Subtask 4.3 Future and Pending Regulations <br />Summarize pending regulations and permits (currently drafted but not promulgated). For <br />example, there are several currently pending federal regulations governing groundwater and <br />distribution systems that should be considered before any facility upgrades (Emerging <br />Contaminants, Numeric Nutrient, Ground Water Rule, Total Coliform Rule, Water Treatment <br />Residuals, and Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule). <br />Subtask 4.4 Contact State and Federal Regulators <br />Review the regulatory and permitting summary through meetings with state/local regulators <br />and phone calls with federal regulators. These meetings/phone calls will not be extensive but <br />geared to understand regulators thinking on pending and future regulations. <br />Subtask 4.5 Technical Memorandum <br />The impact of current and future regulations to IRCDUS identified from Subtasks 5.1 through <br />5.4 will be summarized in a Technical Memorandum which will be submitted to IRCDUS for <br />review and comment. Three copies of the draft Technical Memorandum will be submitted to <br />IRCDUS for review. One copy of the draft Technical Memorandum will be provided in Portable <br />Document Format (PDF) on a CD. Comments received on the draft Technical Memorandum <br />will be incorporated into the Master Plan. <br />Task 5 Development of Construction Cost Estimates <br />Objective: Development of estimates of probable construction costs across all of IRCDUS 's asset classes, <br />to create an equitable assessment of costs for project comparisons and prioritization. <br />ATKINS will provide the following services related to development of a standardized method <br />for establishing estimates of probable construction costs: <br />ATKINS will review and summarize recent bid data collected by IRCDUS to initiate the <br />development of standardized costs for individual items typically associated with the <br />construction of reclaimed systems. These items will include, but may not be limited to, <br />excavation and backfill, pipeline materials and installation, valves, pump stations, storage <br />tanks, and ancillary items such as roadway repair and resurfacing. <br />ATKINS will review and summarize its own recent bid data (gathered from the region -Florida <br />and Georgia) in similar construction site environment and project types. <br />ATKINS will summarize the data obtained and reviewed in tabular form. The costs will be tied <br />to the date the Master Plan work is completed. The table will include bid item descriptions and <br />unit costs, along with any assumptions made in the development of the estimated costs. The <br />data will be tied to a regional index (either using ENR's adjusted construction cost index, or a <br />similar index) to allow for the escalation of costs for projects recommended in future capital <br />improvement plans (i.e. when looking at the master plans during the planning period, costs will <br />be able to be re -estimated closer to the actual date of implementation). The summary will also <br />include guidance regarding relative contingency levels/ranges for probable construction costs <br />(as projects progress from master planning to design and construction) as well as standardized <br />unit item classifications for typical collection and distribution system projects (i.e. standardized <br />form that resembles a bid tabulation).
