services are available but are not included in this Scope of Work.
3.2 Add existing IPS mechanical and site piping, distribution mains, clean water system wells, and
pipelines to the hydraulic model. Add farm circle flow and pressure demands gathered by
Valley to the hydraulic model to model operations. Review and compare the model results to
SCADA data for the peak days in the prior year.
3.3 Model the existing system with the desired flows and pressures at each of the existing circles
with flow mix alternatives from the clean water system that will be required in the future
when pretreatment is anticipated.
3.4 Coordinate with Valley to review the soils for new circles to expand the LTS and estimate
infiltration rates and water holding capacities. Work with Lad Equipment on preliminary circle
designs, including nozzle size, spacing, flows, and pressures.
3.5 Model up to three (3) additional flow scenarios, including: 1) adding the Beus Farms, Inc.,
parcel (Beus parcel) and the northeast US Bureau of Reclamation parcel (NE Reclamation
parcel); 2) adding the Beus parcel, the NE Reclamation parcel, and the Voss Farms, LLC, parcel
(Voss parcel); and 3) adding the Beus parcel, NE Reclamation parcel, and the Washington
State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) parcel. Estimated flow and pressure
requirements for Voss and DNR will be placed at nodes in the existing model closest to those
properties. Detailed routes will not be laid out for Voss or DNR until the City has definitive
plans for the LTS.
