EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work
City of Pasco
Wastewater Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Improvements
April 2015
Background
A large commercial customer is planning to connect to the City of Pasco's (City) wastewater collection
system on July 1, 2015. Due to the large volume and the characteristics of the wastewater generated by
this customer, the pH of the wastewater at the City's wastewater treatment plant (WWI?) will be
impacted. The City is proposing to add caustic soda to the wastewater to adjust the pH, and has already
purchased a 6,500 -gallon double -contained storage tank and a peristaltic metering pump for the caustic
soda.
The City has requested that RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) design improvements at the WWTP for the
City -purchased caustic soda storage and feed equipment.
Task 1— 60 -percent Design
Objective: Determine the caustic soda dose, concrete pad requirements of the caustic soda tank, size
the suction and discharge piping for the caustic soda metering pump, determine metering pump valve
board and discharge line appurtenances, and identify the electrical requirements for the caustic soda tank
heat trace tape and metering pump. Prepare 60 -percent construction plans of the improvements.
Approach:
1.1 Evaluate Existing Data, Site Walk-through, and Kick-off Meeting — Review data provided by
City, perform a walk-through of site, and attend a kick-off meeting to determine if additional
information is required. It is assumed that City WWTP, City Engineering, and City Building
Department personnel will attend the site walk-through and kick-off meeting.
1.2 Chemical System Calculations — Review operational data to calculate caustic soda dose, conduct
chemical feed and metering pump sizing calculations, and review/verify storage requirements.
Since this item is highly variable in nature, an initial allocation of eight (8) hours of a wastewater
treatment specialist's time has been included for this task. If acceptable dosing and sizing
calculations cannot be determined within this initial allocation, RH2 will coordinate with the City
to determine the next steps, which may include a scope amendment.
1.3 Structural Calculations — Perform structural calculations for the caustic soda storage tank
concrete pad and other appurtenances, and determine its seismic requirements.
1.4 Existing Plan Review and Base Map Creation — Incorporate existing site and utility plan data
into AutoCAD to create an existing site base map.
1.5 60 -percent Design Plans — Prepare preliminary utility, structural, mechanical, and electrical plans
and details.
1.6 60 -percent Design Meeting — Meet with City to review 60 -percent design at RH2's Richland,
WA, office.
