TO
AMENDMENT #1 FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF FORT WORTH AND FREESE AND NICHOLS, INC.
FOR
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF THE VILLAGE CREEK DEEP BED MEDIA
FILTERS MODIFICATIONS
This amendment describes the services to be provided by ENGINEER as the ENGINEER . The following
elements are added to the project Design Phase and Bid Phase Services as described in the original
agreement dated January 25, 2011 and terms and conditions of that agreement apply:
Additional design and bid phase services scope items are provided below . Construction Phase Services
are not included and are additional services. The following design elements are added to the project for
inclusion in the final design and bid phase documents :
1. Additional Filter Pilot Testing -In order to determine best fit of hydraulic throughput and water
quality, and judge the impact of options for filter underdrain designs, the City has decided to
augment the pilot testing protocol for Leopold and Severn Trent (Tetra) equipment to allow for
additional data collection. The following elements are included:
• Additional run time and pilot plant operation for the Leopold pilot plant extending the study
time from 6 weeks to 13 weeks to cover more media size options including mono-media
sand, anthracite and dual media configurations .
• Development of a separate protocol for modification of the Severn Trent Pilot plant and
testing of sand mono-media configurations at deeper media depths. This effort includes
additional 9 weeks of pilot plant operation and rental of the pilot plant from Severn Trent.
• Additional reporting associated with the two pilot plant facilities and data analysis.
2. New MCC Building -The existing MCC building is showing evidence of shorting and potential
life/safety hazard issues and replacement is recommended . A new MCC building will be
provided as a pad mounted, combination galvanized steel building/electrical enclosure .
Location of the building will be in the parking area immediately west of the existing MCC. In
addition, the existing 1000 kVA transformers in this area are undersized for load requirements
and will need to be replaced with 1500 kVA transformers. The existing MCC will be demolished
and removed upon completion of the new MCC.
• Electrical:
o Relocation of all electrical equipment associated with the existing MCC including
Chlorine Contact Influent Gates, Service Water Pumps, Chlorine Booster SWPS and
Filters Complex Motor Controls from the existing MCC to the new MCC Building.
o Inclusion of VF D's for the four (4) new Service Water Pumps (referenced in Item 4
below).
o The addition of the new electrical transformers in order to meet the increased electrical
loads for the filter equipment.
• Structural:
o Concrete Foundation Design and miscellaneous structural items for the new MCC and
transformers.
o Miscellaneous Geotechnical Analysis and Survey.
• Civil :
o Modification of the parking area located west of the Service Water Pump Station for
location of the new MCC Building .
3. Filter Control Building -The existing filter control building cannot be maintained in service and
reconfigured without substantial long-term shutdowns of the entire filter complex. This City has
requested that these shutdowns be minimized to maintain maximum filter operation during
construction . To facilitate construction of the filter control system, a new filter control building
is proposed to sit adjacent to the existing building. The new filter control building will al low
phased construction and the existing building will be renovated to an operator work station.
The new control building will be a prefabricated galvanized steel building similar in style to the
MCC in Item 1 above to house the Distributed Control System. In addition the City has
requested renovations to the existing filter control building to include a new HVAC system and
ceiling replacement. The following elements are included :
• Electrical :
o Design and specifications for a new Distributed Control System (DCS) pre-fabr icated
control building with new lighting and power panels, etc.
o New wiring and conduit runs from the filter equipment and instrumentation to the new
filter control building.
• Structu ra I/ Arch itectu ra I
o Concrete Foundation Design and miscellaneous structural items for the new Control
Building.
o New drop in tile ceiling in the existing fi lter control building.
• Mechanical
o New HVAC system for the existing filter control building.
4. Service Water Pump Station -Due to age and deterioration of the service water pumps and the
importance of this pump station to overall plant operations and ultimate permit compliance , the
City has requested that replacement of this pump station be designed as an alternate bid item
to the project. Elements of the design include:
• Electrical:
o Provide new VFD's for the four (4) service water pumps to be incorporated into the new
MCC building for the Filter Improvements (referenced in Item 2 above).
• Structu ra I:
o Replace existing dry pit access hatch with new water tight hatch.
o Replace access platforms and ships ladders at pumps/valves with new aluminum
platforms and ships ladders .
o Repair cracks and spalls in the dry pit area for these pumps.
• Mechanical :
o Removal of the surface wash pumps and piping both inside and outside of the filter pipe
gallery.
o Removal and replacement of the four (4) service water pumps associated piping and
valves, located in the dry pit area and connection to the existing piping immediately
outside this area .
• All elements shall be designed as an additive bid alternate to the project.
•
. .
5. Filter Pipe Gallery and Miscellaneous Filter Complex Repairs -Evaluation of the filter complex
and gallery has identified additional repairs and replacements necessary for a functional and
long lasting system beyond those identified in the previous study. These items include:
• Electrical:
o Replacement of all some ancillary equipment located in the filter gallery. These items
include sumps pumps and removal of the unit heaters.
o Design a remote electrical switch station for operation of the 36-inch backwash header
butterfly valve at the filter gallery floor.
o Provide pressure transmitters on the filter underdrains for filter pressure monitoring
during backwash conditions.
• Structural :
o Repair leak at electrical duct bank penetration and filter backwash line penetration
through pipe gallery walls.
o Repair cracks and spalls in the filter gallery. Repair cracks using epoxy crack injection or
expanding chemical grout repair mortar at pipe gallery interior where leakage presents
concerns.
o Repair loose railings and repair loose rail post bases along the filter complex. 650 LF of
rail repair and 125 bases are assumed for replacement.
o Demolition existing concrete protrusion at Filter Influent Channel and repair concrete
surface after demolition.
o Repair expansion joints between filters 7-8 and filters 14-15 by removing and replacing
the existing joint filler material and installing new expansion joint and sealant. The
expansion joint repair design at the Filter Influent channel and Pipe Gallery will involve
removing and replacing existing joint filler and installing saturated oakum joint seal with
strip and seal system. Design repair method so that influent channel and at the pipe
gallery can be repaired while the influent channel and effluent flumes remain in service .
6. Plant Sewer Meter Vault No. 3 -The existing waste washwater flow meter is inoperable. The
City has requested replacement of this old turbine meter with a new transit time type meter.
• Electrical:
o Electrical and instrumentation associated with a new flow meter and sump pumps .
• Structural:
o Removal of meter vault top slab and design removable grating on top of the meter
vault for access.
• Mechanical:
o Provide a new sump pump for the vault .
TIME OF COMPLETION: ENGINEER is authorized to commence work on the Project upon execution of
this AGREEMENT and agrees to complete the services in accordance with the following schedule:
Final Design by February 28, 2012
