The CITY’s water system, public water supply identification number (PWSID) ͯͱ͵ͬʹͳ͵, includes these three WTPs as well as a single, interconnected, distribution system. WTP No. ͭ has an ion exchange (IX) system for disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor removal followed by tray aeration for sulfide removal and disinfection with sodium hypochlorite. WTP No. ͮ and ͯ add sodium hypochlorite for disinfection followed by tray aeration for sulfide removal. Since WTPs No. ͮ and ͯ currently dose disinfectant prior to aeration, the sodium hypochlorite likely reacts with the hydrogen sulfide in the raw groundwater, inhibiting the efficiency of the aerators. WTP No. ͭ previously dosed sodium hypochlorite before aeration, like the other two WTPs. Carollo Engineers, Inc. (CONSULTANT) assisted the CITY with permitting to move the WTP No. ͭ chlorine injection point to the base of the aerators, sampled for total sulfide at various points in the treatment process. Under a subsequent project, the CONSULTANT designed a new pipeline between the ground storage tanks and high service pumps with sufficient volume to meet four-log disinfection requirements. This new header was permitted with a new chlorine injection point and four-log demonstration and became operational in ͮͬͮͭ. This scope of services authorizes the CONSULTANT to assist with permitting efforts to move the chlorine injection points at WTPs No. ͮ and ͯ and to evaluate sulfide removal at the WTPs by collecting field samples. Additional support services and testing are also included. The findings and recommendations from the sulfide evaluation will be summarized in a project memorandum for the CITY. Additionally, Carollo will provide coordination for the caustic squeeze process at WTP No. ͭ and assist with flow data verification. The following presents the specific tasks that will be performed as part of this Scope of Services. Certain assumptions have been made in preparing this Scope of Services. To the extent possible, they are stated herein, and are reflected in the attached Project Budget. This Scope of Work is summarized by the following tasks:  Task ͭ – Project Management and Meetings  Task ͮ – Permitting Assistance  Task ͯ – Total Sulfide Sampling and Removal Evaluation  Task Ͱ – Additional Water Quality Sampling  Task ͱ – Ion Exchange Optimization  Task Ͳ – Flow Data Verification  Task ͳ – As-Needed Distribution/Collection System Support 481 CITY of Winter Springs Potable Water System Technical Support Page ͮ The CONSULTANT will coordinate quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for the project, facilitated by a Quality Manager assigned to the project. TASK ͭ – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS The CONSULTANT will perform project management tasks including the following: ͭ. Manage project team, activities, and budget. ͮ.

TASK ͮ – PERMITTING ASSISTANCE Injection Relocation Permitting The CONSULTANT will prepare a major modification permit application for submittal to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the addition of chlorine injection points at the base of the tray aerators at WTPs No. ͮ and ͯ. This scope assumes FDEP will require only one permit application for both chlorine injection point relocations. FDEP will require the following documentation: a. Application for a Specific Permit to Construct PWS Components with project description and drawing(s). b. Detailed cost estimate showing the project is under ͈ͭͬ,ͬͬͬ. c. Certification of Construction Completion and Request for Clearance to Place Permitted PWS Components into Operation with attached record drawings and photos. d. Revision to the chlorine injection point locations description in the facility O&M manual. e. Permit application fee (͈ͭ,ͬͬͬ), paid by City. The CONSULTANT will complete the required forms, drawings, and documentation. It is assumed the CITY will complete the construction of the additional injection points and pay the permit application fees. Ͱ-Log Documentation Updates In conjunction with the work to move the injection point, the CONSULTANT will prepare updated Ͱ-log documentation for WTPs No. ͮ and ͯ based on the requirements in Ch. Ͳͮ-ͱͱͱ.ͯͮͬ and Ͳͮ-ͱͱͱ.ͱͮͬ, F.A.C. A revision package will be prepared and submitted to the FDEP, which includes the design level of virus inactivation to be achieved, the design minimum contact time (CT), and other required information to document Ͱ log treatment at WTPs No. ͮ and ͯ. Permitting fees are not anticipated or included for the Ͱ-log revision. 482 CITY of Winter Springs Potable Water System Technical Support Page ͯ Task ͮ Deliverables:  Permitting documents, to be submitted electronically in .pdf format.  Supporting calculations and documents, including Ͱ-log revision data and information, to be submitted electronically in .pdf format. TASK ͯ – TOTAL SULFIDE SAMPLING AND REMOVAL EVALUATION The CONSULTANT will take field total sulfide measurements from the raw water wells of WTPs No. ͭ, ͮ, and ͯ and at various points in the treatment process of WTP No. ͭ to understand existing conditions. A previous sulfide evaluation of WTP No. ͭ, by the CONSULTANT, involved temporarily moving the chlorine injection to the bottom of the aerators. Now that sodium hypochlorite is dosed after the aerator and ground storage tanks (GSTs) at WTP No. ͭ, this task will identify the total sulfide reduction achieved before oxidation with sodium hypochlorite. The CONSULTANT will coordinate with the CITY and WTP staff for sampling assistance, oversight, and access. The results of this task will be discussed during Meeting ͯ, budgeted in Task ͭ, and summarized in a project memorandum. This task also includes an evaluation of tray aerator sunshield equipment, aerator disinfection alternatives, and next steps for sulfide removal. The CONSULTANT will contact vendors, research tray aerator sunshields and disinfection alternatives, and provide recommendations in a memorandum based on findings. The key activities during this task will include: ͭ) The CONSULTANT will collect and analyze samples from the following locations for total sulfide. A total of up to forty-six (ͰͲ) samples will be analyzed for total sulfide. The CONSULTANT will coordinate with CITY and/or WTP staff to sample when wells are operational, so water quality sampling is representative. A preliminary list of sampling locations is listed below, but the CONSULTANT will work with the CITY and WTP staff to finalize the number of samples and sampling locations prior to beginning the work. a) WTP No. ͭ: i) Wells ͭE, ͮE, ͯE, ͰE, each tested in duplicate. ii) Pre-GSTs, tested in duplicate (three separate trips). iii) GST No. ͭ sampling point, tested in duplicate (three separate trips). iv) GST No. ͮ sampling point, tested in duplicate (three separate trips). b) WTP No. ͮ: i) Wells ͯW and ͲW, each tested in duplicate. ii) GST sampling point (base of the aerator prior to sodium hypochlorite addition), tested in duplicate (ͯ separate trips). c) WTP No. ͯ: i) Wells ͰW and ͱW, each tested in duplicate. ii) GST sampling point (base of the aerator prior to sodium hypochlorite addition), tested in duplicate (ͯ separate trips). Samples to be collected at the base of the aerators will require additional sampling assistance from the CITY. The results of the assessment will be compiled in a summary project memorandum to document the findings and recommendations for next steps by the CITY. 483 CITY of Winter Springs Potable Water System Technical Support Page Ͱ Task ͯ Deliverables:  Slides presented during Meeting ͯ, to be submitted electronically.  Draft and Final Sulfide Evaluation Memorandum, to be submitted electronically in .pdf format.
