AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. IA
For Meeting of October 4, 2011
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing execution of an engineering and consulting services
agreement with Golder Associates, Inc. for the Preliminary Hydrotechnical
Assessment Services for the Water Treatment Plant Intake Project
SUBMITTED BY: Dave Brown, Water /Irrigation Manager
Chris Waarvick, Public Works Director
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Dave Brown / 575 -6204
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The spring floods caused the Naches River to move to the right bank away from the Water
Treatment Plant Intake. This assessment will find a way to insure the Water Plant can continue
to get water from the Naches River. This may entail moving the intake gates, rechanneling the
river or both.
• The assessment will survey the area and provide alternatives that are feasible and will be
allowed by the many service agencies that control work in river.
When the preliminary assessment is completed an addendum to this contract will be developed
for the design of the repair or rechanneling of the river to insure an adequate water supply.
(Design cost not to exceed $25,000.)

If the period of suspension exceeds ninety (90) days, the terms of this Agreement are subject to
renegotiation, and both parties are granted the option to terminate WORK on the suspended
portion of Project in accordance with SECTION 17.
SECTION 17 TERMINATION OF WORK
17.1 Either party may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, if the other party materially
breaches its obligations under this Agreement and is in default through no fault of the terminating
party. However, no such termination may be effected unless the other party is given: (1) not less
than fifteen (15) calendar days written notice delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested,
• of intent to terminate; and (2) an opportunity for consultation and for cure with the terminating
party before termination. Notice shall be considered issued within seventy -two (72) hours of
mailing by certified mail to the place of business of either party as set forth in this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A
CITY OF YAKIMA — NACHES RIVER PRELIMINARY HYDROTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SUPPORT •
FOR THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT INTAKE
SCOPE OF WORK
During the term of this AGREEMENT, the ENGINEER shall perform professional services in connection
with the following project:
A scope of work is presented here to complete Preliminary Hvdrotechnical Assessment for the
City of Yakima Water Treatment Plant Intake on the Naches River:
This scope of work covers the following tasks:
Task 1 — Data Review
Task 2 — Site Reconnaissance
Task 3 — Reporting
Task 4 — Meetings
Task 5 — Final Design
Detailed descriptions of the services are provided follows:
Task 1 — Data Review
Description: Collect available Lidar data and historical aerial photos, and any other relevant
•
studies and data (i.e. river flows, City operation info, County studies or data, etc) that may
support continued technical assessments at the site. The intent is to identify available
information, and thereby determine what additional information is needed. This review of
available information will support scoping of required detailed site surveys for in- channel and
overbank areas in the vicinity of the intake structure.
Assumptions:
• The City will provide available internal documents pertaining to historical operation of the
diversion.
• Any additional cost for the purchase of data is not included in this scope, because these
potential costs are unknown. Data acquisition and costs will be obtained and paid
directly by the City.
• The City will contract separately for the completion of the detailed site survey.
Deliverables: An email summary of collected data and status of data coordination with
applicable agencies and sources. A detailed email summary of survey requirements.
Schedule: This task will start immediately. The duration is estimated to be approximately 2 -4
weeks.
Cost: A budget of approximately $3,709 is allocated to this task.
•
Page 14
Task 2 — Site Reconnaissance
• Description: Complete a walking site reconnaissance and inspection of the river channel and
surrounding overbank floodplain areas, in the vicinity of the intake structure. The
reconnaissance will be scheduled after acquiring available site information identified in Task 1,
and after completion of the detailed site survey (so this data is available for the site recon). The
purpose of the site reconnaissance is to compare site conditions with the acquired data and
information, and make observations of site conditions to support continued review of options
and alternatives at the site.
Assumptions:
• The City will provide access authorizations for properties in proposed reconnaissance
areas.
• The reconnaissance will be scheduled around safe and practical flow and weather
conditions along the river.
Deliverables: An email summary of observations and discussions from the reconnaissance.
Schedule: To be scheduled after completion of Task 1, and upon receipt of the detailed site
survey. Estimated duration of the site reconnaissance is one (1) day.
Cost: A budget of approximately $4,188 is allocated to this task.
Task 3 — Reporting
• Description: Reporting will include development of documents (i.e. text, figures, photos, etc.)
that discuss preliminary hydrotechnical engineering recommendations addressing hydrology,
hydraulics, and fluvial geomorphic issues at the intake structure on the Naches River. This
preliminary review and assessment will provide recommendations and conceptual
hydrotechnical engineering options addressing the following two general topics:
• Review and development of conceptual hydrotechnical options, and discuss feasibility of
design /construction for adding roughness to the floodplain and main channel areas in
the vicinity of the intake structure, to encourage flows back towards the intake structure
(flows moved away from the intake structure during recent high flows).
Recommendations will take into consideration the challenging permitting requirements of
working in a channel with ESA listed species. Results will be preliminary and intended
to support continued discussions with stakeholders, and will outline any additional
required assessments, studies, modeling, or investigations needed to support continued
work at the site. Final design /assessment would be completed in a separate scope
package, not included in this effort.
• Review and develop preliminary hydrotechnical engineering recommendations for
modifications to the intake structure, outlining options or identifying what additional
information or investigations may be needed to support final design work. Final design
for the modifications would be completed in a separate scope package, not included in
this effort.
Assumptions:
• This work package will provide preliminary discussions and recommendations.
Continued coordination with the City is required to select final options for the site, which
will require additional engineering and investigation efforts to support final designs.
Page 15
Deliverables: Reporting package to include text, figures, photos, and other supporting
documentation. One hard copy and one electronic pdf copy will be provided to the City. Any •
associated electronic data, acquired in Task 1, will also be provided as electronic transfer via
Secure File Transfer (on -line large data transfer protocol).
Schedule: To be determined upon completion of Tasks 1 and 2, and in coordination with the
City.
Cost: A budget of approximately $16,737 is allocated to this task.
Tasks 4 and 5 below are not included in schedules or costs, they are however outlined here to
indicate the next steps that will be required to complete this effort.
Task 4 — Meetings
Description: Includes meetings and other discussions supporting efforts on this project for the
City. The level of effort for this task is undermined at this time.
Assumptions:
• Golder will coordinate with the City for the level of effort needed to support this task, and
is available to develop more detailed scope and cost estimates for work under this task.
• Work under this task will only be initiated at the direction of the City.
Deliverables: To be determined.
