ENGINEER will develop recommendations for optimization of chemical usage for the OWNER
WTP. OWNER will provide the jar test apparatus, labor, analysis, chemicals, and other
accessories to conduct bench-scale tests.
6.2 An energy optimization assessment will be conducted for the OWNER'S WTP. Malcolm Pirnie
will conduct an on-site audit of the facility over a period of two days to evaluate operations,
interview operating personnel, and obtain other necessary data. The analysis will rely solely on
operating and energy use data that are already recorded,can be provided by on-site staff,or can be
measured during the on-site audit.Areas that will be assessed during the audit include:
• Building systems
• Pumping systems
• Treatment systems
ENGINEER personnel will evaluate opportunities for energy savings and energy cost reduction.
Typically pumping constitutes over 80%of the electrical use at a water treatment system and will
be the focus of the evaluation. However, time of use considerations, renewable generation and
building systems can also provide significant savings. To aid in the evaluation, an approximate
breakdown of electricity use by the major processes or systems will be developed. For each
measure that is determined technically feasible, an order of magnitude opinion of probable
construction cost, a preliminary estimate of energy savings, and a high level economic analysis
(e.g.,simple payback)will be prepared.
The result of the energy optimization assessment will be documented in technical memorandum
that will include specific Energy Conservation Measure(ECM) recommendations commensurate
the level of detail appropriate for a Master Plan. In addition, ENGINEER will identify possible
data gaps and provide recommendations on additional metering or process monitoring that can be
performed to facilitate ongoing implementation of energy efficiency improvements. Conceptual
engineering of recommended capital improvements will be developed in Task 8.
ENGINEER will meet with OWNER'S energy consultant and review available data, findings,and
recommendations that could be utilized and incorporated into this project.
Task 7-Evaluation of Operations and Maintenance IT and SCADA Tools and Practices
An assessment of computerized tools and SCADA systems to support current operations and
maintenance practices, standard operating procedures,and training procedures will be conducted.
Through interviews with plant staff and OWNER'S managers, ENGINEER will document major
issues, needs, and drivers for improvement of IT and SCADA capabilities. ENGINEER will
perform an assessment of the information technology and SCADA environment at the treatment
plant,including inspecting and documenting the following key elements:

IT/SCADA improvement plan,consisting of the following major topics:
1. Current Issues,Drivers and Needs
2. Current Infrastructure and Applications
3. Improvement Prioritization
4. Recommended Improvement Initiatives
5. Readiness Assessment
This task does not include actual development of these tools,but will document the scope required
to develop these tools, along with estimated costs for their development. The results and
recommendations from this evaluation will be documented in a technical memorandum.
Conceptual engineering of recommended capital improvements will be developed in Task 8.
Task 8-Conceptual ENGINEERing and Costing of Improvements
ENGINEER will conduct a workshop to review the improvements needs and recommendations.
The objective of the workshop is gain consensus on the needed improvements. For the final
approved improvements, ENGINEER will develop conceptual engineering design that will
include drawings for site plans, and plan and major sections for new structures or existing
structures that will be significantly modified. For new unit processes, ENGINEER will also
develop preliminary Process and Instrumentation Diagrams.
For major process changes,ENGINEER will develop up to two alternatives,compare and contrast
the alternatives, prepare life-cycle cost evaluations, and make a recommendation for
implementation.
ENGINEER will use the conceptual engineering products to provide estimates of probable
construction costs for recommended capital improvements. Costs will be developed in accordance
with the practices defined by the Association for the Advancement of Cost engineering (AACE)
for a Class 4 estimate.
Task 9-Capital Improvements Plan
ENGINEER will develop evaluation and prioritization criteria to enable BAWA to compare the
benefits and costs of the various improvements being recommended. After agreement upon the
criteria, ENGINEER will provide preliminary scoring and ranking of improvements, along with a
phasing plan for improvements with estimated cash flow. The preliminary results will be
presented to BAWA in a workshop. In the workshop, OWNER will have the opportunity to
change the preliminary scoring to assess the sensitivity of the evaluation criteria. The final results
of the workshop will be documented in a draft Capital Improvements Plan.
