Specifications include, but are not limited to: Data Collection and Review (a) Complete a tour of the existing reservoir (interior and exterior), site and facilities with City personnel. The purpose of the facility tour is for gathering information and performing a visual observation of the facilities. (b) Submit a Request for Information (RFI) for data that will assist in the work. This will include, but not be limited to, • Water master plan • Reservoir data • Water system maps, record drawings, and construction drawings • SCADA data • Valves, pumps, and piping system data • O&M records for leaks, repairs, and replacement • Current operational and maintenance procedures • Topography maps 2.2 Existing Site System Analysis (a) Conduct a study of the existing 2.0 MG and 2.5 MG reservoirs onsite to identify and determine the overall operation efficiency of the facilities and how it will affect design and future operations. (b) Develop a plan to maintain and increase the efficiency of the hydraulic connection between the proposed reservoir and the existing 2.5 MG reservoir. Analysis should include all circumstances that could impact final design of the project. 2.3 Geotechnical Engineering Report (a) Conduct and prepare a complete geotechnical report necessary to complete the objectives of the Project, including but not limited to, locating and performing testing borings and preparing boring logs at the site for the proposed reservoir. (b) Make recommendations regarding site and subgrade preparation, backfilling, and grading. (c) Discuss foundation conditions at the proposed reservoir location and new structural evaluation, determine depth of groundwater, and discuss proposed dewatering methods. 2.4 Preliminary Design (30% Concept Design) (a) Perform preliminary engineering to support design and cost estimating. (b) Develop preliminary design, including basis of design for project components, the technical approach and design parameters, design assumptions, applicable codes, guidelines, regulations, early cost estimate, and other references such as regulatory compliance and permitting and final design recommendations. (c) Identify project permitting requirements.
