It is assumed that these improvements are considered major modifications to the treatment plant, however, no increase in plant capacity beyond 8 .57 mgd will be requested. A permit application fee of $2,000 applies to these improvements, of which Consultant will include this permit application fee in this Scope. Task 5 - Services During Construction In general, modifications to the existing membrane system and pumps as outlined herein will require coordination with Contractor and operations staff so as to minimize impacts to treatment plant production. Coordination of Contractors work should include taking only one treatment train down at a time, one feedwater pump down at one time, and one high service pump down at one time. The Consultant will provide construction phase services for these projects, consisting of shop drawing review, meeting attendance, testing performance of all existing membranes, developing a membrane loading plan, field observation, start up assistance, preparation of record drawings, and final certification of completion of the project. It is anticipated that the duration of construction phase will be seven (7) months and that on-site construction observations will be provided in proportion to the level of activity. Shop drawing submittals will be reviewed for conformance with the intent of the Contract Documents. Shop drawings will be submitted directly to the Consultant. The Consultant will review the submittals and return copies to the Contractor and Indian River County Utilities. The Consultant will coordinate and attend one ( 1 ) project status meeting per month for coordination and status updates of the project with the Contractor and Owner. The Consultant will provide observation of construction for the anticipated duration of the project described herein. The Consultant will also review pay requests and provide recommendations for payment to Indian River County Utilities based on progress of the work. One activity to be completed by the construction Contractor is installation of profiling valves on each membrane vessel . This will allow testing to occur that predicts membrane condition. The results of this testing will be used to identify the number of membranes that must be replaced and develop a membrane loading arrangement. Kimley-Horn staff will coordinate with the Contractor' s personnel during vessel profiling, analyze this data collected by Contractor, and develop the membrane loading arrangement which includes identifying the number of new membranes required. Observation and coordination with operations staff and contractor will be provided by a field engineer. Total observation time is anticipated to be approximately 240 hours. This is based on approximately 8 hours per week of field observations for seven months of activity. The Consultant's visits will be for the purpose of endeavoring to provide the Client a greater degree of confidence that the completed work of its Contractors will generally conform to the construction documents prepared by the Consultant. The Consultant neither guarantees the performance of Contractors, nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's failure to perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Work that the Consultant believes does not comply with the Contract Documents will be brought to the attention of Indian River County Utilities and the Contractor. The Consultant shall have no responsibility for any Contractor's means, methods, techniques, equipment choice and usage, sequence, schedule, safety programs, or safety practices, C:\M DM Files\South RO Plant Upgrades to Restore Capacity-rev9.doc Page 5
