Scope of Work
City of Pasco
West Pasco Water Treatment Plant 12 MGD Expansion
Phase II Design
September 2021
Background
The City of Pasco (City) is growing rapidly, and its potable water demands are increasing with
population growth and local industries. The City has two water treatment plants on opposite ends of
its distribution system. While these plants can accommodate current and short-term peak demands
together, individual plant capacity must increase to meet the City's 20 -year planning projection. The
West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) was designed to accommodate equipment expansion
within the facility, and this is a cost-effective way for the City to handle growth.
Phase I of the WPWTP Expansion consisted of the design of the treatment plant to increase capacity
from 6 million gallons per day (MGD) to 12 MGD. The design included installation of additional
strainers and membrane filtration units, filter -to -waste capabilities, a process residuals treatment
and recycling system, and various plant operational improvements. Phase II is proposed to include
adding pumping capacity and electrical power redundancy by adding one pump at the Intake Pump
Station (IPS), adding a booster pump station (BPS) with additional Zone 3 pumps, adding a solids
drying bed, converting the existing WPWTP backup generator to backup power for the IPS, and
adding a new 2 -megawatt generator dedicated to the WPWTP. In the last phase of improvements,
Phase III (installing one additional IPS pump and at least one Zone 3 pump), the City will have the
infrastructure in place to proceed with the full buildout of the WPWTP to a capacity of 18 MGD.
This Scope of Work pertains to the design and permitting for Phase II Improvements.
Phase 11:
• Task 1— Design
• Task 2 — Permitting
• Task 3 — Project Administration and Management

Objective: Assist the City in obtaining permits to address environmental, site, building code, and
Washington State Department of Health (DOH) requirements. The following permits/approvals are
expected based on RH2's experience with Phase I permitting and current understanding:
• DOH Project Report.
• DOH Construction Documents Review.
• DOH Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Environmental Compliance Support.
• City of Pasco Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SSDP).
• City of Pasco Site Development Permit (SDP).
• City of Pasco Building Permit.
Approach:
2.1 Prepare and Submit Proiect Report to DOH: Prepare DOH Project Report and accompanying
application. Provide draft to the City for review and comment. Revise Project Report and
application to address City comments. Submit the final Project Report to DOH. Compose a letter
responding to review comments from DOH, if necessary.
2.2 Prepare and Submit Construction Documents to DOH: Prepare application with construction
documents for DOH. Provide draft application package to the City for review and comment.
Revise to address City comments. Submit the finalized construction documents to DOH.
Compose a letter responding to review comments from DOH, if necessary.
2.3 Support DWSRF Funding Environmental Compliance: Provide up to twenty (20) hours of support
time to the City during environmental compliance documentation for DWSRF funding. The City
is presently working with DOH on environmental and cultural compliance documentation for
Phase I improvements. The project State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Cultural
Resources Survey (CRS), prepared by RH2 and Cultural Resource Consultants, LLC, (CRC),
respectively, in spring 2021 are anticipated to cover improvements for Phases II and III as well.
This subtask is scoped conservatively to support the City, as needed, in meeting anticipated
Phase 11 funding requirements.
2.4 Attend Pre -Application Meeting: Prepare for and attend City's pre -application meeting to
discuss Phase II improvements, confirm anticipated local project permits, and discuss submittal
processes. It is assumed up to three (3) RH2 staff will attend the pre -application meeting along
with City project staff.
2.5 Prepare and Submit SSDP Application: Prepare SSDP application, including site plans. Provide
draft application to the City for review and comment. Revise the SSDP application based on City

Scope of Work
2.6 Prepare and Submit City SDP: Prepare application for SDP submittal based on the 90 -percent
design stage. Provide draft application to the City for review and comment. Revise with City
comments and submit to City Planning staff for review. Respond to one (1) resubmittal request,
as needed.
2.7 Prepare and Submit City Building Permit: Prepare application for Building Permit submittal
based on the 90 -percent design stage. Develop energy code calculations. Prepare and submit
the structural calculations performed in the previous tasks for Building Permit submittal.
Provide draft application to the City for review and comment. Revise with City comments and
submit to City Building staff for review. Respond to one (1) resubmittal request, as needed.
2.$ Provide Other Permitting Coordination: Provide up to twenty (20) hours of support to the City
during permitting reviews/approvals, as requested. Provide up to four (4) sets of design
documents to the City for permitting applications.
Assumptions:
• The City will be the applicant for permit applications and RH2 will act as the City's agent.
• The City will pay all permit fees.
• Acceptance of permit submittals is beyond the control of RH2 and the City, and no date is
warranted or implied for DOH response or acceptance.
• There will be only one (1) round of review comments from DOH for each submittal.
• There will only be one (1) round of review comments from the City for SDP or Building Permit
materials.
• No Washington State Department of Ecology National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permits are necessary.
• Right -of -Way permits, if determined to be needed for construction, will be applied for and
obtained by the City directly.
• The SEPA prepared and processed in spring through summer 2021 addresses Phase 11
improvements, a new SEPA Checklist will not be warranted and has not been scoped.
• The CRS prepared and processed in spring through fa112021 addresses Phase II improvements;
a new or amended CRS will not be needed and has not been scoped.
• Although the improvements at the IPS are minor in nature, they will be considered
development and not repair or replacement for the purposes of Shoreline Master Program
compliance. Consequently, RH2 has scoped a SSDP. If the City determines the project can apply
for SSDP exemption, the effort involved in subtask 2.5 can be reduced to facilitate exemption
request and City processing instead.
• No federal permitting, approvals, or coordination is needed for the project.
