II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$427,000.00 Water Fund 411 (MN).
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City owns and operates a municipal water system for domestic use. The
raw water supply for this system is supplied by two surface water intakes in the
Columbia River. Two water treatment plants, associated pumping stations,
reservoirs, and pipelines form the remainder of the City’s municipal system.
The current Water System Plan (WSP) was approved by the Washington State
Department of Health (DOH) on February 16, 2019. The City is periodically
required by WAC 246-290-100 to submit an updated WSP to DOH to maintain
the right to operate the municipal water system. The approved update of the
current WSP is required by DOH on or before March 21, 2027. WAC 246-290-
100 (11) indicates that an amendment may submitted to DOH for approval at
any time, but an amendment does not alter the approval period and a complete
update will be required by the expiration date.
On June 2, 2023, City staff met with DOH to have a Pre-plan meeting
Page 3 of 70
regarding the WSP update.
The project was advertised in February 9, 2023 with Statements of
Qualifications (SOQs) due on March 6, 2023, from qualified consultants to
perform a study and update to the City’s Comprehensive Water System Plan.
The amended and updated comprehensive plan shall include updating the
City's water service area, near and long-term planning for capital improvements
and infrastructure needs based upon population and land use regulations, and
shall utilize computer-generated water system modeling to establish the basis
for the capital improvement plan.
V. DISCUSSION:
One (1) SOQ from RH2 Engineering, Inc. was submitted to the City for
consideration on March 6, 2023.
The successful development of the amended updated Water System Plan will
include, but is not limited to the following elements: Data Collection; Updated
water service area; Population and Demand Projection; System Analysis;
Water Use Efficiency; Operations and Maintenance; Capital Improvements
Plan; and Financial Analysis.
It is worth noting that the previous plan was developed with data from 2015 and
since, the UGA has been vastly expanded, demands have increased and land
uses changed. The cumulative effect of these changes have triggered the need
to develop an amendment in the most immediate term, with a formal update
following.
City Staff determined RH2 Engineering, Inc., to be a qualified consultant to
perform the required elements for integration into the WSP.
Staff recommends approval of the PSA with RH2 Engineering, Inc. in the
amount of $427,000.00. The updated WSP will be completed and submitted to
DOH by the March 2027, deadline.

Scope of Work
City of Pasco
Water System Plan Amendment
March 2024
Background
This Scope of Work includes tasks to prepare an early action (Phase 1) amendment to update the
City of Pasco (City) Water System Plan (WSP) and evaluate the ability of the water system to meet
the needs of existing and projected future water system customers throughout the 20-year planning
period. Based on the current planning requirements of Washin gton Administrative Code (WAC)
Chapter 246-290, the City WSP must be updated every 10 years with the current plan expiring on
March 21, 2027. WAC 246-290-100 (11) indicates that an amendment may be submitted to the
Washington State Department of Health (DOH) for approval at any time, but an amendment does
not alter the approval period and a complete update will be required by the expiration date. Phase
2 is a future phase that will incorporate additional years of data and projections together with the
Regional Water Forecast and Conservation Plan (RWFCP) needed for a full 10-year plan approval near
the time when the current plan expires.
The Quad-City Water Right (QCWR) was developed with the expectation that all four Cities, (Pasco,
Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland) would coordinate their plans from a scheduling perspective
with the RWFCP. The Cities share the QCWR issued under Surface Water Permit No. S4 -30976P on
September 15, 2003. The RWFCP is scheduled to be updated in 2026 in advance of the WSP required

To allow the project to move forward expeditiously into construction, the scope
of work was broken into four phases, each of them packaged into a set of bid
documents and treated as an individual construction contract.
Phase 1 includes six bore trench crossings and casings to be installed.
Three of them are underneath the BNSF railroad, two underneath N
Glade Road, and one underneath N Railroad Avenue (In Construction).
Phase 2 includes installing gravity sewer from the North end of the UGA
east to N Glade Road then running South along N Glade Road to the
future lift station. (Construction Acceptance).
Phase 3 includes a Lift station at the corner of N Glade Road and Burns
Road extended, as well as a set of force mains for the connection of the
proposed system to the existing gravity collection system along Foster
Wells Road and Capital Avenue, and Foster Wells Road and Industrial
Way. (In Construction).
Phase 4 accounts for the remainder of the gravity sewer trunk mains
serving the properties west of the lift station (west of North Glade Road).
(In Construction).

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Engineer’s Construction Estimate $45,488,837.00
Awarded Construction Contract Amount $31,588,246.92
Previously Approved Change Order No. 1 $31,528.58
Change Order No. 2 $250,834.55
New Contract Total $31,870,610.04
The proposed change order can be accommodated within the project budget,
and is funded through a State Revolving Fund low interest loan awarded to the
project by Washington State Department of Ecology.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On August 21, 2023, Council adopted Resolution No. 4369, which awarded the
construction contract for the Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) Phase 2 –
Winter Storage project to Tapani, Inc. of Battle Ground, Washington, in the
amount of $31,588,246.92, including Franklin County sales tax.
Page 49 of 70
The project provides for the construction of three new process water winter
storage ponds with an approximate combined capacity of 330 million gallons.
The storage ponds and associated infrastructure are being constructed on the
north 80-acre parcel adjacent to the existing PWRF site.
Previously approved Change Order (CO) No. 1 provided for the construction
and installation of twenty-one (21) artificial owl burrows to comply with federal
funding and environmental mitigation requirements. Tapani, Inc. has since
completed this work with CO No. 1 is under the authority delegated to the
Public Works Director. The funding agreement agreement includes a change
order allowance specifically negotiated to incorporate costs for this mitigation
effort.
V. DISCUSSION:
Additional change proposal requests (CPRs) were identified, reviewed, and
subsequently packaged into proposed CO No. 2. These facilitate timely
construction progress for future increase in storage needs while maintaining
compliance the in requirements stipulated federal additional with funding
Ecology construction loan. The key changes proposed include:
Substitution of 48-inch pond drain gate valves necessary to comply with
American Iron and Steel (AIS) funding requirements.
Modified pond drain control structure and outlet for a complete and
functioning installation of approved pond outlet structure with sufficient
clearing for metering equipment.
Addition of manufacture recommended electrical junction box stand to
be installed in conjunction with the specified process water packaged lift
station to manage Condensate of Whey(COW) water.
A credit issued to install a textured High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
pond liner in lieu of the specified alternate liner product. The HDPE liner
material is specifically listed as a preferred choice for pond liners as
documented within the Ecology Orange Book, Chapter T7 – Lagoon and
Liner Design Guidelines. The specified liner, though more resistant to
puncture, was determined to be incompatible with newly established
testing requirements.
These itemized changes will constitute a second change order to the project in
the amount of $250,834.55 with an increase of 15 working days added to the
original contract time.
Staff recommends approval of CO No. 2 in the amount of $250,834.55 for the
PWRF - Phase 2 Winter Storage Pond project.
