Texas 78759 512 345 -5591, Fax: 512 3454453 When we budgeted for the raw water line during the contract negotiations stage, the scope of the raw water line design project was from Lake Georgetown to the water treatment plant, using the plans developed by Haynie and Kallman, Inc., in 1990 as a reference. On those plans, the raw water line is shown as terminating near the plant entrance gate. After we started working on the project, we were directed to continue the new water line into the water treatment plant and design a new flow inter /flow control valve system to provide a redundant feed into the plant and increase flexibility of water feed into the plant. This became desirable because the existing flow control arrangement failed twice during the summer of 1994, causing the plant to be out of service. Developing the design and specifications for the additional 1,000 feet of pipe, the venturi flow meter, the flow control valve, and the reinforced concrete vault can be completed within the budget established for the existing job. However, developing the electrical and instrumentation design and specifications cannot be accomplished within our present budget. On October 12, 1994, Mr. Omar Naji visited the water treatment plant site and the electrical building at Lake Georgetown to develop a scope and budget for providing the electrical and instrumentation design. Mr. Naji has estimated that the electrical and instrumentation work would be completed using four drawings as listed below: 1. Process & instrumentation Diagram Drawing 2. Instrumentation Loop Diagrams 3. Electrical Site Plan, Vault Plan and Control Room Plan 4. One Line Diagram, MCC and Lighting Panel Modifications The cost to prepare the drawings and specifications for the electrical and instrumentation work is estimated to be $12,000.00.

Fax 512 345.1483 At the request of Mr. Steve Miller, we are transmitting a proposal to perform a water treatment plant evaluation on the City of Round Rock's existing water treatment plant. The proposal was prepared after visits to the existing plant, discussions with Mr. Steve Miller and Mr. Bruce Levens, and after preparation of preliminary calculations on the existing plant's capacity. The existing treatment plant is rated at 18 MGD, but this summer, during high water use days, the plant was having difficulty treating 15 MGD. As the City continues to grow, and its potable water demands also grow, it is vitally important that the existing water treatment plant be able to produce a minimum 18 MGD. Therefore, there are two purposes of the plant evaluation: 1. to determine what improvements are necessary to allow the plant to comfortably operate at a max day rate of 18 MGD; and 2. to evaluate the existing operations of the plant and make recommendations that would improve the water quality while streamlining the existing operations. In order to prepare this type of evaluation, data collection and data analysis in excess of what has been already been done is required. The proposal describes this work effort which would be directed by Mr. Danny Shannon. Mr, Shannon is a senior engineer with CDM and has directed similar work efforts for the City of Fort Worth and the City of Austin. Mr. Shannon would be assisted by Mr. Greg Swoboda, a professional engineer located in our Austin office who has assisted Mr. Shannon with his work at the City of Austin's Ullrieh Water Treatment Plant. The scope of the study is detailed in the attached proposal as well as the man hours scheduled for both Mr. Shannon and Mr. Swoboda. 11/09/94 . 09:26 ROUND ROCK PUBLIC WORKS -. 5122556676 Mr. Steve Miller October 31, 1994 Page 2 The cost to prepare the plant evaluation is detailed in the proposal and totals $26,440.00.

The schedule of the project would have the Plant Evaluation Report submitted by January 31, 1995 and the Operational Guidelines submitted by February 28, 1995. If you have any questions during your review of the proposal please call me and I will pass those questions on to Mr. Shannon. Sincerely, CAMP DRESSER & MCKEE INC. Allen D. WoeIke, P.E.

(CDM) has performed a brief review of the Round Rock Water Treatment Plant to evaluate the existing hydraulic and treatment capacities. This review indicates that the plant is hydraulically limited to a maximum flow of about 15 mgd. The City has requested CDM to perform a more extensive study of the plant facilities to determine what modifications can be made to upgrade both the hydraulic and treatment capacities without expanding the number of clarifiers and filters. In addition, the City has asked CDM to provide on -site field assistance to work with the City operations staff in evaluating potential operational modifications to the plant which may assist in providing better treatment. This proposal separates the proposed work into three tasks: Study; Operational Assistance; and D ign. A synopsis of each task is presented below: 6 .0.6 Task 1 Study The first activity of Task 1 (activity 1.1) will be to conduct an on -site plant evaluation. CDM will review the current plant operations with the City staff to understand the operational philosophy. CDM will then conduct a review of existing treatment facilities to verify the actual field conditions in relation to the City's available construction drawings. The review will only be conducted for existing treatment facilities critical to conducting hydraulic and process evaluations. This will include field verification of various structure dimensions, elevations of control weirs and gates, arrangement of equipment, piping, and valves, and other items which may be different than as shown on the plans. CDM will also survey the existing equipment and develop an inventory list to include the sizes, capacities, and condition of equipment. The second activity (activity 1.2) will be to perform a hydraulic evaluation of the plant facilities based upon the existing plans and the data obtained from activity 1.1. CDM will develop a hydraulic model of the existing facilities and verify the model at the plant by measuring various water levels throughout the plant. We will then determine what improvements are needed at the plant to increase the hydraulic capacity to various flow rates. These proposed modifications will be input into the model to determine the theoretical effect on the overall hydraulics at various flow rates.

CDM will concentrate primarily on mixing, flocculation and clarification, and filtration. The culmination of the study phase of the project will be a report presenting the evaluations performed and making recominendations for expanding the plant capacity. Preliminary drawings and cost estimates will be provided. Task 2 - Operational Assistance Under activity 2.1 CDM will provide on -site assistance to the plant operations staff to conduct various field studies and evaluations to improve the plant's process and treatment performance. Such items which may be evaluated include alternative polymer additions and locations, mixing alternatives, filter backwash procedures, filter backwash operations, and other ideas which may be developed by CDM and City staff. CDM will provide 40 hours of on -site assistance for this activity. Based upon the studies conducted under activity 2.1 and the results and findings from Task 1, CDM, with input from City staff, will develop a set of operational guidelines to assist the plant staff in the day -to -day operation of the plant.

STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Jim Nuse STAFF RECOMMENDATION: During peak usage at the water treatment plant, some processes were stressed when producing the maximum rated output. Staff is requesting that Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. be hired to explore the operation and recommend improvements to our production process. This Is a complex task due to the nature of the water treatment process. We believe that CDM has the expertise to do this important engineering service. Additionally, due to three major breaks in the raw water line this year, staff feels it is prudent to extend the raw water line all of the way to the plant itself instead of tying Into existing lines inside the facility fence. This would provide us with a completely separate /dual water delivery system.
