EXHIBIT 1 SCOPE OF WORK INDIAN RIVER COUNTY NORTH AND SOUTH COUNTY WATER TREATMENT PLANTS WELL/ WELLFIELD MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES Background The Indian River County (County) Department of Utility Services operates two reverse osmosis water treatment plants (WTP), which treat water supplied from the Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA). Raw water from the UFA is currently supplied to the North and South County WTPs from a total of nine supply wells (three at the North County WTP and six at the South County WTP). There is also a series of monitoring wells located at each WTP. Over the past eight years, the South County WTP wells have undergone two phases of substantial rehabilitation to replace piping, reconfigure the well heads, remove blockages in the open hole portion of the wells, refurbish pumps/motors, and replace instrumentation in order to improve productivity of the wells (measured as specific capacity) and increase operability through the addition of instrumentation not previously installed. During the rehabilitation, the wells were videotaped to identify potential physical obstructions that may have been contributing to the decreasing capacity of the wells. However, the North County WTP wells have not been videotaped or serviced since their installation in 1996. Additionally, none of the County's monitoring wells have received any significant maintenance in the past several years. In taking a pro -active approach, the County has requested the services of CDM to prepare a wellfield maintenance program for the nine UFA wells and all monitoring wells to include scheduling of maintenance activities over the next several years. The recommended maintenance activities and the scheduled intervals for those activities will also apply to the proposed six new UFA wells being constructed as part of the current North County WTP expansion project. Additionally, CDM will provide assistance in negotiating and executing a maintenance contract by piggy -backing the existing contract in place with another utility. The contractor will address any operational issues that arise with the production/ monitoring wells and provide oversight services for the identified maintenance activities over the life of the contract. Services to be provided under this authorization are provided below. SCOPE OF SERVICES CDM will perform the following task services. TASK 1.0 STRATEGY MEETING CDM will meet with County staff to establish the current operating condition of each well, identify operational issues that may exist for any/ all of the wells, and prioritize the need to rehabilitate the wells based on their condition. This information will be used to prepare the well maintenance program plan detailed in Task 2.0. A-1 jb1800.doc
