EXHIBIT A
Scope of Work
City of Pasco
Process Water Reuse Facility Pretreatment Improvements Project
Phase 1: Potable Water & Electrical Improvements
July 2021
Background
The City of Pasco (City) has requested that RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) design a 16 -inch water main
extension and associated appurtenances from near East Foster Wells Road and Capital to the Process
Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) for potable supplies and fire protection. The work will include details to
underground the primary distribution powerline owned and operated by Public Utility District No. 1
of Franklin County (FPUD) in the easement north from East Foster Wells Road concurrently with the
water main construction.
Tasks to complete this project are outlined in this Scope of Work.
Task 1— Project Management Services
Objective: Manage RI -12's project team and maintain frequent client communications. Maintain
project schedules and prepare monthly invoices and budget status summaries.
Approach:
1.1 Provide direction, coordination, and oversight to the RH2 project team. Organize, manage, and
coordinate technical disciplines as described herein, and implement quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) reviews to execute this Scope of Work in close coordination with City
staff.
1.2 Document and retain information generated during the execution of the project.
1.3 Prepare monthly invoices and budget status summaries.
1.4 Create, maintain, and update a project design schedule. Monitor, modify, and update the
project schedule throughout the design phase to determine potential impacts of proposed
changes. Adjust the schedule to reflect the current status of the project and revisions made to
this Scope of Work.
RH2 Deliverables:
• Monthly invoices and budget status summaries in electronic PDF.
• Project schedule updates in electronic PDF.

Task 2 — Subsurface Investigation and Preliminary Water Design
Objective: Obtain existing site information from available as -built drawings provided by the City.
Obtain subsurface data relevant to this project. Analyze water main size and develop cost estimates
for the water main replacement construction.
Approach:
2.1 Confirm the proposed connection points to the City's water system for the project based on
as -built information.
2.2 Review available construction records, asphalt coring logs, as -built information, and potholes.
2.3 Coordinate with City staff and a subconsultant to RH2 to perform a geotechnical investigation,
coring, and potholing along the proposed alignment to assess soils and groundwater conditions.
This subtask assumes up to thirty (30) potholing and coring locations; potholes will be
approximately 10 feet deep, and cores will be approximately 5 feet deep.
2.4 Perform a visual observation of the site to confirm the interfering utility data obtained from the
City to the degree possible by surface observation. Collect additional site data relating to the
interfering utilities.
2.5 Provide up to ten (10) hours of RH2 staff time to perform desktop investigations to assist with
determining permitting requirements for any utility relocations required for the project.
2.6 Provide an analysis of proposed water main size (16 inches versus 12 inches), including hydraulic
modeling. Approximately eight (8) hours of RH2 staff time are anticipated for modeling.
2.7 Prepare a technical memorandum summarizing the coring and potholing results and
recommendations and water main size recommendation.
2.8 Attend one (1) meeting with City staff to review findings, receive staff comments, and confirm
the extents of the improvements. Prepare meeting agenda and minutes.
Assumptions:
• RH2 will rely upon the accuracy and completeness of information, data, and materials
generated or produced by the City, FPUD, or others in relation to this Scope of Work.
• It is assumed that the water main replacement construction will be done in the right-of-way
(RDW) or within a defined easement with existing utilities on both sides; therefore, there is no
need to research or provide services for easement acquisitions.
• It is assumed that no utilities with cathodic protection are present in the vicinity of the
proposed alignment.
• Meetings are assumed to take place at the City's public works and engineering offices but may
take place virtually depending on health and safety protocols in effect at the time of the
meeting. The City and RH2 will mutually agree on the meeting format.
City of Pasco
Process Water Reuse Facility Pretreatment Improvements Project Exhibit A
Phase 1: Potable Water & Electrical Improvements Scope of Work
Provided by the City:
• Construction and as -built records, as available, for the water main alignment.
• Previous geotechnical investigation reports and construction photos in the area.
• Attendance at one (1) meeting to review findings, confirm extents of improvements, and
provide comments.
RH2 Deliverables:
• Technical memorandum summarizing the geotechnical recommendations and pipeline
material selection in electronic PDF format.
• Water main size analysis, including hydraulic modeling.
• Attendance at one (1) meeting to review findings, confirm extents of improvements, and
discuss City staff comments. Meeting agenda and minutes in electronic PDF format.
Task 3 — Supplemental Survey Information
Objective: Coordinate with a local professional land surveyor as a subconsultant to RH2 to provide
the vertical and horizontal control and supplemental topographical mapping necessary for design of
the water main and powerline extensions.
Approach:
3.1 Coordinate with the City to obtain the CAD file from the Columbia force main project that used
the same topography and boundary files.
3.2 Format survey data for use in this project. Create base map for project design using RH2
standards.
3.3 Coordinate with a surveyor to obtain additional subsurface utility information to supplement
the survey data from the Columbia force main project. Coordinate with City staff to provide
utility potholing to determine utility depths. Incorporate findings into the plans.
Assumptions:
• Survey provided from the Columbia force main project includes topography for full ROW width
and boundary files for the extent of the project. A complete design survey will not be necessary
for this project. Instead, supplemental survey data along the proposed project alignment will
be obtained by the survey subconsultant.
Provided by the City:
• Markings of existing utilities.
RH2 Deliverables:
• Base map for design documents.
