control chemical. As part of this task, the ENGINEER will evaluate several alternatives to
store and meter sidestream effluent. The basis from the previous tasks results will be used
to size the storage and metering facilities. Considerations will include in ground concrete
basin, above ground tank farm, truck loading station for offsite chemical addition needs,
onsite metering locations and piping alignments. Conceptual layouts will be developed for
each storage and metering alternative evaluated. A cost benefit analysis will be developed
for the candidate alternatives. The facilities in this task will be common to the alternatives
developed in the previous task and as such not evaluated as part of the previous task.

Task 800 — Aeration system evaluation and selection
Description
Achieving effective sidestream treatment cost effectively is another key objective of this
project. Use of the existing chlorine contact basin as an aeration basin presents challenges
due to shallower depth which impacts oxygen transfer and efficiency of the aeration system.
Selecting the most efficient blower system for the recommended alternative will be central to
meeting this objective. As part of this Task, the ENGINEER will evaluate the candidate
aeration systems (blower types and diffuser types) to identify the most cost effective option
from a life cycle cost perspective.. The ENGINEER will present findings and
recommendations of this Task in a Peripheral Support Systems Workshop (Task 1200).
Assumptions
1. Findings to be presented at Workshop with key FWWD stakeholders (see Task
1200)
2. A maximum of 4 aeration technology options will be evaluated
Deliverables
1. Same as Task 1200
Task 900 — Alkalinity system evaluation
Description
ENGINEER will evaluate and select the optimum alternative to provide alkalinity to the
proposed sidestream treatment system. The main sub tasks proposed for this task are
summarized below:

DATE: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: * *C -25428
LOG NAME: 60VILLAGE CREEK WRF SIDE STREAM - DESIGN PHASE 1
SUBJECT:
Authorize Engineering Agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., in the Amount of $293,400.00 for Process
Evaluation and Conceptual Design of Side Stream Treatment at the Village Creek Water Reclamation
Facility (COUNCIL DISTRICT 5)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an Engineering Agreement with Malcolm
Pirnie, Inc., in the amount of $293,400.00, for Process Evaluation and Conceptual Design of Side Stream
Treatment at the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth owns and operates the Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (VCWRF). The
VCWRF is currently permitted for an annual average flow rate of 166 million gallons per day (MGD). The
bio- solids processing and dewatering facility generates about one to two MGD of return flow, which is
returned to the normal treatment process and contains a significant ammonia concentration.
Treatment of high concentrations of ammonia would normally require expansion of the secondary
treatment process with additional aeration basins and final clarifiers. The Wastewater Master Plan and a
separate report from Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for Side Stream Treatment Evaluation
recommends the construction of a side stream treatment unit as an alternative to treatment of dewatering
return flows.
This project design engineering services contract will be executed in the three separate phases named as
follows: Phase 1 - Process Evaluation and Conceptual Design, Phase 2 - Design (30 percent, 60 percent,
90 percent, 100 percent and Bid) and Phase 3 - Engineering Services during Construction and Start Up.
Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., has been selected as consulting firm to evaluate and recommend the side stream
treatment process to be used and develop a conceptual site plan and scope of work for the final design
project. They are proposing to perform the necessary Phase 1 - Process Evaluation and Conceptual
Design work for a fee not to exceed $293,400.00.
The City Staff considers this fee to be fair and reasonable for the scope of services proposed.
Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to an 11 percent
M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 11 percent.
In addition to the contract amount, $15,000.00 is required for project management and associated staff
time for the Water Department.
This project serves the entire City and is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5, MAPSCO 68N.
