EXHIBIT A
Statement of the Work
and
Payment Schedule
I. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Harney Pump Station, constructed in 1945, is owned and operated by BES. The station was last updated in 1992 and a crane rail system to provide a means of removing the pumps was added in 1997. The station has two pumps each rated at 1,000 gallons per minute. The pumps are actually only producing about 400 gpm due to wear over the life of the station. The BES System Analysis section is studying proposed modifications to the upstream collection system, which when implemented will modify the future flows into the Harney Pump Station. Future flows are currently estimated to approach a peak influent of approximately 3,500 gpm. Regardless of the final flows determined by the collection system study, the station will require a major upgrade because of the limited active volume available in the wet well.
The current wet well volume-per-foot is 655 gallons. The active volume between pump “ON” and pump “OFF” is only 1,114 gallons. This volume may be increased slightly, but not enough to utilitize the wet well in its present configuration for significantly increased flows. The desired cycle time for the pumps is six minutes. The minimum active wet well volume for a design flow of 2,500 gpm at a cycle time of six minutes is 3,750 gallons and at 3,500 gpm the volume required is 5,250 gallons.
To provide the required active volume to accommodate future flows, the wet well will require major modifications. The entire substructure may require being re-configured to a submersible pump station and a new control building constructed adjacent the existing station. The control building will include an electrical room, a separate room for an on-site standby generator and possibly a restroom. The station is located on property owned by the City of Portland. A portion of the site is used for a community garden operated by Portland Parks and Recreation. The construction of a control building and valve vault will require displacing some of the garden area.
In addition to a new control building and valve vault, the project will require a by-pass pumping system to accommodate flow during construction. Based on available data from BES the flows during January 2002 averaged about 250 gpm. Peak flows reached about 500 gpm. The by-pass pumping system should be sized to handle estimated peak flows of 500 gpm during construction. This flow should be adjusted based on the results of the collection system evaluation.
II. SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work includes Pre-design and Design of an upgrade project for the Harney Pump Station. Services beyond final design including services during bidding, services during construction and startup and closeout service will be negotiated at a later date, and only authorized by a written contract amendment under the city’s PTE contract requirements.
The David Evan and Associates (DEA) design team will work with the City’s Project Manager and staff to make sure that the project requirements and desired products are produced in a timely manner and within budget to meet the December 1, 2006 deadline.
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Key Personnel: Jim Gilmer, Project Manager
Objective:
• Direct and manage the consultant design team to achieve budget and schedule goals, and the implementation of appropriate QA/QC procedures.
Jim Gilmer, project manager, will have overall responsibility for the performance of the consultant team and will manage his staff and subconsultants using a progression of management tools to monitor and control the execution of this project. Project status/progress meetings with BES, DEA, and subconsultant staff will be held on a monthly basis. Ongoing tasks will be tracked through Action Item lists, with identified responsible parties. Schedule control will be maintained through monitoring and update of the Microsoft Project schedule. Task costs will be monitored weekly to immediately identify potential problem areas. An administrative project assistant will be assigned to coordinate and facilitate all meetings and communications.
Communications - At project initiation, DEA will develop a list with all project contacts. The list will be updated as necessary and revised by DEA’s project assistant. Contacts include BES personnel, key contacts on the consultant team, utility coordination contacts, and permit agency contacts. The list will contain names, organizations, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. Jeff Hanks, the BES project manager will be copied on all communications related to contract or policy issues. DEA’s project assistant will also file all communication records to assure all chains of correspondence are preserved.
Progress Meetings - Key members of the project team will be brought into the progress meetings as required. A status report for each meeting will be prepared with specific detail in the follow categories:
1) Work accomplished since last meeting;
2) Issues encountered;
3) Decisions needed to maintain schedule;
4) Work planned for next month;
5) Budget status; and
6) Schedule status
Using this format, the entire team will be kept updated on project status and critical issues are brought forward and remain visible until resolved.
Budget Tracking – DEA’s Management Information System (MIS) will be customized for the Project. Project and task managers can receive cost-tracking information on a weekly basis. All task and subtask charges are logged under their own Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), providing activity-related cost accounting. MIS reports are downloaded weekly, as soon as they become available. Tracking costs weekly allows early identification of potential overcharges and under-charges, so the project manager can take immediate corrective action, where necessary.
Schedule Tracking - The project schedule is tracked directly on the Microsoft Project Gantt Chart. Actual progress is compared to the proposed schedule with appropriate adjustments made to either the executing or planning processes. Milestones identified on the project schedule are used as touchstones for evaluating progress. The failure to meet any milestone results in the re-evaluation of both the schedule and project execution process. Monitoring of progress between milestones is performed weekly.
Documentation and Record keeping - At the initiation of the project, a complete administrative breakdown will be established. The project logs, MIS format, the paper filing system, the electronic filing system, and e-mail system are all custom formatted, based on the project manager’s requirements. The project assistant is responsible for creating and maintaining these systems throughout the job.
All incoming or outgoing correspondence and e-mail is routed through the project assistant, who tracks and files all communication. All contract deliverables are routed through our Records Management Group, which maintains separate archival paper and hard copies of all deliverables. All network servers are backed up daily to allow for data recovery in case of computer problems.
A project log is maintained on the network where the team can access it. All project related conversations, meetings, site inspections, requests, and decisions are recorded in the project log. During construction, separate logs are maintained for RFIs, change order requests, material submittals, and site inspections. All construction-related requests are logged by date received and date of response.
QA/QC Methodology - The quality control measures used include several techniques such as: calculation checks, plan checks (including back-checking), revision procedures, quantity and cost estimates, and specification/plan comparison at the 30-, 60-, and 90-percent and final submittals.
Plan checks will be made prior to each of the above-described submittals. Drawings will be filed showing the completed cycle of review and back checking. Revisions based upon BES comments will be reviewed, back-checked, and recorded in the same manner as internal reviews.
The revision box will be used to indicate revisions to issued drawings such as addenda, change orders, and modification to issued drawings. Going from a 30-percent submittal to a 60-percent submittal will be considered a re-issue of the drawing, not a revision.
Specifications will be completed using the City of Portland BES format. Subconsultants are to compare their specifications and plans to see that they are in conformance with each other for their task. DEA will be responsible for conformance to BES specification, format, consistency, clarity, and reference from section to section. Measurement and payment provisions will be produced in agreement with the contract bid schedule.
Quality Assurance Audits - Quality assurance audits will be conducted or directed by the principle-in-charge, Don Whitehead, PE, to verify that the QC system is functioning as designed. DEA will maintain records of the audit, findings, and corrective action, including follow-up audits, if necessary. BES may be included on the audit team. The principle-in-charge will meet with the project manager to review and implement necessary corrective actions. Copies of the audit will be provided to DEA’s Portland office quality systems manager.
DEA anticipates that City staff will assist in gathering any existing data that was not available during the preparation of this proposal.
Other tasks determined during the project kick-off meeting will also be completed by City staff and include the following:
• Provide a Project Engineer/Manager who is responsible for overall project management and will provide coordination between the consultant and the City.
• Provide City staff member(s) to provide timely response to any questions, and to be available for meetings requested by the consultant.
• Provide survey services for design and construction.
• Provide electrical design services.
• Printing of documents for distribution.
• Make available guidelines, policies, and regulations to be used in developing design.
• Maintain records and process payment requests.
As a minimum, review meetings with City staff will be established as described below. DEA will meet with the City for the following meetings:
• Project Kick-off
• Preliminary Design Report
• Preliminary Design Submittal (30%)
• Review Submittal (60%)
• Final Review Submittal (90%)
Task 1 Deliverables: Monthly status report, updated project schedule, summary of any meetings, and telephone conversation records that impact the progress of the work.
TASK 2: PRE-DESIGN CONFIRMATION
The pre-design confirmation process will begin with a Kick-off Meeting attended by key DEA design team members, the City’s project manager and appropriate city staff. The purpose of the meeting is to gather existing data and reports, and establish goals and objectives for the preliminary design report.
DEA, with the assistance of the City staff, will collect and review existing data pertinent to the Harney Pump Station and force main systems including:
• City of Portland design criteria
• Data collection from City records such as as-built and flow data
• Available mapping and design information previously developed
• Description of existing rights-of-way and easements
• City of Portland City’s standard construction specifications similar to the California Pump Station project DEA recently completed
DEA’s design team will work with the BES Systems Analysis section to determine projected design flows for final design. Gathering data and coordinating with the Systems Analysis section is anticipated to be complete within four to six weeks after the kick-off meeting.
The preliminary design report will evaluate alternative wet well and pump configurations for the station, based on the projected design flows that will be developed, and make recommendations for improvement. Submersible wet well alternatives may include a conventional wet well or a self-cleaning trench-type wet well. Pump alternatives include an evaluation of a two-pump system and a three-pump system. In a two-pump configuration, both pumps will be required to handle the peak flow. In a three-pump configuration one pump would handle the normal flows two pumps in parallel would handle the peak flow and the third pump would alternate with the other two and provide backup if one pump is out of service.
Pre-design will include, at a minimum, the following:
• A complete review of the current land use to determine the necessary permits that will be required to upgrade the station, and a pre-application meeting will be conducted to confirm the land use reviews required.
• A complete structural evaluation of the existing structure for gravity, hydrostatic and lateral loads. Findings will be incorporated into the Pre-design Report.
• A review and evaluation of the HVAC systems and odor control options.
The pre-design report, will also include an evaluation of the force main configuration between the station and the discharge manhole. Existing records show that the force main is 12-inch diameter cast iron approximately 275 feet in length. The maximum flow in the force main to be within the range of 3 fps to 10 fps is 3,800 gpm. This maximum flow is larger than the anticipated projected peak flow for the Harney station so DEA does not believe that any major upgrade work will be necessary on the force main except the addition of a valve vault at the site.
Another pre-design subtask report will be to update available AutoCAD drawings from the existing “as-constructed” plans of the pump stations by scanning and converting the existing plans into usable AutoCAD files as required. An on-site survey of the pump station will be conducted in order to update the AutoCAD drawings as necessary so they can be used during detailed design.
City Review and Revisions to Preliminary Design Report
DEA will attend a review meeting at the City to receive comments on the draft preliminary design report. DEA will make adjustments and changes, as required, based on comments received during the City review meeting.
Task 2 Deliverables: DEA will provide 10 copies of the draft report including recommendations for upgrading the station, and results of the land use and zoning code review for review and comment by the City staff. The final report will incorporate all the comments received from the draft review. The final pre-design report will include a project schedule and preliminary construction cost estimate. DEA will provide an updated work plan, based on the final recommendations in the pre-design report, for final design.
TASK 3: FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
During the preparation of the preliminary design report, field survey work will be completed that will include a topographic base map for the pump station site and force main between the station and the discharge manhole. Field surveys will be performed by City of Portland survey crews and the electronic files will be provided to DEA. The design survey will establish vertical and horizontal control and provide detailed field information needed to prepare topographic base maps, which will be used for the design and construction of the pump station remodel including the control building, valve vault, by-pass pumping system any necessary force main modifications. This will include any property corners and monuments found along the route.
A geotechnical investigation at the pump station site will be performed, and will include backhoe test pits to determine foundation design criteria for the control building and valve vault.
Task 3 Deliverables: Hard copy and electronic files for the base mapping and five copies of the Geotechnical Investigation Report.
TASK 4: PRELIMINARY DESIGN
Design Development to 30-Percent
The preparation of the preliminary and final design will be based on the final approved recommendations contained in the preliminary design report. Utilizing the field survey a preliminary site design of the improvements showing the existing pump station, new control building, valve vault, and by-pass pump facilities will be completed.
The AutoCAD drawings of the existing pump stations will be updated and prepared during the pre-design report phase will be used to develop demolition plans of the pump station, and proposed improvements including pumps, piping, electrical equipment and control building. It is anticipated that the existing wet well will need to be modified to accommodate submersible pumps.
During the preliminary design, DEA will further develop the modifications to replace the existing pumps and electrical and control systems. This work will also include the addition of a standby generator and a restroom in the control building. Proposed pump station improvements, details, demolition plans, and draft technical specifications will be prepared. Additional items of work include developing a by-pass pumping plan, erosion control plan and traffic control plan.
A land use pre-application package will be prepared with the required material necessary (application, site plans, project description narration) in order for a pre-application meeting to be scheduled with the Bureau of Development Services. VAI staff will coordinate the timing of the pre-application meeting to make sure that BES project manager and DEA project manager can attend the meeting. VAI staff will attend the meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to obtain input from BDS staff on land use permit application requirements.
DEA will utilize its technical specifications developed for similar pump station projects for the City of Portland as a starting point for the technical specifications for this project. DEA will prepare a preliminary construction cost estimate.
Task 4 Deliverables: Six copies of the 30-percent design, Pre-application submittal package, preliminary construction estimates, and electronic files for City review.
City Review and Revisions to 30-Percent Design
DEA will attend a review meeting at the City to receive comments on the 30-percent design. DEA will make adjustments and changes, as required, based on comments received during the City review meeting.
TASK 5: FINAL DESIGN
Design Development to 60-Percent
The preparation of the final design will be based on the 30-percent design with review comments by the City incorporated, or otherwise resolved. Final design of pump station modifications, including the demolition of the station, and proposed improvements including pumps, piping, electrical equipment and control building, will be advanced to 60-percent complete. Final plans will include further developing the modifications to replace the existing pumps, wet well, and electrical and control systems. The proposed improvements will include the addition of a standby generator and restroom in the new control building, a by-pass pumping plan, erosion control plan and traffic control plan and update the construction cost estimate.
A conditional use permit application will be prepared. The application will include an existing site plan, proposed development plan, photos of the site, mitigation or remediation site plan, and a detailed narration that addresses the code requirements and standards. The project team will coordinate with BDS and BES staff to answer questions, address comments, and facilitate the review.
Deliverables: Six copies of the 60-percent design plans and specifications (one unbound), conditional use permit application for City review. In addition DEA will prepare a pre-application for land use application requirements from BDS and a type II conditional use permit application.
City Review and Revisions to 60-Percent Design
DEA will attend a review meeting at the City to receive comments on the 60-percent design, and will make adjustments and changes, as required, based on comments received during the City review meeting.
Design Development to 90-Percent
