeting between representatives of the Client and ADS. The purpose of the kick-off meeting is to discuss project scope, establish lines of communication, set milestones, and set the project schedule. 2) Site Locations. ADS will work with the Client to identify/verify the location of monitor installations. 3) Site Investieations. Once the installation sites are provided to ADS, ADS field crew(s) will perform site investigations. ADS will utilize a standard 2-person field crew for fieldwork and comply with Federal standards for confined -space entry. The proposed flow monitoring locations will be located, inspected, and verified for hydraulic suitability. ADS will also check for debris in the manhole that could impact data quality and coordinate any required cleaning efforts with the Client or the City. ADS field crews will look for evidence and signs of erratic flow patterns. ADS will also investigate adjacent manholes in order to identify the best monitoring locations. 4) Site Reports & Safety Plan. Site reports will be generated upon completion of the site investigations. The site reports will include a sketch of the general location, physical characteristics and diameters of the proposed monitoring locations, manhole depths, and flow measurements. A "Site Safety Plan" will also be completed as part of the site investigation phase of the project, this will include comments pertinent to the monitoring location such as any special traffic or safety issues. Final site locations to be approved by the Client. 5) Enuiament. ADS will utilize the ADS® Model FlowShark wireless flow monitor during the course of this project. A typical monitor installation will include an ultrasonic depth sensor that will be mounted at the crown of the pipe; a redundant pressure depth sensor mounted at the invert; and a Doppler velocity sensor also mounted at or near the invert. 6) Monitor Activation. Once installed, the monitor will be activated and set to take readings at 15-minute intervals. ADS Field crews will take manual depth readings with a ruler and velocity readings with a portable, instantaneous velocity meter in order to confirm the monitor is collecting accurate data based on the actual existing hydraulic conditions at each location. 9S-032503-0149 Page 2 Mr. Andy Cronberg City Of Fort Worth Walker Branch August 24, 2009 Phase II — Flow Monitoring 1) Flow Monitoring. Once the monitors are installed and verified to be in working order, ADS will monitor the flows for a minimum period of 30 days. ("monitoring period"). This initial monitoring period can be extended based on mutual consent and written agreement of additional work and price for such additional work. 2) Data Collection and Enuioment Maintenance. Field crews will return to each of the locations during the study to collect the data and perform site maintenance and site confirmations as necessary. ADS is an ISO 9001 certified company and has proprietary internal quality procedures for all fieldwork. During the course of the project and as part of ADS's quality control program, the field manager will also visit each location and reconfirm that the monitor is in proper working condition. This includes cleaning depth and velocity sensors, confirmations as needed, and checking an installation to make sure that the ring is secure in the pipe. The ADS data analyst will also review the data on a regular basis throughout the monitoring period. 3) Demobilization. Field crews will continue data collections and confirmations (as necessary) until the end of the monitoring period. Once authorized, crews will immediately begin removing the flow monitors and deliver final data to the data analyst. Phase III — Data Editing and Reporting 1) Data Analvsis. During and upon completion of the monitoring period, a trained ADS Data Analyst will analyze the data. The analyst's functions include data editing, quality review, and hydraulic analysis using scattergraphs, field calibrations and balancing routines to validate the data. The data analyst will directly calculate flow using the continuity equation from recorded depth and average velocity data. Flow quantities as determined by the continuity equation will be plotted. The analyst also will utilize scattergraphs (depth vs. velocity readings) to verify monitor accuracy. The data processing and analysis will be performed on a weekly basis. Any anomalies will be brought to the attention of the City's Representative. 2) Draft and Final Reports. ADS will provide Final data to the City within 30 days of the end of the monitoring period (and any approved extensions). The Final data will present a summary of all field and office activities. The data deliverables will include: • Final flow data in hard copy and electronic format (hydrographs including Rain, Velocity, Depth, Qfinal) • Finalized site reports for monitored manholes • Daily field logs and maintenance forms • Depth and Velocity Scattergraph analysis for each site. 9S-032503-0149 Page 3 Mr. Andy Cronberg City Of Fort Worth Walker Branch August 24, 2009 • Hydrographs: Hydrographs displaying hourly flow quantities (MGD). • Tabular Reports: Long tables displaying average daily flows (MGD), average depth, and daily minimum and maximum values for depth and velocity. • Final flow data in hard copy and electronic format (hydrographs including, Velocity, Depth, Qfinal) • Daily field logs and maintenance forms • The report will include a hydraulic analysis of the individual flow components and their impact on the system performance. The report will summarize findings in tabular, graphical, and narrative formats. • A capacity analysis will be performed for each monitoring location by comparing the in -situ capacity with the actual peak hourly flow. 1. Data Analvsis and Final Deliverables An evaluation of capacity in the metered pipes will be conducted to allow a determination of the theoretical remaining wastewater flow capacity. The capacity evaluation method involves the following process: 1. Collect 5-minute interval depth and velocity data points in the pipe over the entire metering period and determine each pipe's depth vs. velocity relationship or "pipe curve" based on Manning's equation (allowing the pipe curve to pass through the velocity data during the higher flow regime of the day); 2. Determine the typical daily observed peak depth and flow rate in each pipe during the metering period; 3. Calculate the maximum theoretical unobstructed flow rate for each pipe using the pipe curve generated in step 1 when each pipe's depth of flow reaches full pipe; 4. Determine remaining capacity (at peak flow conditions), if any, in each pipe by subtracting the maximum flow rate generated in step 3 from the current typical peak flow rate generated in step 2. 5. Compare ratios of current daily peak flow depth to pipe diameter (percent full based on depth) and current daily peak flow rate to theoretical maximum flow rate (percent full based on flow rate). 95-032503-0149 Page 4 Mr. Andy Cronberg City Of Fort Worth Walker Branch August 24, 2009 A scattergraph of all the depth vs. velocity data points for each metered pipe is shown in the Appendix. The free flow operational curves for each pipe based on the fitted or empirically based Manning's equation is portrayed on the Appendix scattergraphs. The Manning equation is indicated as equation 4.2. This equation defines a commonly used theoretical relationship between depth and velocity in pipes operating under free flow conditions: V = (H j • Rv3 (4.2) Where, V = velocity (ftls). R = hydraulic radius, defined as wetted area divided by wetted perimeter (ft). HC = hydraulic coefficient — empirically derived from actual data or theoretically derived as (C • I/n • S1/2) where `C' is a conversion factor, `n' is pipe roughness and `S' is hydraulic slope. When a pipe's theoretical hydraulic operating curve is generated from the above Manning equation based on actual depth and velocity data to generate the factor, Hc, the resulting curve is typically termed the "Lanfear-Coll" curve. Sample A graphic of the scattergraph for this site is shown in Figure 4.5 wherein the pipe's theoretical or Lanfear-Coll curve is depicted.

Under free flow conditions, this pipe indicates a theoretical full pipe capacity of about 0.85 mgd (the point where the Lanfear-Coll curve reaches the highest Iso-Q curve). The typical dry weather daily peak (computed as the highest 30-minute average flow rate occurring on a non -rainy day) was 0.10 mgd. This indicates that the typical dry weather peak flow rate operates at about 12% of the pipe's theoretical full flow capacity. When depths exceed about 3 inches (i.e. during storm events), this pipe shows significant backwater conditions or a departure from expected free flow conditions (i.e. data points depart the free flow Lanfear-Coll curve shown). The maximum available capacity during such events is generally only about 33% of the theoretical full pipe capacity likely due to a downstream hydraulic restriction. The typical dry weather peak daily flow depth (the highest 30-minute average depth) was 2.7 inches which is equivalent to a depth to diameter (d/D) ratio of 0.27 or 27% full. However, this pipe surcharged (up to 40 inches deep) during 3 of the 4 study storms, suggesting that any rainfall in excess of 0.5 inch causes surcharged conditions to develop.

The typical dry weather daily peak (computed as the highest 30-minute average flow rate occurring on a non -rainy day) was 0.22 mgd. This indicates that the typical dry weather peak flow rate operates at about 26% of the pipe's theoretical full flow capacity. When depths exceed about 5 inches (i.e. during storm events), this pipe shows mild backwater conditions, but able to achieve its full theoretical full pipe capacity once surcharged to about 25 inches. The typical dry weather peak daily flow depth (the highest 30-minute average depth) was 4.3 inches which is equivalent to a depth to diameter (d/D) ratio of 0.43 or 43% full. However, this pipe surcharged (up to 26 inches deep) during 3 of the 4 study storms, suggesting that any rainfall in excess of 0.5 inch causes surcharged conditions to develop.

References for ADS field personnel include our internal and proprietary Field Safety Manual and a project safety management notebook. In addition, all project personnel will be specifically trained in any special local requirements. Each field crew carries all necessary communications, safety and traffic control equipment. All rigging used for confined space entry and non -entry retrieval meets or exceeds NFPA specifications. 4. Field Oualitv Control The term, confirmation, as ADS uses it, means a manual measurement to develop statistical confidence in a series of monitor readings. Site confirmations allow ADS to answer the key quality question: "Does the monitor data reflect what is really happening in the pipe?" Depth and velocity readings will be taken by a field technician during installation using devices that are independent of the flow monitor. Sediment, debris and any other physical characteristics that impact flow will be noted, measured and recorded. Site verification is the primary quality control measure ADS will perform on the project and the information will be used as an independent check of the depth and velocity measurements made by the flow monitor. ADS will conduct tests during installation and at least one additional time during this project. After each data collection, ADS will process and review the data to determine if any problems exist at the sites. 9S-032503-0149 Page 8 Professional Services Consultant Agreement Rev 10.6.09 ATTACHMENT "B" FEESCHEDULE Page 10 of 10 Mr. Andy Cronberg City Of Fort Worth Walker Branch August 24, 2009 ADS'S COMPENSATION Flow Field investigation, data collection, monitor maintenance for $24,526.00 Monitoring four (4) flow monitors for thirty (30) days with I serve.
