Outlined below is our scope of work and estimated <br />fees to perform the siting study that includes: <br /> <br /> Evaluation of the existing and future water storage needs; <br /> Identification and analysis of potential storage locations; <br /> Analysis and recommendation of ground storage versus elevated storage; <br /> Water distribution system modeling for each of the potential sites; and <br /> Cost estimates for each alternative evaluated. <br /> <br />The American Water Works Association recommends that a City’s storage capacity be equal to its <br />average daily demands plus some additional storage for fire fighting at a minimum. To date, the City’s <br />average day demand has not exceeded its storage capacity; however, as the City develops, the City will <br />need to construct additional storage to adequately serve its residents. In this study, WSB will evaluate <br />several locations for water storage and will make a site recommendation based on the findings of the <br />study. This study will provide the City with the information necessary to begin the design and construction <br />of a storage tank and will allow the City to anticipate how the proposed storage will change the existing <br />water distributions system. <br /> <br />WSB’s project scope and proposed work plan as presented is based on our understanding of the project, <br />discussions with City staff, and experience on similar projects. The following are the major tasks that will <br />be performed in preparing the City’s water distribution system model. <br /> <br />Task 1: Project Management and Coordination <br />Project management is a key task included in each project undertaken by WSB. This task consists of <br />management and administration, project coordination, and overall communication with the City. Proper <br />completion of this task will help keep all affected parties routinely updated and informed reg arding project <br />issues, as well as keep the project on schedule and within budget. The proposed work plan will include up <br />to three meetings with the City as deemed necessary. Project milestone meetings may include: <br /> Preliminary site findings meeting; <br /> Draft review meeting; and <br /> City Council meeting <br />
