SCOPE OF WORK - AMENDMENT
WWTP IMPROVEMENTS PHASE 2 ENGINEER OF RECORD
CITY OF PASCO, WA
Background
The City of Pasco, Washington has been one of the fastest growing cities in the State of
Washington and the nation over the last several years. To plan for the impacts of this growth on
the municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and ensure it has adequate treatment capacity
for the foreseeable future, a Facility Plan was recently completed. This report identified existing
and projected future WWTP deficiencies through the year 2040 and developed a plan to address
them. The Facility Plan was approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology)
in August of 2019. The Phase 1 improvements are nearing the end of construction.
In 2021 and 2022, Consor (Consultant) designed the WWTP Improvements Project and Outfall
Replacement 2B Project (Phase 2 Projects). The projects were bid in early 2023. Also, in early 2023,
HDR Engineering Inc. (HDR) was selected to lead the Construction Management services. The work
program described herein for Phase 2 Projects and the proposed budget both assume that the
City of Pasco and HDR as the third -party Construction Manager will lead, manage, and oversee the
construction phase. The phrase "The City' will be used hereafter to refer collectively to the City of
Pasco and HDR. Consultant will have an active role in assisting The City to oversee and manage the
construction of the Phase 2 improvements as described in the following Scope of Services.
The following Scope of Services has four (4) different tasks and is for the Engineer of Record
services during construction of the Phase 2 Projects only.
Scope of Services
Task 10 - Project Management WWTP Improvements 2A and Outfall
Replacement 213
The objective of the Project Management task is to manage and monitor the status of the
Consultant team's work. This task includes project invoicing and budget status tracking, the
development of and updates to the Project Management Plan, a kick-off meeting, general

on project budget will be provided as part of the monthly invoicing process. Monthly invoices will
include expenditures by task, hours worked by project personnel, and other direct expenses with
the associated backup documentation. Monthly progress reports will accompany each invoice and
include budget status (percent spent and budget remaining), summary of work accomplished,
work anticipated in the next invoice, issues encountered and actions taken for their resolution or
that still require project team action, and discussion of identified potential impacts to scope,
