of Services will specifically address Phase 1; however, a more detailed account of each of the anticipated <br />Phases is provided below for informational purposes. <br />Phase 1— Preliminary Evaluation <br />Phase 1 will include: <br />1. Review of the previously completed Alternative Water Supply Master Plan (CDM, 2007). <br />2. Identification of stakeholders (utilities, interested parties/advisory committees/boards, real <br />estate brokers, consultants, local regulatory agencies, state agencies, etc.). <br />3. Site identification and evaluation (environmental due diligence including a field visit by <br />Consultant staff, existing/future land use, soil/hydrologic conditions, permitability review, <br />constructability review, access/proximity to potential sources, regulatory issues (operations and <br />maintenance implications, long-term ecological considerations, etc.)). <br />4. Primary and ancillary siting considerations (permitting, environmental impacts, ownership, land <br />acquisition obstacles, etc.). <br />S. Project benefits (stormwater improvement, potable water supply, aquifer recharge, recreation <br />components, etc.). <br />6. Indian River Lagoon impacts (diversion of stormwater, stormwater treatment, nutrient load <br />reduction/credits). <br />7. Drought impacts/considerations (general discussion on how drought conditions affect surface <br />water projects and the operational flexibility required to counter these impacts). <br />8. Development of long-term demand projections using existing future land use maps, <br />corresponding population densities, and available information from the Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (future phases will also rely on population projections available from University of <br />Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) and the Shimberg Center). <br />9. Reservoir sizing (utility only vs. utility and agricultural) — This task will require input from the <br />agricultural community to provide the demand for agricultural use (no services are included to <br />develop agricultural demand numbers). <br />10. A preliminary cost estimate for land acquisition, engineering costs, reservoir construction, <br />pipeline construction and general discussion on the range of typical costs for operations and <br />maintenance (O&M) associated with surface water treatment systems, and range of anticipated <br />capital costs for construction of the corresponding surface water treatment plant. <br />11. Preparation of a detailed summary report including discussion of all of the above items for use <br />in obtaining stakeholder input/buy-in and recommendations to move the project forward to <br />Phase 2. <br />Phase 2 — Modeling and Land Acquisition <br />Assuming that the evaluation performed in Phase 1 results in identification of a viable parcel or parcels <br />of land suitable for construction of the proposed reservoir, the proposed reservoir is technically and <br />A-2 <br />jj1429REV5 (2).doc.docx <br />104 <br />
