Oobad: Printed Name My commission expires: EXHIBIT A Scope of Work City of Yakima Influent Grit Removal System Repairs and Improvements June 2026 Background RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) has been selected to design, assist with services during bidding and construction, and provide arc flash analysis and programming support for a project to replace or refurbish portions of the influent grit removal system at the City of Yakima's (City) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), RH2 prepared the 2022 WWTP Facility Master Plan (Plan) that recommended improvements to the influent grit removal system in project PL02. These improvements generally included replacement of the two grit paddle drives, grit piping system, grit dewatering equipment, and grit hopper actuated gate. The Plan recommended baffling be added to the grit basins to improve grit removal performance, The concrete covers over the grit chambers will be replaced with removable covers to facilitate this work and future maintenance of the chambers. In subsequent discussions between RH2 and the City, an alternative approach to the improvements was identified, including installation of new grit dewatering equipment in the truck bay of the Influent Building, which would allow for the complete removal of the grit hopper. This alternative will be evaluated early in this project. Additional considerations discussed and improvements included in this Scope of Work are as follows: + The slide gates upstream of the grit chambers will be considered for replacement or refurbishment. This may prompt changes to the piping between the existing terminal manhole, which collects the Yard Pump Station (YPS) and trickling filter grit return, and the grit chamber. The City will visually assess the below -grade piping between the grit basins and the Influent Building in order to evaluate potential rehabilitation efforts. The grit pumps currently appear to warrant replacement due to their age and condition, and this will be included in the project. • A permanent lifting mechanism will be included in the design to allow for the removal of the grit pumps from the basement of the Influent Building through the existing hatch. The septage receiving tanks below the truck bay will be permanently filled and capped. The existing Influent Building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is aging and will be evaluated for replacement, as the new grit removal equipment will likely have new ventilation needs. The existing motor control centers and control panel are in good condition and do not need to be replaced. However, the existing networking equipment and programmable logic controller (PLC) have exceeded their intended lifespan and should be replaced. 1 6/25/20262:41:21 PMD:\Data\YAK`,Bus©ev\20260303_YAK_M2 OO27_Influent Grit Removal System Repairs and Impr©vernents\On Contract\PSA_S©W_Influent Grit Removal Sys Repairs trnd Imprvnnt.d©cx City of Yakima Influent Grit Removal System Repairs and Improvements Exhibit A Scope of Work Portions of the non -potable water piping in the Influent Building basement will be modified or replaced in conjunction with the grit slurry piping work. • Flood switches will be added as applicable to the Influent Building. General Assumptions The following assumptions were made when preparing this Scope of Work: • RH2 will rely upon the accuracy and completeness of information, data, and materials generated or produced by the City or others in relation to this Scope of Work. Information is assumed to be provided by or with written authorization from the owner of the information. • Deliverables will be submitted in electronic format (PDF) unless otherwise noted. • The services described herein will be performed to the level of effort identified in the attached Fee Estimate. If additional effort is needed, that extra work will be mutually determined by the City and RH2. • This Scope of Work will be supported by RH2's subsidiary, Control Systems NW LLC (CSNW), via a subconsultant services agreement. • This project will generally consist of equipment maintenance and replacement items and an Engineering Report in accordance with Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-240-050, or other predesign report, will not be necessary. As needed, the City can notify the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) regarding this project. No dedicated meeting or regulatory items are assumed to be required for this project. • As this project will primarily consist of the replacement of wastewater treatment process equipment, no coordination with the City Building Department is assumed to be necessary for the project. • A site survey and geotechnical investigation will not be necessary for this work as the improvements will generally be completed within existing buildings and structures. RH2 will rely on the original contract drawings for the facility to establish existing base maps and floor plans. Task 1— Project Management Objective: Manage project work elements, maintain City communications via phone calls and emails, and provide periodic budget and schedule updates to the City. Approach: 1.1 Coordinate with the RH2 project team. Organize, manage, and coordinate engineering disciplines and subconsultants.
