Identify facilities and equipment necessary to access and remove screening systems process equipment for maintenance or repair including modifications to the existing Headworks Building, if needed. G. Provide a preliminary assessment of the hazard classification of the areas that would be impacted by the project in accordance with NFPA 820. It is assumed that the existing electrical system has sufficient capacity to handle revised and additional loads. This scope and budget does not include an electrical analysis of the existing system. If electrical upgrades are required, it is assumed that the consulting team working on the North End Electrical Distribution System Improvements project will provide necessary inputs into the headworks analysis. City Responsibilities: 1. Provide as -built CAD drawings of existing facilities Subtask 202: Develop Life Cycle Costs The purpose of this subtask is to develop a comparative life cycle cost analysis for the alternatives identified above. The life cycle cost analysis includes preparation of preliminary opinions of probable construction cost (consistent with a "Class 5" cost estimate), planning level operating and maintenance costs and other project costs for each alternative. The comparative analyses should also include a discussion of relative performance capabilities and operation and maintenance considerations as part of a life cycle cost analyses. Client acknowledges that construction cost estimates, financial analyses and feasibility projections are subject to many influences including, but not limited to, price of labor and materials, unknown or latent conditions of existing equipment or structures, and time or quality of performance by third parties. Client acknowledges that such influences may not be precisely forecasted and are beyond the control of Engineer and that actual costs incurred may vary substantially from the estimates prepared by Engineer. Engineer does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of construction or development cost estimates. Exhibit "A" Headworks and Screening Requirements Basis of Design Page 3 of 4 TASK 300 — WORKSHOP AND SELECTION OF ALT The purpose of this task is to attend and participate in a Project peer review Workshop to present design and performance data, conceptual layouts for each alternative, and the comparative analysis as prepared under Task 200, above. City Responsibilities: 1. It is assumed that the City will confirm selection the recommended /preferred alternative as part of this Workshop or shortly thereafter. TASK 400 — FINAL PROJECT REPORT The purpose of this task is to summarize and document activities from preceding tasks in a brief Final Project Report identifying the recommended /preferred alternative. The final report shall include an updated cost breakdown and opinion of probable total project cost, a detailed design and performance data summary, and updated schematics and conceptual layout drawings for the recommended alternative which reflect the input from the Peer Review Workshop and other comments and input from YRWWTP staff. The budget does not include additional effort for re- evaluation of material if a decision is changed by the City. Although components of the Final Project Report will be suitable for inclusion in a WAC 173 - 240 -060 Engineering Report, the Final Project Report is not intended to address all WAC Engineering Report requirements or be submitted to the Department of Ecology. City Responsibilities: 1. Review the draft Project Report and provide one set of comments. TASK 500 — GENERAL — Project Management / City Coordination Conduct activities to maintain coordination of the work with the Client. Meet with Client on a regular basis (weekly conference call) to review progress of the project. Submit monthly reports summarizing the progress of the project by task, for its duration. The reports will be submitted along with monthly invoices. The progress reports will document progress made toward completion of the project, and provide updated information on budget and schedule. Perform the general administrative duties associated with the project, including preparation of correspondence, office administration, administration of contracts with sub - Engineers, and progress monitoring. Complete all tasks within 90 days of signing the notice to proceed, contingent upon receipt of necessary project information and decisions from the City. The anticipated schedule is as follows: • Task 100 Complete: 30 days from NTP • Task 200 Complete: 30 days from completion of Task 100 and confirmation of short- listed alternatives • Task 300 Complete: 2 weeks after completion of Task 200 • Task 400 Complete: 2 weeks after completion of Task 300 Subtask 010: Quality Assurance The purpose of this subtask is to have a senior technical expert review work products.
