Statement of Work and Payment Schedule

I.  Statement of Work

The CBWTP Dry Weather Primary Clarifier Expansion Project (Project 6905) is one of a series of capital improvement projects associated with the control of combined sewer overflow (CSO) in the Willamette River basin in the City of Portland. Principally, the project adds additional dry weather clarifier treatment capacity at the CBWTP to handle projected dry weather flows from the Willamette River basin CSO control systems. The original construction of the first three dry weather clarifiers allowed those to be placed into service in the spring 2001, providing primary dry weather treatment capacity of 120 mgd.

II.  General Project Description

The CBWTP Dry Weather Primary Clarifier Expansion Project (CBWTP/DWCL) will expand the primary treatment capacity at the CBWTP to deal with future flows and loads to the plant associated with the implementation of the Willamette River basin CSO Control Plan (WRCSOCP). The facility will be sized to accommodate the increased flows from both the Phase 1 (West Side) and Phase 2 (East Side) components of the WRCSOCP as defined in the Willamette River CSO Predesign Project (WRPP) Technical Memorandum. Based on the current planning, the facility will need to handle dry weather flows of 160 mgd.

The final product of this contract will be the design of a fourth dry weather primary clarifier with associated sludge and scum handling facilities, as well as extensions to the existing pumping gallery and yard piping/channels required to direct plant influent to the facility and on to downstream processes.

The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) defines and programs capital projects in the following sequential phases:

1.  Predesign

2.  Design

3.  Bid and Award

4.  Construction

5.  Startup and Closeout

This Scope of Work (SOW) is for professional services during the design phase, bid and award phase, and construction phase of the CBWTP/DWCL project. The major work elements are:

A.  Predesign Services, including Project Definition and Schematic Design and Value Engineering

B.  Design Services, including Design Development and Final Detailed Design

C.  Bid Phase Services

D.  Services During Construction

E.  Project ManagementContract Administration

The City of Portland BES Project Manager is Vu Han (503/823-2635)

III.    Schedule of Work

Work shall start within 10 working days after notice to proceed. Contractor shall complete final design services and submit Final Contract Documents, Final Construction Cost Estimate, and a final Construction Schedule to the City on or before November 15, 2006. See attached schedule.

•  Receive the positive endorsement of internal and external stakeholders.

•  Comply with all regulatory requirements and procedures.

•  Effectively coordinate with all related projects and plant operations.

VI.  Scope of Work

The Dry Weather primary clarifier expansion design work will be carried out using a phased design delivery approach to assure a coordinated and efficient completion of the work. At critical design milestones, design review workshops will be conducted with BES personnel and

key individuals from the CH2M HILL project team. The task level of effort is based on considerable use of the design calculations, drawings, and specifications prepared by CH2M HILL for the previous Dry Weather Primary Clarifier facility.

 

Task 1: Predesign Services

 

The predesign task will develop and evaluate alternative design concepts, then develop the preferred options to approximately a 30 percent design completion. The primary deliverable from this task is a Predesign Report that includes design criteria, technical memorandum, preliminary drawings, and a construction cost estimate. CH2M HILL will conduct several meetings with the BES project team to present design concepts and gain feedback from the BES project team. Information to be discussed will include operational concerns with the existing facility, such as the air handling system in the building, scum trough flushing, and sludge pumping. For the new clarifier, discussion items include the method of covering the basins, monitoring sludge blanket, and cleaning the clarifier.

 

Task 1.1—Formal Meetings/Workshops

CH2M HILL will conduct five formal meetings with BES staff (Staff Advisory Committee) plus site visits to local (Portland Metro) facilities:

•  Kick-off and Chartering Meeting – discussion of general project approach, design criteria, goals and objectives, schedule and workshop approach

•  Operational Issues Workshops – identify operational issues and options for improvement, engaging O&M staff

•  Sludge Pumping and Scum Handling Issues

•  Basin Access and Flushing Issues

•  HVAC/Odor Control Issues

•  Site visits to other facilities

 

Task 1.1 Assumptions:

•  Architectural – extension of existing building; code review of existing facilities for potential Building Code issues

•  Landscape Architectural – concept for perimeter landscaping and screening views

•  Structural – review prior design calculations for changes due to new Building Code requirements; primary clarifier covers.

•  Geotechnical – soil contamination investigation; review of previous geotechnical analysis and perform additional borings.

•  Process/Mechanical – options for primary sludge monitoring and pumping; scum removal; cleaning of basins; constructibility; size all major equipment. Evaluate chain and flight mechanisms – review materials and durability issues.

•  HVAC – options for improving air handling within building to reduce moisture and odors.

•  Instrumentation and Control – P&ID’s (Assume process and primary instrumentation shown; assume 2 or 3 P&ID's), Integration Plan with existing controls.

•  Electrical –electrical loads for new equipment; one-line diagram; electrical feeds to facility.

•  Construction Cost and Phasing with 30-percent Construction Cost Estimate

 

Task 1.3 Assumptions:

2.  Assume exist survey data is available from City

3.  Assume any permitting efforts will be led by BES with support from design team.

4.  Assume no archeological or environmental review necessary, other than soil testing described below.

5.  Assume DWCL4 is expanded similarly to original design of DWCL1-3. Alternative designs for the scum system, pumping systems, etc., could alter the level of effort.

6.  Predesign Report itself is prepared under a later subtask.

7.  For the soil contamination subtask, assume:

•  16 geoprobe holes driven to a depth of 12 feet below ground surface for samples. Maximum depth is based on previous sampling (Note: Expenses for drilling contractor).

•  6 soil samples collected at various depths per hole for 96 samples plus duplicate samples up to a total of 105 samples.

The Contractor’s billing and City’s payment procedures shall be as described below:

 

Interim Payments

On or before the 20th of each month, the Contractor shall submit to the City’s Project Manager an invoice for work performed by the Contractor during the previous month. The invoice shall set out all items for payment, including the name of the individual, hours worked during the period, tasks performed within the period, and total amount claimed. Within 30 days after receipt of the bill, provided the Project Manager has certified the payment as due, the City shall pay the amount certified to the Contractor. The Project Manager’s certification of a payment as due, however, shall not prevent the Project Manager from later determining that the certification was in error.

 

Payment to the Contractor is due upon receipt of invoice by the Owner. If payment is not made within 30 days, interest on the unpaid balance will accrue beginning with the 31st day at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is lesser. Such interest will become due and payable at the time said overdue payment is made.

 

 

In the event that the City questions some elements of an invoice, that fact should be made known to the Contractor within 48 hours of receipt of invoice. Contractor will help effect resolution and transmit a revised invoice as necessary. Amount not questioned by the City shall be paid promptly to Contractor in accordance with the above payment procedures.

 

Invoice Forms

 

The following forms shall be submitted with Contractor’s invoice:

 

1.  PTE Monthly Subcontracting Utilization Report

2.  Invoice Supplement for Task Based Level of Effort Contracts
