I am fearful your Broadband and Telecommunications Commission may have fallen victim to this principle during our meeting today. We have "prioritized" for you a list of areas of concern, or specific items, that might be considered "conditions" in the event you choose to approve the sale of the cable system from Hawk.eye to Heritage. Most of them involve matters Heritage has already agreed to. and have little economic significance. In preparing and presenting the list we have simply avoided -- with all the grace of a skillful ski jumper -- the most significant issues before our community at this time -- at least from my perspective. It was my hope we could prepare two lists for you: one highlighting the most significant issues you have to resolve, and the other listing the relatively lesser items we did present to you. Unfortunately, time ran out. That is why I am using this means of bringing them to your attention. They are listed in no particular order. 1. Impact of Federal Legislation. You should be expressly and clearly aware that the cable industry (one of who's members seeks the Iowa City franchise) is vigorously lobbying in Washington for the right to render null and void any provisions of past or future contracts or municipal ordinances that might impede its profit—malting ability. It is, for example, endeavoring to undercut our ability to I 9 regulate the rates charged by this monopoly to Iowa City residents. It seeks the right of virtual automatic franchise renewal at the end of the term. It is this open, unabashed greed and unwillingness to accept conventional principles of Anglo-American jurisprudence that is perhaps the strongest argument for Iowa City now following the path of comparable academic communities around the country and going for a form of cooperative or other public ownership that will guarantee us some measure of local control. Talk of "conditions" and franchise provisions is either naive or fraudulent when dealing with an industry that is doing its very best to avoid having to honor them. 2 "State of the Art." The current franchise provides that Iowa City is to be served with a "state-of-the-art" cable system. Past and current BTCs have not seen fit to endorse this franchise position. Presumably no one would argue that our 1979 system is "state-of-the-art" in 1984. We have, essentially, a thirty-five channel, one-way system. There are now fifty and one -hundred channel, two-way systems. Cable can serve a fire and burglar alarm function -- with reductions in home insurance rates up to fifty percent. It can provide home banking and shopping and two-way computer interconnection. What more logical time than when changing the operators of the franchise to at least address these issues? what features do we want in Iowa City? By when? To fail to address the issue is itself a decision: a decision that the new operator will be permitted to tale a 1979 system and continue to depreciate it well into the 1990's without ever incurring a legal obligation to do anything more than suck the money out of Iowa City. :,. The Price Tag. Precise numbers are not available to me, but these are ballpark. Haw{;eye's current property in Iowa City -- without an operating franchise -- is worth { less than $1.000,000. To build an entirely new (and updated) system in Iowa City might cost $3-5.oO0,0(sO. The price tag being placed on the system is in excess of $11,000,000. Whether or not we adopt "rate of return on rate base" formulae in calculating appropriate rates for the cable company to charge, it has an inevitable impact. Note, first of all, that we could build a totally new and updated system to be locally owned and operated for less thanpleaone half of what the new owner proposes to pay. consider that by doubling the price we are, in effect, ultimately doubling the rates to be paid by Iowa City subscribers. Where does the extra $10.000.000 come from? It comes from the franchise, the priviledge to do business, which we the people of Iowa City have granted. Why should that be a rationale for doubling local rates? Might it be possible, for example, to provide in the franchise that rates will be ascertained based upon the cost of construction of a new system (or the depreciated value of the current system) rather than simply permit, by ItO 6 failure to address the issue, a doubling in the rate base? 4. Reversion. You should be aware that all but one of your current and known past PTC commissioners believe that cooperative or municipal ownership is the theoretical ideal. Some expressed the hope that that structure may be accomplished when the current franchise ends. They see private ownership as, at best, a pragmatic necessity at the present time. You are, of course, free to ignore that overwhelming collective judgement, but to the extent you find it persuasive, now is the time to address the issue. If the industry is successful in obtaining legislation guaranteeing virtually automatic franchise renewals at the end of the term, there will be little way of bringing it about at that time. One way of doing so would be to provide in a condition of the sale, not that the issue will be addressed in the future, but that the ownership will, in fact, revert to the city at the end of the franchise. Such a condition would, of course, affect what a company would be willing to pay for the system (and would therefore need to charge consumers in monthly rates) but given the industry's tactics in Washington, it may be the only remaining effective self-defense available to us. 5. Anti -Trust, Other Bidders, and Competitive Systems. We all loot: to be careful to comply with the spirit as well as the letter of the anti-trust laws and not perpetuate a monopoly in Iowa City. Should we, for example, consider inviting other bidders to propose the kinds of services they would offer and rates they would charge? Should we give more serious consideration to the possibility of competitive systems operating side-by-side in Iowa City -- either privately owned or cooperatively or municipally owned? I don't have the sense those options have been fully explored. 6. Tiered Service. Iowa City has what might be thought of as two -tiers of cable service: for $8.95 a customer gets all except two channels. HPO and Cinemax are available for additional monthly fees greater than those for all of the other channels combined. The FCC says a city can only regulate the first basic tier -- which, however, it then goes on to define as consisting only of the community access channels and the off -air -stations the system is required by law to carry. So I disagree with my three colleagues on the BTC as to the desirability of our continuing with a two-tiered approach. We gain nothing from such an insistence, and we lose a great deal. Namely, other communities have provided that cable service would be available to all residents for free or for monthly charges more like $2.95 than $8.95. We could even provide that every home would have to be wired for a free service. This would not only make it possible for all citizens to see the city council meetings and other local community programming, but also make city-wide reductions in home -owners insurance 117 possible with burglar and fire alarm services. The profit advantage to the system operator is, quite simply, that no sales can be made in a home that is not wired at all. No pay services (like HBO and Cinemax) can be sold in a home that is not wired at all. It also means that the company's total income may increase, as the charge to those who wish to pay for all the potential tiers of service (grouped collections of channels, like ESPN, CNN, and so forth) would therefore have to be somewhat more than the current basic fee. But the "free market" advantage to consumers is a greater ability to control just how much television one purchases, with options for cable services at significantly lower rates than the current basic fee. This is by no means an exhaustive discussion of all the issues I believe the City Council and RTC need to address at this time, but it is at least illustrative and I hope will be useful to you when you consider the matter along with our recommendations prioritizing "conditions" for a new franchise operator. 1117 City of Iowa Cii -v' = MEMORANDUM Date: June 11, 1984 To: City Council From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager Re: Transfer of Cable Television Franchise - Sale to Heritage Communica- tions, Inc. Attached please find a copy of a memorandum from Nicholas Johnson, regarding the above -referenced matter. Council was made aware that this document was being prepared and requested that it be forwarded to you prior to making a final decision on the prioritization of conditions for approval of the sale of the local Cable T.V. franchise. Mr. Johnson's memo raises six issues. Where possible and appropriate, we have provided an estimated cost to the cable company for those which would require a capital investment. These would include: Item number 2. "State of the Art." An upgrade from the current 35 channel cable system to a 42 or more channel system would cost $1500 to $2000 a mile. The Iowa City system by itself, excluding Coralville and University Heights, contains approximately 160 miles of plant, so the cost could be from $240,000 to $320,000. Coralville and University Heights have about 40 miles of plant. New converter boxes would also need to be purchased. Upgrading the current one-way system to a two-way would cost approximately $1000 per mile or about $160,000 for the Iowa City system. • There would be additional costs associated with actual applications of the two-way system, depending on the nature of the use. Enabling fire and burglar alarm services to be offered as well as home shopping and banking would require an addressable home terminal and a central computer. The home terminals vary considerably in cost from $100 up, depending upon sophistication. Several central computer and software packages needed for the operation of such services start at about $50,000. While these services are still considered quite new and experimental, there are some cable systems offering them. Item number 6. Tiered Service. This would require addressable converters for the subscriber and a central head end processing equipment package. The addressable converters would cost approximately $70 per converter times the 10,500 subscribers in Iowa City for a total of $735,000. Coralville and University Heights would add an additional 2500 subscribers. . 1�1-7 2 Please note that some of the issues raised by Mr. Johnson are also addressed in, or impacted by, the recent compromise on HR4103 which is expected to be passed by Congress this summer. Staff will take the considerations raised by Mr. Johnson into account, to the extent that they are consistent with the 11 priority conditions established by the Commission and endorsed by the Council, when drafting franchise amendments. If Council wishes to establish additional priorities or to revise the 11 previously discussed priorities, this should be decided at your June 18 informal meeting. Staff and representatives from the Broadband Telecommunications Commission will be present to answer your questions at that time. 0 cc: Broadband Telecommunications Commission FL E. &Q JUNI 1984 ..� / %`�' Sl�i�✓ A4- /9g44 CLERK c 0-67 .

Rezoning of two one -acre tracts north of I-80 and east of Highway 1 The County has received an application for the rezoning of two one -acre tracts located approximately one mile north and one mile east of the intersection of I-80 and Highway 1 from Al to RS. The property is located within Area 4 of the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Agree- ment. The policy for Area 4 states that "residential development should be discouraged, and encouraged to take place in Area 3 and other parts of the County zoned for residential development. Agricultural use is the preferred use in Area 4. Residential uses for farm family purposes will be considered depending on soil and site conditions." The site in question is currently used for pasture land, and the proposed residential use is not for farm family purposes. The proposed rezoning does not conform with this policy statement, and staff, therefore, recommends that the City recommend the denial of this application. ATTACHMENTS 1. Location map 2.

Knight, Associate Planner Z-8412. Rezoning of 22.1 acres one mile southwest of Iowa City on the south side of Highway 1 An application has- been filed with Johnson County for the rezoning of a 22.1 acre tract from RS and R1A to CPI and CP2, planned commercial zoning. The property is located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Highway 1 and realigned Highway 218 (see attached location map) and is contained within the boundary of Area -B of the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Agreement. The Area 8 policy provides that "develop- ment ... will consist primarily of commercial and light industrial uses subject to certain standards. Any development which may occur will be consistent with the Airport Overlay Zone." Under CP1 and CP2 zoning in Johnson County, a site plan review by the Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors is required prior to issuance of a building permit. As part of this review, several design standards and performance standards must be met. The purpose of these standards is to insure adequate provision of necessary services and compatibility between adjoining land uses. A copy of the standards are attached. Also, upon the adoption of the Johnson County/Iowa City Airport Zoning Ordinance, the request area will be located within the boundaries of the transitional overlay zone and would be subject to the height limitations of that zone. The Airport Zoning Commission has forwarded the ordinance to the City Council and Board of Supervisors for their action, and adoption of the ordinance is expected in the near future. It does not appear, therefore, that this will be a problem for this application. Staff finds that the proposed rezoning to planned commercial (CP1 and CP2) is consistent with the Ar icy statement and, therefore, recommends that the City endorse the appr 1 of s p osed zoning.

PARSONS Worldwide Engineers/Constructors 64 THE PARSONS CORPORATION WO,Idwlde Engineers1ConstmVo7s 100 WEST WALNUT STREET PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 9I124 12131440.2000 Telex WH: 875.338 City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Attn: City Clerk Gentlemen: May 22, 1984 The Parsons Corporation on behalf of itself, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and affiliates is pleased to submit its proposal for the alternative study for the Iowa City (the City) wastewater program in -response to your request for proposals (RFP) dated April 10, 1984. Our submittal also includes an optional proprietary proposal for the priva- tization of the facilities including evaluation, design, financing, construction and operation of the wastewater collection and treatment facilities using a professional services approach. Section 1 of our proposal addresses each item requested in your evaluation questionnaire relating to the alternatives evaluation and is submitted in accordance with your page limitation. Section 2 provides our optional privatization proposal. Section 2 contains proprietary business information. It may be used by the City of Iowa City and its advisors for purposes of bid evaluation only. Any other use or disclosure is strictly prohibited. The key elements of our privatization proposal are as follows: 1. Parsons, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Engineering - Science (ES), is a world leader in municipal wastewater facil- ities engineering and construction and furnishes outstanding capabilities for providing the evaluation of alternatives and all other engineering, construction phase services and treatment plant operation services. These services are applicable whether the project is privatized or conventionally financed. 2. Parsons' subsidiary, Engineering -Science, will review the alter- natives and design of the facilities for such matters as cost — effectiveness and performance and prepare any necessary detailed design modifications. 3. Prior to construction, a detailed estimate of the construction cost of the final design, including all modifications agreed j upon by the City and Parsons, will be prepared. The City may, — if it desires, have this estimate reviewed by a consultant of its choice to verify its accuracy. i jJ Ito r_ THE anwsoius City of Iowa City May 22, 1984 Page 2 4. Construction bids will be taken by Parsons from qualified, construction companies to obtain the most competitive construc- tion cost possible. The construction contract(s) will be awarded to the responsible bidder(s) submitting the most advan- tageous bid(s). S. Parsons will provide construction management, resident engineer- ing and inspection, as appropriate to expedite construction and minimize costs. 6. Parsons will provide operation and maintenance services for the facility. 7. Parsons will retain full own -and -operate responsibility through- out the life of the Service Contract. 8. The City will be given an option to purchase the facility at fair market value at the end of the contract term. 9. The Parsons Corporation will fully and unconditionally guarantee the performance of ES and any other Parsons unit providing services to the City. 10. Parsons, as a professional, full-service organization, will ~� provide single source responsibility for the engineering, con- struction, financing, ownership and operation of the facility in return for a service fee from the City. -I 11. Parsons is prepared to offer extremely attractive interest rates on borrowed capital during the construction phase of the pro- ject, resulting in further meaningful savings to the City. Our proposed approach is similar to that which we are successfully implementing at Chandler, Arizona, the nation's first wastewater treat- ment plant privatization project. Chandler is the only privatization project which is fully funded and under construction. This approach is J discussed in more detail in Section 2. We believe that Parsons is uniquely qualified to undertake this project for the following reasons: 1. The Parsons organization, notably its Engineering -Science sub- sidiary, has been a leader in municipal wastewater treatment, with almost 40 years' experience in all aspects of wastewater — facilities design, construction and operation. I(Q THE PARSONS CORPORATION 1 City of Iowa City f� May 22, 1984 Page 3 — 2. Parsons has gained unique experience in wastewater privatization through the Chandler, Arizona project, which entails con- structing, owning and operating a 5 mgd wastewater treatment plant for 25 years. Parsons has also been selected by the City of Auburn, Alabama for the privatization of two wastewater treatment plants and an extensive wastewater collection system. '- Indeed, Parsons has been awarded every privatization project which it has bid. J Li 3. Parsons has full capabilities in house including financial, engineering, construction management and operation. Parsons provides a single responsible company, unlike the divided re- sponsibility of joint ventures or consortiums. 4. Parsons is strong and financially stable. We can finance facil- ities of virtually any size. If desired the City could move ahead with their entire program without phasing. 5. Under proper circumstances, Parsons is prepared to warrant the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the facility. 6. Parsons can efficiently and effectively handle plant expansions and modifications regardless of size or complexity. 7. The Parsons approach has many advantages including: o Truly competitive construction bids are obtained to achieve the lowest possible construction cost for the facilities. o A thorough project review and, if necessary, modification of the design can be provided to assure cost effectiveness and reliable operation. If desired, the City and University of Iowa personnel can collaborate in this review. o A rapid schedule to bring the facilities into operation can be effected including, if desired, "fast track" methods. We request the opportunity to discuss our proposal with you in greater detail and answer any questions you many have. RMD:a1 Enclosures Very truly yours, THE PARSONS CORPORATION R. M.

NO. 1 The Project Team concept will be used for maximum efficiency. In this concept, a team of professional and support personnel is dedicated and assigned to the project, reporting directly to the Project Manager. The Project Team wSll have access to the entire staffs of ES and Parsons who have specialized expertise that might be required for various task _ assignments. _) The Project Team is comprised of individuals experienced in munici- pal wastewater treatment plant design, construction services, operations y and financial and legal disciplines. The Project Team was selected from the existing staffs of Engineering -Science and other units within The Parsons Corporation. Biographical information on each of these individ- uals, in support of their function on this project, is presented in response to questions one and two. For the entire privatization project including evaluation, design, construction and operations an organiza- tion chart which graphically illustrates how the Project Team will I - interact is presented in Section 2. Project Manager _ The most important individual on the Project Team is the Project Manager. He is in charge of the entire project and it is his function to assure that the work is properly planned, organized, controlled and executed. Mr. Michael A. Sweet is proposed for this critical position. His principal concern will be to assure that the work is done on time and within budget, and that it meets the high standards of quality demanded by Parsons and the City of Iowa City. In his role as Project Manager, Mr. Sweet will have the internal authority to establish work 1-1 OU PARSONS - priorities within the Project Team. We have made a commitment to pro- fr vide the required staff (on ,a full-time and/or part-time basis as neces- sary) to work under Mr. Sweet's supervision. Mr. Sweet's qualifications for managing this project are truly L. impressive. He is a civil/ sanitary engineer having received both a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a M.S. in Sanitary Engineering. Mr. Sweet holds a professional engineer's license in the State of Ohio which he has held since 1972 and currently has applications for registration in Iowa, Pennsylvania and Indiana. During his 14 years with ES, he has advanced to Senior Associate and is one of ES' most experienced engi- neers. Mr. Sweet has had key management roles in numerous design and construction projects including these very noteworthy facilities: the 50 mgd Cleveland Westerly physical/chemical advanced wastewater treat- ment facility, the 4 mgd Meander Watershed Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility, (2 -stage pure oxygen with ozone disinfection), the 15 mgd/45 1 mgd peak Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant (plastic media trickling filter). Mr. Sweet is currently the Assistant Project Director on the City of Youngstown's 35 mgd/90 mgd peak wastewater treatment plant (also plastic media trickling filter) and is responsible for all contractual I and administrative functions especially liaison with regulatory agencies such as the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. This $50 million project is scheduled for design completion in July 1984, therefore Mr. '- Sweet could dedicate up to 90 percent of his time to this project. Mr. Sweet is located in the ES Cleveland Office. 1 NO. 2 _ Other key personnel who would be assigned to this project include: Financial and Legal Considerations Mr.,R. M. Davidson, Senior vice -President of The Parsons Corpora- tion, is responsible for privatization projects worldwide within The Parsons Corporation. As a nationally recognized expert in this area, Mr. Davidson will provide both the legal and financial direction so necessary to the completion of successful privatization projects. Mr. Davidson, who has an engineering degree as well as graduate degrees in business and law, has provided overall direction for the privatization PARSONS- . �. i of the Chandler, Arizona and Auburn, Alabama wastewater projects as well w� as a number of other privatization projects. Mr. Davidson previously served as Vice President and General Coun- sel for The Parsons Corporation. He is located in the Parsons Pasadena, California world headquarters and will be available to the extent neces- sary. I Principal -In -Charge jThe Principal -in -Charge for this project will be Dr. A. W. Loven, Group Vice President. Dr. Loven's primary function on this project will be related to contractual, personnel and financial aspects, and he will ensure that the Project Manager receives adequate support and resources - to perform the work on schedule and within budget. As a nationally .' recognized expert in municipal wastewater treatment, Dr. Loven will also -+ contribute to the technical as well as management portions of the pro- ject. Dr. Loven serves in a key management role in the Auburn, Alabama y; privatization project. _ Dr. Loven is a chemical/environmental engineer licensed in Iowa (8 years); Georgia (8 years); Maryland (1 year); North Carolina (14 years); jr South Carolina (9 years); Virginia (10 years); Ohio (1 year); and Florida (9, years). He has been with ES for 12 years. He is located in J the ES Atlanta office and will be available for 154 of his time. Technical Director It is ES' policy to assign a Technical Director for every project. The Technical Director's responsibilities are to (1) provide the Project Y Manager with sophisticated input to help him resolve important technical issues, and (2) coordinate project reviews at key points to ensure that the work meets ES' high standards for technical excellence. Mr. G. E. Strudgeon will bring to the Project Team the benefit of his 30 years of experience in the design, manufacture and operation of wastewater treatment processes and equipment. Mr. Strudgeon has been with ES for 14 years and will provide time on an as -needed basis. He is located in the ES Cleveland office and will be available 504 of his time. 1-3 ■ PARSON5- Proiec� Project Engineers ivities will be supervised by Mr. D. J. The project engineering act Hanna (Treatment Plant) and Mr. R. L. Thoem (Sewers). 61r. Hanna has had over 11 years of progressive experience with technical and managerial responsibilities in the design and construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities. Past experience as both a project engineer and as an engineering manager have yielded project results that met client needs within the allocated budget and schedule. Mr. Hanna's experience as a design engineer has been greatly aided by his hands-on exposure to design and operation of mechanical equipment in the marine industry. Typical design projects in wastewater treatment have included innovative design features such as: (a) Redesign of the solids handling system for a 10 mgd pure oxygen advanced wastewater treatment plant for conversion to a belt filter press system during construction resulting in a negotiated net credit to the owner with projected energy savings; (b) Design and construction of a secondary wastewater treatment plant providing year-round nitrification with bids taken within 14 of the estimate and construction completed within 2% of the construction bid price. Innovative design features included: variable influent flow using constant speed pumps for operability and power savings, an operable sludge drying bed enclosure suitable for year-round use in a severe climate, a consolidated pumping and piping complex to simplify operations and reduce construction costs, and reuse of all existing plant facilities; (c) Construction manager of a second- ary wastewater treatment plant during which a cycling air supply was added resulting in plant capability to provide biological ni10riif c tioore denitrification in a single sludge system resulting in overall power savings during operations. Innovative features included a programmable timing function on a centrifugal blower air supplysystem; (d) Design of pumping systems including wastewater, sludge, lime wastes, and an unusually corrosive industrial waste. Mr. Hanna was a reviewer on the Sludge Pumping portion of the Montana State University Con- ference, "Pump Station Design for the Practicing Engineer. Mr. Hanna is registered in New York (6 years) and Ohio (1 year). Mr. Hanna is located in the ES Cleveland office and is available 90% of his time. 1-4 11U �l PARSONS - Mr. R. L. Thoem is an environmental engineer who has been a regis- tered P.E. in Iowa (17 years) and several other states. He worked and lived in Iowa for many years as Environmental Engineering Department Head at Stanley Consultants (Muscatine) and is very familiar with the local facilities, site conditions, and needs facing Iowa City. Mr. Thoem has been involved with several projects for The University of Iowa and The Iowa Department of Environmental Quality. He has over 20 years of professional, technical and management experience including municipal interceptor sewer and treatment facilities ranging in size from less than 1 mgd to 120 mgd. Several typical projects which indicate Mr. Thoem's qualifications for this project are as follows: (a) Preliminary engineering including process developing and cost analysis for expansion of a 36 mgd advanced wastewater treatment plant to 54 mgd (Fairfax County, VA); (b) Facility planning projects for 36 mgd and 120 mgd treatment plants for the City of Atlanta. These included evaluation of a wide range of alternatives for relief sewer lines and treatment process upgrading. The treatment plant recommendations on these projects in- cluded abandoning the existing activated sludge processes and replacing them with fixed -film processes (bio -discs and oxidation towers). The relief sewers were required to alleviate infiltration/inflow problems and to remove a moratorium on sewer connections; (c) Waste load alloca- tion studies and sludge management study for Iowa DEQ; and solid waste resource recovery studies for the University of Iowa, most recently the evaluation which considered use of the present Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Plant site. Mr. Thoem is located in the ES Atlanta office and is available 80% of his time. Construction Services Construction services will be supervised by Mr. G. J. Hells. Mr. Melle will also participate in the design review phase to assure that the facilities, as designed, can be constructed with a minimum of diffi- culty and cost. This involvement during the design phase, plus his supervision of construction services, will assure that the project is constructed on schedule. As a resident engineer/project manager with ES, Mr. Malls, in his 12 years with ES, has been responsible for con- tract administration, review of shop drawings and test results, field inspection, evaluation of requests for payment, and preparation of 1-5 A I PARSONS - record drawings for construction of a 50 mgd advanced wastewater treat- ment facility and 300 mgd stormwater treatment facility. Mr. Melle is a structural/environmental engineer who has been registered in the State of Ohio for over 8 years. He is located in the ES Cleveland office and is available 90% of his time. Operations and Maintenance Start-up, operator training and other operation and maintenance activities will be supervised by Mr. C. J. Baylot. Mr. Baylot has over 30 years' experience in hands-on operation of wastewater treatment facilities. During this time, he has started up dozens of facilities, supervised the operation and maintenance of several major wastewater treatment facilities, and has gained a national reputation for his expertise in this area. In addition to direct supervision of start-up and training activities, Mr. Baylot, who has an operator's license in the State of Iowa, will also have a key role during the design phase as an advisor and reviewer to assure that the facilities will be designed with the operation and maintenance functions in mind. This involvement in the design and start-up phases will assure that the plant will be easy to operate and maintain. Mr. Baylot is located in the ES Atlanta office and is available 90% of his time.

The studies which have been completed by Veenstra A Kimm engineers in 1979 and updated by Dr. Richard R. Dague and Mr. J. W. Kimm dated J July 1983 provide the starting point for alternative solutions to the a above technical problem issues. A cursory review of the various alter- natives and recommended solution appears to present a viable phased program. It appears to Parsons that a reconfirmation/re-study of the techni- cal problems/solutions which cannot be used to immediately implement an improvement plan will be detrimental to the City. Further delays in putting a program into action only causes additional delays in elimi- nating sewer/basement flooding, stopping river pollution from the over- loaded plant and lifting the sewer moratorium which is preventing growth in and around the City. The Parsons approach is to offer the city both (a) a review and study of the overall problem and (b) an implementation alternative which would include a firm privatization offer. In this manner the City can relieve the situation on the most economically sound and rapid basis. Our team approach for privatization is defined in detail in Section 2 of this submittal. The fact that the team are all members of Parsons provides for the continuity of service starting with the qualified and experienced team members performing their various tasks. The responsibility of each of the key team members is well within their specific specialty or capability. Using a task -time related v approach the first task would be the study as requested in the RFP dated April 10, 1984. The key team member who will have the overall project management responsibilities would be Mr. Michael Sweet. Under Mr. Sweet's direc- tion, Mr. David Hanna and Mr. Robert Thoem will have the engineering responsibility for the treatment plants and sewers. Constructability and construction management will be under Mr. Gordon Melle and operation 1-11 11b1 ■ I PARSONS- & maintenance considerations the responsibility of Mr. Charles Baylot. Mr. George Strudgeon will have responsibility for technical direction and adequacy while Mr. Robert Davidson will be responsible for legal and financial matters. Dr. A. W. Loven will have contractual and management responsibility as principal -in -charge. The key team members will be committed to follow through in any implementation plan chosen by the City. NO. 8 The Parsons Corporation is an Equal Opportunity Employer with an approved Affirmative Action Plan. ES, who has the engineering, construction management and operation related services responsibility, is also an Equal Opportunity Employer and has long maintained a corporate policy to include qualified minority and/or female -busin& s enterprises as subcontractors whenever there is an identified need for subcontractor participation. NO. 9 The use of privatization as an alternative financing method to provide municipal wastewater and other projects is relatively new. Parsons, although not a financial institution does, however, offer private equity financing for selected engineering and/or construction projects, including full ownership. Recent privatization projects funded by Parsons include the Niland Geothermal Energy Program, and the Chandler Arizona wastewater treatment plant. The Chandler project is the first municipal wastewater privatization project in the country. The City of Auburn, Alabama has recently selected Parsons to privatize its wastewater treatment and collection facilities. Below are brief descriptions of several pertinent privatization projects. (1) THE CHANDLER, ARIZONA PROJECT is the nation's only wastewater treatment facility which has been privately funded and is under construction. Parsons is the sole financier for the 5 mgd advanced wastewater treatment plant. Parsons will provide engineering and construction management and ES will provide design services, construction services and plant operation 1-12 ■ I PARSONS - assistance. The project is financed with $23 million in Indus- trial revenue bonds issued by the Bank of America and fully _ backed by Parsons. This project was competitively bid. Among - the competitors were Arthur Young/Metcalf & Eddy, Rust/ Signal Clean Water, Turnkey Constructors and Whalen Corporation. The �.� plant is scheduled to begin delivery of. treated sewage to the i )� ( municipality for agricultural use by the end of 1985- The �J. construction of the plant in a timely manner is critical to the f City of Chandler in that this fast growing city, located 25 miles from Phoenix, averages a housing start every 34 minutes. This project is described in more detail in the brochure en- titled "Privatization of Public Facilities," which is provided r separately. ~!

The first phase of this project involves costs of $130 million, of which $30 million will be contributed by Parsons as equity. A second $60 million phase is planned. i NO. 10 t; i Parsons and ES have been involved with major project financing for many years. Parsons maintains a project finance staff and has working t I3 { relations with dozens of major international banks and investment and merchant banking firms. These capabilities provide the ability to finance a wide range of projects from copper mines in Chile to refin- eries in Saudi, Arabia to wastewater treatment plants in the United _ States. In addition, we have directly assisted our clients in the use _ of innovative funding methods'; processes and construction techniques. The following are just a few representative examples of wastewater treatment projects or other municipal projects which demonstrate this experience. Construction costs and contacts for each of these projects are noted in Table 1.2. - - Innovative Funding Rocky River, Ohio -, ES' involvement with the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant is -- a typical example of working closely with a municipality to implement a financially and technically successful project. This treatment facility Y is a 15 mgd secondary treatment expansion with a construction cost of $27,000,000 funded by a 756 grant from the USEPA. Through the invest- ment of funds the City of Rocky River was able to not only eliminate the cost of interest during construction but, in fact, earned sufficient interest revenue to reduce their ultimate bonded indebtedness by over 156. ES worked closely with the City and their bond counsel to develop this innovative funding approach. ES' involvement in this innovative funding scheme exemplifies our i continuing efforts to develop and implement not only technically sound but financially successful projects. 1-14 l lb' Ix PARSONS - Chandler, Arizona/Auburn, Alabama r+ Although not completed projects, Chandler, Arizona and Auburn, Alabama clearly demonstrate Parsons/ES involvement in innovative fund- ing. Each of these is unique in its approach and has been fully des- cribed in our response to Item 3 and are further discussed in Section 2 of this submittal. l Innovative Processes Meander Watershed Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facilities - -Mahonina County, Ohio. L, This advanced wastewater treatment facility was designed to provide regionalized treatment of wastewaters generated within the Meander Reservoir Watershed through a programmed phasing out of several smaller, inefficient plants. The first phase of the program is a 4-mgd module of an ultimate 16-mgd facility. The treatment process train consists of influent pump stations, comminution, aerated grit removal and a two-step pure oxygen -activated sludge system to achieve summer and winter nitri- fication. Carbonaceous BOD is removed, in the first -step oxygenation tank and clarifier and nitrogenous BOD removal occurs in the second -step oxygenation tank and clarifier. Next follows phosphorus removal utili- zing lime precipitation, clarification, recarbonation, and dual media filtration. The effluent is ozonated for disinfection and to establish a high level of dissolved oxygen prior to discharge. Sludges from both - the biological and chemical processes are gravity -thickened, either separately or together, prior to centrifugation and incineration/ L. recalcination. Recalcined lime can be recycled to the chemical treat- ment system and furnace exhaust gases used as a carbon dioxide source ifor recarbonation. This facility was the first plant to employ a two- s i step biological system using pure oxygenation and the first full-scale municipal wastewater treatment facility to use ozone for disinfection. The plant consistently meets or exceeds permit requirements. Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency .+ The operational phase of the Monterey Wastewater Reclamation Study for Agriculture (MWRSA), sponsored by the Monterey Regional Water Pollu- tion Control Agency, was initiated in August, 1980. The first sprinkler irrigation of a celery crop with reclaimed wastewater effluent was begun near Castroville, California, on a farm known as MWRSA Site D. This 1-15 l 161 PARSONS - five -year, $7 million field research and demonstration project is inves- tigating the feasibility of wastewater reclamation for irrigation of vegetable crops normally eaten raw. Four years of preparation preceded the first reclaimed water irrigation. A detailed set of objectives and work plans was drafted, and an environmental assessment report was prepared. A treatment plant (at Castroville) was selected for upgrading /addition of tertiary facilities; and selection, acquisition, and pre- paration of a 12 -ha (30 -acre) farm near Castroville for experimental t f plots and demonstration fields followed. A preliminary baseline charac- terization of the site was performed, and two tertiary treatment process trains at the Castroville Treatment Plant were designed and constructed. �. � Environmental chamber virological studies were conducted to establish sampling and assay procedures for field assessment of virus survival. Experimental design and layout of plots were selected, and monitoring of aerosol generation from sprinkler irrigation and agroclimatology was conducted. Baseline characterization of ground waters and eight treat - went plant effluents from the region were'performed over a two-year period. Finally, a sophisticated overall data management system was developed to handle the massive volume of information expected from the project. MWRSA is a pioneer in long-term, intensive field testing of the consequences of using reclaimed wastewater for irrigation of food crops. The project is being watched closely by many communities, state and federal agencies, and foreign governments for its importance to the future of water reuse and its public health implications and impacts. Hyperion Energy Recovery System �+ In June, 1981 Parsons, in a joint venture agreement, signed a contract for Phase A of the Hyperion Energy Recovery System for the City of Los Angeles. Under the agreement, Parsons provided engineering and design ser- vices for the complex project which results in the treatment of 265 tons per day of dry solids, the expected total for the entire City of Los Angeles by the year 2000. The anaerobically digested sludge is dried to about 98 percent solids in a Carver -Greenfield unit and then combusted in a thermal reactor to provide additional energy recovery and reduction 1-16 tl6( i L PARSONS - of the sludge's mass. Digester gas is used to power a combined cycle cogeneration facility. Heat from the combustion of the gases produced by the thermal _ reactor is used to produce steam for the dehydration unit and to produce saleable electricity. Sophisticated pollution control systems are installed to reduce the emission of pollutants to levels below those currently existing at the plant. The City engineering staff provided architectural and structural engineering for the project and designed the sludge dewatering facility and other portions of the project. J A consent decree between the City, the State and the EPA called for to completion of final plans and specifications for the HERS operation by I' 1.1 March 1, 1982, and for construction of the plant to begin by July 1, f ,.i 1982. Construction is nearing completion with full operation expected V" by July 1, 1985, the date by which the City has agreed to cease 'all dumping of sludge into the Pacific Ocean. Sludge Composting - Montgomery County, Maryland The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission selected ES to design I the mixing and screening systems for a sludge composting facility in Montgomery County, Maryland. The facility composts 363 wet metric tons (400 short tons) per day of sewage sludge dewatered to 20 percent sol- ids, using a modification of the Aerated Static Pile Method developed at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. The process consists of mixing the sludge with a suitable bulking agency (wood chips or un - screened compost), forced -air aeration at 42.5 m3/hour (1,500 cfh) per dry ton of sludge in the compost mix for 21 to 24 days in a static pile, screening of the compost to recover the bulking agent, and final stabi- lization of the compost during a 30 -day curing period. The sludge -bulking agent mixing system designed by ES utilizes mobile mixers on a covered mixing area to provide reliable, year-round operation. The screening system utilizes vibrating deck screens and is enclosed in a building to provide process and emissions control. In addition, a covered area adjacent to the screening enclosure is provided to permit mechanical windrow drying of the compost prior to screening. - Oceanside, California The City of Oceanside, California, has begun start-up of the new Robert A. Weese Water Filtration Plant following the completion of 1-17 1 161 PARS N5 - i i design and resident engineering services provided by ES. The 60,600-m3/d (16-mgd) plant employs a number of advanced features which simplified construction and. reduces ultimate energy consumption and operating costs of the treatment system. The plant design is unique in that it eliminates most of the pip- ing, valves, and controls normally found in pipe galleries of conven- tional plants. To maximize energy conservation, the chemical mixing and flocculation processes as well as the backwashing system use the energy available in the excess hydraulic pressure from the plant's water source which is the San Diego County Water Authority No. 2 aqueduct. Provis- ions are made for automatic feeding of alum and three types of polymers for coagulation, sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment, and chlorine for disinfection. Powdered carbon and potassium permanganate or .other oxidizers may also be applied for taste, odor, and/or color control if needed. The plant controls include an automatic and semi-automatic back - washing system. The filters discharge to a common afterbay where level is controlled by an adjustable overflow weir with an elevation from 500 to 970 mm (20 to 38 in) above the backwash troughs. To execute a back- wash, the inflow to the filter is cut off. When the level falls to the height of the discharge weir, the backwash gate for the backwash troughs is opened so that the water level drops to the level of the backwash troughs; this differential head then causes the flow through the filter to reverse at about 13.6 1/m2/s (20 qpm/sq ft). The upper surface of the expanded media is scoured with high velocity jets from pumped storage. Water jets also spray the walls to remove floating scum. The simplicity of construction and operation make this design attractive for use throughout the world and particularly in countries where highly skilled operators are scarce. Engineering -Science completed a similar design at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, which is now constructed and on line. Innovative Construction Techniques Cuyahoga Valley Interceptor Pump Station Construction of the 242,200 m3/day (64 mgd) Cuyahoga Valley inter- ceptor (CVI) Lift Station, designed by ES for the Northeast Ohio Reg- ional Sewer District, is utilizing an imaginative technique in the solution of substantial cofferdam and excavation difficulties. The 1-18 t(0 ■ !I PARSONS - station will initially include three vertical, centrifugal pumps of 1.5 i m3/s at 31.1 m (23,000 gpm at 102 ft) TDH. The pumps are equipped with 597 kW (800 hp) variable speed drives connected with magnetic eddy current couplings. Ultimate station capacity is 484,500 m3/day (128 mgd). The 24.4 m (80 ft) deep excavation for the CVZ Lift Station is located near both the Cuyahoga River and the Ohio Canal, as well as within 15.2 m (50 ft) of a heavily traveled county highway. Soils to be i removed and retained are hard -to -handle silts and silty clays with occasional sand or gravel seams. This problem was attacked by constructing a cofferdam consisting of steel sheet piling driven in a circular configuration with a diameter of 45.7 m (150 ft). The upper 9.1 m (30 ft) of the excavation was laid back in the normal manner after which the cofferdam was driven using 21.3 m (70 ft) long steel sheets. in order to maintain clear working area within the cofferdam, four cast -in-place concrete compression rings were used to brace the sheeting rather than the usual internal side-to- side bracing system. The compression rings were constructed of 351 kgf/cm2 (5,000 psi) concrete, reinforced with 30,840 kg (34 tons) of steel in each ring, and are approximately 1.7 m (5.5 ft) wide by 0.9 to 1.1 m (3 to 3.5 ft) thick. Excavation of the cofferdam was carried to each successive ring location in stages, with ring construction and curing required before the excavation could proceed to the next lower level. Completion of the station used upwards of 8,405 m3 (11,000 cu yd) of concrete. City of Cleveland/Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Combined ^ Sewer Overflow Project The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) was organized in July, 1972, and formed the first consolidated, regionalized approach to water pollution abatement in the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area. The NEORSD encompasses the city of Cleveland and 33 surrounding suburbs, and is providing wastewater handling and treatment facilities to serve approximately half of Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The major facilities com- prise all major interceptor sewers and three major wastewater treatment centers: the Westerly, Easterly, and Southerly. 1-19 1 I� PARSONS - The Westerly Wastewater Pollution Control Center (WWPCC) drainage area is serviced by a combined sewer system with numerous overflow structures, which historically relieved the sewer system of surcharged conditions by direct discharge to Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River. The U.S. EPA required the elimination of these discharges. Central to the Westerly collection System are five interceptor sewers, one of which (the Northwest Interceptor) was recently con- structed with the primary purpose of collecting combined sewer over- flows. Based on a 10 -year 10 -minute storm, it is estimated that a peak wet weather flow of 1,800 mgd (2,775 cfs) could enter the Westerly Wastewater Pollution Control Center. The storm runoff will transport 1.4 million pounds of BODS and.3.7 million pounds of suspended solids. Although no specific combined sewer overflow treatment criteria have been stipulated, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency indicated that the WWPCC should be capable of handling six times dry weather flow. In light of the 50 mgd AWT capacity at Westerly (see project description below) this was interpreted as a total required capacity of 300 mgd (462 cfs). Within the limits of the constraints on this project, it was also desirable to achieve a combined sewer overflow treatment facility (CSOTF) of 300 mgd capacity plus the 100 mgd AWT capacity. Because influent flows to the WWPCC will frequently exceed this total 400 mgd rate, facilities must be provided to successfully handle flows up to the maximum of 1,800 mgd (2,775 cfs). Thirteen candidate combined sewer overflow treatment systems were identified and evaluated. These candidate systems were analyzed and compared with respect to combined sewer overflow storage capacity, BODS and suspended solids removal, and costs. The proposed facilities and the evolution of their design were then defined, together with the anticipated construction procedures and the problems involved in interfacing this construction with that of the ad- vanced wastewater treatment facility. A description of the CSOTF con- struction sequencing and required interfacing with the Westerly AWT Facility was prepared; design and construction is now complete. 1-20 PARSONS- ,. f' i, Advanced Westerly Wastewater Treatment Facility, Ohio i r The most substantial evidence of ES' involvement in both innovative. '- processes and innovative construction techniques is the Cleveland West- erly Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District successfully placed into _ operation the first liquid phase of the new Westerly Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility (AWTF) on 27 November 1979. Simulaneously, the ex- isting treatment plant, which was constructed in 1920 and which provided I only marginal treatment for the past 59 years, was finally taken out of �J service, marking a milestone in a pollution abatement program begun nearly a decade ago for greater Cleveland. The Westerly AWTF, designed by Engineering -Science, incorporates the latest and most sophisticated technology available today and provides continuous treatment capacity for 189,250 m3 /day (50 mgd) and has the capability of operating during periods of high flow at the rate of 378,500 m3 /day (100 mgd). The West- erly Facility is unique in that the treatment techniques in lieu of any conventional biological systems. Approximately 40 percent of the waste- water conveyed by the combined sewer system to the Westerly plant is in- dustrial resulting in significant variations in plant influent raw water quality which could disrupt a biological treatment system. The Westerly AWTF was constructed on a constrained 3.2 ha (8 acre) II, area of the existing plant employing unique construction staging and interfacing with existing treatment facilities. Ten general contractors worked on the site simultaneously. Concurrent with construction of new facilities, the existing units were demolished to provide space for the remaining new construction. The successful start-up of the Westerly - facility permitted demolition of the existing screen building and detri- i tors for construction of the new plant's administration building. The existing Imhoff tanks were also removed from service which permitted commencement of their modification as part of the Combined Sewer Over- flow Treatment Facility project (see CSO discussion above). All flows conveyed to the Westerly site for this system, estimated at a peak rate of 6.8 X 10 m3/day (1800 mgd), are handled by the new facility and, in conjunction with the Westerly AWTF will remove approximately 95 percent of pollutants generated annually from the Westerly tributary area. 1-21 N (I iI �I , PARSONS- i I i The new facilities designed by ES include conventional headworks, clarification and phosphorus removal with lime coagulation, recarbo- nation, preozonation, dual media sand filtration, granular activated carbon adsorption, chlorine disinfection, and dechlorination for the liquid treatment phase. The plant was designed to provide total treat- ment on-site with minimum reliance on off-site support. Material con- servation and energy recovery were incorporated in the design through lime recalcination and recovery, furnace stack gas recovery for recar- bonation, preozonation oxygen vent recovery for oxygenation, and provi- sion for waste heat recovery from the carbon regeneration system.

Like many Sun Belt cities, Chandler, Arizona, has under- gone dramatic growth. Founded in 1912 as an agricultural community 35 miles southeast of Phoenix, Chandler underwent a population explosion in the 1970s because of an influx of goods -pro- ducing industries ranging from elec- tronic calculators to mobile homes. The city's population grew from al- most 14,000 in 1970 to nearly 30,000 in 1980 and has since risen to more than 45,000. As is the case in other cities, growth has strained Chandler's abil- ity to provide municipal services, in- cluding wastewater treatment. Chan- dler, however, has taken a step to solve its problems, by becoming the first municipality in the nation to opt for the privatization of a new waste- water treatment plant. An extended aeration, activated sludge facility capable of processing up to five million gallons of waste- water per day will be built on a 40 - acre plot in Chandler, and the entire facility will be privately financed as well as privately owned and oper- ated. Chandler will pay a monthly service fee to have its wastewater treated and will retain ownership of the end product. The new plant will be a reclamation facility with the treated water sold to local agricul- tural interests for irrigation purposes and later to developers for recrea- tional and industrial use. Chandler's decision to turn to the private sector for help ih providing needed municipal services began in 1979 when the city commenced an extensive program of planning for future growth. With the population swelling by an estimated 1,000 pco- ple per month, Chandler officials recognized that needs would over- burden the city's ability to deliver municipal services unless careful planning was undertaken. According to City Manager Hal Schilling, pri- vatization was one of the alterna- tives under early consideration. "We are a city with no reserva- tions on the Issue of the private ownership of public services," says Schilling. "As long as the service of. fered is equal to or better than that which could be provided by a public agency, and as long as the cost is right, we will go to the private sec- tor." That philosophy had already led Chandler to contract with private enterprise for refuse and garbage collection, as well as some public groundskeeping and civil engineering review services. But the development of a new wastewater treatment facil- ity differed from those projects, due to the required heavy capital outlay. Among the people providing fi- nancial advice to the city was Boettcher & Company, a Denver- based investment banking firm. Steve Butterfield, a municipal fi- nance specialist in the firm's Phoe- nix office, recommended a privately financed program. "Privatization was a much-dis- cussed, but yet untried, method of financing treatment plants," says Butterfield. "But the more we looked into it, the more sense it seemed to make." Boettcher identified numerous ad- vantages for Chandler in privatiza- tion. Privatization would free the city from having to raise user fees, and left Chandler's bond capacity unimpaired, thus permitting conven- tional bonds as an option for financ- ing other needed services. Privatization would also save Chandler both time and money in bidding the job, and Boettcher con- vinced the city that a new wastewa- ter treatment facility could be built and operated by private enterprise for less money than Chandler could build and operate the plant itself. Boettcher's plan, accepted by the city council, called for raising approxi- mately S23 million through indus- trial development revenue bonds to be issued by the Industrial Develop- ment Authority of the city of Chan- dler. The next step was to find a com- pany with the expertise to build and operate the plant and the willingness to take the financial risks. The Par- sons Corporation, an engineering/ construction organization headquar- Icred in Pasadena, California, was selected for the project. In order to take advantage of in - American City & County/March 1984 centives that would make industrial development bonds attractive to po- tential investors, the funding phase of the project needed quick institu- tion. Worried by a possible loss of federal tax dollars through the sale of tax-free industrial revenue bonds, some members of Congress have threatened legislation that would make the issuance of such bonds more difficult. Since Arizona has no laws prohibiting the private owner- ship of public facilities, it was im- portant to close the project in 1983, before the effective date of any ad- verse legislation. The funding plan Parsons offered included two alternative proposals to the industrial revenue bond concept Chandler was using. The first was the use of the financial strength of the corporation to back the issuance of the bonds. The second was the use of a variable or floating rate rather than a fixed rate to pay bond hold- ers. The two Parsons' proposals were accepted by Chandler officials. Three weeks after Parsons was se- lected, a comprehensive service agreement was completed. Chan- dler's Industrial Development Au- thority subsequently issued nearly $23 million in floating rate industrial development bonds secured by an ir- revocable letter of credit from the Bank of America and backed by Parsons. The agreement included review of the initial wastewater treatment plant design by Parsons' subsidiary, Engi- neering -Science. This option allowed Parsons to assume design respon- siblity for certain aspects of the plant. Construction and plant oper- ations and maintenance will be the responsibility of a new subsidiary, Parsons Municipal Services, Inc. The decision to privatize a needed public facility has allowed Chandler to provide its residents with a public service without a significant increase in user fees or a general tax increase. The use of floating rate industrial development bonds will save the city an estimated 51.1 million per year in the cost of financing the wastewater treatment project. Schilling sees privatization as a possibility for other public works projects in Chandler. "We need to gcl more and more private invest- ment in our communities, but you can't if you don't have the infras- tructure to support new facilities," he says. "Since you won't have the federal government to defray as many of the expenses In the years to come, this kind of financing of pub. lic facilities is the future." D 1141 James Flanigan Parsons Shows Ingenuity Can Work Wonders Whatever happened to Yankee ingenuity? You get the feeling sometimes that the whole country is like an old house going to ruin because the handyman has gone away. The bridges and roads are in need of repair; traffic is snarled but there are no trains; electric power plants—planned at a different time for different needs—are too expen- sive to open, too costly to cancel. There never seems to be enough money to do what.needs to be done. What's happened to Yankee inge- nuity? ft's alive and well and recently showed its face in Chandler, Ariz., a growing town of 45,000 that is 25 miles southwest of Phoenbt Chan- dler needed a new waste water treatment plant but was for iL pressed for the money to pay The city asked prospective contrac- tors to be prepared to Put up 20% of toebest of the conederednfor t if tthe wantedhey job of building it.. But in came Parsons Corp, the Pasadena -based engi- neering and construction company, and offered not only to finance the entire 523 -million plant but to own and operate it, selling the water treatment service to Chandler for the next two dozen years, after which the town will have the option of buying the plant or continuing to pay for Parsons' service,. but at a lower rate, Profitable Company Is Parsons an angel of municipal mercy? Not at all, It is a highly profitable engineering company with 'an 58.5 -billion backlog of work, and earnings last year of $46 million on $800 million in reve- nues—the third largest, after Bech- tel and Fluor, of the big. U.S. engineering firms. Parsons makes its money, whether designing and building a new industrial city in Saudi Arabia or retrofitting a refin- ery in Louisiana, by billing the time and output of'its engineers. And good money it is, roughly 26% on Investment last year. it will make a comparable return on its investment in the water treatment plant for Chandler, yet the community will pay less for the service than if it had financed the project itself with tax-free munici- pal bonds. How is that? First of all, Parsons has put up $23 million to back industrial revenue bonds that will be issued by Chandler, but not charged to the town's debt total because Parsons is bearing the risk. Also, because Parsons is a private company, it can take the risk of floating interest rates on the bonds—currently it is paying less than 6%—while a political entity using public funds could not. Then, too, Parsons will benefit from tax credits—the investment tax credit (about toq,) and accelerated de- preciation—that will shelter its oth- er corporate Income. The result: Chandler gets a low service charge for water treatment, and Parsons gets work for its engineers and a good profit. Parsons is bidding on a similar project in Auburn, Ala., and looking also to build, own and operate steam and electricity co -generation facili- ties for chemical companies near Houston (Parsons would sell pro- cess steam to petrochemical pro- ducers, and sell the electricity to Houston Lighting& Power). Loaded With Spare Cash Note: Parsons is loaded with spare cash, and it is a relatively slow time [or engineering projects world- wide. other companies might think of diversification at such a time. But Parsons, more sensibly, is develop- ing a variation on its main business, playing from its strength, "We are not uncomfortable designing and building these plants," observes Chairman William Leonhard, a for- mer Air Force general. "ft's a way to make an honest buck." "It's a concept whose time has come;' declares Harvey Goldman, a partner in the accounting firm of Arthur Young & Co.

Now n it is four projects consulting alfake City, with New Jersey, on a $40 - million facility in Bayonne, and with 22 other states on ways in which private industry and local govern- ment can work together. Is this a healthy trend? of course it Is. The skills of private industry are being directed to the public purpose, and tax credits, for once, are being used to foster useful and necessary work. Think about that the next time some after-dinner speaker or political candidate gives off a belch of hot air about the implacable conflict between busi- ness and government. With a little ingenuity they can work together for the good of all. }los Angeles Mimes Sunday, March 11, 1984 W `PRIVATE' PUBLIC WORKS CHANDLER MAYOR BROOKS AND BUILDER DAVIDSON: SAVING MILLIONS IN SEWAGE BILLS Although raw sewage has been running down their streets, dis- traught city fathers in the tiny Southern California town of Norco could not afford to build a new sewage -treat- ment plant As a result, they faced the unpopular prospect of turning away new residents and businesses. But this year, Norco finally hopes to break ground on a sewage plant—thanks to a financing technique called "privatization." By en- listing a profit-making company to build, own, and operate basic facilities, Norco and other financially pinched cities may get municipal services sooner and save up to 60% at the same time. Under privatization, a facility—such as a wastewater or sewage -treatment plant—is financed with tax-exempt in. dustrial development bonds IIBBS). The IDRs are issued by the municipality or county, but they are an obligation of lie private company that owns and operates the plant and is responsible for paying the bondholders. The company's cost of borrowing through an IDB is virtually always lower than it would be without the tax-exempt status. Once the facility is up and running, the owner takes the tax benefits that normally go along with a private project, including investment tax credits and depreciation—benefits that are not usable by a municipality. The tax advantages that the corpora- tion captures help produce a huge sav- ing for the city. But it is precisely these tax benefits that have raised hackles in Congress, which is currently in a frenzy of loophole -plugging to shrink the bud- get deficits (page 29). Faced with a storm of protest by governors, bond un- BUSINESSWEEKIAPRIL 9, 1984 derwriters, and pollution -control compa- nies, the lawmakers are unlikely to sim- ply outlaw IDBS, but even their alternative proposals would jeopardize many privatization projects. For in- stance, they would like to limit each state's IDB issuance to $150 -per -person, a cap that would leave cities fighting for their annual share. RUNAWAY tNTRLIYfNrL Congress also wants- to put a $40 million limit on the number of IDBS per company and shrink tax benefits by tightening depreciation rules. Says Dan Rostenkowski (D-111.), chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee: "We recognize that volume limitations are very controversial, but they are the only effective way to con- trol what has become the equivalent of n runaway entitlements program." Robert M. Davidson, senior vice-presi- dent of Parsons Corp., says if such pro- posals become law, "it will severely dam- age, if not end, the privatization projects.' Parsons, a Pasadena (Calif.) engineering firm, hopes that at the least certain key community services will be exempted from any legislation. The com- pany, expects the profitable activity to become a major business thrust The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that some $118 billion worth of work needs to be done by the end of this century in sewage treatment alone. Parsons' Davidson sees at least as much construction needed in water treatment "There simply is not enough money in We federal Treasury to support those needs," says Jack E. Ravan, the EPA's assistant administrator for water. Other candidates for privatization are hydro- electric generation stations, toxic -waste projects, transit systems, office complex- es, parking garages, and health and edu. cational facilities. PRIVATIZATION OR SuBT. One of the most established applications of privatization is the refuse -to -energy projects that Sig- nal Cos., a la Jolla (Calif.) conglomerate, has pioneered for nearly a decade. Now, as more towns bump ceilings on their bond -issuing capacity and find federal grants drying up, the technique is gain- ing wider notice. Some city officials, such as Norco's Ronald E. Cano, see a partnership with a private company as their only option. "We were really up against a wall, and conventional financ- ing was too expensive for us," Cano says. A Boston engineering firm, Met- calf & Eddy Inc., will finance, design, manage the eontructfon, own, and run Norco's new sewage -treatment plant Investment bankers and consultants say that dozens of other cities—includ- ing Auburn, Ala.; Trenton, N.J.; Salt Lake City; and Orlando—are considering projects using privatization. For the rap- idly growing Phoenix suburb of Chan- dler, privatization was "the only practi- cal alternative" for building a new sewage -treatment plant, says Barry H. Webber, the town's director of manage- ment services. "We either had to do this or stop growing." 'Utilizing a $22.9 million IDB, Parsons Corp. will build the town's sewage plant at a cost to Chandler equal to an interest rate of about 7.2%. The company will provide a wastewater treatment service, but the water will still be owned and controlled by the town. Parsons will have no direct contact with the public. Chandler will pay Parsons its fee while it will continue to bill its residential and other sewage customers. Most cities, of course, have not priva- tized such facilities, often financing them with revenue bonds backed by fees the city collects from users of its sew- age and water systems. That alternative, however, is not always feasible. Says Chandler's Webber: "We couldn't hope to go to the Street and sell a 23 -year revenue bond issue at 7.2%" HARI) s[LU. Webber figures Chandler is saving $1.1 million a year during the contract's 25 years, and the savings will be passed on to users. Instead of sewage bills jumping from $3.50 per month to $18.50, they will'rise to only $7.30 this summer and to $8.85 in July, 1985. Al- though he says structuring the deal was difficult, Webber is considering privati- zation for a water treatment facility, too. Jerry Brooks, the mayor of Chan- dler, concedes that there was resistance to the technique at first, "but once the people and council members understood it, they were wholeheartedly behind it" FINANCE 5+ Elba Editorials I Privatization is no scam The flood of private investors champing at the bit to get in on the wastewater privatization bonanza automatically sig- nals alarms in Washington and town -council chambers. The tax -shelter potential is immense. And that sounds like big money can be made by private investors providing public services—exactly the opposite of what well-intentioned pro- moters of the privatization concept want to convey. {Nall Street is spending time and money to convince Congress to retain the generous tax benefits available for private investors in municipal wastewater treatment plants. But they are putting the cart before the horse. Nearly everyone contacted for this week's anide on privatization in the wastewater business noted that they have investors lined up but no place to put all the money (see p. 24). Municipal officials are curious, but few are taking the bait. One estimate of the privatization potential in the waste- water business is that it will rival the federally subsidized market created by the Environmental Protection Agency construction grants program. Without the municipalities on board, however, it won't amount to a hill of beans. What's needed—and what the American Clean Water Association (ACWA) is trying to put together—is an educational cam- paign directed at municipal officials and the public showing that privatization is not a scam but a logical way to finance, design, build and operate new systems or expansions. Larry J. Silverman, executive director of the 200 -member organization formed in 1979 to meld environmental and wastewater business interests, is leading the educational effort from his office in Washington, D.C. Few are better qualified to convince the tennis shoe contingent of the good results that can be had by unleash- ing the Wall Street wolves. Silverman is a lawyer, a graduate of Ralph Naders lobbying school and a convert—after the 1977 amendments to the Clean Water Act—to the proposi- tion that businessmen and environmentalists work best to- gether as a team promoting clean water. He has credibility and experience in Washington and in town councils, ACWA seeks to become the clearinghouse for information on privatization. The dedication and experience is there. What it lacks is a war chest.

If negotiations with a California firm can be com- pleted in the next 10 days, Chandler will become the first city in the nation to let private industry build and operate such a plant. Under the arrangement, called "privatization," Parsons Cgrp. of Pasadena, Calif., would build the $78 million plant and treat the city's sewage for the next 93 years. The result is expected to be substantial sav- ings for the firm and for Chandler, said Steve Butter- field, a representative of Boettcher and Co., which is overseeing the project. "It's the best of both worlds," said Butterfield, who also has said the city could save nearly $1 million a year by letting Parsons own and operate the plant. Under the plan, Parsons would issue $28 million in tax-free. bonds, which the city would repay at a 7.15 percent interest rate, about four points below the cur- rent market rate of interest. The Chandler Industrial Development Authority last week gave preliminary approval of the industrial revenue bonds for the pro- ject. Final approval from the IDA and the Chandler City Council is expected to come Dec. 78, if negotiations are completed by then. No other cities have tried privatization on sewage plants because the concept is a new and difficult one for city leaders to grasp, Butterfield said. "Until recent years it just hasn't been widely known," he said. "There haven't been seminars to ex- plain it. "What makes it difficult is that the city has to em- brace the concept of giving up ownership of something that traditionally has been theirs," he said. "It's a philosophical decision: What do you give up? And you also have to decide whether to give up operating the plant. "These people (city officials) have gone to school and been taught that these are services cities provide. It's difficult for them to give that up. That was the original point of negativism on the council, they didn't want to give it up. It's a big step." Chandler already has a contract with a private firm, SCA Services, to collect garbage. That ex- perience may have beenenough to convince city officials to give privatization a chance, Butterfield said. "I think through the garbage thing they came to realize that private management may be able to do a better job with some things. That's a big reason they've decid- ed to go ahead with privatization." The city's potential advantages of working with private industry go far beyond the estimated $950,000 a year cash savings, But- terfield said. "Chandler has grown by leaps and bounds, as you know, but that's not always good for a city because you have bonding (debt) limits," he said. "You can run out of bonding capacity in a hurry. "Chandler has been very in- novative in using improvement districts for streets and using Municipal Property Corporation bonds for downtown. They're us- ing all their financial options quite creatively, but they're still getting near the limits." By letting Parsons issue the bonds for the sewage plant, the ci- ty doesn't push itself closer to those state -imposed limits, he said. That, in turn, keeps the city from having to decide whether to use its bonds for the plant or, for example, for downtown redevelop- ment, he said. "It's not their (the city's) debt. It allows them to meet their other obligations because it doesn't go toward any of their bond limits. As far as the city's concerned, it's a real beauty." Reprinted from the Chandler Arizonan December 18, 1983 Chandler officials originally thought of using a grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency to pay for the plant. But reductions in federal spending under the Reagan administration have left Chandler well down the list of cities that will receive federal funding. Those federal cuts may cause a lot of cities to follow Chandler's lead, Butterfield said. "The EPA historically has given out tremendous amounts of money for sewer plants, but there has been a freeze under thls ad- ministration," he said. "More than anything else, this (privatization) Is going to be the thing of the future, with funds dry• ing up and the bond market get- ting tighter and tighter. That's an added reason why this is lust star- ting to take place. There has been money up until recent years; now It's starting to dry up." There also are advantages for the firm, he said. Parsons will realize a "substantial" savings by being allowed to issue the tax- exempt bonds. "Parsons Is doing it for a tax credit. They're in a 50 percent tax bracket. What better way to put their money to use? "They get a tax credit, ac- celerated depreciation (on in- vestments in the plant and equip- ment) and their capital Is be4 used In something they do. They're not investing in stocks and bonds or something someone else may know better than they do." The company also will be able to use the plant as an advertisement for projects with other cities, he said. 0 F ore than half a century ago, a young engineer launched a fledgling company into an industry that itself was barely off the ground. Ralph M. Parsons brought vision and pioneering endeavor to that venture, starting it on a 50 -year journey to the global enterprise that has become The Ralph M. Parsons Company. Today's Parsons is one of the world's larg- est international engineering and construction organizations, providing services to government and industry. Its position is one of outstanding reputation and expertise, and the Company consistently ranks at or near the top among firms engaging in engineering and construction. In more than 100 nations on six continents, the name Parsons has become synonymous with the design, engineering and construction of the largest, most complex and most innova- tive projects on the face of the earth.

Net income, dividend payments and earnings per Iihare were at all-time highs while _.iacklog remained one of the health. iest in the industry. -1 Through prosperous years and ,luring the recent industry downturn, our Corporations have produced un- _�nterrupted earnings gains. We have jeported year-to-year quarterly earn - Ings increases for 46 consecutive ,,.quarters, a laudable record particu. arly for a capital spending -related —business. The confidence we have in our business and in the continuing demand for our services was reflected in a 1983 stock split, the sixth in the last eight years. Maintaining the ,e nnual dividend rate of $1.00 on the newly issued shares, we effectively ;ncreased the dividend 33 percent. We note with pride that a share- k'holder owning 100 shares of Parsons stock in 1976 today would own 1,009 'flares with no increased investment. t" The key to our continuing strength is a basic policy of providing engi- leering, construction and related M ti services, a business we fully under- stand, while diversifying both geo- graphically and in terns of the industries we serve. We enter 1984 with a solid backlog, a strong financial position and a management team committed to ex- cellence. To demonstrate both the value and the degree of our commit- ment to the future, Parsons has developed a well-defined equity - participation strategy and plans to pursue aggressively the privatization market, one which many have rec- ognized as potentially very significant for the engineering and construction industry. The Corporation recently an- nounced its participation in what will be the nation's first privately owned and operated municipal wastewater treatment plant. In addition to per- forming engineering and construction management services at the Chand. ler, Arizona, facility, Parsons is pro- viding the backing for the $23 mil- lion industrial revenue bond issue to finance the plant. We are pursuing additional build - own -operate opportunities with proj- ects ranging from cogeneration power plants to sulfur recovery plants, water and wastewater treatment plants. A high priority also has been assigned to the acquisition of com- panies with technical or managerial skills which would complement the services already provided by the var- ious Parsons companies and which would help maintain and broaden the organization's position as a techno- logical leader in the total spectrum of industries. Finally, we would like to acknowl- edge two significant anniversaries that will be celebrated during 1984. De Leuw, Cather & Company will reach its 65th year in business while The Ralph M. Parsons Company will observe its 40th anniversary. We look forward to their continued valuable contributions as we take on the chal. lenges that lie ahead.

Parsons Company A noteworthy achievement enjoyed by The Ralph M. Parsons Company during 1983 was a signifi. cantly high capture rate of new assignments in the nuclear fuels processing and waste disposal, national defense, energy and advanced technology, public works and transportation markets. The Company, which has been successfully involved in the nuclear fuels cycle industry since 1947 and has completed more than 65 projects for the Department of Energy and its predecessors, received additional con- tracts in 1983, including a major fuels processing project and an assignment to find a safe under- ground disposal site for commercial nuclear waste. A high level of activity is expected to continue in the nuclear fuels area as well as the military and defense markets where opportunities remain strong for facilities design in support of missile systems and munitions fabrication and demilitarization. For the U.S. Air Force, Parsons is providing technical assistance for thr Peacekeeper Program. Services include conceptual design and con- struction surveillance for missile assembly and test facilities at Van- denberg Air Force Base, California. For the Space Shuttle Program, major progress was accomplished during the year in the design of facil- ities at the West Coast launch and recovery sites. In the transportation area, the eight -mile first phase of the Balti- -more Metro began successful opera- tion, an additional contract was assigned on the Northeast Corridor Rail Improvement Program, and con- itruction is proceeding on expansion of Denver's Stapleton International Airport. A 135 -loot -high building (left) houses the assembly plant for the Peacekeeper missile odor to test firing from a site along the ventral California coast. Activity in the industrial sector continued to be dominated by ac- complishments at the multibillion - dollar industrial city under develop- ment at Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. Milestones included installation of permanent utilities to the export refinery and petrochemical complex; completion of the 980 -megawatt gas turbine generator units; and occu- pancy of the first housing units in the permanent community. There were several bright spots in what has been a generally depressed petroleum and chemical market. A contract was awarded by Sohio to The largest man-made excavation In the xorid (above), Kennecott's Bingham Canyon topper mine near Salt Lake City, Is the subject of engineering studies to assess a major modernization program. Mosque (right) rises from the heart of the new permanent community at industrial city under construction In Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The Ralph M. Parsons Company ,perform engineering design for the Endicott Reservoir in Alaska's Beau- fort Sea. The project will be the first oil and gas production and process- ing plant to be located in the Arctic Ocean. For ARCO, Parsons was selected to begin preliminary engi- neering on an enhanced oil recovery project. Elsewhere on Alaska's North Slope, the largest and most complex sealift of modules to date was com- pleted for ARCO. For Sohio's Prudhoe Bay opera- tion, 14,500 tons of modules and skids constituted a major portion of its biggest -ever shipment to the North Slope. Offshore California, engineering services were provided for a Texaco platform near Santa Barbara. Half a world away, in Saudi Ara- bia's Eastern Province, construction proceeded on a $1.4 billion refinery for Petromin and Shell. One of the few grass roots refineries built in the last decade, the project is scheduled for startup in phases beginning in mid -1984. Sulfur assignments in 1983 in- cluded the seventh in a series of Stretford units designed for Pacific Gas and Electric in northern Cali. fornia and the fourth Claus sulfur ,recovery unit for Amerada Hess in Port Reading, New Jersey. While activity in the overall min- ing and metals area continues at a low level, the Company maintains its Position of leadership in materials handling, preparation of ore for 'treatment, and technology for metals recovery. A significant assignment was received from Kennecott to serve as contractor for its Utah mine modern- ization project which, upon comple- tion, may involve an investment of $400 million. Meantime, engineering and con- struction have proceeded in Mexico on the major expansion of milling operations for Compania Minera de Cananea. In Chile, Parsons' partner was awarded a major contract for modernization of the Codelco EI Teniente Concentrator. Technical expertise and worldwide procure- ment assistance are being provided by Parsons' domestic staff.

De Leuw, Cather & Company Encouraged by stabilization of funding mechanisms at both the fed- eral and state levels, De Leuw, Cather & Company entered 1984 with an optimistic outlook on business oppor- tunities for its transportation -related services, an area in which it has developed an enviable reputation. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 already has generated a healthy climate for De Leuw, Cather services, and the Com- pany is well positioned to capture a reasonable portion of this market. Overseas, an increase in business is also projected, especially in the Mid- east and Far Eastern countries. Principal markets are expected to be public transportation systems, railroad projects, and highway and bridge engineering. The latter area will include both new construction and rehabilitation. Additionally, the Company's ex- pertise in tunnel and major facility design has resulted in significant assignments in wastewater manage- ment and related environmental prof ects. Major contracts awarded in 1983 J �I were led by a design assignment for Kuwait's first railroad system, which -is viewed as part of a total Middle East rail network linking Kuwait with Iraq to the north and Saudi .Arabia to the south. In Malaysia, De &u1v Cather was retained to furnish technical direction for the design of a 124 -kilometer road- way that extends through in tainous terraioun- n. The assignment involves tunnel as well as bridge, highway and drainage design. Domestically, new contracts were awarded to redesign the Jamaica Sta- tion Complex, the hub of the Long Island Rail Road's commuter network to New York City; to design a nine• mile segment of the Milwaukee sewer system; and to provide design ser• vices for three North Carolina high. way bridges and studies for a fourth bridge. Among those projects completed during 1983, the second -level roadway at Los Angeles International Airport commanded great attention because of demands which will be made to handle the 1984 Olympic Games traffic. A joint venture with The second-level roadway around the entire wulm1eg a terminal loop. It was the largest construction Project In the 51 -year history of the airport. Crossing the Thames River, the 65 -year-old Groton, Connecticut, Bridge (above) hos undergone complete rehabilitation. A 122-mlle highway that pierces the rugged Andes mountains (right) Is the largest project Of Its type ever undertaken In Peru. De Leuw, Cather & Company .alph M. Parsons Company, the LAX expansion program included design and construction supervision services for a three -mile -long, five -lane road- way. In the nation's capital, De Leuw, Cather continued its engineering management role on the Washington Metrorail system. By late 1984, more than 60 miles of the 101 -mile Metro and 60 stations will be in operation. Elsewhere in the U.S., testing began on a new 6.4 -mile Buffalo light rail rapid transit system which is expected to be fully operational by X985; development proceeded for a modernized train control and com- munication system for the Cleveland transit system; and service began on an extension of the Chicago rapid transit system to O'Hare Interna- tional Airport. International milestones included the opening of a five -mile expressway in Thailand, part of an elevated urban system linking highways entering Bangkok; completion of two major 60 -mile -long feeder roads in Ethiopia; an expansion of services as coordinating consultant for the 10 41 Singapore Mass Rapid Transit Sys- tem to include a total of 17 miles, 10 of which are underground; and application of an innovative incre- mental launching method in the con- struction of two massive roadway interchange ramps in Abu Dhabi. Highway and bridge rehabilitation projects include historic bridges in Washington, D.C., and Pasadena, California. Transportation planning services are being provided for a 2.5 - mile -long bridge and more than 30 miles of approach roads to link Anchorage with a growing region to the north and ultimately with the planned new state capital at Willow, Alaska. Accomplishments on wastewater management assignments included completion of the Bayside core sys- tem, a major element in the San Francisco Clean Water Program; and the start of equipment testing on the Calumet sewage pumping station in Chicago. Rehabilitation work begins on the Nlantic Bridge (lar left) at East Lynne, Connecticut, as part of a program to Improve high-speed rail traffic along the Northeast Corridor. Restoration alternatives are being examined for the historic Colorado Street Bridge (left) In Pasadena, California, Bulli In 1913, the bridge features 11 parabolic arches and extensive decorative detailing. Following redesign of the median of Chicago's Kennedy Expressway, rail rapid transit (above) Is now provided to O'Hare International Airport. S.I.P. Engineering, Inc. S.I.P. Engineering, Inc. continues to focus its marketing efforts on its traditional service base, medium-sized projects for the energy and chemical industries of the Gulf Coast region. Capital outlays in the domestic Petroleum and chemical industry are projected to increase slightly above recent years. The emphasis being placed on cost reduction techniques in the com- modity chemicals field and down- stream diversification into specialty chemicals will likely produce small and medium-sized projects for which the Company is advantageously positioned to provide services. A favorable marketing position also exists in the petroleum refining area because of extensive experience with mid-sized projects bid on a competi- tive lump -sum basis. Accomplishments during 1983 include completion of a 12,500 barrel - per -day continuous catalyst regener- ation reformer for Conoco at Lake Charles, Louisiana, and startup of the largest residuum oil supercritical 12 extraction unit which was built for Murphy Oil's refinery at Meraux, --Louisiana. Work also proceeded toward a 1984 completion for Shell facilities near ,Cortez, Colorado, designed to produce more than 400 million cubic feet per day of carbon dioxide for use in en- hanced oil recovery. The gas will be transmitted by pipeline to west Texas where it will be injected into a pro- ducing oil field to increase recovery. New contracts won by S.I.P. in- clude the design of a $100 million cogeneration power plant at Clear Lake, Texas. The 300•megawatt facility will produce steam which will be used by Celanese, and electric power which will be purchased by Houston Lighting & Power. An amine regeneration unit (left) was finished on a fast-track schedule for e petroleum refiner in the Gulf Coast. - To help Conoco upgrade the octane of Its unleaded motor fuel, a continuous catalyst regeneration reformer (above) was completed at Lake Charles, Louisiana. A cogeneration power plant (right), adjacent to the Celanese facility in Clear Lake, Texas, .., will produce steam for use by the chemical complex and for purchase by a Houston utility. 13 Parsons Constructors Inc. In the continuing effort to keep America's largest oil-producing reservoir at the 1.5 million barrel -per - day level, strategic services were again carried out by Parsons Con- structors Inc. in 1983. At fabrication sites in Tacoma and Everett, Washington, the Company provided construction services for oil and gas gathering and for seawater injection facilities that comprised the largest and most complex shipment of materials to the North Slope of Alaska since the historic first sealift nine years earlier. Parsons Constructors not only had the prime role at the Washington fabrication sites but also played a critical part in the entire sealift oper- ation, the largest ever in terms of tonnage and constructed value. Meantime, construction began at Everett on another facility which will be transported to the North Slope in the 1984 sealift. Modular gas com- pression facilities are being built for Alyeska Pipeline Service Company to provide fuel for the first four pump stations of the trans Alaska pipeline. It marks Alyeska's first use of modular construction. In the lower 48 states, Parsons Constructors furnished construction management on three projects plus modifications to a sulfur recovery unit at Tosco Corporation's northern California refinery and chemical slant; started work on the renovation if a four-story office building for the U.S. Postal Service Data Center in San Mateo, California; and launched a modification project at a Pacific Refining facility at Hercules, California. Along with continued commissions for North Slope -related projects, increased assignments in 1984 are anticipated for refinery modifications and construction management of facilities designed by other subsidiar- ies of The Parsons Corporation. A 45,000 barrel -per -day unlcracking hydro. desulfurization unit (left) was completed at Tosco's refinery and chemical plant complex In northern California. Barges (above) loaded with oil and gas gathering facilities for ARCO leave the Port _ of Tacoma for the North Slope of Alaska. The 1983 sealift of modules to Prudhoe Bay, consisting of 27 barges, was the largest and most complex since the first sealift of 1975. 15 Engineering -Science, Inc. Broad-based public support and national priority for protection of the environment, coupled with continu. ing attention to the needs of public works infrastructure, indicate that environmental studies and design will remain as major sources of bus- iness for Engineering -Science, Inc. Another area of growth opportun- ity lies in the development and oper- ation of municipal water, wastewater and energy facilities such as the firm's participation in the nation's first privatization project at Chandler, Arizona. Prospects for air quality work also appear promising, with increased op- portunities seen in hazardous and toxic waste evaluation. Intensified enforcement activities under current administration policies are likely to result in an increased number of Engineering -Science air quality assignments. Internationally, significant busi- ness is anticipated from countries that now place a priority on a safe drinking water supply and sanitary sewage disposal. Assignments which typify this trend came in 1983 from iG NO water and sanitation agencies in two developing countries in Asia. In Pakistan, Engineering -Science was selected to provide design and other services for the $100 million first phase of a water, sewerage and Drainage program for the city of Fai- salabad. In Thailand, the Company was commissioned to provide services for 170 municipal water supply sys- tems throughout the Kingdom. Domestically, the County of Fair- fax, Virginia, awarded a contract to provide services for the expansion of the Lower Potomac Pollution Control Plant. The project, which will cost between $80 million and $100 million, will achieve stringent effluent stan- dards for discharge to the Potomac River. Also in the U.S., the Company was selected to design an expansion to a water treatment plant in Austin, Texas, and was awarded a five-year contract for operation and manage- ment of the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. A modem water treatment plant (left), designed with cost and energy-saving features, nears completion In the Malaysian state capital city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Parsons Company Limited A full range of professional engi- neering and construction services is provided by The Ralph M. Parsons Company Limited (Parsons London) to clients in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Extensive gas processing and treat- ment experience, long a particular strength of the Company, is expected to facilitate winning contracts for work in the southern section of the North Sea, already a proven source of saleable gas. Some 80 percent of all natural gas now brought into the United Kingdom is processed in facil- ities designed and constructed by Parsons London. Similar opportuni- ties are anticipated in Norway and the Arabian Gulf countries. A shortage of natural gas for use it the United Kingdom is projected, and clients of Parsons London are plan- .. ning new gas projects or expansion o1 existing facilities. Nearing successful completion in 1984 is a major gas treatment plant for Shell. This 100,000 barrel -per -day iatural gas liquids facility is being built near Edinburgh, Scotland. Another contract awarded by Shell ncludes provision of services for a major expansion of the St. Fergus, Scotland, gas treatment plant, which nan operations in 1982. The one oillion cubic -foot -per -day plant is the largest project of its kind constructed >y Parsons London. A major offshore assignment for British Petroleum was completed in '983. Four platforms in the North iea were refurbished and an onshore facility was extensively modified in the West Sole offshore -onshore project. New contracts awarded in 1983 for front-end process design and engi- neering work came from clients such as Statoil, Shell, Conoco, Phillips, BP and Placid Oil for work in the North Sea and elsewhere. tl 'oading terminal(far left) at Braefoot Bay, icotland.

More than 50 contracts had been authorized by year end for the $2.1 billion Transportation and Roads Improvement Program at Abu Dhabi, capital city of the United Arab Emi- rates, for which RMP International, Ltd. (RMPI) is serving as on-site con- struction manager. The project is the largest urban highway development program ever undertaken as a single construction venture anywhere in the world. Elsewhere in the region, RMPI was awarded a contract by Dhabi Enter- prises to manage design and con- struction of an integrated commercial complex which will contain a shop- ping mall, offices, apartments and a hotel. The project, known as the A] Ain Palace Development, will cost about $150 million. Meantime, engineering and con- struction management services are being provided to Gulf Aircraft Maintenance Company for develop- ment of an aircraft maintenance facility at the new international air- port in Abu Dhabi. When completed, 20 I he complex will serve Gulfair and will offer commercial aircraft services 'coo a wide range of aircraft operating i n the Arabian Gulf region. In Hong Kong, monitoring con- 'inued in 1983 on a test embankment lite which was created as part of an effort to examine construction tech- , -piques for development of an offshore tirport. Tests provided valuable field per- formance data for use elsewhere in "long Kong and throughout the 1 world. A master plan for the airport, M including airspace, facility and infrastructure development, was prepared in an earlier assignment. —Innovative methods are being employed In the construction of Interchange romps (left) n Abu Dhabi where a 10 -year roads _ievelopment program Is In Its fourth year.

Parsons has no other significant business activities. RMP International, Ltd. (International) was organized in 1978 to provide various design, engineering (— and construction services to private and governmental customers on an international basis exclusive of the United States and the Cayman Islands. It is expected that Intemational will generally subcontract with Parsons for engineering and other work which can most advantageously be performed in the i United States. International is not subject to taxation on income under current laws of the Cayman ` Islands and depending on its geographic operations, it may or may not be taxed on income in other governmental jurisdictions. , Pursuant to a Pairing Agreement dated August 4,1978, the shares of Parsons and International are — } paired and are transferable and tradeable only in combination as units, with each unit consisting of one share of Parsons common stock and one share of International common stock. Separate financial statements have been presented for Parsons and International, along with combined financial statements of the two companies. Unless otherwise indicated, the following notes pertain to the combined financial statements and the separate financial statements of Parsons. r International has entered into agreements to subcontract to Parsons certain engineering services on various foreign projects or to provide construction management services to Parsons. Intemationars consolidated statement of income includes revenues recognized under the construction management services contract of $10,171,000,$5,312,000 and $2,475,000 in 1983,1982 and 1981, respectively, and direct costs of contracts under the engineering services subcontracts to Parsons of $1,482,000, $2,691,000 and $1,541,000 in 1983,1982 and 1981 respectively. In addition to the above, International contracted with Parsons and its domestic subsidiaries in 1982, to provide sales assistance for certain i work by Parsons on foreign projects. Commissions earned under this contract aggregating performed j $3,530,000 and $2,297,000 were recorded in 1983 and 1982, respectively. eN e•1 In connection with a foreign project being performed by others, International has agreed to provide 30,1983 , necessary operating funds and share in the profits or losses of the project. As of December no 1 operating funds were required on the project and no profits or losses were recorded. Based on manage- ment's review of the status of this project, no losses are presently anticipated under this agreement. Parsons has foreign operations, principally in the United Kingdom. The Company also performs work t 1 in various other foreign countries, through joint ventures with others which are not majority owned, and through related foreign offices maintained only to carry out specific projects.

Three customers accounted for 192%,15.3% and 12.1% of revenues in 1983.1Nvo customers accounted for 25.7% and 16.4% of revenues in 1982 and 21.2% and 18.8% of revenues in 1981. In addition, United in States governmental agencies in the aggregate accounted for 11.8%,112% and 12.0% of revenues 11 1983,1982 and 1981, respectively. i r I Note B— The separate consolidated financial statements of Parsons and International include the accounts l�Snnn raiy of of those companies and their wholly owned subsidiaries. Parsons proportionate interests in the Significant revenues and costs of 20 percent to 50 percent owned unincorporated joint ventures formed to Accounting carry out specific contracts are included in the statement of income; its interest in the related Policies assets and liabilities are likewise included in the appropriate balance sheet categories. Certain of 31 these joint ventures earn interest income generated through management of funds received on lump sum projects. Such income, which is an integral part of project results, is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Interests in joint ventures which are expected to be continuing and involved in an indeterminate number of contracts are carried on the equity basis. All significant inter -company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates market, and consist primarily of certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers'acceptances and other forms of short-term money market investments. Marketable securities are carried at cost, which approximates market, and consist primarily of preferred stocks held for long term investment. Income from engineering and construction contracts is recorded using the percentage of completion method of accounting based generally on the proportion of costs incurred to total estimated costs for each contract. Provisions for all anticipated losses on contracts, including disputes and other contingencies thereunder, are made when such amounts become apparent. Claims for additional contract compensation and provisions for anticipated losses not ultimately required are recognized in income when resolved. The volume of construction activity involved in the Parsons contracts varies from year to year causing fluctuations in costs and in related revenues, without necessarily producing a corresponding change in earnings. In accordance with industry practice, all amounts due from customers pursuant to contract provisions, including retentions which normally are payable upon final acceptance, are classified as current assets. Approximately $6,047,000 of these retained amounts at December 30,1983 is expected to be collected subsequent to 1984. Based on the payment schedules in the contracts, all of the unbilled receivables at December 30,1983 are expected to be billed during 1984. Depreciation of buildings and equipment is computed using the following methods and lives: buildings, including components thereof, straight-line, 7 to 45 years; furniture and other equipment, straight-line and sum -of -the -years digits, 3 to 10 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lives of the improvements or the leases. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss thereon is included in income. Provision for the income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign operations is made on an estimated basis at the time the earnings are included in income. Parsons funds pension costs accrued, which includes amortization of prior service costs, over approximately 40 years. The consolidated statement of changes in financial position is presented on a cash and short-term investments basis. A working capital format was presented in prior years. 1' la tit ii i I NoteC— Net earnings attributable to work carried out in foreign countries, including that of foreign j Fomign Activities subsidiaries, amounted to $15,800,000 in 1983,$17,933,000 in 1982, and $10,980,000 in 1981.

Resources Cash generated from operations are the Companies' principal source of financial resources. Such cash _ and Liquidity amounted to $30.5 million in 1983,$156.1 million in 1982 and $113.2 million in 1981, representing 92%, 100%, and 95%, respectively, of total cash provided. Cash and short term investments were $284.0 million at year end 1983, $309.2 million at year end 1982 and $199.1 million at year end 1981. Capital expenditures for property and equipment were $1.7 million, $6.0 million and $25.3 million in 1983,1982 and 1981, respectively, and are expected to be approximately $1 million in 1984. Results of Revenues and cost of contracts decreased in 1983 by 31% and 35% and increased in 1982 by 2% each Operations and in 1981 by 53% and 58%.The 1982 and 1981 increases resulted principally from the expanded levels l of activity on two major projects in 1982 and an additional project in 1981.The 1983 decrease reflects the reduced level of construction activity on two major projects. i Interest and dividend income decreased 6% in 1983 due to reduced yields on the Companies investment — portfolio while such income increased 19% in 1982 and 52% in 1981.These increases were attributable to an increase in the investment portfolio generated through funds provided by operations, and an increase in yields on such investments. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 5% in 1983, and 2% in 1982 and increased 16% in 1981.The 1981 increase resulted from costs of additional personnel and related occupancy costs f required to meet increasing proposal and administration activity and fluctuations in other indirect contract costs associated with changes in contract volume.The 1983 and 1982 decreases reflect the } reduced level of operations experienced by the companies during that period. 4 The volume of construction work performed in a given year may increase or decrease the amount of revenue recorded without producing a corresponding change in net income. Accordingly, net income increased 7% in 1983,15% in 1982 and 39% in 1981 while, as indicated above, revenue decreased 31% in 1983, and increased 2% in 1982 and 53% in 1981. The provision for income taxes was 47% in 1983 and 50% in 1982 and 1981. Information on the annual effective tax rates is set forth in Note E to the financial statements. The high rate of inflation which has been experienced worldwide in recent years has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations, since it performs contract work for customers mainly on a cost-plus basis. The above discussion pertains for the most part to the combined financial statements and the separate financial statements of The Parsons Corporation and Subsidiaries. In addition, RMP International, Ltd. commenced construction management services in 1980 which resulted in the first-time recognition of revenue of $1.2 million from an engineering contract. Costs and expenses of operations exceeded total income by $7,000 for the year. Revenues increased $64,000 and cost of contracts decreased $3.2 million in 1983. Each increased $7.7 million and $4.7 million in 1982 and $6.9 million and $6.8 million in 1981. – The 1982 and 1981 increases were principally due to an expanded level of activity on the above cons- truction management contract and an additional project awarded in 1981.The 1982 and 1983 revenues f — also included commission earned on a contract with Parsons to provide sales assistance [or certain i foreign projects.The 1983 revenues, exclusive of commissions, and cost of contracts were reduced due to completion of a project. 114t 39 OFFICERS THE PARSONS CORPORATION William E.

Ongoing efforts by contractors to reduce costs and a trend toward larger and more complicated contractor claims at the completion of projects have greatly expanded an owner's construction supervision requirements. These factors have made project administration, direction, and quality assurance of importance equal to design phase activities. Engineering -Science (ES) is assisting clients to expedite project completion, control construction costs, limit con- tractor claims, and assure proper operation of finished works by providing professional engineering services during construction. ES' approach to construction en- gineering relies on assembling highly competent staff members to perform only the specific services necessary to complement an owner's capabilities and move a project rapidly and efficiently from contractor selection, through construction, to successful start-up and operation. The benefits of ES' professional corC. fction engineering i services to an owner extend well beyond conformance with budgets, schedules, and design details. ES construction managers and resident engineers are also highly sensitive to claims issues. Thorough documentation begins early in a project; contractor inquiries and project problems are handled promptly and directly to avoid the potential for many claims which arise at the end of a project. The nature and degree of ES' involvement in the construction process varies from project to project depending on the client's capabilities, the type and complexity of the job, and the time available for its CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES Contract Administration Services • Assist in securing and analyzing construction bids or tenders • Recommend contractor selection for award • Aid in preparing formal contract documents • Review shop drawings, catalog cuts, laboratory reports and erection procedures for conformance with design • Prepare documents to resolve field problems • Report the status and quality of work to the owner • Observe and document Initial operation and performance tests • Assist with final inspection and resolution of any contractor disputes Resident Engineering Services • Provide contract administration services, plus • Inspect project construction for conformance to plans, specifications and design intent • Maintain construction progress records • Document potential contractor claims • Prepare record drawings • Review and approve construction change orders • Evaluate contractor payment requests • Assist contractor with construction details • Oversee construction site safety • Collect data for operation and maintenance documents • Conduct community relations activities for owner completion. Whei..: ..is project design is prepared by ES, construction staff members are integrated with the design team for review and correction of details which could impair the constructability or operability of the completed work. In every case, ES staff members are selected for supe- rior technical knowledge, demonstrated management capabilities, and construction experience in the specific type of project to be completed. The general service levels described below are always tailored to suit a particular job's available owner staffing, difficulty, and schedule. 1 5I Construction Management Services • Contract administration and resident engineering services, plus • Secure and analyze bids for each construction package and make recommendations for award • Procure and expedite major equipment and materials • Schedule and coordinate construction activities • Supervise construction contractor and subcontractors • Represent the owner with labor and the public • Prepare cost and progress reports • Assist in project start-up Turnkey Services • Develop complete project design • Procure equipment and materials and subcontracts • Supervise and expedite construction activities • Start-up and test facility operation Above, ES provided contract administration and resident ongi- neoring services during construction of this 72,300-m3ld (3.25-m9d) tertiary treatment facility near Houston, Texas. 1161 i r I 1 ,,03 u REPRESENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE l rt t, fio-cLcerAc�erAs'sGcerluruAoraira✓inl�bilipBl,GG(iBp(4�1G1i5/ each at f24,366'ml/d (YJ>MO'd/ MM(/d dBBbiMU b h'id nl crevefaad, AHIO. 2.

PARSONS- I PARSONS - r, I SECTION 2 PROPOSAL FOR PRIVATIZATION NOTE: This Section contains proprietary business information. It may be used by the City of Iowa City and its advisors for bid eval- uation only. Any other use or disclosure is strictly prohibit- ed. In response to the City's expressed interest, Parsons is pleased to offer in this section a privatization approach for the engineering, fi- nancing, construction and operation of wastewater collection and treat- ment facilities. UALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE PARSONS CORPORATION AND ITS J ENGINEERING -SCIENCE SUBSIDIARY Parsons The Parsons Corporation is a publicly traded (NYSE) company and the world's third largest engineering firm. Parsons has been responsible for engineering and managing some of the largest projects in the world, such as ARCO/EXXON Prudhoe Bay production facilities (at $8 billion con- i struction coat, the largest private program in the United States), and the City of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia (at $30 billion construction cost, the �— most comprehensive, technically sophisticated infrastructure project ' ever undertaken). Through its own and its subsidiaries' projects, Parsons has been involved in the design of wastewater treatment facili- ties for over 36 years. Parsons' extraordinarily large staff of profes- sional, technical and versatile support personnel offering the necessary disciplines for all types of engineering and construction management projects, has been coupled with strong financial resources (in-house and accessible) for ensuring stability and security to the clients it serves and the projects it undertakes. Thus, the firm is well-positioned to enter a privatization agreement, bringing the requisite technical and 2 Al PARSONS - financial capabilities and corporate commitment to deliver facilities and services needed by and of economic benefit to its clients. A brochure further describing Parsons is enclosed in the Appendix. i The latest annual report (for 1983) is also enclosed. Other relevant qualifications and information on experience is —, provided in Section 1. Engineering -science Engineering -Science (ES) is Parsons' subsidiary having knowledge, experience and p xp qualified technical staff for several important roles on the Iowa City project. These roles include engineering design review (and design, if applicable), contract administration and construction management, and contract operation and maintenance. With continued involvement in design of wastewater treatment pro- jects since its founding in 1947, ES has accumulated diversified experi- ence in virtually all known treatment processes, equipment and plant configurations representing past and current state of the wastewater treatment art. Also applicable to the Iowa city project is the techni- cal staff's familiarity with sludge conditioning and sludge management for land disposal. Treatment, plants designed by ES have been constructed and operated throughout the U.S, and overseas. Capacity ranges have been from less _ than 1 mgd to over 70 mgd. Treatment methods have varied from simple oxidation ponds through conventional and innovative biological processes (e.g., packed towers and activated sludge) to complex physical chemical processes. ES has been a pioneer in designing processes and facilities for wastewater reclamation and reuse. ES has also pioneered the use of i the pure -oxygen scheme for biological treatment. iThe firm's size - approximately 600 employees - and its office locations in Cleveland and 14 other U.S. cities and i — project offices in 14 foreign locations - are measures of its major involvement in the environmental engineering business. A more extensive description of the ES organization will be found in the Appendix., _ Other relevant qualifications and experience information is pro- vided in Section 1. tiPARSONS - I QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE PROJECT TEAM r The Project Team Approach ` The Project Team concept will be utilized in order to maximize ef- ficiency. In this concept, a team of professional and support personnel is dedicated and assigned to the project, reporting directly to the Pro- ject Manager. The Project Team will have access to the entire ES and _ Parsonsstaffs with specialized expertise that might be required for task assignments. The proposed organization chart is provided in Figure 2.1. The Project Team is comprised of individuals experienced in munici- pal wastewater treatment plant design, interceptor sewers design, con- struction services, operation and maintenance of wastewater facilities �. financial and legal disciplines. The Team was selected from the, ex- isting staff of Engineering -Science and other units within The Parsons —i Corporation. Biographical information on each of these individuals is presented in Section 1; however, it is repeated here for ease of refer- ence. J Roles of Key Personnel _ Financial and Legal Considerations Mr. R. M. Davidson, Senior Vice -President of The Parsons Corpora- tion, is responsible for privatization projects worldwide within The Parsons Corporation. As a recognized national expert in this area, Mr. Davidson will provide the legal and financial direction so necessary to the projects. Mr. Davidson, who has an engineering degree as well as graduate degrees in business and law, has provided overall direction for ! the privatization of the Chandler, Arizona and Auburn, Alabama projects -- as well as a number of other privatization projects. Principal -in -Charge �.J The Principal -in -Charge for this project will be Dr. A. W. Loven, Group Vice President. Dr. Loven's primary function on this project will be related to contractual, personnel, and financial aspects, and he will ensure that the Project Manager receives adequate support and resources i to perform the work on schedule and within budget. As a nationally recognized expert in municipal wastewater treatment, Dr. Loven will also contribute to the technical as well as the management portions of the 2-3 ■ PARSONS- ..: FIGURE 2.1 PROJECT ORGANIZATION CHART 4T CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA PRINCIPAL -IN -CHARGE FINANCIAL E LEGAL A.W.

Dr. Loven has had a key management role in the Auburn, Alabama privatization project. Project Manager A very important person on the Project Team is the Project Manager, Mr. M. A. Sweet. His function will be to assure that the work is pro- perly planned, organized, controlled and executed. As Project Manager, Mr. Sweet will have responsibility for the entire Project Team. His principal concern will be to assure that the work is done on time and within budget, and that it meets the high standards of quality demanded by Parsons and the City of Iowa City. In his role as Project Manager, Mr. Sweet will have the internal authority to establish work priorities within the Project Team. ES has made a commitment to provide the re- quired staff (on a full-time and/or part-time basis) to work under Mr. Sweet's supervision. Mr. Sweet's qualifications for managing this project are truly im- pressive. He is a civil/sanitary engineer having received a B.S. in Civil Engineering and a M.S. in Sanitary Engineering. Mr. Sweet holds a professional engineer's license in the State of Ohio, which he has held since 1972, and currently has applied for registration in Iowa, Pennsyl- vania and Indiana. During his 14 years with ES, he has advanced to Senior Associate and is one of Parsons' most experienced municipal wastewater Project Managers. Mr. Sweet has had key management roles in numerous design and construction projects including these very note- worthy facilities: the 50 mgd Cleveland Westerly physical/chemical ad- vanced wastewater treatment facility, the 4 mgd Meander Watershed Ad- vanced Wastewater Treatment Facility, (2 -stage pure oxygen with ozone disinfection), the 15 mgd/45 mgd peak Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant (Plastic Media Trickling Filter). Mr. Sweet is currently Assis- tant Project Director on the City of Youngstown's $50 million 35 mgd/90 mgd peak wastewater treatment plant (also a Plastic Media Trickling Fil- ter) responsible for all contractural and administrative functions espe- cially liaison with regulatory agencies such as the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Technical Director It is our policy to assign a Technical Director for every project. The Technical Director's responsibilities are to (1) provide the Project 2-5 IM PARSONS - Manager with sophisticated input to help him resolve important technical issues, and (2) coordinate project reviews at key points to ensure that the work meets Parsons' high standards for technical excellence. Mr. G. E. Strudgeon, as Technical Director, will bring to the Pro- ject Team the benefit of his 30 years of experience in the design, manufacture and operation of wastewater treatment process equipment. Project Staff Project Engineers. The project engineering activities will be supervised by Mr. D. J. Hanna (Treatment Plant) and Mr. R. L. Thoem (Sewers). Mr. Hanna is a mechanical/environmental engineer, who has over 11 years of progressive experience with technical and managerial responsibilities in the design 'and construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities. Past experience as both a project engineer and as an engineering manager have yielded projects that met client needs within the allocated budget and schedule. Mr. Hanna's experience as a design engineer has been greatly aided by his hands-on exposure to design and operation of mechanical equipment in the marine industry. Typical design projects in wastewater treatment have included innovative design features such as: (a) Redesign of the solids handling system for a 10 mgd pure oxygen advanced wastewater treatment plant for conversion to a belt filter press system, during construction, resulted in a negotiated net credit to the owner with pro- jected energy savings; (b) Design and construction of a secondary waste- water treatment plant providing year-round nitrification, with bids taken within 19 of the estimate and construction completed within 29 above the construction bid price. Innovative design features included: variable influent flow using constant speed pumps for operability and power savings, an operable sludge drying bed enclosure suitable for year-round use in a severe climate, a consolidated pumping and piping complex to simplify operations and reduce construction costs, and reuse of all existing plant facilities; (c) Construction manager of a second- ary wastewater treatment plant during which a cycling air supply was added resulting in plant capability to provide biological nitrification/ denitrification in a single sludge system resulting in 109 or more over- all power savings during operations. Innovative features included a programmable timing function on a centrifugal blower air supply systems IW r r PARSON5- (d) Design of pumping systems including wastewater, sludge,lime wastes, and an unusually corrosive industrial waste. Mr. Hanna was a reviewer on the Sludge Pumping portion of the MSU Conference "Pump Station Design for the Practicing Engineer." Mr. Hanna is registered in New York (6 years) and Ohio (1 year). Mr. R. L. Thoem is an environmental engineer and a registered P.E. in Iowa and several other states. He worked and lived in Iowa for many years as Environmental Engineering Department Head at Stanley Consul- tants and is very familiar with the local facilities, site conditions, and the specific needs facing Iowa City. Mr. Thoem has been involved with several projects for the University of Iowa and The Iowa Department of Environmental Quality. He has over 20 years of professional techni- cal and management experience including municipal interceptor sewer and treatment facilities ranging in size from less than 1 mgd to 120 mgd. Several typical projects which indicate Mr. Thoem's qualification's for this project are as follows: (1) Preliminary engineering including pro- cess developing and cost analysis for expansion of a 36 mgd advanced wastewater treatment plant to 54 mgd (Fairfax County, VA); (2) Facility planning projects for 36 mgd and 120 mgd treatment plants for the City of Atlanta. These included evaluation of a wide range of alternatives for relief sewer lines and treatment process upgrading. The treatment plant recommendations on these projects included abandoning the existing activated sludge processes and replacing them with fixed -film processes (bio discs and oxidation towers). The relief sewers were required to alleviate infiltration/inflow problems and to remove a moratorium on sewer connections; (3) Waste load allocation studies and sludge manage- ment study for Iowa DEQ; and solid waste resource recovery studies for the University of Iowa, most recently the evaluation which considered use of the present Iowa City Wastewater Treatment Plant site. Construction Services. Construction services will be supervised by Mr. G. J. Melle. Mr. Melle will also participate in the design review phase to assure that the facilities, as designed, can be constructed with a minimum of difficulty and cost. This involvement during the design phase, plus his supervision of construction services, will assure that the project is constructed on schedule. As a resident engineer/ project manager with ES, Mr. Melle has been responsible for contract 2-7 11w s� r PARSONS - administration, review of shop drawings and test results, field inspec- 7 tion, evaluation of requests for payment, and preparation of record j "' drawings for construction of a 50 mgd advanced wastewater treatment facility and 300 mgd stormwater treatment facility. LI Operations and Maintenance. Start-up, operator training and other A operation and maintenance activities well be supervised by Mr. C. J. Baylot. Mr. Baylot has over 25 years' experience in hands-on operation of wastewater treatment facilities. During this time, he has started up 4 i.t dozens of facilities, supervised the operation and maintenance of sever- al major wastewater treatment facilities, and has gained a national reputation for his expertise in this area. In addition to direct super- vision of start-up and training activities, Mr. Baylot will also have a key role during the design phase as an advisor and reviewer to assure -- that the facilities will be designed with the operation and maintenance functions in mind. This involvement in the design and start-up phases will ensure that the plant will be easy to operate and maintain. Mr. Baylot is a licensed operator in the State of Iowa. APPROACH TO THE PROJECT i Parsons has prepared a professional services privatization approach to this project which we believe will provide the most cost-effective method to finance, construct, operate, and maintain the treatment plant and interceptor sewers. Our approach will provide several additional advantages, as well and is described in a task -wise fashion as follows: Task 1 - Review Previously Developed Plans and Develop Applicable Alternatives Parsons' subsidiary, Engineering -Science will review the Veenstra & Kimm 1979 Sanitary Sewerage System Facilities Plan, the Richard Dague & J.

Kimm, July 1983 Proposal for Phased Development Wastewater Collec- tion and Treatment, Iowa City, Iowa, the Arthur Young, October 1983, Privatization Feasibility Study and any other studies or correspondence concerning the sewerage system. I Parsons recognizes that the City must adapt the most cost effective and environmentally sound solution to its problems. The principal problems are (1) overloaded sewers causing flooding, (2) overloaded - existing plant causing pollution in the river, (3) age, location and 2-8 1l(al I a available land for expansion of the existing plant, (4) newly developing areas requiring sewers, (5) the recently adopted City Council sewer mor- atorium and (6) limitations of federal grant funds for project develop- ment. With the severe curtailment of the EPA construction grant program, the City faces a serious financial problem in solving the above describ- ed problems. Alternatives with realistic cost estimates must be evalu- ated as it is obvious that a phased program must be adopted. The sewer system evaluation study which outlined the infiltration/inflow problem must be reviewed. ES has had significant experience with the problems of old "land bound" plants and the development of acceptable expansion plans. This alternative will be evaluated along with the sewer system rerouting and repair which is required to correct the flooding problem. The recent Dague/Kimm report is an intriguing overall solution. ES has had significant recent experience with packed towers and share in the feeling that this process may offer the most promise for a new plant solution for Iowa City. This alternative will be further studied with a more detailed cost estimate. The financial alternatives will be developed along with a firm cost formula for privatization. Parsons/ES has significant recent experience in financial solutions to projects in the same range of costs. The final report will (7) present the alternatives for treatment, transport and rehabilitation in a prioritized listing which includes a phased program to solve the technical problems and evaluate the various financial solutions available to the City, and (2) present a privatiza- tion approach which will cost-effectively solve the critical flooding and growth restriction problems faced by the City. Task 2 - Engineering Review and Analysis Following the acceptance of Task 1 by the City and their decision to proceed with implementation of the phased program, ES will review the current plans and specifications prepared by Veenstra & Kimm and confirm the evaluations that led to the current concept. This review will in- clude a cost effectiveness analysis including both capital and operating costs. 2-9 110 ■ r PARSONS - In addition to costs factors to be considered are process perfor- mance and ability to meet permit requirements, constructability, opera- bility, and sludge handling and disposal considerations. We are famil- iar with virtually all unit processes used in wastewater treatment and can apply our considerable in-house expertise for this analysis. ES has complete in-house engineering design capability which can be E.. brought to bear should substantial redesign become necessary. Task 3 - Perform Necessary Design Modifications and Prepare Construction I�1 i { Bid Documents i., It is possible that revisions to the plans and specifications may ! be required to satisfy the final alternative selected by the City. This _ may be particularly important for an effective staged program. Final plans and specifications must be submitted to the State of Iowa Department of Environmental Quality for review and approval. This approval must be obtained prior to construction. We would require Veenstra & Kimn to seal their plans and specifications and provide ASCE Manual 45 "Basic Services" during construction for those facilities designed by them. Parsons will prepare the bid documents for advertising to qualified contractors. The interceptor sewers may be broken into several bid packages to attract local contractors and formatted in a logical bid schedule. This will allow one or more contractors to bid on all or on only specific packages. This approach has been successful in attracting smaller local contractors and therefore significantly reducing the over- i — all cost of constructing the sewers. Only contractors mutually approved by the City and Parsons will be invited to bid. i i Construction of the treatment plant would be advertised on a state- wide basis which would give the local contractors in their various con- struction specialties an equal starting place for competitive bidding. It is expected that this size plant would attract contractors statewide and would provide the City with the lowest responsible bid. Task 4 - Prepare Engineer's Cost Estimate An engineer's current construction cost estimate will be prepared based upon the final detailed plans and specifications. This will permit preparation of a reliable estimate of the financial service fee 2-10 1W PARSONS - prior to award of construction bid(s). The City may at its option wish to have this estimate reviewed by consultants of its choice. Additionally, a definitive first-year 0&M cost estimate based upon the final design will be made prior to construction bidding. Task 5 - Bid Construction Parson will advertise, conduct prebid meetings, receive bids, review bids and award construction contract(s). The lowest responsible construction bids can thus be obtained from qualified contractors. r.a Task 6 - Provide Construction Phase and Startup Services Parsons will provide necessary construction phase services to aassure timely, on budget and efficient completion of construction. These services will include construction management and/or inspection services b Parsons y personnel. Record drawings will be prepared. O&M _ manuals, startup and operating procedures and acceptance tests will be prepared. Task 7 - Operation and Maintenance Services Parsons will provide operation and maintenance services for the plant and interceptor sewers included as part of this project. Con- sideration will be given, within the bounds set by tax policy, to con- tract with the City for the sewer system 0&M. It will be the responsi- bility of Parsons to provide trained personnel and meet all NPDES re- quirements. J Task B - Provide Program Management Parsons will provide the long-term management for the overall project from engineering review through construction and 20-25 year !I ownership and operation period. The Parsons approach provides for a single party with great financial stability and capability to be re- ,..i sponsible to the City for all aspects of the project. Under this con- tractual umbrella, the City could negotiate with Parsons on an extension I to the then existing contract to allow for the design, construction, ownership and operation of additional facilities. Parsons will promote a close professional working relationship with the University of Iowa. The existing plant has been important as a student training facility. Additionally, we would be interested in y discussing a possible co-op program in which students could gain addi- tional valuable work experience in the field of wastewater treatment. 2-11 NO ■ 11 I l.. PARSONS - FINANCIAL PLAN Financing Method Parsons proposes to provide 100 percent financing by Industrial Revenue Bonds without using or impairing the credit of the City. Par- sons is extremely stable and financially strong as detailed in the Annual Report in the Appendix and other information provided earlier in this Section 1. Service Fee The Service Fee will be composed of the sum of (1) the Base Service Fee and (2) the Operation and Maintenance Fee. Base Service Fee The Base Service Fee will be a mutually agreed amount per year per million dollars of total project cost. Operation & Maintenance Fee The annual Operation and Maintenance Fee will be either (1) the actual cost plus a fee or (2) a fixed, negotiated fee subject to renego- tiation at periodic intervals. Costs will include all subcontracts, chemicals, parts, electricity and labor required to operate and maintain the plant and pipeline facilities. In addition, a repair and replacement fund in the amount of $2 million would be established gradually by the City to provide capital for expenses greater than $5,000 per occurrence. The cost of such items would be treated as if they were normal O&M expenses, except that the advance approval of the City would be required for any item covered. The City would invest these funds for income and maintain ownership and control. Costs for Engineering Services Fees for engineering design and review services and resident engi- neering will be calculated based on direct labor cost times a multiplier plus other out-of-pocket and direct expenses at cost. This amount covers compensation for all labor costs including direct wages and salaries, payroll and insurance, welfare benefits, overhead and general and administrative expense. A not -to -exceed amount for these fees will be established in agreement with the City at the beginning of the pro- ject. 2-12 01 ■: PARSONS - Costs for Construction Services For construction services, including construction management and inspection, the fee will be calculated based on direct labor cost times a multiplier plus other out-of-pocket and direct expenses at cost. This amount covers compensation for all labor costs including direct wages and salaries, payroll and insurance, welfare benefits, overhead, and general and administrative expense. PROJECT SCHEDULE The overall schedule proposed for implementation of the Iowa City Project is presented in Figure 2.2. Below is a brief discussion of the scheduling of the major project tasks. We estimate that we can bring the facilities on line within 35 months, as delineated below, based upon the assumptions and qualifica- tions noted herein. It should be pointed out, however, that this sched- ule might be shortened, if the City should desire, by a "fast track" approach. Months 0-2 Task 1a - Review Previously Developed Plans This activity will include a detailed review of the various reports previously prepared by Veenstra & Kimm, Dr. Dague and any other informa- tion available. The primary approach is to work with Dr. Dague and Mr. Kimm and evaluate all of the previous alternatives. Months 3-5 Task 1b - Develop Alternative Plans with Appropriate Financial Reviews This activity will identify additional alternative plans, if appli- cable, especially directed to phased construction. A financial evalua- tion, including a suggested implementation plan, will be presented in a final report. Month 6 Task 1c - City Evaluation and Decision on Future Direction During this period, Parsons will work with the City in presenting the most cost effective environmentally sound alternative. 2-13 ; RE DE CI' RE PEI PRI BII PRI ESI PR( STI CIT i i . I PARSONS- Months 7-9 Task 2 - Review Plant Design, Conduct Value Engineering (VE) Analysis and Prepare Economic Analysis work on these activities will be coordinated with Veenstra & Kimm and the City, assuming prompt reviews and approvals by the City and regulatory authorities. The primary objective will be to determine the cost-effectiveness and performance required from the proposed treatment facilities and to outline the basis for any desired changes. Months. 10-14 Task 3 - Perform Necessary Design Modifications and Prepare Bid Documents This activity will include making any changes to the construction contract documents (plans and specifications) that are determined desir- able from the previous design/VE/economic analyses. At the conclusion, revised plans and specifications will be sent to the State regulatory agency, and their expeditious review and approval will be solicited. Month 14 Task 4 - Prepare Construction Cost Estimate An engineer's estimate of the construction cost will be prepared during the time period that the State is reviewing the design modifica- tions. This activity will be coordinated with Veenstra and Kimm to fully utilize their previous work efforts in this area. Months 14-16 Task 5 - Bid and Award Construction Contracts As soon as the State completes its review of the revised construc- tion documents, the project will be advertised for competitive bidding. A 4 to 6 week bidding period will be allowed and upon receipt of bids a tabulation and evaluation will be prepared. A construction contract will be awarded by the end of Month 14, after suitable reviews by the City have taken place. Months 16-35 Task 6 - Provide Construction and Start-up Services This construction schedule is based upon the current plant design and phased construction; however, any changes resulting from the 2-15 1161 ; ■ ■ ! RARSONS- development of alternative plans could shorten or lengthen this time span. The time of year that construction is begun can also affect the construction period. During project construction a number of tasks may be undertaken including construction management, construction inspection and resident engineering to ensure that contract documents are followed; preparation of an operation and maintenance (O&M) manual to provide guidance to the O&M contractor; preparation of the contract documents that will be uti- lized to provide for plant operation and management; testing of instal- led equipment; preliminary plant start-up; and final .start-up and test- ing. Months 31-35 Task 7 - Establish Operation and Maintenance Services Requirements The 0&M requirements will be established about two months before the end of construction. A program rtir operating and managing the plant will be completed near the end of the plant start-up testing period to enable timely initiation of the 0&M operations. Following Month 35 Task 8 - Provide Program Management Parsons will be responsible for overall management to ensure that the plant performance is at the levels required. Parsons will provide the overall management of the plant for a stipulated period. As shown in the bar chart schedule,, close coordination with the City and State will take place throughout the approximately 35 month design -construction -start-up program for the treatment plant. Parsons will make every effort to expedite all coordination efforts to minimize the overall implementation time frame.

Washington Street 7 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 I i _ Reference: Iowa City Wastewater Plan Alternative Study I Dear Mr. Berlin: Metcalf & Eddy is pleased to submit these qualifications and proposal for reviewing Iowa City's wastewater program and developing alternative construction proposals. This submittal is made in response to your request J dated April 10, 1984. We have carefully reviewed the information contained in the Request for Proposal, Parts 2 and 3 of the City's Facility Plan, The Arthur Young and Company Privatization Report, and the proposed four phase development plan prepared by Dr. Dague and Mr. Rimm, to prepare the preliminary approach outlined under Question 7 for your study. In addition, team members have met twice with City staff and have toured the existing plant twice to obtain first hand knowledge of the existing conditions. The requested information contained herein has been developed to be brief, concise and pertinent to your project. It illustrates that the Metcalf & Eddy team -- has the resources, capability and experience to successfully address those project issues which are critical to the City of Iowa City. Metcalf & Eddy has assembled a uniquely experienced team to prepare the Iowa City wastewater plan alternative. Each team member has specific project related experience which we feel is extremely difficult to duplicate by other firms. The team consists of Metcalf & Eddy, Inc. as the lead team member, Arthur Young & Company and Fluor. Metcalf & Eddy is the leading authority in both research and development and the design of pollution abatement systems. Metcalf & Eddy has designed over 175 wastewater treatment plants covering a wide range of size and degree of complexities. We have over 75 years of experience in the study, design, construction, start-up, and operation of wastewater collection treatment systems. Through our involvement in current projects, Metcalf & Eddy is thoroughly familiar with personnel and requirements of the State of Iowa IDWAWM and U.S. EPA Region VII.

Berlin, L_cy Manager May 22, 1984 2 Arthur Young 6 Company, an international public accounting, auditing and consulting firm, provides professional services to a wide variety of clients. Their firm is organized on a national basis with over 70 offices in major metropolitan areas. Arthur Young a Company offers clients professional — services in various areas of expertise including system planning and development, alternative financing studies, feasibility studies, organizational planning, financial systems, accounting and cost systems and special cost analysis. Arthur Young recently completed a privatization study for the City of Iowa City for wastewater improvements. Fluor was founded in 1890 as a general construction company. As it grew during the years it began to emphasis design and construction. Fluor is engaged on a world-wide basis in providing a variety of services to municipal, energy, natural resource, industrial, commercial and utility clients. Fluor brings a wealth of construction experience to the project team, gained during involvement in thousands of major construction projects in recent years. The project approach outlined under Question 7 of the submittal entails a - three phase effort. This effort consists of technical investigation of several alternative wastewater collection and treatment technologies, an in- depth analysis of innovative construction techniques to reduce the construction costs of the more promising alternatives, and a detailed financial evaluation of the selected alternative to assess the impact of �I various funding methods. Although we have outlined a specific alternative which we believe is promising, the project team is entering this assignment i with an open mind. We will investigate all alternatives available and develop the best long term alternative for the City's wastewater needs at the lowest possible cost. Table 1 provides the specific information on key personnel requested in your letter dated April 10, 1984. The percent of time shown on Table 1 indicates the anticipated effort required by each individual, given our current understanding of the project. Should your review of our proposal raise any questions, we will be available to respond upon request. We also look forward to the opportunity of interviewing with your staff.

Data obtained during a meeting on May 2, 1984 with Mr. Charles Schmadeke, Director of Public Works, and Mr. Harry Boren, Superintendent of Pollution Control, in addition to discussions with representatives of the Iowa Department of Water, Air and Waste Management and information received during the pre -proposal conference on May 9, 1984, have been combined with the detailed background knowledge obtained by Arthur Young & Company during their previous association with the City. This information has been used in conjunction with a thorough review of the City's request for qualifications/proposals, Parts 2 and 3 of the City's Facility Plan, the Arthur Young & Company "privatization" report, and the proposed four phase development plan prepared by Dr. Dague and Mr. Rimm, to de+elop a preliminary approach for the Iowa City project. The approach of the project team entails a three phase effort consisting of a ti technical investigation of several alternative wastewater collection and treatment technologies, an in-depth analysis of innovative construction techniques to reduce the construction cost of the more promising alternatives, and a detailed financial evaluation of the selected alternatives to assess the impact of various funding methods. The objective of this evaluation would be Iito develop the best long term solution for the City's wastewater needs at the ., lowest cost. -i Metcalf & Eddy would be responsible for performing the technical investigation of alternative wastewater collection and treatment technologies. The first step in this investigation would be a review of the population projections and wastewater flow and load estimates contained in the facility plan. The purpose of this review would be to insure that sufficient treatment capacity is provided for the anticipated growth of the City, but minimize the construction of significant excess capacity until it is needed. The refined population projections and estimates of wastewater flows and loads will then be utilized to assess the potential of alternative collection and treatment technologies. During the preparation of this proposal, Metcalf & Eddy investigated the possibility of upgrading and expanding the existing - treatment plant on the present site to fulfill the city's wastewater treatment requirements for the 20 year planning period. We believe the existing treatment plant site is the logical location for future wastewater treatment given the existing sewer network and flow patterns. While the existing plant site may appear to be limited in area, we have conducted preliminary investigations that indicate a combination of additional conventional _ treatment processes, coupled with mechanical sludge handling facilities and an innovative land treatment system for stormwater flows, may provide sufficient capacity at the existing site for the planning period. -ls- lel r In addition, we have considered the possibility that the initial construction cost of the interceptor system improvements could be reduced by delaying implementation of the proposed southeast interceptor sewer. While other factors may govern this decision, e.g., economic growth and political considerations, we believe it is technically feasible and economically reasonable to construct a pump station and force main at the proposed starting point of this interceptor and pump the wastewater directly west to the existing treatment plant site. It is also possible that a reorganization of implementation priorities may be - justified. A review of the report prepared by Dague and Rimm indicates that most of the sanitary sewer rehabilitation and interceptor sewer construction is currently scheduled for the later portions of the phased program. We concur with the comment in the report that it is unlikely these elements will be grant eligible even if the construction grants program is continued. Given the current basement flooding problems, and the minimal potential for grant assistance, it appears beneficial to implement these improvements earlier in the program. obviously, sufficient treatment capacity must be provided to handle the increased flaw rates; however, it would be in the City's best interests to protect potential grant eligibility, i.e., the treatment facility, as long as possible. Once all feasible wastewater collection and treatment alternatives are reviewed for technical merit, we would discuss the alternatives with the City and select the most promising alternatives for further evaluation. Ir. Fluor Corporation will be involved in construction management oversight/review and investigating potential cost-saving measures for the implementation of the _ most promising alternatives. These measures would include rehabilitation techniques for the expansion and upgrading of the existing facilities as well as innovative construction techniques for the new treatment processes and collection/interceptor system improvements. Fluor will also prepare and evaluate construction cost estimates. Fluor personnel have special knowledge of current area construction costs, current wastewater treatment system technologies and construction methods. The cost estimate will be reviewed for: . Accuracy . Construction market considerations . Cash flow and cost of money . Current competitive market . Inflation considerations . Compatibility with construction schedule . Completeness of design package . Conformity with established estimating parameters . Construction equipment prices or rental rates . Contractor staffing . Determination of contractor overheads, profits and contingency . Estimate format and consistency to the client's work breakdown schedule -16- 1161 Labor and material unit prices . Production rates . Accuracy of quantity take -off from the final design drawings . Work sequence and applicable schedule constraints -- A Construction Management plan will be developed that represents the most effective construction approach and schedule for cost savings and constructibility recommendations developed during the evaluation phase. This plan will incoporate the optimum blend of innovative construction -- technique, contracting strategy and funding approaches. The final alternative(s) which are selected by Iowa City as being cost- effective, environmentally sound and implementable will then undergo a detailed financial analysis by Arthur Young. The alternatives will be — evaluated from both a municipal and private perspective. The financial creativity which Arthur Young brings to this project, based on _ their experience and expertise, will allow for the user charges to be the lowest attainable for a given alternative. Some specific avenues of financial creativity that would be explored would include, but not be limited to: . Use of tax-exempt financing vehicles. . Evaluation of various privatization approaches. . Exploration of the potential for deferral of debt payments (both interest and principal), in the early years while the number of users I is lowest. -I Exploration of rate reduction funds. Issuance of bonds up to the legal maximum in an amount greater than needed. These excess funds can be invested with the interest earned being used for rate subsidy. This approach would leave the principal amount intact for emergency uses or the re -purchase of the facility under a privatization approach. • Evaluation of short and long term financing vehicles. . Evaluate potential, and impact of, selling all or portions of the existing facility to the private sector. Arthur Young envisions meeting with the City's investment bankers and bond counsel to discuss financing requirements and financing assumptions to be utilized in the analysis. A meeting will also be held with Iowa City to discuss the results of the financial analysis to ensure a complete understanding and answer any questions. With the knowledge that privatization approaches will be evaluated in the study, Arthur Young proposes to conduct a privatization workshop in the initial phase of the project. By doing this in advance of the City's -17- 1161 evaluation of alternatives, it is envisioned that the City's potential concerns regarding this approach can be greatly minimized. This will enable the City to objectively evaluate this approach. The workshop will be structured towards providing a clear understanding of the — concept while addressing all of the City's concerns. As Arthur Young is the recognized leader in the field of privatization our experience uniquely qualifies us to undertake this task. Arthur Young would also be in a position to put Iowa City officials in contact — with municipal officials in other communities where privatization approaches are being implemented. By opening these lines of communication, Iowa City will be able to ascertain the concerns experienced by others and how they were eliminated or greatly minimized. Finally, under a privatization approach, Arthur Young would not only explore the cost savings but also the additional costs that a privatization transaction may incur, i.e., oversight program. In addition, an exploration will be made as to incorporating the City's costs of implementing a privatization transaction into the project financing. By doing so, the City will not be burdened with "out-of-pocket" expenses for their legal, engineering and financial advisory services. In summary, preliminary investigations conducted by the project team indicate there are several potential alternatives that are technically sound and economically feasible for implementation in Iowa City. The project team will not limit their investigations to a single technical alternative, such as a new treatment plant site, nor to a specific funding option such as privatization of the wastewater operation. The team will carefully and objectively consider all alternatives, both from a technical and economic standpoint, and work closely with the City staff and elected officials to develop an overall plan that is environmentally sound, implementable, achieves the required technical objectives, and results in the minimum economic impact to all users of the City's wastewater collection and treatment system. It must be stressed that the project team will meet with City officials throughout the study period to provide status reports and ensure complete understanding of the project work. QUESTION 8 - MINORITY BUSINESS AND WOMAN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES PARTICIPATION While none of the team members for this project are defined as a minority or women's business enterprise, members of the team have worked with such business enterprises on numerous projects in the past. In particular, Metcalf 6 Eddy has developed working relationships with several qualified minority/women's business enterprises as a result of involvement in numerous projects funded under the EPA Construction Grants Program. The previous working relationships developed by Metcalf s Eddy and other team members would -18- 101 be utilized to retain the services of qualified and experienced minority or women's business enterprises if the City prefers that such enterprises be involved in the project. QUESTION 9 — PRIVATIZATION EXPERIENCE Arthur Young and Metcalf & Eddy have worked together on privatization projects in the recent past. Table 6 summarizes some of this experience.

Goldman and Bruce Greenwald Privatization, public-private partnerships to meet infrastructure needs, is an emerging trend for financing the construction of public works projects. Given the enormous need for facilities and the reductions in federal grant programs, privatization, which allows the public sector to take advantage of private sector construction efficiencies and allows the private sector to lake advantage of tax benefits, is a viable financing alternative. A properly struc- tured privatization transaction will result in a business opportunity for the private sector and allow the public sector to share the economic benefits through lower user fees, without com- promising the public's interests. The cost of meeting the nation's infrastructure needs hes been estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Decreased federal funding and limited debt capacity have left many communities unable to construct needed facilities. To engineers, contrac- tors, equipment manufacturers and others, this has meant stalled projects and cancelled orders. Privatization may provide a brighter future. The advantages of privatization draw upon the private sector's involvement in financing, design, construction, ownership and/or operation of facilities. The benefits of financing and ownership enable a taxpaying entity to be eligible for various tax benefits. These benefits, which must be con- sidered on a site-specific basis, include investment and energy tax credits, deductibility of interest and accelerated depreciation. Recent changes to the tax law allow equipment and machinery to be depreciated over five years and structures over 15 years, approximately half the time previously allow- ed. Under certain circumstances, privatization tran- sections can be structured so that Industrial Development Bonds (IDBS) can be used to finance 80.90 percent of the total project cost. Under cur- rent law, the use of IDBS for water, wastewater and waste -to -energy projects is given preferential treat- ment. Because the private sector can share the sav- ings by providing lower user fees, the community benefits as wall. Other advantages for both sides of the privatiza- tion partnership are those associated with design and construction of the facility. Unlike federal grant programs with their excessive requirements, privatization allows flexibility in project sizing and design. Time and cost savings are significant because federal and state regulatory involvement is minimized and certain public procurement regula- tions avoided. Savings due to these factors may often exceed 20 percent of the estimated project cost. Operation by the private sector may also lower costs and provide additional benefits. In many cases the private sector can operate facilities more effi- ciently than public agencies. Some communities have found it difficult to attract and maintain highly technical and well-trained operators.

Communities have already turned to the private sector for solid waste collection and disposal, resource recovery, street maintenance and construction, hospital construc- tion and operation, and public transit. And much more recently, there has been an increasing amount of attention given to privatization of wastewater treatment. From the experience of some of the communities that have already turned to the private sector, it has become apparent that communities wishing to take a privatization approach must do so in an orderly and disciplined manner. To assist local communities in this effort, a methodology hes been developed. The approach, which incorporates working with a com- munity's existing engineering, legal and financial advisors as a means of drawing upon existing studies and insights into the current local situation, is comprised of four phases: analysis, decision- making, vendor procurement and implementation. The privatization analysis is performed to deter- mine the feasibility of privatization for a specific project with respect to a specific community.

Given the nation's infrastructure needs and the decline in federally funded programs, the privatiza- tion concept may make significant headway in meeting some of those needs. The private sector can make privatization happen in a number of ways. Some private firms will be involved in the financing, while others will have the opportunity to assist ex- isting and potential municipal clients in financing needed facilities by making these clients aware of the privatization concept. Privatization may not be the answer for all of our infrastructure needs, but public-private pnrtnerships must be forged to capitalize on the privatization opportunities that do exist. Harvey I.

The concept is based on the ability of the private sector to take advantage of tax benefits, con- struction efficiencies, and time savings realized when undertaking projects. Sharing these advantages with the public sector would result in lower user charges; learning about privatization will allow consulting engineers to provide their clients with the means to jump the financ- ing hurdles that have stalled projects and cancelled or- ders. Because privatization requires the involvement of engineers, contractors, management consultants, the fi- nancial community, and local officials, cooperation and a full understanding of the role played by each is essen- tial to ensuring the success of such a project The economics of privatization are based on private sector financing, design, construction, and ownership and/or operation of facilities. Undercurrent tax law, a tax- paying owner of a facility may be eligible for Investment and energy tax credits, interest deductions, and acceler- ated depreciation. Recent changes in the tax law allow equipment and machinery to be depreciated over five years and structures over 15 years, approximately one- half the time previously allowed. Private financing is most attractive for equipment in- tensive technologies such as water, wastewater, and re- source recovery facilities. But private sector financing for parking garages, criminal justice facilities, and build - Ings can be economically viable also, especially when compared to conventional financing approaches. In some cases, industrial revenue bonds can be used to help finance a project, providing the private sector firm with an Interest rate lower than it could obtain otherwise. Federal grant programs, which served as sources of needed capital in the past, always were attached to a web of rules and regulations. Private financing will allow flexi- bility In sizing and procurement And savings due to minimized Federal and state regulatory Involvement may exceed 30% of the estimated project cost Accord - Mr. Goldman is a partner and Ms. Mokuuos a consul- tant withArtllurYoung E Co., an accounting, tax, and management consulting fine in New York Cilg Ing to studies conducted by Arthur Young, combining construction savings with tax benefits may result in proj- ect cost reductions of approximately 40 to 60% as com- pared with a publicly funded and publicly owned project Adding private operation can mean additional sav- ings. An increasing number of communities are finding that the private sector can provide essential services such as water and wastewater treatment, solid waste dis- posal, street maintenance, public transit, and resource recovery more efficiently than the public sector. The rea- son: When the private sector becomes involved, more efficient operation, economies of scale, and better work- er incentives are combined to meet the profit incentive. The Time Is Now Within the last 18 months, privatization of wastewater treatment has received an increasing amount of atten- tion. The Environmental Protection Agency reported in a 1982 survey that the nation's need for treatment sys- tems through the year 2000 is over $82 billion. Add to this reductions in the Construction Grants Program that have left many states looking for alternatives for financ- ing needed facilities. New Jersey, for one, estimates that out of its current need for $10.2 billion to repair its infrastructure, $2A billion Is needed for wastewater treatment construction. Governor Kean — upon releasing the State's well-publi- cized Infrastructure Bank proposal in the Governors In- frastructure Bank Briefing Book— noted that privatiza- tion was to be "promoted wherever possible to reduce demand for public funds." It comes as no surprise then that Camden County, New Jersey, formally advertised a request for qualifica- tions for financing, constructing, owning, and operating approximately $150 million In wastewater treatment fa- cilities. The advertisement elicited 19 responses from private sectorgroups interested In pursuing the opportu- nity.

Regulatory interfacing is addressed. ■ Financial alternatives are surveyed. Although all seven study areas are im- portant,nnancial analysis is the key to private financing. A computer model can be used to perform the analysis. For example, once a consultant estimates project cost; percentages of five and 15 - year depreciation; tax and interest rates; construction, operation, and maintenance savings; and the length of the financing period, the model can generate yearly cash Flows and expected after-tax returns to the private sector owner/operator. In addition, user fees under the new concept can be compared to a more traditional mu- nicipal financing approach. The economics of private financing depend upon the type of relationship formed between the municipality and the private sector firm. Although there are a number of ways to structure a transaction, three basic ones pre- vail: sale/leaseback, a sale with operating contract, and a full service approach sometimes referred to as a turnkey approach. In the first two, the facility is built by the mu- nicipality or constructed under public bidding laws be- fore the private sector gets involved in an ownership role. In the third approach, private sector construction sav- ings can be incorporated into the transaction. The benefits afforded the sale/lease form of private financing, however, may be short-lived. A recently intro- duced House bill, designed to curtail abuses under the current law, would reduce the accelerated depreciation available for tax-exempt financing in leaseback transac- tions. The bill has come under attack by several industry trade groups who feel leaseback financing is essential for facilities such as water and wastewater treatment plants. Choosing the Alternative Once the seven areas have been addressed and altema- tives for each developed, the municipality can proceed to the second phase, the decision-making process. It is then that the community decides which of the altema- tives is consistent with specific goals and objectives. At this juncture, it also must begin addressing the legal as- pects of the transaction and the degree of oversight re- sponsibility to be exerted over the project The third stage is vendor procurement Once privati- zation is deemed a viable altemative, a qualified private sector firm Is selected to carry out the project A munici- pality may choose to negotiate the procurement with one or two private sector firms of Its choice. However, the process more likely will take the form of competitive procurement which will require a request for proposals, formal advertising, a bidders' conference, and evalua- 00A tion of proposals before contract negoti- ations can be held. The process may be simplified by pre -qualifying firms and re- questing proposals only from those firms that are deemed most qualified by the municipality. Preparation of the RFP must be care- fully planned and executed. It is easily one of the most time-consuming ele- ments of the privatization process, and for good reason: The RFP and respond- ing proposal will be the basis for the contract between the municipality and the private sector firm. The quality of the proposals re- ceived will be directly proportional to the quality of the RFP issued. Major sections of the RFP would include: ■ Background data on the local area. ■ Technical, legal, and financial information. ■ Anticipated interfaces. ■ Facility management system requirements. The fourth phase is implementation. In this phase the oversight responsibility, first addressed in the decision- making phase, is carried through from design and con- struction to completion and operation of the project A community's engineer should review the project needs and the design plans for the facility and monitor the construction of the project Ongoing involvement by the engineer in operational review also is important After construction has been completed, proper supervi- sion of the facility is essential for protection of the com- munity's interest, from the point of view of making sure proper levels of operation are maintained to knowing that one day it may buy back the facility. A Cost -Saving Answer Privatization is the answer to the financing dilemma fac- ing many local governments across the nation. The bot- tom line, however, is that it provides significant savings to communities needing new construction as well as to those that require rehabilitation and expansion of exist- ing facilities. It also can be applied to lower user fees and assessments for existing — but not Federally funded — plants which may be sold to the private sector. Privatization is not a complex process, but it does re- quire a well -thought out and coordinated effort to ensure that its implementation is successful and in line with community goals. A community always will look to its engineer to provide technical expertise. But armed with the concepts of privatization, the engineer can serve his client in a broader sense: A project stalled by lack of funding can be set in motion when a consultant versed In privatization is brought in to work with the communi- ty's engineer and other professional advisors. Consulting engineers should welcome the opportuni- ty to provide their clients with Information about this fi- nancing vehicle. If there were ever a time that local com- munities needed to look to their engineers for guidance, privatization is making that time now. AA IW il i AM Am A NJ 119 0 pr Fl Privatization I =,T=j so ;do I* • • Privatization Dividing the Pie Between Public By Harvey Goldman and Sandra Mokuvos, Arthur Young Co. and Private ocal governments across the United States are all facing a common dilemma — an enor- mous need for infrastructure facilities, without the financial wherewithal to fund their construction. Decreases in federally and state -funded programs are shifting a greater amount of responsi- bility to mayors, town councils and others who must decide which project will proceed and which will be indefi- nitely stalled due to lack of funds. While some municipal officials are sty- mied in their desires to provide citizens with needed services, many others are looking at privatization, a financing and service delivery approach with potential advantages over traditional funding al- ternatives. The privatization concept — private sector involvement in financing, design, construction, ownership and/or opera- tion and delivery of service — is based on an emerging trend of public/private partnerships. Because the private sector has unique advantages available to it that are not available to local govern- ments, public officials have the oppor- tunity to capitalize on situations that could result in savings for the commu- nity. The possible savings result from construction cost and time efficiencies, operational advantages, and utilization of lax benefits. A private sector firm undertaking a construction project will generally pro- ceed at a faster rate and with a less cumbersome approach when compared to an identical project constructed with public monies. The many regulations and procedures that must be followed during construction of a publicly funded project typically raise the cost of a project by a significant amount. Bid- ding procedures, procurement reguln- tions and other conditions imposed upon local governments are intended to protect the public. They also delay projects and cost money. Privatization, coupled with service delivery contracts, have proven to be a cost-effective way of putting projects and services into place while still pro- tecting the public. While the methodol- ogies necessary to accomplish this goal are new to most local government units, they are easily put to use with appropri- ate guidance and direction. Operation efficiencies After a project is constructed, private sector operation may be more efficient as well. "Contracting out" service de- livery or blending public and private work forces to achieve operational and potential tax benefits could be consid- ered in many cases. Contract operations have proven successful in many areas. One source of savings results from economies of scale that come into play when the same private sector firm pro- vides services to multiple customers. Tax benefits, which are not available to tax-exempt governmental entities, can be used by the private sector to lower service delivery costs even further. Changes made to the tax law in 1981 and carried over in the 1982 changes al- low equipment and machinery to be dc- preciated over five years and structures over 15 years, about half the time pre- viously allowed. In many instances, investment and energy tax credits are also available. If the private sector entity uses a combi- nation of equity and debt to finance the project, the interest payments on debt are tax deductible. The privatization approach is appli- cable to a variety of infrastructure proj- ects. Typically, equipment -intensive projects are more attractive than struc- American City 8 County/January 19 41 — rurally intensive facilities becanSL .. the higher degree of tax credits and tax de- ductions. However, rhe feasibility of privatization should be determined on a site-specific basis. Suitable projects Among the types of facilities for which privatization is especially suited are: water and wastewater treatment fa- cilities; resource recovery and solid waste -to -energy facilities; parking and transit systems; garages and other gen- eral and special purpose facilities. In addition, privatization concepts also have been used by communities to attract privatc investment to develop properties which are owned by the pub- lic sector, but are not needed or usable in their current dedicated use. The con- version of vacant land into important new taxable property and the rehabili- tation of older structures through the use of privatization concepts has been successfully demonstrated in many situ. ations. Establishing the economic viability of privatization is important, but there are other matters that need to be addressed, and an orderly, proven methodology is essential. A key concept that governs this approach is that the public and pri- vate sectors must work together as part- ners. When a privatization transaction is appropriately structured, both partners will benefit, but neither gains at the ex- pense of the other. The private sector group gets an opportunity to pursue a legitimate business opportunity with a public sector client. The public gets a service delivered at a cost which could be far below its own cost of providing such a service. In fact, the public may be getting a service which it could not afford to provide for itself. Risks involved As in any business arrangement, there will be some risks involved in a privati- zation transaction. If privatization is to be truly a partnership between the pub- lic and private sectors, then along with sharing the benefits, risks will also have to be shared. However, it should be noted that by working together, the risks can be minimized. For example, in a privatized waste. water treatment facility, the private sec. tor firm will most likely be responsible, under penalty of fine, for meeting the discharge requirements of the munick pality's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit. If the re. sponsibility is to be shared, then it is more than likely that the municipality will guarantee the general quality of the wastewater entering the plant to be treated. Similar types of risk -sharing approaches must be conceived on a site and project specific basis.

By Harvey Goldman, Partner, and Sandra Mokuvos, Senior Consultant, Arthur Young & Co. he decline of federally funded programs, the tightening of fed- eral and state purse strings, and local concern over tax rates and user fees have many communities seeking in- novative financing alternatives to fund needed capital intensive projects. What local governments seek, professional advisors are starting to provide. The responses have ranged from cre- ative applications of conventional fi- nancing mechanisms, to relatively new uses of ]casing concepts and full-service delivery methods such as privatization. In some cases, private credit in the form of service agreements has been used by the public sector to secure needed fi- nancial resources. Given the panorama of new financ. ing approaches and resultant emergence of new and often confusing terms dc - scribing them, local leaders need guid- ance on various approaches to financ- Ing and providing delivery of needed services. These include: •Actions at the state government level; *short- and long-term financing op- tions for local governments: •leasing concepts; •privatization. An important point to note is that often the most cost-effective project fi- nancing method incorporates a combi- nation of specific approaches from within several of the above categories. In a report prepared for Congress, the money necessary to meet infrastruc- ture needs through the early 1990s; was cited at $2.5 trillion to $3 trillion. Among the capital intensive needs that exist arc municipal water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, schools, transportation networks and prisons. According to statistics cited in the re- port, at current expenditure levels, less or q than one-third of these needs will be met through conventional approaches. Given the limitations of capital markets to fund all the needed projects, new ap- proaches to financing facilities must be developed. As federal funds decrease, local gov- ernments have traditionally looked to. ward two places for assistance: their state governments and their own credit worthiness in terms of local access to the bond market. There are traditional and innovative alternatives available under each of these options. slate assistance At the state level, as less money comes down the federal pipeline, more responsibility for meeting statewide needs falls to each individual state.

However, there are some alternatives available for com- munities seeking local assistance from their state governments. Economic Development Funds — The purpose of these funds is to provide state assistance to local governments or private sponsors in the development of projects. Assistance takes the form of state loans, grants or below-market in- tcrest rates for a portion or all of the costs of a local project. General Fund Appropriations — General use funds include property taxes, sales tax, cigarette lazes and fed. crei general revenue sharing funds. Typically, these taxes and revenue streams are dedicated for specific pur- poses. Direcl Slate Purchase — As an aher- native to grants and loans, settle state% buy municipal bonds for specific local projects. Local governments benefit by AmOrlcOn City 6 County/March 1984 paying a lover interest rate. Another alternative is for the state to use the funds to pay for a portion of construc- tion costs, take title to the project and then sell it back to the sponsor over a long period of time. Pond Danks — A state or federal bond bank could be empowered to issue bonds and notes in its own name, the proceeds being used to purchase the bonds and notes of local government units, hopefully driving down the later - est costs by trading upon the credit of the state or the credit of multiple rather than individual projects. In addition, state loan funds are also being con- ceived. Commonly referred to as an "Infrastructure Ilank," the program would combine state and federal grant money and provide local government with zero interest or low interest loans that would eventually be repaid out of project revenues. Communities have traditionally used bonds to finance construction of needed facilities, although in some portions of the country "pay-as-you-go" ap- proaches have been utilized. While pay- as-you-go avoids interest charges by ac- cumulating the capital requirements for a project in advance of construction, it typically is limited to more affluent or fiscally conservative areas. The volume of both short- and long- term, tax-exempt debt offerings has in- creased dramatically in recent years. Long-term municipal debt issuance av- eraged $45 billion per year between 1977 and 1981. In 1982, long-term financing volume totaled S77 billion — amount- ing to a 67 percent increase in one year. Shoe -term financing volume has simi- larly risen, more than doubling from S21 billion in 1979 to $43 billion in 1982.' Up until a few years ago, there were 1W , relatively few options for a community seeking to finance capital -intensive projects with bonds, and credit worthi- ness has always been a limiting factor. Often, a community's ability to issue bonds is limited by a statutory ceiling on outstanding debt capacity or the community's credit rating is not high enough to be competitive with other is- sues at a given interest rate. Many growing communities do not have cur- rent revenues sufficient to meet debt service requirements for the large vol- ume of debt issuance needed for capital projects. While a number of new financing al- ternatives have become available, with them have come new problems associ- ated with the complexities of the credit market. Traditonal investors, banks and insurance companies are being replaced by money market funds and private in- dividuals. Investors want more security and more acceptance of risks, such as interest rate fluctuations, by the issuer instead of the investor. An area that is still of concern to is. suers is how to improve their credit rat- ing, which has an impact on the interest rate that will need to be offered to suc- cessfully market the securities. Finan- cial analysts have provided local com- munities with a number of alternative mechanisms to increase their ratings. Users of municipal bond insurance (MBI) have the ability to repay debt, but use MBI to enhance their credit rat- ing, lower interest costs and expand their access to the market. Prior to marketing the bonds, an issuer obtains an insurance policy for a one-time pre- mium of approximately 0.6 percent to 1.5 percent of the aggregate principal and interest due on the bonds from the delivery date to the final maturity date. The insurance, in effect, guarantees to the bond holders timely payment of in- terest and principal. There are several firms that provide bond insurance with the American Mu- nicipal Bond Assurance Corporation (AMBAC) and Municipal Bond Insur- ance Association (MBIA) being the most well known. Standard & Poor's rates both AMBAC -insured and MBIA. insured bonds as triple-A. Moody's tends to ignore the insurance when as- signing the rating. Another method for a community to improve its bond rating is to secure an issue with a bank letter of credit. The cost of obtaining a letter of credit is usually an annual fee of approximately r/4 percent to 1'/ percent of the amount of notes outstanding. If a letter of credit is used to repay any or all of the issue, then the obligation converts to a direct bank loan. These alternatives provide lower bor- rowing costs, presently up to 500 basis points, or 5 percent, lower than long- tmdebt. While these alternatives usu- ally provide lower initial costs, there are important risks to consider. For exam- ple, financial markets may change and subsequent long-term borrowing costs could be higher than if long-term fi- nancing was initially used. An adequate strategy to protect the issuer against this potential risk should be developed be- fore going forward. Some of the more prevalent short-term financial ap- proaches, which can later be converted to long-term debt, include: *Tax-exempt commercial paper; Shand anticipation notes; •variable rate demand notes. Tax -Exempt Commercial Paper (TECP) — Can be used during con- struction to allow the issuer to select a better market for long-term financing. TECP usually matures between 15 days and 45 days. Additional costs associ- ated with TECP should be given con- sideration. These include a fee of r/4 of 1 percent or more for a letter of credit and a fee of ''A of 1 percent or more for the agent who places the commercial paper. Bond Anticipation Notes (BAN) — These bonds are issued in anticipation of a long-term bond issue. BANS tyPi- cally mature in one year to three years and are payable from the proceeds of the long-term bond issue. Prior to the refinancing, interest on the BANS may be capitalized from the proceeds of the notes or paid from revenues of the project. The principal is payable in one Jump sum. Grant anticipation notes (GANS) are a variation of this theme and are used when a grant, rather than a bond, is expected to provide long-term financing. Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDN) — Usually having a maturity of two years or three years, the interest rate on these notes fluctuates periodi- cally with a prescribed municipal bond market index or an alternative index based on a major bank's prime lending rate. Ai ..' any demand note, the holder has the option of holding the note to maturity or tendering the note to the is- suer for redemption at the original par value upon seven days notice. Long-term financing There have been a number of inno. vative approaches and variations of tra- ditional long-term financing methods. General obligation bonds, revenue bonds and special assessment bonds have traditionally been used, but are now being supplemented by creative concepts to tailor repayment schedules and renegotiation options to project - specific and community -specific needs. Care must be taken to ensure that the proper long-term financing approach is matched to the circumstances at hand. General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds) — Backed by the general credit and taxing authority of the issuing agency, GO bonds are typically at somewhat lower interest rates compared to less conventional bonds. Their use "draws down" a community's borrow- ing capacity and credit standing, be- cause they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer. GO bonds are becoming a limited source of funding due to bond market fluctuations, inter- est rate increases, statutory and consti- tutional limitations on municipal debt, and referendum requirements. Revenue Bonds — Revenue bonds are repaid exclusively from the earnings of a specific enterprise, e.g., a water sys- tem, a toll road, etc., and are normally used for capital intensive projects, which generate their own revenue streams from users served by the proj- ect. The interest rate is generally not as favorable as that of general obligation bonds, although the security of the project's revenue stream will influence the rate. Limitations on revenue bond issues arc: 1) typical underwriters' re- quirements that service charges be set at 120 percent to 150 percent of the level required to meet annual debt service costs, and 2) the capability of service users to pay the user charges. Industrial Development Bonds (IDBS) — IDBs arc a specific type of bond used to encourage private investment in a particular area. A municipality, a non- profit authority or other governmental unit issues an IDB for a private sector firm, which uses the proceeds of the bond sale to build a facility. IDBS pro- vide private sector groups with tax-ex- cmpt financing rates for projects. Limitations exist on the size of the is- sue allowable to still be eligible for the tax-exempt status and on the types of facilities for which IDBS can be used. There has been recent concern about potential abuses of the use of IDBS and one should exercise due care when plan. ning on their future use. Infrastructure projects in the water, wastewater and American Ctty 6 County/March 1984 1 IL I A 1 _L resource recovery field receI�c speciul favorable treatment under current leg- islation. Special Assessment Bonds — These bonds are used to finance elements of a project, e.g. the collection system of a wastewater treatment facility, which benefit individual properties. Usually, these bonds are sold locally or region- ally by the issuing political subdivision and discharged by the individual prop- erty owner over a five-year to 20 -year term. The issuer's taxpaying power may or may not be pledged as additional se- curity. Innovative approaches There are a number of creative con- cepts that have been applied in the field of long-term financing. These innova- tive, long-term bonding options in- clude: *Deferred interest approaches, — zero coupon bonds, — step coupon bonds; •tender option bonds; •Boating rate bonds, — Boating rate bonds, — adjustable Boating rate bonds, — Boating fixed rate bonds. Zero Coupon Bonds (Zeros) — These bonds pay no current interest coupon and are sold at a deep discount. Inves- tors in these bonds forego current inter- est income for appreciation in princi- pal. The attraction to investors is the ability to lock in a guaranteed yield to maturity based on the discounted price at the time of purchase. Stepped Coupon Bond — Like zeros, these bonds provide lower than normal interest rates in the early years and higher rates in later years. Their use can produce a lower total debt service, be- cause more principal is repaid earlier in the term. The bonds attract investors desiring an increasing rate of return. A lower interest rate in early years can mean substantial savings on projects for which interest is capitalized during the construction period, because the capi- talized interest is based on the lower coupon rate. However, the call premi- ums are unusually high to offset the investors' loss of coupon income in the early years, making it costly to refi- nance the debt. Tender Option Bonds (Put Ilonds) — Having a maturity of 25 years to 30 years, these bonds also give the holder the option to lender the bonds to the is- suer for repayment at par value at the end of a specified period, usually at least three years to five years. There- after, the option cull be exercised pe- riodically al either ane -year or three- year intervals. Because of this liquidity feature, investors will accept signifi- cantly lower yields on pill bunds than on standard 30 -year bonds. Floating Rate Bonds (FRIls) — As indicated in the name, these bonds bear P& a varying or "floating" interest i.,,e. These are typically issued by those who want to take advantage of current inter- est expense savings, compared to long- term rates. Issuers might expect interest rates to decline in the near future, whereas purchasers might anticipate that rates may rise and do not want to be locked into a fixed rate at the cur- rent level. Adjustable Floating Rale Bonds (AFRB) — An AFRB, which functions like a tender option bond, is a combi- nation of the option bond and the Boating rate bond. If prior to any op- tion dale, the interest rate for short- term bonds is higher than the coupon rate on put bonds, it is very likely an is- suer can expect that a large portion of the outstanding put bonds will be tend- ered. At that time, a repricing commit- tee will propose adjusting the rate on the put bonds so that the tendered bonds can be remarketed. Floating Fixed Rate Bonds (FFRBs) — Long-term floating rate financing with the option of fixing the rate under more favorable market conditions can be obtained without the expense of re- funding through FFRBs. An FFRB is issued for a maturity of 30 years to 40 years. During the Boating rate period, which can extend to the entire term of the bond, the interest rate Boats relative to a predetermined index. Bonds with Warrants (Warrants) — When a "warrant" is sold with a bond, the purchaser of the bond is entitled to buy an additional bond of the same coupon rate m any time within it one- year period. The invesmr is most likely to exercise the option if interest rates on alternative investments go down. Leasing: using vs. uwuing Lensing is another financing alterna- live available to In unicip;di tics. Leasing is equivalent to borrowing; one borrows physical assets instead of cash to ac- quire time assets. Lease payments typi- cally are a fixed obligation, just like principal and interest payments on bonds. A lease is a contract through which an owner of property conveys the right to use it to another party. The decision to lease, from the perspective of the les- see (the party to a lease agreement who is obligated to pay the rentals is entitled to use the property) is based on whether it costs less to borrow the money to buy the property or to acquire the use of the property by leasing it. Other considera- tions, which typically enter into the lease or own decision, include the fol- lowing: — Risk of obsolescence of the asset; — intended period of use of the as- set; — avoidance of restrictions accom- panying debt financing; — preservation of debt capacity for other needs. In a tax -oriented lease, the potential use of the investment tax credit (ITC) and depreciation is transfered from the user of the property (the lessee) to the owner (the lessor) in return for lower rental payments. Under the appropriate conditions, leasing can offer advantages to both the public and private sectors in that the private sector is able to use tax benefits, and the public sector pays less for needed property. There are numer- ous types of leases, including: operating Lease — An agreement be- tween the lessee and the lessor for rental of property for a specified period of time. The lessor would probably take certain tax benefits and be responsible for maintenance in return for a pay- ment of a periodic fee. Financing Lease — In this type of ar- rangement, the lessee negotiates a pur- chase with a supplier of property and simultaneously arranges for a bank or leasing company to buy the property. The lessee then rents the property from the bank or leasing company and is ob- ligated to make periodic payments. Sale/Leaseback — The owner of an existing facility or asset sells it to a fi- nancing entity and enters into a lease for use of the property. Because the new owner realizes certain tax benefits, the sale/leaseback approach may result in savings to the user, compared to tradi- tional financing approaches. The usage fee covers the financing cost of the pur- chase asset. Leveraged Lease — A combination of debt and equity is used to construct a new facility or to obtain ownership of an asset. The equity contributor obtains the lax benefits of ownership and fi- nances the bulk of the project employ- ing iax-exempt bonds or other debt in- struments. Leverage comes from using it small percentage of equity, usually about 20 percent, to acquire the lax American City & County/March 1984 M F benefits on the larger value of the asset. Leveraged leasing became a particu- larly attractive option for partnerships formed by municipalities and private sector firms as a result of certain excep- tions contained in the Tax and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA). Potential users of financing tech- niques that combine leasing and tax benefits should be wary of pending leg- islation, which, if passed, may impose limitations upon the use of these tech- niques. Privatization A financing and service delivery al- ternative that combines many of Elie ad- vantages of the approaches described above is privatization. The privatization concept is based on public/private part- nerships. The key is that both sides gain, but neither benefits at the expense or the other. The private sector gets a business opportunity, enhanced by the se of tax benefits. The public sector gels a needed service at a lower cost than otherwise possible and, if desired, eventual ownership of the facility that provides the service. Certain types of projects can be con- structed by the private sector more effi- ciently and at a lower cost than if the identical project is constructed by the public sector. This is because the pri- vate sector does not have to abide by the bureaucratic procedures and pro- curement regulations of federal, state and local funded projects, and through operational efficiencies realized through economics of scale. The private sector, pursuing a legiti- mate "service contract" with a local government unit, is also eligible for tax benefits not available to tax-exempt municipalities. The benefits include ACRS depreciation, tax credits and the deductability of interest payments on the debt used in the project financing. Werivate sector construction and operational savings are combined with available tax benefits, the lower project costs which result can be shared with the local community in lite form of lower user fees, while providing a fair return on the investment to the private sector. While many local government offi- 1, cials are still frowning over the cut-- backs in federal grants and state sup- port for capital intensive infrastructure projects, some see a brighter future.. Advisors to public officials are formu- lating creative and innovative financing' approaches. Public officials and their. advisors are becoming familiar with these alternative approaches, learning where and when the different concepts make sense. Equally important, they are - discovering how to blend the concepts together to provide the most cost-effec- tive form of service delivery to the pub- . lie.

We have offices in four states, including Waterloo and Des Moines, Iowa. Donohue specializes in the analysis, design and r construction of wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. Donohue - is ranked 67 on the current ENR index of leading engineering firms. They were also written up in an article "Engneering Grants" by the Specifying _ Engineer. A copy of that article is included in Volume 2. We recently made a commitment to pursue privatization of wastewater treatment plants. As stated previously, this submittal is by a team. Donohue & Associates, Inc., will be the lead firm and will contract with the City of Iowa City for ti the services proposed. i rt We have included in the team the firm of B&B Engineering Services �� Corporation (B&B) of Iowa City. Representation by B&B will be provided by Mr. Edward Brinton, P.E. His responsibilities will primarily include analysis of the transportation issues including sewer routing and depth, pumping stations, retention basins, cost estimating, etc. B&B's role is to aid in gathering factual information and liaison with the City staff, as well as assistance with the transportation study. t For the privatization analysis, we have brought to the team the expertise of Cepek Construction Company (Cepek) to provide cost estimating and n construction analyses of the project. Cepek has extensive experience in the Lconstruction of wastewater treatment plants. They have constructed six (6) wastewater treatment plants designed by Donohue, and have experience in constructing wastewater treatment plant additions on congested sites like Iowa City. They therefore can advise the team reviewing the renovation J alternatives of any problems that could potentially add construction costs. j-1 Donohue has also brought to the team the firm of Touche Ross & Co., an r international accounting and management consulting partnership with 427 offices throughout the world. They will analyze privatization and determine whether or not it is the most effective and efficient system to manage Li wastewater treatment in Iowa City. As part of this analysis, they will consider public procurement, tax, financial planning, insurance, bonding and other issues. Touche Ross brings leading industry specialization and experience to this project. Touche Ross will analyze all options available to Iowa City to determine the one that is most feasible. Touche Ross' active involvement in projects j� involving investment groups and local government brings an added dimension of expertise to this team. In addition, Touche Ross has an internal resource --its Washington, DC Service Center. The Center has recognized leaders with knowledge and a thorough understanding of current federal policies relative to privatization. This Center is of even greater benefit today because of the tax legislation presently before Congress which will have significant impact on privatization benefits. The Center gives Touche Ross :. the ability to react quickly to the changing environment in order to advise Iowa City on the opportunities available. Additional information concerning privatization is presented in Volume 2. 1161 Ft n r, SECTION 4 Members of this team currently are and have worked together in the past. to Donohue, Touche Ross, and Cepek are currently working together on a r privatization project.

We also believe that the client is the foundation of the team; the most advanced management techniques and latest technological equipment are poor substitutes for continuous and meaningful interaction between Client and Engineer. i1 t To establish that interaction between Client and Engineer, Donohue employs a +, proven system of project organization and implementation which centers around the assignment of one project manager (acceptable to the Client) who will follow the project through from inception to completion. Inception is defined as that time when the project specific interview is conducted; completion is defined as that time when the Client is pleased with the outcome �ni of the constructed/remodeled facility. II The Donohue project manager recognizes a breakdown in communications J serves as a catalyst for bad projects, and therefore maintains Client communciation (which includes project review) as a highest priority. ' I Communication between the Donohue team members is also vitally important. The project manager must be able to exercise his defined authority and responsibility and coordinate professional personnel in the various disciplines required for the project. Donohue has repeatedly and successfully demon- strated a unique ability to manage projects on which personnel from several disciplines, and sometimes several office locations, are working. This is possible because of: J ° The established communication between the project managers and location specific personnel or discipline managers. ° The accepted distinction between responsibilities of project managers and each discipline staff. O The commitment of the principal -in -charge to the Client and project and the ability to expedite a project through the organization. ° The working and in-place quality control procedures. Quality control is a personal commitment of the principal -in -charge. Simply stated, quality control is a systematig and scheduled review by peers to ascertain that the Client's defined wants' and needs are met and the study is done correctly. The first review addresses the agreement; intermediate reviews center on the study; and the final review evaluates the completed study. Reviews are conducted by senior personnel, who are not directly working on the project. With their experience, objectivity, and commitment to excellence, the final work product is benefited. Quality control procedures enhance communication, project quality, budget control, Client satisfaction, and result in fewer change orders. We have reviewed the information submitted to us by Iowa City and gathered by the project team through its knowledge of the Iowa City wastewater i treatment system. We believe that there are cost savings that can be achieved through analysis of the sewer collection system, existing wastewater plant, and proposed treatment schemes already designed or proposed in the ! Dague and Kimm-Dague reports. We would like to address some of the areas that we believe should be re-evaluated to reduce the overall cost and improve the project. 1161 ■ Infiltration/Inflow Past cost projections indicate that it is more cost-effective to transport and treat than to eliminate the inflow into the sewer system. A considerable cost of the construction of transportation and treatment system is to accommodate the high inflow that is projected. We have worked with communities where, instead of installing expensive storm sewers to provide outlets for sump pump drains, six-inch pipes have been plowed in on the homeowner's side of the sidewalk for connection of sump pumps. This significantly reduces the cost of the storm water laterals and the storm water installations themselves. This i will also reduce inflow to the sanitary sewer -system, thereby reducing both the size and cost of the interceptor sewers as well as size and treatment costs r at the plant. The six-inch pipes are terminated in the closest catch basin. ,l; This solution should be considered to determine if there are significant reductions in inflow and cost savings for the project. J� Sewer Analysis The proposed interceptor sewers are very deep. The depth of the sewer `7 adds significantly to the construction cost. This is particularly the case u where these sewers are being constructed in developed areas. We know of ways to save costs by either installing cost-effective pump stations to reduce the depth of the sewers, or utilizing other construction techniques to reduce J the cost of the sewer construction. The routing of the sewers should also be analyzed. Significant costs are projected for the Southeast Interceptor Sewer. Would it be more cost-effective to pump sewage directly to the south, to the new plant, or south and east to the existing plant? At Donohue we have extensive experience with design, construction methods, and cost analysis for large interceptor sewers for metropolitan areas. We propose to conduct an independent and objective cost analysis of: ° Depth of the southeast sewer versus adding another screw pump station near Snyder Creek similar to the one now proposed. ° Other pump stations, force mains, and outfall sewers for the very rare storm induced flooding situations in lieu of the $10 million Southeast Interceptor Sewer solution. ° Tunnels for sewer transportation along a shorter route to the existing site. Tunnels will be considered in conjunction with the new 84 -inch diameter outfall from the old to the new plant site. The tunnels may terminate temporarily at the existing plant site if the existing plant is to be renovated. ° Other more direct sewer routes involving combinations of pump stations and gravity sewers to serve the area near Rundell Street which is subject to frequent flooding. Phasing of the interceptor sewer projects. ° Capital costs and operation and maintenance costs (savings) for new pump stations and/or abandoned pump stations. We propose to evaluate each sewer plan already studied and the newly offered ideas and the Dague and Kimm-Dague reports with regard to odors, chemical corrosion, and maintenance considerations. —' We understand Iowa City has had some prior experience with sewers which deteriorated from biological or chemical corrosion. This is a serious consideration in long, deep, unventilated sewers. The City has gone on record to promote compact and contiguous development ' within the corporate boundaries. Presently the 48 to 54 -inch Southeast Interceptor Sewer is located in the County, outside of the City limits. It has been our experience that once a sewer is constructed, this is an open a invitation for development in the area. We would consider alternative locations and designs which reduce City expenditures diverted to develop utilities outside the long-range development areas. Renovation of the Existing Treatment Plant I The project team has considerable experience in renovation and expansion of 71 existing wastewater treatment plants. We know that it is very difficult to U upgrade an existing plant and keep it in service while meeting the existing effluent limitations during the construction period. We have, however, been able to accomplish this monumental task by properly organizing the project. ' The cost presented for renovation of the existing treatment plant needs to be further analyzed. A brief description of our experience for renovation or expansion of existing wastewater treatment plants is presented in Tables 4 and 5. Additional information is presented in Volume 2. The existing treatment plant has units that are underloaded. For instance, the trickling filter is more than adequate for the present loadings and may be adequate for the projected loadings. There is no state requirement regarding the covering of trickling filters, yet it appears the cost of covers are included the cost estimates. Elimination of the covers could save approxi- y mately $3 million in renovation costs. Studies from Professor Dague may be especially useful in determining the design criteria, performance, and modifications to the existing facilities. We have conferred with Professor Dague in the past and respect his expterise. We hope to continue that relationship on this project in order to provide continuity of information and ideas. Because of his past relationship with `. Iowa City however, he will not be a team -member. The existing anaerobic digesters and solids handling system are clearly adequate for current needs and represent a substantial capital investment. We propose to evaluate the impact of any plant expansion on the solids digestion, dewatering, and disposal costs. There are many areas in the treatment plant where concrete is deteriorating. We have successfully rehabilitated concrete in many wastewater treatment plants. Rehabilitated concrete has, in many cases, been more cost-effective ` than replacing the entire treatment plant. IW The current WAWM rules and regulations require that the closest treatment unit have a 1,000-foot setback from the closest residence. Our analysis shows that you may have some residential dwellings as close as 700 feet to the nearest structure. Current WAWM rules and regulations require that you ^ receive a waiver from the affected property owners if you are going to renovate treatment facilities. These waivers may be difficult to obtain. J As part of our analysis, we will conduct a study of the existing treatment facility to include at least the items identified below. These issues were outlined for the City Staff and Sewer Committee during their investigations in 1983. (ja ° Provide a complete inventory and evaluation of the equipment and i� structures. Estimate the expected remaining life of all units in the plant. Analyze the hydraulic capacity for all treatment units and inter- connecting piping. Determine present hydraulic capacity of each unit process system. Point out where flow restrictions result. Establish the hydraulic capacity of the existing treatment plant based on the hydraulic analysis. Establish piping changes which may be needed to convey the design flows. n Jo Determine the organic loadings on all treatment units. Compare the resultant performance with the normally expected capacities from similar treatment units. o Determine the condition and capacity of all sewage and sludge pumps. ° Analyze solids treatment and handling capabilities of the plant including pumps, digesters, sludge thickeners, and gas storage facilities. Establish the adequacy of existing electrical, heating, and ventilating systems in the plant. Determine the energy recovery and energy use of all facilities in the plant. ° Evaluate the capabilities of the. various treatment plant units during cold weather. ° Determine the effects of hydraulic overload on the life of the various plant units and upon the operating and maintenance costs. U ' Predict the summer and winter performance based on the present and future maximum hydraulic and organic loadings on the plant. Determine the effect of the plant performance under the above I — conditions on the water quality of the Iowa River. New Treatment Plant LJ 1 We have reviewed the Kimm-Dague report which shows significant savings in it present worth costs for the proposed modifications to the treatment processes. The Kimm-Dague report proposes phasing of the project to lessen the economic impact on the community. It would be our approach to analyze the particular unit processes being proposed at the new site and determine the most cost-effective system. This will include the lowest construction cost and tu operation and maintenance costs to the City. The phasing of the project, if the City were to construct their own facility, is important for fiscal control. Federal funding for construction of the project could be available to Iowa City in less than 10 years based on several actions currently being investigated. We would like to discuss with you on a confidential basis a potential funding program which would make Federal — money available to Iowa City earlier. We also know that there currently are bills in front of our Federal legislature to increase the amount of grant dollars which will also help the City of Iowa City. We have reviewed the r Dague and Kimm-Dague reports for phasing the construction of the sewers and treatment plant. This phasing will delay certain portions of the sewer and plant construction so that the City can capitalize on funds for the later phases. We have a proven track record of securing over $250,000,000 in grants for our clients. We will seek out the latest grant information that will y' benefit you. We have several innovative funding projects that are presented in Section 10. 0 We understand that you have received a proposal from Burns and McDonnell utilizing their intrachannel clarifier process. We have designed a plant with this process in Spring Valley, Minnesota. This project is at the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency now for review. Because of our knowledge of this process, we are able to conduct an objective analysis of its application for Iowa City. Privatization There are many advantages why the City of Iowa City should consider privatization. Our team has contacted the Iowa Bond Legal Council in Des Moines. They have researched and concurred with the legality of privatizaton within the state of Iowa. They further state that this is a viable alternative in Iowa. We are currently actively engaged in privatization projects in the State of Iowa based on this and other analyses. Touche Ross is an industry leader in 'the privatization concept. They were retained by the City of Chandler, Arizona, to analyze the financial aspects of privatization for that City. Chandler is the first and only municipal wastewater treatment system developed under the privatization concept. Touche Ross is also co -sponsoring a series of seminars on privatization at the national level entitled, "Clean Water Tax Summit." There is also a significant draw back to privatization for the City of Iowa City. Proposed rules and regulations governing privatization on a nation-wide basis do not allow for privatization of sewers, and sewer costs have a significant impact on this project. Possibly changing the sanitary sewer routes and depths, and addition of pump stations can reduce the economic impact the sewers will have on Iowa City, making the privatization concept more realistic. Our approach would be to conduct an objective analysis of these issues and develop other alternatives as we become more familiar with your concerns and the overall cost of your project. SECTION 8 Mr. Edward Brinton, P.E. , of B&B Engineering Services Corporation of Iowa City is a minority business enterprise and has considerable familiarity with the issues involved with this study. Mr. Brinton's resume and information on B&B is presented in Volume 2. SECTION 9 The team of Donohue, Cepek, and Touche Ross is currently under contract for the preliminary design phase for a wastewater privatization project at LaPorte City, Iowa. At this time, only preliminary construction costs are available. If you would like more details on this project, we would be pleased to meet with you on a confidential basis. The City official you can contact is Darrell Loveless. Mr. Loveless' phone number is 319-342-3396. This team is also working on the development of four additional privatization projects within Iowa. We are not at liberty to discuss these projects since they are in the preliminary stages and no contracts have been entered into.

The Franklin -Northeast interceptor, when completed, will provide gravity flow to areas now served by temporary pump stations. During the design phase of the project, Donohue suggested that an alternative route, identified but eliminated in the facilities plan, should be reconsidered. The alternative route would reduce excavation and restoration costs because trench depths were reduced from 40 feet to 20 feet and construction took place in agricul- tural land rather than in a busy paved arterial. The relocated route also acts as a relief sewer to an existing sewer that occasionally surcharges. After evaluating the environmental concerns this alternative was approved as the final preferred route at an estimated cost savings of $2.6 million to the Owner. Client Reference: Al Saboczyk 414/276-0300 Lead Design Engineer: Roger Zwygart •moi n Bourn hist Street and West Grant Street Relief- Sewer -� The South 81st Street and West Grant Street sewer project involved the study and design of a relief sewer and flow diversion to eliminate the basement flooding and sewage bypassing caused by the surcharged MIS system in this area. Donohue televised the surcharged 18 -inch MIS, inspected the manholes, and estimated the cost of the rehabilitation. Monitored flow data from the I/I i study were analyzed, theoretical flows were developed, and a surcharge analysis was conducted to determine the capacity of the relief sewers. An engineering report incorporating the above information and a discussion of construction costs and techniques evaluated the alternatives considered for design. The report recommended the construction of a 48 -inch sewer in tunnel and flow diversion to convey the flow from the surcharged 18 -inch and 39 -inch MIS to an existing 96 -inch interceptor tunnel. The construction occurred in 1979 and included 100 lineal feet of 12 -inch, 15 -inch, and 18 -inch diversion sewer and 550 lineal feet of 48 -inch sewer in. tunnel approximately 40 feet deep with three special structures. A diversion chamber was constructed over the existing 39 -inch MIS and the existing drop manhole on the existing 96 -inch MIS will be rebuilt for improved flow charac- teristics. The estimated construction cost is $420,000. The entire project was completed on a critical timetable to meet the funding deadline of the Wisconsin Fund Program. -. Client Reference: Jack Shumacher 414/276-0300 Lead Civil Engineer: Eugene Eleinke 1161 Sturtevant -Mt. Pleasant Wisconsin Over 48,000 lineal feet of interceptor sewer were designed and constructed. The sewer connected the Sturtevant sanitary system with a regional treatment facility located in Racine. The $10 million project was designed for a maxi- mum flow of 56.8 MGD. The Sturtevant service area is about 11,500 acres. The project included 15,000 feet of 72 -inch sewer including 4,600 feet of tunnel. The remaining 10,400 feet of 72 -inch sewer pipe were constructed by the open -cut method. There were 2,900 feet of 30 -inch force main. The remaining 33,000 feet of sewer were constructed by the open -cut method and ranged in size from 30 inches to 66 inches. Two meter stations were con- structed and a pump station will also be built. The pump station will consist of four pumps, each pump having a capacity of 4,450 gpm. Design included a 124 -foot sanitary interceptor siphon with inlet and outlet manhole structures. The siphon is located beneath an existing drainage course.

It consists of 3.1 miles of 24 -inch through 42 -inch diameter sewer pipe. Thepipe strength was designed and specified on I'D-Load"pipe length strength. The sewer was constructed -at depths ranging from 12 to 29 feet. The sewer is located in city streets, easements, and a county trunk highway. Design and construction included three railroad crossings, one urban U.S. highway crossing, and an interstate highway crossing. The total length of the jacked or tunneled pipe was about 800 feet. Special coordination with the Wisconsin Power & Light Company was necessary because the interceptor sewer crossed the Power company's proposed staging j — area for new power plant construction. Special foundation design was necessary when an unknown refuse dump was uncovered along the interceptor route during construction.

Ii LJ INFILTRATION/INFLOW ANALYSIS Professional engineering services and related technical support is provided by Donohue for the preparation of I/I analysis studies. The multi -disciplined nature of our consulting engineering firm, together with extensive experience, makes us uniquely qualified to pursue this type of study. Providing these services to villages, cities, sanitary districts, and multi -community sewerage commissions, we have had the opportunity to work in very large systems. These projects, together with a multitude of smaller projects, have resulted in development of expertise within Donohue that allows us to produce I/I analysis studies that fulfill requirements of regulatory agencies and provide the maximum benefit to the client. Donohue can provide the engineering and technical services necessary to prepare each element of an infiltration/inflow analysis. Our personnel are experienced and well equipped to conduct field reconnaissance of the system, monitor flows in major sewer basins and sub -basins, install static groundwater level indicators and record bypassed flows from the system. Data processing is used wherever appropriate to organize and display the collected data. The economic analysis is developed by personnel with experience in the engineering of sewerage systems, as well as first-hand knowledge of sewer system evaluation surveys and sewer system rehabilitation programs. Donohue personnel are also available to represent the owner in dealings with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the appropriate state regula- tory agency concerning the infiltration/inflow analysis and to carry the necessary engineering effort forward to approval by these regulatory agencies. Donohue has prepared over 60 infiltration/inflow analyses. The following page contains a list of communities for which infiltration/inflow analyses were completed.

These services are provided to villages, cities, sanitary districts and multicommunity sewerage commissions throughout the upper Midwest. We also provide services to other consulting engineering firms in this very specialized area. 7 Donohue has been actively engaged in sewer system evaluation work since 1973. We own and operate internal sewer inspection, jet cleaning, rainfall simulation and smoke testing equipment. Augmenting this major hardware is equipment to measure flow depth, determine flow velocity and collect waste- water samples. J It is our philosophy that the sewer system evaluation operation is a service -i arm to our engineering staff, similar to our wastewater laboratory. There- fore, we have developed our program with a consulting engineering approach to analyze the physical and cost-effectiveness aspects of each sewer system -7 rather than a construction contractor's approach. Several of the factors J which are unique to our sewer system evaluation program are: We videotape 100 percent of the sewers televised so that analysis can be performed in the office by trained observers and reviewed in detail by project engineers. Videotapes are retained as a permanent record, especially of sewers to be restored by the insertion liner method. Extensive use is made of in-house and direct access computer systems to facilitate data processing and expedite project comple- tion. Data derived during the physical survey is processed to provide a sewer system inventory and to justify television inspec- tion. Our computer system is further utilized to aid the project engineers in developing the system rehabilitation program. Donohue engineers responsible for this work are kept abreast of -1 current sewer rehabilitation technology. Our library contains the latest reports and technical journals. Additionally, our staff engin- eers have observed sewer grouting construction and sewer relining work in order to be as familiar as possible with sewer rehabilitation technology. We continuously evaluate, and update if necessary, the criteria employed in the Sewer System Evaluation Survey used to identify sewers for internal inspection and subsequent rehabilitation. our experience in the design of wastewater treatment facilities and sanitary sewer systems enables us to consider the most up-to-date J technology in developing costs for transportation and treatment of wastewater.

Oper- ating from a solid base In the upper Midwest, Donohue also has complet- ed an extensive range of engineering and architectural projects nationwide and overseas. In 1926, Donohue designed a wastewater treatment plant for the Wisconsin community of Antigo. It was one of the first plants in the United States to use separate sludge digestion and operate a successful methane gas recovery and reuse system. Sanitary engineers from throughout the United States, Canada, Germany, and Australia came to study the unique design. Background of the firm When Jerry Donohue began offer- ing property and highway surveying services In the early 1900's, his concern was with "matters pertaining to community well-being:' He founded the Jerry Donohue Engineering Com- pany in 1910 in Sheboygan, Wis., ploneering in sewer and water systems throughout the state. The company gained early national attention from Its involvement in initial planning for Kohler Village around 1916. The firm's first office consisted of one room with a rolltop desk. Repeat business contributed to Donohue's steady growth during the 1920's as the firm built Its reputation for concerned and competent engi- neering assistance. The various federal public works programs in the 1930's offered Increased opportunities as communities built new sewage treatment plants and made other municipal improvements. Donohue continued to expand Its business within Wisconsin, especially during the postwar years, helping communities add secondary wastewa- ter treatment to existing facilities and branching out Into airport and highway work. In the 1970's, with the passage of the Clean Water Act, Donohue's 60 years of wastewater experience put them in a firm position to help communities in Wisconsin and neigh- boring states comply with the exacting new water quality regulations. Over the past 10 years, Donohue has designed more than 100 wastewater treatment facilities and has grown from a staff of approximately 100 In 1972 to Its present farce of 600. Today, Donohue is a vital, growing company, offering seasoned experi- ence in a full complement of engineering and architectural ser- vices. From 11 offices In Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, Dono- hue provides mechanical, electrical, civil, sanitary, and structural engineer - Ing. They also have on staff professional architects, planners, chemists, biologists, ecologists, geolo- gists and hydrogeologists, and experts in soils, water resources, and hydrau- lics. Special capabilities Include com- puter services, an in-house laboratory, surveying and mapping, a telecommu- nications division, governmental Iles - on, operator training, construction - related services, and construction management. Donohue is a closely -held firm with a relatively young ownership (the median age of the 25 associates Is approximately 40). President and chief executive officer Keith J. Garnett joined Donohue In 1967 and became president in 1979. Serving as senior vice presidents are A. William Huels- man, Thomas C. Leonhardt, and Kenneth J. Schmeling. Looking to the future "We believe the next 10 years can be the most exciting in our history;" asserts Garnett.

We've assembled a body of very talented young professionals, who relish the excitement and challenge of new opportunities. And finally, our techno- logical advances in such areas as computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), remote sensing, and passive solar design have given us a competitive edge in developing new and effective project approaches." CADD has been an integral part of Donohue's development since 1980. Starting with four workstations, the firm now operates three shifts a day on 11 stations. The use of remote sensing for a varied range of projects—from an archaeological investigation in Jamai- ca to a pavement delamination study in Chicago—also has brought Dono- hue national and international atten- tion. As a generic term, remote ARCHITECTIENGINEEk sensing indicates methods of acquir- ing information without being in direct I contact withthe object or phenomenon being investigated. Sonar, radar seismicity, resistivity, and infrared have long been used in such fields as geology, military science, meteorolo- gy, space exploration, and ecology. Only recently, however, have they come into their own as engineering tools, and Donohue has been playing an important role in defining and setting standards for this use. Among Donohue's successful remote sensing projects have been mechanical and electrical equipment scans, pavement delamination and debonding investi- gations and energy audits. Donohue's commitment to energy- efficient building design is evidenced by their passive solar n rporate of headquarters in Sheboyga the first office buildings in the Midwest to incorporate daylighling, it also makes use of maximum southern exposure, earth sheltering, water storage tubes, automatic insulating window shades, and specially de. signed electrical and mechanical systems. The firm has designed several passive solar municipal build- ings and is currently applying passive solar techniques to a new environmen- tal awareness center for the Haven - woods Forest Preserve in Milwaukee. A sampling of some recent projects shows Donohue's wide-ranging capa- bilities: • a 3,000 -person administrative and living compound in Saudi Arabia. • process piping for desalination plants in Aruba, the Netherlands Antilles. • more than 75 sewer system analyses and 100 leak detection/water system studies. • a computerized maintenance management program for the world's largest indoor aquarium • more than 250 bridge designs and improvements. In summary .. Donohue is looking to the rest of the 1980's and beyond with a great deal of optimism. "We have a solid core of strength here in the upper Midwest and an unflagging commitment to provide service, value, and worth;' sums up Keith Garnett. 'This commit- ment will go with us as we expand into other geographic areas over the next several years.

Then, an arcliitect gives his views, looking at a Salt Lake City building for ways to cut energy consumption and costs RT sllal Dagmmnl and fames Rosen If energy efficiency were the only crite- rion for office building design, a com- pletely underground building would be the ultimate energy-efficient building. While this may sound like a heresy, such a building would have negligible heat loss or gain through its walls and roof. In fact, with currently available high efficiency lighting sources, an un- derground building could have a total energy budget of less than 25,000 BTU/sq. fl./yr. almost anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, the underground of- fice building would have several ad- vantages over its above -ground coun- terparts. First, without windows, occupants could be located anywhere necessary to maximize organizational efficiency, since executive offices wouldn't need views. Second, mechani- cal systems could be very simple, since thermal loads would be relatively con- stant. Design objectives With these advantages, why are there so few successful underground office buildings? In order to under- stand the reasons, one must consider the objectives for the construction and design of commercial office buildings. In addition to meeting external crite- ria such as zoning laws, building codes, transportation access and site con- straints, commercial offices must meet the following internal objectives: • Work spaces should be pleasant, comfortable and safe for the occupants. • Construction costs should meet the owner's economic criteria. • For maximum business efficiency, mechanical and electrical systems must be flexible enough to accommo- date changes in office layout, equip- ment and work schedules. • The building should not waste en- ergy. Underground buildings often satisfy the final three objectives: economy, flexibility and energy efficiency. How- ever, they rarely meet the first objec. tive, the need for a pleasant, comfort- able environment. Buildings without windows do not satisfy the human need for light and view. This objective, occupant satisfaction, is the most im- portant of the four criteria outlined above. To understand why, consider that energy costs are usually less than $2/sq. ft./yr. In contrast, salaries and benefits can exceed $200/sq. R./yr. At $3/sq. f<./yr., even cleaning and mainte- nance costs exceed annual energy costs. Clearly, improving the satisfac. tion and productivity of the occupants should take priority over reducing en- ergy consumption. This article presents an approach to building energy conservation that not only significantly reduces energy con- sumption, but also improves the interi- or work environment. The approach is applicable primarily to new buildings with high lighting and equipment loads. It consists of four major strate- 0 �I I u A NComponents ofsuccessful daylighting N figure l: Clear day solar beat gain Ibmugb a single /ajer of clear glass at JO' norlb latitude. sive winter heat loss, and excessive summer heat gain. The minimal glass areas that result are undesirable since they sacrifice the psychological benefit of light and view as well as the poten- tial energy benefits of daylighting. Both the glass box of the 1960s and the three-foot strip windows of the 1970s have led to uncomfortable buildings. With proper climatic design, though, the need for light and view can be balanced with the need for energy con. servation. The first step toward climatic adap- tation should be an analysis of mass- ing and orientation, since this deter- mines solar heat gain through the fenestration. Figure 1 shows solar heat gain through a single layer of clear glass during sunny days throughout the year. As can be seen, both east and west exposures receive maximum solar radiation during summer months. To minimize both installed cooling equip- ment sizes and energy consumption, buildings should minimize their east and west facades. South -facing glass transmits more than 50% less solar heat than east or west glass during the peak cooling season. In addition, a south exposure receives almost 200% more solar radia- tion during clear winter days. Build- ings should maximize their southern exposures in order to increase winter solar heat gain while minimizing sum- mer heat gain. Since unshaded horizontal glass also has maximum summer heat gain and minimum winter heat gain, it should not be used unless shaded during sum. mer months. The second step toward climatic ad- aptation, proper fenestration design, is important to maximize the climatic advantages of correctly oriented build- ings. When site restrictions, traffic patterns or views require large east and west exposures, good fenestration design can minimize inherent climatic disadvantages. Proper fenestration design should maximize view, daylighting and win. ter sun, while minimizing summer sun, glare, winter heat loss and noise. If daylight is utilized, well-designed fenestration can reduce building ener- gy consumption. Artificial lighting consumes approximately 40% of a typi- cal office building's energy require. ments. In perimeter zones, a well- designed daylighting scheme will reduce lighting electrical use by 30% to 50%. There are three essential compo- nents to a successful daylighting de- sign. First, glare must be controlled. Otherwise, daylighting savings may not be realized since occupants are likely to close blinds or curtains. Sec- ond, the daylighting system must be carefully integrated with the artificial lighting system. No matter how much daylight is available, no energy will be saved unless the electric lighting sys- tem is dimmed or turned off. Third, mechanical systems should be de- signed to maximize daylighting sav- ings through recovery and thermal storage. Figure 2 shows one successful win- dow design solution for the south fa- cade of a recently completed project. In addition to proper orientation and fenestration design, other following climatic assets should be considered. When the daily temperature swing around the comfort zone is large, ener- gy-efficient night cooling should be considered. Single and dual stage evaporative cooling may be feasible in areas with low summer humidity. A water source heat pump can provide summer cooling and winter heating when above or underground water sources, such as wells, lakes and rivers are available. Use internal heat gain The next major design strategy is utilization of internal heat gain. The heat generated by lighting, people and equipment in large commercial build- ings commonly exceeds 10 BTU/sq, ft. As a result, these buildings require cooling throughout the winter in core areas. This excess heat can be recov- ered to meet the building's heating requirements. Experience has shown that designing internal source heat pumps to meet 50% of the peak heating requirements will reduce total build- ing heating requirements by about 80%. Utilization of internally generated heat has the following advantages: In many areas of the country, this heat will cost less than gas or oil heat. fbr example, if electricity costs $.05/ kilowatt hour and oil costs $1.50/ gallon, internal source hent pumps can supply hent at $3/million BTU, where- as oil will cost $16/million BTU. Excess internal heat gain may be 1161 sold for a profit, in some cases. For example, many computer centers dis- card large amounts of heat. If a com- puter center having a 5,000 ton cooling plant could sell 50% of its excess heat at a price equivalent to oil at $.75/gal., it could earn $250,000 per year ($500/ ton/year). Internal source heat recov- ery systems can recover low grade solar heat from passive solar energy systems. There are several types of internal source heat pumps. The arrangement show in Figure 4 is actually a simple extension of a standard refrigeration plant. The building heat removed by the refrigeration plant is normally re- jected to the outside through the cool- ing tower and refrigeration condenser. By simply adding a second refrigera- tion condenser, the heat can be divert. ed, either to heat the building itself, or to be sold. Internal source heat pump systems are most efficient when integrated with thermal storage systems. During cold weather, thermal storage systems can store this internally generated heat along with low grade solar heat gain for nighttime use (Figure 3). Reduce cooling energy consumption As already discussed, proper orien- tation and window design will sub- stantially reduce summer heat gain. However, the following measures can further reduce cooling loads: is Variable water or air supply - re- heat systems should be avoided in f vor of variable air volume or fan coil a systems. • Efficient lighting systems - New luminaires and light sources can often supply higher quality light at less cost. • Free cooling - economizer cooling /SUM ''• SUN / WIN' REFLECTOR BOUNCES WINTER SUN DEEP INTO SPACE ARTIFICIAL' SPECULAI CURVE LIGHTING DIMMED D IN RESPONSE CURE TO PHOTOCELLS OVERHANG AND LIGHT SHELF BLOCK SKY DOME GLARE HEAT IN SUMMER LIGHT SHELF i' BOUNCES LIGHT �•� INSIDE WHILE REJECTING SOLAR HEAT 1 Figure 1: (above) Daylight and arllflclal light systern combine ' to create a pleasing, energy-effidenl environment jar the iMnobue building.

Mechanical systems are expensive and frequently difficult to operate on dilute wastes. Lagoon systems are susceptible to algae growth which can cause violation of effluent standards. A better process for some applications is recirculating sand filtration, a wastewater rentmet system s a high quality that relies on low technology, produces effluent, and consumes a small fraction of the energy required by many conventional systems. Intermittent sand filtration technology, upon which the recirculating sand filter is based, is one of the oldest methods of wastewater treatment. The inter- mittent sand filter typically follows a septic tank or aerobic treatment process. The filter consists of a bed of granular media, generally a uniform coarse sand. An underdrain system collects the treated effluent from the filter for discharge to a surface water. Recirculating Sand Filter System The recirculating sand filter system is a recent reappli- cation of intermittent sand filtration technology firs used in the United States in the late 1800s. The major components ofsthe filterma are a low g tthe ank, a dosing pump, splitter to allow recirculation of a portion of the filter effluent. The system is shown schematically in Figure 1. A profile of the filter is shown in Figure 2. Secondary and advanced treatment is provided by the sand filter which consists of a sand bed 60-90 centi- meters deep and an underdrain collection system. Effluent is distributed intermittently over the sand bed with either a pipe or trough system. The waste- water undergoes extensive treatment as it percolates slowly through the sand bed. SPLITTER ar'IEFFLUENT ' DOSING DOSING PUMPS, �. L� _�,•RECIRCULATIONL-� _J. A portion of the filter effluent is discharged, and a portion is recirculated to the dosing tank. Recircu- lation minimizes odors experienced in once -through systems and results in improved effluent quality. Intermittent sand filters have traditionally been used in two forms. The buried filter is constructed below ground and is therefore not accessible for main- tenance. Because surface tilling and sand replacement are not possible, the buried filter is designed for low hydraulic loading rates. The conventional open sand filter is exposed to the atmosphere. Therefore, periodic maintenance of the filter surface is possible. High Quality Effluent Soil has long been recognized as an excellent medium for purification of wastewater. "Sewage farming" was used by many European cities during the mid -18005. Intermittent sand filtration came into use both in Europe and the United States by the late 18005. Twenty-one years of research were conducted on intermittent sand filtration of wastewater between 1887 and 1909 at the Lawrence Experiment Station in Massachussetts. Complex treatment mechanisms of physical straining, adsorption, and biochemical oxidation are at work as wastewater percolates through a sand filter. As in other biological wastewater treatment processes, bacteria provide most of the treatment occurring in the sand filter. Numerous species of bacteria have been identified in the sand filter, each removing different compounds from wastewater. Certain species reside in greatest numbers near the surface while others are most numerous in the deeper layers of the sand bed. Higher forms of microscopic life are also present in the sand filter, including protozoa and metazoa (annelid worms, flatworms, nematodes, rotifers, water mites, insects, and insect larvae). Most of the work to date has been on treatment of septic tank effluent from domestic systems. Effluent biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids J(V r - levels are often 5-10 mg/I or less. High levels of nitrification are also reported. li Simplicity of Operation Simplicity of operation is one of the more important advantages of the recirculating sand filter system. It can be operated and maintained with low skilled labor because little process control is required. The sand filter should be maintained at a frequency depending on the quality of wastewater applied to the filter, the hydraulic loading rate used, and the coarseness of the filter media. The filter surface should be raked and leveled every one to three weeks. Sand should be skimmed from the surface periodi- cally to prevent clogging. After 30 cm of sand has been removed, new sand should be added. During low flow periods, either the sand filter can be operated at a loading rate lower than originally designed or a portion of the filter can be taken out of service. Resting a portion of the sand filter has the benefit of naturally regenerating the media. A sand filter can easily be brought back into service by directing wastewater flow to the filter. The sand filter will normally mature within a few days to two weeks. Another important advantage of the recirculating sand filter is that it is relatively easily expanded and is therefore adaptable to staging. The sand filter can be expanded in modules as wastewater loadings increase. Energy Efficiency and Siting Flexibility Two other advantages of the recirculating sand filter system are its energy efficiency and siting flexibility. The recirculating sand filter does not depend on a mechanical system for aeration and, consequently, consumes 70 to 80 percent less energy than many conventional wastewater treatment systems. The sand filter is maintained in an aerobic state merely through intermittent dosing and resting. The only energy required by the recirculating sand filter system is for operation of the dosing pumps. Lagoon treatment systems (mechanically aerated lagoons or stabilization ponds) are often preferred systems for small wastewater flows because of their relatively low cost and simplicity of operation. Obstacles frequently encountered in use of lagoons, however, are siting restrictions and effluent require- ments. Although the recirculating sand filter has the opera- tional simplicity of a lagoon system, it is not as dependent on specific site conditions as are lagoons. A sand filter system requires much less land area than stabilization ponds or aerated lagoons. Minimum soil cover over bedrock or groundwater is also not critical. In addition, the recirculating sand filter is capable of producing a higher quality effluent without the algae growth associated with lagoon systems.

To Save Energy Dollars, Start with a Sound Audit by Carl J. Mlchala, P.E. Bafore the oil embargo of 1973 made its mark on the U.S. economy, not much attention was paid by the gener- al public to the consequences of de- pleting our apparently limited energy sources. Awareness increased during the winter of 1976 when industries and schools in numerous areas were forced to close due to shortages of natural gas. The foreign oil cutbacks early in 1979 kindled a new awareness that energy conservation must become a way of life. Industries, municipalities and homeowners began examining their energy consumption closely, as well as ways to use energy more efficiently. An example of this kind of examina- tion was the energy -use analysis con- ducted for the Marinette, Wisconsin municipal wastewater treatment plant. The methods and techniques employ- ed included an equipment inventory analysis, acquisition of operating re- cords and on-site data collection. En- ergy requirements of the existing pro- cesses and sludge handling systems were also reviewed. The 4.5-mgd wastewater treatment plant, constructed in 1971, provides secondary treatment, phosphorus re- moval and chlorination of the effluent. The major process units of the plant consist of a grit removal basin, primary clarifiers, aeration tanks, secondary clarifiers and a chlorine contact cham- ber. The sludge removed in the treat- ment processes is dewatered on a vac- uum filler and incinerated in a multi- ple -hearth incinerator. Residue ash from this unit is hauled to the city's sanitary landfill for ultimate disposal. Plant operating records Indicate re- ductions of over 90 percent of the Influent DOD, SS and phosphorus con- centrations of all combined wastewat- er Dow which is processed through the plant. A comparison of the effluent quality of Marinette's facility to the EPA's definition of secondary treat- ment reveals that the city's wastewater treatment plant is achieving excellent operating results. The operation and maintenance costs during 1976 were approximately $304,000. To start the energy -use evaluation process, an equipment data inventory analysis should be performed. This will develop a familiarity with the wastewater treatment plant processes and equipment in question. Design data, construction plans, and process specifications should be reviewed by the audit team to gain the necessary insight as to the plant's physical layout, equipment and treatment process functions. The audit team should con- sist of mechanical, electrical and sani- tary engineers since the expertise of each discipline is required. Once this familiarity has been de- veloped, any available equipment sub- mittal/approval drawings for the in- stalled equipment should be reviewed. All installed equipment should be identified and tabulated. Information relative to the description and type of equipment, its manufacturer, rated ca- pacity, rated efficiency and motor nameplate data should be able to be obtained in this matter. In addition to providing the information required about equipment characteristics, the equipment data inventory analysis will provide further insight into the type of on-site data collection needed. Operating records, energy consump- tion figures and operating costs are required to assess the relative costs and relative energy intensity/efficien- cY of various treatment equipment, process and sludge handling systems. Also, in order to prepare comparisons between existing systems and possibly more efficient alternate systems, the relative operating cost and power or energy usage of the units or systems are required. Utility companies, which are essen- tially energy providers, serving the wastewater treatment plant, should be Identified and subsequently contacted to acquire data regarding quantitative recorded usage and cost rate struc- tures. Financial records should be ob- tained from the owner of the plant and reviewed to determine energy, labor, chemical, maintenance, debt service and other operating costs. Orice the work Involved in assem- bling, analyzing and reviewing the information described under the operating records and equipment data inventory/analysis presented earlier is completed, determination of what type WATER/Enoinwring 8 Management, DECEMBER 1992 of field data should be collected can be made. Arrangements for a field trip to the plant site should be arranged with city officials and/or plant operators. Electrical information to be gather- ed should include: motor nameplate data, operating field data, voltage cur- rent draw and power factor measure- ment for each motor or motor system of 5 hp or larger. Voltage, current and power factor measurements can be used to calculate the power input to the motors in kw. Motor and system efficiencies can thus be calculated. To Identify any process operations that might be adaptable for heat recov- ery purposes, equipment surface and cooling air temperatures can be taken with hand-held thermometers. Units such as blowers, large variable speed motors and the incineration systems can be checked in this manner. A com- bination gas analyzer is convenient for testing the incinerator exhaust gases for indications of poor efficiency due to either incomplete combustion or ex- cess combustion air. Normal operating schedules for each system can be obtained through discussion with the operators so an estimate of annual operating hours can be made for each motor included In the study. Additonal operational schedule information is usually avail- able from plant records. To evaluate the performance of the various pumping systems, flow and pressure data can be collected. Flow information can be obtained from plant meters where available. if there are no flowmeters, flow data can be measured and recorded with a porta- ble, clamp -on device. Pump suction and discharge pressure data Is mea- sured with a pressure gauge.Indepen- dent tachometer readings for variable speed pumping equipment should be taken to verify the speed indicated at the pump control panels. Aeration blower data should include ammeter air flow rate and discharge pressure. Photographs can be a useful supple- ment to technical and operating data collected. A number of photographs should be taken to serve as visual ref- erences during the preparation of the report and to serve as an illustration of the equipment used. With the field data collected for each of the process and sludge ban ling systems to be investigated, th. energy usage analysis can commence. '--" The evaluation should include a cost- effectiveness analysis of replacing nonefficient motors with high efficien- cy or smaller motors, replacement of existing pumps with more efficient units, and a discussion of how individ- ual process and sludge handling sys- tems could be replaced, modified, or operated more efficiently to reduce _ energy consumption. Any cost-effectiveness analysis should he made in general accordance Y" with the EPA guidelines. The selection i-� of a useful service life, usually the design year of the wastewater treat- ment plant, should be used for this w! analysis. The energy usage analysis at the Marinette plant resulted in several en- ergy conservation and operational pro- - cedure recommendations, including: a Replacement of 100 -hp aeration blower motors with 75 -hp units which proved to be cost effective. *Replacement of coarse bubble diffusers with a fine bubble system showed the annual aeration power us- age/cost could be reduced by approxi- mately 50 percent. A more detailed study was recommended. a The raw wastewater pump field data showed a wire -to -water efficien. cy of about 30 percent. Equipment data Indicated the field condition efficiency should have been in excess of 60 per- cent. An annual power savings of $5,000 could be realized if the system performed to its rated efficiency. An estimate of the existing and pro. jected sludge quantities is necessary to review the performance of existingsol. fds processing systems and to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of various sludge processing alternatives. Sludge treatment and disposal rep- resent a major segment of the operat- ing cost and energy consumption of a wastewater treatment system. Sludge handling costs as high as 60 percent of the total treatment costs are common. The solids content of various sludge streams such as primary sludge, gravity or air flotation -thickened sludge, di. gested sludge, vacuum filter or sludge press feed, and dewalered sludge should be analyzed and evaluated for the optimum operating concentration. A decrease from the optimum solids content has a drastic effect on sludge volume and, consequently, on the as- sociated energy and operating costs. Alternative sludge processes are available and treatment and disposal of sludge can be accomplished by nu. merous schemes. Several alternative sludge processing methods should be discussed and investigated to deter- mine which is most cost-effective for the plant in question. An energy -use analysis of the systems being investi. gated should be included as part of the investigation. The alternatives identified as having the potential to reduce sludge process. ing costs and energy consumption at Marinette were: a Vacuum filtration and incinera. tion: optimization of existing sludge processing; aSludge storage, vacuum filtration and incineration; a Anaerobic digestion, vacuum fil- tration and filter cake disposal; a Anaerobic digestion, sludge stor- age and liquid sludge disposal. In Marinette's case, a cost-effective- ness analysis was performed to deter- mine which alternative would mini- mize total resource costs until 1990— the design year of the existing waste. water treatment plant. Annual operm- and maintenance cods, wture costs ..d salvage values were converted to a single payment present worth using factors computed at 6Y, percent in. terest. The various operating cost com. ponents such as labor, electric power and natural gas were taken as the cur. rent market values. Inflation of prices and wages was not considered. A summary of the cost-effectiveness analysis including values for the esti. mated energy requirements for the al. ternatives is shown in the table. Optimization of the existing vacuum filtration and sludge incineration pro. cesses had the lowest present worth of the alternatives analyzed. However, it was also the most energy intensive. The 1978 total energy value was more than double that of the second most attractive alternate—sludge storage, vacuum filtration and incineration. The most cost-effective scheme also was projected to have the highest an. nual O&M costs. In spite of this, and given also the comparatively high en- ergy consumption of the method, the annual costs were more than offset by the zero initial capital investment and the relatively short present worth anal. ysis period which minimized the annu. al cost component. The most energy conserving alterna- tive, anaerobic digestion, followed by vacuum filtration and filler cake dis. posal, had a 1978 total energy value approximately 3 percent of that for the most cost-effective alternate. The ini- tial capital cost in the present worth analysis more than offsets the savings with less energy consumption. Anaerobic digestion with sludge storage and liquid land disposal of sludge had the least annual operating and maintenance costs. However, it required the greatest initial capital in. vestment in the Marinette example. WATER/Engineering a Management.

Speed, accuracy, flexibility, and economy are some of the important advantages computer- aided design and drafting (CADD) brings to our t client's engineering, architectural, and mapping t + projects. j t Speed. Donohue is a leader in the CADD field. t + Our dynamic system marks a revolutionary change in a the design and drafting process. Instead of ! + working at drafting tables, i we use dual -screen workstations and advanced t computer technology to i., explore design ideas, produce drawings, and generate maps at a speed unattainable by manual „ methods. And this speed means a more cost- effective product for our client. Accuracy. CADD system computer programs enable the user to construct complex shapes, recall repetitive details, overlay and scale drawings, and _ prepare designs for plotting. The system also allows for a wide variety of numeric and other — information to be tied to the graphic information. Because the CADD system, in effect, creates the project at actual size in its memory and constantly checks internal dimensions, the resulting plans and maps have greater accuracy than can be achieved by drawing at a small scale. Flexibility. At the workstations, engineers, architects, designers, and drafters interact with the computer using electronic ..menus" containing drawing symbols and a typewriter keyboard for text and numeric data. These menus list the shapes that designers can choose to make a drawing. In addition to the menu of standard shapes and symbols, Donohue creates its own special menus to meet the needs of specific disciplines or projects. CADD workstations Ilbl Specialized menus greatly enhance the operator's speed and reduce errors in drafting. The drawings created on the dual display screens, as well as information input about them, are written on a magnetic disk so they can be recalled quickly and then easily altered or rearranged until the designer and client are satisfied. The dual -screen workstations give the designer the flexibility of seeing as many as eight different views of a single drawing. Economy. All these advantages mean Donohue can provide its clients with cost-effective engineering, architectural, and mapping products. Today's economy makes anything less unacceptable.

Donohue's integration of two independent computer - systems results in superior service for our clients. Through this innovative process, our CADD (computer-aided design r, and drafting) system and the VAX 11/780 (time- sharing computer) combine their numeric and graphic capabilities. This provides our engineers and architects with a myriad of design techniques, easily adaptable to each clients specific Project. And for our clients, CADD provides cost-effective, accurate LJ project documents. CADD case studies have shown that a five to ten percent decrease in construction costs can occur with CADD-produced _ contract drawings. Contributing factors to this decrease are reduced errors and conflicts as well as cleaner, more concise, and better coordinated drawings — all enabling — the contractor to bid more accurately and with fewer contingencies. -- At Donohue, we use CADD's time and cost economies to provide _ increased adaptability, sensitivity, and responsiveness to our clients' objectives and — requirements.

Our typical development of a building design using the CADD system includes: 9 Site analysis and alternatives. The site is modeled in 3-D including ground contours, existing facilities, utilities, roadways, vegetation, and water. F':1 0 Alternative rough massing designs are also modeled in 3-D. Each alternative can be viewed from a variety of key locations and is presented by simulating a "walk -around" the building, "drive-by," or "flyover." Solar analysis and context analysis. Energy design begins with exploring solar access to the site and proposed building. Included in the ttanalysis are issues of � passive and active solar �/_ energy use, daylighting, and shading for cooling. Because CADD simulates accurate solar geometry for any location and day of the year, the viewer, in effect, can become the sun. This technique, called "sun shots," assists the designer in properly locating the building on the site and allowing for the desired solar access. As the design develops, details of window openings, solar collectors, and shading devices are studied. It is also possible k to explore the effect of vegetation growth during the life of the building. fOW At the same time solar design is explored, the designer studies the compatability of the 1tW Llr w I RI � I I – proposed building with its surroundings. This includes comparing building heights, massing scale, set -backs, and styles. The designer is looking for a fit of old and new. With CADD, the client sees how the building looks in its context from any viewpoint and how the sun strikes each facade of the building at any time. Interior space planning and design. Interior spaces, along with locations of equipment and furnishings, are studied in two or three dimensions. The client can receive startup plans as well as alternatives for future interior modifications and adaptations. Interior areas may be viewed from all directions and at any scale. Systems development and contract documents. CADD encourages the architectural application of good systematic thinking. Generic details, standard details, schedules, and J modular coordination — all concepts which produce better, more cost-effective buildings — can be efficiently and accurately _ produced on CADD. These drawings are primarily two- dimensional. Interdisciplinary decisions are integrated and managed through the use of CADD levels and updating. All disciplines _ know the status and dimensional interrelationships of the building because of the – CADD system. The search for interferences and clarification of complex conditions is aided by 3-D CADD studies. Bidding, cost estimating, and management. After contract documents are generated using CADD, additional applications can continue since the drawing data remains in the computer. Cost estimating and material take -offs are facilitated by CADD's measuring systems. Distribution of documents to contractors and subcontractors is possible from CADD stations in the future. Finally, documentation of the building "as built" is a major service facilitated by CADD. Additional CADD architectural services. • Transferring "hand -drawn" documents to CADD memory for facilities management and other uses. n • Surveying existing structures and directly transferring instrument readings and other data to CADD memory. This is the basis for renovation and building adaptation studies. • Managing resources of facilities such as industrial materials flow, movement on the site, and process plant layout modeled in 2-D or 3-D. • Office and space planning including inventory, reuse, and office landscape. Also, such tasks as analysis of proximity, circulation, capacity, utilization, and scheduling can be enhp�nced by CADD or by intelfacing CADD data files with other computer programs. \V"%vl� ' CADD's "sun shots" of a passive solar building are used In energy design to accurately predict solar performance for any location, season, and hour. 011 Ir Architecture is a leading form -giving discipline, and its goal of defining a building or facility is fundamental. The introduction of computer- aided design and drafting into this design field has been received with great enthusiasm, because CADD: • Allows creativity to occur in response to site, program, and client needs. • Encourages exploration of alternatives. • Communicates the design to the client with clarity and veracity. • Allows the design to develop in a timely and cost-effective manner. • Produces integrated data bases that improve the design quality of all disciplines.

A Legacy from Construction Grants by JWW S. Kipp Compelled by the tight economy to re-examine operational practices, and because the future of the U.S. EPA Construction Grants Program is uncer- tain at best, communities must begin to face wastewater -related problems in new ways. Building on the skills, tech- nologies and equipment developed within EPA -funded projects can allow the program's benefits to continue af- ter the program itself is discontinued. Participation in scares of wastewater collection/treatment projects, both EPA -sponsored and privately fi- nanced, has provided consulting firms like Donohue the opportunity to ob- serve a broad range of collection sys- tem conditions and configurations. The varied sizes and operational stales of these systems has prompted develop- ment and refinement of investigative procedures, field equipment, data management capabilities and the gen- eral approach to solving collection sys- tem problems. During these sewer sys- tem investigations, the full spectrum of system maintenance situations have been encountered—from emergency. only responses to planned, full-scale sewer maintenance programs con- ducted with the same resolve as fire protection or refuse collection. How- ever, because lack of comprehensive collection system maintenance was the general rule, strategies and services for maintenance programs where none exist, or where problems are ad- dressed only after they occur, have been developed. These new ap- proaches, along with recently devel- oped repair methods and products, represent long-term benefits of the de- clfning Construction Grants Program. Most sewer systems require an ini- tial effort to locale and correct existing problems. A typical maintenance chronolo6,), Is:I1j Inspect and inventory the existing system; (3) repair defects to restore system performance; and 13) establish a routine Inspection/docu- menlolion/repair strategy to maintain the desired level of performance. A comprehensive program for col. lection system maintenance includes a series of support functions, inspection techniques and repair methods. Planned and carried out on a regular basis, this phased program identifies documents and repairs sewer system defects to mitigate the effects of exist. ing deficiencies and prevent the devel- opment of new problems. Sound, logi- cal documentation is required to ade- quately track past activities and plan future operations. A typical sewer maintenance program can consist of three distinct phases. Phase 1 has three elements: smoke testing, surface survey of manholes and manhole frame testing. These re- quire minimal effort and generally identify most severe clearwaler and some structural problems. Smoke test- ing involves blowing nontoxic smoke through the sanitary sewer system and noting points where it emanates from buildings or ground surfaces. In a sur- face manhole survey, the location of manhole covers and problems with surface runoff and ponding areas are observed. The condition of the frame/ cone Interface is examined, since this can be a major inflow source. Manhole frame testing involves flooding streets near manholes to determine inflow rates and repair recommendations. In addition to identifying problems, these activities locate previously undocu- mented sewer modifications and aid in developing an accurate sewer system inventory. Phase Il includes two elements: dye water flooding and complete manhole inspection. Efforts are more extensive and result in the identification of gross clearwater and structural problems. During the dye water flooding opera- tion, the tested sanitary sewer is moni- tored for increased Bow or dye pres- ence. Dye presence indicates a cross connection, often a broken sewer pipe or service lateral, which needs further investigation to Precisely identify. Complete manhole inspection Involves entering each manhole and examining the structural condition and cleertwater problems. Phase 111 consists of three elements which can precisely locale and evalu. ate problems: sewer cleaning, internal tohnisiun inspection and root control, Internal television inspection can have the highest unit cosi of any field inves.

Copper sulfate or foam productscun be used to control root intrusion. Since mechank cal methods can have a pruning effect anti encourage root growth, it careful evaluation of root control methods needs to be made. Elements of each phase can be em- phasized or deleted in response to ongoing maintenance activities. goals. equipment, manpower levels and bud- gets established by the community. The phased approach to maintenance requires that each element produce justification for subsequent elements. System size, sewer age, existing problems, present maintenance staff and future areas for expansion all need to be addressed when establish- ing a program. A comprehensive main- tenance program can permit schedul- ing of repairs and development of sub- sequent activities a year in advance. The result is a program filling overall maintenance objectives and tailored to budget constraints. Contract maintenance services are being used increasingly by communi- ties to achieve collection system main- tenance objectives. Experience gained In dealing with many server systems has resulted in highly efficient inspec- tion techniques, innovative and pro- ductive equipment and a labor force skilled in inspection/repair lechnolo. by. Cont -act service teams can conduct the full spectrum of maintenance ac• livities or augment the community's existing staff and equipment. Smaller communities and sanilnry districts have found that using contract forces to conduct all maintenance tasks provides them with the benefits of n regular program, as well as a fixed budget amount developed in advance. Individual arrangements. including emergency maintenance service, can be specifically tailored to the commu- nity's needs.

Community Undergoes Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Slip -lining over a mile of existing sanitary sewer lines along with ex- tensive chemical grouting are the maj- or factors in rehabilitation of a small community's aging sewer system. Ex- tensive root infiltration, broken pipe and ground water Infiltration were some of the causes of flooded base- ments and pollution problems for the Village of North Fond du Lac, Wiscon- sin, and this situation dictated com- plete rehabilitation of a sanitary sew- er system. Decision to slip -line and grout major portions of the village's clay pipe sewer lines was prompted by a consulting engineering firm review and with work nearly complete, the decision has proven to be prudent. North Fond du Lac engaged Dono- hue &c Associates, Inc., consulting en- gineers headquartered at Sheboygan, Wisconsin, In 1972 to review the sewer problems, inspect the lines and make recommendations to alleviate problems. The village's quest for federal aid on the rehabilitation project produced nor- mal time delays, however, Donohue as- sisted the client in gaining financial help and drew plans to solve the prob- lems. Television Inspection of the ex- isting lines was completed about four years ago and revealed the seriousness of the situation. Pollution problems were caused by the extensive root in- filtration at pipe bells, poor repair of pipe in some 300 locations, high ground water tables and considerable clear wa- ter Infiltration. In essence, much of the pipe in the sanitary system had lost its structural Integrity. Desire to return the structural in. tegrity to the lines presented the en- gineers with the choice of re-laying over a mile of pipe or of polyethylene Storage of the polyethylene liner prove$ to be a challenge.

Slip -lining was selected on the basis of economics and performance — a 35 percent saving plus return of structural integrity to the line is ex- pected. The village bid the project late last year and prices on slip -lining 4,343 lin. ft. of 8 -Inch sanitary sewer in 14 lines and 950 lin. ft. of 10 inch in four lines, plus extensive grouting, lateral repair, new connections, manhole re- pair and testing varied considerably. Super Excavators, Inc., Menomonee Falls, was the successful bidder at $348,851.09 with the next bidder com- ing in at $488,928. High figure from five contractors was $705,976. Variance in bids was attributed to the "unfamiliarity" of area contractors with slip -lining. Super Excavators ac- knowledged that there was apprehen- sion when the job started In early April of this year, however, with over 50 per cent of the pipe slip -lining com- pleted, fears have been dispelled and conviction that "it was the best way to go" has surfaced. Work Sequence Super works a 10 man slip -lining force and, according to Tom Muth, pro- ject engineer for Super Excavators, men and machinery work the lines in single file or are assigned in a "train - like" fashion.

Two Case 580 loader-backhoes and a Hydynamic backhoe follow the larger excavator and gently expose the pipe at all laterals. This combination was used to open some 300 holes along the lines. As the clay pipe is exposed, two- man crews check and wet test laterals. When live laterals are identified, the clay line is broken, a sump is dug be- neath the line and the lateral is read- ied for connection to file polyethylene pipe. While the excavating and prep work is underway, a two man crew prepares the polyethylene pipe for slip4ining. The contractor selected Nipak polyethy- lene pipe and relied on Ojibwe Ma- terials Supply & Service, of Janesville, for materials inventory. Polyethylene pipe of 6.625 -in. and 8.625 -in. outside diameter was speced for the 8 and 10 - Inch lines respectively.

The as- sembled polyethylene pipe is stored on the road bed outside an insertion pit which is excavated off a manhole. The pit is some 26h times as long as the depth of the sewer to be relined. Pulling the Pipe Prior to pulling the polyethylene lin- er a pulling head is fused onto the line and the line Is air tested.

The polyethylene pipe fitted with the pulling head is attached to the pulling cable and set into line in the insertion pit at the manhole. The re- line pipe is aligned with the existing sewer and winched slowly through the line. As the pipe is slipped to a lateral connection, a laborer checks the pipe, makes sure all debris falls into the sump dug to accept such and guides the pipe into the next section of the sewer line. Pulling the pipe through the sewer is a simple matter. Super Excavators completed a 668 -ft. pull of 6.625 -in. pipe in just 19 minutes. Six connec- tions were present along the route. The contractor reported that a 950 -ft. pull of 6 -inch into 8 -Inch pipe was com- pleted in 34 minutes and a 954 -ft. pull of 8.625 -in. Into 10 -in. was completed In under one hour. There is considerable stretching or thermal change in polyethylene pipe during the pulling sequence. One of the 6.625 O.D. pipes stretched some 3 -ft. over a 950-fL pull. The polyethy- lene liner pipe returns to its original dimension in a matter of hours follow - Ing the pull. When the line has return- ed to its original size, all lines are pressure tested prior to connection of service laterals. Minimal Interruption Interruption of service during the excavating, pulling and reconnection of service laterals is minimal. Enough an- nular space is present between the existing line and the polyethylene pipe to handle the normal sewage Bow, the contractor does not have to by-pass sewage around the sections being slip - lined. While excavation, prep work, slip - lining and pressure testing is laid out to be completed In a single day, anoth- er day is allowed for connection of lat- erals and backfilling. Lateral connec- tions are effected by joining PVC pipe sections to the polyethylene liner pipe with gasketed saddles. Connections are then scaled. The contractor used a spa - clot 3M jute material for grout of the liner at manholes. The contractor and the engineer ac- knowledged that the slip -lining phase of the rehabDitation work has been ac- complished because of mutual co-opera- tion. Both parties called It a "learning experience." Super Excavators Is pleased with progress registered to dale nod Dono- hue & Associates echo tills feeling. The engineers note that many communities in this area are faced with problems similar to those of North Fond du Lac and such communities are likely to find the answer to their similar sew- age system problems In slip -lining with polyethylene pipe. WESTERN BUILDER, July 6, 1978 Reprinted from the July, 1980, issue of Donohue News D'gest, published quarterly by Donohue & Associates, Inc. Sewer Survey Project is BIC By the fall of 1980, when the TV cam- eras have stopped rolling and engineers and field crews have moved on, Mil- waukee area sewers will be the most looked at, tested, photographed and analyzed in the country. Meanwhile, a staff of over 250 is at work, surveying nearly 2000 miles of sewer lines throughout the 420 -square - mile Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer- age District, as part of the largest 201 facilities planning effort in the United States. The massive sewer study is a prerequi- site to sewer rehabilitation and elimina- tion of excess clear water from sewers in the 28 communities in the District service area. The sewer repair project is a key element in Milwaukee's water pollution abatement program, which carries a $1.6 billion price tag. Solving the Problem According to Wayne Eckrose, group manager for the Milwaukee sewer sys- tem evaluation survey (SSES) projects, an estimated 90 percent of the area system is subject to excessive clear water. Efforts are needed, he said, to reduce this amount in order to correct sewage bypassing at over 400 locations and to prevent sewage backups into local basements. Additionally, court-ordered schedules require that the District's Facilities Plan, as well as design and construc- tion of several major sewers, proceed prior to completion of the SSES. Thus, pinpointing sources of infiltration and inflow and recommending cost-effec- tive repairs "is more than just a project goal — it's an absolute project require- ment," Eckrose said. Otherwise, the tremendous effort that has gone into the planning of intercep- tors, relief sewers and wastewater treat- ment improvements will require time- consuming and costly revision—some- thing the District simply can not afford, he added. Program Management Because of the monumental size, tech- nical complexity and tight time con- straints of the Milwaukee program, the District has adopted a system of pro- gram management involving a con- sortium of engineering firms, of which Donohue & Associates is a member. r- The District Program Management of- fice retains responsibility for all aspects of the program, including the $24 mil- lion SSES under Eckrose's direction. Tom Jarchow of Donohue's Milwaukee Division serves as project manager for Stage Two, the largest part of the SSES project. He notes that SSES recommendations, anticipated by early 1981, are expected to eliminate approximately 50 percent of the clear water at its source. Project Organization The SSES project began in 1979 and required detailed planning to meet nec- essary deadlines. Early phases of the study involved personnel from six con- sulting firms in the original consortium. Five additional engineering firms, in- cluding four minority businesses, were sub -contracted to meet staffing require- ments. Additional subcontracts have been let to complete cleaning and tele- vising by this fall's deadline. A single, convenient location for per- sonnel and equipment was an impor- tant consideration and led to rental of a former discount warehouse in a northwest Milwaukee shopping center. This 16,000 -square -foot field office ac- commodates the changing numbers of personnel and equipment, and the cen- ter's parking lot provides space for the fleet of vans and trucks involved in field investigations. Elements of the field work under the District -wide SSES effort include: • inspection of 45,000 manholes to locate leaks and defects in manholes, laterals and sewer lines; • physical inspection of 85,000 build- ings, looking for sources of clear water, such as downspouts, founda- tion drains, and sump pumps con- nected to the sanitary system; • smoke testing of 10 million feet of of sewer line, pinpointing roof lead- ers, yard drain and storm sewer con- nections to the sanitary system; • inspection of 23 million feet of sew- er lines by dyed water flooding of streets and storm sewers, locating extraneous flow into the system; and • cleaning and closed circuit TV in- spection of 1.6 million feet of sewer lines. Dealing with Data Thousands of pieces of information gathered in each phase of the field in- vestigations must be reviewed and an- L' bl ;on Milwaukee Bruce LeRoy, Donohue systems ana- lyst, is responsible for the SSES com- puter programming. He explained that 7 ~ ' when engineering personnel are satis- `x3?=''? 1wRe" fled with flow and cost estimates for all tX— defects, individual defect records are combined into a single computer file and prepared for input to the cost- effectiveness analysis and ranking pro- alyzed in developing rehabilitation rec- ommendations. This task would be al- most impossible without a well planned — system of data management and pro- cessing, Jarchow said. He explained that it would literally take years to organize, catalog and quantify the thousands of items of in- formation using "hand" methods. He _ attributes much of the success of the SSES project to the uniform field data collection procedures and specially de- signed output records and computer — programs which have been developed by Donohue specifically for sewer in- vestigations. — Under this system, thousands of the standard forms are completed by field crews and subsequently reviewed by Left Page: Members of area teams, assigned to SSES work In Communities within the District service area, occupy these field office facilities.

The long row of vane behind them and the field crew, lower photo, are representative of the size and scope of the massive sewer survey protect. engineers and data entry personnel. The information is transmitted to a computer, where appropriate programs build data files on the parameters of field inspections. Typical flow rates are assigned for each type of sewer defect, as are costs of repair and recommended rehabilitation measures. This process is completed for each element of the SSES investigations. Another type of office review is pro- vided by the video tape replay of the closed circuit TV inspections of sani- tary sewer lines. Experienced analysts view the tapes and record sewer de- fects, flow rates and other information. Appropriate computer programs then carry out the "busy work" of organiz- ing, sorting and totaling. gram. The amount of flow, rehabilitation cost and comparative costs for each defect determine a ratio which indicates the relative importance of the defects sur- veyed. Output information is then used to determine the number of defects to be repaired, along with the total cost and total flow reduction that can be anticipated in each rehabilitation proj- ect. The scope of the data gathering effort can be appreciated, LeRoy noted, by the sheer volume of information re- corded and analyzed. He estimates that for Stage Two alone, from 30,000- 40,000 defect records were produced. Combined with information from ear- lier analyses, the volume of output records, printed on 81h x I1 -inch pa- per, would build a column over 30 feet high. Important Sources Initial screening of field data and par- tial data analyses confirm that the clear water problem is widespread through- out the District. Preliminary findings indicate the major sources of clear water entry are through defective man- holes and from sources on private property, such as foundation drains. Thus, results of special studies in these two areas will figure significantly in final recommendations. Following completion of the SSES this fall, recommendations for sewer repairs will be made in each community. The repair and rehabilitation program will follow a strict time schedule, in line with pollution abatement program re- quirements. Sewer rehabilitation projects, estimated to cost between §1004200 million, must be completed by mid -1986 to meet court -stipulated timetables, Eck - rose concluded.

PAUL, CHICAGO Sewer System Maintenance Is your sewer collection system being properly maintained? A municipal sewer system represents a major capital investment for a community and is expected to last more than 50 years. To provide uninterrupted service to customers, it is important to establish and implement a responsible annual sewer collection system maintenance program. Donohue has the staff and equipment necessary to conduct this type of program. Typical annual maintenance programs. • Sewer cleaning — 20 to 30 percent of system: hydraulic jet cleaning root cutting bucket cleaning. • Sewer televising — 10 to 20 percent of system: typical collection system sizes large diarneter interceptors walk-through inspection. • Underwater inspection. • Subsystem flow monitoring. • Building inspection (foundation drain control). • Smoke testing. . Manhole inspection. • Dye water flooding. • Deflection testing. . Fluorometric dye testing. • Lift station pump calibration. Donohue's wide experience in all aspects of wastewater collection system operation and maintenance enables us to establish effective programs based on our client's needs — ranging from troubleshooting a specific problem to implementing annual maintenance. To provide optimum service, we own and operate sewer cleaning and internal inspection equipment. flow monitors. sewer plugs, wastewater samplers. smoke blowers. and other equipment.

Waukesha, Wisconsin step takes on a different degree of significance from one project to another. By examining the three steps involved in an overall rehabilita- tion project, it can then be seen where the community's problem of engineer- ing design versus SSES advice began and how it could have been mitigated. Step 1 - SSES and Rehabilitation Recommendations. The SSES proc. ess is a series of investigations throughout the sewer system under- taken to locate sources of I/1, The ul- timate product of lhissurvey is a list of recommended repairs which is de- veloped by examining the cost- effectiveness of repairing each infil. tration or inflow source. The esti- mated entry rale of each identified nfiltration/in8ow source is evaluated with respect to the cost of transporting and treating this I/I at the treatment facility. Those I/I sources which cost ess to repair than to transport and real are defined as excessive and are ecommended to be repaired. The um or these excessive sources forms he rehabilitation recommendations; to list of sewer system defects that equire repair in order to provide lite ost-effective solution to lite problem f excessive I/I. The determination of ost-effectiveness, therefore, de - ends upon the comparison of file re - air cost to the transportation and eahnent cost of the I/I. The cost of repairing each IR source directly influenced by the repair chnique, which is examined for osl-effectiveness. Assignment of a articular repair method is based on e SSES engineer's estimate of the vel of effort required to eliminate fectively the 1/1 through the design eriod, typically 20 years. A sewer e can be totally replaced, partially placed, internally grouted, slip. ed, or repaired by a flexible in. rfed lining. In many cases, a com- nalion of repair methods is recom. ended to handle different problems Ihin the same sewer section. Simi. ly, a manhole can be repaired by al replacement, partial replace. ment, internal or external pressure grouting, lining, or a combination of methods. A structural problem that is not cost-effective to repair is not rec- ommended for rehabilitation, but is reported to the community. Assignment of repair techniques to identified 1/I sources stresses the viability of the repair. For instance, a manhole with cracked precast barrel sections would not be assigned grout. ing as a repair method since it is un- likely that this would effectively eliminate I/I entry through the 20.year design period. The advice would be to replace all or part of the manhole and the repair cost assessed. This standardized method of rehabilitation recommendation has the effect of providing a sound repair method to a particular class of defect. Another example involves sewer line infiltration. A typical standard rehabilitation recommendation is to assign a full -section repair (manhole to manhole) if more than one-third of the pipe is cracked or broken. Al. though a partial replacement might have been assigned to repair the one. third currently suffering damage, the Ions -term view dictates that further deterioration will occur in the unre- paired portions, A further example of standard re- pair suggestions is manholes con. structed of block or brick. It has been our experience that I/I occurring in block or brick manhole cannot be ef- fectively eliminated by grouting. The large amount of seam space between blocks or bricks would permit I/I to migrate to non -grouted locations. A recommendation to grout the entire manhole would require at inordinate amount of material, potentially result- ing in a higher repair cost than re- placement. In this case, the combina- tion of more effective I/I control and lower repair cost makes manhole re- placement attractive. Step 2 - Engineering Design of Re- pair Recommendations.

Reprinted from PUBLIC WORKS MAGAZINE, May 1983 H61 REPAIRING a sewer system at restoring its capabilities to a sound level of performance requires a series of steps. Recently, a commu- nity experienced problems in system repairs and requested assistance from Donohue & Associates, Inc. Briefly, the community took our com. pleted Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSES) and its rehabilitation recommendations and attempted to make repairs on an item by item basis. In some cases, recommendations made in the SSES report did not match the community's ideas of the type of repair needed. This particular repair involved manholes. Specifical. ly, the report suggested complete re- placement but when community forces began repair efforts, they felt that exterior patching would suffice. This same problem occurred at sev- eral more manholes and the commu. nity began to question the credibility of the rehabilitation recom- mendations. We then mel with com- munity representatives to evaluate the overall repair recommendations. The community's problem was that it substituted SSES repair recom- mendations for engineering design data. Recommendations made in the SSES are just that, recom- mendations, and are not necessarily the only or most attractive repair methods. The solution was that the community would have to perform on -the -spot engineering design to de. i velop proper repair methods for the identified defects. Since the commu- nity is using force account construe. tion, quality control, and construction 1 inspection, repairs will most likely be t effective. r This situation has occurred and will s continue to occur elsewhere, parlicu. t larly in light of the increasing number 11 of communities performing rehabili- r talion work with their own forces.

Preparation of detailed drawings and specifications for system repairs ena- bles the community and contractors to know precisely what is expected in terms of materials, workmanship, and post-repnir sewer system per. Reprinted from PUBLIC WORKS MAGAZINE, May 1983 H61 formance. One factor which comp.. dates a repair project (as opposed to new construction) is that repairs need to be performed while wastewater flow is maintained. Although con- struction personnel are most affected by this requirement, design person- nel need to examine flow patterns and how sewage flows can be maintained, either by bypass pumping or within sewers under repair. Design documents also indicate the appropriate location of other utilities in areas of excavations. In addition, specifications spell out standards for replacement of pipe material, sewer and manhole grout material, air pres- sures for air testing sewer joints, and air test pass/fail requirements. When excavations are needed, plan and profile drawings are provided. Engineering design also examines the repair suggestions made in the SSES. In most cases, the recom- mendation is maintained and the re- pair designed accordingly. In some cases advice may be modified to re- flect changes in repair technology, or to take advantage of cost savings or repair efficiency realized through a different technique. An example is sewer replacement that is changed to sewer lining during the design proc- ess. The sewer's condition is not in question, infiltration is severe and en- ters through cracks and broken pieces which cannot be repaired by grouting. The recommendation to re- place the line made during the survey was based on I/I reduction and upon the soundness of the replacement. During design, however, the location of other utility lines near the excava- tion would require a great deal of hand work to avoid damage. Lining technology would avoid this problem and is substituted for replacement. The SSES does not have the respon- sibility to locate additional utility lines other than on a cursory basis. Since replacement was viewed as feasible (and would have been if not for unfor- seen utilities), this recommendation was made in the SSES. The design phase of the overall rehabilitation process, therefore, has the responsi- bility to investigate thoroughly the site conditions and to change a repair method to reflect the precise condi- tions. Step 3 - Construction Inspection. Following award of the construction contract, close inspection of repair work is necessary to ensure that the intent of the repairs is achieved. In addition to monitoring the progress and quality of repairs made, the feed. back from inspection personnel is useful in preparing file next round of repair designs. Construction inspection, particu- larly for sewer systems rehabilitation work, has proven successful in aiding the repair of system defects in an eG fective and efficient manner. Record keeping and inspection for sewer re- habilitation is more complicated than new construction since operations are performed over a wider area and generally involve many different types of work being performed simul- taneously. The use of inspection per- sonnel familiar with rehabilitation methods and techniques has proven valuable to our clients as both a time saving and quality assurance tool. One part of sewer rehabilitation which can benefit significantly from construction inspection is partial sewer replacement. For example, during SSES sewer televising, a sec- tion is deemed unrepairable by inter- nal methods and requires excavation and replacement. During system re- pair, the excavation is made, and it is now determined that additional portions of this sewer also require re- placement. Inspectors can now exam- ine the site and authorize the contrac- tor to continue the spot repair to a sound sewer section. In addition to authorizing die contractor to proceed, actual rehabilitation quantities, time, and materials can be correctly re- corded. Another excavation problem can occur at risers and/or service laterals. During the survey sewer televising, a leak or problem at a connection is noted. However, televising does not determine whether this problem is at the connection or within the lateral itself. During excavation and re- placement, inspection personnel can accurately determine where the prob- lem lies. Inspection personnel familiar with rehabilitation techniques and methods also assist in improving fu- ture repair designs. For example, our inspection experience has shown that the lop four or five feel of a precast manhole generally should not be grouted because dehydration of the grout during low groundwater periods often causes the grout to shrink and it will not rehydrale with the return of high groundwater. For this reason we have called for the upper five rector a precast manhole to be rebuilt to control infiltration while specifying grouting below that po- tion. This type of feedback is valuable in continually refining the overall re- habilitation strategies. Valuable Feedback Another example of the need for construction inspection by trained personnel is internal sewer grouting. Grouting operations depend on the pressure drop noted at ajoinl or other defect in a line, and a trained inspec- tor needs to he present in the grouting ..,n to ensure that all defects are lo- cated and properly sealed. Feedback from this operation proved valuable to future work. For example, we learned that packer machinery can- not be set up widnin two feel of a man- hole or any service lateral connection. Setting up within two feel does not allow the packer ends to inflate prop- erly and therefore grouting cannot be accomplished. Severe defects within two feet of these features which re- quire rehabilitation need to be exca- vated and repaired or lined to adequately handle die infiltration. The final reason for construction in- spection is perhaps the most drama- tic. A flow monitoring program con- ducted in a large community recently recorded a great deal of I/I occurring during rainfall and snowmelt events. Thorough analysis of the sewer sys- tem using conventional SSES tech- niques did not identify significant sources which would account for this - volume of flow. Through efforts of construction inspectors and SSES engineers, the area between the manhole frame and the top of the manhole masonry was identified as a major contributing factor to the inflow during wet weather events. Surface runoff to pavement joints or cracks traveled along the subbase of the roadway and entered directly into the manhole through the area between the frame and the cone. This hap. pened any time titere was water flow- ing over the street, which occurred many times each year during snow- men or moderate rainfall. Because of this discovery, a new industry has been generated to develop materials and products which can seal this frame/cone interface and yet allow frame movement with traffic and/or frost action. The input from SSES en- gineering, construction inspection, and design personnel has contributed to developing a useful, economical, and workable solution to a problem which, several years ago, was not even identified. Evaluation design, and construc- tion inspection benefit the community significantly by ensuring that those defects which are cost-effective to re- pair are done so in an economical and effective manner. It also ensures that quantities and schedules are properly recorded. It is our experience that this three. step process allows for cost-effective identification, design, and construc. tion of those repairs necessary to re- store the sewer system to its proper level of service. Circumvention of any of these steps can reduce the effec- tiveness of the entire rehabilitation program and could increase the cost to the community in the long run. coo 1(GI 17 ---------- Flood Control and Storm Water Management As our communities grow, ag- ricultural land and open space are replaced by roads and streets, parking lots and rooftops. Such construction alters the natural drainage pattern, and water problems often occur — too much water, water in the wrong place at the wrong time, or water of poor quality. At Donohue, we know the im- portance of flood control and storm water management. Ex- perienced engineers help our clients solve their water prob- lems and prevent future flood- ing, erosion, sedimentation, and related problems. Our approach is comprehensive. We provide technical exper- tise in hydrology, hydraulics, and water quality. And we supplement these areas by studying economic and en- vironmental factors, safety aspects, recreation pos- sibilities, aesthetic impact, and governmental regula- tions. We examine the feasi- bility of structural measures, such as detention ponds, and nonstructural measures, such as land zoning.

I j 'i M �'•'������ Knowing the system gets delayed�irojeet funded For Spring Valley, Minnesota, this success story has a S 1.865 million ending. It began in late August 1982, during a visit from Donohue marketer Mike Hoff. This small community, located about 20 miles south of Rochester, was concerned about progress on its wastewater treatment facility. "Although planning had begun in 1976 and' revisions were made in 1982 on the facilities plan submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (AIPCA), the city felt the project was at a standstill," Hoff said. "They _ were anxious to begin a vigorous effort to achieve funding." When Hoff presented Spring Valley's concerns to Donohue's staff, the consensus was, he reported, "yes, we could help. Even though Spring Valley would be a new client, we based the decision on our past record of providing assistance to other communities for government funding programs. _ We're knowledgeable about Region V of the U.S. Environmental Protec- tion Agency, the region that includes Spring Valley. We were confident of finding a way to work through the system' The team was formed; Don Roccker, governmental liaison manager, and AI Berg, engineer assigned to analyze innovative design techniques, both in Elie Sheboygan office; Gary Warren, client liaison in the \linncapolis office, and Dan Elwood, Spring Valley administrator, who would runding fm• The Spring Palley, dlimlesolrl, uvlsleuleller h'calntenl facility Elvis acbieaed lbrougb serve as the focal point for the city's efforts. "In meeting with the MPCA, 1 discovered Spring Valley had been placed 56 on the priority list," Roccker said. "In that position, funding might have been fire to seven }'cars down the road. So, in order to succeed, our efforts hall to introduce new considerations in the project. "Tinning becounc critical when we learned th:u the MPCA was to meet on September 28 to determine funding allocations for the 1982 cfjor'IS of el Douabrne/Spring lralley loam lbrrl Included Don Roecker (Icy)) and Al Bog. fiscal }'car," Roccker added. "That gave its one month and a lot of Possibilities to explore." Finding a viable design, that would meet IiPA criteria for innov:tiveness, was established as a primary goad. "An innoyatiVe design would mean more funding opportunities," he noted, "moving Spring Valley up on the priority list. That was AI Berg's assignment." In a cooperative effort between Donohue and EPA Region \', the goal was met with selection of an intrachannel clarifier, allowing (.1k( biological treatment to occur in a single basin instead of the conven- tional two -basin system. A clarifier located in the aeration basin elimi- nates much of the piping, pumps, tanks, and sludge collection mechanisms often needed in waste- water treatment plants, thus saving on construction costs. Once in operation, the intrachannel clarifier design requires less energy than other plants the same size. Several other approaches to gain additional points were explored, including regionalization and geological factors at the site. "Although these ideas did not prove fruitful, we wanted to be thorough in our efforts," Roecker explained. "in this program, the difference is small between winning a grant and not winning. The challenge is to find the approach that will make that difference." Incorporating an innovative design did make enough difference on Spring Valley's completely revised and resubmitted facilities plan so, at the September 28 MPCA meeting, it was placed fourth on the reserve list for communities outside the Minneapolis metropolitan area. "We were now moved up far enough that, if other communities failed to meet deadline or design requirements, Spring Valley would be fn line for funding," Roecker said. "This was a better position than we'd had, but we needed to continue our work to assure funding." Following that meeting, however, Minnesota began considering a total revision of its funding program. Roecker commented, "Usually such changes take a year or more to complete and that would have meant Spring Valley, :long with about 300 other Minnesota commu- nities, would have been back to point zero. Our team, with Gary Warren coordinating efforts between the clients and the Sheboygan office. planned our response to this problem. "First, city administrator [hut Elwood began working with other communities already on that reserve list. Through his efforts, Minnesota state legislators and MPCA members were urged to maintain the priority system as it stood, for another year — this would most likely mean funding for the reserve list. Second," Roecker said, "through my monitoring of EPA's Region V. 1 learned that, unlike fiscal 1982, federal funds would be coming through on time for fiscal 1983. As a result, Minnesota would not have time to revise its program, unless it held up the funds — a situation no one favored:' On December 14, 1982, the ilIPCA approved funding for fiscal 1983 — including Spring Valley. Following several months of followup facilities planning by Donohue and several more months for MPCA approvals, the design and construction grant notification arrived on August 28 — just one year after Donohue and Spring Valley teamed up. The federal grant will total about 90 percent of construction costs. The plant is effort to achieve our common goal: Roecker added, "Our philosophy is to learn governmental funding programs and to work with them, rather than against them. These grants were designed to help communities and their people, and that's what we're working for, too. "And, of course, this successful ending is really, in many ways, just the beginning — the beginning of cleaner water for the citizens of Spring Valley."

JOURNAL WATEII POLLUTION CONTROL FRDERATION. Washington, D. C. 291137 Pn'mW in U. S; A. Composite correction program to improve plant performance Gregory H. Cobourn, Ted Popowchak As poor performance of publicly -owned wastewater treatment plants continues to receive attention, efforts to correct performance -limiting problems intensify. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has in- dicated that a broad range of factors limits performance at most existing treatment facilities.'"1 One EPA study describes the "unified concept" for achieving optimum plant performance.' This concept describes the inter- relationships among factors limiting performance, and correction programs to address these factors. Two pro- grams in particular are discussed: individual correction programs (ICP), and composite correction programs (CCP). An ICP is implemented to eliminate an individ- ual performance -limiting factor at more than one facil- ity. By contrast, a CCP addresses all factors limiting plant performance at just one facility. The EPA study concludes that ICPs are too limited and recommends CCPs because unique combinations of performance lim- iting factors at individual facilities can be addressed to best achieve optimum plant performance under these programs. The factors identified in CCPs are grouped into four general categories: operation, maintenance, design, and administration. The heart of the CCP approach is addressing y several combinations of possible performance - limiting factors. In a program sponsored by the EPA through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the CCP concept was tested in Missouri by two private con- sultants to determine if improved plant performance could be achieved without major capital expenditures through optimizing operation and maintenance (0&M) procedures. This paper discusses the CCP conducted in eastern Missouri by one private consultant and presents con- clusions drawn from the program. Three publicly -owned wastewater treatment plants with performance problems were selected by the Missouri DNR for evaluation by the consultant to identify factors limiting performance, to develop possible solutions, and to determine costs of implementing the recommendations. Based on these July 1983 evaluations, the Missouri DNR selected one of the three plants for on-site technical assistance and training to implement its recommendations. DESCRIPTION OF THE CCP The purpose of the CCP is to identify all performance - limiting factors at a plant and eliminate them through corrective actions. The CCP conducted in eastern Mis- souri involved preparing comprehensive evaluation re- ports for three facilities, but selecting only one in which to implement the corrective actions. The objectives of the project were: • To determine the problems in the facilities studied; • To assist in correcting the problems and to deter- mine the costs associated with the corrections; • To determine if the treatment facility owners and operators would benefit from on-site operational assis- tance; and • To determine if private consultants have the tech- nical capabilities to provide technical assistance. These objectives were accomplished in three phases, as described below. Phase I -Evaluation. Phase I involved evaluating three facilities through on-site visits, interviews with officials and plant personnel, and review of operating practices. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the plant's strengths and weaknesses, to make recommen- dations for improvements, and to present cost estimates of implementation. The evaluations were performed using techniques similar to those outlined in various EPA publications regarding the CCP.'"' Phase I in- cluded: • Four days of on-site reviewing of O &',M proce- dures, discussing past and present operating problems with city officials and plant personnel, assessing the qual- ity and quantity of personnel operating the facility, and obtaining O & M records, permits, and budgets; • Reviewing technical publications used at the plant, such as the O & M manual; and • Weighing and ranking, in order of severity of im- pact, the factors that limit plant performance. All factors identified as limiting plant performance 929 Cobourn & Popowchak uen .. m..A. L uwen ea.n. Figure 1—Plant A: flow diagram. were categorized according to their relationship with operation, maintenance, design, and administration. Phase II -Technical Assistance. Phase II of.the CCP involved a 6 -month period of technical assistance to im- plement the recommendations generated in Phase I at one of the three plants evaluated in Phase 1. . After initial on-site assistance and instruction were completed, continued assistance was provided during the 6 -month period through periodic on-site visits to answer questions and continue instruction and through frequent telephone conversations; 1. Phase 111 -Reevaluation: After completion of Phase 11, the facility was reevaluated to measure the improve- ments in plant performance. FACILITIES DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION The three facilities evaluated during Phase 1 of the CCP *project were selected by the DNR because they were not meeting discharge permits limits and could benefit from technical assistance. Plant visits for all Phase I evaluations were conducted during July and August 1980. Two days were spent at each plant to gather infor- mation. Where appropriate, recommendations to cor- rect obvious O & M deficiencies were made. Following the site visits, the information gathered was compiled and analyzed, and a comprehensive evaluation report was prepared for each facility. Descriptions and evalu- ations of each facility are presented below. Plant A. Plant A is a two-stage, aeration activated sludge plant followed by a polishing lagoon with aerobic digestion and sludge lagoons, as shown in Figure I: The design flow is 3 785 in 3/d (I mgd). The actual flow was 2 941 mild (0.777 mild). Table I summarizes Plant A's evaluation and iden- tifies and ranks, in order of severity of impact, factors limiting plant performance. The biggest problem found was operator application of concepts and testing to pro- cess control. The operators had some knowledge of pro- cess control testing and procedures, but did not always apply them correctly, or at all. It was also found that the people in charge of the facility were aware of the 930 r-, problems and concerned about their correction, but did not have sufficient time, and had not been employed long enough, to receive the training necessary to operate the facility properly. At the conclusion of the site visit, the following rec- ommendations were made to begin corrective actions in obvious problem areas: . a Wasting sludge from the aeration basin (via the re- turn sludge line) to the digester was suggested to reduce mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) levels, a Aeration in the aeration basins was increased to reduce odors and to raise the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, and a Finding the source of the suspected toxic or septic tank sludge dumps was suggested. Although the above recommendations were made to correct the obvious problems, it was also noted that per- sonnel problems needed to be addressed before any long- term solutions for improving plant performance could be developed.

Figure 2. The design flow is 3028 m3/d (0.8 mgd). The actual flow was 1 136 m3/d (0.3 mgd). Two metal plating plants discharge wastewater contain- ing heavy metals to the city plant. Table 2 summarizes Plant B's evaluation. Operator application of concepts and testing to process control, and the solids management program, were major factors found to be limiting performance. Therefore, operator training appeared to be the best way to help the plant meet effluent biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) limitations more consis- tently, even during high-flow periods. Also, improved solids control within the system would make the plant more stable. Completion of ongoing industrial pretreat- ment activities would help correct the effluent metals violations. Recommendations to begin corrective ac- tions in obvious problem areas were outlined and dem- onstrated on-site. These recommendations included the following: a A solids wasting program to reduce MOSS concen- tration was discussed, • Instructions on proper operation of the aerobic di- gest•er were presented, The importance of intermittent rather than contin- uous scum discharging to the digester was stressed, • A testing. schedule to monitor plant performance and for process control was outlined, • Purchase of a portable DO meter to monitor DO levels in the activated sludge system was suggested, and • Operating one centrifugal blower out of the surge region, rather than two, in the surge region, was rec- ommended. Plant C. Plant C is a single -stage, plastic media (26 ft deep) trickling filler plant, including primary clarifi- cation and aerobic sludge digestion, as shown in Figure 3. The design flow is 3 406 m3/d (0.9 mgd). The actual flow was about 1 514 m3/d (0.4 mgd). Various industries also discharge wastewater to Plant C, the major con- tributor being a cheese factory. The recorded BOD load- ings from the industries contribute only 7% of the total plant BOD loading. Table 3 presents the plant evaluation summary.

Some could be outlined so the operator could take action without the need for extended guidance. Corrective ac- tions recommended at the conclusion of the visit in- cluded: • Recycling trickling filter effluent to the trickling fil- ter to maintain a minimum hydraulic welting rate, • Minimizing sludge pumping, • Transferring secondary clarifier operation to the second unused primary clarifier (as provided for in the design), which used scraper -type sludge collectors, until problems with the suction tube sludge collectors in the secondary clarifier could be resolved, • Outlining a preliminary testing schedule to allow the operators to monitor plant performance and control the process, and • Stressing the need for proper aeration, decanting, and sludge hauling for aerobic digester operations.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE Based on the results from the evaluations of all three plants, Plant C was selected by DNR for Phase 11 and Ill. It was felt that because of the nature of the problems identified, mostly operational, Plant C would benefit the most from technical assistance. Phase 11 activities started in December 1980. Corrective actions. Corrective actions centered on operator training and process control modifications. One-on-one operator training was provided so operators could understand process concepts and apply them to problem solving; troubleshoot problem areas and begin corrective actions; collect sufficient data to make process control decisions; and take actions to overcome equip- ment -related limitations, Process control modifications implemented included: recycling trickling filler effluent back to the filler to meet design minimum wetting rates, reducing sludge wasting, properly operating the aerobic digester, and testing different clarifier flow schemes to improve secondary clarification. New equipment problems. In the course of operator training and further evaluation of unit processes, other factors limiting plant performance were identified. These new factors were not apparent until some of the oper- ations -related factors were corrected and the plant's flex- 932 ibility and limitations were known. The trickling filter pumping system and the clarifier sludge removal system were found to be deficient. The problems with the trickling filter pumps caused failure of mechanical seals. Each pump was rated at 0.067 m3/s (1 067 gpm), and the suction pipe diameter was only 10.166 m (4 in.). Problems with the pumps before the CCP were not significant because average daily flows were lower than design and no recycle of the trickling filter effluent was practiced. However, after fil- ter effluent recycle was initiated, the pump approached the rated flow rate and the water velocity through the suction line exceeded 4.57 m/s (15 ft/sec). Design nor- mally does not recommend velocities to exceed, 3.05 m/ s (10 ft/sec). The high flow velocity caused a net positive suction head less than the pump minimum, thus con- tributing to the failure of the mechanical seals and loss of pumping capacity. Sludge pumping problems were experienced with the two primary clarifiers when operated in parallel with one receiving raw wastewater flow and the second re- ceiving secondary flow. This flow scheme was used be- cause the original secondary clarifier experienced prob- lems in effective sludge removal. The design provided this flexibility in operation, but the sludge had to be pumped from both primary clarifiers simultaneously using one timer -controlled air lift pump. However, since the sludge in each clarifier differed in composition and quality, the secondary (thinner and lighter) sludge was the only material actually being removed. Consequently,' essentially no primary sludge was removed to the di- gester. As a result of this work, the operators have adopted a schedule whereby the sludge is pumped 4 min/hr every other day, under timer control, from each clarifier. A manual override also has been installed to allow the operator on duty to pump extra sludge as needed. A sludge blanket finder device was constructed to assist the operators in.monitoring the sludge blankets. With these revised procedures, the pumped sludge quan- tities are revised in response to sludge blanket measure- ments and both primary and secondary sludge is re- moved consistently. Results. Table 4 presents the factors identified as lim- iting plant performance after Phase 11 activities. Table 5 presents plant performance data from December 1979 to May 1980 (before the CCP) and December 1980 to May 1981 (after Phase II technical assistance). Much of the data collected prior to the CCP represent only one value for each parameter in each month. The accuracy of the DOD data was suspect because of questionable laboratory techniques. BOD data collected during the technical assistance period are believed to be too high because of poor laboratory grade distilled water used in the BOD test, even though analytical techniques were improved. The performance data indicate that total plant performance improved during the technical assis- tance period, even though plant loadings increased. Journal WPCF; Volume 55, Number 7 It At the conclusion of Phase 11, operation problems had been corrected and only equipment -related problems remained, some of which could not have been properly evaluated without attaining optimum plant perfor- mance. Correction of the operational factors limiting plant performance resulted in more consistent and ef- ficient operations. Operator training has been effective in improving process control procedures and correcting many of the factors limiting performance. Beneficial changes realized at the plant because of operator training are listed below: • Trickling filter recycle is now used to provide better treatment; but only within equipment limitations, • Sludge pumping has been reduced from over 378.5 m3/d (100 000 gpd) to less than 75.7 m3/d (20 000 gpd), • The aerobic digester is now efficiently operated. Aerobic conditions are maintained; supernatant sepa- ration is achieved; and septic solids are no longer re- cycled, • Effluent BOD has been reduced, • Offensive plant odors have been reduced, • Analytical techniques have improved and plant op- erating records are being kept in a useful fashion, and • Three operators have improved or obtained certi- fication. At the end of Phase 11 activities, it was felt that the plant operators were much more capable of obtaining the best possible results from their facility. There were two major reasons for this. First, the operators were ex- tremely receptive to this work. They did not feel that the CCP consultant was trying to highlight any wrong- doing or inadequacy, but rather was attempting to work with them in a cooperative effort. Secondly, the ability for the consultant to work with only one to three people at a time allowed for more effective training. This type Tattle 4—Plant C evaluation summary: phase II.

The major problem remaining is that effluent TSS and BOD are still too high (Figure 4), primarily because the trickling filter pumps and secondary clarification are controlling factors limiting performance. Mechanical Problems experienced with the trickling filter pumps Prevented continuous recirculation. Several alternatives to secondary clarifier operation were tested, but none was able to obtain the results needed to meet permit limitations.' One clarifier had sludge removal problems in that the head differential between the liquid surface in the sludge well and clarifier surface was not great enough to remove thick sludge through the suction tube sludge collectors. The other clarifier could not remove secondary solids effectively because of inconsistent weir elevations and a shallow side water depth (about 2.4 m). Currently, two second- ary clarifiers (one of the unused primaries and the orig- inal secondary) are receiving secondary Sow, as illus- trated in Figure 5. Little improvement has been seen in effluent TSS using the Sow scheme. Because of the na- ture of the trickling filter solids in combination with the lack of solids contact, the solids will not settle effectively, despite detention times greater than design. Therefore, it was concluded that the effient quality would not im- prove until, at a minimum, modifications to the plant's secondary clarification system and trickling filter pumps are implemented, RESULTS OF, THE CCP Phase 111. Reevaluation of the CCP included a site visit by the consultant and representatives from the city, 933 1W I Cobourn & Popowchak Figure 4—Plant C. BOD and TSS removals. the EPA, and the DNR to measure the improvements in plant performance in June 1981. The major finding from the reevaluation was that improvement in plant operation and performance was apparent, even though effluent permit limitations were still not being met. The facility owners and operators benefited from the services received under the CCP. Apparently,'providing contin- uous on-site technical assistance was not necessary to improve plant performance. Periodic on-site visiting to make process control modifications and provide oper- ator training was found to be the best schedule to min. imize man-hour and travel costs and achieve optimum plant performance. The time between site visits allowed the treatment process to respond to any process adjust- ments. Also, it gave operators time to absorb instructions and learn by doing their tasks. The costs for this CCP project are presented in Table 6. The city officials commented that the CCP appears to have been effective in solving operations -related prob- lems and identifying design deficiencies, but the asso- ciated costs for engineering services provided by private . consulting firms may be too high for small communities, unless financial assistance by the state or other sources is provided. While financing methods should not have a bearing on assessing the technical merit of the CCP Figure 5—Plant C. layout and present Bow scheme. 934 Table 6—CCP cost summary.

SUMMARY The CCP for this project was successful in improving plant performance without major capital expenditures. . After correction of operational problems at Plant C, it was found that two major equipment problems were still limiting plant performance. The common major factor found io limit plant performance at the other two plants evaluated was application of concepts and testing to process control. If technical assistance could be provided in the form of it CCP, plant performance should improve in many locations. The CCP approach has an advantage over methods in that it attempts to identify problems in mul- tiple areas, rather than attacking individual problems that may or may not be factors limiting plant perfor- mance.

Now they are viable opportunities for a private public partnership solution to the clean water funding and treatment problem. CEPEK, through the privatization concept, will take full responsibility for treating your municipal wastewater. Furthermore, CEPEK assumes responsibility for financing, legalities, design, con. struction, ownership, operation and environmental agency liaison. We do this by blending YOUR key employees and professional advisors with CEPEK's professional capabilities. What is Privatization? Privatization is a partnership between the public and private sectors to solve the clean water funding problem. It is based on the ability of the business sector to take advantage of investment tax credits, depreciation, other tax benefits, construction efficiencies and time savings realized when it builds and operates treatment facilities. Sharing these advantages with the public sector could provide savings in user fees over the conventional system of pro - 1 I viding wastewater treatment. With CEPEK, privatization could pro- vide up to 50% savings. Privatization through CEPEK could provide local governments with the ability to meet clean water legal requirements on time,ii without tying up local debt capacity that may be needed for other essential purposes. Putting these and other factors together, priva- tization through CEPEK compares favorably to grant funded approaches and should be considered by innovative local leaders. What Can Privatization Through CEPEK Do For A Municipality? • Save up to perhaps 50% in user fee savings over conventional methods. • Help keep existing industry and attract new industry. • Avoid cost overruns. • Avoid the hassle of operating and maintaining a treatment plant. • Preserve local debt capacity for other essential purposes. • Help clean your rivers and lakes, now. • CEPEK pays property taxes on the treatment plant. • Help plan your budget because your municipality has only one bill to pay each period. • CEPEK will work with local businesses and investors when pos- sible. We recommend that you retain an independent consultant to advise you. P I Construction And Operation all And Medium -Sized Communities. What Are CEPEK's Qualifications? CEPEK has constructed over 50 sewage treatment plants for small to medium-sized communities. We are well experienced with trained professional engineers and project managers. Our carpen- ters, ironworkers, cement finishers, pipelayers, foremen and super- intendents will do the job efficiently and professionally. And, our professional support team of financial, design and real estate con- sultants will work with you to provide a cost effective solution to your specific needs. CEPEK is privileged to have won the Wisconsin Chapter of the American Public Works Association "1980 Contractor of the Year" award. j'. What Guarantees Does CEPEK Offer? ,_j • Your treatment costs (as measured per gallon of sewage treated) will be GUARANTEED for the life of the contract. Only energy and chemical costs will be escalated according to a fair formula. • At the end of the contract period, you may buy the facility for a predetermined amount or renegotiate a new contract with CEPEK at a reduced fee. What Will Happen to Your Operators and Consultants? • When possible, CEPEK will team with your financial and engi- neering consultants. • CEPEK will strive to retain your plant operators. What Quality and Cost Control are Provided? CEPEK uses the latest technology in treatment plant design, equipment, and building construction to obtain the least cost alter- native over the life of the project. We emphasize energy efficiency, low operation and maintenance costs, and durability of facilities and equipment. CEPEK uses standardized details and modular components. We use models to aid pipe design and construction. We have an innovative treatment concept which has a clarifier with no moving parts. CEPEK believes in providing the owner the most for his money with strong emphasis on quality. The key to CEPEK's successful publiciprivate projects is understanding, analysis, and cooperation.

SCOTT AND GARY BRAYTON Local officials need to peep on top of the costs of planning, building, and operating resource recovery facilities as the projects develop. Continual reassessment of the financial picture Is necessary, as is care in choosing the original financing method. �he key to the financing of any project is economic feasibillry. In the Case of a resource to- Covery Pr0*t. wham main pur- pose Is waste disposal. economic feasibility must flow from future avoided cost versus alternative du - poral methods. As a result, the too. nomic analysis of resource recovery projects relies on the forecasting of future costs. a process often de. scribed as "predicting the future with a rear view mirror." Further- more, numerous methods of fhlanc. ing resource recovery facilities are available and the method selected can greatly affect the economic tea. sibibry of a project In mid -1982. the California Poliu. tion Control financing Authority and the California Waste Manage. m int Board contracted with Touche Ross and Co. to write a handbook TABLE I SUMMARY COMPARISON OF ALTERNATE FINANCING METHODS (construction Dost . $46 billion) Financial Aequirass nts (Input) • band Interest Rate to • Debt 64mice Coverage Factor • Dabs gamic@ Reserve Fund? • rqulty (SODO's) Results (Output) • Total Debt Required (SODS) • First Year Tip Fee IS/Ton) • Not Present Value ($000) Other Factors • Risk revel to the 01mun1ty • Complexity or Obtaining rinanting prVAding k1CW pubic officials vh& An overview of the process of R. nancing resource recovery project.

The backbone of this process is one of continuing eco- rIon is analysis which is referred to as the "concept of creeping fuan- dal commitment" This Concept guides the decision -maker in the spending of additional development funds. To assist with this proem, a com- puter financial evaluation program, RRAM (Resource Recovery Analysis Model), was developed for micro. computer application.

Sorett* 1984 Manager, Touche Ross 6 Co. This paper will appear in the March 1984 edition of the Federal Bar Journal, published by the Federal Bar Association. The Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will Probably make several critical decisions in the next year which will reveal whether the July 1, 1988, deadlines for municipal compliance with the Clean Water Act's (CWA) National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements will be taken seriously. With the need for construction to satisfy the NPDES permit requirements for publicly owned treatment works (POTW) estimated to be almost $120 billion, the Congress just voted at the end of 1981 to curtail funding for construction of POTWs under Title II of the Clean Water Act. In so doing, the Congress made it plain that the federal government considered compliance with the enforceable provisions of the CWA to be an important but primarily local responsibility. This, naturally, has placed the economic burden for meeting the NPDES permit requirements squarely on the shoulders of municipalities which are either unwilling or unable to shoulder the fiscal responsibility through traditional means. The NPDES permit program is in serious trouble. The General Accounting Office (GAO) matter of factly explains the problem: "The NPDES permit program has been in existence for more than 10 years but is still experiencing problems that reduce its overall effectiveness in controlling water pollution from municipal and industrial point sources. As a result, the intended uses of some waterways for economic and recreational activities may be compromised. "Enforcement of NPDES permit limits also poses problems. While the ultimate goal of the enforcement program is to ensure compliance with permit limits, current enforcement practices in many cases allow permit noncompliance to go on unabated for extended periods of time -- in some cases, years. Noncompliance by municipalities poses special problems due to their reliance on federal funds to upgrade their treatment facilities. EPA does not have the authority to fine noncompliers directly without referring the matter to the Department of Justice for litigation. In addition, resource shortages at 1W r both the federal and state levels have translated into an overall reduction of enforcement efforts."1/ Since 1972, EPA has obligated over $45 billion for construction of POTWs; yet, the EPA Needs Survey for 1982 reveals that $118.4 billion is needed for the construction and repair of municipal wastewater treatment facilities and sewers between the years 1980 r-, and 2000. Further, by 1982, only 2,000 of 18,000 POTWs planned had been completed.2/ In addition, many of the plants that were built under the construction grants program continuously fail to meet their NPDES permit requirements.37 i In late 1981, the Congress approved reduced funding of the constrgction grants program to $2.4 billion annually until f; 1985.4/ There is signMant uncertainty about future funding of "t the program beyond 1985.A/ Clearly, the federal role in POTW construction and repair cannot come close to meeting the needs by the current 1988 deadline. There is a possibility that the Congress may extend the 1988 deadline or increase federal funding in the process of re -authorizing the Clean Water Act,6/ but this is unlikely given the very recent changes to both these matters in 1981. There is also the possibility that the Congress or EPA will relax the NPDES permit standards, but this would be politically unpractical and not desirable from an environmental protection perspective. The shortfall in funding leaves municipalities in a bind. They are under mandate to provide secondary treatment?/ by July 1988, but many communities cannot rely on EPA funding to pay for some or any of the costs of construction of POTWs. For those communities fortunate enough to receive EPA funding after September 30, 1984, they can only expect 558 federal funding instead of 758 -i funding.8/ These communities will also find that the Congress limited the number of eligible categories for funding. In addition, many communities are facing financial difficulties without regard to the Clean Water Act's obligations. While in the past these communities could raise capital through the issuance of long-term municipal bonds, restraints on the amount of capital debt permitted by municipalities coupled with the desire to avoid presenting a bond referendum to the voters have caused municipalities to look for alternative means of financing wastewater treatment construction and replacement. So, what is to be done? One idea which has attracted a lot of recent attention and deserves serious consideration is to create statewide infrastructure banks. The State of New Jersey is considering legislation which establishes such a bank to operate a revolving loan fund to be used for any number of environmental and r. transportation needs. The bank would issue zero or low interest loans to municipalities for a fixed portion of project costs. As repayments are made, new loans can be made. To capitalize the bank initially, there is interest in amending the CWA to provide for seed funding. Funding would also come from state federal obligation bonds and from specific -state appropriations. This will not be an easy task to accomplish at the - federal level. At the state level, New Jersey has been considering a state infrastructure bank bill designed to fund a variety of public works type projects. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is a major supporter of the legislation given the redirections in federal assistance. NJDEP officials estimate that it needs an additional $214 billion for wastewater treatment construction in order to satisfy Clean Water Act requirements. Yet, current funding levels only allow for construction of 24 out of the state's 237 needed POTWs. With enactment of the infrastructure bank, it is believed that (a construction on all 237 projects can begin within the next IY decade.!/ Despite the'promise for relief offered by the infrastructure i`1 bank, the New Jersey Legislature has expressed misgivings about J drawing funds away from projects which were destined to receive federal construction grant funds and seeing them converted into 4 loans. For these and other reasons related to the mechanics and limitations of authority of the bank, the New Jersey bill was sent back to committee last term. j Still, the infrastructure bank idea is receiving considerable favorable attention in Washington, D.C. Passage of federal legislation to establish or fund such an institution is possible during the next session, but more realistically the bank will not be at the top of the environmental issues list. As Congress sorts out the problems of whether to enforce NPDES permit requirements and how much more grant funding is or should be made available, there will come a time that the subject of the infrastructure bank will be an important topic. The New York State Governor's Office has introduced legislation - to create a State Water Finance Authority (Authority) which would be iempowered to issue up to $4 billion in debt to help communities finance the construction and rehabilitation of water and sewer _ systems. Creation of the Authority would provide a vehicle to circumvent the New York State constitutional prohibition of the sale of revenue bonds by local governments in New York. Local communities could issue bonds through the Authority which are backed by water and sewer charges. Because of this backing, investors would tend to find this form of revenue bond more attractive than general obligation bonds. The New York legislation would have three alternate financing mechanisms. First, the Authority would function as a bond bank to provide loans to municipalities for particular water and sewer projects. The Authority would also require the community to agree to levy sufficient water and sewer charges to cover operation and maintenance costs, debt service, and replacement costs. Second, the - 3 - (10 municipality could lease its water and sewer systems to the Authority in return for the Authority's agreement to finance water and sewer improvements. The lease would contain provisions comparable to the above described financial commitments between the Authority and the community. The third approach contemplates municipalities creating independent local water and sewer boards which would be responsible for levying and collecting water and sewer fees. The Authority would issue revenue bonds to finance local needs and, concurrently, enter into agreements with the community and boards to ensure that operation and maintenance, debt service, and replacement costs will be covered. This legislative proposal was introduced in 1981 but failed to receive full consideration. It was re -introduced in 1982 but was not passed, primarily because it raised concern among fiscal conservatives that the Authority could interfere with local perogatives and create debts sufficient to jeopardize credit ratings for the state and local governments concerned. The proposal still has strong supporters, hoyever, and is likely to be on the legislative agenda again.—/ A third idea which is attracting considerable attention is J privatization. The concept was recently adeptly described by the Executive Director of the Camden County Municipal Utilities r Authority, a POTW owner which recently attempted to construct a POTW using this technique: "'Privatization' is a financial concept whereby private industry, either through a single firm or a II11 joint venture of several firms, would design -finance -construct -own and operate, on a long term basis, facilities for public use like the treatment plants proposed by our Authority. The titi concept is based on the premise that, where a public agency loses substantial public grant funding, it is then faced with 1008 public funding `J of a project on its own. In that situation, the private sector may be in a position to design the facility at a lesser cost, construct it in a more timely and cost effective manner, operate it more efficiently at a lesser cost, and above all, i provide the capital funding at a user cost to the consumer lower than the public agency can provide using thel�grmal route of 1008 public bond revenue. _ Privatization is not a new concept. For decades, hundreds of communities have obtained their drinking water and other essential governmental services from private sector owned and operated sources. More recently, a number of resource recovery plants have been built and operated on a "turnkey" basis by -the private sector to recover energy and recyclable materials from municipal solid y waste. There has been privatization of hospital construction and R - 4 - 110 : i i operation, and more recently there has been interest in use of this alternate financing approach for constructing and operating prisons. In the last few years, however, several events occurred which have stimulated both public sector and private sector interest in the topic. First, there has been an historic rise in tax-exempt ^+ municipal bond interest rates. In January 1982, the rates reached 12.84 percent. Since then, interest rates in general declined but those for municipal bonds remain high. This will undoubtedly cause financial hardships for communities desiring to use the municipal bond market as -their predominate source of finance for infrastructure projects. In 1970,21percent �t service was dedicated to interest repaymentwhereas lbyu1981pthis al ebt t figure reached 33 percent. As a result, there will be delays in construction of these projects. The GAO performed a review of the situation for the House Subcommittee on Economic Stabilization, Committee on Banking, Finance Urban a surge in demand for dloanable ffunds and aodecrease inund that ethe re hsupply as nof loanable I� funds. In the past four years, the annual volume of long-term municipal bonds has risen from $43.3 billion in 1979 to $77.3 billion in 1982. GAO reports that the most important factor J; contributing to this increase has been the rapid growth in the use of tax-exempt bonds for non-traditional purposes: "In 1970, over 95 percent of the $18.1 billion in municipal bond issues was used to finance traditional public infrastructure. [Traditional infrastructure on this context refers to structures J and equipment owned by states and localities and includes highways, bridges, buildings, mass transit systems, and public utilities such as water, sewer, or power systems.] By 1982, such use dropped to only 48 percent of new issues. In the past decade, the tax-exempt market was increasingly used to finance non-traditional endeavors, such as multiple and single-family housing, industrial development, private hospitals, acquisition of pollution control equipment by private industry, and student loans. In 1982, an estimated $43.4 billion in nw bonds were sold to finance these activities." / Another important chooge occurred with enactment of the Economic — Recovery Tax Act of 1981— which, among other things, liberalized the investment tax credit and accelerated depreciation schedules. Privatization holds many attractions for the private and public i sectors alike. There are substantial cost savings and programmatic efficiencies which can be realized if the proper financing methods and overall transactional structure are employed. However, privatization is by its very nature complex involving numerous parties and unique relationships. It is expensive and time - 5 - ho consuming for all parties concerned to participate in the conception or execution of a privatization project. Typically, the parties to a privatization project include the owner or owners who will take either a passive or active equity Position in the matter, the operator of the facility, the engineer who plans and designs the facility, the builder who constructs the facility, the municipality which can lease the site to the owner and receives the services derived from the facility, an issuer of any _ tax-exempt debt, and'an investment banker which raises the equity and underwrites the debt. Many of these -. parties l tax, and financial forecasting services. Finally,there eareegal, insurance, public utility commission, and environmental considerations. One of the drawing forces that attracts private sector interest in privatization is tax savings. By cooperating with each other, both the public sector and private sector can benefit through use of industrial development bonds, accelerated depreciation, and the _ investment tax credit. Industrial development bonds are typically issued through a special purpose state or local agency to encourage private capital development. The debt is retired through lease or mortgage proceeds paid by the private developers. Because the bonds are tax-exempt, the interest rates are lower than conventional instruments which translates to lower mortgages for the private sector. The public sector benefits from the construction of the project with its public works type purpose, increased economic activity, and a broadened tax base. Industrial development bonds are commonly used to finance wastewater or water treatment plants, and solid waste facilities. The tax code now permits accelerated depreciation of a facility over a 15 year period and for qualified equipment over a period of either 3 or 5 years. Moreover, an investment tax credit of 108 of an item's cost is available for replacement or expansion of equipment owned and used by the private sector. The tax credits are applied directly to corporate taxes due, thus reducing dollar for dollar the taxes that would otherwise be owed. Under sections 46 and 48 of the Internal Revenue Code, taxpayers can claim the regular investment tax credits for qualified investments in recovery property and other kinds of depreciable property defined in section 38 of the Code. The amount of the credit varies according to the nature of the property. It is 10 percent for 5, 10, and 15 year property which includes most equipment and the building of a wastewater treatment works. The maximum amount of the credit is limited to $25,000 of the taxpayer's tax liability plus 85 percent of the tax liability in excess of $25,000. If the taxpayer cannot use the credit because of tax liability limits, then the tax credit may be carrid / back to the preceding years or carried forward for up to 15 years.gd U Not every privatization transaction can be structured to capture - 6 - 110 the benefits of all three of these mechanisms. Some of the possible transactions are: i 1) A "sale/leaseback in which the municipality itself ,-'I or by contract designs and constructs the facililty in question. The municipality then sells the facility to a private sector concern which leases its use back to the municipality. The !� private owner or owners are able to receive the r benefits of accelerated depreciation. The public sector operates the facility. No investment credit is'available in the LI transaction because the property is not section 38 property. 4) Split ownership where all facility construction is funded at once under a public offering. The municipality then loans a portion of the proceeds to the private sector. The 'publicly owned facilities can later be sold or leased. Under this transaction, the municipality may retain ownership over certain portions of the facilities which are considered vital to its interests while providing private sector opportunities for other less sensitive portions. 5) Tax -Exempt -Lease -Purchase Agreements where the municipality through a non profit authority issues bonds to construct and own a treatment works and sell it to the municipality under an installment contract (lease -purchase) agreement. The municipality does not incur debt under this transaction but makes payments to the non profit - 7 - 01 2) A sale of a facility constructed under public L auspices with an ensuing service contract under which the private owners also operate the (� facility. This not only entitles the private sector to accelerated depreciation but also the investment tax credit. 3) A "turnkey" operation in which any combination of private sector parties design, finance, construct, ^ operate and maintain the facility. The public sector may enter into a long-term lease for the JI site and build in other protections. The private sector obtains the benefits of accelerated J depreciation and the investment tax credit by using a service contract similar to the one described in number 2 above. Under this arrangement, the owners - can be either passive or active. For example, the owners could contract with a third party to operate -' the facility. 4) Split ownership where all facility construction is funded at once under a public offering. The municipality then loans a portion of the proceeds to the private sector. The 'publicly owned facilities can later be sold or leased. Under this transaction, the municipality may retain ownership over certain portions of the facilities which are considered vital to its interests while providing private sector opportunities for other less sensitive portions. 5) Tax -Exempt -Lease -Purchase Agreements where the municipality through a non profit authority issues bonds to construct and own a treatment works and sell it to the municipality under an installment contract (lease -purchase) agreement. The municipality does not incur debt under this transaction but makes payments to the non profit - 7 - 01 r F_ authority which, in turn, makes bond payments. The municipality has operation responsibility for the facility and obtains title to the facility by the end of the term of the installment contract. The bondholders receive tax free revenue for payments in excess of their investment. While there is no investment credit or accelerated depreciation available, municipalities which possess facilities that have been constructed using federal grant funds may find this transaction particularly attractive. 6) Tax -Exempt Leverage Leasing with a private third party lessor which builds and owns the facility. This third party lessor leases the facility to an operator lessee which, in turn, has a service contract with the municipality for cleaning the wastewater. The payments to the operator include cost for operation, maintenance, replacement, taxes, and profit. This transaction differs from transaction number 3 only in that the municipality looks to the lessee, rather than the owner, for services. Some of the above described transactions may be affected by proposed federal legislation which will adversely amend the manner in which depreciation deductions are taken for property leased to governmental entities. Typically, the lessor in transaction number 6 as owner will provide at least 20 percent equity and, in accordance with Section 46(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, will most likely be a corporation. It receives investment tax credits on the full purchase price of qualified equipment and accelerated depreciation on the qualified equipment and facilities even though amounts above its equity investment come from the sale of tax-exempt bonds issued by an industrial development authority. The authority sells bonds and enters into a loan agreement with the lessor which is given all operating rights and tax benefits... In structuring any transaction, care must be taken to remain within various tax limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. For instance, in order to ensure that the private owner can obtain the benefits of the investment tax credit, the municipality must be the one to assess rates and collect the user charges or taxes for the facility. The private owners charge the municipality a fee for providing the service involved. Another rule is that to the extent individuals are investors seeking the investment tax credit and, in the case of resource recovery or hydro -electric facilities, business energy tax credits, they must have a minimum of twenty percent "at risk" investment in the facility. This rule affects the extent to I I cl which the investors can resort to the use of non-recourse borrowings in order to capture these tax benefits. Under these financing alternatives, the municipality typically would first issue tax-exempt revenue bonds to fund the debt portion of the financing. The owner, if private, would invest equity to fund the non -debt portion of the financing and, in turn, would receive the benefits of the investment tax credits and accelerated capital depreciation. The funds raised by the municipal bond issue instrumentasuchvaslabfinancing lease or lnstailmenlr salestagreement which would enable the owner to receive the tax benefits. The municipality should protect itself by obtaining a security interest or mortgage on the privately owned facility which, in the event of �y default by the owner, enables the municipality to take possession . and replace the operator. Construction and operation will typically occur under (� competitive advertised or negotiated contracts between the owner and the municipality or between the construction contractor and the owner, if they are separate parties, and the municipality. Key points to address in the contracts are cost limitations, bonding, insurance, environmental permitting, damages, penalties, termination, and disputes. Revenues for debt service, operation, maintenance and replacement should be raised through user changes with the underlying understanding that the municipality is to set charges at whatever level is necessary to maintain an adequate debt service coverage ratio. A rate covenant in the financing will assure that the appropriate user charges are set. Aside from selecting which financial transaction should be used, it is imperative that all parties with a stake in the success of the venture carefully assess its economic feasibility. To do this, it is necessary to assemble sufficient information to create an economic model to forecast future costs. This is instrumental in determining what rates must be charged to capture'a sufficiently high rate of return on investment to attract investors. If these rates are out of line with what consumers will pay should the project be funded using conventional general obligation or revenue bonding, then the entire project is in economic jeopardy. By using software designed for use on micro -computers, it is possible to consider any number of variables including projected revenues, operating, maintenance and replacement costs, inflation rates, and financing cost data. Using this and other information, one can calculate the required fees over a 20 or 30 year period and the project's net present value. This can be updated continually as new or more accurate cost information becomes available and can be used for feasibility analves as well as for evaluating alternative approaches to financing.—/ ■ i The project evaluation should begin with the identification of the basic revenue and expense elements (sources and uses of funds) _ for the project. It is then necessary to deirelop reasonable assumptions for each of these elements in order to convert them to a dollar value. These assumptions must include labor rates, operating expenses, bond, mortgage or lease payments and revenues generated from sale of energy or other material. These assumptions should be converted to annual dollar values indicating the assumptions and calculations in order to permit careful review for possible errors „J in assumptions or calculations. Once the assumptions and calcuations are accepted, a simplified cash flow model can be developed to evaluate the project's economic potential over its economic life. The net present value of the project can then be determined by subtracting the annual projected fee for providing the service through traditional public means from the annual fee for the privatization approach. Each years' savings or costs are deflated and discounted to the present year and summed. This figure provides an estimate of the current economic value of the project. If the sum is a large positive member, the project should be pursued. If it is close12 zero or negative, the project's economic viability is in trouble ._/ If the project's current economic value is positive and the decision is made to go forward, it will be necessary to improve the economic model by honing the assumptions to determine how much movement within each element is permissible without jeopardizing the current economic value. where the assumptions are not based on reliable data, additional research will be required. Throughout the ensuing stages of the project, it is imperative to review and recompute the net present value. If the value drops, the project may have to be re-evaluated. The natural sequence of these events suggests a logical procurement strategy for the municipality. It should first select financial and tax consulting services in order to determine what types of transaction are feasible for the project in question. The municipality may also want to acquire the services of a management consulting firm to be overall project coordinator for the procurement and construction management responsibilities. It next should select, if needed, professional services to determine what user charges or rates should be assessed in order to cover all costs which may affect the economic forecast. Both of these services should be obtained using whatever form of negotiated procurement is permissible at the state or local level. Because these services can be provided by a number of different professions including accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, or engineers, use of a Brooks -Bill type of procurement would be inappropriate. This method of procurement, which ranks professionals on the basis of qualifications first and allows price negotiations with the highest ranked professional, should be limited to those services which only a professional engfsger can furnish provided State law does not provide otherwise._// - 10 - 110 Once these services are performed, the municipality is then in a position to solicit offers from professional engineers for the design of the facility using competitive negotiation or the Brook -Bill type approach. Finally, the general construction firm _ can be selected using the formally advertised sealed bid procurement method. If a "turnkey" approach is used, the "turnkey" contractor should be selected using this method. Based on the foregoing, it is clear that structuring the _j financial transaction and forecasting the financial prosects of a privatization project is a complex and somewhat risky of?air. In order to determine whether it is to a potential private owner's economic advantage to submit a bid or offer, it should engage in a preliminary yet thorough assessment of the financing alternatives and economic projections. This can be relatively expensive and may f# discourage many concerns from competing in this new arena, particularly when the public sector is either unwilling or unable to consummate a privatization transaction successfully. r The recent aborted attempt of the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority, Camden, New Jersey, (Camden) to use the privatization approach to build a new 75 MGD (million gallons/day) POTW and a 17 MGD addition and improvement to an existing plant underscores this latter point. There was strong private sector interest in the possibility of designing, constructing, operating and maintaining these facilities privately. By summer of 1982, Camden officials realized that major portions of its county -wide collection and treatment system could not be funded in the near future using EPA construction grants money. For the two facilities in question, Camden engaged a consultant which estimated that construction savings alone might approach 208 of the estimated project cost were it constructed using EPA funding. Much Lf these estimated savings were premised on the supposition that the private sector, not being subject to the EPA procurement under grant regulations,18/ can design and construct the facility in half the time it would take under the construction grants program and without need to abide by public procurement requirements including prohibitions against use of multiple prime contractors, use of unduly restrictive specifications,.and payment of wages inconsistent with those mandated by Clean Water Act.19/ By coupling these construction savings with the favorable changes in the Internal Revenue Code discussed above concerning the investment tax credit, accelerated depreciation, deductibility of interest expenses, and possible application of the energy tax credit, privatization, at first blush, looked viable. Encouraged by this preliminary review, Camden publicized a request for qualifications in the Engineering News Record and received nineteen responses. Camden established a selection committee for the purpose of evaluating qualifications with the expectation of using a - 11 - '� 1161 Brooks -Bill type approach where negotiations would occur with the most qualified firm or joint -venture and then to negotiate terms including price. While it never became an issue, use of this type of procurement method is questionable because it is inherently - non-competitive particularly as applied to price. A more appropriate approach would involve use of competitive negotiation. Camden at this point chose to retain a second consultant to coordinate the overall process including completing the request for *T proposals and to work with bond counsel, financial consultants, legal counsel, and other consultants. i A �g The new consultant promptly raised a series of issues not previously surfaced which have effective) stopped 4 w from going forward. First, local laws which the procurement activities 9 any overned Camden's prohibit it from entering into an service contract for a period in excess of three years. Second, serious questions were raised about the manner in which Camden intended to conduct the procurements including the legality of the intended negotiated Procurement method under state law and the pre -qualification procedures. Third, there was concern that Camden, being a regional authority, had to obtain approval from its client communities `f because the funding was not to be derived from traditional grant sources. Fourth, questions were raised in examining the Profitability or feasibility of privatization that labor and material costs might be subject to the state's sales tax considered. Further questions also focused on whether the property upon which the facilities were to be constructed was subject to local property taxes if built under public ownership and then sold to the private sector, or whether Camden would jeopardize its tax exemption if the property was leased to a profit-making private sector concern. Fifth, it was felt that it may be necessary to seek legislative clarification that the "privatized" facilities would not be subject to utility taxes on the rate setting authority of the State Public Utility Commission. Sixth, there was concern that i proposed federal tax legislation woul$jeopardize the tax incentives which make privatization attractive.—/ R Obviously, there was disappointment on all sides that so many obstacles cropped u to not only frustrating but paalso nexpensive forcthosenfirmslwhichIt was participated in the response to the solicitation. Most if not all had conducted a cash flow analysis and considered both tax and financial approaches. While each that did so gained expertise fromthe exercise, the public sector must be careful not to solicit responses from the private marketplace unless it first knows enough about the cash flow, tax, financial, and legal issues to permit aggressive pursuit of privatization. Aside from the potential obstacles surfaced in the Camden matter, those considering privatization must address the question of who has ultimate responsibility for the effluent and compliance with - 12 - 110 the NPDES permit. If total responsibility is kept in the private sector, the public sector must be given certain assurances and rights to intervene when there is substantial noncompliance. The public sector will want the private sector operator to be insured in _ the event of noncompliance in order to give teeth to performance assurances which should be in the agreement between the operator and the public authority. The insurance should also address the potential liability for public health damage which may arise from r noncompliance. The public sector would also want to be aware of the lAmitchoosinwhich ma be impiosed n their a�ility o expand capacity en g g W var ous fTnanc al a ternat ves. Finally, the private sector must be able to secure a promise from the public sector that it will be able, either by itself or through the municipality, to obtain sufficient rate increases to. cover increased operating expenses which occur without the fault or beyond the control of the operator. From the public sector's perspective, the agreement between the public and private sector must clearly state under what circumstances resale of the system may occur, when subcontracting is permi•tted,'and when, if ever, title will vest in the public sector. As the Congress settles down to exploring ways to strengthen the Clean Water Act and EPA's water enforcement abilities, it should seriously examine how to assist the states and the private sector in !� their efforts to find ways to finance POTW construction outside the channels of traditional grant funding. Current tax laws could be amended or clarified to give all parties clear rules by which to -, structure a privatization transaction. Congress may also want to J clarify whether it wants to permit the disposition of a POTW financed using EPA construction grants to a private concern without requiring reimbursement of the federal grant. Most importantly, l Congress must consider whether it wants aggressive enforcement against violators of NPDES permits. If it does, then it should consider providing the means, either directly or indirectly, to make this possible. - 13 - 6. 1161 I 5. J 6. r r� ;r � 1 9. 10.

They frequently get J involved in lobbying efforts on behalf of the construction industry, j_petitive access to the international most recently to ensure more com j ! —1construction market." — These comments by a staff member of a major trade association sum up Touche Ross' commitment to serving industry needs. f rcial bank loan officers, for At the request of an association o comme example, Touche Ross developed a set of financial statements for a hypothetical firm, Sample Contractor. This comprehensive accounting "package is updated regularly to illustrate the best features of current reporting and disclosure practice. More than 20,000 copies have been distributed through sureties, banks, and industrial seminars. It is effective because we understand, and the creditors know that we under- stand, that a complete credit evaluation requires information beyond Jthat required by the accounting profession's Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Such information includes data which demonstrate the contractor's ability to formulate plans and carry them out with a high degree of predictability. Touche Ross also developed a simplified version of these statements—Sitnple Contractor—focusing on more fundamental accounting considerations and presenting them in a format that can be readily understood by less sophisticated users. In addition to interpreting existing standards and procedures, Touche Ross has given high priority to creating innovative approaches f that respond to the nuances of the construction industry's informational j needs. Recently, the firm has been active in two major areas: • Touche Ross professionals have helped set AICPA policy by serving on the task force responsible for updating the industry's audit guide. �i • Touche Ross is working with an AGC committee to define the state-of- the-art in computer systems geared for the needs of contractors. In another major development, AGC's Construction Education Com - 7 mittee, citing a lack of understanding among contractors of financial 1 concepts and management, sought Touche Ross' help in bringing some consistency to the construction industry's understanding of concepts. In response to this need, Touche Ross developed a basic course for j - AGC's use which addressed the fundamentals of financial management -� in the construction industry, including financial analysis, long range financial planning, cash flow management, and job management. i Both contractors and sureties have also praised Touche Ross for its �) own in-house construction industry training programs. Touche Ross tax and management consultants, as well as auditors, develop their skills at the firm's expenses, not the client's. They may use a client in i their classroom, but they will never use a client as their classroom. °-� We know the importance of efficient auditing practices oriented j toward the construction industry, not the accounting industry. "When I find out Touche Ross is the accounting firm behind a contractor, I know I can count on the statements. They know what j, they're doing." —the head of the contract credit department of a major midwest bank. i -I The room is silent, the men around the conference table represent the "heavy -hitters" of the underwriting industry. The fate of a multi -billion — dollar fixed-price bidding project is at stake, with the financial where- withal of the sureties being severly tested. The cash collateral require- ^ ments alone make the feasibility of the entire project uncertain. "They were at a stalemate," recalls partner Steve Mueller in St. ' Louis. "They called in a number of financial institutions for advice, and when the negotiations were concluded, we were the only accounting s firm that was able to meet their specifications." Relying on its construction industry expertise, Touche Ross: • Prepared a financial model of all lending and guarantee relationships. • Analyzed the assumptions used in developing the model and mea- sured the impact on each creditor of the peak cash demand and the 1 sensitivity to various potential surprises. — • Developed a strong audio-visual program for presentation to prospec- tive participants. "We not only contributed to this particular transaction," says Mueller, "but we also developed a model system that we can use to test the financing components in future underwriting assignments." Before bankers and sureties will offer credit to a construction firm, they must be convinced of its sound financial condition. They have little patience for financial statements which are not clear and consistent with the formats they prefer. A Connecticut based underwriter told us, "With so many con- struction firms growing in size, we're going to be a lot more careful. We'll only be considering firms with the strongest financial statements." I Most creditors recognize that Touche Ross accounting philosophy j represents the industry standard for the proper, meaningful disclosure " of information, and that the financial statements of the firm's clients usually include far more than what is required by the accounting profession's Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Touche Ross clients will often issue exemplary financial statements which even the 1 most sophisticated analyst finds impressive. �^ "The way you perceive a problem has a lot to do with how you solve it," says Touche Ross partner Doug Flatten, based in Colorado Springs. C "Our people have been called in on a number of `hopeless cases' which other accounting firms couldn't handle. When you have a lot of experience in a particular field, solutions become much more obvious." — Hatten relates the story of a well known, highly regarded contractor with an excellent track record of assessing project complexity and risk. After submitting a winning bid on a major job, the contractor's I preliminary site work revealed that an entirely different approach would be required. "All of a sudden, he had a big back -end -loaded job on his books, a negative cash position, and a major liquidity problem," recalls Hatten. According to the contractor, "No one would lend us enough money to finish [lie job, because the presentation of our financial position did not convey our true capabili[ies." Before coming to Touche Ross for help, the contractor checked with several (Aller accounting firms for help, to _ no avail. "We always heard Touche Ross had tremendous expertise in con- struction related accounting—now we believe it," the contractor says. "They have some very talented individuals, and our mistake was we didn't go there first. In our experience, nobody else comes close. They're very responsive—head and shoulders above the rest in the 7 construction industry" louche Ross' expertise resulted in timely, innovative assistance to the contractor. "Complex new financing arrangements were put in place," says Hatten, "and as a result of our quick action the Project was completed on schedule and the Projected gross profits were realized.oSPtinssPaa Everyone was happy." ColoraDou6d Nancnvisirs �.net _�ot Yard (W 7 I � "The prospect of your first major foreign job is both exciting and frightening," says the financial vice president of a major east coast j7 , contractor. "Everything is foreign—labor, taxes, business customs, material procurement, everything. As if that wasn't enough, toward r— the end of the year our accounting firm told us we couldn't report our , big foreign job on a percentage -of -completion basis." Touche Ross professionals, familiar with complicated internationalAe jobs, were called in to evaluate the contractor's problem. "We were retained just 16 days before the fiscal year-end," recalls the Executiv Office's David Fredericks, manager of the Touche Ross team on the account. "Within days we were in the field to determine exactly how much of the project was finished." Since the "field" in this case was in the desert—the location was Saudi Arabia—the client developed quick respect for Touche Ross' fast professional action. "Your predecessors just didn't under- stand enough about construction to present our financial position accurately," the client told Fredericks. "But your people aren't afraid to get their hands dirty—you really know our business." The time constraint was exacerbated by the state of the client's records, according to Fredericks. "Nevertheless, we accomplished what i another `Big 8' accounting firm said could not be done, and the client as well as the banks were aware for the first time of the project's potential r profitability as reported in audited financial statements. Our work L' allowed him to report on a percentage -of -completion basis." For every foreign contract you get, the chances are good that Touche 1- Ross will have an office there to help you locally. According to the financial vice president of a major North Carolina construction com- pany, that's a distinct advantage: "International work requires new approaches and many different types of financing. We've got to cope with unstable governments and unstable currencies; therefore the logistics of accounting and financial y matters take on a new importance. Firms entering the international arena must be very cautious—an innovative, long term view is crucial. There's no question that Touche Ross can be a big help." From London, Touche Ross' Page Thibodeaux adds: "Prior to the start of the project, the most useful advice to obtain locally concerns the ; vehicle to use—a joint venture, a local corporation, or a branch operation—plus the local tax structure and the lawyers and bankers one needs to deal with. Once the project is underway, you need up-to-date — accounting and an early warning system to advise you of political or legal changes that could affect the project.

Sums up John Brogni of Milwaukee, "It is imperative that a contractor's — professional advisors have not only a general knowledge of international business concepts in all these areas and particularly in the tax area, but _ also a thorough knowledge of the cash flow needs and risk factors of the client's more significant projects overseas—and how these factors affect the company domestically." MI "When we initiated our relationship with Touche Ross about five years ago," said a financial executive at a major electrical con- struction firm, "I had no idea of how many different kinds of problems an accounting firm could handle. Because we had a very open dialog with them, they knew what our concerns were and what we wanted to accomplish. They really took the lead in knowing and solving our particular problems." "They needed guitiance in a variety of areas," recalls Touche Ross partner Drew Holderman, now based in Houston. "We knew what they wanted to accomplish, so we directed our resources to support their position. When we heard that their previous accountants said some- thing couldn't be done a certain way, we were even more anxious to do it the client's way—not the accountant's way." At Touche Ross, auditing is defined as the process of identifying, assessing, and monitoring the risks that are most likely to affect the contractor's financial statements. As Holderman will tell you, he and his colleagues concentrate their efforts on the most critical areas of the client's activities to ensure the maximum efficiency in the audit process. Holderman's client now has a good perception of what the term "full service" really means. The company has benefitted from all of these Touche Ross services: • Restructuring of the executive bonus plan to meet long-range goals. • Design and implementation of sale/leaseback programs, day to improve cash'^�, How. �.

The final hallmark Whether the client's needs are in banking and bonding, international construction, or in the full service accounting realm, the service he can expect from Touche Ross will have one important hallmark: Touche Ross' service to the construction industry provides clients with the expertise and tools necessary to run their businesses more efficiently, more effectively, »tore profitably.

Four professionals and their answers Steve Mueller, St. Louis ■ "Historically, the construction industry has been composed of lots r �- of little family operations. But there are too many variables today—it's getting too complex—and the industry is shifting to an { entrepreneurial/ professional manager mode. This is particularly true in the financial management areas where people are looking closely at profit margins, the effects of inflation, and the r; increasing complexity of financing. Where there were one or two bidders before, now there are 10 or 12. The company with the best handle on cost control will take the lead. We're also seeing I^I� more and more joint venturing as well. The accounting for these can L� get terribly confusing. The key is in writing a very strong joint venture agreement before the thing is put together." ■ "Ninety-five percent of all construction companies are closely -held in terms of their ownership. Our construction industry professionals kinds of companies. We know J are very strong in working with these the construction industry, and a major part of our thrust is in making recommendations on how to improve operations and the structure of I S U such firms. To do this, you need a good solid business background with expertise in construction. Add some financial savvy to your basic audit skills and you've got a construction industry specialist." C Clients: Tarlton Corporation, Fred Weber, Inc., Guarantee Electrical Conipany David Fredericks, Executive Officel New York "One of the most significant trends to emerge in construction in the ■ 80's will be the increasing international flavor of the industry here and abroad. There will be more U.S. projects with foreign joint venture partners, and smaller construction companies will be ventur- t ing into overseas work. The range of problems that are encountered can be enormous—from demonstrating the financial wherewithal to the income earned from the job. obtain the project, to repatriating While the technical, legal, financial, social, and logistical problems - can be overwhelming, they can also be solved. If there is any aspect i of the construction business which will truly challenge our capabilities, in the 80's, it will be working in the ever-changing `. international realm." ■ "The single most important thing that one must understand about the'— he'-construction That is, the itself and constructionbusiness is its product. project the terms and conditions of the agreement underlying that project. is understanding that what has been the j But even more critical traditional project in the past will most likely not be the project of the , future. We see contractors buying majority positions in broker into with high-technology houses, dealers, entering agreements diversifying into the field of energy, joint venturing with unlikely 1(6k r, partners, and so on. Clearly, a vivid imagination combined with a n; solid understanding of the industry's past will be necessary to serve the contractors who will develop tomorrow's `products'." Clients: Morse -Diesel, Inc., The DeMatteis Organizations, T.F.,7ackson U International Denton Hantnrmtd, Atlanta ��� "Economics may not be favoring construction now, but by the tion mid -80's we'll see tremendous growth in domestic construe , 17 particularly in such specific markets as process engineering. Demo- graphic shifts will favor the Sunbelt with its decentralized structure, office parks, and rebuilding of the suburbs. Internationally, work will be more difficult to get in light of increasing competition from England, Japan, and Korea." J"The most important thing for an accounting professional to realize is that his client probably can't throw a problem at him which he _ can't solve. Even if he doesn't have the expertise to handle a given problem personally, he'll know that somebody in his organization does have that experience. The best thing he can do in servicing his —� client is to convey the confidence that comes from having a network of industry experts behind him who have well rounded perspectives on all kinds of construction firms and their problems.

Thomas Dekar, Detroit ■ "We're looking at an industry which, in the 1980's, will become a lot better managed. Increased interest rates, inflation, and skyrocketing costs are putting more pressure on management to become more sophisticated. As a result, we'll see tremendous growth in the amount of detailed information needed by contractors. Marketing orientations will change, we'll see more turnkey design/build work what we're really talking about are some dramatic philosophical changes in an industry which has been slow to change in the past." `v "In order to be invaluable to his clients, the professional must have his finger on the pulse of the industry. First-rate client services important—it always will be—but the real value comes in offering a broad perspective to the client on a variety of issues and problems. The professional needs to be attuned to the market, he must understand trends, and he must have a wealth of problem -solving data at his fingertips.

Our staff attended the consultants briefing and met separately 1-1 with members of the city's staff and other local individuals knowledgeable of previous activities. In addition, we reviewed the reports and summaries received from the city, as well as local newspaper accounts and other background information describing the developments that have led to your request for qualifications. J It is apparent that the city has already completed a consider- able amount of planning and design work related to the upgrad- ing of the existing sewer collection network and a new treatment system. We understand, however, that lack of avail- able federal grant monies combined with the city's low ranking on the state priority list, have virtually eliminated the possibility of grant assistance. Faced with the unforeseen burden of financing approximately $50 million of improvements locally, the city requires an independent review of previous �- work and an evaluation of potential alternative strategies to determine the most cost-effective, technically sound, and financially implementable solution to the city's wastewater 7 management needs. Further, the review and evaluation must Jbe unbiased and undertaken without preconceptions as to which alternatives may be most favorable. Our understanding is that the city requires the following general output products from this study: o Detailed documentation of the evaluation of techni- cal and financial alternatives. o Identification of a recommended alternative for implementation. o A comprehensive description of wastewater collec- tion and treatment facilities included in the recom- mended alternative. o A project implementation program which defines construction phases, financing requirements, and sewer system user charges. 1 From our review, we are confident that we understand your project requirements. Section 3 of this statement briefly describes our approach to satisfying these requirements. GLT69/7 1-2 1 161 Project. Team 110 i � I r � Project. Team 110 F Section 2 ' PROJECT TEAM - THE TEAM To perform the alternative study proposed by the City of Iowa City, CH2M HILL has associated with Government Finance Associates, Inc. (GFA). The team provides comprehensive capabilities in the evaluation of alternative engineering and financing strategies for implementation of the city's wastewater management program. The team proposed has jointly worked on four separate projects for the City of Portland, Oregon. These joint project efforts are described in Section 4 of this statement. JCH2M HILL, INC. GENERAL BACKGROUND JCH2M HILL is a multi -discipline engineering firm which special- izes in water and wastewater engineering. The firm employs more than 2,000 people in 32 offices across the country and in some overseas locations. Our Milwaukee Regional office serves as the principal location for providing our professional services in Iowa and throughout the upper Midwest. The firm i provides services to government and industry in sanitary, mechanical, structural, civil, electrical, chemical, and - environmental engineering; construction management; urban, regional and environmental planning; economics; environmental and ecological sciences; an surveying, photogrammetry and mapping. CH2M HILL has completed many large and small wastewater pro- f _ jects throughout the country and is a pioneer in the develop- ment of advanced wastewater treatment technology. Specialized capabilities are provided in facilities planning, infiltration/ i y inflow studies, sewer system evaluation surveys, sewer and interceptor design, biological and advanced treatment system design, industrial process and plant design, solids handling j and reuse system design, construction management services, value engineering, in -plant operations, evaluations and troubleshooting, computer modeling and environmental assess- i ments and studies. The firm has a well-established reputation of project completion on time and within budget. The firm's past record of satisfied clients, award-winning projects and engineering innovations is the best indicator of its capabi- lities and qualifications. CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND OWNERSHIP CH2M HILL is corporation authorized to practice engineering throughout the United States. The business of the corporation 2-1 1141 ■ is managed by its Board of Directors. With the exception of the corporate staff, the firm is organized in the form of a matrix. The principal components of the organization matrix are the operating offices, each assigned responsibility for a geographical region and grouped into districts as appropriate, and the technical disciplines, organized along market or technical discipline lines. All personnel are assigned to both a discipline and a region, the discipline for technical guidance and development and the region for administration, day-to-day work assignment, specific project execution, and profit and loss responsibility. The advantage of this organi- zation is that it allows the full resources of the firm to be readily and effectively utilized on projects in any region. It is CH2M HILL's policy to maintain ownership of the company totally by persons actively contributing to the success of its operations. Accordingly, all employees with more than one year of service share in the ownership through the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). No persons/entities control more than 5 percent of the company's stock. GOVERNMENT FINANCE ASSOCIATES, INC. Government Finance Associates, Inc. (GFA), with offices in Princeton, New Jersey and New York, New York, has concen- trated on water and wastewater financing and financing is- sues as a primary activity of the firm. As a national orga- nization with water and wastewater clients throughout the country, they bring wide exposure and experience to both wa- ter and wastewater financial management engagements. J GFA has taken an active "hands on" approach in their role as financial advisor to cities, states, and public utilities. In particular, GFA has been involved from the very beginning with several clients in the establishment of the appropriate mechanisms and features to satisfy various water and waste- water financial needs, including financial considerations, management issues, structural considerations, and institu- tional issues. GFA has shown the ability to help clients structure their water and wastewater operations and develop sound, financially viable water and wastewater systems with the capability to finance their capital needs. GFA has been responsible for the capital financing of over $500 million of new water and wastewater financings for first-time issu- ers. LOCAL CONSULTANT For purposes of this submittal, we have elected not to asso- ciate with a local consulting firm. However, we have had discussions with some of the local firms and are prepared to enter into a local association if we are among the short listed firms and deem it to be in the best interests of the project.

This would be accomplished through periodic progress meetings and submittal of technical memoranda at key points in the project- It may also be desirable to present interim findings to the city council. Maintaining close contact with the city in this manner would assure that decisions reached are in accord with the city's objectives and would enhance the potential for project implementation. Figure 3-1 outlines the general flow of proposed activities in the Iowa City Alternative Study. Under this conceptual approach, the study is divided into four major segments. A technical memorandum will be prepared after each of the first three segments. A final report will be prepared at the con- clusion of the fourth segment. Brief descriptions of each segment are given below. A more detailed approach will of course be developed if we are selected to prepare a proposal for the project. REVIEW OF PREVIOUS WORK The study would begin with a detailed, unbiased review of previouslpreviously evaluated l uated wastewater management alternativesleted work. The review would address tand proposed financing strategies. The review would be compre- hensive and particularly attentive to assumptions and criteria utilized in the previous decisionmaking process. In addition all related background information (e.g. the city's current financial state and/or sfederal atax nd alegislation) ny lwould be data gatherednat this time. IDENTIFY POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVES Potentially feasible wastewater management alternatives and financing alternatives would be identified. The alternatives would include any feasible options advanced after review of previous work, potentially feasible options proposed by CH2M HILL and Government Finance Associates, and any additional options that, in the opinion of the staff and city council, merit evaluation. Based on our current understanding of the project is is likely that 5 or 6 wastewater management alternatives may be identi- fied.

Expansion and upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment plant has potential to compare favorably and therefore would also be analyzed. CH2M HILL will identify several potentially feasible wastewater management plans, keeping in mind the limited financial resources of the city. In addition, several alternative proposals seem to exist within the community; the city may request that one or more of these proposals be developed and analyzed. I Several financing options may be worthy of consideration. The city has indicated a desire to explore third party private sector financing, including leveraged lease and other methods that, as a result of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, may offer cost-effective financing of the facilities. Conventional revenue and GOB bond financing would also be evaluated. CONDUCT ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION i Wastewater management and financial alternatives will initially J be developed and analyzed in parallel. Wastewater management alternatives will be evaluated with respect to reliability, flexibility, sociopolitical and environmental acceptability and costs. Financial strategies will be evaluated with respect to a number of criteria including payment equity and user affordability, revenue adequacy and cash flow, financial risk, revenue stability and reliability, state and federal -' tax laws, cost minimization, ease of implementation and admini- stration, and public acceptance. Any management or financing alternatives proving unacceptable as a result of preliminary comparison with the criteria, would be eliminated. - Feasible management alternatives and financing strategies would then be coupled to form two or more logical comprehen- sive plans. These plans would be analyzed and compared and a recommended plan would be identified. — DEVELOP THE RECOMMENDED PLAN - The final phase of the study will involve detailed development of the recommended plan. This development will include identi- fication and layout of all required wastewater management facilities and development of a systemwide operating plan. A project implementation schedule would be prepared, identify- ing design (if necessary) and construction packages. This schedule would serve as a management guide for those charged with the responsibility of ensuring timely project completion. Lastly, the financing strategy of the recommended plan would be developed in detail. The financial implementation plan would outline in detail the key elements associated with securing funds necessary to finance and operate the project. This would include identifying all sources of funding, the amount of funds supplied by each source, and the timing of 3-2 1W bond sales (if necessary) along with an estimate of both the size of the bond issues and their associated annual debt service payments over the life of the study period. The plan will also identify the timing and magnitude of increased sewer user charges required to generate revenues to support the recommended plan. PROJECT SCHEDULE Figure 3-2 presents a schedule for the Iowa City Alternative Study based on the conceptual project approach previously described. The 24 week period identified in the request for qualifications should be adequate time to perform the study. The first quarter of the time would be spent reviewing previous work and identifying potential alternatives. The major thrust of the study will be the alternative evaluation. We expect that this phase of*the project would be completed in 10 to 12 weeks. Technical Memorandum 3 would be prepared at that time summarizing the evaluation and identifying the recommended plan. After the city'reviews Technical Memorandum 3 and concurs with the evaluations and conclusions, we would spend 4 to 6 weeks refining the details of the recommended plan and preparing the final report. The final report will be available for review by the city and the regulatory agencies by April 1, 1984. We have shown a regulatory review period of approximately 8 weeks on our preliminary schedule.

Both members of the project team are currently working for Iowa communities and thus are familiar with state codes and regulations. CH2M HILL is currently providing engineering services to the City of Muscatine for a major upgrade and rehabilitation of the Muscatine Water Pollution Control Plant. In addition, CH2M HILL has previously or is now providing engineering services in the Iowa communities of Burlington (Burlington Municipal Water Works), Keokuk (The Hubinger Company), and Cedar Rapids (Penick and Ford Ltd.). Government Finance Associates is lcurrently a financial advisor to the City of Cedar Rapids. The following paragraphs describe some of the recent experi- ence of CH2M HILL and Government Finance Associates on projects j that required capabilities similar to those necessary to complete the project proposed in Iowa City. A list of refer - 1 -tt ences familiar with our involvement on these projects is provided in Appendix A. WASTEWATER TREATMENT CH2M HILL has over 30 years of experience in all aspects of wastewater treatment. It has prepared more than 150 Sec- tion 201 Facilities Plans and has designed over 500 municipal Jand industrial wastewater treatment systems, ranging from less than 1 mgd to over 100 mgd in design capacity. We have been involved in planning, design, and construction of over 4,000 miles of sanitary and storm sewers. Appendix B lists many of these projects and their associated construction costs, while Appendix C contains detailed descriptions of a few pertinent projects we have performed in the Midwest. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES CH2M HILL is a leader in providing construction management — services, ranking 6th nationally in the 1984 En ineerin News Records Survey. Appendix D lists projectson which CH2M HILL has performed construction management services. The types of projects include wastewater treatment plants, irrigation systems, airports, industrial facilities, and many others. 4-1 INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING CH2M HILL has contributed heavily to the advancement of engineering technology through the application of innovative processes. Table 4-1 lists some representative projects using innovative processes. A more complete list of innova- tive engineering advances contributed by CH2M HILL are given in Appendix E. FINANCING PROGRAMS REGIONAL UTILITY FINANCING PROGRAMS CH2M HILL has assisted Regional Utility Authorities to formu- late strategic financing plans and policies, identify and evaluate alternative funding sources, and develop detailed revenue programs to recover the costs of operations from system users. Representative clients include the Metropoli- tan Milwaukee Sewerage District, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Regional Wastewater Authority, Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and Alberta Environment, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. FINANCING POLICY STUDIES CH2M HILL economists have conducted studies to determine and evaluate various financing methods, including short versus long-term financing, innovative financing options, and self- financing techniques. Representative clients include Seattle City Light Company, Seattle, Washington, Butte Water Company, Butte, Montana, and Glacier Highway Electric Association, Juneau, Alaska. WHOLESALE UTILITY RATES CH2M HILL economists have developed cost recovery methodo- logies that enable cities to recover the cost of providing utility services to customers outside their corporate boun- daries. These methods ensure that the City's full costs are recovered and that the basis for the charge is fair and equit- able and consistent with accepted cost -of -service rate making principles. Representative clients include the cities of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Portland, Oregon, Vancouver, Washington, Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, and Falls Church, Virginia. FORMATION OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS CH2M HILL has assisted many clients form assessment districts to finance utility improvements. This financing technique levies a special tax assessment on those properties benefiting from an improvement project. Representative clients include Redding, California, Cottonwood, California, Foresthill Public Utility District, Placer County, California, and Collier County, Florida. 4-2 116 i SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGE STUDIES Facing large capital outlays to finance improvements required to meet growth, many cities have called on CH2M HILL to cal- culate system development charges. This financing technique identifies the cost of capacity available within a utility system to meet the service demands of future users. These costs are then translated into a schedule of charges paid for by new customers when they connect to the system. Studies of this nature have been completed for Aurora, Colorado, Vancouver, Washington; and Englewood Water District, Englewood, Florida. - GRANT AND LOAN APPLICATION ASSISTANCE Although financing from federal and state grants and low interest loans has declined in recent years, CH2M HILL some- times evaluates the potential for using these programs in the analysis of financing options. Access to the Federal Assistance Program Retrieval System (FAPRS) enables a computer search to be made of available federal grant and loan programs. Close contact with state and local officials by staff in our regional offices provides CH2M HILL with specific information about assistance programs in local areas. Some of the clients CH2M HILL has provided assistance in identifying and applying for potential grant/loan funds include the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District, Yakima, Washington, Yuba County Water Agency, Yuba County, California, and the Kennewick Irrigation J District, Kennewick, Washington., CONTRACT OPERATIONS CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. operates one of the largest waste- water treatment plant contract operations groups in the United States through its subsidiary, Operations Management Interna- tional, Inc. (OMI). Table 4-2 presents project references. I� PRIVATIZATION t L CH2M HILL, OMI, and Signal Clean Water Corporation are currently 1 in the process of privatization of the new Orlando, Florida, wastewater treatment plant. CH2M HILL is evaluating process i selections and conducting value engineering to optimize the required treatment facilities. The plant will be built and E j� owned by Signal and OMI will provide contract operations. L: The city elected to privatize the project rather than issue public revenue bonds because: 1) the facility could be brought on-line sooner, 2) bonding capacity could be preserved, and 3) the unit costs of treatment could be lower. 4-3 IQ n u GFA EXPERIENCE GFA has extensive experience in the area of municipal 1� utility financing and serves as financial advisor for many cities and public entities throughout the United States, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Portland, Oregon; Baltimore, Maryland; and the State of New York. Its experience in I municipal financing includes the development of financing plans for water and wastewater systems, identifying financing options for utility capital improvements, the analysis of third -party "privatization" financing for - municipal projects, and the preparation of supporting documentation required to sell and market general obligation and revenue bonds. GFA has performed financial advisory activities for more than 40 entities. Completed debt issues total more than $290 million in 1984 alone, including $10 million in general J obligation bonds for Cedar Rapids. Table 4-3 lists "privatiza- tion" financings handled by GFA. JJOINT CH2M HILL/GFA EXPERIENCE As noted previously, CH2M HILL and GFA have worked together on four separate projects for the City of Portland, Oregon.

Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority, Resource Recovery Facility, January 1983. As financial advisor to the.Authority, GFA structured the third party financing of a $190,765,000 resource recovery facility to serve the City of Baltimore and Baltimore County. A contract was negotiated with Wheelabrator -Frye, Inc., for operating the plant and being an equity participant in the project's financing. Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were issued to finance the majority of the capital cost. Contact: Mr. Robert Schoenhpfer Executive Director Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority 131 E. Redwood Street, Suite 503 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (301) 659-2730 2. City of Alexandria, Virginia, Sale -Leaseback of an Historic Struc- ture, August, 1983. Using changes in the tax law precipitated by the 1981 Economic Recovery Tax Act, GFA structured a sale-leaseback financing to pay for the renovation of an historic building in Alexandria, Virginia. Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were sold to finance the proj- ect. Third party participation in the project resulted in cost savings to the City of approximately 20 percent when compared with conventional financing methods. Contact: Bradford S. Hammer Deputy City Manager City of Alexandria City Hall, No. 310 P.O. Box 178 Alexandria, Virginia 22313 (703) 838-4780 3. Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority GFA has been retained to assist the Authority to develop specific financing for resource recovery facilities. The analysis of third party financings is currently in progress and these methods will likely be used to finance the projects. GLT69/11 ■ Table 4-4 JOINT CH2M HILL/GFA EXPERIENCE 1. -City of Portland, Oregon, Analysis of Sludge Composting Alterna- tives and Financing Options. CH2M HILL and GFA worked together in evaluating various sludge disposal alternatives for the City's wastewater treatment plant. CH2M HILL economists and engineers identified relevant project costs for the various alternatives and developed a present worth economic analysis model to determine the least cost project alter- native. Financing mechanisms for the recommended alternative, a sludge composing facility, were then explored by GFA. As part of this review, GFA modeled the effects that both a "privatized" financing and a revenue bond financing would have on annual debt service costs. Although "privatization" of the facilities resulted in lower total cost, the risk associated with the innovative engi- neering design of the composter system resulted in GFA recommending that revenue bonds be sold to finance the project. 2. City of Portland, Oregon, Bond Feasibility Report. CH2M HILL prepared a bond feasibility report to support the sale .j of $13,000,000 in sewer revenue bonds to finance the construction J of a sludge composting facility. This report was included in the Official Statement describing the bonds. GFA, as the City's finan- cial advisor, assisted CH2M HILL in the development of financial projections and debt service assumptions associated with the pro- posed bond sale. 3. City of Portland, Oregon, Analysis of Cost Recovery Methodologies. CH2M HILL assisted the City in identifying various techniques that could be used to recover the costs of providing sewer service to large wholesale sewer customers outside the City's corporate boundaries. The identified cost recovery alternatives were evalu- ated based on their financial effects on the City, fairness to wholesale customers, and ease of administration. The recommended alternative was then presented and subsequently adopted by the City. 4. City of Portland Oregon, Bond Feasibility Report. CH2M HILL prepared a bond feasibility report to support the sale of $10,000,000 in sewer revenue bonds to finance the construction of major pump station and trunkline facilities designed to serve a large unsewered urban area adjacent to the City, a portion of which had recently annexed to the City. This report was included in the Official Statement describing the bonds. GFA, as the City's financial advisor, assisted CH2M HILL in the development of finan- cial projections and debt service assumptions associated with the proposed bond sale.

Descriptions of Appendix , C Pertinent Projects C: APPENDIX C MUSCATINE WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY :_1 Muscatine, Iowa CH2M HILL has been working with the City of Muscatine on an extensive program of rehabilitation and upgrading of the Water Pollution Control Plant to improve treatment performance. CH2M HILL was originally retained to conduct a complete evalu- U ation of the City's 12.5-mgd, high -purity oxygen, activated sludge facility which treats a high strength combined municipal/ industrial wastewater. The initial evaluations, completed in late 1981, encompassed wastewater characterization, evalua- tion of wastewater treatability, assessment of plant opera- tions, evaluation of existing plant processes and facilities, - and the determination of plant process and facility upgrade and rehabilitation requirements. �-� Recommendations of the evaluation were that the City convert Li to the biofilter/activated sludge process of liquid treatment and change from the existing lime stabilization of sludge to _ anaerobic digestion. The biofilter/activated sludge process offered the City substantial operational cost savings over continued use of the high energy consumption of the pure oxygen generation facility. In addition, this modification of the liquid treatment process freed a portion of the acti- vated sludge basins to be converted to anaerobic digesters, resulting in an estimated $2 to $2.5 million dollar cost savings over construction of new digesters. The City, with the approval of the Iowa Department of Water, Air, and Waste Management, elected to implement these recom- mendations in September 1983. CH2M HILL was retained by the City to design the improvements and provide construction phase services. The design of the liquid treatment system improvements has been completed and construction is scheduled to start early this summer. Design of the sludge processing improvements is underway with all construction activities at the plant expected to be completed by July 1986. Appendix C 1 00 1 :I ;■ ^, r MADISON METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT Madison, Wisconsin CH2M HILL completed a 201 Facilities Plan for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. Included in this study was - a detailed evaluation of existing treatment facilities re- sulting in documentation of their operation, condition, and performance, and recommendations for upgrading and operational J optimization. In 1980, CH2M HILL completed an update of the liquid treat- ment portion of the Facilities Plan. This update reanalyzed the treatment required to meet new water quality standards that were set after the original facility was completed. The results of the updated plan demonstrated that the receiv- ing stream could handle a significantly lower level of -efflu- ent quality and still meet the designated water quality istandards. Most notable was the ammonia -nitrogen requirement that was relaxed from a monthly average of 0.1 mg/1 to 3.1 mg/1. This significantly reduced nitrification capacity and saved the District millions of dollars in construction and operation costs. CH2M HILL also assisted the Madison MSD in developing a highly successful, innovative, organic sludge reuse program. Anaer- obically digested sludge is stored in lagoons at the treatment plant, transferred to remote agricultural sites, and land - applied as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. CH2M HILL was responsible for the planning and design of several key elements in this program: o Additional digestion capacity had been provided by three 80 -foot -diameter buried tanks with auxiliary heating and gas systems. o The sludge transport and land application system designed by CH2M HILL includes a vehicle loading building, six transport vehicles, three applica- tion vehicles, and three in -field storage tanks. o A multipurpose operations and headquarters building ul designed by CH2M HILL contains administrative of- fices, a 3,000 -square -foot laboratory, engineering offices, and facilities for the plant operations staff. An unusual feature of this building is the J use of waste heat obtained from boilers fired by digester gas for both space heating and cooling. (During hot weather, excess hot water runs an ab- sorption chiller that air conditions the building.) Construction of all elements was completed in 1982 at a total cost of about $10 million. The project was funded by EPA Appendix C 2 IW n � � �� .� �� r ,� J �J -- J i �� ��I �� n � � JONES ISLAND WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District CH2M HILL prepared the facility plan, preliminary design rj report, and is now completing design services for the upgrad- ing and expansion of the Jones Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. A segmented approach is being taken for design and construction. There will be a total of approximately 10 plus �J design -construct packages with construction costs ranging from $1 to $20 million. Each design package must be prepared to accommodate multiple prime contractors required by Wisconsin state law. To date, design packages have been completed on time to meet strict scheduling deadlines required to secure state grant funds. Currently, construction is ongoing for 7 several design packages at Jones Island. CH2M HILL design responsibilities include facilities for influent pumping, preliminary treatment including screening and grit removal, primary clarifiers, secondary treatment, sludge thickening, instrumentation and control, and other utility -related site work. i j J i Appendix C — 4 SLUDGE STORAGE FACILITY I� Appleton, Wisconsin The City of Appleton sludge management process consists of land application of thermally conditioned, dewatered sludge L' on agricultural land in the local area. During the early spring, soil conditions preclude spreading operations and �-I require the City to store sludge until field conditions im- prove. CH2M HILL performed a feasibility analysis of poten- tial storage options and concluded that storage of sludge in a building at the plantsite was the most reliable storage option. t CH2M HILL has designed a 23,800 -square -foot building to store "-1, 5,000 cubic yards of dewatered sludge, house the materials handling equipment, and provide ample working floor space for sludge handling vehicles. The design required special - architectural and structural considerations to tie in the J new building with an existing building. Other special design considerations included utility relocation, sludge leachate collection, and building ventilation. Construction of the $1.5 million project was completed March U 1984, in ample time to be available for spring storage. CH2M HILL provided resident inspection and services during the construction phase of the project. 7 Appendix C u 5 L NO n BELOIT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Beloit, Wisconsin CH2M HILL completed an evaluation of the Beloit Wastewater ! Treatment Plant in 1977. The Beloit plant treats a mixture Li of domestic and industrial wastewater using the activated sludge process. The study consisted of a wastewater charac- terization to determine the industrial and domestic wastewa- ter sources and their present and future volume, strength, and other characteristics. The treatment plant evaluation r involved a process -by -process analysis of capacity and oper- ation from which the capacity of the entire plant was evalu- ated. The study found that the liquid processes had a capa- city of 8.0 mgd, sufficient to treat the current and projected wastewater quantities. However, the solids handling processes lacked sufficient capacity to handle the increased solids loading contributed by new industries. An evaluation was made of solids handling alternatives and it was recommended J to thicken the waste activated sludge prior to digestion, expand the anaerobic digesters, and land apply the digested sludge. J J J Appendix C 6 EVANSTON SEWER MODELING STUDY Evanston, Illinois The Evanston Sewer Modeling Study involved collecting and 7. organizing data describing the 121 miles of Evanston's com- bined sewer system. Data indicating sewer size, length, and invert elevation were coded by sewer location and entered in a computer data base. The System Analysis Model (SAM) was used to calculate the capacity of each reach of sewer. The existing system capacity was found to vary significantly with many upstream street laterals having greater capacity than downstream collectors. The adequacy of the existing sewer capacities was evaluated for runoff rates expected to be exceeded once in 2, 5, 10 or 25 years using the sewer system model. Sewers requiring relief to convey flows without unacceptable surcharging were — identified. Construction costs of relieving these sewers Jthrough replacement with the minimum required pipe size were estimated. j The report provided detailed description of the existing sewer system, the flow it carries, and factors outside Evanston that affect system capacity. it also summarized the relief needs and anticipated costs of upgrading the sewer J system to accommodate each of the test runoff rates. Details of sewer relief needs and a suggested sewer improvement prior- ity were provided to the City. As a result of this study, !i the City now has a complete, organized reference describing - existing sewers, peak flows, and relief sewer requirements, and is prepared to embark on a sewer system upgrading program. Appendix C 7 4( MILWAUKEE WATER POLLUTION ABATEMENT PROGRAM MILWAUKEE METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE DISTRICT Milwaukee, Wisconsin Milwaukee's vast sewer system has been plagued by numerous basement floodings and sewer system overflows. The District agreed to terms with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to solve basement flooding problems and eliminate overflows. CH2M HILL has been involved in the planning and design of the upgraded sewer system to meet the terms of the agreement. Our efforts have included: o Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) studies and subsequent sewer system evaluation studies (SSES) to identify sources of excess flow and rehabilitative measures throughout the 238 -square -mile sewer service area. o Analyses to develop and evaluate combined sewer overflow abatement alternatives. The analyses identified the conveyance -storage -treatment (CST) option as the preferred abatement alternative. This alternative, portions of which are currently under design and construction, proposes additions to the near -surface collectors, deep tunnel storage, and subsequent off-peak treatment of excess system flows. Our work on the sewer system has been closely coordinated 'with our design activities related to the Jones Island Waste- water Treatment Plant, Milwaukee's largest treatment facility, a 220-mgd plant being upgraded and expanded to 300 mgd. Appendix C 8 Mo ir7 n ST. LOUIS RIVER DES PERES PROJECT „a METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS SEWERAGE DISTRICT St. Louis, Missouri jCH2M HILL has been involved with planning and design activi- ties for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewerage District for approximately 5 years. The 110 -square -mile River Des Peres f drainage basin is one of the four major drainage basins in u the District's service area. Our efforts with respect to the River Des Peres basin have included: o Extensive field surveys, community interviews, and records reviews to identify and establish priorities for drainage problems and relief measures o Application of hydrologic principles through linear regression modelling, using data from an extensive Jmonitoring program to predict sewer inflow and infiltration and associated overflow wasteloads o Evaluation of alternative overflow abatement strate- gies 0 Identification of a relief sewer system to relieve 1 surcharging and eliminate separate sewer overflows J o Predesign of the rehabilitation'and reconstruction of the 8 -mile -long River Des Peres Foulwater Inter- ceptor, the backbone of the basin's collection system The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewerage Districtis currently — developing a phased implementation plan for necessary River Des Peres basin improvements.

DAIGGER Wastewater Treatment Specialist Education _ Ph.D., Environmental Engineering, Purdue University M.S.C.E., Environmental Engineering, Purdue University B.S.C.E., Purdue University Experience l 161 Dr. Daigger is a wastewater treatment specialist in - CH2M HILL's Wastewater Reclamation Discipline. He serves as a process engineer, project engineer, and project consultant on a variety of municipal and industrial wastewater treat- ment and reclamation projects. His areas of expertise include biological wastewater treatment and treatment - process design. In addition, he is an Assistant Director of the Wastewater Reclamation Discipline with firmwide respon- - sibility for process engineering. j Dr. Daigger served as chief process engineer for the upgrade and expansion to 160-mgd capacity of the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. Following'a major plant failure in the fall of 1979, CH2M HILL was retained to J determine the causes of the upset, identify plant deficien- cies, and design the needed improvements as well as a plant expansion. The program implemented included improved opera- tional and management procedures as well as major additions to the liquid and solids processing trains. Dr. Daigger's involvement included evaluation of the existing plant, study and design of plant improvements, and operational assistance during the sensitive canning season. Dr. Daigger has conducted evaluations of alternative treat- rj ment processes for both existing and new treatment plants. Examples include the 160-mgd San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pol- lution Control Plant and the 65-mgd West County Wastewater Treatment Plant for Jefferson County (near Louisville), Ken- tucky. The San Jose plant is an existing advanced waste- water treatment plant which treats a high strength municipal and industrial (canning) wastewater. The West County plant will be a new facility, and the evaluation included a com- prehensive analysis of secondary treatment and sludge treat- ment and disposal alternatives. - Dr. Daigger has also conducted process and operational eval- uations of existing treatment plants. An example is an evaluation of the 135-mgd North Wastewater Treatment Plant _ for the City of Memphis, Tennessee.

EWILD, GRANT, RECKERT & ASSOCIATES CO 7 i i DGR - ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING I Preservation of stream quality has long been a major activity of DGR. The firm pioneered the use of two-stage _ activated sludge and large scale rotating biological sur- faces as advanced wastewater treatment techniques in Iowa. DGR also designed this state's first conventional sewage lagoon. Our staff was instrumental in developing anaerobic - aerobic waste treatment design criteria for meat packing operations. This system of treatment is now the established "standard" for much of the industry. Advanced wastewater treatment systems designed by DGR not only surpass current EPA standards, but also look toward coming trends in water -? quality protection. I The firm has rendered extensive consultation and assistance to clients in the filing of study and single or tandem grant applications submitted to EPA and other governmental `J agencies, including FmHA and HUD. DGR has provided complete design and construction inspection services for more than 50 wastewater treatment plants and over 60 interceptor sewer and storm water projects. Numerous Operation and Maintenance Manuals and Operator Training -j programs have also been developed for our clients.

'ER TREATMENT FACII H NEW ULM, MINNESOTA 'n 1968, the City or New Ulm, Minnesota began a major Improvement trogram to upgrade the City's wastewater collection, treatment and disposal system. The program's objective was to raise treatment levels for municipal and industrial wastes, and to help protect the -+nvironmental stability of the picturesque Minnesota and Cottonwood liver Valleys. The total program, as developed for the City by DGR's Environmental Engineering Department, included construction of several now sewerage lines, Iwo new lift stations and an advanced wastewater realmenl plant. The new treatment plant, which was completed in 1975, replaced an outmoded trickling filter plant built In 1939. The older plant was unable to comply with new effluent discharge regulations and did not have the capability to meet the needs of New Jim's expanding commercial, residential and industrial communities. Construction work on the new treatment plant began in January, 1973 following an extensive program of flow measurement, waste load analysis and facility design. The new facility cost approximately $5,580,000 to construct and was financed through grants from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Minnesota Pollution Con- trol Agency and by the City of New Ulm, Treatment Process The New Ulm Treatment Facility uses a complete mix, activated sludge treatment process. The process was selected because It offered the City the most economical treatment method while allowing maxi- mum operational flexibility. Design Data Treatment Capacity 6,040,000 gallons per day — Hydraulic Capacity 12,620,000 gallons per day 1995 population equivalent 122,800 people Industrial Loading 32.2% of flow "- 71.3% of BOD, Treatment Loading Flow Boo, Design (average day) 4.82 MGD 20,871 lbs/day Design (peak month) 5.42 MGD 21,592 lbs/day Design (peak day) 6.77 MGD 24,180 lbs/day 3lluent Discharge NPDES Permit Plant Effluent Limitations Suspended Solids 510 mg/I 25 mg/I BOD, 510 mg/I 30 mg/I Colitorms 510 MPN/100 ml. 200 MPN1100 ml. The City's entire waste flow Is channeled through the 20th Street Lift Station and pumped to the new plant location. The Lift Station provides preliminary treatment to the flow consisting of debris screening, grit removal In an aerated grit chamber, and comminution. The flow Is then pumped through a 24 -Inch diameter forcomaln 4000 feel to the main treatment plant. The Incoming flow is split between two 65 foot diameter primary clarifiers. Four 86 foot square aeration tanks provide second stage or biological treatment to the flow. Two final clarifiers settle out remaining biological suspended solids and micro-organisms carried by the flow. The clarified flow Is then disinfected and the effluent discharged Into the Minnesota River, A secondary outlet into the Coltonwood River has been provided for use whenever the Minnesota River is in flood stage. Sludge, settled out of the flow by the primary and final clarifiers, which Is not routed back into the plant's aeration tanks as activated sludge, Is processed for disposal. The sludge is either hauled to agricul- tural land or thickened, conditioned, disinfected and dowatered. 1161 Special Design Provisions The City of New Ulm has for many years maintained a combined wastewater and storm drainage sewer system. In the last 30 years, the City has undertaken a program to separate these systems at all new construction locations and in several existing residential areas. The combined systems. however, still operate in the City's central business district and in several nearby residential areas. The treatment plant was designed to treat the combined flows during normal peak flow periods but not the extreme flows occurring during periods of high storm water runoff. The plant design anticipated a rather high fluctuation of hydraulic loading. This problem was solved by DGR engineers using open, gravity flow channels throughout the plant. The new treatment plant is designed to treat wastes from an extensive Industrial community. Rapidly developing Now Ulm Industry accounts for over 30% of the hydraulic loading and over 70% of expected BOD, load at the treatment plant. The activated sludge process requires (return of) a high percentage of settled biological solids to the aeration tanks for proper seeding of the Incoming raw waste. This is the key to the activated sludge process. Because of the wide fluctuation in hydraulic loading at New Ulm, this return activated sludge factor was a critical variable. DGR engineers utilized Iwo specially developed, five -loot diameter, auger type pumping units to meet the high flow requirements of the return activated sludge. These units have a combined capacity of 9,000 gallons per minute and can return from zero to 150 percent of the Incoming plant flow. This provides the plant operator with complete flexibility over a wide range of hydraulic and waste loading conditions. To offset the adverse effects of cold weather on the final clarification process, the two 65 tool diameter clarifiers were enclosed with fiberglass covers. The covers help retain the clarifier tank's liquid warmth and prevent winter icing conditions. Process piping, electrical and communication lines, are routed through underground piping tunnels. The 8' wide by 11' high tunnels link the major treatment tanks and provide easy access to all lines and valves for maintenance and repair operations. Normal plant operation is controlled through a central control console located on the second floor of the plant control building. The console operates all monitoring and control functions for the Center Street and 20th Street lilt stations as well as the treatment plant. Elaborate visual and audible alarm systems were Incorporated Into the control center to alert the plant operator in case of equipment failure. A data logger system, interconnected with the central console, auto- malieally monitors and records flow levels and selected operational Information at the Center Street and 20th Street till stations, and at various treatment plant locations.

IMENT PLANT YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA When Yankton, South Dakota upgraded Its waste treatment facilities in 1975, the city assumed that its waste treatment problems were at an end for many years to come. Actually, the most serious problems were just begin- ning. The city had installed a relatively new Activated Blo-Filter (ABF) system a slacked arrangement of redwood pallels for supporting growth of micro- -organisms - that was supposed to satisfy the discharge limitations estab. lished by the Environmental Protection Agency. However, the ABF process _ was so new that it had not been fully tested and when Yankton's FBF began operation, it could not reduce the waste strength sufficiently to consistently —meet EPA discharge limitations. Because of this, Yankton fell afoul of the federal standards. In an effort to correct the situation and to comply with an enforcement action being Imposed by EPA, Yankton turned to DeWild Grant Reckert and 'Associates Company of Rock Rapids, Iowa, forassistance in 1977. DGR res- ponded with a preliminary report that called for construction to be carried --out in two phases. j The first phase is to correct the immediate problems and to build a —facility that will be able to meet the discharge limitations. The second phase, which will be required in 1990, will increase the plant's waste han- Zing capacity to the ultimate capability of the present site. The most Important Item of construction in Phase I, which began In June 1980, is an aeration tank. It has been established, since Yankton's ABF system was Installed, that the ABF works best it followed by short-term —aeration. With the aeration tank, the ABF system will function much better than It has and should reduce the waste strength to a level below EPA Stan- -dards. The aeration tank Is somewhat unique in that the depth of operation is —(variable. When the ABF Is operating, the depth in the aeration tank will be set at about 15 feet. When the ABF is not operating, as would be the case if —pit were taken out of service for repair work, the depth In the aeration tank will be Increased to 20 feet. This added depth will Increase sewage deten- .—lion time and, when coupled with an increase in air supplied to the tank, O ' O Qi.._�.. ... . rns+� O LARIfIEfl o ,❑ should also be able to meet the discharge limitations. In this fashion the plant would be operating essentially as an activated sludge type facility. Another unique feature about the aeration tank is that it will be built around the final clarifier which will result in benefits from the common wall con- struction as well as minimizing heat loss. Among other Items related to this project in which DGR is involved are: 1. A building to house the pumps and blowers for the aeration tank; 2. A new Inlet pretreatment building to replace an existing structure; 3. A laboratory -office building built last yearwhich contains the master control center for the entire waste treatment plant; 4. Remodeling of an existing pump building which will Include not only new chlorination facilities but also a non -potable water system that will utilize treated wastewater for watering the grounds, washing down various facilities at the plant and other miscellaneous uses; and 5. Increased sludge digestion and handling capabilities in the plant. However, a number of options regarding this situation are being studied and the best option has not yet been determined. Certain portions of the Phase I Improvements utilize what EPA con- siders to be alternative technology. This largely Includes the sludge han- dling facilities and entitles approximately hall of the project to an additional ten percent In grant funding. The sludge produced will be digested anaerobically and used even- tually in agriculture applications. The gas produced In the digesters will be used for digester heating as is commonly done but the excess will be used to run a gas-fired motor -generator set Instead of being burned off. This will enable the facility to provide a portion of Its own electrical power require- ments and reduce operating costs. As with many projects, DGR is not designing new facilities from scratch but additional facilities to supplement those already in existence. In the case of the waste treatment plant, the new facilities must complement and be compatible with facilities designed previously by other engineers. Also, the proposed construction must be accomplished in such a manner that the existing facilities can continue to operate during the construction period.

Iowa became the first munici- pality in the United States to operate a full-scale wastewater treatment plant utilizing packed bed reactors (PBR's). The award-winning design for the plant had been developed by DGR's Environmental Engineering Depart- ment. The plant had been originally built in 1953 and met the needs of the town of 2.800 people until the early 1970s. At that time. the plant was still in good operating condition but various state agencies adopted new regula- tions for effluent quality and also reclassified the Rock River as a warm water fishing stream, which required the removal of substantial amounts of ammonia from the sewage prior to discharge in the river. While studying various sewage plant designs, DGR became aware of research being conducted at Iowa State University in the field of filtration of biological effluents. This research was geared toward developing a cost effective means of upgrading existing trickling filter type facilities in cir- cumslances where new water quality criteria would dictate substantial .: removals of various pollutants, including ammonia. In short. this described the situation at Rock Rapids, Although DGR had initially designed the renovated plant to use Rotat- ing Biological Contactors (which were in use at other DGR -designed facilities), the plans were scrapped and the system that was developed by ISU, using the PBRs, was adopted. Throughout the design of the S1.2 million project, emphasis was placed on utilizing the existing plant components during and alter the renovation and practically all components were reused in some manner in the reno- vated plant. ' In addition to the operational aspects of the project. DGR engineers anddesigners also paid attention to architecturally blending the newly -con- structed components with those that were existing before the renovation look place. The project received the top award for design excellence in engineer- ing for 1979 in competition held by the Consulting Engineers Council of Iowa.

The raw sewage is conveyed to a prim- ary clarifier where floating and settleable solids are removed. The flow is then split and diverted into two 70' diameter trickling filters of conventional design. Following intermediate clarification, the sewage flow is pumped to the packed bed reactors. Each PER. also called a paklor, is an 1E' high by 23' diameter steel lank containing porous media supported over an inlet chamber through which the influent wastewater is distributed. Air is passed upward through the unit from an air distribution grid located immediately below the bottom of the media bed. This mode of operation results in a high degree of biological efficiency. Wasle removal occurs rapidly in the lower levels of the bed where both substrate and biological solids are present in high concentra- tions. As the waste flows through successive layers of media, organic mat- ter is removed continuously by the biological solids that are active in each layer. The solids produced in the first regions of contact are worked upward by the action of hydraulic lifting and flotation. During this period, these solids actively accomplish further waste removal. Near the top of the bed. biological decay of accumulated microorganisms can exceed the rale of solids synthesis. By this time. the effluent liquid is highly purified and the suspended solids remaining in the effluent consist largely of dead cells which are not subject to further decay. The effluent from the PBRs then flows through three gravity filters and then through a chlorine contact tank where it is chlorinated before.being discharged into the Rock River. All grit and sludge that is separated at the primary clarifier is pumped into two aerobic digesters to be stabilized and is then hauled out to farmland. Special Features Throughout the design of the plant, great emphasis was placed on the utilization of existing plant components. The entire existing facilities. ofher than sludge drying beds. were reused in some manner in the upgraded plant. The primary clarifier was reconstructed and outfitted with a new mechanism. Both trickling filters were rehabilitated through removal of the rock trickling filler media, extensive repair and rehabilitation of the underdrain system, replacement of the rock and equipping the filters with new distribu. tion arms. The filters were also covered entirely with reinforced fiberglass covers which help maintain higher wastewater temperatures during winter periods. The final clarifier was restored, fitted with new equipment and put - into use in the upgraded facility to serve as an intermediate settling device. The plant was designed to operate with the intermediate clarifier; however, regulatory agencies insisted on its continued use in the upgraded plant. The anaerobic digesters were gtitted and converted to aerobic digesters. The control administration building. located between the digesters. was completely gutted and retained to house sludge pumping and aerobic digestion equipment. New plant construction consisted of an addition to the administration building, the Intermediate lift station, the packed betl reactors. the gravity sand filter budding and the chlorine contact lank. Particular attention was given to architecturally blending new construction into the existing slrlm- tures DeWild Grant Reckert and Associates Co. 315 First Avenue Rock Rapids, Iowa 51246 110 -MUNICIPAL WASTEWE --R TREATMENT PLANT -EMMETSBURG, IOWA In August 1976 the City of Emmetsburg, Iowa began operation of a —'new and highly efficient wastewater treatment plant. Developed for the City by DGR Environmental Engineers, the new facility —was Iowa's first major municipal wastewater treatment plant to use 'Rotating Biological Conlaciors. —The new treatment plant replaces an older trickling filter facility that was built In 1938. The old facility was constructed when Emmetsburg —had a population of only 2,800 people and was designed for a maximum population equivalent of 4,000 people. Since that time __Emmetsburg has grown to a current population of approximately 4,200 people and has experienced significant industrial expansion. 4A'N TREAWEtA hTLWN5 Md111TENLNCE BInLGne PLANT SCHEMATIC Treatment Process Wastewater treatment at the Emmotsburg plant departs dramatically —from conventional treatment processes. The plant uses a static screen preliminary treatment assembly rather than conventional primary clarifiers and RBC units In place of aeration tanks or trickling filters. The incoming wastewater is gravity fed through a now 21" diameter sower linking the City's sewerage system to the now treatment plant. All preliminary treatment processes are housed in the main treatment building, The Incoming flow Is measured, shredded to —break up fiberous material and passed through a grit removal chamber. The flow then passes through the static screen assembly for primary filtration. The static screens filler out organic and inorgnnic particles down to 0.1 Inch in size which are carried by the flow. Rotating Biological Contaclors or RBC units, provide the main treatment process. The Emmetsburg Plant uses two parallel treatment The plant was also unable to meet current state and federal effluent discharge regulations. The new treatment plant Is located in a newly developing area of Emmetsburg. DGR Incorporated into the facility design special provisions to minimize any appearance or odor problems that might arise. The resulting facility is a modern, low profile industrial complex that serves to promote development in the surrounding area. The new facility cost approximately $1,845,000 to build.

Each contactor Is a largo rotating plastic drum made up of stacked polyelhyline discs. The drums have an Immense surface area per unit volume and provide an environ- ment conducive to the growth of waste treatment micro-organisms. The unique feature of the RBC process is that the number and typo of micro-organisms which attach themselves to the process discs varies nlong the treatment path depending upon the composition and organic load carried by the flow. This forms a self-regulating condition which makes the RBC process less sensitive to hydraulic and organic load fluctuations while allowing higher levels of treatment than activated sludge processes. Two 35 foot diameter clarifiers provide final clarification, The Imated flow Is then disinfected through chlorine contact, and discharged. Sludge, removed from the static screens and final clarlllers, is disinfected and dewatered for disposal, l 161 Special Design Features The Emmetsburg Treatment Plant incorporates several specialized design features which were developed by DGR to solve individual applications problems. All inlet works and preliminary treatment processes are housed within a specially designed portion of the main treatment building. This was accomplished by using static screens rather than large primary clarifiers. Careful analysis also showed that the smaller screen assembly was more cost effective for the Emmetsburg plant than clarifiers. By enclosing all preliminary and main treatment processes within the treatment building, the Emmetsburg facility avoided the overall appearance associated with conventional treatment plants. This also minimized any offensive odor problems which might discourage commercial and industrial development in the surrounding area. a' The only treatment processes located outside the main building are two final clarifiers and the chlorine contact tank. These processes are considered "odor•free" and the tanks are located in such a manner, as to be normally shielded from view. Enclosing the majority of treatment equipment within the main building Increased operator convenience for maintenance and repair operations. These operations can be performed even during extended periods of inclement weather with a minimum of discomfort. Special care was taken to assure easy access to all equipment housed within the facility. The treatment building was designed with partially removable roof sections over the RBC Room. This allows easy replacement of the 11 fool diameter x 25 loot long RBC units, if this should be required. A specially designed, high capacity ventilation system was developed by DGR's Mechanical Engineering staff to control the high humidity levels normally associated with RBC processes. Increased levels of fresh air ventilation and air movement are concentrated in the RBC room. Normal heating, ventilation and air conditioning levels are maintained throughout the remainder of the building. A high ground water condition was encountered at the now plant site. Ground water penetration was prevented through the use of a special concrete aggregate admixture and specially designed water slops, DeWild Grant Reckert & Associates Co._ 315 First Avenue Rock Rapids, Iowa 51246 - MUNICIPAL WASTE`ATER TREATMENT F 'ANT IDA GROVE, IOWA In June 1979, the city of Ida Grove, Iowa, began operation of a new, highly efficient, wastewater treatment plant. Developed by DGR en- vironmental engineers, the new facility was designed to meet stale ef- fluent limitations to protect the quality ofthe water In the Maple River. Ida Grove's new facility replaces an older trickling filter plant that was built In 1934 on the northwest side of the city. The plant could no longer comply with the new effluent discharge regulations nor did it have the capacity to meet the needs of Ida Grove's expanding popula- tion. The site for the new treatment plant was selected In the area of the old treatment plant to minimize the amount of new sewer construction . __I _..__,__ .,,......e,. #o in addition. city -owned properly was available at this location for the new treatment plant and other planned city facilities such as a central storage and maintenance garage. The site is also located a distance from residential developments, thereby minimizing odor problems that might arise.

Two 30 -foot diameter clarifiers provide final clarilication before the treated flow Is disinfected through chlorine contact and then discharg. ed Into the Maple River. Solids removed during the treatment process are stabilized by using the aerobic digestion process prior to disposal by wet hauling on. to agricultural land. I(Q Special Plant Features The Ida Grove treatment plant incorporates several specialized design features which were developed by DGR to solve individual ap• plication problems. Aeration in a two-compartment tank open to the atmosphere with wet hauling of the digested sludge to agricultural land was designed for the plant to accomplish stabilization of the solids removed by the clarification process and biological growth produced during the RBC process. This design results in a well stabilized sludge with minimal plant operator control requirements and minimal equipment and piping requirements. The air blowers for the aerobic digestion process were designed to also provide air to the grit removal chamber; these blowers are housed in a separate buried structure along with the digested sludge pumps, resulting in minimal building construction for these units. Careful analysis showed a single primary clarifier (with static screen for backup purposes) to be the most effective primary treatment method for the Ida Grove plant. Using the static screen in a backup capacity provides maximum solids removal without requiring the con. struclion of a duplicate primary clarifier. A specially designed, high capacity, ventilation system was developed by DGR's mechanical engineers to control the high humidity levels normally associated with RBC processes. Increased levels of fresh air ventilation and air movement are concentrated In the RBC room. Normal heating, ventilation and air conditioning levels are main• tained throughout the remainder of the main building.

Iowa was economic reasons, construction of a new facility at a remote location - the stale's first two stage activated sludge treatment plant, designed be undertaken. to achieve tertiary treatment levels. The treatment plant was the second phase of a three part wastewater system improvement program developed by DGR environmental engineers. The program included construction of three sewage lift stations, 14 and 16 inch diameter force mains and sewerage - connections to the State of Iowa's Mental Health Institute. The institute had previously provided its own waste treatment. —Cherokee's new facility replaces a two stage trickling filter plant, built in 1939. The plant was unable to meet current effluent standards and did not have the hydraulic capacity necessary to handle the treatment load for the rapidly growing northwest Iowa community. ---The engineers recommended that for sociological, technical and Treatment Process Nastewaler collected from throughout the City Is channeled to the —new treatment facility through a 16" diameter, three mile long force main. Largo grit and debris is removed from the flow by screening, comminution and/or grit separation at the now till stations. _Initial treatment at the plant is through a 40 foot diameter primary clarillor. Tho flow is then gravity led through a splitter box Into the first stage aeration tanks. The splitter box permits operation of the ilanl's aeration tanks in either series or parallel modes, and allows iiversion of flow to the City's nearby industrial park waste treatment —agoons. The aerated (low then passes through an Intermediate clarifier and nto the second stage aeration tanks. First stage aeration lowers he carbonaceous DOD level by approximately 75% and following Following an extensive evaluation and design program, construction of the new facility began in May, 1973. All phases of the wastewater Improvement program were completed by July, 1975. Construction cost for the plant was $1,402,000. Total cost for the three phase program was $2,193,000. Construction was financed through a federal EPA grant (48%), an Iowa EPA Grant (24%), an Iowa Department of Social Services Grant (4%) and by the City of Cherokee (24%).

The second stage aeration tank provides an environment conducive to the nitrification process. The tank was designed with redwood barrier baffles to allow plug flow aeration. Provision was also made for automatic addition of lime for control of pH at low temperatures. The treated flow passes through a final clarifier and a chlorine contact lank. The disinfected effluent is discharged Into the Little Sioux River. A portion of the sludge, settled out in the clarifiers, is returned to the aeration tanks. This maintains the necessary biological con- contralion for effective aerobic treatment. The remainder Is processed for disposal. 1161 Special Plant Features Following a detailed analysis program DGR engineers selected a two stage activated sludge treatment process for the new Cherokee facility. At the time of design, this process offered the best combination of treatment effectiveness, operational efficiency and system flexibility. Design of all facilities and equipment was performed to promote operational efficiency. Process piping between tanks was routed through an underground piping tunnel. The 10' diameter tunnel, constructed of corregated metal, provides easy operator access to valves, piping and pumps for maintenance and repair. Control operations for the plant are centered at the main control panel located in the sludge processing building. The specially designed control center houses remote operating switches for all process equipment, motors and pumps. The center also provides operational monitoring and complete alarm systems. A remote readout, graphic display panel is located in the Plant Operator's Office. The panel provides visual and recorded readout of Influent and effluent flows and operational status of all major treatment equipment. Secondary Emergency Alarm systems are -- housed In the panel. Air, necessary for biological treatment in the plant's aeration tanks, Is provided by a system of three multi -stage centrifugal compressors. Each compressor has a capacity of 1750 CFM and operates at five psi. The incoming air is drawn through a high efficiency bag type air filtration system. The system fillers the air to a specification of 0.09 milligrams of dirt per 1000 cubic feet of air. Process monitoring is provided by a fully equipped testing laboratory. -- A continuous testing program monitors Influent and effluent levels of suspended solids, BODCOD, Coliforms as well as solids and •- ammonia series analysis. ;7,z�F4DeWild Grant Reckert&Associates Co._ 315 First Avenue Rock Rapids, Iowa 51246 SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS i The following projects are representative of DGR's present activity in -wastewater treat--ent.

There are presently seven alternatives included in the Summary of Alternatives, one proposed by Dague and Kimm in their July 27, 1933 proposal and one (improvement and expansion of the existing treatment system) requested by the City I Manager in the April 10, 1984 Request for Proposals. Additional "I alternatives may be considered appropriate during this evaluation. We 17 proposed to take the following approach to this study. 1. Review design assumptions and projections used for each stage of development that has not been constructed since a number of years j have passed since design began. i 2. Review and/or determine industrial development plans for the �i present and future industries in Iowa City for consistency with above -t projections. 1 3. Review all reports prepared by engineering and financial J consultants including: a) Infiltration/Inflow Analysis, November 1976. b) Sewer System Evaluation Survey, May 1979. c) Privatization Study - Arthur Young, October 1983. i-� d) Proposal for Phased Development - Daque and Kimm, May �l 1983 ` e) Sewer and Treatment Plant plans and specifications. 4. Review City financial status, public and private financing options, bond alternatives and sewer charges. I 5. Review condition of existing facilities and present and _ projected 0&M procedures and costs. 6. Perform value engineering on all existing designs to determine if savings can be effected. 7. Evaluate costs for any of the 9 alternatives that could meet City objectives. 8. Determine if any other alternatives are more cost effective - and environmentally sound. 13 u �i J I L1 9. Determine costs to City and sewer charges required for most feasible alternative using public and private financing options. 10. Perform sensitivity analyses on critical assumptions in both public and private financing options. 11. Determine above costs and charges for second most feasible option. 12. Prepare preliminary reports including: a) detailed description of proposed facilities; b) schedule of development; c) cost estimates; d) design modifications recommended for existing plans and specifications; e) financial options and yearly estimate of costs and charges associated with each. This report would include a master plan incorporating the time schedules consistent with City goals and a corresponding cash flow analysis for the most feasible and second most feasible alternatives'. The master plan would allow a clear understanding of the program objec- tives, the schedule which must be met to reach these objectives, the magnitude and timing of the necessary financial committments, and the effects of the plan on pollution control and sewer charges in Iowa City. 13. Prepare final report incorporating recommended modifications. While not shown above, Sverdrup will meet with IDEQ to review their pre- sent and future funding strategy. We will also maintain a close contact with Mr. Schmadeke, Director of Public Works, and plan on briefing and consulting with him at critical points during the study.

Where appropriate, a project may be owned by a general limited partnership, a joint venture with a financial institution, a municipality itself, or even the corp- oration. Likewise, when money is borrowed, it may be from the public or ! from a private financial institution such as an insurance company, bank, I or savings and loan. Depending upon the needs and qualities of the project, it may be financed with tax exempt debt or a traditional mortgage. R j 1. Convention Plaza, St. Louis l� Through its SPIRE subsidiary, Sverdrup has been the developer i of a 16 -square -block area located on the immediate north side of Down- i"I town St. Louis. In the early 1970's, Sverdrup developed a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the area working in conjunction with the city government. Among the projects included in the development are: ° The St. Louis Convention Center, which occupies a four- square -block area in the heart of the Convention Plaza Devel- opment. After one bond issue to finance the project had been rejected by the St. Louis voters, Sverdrup Corporation worked — closely with city officials in order to develop an alternative source of project funding. The project, which is owned by the j — City of St. Louis, was eventually financed with the proceeds j of a bond issue approved by the voters in 1972. Work on the $35M complex started in 1974, and the Center opened in June of 1977. Since its opening, the St. Louis Convention Center has become the hub of additional redevelopment efforts in the north side of the city involving a number of developers in addition to Sverdrup. ° The Sheraton St. Louis Hotel immediately east of the Con- vention Center was developed by Sverdrup Corporation. The 17 -story hotel contains 615 guest rooms in addition to a restaurant and bar, night club, 12 meeting rooms, and a 12,000 -square -foot grand ballroom. The project is owned by a limited partnership, the general partner of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SPIRE Corporation. The total project cost is $20 million. 0 The Radisson -St. Louis Hotel is on the immediate west side of the Convention Center. This five -story, 300 -room hotel is owned by a limited partnership, the general partner of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SPIRE Corporation. The pro- ject, which opened in early 1981, was constructed at a total cost of $14.5 million with equity privately placed and mortgage privately negotiated with an insurance company. 15 1 M o Three Sverdrup financed office buildings offering more than 300,000 square feet of office space to local tenants. A -, variety of financing techniques was used to develop these projects. One of the buildings is an equity Joint Venture between a wholly owned Sverdrup subsidiary and the subsidiary _ of a local Savings and Loan association. The second building is owned by a general limited partnership subject to a tradi- tional mortgage privately negotiated with a life insurance company. The third building is owned by a general limited partnership that financed through the use of industrial de- velopment bonds. o Two permanent garage -type facilities providing spaces for 1,200 automobiles. One of these garages, which is presently under construction, will be owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation and financed by the use of industrial development bonds. All told, over $90 million of development has been financed in the Convention Plaza area to date. The Convention Plaza development is _ based upon the concept of placing a suburban office park development including green areas and open spaces in an inner city setting. Financing on the project has been arranged by Sverdrup through a number of different entities and the utilization of a number of different financing techniques, emphasizing flexibility in financing and the ability to utilize alternative approaches dictated by the project needs.

Riverport, St. Louis As development and activity in the Convention Plaza area winds down, Sverdrup has begun development activities on a different type of project located on a 500 -acre parcel of western St. Louis County, Missouri. ,The project, which is located in the flood plain of the Missouri River, will require the construction of a levee around the project site. Placement of project financing is awaiting approval of levee construction plans by the Corps of Engineers. The development will consist of a 370 -acre office/ industrial park, the first phase of which will be a 37 -acre development including 200,000 square feet of retail space, 140,000 square feet of office space, and 200,000 square feet of rail -served industrial property. The financial plan for the development calls for the formation of a general limited partnership which will own the property and finance improvements through a com- bination of industrial development bonds and traditional mortgage financing. Industrial development bonds will be used to finance infra- structure improvements. Traditional mortgages will be used to finance construction of the improvements.

The tax incentives provided by the 1981 Economic Recovery Act provided great impetus to the develop- ment of hydroelectric facilities. Sverdrup has prepared complete finanacial and technical feasibility studies for 30 such projects and currently has two projects, one in California and one in New York in the active stage of private development, awaiting environmental approvals. 17 31 VI INNOVATION Sverdrup has directed its expertise to innovation in both the public and private sectors. In the private sector this has resulted in patented air pollution control techniques, novel designs of wind tunnels for automobile and engine testing and improved methods of ore processing. In the public sector we have developed methods for reducing construction time and costs, and used innovative treatment technology in a number of instances. Only these latter cases are discussed here. 1. Infrared Thermography - Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Sverdrup conducted a research and demonstration effort for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) to pinpoint voids around sewers before they lead to major collapses. Our engineers developed an experimental approach which involved: a) selection of a potential problem area for study; b) visual inspection of sewers by a crawl crew; C) testing and comparison of technologies including infrared thermography to determine effectiveness in locating subsurface problem areas; and d) verification of the results with truth borings. Because of the success of infrared thermography in locating subsurface voids, this project won the Consulting Engineers Council of Missouri 1984 Honor Award. Contact: Robert J.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Palm Coast, Florida - Palm Coast Utility Corporation An expanded 1.6-mgd wastewater treatment plant in Palm Coast, Florida, uses a unique system of concentric infiltration ponds for effluent disposal. Sverdrup designed both the treatment plant expansion and the new effluent disposal system. Compared to effluent disposal by spray irrigation, the new system: absorbs effluent loads seven times greater (per square foot); requires far less land; and uses substantially less power for pumping. ' The new effluent disposal system consists of three concentric high -rate infiltration ponds, located on a hill to achieve the maximum hydraulic gradient. By taking advantage of the natural topography, Sverdrup's design reduced earthmoving requirements and construction costs. The pond system, which allows an average hydraulic loading rate of 4.6 inches per day, operates on a two-week cycle. During the first week, effluent is pumped into the ponds; during the second week, it drains into the soil. When drainage is complete, pond soil is worked with a disc to help soil organisms digest the effluent. Some effluent is pumped to a modified spray irrigation system covering 62.8 acres. Design improvements to this system increased its hydraulic loading rate from 2 to 5 inches per week, while reducing operating pressure to save energy. 18 110 t '1 "` Contact: Ronald G.

Gainesville, Florida - City of Gainesville F Due to the steady and rapid growth of the City of Gainesville }A in recent years, the City's Kanapaha Wastewater Treatment Plant, is to reach its 7.0 mgd design completed in November 1977, projected 1983 to mid -1984. The Kanapaha plant currently " capacity by late provides modified advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) with effluent the Floridan aquifer.

Water Treatment Plant, Alton, Illinois - Alton Water Company Design/build from Sverdrup played a crucial role in the delivery, in less than a year, of a new 5-mgd water treatment plant expansion for the Alton Water Company. With the innovative design/build 19 approach, the project moved from the proposal stage to the beginning of construction in less than two months, a critical factor in its timely completion. Design/build enabled construction to begin while final design was still under way. The new plant augments an existing treatment system that was becoming inadequate to meet the needs of Alton's service area consisting of 40,000 residents, businesses, and industrial concerns. The 5 mgd added by the new facility increases the capacity by a third, and will meet area needs through the year 2000. Sverdrup installed three vertical turbine pumps for raw water intake and two 42 -foot -diameter helical flow reactor clarifiers. Transfer pumps deliver water from the filtration system to the one -million -gallon finished water storage tank. Numerous chemical feed systems are also part of the treatment plant. They include coagulant polymer, liquid alum, powered activated carbon, liquid caustic, chlorine, fluoridation, bentonite, and potassiumpermanganate controls,feeds. Each has the appropriate tankage, piping, p�p , associated equipment. The entire plant was on-line only 11 months after proposal --a period which represents less than half the time normally required for such projects. Contact: Richard Hargraves, Vice President & Gen.

Regional Sewerage Improvement Program, Eugene/Springfield, Oregon - Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission was created specifically to develop a metropolitan sewerage system for the Eugene/Springfield area. The improved system, to be completed in 1965, will serve 277,000 residents in a 100 -square -mile area. Because of the new agency's small staff and lack of construction and operating experience, it chose a project management approach for the sewerage improvement program. After a nationwide selection process, the commission retained a joint venture of Sverdrup with Brown and Caldwell, named HCS, to manage design and construction of the entire project. As project manager, BCS has drawn up and is implementing a project management plan which includes construction strategies, schedules, and cash flow projections. BCS is also providing such construction management services as: administration of design and construction contracts; financial and engineering reviews of designs; bid management; construction surveillance; assistance with environmental impact assessments; and monthly progress reports. In all, BCS is responsible for the management of seven design, financial, and value engineering consultants; more than 30 construction contracts; and 40 prepurchased equipment and material packages. To manage a program of 20 I 1 II I E — _1 this magnitude cost effectively, Sverdrup developed a computerized schedule and cost control system that provides Critical Path Network Scheduling, Cash Flow Management, Records Management (including a microfilm project record system), a Real Estate Development Cost Accounting System, Financial Modelling and Inventory Management. The improved sewerage system will feature a new primary and secondary treatment plant which will handle 66,000 ppd of biochemical oxygen demand; 77,000 ppd of suspended solids; and flows of 49 mgd in average dry weather, 70 mgd in average wet weather, and 175 mgd in peak wet weather. BCS also identified the benefits of a coordinated insurance program for the entire project and assisted the owner in securing passage of state legislation which permitted implementation of this insurance program. Anticipated savings stemming from the insurance program are $2 to 3 million. This, together with value engineering, realized total savings of $10 million to the client. Contact: Mr. William W.

Effluent Recycling in Wastewater Treatment - City of Fort Meade, Florida An innovative cost-saving Sverdrup design for a municipal wastewater treatment plant permits effluent to be reused in phosphate mining operations. The design made it possible for the Fort Meade, Florida, treatment plant expansion to qualify for 85 percent federal funding under EPA's Innovative/Alternative funding guidelines and to avoid the cost of tertiary treatment. The city of 5,000 people had two problems with its wastewater treatment operations. First, Fort Meade had outgrown its 0.5 mgd wastewater treatment facilities and no new connections were allowed because of effluent violations. Second, with the passage of the 1972 Federal Water Pollution Act and the 1977 Clean Water Act amendments, the city was forbidden to continue its practice of discharging effluent into the Peace River without additional costly advanced treatment. Sverdrup was commissioned to assist in the preparation of a 201 Facility Plan and to provide final design and construction inspection of the new facilities. The project involved the development of the most cost-effective method of treating and disposing of the city's wastewater over a 20 -year planning period. Under the 201 Plan, Sverdrup performed an infiltration/inflow analysis and assisted in a public participation program. In a creative approach to disposal, Sverdrup routed the wastewater under the Peace River to a reuse pond at a phosphate mine approximately two miles from the plant. EPA encourages such untried recycling measures with additional funding under its Innovative/Alternative guideline. Effluent is contained in the pond and used as process water in the mining operations which require approximately 80 mgd.

Signature Title vice President ParrP1 and Name Of irm ssc. May 22.196422, 1964 Date 1161 Fil �r - Convention Plaza Client: Sverdrup Services: St. Louis, Missouri Convention Plaza Real estate development, Redevelopment Corp master plan, design, property management Sverdrup has been the prime mover in a major effort to redevelop the Convention Plaza area, a 12 -block, 21 -acre urban renewal project just north of the central business district in St. Louis. The project area surrounds a new convention center large enough to handle 90 percent of all U.S. conventions. The development includes low-rise office buildings, major hotels, parks, fountains, and modern parking garages. The convention center is the hub of the develop- ment. Sheraton and Radisson hotels flank it on either side. A suburban -style office park develop- ment creates a relaxed business environment with open space, lawns, and trees. It also pro- vides prime downtown office space at econom- ical rates. The development area achieves an effective contrast with the conventional high- rise buildings of the central business district. The project development has occurred in a remarkably short time, despite a mixed financial climate. The city's four -square -block Cervantes Convention Center and the 17 -story Sheraton Hotel opened in the same year. Both occupy the eastern end of the plaza area. The three- story 143,000 -sq -ft 801 North Eleventh office building and adjacent 460 -car parking garage, both at the west end of the Plaza area, were com- pleted two years later. The 300 -room Radisson Hotel lies just west of the Convention Center. The three-story 63,000 -sq -ft 910 North Eleventh office building is just west of the Radisson, on the north side of the Plaza. Sverdrup designed all the Plaza buildings, and was contractor for the office buildings. It also master planned and provided engineering services for the Conven- tion Center. Additional buildings and parking facilities are planned. One measure of the project's success is the amount of new construction generated in the areas around the Plaza itself. The new St. Patrick's Church flanking the Convention Center on the north serves a new Catholic parish. Also on the Plazas north border and just west of the new At economical rates, the development achieves an open, suburban -style office park in a prime downtown location. 1161 Convention Plaza St. Louis, Missouri The Plaza's success has stimulated other construction in adjacent downtown areas— including a major low-rise apartment and townhouse development and a new Catholic parish. 5130802 church is Columbus Square, a major low-rise apartment and townhouse development that will ultimately have 331 rental apartments and 100 condominiums in suburban -style buildings. Sverdrup designed a 6,300 -sq -ft, one-story package express building on the east edge of the Plaza which is leased to Greyhound. im. mediately to the east, Laclede's Landing has developed into a leading entertainment, office, and shopping area. Sverdrup's development concept for the area is based on a public-private partnership, with the city of St. Louis owning the Convention Center, and private interests developing the surrounding 12 -block area. The Convention Plaza Redevelopment Corpora- tion (CPRC) was formed by Sverdrup and seven other private firms. The other stockholders are Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.; Bank of St. Louis ; Centerre Bank; Mercantile Trust Company N.A.; Southwestern Bell Telephone Company; Stix, Baer & Fuller, a Division of Associated Dry Goods Corporation; and the Union Electric Company. CPRC and the city of St. Louis jointly contracted to develop the area, using a master plan pre- pared by Sverdrup as the development blue- print. The city agreed to build the four -square - block convention center, revise certain streets and utilities, and clear the surrounding 12 -block area; and CPRC agreed to buy and develop the cleared 12 -block area. Sverdrup is the Convention Plaza development manager, and has coordinated the master plan- ning and development with local and regional planning agencies and the investment com- munity. It has, and is, providing market analyses and marketing direction for the individual proj. ects. It also formed independent ownership entities for each building, and generated the financing. Sverdrup manages the completed office buildings and monitors the hotels for the owners. Water Treatment Plant Alton, Illinois Design/build from Sverdrup played a crucial role in the delivery, in less than a year, of a new 5-mgd water treatment plant expansion for the Alton Water Company. With the design/build approach, the project moved from the proposal stage to the beginning of construction in less than two months, a criti- cal factor in its timely completion. Design/build enabled construction to begin while final design was still under way. Working within a limited capital budget, Sverdrup used value engineering techniques to analyze several possible water treatment systems and configurations and select the most cost-effective. The plant addition thus offered the best cost/ benefit results for design, construction, and operation, saving Alton Water Company about 25 percent under the estimated costs for imple- menting its preliminary design concept. The new plant augments an existing treatment system that was becoming inadequate to meet the needs of Alton's service area consisting of 40,000 residents, businesses, and industrial concerns. The five million gallons per day added by the new facility increases the capacity by a third, and will meet the areas needs through the year 2000. The design/build approach enabled Sverdrup to provide a guaranteed cost and a completion schedule at the outset, both vital in a project with an 11 -month timetable. Other project con- straints included a winter construction period and the plant's location in the Mississippi River flood plain. An existing building was expanded to house part of the new equipment, while the remainder was located in a new structure. In the existing structure Sverdrup installed three vertical turbine pumps rated at two, three, and four mgd for raw water intake. The first two provide the plant's normal capacity, while the Client: Sverdrup Services: Alton Water Company Design/build Design/build and value engi- neering techniques brought the project in at 25 percent under preliminary cost estimates. 110 Water Treatment Plant Alton, Illinois A one-third capacit y increase was achieved in about hal/the time normally required for such expansions. 541 0183 four mgd pump provides the system with the additional flexibility needed to operate at a flow rate of up to seven million gallons per day. Sverdrup installed two helical flow reactor clari- fiers, manufactured by Walker Process Corp., for the clarifier system. Detention period for the design process flow is 56 minutes. Forty- two feet in diameter, the cone-shaped clarifiers are installed above -grade with a self-supporting aluminum roof system. ' The mixed -media filter (using the "Greenleaf" control concept) is designed for a filtration rate of 3.75 gpm/sq. ft. with all cells in service. Surface wash duration is one to three minutes, and backwash duration is five to 10 minutes. Transfer pumps rated at 2, 3, and 4 mgd (selected to match the capacity of the raw water pumps) — deliver water from the filtration system to the finished water storage tank. The welded -steel tank, 68 feet in depth, has a design storage capacity of one million gallons. The top of the tank's foundation is located above the level of the flood of record, meeting state regulations. Two new horizontal pumps are a part of the treatment system. The first, rated at 5,000 gpm, is a supplemental backwash pump for use when the storage tank level is insufficient to provide — necessary filter backwash head. The second is a 3 mgd high -service pump which supplements two existing high service pumps and is used for sending treated water to the distribution system. — Numerous chemical feed systems are also part of the treatment plant. They include coagulant polymer, liquid alum, powered activated carbon, liquid caustic, chlorine, fluoridation, bentonite, and potassium permanganate feeds. Each has the appropriate tankage, piping, pumps, con- — trols, and associated equipment. The entire plant was on-line only 11 months after proposal—a period which represents less than ` half the time normally required for such projects. 1161 Regional Sewerage Improvement Program Eugene/Springfield, Oregon The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission was created specifically to develop — a metropolitan sewerage system for the Eugene/ Springfield area, including parts of unincorporated Lane County. Because of the new agency's small staff and lack of construction and operating experience, it chose a project management approach for the sewerage improvement program. After a nationwide selection process, the commission retained a joint venture of Sverdrup with Brown and Caldwell, named BCS, to manage design and construction of the entire project. The existing sewerage system serves 130,000 people, and does not extend to unincorporated areas. The improved system, to be completed in 1985, will serve 277,000 residents in a 100 -sq -mi area. As project manager, BCS has drawn up and is implementing a project management plan .— which includes construction strategies, sched- ules, and cash flow projections. BCS is also providing these construction management services: • administration of design and construction contracts • financial and engineering reviews of designs • bid management • construction surveillance • assistance with environmental impact assess- ments • monthly progress reports. In all, BCS is responsible for the management of seven design, financial, and value engineering consultants; more than 30 construction con- tracts; and 40 prepurchased equipment and material packages. The improved sewerage system will feature a new primary and secondary treatment plant which will reuse some components of an existing plant. The plant will handle 66,000 ppd of biochemical oxygen demand; 77,000 ppd of suspended solids; and flows of 49 mgd in average dry weather, 70 mgd in average wet weather, and 175 mgd in peak wet weather. Major process elements are pretreatment and solids processing, primary clarification, aera- tion, secondary clarification, final treatment and outfall. Digested sludge is treated in off-site facultative storage lagoons, then disposed of Client: Sverdrup Services: Metropolitan Wastewater Project management Management Commission 1161 Regional Sewerage Improvement Program Eugene/Springfield, Oregon 416-1081 off-site, to allow agricultural use of the end -product. Other major elements of the improved system are: • three principal pumping stations • 16 miles of interceptor sewers • three miles of pressure main • a river crossing and tunnels under interstate freeways • a separate cannery -waste disposal system, consisting of a two -cell aerated storage lagoon and a spray irrigation system. In addition, aging sewers in Eugene and Springfield will undergo rehabilitation to reduce infiltration/inflow. During design reviews, BCS identified savings that offset its project management fee. BCS worked with the owner, a design consultant and government agencies to revise the treatment plant design, eliminating tertiary filters and improving the flexibility of the aeration system, which saved $4.5 million. A BCS recommenda- tion to use on-site gravel for backfilling saved $600,000. Additional savings realized through value engineering totalled $10 million. BCS also identified the benefits of a coordinated insurance program for the entire project and assisted the owner in securing passage of state legislation which permitted implementation of this insurance program. Anticipated savings stemming from the insurance program are $2 to 3 million. Sverdrup -developed computer programs are used to control cost and schedule, as well as thousands of project documents. 1W Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Missouri Sverdrup was selected over 19 other consultants in an EPA -funded pilot study to measure the effectiveness and cost of private consultants in improving the performance of municipal wastewater treatment plants that are not meeting discharge requirements. Based on this and similar pilot programs, the EPA can determine the feasibility of municipalities upgrading plant performance through the use of private operations consultants. The study was prompted by reports to Congress indicating that as many as 50 percent of newly constructed municipal treatment facilities are not meeting design standards for quality of effluent being discharged. One of the major reasons cited for this poor record was lack of proper operation and management of the new systems. Client: Sverdrup Services: Missouri Department of Operations and management Natural Resources pilot study 1l0 Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants Missouri 3Bn.07B1 Sverdrup's role in the three-phase study began with providing on-site review of three municipal plants chosen by the Missouri Department of _ Natural Resources and considered to be representative of plants having difficulties meeting effluent requirements. Sverdrup studied the design, staffing, budget, manage- ment attitudes, and operating techniques of each. Phase I concluded with Sverdrup's report — outliningrecommendationsforimprovements to each plant. Each of the three plants was found to have distinctly different problems. Phase II entailed six months of operations — assistance and on-site instruction at one plant, including implementation of Sverdrup's initial recommendations on a priority basis. A member of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will follow up in Phase III with a visit to this plant and, with a Sverdrup operations expert, will assess the effectiveness of the pilot program. Accomplishments and shortcomings will be itemized and analyzed in a final report, with full consideration given to budget constraints, time limitations, and other mitigating factors. — At - Brewery Waste Treatment Plen'- Fulton, New York; Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; Trenton, Ohio In response to increasingly stringent state and federal water pollution standards, industrial waste treatment plants have become more numerous and complex. Sverdrup designed four such facilities for the Miller Brewing Company. These plants, which treat a brewery ._. wastewater high in BOD and suspended solids, discharge to municipal sewage treatment plants and are each comparable in size, function, and BOD load. The four breweries—in Fulton, New York; Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; and Trenton, Ohio—are some of the largest in the industry, designed to brew up to 10 million bbl/yr each. The breweries produce large quantities of high-strength wastewater, and their treatment plants are designed to treat from 5.2 to 6.0 mgd of wastewater, with BOD loads of 65,000 to 9 1,000 lb/day. Each plant discharges effluent of a substantially higher quality than government standards require. Sverdrup assisted in site selection, prepared air and water permit applications, investigated design concepts, prepared drawings and contract documents, and was a member of the project management team that administered contracts and inspected construction. The company fast -tracked all four brewery waste facilities, taking the Eden facility, for example, from preliminary design to actual wastewater treatment in approximately 11 months. In addition, the company prepared operation and maintenance manuals, provided start-up assis- tance, and trained plant personnel to facilitate the smooth functioning of the treatment system. Client: Sverdrup Services: Miller Brewing Company Special nal design,lconstrulctio y and fn management, on-site operations and training, start-up assistance IM Brewery Waste Treatment Plants Fulton, New York; Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; Trenton, Ohio 3010481 Several special studies were included in these wastewater treatment projects. Sverdrup studied energy conservation and sludge disposal methods, conducted laboratory treatability studies, and, as part of a pilot plant study in Fort Worth, Texas, developed process waste loadings. Process components include the following: influent pumping; screening and grit removal to extract large or heavy suspended solids from the waste influent; neutralization and nutrient addition to help waste -consuming microorga- nisms flourish; aeration basins to supply oxygen for microorganism growth; and ' secondary clarification to separate the sludge and supernatant liquor. The Fulton plant also includes equalization to control the rate of flow through the plant, and primary clarification to remove settleable solids before aeration. In .-- addition, all four plants feature polishing lagoons for additional treatment when needed. Sludge is concentrated by centrifugation and dewatered by pressure filtration before being transported to landfills. The treated wastewater is discharged into receiving streams of various sizes. Since the efficient operation of an activated sludge wastewater treatment process requires training and experience, Miller contracted with Sverdrup to provide start-up assistance. At the Eden brewery, for example, Sverdrup engi- neers remained on-site for the first seven months of operation to assist with operator training and plant operation. In addition, the company provides operations assistance to all facilities on an as -needed basis. It D I �a " ;, ", L'I 0 (7) 'Added Savings Through Private Ownership Other savings can result from economies in design, con- struction and operation and add to savings already described Their level vvill vary, of course, with each project. ® Ddselopmenl'lime According to the CPA, the aver- age municipal wastewater construction grant requires nine years to complete. Private financing alternatives make it possible to cut this development time dramatically, and to saau money in the process. ®project 'lime Accelerated construction under pri. vate development can mean reducing the time needed to put a facility on line to months rather than years, and reducing costs as well. Design and Construction Private funding makes possible a project exactly tailored to the needs of the community, often vvith significant savings realized by avoiding unnecessary design standards or procedures mandated by public funding agen- cies. Belief from excessive design and procure- ment regulations can cut costs by 10 to 20 percent. ' Operations and Maintenance A private firm mea- sures its success in earnings—profits which can be achieved by cutting unnecessary costs. A mund- pality or other public body can take advantage of this built-in incentive to improve productivity by giving the burden of administration, operations, and maintenance to a responsible private firm. 'Potential Constraints 1l9nether private development can meet a community's noeds nt?y depend upon constraints beyond the control of either party, Por instance, a slate may limit private ownership of public, utilities or prevent it municipality from entering a long-term contract. In Boom areas, pub- lic regulatory policies discourage private mvnership of utilities by restricting the rate of return on Investment aund Iryadcrsely affbeting depreciation schedules for plant and equipment. Or requirements for competitive pro- curement may attract unqualified firms and force a municipality to select a cheap, inadequate system. All these constraints refect, perhaps, at philosophical resist- ance to private ownership and operation of facilities traditionally within the purview of government. Quality performance by the private. sector will serve to change such attitudes. I n , 'Building a i Successful Partnership C i In any successful partnership, the parties must address each other's needs and concerns. The private develop- ` ment approach requires a rate structure which protects 1a the municipality from a monopolistic interest and the '• private developer from inflationary pressures. The municipality must be confident that it can obtain: ® efficient, dependable performance at required L standards; i ® continuous operation; capacity to meet demands now and in the fore- seeable future; ® rate stability within the limits of inflation. E The development entity must be confident that it can obtain: ® an adequate return sufficient to attract investment; ® a consistent and assured Mw of income; C ® a contract term long enough to justify a substantial investment. Can private funding of public works answer your com. munity's needs? The successful application of this n approach depends upon a wide range of factors that must be assessed for each situation. Where applicable, private development offers the potential to improve sen, ices, reduce costs, shift borrowing posvor to other ne'e'ded projects, and free city personnel from manage- ment concerns. i 0 The Problem Finding the Funds 7b Build and Maintain Municipal Water and Wastewater Systems Many of our cities have come face to race with the diffi- culty of maintaining basic public services like water sup- ply or wastewater management and treatment at an ad- e(It1111C level. III many areas, the problem Is a desperate one. But it's not an engineering problem. No technical barrier keeps us from building facilities to serve us well into the the tyfirst century. It's a financial problem that keeps us from meeting the challenge. How much money will it take? ti its 1982 Needs Survey, the Rmdronmental Protection Agency estimated the cost of meeting the goals set in the 1981 amendments to the Clean Water Act. The amount needed for municipal vaste- mater treatnent by theyear 2000:$92.6 billion. The widely - publicized study 'America in Ruins" forecasts that the nations 756 major urban areas will need to spend S75 billion to $116 billion to maintain their water systems over ilia next 20 years. Yet total spending by all levels of government for public works is declining. When adjusted for inflation, this amount dropped 25 percent in a decade, from S30.6 billion in 1972 to $22.9 billion in 1981 11972 dollars). And federal assistance to cities and counties is plum- meting, with no relief in sight. \A Promising Solution Using Private Enterprise 7b Do Public Work Might Be the Best Answer With careful planning based upon realistic goals, public agencies can benefit through private development of water and %astevvoter facilities. This is not a new concept. A number of private companies now provide drinking water for cities. others dispose of much of the nation's solid waste, often under municipal contract. A munici- pality can often realize financial benefits ofvarious kinds by selecting a private firm to protide, maintain, and operate public works. Such benefits are possible because certain cost all(] schedule advantages lief available to the public sector are available to private entities. Among these are: ® lax incentives not accessible to a public body; ' streamlined approaches to facility design anti to equipment procurement which are unavailable to municipalities receiving federal funds; i ® time savings—often counted in years and ahvays translatable to dollars—realized by private financ- ing alternatives to government funding, and by accelerated construction methods available to pri- walL` CI1111105; I ® cost-effective management practices applied by private firms. Private enterprise cannot meet all of the nation's water and wastewater treatment needs. But many projects— ! large and small—do recommend themselves to private development and operation. And at rates competitive with the charges all user fees levied by public agencies. RM I 'Alternatives to iraditional Public Works Funding 'n•aditionally a municipality builds, owns and operates its own water plant or wastewater treatment plant. Major funding comes from federal grants supplemented by tax-exempt bonds and municipal tax receipts. in re- cent years, however, we have seen a sharply reduced level of direct and indirect federal aid for such projects. And al the same time local governments are experienc- ing greater difficulties in raising additional revenues through user fees or properly taxes. There are at least three alternatives, however, for communities that are un- able to generate public support for new taxes or have stretched their borrowing power to its limits: Normal Leasing The city escapes long-term capital debt by renting a facility from a private developer. Mase -Purchase Rent payments over a fixed period eventually give the city title to a facility built by a private developer. QMservice Contracting Under contract, a developer provides and operates a facility. This eliminates the need for capital funding and shifts the administra- tive burden of operations as well. aIncentives Provided by The Tax System Since a city pays no federal taxes, it cannot nmke use of the tax incentives Congress has offered to taxpayers. The city can benefit from the tax system, however, when it works with private firms. As these benefits create jobs or reduce the cost of doing business, public bodies experience increased revenue or lower charges for products and services. Three tax benefits in particular can lower the costs of municipal services when private companies provide them. Savings Through Industrial Development Bonds A stale or local agency can issue revenue bonds to en- courage private developers to build nmv facilities. WNW or mortgage paymwnls by'the businesses retire the bonds. The results a low-cost mortgage for the private firm and increased tax revenue for the public sector. Although the use of industrial revenue bonds has been restricted of late, such financing can still apply to a "public project:' some public projects that can he financed with tax- exempt bonds include selvage or solid waste facilities, water treatment plants, airports, :red industrial parks. Savings Through Depreciation A taxpayer—unlike a municipality—can claim a deduc- tion against his income for wear and tear on property he owns. The resulting savings lower a firms operating costs, contribute to its profltebflfly, and allow it to reduce charges to its clients. The question of ownership is crucial, and for tax purposes is complicated by a number of issues like who holds title, who guarantees the mortgage, and what options exist on the property. Under current lax law, the "true" owner of a facility can depreciate plant and equipment over a three to 15 -year period. Savings Through Investment Tax Credit Certain depreciable property used in a taxpayer's trade or business can earn a first-year tax credit of 10% of its cost. This credit rewards private enterprise for ex- pansion or for replacing equipment and, as a result, stimulating the economy. There are important excep- tions. Property rented or leased to a government or tax exempt entity is not eligible for the credit. on the other hand, property used by a taxpayer to provide services to a government or tax exempt entity is eligible for the credit. The investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a one-time benefit in the lax year the facility is placed in service. It is a direct credit against an owner's tax—that is, a bottom-line dollar for -dollar reduction in taxes. Using the credit to reduce the overall cost of a new facility can provide a significant savings to the taxpayer which cam in turn reduce charges to the municipality. ' Why Does It Work?

Mr. M. G. Buckley, Sr., P.E. - I - 1161 i 2. APPROACH TO THE PROJECT - In developing Harry Hendon and Associates' approach to the Iowa City Project, we have reviewed in detail the V & K "201 Facilities Plan", the Arthur Young "Privatization Feasibility Study", the V & K/Dague "Proposal for Phased Development of Wastewater Collection and Treatment", the V & K design documents for the proposed new plant, and other documents; we have discussed the project with the Public Works Director and other staff personnel; and we have visited the existing wastewater treatment facility. The basic purpose of the proposed study is to develop an alter- native for wastewater collection and treatment for Iowa City which is financially feasible, technically sound and politically implementable. Numerous studies, designs and proposals have been presented to the City Council over the last several years. These studies have been conducted under changing technical and financial assumptions. The City Council needs a detailed study to evaluate the background facts and assumptions of all previous proposals, developed with today's funding and engineering method- ologies in mind. i Several decisions which have been made in the past significantly �! affect the capital, operation and financing cost of the proposed alter- natives. These decisions which must be reevaluated at the initial step of the project include: 1. To continue the practice of collecting and treating flows ifrom footing drains. Footing drain tiles utilize 11% of I future treatment facility average design flow, 48% of the treatment facility hydraulic capacity, and 69% of the inter- ceptor and pumping station capacities. 2. To continue the maximum utilization of the existing plant. — The existing plant was constructed in the 1930's and even though it has been upgraded twice, much of the concrete tankage, the administration and maintenance building, and other structures are fifty years old. The latest proposals call for spending p g $900,000 for repairs to the existing plant to allow a maximum of fifteen years further use. i 3. Early selection of treatment alternative. The proposed new plant has been designed for the activated sludge process. Newer proposals have discussed oxidation towers (trickling — filters). Roth processes have advantages and disadvantages, but there has been no direct comparison of total present worth cost including construction, operation and financing costs. 4. The method of financing must be determined based on a structured selection process and a specific project scope of work. The reported savings of the "privatization" system cannot be defined until an actual contract is negotiated and all costs are identified. Our recent experience has shown -2- 110 an actual savings of approximately ten percent not including required "buy back" provisions at the end of the contract term. - Harry Hendon aad Associates' proposed scope of services will allow an independent, timely and detailed evaluation of the facts leading to the above decisions, identify proposed alternatives to these decisions, and provide a comprehensive set of documentation upon which the staff and the City Council can make a knowledgeable decision as to the proper course — of action. In response to question # 7, the proposed study should contain _ the following steps: Step 1: Evaluate Summarize and Reconfirm Design Flows and Loads — The original evaluation of footing drain removal was based on providing a new drain pump and separate collection - for every structure in the collection system. Many of the existing structures could be removed from the system at a much lower cost. A selective sampling of structures would be evaluated to determine the cost effectiveness of continued collection and treatment of footing drain flow. —, The V & E and the IDEQ flows will be evaluated to assure iadequate capacity at minimal cost. J _ Step 2: Value Engineering Study of Proposed Alternatives All existing proposals for construction phasing and collection and treatment alternatives will be evaluated in a structured method to identify the most cost effective and -1 implementable alternative. This evaluation will be based upon lowest present worth cost and will include operational, J financing, construction and engineering costs. City personnel will be involved in the value engineering study on a continuous basis to assure an adequate product at the study conclusion. Step 3: Definition of the Proposed Plan J A detailed preliminary design of the proposed project will be developed to allow detailed construction and operational cost estimating. This detailed preliminary design will include interceptor line sizing and location; existing treatment facility upgrading equipment and struc- ture requirements; new facility equipment selection, struc- ture sizing and horsepower requirements; and identified operational manpower. Step 4: Privatization Proposals Proposals for private funding, construction and operation of the selected alternative will be solicited and evaluated by a committee of the City Council with assistance from engineering and financial consultants. The proposals will be based on the proposed plan identified above. The City will not be committed to accept any proposal, but will -3- zJ be able to evaluate a fixed price proposal against con- ventional municipal bonds. Step " Selection of Final Plan A detailed presentation will be made to the City Council. This presentation will include a privatization alternative and a municipal funding proposal for all phases of construction. Harry Hendon and Associates has not been involved in any phase of the design activities. We are not a privatization firm with a "turn key" approach to sell. We do not anticipate doing the detailed design of the selected alternative. Our proposal is merely to conduct an independent, professional evaluation of the identified alternatives plus other obvious alternatives which have not been identified; provide a structured method- ology for evaluating these alternatives; and to provide enough detailed hard data such that the City Council can make an educated decision with regard to future waste water services for Iowa City. In response to question #11, a preliminary time schedule for the above tasks is included for your review. This schedule will be refined and much of the background information collected prior to actual contract execution such that productive evaluations could start immediately. -4- i I i {j HARRY HENDON AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

However, a piece of equip- ment, treatment process, or financial plan must have worked well under actual operating conditions prior to being utilized in Harry Hendon and Associates projects. We have numerous plants designed and constructed under innovative/ alternative financing from EPA. We were the first to design the Carrousel System in Tennessee (Smyrna, Tennessee); the Schreiber System in Alabama (Tuskegee, Alabama); and the mixed media high rate water filtration process east of the Mississippi River (Columbia, Tennessee). We are one of the first firms in the country to actively persue private financing of municipal wastewater treatment in the United States (Auburn, Alabama). Our principal staff members have traveled extensively throughout the U.S. Canada, Europe and South Africa to evaluate new technologies. Two current Harry Hendon and Associates projects summarize our abilities with reference to innovative ideas: Asheville, N.C. and Auburn, AL. J a. Asheville, N.C. (Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County) JThe project involves the modification and expansion of an existing 25 MGD wastewater treatment plant (which we designed in 1965) to an advanced treatment 40 MGD plant with complete sludge disposal. After full scale pilot testing of two alternative treatment processes, the expansion was designed for "micro screens" and "rotating biological contactors". The existing plant will be completely utilized and no additional concrete basins will be required. The existing primary and secondary clarifiers and the existing aeration basins will be equipped with "rotating biological contactors (RBC)." "Micro screens" will be added for primary and final clarification. Sludge will be disposed of by incinera- tion, composting or codisposal with domestic solid waste through incinera- tion with energy recovery. The incineration of sludge with solid waste has the highest first cost but will generate revenues of over $4,000,000 per year from the sale of electric power and the collection of solid waste disposal fees. As a result, its equivalent annual cost is less than half of any of the other sludge disposal alternatives. Immediately adjacent to the Asheville wastewater treatment plant site lies the French Broad River and the abandoned Craggy Dam. We are currently designing modifications to this low head dam to install hydroelectric turbines for the production of electricity. The $6,000,000 project will generate enough electricity to pay for itself plus interest and operating cost in just over five years. b. Auburn. Alabama This project involves two wastewater treatment facilities and approximately 24 miles of interceptor sewers. Upon completion of design, the City of Auburn was informed by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management that no federal funds could be provided for this project within the next few years due to a low "priority ranking". In November, 1984, the City of Auburn requested proposals for private financing, construction and operation of the project. Harry Hendon and Associates assisted the City in developing the Request for Proposals, in setting up the selection process, and in reviewing the proposals. At the current time one firm has been selected for negotiation of a service agreement. Until execution of this service agreement, the City has not committed to "privatization" of the project, but obtains firm pricing to enable a direct comparison of cost with conventional municipal financing. It is interesting to note, that on this project, the actual savings of privatization amounts to approximately 10 percent over the cost of conventional financing, not including the cost of "buy-back" at the end of the project. After inclusion of a sinking fund to amoritize the "buy-back" provision, the user cost of privatization approximately equals the user cost of conventional financing. This detailed evaluation of "innovative" financing options has allowed the City to obtain specific committmeats of cost from private firms without committing to a long term ownership and operations contract. We feel that this project closely parallels the Iowa City project and we would be pleased to discuss the similiarities and how they relate to our proposed scope of services at your convenience. - 12 - I 1 HARRY HENDON and ASSOCIATES, Inc.'

COMPANY HISTORY For over three decades, Harry Hendon and As- sociates and their predecessor firms have con- ducted a general civil, sanitary and municipal en- gineering practice throughout the southeastern United Stales. The firm of Polk, Powell and Hendon was orga- nized in 1943. Two of the partners, Armour C. Polk and Hugh A. Powell, had been associated in many of the more important hydroelectric and other public utility projects in the Southeast from World War I to 1935. Harry H. Hendon, the third partner, had spent his professional career, prin- cipally, in sanitary engineering. In 1939, these men were associated on the de- sign and construction of the Birmingham Indus- trial Water Supply. And, during World War II, they were responsible for the design and construction of the Anniston Ordnance Depot for the Ord- nance Department and Camp Sibert for the U.S. Army's Chemical Warfare Service. These associ- ations led to their partnership. 51112 ENOINEER9 Colonel Polk died in March 1946, and the busi- ness continued under its original name. Colonel Polk, at the time of his death, was the first and only chairman of the Alabama State Board of Registration for Engineers and Land Surveyors, a member and past president of the National Asso- ciation of State Boards of Engineering Exam- iners, vice president and former director, Ameri- can Society of Civil Engineers, and active in many other technical societies. In August 1956, upon Mr. Powell's retirement, Polk, Powell and Hendon was reorganized as Harry Hendon and Associates. Two of the ranking members of the engineering staff, Lewis E. Hoff- mann and Afton B. Jowers, became partners in the reorganized firm, and other outstanding en- gineers became associated with the organization. Since Mr. Hendon's death in February 1973, the firm has continued unchanged under the leader- ship of the remaining partners. 1W IN [ACII YIN AT The tint Natiwl Bar, of MonlRmlery NyiiU}NIRV.

By Bob Paul With research and development in the United States at an almost standstill in the water treatment en- gineering field, a European import may take over in small to medium urban areas in design and con- struction of sewage treatment plants. While one such "Carrousel" treatment plant has been finished Carrousel treatment plants work in smaller urban areas in the Southeast, several others are either ready to bid or are on the drawing boards of consulting en- gineers like Hendon and As- sociates of Birmingham. Also out front in the construc- tion procedures of the imported idea is Birmingham's Brasfield and Gorrie. The firm built the first in the area in Kentucky, now has another under construction near Nashville. Tenn., and soon will bid others. The Nashville plant —actually in suburban Smyrna—seems to fit the ideal site anti conditions for the Carrousel system. The small urban Population is right, the relatively flat terrain is ideal; it is even tied into usable portions of an existing plant. It also had to be greatly ex- panded even before it Was finished due to an industry location. But most of all, the EIIA requirements were about as "rigid as you will ever find," says Hendonand Associates, Consulting Engineers. 'file Environmental Protection Agency and state health depart- nuent specifications of discharge into nearby streams are the deter - miming faciors of how much ireat- ment capabilities must be provided Reinforcing steel is set in wall areas for the plant's oxidation ditch. Crane filts steel and pours concrete for the project. First section of oxidation ditch is nearing completion. At left can be seen a second unit under con- struction. DIXIE CONTRACTOR, December 5, 1980 1/6( for in plant design and n- struction. Hendon points out that the sys- tem that meets a minimal require- ment would be a lagoon system which is used widely in smallercity, corporate and industrial situations. As the requirements get more stringent, a trickle -filter system would be recommended. Here a rotary distributor distributes the sewage over a bed of rocks support- ing a specially -treated natural growth. But the more dependable re- quirements for concentrated growth area require some "acti- vated sludge control system." "As we get more stringent," says Hen- don, "we are looking at a two-stage activated sludge. However, some counties that have more demand- ing requirements must even move into a filtering system." The Smyrna location and dis- charge requirements were so "exacting, they eliminated most of the systems that wer6 available to us." The city was faced with an ex- tensive and expensive two-stage system or an extended aeration sys- tem, preferably an oxidation ditch. It is the Carrousel that offers the best features of the oxidation ditch and which Hendon recommended and Bras Field and Gorrie is build- ing. One advantage of the basic de- sign is that selvage has a dilution factor of 100 to 1 as it enters the ditch. This is due to the large vol- ume of liquid moving at all times in the ditch itself. This is a critical advantage with industrial wastes moving through the system. "Once they are diluted 100 to 1 in the oxidation ditch they offer little serious problems to the treatment facility as more concen- trated amounts would in some treatment systems." Not only is the Carrousel design highly eff tient, but offers consid- erable savings in construction. One entire aeration basin is eliminated from conventional designs along with a set of clarifiers. "Instead of having four tis -ft. clarifiers in a two-stage system, we have two," says the engineer. Only a single set of sludge pumps is being require([ and aeration equipment is placed Dozer moves broken rock in earlysite preparation excavation. This phase of construction was contracted to Jones Brothers Construction Co. in a single basin. flexibility of oper• ation is also a major factor in that the horsepower of the equipment can be varied as required in the basin. The term Con -ousel is derived from the core of the system, the oxidation flitch. It is a concrete ditch that "has no end or begin- ning" and sewage is forced around the concrete structure by equip- ment near the entrance point. If tests could be made of sewage in the "ditch," according to the en- gineer, those tests would reveal ma- terial that had just entered for treatment. They also would reveal material that had entered on the first day of operation. Only a small amount leaves as a small portion enters. And the large volume re- maining in the concrete structure gives the all important dilution factor. Continued on page 11 Form work for slab in the early stage of construction. Early site preparation required some blasting of limestone. DIXIE CONTRACTOR, December 5, 1980 110 Overall look at site as slab constructionbegark Cat loaders load out excess rock in construction for new type treat. mentolantinTennessee. Brasfield and Gorrie has found that construction of the plant itself is primarily a concrete pouring op- eration. It is high production in that the walls in the basin are primarily the same wall poured over and over again and require only a minimum of form config- urations. These forms can be used over and over again, not only on walls in the same ditch, but on addi- tional plants of the same design. Such benefits have also cut the cost considerably in this type con- struction. Walls at Smyrna are some 10-11 ft, in height, all solidly reinforced. Although the Carrousel may imply circular motion, the ditch is an oval-shaped affair and utilized most of the excavated area of the site itself. Even so, the site is unusu- ally compact for its production capabilities. The Carrousel reduced the number of buildings required in a two-stage plant handling the same volume of waste. "There is very little spray water required in the Carrousel compared to the conven- tional two-stage; therefore, mini- mal provisions for it had to be made. The only point spray water Will be required is at the point where material is leaving the aerator. In a conventional systenl spray nozzles must be located around the entire basin;' says DIXIE CONTRACTOR, December 5, Forms are set In place around reinforcing for portion of the oxidation ditch.

Costs were some 20 percent less for the imported plant design, including much less operating costs from near to near. llrasfield and Gorrie moved to the site in the spring of 1980 with 1980 plant construction beginning in June.

C. Vandiver, Assistant Super - intendant J. B. Howard, and Chemist O. R. Sueing. The plant basically consists of grit and screenings removal, primary clarification, . j activated sludge basins, secondary clarification, chlorination, and aerobic dieestion of waste activated sludge. Primary sludge and waste activated are dewatered on belt filters and incinerated. The plant was designed by Harry Hendon and Associates of Birmingham, Alabama. The project was constructed under two contracts. Robert E. McKee, Inc. con- structed the activated sludge plant and Manhattan Construction Company con. structed the sludge handling facility. I in addition to adequate treatment, there were two primary objectives involved in the design of this facility; capital costs and time. Capital costs for treatment plants in the Atlanta area have been as much as $1.00 per gallon of design capacity in recent years. The total capital cost for the Utoy Plant, including sludge dewatering and incineration. was less than 350 per gallon. Time was also of unique importance because of a ban on sewer connections im- posed by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The contract between the City of Atlanta and Harry Hendon and Associates provided that the engineer was to submit a complete design analysis three months after notification to proceed, and within eight months thereafter the engineer was to provide complete plans and specifications. Notification to proceed with the design analysis was given on June 12. 1970. The engineer was later requested by the city to study certain additional aspects of the plant design, and a ninety day extension was granted. The design analysis was submitted December 15, 1970. The ban on sewer connections was removed for a period of six months by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Harry Hendon and Associates were directed to proceed with plans and specifica- tions on January 4. 1971, with the request that every attempt be made to complete the plans and specifications within six months, instead of the contract time of eight months. The Georgia Bnvironmenml Protection Division on June 24. 1971. reimposed the ban on sewer connections. The plans and specifications were submitted July 15, 1971, at which time the ban was removed. The plans and specifications had been completed in six months and eleven days.

CLEAN WASTEWATER FOR FUTURE GROWTH The turning point came with the Ten- nessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the completion of Guntersville Dam seven miles downstream from the town in 1939. Almost overnight the bottom farm- land around the town vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of shimmering blue- green water. From the air, Guntersville suddenly looked like a giant thumb pok- ing into an ocean. Guntersville Dam is the fifth in a chain of TVA dams that creates a continuous 650 -mile naviga- tion channel in the Tennessee River. The impoundment of the lake made Guntersville into the southernmost port MARINAS not the shorelines throughout the Guntersville area.

First, petroleum products and then coal moved through the port. Today, the area's extensive poultry and livestock industry is made possible, to a large extent, by low-cost barging of midwestern grain to Gunters- ville. In addition to powergcnemtion, Gunters- ville Dam also helps to regulate the pas- sage of flood waters safely down the Tennessee River. Since the construction of the dam and following World War II. Guntersville's growth continued at an expanding pace with the city's corporate limits being extended west to take in the entire peninsula and also to take in large areas across the Rig Springs Creek section of the lake, this latter area beingjoined to the peninsula by the Alabama Highway 217 causeway in the north and the U.S. Hignway 431 causeway in the south. To meet the growing demand for ror- ious utility services, the Waterworks and Sewer Board of the City of Gun- tersville is currently completing a S17 million wastewater improvement pro- gram which will extend these services into practically all areas of the city.

Fast Joint pipe being lowered to the lake bottom for final assembly by rovers wastewater system, including the treat- ment plant, is now completed and in operation. AMERICAN Ductile Iron Lok -Fast Join[' pipe was specified forthe 11,860 - foot gravity river outfall. In installing this underwater main from the new plant into the main channel of the Ten- nessee River, sections of pipe comprised of two or three lengths of Lok -Fast Joint pipe each, were first made up on land and then transferred to a construc- tion barge. As the installation progressed. sections of pipe supported by a strong back were lowered from the barge into the underwater trench to be joined to previouslyasscmbled sections by divers. In assembling the underwater joints. two extra long bolts through the pipe flange and gland — 1800 apart — were tightened to pull Ute Lok -Fast Jointst together before holting the gland to the flange with regular bolts using a torque wrench. Theentire length of'underwater trench — in some locations as deep as 24' — was carefully dredged to grade, and the pipe were installed in the trench on a bed of crushed stone. Once the pipe was installed, special concrete weights were After the river outfall piping was installed and partially backfilled, specially designed weights were placed over each length of pipe. Some 24 2 tons of AMERICAN fillings and specials were installed in the new a 5 mgd wastewater treatment plant set over each pipe — 10.000 -Ib weights for the 36" pipe ... 7.500 -Ib. weights for the 30" pipe. The concrete weights were so shaped that they rested on the trench bedding without actually touching the pipe. Before completing the backfilling. the outfall was hydrostatically tested at 75 psi and carefully inspected by divers. Construction of the AMERICAN Duc- tile Iron Class 50 Fastite Joints force mains progressed rapidly with a variety of installation conditions being encoun- tered. including both rocky and wet trenches. These conditions presented no problems for the rugged AMERICAN GUNTERSVILLE INDUSTRY,s diversified. includ- ing the manufacturing of such products as apparel. animal feeds, processed poultry. rubber products, precision tools. lumber products plus colon and synthetic yarns. National grain feed companies act as markets for locally produced farm products that amount to over S50 million annually for farm products in Marshall County. pipe: the Fastite Joint can be installed underwater if necessary, with the utili- zation of Fastite Underwater Lubricant. There were also a number of roadway. railroad and small creek crossings. Where one of the ASM ER [CAN force mains crossed over the lake on the U.S. Highway 431 causeway, AMERICAN Ductile Iron Lok -Fast Joint pipe was suspended from a bridge: where another was installed on the Alabama Highway 227 causeway. AMERICAN Ductile Iron Flcs-Luk Joint's pipe was installed beneath the waterway that permits barges and pleasure craft to pass through the causeway. The new wastewater system is designed to meet the needs of the City of Gun- tersville through the year 2000. The initial users of the system include ap- proximately 2.900 residential and 95 commercial customers and one major industry, this being the Gold Kist Poul- try Company that is presently utilizing .86 mgd of the new plant's capacity. Thus. Guntersville now has a healthy wastewater environment where growth and development can take place for many years to come.

Brown and Caldwell in association with MMS Consultants, Inc., (MMS) has assembled a highly qualified project team capable of providing the engineering services you are seeking. Our team provides the extensive technical qualifications of Brown and Caldwell combined with MMS's detailed understanding of Iowa City's needs. Brown and Caldwell has over 35 years of experience in planning, design, and construction of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. During that time, we have become a leader in process development and innovation. In addition to process engineers, our staff includes engineers and technicians in all disciplines necessary to implement a complex project from planning through to start-up and operation. Design engineers from MMS will augment the project teams through their intimate knowledge of existing facilities and local conditions. We recognize the need to effectively utilize existing treatment facilities. our proposal provides a brief discussion of your concerns, followed by an approach to the solution of several of these issues. The proposal identifies and describes preliminary concepts for achieving cost savings while meeting the City's needs. The alternatives span a range of methods from simple upgrading of the existing trickling filter plant to construction of a new plant. Among the alternatives evaluated will be the trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process developed by Brown and Caldwell. In addition, other processes will be evaluated to ensure the City of the least -cost solution to their wastewater problems. PO BOX 0045 WALNUT OBEEK.

L UW3 I Mr. Neil Berlin May 23, 1984 Page two our proposal indicates innovative and economical technical solutions to the City's problems. Recognizing the potential funding limitations, it also suggests ways in which the project can be financed by private capital. Our approach to privatization is to provide a full-service capability (planning, design, construction, financing, ownership, and operation) under a single responsibility. The cost to the city will be less than with conventional financing methods, while still providing financial incentives to the investors. We believe privatization presents an attractive financing alternative should other funds be unavailable. We appreciate being considered for this interesting and challenging project. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss our approach in more detail with you. Very truly yours, BROWN AND CALDWEELL Garr M.

MMS will be responsible to Brown and Caldwell, also subconsultants, for developing or acquiring data that may be needed and for analyzing the hydraulic and routing constraints to the southeast and outfall interceptor systems. A principal of MMS will be on the technical advisory group to ensure all local issues are properly addressed. For the privatization study, we have initiated contact with several reputable, nationally recognized financial institutions. Among these are E. F. Hutton & Company, Inc.; Boettcher and Company; and Security Pacific Bank Corporation. All have expressed interest in arranging financing for the facilities. Final determination as to the firm used will be made when, and if, required by the project needs. HAS THIS TEAM WORKED TOGETHER IN THE PAST? Brown and Caldwell and MMS have not worked together previously. However, the individuals we have assembled for our team have worked together on previous assignments.

PROJECT APPROACH AND KEY STAFF RESPONSIBILITY The City is faced with a major wastewater system expansion that will tax its financial resources. Even with full federal and state grant support, the cost to the City will be substantial.

However, some serious concerns remain, given the large project cost and the elimination of grant support. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate all previous work and to explore ways in which the City can meet it's obligations at less cost. _. The current recommended plan calls for expenditure of $58 million, $38 million of which is for a new wastewater treatment plant. It is evident that the greatest potential for cost savings is the wastewater treatment plant. Therefore, our focus will be on that element of the project. However, all system elements must be evaluated together. For example, previous studies indicate that significant savings would be realized in interceptor costs for an alternative that has the wastewater treatment plant at a new site. For this and other reasons, previous recommendations have been made to abandon the existing plant and construct a new plant on a new downstream site. In spite of this and due to the significant potential savings possible from upgrading the existing plant, we will first evaluate the impacts of retaining the present site. This will involve consideration of all pertinent factors including such things as extent of repair required, ability to adapt existing j units, room for further expansion, environmental impacts of adjacent land use, and effect on interceptor routing. We have reviewed the reports referenced in your Request for Proposals and have toured the existing and proposed treatment plant sites. In addition, we have briefly reviewed some of the operating data from the treatment plant. Based on the insights gained from this work, we are confident that the existing plant could be upgraded to meet the NPDES permit requirements (30 milligrams per liter (mg/1) biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids). We have successfully demonstrated an ability to do similar upgrades at Corvallis, Oregon; Tolleson, Arizona; Garland, Texas; and Salt Lake County, Utah; by converting the trickling filter process into the trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process. The TF/SC process, as would be applied at the City, has the potential of reducing treatment plant construction costs at the new site by 20 to 40 percent. The process was developed by Brown and Caldwell and is a modification of the basic trickling filter process. It involves addition of an aerated, short -detention -time contact tank between the trickling filters and the secondary clarifiers. Underflow, returned to the clarifiers, is mixed with the trickling filter effluent to achieve additional BOD removal and enhance flocculation. Some of our TF/SC plants are typically producing effluents less than 10 mg/1 in BOD and suspended solids. We are excited at the possibility of applying this technology to your plant. Although we cannot state with certainty that it will prove to be feasible, several similar projects recently BROWN AND CALDWELL ID CONSULTING ENGINEE14S -. undertaken by Brown and Caldwell have been successful. We will evaluate other alternatives as well, including the ones previously reviewed. From the detailed study of alternative plans, we will select the one that combines lowest cost with optimum achievement of the City's objectives. The next step will be to evaluate financing options. As part of the facilities planning activity, capital cost estimates will be developed for project alternatives. These capital cost estimates and estimated operating and maintenance costs will be used for the financial analyses. Variables include the incremental fee for treatment of additional wastewater and the type of financing or combination of financial instruments which are possible for this project. Project cost savings may be possible by using the so called "privatization" approach. The Arthur Young study has indicated that privatization is advantageous and could result in a 15 to 20 percent savings in the user charge. This may be a correct assessment, but we believe an independent detailed examination is needed and we propose to make this a major task of our study. Dr. Ronald Doctor of Brown and Caldwell, a nationally recognized expert in privatization, will head our team in the detailed economic and institutional studies. One aspect of such a study is a detailed 'j cash-flow analysis such as shown on the example in Figure 1-1. To accomplish the approach which we have briefly outlined above,, we have assembled a highly qualified project team. The principal -in -charge will be Mr. Garr M. Jones. His responsibility 1 will include providing guidance to the project team, serving on the technical review board, providing companywide resources to the project tream, and providing senior management -level access to the City. The project manager, Mr. Michael Donovan will be responsible for all day-to-day direction and communication with the City. _. Project advisors will assist the project manager by a formal review process. They include Dr. Denny S. Parker, coinventor of the TF/SC process; Mr. Warren R. Uhte, nationally recognized expert in wastewater solids; and Dr. Ronald D. Doctor, expert in project finance. To provide input from the operations viewpoint, Mr. James Chitty of the Operating Services Department will be a project advisor. Project engineers will be assigned specific tasks as described herein. Messrs. James Bartlett and Christopher Stephan will be responsible for detailed evaluation of the treatment processes and hydraulics, respectively. Assisting Mr. Bartlett in the evaluation of the existing facilities will be Ms. Marguerita Stone. Ms. Stone will be responsible for evaluating the mechanical modifications to the existing facilities. Mr. Schnittzer, Mr. Uhte, and Dr. Parker will comprise the technical review team. This team's responsibility will be to insure that the evaluation incorporates the best technical and local understanding in the recommended plan.

PROJECTS INVOLVING PRIVATIZATION The Requests for Proposals asks for a list of completed wastewater or other municipal projects involving privatization developed by team members during the previous 5 years. To our knowledge, only one -real municipal wastewater privatization project has been started --Chandler, Arizona. Privatization has also been used in recent years in the resource recovery field and we have been invovled, as the service recepient's advisor, on such projects at San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Marion County, Oregon. We have conducted numerous feasibility studies of privatization and have made associations with major financial institutions for project implementation.

Project Background - Iowa City (City) desires to reevaluate its current plans for improving its sewerage facilities. At issue is the immediate need to provide interceptor capacity in the southeastern portion of the City and to replace or rehabilitate the existing treatment capacity. The existing plan, revised in 1979, anticipated federal and state funding assistance. Since then, the City has determined that funding may not be available. ! Most of the existing facilities were constructed in 1935. These units have served the City well but are showing severe deterioration in places. Additional units were installed in 1965 and remain in good condition. At present, the existing plant is unable to meet the current discharge ,requirements, primarily because the sedimentation units are severely overloaded. To bring - the plant up to capacity, more sedimentation capacity would have to be installed. While the older units could be rehabilitated to provide years of additional use, the existing plant site is limited for. future growth. The site is in close proximity to commercial and residential areas, making it a potential odor nuisance. Compounding the treatment plant siting issue is the surcharging problem in the southeastern portion of the City. Several interceptor routes have been evaluated and a route and size selected. The interceptor arrangement which appears to best solve the long-term needs of that area, will be cheaper to build if it terminates at a proposed treatment plant site south of the City. Otherwise, additional piping and possibly pumping will be necessary. Thus, construction of a plant at the new site has significant construction and operating cost trade-offs associated with it. Except for a proposed interceptor serving the area to the north and west of the airport, other interceptor construction will not be influenced by the final site selection. Two reports to the City in 1983 developed and recommended a four -stage plan. These reports recommended that the City begin construction of a portion of the ultimate treatment plant at UROkNN AND CALDWELL W CONSULTING ENGINEERS - 2-2 proposed report recommendedodifferentyprocessesefromtthesoriginalep The plan. The four-phase plan offers savings in the overall construction cost, an extended construction period, and continued use of the existing treatment plant. The longer construction period would the allow the City more time to acquire construction funds and would allow the City to derive the benefits of continued use of the existing plant. The City commissioned a privatization feasibility study late in 1983 which indicated -that privatization was feasible. The report _ demonstrated how private ownership, rather than public ownership, could result in a lower bimonthly sewer service charge. was predicated on the costs shown in the 1983 report nd assumed The report s a that full operation and maintenance responsibility of the system would be taken over by the financing party. Relevant EXDeri.ence Since 1997, Brown and Caldwell has been an innovative leader in wastewater engineering. During that period, Brown and Caldwell has designed more than 100 wastewater treatment plants or plant enlargements in the United States and abroad. Included in these -. are major regional treatment plants or entire sewerage systems for the cities of San Diego, California; Seattle, Washington; Vancouver, British Columbia; Sacramento, California; Auckland, New Zealand; and Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. been a leader in the deveThe firm has lopment and application of advanced wastewater treatment processes including lime in primary treatment, nitrification -denitrification, ammonia stripping, breakpoint chlorination, pure oxygen activated sludge, and algae removal from OX ponds. These process concepts have been advanced well beyond the pilot plant stage and are currently being incorporated into Brown and Caldwell -designed treatment facilities. Brown and Caldwell pioneered the development of the trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process in 1979. Since then, it has been used in the designs of more than ten plants nationwide. Five Of these plants are in operation and fully meeting their design effluent requirements. The best examples of these are the plants at Corvallis, Oregon, and Tolleson, Arizona; and Salt Lake County, Utah. These are identified in the Brown and Caldwell tabulation of Construction Projects, Table 1-2a and are described below. Corvallis, Ore on. The Corvallis plant was designed to treat 9.7 million gallons per day (mgd) of moderate -strength waste to an effluent quality of 10 -milligrams -per -liter (mg/1) of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS) during the summer months with less restrictive requirements during the winter. As noted in Table 1-2a, this was a prototype plant in that it was designed and constructed with activated sludge process following " OPJN AND CALDWELL ID CONSULTING ENGWELHS 2-3 the existing trickling filters. Shortly after the plant was placed _ in operation, it was discovered that the plant could meet its requirements without using the activated sludge process. Through subsequent research by our staff, the process design was refined and developed. That research resulted in two of our principals - being awarded the National Water Pollution Control Federation's Gascoigne Award for outstanding work in resolving a major treatment operational problem in 1983. The work at Corvallis revealed that for their 9.7-mgd treatment needs, the construction cost for an entirely new plant using the TF/SC process would have been about $25 million versus approxi - Mately $30 million for a conventional activated sludge process. The work also illustrated that the process required only 50 percent of the electrical power used by the activated sludge process. Tolleson, Arizona. The Tolleson, Arizona, project was designed to meet virtually the same discharge requirements as Iowa City. _ While, as with Corvallis, part of the previously existing plant was incorporated into the new system, the savings associated with these reused units were relatively small. Other advantages favoring the TF/SC process include ease of operation and process stability. Brown and Caldwell was retained in 1979 by the City of Tolleson ' to prepare 201 facility plans. This project involved study and evaluation of wastewater treatment plant improvements and inter- ceptor sewers. Subsequent to the study, Tolleson decided to use a fast-track program for design and construction of the expansion of the Tolleson treatment plant to 8.3 mgd. The project is not EPA -funded but is supported by a number of communities situated to the west of Phoenix. Brown and Caldwell designed the expansion in only 4 months, using the combined capabilities of four of the firm's offices. Bids were received on 20 prepurchase equipment items in August 1980, and plant expansion bid was sent out in October 1980. Brown and Caldwell performed construction management services for this project. Central Valley Proiect, Salt Lake Couwnty. A project currently under construction, exemplifies how e approached and resolved treatment problems similar in many respects to Iowa City's problems. This is the Central Valley Water Reclamation Board's (CVWRB) project in Salt Lake County. This project is referenced in Table 1-2a. The CVWRFB comprises seven sewerage agencies in Utah. In early 1979, the board faced the problem of upgrading its five treatment facilities to meet future requirements for surface discharge to the Jordan River. Facilities then in existence used rock -media trickling filters --some with two-stage operation --designed to produce secondary effluent with an average daily aggregate flow of BROWN AND CALDWELL ID CONSULTING GNGINLERS 2-4 35 million gallons per day (mgd). Several CVWRFB treatment plants had nearly reached their design capacity and one, the Cottonwood Wastewater Plant, continuously failed to meet EPA standards for secondary treatment. In June 1979, the board selected the joint venture of Coon, King and Knowlton -Brown and Caldwell (CKK-BC) to develop a 201 Facilities Plan designed to meet the long-term wastewater management needs of the potential 67,000 -acre service area. Consistent with facility planning requirements, CKK-BC considered a full range of processing and disposal alternatives. In screening feasible alternatives, the board considered (1) regional treatment at a central site and (2) continued operation of existing, separate treatment plants after upgrading and enlarging them. Although the estimated capital costs for _ both approaches were similar, lower operation and maintenance costs caused the board to decide in favor of regional treatment. Further, the estimated effect of inflation on construction costs, especially in Utah, revealed that accelerating the construction 7 schedule would permit significant cost savings CKK-BC evaluated six liquid processing options for the regional plant. For economic reasons, CKK-BC rejected all except (1) nitrifying tower, (2) coupled (trickling filter -activated sludge), and (3) 25 -hour detention time (oxidation ditch). CKK-BC divided the second option in two: with and without filtration. To yield a complete wastewater treatment and disposal facility, four options were considered along with appropriate solids processing and disposal options. Cost-effectiveness comparisons were developed based on present worth--life-cycle costs over 20 years, including salvage values. Following this study, CKK-BC recommended that the most cost- effective plan for meeting effluent standards for biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nitrification would be the coupled trickling filter -activated sludge process without filtra- tion in combination with short-term storage, dewatering, and static pile composting. The board approved our recommendation and CKK-BC began designing the proposed 50-mgd regional facility. Into the second year of construction, curtailment of EPA funding necessitated design modifications. CKK-BC requested and received from the Utah Department of Health a variance of its limitations requiring nitrification of effluent prior to discharge to the Jordan River. A cost -benefit analysis was prepared showing a life -cycle savings of $30 million if nitrification facilities could be eliminated. The joint venture then prepared a report in which it was recommended to use the trickling filter -solids contact process instead of the coupled trickling filter -activated sludge process. The board accepted this recommendation and the project continued into construction. As of now, it is approximately halfway to completion.

R. Owe Time was a major factor in planning the design and construction of an 8.3-mgd wastewater treatment plant at Tolleson, Arizona. Time manage- ment and optimum use of other limit- ed resources promoted successful achievement of the project's goals. Three neighboring cities near Phoenix—Tolleson, Peoria, and Glendale—were involved with the plant expansion. Economies of scale and shared costs saved these cities valuable funds when compared with costs for separate wastewater treat- ment facilities. Capital costs of $1.70 per gallon treated per day and oper- ation and maintenance costs of be- tween $130 and 5190 per million gallons treated make this plant one of the most cost-effective facilities built in the nation today. Although the process was designed to produce an effluent of 30 -milligram -per -liter quality for both biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids, the ef- fluent is expected to fall below 10-10 mg/1 for BOD and SS during most of the. year. Reuse of both sludge and effluent not only reduces total operat- ing costs but is also an outstanding example of resource recovery. One of the most important of the project's goals was rapid completion of construction. A brief review of preceding events will explain this need. Early history Tolleson, a small city with a population of 4,630 peo- ple, generates a flow of only 0.5 mgd of wastewater. A local meat -packing plant financed Tolleson's original 4.7- mgd wastewater treatment plant in the late 1960s to process high-strength wastes to an acceptable standard before discharge to the Salt River. n The company also shared in payment of operation and maintenance costs at the treatment plant. In the early 1970s, however, declining production and revenues caused the packing plant to request relief from this arrangement, and Tolleson began searching for other communities to share the use of the wastewater treat- ment plant. Owen The nearby city of Peoria expressed interest in the proposal. In 1976, Tolleson proposed constructing a pipeline from Peoria and enlarging the plant to treat up to 5.4 mgd of wastewater—the projected flow from ultimate development in the Peoria area. Peoria, however, could not fund the proposed facilities from its limited financial resources, so Tolle- son offered to act as the lead agency in obtaining needed funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Another partner on board Meanwhile, in the late 1970s, growth in and near the neighboring commun- ity of Glendale exhausted that city's treatment capacity at another plant. As a result, the Arizona Department of Health Services imposed a sewer moratorium on Glendale. In 1979, Glendale offered to underwrite part of the expansion program at the Tolleson plant in return for a share of the treatment capacity. During 1979, the three cities en- gaged Brown and Caldwell to develop a 201 facility plan for construction of a 66 -inch connecting sewer, the 99th Avenue Interceptor, to serve the northwest planning area and convey flows to the Tolleson plant. The con- tinuing sewer moratorium at Glendale created an urgent need to have the project on-line as soon as possible. Recognizing that EPA funds were practically exhausted in Arizona and wishing to avoid delay, the cities elected to forego federal funding and construct the treatment plant facilities with money obtained from a bond Issue. Getting under way In January 1980, the cities selected Brown and Caldwell to design the expansion. Because time constraints were severe design was to be completed within Were modified to accept a higher flow rate. Photos 6' four to six months, and construction was to be substantially completed twelve months later. Other criteria specified that effluent quality must be consistently high, never less than 30-30 for BOD and SS. The effluent was to be reused as cooling water in the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant near Buckeye, Arizona, and sludge was to be dried and reused by a local turf farmer. Brown and Caldwell developed alternative strategies for meeting these unusual requirements at estimated project costs between 513 and $18 million. Selecting treatment processes The process selection was geared toward saving money and labor and incorporating existing process units. Since the existing plant used trickling filters, a preliminary design showed that Brown and Caldwell's newly de- veloped trickling filler/solids contact process was especially appropriate at Tolleson. Advantages of TF/SC are: 7. High reliability 2. Relatively low operation and main- tenance costs 3. Effluent of a quality equal to that produced by advanced treatment An unusually dense combined sludge, which makes it possible to reduce the size and capacity of the solids management system, includ- ing digesters—another cost saving e Brown and Caldwell Quarterly April -June 1982 11 bl trickling filters at the plant y Bruce McAllister Solids contact clarifiers are part of the trickling filter/solids contact process, which produces high quality secondary effluent at lora cost. Managing the project Designing and constructing the expansion within the allotted time required careful planning. Drown and Caldwell devel- oped the strategy and schedule for both design and construction at the outset of the project. Techniques used to expedite construction included multiple contracts for prepurchase of major equipment with long lead limes and division of the construction work into several prime contracts to ad- vance the midpoint of construction and reduce the clients' overhead and interest payments. Engineering The engineering was broken into four design packages partially engineered and coordinat- ed from the Tucson office and dis- tributed to Brown and Caldwell's Pasadena, Eugene, and Walnut Creek offices for final design, draft- ing, and specification writing. Design guidelines developed for each major discipline—civil, architectural, me- chanical, structural, electrical, and instrumentation—ensured consis- tency. Design group leaders and key personnel from each design team met regularly with project management in Tucson to work out problems as they arose. Quality control was main- tained by conducting frequent corpo- rate and client design reviews during the entire design process. Meeting the schedule Advanced planning paid off when work began. Preliminary design started immediate- ly after the contract was signed on February 29, 1980. After a temporary halt caused by uncertainty in the bond market, the four design groups began detailed design early in May, completing and printing final draw- ings and specifications by September 1, well within the minimum scheduled time of four months. By the end of June, specifications for 19 major equipment items had been prepared and put out for bid. Bids were received in mid-August, from which 16 contracts were award- ed in early September. These con- tracts called for equipment deliveries to a future prime contractor during specified periods in 1982. Construction On November 17, the prime contract was awarded for construction of the plant. The con- tract specified substantial completion, including all liquid stream unit pro- cesses, before year's end 1981, with final completion six months later. Construction and equipment deliv- eries proceeded according to schedule. The process potions of the plant were essentially completed, and treat- ment of wastewater had begun by December 1981. In September 1981, a contract for construction of the 3!4 - Brown and Caldwell Quarterly April -June 1982 mile outfall line commenced. Work was completed in January 1982. At the time of writing, completion of plant construction is scheduled for July 1982. The total project cost will be about $14 million. The phrase "on time and on budget" has a special meaning for those who worked on the Tolleson project because both the time and financial limitations were stringent. Evaluating results Advanced planning, skillful construction man- agement, a knowledgeable client, and well -coordinated collaboration all played their role at Tolleson. The rapid design -construction process saved interest charges and cost rises from inflation. The moratorium on sewer connections at Glendale was lifted in December 1981, and the city's development is proceeding. In addition, Brown and Caldwell's design decisions are proving to be economical and effective. In late May, the TF/SC process was treating about 5.5 mgd of wastewater, pro- ducing an effluent with 5 to 10 mg/I of suspended solids and 3 mg/I of biochemical oxygen demand with TF/SC's usual reliability and low operating costs.■ Corporate Offices: 1501 North Broadway P.O.

The recovery of the river from the gross pollution of 25 years ago to its pres- ent state is one of the nation's outstanding environmen- tal success stories. To maintain this state, present limita- tions for discharge to the river throughout most of its length require that the concentrations of biochemical ox- ygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids not exceed 10 mgll each during the summer recreation season. The wastewater reclamation plant expansion Brown and Caldwell designed for the City of Corvallis, Oregon, produces an effluent whose quality surpasses these discharge requirements by a wide margin. Further- more, the sparkling effluent quality is achieved solely by the innovative application of conventional secondary treatment processes, which are widely regarded as in- capable of attaining such high levels of treatment. The 10-mgd plant employs the coupled trickling filter - activated sludge process developed by Brown and Caldwell as a method for upgrading the performance of conventional trickling filter plants. Placed in service in May 1978, the plant was constructed at a total cost of $8.3 million. By using all existing plant units and concentrating our compactness in plant layout, Brown and Caldwell doubled the plant capacity our the present site while retaining room to double raparily again.

The operat ions building is constructed of precast concrete panels, unpainted to reduce aminteuance. The building is umnned Irry heat recovered from the compression of the aeration air. Each of the new secondary clarifiers has a center -well flocndating clamber equipped roil h four variable speed hvbine flocculalors. The artivaini sludge process air diffun•rs, a preference of the operating staff. A key to the plant's exceptional performance in the removal of BOD and suspended solids is the secondary clarifiers, which are designed with a center -well floccu- lating chamber. This chamber improves capture and set- tleability of the biologic solids from the activated sludge process. Process flexibility assures both high perfor- mance during the summer recreation season and max- imum economy during the winter season, when dis- charge requirements are less stringent. The treatment process can be shifted in a few minutes to any of the basic activated sludge operating modes. The plant can also be run by using only the trickling filter process — with improved secondary clarification. Engineer -Operator Cooperation Cooperation between engineers and operators was em. phasized throughout the design of the plant expansion. At the start of the design period, the city assigned key operating personnel to work with the Brown and Caldwell project team. The operating staff made significant contri. butions to the design decisions that affect the ease of operation and maintenance, and in the process devel. oped a thorough understanding of the plant's design. This knowledge contributed to a smooth plant start-up. Innovative Hydraulic Design By innovative management of hydraulics, the entire ac. livaled sludge process was designed with a total peak. flow head loss of only 1.41 feet. This figure represents all losses between the inlet to the aeration tanks and the outlet from the secondary clarifiers, including conduits, flow splitter devices, and secondary clarifier weirs. The low head loss enabled the activated sludge process to be inserted into the existing plant flow stream between the trickling filters and the secondary clarifier, without repumping, while doubling the flow rate. A 28•mgd inter. mediate pumping station that had been included in the predesign report was thus eliminated during detailed design. 110 Trickling_ Aerated Channels Filters;;; i' 100.00 99.90 99.59 99.52 99.40 96.59 96.92 — — From Primary SecondaryClarifiersClarifiers DitribtionGates V96.718AerationTanks Submerged Distribution Weirs (Former Secondary Clarifier) This schematic hydraulic profile of the secondary treatment process illustrates the ernplimmlly low head loss. Energy Conservation The Corvallis wastewater reclamation plant contains a number of features designed to achieve the maximum in treatment efficiency with the minimum expenditure of energy. As a result, the plant produces an effluent of ex- ceptional quality at an energy cost no higher than is common for plants with four to six times the effluent con- taminanlload. Methane produced in the plant's sludge digesters is burned in boilers that supply all plant heating require- ments. The plant is therefore independent of fossil fuels except for a standby source of natural gas and the diesel fuel for the emergency generator. The flexibility in the secondary treatment process permits the operator to select the operating mode that is best suited to the plant load and to the summer or winter discharge requirements. Once the operating mode is selected, an automatically controlled aeration air system modulates air flow in response to measurements of the dissolved oxygen in the aeration tanks. The aeration air flow is thus continuously adjusted to supply just the amount of oxygen required by the process. Time lore-pressurestrain boilers burn shhdgegas to supply fire plant's beat requirements.

When this flow of air is throttled, the air supplied by the blowers is reduced correspondingly by automatic throttling valves on the blower suction. This reduction lowers internal pressure in the blowers and effects a fur. ther power saving. One energy conservation measure is unique to the Corvallis plant. A water coil in the aeration air line down- stream of the blowers recovers heat from the compres- sion of the aeration air and uses it to heat the operations building. The raw sewage pumps use liquid rheostats for speed control. The inefficiency inherent in variable speed control shows up as heat rejected by the liquid rheostat. Normally, this heat is wasted. At Corvallis, however, the hot electrolyte solution is pumped through coils in the air -handling unit that ventilates the wet well. supplying needed heal. These unusual features of IITe Corvallis plant led Water and Wastes Engineering magazine to give Brown and Caldwell its 1978 Annual Excellence in Engineering Design award for the conception and execution of the plant's design.

They have, however, established a working rela- tionship in teaming for business development on previous proposals. In addi- tion, Dr. Cherryholmes, the proposed on-site project coordinator, was a Senior Associate of EEI for three years preceding his employment with BAL. He is, thus, quite familiar with EEI's organizational structure, policies and person- nel, and is in an ideal position to coordinate work flow among the three firms. The three firms proposed are all highly professional, experienced organizations with clearly delineated project responsibilities. This, in addition to the personal familiarity among team members, will assure efficiency of project performance. 5. 0CAMPLE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS DESIGNED WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS.

PROJECT APPROACH. EEI has extensive experience in the performance of technology:cost evaluations for wastewater treatment systems for both govern- ment and industry. Based on this experience, our overall approach to projects such as that proposed is to: 1) clearly define all project goals at the project's inception; 2) thoroughly examine all feasible alternatives to attain those goals; and 3) define in detail that alternative which will attain those —i goals at the lowest short- and long-term costs. Alternatives considered will not necessarily be limited to those previously developed but, rather, may — include innovative process, management, or financial techniques developed ., during the course of our studies. — Two examples of EEI's application of this approach are our 201 Facilities Plan — and WWTP Design for Knoxville, Tennessee and our Engineering Study and Detailed •; WWTP Design for Danville, Illinois. Among the principal considerations in _ Knoxville were the need for cost:effective expansion of capacity with minimal disruption of existing operations. The major alternatives considered were: 1) coordination of the expanded plant with a nearby stormwater treatment facil- ity, eliminating additional settling basins; 2) attainment of a permit vari- ance which eliminated the need for activated carbon treatment; and 3) design of an energy conservation system providing for 85 percent of the plant's auxiliary •r incineration fuel needs through preparation and use of digester methane. The following paragraphs outline our approach to the Iowa City project in terms i� of the ten activities cited in the project schedule, question 11 of this ques- tionnaire. There is considerable overlap among several of these activities and accomplishment of many of the activities themselves requires integration of .� several sub -activities. This manner of presenting our approach is, thus, goal -oriented rather than a technical explanation of work elements. Having �-' carried out these types of projects before, we believe this focus on results _ rather than techniques to be the proper one. I J A. Project Initiation Meeting - Immediately following notice -to -proceed, a -} meeting will be convened in Iowa City to discuss project goals, schedule, and the team's understanding of the present status of the wastewater system, J further needs, and designated points of contact. The project team will be _. represented by the Project Manager, Mr. Mark Kroenig of EEI, Dr. Keith Cherryholmes (Local Coordinator) of BAL, and Mr. Barry Hogue of BHA. Although designation of representatives from the City and other concerned agencies is the responsibility of the City, we would recommend the attendance of the following as a minimum: City Manager, Neal Berlin; Representative of Waste Water Facility Committee; Dr. Richard R. Dague of the University of Iowa. B. Site Reconnaissance and On -Site Facilities Evaluation - During the week following the Initiation Meeting, team personnel will visit the plant site, review records and plans, and gather information relative to the project. While the duration of this task is a single week, it is one of the most impor- tant activities to be carried out in the project. 'Thorough understanding of the management, processes, and present or projected inadequacies of the treat- ment system is essential as a basis for conceptualizing alternatives to upgrade _ the system. The facilities evaulation will he performed by Mr. Mark Kroenig, Mr. Bob Bessent, and Mr. Dan Logan of EEI, all of whom have performed similar evaluations, including a ten-POTW "troubleshooting" project for Region VII USEPA and several other system -wide studies. 4 1161 i ■'. During the same week as the plant evaluations, Mr. Barry Hogue of BHA will gather information relative to alternate financing plans and other economic data. I C. Evaluation and Updating of Existing Information - The following two-week period will be spent in studying the information gathered from the standpoints of process flow, site and corridor conditions, wasteload projections, and economics, both regarding facility costs and financing. Information will be updated or corrected as necessary. These activities will be carried out by the same personnel as the Facilities Evaluation and Information Gathering with —' local assistance from Dr. Cherryholmes of BAL, as needed. 17 D. Define Alternatives - During the following three weeks, the entire team will participate in examination of all feasible alternatives for system expan- sion, including process, schedule, and financial considerations. The study will include the alternative of improving and expanding the existing plant and a review of the SSES and I/I study. �± All other alternatives developed during prior studies will also be considered. The team's study, however, will not be limited to previously developed alterna- tives, and any new and innovative techniques developed during the study will also be recommended to the City for further consideration as the project progresses. E. Presentation of Alternatives to the Cit - Subsequent to the development and compilation of alternatives, but prior to any in-depth screening, a meeting will be held with City representatives to present and explain the alternatives, discuss any constraints or apparent advantages or disadvantages of each, and obtain a concensus on subsequent stages of the study. The same personnel attending the project initiation meeting will attend this meeting. F. Screening of Alternatives - Based on the concensus reached at the presen- tation, the team will screen the alternatives from both technological and eco- nomic standpoints. The screening will include processes, schedules, site conditions, costs, feasibility in terms of operation, and financing approaches, as well as any other engineering, planning, or environmental considerations which might affect any of the alternatives. Since some of the alternatives may include new or innovative features, not all screening elements can be specified herein. In addition to the above considerations, however, all elements speci- fied in USEPA's "Procedures for Cost:Effective Evaluation" will be included. It is anticipated that the entire team of key personnel will be involved in this screening. G. Project Meeting - Recommend Alternatives - Once the alternatives have been screened and the least -cost but technically acceptable alternative selected, another meeting will be held with City representatives to present team find- ings, explain advantages and disadvantages of the recommended alternative, and reach a concensus on the acceptability of the alternative and any necessary modification thereof. Again, the Project initiation team members will participate. 5 110 H. Draft Report - Both a complete explanation of screening procedures/results and a detailed description of the recommended alternative will be presented for City review in a draft report. The report will include detailed descriptions of facilities, cost estimates, site requirements and constraints, sewer charges, and financing methods. The report will be revised as required and resubmitted to the City. I. & J. Agency Review/Final Report - The revised report will be the exclusive property of the City and its use will be decided upon by the City. Should the iCity desire, however, the team will coordinate Agency review and revise the report to reflect Agency comments. EEI also has the design and construction management capabilities to carry out any subsequent phases of the project. 8. MINORITY/FEMALE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES. No team members are minority or female business enterprises. 9. PRIVATIZATION AND ALTERNATIVE FUNDING MECHANISMS.

' Signature vice President Title I Envirodyne Engineers, Inc. May 21, 1984 - Name of Firm Date I J ' PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS 1. U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District Huntington WV Facilities Planning and Development i y� EEI was retained to develop a series of alternative wastewater management plans that could meet the needs of the study area through the year 2030. The study was coordinated with other intermediate and long-range water resource needs of the area including water supply, flood control, navigation, flood plain land j use, water -related recreation, and environmental enhancement. EEI studied governmental components separately, bringing the planning to appro- priate level of detail, and then incorporated the individual alternatives into comprehensive regional wastewater management alternatives. To complete neces- sary data, an infiltration/inflow survey was conducted in 12 communities in the area. EEI had responsibility for the preparation of alternative wastewater systems including in-depth consideration of: 1) treatment and discharge using advanced biological or physical -chemical technologies; 2) treatment and reuse/ recycling using advanced biological or physical -chemical technologies; and 3) iland treatment. Planning was iterative and proceeded from conceptualization through schematic design and unit cost estimation. EEI worked closely with the Huntington District as well as state agencies and regional authorities during this project. 2. City of Knoxville Knoxville TN - '- Treatment Plant Desi.an ani r...,e «-.....,_ Applications and supporting documents for permits, grants and financing of a --� Facilities 201 Plan were prepared by EEI. Preparation of the facilities plan included: performance of an infiltration/inflow analysis which revealed a significant quantity of intrusion into the sewer system; updating of the city's land use plan; performance of an inventory of industrial contributors to the sewerage system and an inventory of the system itself; assistance in the prepa- ration of a new sewer use ordinance and rate schedule; and projection of future J 0 11GI I flows and the contributing population. From this information, various waste- water treatment alternatives were developed and evaluated relative to their cost and environmental effects. The most cost-effective alternative was selected based upon this evaluation and an engineering report was prepared to include construction and operation and maintenance cost estimates, design cri- teria, and a plant layout. All information was compiled into a facilities plan _ for the city which also outlined future actions relative to wastewater treat- ment. Other pertinent aspects of the project included development of a public _. information program, subsurface investigations, site evaluations, assistance in property acquisition negotiations and property and topographic surveys, prepa- ration of technical information for rate and bond schedules. The critical J review of the entire treatment works indicated that the treatment plant would have to be upgraded in order to accomodate the expected hydraulic and organic - loads. EEI developed plans and specifications for upgrading that facility and managed the construction supervision for the expanded facility which was completed in 1982. 3. Town of LaPlata, LaPlata, MD - Treatment Alternative Design; Detailed Design of Selected Treatment Scheme JPopulation projections showed that the town's existing treatment plant capacity would be exceeded before a regional plant run by the county became available to the town. LaPlata retained EEI to conduct a thorough study of possible treat- ment alternatives to be used as an interim measure or in lieu of the regional i system. EEI projected wastewater flows for LaPlata through 1990 based on existing records and planning documents. EEI also analyzed flow characteristics and projected future sewage strength to develop design criteria for a treatment - facilitywith design life of 15 a 9 years. EEI then investigated five possible `I treatment alternatives including: 1) upgrading the existing 600,000 GPD facility to a one MGD capacity; 2) building a new plant; 3) continuing to use the existing plant as a primary and roughing plant with additional treatment J provided by a small polishing lagoon; 4) building an effluent trunk sewer and pumping station to pump effluent to a land disposal field for spray irrigation system; and 5) making minor changes in the existing plant and constructing an interceptor sewer to a new smaller plant with an aerated lagoon which would J handle discharges from projected residential developments in the area. EEI recommended selection of Alternative 2. To facilitate funding and maintain flexibility with regard to regional plans, EEI recommended construction in two phases. EEI prepared a process design and cost analysis and also worked with county officials to revise the regional plan so as to incorporate the town's plant. Upon finalization of the regional plan, EEI prepared detailed plans and specifications for LaPlata's facility. 4. MSDGC; Chicago, IL - Detailed Design of Northside Treatment Plant Expansion MSDGC retained EEI to evaluate various alternatives to accomodate expansion of the plant capabilities. Detailed design and specifications were recently completed on several airlift pump stations, aeration basin modifications, and large primary and secondary clarifiers. In addition, EEI prepared a detailed 9 I(W cost estimate for all major equipment items, pumps, piping, etc. for future bid purposes. It should be noted that the project has not been constructed as yet, and EEI aspires to be selected for the role of construction management on the project. 5. City of Marion, Marion, IL - Development of Was EEI collected composite samples from the sewer and industrial lines which connected or were planned to connect into the community sewage treatment facility. The loadings and flows were evaluated for each component. A weighed composite was prepared and design parameters were determined for upgrading the treatment plant. 6. Greater Peoria Sanitary District, Peoria, IL - Sewer System Evaluation EEI compiled data for sewer use from such sources as sewer maps, water use records, wastewater flows, growth projections, and industrial and commercial development plans. The District's existing sewer system was examined in detail to determine size and grade of lines, physical conditions of the sewers, problem areas of grit deposition and high water marks in manholes. Flow measurements were made at critical points in the system and major sources of inflow into the sewers were identified. Based on this data, alternative solutions to the District's sewer system prob- lems were developed and evaluated. Preliminary drawings were made of selected alternatives, and were presented to the District along with preliminary cost estimates. CA - 7. Ci EEI, as a major participant in the RETAMOLTE joint venture performed the final design for the South San Francisco/San Bruno in -plant improvements. In the headworks building, new influent samplers for sampling three influent waste streams separately and a new screening disintegrator were specified. The grit chamber was modified to install a new grit collection and conveyor of increased capacity to handle the amount of grit. Various piping modifications and a redesign of an existing channel were made to relieve hydraulic restrictions and operating problems in the aeration tanks. A new surface scum collection system was designed for the secondary clarifiers to meet state requirements. The RAS system was modified to allow a greater rate of return activated sludge and a sludge division box was added to allow better control of the return activated sludge to the three aeration tank batteries. Both modifications would result in improved operations of the plant. To provide energy savings, a heat recovery system was designed to capture the heat from the water cooled engines used on the aerators. In this closed system, the heat is transmitted to the sludge digesters, where it provides auxiliary heat thus saving operational costs for gas heating. 10 110 A new 2000 Kw diesel generator is being installed to increase the standby power capacity in the event of an electric utility failure. All vital treatment plant facilities would be able to maintain operation. For the Cities of Millbrae and Burlingame, EEI designed a new belt filter sludge dewatering facility. With the impending closure of the existing sani- tary landfill site, the existing centrifuge would not provide the solids con- centration required from both an economic analysis of hauling costs and the new landfill site requirement for solids concentration. The belt filter facility with a 9 ton/day capacity would provide an economic solution considering both capital and operations and maintenance costs. As a member of the joint ven- ture, EEI provided Step III construction services to the Cities of South San Francisco/San Bruno. 8. City of Griffith, IN - Infiltration/Inflow Study EEI conducted field checks of twelve key manholes located in subsections of Griffith's total sewer system. Flow recorders were utilized continuously over a 48-hour period to obtain data on peak dry weather flows and expected infil- 1 -- tration. EEI worked closely with Griffith's Director of Utilities and a local contractor to study the age and types of material used in the sewer system. r, In the drainage area of each key manhole, EEI determined sewer footage and ;I respective diameters to convert infiltration flow into gallons per day per inch '-� diameter/mile of sewer. Current sewage pumpage data were included in the final report. In addition, EEI determined the relationship of existing population ' and industrial discharge contributions to current flow volumes and prepared preliminary cost estimates (for the design life of the sewer system and treat- V ment works) for both correction of the infiltration/inflow conditions and for increasing the capacity of the treatment works to handle additional flow.

Danville Sanitary District, Danville, IL - Wastewater Treatment Plant Engineering Study and Detailed Design J A facilities plan and preliminary engineering study was conducted for the Sanitary District to determine the most cost-effective method for upgrading an _ existing wastewater treatment facility. The chosen alternative expands the hydraulic capacity of the plant from 8 MGD to 16 MGD average daily flow while upgrading its capacity from secondary to tertiary treatment. Included in this alternative are additions or modifications to the aeration and secondary settling basins, intermediate pump station, multi -media filters, chlorination facilities and total sludge disposal systems including the upgrading of exist - facilities anaerobic digesters to complex mix high rate units, dewatering by centri- fugation and a pneumatic sludge transport system to incineration. New and expanded maintenance and administratio facilities have also been included in the overall plan to upgrade the existing plant. The cost-effectiveness of this alternative was predicated on three major points: 1) coordination with nearby stormwater treatment facility to negate the necessity for additional primary settling basins; 2) total energy conservation system which prepares and uti- lizes digester gas for approximately 85 percent of the incineration auxiliary fuel needs; and 3) attainment of a variance permitting less stringent discharge criteria, thereby removing the need for further treatment via activated carbon adsorption. 11 WA Following client approval of the chosen alternative, BEI prepared detailed �- plans, specifications and contract documents for upgrading the facility and provided bid assistance to the sanitary district. Bids within the allotted budget were received for construction. EEI also provided construction compli- ance assistance during the construction period. Following construction, EEI developed an operation and maintenance manual and assisted in facility start-up and operator training. 10. Danville Sanitary District, Danville, IL - Economic Evaluation Study -.j A financial needs study was performed to predict the revenues required to off- set operation and maintenance costs. Alternate means for accruing monies and various billing systems were evaluated. Domestic and industrial user charge ordinances were developed in order to fairly assess contributors according to the impact of their discharge upon the sewerage system. EEI assisted the Dis- trict in negotiations with other service companies and financial institutions. Negotiations were complicated by the fact that the area served by the District did not coincide with other municipal services. j The system chosen integrated computer billing from other municipal services with the District's computerized billing and collection system. After 2 years on-line, the system achieved over 97 percent return on its billings, a rate accurately predicted by EEI during preliminary estimates of actual revenue collections. 1 1 11. City of Minot, ND - Preliminary Wastewater Treatment Plant Study, Detailed -- Design, Construction Management Based on the previously referenced material, it was decided that two new cells _. be added to the already existing contact stabilization pond system. Following this decision, EEI developed a detailed set of plans and specifications and a cost estimate for contractor bidding purposes. Following regulatory agency approval of these plans and specifications, EEI provided construction manage- ment services when the new lagoons were being built. In addition to designing two 160 -acre lagoons, EEI designed a new effluent pump station for the upgraded system and modified two existing lift stations by specifying new pumps. 12. City of Pevely, MO - Wastewater Treatment Plant Troubleshooting The City of Pevely wastewater treatment plant (activated sludge) was experienc- ing excessive solids in its effluent and requested that EEI evaluate the cause of the problem. Following an on-site evaluation of the situation (solids analyses and settling tests, etc.), it was determined that the solids loading on the secondary clarifier was excessive. Following futher research into the situation, it was recommended that an additional clarifier be added to the plant to handle the excess solids loading. EEI took the concept and developed a set of detailed design drawings and specifications for the construction of the new clarifier. In addition, EEI developed the pretreatment ordinance and for the City as well as a user rate schedule. 12 U1 i 13. USEPA, Region VII - Wastewater. Treatment Plant Troubleshooting Activities Under a quick -response contract with EPA Research Triangle Park, NC, EEI con- ducted a troubleshooting program at approximately ten POTWs. The objectives of the program included the following. a) Through effluent quality evaluations, determine where compliance prob- lems exist at the plant and if they exist due to faulty equipment, under -design operation of the facility, industrial influent upset, etc. b) Recommend methods to improve treatment efficiency by treatment plant expansion, modification of operational procedures, incorporation and enforce- ment of pretreatment regulations, etc. c) If expansion is appropriate, recommend the type of technology which would bring about compliance. 14. Village of Sauget, IL - American Bottoms Regional Wastewater Treatment EEI was asked to conduct a treatability study on the influent to the proposed American Bottoms Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Being approximately 90 percent industrial wastewater, the question was asked whether it could be treated biologically. EEI conducted a biotreatability study on the waste stream over a period of about 3 months. Design criteria for the full-scale system was developed as a result of the study. A modified sludge system was found to be effective treating the complex organic wastes. During the detailed design phase of this project, EEI engineers contributed plans and specifica- tions for electrical and structure aspects of the proposed system. The full-scale plan is presently in the construction phase. 13 MO( �1 1 I ..1 i _J I J I I _ I �I I U I f J 1 J APPENDIX A RESUMES 110 J MARK H. KROENIG, P.E.

Conmruction on final clarifiers for a domestic ❑illificatiort procr». Today's Water Pollution Control problems are not simple. Many con- siderations must be evaluated before effective solutions can be reached. Regulations are becoming increas- ingly more stringent and compli- cated. Energy and chemical costs for treatment are continually rising. The changing of liquid pollutants into solid or airborne material in many cases only makes solutions to these problems more complex. Solutions to complex problems are our business and have been for over 25 years. During that time, we've served clients in industry and government from California to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our staff of registered professional engineers, technicians, chemists, biologists and systems analysts holds a high percentage of advanced degrees to back up a wealth of experience. They're trained to solve problems from start to finish. Our record of successfully completed projects proves it. Trouble -shooting existing treatment plants, developing pre-treatment programs, solving wastewater odor problems, planning for present and future systems, designing treatment systems for complex wastewater—all are projects Envirodyne has taken on and resolved.

Comprehensiveness is the key. Envirodyne's "Big Picture" approach takes into account all aspects of a problem. Factors such as regulatory restrictions, capital and C&M costs and the disposal of treatment byproducts are all considered. We understand that in order to reach a full set of solutions, you need a full range of services. Envirodyne has it all—from sampling and analysis, through design, construction and operator training. We maintain the equipment and personnel necessary to analyze water and wastewater to the letter of required analytical and chain -of -custody protocol. For new facilities, we have the expertise to perform conceptual and prelimin- ary designs, as well as detailed plans and specifications. We can assist during construction of a new control system by reviewing bids, supervising construction, preparing 0&M manuals and training operators. For existing facilities, we're experienced in providing optimization of energy and chemical usage and streamlining personnel requirements through better process systems control. Whether your pollution problems are relatively routine or one -of -a -kind, your solution is—Envirodyne. We look forward to serving you.

Berlin, City Manager J City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 1 Dear Mr. Berlin: We have received your April 10, 1984 request for study proposals through Allen I( Water & Wastewater Engineering, Inc. of Fairfield, Iowa. We are interested in L' being considered for this assignment and would propose to work with Tom Allen. Tom was formerly a member of our organization and we are confident of an excellent working relationship. I ti 'I You have asked for a creative approach to the solution of your wastewater problems, and have expressed an interest in privatization. We are uniquely qualified to provide the services requested. Our team's record of developing innovative solutions exemplifies our ability to provide an independent evaluation of the existing facilities and the previously J completed detailed design so that the best combination of new and exist- ing ideas are molded into an overall solution. We are familiar with the of privatization. Williams & Works has potential benefits and pitfalls worked with Arthur Young & Associates to develop three detailed privati- zation proposals. After all of the changes in the project during the last couple of years, it �i will be most important to develop community support for the project. The evaluation must be perceived by the public to be completely without bias. We are therefore proposing that you consider retaining us to do just the initial study and to work with you in evaluating or managing subsequent steps in the implementation of your program. This will allow you to define the project and the financing plan before selecting a firm for design work. If the most practical solution lends itself to privatization, having the detailed design done by the private constructor/owner/operator would probably maximize the benefits of the privatization approach. If the most practical solution does not lend itself to privatization, the City could then select a design firm (or firms) based on criteria strictly related to demonstrated ability to satisfactorily execute detailed working drawings. bo 1161 Mr. Neal G. Berlin, City Manager City of Iowa City May 21, 1984 Page Two If the most practical solution leads itself to contract operations, the City could then select a contract operator on a competitive basis. The following quotations from page 13 of the Arthur Young privatization study are appropriate. w "The national market for private sector ownership and operation of sewage treatment facilities is now recognized to be in the billions of dollars. Many companies are mobilizing resources to establish strong competitive positions." I ' "Firms in the contract operations business are competitively bidding and aggressively pursuing contract 0&M wastewater treatment opportun- ities." J Arthur Young also strongly recommends that the City retain the right of over- sight through independent firms (both financial and operations). Our value engineering experience and our operation management experience lead us to the LJ same conclusion. We are experienced in all aspects of wastewater treatment, and our team is .: capable of providing the design, construction -management, value engineering, and contract operation if you so desire. Also, if desired, we could put r� together an expanded team for privatization. However, we believe that the review and development of alternatives as outlined in your RFP can best be accomplished by a team that is to be paid for the value of their counsel, r, rather than via anticipated profits from design, construction, financing, or operation. I ti In reading over the facility plan and reviewing the documents furnished prior to writing this -letter, we could not help but have cost saving.ideas. These �+ ideas are in addition to the alternatives listed in the RFP Attachment 3 and in the Dague-Kimm report. It is our opinion that there are real possibilities for t an $18 to $20 million reduction in costs to the benefit of the entire commu- nity. We are excited over the possibility of working with Iowa City and look forward to having an opportunity to present our credentials and cost reducing ideas in person.

Question No. 9 List completed wastewater or other municipal projects involving privatization that the team members developed within the previous five years, with construction costs and the name and phone number of a city official familiar with the project and the team members' participation. NVILLIADIS a N1'ORKS Response Although the team members have completed no municipal privatization projects, Williams & Works has worked with Arthur Young on three propo- sals during the last 17 months and has prepared the attached summary of our approach to privatization under Tab 5. It should be noted that this was prepared before the presently proposed tax bill, HR 3110. Question No. 10 List and describe completed wastewater or other municipal projects involving innovative funding methods, processes and construction techniques. Include construction costs and the name and phone number of a city official familiar with the project and the team members' participation. Response The City of Detroit final clarifier modifications project involved innovative clarifier evaluation, design, prototype testing, and full- scale construction which improved the secondary clarifier hydraulic capacity and saved $28 million in clarifier construction costs. Williams & Works won the 1980 Grand Conceptor Award of the American Consulting Engineers Council for this project. The City of Ludington wastewater treatment facility is a system of two aerated lagoons followed by chemical precipitation in the wastewater plant. The lagoons are arranged in such a manner that the facility can take about six times the dry weather flow, while the chemical precipita- tion was designed to operate on a one -shift basis, 8 hours a day - 5 days a week basis. Mr. Allen, while affiliated with a previous firm, was the Project Engineer for the innovative Fairfield, Iowa wastewater treatment plant. Approximately 50% of the entire $2.7 million project was declared "Innovative" under the EPA guidelines for special increased Federal Grants. The oxidation ditch system was designed for carbonaceous BOD removal, nitrification, and denitrification with no requirements for �VIL[.IAhiti U NLNZKS auxiliary chemical addition. The aeration system consists of draft tube aerators to reduce power requirements. The disposal of secondary sludge is incorproated as a function of the storm flow equalization system. The Fairfield, Iowa wastewater improvement project, at Mr. Allen's suggestion and with his assistance, was the first city in Iowa to take advantage of the anti -arbitrage Iowa financing law. This saved the city approximately 259 of their local financing requirements. Refer to Related Project Experience under Tab 3 and Selected Client References under Tab 4. Summaries and/or published reprints of these projects are included under Tab 6. Also included is a list of Williams & Works' creative engineering ideas. Question No. 11 Provide work schedule with a specific timetable from the date you are authorized to proceed through the time the selected alternative is approved by the EPA and the State of Iowa. Response Iowa City has established a timetable for accomplishing this work from October 24, 1984 to April 1, 1985. We believe this to be a reasonable period to complete our proposed Study Management Plan.

Ni,"IKS NAME OF PROJECT: Wastewater Treatment Plant Evaluation Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota PROJECT DESCRIPTION: C014PLETION DATE: ENGINEERING COST: Williams & Works completed a six-month evaluation study of the 250 mgd Metropolitan Wastewater Treat- ment Plant serving Minneapolis/St. Paul. This study involved assessing the actual treatment capability of the entire facility and included an intensive ten - week on-site observation period. The conclusions from this study were used to establish effluent limitations for the plant. The study required a thorough review of the sludge and liquid treatment process as well as the relation- ship to both present and future discharge criteria. The processes evaluated included thermal condition- ing, return liquor sidestream treatment, sludge dewatering, and incineration. Assistance in planning for the start-up and full utilization of improvements which were under con- struction was provided and recommendations to the operating staff were made. One unusual observation arising in the course of this study was that improved pretreatment by a local paper industry may reduce future sludge dewaterability due to a reduction in total sludge fiber content. The evaluation was required to identify the causes for failure of the operation to routinely meet its established limits to the Mississippi River as well as the atmosphere. The study report included recom- mendations for procedural and equipment modifications to enable the effluent limitations to be met. September, 1980 $158,000 NVILLIAHIS 47 KKNUCS ■ NAME OF PROJECT: value Engineering Study Littleton/Englewood, Colorado PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A value engineering study was performed for a 13 mgd expansion to the cities' wastewater treatment facil- ity. The existing 20 mgd plant was designed by Henningson Durham and Richardson, Inc., with Culp/ Wesner/Culp as subcontractor. Expansion design had begun with the expectation of EPA funding. However, by the time of the VE study, it was realized the project would have to be supported with 1008 local funds. At that time, design of various units ranged from 508 to 1008 complete. Due to the sensitive nature of the review, our value engineering team consisted of senior staff. The study's recommended changes indicated a $5 million project decrease from the original $25 million estimate. COMPLETION DATE: December, 1961 ENGINEERING COST: $25,000 WILLIAMS 81 NVMKS NAME OF PROJECT: Evaluation of Wastewater Treatment Plant Capabilities Battle Creek, Michigan PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An evaluation was made of the city's existing waste- water treatment facilities. With construction beginning on Phase II of a treatment plant expansion, the plant had to operate with existing facilities during the interim. Interim effluent limitations, based on an average flow of 15.5 mgd, were issued to the city in 1979. An evaluation was requested during 1980 when the plant was not able to consistently meet the effluent limitations. The study recommended raising the existing effluent limitations to more closely conform with existing sludge process capabilities. Approximately 75 percent of the flow and wasteload to the plant is from industry. The wastewater contains high soluble BOD and suspended solids -- almost twice the strength of normal domestic wastewater. To improve the sludge settling capabilities, the study also recommended nutrient addition to the waste stream to eliminate filamentous organisms.

Projecting a 20 -year tax exempt IDB issue for 80% of the project cost, a 10% investment tax credit, depreciation of 50% of the capital investment over 5 years and 45% over 15 years, and no savings in either construction or operating costs, we arrived at the conclusion that the cost to the community would be 17 % less than with conventional financing while providing a return on investment to the leveraged owners of 5% more than the coupon rate on the IDB's, assuming a 46% tax bracket. CONCLUSION... The key to this whole program is the development of a partnership between the private firm and the city. To make this partnership possible requires disclosure of all the facts and data to develop confidence and trust, and to be assured that the parties are addressing each other's needs and concerns appropriately. Together we,would prepare a schematic plan of the facilities to be constructed, and develop the financing program and the contractual relationships necessary for the implementation of the program with a goal of arriving at a sufficient development of facts to permit a "go or no-go" decision by both parties. The community must be confident that it can obtain: o Rate stability within the limits of inflation, o Continuity of operation, o Dependable performance to required standards, o Capacity to meet present demands, and a mechanism for expansion to meet future demands. The private investors must be confident that they can obtain: o An adequate return on investment o A contract term long enough to justify the substantial investment o A consistent positive dollar flow NVILLGVDIS 9 woRKS J �' CREATIVE ENGINEERING Williams & Works has a long history of innovation.

Wastewater plant modification wins ACEC's 'excellence' prize Washington, D.C. —The modifi- cation of Detroit's wastewater treat- ment plant which will save the city $27 million has been chosen as the leading example of engineering excellence for 1980. The Grand Conceptor award, the A full-scale test conducted on the modified clarifier Included application of an extremely sensitive Instrument normal- ly used to measure velocity ocean cur- rents, lop prize for engineering excellence given by the American Consulting Engineers Council, was presented to the consulting engineering firm of Williams and Works, Grand Rapids, at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. The Detroit project won one of 16 awards given by a panel of 11 judges representing government, industry and other fields. It involved study and tests of mod- ifications to increase thecapacity of the huge final clarifiers of the treat- ment plant by a third. The increase was required by changes in federal Environmental Protection Agency and Michigan Department of Natu- ral Resources regulations. Effluent from the plant, one of the largest in the world and serving three million people and thousands of industries, could not meet the new regulations. Construction of new facilities would have required extensive land acqui- sition and relocation of residents. Williams & Works designed changes in the inlet structures to the clarifiers, reducing the velocity of the flow of waste into the clarifiers, raising the level at which waste was introduced and adding a series of fiberglass baffles to further disperse the flow of phosphorous -removing liquid across the face of the clarifi- ers. A full scale test model was installed at a cost of $411,000. The estimated cost of installation in the remaining 24 clarifiers is $4 million, which represents a saving of $27 million over the cost of constructing additional clarifiers. The city of Detroit has awarded a contract for modification of the remaining clarifiers to Dynamic Const. of Detroit. "This project provides untold ben- efit to the people of Detroit as tax- payers and as citizens needing to renew the natural resources of the region," said David Gardner, Topsham, Maine, chairman of the Engineering Excellence Awards Committee. "It also benefits mil- lions of residents of the Great Lakes region because the quality of efflu- ent being discharged into the receiving waters will be improved." Presenting the Grand Conceptor award was Henry Longest, deputy assistant administrator for EPA's Water Programs Operations. Grand and honor awards in the research and design categories were pres. ented by ACEC President George Barnes and Gardner. ■ A view of the clarifier prior to modification.

TIIE CONVENTIONAL DESIGN of water pol- lution control plants usually requires a three shift operation. For large plants that provide secondary treatment or for small plants that provide tertiary treatment, a three shift operation is often required for continuous supervision and control of one or more of the unit processes. To supply operator attention for three shrifts, 305 days/yr, a minimum of five operators is required. The salary and wages of five men represent a cost of $150 to $200/mil gal of flow for a 1.0-mgd plant. Many smaller communities are unable to provide supervision and maintenance on a three shift basis because of the cost involved. A design permitting one shift operation would be more suitable for these communities. Such a design, which uses aerated lagoons and one shift operation of phosphorus re- moval facilities, was adopted for the waste- water treatment plant that is now under construction in Ludington, Mich. The process consists basically of aerated lagoon treatment, followed by lime pre- cipitation and chlorination. The lime pre- cipitation is primarily for the purpose of phosphorus removal, with incidental im- provement in the quality of the effluent. The upflow basins that are used for lime precipitation are sized to permit their operation on a one shift basis, with no discharge during the rest of the time. This is accomplished by allowing the water level in the aerated lagoons to rise and fall, and thus the necessary storage is provided. This treatment plant will therefore have to be attended only during the dny shift, except on those days following a rainfall. Under such circumstances it may be neces- sary to run the chemical precipitation units during more hours, because part of the 2690 Journal WPCJV Ludington wastewater collection system consists of combined sewers. The design criteria on which the Luding- ton wastewater treatment facilities have been based were derived from a review of data on the quality of the effluent from existing aerated lagoons in the neighbor- ing community of Clare, Mich., and on the basis of pilot plant work using a 10-gpm (0.831-1/sec) pilot plant. EXISTING FALmrrms Collection system. Ludington has a population of about 9,500 and is located on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan. It has a harbor, which is used extensively for fishing and stripping. State parks, lake fishing, and water recreation attract a num- ber of tourists to the city every year. The average summer population is about 11,000. Ludington is currently served by a sys- tem of combined sewers and a few sepa- rated storm sewers. The combined trunk sewers are equipped with overflow struc- tures that conduct excess flow during storm periods to Pyre Marquette Lake, which is connected to Lake Michigan. High infiltration flow continually dilutes the sanitary wastewater. The city has undertaken a sewer separation project, which will be carried out in a number of stages and which will eventually help in the control of extraneous flows. Wastewater flow and characteristics. The execution of the limited storm sewer separation project has already decreased the yearly average daily flow from 2.80 mgd (9,890 cu in/day) in 1971 to 2.1 mgd (7,950 cu m/day) for the first 8 months of 1973. Only 0.35 mgd (1,325 cu m/dny) of the daily average flow consists of rinse water from light metal working and plat - 1161 7'PiiosFHoiREMOVAL TABLE I. -Raw Waste Characteristics • Based on composite samples for 7 consecutive days. ing industries.

The observed characteristics, based on 24 -hr composite samples that were taken during typical high and low flow months, are presented in Table I. Plant facilities. The existing 0.75-mgd (2,840 -cu m/day) primary plant was built in 1939. Its location did not allow room for the construction of secondary facilities. The anaerobic digesters have been oc- casionally upset by accidental spills of heavy metals in the past. The enforce- ment of a recently adopted stringent sewer use ordinance has eliminated di- gester upsets caused by heavy metals, however.

These values are high in compari- son with normal primary plant effluent characteristics because of the presence of industrial wastewater. A pilot plant with the setup shown in Figure 1 was operated for about 8 wk during the summer of 1971. The pilot plant operating parameters and influent characteristics are summarized in Tables III and IV. Results. Chemical precipitations of phosphorus with the most widely used flocculating chemicals (ferric chloride, alum, and lime), with and without the use of an anionic polymer, were carried out to determine the optimum coagulant for ob- taining 80 percent or better phosphorus removal. The characteristics of the chem- ical sludge produced and the effectiveness of sludge recycle were also evaluated, and the optimum chemical flocculant was selected from the above studies. The average values of the observed re- sults obtained by using continuously com- posited samples are presented in Tables V and VI. DISCUSSION Phosphorus removal and sludge char- acteristics. The results obtained with ferric chloride and alum (presented in Table V) indicated that these chemicals were effective in precipitating the soluble phosphorus. The settling characteristics of the sludge were poor, however, and, is a result, insoluble metal phosphate pre- cipitates were carried over the outlet weir.

The results also indicated that if ferric chloride were used, a significant improve- ment in sludge settling characteristics could be expected with the use of a polymer. Total phosphorus removal with lime (Table VI) increased with an increased lime (CaO) dose of from 250 to 300 mg/l. For total phosphorus removal, the use of 0.5 mg/1 of an anionic polymer with lime was not as effective as it was with ferric chloride. The recycling of sludge at a rate of 12 gph (7.57 I/hr), or 2 percent of the influent flow, resulted in significantly higher soluble orthophosphorus and total phosphorus removals. A lime dose of 250 mg/1 with sludge recycle resulted in soluble orthophosphous and total phos- phorus removals of 93 and 95 percent, respectively. The sludge recycle also re- sulted in a more concentrated sludge with improved settling characteristics (a sludge volume index of 13). The sludge re- cycle, however, produced an effluent with a pH of 9.6.

Sludge odors and phosphorus releases. The organic matter in the sludge was mainly caused by large quantities of fresh water animals, such as Daphnia, which decomposed readily and resulted in foul odors. With a 3- to 4 -in. (7.62- to 10.16 - cm) layer of water over the settled sludge, however, the sludge odors were not ob- jectionable. A number of sludge samples, which were stored to determine changes in the sludge odor and sludge soluble ortho- phosphorus levels, indicated a significant reduction in foul odors when stirred after 4 wk. The stored sludge samples did not show a significant release of phosphorus. After 5 wk, the maximum soluble ortho- phosphorus observed in the stirred sludges was 5.2 mg/1. Selected flocculant and effluent benefac- tion. Phosphorus removal with the use of lime resulted in the lowest chemical cost of the three chemicals. A lime (CaO) dose of 150 mg/1 with the sludge recycle was recommended on the basis of the phosphorus removal and sludge character- istic data obtained in the pilot plant stud- ies. This lime dose also represents about 40 percent of the chemical costs with the use of optimum doses of ferric chloride or alum. The municipal water supply at Clare comes from wells and has a bicar- bonate alkalinity of about 250 mg/I as CaCOa. The city water at Ludington comes from Lake Michigan and has a bicarbonate alkalinity of approximately 130 mg/1. Because the lime dose increases with the increase in the alkalinity of water, it is estimated that the actual ]line dose at Ludington will be substantially less than 150 mg/1 as CaO. This lime dose resulted in nbout a 40 percent reduction in chemical oxygen de- mnnd (con), and the limited noo dnta indicated that over 40 percent Roar re- moval may easily be obtained. The ob- served removals of ammonin and organic nitrogen were generally between 5 and 10 percent. The observed average ss removal of 33 percent is expected to in- crease substantially, because the side wall 2700 Journal �I depth of the settling tank used in this pilot plait study was only 2.25 It (0,686 In). The total coliform count in the efflu- ent after lime precipitation decreased by over 85 percent. The chlorine demand of the aerated lagoon effluent, however, did not show any significant change after its treatment with lime. Ludington plant design. The waste- water treatment facilities for the city of Ludington, Nlich., were designed with the information gathered from the pilot plant studies. Because the chemical precipita- tion for phosphorus removal requires close operator attention, a number of design changes were made to obtain one shift operation of the phosphorus removal facili- ties. A flow diagram of the proposed facility, which has been under construc- tion since 1972, is shown in Figure 2. The facility is designed for an average daily flow of 2.5 mgd (9,470 cu m/day), with a maximum sustained flow of 7.5 mgd (28,410 cu In/day). The chemical precipitation units are sized for a flow rate of 7.5 mgd (28,410 cu m/day), and thus the treatment of 2.5 mil gal (9,470 cu nn) during a regular working day (8:00 Ant to 5:00 rat), with 30 min allowed for startup in the morning and 30 min for shutdown in the afternoon, is permitted. During the first years of operation, when the average flow is about 2.0 mgd (7,570 cu m/day), no discharge will he required on weekends. The treat- ment plait will therefore have to be at- tended only during normal working days, except on those days following a rainfall. It may then be necessary to run the units during more hours, because part of the Ludington wastewater collection system consists of combined servers. The plant is designed to provide service to the neighboring townships of Hamlin, Pere Marquette, and Amber, with an esti- mated 1990 combined population of 17,500. These communities are expected to be served sometime between 1975 and 1980. By that time, the city sewer separation project is expected to be complete, at least in the central portion of the city. The sewer separation program is expected to 4d, Bar Screen Degritter By Pass To Lagom Comms nutor Lagoon Pass F Chlorine — PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL Aerated Lagoon MI e2 Sludge 1 Decanting' Pipe r♦ � i Sludge r—�1-- Nbete Lagoon Outfall Sludge Serer Pere Marquette Dlffuser Rlver FIGURE 2.—Flow diagram of Ludington plant. be matched with the need for sewer service in these suburban communities. Thus, the hydraulic capacity recovered as a result of the control of inflows and infiltration will be available for these townships. The aeration equipment is sized for a 1990 daily noo load of 3,140 lb/day (1,- 425.56 kg/day) with provisions to add another blower and additional aeration tubing when the influent Boo load increases in the future. The aeration capacity pro- vided is adequate for the 1990 population equivalent for the city and townships. Tile upflow clarifies, provided for chemical Precipitation, are covered to prevent the formation of floating ice on the water surface during winter months. The clari- fier sludge scraper mechanisms and the sludge recycling will be kept in operation during off hours to prevent thermal strati- fication in the clarifiers. A summary of the design data for different components of the facility is presented in Table VII. liar screen, comminutor, degritter, lime slurry feeders, polymer feeders, waste sludge pumps, and chlorine feeding equipment are all designed for a peak daily flow of 7.5 mgd (4410 cu nn/day). Cost effectiveness. If there were no combined sewers, the lagoon effluent Pumps and upflow clarifier capacities needed for a three shift operation could be reduced to one-third of what has been provided in one shift operation design. The estimated savings in construction cost would have been $75,000 for a three shift operation design. At 6 percent interest, over the design period of 20 yr, this would have represented a savings of $6,530/yr. The estimated numbers of operating per- sonnel required for the proposed facility with one shift operation are five with com- bined sewers and four when the sewer separation project is completed. A similar facility with a three shift operation would have required six operators, however. Therefore, the estimated savings in annual cost of operators' wages and salary is $10,000 mill] sewer separation is complete, and a minimum of $20,000 after sewer separation, Therefore, the net annual savings estimated with one shift design are $10,000 minus $6,530 (principal and in- terest on $75,000), or $3,470 now, and at ]cast $13,470 after the sewer separation Project hIls been completed.

The 82 entries were judged in one of four categories: category A, research (11 entries); B, con- sultant services (16 entries); C, design services for projects with construction costs of $3 million or more (30 entries); and D, design services for projects with construction costs less than $3'million (25 entries). The Grand Conceptor went to Kramer, Chin & Mayo, Inc., Seattle, for the Seattle Aquarium, built at a cost of $5.3 million, with provision for expansion, the first man-made salmon run, and unusual viewing of the Puget Sound underwater environment. Fourteen other entries won Honor Awards and five of these involved environmental cleanup in one form or another. Two firms utilized spray irrigation of treated effluent. Williams & Works (with the Uni- versity of Michigan) demonstrated that a marsh could benefit from the treatment. The Dufresne - Henry Engineering Corp. design protects the deli- cate eco system of a ski resort town in Vermont. Two renovations also caught the judges' eyes: a church dating back to 1867 and a 50 -year-old high school, Loomis and Loomis braced the campanile and shored the nave roof of the Church of the Coud Shepherd in Hartford, Connecticut, while returning the interior to its original grandeur. Mission High School in San Francisco presented other problems for Shapiro, Okino, Hom and Associates — meeting seismic safety standards without altering architec- tural features. Two of the projects ore expected to have lasting impact on design. Shannon & Wilson and Agbabian Associates worked together to develop an in situ shear modulus method for evaluation and prediction ofsoil behavior during earthquakes. MEI-Charlton's analysis of a crack in an Oregon bridge has resulted in upgrading of official highway bridge standards. These are just a few examples of the special prob- lems and solutions that made these 15 projects ex- amples of engineering excellence. Each is described in detail on the following pages.

Concept, Research, Approval ... An Effluent Irrigation Project Houghton Lake Sewer Authority Williams & Works r In 1971, during the design of the Tri -Township treatment segment of the Houghton Lake area sewer system in Roscommon County, Michigan, the con. suiting fine determined that there was a possibility of obtaining a dual benefit from the disposal of treated effluent into a nearby marsh: § The extension of the treatment system into the natural irrigation area would save approximately $700,000 over the cost of a conventional irrigation area. § The application of the effluent might improve the productivity ofthe marsh area by increasing the food supply, which in turn would encourage the prolifera- �' tion of wildlife. At that time, there was no precedent for wetlands irrigation in Michigan. When the consulting firm presented the concept to it joint meeting of several governmental agencies in Lansing, state officials were not free to approve it because of the lack of solid data. However, scientists from the University of Michigan present at the meeting decided the method warranted further investigation. An applica- tion was filed for n National Science Foundation grant, which was approved under the Research Ap- plied to National Need program. r^ The U of M first examined the 2000 -acre marsh, which is located at the edge of thick woods. The marsh itself is a vast expanse of tall grass, wild flowers, and a few trees. Extensive water quality, tests were made to determine the type of surface waters in the swamp and the location and flow of groundwater sources. Tests indicated that the soils are of peat and deep muck. Clippings from every type of plant in 256 square meter areas and insect samples were collected. Next, a limited irrigation test program was con- ducted using wastewater in a very small area. When the plant and insect sampling was repeated, it was apparent that the irrigation had produced no adverse effects on the swamp. The organic deposits demonstrated excellent capabilities for the removal of nutrients without overloading. During 1975 and 1976, approximately 12.5 million gallons of water were applied and con- tinued favorable results were obtained. The primary source of concern is changes that might occur in the plant or animal life in the marsh. Documentation obtained from the analysis of plant cuttings and insects is of great importance, because the marsh is an extremely delicate eco system and any significant change or disturbance is reflected very quickly. The experience with the rushes is an example. Repeated trips from a small holding pond to the irrigation area wore a path through the marsh grass. In 1975, a wooden walkway was built and the path was used very little. In a few weeks, the path was completely overgrown, but with a significant difference. Instead of marsh grass, the new growth was a member of the rush specie found in the swamp; the disturbance caused by the path was still clearly discernible due to the change in the plants. There were similar examples, but the analysis of each experience indicated that the impact of the irrigation project was minimal. The marsh was not damaged; the only effect was that the plants Were somewhat larger and greener. This lack of negative impact led to the conclusion that irrigation oftreated effluent into the natural area was feasible. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has approved the full-scale operational use of the concept for expansion of the Houghton Lake sewer system as the method proved to be the most cost effective in the preparation of the Step 1 facilities plan. The Step 2 grant has been received and upon completion of the design, plans, and specifications, the expansion will be constructed with the assist- ance of Step 3 construction grants. The U of M research project and the consultant's workwerecom- pleted on time and within budget. Associated on the Project Dr. Robert 11.

Williams set up a practice in Gra Rapids with emphasis on surveying, railroa locations, drains, flow surveys for hydroelectric plants, land drainage design, roads,and prop- erty surveys. In 1923, W.B. Williams and Fred Works became a part of the organization. In 1924, Williams & Works was incorporated. Fall of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression and Williams & Works was not spared its effects. By July of 1931, staff was reduced to four officers. On the morning of July 28, Fred Works and D'Arcy Wernette were on their way to make a survc when their car was struck by a train, killing th both instantly. Their shares in the firm were pur- chased by the corporation, leaving T.O. Williams and his son, W.B., the only shareholders and the only employees. Today the firm is employee -owned with nearly half of all staff members owning stock. From this beginning, Williams _ & Works has become one of Michigan's larger consulting organi- zations, providing a diverse array of professional services to governmen- tal, private, and industrial clients nationwide. T. C. Williams, PE, RLS, grandson of the founder, is now Chairman of the Board and S. E. Williams, PE, a great-grandson, is also active in the firm. T.O. Williams F. D.

EDI Engineering & Science provides environ- mental consulting services to industrial clients with emphasis on services for the cleanup, treatment and disposal of toxic/hazardous materials. Services include hydrogeological investigations; environmental assessments; evaluation, design, and construction management for hazardous sub- stance remedial action projects; preparation of permit applications; development and implemen- tation of monitoring programs; and analytical ser- vices, A fully -equipped, EPA -certified analytical laboratory, as well as a soils laboratory, are main- tained. W & W Facilities Group serves primarily private and industrial clients, providing professional ser- vices for design and construction of new, and expansion of existing, commercial and industrial facilities. The staff provides a total services con- cept, from planning and environmental impact to site and soils evaluation; surveys; architectural design; structural, electrical, civil, and plant engineering; and construction or construction management. Although operating as separate entitles, person- nel from each company are able to be assigned to projects within the framework of the other com- panies as their special disciplines are required. We believe this form of organization maximizes the ability of the three firms to respond to client needs. We are able to place the most qualified pro- fessionals on the specific project, while minimizing costs by the sharing of corporate services. 161 I L i L IW./' DI IN M� Williams & Works' companies have provided profes- sional services to government and industry for more than 90 years.

Since the greatest possible savings can only be found in that which is to be constructed, we propose to thoroughly evaluate existing information, your goals, and current plans. The application of alternative plans and innovative wastewater concepts will be evaluated in depth. Then, with �d engineering alternatives selected, potential savings from alternative financing concepts and management, including privatization, will be evaluated. roach This approach pp to solvin g your dilemma has been used by Burns &McDonnell on previous projects as is noted in this proposal. As has been previously P.. introduced to you, the Burns S McDonnell Treatment System may be an innovative ialternative for you to consider. Actual bid prices received on six plants to =^ date are demonstrating construction cost savings. We have used, are using, or have developed other unique innovations as well. We look forward to being able to work with you to address these issues. Perhaps of most importance is our enthusiasm towards our work. We take the extra effort to work with our clients, to make them a key participant in the project solutions. We want to do the same with you. Sincerely, - �j'-� vu '�. L. Foil, P.E.

PROJECT TEAM • The scope of work as directed by the City consists of a study to evaluate alternative engineering and financing plans to meet the wastewater management needs of the City. The study portion of such a comprehensive i I, project requires limited primary staff participation. 3 Dams & McDonnell The previously referenced organization chart exhibits information regarding the project team and its structure. We have proposed direct involvement by only one subcontractor on the team, that being Hawkeye Engineering. Hawkeye Engineering, located in Coralville, will assist Burns & McDonnell in the development of engineering alternatives and cost evaluations. Their local presence will be crucial to meaningful evaluation of the engineering alternatives. They will ensure that the alternatives to be evaluated will be realistic in terms of that which can and cannot be done. The Project Organization exhibits "as -needed" support from three other firms; Encorp, First Boston and Government Management Corporation. These firms represent the construction, financing and management concerns of the team with which Burns & McDonnell pursues privatization projects. The proposed study is not likely to require their extensive participation; they may be called upon to provide general input, particularly as related to. financing of improvements and with evaluation of the privatization concept. 4. PREVIOUS TEAM PROJECTS Burns & McDonnell and Hawkeye Engineering have not worked together on previous projects, therefore no references can be provided. Burns & McDonnell has worked with Encorp, First Boston and GMC. Encorp is a sister firm of Burns & McDonnell both being in the Professional Services Division as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Armco Inc. We have teamed with each other for previous projects. First Boston provides financing to Armco for major projects - thus has worked with Armco and Encorp and, to a lessor extent, Burns & McDonnell. GMC and Burns & McDonnell has worked closely on previous and current privatization projects. We teamed to submit a proposal to Chandler, Arizona. We are currently involved in a smaller privatization effort for Lexington, Missouri. Since Encorp, First Boston and CMC are only ancillary to this study, no references are provided. 5.

Statement of Problem and Approach Coal The City of Iowa City has conducted planning for a long-term major construction program to meet the wastewater collection, conveyance, and treatment needs of the City and environs. This planning was done in the expectation of substantial grant assistance to finance construction. Now, prospects for such funding are effectively eliminated. The City continues to have valid wastewater construction needs thus must identify ways to meet those needs at reasonable cost. Our approach will require a reanalysis of the fundamental goals and assumptions of the City without "reinventing the wheel." We propose to perform a study which will review previously developed planning and reports, identify valid alternatives, investigate phasing; employ innovative engineering, process, construction and funding programs, and incorporate elements of innovative financing and privatization. The final goal of this effort will be to recognize the most practical management and engineering approach at a cost which is acceptable to the system user. 5 Burro & McDonnell .�.....�.,.�...�.,.�.

Statement of Problem and Approach Coal The City of Iowa City has conducted planning for a long-term major construction program to meet the wastewater collection, conveyance, and treatment needs of the City and environs. This planning was done in the expectation of substantial grant assistance to finance construction. Now, prospects for such funding are effectively eliminated. The City continues to have valid wastewater construction needs thus must identify ways to meet those needs at reasonable cost. Our approach will require a reanalysis of the fundamental goals and assumptions of the City without "reinventing the wheel." We propose to perform a study which will review previously developed planning and reports, identify valid alternatives, investigate phasing; employ innovative engineering, process, construction and funding programs, and incorporate elements of innovative financing and privatization. The final goal of this effort will be to recognize the most practical management and engineering approach at a cost which is acceptable to the system user. 5 Burro & McDonnell .�.....�.,.�...�.,.�. X161 I� J i� i� Our approach will involve an integrated engineering, management, and financing program to produce the best technically and economically balanced solution to the City's needs. b. Study Elements - Engineering Alternatives The most significant reductions in anticipated user costs are to be achieved through implementation of a Less costly engineering plan. To achieve a less costly engineering pian, our proposed approach will stress identification of the following: o prioritized City goals. o alternative I/I correction methods. o alternative interceptor sewer routings and sizings. o alternative treatment plant locations, processes and capacities. o phasing of improvements to reflect correction of priority problems and long-term goals. We would propose to rely heavily upon data developed by Veenstra & Kimm, therefore limiting the data gathering effort. We would, however, question and verify or revise assumptions made upon which existing proposals and improvement plans are based. Having reviewed all engineering and planning reports and defined or redefined the criteria around which the proposed improvements must be developed, our engineers would proceed to develop the engineering alternatives. We would identify alternatives for: correction of I/I; relief sewers, interceptor sewers, treatment plant locations and sizings, and in -plant process selections. The possibility of improving or expanding the existing trickling filter plant would be evaluated to meet both short- and long-term goals. Alternatives for phased construction, according to prioritized goals would be developed. The alternatives would be evaluated considering cost, environmental impact and ability to meet community objectives for the project. Alternatives developed by the study team would be evaluated with those alternatives identified to date. Appropriate recommendations would be made. c. Study Elements - Financing Having identified the least cost engineering alternative, we would then evaluate alternative financing methods. Financing options, of course, would include consideration of federally supported loans and/or grants; and municipal revenue, general obligations and industrial development bonds. Private financing would also be considered. The concept of privatization would be extensively evaluated to reflect the variety of privatization concepts. The institutional impact of privatization on the City would necessarily be considered. Options for sale -lease back, total private ownership and management/operation, and private ownership/public operation would be included. 6 Burns & MrponnaO The impact of alternative financing methods on user costs would be investigated and presented for consideration. We believe that privatization offers significant potential to reduce user costs — those savings must be logically expressed and presented for consideration by the City. d. Study Element — Public Interface Progressive public participation in the alternative evaluation program would be coordinated through City government unless otherwise desired. Our approach is compatible with any level of public pparticipation desired by the City. We must be able to explore and evaluate the needs as viewed by the community to provide alternatives which satisfy the public's demand for acticn. e. Reports Burns & McDonnell would provide the appropriate reports, exhibits and displays as required by the City. Our report would include detailed descriptions of facilities, cost estimates, site requirements, sewer charges, and financing methods. We would participate and/or direct public or council presentations regarding interim status reports and final report presentation. 8. MBE/WBE TEAM MEMBERS For the alternative study, we expect no participation by minority or women's business enterprises on a subcontract basis. Of course, Burns & McDonnell is an equal opportunity employer and has minority and women staff members, some of which can and may contribute to the project. As a project progresses into design and construction phases, opportunities for MBE and WBE team members exist. Burns & McDonnell supports and encourages such participation and would expect such participation on your project. 9. COMPLETED PRIVATIZATION PROJECTS — 5 YEARS Burns & McDonnell and its direct or ancillary team members are not presently participating in any completed privatization projects. We are pursuing such projects and have competed for several including the Chandler, Arizona and Auburn, Alabama privatization efforts. We are currently in the "public participation" process in Lexington, Missouri for privatization of their wastewater system. Lexington is facing construction of secondary treatment facilities and interceptor sewers to replace an old primary plant (design flow of 0.75 mgd). The previous engineering proposals recommended nearly $13 million in new construction. Burns & McDonnell conducted a study of lower cost alternatives, including privatization, which reduced initial construction costs to $4.6 million. Cost reductions were accomplished through a reduction in design capacities and interceptor construction and by maximum use of existing facilities. 7 Burns & MrVanna!! :— I J ill i i i i i The impact of alternative financing methods on user costs would be investigated and presented for consideration.

Burns & McDonnell is teamed with Government Management Corporation for the Lexington project. Mayor Ed Lee at (816) 259-4633 may be contacted to discuss the project and our involvement. 10. INNOVATIVE MUNICIPAL PROJECTS Burns & McDonnell has relied upon innovative solutions to complex problems to give projects the best chance to move forward and meet client needs. Innovation in engineering, funding, and construction techniques have been placed into practice to save clients money and bring projects to completion on schedule. Following is a discussion of pertinent municipal wastewater projects and the innovations employed. a. Sedalia, Missouri; 2.5 mgd Trickling Filter STP. Contact Robert Cunningham, Director of Public Works (816) 827-3000 Trickling filters, of course, are not innovative. In the mid 1960s, the development of plastic media to be used in trickling filters certainly was an innovation at the time. Burns & McDonnell was among the first engineering firms to specify the use of plastic media trickling filters in municipal wastewater treatment. Sedalia's 2.5 mgd treatment plant continues to operate using the plastic media trickling filter system. b. Little Blue Valley Sewer District, Jackson County Missouri Contact James Hess, Administrator, (816) 796-7660 This major client has presented Burns & McDonnell with many challenges similar to those facing Iowa City. The project required application of unique and innovative concepts, funding and management techniques to solve a very complex and expensive problem. It is pertinent to review Burns & McDonnell's service to the District, in light of Iowa City's special needs. Burns & McDonnell was retained by the Little Blue Valley Sewer District upon the District's formation in 1969. The District was formed by act of the Missouri State Legislature to provide a regional wastewater conveyance treatment system to eliminate sewage treatment effluent discharges to the Little Blue River. Eleven major suburban communities and two federal installations discharged inadequately treated effluent to the Little Blue River. At the passage of National Environmental Policy Act, the river had been designated by the State of Missouri as a no -discharge stream. The newly formed District was confronted with having no tangible assets, ownership of no wastewater conveyance or treatment facilities and the task of providing a regional sewage district serving a 238 -square -mile basin having a total population of 250,000 persons. Burns & McDonnell established ahp ased intercepter and treatment facility construction program which was designed to connect the largest population areas to the 0 Burns & McDonnell District facilities as quickly as possible. The phased construction program required innovative financing procedures to be established such that the bonds to be sold for financing the local cost of the project would be acceptable to the project's investors. a Burns & McDonnell's management (Paul Andrews) participated extensively in acquisition of the necessary financing. The plan was accepted by the financing authority, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State of Missouri and the constituent public such that in 1986 the area -wide wastewater collection and treatment facilities will consist of 30 miles of main stem interceptors ranging from 126 -inch to 72 -inch diameter sewers and some 33 miles of branch interceptors. Treatment facilities consist of one Fy 500 -MCD pump station, a 40 -MCD innovative treatment facility, and two tiJI 20 -MCD interim treatment facilites. As the only consulting engineer providing services to the District, Burns & McDonnell has performed comprehensive financial and engineering planning services to the District for the project. These services have included wastewater facility planning, financial studies, engineering design, preparation of plans and specifications, bidding consultation and administrative services, construction inspection and monitoring, operation assistance, operator training, start-up services, pilot testing services and most recently, full -scope construction management services for the construction of the 40 -MCD wastewater treatment facility. Highlighted services that Burns & McDonnell has provided to the District include the design of several innovative treatment and interceptor concepts not previously accomplished in the wastewater engineering industry. These include the design of subaqueous interceptor sewers beneath proposed Corps of Engineers' major flood control reservoirs and the development of a treatment process involving intrachannel clarification (patented) in the oxidation ditch treatment process. Burns & McDonnell also developed a full-scale public participation program which results in unusually comprehensive public support for the financing and continued construction of the wastewater treatment works. Particularly remarkable is the fact that a major metropolitan regional sewage agency has developed from a nonexistant entity in the early 1970s to a complete, operating facility in 1984. Initial cost estimates for the completed regional district exceeded $250 million. However, by incorporating effective construction management, innovative conveyance and treatment processes and program management as developed by Burns & McDonnell and implemented by the District, the total cost of the facilities is expected to be approximately $180 million. Following are some examples of problems which arose during the Little Blue Valley Sewer District development and a description of the actions taken by _ Burns & McDonnell. These resultling solutions represent significant milestones in the District's development. In many cases, millions of dollars were saved and the successful and timely completion of an individual project resulted. I I 9 Bums & MrponnQ11 (1) The Corps of Engineers planned to construct major flood control reservoirs on the Little Blue River and one major tributary. The reservoirs would isolate significant land areas (square miles in area) from direct gravity service. The alternative of pumping around the reservoirs was prohibitively expensive. Burns & McDonnell concluded that it was most cost-effective and environmentally sound to maintain gravity service by constructing sewers below the reservoirs. Construction of the reservoirs was to be initiated in 1978 and 1979. Burns & McDonnell worked with the Corps of Engineers for ►J over two years to get approval to design subaqueous interceptors. This was the first time the Corps allowed construction of gravity sewers beneath new reservoirs. Numerous reports and presentations were required. The final approvals were made by the Corps of Engineers in Washington, D.C. Construction of the subaqueous interceptors is completed under the Blue Springs Reservoir and nearing completion under the Longview Reservoir. - Construction has not delayed the development of the reservoirs. I� I (2) The District and Burns & McDonnell was concerned with the potential for fixed or noncompetitive bid prices for precast -concrete pipe for interceptor installations. Over 50 miles of large -diameter interceptor was to be constructed over an eight-year period. Considerable savings could be available if the most competitive interceptor prices could be ensured. Burns & McDonnell developed alternatives to precast -concrete pipe. On the first several contracts, a cast -in-place conduit was designed and offered in the Bid Document as an alternative. It was chosen by the Contractor on one contract. On another contract, where significant quantities of low -load pipe installed in rock tunnels were required, asphalt -lined corrugated steel pipe was offered as an alternative. This alternative was chosen where allowed. On two very Large contracts (30,000 If each), pipe supply contracts were bid separately from the installation contract. This allowed the Owner to receive the lowest pipe price and the lowest installation bid. Finally, on a 30,000-1f, large -diameter (up to 126 -inch) interceptor contract, Burns & McDonnell determined that construction of the interceptor utilizing tunnel procedures was feasible. The entire contract was designed and bid with two alternative construction procedures and final products - open -cut with precast pipe and tunnel with cast -in-place lining. A combination of the open -cut and tunnel alternatives was the low bid with an "all -tunnel" bid as second Low. (3) The District was faced with a 20 -MCD (design flow) interim treatment plant having an average flow of 25 MCD and a peak flow of over 60 MGD. EPA and MDNR were unable to commit $55 million for construction of a proposed new 40 MGD treatment facility. Funding agencies indicated that it would only be possible to fund $30 million over a several -year period. 10 ayums&Mhi onn¢II I0 i Burns & McDonnell proposed alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment including an innovative process known as the Burns & McDonnell Treatment Process (BMTS) that reduced the 40 -MGD treatment facilities estimated cost to $22 million. In addition, Burns & McDonnell prepared the plant design with overlay drafting and computer-assisted design (CAD) to allow construction management techniques to be used to meet the phased funding requirements ($22 million over 4 years). The first contract bid was a large enough portion of the project to allow for treatment and sludge handling for 10-15 MCD so as to relieve the interim facility and allow it to operate within its design capacity. The complete treatment works should be in operation by 1986. BMTS as an innovative waste treatment technology is rapidly gaining a track record of cost reduction. To date, six projects throughout the U.S. have been bid using BMTS technology. Construction cost savings have been impressive with the average cost for the BMTS basins, complete with equipment, being less than $0.50 per gallon capacity in the 2- to 10 -MGD capacity range. Additional BMTS information is attached at the end of this text. (4) The District was faced with sizing interceptor sewers for a Large sparsely populated district that was expected to rapidly develop in the next 20-40 years. Burns & McDonnell developed a plan to provide capacity for ultimate development without requiring the District to construct additional, larger sewers in the future. At the same time, present taxpayers and District customers did not have to pay for large sewers capable of handling ultimate flows by gravity. Burns & McDonnell sized sewers to handle normal and peak flows for the next 20 years by gravity (no lift stations except at treatment plant) and to handle normal flow by gravity at ultimate development. A plan was developed for future construction of two pump stations on the main interceptor to surcharge the line to convey peak flows to the treatment facility. This interceptor plan was approved by the EPA and MDNR. (5) The newly formed District was faced with no capital, no revenues and the need to pass bond issues that would allow for the commencement of construction of a $250 million collection and treatment facility. Burns & McDonnell developed a plan for construction of an interim treatment facility (initial capacity 5 MGD) and interceptors in the most populated and developed portions of the District so as to begin treating flow where needs were greatest and to allow the District to begin generating revenue at the earliest possible date. Burns & McDonnell assisted the District in presentations on Wail Street to convince investors of the financial soundness of the District's plans. Burns & McDonnell also developed the — District's customer agreements that were needed to assure investors of revenue to operate and pay local share costs. 11 Burns & McDonnell r¢C k f I J I i 'J i i Burns & McDonnell proposed alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment including an innovative process known as the Burns & McDonnell Treatment Process (BMTS) that reduced the 40 -MGD treatment facilities estimated cost to $22 million.

Indications were that aerobicly digested or oxidation ditch sludge did not meet standards that EPA was developing for land -applied sludges. Burns & McDonnell diligently pursued a ruling from MDNR and EPA on approval to land apply oxidation ditch sludge. Burns & McDonnell and MDNR performed several months of testing of sludge from the demonstration plant (oxidation ditch with BMTS). The project staff met with the EPA -Municipal Environmental Research Lab in Cincinnati, Ohio, on three occasions in one year to determine the basis of the proposed regulations. The results of the testing and these meetings were that EPA will require aerobicly digested or oxidation ditch sludges to be stored 45-60 days prior to land application. Burns & McDonnell reevaluated the District's treatment process and determined that the Landfilling of dewatered sludge was significantly more cost-effective than land application, if storage is required. It was also determined that if sludge was Landfilled, the aeration time and sludge age could be reduced significantly since stabilization would not be necessary. Significant cost savings and construction time savings were thus achieved. c. Independence, Missouri 7.5 MGD Treatment Plant Contact Dick Champion Jr., Director Water Pollution Control Dept. (816) 252-4591 In the early 1970s, Burns & McDonnell designed a complete mix activated sludge plant for the City of Independence. Included in the process train was an innovative sludge incineration process, the Zimpro Heat Treatment System. This system serves the City with remarkable efficiency with the able direction of the operating staff. The department and City management have taken a progressive approach to management of the wastewater utility. They are actively marketing the capability of the fluidized bed incinerator as a hazardous waste incinerator. Based upon the flexibility of the design of the plant and incinerator facilities, the City is able to exercise this innovative application of a municipal wastewater treatment works. 11. WORK SCHEDULE The chart on the next page presents our estimate of a reasonable schedule according to our proposed project approach. As evidenced by the schedule, we believe the submittal of the final report by April 1, 1985 is certainly realistic. Our schedule indicates that EPA and IDEQ approval of the project by April 1, 1985 is feasible. 12. PROPOSAL CONTACT James L.

The system consists of approximately 15,000 meters of sewers, five lift stations, treatment lagoons and evaporation ponds. Outlying areas were served by individual septic tanks and soil adsorption fields. Little Blue Valley Sewer District, Jackson and Cass Counties, MO The Little Blue Valley Sewer District was chartered In 1968 as a vehicle for locally achieving the national goals for water quality set forth in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended. Waste effluents removal from the Little Blue River will be handled on a watershed basis, with eventual conveyance of all municipal and industrial wastewater from the designated service area to a single point for treatment and direct discharge to the Missouri River. Burns & McDonnell developed and evaluated a 1.1 mgd demonstration plant (BMTS) as a step toward final design of the permanent treatment facilities. Based on the successful results of the demonstration plant, the project was declared Innovative by U.S. EPA and is therefore receiving maximum grant funding. Final design of the 40 mgd permanent treatment facility is complete, and consists of a screen house, BMTS, sludge thickening and storage, sludge dewatering, and a peak flow holding basin. The first contract for the treatment facility is presently under construction, and the construction of the 160 mgd pump station is nearing completion. The District's service area consists of the Little Blue River, Lazy Branch and Mill Creek watersheds which contain 238 square miles in Jackson and Cass Counties. District facilities will serve all or parts of eleven municipalities and two federal government Installations, with a 1990 forecast population of 258,000. Following extensive planning and financing studies by Burns & McDonnell, a three-phase construction program was initiated in May of 1972. Major features of the project Include: —An Interceptor approximately 30 miles in length ranging from 72 inches to 126 inches in diameter on the main stem and Including subaqueous sections beneath two proposed flood control reservoirs and dams. —Construction of 33 miles of branch Interceptor sewers and 41 sewage metering structures for pickup of tributary drainages and appropriate user charge allocation. —Drainage and abandonment of seven waste stabilization lagoons, and abandonment of two existing municipal wastewater treatment plants. —Construction of an activated sludge process Interim 20 mgd treatment facility located approximately 6.5 miles from the permanent wastewater treatment plant site at the Missouri River. [turns & McDonnell 1 Municipal Wastewater Treatment & Collection Facilities (continued) —Construction of permanent secondary wastewater treatment facilities of initial 40 mgd capacity, and a 160 mgd pump station. Studies have been made for integrated disposal by burning of treatment plant sludge and area -wide municipal solid waste. Consideration has also been given to possible utilization of plant effluent as cooling or Industrial process water. Scheduled for completion in 1986, the three-phase project will have a total estimated construction cost of $250,000,000. Sal Kung District Junk Bay Development Office Hong Kong The Sal Kung District is responsible forthe collection, treatment and disposal of all wastewaters generated within its boundaries. Burns & McDonnell evaluated alternatives and prepared recommendations for the management of wastewater systems to serve various scattered villages, commercial and Industrial establishments. The program consists of the construction of a 4.4 mgd secondary wastewater treatment facility with ocean outfall, land disposal of stabilized sludge, and a three-phase collection system construction Program. Estimated construction cost for the program Is approximately $17,000,000. Final design Is currently underway and construction will begin in the near future. Independence, Mo Burns & McDonnell prepared detailed studies of the wastewater collection and treatment needs for the Rock Creek and Sugar Creek watersheds comprising 14 square miles In the City of Independence. Following the plan developed in the studies, new trunk and Interceptor sewers were constructed at a cost of $2,800,000. Pumping facilities and a new 7.5 mgd secondary wastewater treatment plant utilizing the activated sludge process complete the area -wide sewerage requirement. The new treatment plant, which features provisions for treating wet weather peak flows exceeding plant hydraulic capacity and Incineration as the means for sludge disposal, has a total construction cost of $16,000,000. A large Interceptor in the Sugar Creek watershed presented unique planning and design considerations since Its alignment required construction through a petroleum refinery.

I Sedalia, MO h J 7 i i J Since 1910 Burns & McDonnell has served as consultants on development of wastewater collection and treatment for the City of Sedalia. Comprehensive master planning resulted In a large, multiphase Improvement program. New Interceptors and trunk sewers and expansion of the three wastewater treatment plants serving older sections of the City have been constructed with an expenditure of $2,500,000. An interesting feature, and one of the first such applications In municipal treatment, was the use of plastic media for trickling filters. Additional improvements at a total cost of $1,200,000 comprised Interceptors, sewers, and treatment facilities for the developing southwest portion of the City, as well as use of gunite lining in rehabilitation of an older, combined flow sewer of brick construction. A 201 Facilities Plan evaluating alternative wastewater collection and treatment systems to upgrade overloaded sewers and treatment facilities and sewer service rale study was recently completed. Final design of the recommended $9,000,000 improvement program Is completed and construction will begin in the near future. U.S. Naval Station, Guam, Mariana Islands The existing Apra Harbor wastewater treatment facilities, operated by the Navy Public Works Center and serving the US Naval Station and US Naval Communication Area Master Station, were Improved and upgraded for greater operational flexibility and efficiency. Burns & McDonnell, in association with Trans -Asia Engineering Associates, were responsible for design of modifications to the 3.2 mgd primary plant Including new screening and flow measuring structures and equipment, increased sludge dewatering capacity, and an Improved disinfection facility. Other work included design of gravity sewers serving portions of the Naval Station. The construction cost of the sewerage improvements was $2,200,000. Branson, MO A comprehensive study of wastewater collection and treatment was completed in 1971 for this resort community in the Missouri Ozarks. Close proximity to several recreational lakes results in unusually high seasonal loading and necessitates a high- quality effluent. The study Included Investigation of a regional facility to serve other adjacent communities In addition to Branson. Subsequent to the study, construction was Initialed for expansion of treatment plant capacity, and an Improvement BUMS &�McDonmll ll6l ■ Municipal Wastewater Treatment & Collection Facilities (continued) program was developed for construction of Interceptor sewers and extension of the existing collection system. Estimated construction cost for these Improvements is $7,000,000. A 201 Facilities Plan was recently completed which includes the City of Branson and a portion of Taney County west of Branson. This study evaluated alternative wastewater collection and treatment systems to serve this rapidly developing area. District of Columbia The Potomac Interceptor serves an area of 380 square miles In suburban Virginia and Maryland. The service area has a potential population of 512,000 and Includes Dulles International Airport. Burns & McDonnell completed a planning report for the Interceptor In 1960 which was followed by design and construction. The construction cost of sewers designed by Burns & McDonnell was $14,000,000. In 1966 a planning study was completed for storm drainage relief In the Capitol Hill area of the District. The recommended plan called for 23,400 feet of conduit ranging from 2 to 18 feet in diameter in a completely developed area of the City, and design has been undertaken by the District. Estimated construction costs were $24,000,000. A similar study was completed In 1958 on storm drainage relief for 2,100 acres In northeast Washington. The plan developed called for 26,000 feet of mainline sewers up to 18 feet in diameter and 18,000 feet of branch lines at a total estimated cost of $33,000,000. Trenton, MO Commencing in 1972, Burns & McDonnell performed master planning of wastewater collection and treatment facilities for the City of Trenton which Included comprehensive analyses of major industrial discharges and service charge evaluations. For example, wastes from a large food processor produced unique treatment problems owing to their high strength and volume. Along with Industrial discharges, elimination of excessive stormwater Inflow sources to the system represented key considerations in design of facilities to expand treatment plant capacity and Improvements to the wastewater collection system. As a result of these studies, new Interceptors and a 1.9 MGD wastewater treatment facility were designed. Construction of the new facilities was recently completed for a total cost of $1,823,000. Government of Guam Burns & McDonnell, In association with Trans -Asia Engineering Associates, prepared final design and contract documents for wastewater treatment and collection facilities to serve the scenic villages of Umatac and Merizo. One secondary wastewater treatment facility serves both towns and features land application for final effluent disposal. The construction costs for the wastewater treatment facilities, 40,000 feet of sewers and pump stations, was $4,600,000. Ourm 6 McDonnell / /^ 1 "'I J Municipal Wastewater Treatment & Collection Facilities (continued) Kansas City, KS Burns & McDonnell was selected by the City of Kansas City, Kansas, to prepare 201 Facilities Plans for three planning areas within the City. These areas encompass approximately 25 square miles with one-third of the total area served by combined sewers. Alternative collection and storm water collection systems are being evaluated In the plans. Wastewater flow monitoring was utilized to determine Infiltration/inflow quantities to the system. In each planning area, cost-effective analyses were conducted to compare the reduction of Infiltration /Inflow with providing additional capacity for transporting and treating 1/1. In one of the planning areas a detailed sanitary sewer evaluation survey Is being conducted. In a fourth, 8- square-mlle area, Burns & McDonnell also completed the design of 50,000 feet of sanitary sewers with an estimated construction cost of $4,800,000. Moberly, MO Several studies on portions of the wastewater collection and treatment system have been prepared since 1965, and Burns & McDonnell has developed master planning for wastewater facilities In unsewered sections of the City. Modifications on two existing secondary treatment plants of 1.7 mgd and 0.8 mgd capacity were completed In 1975 In order to satisfy federal and state effluent requirements. Costs of these Improvements and new interceptor sewers were approximately $1,000,000. A 201 Facilities Plan was recently prepared to evaluate alternative wastewater collection and treatment systems to serve City growth. Burns & McDonnell recently completed design of 30,000 feet of sanitary sewers to serve unsewered sections of the City. The Improvements were recently constructed at a cost of $491,000. Blue Springs, MO Burns & McDonnell performed detailed studies of the wastewater collection needs fora portion of Blue Springs located Immediately upstream of a major recreational lake presently under construction. The facility plan studied alternatives for eliminating six existing wastewater lift stations and one wastewater treatment facility. Design of MOOD feet of interceptors to eliminate the lift stations was recently completed. Basehor, KS In association with Martell and Associates, studies of the existing wastewater collection and treatment facilities were performed to determine needed improvements for compliance with current NPDES permit requirements and future growth.

A ;l Water Systems Needs assessment and long-range master planning on both municipal and regional scales are areas in which Burns & McDonnell has proven expertise. Staff engineers and geologists are practiced in evaluating and analyzing ground and surface water sources prior to design of supply and treatment systems. Ranging from simple disinfection of well water to single- and multiple -stage purification works, these systems feature the latest in treatment techniques and process innovations. We also emphasize ease of operation and maintenance, energy conservation, efficiency, and environmental aesthetics in our supply, treatment, i distribution, and storage facilities. F j Municipal Wastewater Systems Our wastewater specialists assist in both technical and administrative aspects of wastewater facility planning, design, and construction. Constantly changing federal and state legislation, regulations, and grant programs are closely monitored for effects on our clients and their projects. Our engineers are well versed in waste treatment management concepts for watershed — as well as multi -county regional situations. Collection systems emphasize energy conservation and low operating and maintenance costs. We apply the best practicable technology to the engineering of not only simple lagoon systems but also mechanical treatment works + required by more complex wastes in urban areas. i Industrial Wastewater Systems Our major efforts are directed toward treatment or pretreatment of chemically complex industrial wastes. Targeted for strict regulatory control, these wastes are often either destructive to or unaffected by biological treatment systems when combined with the normal domestic wastewater stream. Conservation and recycling of process water as well as recovery of — chemicals and heavy metals are principal considerations in providing cost-effective services. Our aim is to provide environmental protection measures while causing minimal impact to the —( corporate balance sheet. — Solid Waste Management Systems for handling, processing, and disposing of municipal refuse and other waste substances are the province of our solid waste experts. We have worked with several disposal options, including bulk disposal in sanitary and secured landfills as well as incineration systems. In addition to refuse and hazardous waste management, our experience extends to waste residues from agricultural, commercial, and industrial processes; water and wastewater treatment plants; and air pollution control systems. +` Resource Recovery Systems Energy conservation and recycling have become watchwords in the face of escalating prices and operating costs. At Burns & McDonnell, all feasible conservation, recovery, and reuse features are designed into projects from the initial concept phase. Recovery and reuse of materials and extraction of energy from solid waste streams are top priorities. A concerted effort is also made to recycle process water and reuse chemicals and heavy n metals recovered during treatment of wastewater.

This meant municipal and industrial wastes, even treated efflu- ent, could no longer be discharged into the river channel or its tri- butaries. For the eleven municipalities, two counties, and two federal installa- tions that were using the river as an effluent outlet, this ruling meant one thing—expensive, new collection and secondary treatment facilities that none of them could individually afford. To meet the new clean water reg- ulations the local governments and the federal installations combined efforts and formed a sewer district. Based on a watershed approach to water quality management, the Little Blue Valley Sewer District was or- ganized in 1968. The District's goal was to collect and transport all wastewater within its 238 square mile watershed area to a treatment plant near the Mis- souri River. This required a 35 -mile long interceptor that would tie into existing discharge points, and an interim plant to treat wastes until the 40 million gallon per day (mgd) permanent plant could be com- pleted. From the project's inception, Burns & McDonnell has been in- volved in planning, design, and con- struction management. A major obstacle facing the new District was raising its local share of matching funds. The project was estimated to cost over 5270 million, and the District had no financial his- tory upon which to rely. Working closely with the District, Burns & McDonnell helped devise a number of special funds in the financial plan which were instrumental in obtain- ing a favorable bond rating to attract investors, and in the sale of bond issues totaling S55 million. The approach to facility develop- ment also interested potential inves- tors. Instead of starting construction at the treatment plant and proceeding upstream, an interim treatment 4l plant was built and interceptor sys- tem work was begun in the middle of the watershed. This was where the first service contract signer, the City of Independence, was located. By providing services based on popu- lation density, the District was able to bring large wastewater flows on line and to generate substantial ser- vice revenues at the earliest possible date. 164 -inch Diameter Rib and Lagging Tunnel on main stem interceptor 20 told Interim Wastewater Treatment Plant L L r Burns & McDonnell developed a three-phase construction program which got underway in 1972. Some features of this program are: —an interceptor approximately 35 miles in length ranging from 24 -inches to 126 -inches in dia. meter, including 30,000 feet of 126 -inch diameter concrete pipe installed by both open curt and tunnel boring/rib and lag- ging operations; —dual side-by-side interceptors — with subaqueous manholes installed tinder two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs, a precedent for Corps lakes; —a low-cost interim treatment facility that utilizes a unique layout.

We have designed nearly all the present treatment facil- ities, major transmission mains, and the distribution system storage facil- ities, and have monitored operations, performed studies, and designed facility improvements. The BPU's Quindaro Water Pro- cessing Plant is located at the Quin- daro Bend of the Missouri River— the same site chosen for the original treatment plant built in 1881. Over the years the plant has been expanded and modified many times and is now a 60 million gallon per day (mgd) facility that provides sedi- mentation, filtration, and disin- fection. Beginning in the 1930's and con- tinuing over the next 20 years, Burns & McDonnell designed the filter building, chemical feed building, and high -duty pump station. After an extensive study, a 20 mgd expan- sion to the 40 mgd Quindaro Plant was completed in the 1970's. Our design modified existing facilities and added new ones.

To complement this latest increase in the plant capacity, other projects provided for expansion and modifi- cation of the water distribution sys- tems and booster pump stations. Specific projects included: —Water Supply Main -5,200 linear feet of 24 -inch diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipe; —Water Transmission Dlains- 50,000 linear feet of 36 -inch diameter and 18,000 linear feet of 42 -inch diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipe; —Water Distribution Stations— planning, design, and construc- tion inspection for a 16 mgd pump station, a four million gallon circular prestressed con- crete reservoir, and capacity expansions to two existing pump stations, In 1979, a [eater processing master plan was prepared, prompted by the need for additional water processing capacity due to increased water de. nand. The final recommendation was for planning of a new 100 mgd plant to he constructed in stages be- ginning with a 40 ntgd module. water transrnissiort main to file Qui rdaro Water Processing Plant Included were proposed methods for turbidity removal, taste and odor control, prevention of trihalo- methane (THM) formation, and control of synthetic organics. This master plan addressed site location, space requirements, flood protec- tion, sludge disposal, and life cycle costs. Also included was a complete review of the existing 60 mgd plant and site. A full-scale flow test was done to determine the limit of the plant's hydraulic capabilities. Disin- fection processes were tested to determine the most effective method for controlling THNI formation, and a study was undertaken to deter- mine site accommodation to the in- stallation of carbon contactors and sludge disposal facilities. Even though the source of the Kansas City, Kansas water supply, the Missouri River, is one of the most turbid streams in the United States, the BPU's treatment facilities have never failed to deliver adequate and wholesome potable water con- forming to Kansas sanitary standards for municipal water supplies.

Burns & McDonnell's chal. lenge was to design and manage construction of a water reuse system that would take advantage of existing water availability, pump, and piping systems. An integrated steel mill, the Armco Kansas City Works produces a va- riety of steel products on a site near snrle, rrrunral1,tml,11,11 rrduCH011 i1, i iprrlHvr ofpro, ess"Wer 11, (,-.•111111 nils.' the confluence of the Blue and Mis- souri Rivers. The existing water sys- tem included an intake on the Blue River, a pump station, and a distri- bution system that carried process water to the five major mill areas. Spent mill water was discharged to scale pits where large particles settled out and free floating oil was removed by rope skimmers. Scale pit effluent and spent furnace cooling water were discharged to the Blue River. Al ill prun•ss eraser is piped m andf rmn treannent facility in separate bansmission lines Rerirndated leaser provides equipment Newly adopted federal and Mis- souri water pollution regulations re- quired that existing discharges be treated to significantly higher qual- ity. The recirculating, reuse system designed by Burns & McDonnell in- cludes collection of the scale -laden oily wastes by a common piping sys- tem -and treatment at a common holding pond where particulates set- tle out, the oil is allowed to float, and cooling occurs. A small fraction of the cooled and clarified pond effluent is discharged to the Blue River. The majority of the effluent is pumped back to the production areas for reuse. Since all production processes do not require high quality water, sev- eral local recirculation and reuse systems were provided at the indi- vidual mills. Effluent from the mill area scale pits and the spent furnace cooling water are returned to the lPasrr qualitt• is checked regubr y to determine fficienryof the treatment process production areas by newly construc- ted pump stations and pipe systems. The Kansas City Works added a new melting, casting, and break- down mill concurrently with the construction of the pollution control facilities. This production facility, which was also designed by Bums & McDonnell, added another major water consuming and wastewater generating branch to the common supply and wastewater collection systems. New recirculation facilities were easily integrated with the origi- nal design. Again, furnace and other non -contact waters are reused in a local recirculation system. Spent spray water and flume flush waters pass through scale pits prior to being pumped to the common treatment facility. Altogether, the newly installed pollution control facilities at the Kansas City Works have reduced the high volume of mill water dis- charges to a single, low volume, high quality discharge; included exist- ing pump mid piping systems in the collection and reuse systems when- ever possible; and extended and im- proved the mill water supply piping system. City of Sedalia LOCATION: Sedalia, Missouri DESCRIPTION: Sanitary and Industrial Landfills _. FEATURES: Single site development Leachate and drainage control Groundwater monitoring program The City of Sedalia purchased two adjoining tracts of land consist- ing of 80 and 160 acres, respectively. ti The 80 -acre plot was already in use as a landfill and the remaining area was designed to be filled when the first was completed, The surrounding area is primarily agricultural, and the Burns & Mc- Donnell design took care to prevent any possibility of leaching of waste- water into the groundwater or near- by Brushy Creek, To further protect water quality, the bottom of the ex- cavated area was kept well above the stream and groundwater levels. As the landfill is completed, a final soil cover is put in place and a mixture of native grass seeds is planted to restore the area's natural appearance. A special problem was a 100 -foot wide access easement for main. reliance of a high-voltage transmis. sion line. Because it bisected the site, it was necessary to develop a plan to conform with the utility clearance requirement and yet make maximum use of the area. Aker consideration of several alternatives, it was decided to construct one lift with final cover in the easement. This would raise the existing ground elevation approximately five feet, which would require raising two transmission poles a corresponding height. The rise maintained the required clearance allowing a maxi- mum volume of refuse to be placed within the easement. Solid Waste opera"' plan Working with the Missouri De- partment of Natural Resources, a small portion of the landfill was set aside to be used for the disposal of wastes from a manufacturing plant. Wells were drilled around the site both to monitor the groundwater and to determine the location of bedrock. The upstream wells pro. vided samples for background data— the wells downstream for ground - Water passing under the site. Water samples were routinely collected from these monitoring wells and analyzed. State of Missouri require. ments were met and an operating Permit to use the landfill was granted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. LOCATION: Missouri City, Missouri DESCRIPTION: Hazardous waste and sanitary landfills FEATURES: Extensive subsurface exploration Spray irrigation treatment Leachate collection and treatment system Burns & McDonnell first became involved in this project during the redesign and expansion of an exist- ing hazardous waste disposal site. The design included three separate disposal areas with two sludge trenches and a large embankment for containment of chemically sta- bilized and solidified liquid waste. An extensive subsurface and hydrogeologic investigation was performed to determine the depth of bedrock, types of soil, and ground- water conditions at the site. The subsurface investigation, performed in several phases, included 30 soil borings and numerous laboratory analyses for moisture content, dry density, Atterburg limits, grain size, permeability, unconfined compres- sive strength, pH, and cation ex- change capacity. These data, com- bined with 36 borings and associated laboratory tests per during other site investigations, were used to define the subsurface conditions. The hydrogeologic analysis in- cluded the possibility of free water presence in the soil overburden on the site. Groundwater measurements were made both during and after soil drilling. The direction of ground- water flow in the underlying bed- rock was determined, and flow and velocity were estimated. Water sam- ples were taken and analyzed from three new monitoring wells which were installed during this project. A'omerous soil borings were to determine sitegeolog graundmatereond An operations manual was devel- oped as part of the facility permit application submitted to the Mis- souri Department of Natural Re- sources. A water quality monitoring program and surface runoff control procedures were outlined. The run- off control program included design of a spray irrigation system. Burns & McDonnell redesigned a 100 ton -per -day sanitary landfill to eliminate conflicts with the expan- sion of the hazardous waste landfill. This included several let -down ditches to prevent erosion, and a major drainage channel that separates the sanitary from the hazardous waste landfill. The channel carries runoff from the completed portions of both areas. Additional work performed at the site included the design of a waste stabilization lagoon. Another large embankment was designed for the disposal of chemically stabilized and solidified liquid waste. Little Blue Valley Sewer District LOCATION: Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri DESCRIPTION: Feasibility studies for co -disposal of wastewater sludge and municipal refuse FEATURES: Coincineration of 600 tons per day dry solids Marketing studies for recovered materials Co -generation of steam and electricity By the year 2000, the Little Blue Valley Sewer District's permanent wastewater treatment plant will be producing an estimated 39 tons -per - day of dry sludge solids, and its 238 square mile service area will be gen- erating nearly 560 tons -per -day of municipal refuse. During the prelim- inary design of this plant, Burns & McDonnell prepared a feasibility study to determine if the wastewater sludge could be co -incinerated with the municipal refuse to generate electricity and lower the overall treatment plant operating costs. Several thermal processing systems were evaluated during thefeasihilitystudies. This initial study evaluated several thermal processing systems for relia- bility, operating requirements, mater- ial flow, market potential for recov- ered materials, and economics. The most economical system, which pro- jected an overall reduction in sludge handling costs during the life of the facility, included dedicated refuse - derived fuel (RDF) boilers that would burn a mixture of dried sludge and the processed RDF. After the District indicated strong support for this co -incineration con- cept, additional studies were conduct- ed on specific alternative concept sub -systems, including facility site, refuse transport and processing sys- tems, sludge drying systems, number and size of units, steam turbine - generator systems, and back-up power systems. Technical, institu- tional, and economic factors were considered in these analyses. The availability of municipal solid waste to support the proposed facility was investigated. Discussions with local utilities defined the value of excess electricity which could be sold, as well as the cost of back-up power supply by the utilities. The concept design recommended by these studies includes two 70,000 pound -per -hour dedicated boiler units with a total capacity for incin- erating 500 tons -per -day of RDF and dried sludge. The facility would generate a maximum of 14,000 kW, much of which would be sold as ex- cess electricity, except during peak electrical demand periods at the treatment plant. By disposing of municipal waste and RDF in incinerators, sanitary landfill savings are estimated at 32 acres per year, and at least one mil- lion tons of coal could be conserved over a 20 -year period, assuming that coal would be used for electrical generation and wastewater treatment plant heating. 1W Automotive Assembly Facility LOCATION: Midwest DESCRIPTION: Solid and Hazardous Waste Incinerators with Energy Recovery FEATURES: Modular solid waste incinerators Rotary hazardous waste incinerator Refuse compactor, baler and shredder Recovered energy forspace heating Air pollution control Burns & McDonnell recently designed a 200,000 square foot ad- dition to an existing automobile assembly plant. This facility includes a solid waste complex containing two energy recovery incinerators, a hazardous waste incinerator, two refuse compactors, a cardboard baler, and a pallet shredder. Trash combustion will be effected by two controlled -air modular incin- erators equipped with hydraulic cart dumpers, automatic waste feed and wet ash removal systems, and auto- matic combustion and temperature control systems. Each incinerator is initially provided with gas -to -air heat exchangers which recover ener- gy for space heating of the facility. (left) it part of the Jacitity improvement program at the assembly plant (above) The heat recovery system is a self- contained roof -top packaged unit capable of continuous flue gas -to -air heat transfer. The unit can deliver 5 million Btu's per hour to the supply - air stream. Each modular incinerator has a rated burning capacity of 2,600 pounds -per -hour of wood, paper, and small amounts of plastic. Each incinerator has two chambers. The waste is fired in the primary cham- ber at a controlled rate to produce partially combusted gases. These gases pass into the secondary chain - her where they are retained in an en- vironment of excess air and turbulent mixing for sufficient time to assure complete combustion. Another part of the solid waste complex is a hazardous waste incin- erator. This rotary tumble -burner incinerates at least 250 pounds-per- hour ounds-perhour of sludge from painting opera- tions at the plant, and features an automatic cart dumper and screw feeder, continuous ash removal, and a wet scrubber for air pollution con- trol. Burns & McDonnell prepared the application report required by the state's natural resources department for approval of the facility as a hazardous waste incinerator. Our Project Approach Our philosophy of service is to work with rather than for our clients. We like to participate in defining the problem as well as in developing the solution. We believe thorough investigative engineering may produce better alternatives than a new system or facility. For example, a client located in an industrial park had a problem with his plant effluent. He stood accused of causing the park's com- bined effluent to exceed state dis- charge standards. He faced a shut- down of his entire food processing operation. We conducted frequent effluent samplings, then analyzed them to determine the kinds and volumes of materials present. By recommending some simple adjustments to house- keeping routines and initiating some production clean-up changes, the plant effluent was brought to an unarguably acceptable standard. Our clients fears of a shutdown or move were dispelled, and the need for separate treatment facilities was eliminated. Client needs requiring a detailed study, plan, or design undergo a thorough analysis of work require- ments. This analysis leads to clearly defined responsibilities for our project teams. Here's how we organize the project teams: —members are selected based on your needs and their skills/ problem -solving experience•, —each technical or scientific dis- cipline group is led by an exper- ienced professional; —each team member is assigned for the duration of the project; however, individuals move in and out of the project with the flow of work to minimize client The project manager is the client's single point of contact. All informa- tion, both technical and administra- tive, is channeled to and through this team leader. He coordinates day-to-day activities in the office and the field, and is on call to assist the client with such diverse aspects of the project as public hearings, financial negotiations, and legal proceedings. He is also responsible for keeping the project budget and schedule within the clients time and cost restraints. Each project manager reports to a principal of the firm. This individual is responsible for administration and execution of our services to the client's satisfaction. He monitors project progress and is available for consultation at any time.

Serving as consulting engineer to help provide the necessary information, Burns & McDonnell has assisted utilities in raising nearly $6 billion since 1970 for electric power generation projects.

LI The Financial Foundation-- A Vision of Project Reality Engineers are educated to look at the world from a physical point of view and they learn from experience what works and what doesn't. To transform an idea into a well -orga- nized, working system, the engineer strives to keep his fingers firmly on the pulse of reality, the reality of what will or won't work physically, politically, and economically. With this knowledge of the func- tional, physical relationships of one thing to another, the engineer can ascertain whether a proposed con- struction project is technically sound. But engineering is nota world for the pure technologist alone. During the planning stage of a proposed project, the consulting engineer is called upon to utilize his skills as an "engineer -economist;' ascertaining how economic and socioeconomic forces will affect the project and how financial resources can be maximized. IM n h, Lj E C I I I 0 0 U L� II L With both his technical and planning skills, the consulting engi- neer can provide an information base to which others refer in making decisions about whether a proposed project should proceed, or more specifically, whether a project should be financed. And to provide effective input into the planning stage of a project, the consulting engineer must be an expert not only in the financing of projects in his particular field, but in the multitude of elements in design, construction, operation, and maintenance of pro- jects in that field as well. Serving as a reliable source of information to help both the project owner and the financial community make financial decisions is the role of the consulting engineer in the world of financing. This issue of Beach Mark is dedicated to an exploration of Bums & McDonnell's diversity of experience in this complex and interesting world. For Bums & McDonnell, serving in the role of consulting engineer to help clients obtain financing for their projects has been and is an important part of its tradition of providing complete engineering services, from project inception through completion, and even beyond. "Project owners want to know whether their plans for growth repre- sent a sound busi- ness proposition to the financial com- munity. They want to know that some- body who is an ex- pert in the field has i reviewed those plans, and whether Newton Compbe in that expert's best engineering judgement the project is needed, there will be adequate revenues to pay for it after it's built, and the plans represent the most economically and technologically sound course of action. It is the consulting engineer to whom the project owner looks for that information." That's how Burns & McDonnell President Newton Campbell sees the engineer's role in the financing of projects. Campbell previously served as head of the firm's Econ- omic Studies Department during his more than 30 years of experience in power generation engineering. Before financing for any project can be gained, several central ques- tions must be answered. Is the project needed? Should it be under- taken now? Is the project technically sound? Will it pay for itself? And, what are the risks involved? To answer these central questions, a great many other questions must be answered: • What is the estimated cost of the project? • What are the alternatives? • How will revenues be generated to pay back lenders? • Will the planned design concept encourage maximum revenue generation? • What is the estimated time frame of construction and how will economic and political forces affect that schedule? • How will funds be distributed during construction? • What are the geographic consid- erations? • What is the project owner's history of operating and maintain- ing existing facilities? • What are the operating costs of the project? • How should the project be financed? Questions like these arc answered in the planning stage of a project. It is during this stage that the expertise of the engineer -economist is called into play. But these questions aren't answered by the consulting engineer alone. That takes a team of profes- sionals. Normally, a project owner forms a financial team by calling upon the services of the consulting engineer, a financial consultant, legal counsel, and, if bonds are involved, bond counsel. Each member of the financial team works with the project manage- ment in developing relevant infor- mation, based upon his particular area of expertise, which the financial community will review. Whether financing is sought through the sale of municipal revenue bonds, orthrough a guaranteed or insured loan program, or a leveraged lease transaction, the same basic types of information are needed. The method of financing determines only how the financial team compiles information and to which financial institution the information is funneled. The types of information reviewed and/or generated by the consulting engineer—whether a feasibility study, a power supply study, or contract negotiation assistance --are deter- mined by the type and scope of the project being planned. Thus, each type of project, whether a power plant, an airport, a sewage system, or an industrial plant, requires the input of a consulting engineer who is an expert in that particular field. The contributions of Burns & McDonnell's finance -planning experts that helped turn ideas into working realities arc explored in the following pages.a< (W The Laraine RiAer Station's three S7Vegawatt units were completed at more tban $17 million under budget. W y. 111 . .4 tM m .. '. n .. a ()N 4 „ ua f1z, �'..4 In complexity and cost, an oleo tris power plant project is among the most ambitious of modern -Jay construction projects. And with hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars at stake, utilities and the financial community want to he - furnished with myriad details to JcIp thCm,�s$�$s a proposed project. RIN W-1,14n.leR :4 OV 5Pxoe 4_t tilityeek - Depending on the utility's pro- jected load growth (the expected demand for electricity), the modern- day power project can assume several forms, from a new power facility, to expansion or improve- ments of existing facilities, to the purchase of generating capacity by one utility from another. In seeking financing for any of these types of projects, the utility and its finance -planning team, with a consulting engineer as a member, L U E 1� I �L 6a must provide a multitude of infor- mation to the financial community. The load forecast study is normal- ly the first critical step. A load fore- cast study, often prepared by the consulting engineer, provides the utility with information from which it can determine whether increased generating capacity is actually needed. Once need is determined, an analysis of various available project alternatives often is performed by the consulting engineer through a power supply study. The study takes into account innumerable variables which could affect the cost and feasibility of each alternative. These variables may include unit availabilities, fuel costs, fixed costs, earnings on surplus funds, costs of sharing generating facilities, and debt service. From the power supply study, the utility can determine the type and scope of the project. Between the time that decision is made until long-term financing is sought, a number of other tasks may be performed by the consulting engi- neer. For new or expanded generat- ing facilities, these tasks may include siting studies, environmen- tal analysis, fuel supply analysis, transmission studies, and water supply studies. If the utility is plan- ning to purchase generating capacity from another utility, many of these same types of considerations may be reviewed in existing facilities, and the consulting engineer also may assist in contract negotiations be- tween the two utilities. When financing is sought, all of these previous studies and analyses will have been brought together in the form of a feasibility study. In this study, the consulting engineer also estimates the project cost and construction schedule, two critical aspects of financing. Since 1970, Burns & McDonnell has helped electric utilities raise over $5.7 billion for power projects. Of that $5.7 billion, the firm has helped raise approximately $3.2 billion through municipal electric revenue bonds, with approximately $2.5 billion raised through guaran- teed and insured loan programs. In seeking financing through the issuance of electric revenue bonds, a municipal utility summarizes the previously gathered information into an Official Statement. As an appendix to the statement, the con- sulting engineer provides a report which includes the consultant's independent conclusions about vari- ous aspects of the proposed project. The consulting engineer also may be called upon to assist in presenta- tions to rating agencies, investment bankers, and institutional investors. In seeking financing through the guaranteed and insured loan pro- gram, a Rural Electrification Admin- istration -financed utility provides the various studies and analyses which are funneled through various review channels within REA. At Burns & McDonnell, the Economic Studies Department of the firm's Power Division is the center of activity for finance -plan- ning work. The department's engi- neer -economists, headed by Dick Foltz, utilize the firm's in-house computer capabil- ities along with in- IN put from the firm's Dick Foltz design professionals to provide the information required by utilities and the financial community. A closer look at projects where Burns & McDonnell has applied its expertise in power plant financing and planning follows. Laramie River Station A broad range of Burns & Mc- Donnell's services in power genera- tion was provided for the three 570 - megawatt -unit Laramie River Station near Wheatland, Wyoming. These services included a feasibil- ity study, siting studies, and environ- mental analysis, as well as design, construction management, and start-up services. These combined services led to completion of the three coal-fired units at $17 million under budget. A 47 -month construction sched- ule, from start of construction to commercial operation, was forecast for Unit 1. Due to delays in state government siting permit hearings, construction began six months later than originally planned. However, construction began in late July 1976 and commercial operation was achieved 47 months later, the num- ber of months forecast in the feasi- bility study. Unit 2 began commercial operation in July 1981. Original plans for Unit 3 called for commercial operation by July 1983. In 1978, however, the six participating utilities decided to move that date forward one full year, to July 1982. Burns & Mc- Donnell re -estimated the total project budget to reflect decreased escalation in the costs of construction, lowering the projected total budget for the three units from $968 mil- lion to $937 million. Not only was the new commercial operation date for Unit 3 met, but upon its comple- tion, the actual total costs of the three units was only $920 million. The feasibility study containing Burns & McDonnell's projections for scheduled operation and capital cost was provided to investors or lenders on behalf of each of six par- ticipating utilities. Each utility, two rural electric cooperatives, three joint power agencies, and one municipally owned system, obtained financing separately for their respective shares of the project. Burns & McDonnell provided a report that accompanied the Official Statements submitted by Wyoming Municipal Power Agency, Heart- land Consumers Power District, and Western Minnesota Power Agency, and the municipally owned system, Lincoln (Nebraska) Electric System. The two rural electric cooperatives, Basin Electric Power Cooperative 4% 4% " a womk rim 104 A% q�e 91 S At 4 i.j F1 U U U U I and Tri-State Generation & Trans- mission Association, Inc., obtained financing through the Rural Electri- fication Administration. Burns & McDonnell provided various docu- mentation, including the feasibility study and the environmental analysis, necessary for the cooperatives' loan applications. Burns & McDonnell also assisted the two rural electric cooperatives in obtaining pollution - control financing through tax- exempt issuers. Basin Electric sold notes and Tri-State sold notes guar- anteed by the National Rural Elect- ric Cooperative Finance Corporation. Omaha Public Power District Omaha Public Power District, one of the largest publicly owned electric utility systems in the United States, issued over $599 million in electric revenue bonds in 1977, the largest such issuer that year. Burns & McDonnell provided the consult- ing engineer's reports included with OPPD's Official Statements submitted to the financial community. Burns & McDonnell has moni- tored OPPD's systems and operations and helped the utility obtain financ- ing for various system improvements and expansions since the District's formation in 1946. With this lengthy association, Bums & McDonnell can quickly access and assess information each time OPPD requests assistance from the firm in obtaining financing. Since 1946, Burns & McDonnell has assisted OPPD in publishing biennual reports on the utility's operations. These reports essentially are a review of OPPD's operations and management; its repairs, renewals, and replacements; its rates and revenues; its capital im- provements; and its power supply. OPPD furnishes these reports to its Bond Trustees as required by bond resolutions. Operation and maintenance re- ports prepared by Burns & McDon- nell for OPPD and numerous other electric utilities have enabled Burns & McDonnell to maintain an impor- tant aspect of power plant financing and F engineering--expo- sure to a wide variety of electric utility operating and maintenance prac- Daoe Cbristianson rices and problems. "By working with a variety of utilities, we are ex- posed to different situations," says Dave Christianson, project coordi- nator in Burns & McDonnell's Economic Studies Department. "Monitoring a utility's purchases, repairs, and expansion serves as a knowledge gathering process, a gauge of operating and maintenance costs." Northern Municipal Power Agency Burns & McDonnell acted as consulting engineer in an agreement whereby a series of contract negotia- tions resulted in Northern Munici- pal Power Agency's purchase of Minnkota Power Cooperative's 30 - percent ownership in the 415 -mega- watt Coyote Plant near Beulah, North Dakota, along with associated transmission. Burns & McDonnell first assisted lawyers in the negotiation of the contract between Northern and Minnkota. The firm then partici- pated in writing contracts that transferred service agreements for 10 cities in Minnesota and two in North Dakota, from Minnkota to Northern. Lastly, Burns & McDon- nell wrote the consulting engineer's report in Northern's Official State- ment and participated in presenta- tions to major investors and rating agencies for the sale of $268 million in electric revenues bonds to finance the plan. "The uniqueness 'e"n� of this purchase was L; s. that Northern and Minnkota agreed that Northern and the 12 cities would actually own the plant but Northern's Gayle May electric rates would be based on blending the cost of power from the Coyote plant with the cost of power from Minnkota's other power sup- ply facilities," says Gayle Mayo, project coordinator. "Basing rates soley on the cost of power from the Coyote plant would have resulted in enormously high electric rates." City of Provo, Utah A longstanding professional rela- tionship between Burns & McDon- nell and the City of Provo, Utah began in the late 1930s when Burns & McDonnell's co-founder, R.E. McDonnell, helped the City establish its municipally -owned electric gen- erating system. The firm then designed Provo's first electric gen- erating plant. Since that time, work by Bums 8c McDonnell for the City in power - related design, planning, and financ- ing has been almost continuous. In the late 1970s the City was seeking an economical way to increase its power supply capability. The City called upon Burns & McDonnell to evalu- ate whether the City should enter into participation contracts whereby Provo would purchase a 6.25 per- cent interest in Unit 1 of Utah Power & Light's Hunter Plant. Burns & McDonnell performed a power supply study to evaluate alter- natives. From the study, Provo chose to proceed with its plans for the purchase of the 6.25 percent interest in the Hunter Plant. Burns & McDonnell participated in nego- tiating the contracts for the purchase. The purchase required a $22 - million electric revenue bond issue by Provo, for which Burns & McDonnell provided the consulting engineer's report. Since 1970, Burns & McDonnell has provided numerous other ser- vices for the City, including an electric rate study, a geothermal power supply evaluation, several load forecasts, a power supply study, a transmission system study, design of a substation, and consult- ing services concerning the influences of a new industry on electric rates. -o< `�.

The estimated project cost has been reduced to $180 million, and the District's bond rating has increased from B to AA. Financing Good Intentions 'Andrews In the mid-1960s a multiplicity of municipal sewage plants along the Little Blue River discharged treated wastewaters into the river daily. Pollution problems arising from this scattered approach to wastewater treatment resulted in the federal government and the state of Mis- souri designating the river a "no -dis- charge stream" in 1966. That meant municipalities had to reduce and eventually eliminate discharges to the waterway. Harvey Jones, Jackson County Engineer at the time, had anticipated this action and was ready with a plan which called for an interceptor winding through the Little Blue Valley collecting wastewater. The wastewater would be treated at a single treatment plant and discharged into the Missouri River. Jones' wastersbed approach to wastewater treatment was to become the Little Blue Valley Sewer District, serving a 238 -square -mile area, including eleven municipalities, two federal installations, and significant parts of Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri. At the outset, the plan amounted to good intentions backed by sound engineering and financial ideas. But the District needed more than that to attract bond investors; it needed sound assurances that investors would be protected. An integral part of the District's financing team was the work of Paul Andrews, Vice President of Burns & McDonnell. Andrews recom- mended establish- ment of a number of accounts to pro- tect investors, which included a capita- lized interest fund, an emergency repair fund, a princi- pal and interest fund, and a bond reserve fund. These accounts were important in putting the District's feet on Wall Street's doorstep. But the catalyst that made the financial plan work was dollars --demonstrating that the District could generate sufficient revenues by collecting user fees from municipalities as they tied into the interceptor. "The possibility .of selling bonds to investors for a system to which no onc had agreed to contribute anything Jerry Morroi was remote," says Jerry Morrow, Burns & McDonnell Project Mana- ger at the time. The key was a service contract signed between the District and the City of Independence, making Inde- pendence the initial customer of the District. The signed agreement included a safeguard for buyers of the $9 mil- lion bond issue (the first of three issues): if the federal government backed out of the program, or if the other towns along the Little Blue didn't sign service contracts, then the City of Independence would pick up a $4.5 million tab, used to finance the initial phase of the project while the other $4.5 million would be used to retire the bonds. Because the completion of the sewer project meant stimulation of local economies, and because each city was required to show it was working to eliminate discharges, District officials were confident that the user -fee plan would succeed. When the financing team presen- ted its package to rating agencies, Andrews was asked to participate in the presentation, then a rare request of a consulting engineer. The plan was judged sound, and the first bond issue was sold October 1, 1971. When the District later returned to Wall Street seeking second and third bond issues totalling S45 mil- lion, it had several additional service contracts to support its case. The issues were sold. Constructing Cost Savings Throughout the project, efforts of the District and Burns & McDon- nell have been aimed at saving money. A bond refund issue was obtained in 1977 to take advantage of lower interest rates, and a number of cost-saving approaches to design and construction have been taken. Several delays in federal funding and in approval of placing an inter- ceptor beneath a Corps of Engineers' reservoir (the first such plan ever approved by the Corps) extended completion of construction from 1979 to 1986. Despite this seven- year extension, savings of $90 mil- lion from the original cost estimate are expected. These savings are due primarily to a number of avenues taken by Burns & McDonnell and the District, including: (161 • Intrachannel Clarification -- In a climate of inflation and tax- payer resistance to spending in the water and wastewater fields, the federal Environmental Protection Agency began providing financial incentives to utilities to develop new, innovative, and cost-cutting processes. After studying several alternatives to an original conventional treat- ment plant, Burns & McDonnell developed an innovative design in which secondary biological treat- ment occurs in a single basin. An intrachannel clarifier in the aeration basin eliminates much of the tradi- tional wastewater treatment equip- ment. The entire system requires only three pieces of equipment with moving parts --a blower, a mixer, and a sludge wasting pump. The Burns & McDonnell Treat- ment System (BMTS) was success- fully tested for 20 months in a pilot plant treating wastewater diverted from the influent to the District's interim treatment plant. EPA liked the idea and designated the system under its "Innovative and Alterna- tive" program, entitling the District to a 10 percent increase in federal funds. This, in addition to the anti- cipated cost savings realized by the system's simplicity (with total cost an estimated S30 million as opposed to $55 million for the original design), represented substantial savings to the District and its con- stituents. • Interim Treatment Plant -- Prior to completion of the 40 - million -gallon -per -day permanent treatment plant, scheduled for 1986, wastewater has been treated at the interim treatment plant, designed to handle 20 ntgd. To maximize capa- A pipe size that could handle flow ex- pected in the near future and that could later be pressurized to handle ultintate flow was chosen as most cost-effective. city for the very low construction cost of S5 million, the aeration and settling basins were combined and built as earthen basins. Also, to expedite maintenance and eliminate redundancy, all underwater equipment was designed for main- tenance without draining basins. As a result, operating and maintenance costs for the plant have been lower than those of a comparable conven- tional plant. • Planning for Ultimate Flow -- The Little Blue project encom- passes about 30 miles of mainstem interceptor and 33 miles of branch interceptor (including several sections installed by tunneling, and subaqueous sections beneath two proposed flood control reservoirs and dams). At the beginning of the project, the idea was to build this intercep- tor system to handle ultimate flow of the valley's contributors. Several alternatives were considered: use of a large -diameter pipe in anticipa- tion of ultimate flow; use of a smaller -diameter pipe and in the future build a parallel pipe; or use of a pipe size that could handle flow expected in the near future and that could be pressurized by adding several pump stations to handle ulti- mate flow. The latter alternative was chosen as most cost-effective. 10 WL "That approach ended up saving the r, _ District a lot of money and still gave the District a system A designed to handle fy ultimate flow. It may have been a $400 million pro- Stan Christopher ject under the other alternatives," said Stan Christopher, who succee- ded Morrow as Burns & McDon- nell's Project Manager in 1981. • Alternative Bidding -- Contracts for construction of the _ interceptor were hid in numerous segments, allowing local contractors into the bidding process. After the first several contracts were awarded, it was thought even more economical prices could be obtained under an alternative bidding arrange- - mens. The District saved money by installing pipe tinder three separate contracts but letting bids for only one pipe supply contract. The District took bids on one pipe supply contract involving the purchase of 28,000 feet of pipe. Three separate installation contracts, which utilized the 28,000 feet of pipe, were bid (one at the same time as the pipe supply contract). Also, corrugated metal pipe for the tun- neled sections of the interceptor was bid against concrete pipe. This alternative bidding arrange- ment was guided by specifications written by Burns & McDonnell. Christopher said of the arrange- ment,'9t is unusual to bid a con- tract to supply pipe to one contrac- tor immediately and two additional contractors at some future date. In this instance, we were able to deter- mine the least expensive type of pipe (concrete vs. metal) by combining the installation price with the material price and comparing the totals. It results in an unusual bid package, but the effect is the most inexpensive combination of con- struction labor and materials." The arrangement saved the Dis- trict money by eliminating the gen- eral contractor's price for handling the pipe purchase. It also meant a lower total price for the pipe because it enabled the pipe manufacturer to use the same casting equipment for a much greater total length of pipe than if the pipe were ordered under each installation contract. The Little Blue Valley Sewer Dis- trict Board of Trustees, to which several new members were recently elected, has overseen District opera- tions during the 15 -plus -year span of the project. The Board is now comprised of Chairman Bill Waris, Vice Chairman C. Wayne Reid, Secretary Robert Beaird, and Trea- surer Harold L. Holiday, Jr. The Board members, along with Admin- istrator Jim Hess and Counsel William J. Randall, will direct the project over the next several years. Upon completion, the project will have represented a major endeavor for Burns & McDonnell, an endeavor incorporating the full range of services and expertise offered by Burns & McDonnell in the wastewater collection and treat- ment ficld.�< Airport Planning and Financing -- Together From the Ground Up Although a modernairport pass- enger terminal can provide travelers with good food service, a relaxing cocktail, n spree in a gift shop, ora haircut, these home -away -from• home offerings are not the main attraction. The traveler's primary goal is e,t board an airplane for another destination or to lc;tvc the terminad fur the allure of the surrounding area. instzle the terminal at Portland International Airport. The economic stability of an air- port, however, is dependent upon not only the success of the airlines and the economy of the surrounding arca, but equally upon the success of the various businesses and conces- sions within and around the terminal. The airport terminal nutst thus he designed to accuntntodate the potential succeu of the ntanv busi- nesses within it. Because design affects revenue generation, the finan- cial implications of various design concepts must he assessed during early planning stages. ,Planning and financing, during the early concept development stages, go hand in hand hecntse the location and size of the concession spuce%,;u tbcyinteract with enplmting and dcpl.uting puswngcr Bow, is vital to the revenue genera- tion potential for the concessionaires and the airport spon- sor," says Justus Hellmuth, a Burns & McDonnell aviation consultant. "Termi- nal concepts should be developed where concessions are in Justus Hellumtl' full view of the en- planing and deplaning passenger to stimulate impulse buying." To determine the financial ingre- dients of airport development, the expertise of the aviation consultant is called upon in the early planning stages. The consultant provides an independent analysis of the many factors that affect revenue generation capabilities for payment of the airport's indebtedness on bonds issued to finance the airport and annual operating costs. Aspects of the consultant's analy- sis include assessments of relevant historical data; the market area; existing airline services; the airport management's accounting proce- dures, lease policies, and opera- tions; planning and engineering services; and the anticipated debt service. He also provides projec- tions of construction costs and schedules, the anticipated level of air traffic and passenger volume, and whether the passengers will be transient (using the airport as a stopover point between destina. tions) or "origin -destination" (leaving from and returning to the same airport). The consultant also may be in- volved in negotiating user -fee agreements between the airport and the airlines as well as between the airport and the concessionaires, Rental fees are paid to the airport by both the airlines and the conces. sionaires to generate revenues to cover bonds and maintenance/ operation costs. Any decrease in revenues from concessions may result in an increase in the rental rates to the airlines. Thus, the aviation consultant evaluates the design concepts of the airport terminal from the standpoint of how it may affect the balance of those rates. Airfield improvements and land acquisitions are also financed through bonds which are repaid through landing fees charged to the airlines for use of the airfield facil- ities. The fees are based on the landed weight of the various types of aircraft. The aviation consultant provides revenue forecasts of the fees on a per 1,000 pounds of landed weight basis. Today, with the forces of a free marketplace determining the success or failure of airlines and airport facilities, the aviation consultant has had to hone his expertise in airport financing, planning, design, and construction cost/schedule estimates The aviation consultant is called upon to assess the potential financial effects of the deregulated climate on the project. "The entire spectrum of airport financing changed with deregulation. It has become an even more complex and interesting subject," Hellmuth said. Hellmuth, who has a distinguished 13 -year career in aviation planning, design, and consulting, last year joined Burns & McDonnell's avia- tion staff. Prior to joining the firm, he was resident manager responsible visibility of concessions. with skills in market analysis and economic feasibility. With the advent of airline industry deregu- lation in 1978, investors, invest- ment bankers, bond counsel, and rating agencies are more cautious about financing airport projects. for programming and conceptual development of the 5120 -million West Terminal project at Los Ange- les International Airport. The termir nal will accommodate 32 intcrna- tional airlines and is slated for beneficial occupancy in May 1984, in time for the Summer Olympic Games. Also, for the John Wayne Airport masterplan implementa- tion program in Orange County, California, Hellmuth served as a member of the program manage- ment team. Currently, Hellmuth is preparing the engineer's report for the Official Statement of Los Angeles Interna- tional Airport -Technical Committee, for approximately $15 million in bonds for the purchase and installa- tion of ramp equipment and baggage handling system at the Los Angeles International West Terminal pro- ject. He also recently was chosen as project director for the master plan study at Brussels National Airport in Brussels, Belgium. Hellmuth is the newest member of a team at Burns & McDonnell that has gained diverse experience with the many elements of both aviation consulting and airport design and construction. Burns & McDonnell's aviation consultants have assisted airport operators in raising some 8435 million in revenue bonds over the past several years. This experience has been gained on such projects as: • Reno Cannon International Air- port, a terminal expansion project for which Burns & McDonnell participated in the financial feasi- bility study, reviewed and updated the airport master plan, developed budgets and construc- tion schedules, and designed the first phase of the project. • Kansas City International Airport, on which Burns & McDonnell has participated in planning, design, and construction supervision almost continuously since 1954. • Portland International Airport, where Burns & McDonnell pre- pared a master plan for long-range development and designed the first phase of the plan. • Great Falls International Airport, an airport expansion project on which Burns & McDonnell served 14 as consultant in establishing and monitoring a program budget for revenue bond financing, and also served in a project management role. At the Reno Cannon Intemational Airport, Burns & McDonnell's planning and design team got first- hand experience with the effects that both deregulation and a booming economy can have on planning and design of an airport expansion project. Deregulation brought airlines Flocking to healthy markets. Reno was one such area. The financial team at Reno Cannon International, with Burns & McDonnell as consul- tant, knew during the early planning stages that deregulation was a pos- sibility. The team proposed expan- sion alternatives aimed at absorbing potential effects of deregulation. Deregulation and Reno's spiraling economy turned what started out as a proposed 40,000 -square -foot expansion project in mid -1977 into what is now a completed 300,000 - square -foot expansion project. The project was financed by two bond issues totalling $73 million. An assemblage of gaming mach- ines, one of the concessions at Cannon, also affected planning and design. The machines and the large amount of revenues they were expected to generate were significant considerations during development of the financing plan, in the user -fee negotiations, and in the design of the gaming machine areas in the terminal. -o< .J r Accounting for Construction Funds With Effective Tools Burns & McDonnell has an effec- tive tool to aid construction project owners in funds management during major construction and capital development programs. By projecting cash demand monthly, an owner can invest idle funds from a bond issue, or other revenue sources, in a programmed manner. Three computer programs offered by Bums & McDonnell's Construction Services Division pro- vide an owner with that opportunity by tracking all construction project transactions, providing a contract status report, and making a cash demand forecast. The three programs were devel- oped for the planning and construc- tion of Kansas City International Airport and also have been used successfully at Portland International Airport and Reno Cannon Interna- tional Airport. The fundamental program, the Cash Demand Forecast, distributes the costs associated with each con- tract in a project over the contract's lifetime. By determining when funds will be needed, the possibility exists to extend the time funds can be invested before needed to fill con- tractural obligations. As the funds collect additional interest, income is increased and the owner's net project costs are reduced as a result. The other two computer pro- grams-- Contract Status Report and Transactions Analysis-- basically are accounting programs that inter- face real costs with those projected in the Cash Demand Forecast. The three programs combined, provide a check and balance system which allows an owner to deter- mine where his project stands finan- cially. The Contract Status Report pro- vides a history for each contract. The program tracks the amounts requested by a contractor, the net amounts paid by the owner, reten- tions, damages, and any adjust- ments resulting from change orders. An ongoing, cumulative total of each of these categories also is main- tained. The categories become the input of the "to date" listing of actual expenditures entered into the Cash Demand Forecast. "The Cash Demand Forecast breaks out each project into its com- ponents of design, inspection, con- tract administration, construction, and contingency," says Jim Bednar, Construction Services Division economist. "The program distrib- utes the various cost functions over the time frame of the project. After a project begins and the 'to -date' expenditures are entered, the pro- gram then spreads the remaining costs, projecting them on a monthly basis to the end of the time frame originally allocated." As construction progresses, the program compares previous months projections with current projections to determine if work progress is ahead of or behind schedule. The program also has provisions for general administrative items and consultants. These might include such things as large equipment items, land, or special consultants needed during the course of a large construction project. The program summarizes all expenditures, by type, at the end of the month. The last report from the Cash Demand Forecast provides a finan- cial status report on the project. This report shotes the initial money available from the bond issue (or other source) and projects the amount of interest on the unexpen- ded balance that may be earned over the course of the project at a given interest rate. Total income from interest, bonds, grants or other IM income sources are delineated on a total income section of the report. Total expenditures also are shown by month, as are cumulative expen- ditures with unexpended balances listed. "We'll know what amount of interest income an owner will have available for the project if the original funds 1 are invested and spent as necessary Jim Bednar for the payments of contracts," says Bednar. These data allow the owner to determine the financial status of any project and the total program at any particular point during its life. As a planning tool, the Cash Demand Forecast also can help size a bond issue. Funds from a proposed issue can be entered into the program, checked to see if interest income meets expectations, then judged. If the interest income is low, the issue may be undersized, if high, over- sized. Adjustments then can be made to alter the issue properly. The program also allows the analy- sis of various "what if" situations. When shifting activities, the impact on the financial status of the project can be quickly assessed. The uniqueness of this program compared with other accounting systems is its direct relation to upcoming construction sequences. The program projects construction costs two ways: if the construction is of a major structure, costs may be projected on a bell curve; if the construction is Batwork (highways, Tbree computer programs offer a project owner the opportunity to rawest and track revenues in a progrannmted manner. runways, etc.) then a straight-line projection might be used. These projections are based upon estimates of how the contractor will actually use labor and materials and other resources over the course of construction. "Overall, this program won't change the rating of a bond issue, but its use may give the investor a little more confidence that idle money is being managed well," Bednar says. The Transaction Analysis lists all transactions-- both income and ex- pense items-- so that a balance sheet on the total project can be pro- duced. After all transactions are entered into the computer, a funds commit- ment analysis organizes all transac- tions on a monthly basis. By exam- ining this listing, an owner knows the financial status of a project with regard to commitments by project and revenue source. This program concludes with a balance sheet which indicates either a surplus balance or a deficit for the construction program. "This report (Transaction Analy- sis) will show whether the capital program will become overcommit- ted, as planned," explains Bednar. "If so, it may be necessary to re- schedule a project until income accumulates where further commit- ments can be made. Other alter- natives would include the provision for obtaining additional funds." These three programs provide a base from which to plan for future incomes and expenditures, a device to monitor actual incomes and expenditures, and a way to recon- cile and evaluate the effects of income and expenses as the project progresses..< 4., MILESTONES Burns & McDonnell Diversifies with Acquisition of The C.W. Nofsinger Company Burns & McDonnell President Newton A. Campbell (seated), and The C. IV. Nofsinger Company President Williant M. Nofsinger, opened a new chapter for The two companies with the closing of the acquisition January 29. In a move to diversify, Burns & McDonnell has announced its acquisition of The C.W. Nofsinger Company, which provides engi- neering services to the petroleum and chemical industries. Under the acquisition, Nofsinger, with offices in Overland Park, Kan- sas, will operate under its own name as a separate division of Burns & McDonnell, a member of the Pro- fessional Services Division of Armco, Inc. Nofsinger and Burns & McDon- nell operate in closely related engi- neering and construction fields and expect this new association will provide greater diversity and strength to both companies. Armco, which operates the National Supply Company, the world's largest single source of oil and gas drilling equip- ment, production machinery, and related services, views the addition of Nofsinger as a natural extension of its goal to diversify and provide complete services to the oil produc- tion, oil refining, and petrochemical industries. Nofsinger, founded in 1950, pro- vides process engineering, detailed plant design, purchasing and con- struction services for petroleum and chemical process plants. The company, which provides services both domestically and intcrnaticn- ally, has long been recognized as a leader in development of innovative chemical processes and has several proprietary processes in use. In addition to distillation processes for the refining industry, the company has particular expertise in super - fractionation, extractive distillation, and azeotropic distillation for the separation and purification of chemicals. Licensed processes include crystallization, diolefin puri- fication and a process to improve the economics of dewaxing in lube - oil manufacture. For more than a decade, the company has been designing and shop -fabricating modules for inclusion in processing plants. Nofsinger is the North American representative for the Brodie Purifier Crystallizer, a fractional crystalli- zation process owned by Tsukishima Kikai Company, Ltd. of Japan. Nofsinger has a Brodie pilot plant in Kansas City.K< (U BMTS Wins 5 -Star Award Called a "significant advancement in environmental control technol- ogy," the Burns & McDonnell Treatment System (BMTS) has been selected its;) PE 5 -Star Award recip- ient by Pollution Engineering magazine. This is the second national award presented to Bunn & McDonnell for development of this system. The first award was made when the National Society of Professional Engineers named BMTS one of Ten Outstanding Engineering Achieve- ments of 1981. An Opportunity to Test BMTS Treatment System (BM TS) with this portable demonstration plant. Industries and municipalities wanting to test and evaluate the ability of Burns & McDonnell's cost-saving, innovative wastewater treatment system to treat their par- ticular wastewaters can now do so with a portable, trailer -mounted demonstration plant being offered by the firm. The 8,000 -15,000 -gallon -per -day portable demonstration plant, de- signed by Burns & McDonnell, can be hooked up to receive and treat wastewater from existing industrial or municipal wastewater treatment facilities. The demonstration plant incorporates the firm's intrachannel clarification device. The ability of the intrachannel clarification system, dubbed "BMTS," to successfully treat municipal wastewater was docu- mented for two years in a pilot plant which intercepted wastewater entering a 20-mgd treatment plant in Jackson County, Missouri. A total of 18 municipalities are currently having a BMTS plant de- signed by or licensed from Burns & McDonnell. The system's ability to treat various types of industrial waste- waters has not yet been tested. However, because the system uses the activated sludge treatment pro- cess commonly used in industrial wastewater treatment, many of the advantages the system offers to municipalities over conventional treatment systems also may be real- ized by industries, says Jerry Morrow, director of business devel- opment for Bums & McDonnell's Environmental -Civil Division. Bums & McDonnell currently is designing a BMTS for a meat- packing facility. Other industries that commonly use activated sludge wastewater treatment include the automobile industry, beet sugar processors, the beverage industry, breweries, canneries, dairies and cheese pro- cessors, grain millers, food and feed processors, iron and steel coke producers, leather tanneries, the organic chemical industry, petro- leum refineries, pharmaceutical manufacturers, plastic materials and synthetic producers, poultry plants, pulp and paper mills, rubber proces- sors, and textile mills. The major advantage of BMTS over conventional treatment systems is a potential 60 percent capital cost savings and a 25 percent operation and maintenance cost savings. Also, the system produces a dischargeable effluent which meets all secondary pollution control standards.o< 18 1 ( l;7( Associated's Largest Unit Now on Line Upon a signal from Missouri Governor Christopher Bond, the control room operator opened the plant's pressure relief valve and the 670 -megawatt Thomas Hill Unit 3 near Moberly, Missouri was offi- cially dedicated. Commencement of commercial operation of the unit June 1, 1982, and its dedication June 23 collectively represent another milestone in Burns & McDonnell's involvement with the Thomas Hill Energy Extensive Load Management Studv Underwa., Load management, the process of controlling peak electric generating demand, has emerged over the last several years as a way to delay the necessity of building new and in- creasingly expensive generating and related facilities. Center, an involvement that spans almost 20 years. Burns & McDon- nell began design of Unit 3 in June 1976 and also designed the 175 - MW Unit I (design start 1963, in service November 1966) and the 275 -MW Unit 2 (design start 1965, in service February 1969). Unit 3 is the fifth unit designed by Burns & McDonnell for Associated Electric Cooperative, giving Asso- ciated a total generating capacity of 2,320 MW. The five units, all in Missouri, provide power for essen- tially all of rural Missouri and parts of adjoining states. Addressing an audience of over 600 during the Unit 3 dedication were Governor Bond and Chuck Gill, governor of the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation. Governor Bond praised Associated for its commit- ment to using Missouri resources, and specifically Missouri coal, in the Thomas Hill operation. With the use of Missouri coal, which has a high ash and sulfur content, as well as consideration of environmental, economic, and siting factors, Burns & McDonnell was called upon to include special engineering features into Unit 3 for the treatment and removal of the plant's wastes. These special engi- neering features included the first application in the United States of a drag -chain removal system for bottom ash on a utility boiler of this size; a dense -phase flyash removal System; a forced -oxidation process outside the flue -gas desulfurization (FGD) loop; and a two-stage centrif- ugal, sludge -dewatering repulp Process for the magnesium -promoted FGD system a& - In September, 1982, Burns & McDonnell began the first phase of a study involving one of thelargcst electric service areas ever evaluated for load management feasibility. The study concerns Basin Electric Power Cooperative's cast side scr. vice area encompassing rural electric customers in North and South Da- kota and parts of Montana, Nebras- ka, Minnesota, and Iowa. Hour -by -hour computer simula- tions of load management have addressed two different load control plans. The first, the Energy Manage- ment Plan, involves encouraging consumers with fossil fuel heating systems to add electric heating capa- bility. Peak demands can be con- trolled by mechanically switching those dual systems to fossil fuel during system peak periods and re- storing electric services when the Peak passes. Annual kilowatt hour sales will be increased, but peak demand will not. Capacity Management, the second plan, is aimed at control- ling existing loads, such as water heaters, by cutting such loads off electric service during peak system demand periods. Annual kilowatt hour sales under this plan will be slightly reduced because not all of the energy usage missed during peri- ods of cut-off will be returned. Peak demands will be reduced, however.

Studies and design activities were begun in April 1976, with commercial opera- tion officially declared April 1, 1982. It is the second power plant designed by Burns & McDonnell for Western Farmers Electric Coopera- tive, the first being the 60 -MW gas - and oil -fired Mooreland Unit 1 in 1964. Among the dignitaries at the Hugo dedication were Oklahoma Governor George Nigh and Harold Hunter, Administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration. Governor Nig said the dedication was a celebration which represented progress in Oklahoma. Unit 1 is the first phase of coal- fired generation for Western Farm- ers. Among the special design engi- neering features of the plant is a dustless ash handling system in which ash is blown underwater into a pond. This system requires only one operator and is one of the larger ash handling systems in the country incorporating this dustless feature. Consideration for the spawning of striped bass in the Kiamichi River, the plant's raw water source, re- sulted in another special design feature—state-of-the-art screens which are designed into the river water intake system to prevent capture of small fish and fish larvae.

The bright light is being reflected from the 300 -foot tower of Solar One, the world's largest solar power plant. Located in Daggett, about 20 r miles east of Barstow, the plant L generates about 10 megawatts of electric power. The central tower is surrounded by 1,818 movable mir- ror assemblies called heliostats, which reflect the sun onto the tower. A boiler at the top of the i' tower generates steam, used in a h conventional turbine -generator to i produce electricity. The solar plant is operated by Southern California Edison ` Company. Designed as a pilot proj- ect, the plant will aid in assessing j the commercial feasibility of solar power plants. The project is spon- sored by the U.S. Department of i Energy, Southern California Edison L, Company, the Los Angeles Depart- ment of Water and Power, and the California Energy Commission. Burns & McDonnell, retained by the Electric Power Research Insti- tute, Palo Alto, California, will review the Solar One project and report on results.

INNOVATIVE WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY Max. 310 14 330 31 4675 960 1204 bmts update East Dubuque, Illinois To Have BMTS The City of East Dubuque, Illi- nois will use the BMTS concept for its new 470,000-gpd secondary waste- water treatment plant. The plant is being designed by Shive-Hattery Engineers in Iowa City, Iowa. Con- struction is expected to begin in early 1985 with start-up scheduled for early 1986. "After our visit to Kansas City and tour of the Little Blue Valley Sewer District facility, we all agreed that the BMTS was the process we warted to employ,"said F. "Doc" Hallada, Shive-Hattery's project manager. "We are very anxious to put the plant into operation and have it be a showplace for north- western Illinois, " Hallada said. The plant, to be constructed under an Innovative grant, incor- porates many innovative features. In addition to the BMTS intrachan- nel clarifier, the process will use slow -speed mixing and fine -bubble, diffused air for its mixing/aeration system. Also included in the innova- Additional Contract for LBVSD A contract has been awarded to Tillery Construction inc. of Overland Park, Kansas for two 10- mgd basins at the Little Blue Valley Sewer District's wastewater treatment plant. The $5.4 million contract includes two BMTS aeration/clarification basins, com- pletion of the Peak Flow Clarifier, miscellaneous utilities, grading, paving, and other work associated with the construction. Construction is scheduled to begin in May. When these two basins are fin- ished, the plant will have a 30-mgd capacity. Completion of the fourth basin, in late 1985, will bring the plant up to its full 40-mgd capa- city. This contract, when added to the original contract, brings the construction cost to $19.4 million. tive grant will be a vacuum sludge - drying -bed system and small -dia- meter, low-pressure sewer addition. The latter includes 70 grinder pump units and 8,400 feet of low-pres- sure pipe. Total cost for the new plant is estimated at $1.94 million. The plant is one of only three plants in Illinois to be granted innovative funds for a specific process. "According to our estimates and the Illinois EPA's I&A Panel, the BMTS process was, by far, the most econonlcal systent we could employ," remarked Hallada. "The new BMTS plant will actually be a retrofit of an existing trickling filter facility. We will be maximizing reuse of existing basins and process components in order to further re- duce costs, "said Hallada. Little Blue Construction Progresses Construction of the Little Blue Valley Sewer District's 40-mgd treatment plant is nearing SO% connplction. The basins that will hone the BMTS portion of the plant are awaiting installation of the baffles. installation of aeration and propulsion facilities and piping will follow. Pictured above are the baffle -support walls of the clarifier. Shown in the fore- ground is the clarifier end wall which includes the support for the rotating scum pipe. 1. . ra Mobile Pilot Plant Testing At Coke Plant Burns & McDonnell's Mobile Pi- lot Plant has been in operation at Armco's Coke Plant in Ashland, Kentucky since December 6, 1983. The mobile plant is part of an ex- tensive pilot system using BMTS technology to treat the combined process wastewater discharge from the coke plant. Influent concentrations have re- cently been in the following ranges: 2,660 to 5,450 mg/1 COD; 100 to 675 mg/I phenol; 460 to 580 mg/I thiocyanate (SCN); and 40 to 45 mg/l oil and grease. Removal effi- ciencies during the same period have been in the following ranges: 85 to 9501a COD; 100% phenol; 96 to 97% SCN; and 90 to 91% oil and grease. Under the second test phase, which began in mid-March, nitrifl- cation will be established and the maximum rate of nitrification will be determined. The test program, being performed under an EPA grant, is scheduled to run through May 1984. Mobile Pilot Plant Goes International Europe's first BMTS mobile pilot plant will soon be testing wastes from industries and tourist facili- ties near Nice, France. The pilot plant is being fabricated in Borghetto, Italy by Armco, Inc. The unit is identical to the mobile plant available for testing in the United States. The U.S. unit is in its second year of continuous test. ting and operation. bmts update The BMTS mobile pilot plant is testing industrial wastes at Armco's Ashland, Kentucky coke plant. Circular Concept for Coral Springs, Florida Further testing of the BMTS has been used to successfully adapt the intrachannel clarifier to a circular aeration basin. The results of the research pro- gram are being used by Gee & Jensen Engineering Co. in design of a 3-mgd wastewater treatment plant for the Coral Springs, Florida Improvement District. Burns & McDonnell is licensing the BMTS technology to the improvement district and the construction contractor for the project. There were seven bidders, four of which were below the engineer's esti- mate of $4.8 million. Twin Con- struction Company of Pompano Beach, Florida has been awarded the contract for $4.2 million. I' 6 ( There are 33 BMTS plants currently being pmnnea rnrougnour rvosnn n,„rr,,.,. ... r...,........... .- -, - --- plants are under construction. Ten are to be bid before year-end. The others are at various stages of planning or design. EPA has determined many of these plants to be I&A (Innovative & Alternative) while others are pending approval, BMTS Plant Wins Gallatin, Missouri Funding Eligibility Bids were taken January 30, 1984 for the City of Gallatin, Missouri's proposed 0.225-mgd treatment plant using BMTS technology to provide secondary treatment. Recommended to construct the treatment plant is Irvinbilt Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, whose low bid was $696,700. "Because the City of Gallatin went with the innovative design of BMTS, their project gained priority points and became eligible for government funding," said Virgil Schneider, project manager. Flow will pass through a diversion structure that is designed to bypass now to the old treatment plant when flows exceed 563,000 gpd. A com- minutor with a bar -screen bypass will follow the grit chamber. Flow to the new treatment facility will pass through a 6,150 -gallon aerated grit chamber. The combined aeration/clarifica- tion basin has a volume of 142,000 gallons with a side -water depth of 16 feet. Aeration for the ditch -like basin will consist of fine bubble dif- fusers capable of delivering an ave- rage of 125 cfm. Mixing will be accomplished with a slow -speed submerged propeller -type mixer and clarification will be achieved with an intrachannel clarifier with submerged orifice pipes. Two rotating scum pipes will remove the scum from the aeration/clarification basin. Burns & McDonnell is providing construction phase engineering in- cluding resident inspection services and contract administration. Contracts were awarded the end of April; construction begins in May. For More Information About BMTS, Contact: Dr. Bob Berry, P.E. Burns & McDonnell 4800 East 63rd St., P.O.

Approach to Project - The study approach has been based on review of available documents, discussions with city engineering and treatment plant staff, and an on-site review of existing facilities. The approach is divided into two phases. — Phase I provides an engineering and economic analysis of waste- water transport and treatment alternatives and options for staging the construction of needed facilities. Phase I will recommend one or two alternatives for financial analysis in Phase II. Phase II will provide financial analysis of the preferred engi- neering solutions. The option of privatization will be included in 1161 aSTANLEY CONSULTANTS the analysis. The current plan as developed by the V & K-Dague Report will be evaluated in Phases I and II and serve as the baseline case for comparison. 8. Association With DBE/WBE - Stanley Consultants has previous working relationships with a number of DBE and WBE consulting firms, particularly as it relates to the planning and design of wastewater facilities. At this particular time we have elected not to identify a DBE and/or WBE firm for participation. Upon our selection and when the study approach and scope are more fully defined, Stanley Consul- tants will identify specific areas of project involvement and, with the concurrence of city staff, select a DBE/WBE firm. 9. Privatization - Stanley Consultants has not completed a wastewater or other municipal project involving privatization within the last five years. We have, however, participated in the develop- ment of a variety of innovative funding approaches to financing infra- structure projects as outlined in Item 10, following. 10. Innovative Funding Processes and Construction Methods - In response to the recent funding constraints faced by many of our muni- cipal clients, Stanley Consultants has structured a variety of inno- vative financing arrangements to facilitate project implementation. Examples of financing techniques which have been offered on our proj- ects are "design -build -finance," "shared -savings," and "lease -buy back." Project team member Mr. Duane Kexel has been intimately in- volved in all of these projects and has been supported by the exper- tise of First Chicago Bank, our finance consultant, on your study. Further description of these financing techniques and projects is presented in the Innovative Funding, Processes, and Construction section. Innovative design and construction methods are an ongoing consid- eration for all projects designed by Stanley Consultants. Examples include complete anaerobic digester gas utilization and energy recov- ery; state-of-the-art sludge drying, disinfection, and reuse; and pro- cess monitoring and control via mainframe computer system. Further description of these and other project experience is presented in the Innovative Funding, Processes, and Construction section. 11.

The approach has been divided into two mutually supportive phases. Phase I will develop the engineering and economic analysis of alternative wastewater transport and treatment schemes and facility staging plans. The objective/output of Phase I is to select one or two alternatives and staging plans that provide the optimum engineering solution and have the lowest present worth of costs. Phase II will provide the financial anlaysis, including the privatization option, of the selected alternatives from Phase I. The current facilities and staging plan as developed in the V & K-Dague Report (July, 1983) will be re-evaluated during Phases I and II to serve as the base case for comparison with alternatives developed during the study effort. Phase I Work Tasks Task No. 1. Data Gathering and Review - Review all previous planning and design documents including the I/I, SSES, Facilities Plan, Value Engineering, and Design Inception Reports, and final plans and specifications. Conduct field reconnaisance of proposed sewer routings and treatment plant site. Meet with water quality staff of Iowa Department of 14AWM to evaluate opportunities for equal- ization treatment, and discharge of storm water overflow at remote sites. Task No. 2. Facility Evaluation - Conduct an on-site evaluation of the existing treatment plant and major lift stations. The field survey will be performed by key members and design specialists of the proposed project team. The objective/output of this Task is an in- ventory and assessment of operational and design problems and the condition and projected useful life of treatment processes, struc- tures, and ancillary equipment. Task No. 3. Infiltration Evaluation - Evaluate the cost- effectiveness of alternative means of reducing infiltration flow to the sewer system and reducing the cost of clear water treatment at a central facility. The feasibility and cost of removing foundation drain flow from the system with direct surface discharge or off-site storm water overflow treatment will be evaluated. A recommended strategy for managing the infiltration flows will be developed. Task No. 4. Value Engineering Analysis - Conduct a comprehen- sive "value engineering" analysis on the V & K-Dague Plan using a multidisciplinary team. Although the original design of the facili- ties was subjected to two typical VE studies, the current Plan is significantly different from that reviewed by the previous VE teams. Exemplary differences are the anaerobic digestion process, the bio- logical oxidation towers, the screw -pump lift station, the staging of facilities, and upgrading at the existing treatment works. 110 STANLEY CONSULTANTS Task No. 5. Transport and Treatment Alternatives - Develop alternative transport and treatment schemes. Make maximum use of storm water overflow equalization and treatment rather than convey- ance to central treatment works. Determine facility requirements for upgrading existing treatment plant to provide only sludge handling, or only primary treatment, or complete primary -secondary treatment with off-site sludge handling and storm water treatment. Develop and evaluate staging plans for implementing alternatives. Task No. 6. Economic Analysis - Determine capital and opera- tional costs and environmental impact for staged alternatives. Rank the alternatives based on total present worth, environmental assess- ment, ease of implementation, and constructability. Select preferred alternative(s) for financial analysis under Phase II. The preferred alternative(s) and staging plan(s) will be presented to the City for review and comment and modified accordingly. Work Tasks •aaa "U. I. iuenuuyuiry rin;Rclal objectives — Stanley Consultants will meet with City staff to discuss funding constraints and objectives to be addressed in evaluating various financing plans. Specifically, consideration will be given to trade-offs between present worth of costs and the rate impacts of the project. At some- what greater total cost, early rate shocks can often be mitigated. Outstanding debt will also be examined to determine any re- quirements for refunding of existing debt in conjunction with this project. Task No. 8. Identify and Model Alternative Financing Plans - The purpose of this task is to identify methods of financing that will make implementation of the preferred alternative economically and politically palatable. Alternative financing concepts for evaluation will include, at least, the following: - Conventional debt. - Innovative debt instruments/city retains ownership. - Lease -Buy -Back. - Design-Finance-Build/City retains ownership. - Full privatization. Stanley Consultants will provide project descriptions, cost estimates, and historic operating statements to banks, third -party financiers, and design -build organizations to obtain proposed commercial terms and parameters for the project. Banks will provide suggested approaches to meet the City's objectives using innovative debt instruments. Deferred principal loans, variable payment instruments, and simultaneous short- and long-term borrowing can be used to dampen early cost shocks. Third -party terms for lease -buy-back and design -build approaches will be obtained from associates with whom we are currently develop- ing other projects. Stanley Consultants will then develop computer models which generate pro -forma operating statements for both Iowa City and the potential owner/operator. 110 STANLEY CONSULTANTS Task No. 9. Rate Analysis and Recommendation - Using the models developed in Task No. 8, Stanley Consultants will project the annual cost to the City under each financing plan. Rate increments over time will be plotted to show the pattern of increases required to cover project costs using each financing method. The comparison of rate increments over time and the total present worth of costs against the City's financial objectives will determine the recom- mended financing option for the preferred project. Task No. 10. Prepare Draft and Final Reports - A Draft Report will be prepared presenting the results of alternative development and analysis; staging plans; and economic, rate, and financial analysis. A recommended transport and treatment scheme and staging plan will be identified and compared with the V S K-Dague Plan. The Report will be submitted and presented to appropriate city personnel for review and comment. All review comments will be addressed and incorporated in the Final Report prepared for submittal to the City and regulatory agencies. Task No. 11. Regulatory Review and Approval - The Final Report will be submitted to the Iowa Department WAWM far review and ap- proval.

Project team member Mr. Duane Kexel has been intimately involved with all of these projects. Among the financing techniques being offfered on our projects, the following exmaples are of direct interest to your study. G Stanley Consultants routinely includes computer models illus- trating the potential gains from third -party finance in our feasibility and financing studies. A group of Illinois muni- cipalities (River Cities Associates) is currently evaluating a lease -buy back arrangement proposed by Stanley Consultants for hydroelectric development. In this project we projected that the cities could reduce project costs by more than 20 percent and could eliminate six years of negative cash flows that accure under conventional financing terms. Reference: Mr. Gary L. Zimmerman, Liaison Officer 312/446-2500 • Stanley Consultants is working with the city of Rock Falls, Illinois, and the First Chicago Bank to combine short- and long-term debt instruments in a unique package which yields sufficient arbitrage earnings to offset all interest during construction and to pay a portion of actual construction cost. The First Chicago Bank considers this package to be a breakthrough innovation in municipal finance and has an active interest in further development of this concept for municipal infrastructue investments. In addition, the bank provides access to a wide variety of more traditional financ- ing arrangements. Reference: Mr. John E. Backlund, Assistant Vice President 312/732-1280 e Stanley Consultants has proposed a complete design -build - finance package for a major power plant in the southwest in conjunction with a construction company and a coal company. Reference: Furnished upon request. • Stanley Consultants is offering hospital energy conservation and generation plans on a shared -savings basis with a firm specializing in third -party finance. Reference: Furnished upon request. In summary, Stanley Consultants is currently working with several third -party entities and with a leading Chicago bank on developing a variety of approaches to financing municipal infra- structure. Because of their dominant position in municipal finance in Illinois, the First Chicago Bank is committed to developing fi- nancing methods that allow needed infrastructure investments to be made. They are thus ideally suited to work with Stanley Consultants to identify and evaluate the most advantageous approach for the Iowa City Wastewater Plan. 1161 STANLEY CONSULTANTS Innovative Processes and Construction Innovative design and construction methods are an ongoing con- sideration for all projects designed by Stanley Consultants. Speci- fic examples from recent or current projects are described below: a Albuquerque, New Mexico: 1. Complete utilization of digester gas and energy recovery. Includes electric power generation, hot water heating, and waste heat recovery. 2. Odor control with carbon adsorption capable of in-place regeneration with caustic. 3.
