EXHIBIT #1 <br />Work Order Number 12 <br />South Oslo Rd Membrane Treatment Plant <br />Degasifier/Scrubber Blower Replacement <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />The existing degasifier blowers at the Oslo Road membrane water treatment plant are <br />experiencing reliability issues with frequent fan blade replacement. The existing blower <br />blades are constructed of coated steel and have experienced corrosion due to coating wear <br />exposing the steel blade tips to the high concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air <br />stream. The corrosion of the blades has led to vibration issues that have consistently <br />reduced the life of the blower bearings, motor bearings, and blower bases and Indian <br />River County Utilities is interested in replacing the existing blowers with blowers that are <br />equipped with FRP composite blades. <br />The scope of work consists of review of alternate blower types and manufacturers, <br />preparing drawings and specifications for blower replacement, observation of installation, <br />and witnessing start-up and testing of the new blowers. It is assumed that the blower <br />capacities (air flow and horsepower) will not change. A FDEP permit is not anticipated <br />to be required for the replacement of the blowers since it is considered maintenance and <br />is therefore not included within the scope below. <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />The following scope consists of blower replacement and implementation only at the <br />South Oslo Rd water treatment plant, which consists of the following tasks. <br />Task 1— Review Blower Types, Collect Information <br />Consultant will research other blower manufacturers with non -corrosive blower <br />materials, such as all fiberglass blower materials and request quotes for cost comparisons <br />to other type blowers. <br />Consultant will collect as -built information on the existing ductwork at Oslo Road <br />membrane water treatment plant that will need to be modified. It is assumed that <br />alternative blower manufacturers will not have matching inlet and outlet blower <br />dimensions to the existing blowers and that modification of the existing FRP ductwork <br />will be required. Consultant will review the blower configuration which will result in <br />minimal ductwork modifications. <br />Consultant will perform one site visit to collect dimensional data of the existing blower(s) <br />configuration. <br />K:\WPB_Civil\044572030 - IRCU Oncall\Oslo Degas Blower Replacement\Oslo WTP Degas Blower Rep 3.27.19.docx <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
