Work Order No . 1 ` ool
Scope of Services
Indian River County
Department of Utility Services
Reuse Feasibility Report
General
PBS &J (ENGINEER) has been providing water and wastewater consulting services to Indian River
County Department of Utility Services (County) under the April 6, 2004 Continuing Contract Agreement
for Professional Services . The County has requested that the ENGINEER provide engineering services in
response to a FDEP comment requiring submittal of a Reuse Feasibility Study for permit renewal of the
West Regional WWTF .
The FDEP Guidelines require that Reuse Feasibility Studies include the following components :
• Description of Existing Conditions
• Description of Future Conditions
0 Description of Alternatives Considered — At a minimum, the alternatives must include No Action,
Public Access Reuse (PAR) , and Other Reuse . The PAR alternative can be subdivided into
Maximum, Medium, and Minimum levels of reuse depending on the percent of the total projected
WRF flow that is reused on an annual average basis .
• Evaluation of Alternatives — Evaluation must include a present value analysis , an evaluation of
the impact of each alternative on the utility ' s rates and fees , technical feasibility, and
environmental assessment .
• Recommended Alternative
The County currently operates an interconnected distribution system for beneficial use and disposal of
reclaimed water from three County WWTFs . Reuse methods currently in use by the County include
primarily golf course irrigation, WWTF site irrigation, wetlands enhancement, and rapid infiltration
basins (RIBs) , however, RIBS are utilized as an emergency back-up and are not an active reuse disposal
method. The West Regional WWTF has effluent disposal to the following :
• R001 — Manmade Wetlands
• R002 — PAR to golf courses and onsite irrigation
• R003 — Onsite RIBs
• D001 — Surface water discharge to the Lateral "D" Canal
According to FDEP guidelines , if a maximum level of reuse is being proposed, an abbreviated report is
allowed in place of a full Reuse Feasibility Study. Currently, this could be considered to be
the
circumstance because the County sends the majority of its reclaimed water to the reuse system, RIBs are
used as back-up disposal , and agricultural users utilize water from the Lateral "D" Canal for irrigation .
Also required in order to submit an abbreviated report, the County must show that a plan is in place to
continue to provide the maximum level of reuse . The County recently updated the Reclaimed Water and
Effluent Disposal section of the Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Master Plan Update (Master
Plan) . In this section, County staff evaluated disposal needs, identified future reuse sites , developed and
ran hydraulic models , and estimated cost.

Under Work Order No . I . the ENGINEER will prepare an abbreviated Reuse Feasibility Report according
to the following scope of services .
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 — Feasibility Assessment
The Engineer will develop a Reuse Feasibility Report based on the assumption that the County ' s update
of the Reclaimed Water and Effluent Disposal section of the Master Plan is considered to be maximum
level of reuse by FDEP . According to FDEP guidelines , if a maximum level of reuse is being proposed,
an abbreviated report is allowed. The abbreviated Reuse Feasibility Report will include the existing and
future customers and projects required to provide maximum reuse , as identified in the Reclaimed Water
and Effluent Disposal section of the Master Plan . The Engineer will review plant flow data and the
following aspects of the Reclaimed Water and Effluent Disposal section with the County :
• Existing customers
• Future potential customers
• Reuse capacity
• Water balance
• Hydraulic modeling
• Recommendations
• Capital cost estimates .
The Engineer will develop a spreadsheet-based water balance based on the recommendations in the
Reclaimed Water and Effluent Disposal section of the Master Plan . This task includes one meeting with
County staff.
The County will provide PBS&J the following data for completion of this task:
• Discharge monitoring reports for the previous 12 -month period
• Existing reuse distribution system mapping
Task 2 — Report Preparation
A brief update report will be prepared for County submittal to FDEP as part of the permit renewal
process . The Engineer will provide the County with three draft copies of the report for review and five
final copies that incorporate County comments . This task includes accompanying the County to one
meeting with FDEP .
