EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
BACKGROUND
The City of Baytown (City) East District Wastewater Treatment Plant(ED WWTP)was inundated by
Hurricane Harvey flood waters in 2017. Flooding caused extensive damage to various process areas and
infrastructure and resulted in operational interruptions.
The general scope of the ED WWTP Phase 2 improvements include the following components:
■ A. Belt Press Building:A new belt press building will be constructed, with the belt presses and
polymer equipment located on the second floor,above the flood level.This building will
integrate a new maintenance shop and an electrical room for electrical equipment above the
flood level.
➢ Evaluate anew sludge dewatering system including belt press, polymer storage and feed
system, booster pump system, and sludge cake conveyance and distribution system.
■ B. Chemical Feed Building:A new chemical feed&storage building will be constructed,with
all chemical storage and feed equipment and electrical equipment located on the second floor
above the flood level.
➢ Evaluate option of using bulk sodium hypochlorite for chlorination to replace existing gas
chlorine system.
➢ Evaluation option of using on-site hypochlorite generator system for chlorination.
➢ Bulk sodium bisulfite for dichlorination to replace existing sulfur dioxide system.
■ C.Grit Pumps&Panels: Existing grit pumps will be replaced with new pumps that work with
an immersible motor that can be submerged. New control panels and electrical equipment,
conduit,and cables will be installed above the flood level.
➢ Evaluate the capacity and hydraulics for the new pumps.
■ D. Plant-wide Electrical System:All damaged electrical equipment,switchboard,and motor
control centers(MCC)will be demolished and replaced with new.The new switchboard and
MCCs will be installed in an elevated new Electrical Building.Control panels for Clarifier RAS
and WAS pumps,grit pumps, belt filter presses&conveyors,sludge transfer pumps, chemical
system and other affected equipment process areas will be replaced with new NEMA 4X
stainless steel panels.
■ E.Influent Lift Station :A new wet-well influent lift station will be constructed to the west of
the existing treatment unit#3, bringing it outside of the 500-year flood plain.This lift station
will replace the current dry-pit lift station No. 1 as well as existing lift station No. 2.The lift
station auto sensory control system will be replaced with a new stand-alone control panel
house with Rockwell Automation Compact Logic PLC,local HMI, pump Protection replays,
A-1
timers, control relays and Ethernet switch for plant network SCADA to monitor all system
levels, equipment status,and alarms.
➢ Preliminary engineering evaluation of this scope item has been completed. No further
evaluation will be made.
■ F. Blower Building:The blower building MCC and all electrical components,conduits, and
power and control cables will be replaced. Each aeration blower will be provided with a new
stand-alone NEMA 12 local control panel.A new stand-alone NEMA 12 Master blower control
panel will be installed.The Mater control panel shall include Rockwell Automation Compact
Logic PLC, local HMI surge arresters,control relays, Ethernet switch for communication with
plant network SCADA and each aeration blower control panel.The master blower control
panel will monitor and maintain total air requirements and control blowers 4,5,6,7,8 on a daily
routine per system requirements. Each digester blower will be provided with a new stand-
alone NEMA 12 local control panel.
➢ No improvements or upgrade are anticipated on the blower equipment.
■ G.Plant Lighting system: Luminaires will be removed and replaced with LED lam and
explosion proof type fixtures. Existing rusted light poles will be replaced with new.
■ H.Sludge Pumps&Motors:The sludge transfer pumps that feed the belt presses will be
replaced with new pumps located on top of the digester basins, above the flood level. Remove
and replace all conduits and power/control cables for the pump motors. Reinstall the existing
Junction box mounted on a rack above the required 500-year flood elevation. Panels and
MCC-1 will be replaced with new NEMA U panels.
➢ Evaluate the capacity and hydraulics for the new pumps.
■ I.WAS Pumps:WAS pumps at clarifier 1 will be replaced with new pumps.All electrical
equipment and associated conduits and cables will be replaced and installed above flood
elevation.
i- Evaluate the capacity and hydraulics for the new pumps.
■ J.Aeration Basins Railings: Damaged railings at the aeration basins will be replaced.
Structural separation will be repaired.
■ K.Perimeter Security:The entire perimeter fence will be replaced along with the main gate
with new access gates,
■ L. Effluent Pipe to Outfall :The outfall structure will be replaced with a new winged head wall
and re-stabilized with erosion control measures.
■ M.Site Erosion Issues:The east side of the plant,approximately 209,000 square feet will be
regraded from the middle of the plant to the creek edge.
■ N. Miscellaneous Process Structures:The top of the treatment units,which include flow
splitter box, aeration basins, clarifiers,and chlorine contact basins complex,and digester, are
below the 500-yr+1 level.The perimeter walls of these process structures will be extended
A-2
up to above the flood elevation.This will encompass the WAS& RAS pumps,which require
replacement.
The sum total of these effort will bring the major process areas of the plant above the 500-yr flood plain
level by at least one foot and protect the plant in the future against severe damage such as that seen
during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
