Specifications include, but are not limited to: Task 1 – Project Management: The purpose of this task is to manage project schedule and budget. Subtasks include contract negotiation with subconsultants, invoicing, progress and schedule updates, management of project team and subconsultants, and general coordination necessary to deliver the required scope of services. The project is anticipated to last 12 months including project closeout. Task 2 – Kickoff Meeting: The purpose of this task is to hold a kickoff meeting with JVWCD and all key project personnel to discuss the project, background information, scope of work, and schedule. Task 3 – Initial Workshop: The purpose of this task is to hold a workshop to discuss project goals and where mitigation criteria will be discussed and defined. Work will be accomplished via the following subtasks: • Study boundary definition – JVWCD has performed an initial investigation which identified several areas along the Jordan Aqueduct which should be evaluated for risks. The project team will evaluate the areas below along with any additional areas of interest. The project team will provide more detailed mapping, including site visits, for the following locations: o JA-1 stationing 430+00 to 450+00 (liquefaction zones, landslide potential) o JA-2 stationing 1090+00 to 1120+00 (landslide potential near 7800 S) o JA-3 stationing 1465+00 to 1509+69.99 (seismic uncertainty zone and fault crossing from approximately 2700 S to the end of the line near 2100 S) o JA-3 stationing 1300+00 to 1509+69.99 (liquefaction zones from approximately 4500 S to the end of the line near 2100 S) o JA-4 stationing 66+50 (seismic uncertainty zone at the beginning of JA-4) o JA-4 stationing 500+00 (seismic uncertainty zone in American Fork) o JA-4 stationing 66+50 to 500+00 (landslide potential) • Hazards and JA stationing • Potential alternative alignments Task 4 – Public Outreach: The purpose of this task is to determine the appropriate level of public outreach required for this seismic analysis. JVWCD may look to engage potential affected stakeholders to inform them of the project need, solicit input, and convey the results of the study. The project team shall provide a recommendation as to how the public or stakeholders should best be engaged to provide value and input to the project. Task 5 – Hazards Assessment: The purpose of this task is to further research each hazard identified and evaluate potential mitigation measures. • The project team will conduct a literature review of both published material and reports available by request from cities, municipalities, and other public entities that might be a repository for related geotechnical reports. • The project team will make a site visit to walk each area flagged for seismic special study zones, fault crossings, and landslides to visually inspect known hazards identified in the review and to identify any additional hazards that might be visible at the surface. • The project team will prepare a gap analysis based off of the literature review and site visits identifying areas of the aqueduct which warrant further investigation to determine if they are at risk for geological hazards. Further investigation includes but is not limited to soiling boring, excavation, additional studies, etc. • The project team will prepare an initial list of mitigation measures (for areas where sufficient information is available) which will be presented and reduced to a shortlist based on JVWCD’s level of service (LOS) goals: Long-list analysis: identify a long list of mitigation measures representing a broad range of alternatives. The long list analysis involves the following subtasks: o Develop long list of mitigation measures. o Rank the long list alternatives relative to LOS goals. o Perform a general evaluation of the alternatives based upon cost and noncost issues and the compatibility with the objectives of the project. • Short-list analysis: evaluate the top alternatives identified in the long list analysis further and recommend a final mitigation measure. • A Class V cost estimate (planning level) based on comparable projects and rulesof-thumb. Task 6 – Mitigation Selection Workshops: The purpose of this task is to present information gathered during Tasks 2, 3, and 5 evaluate the information based on the criteria established in the kickoff meeting, and select a preferred mitigation action for each affected segment of the Jordan Aqueduct. Task 7 – Jordan Aqueduct Seismic Technical Memo: Prepare a Technical Memo identifying segments of the Jordan Aqueduct (based on project status at the time of writing) which require further investigation or require immediate mitigation action implementation with cost estimates (Minimum Class V) which will be used to prepare the JVWCD FY 25/26 Annual Budget. This memo will not be required if Task 8 is developed to point to meet this need. Task 8 – Jordan Aqueduct Seismic Analysis Report: The purpose of this task is to document project work, results, provide recommendations on areas of additional study and mitigation. The Engineer will prepare a draft report, submit to JVWCD for review, incorporate comments and submit a final report of the findings.
