Dear Members of the Selection Committee:

CLIENT-FOCUSED APPROACH / For 11 years, McKim & Creed has served as a consultant to Hernando County (County), successfully partnering on a wide variety of engineering services for water, wastewater and reclaimed water projects. These projects have included the development of the County’s water master plan, several pipeline design projects and survey work. Mitch Chiavaroli, PE, has been hand-selected to fi ll the role of project manager for this project. Mr. Chiavaroli has extensive experience working on large, complex, master planning projects and served as the project manager on the County’s previous water master plan. Over the years, he has established strong professional relationships with various County staff ensuring means for eff ective and open communication along with a unique understanding of Hernando County’s goals for this project. While our history of collaboration and direct experience with developing the County’s previous water master plan have provided us with extensive knowledge of the County’s existing water infrastructure, it has also instilled an understanding of the future challenges the County faces along with an established level of trust among County staff . For example, we recognize the forecasted growth anticipated within the northern and eastern quadrants of the County requiring new water sources. We understand that various community developments halted in 2008 are now beginning to re-develop along with additional communities placing a larger forecasted demand on the County’s water supply. We understand the County’s primary issues and concerns to be addressed within this Master Plan Update are:

• Future demands within the north and eastern parts of the county• Receiving available SWFWMD credits and funding• Expanding the eastern wellfi eld• Identifying alternate water sources• Monitoring and maintaining superior water qualityMcKim & Creed will work alongside the County to update the existing water master plan to accurately refl ect the projected growth in the east and will be mindful to include the City of Brooksville’s forecasted demands in the model. To accomplish this, we will update the existing hydraulic model for both the water distribution and supply systems by evaluating system pressures, water age, demand vs. supply, fi re protection, treatment capacity, hydraulic limitations, and well fi eld capacity. We will update the existing model to refl ect current conditions and develop alternatives scenarios necessary to meet the County’s 15-year fore-casted demand. We will use the resulting information along with historic failure data, institutional knowledge and determined criticality of failure to develop and prioritize necessary improvements to be included in the master plan. With proper planning, this project can be completed in an eff ective, timely manner to assist the County with expediting this project schedule. We will coordinate closely with County staff and the ongoing reclaimed water master planning eff orts when determining the forecasted demands throughout the County and to assist with receiving all available SWFWMD credits.

EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH WATER MASTER PLANNING EFFORTS / The McKim & Creed team has completed more than 20 master plans for Florida Clients during the last 10 years, totaling over $3 billion dollars in capital improvements. Most notably, we completed the previous water master plan for Hernando County almost seven years ago. Our experience is refl ected in the scope of services which match the proposed scope of services identifi ed for this water master planning update. We have performed services ranging from growth projections, water treatment design, infrastructure assessment, R&R prioritization with costs for CIP updates, hydraulic modeling updates, modeling software evaluations for standardization, and owner’s staff training for several utilities across the state. These services have been performed to identify both future capacity needs and limitations within treatment facilities, distribution systems and supply systems.

RE : RFQ #18-r00084/ph Eng ineer ing Services for Potable Water Master PlanHYDRAULIC MODELING EXPERTISE / We understand the County requires a design fi rm experienced with Water CAD hydraulic modeling software to provide updates to the existing hydraulic model. We have exhibited our skills and capabilities within this software while developing the previous water master planning hydraulic model. McKim & Creed has developed models using this software and various other modeling software. This knowledge of various modeling software is critical to ensure consistency between the water, wastewater and reclaimed water master planning updates and their respective models. It is also important when considering incorporation of the County’s Asset Management system to identify the most eff ective way to incorporate asset information into the model. McKim & Creed’s local hydraulic modelers provide an array of expertise with various software including WaterCAD, Bentley WaterGEMS, Innovyze InfoWater, Innovyze InfoWorks, Innovyze InfoMaster, PCSWMM and others. We have performed hundreds of evaluations and comparisons of the latest versions of the available software for numerous utility owners throughout the southeast, to determine which software best meets their needs. We will use this breadth of knowledge to ensure the County’s model is operating most effi ciently and will coordinate the water master planning software with the ongoing Reclaimed Water Master Planning Project to ensure consistency and standardization. This will further facilitate the ease of training County staff on the hydraulic modeling software and developed modeling scenarios. We are committed to educating and training County staff on the developed model. Should the County desire, we will commit our lead, local hydraulic modeler performing the work to be stationed at the County’s engineering offi ce during the data collection and staff training phases of this project to ensure eff ortless communication between staff . This added fl exibility will truly provide the County with the “updateable” model desired to, predict and respond to economic swings, political issues, aging infrastructure, and proposed developments.

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS / With more than 120 Florida-based professionals and the support of 460+ staff members compa-ny-wide, McKim & Creed can provide in-house 90 percent of the sub-disciplines required for this project. In addition to the services we off er in-house and to more eff ectively serve the County by providing a comprehensive team to perform the water master plan update, we have an exclusive teaming agreement with WSP to perform all necessary water source assessments and water supply planning eff orts. McKim & Creed has partnered with WSP on various similar projects over the years to successfully complete wa-ter master planning eff orts throughout Florida. We have also partnered with the following additional subconsultants to off er the following services under this contract:

• PRMG, Inc. - assist the County to identify any potential rate increases which may be impacted due to any additional funding necessary where grants may not cover all associated expenses.

• The Berryhill Group, LLC - evaluate the County’s funding eff orts to provide expertise and new perspectives to obtain additional funding and credits for both the County and the public.

• Pure Technologies - provide expertise in pressure pipe assessment that can be implemented in areas of concerns throughout the County to assist with R&R prioritization and CIP updates.

Response Summary and Questionnaire Responses


A. Project UnderstandingMcKim & Creed understands Hernando County is seeking an engineering fi rm to update its water master plan and hydraulic model in order to meet current and future water supply demands for the County’s citizens. McKim & Creed expects to perform the following scope items:

• Water Master Planning• Growth Forecasting• Water Source Assessment• Water Supply Planning• Hydraulic Modeling• Investigations and Analysis• Training to HCUD Staff • Infrastructure Assessment• R&R Services• Cost Estimating and PrioritizationThe Hernando County Utilities Department (HCUD) currently has a County-wide Water Use Permit (WUP) for its primary service areas. This WUP is for a total average daily withdrawal of 23.3 mgd to meet the projected demand through 2035. The current WUP is based on all the proposed withdrawal for the water being produced using the current facilities but may need to be modifi ed to refl ect the anticipated growth throughout the County. However, due to the age of many of the existing facilities, new projected growth areas, and current and future regulatory constraints, the County continues to assess new potential sites, mostly in northern and eastern Hernando County, for potential new sources of water to supply future demands or replace existing supplies, if necessary. For this reason, we have an exclusive partnership with WSP to assess current and potential future water sources to be included within the water master plan.

We understand the County’s primary issues and concerns to be:• Future demands within the north and eastern parts of the county• Receiving available SWFWMD credits and funding

• Expanding the eastern wellfi eld

• Identifying alternate water sources

• Monitoring and maintaining superior water quality

These issues and concerns are described in further detail and addressed individually within the subsequent project approach.

McKim & Creed understands that as the County continues to grow and develop, more advanced regional treatment facilities may be required. We have a strong comprehension of the 2014 Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority (WRWSA) which evaluated various supply sources such as surface water, groundwater, reuse, water conservation and seawater desalination. It was determined that within the WRWSA four-county region, Hernando County’s greatest opportunity for water source alternatives would be through water conservation, reuse and groundwater. The County has developed an eff ective Water Awareness Program throughout the County in an eff ort to conserve water. We will work closely with the ongoing reclaimed water master planning eff orts and proposed wellfi eld improvements to meet the needs of the rapidly growing County.

KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT:• Careful listening to the County’s needs and goals• Regular and clear project communication• Timeliness of report analysis and preparation• Clear master plan analysis and recommendations• Eff ective utilization of technology such as GIS and

hydraulic model data• Integration of information obtained from the other

master planning eff orts and water studies performed in this area

• Providing proper training to County staff for future model use

These keys to success will be instituted and refl ected in all project-related activities and deliverables.

The ability of our personnel, our past experience and performance, and our project approach will deliver a quality and cost-eff ective project that will be embraced by the County’s planning and engineering staff , and the public.

PROJECT APPROACHThe County desires a comprehensive program for the evaluation of the fi nished water distribution system, water supply system and upgrade of the existing hydraulic model. The program will consist of several key components to address the needs of HCUD. The water master plan scope of services identifi ed within the Project Understanding has been broken down further into fi ve primary components to serve as a project approach outline that includes:• Evaluation of the existing model components and model update• Evaluation of existing water demands and development of future

demand projections• Evaluation of water supply alternatives

WSP brings a long history of familiarity with the County’s water quality, water sources, hydrogeological information, and current water use permitting. This exclusive partnership provides us insight and understanding into the County’s existing water supply unmatched by any other competitor.

• Evaluation of Capital Improvement Plan for the 15-year study period into fi ve-year increments• Training and support

The results of these eff orts will provide the HCUD with the improvements needed to maintain the existing distribution system and to develop the improvements needed for the planned future growth of the distribution system.

It is important that the “process” utilized to develop this program be implemented in a logical and effi cient manner. It is just as important that the process involve the HCUD staff each step of the way. McKim & Creed’s approach for this process and development of the updated model and comprehensive program is depicted in the following process fl ow diagram and presented in more detail through the remainder of this section.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT Provide training for HCUD staff upon model completion

Assist HCUD with follow-up model support as necessary

EVALUATION OF EXISTING MODEL COMPONENTS AND MODEL UPDATE There are several steps involved in the evaluation of the existing model that will be incorporated in the update as follow:• Review of existing pipe network• Review of existing GIS database• Review of existing water demands• Evaluate existing operational data• Prepare Data Gap Memorandum• Perform Infrastructure Assessment• Model calibration

The key to successful model development is in the GIS data, and the initial step in development is a thorough GIS evaluation to understand the structure and detail of the available data for updating the model. The most sustainable approach to a water system model is to use the data available in the GIS to build the hydraulic model, maintaining system connections between the two data sources to allow data to move back and forth freely. We used the County’s existing GIS information in the development of the original water master planning hydraulic model and will incorporate the updated GIS information into the existing model to ensure constancy and accuracy. With a standard approach to GIS updates, the data can be used for seamless updates to the model. We will work closely with you to develop your model and GIS standards with proper documentation that provides the means for future model growth. The County’s new model should be built with sustainability in mind and ease of model updates.

EXISTING WATER DEMANDSDevelopment of accurately located water system demands is a key function to model accuracy and calibration. McKim & Creed will review the existing water demand information and stratify by the various categories of residential, commercial, institutional and industrial users. We will utilize growth projections developed by the County’s Planning Department to develop a foundation for the proposed demands throughout the County. The demand evaluation will also include review of current population projections from the Southwest Florida Water Management District water management information system, and discussions with Hernando County Planning and Zoning Department staff to discuss current trends and plans for large scale developments that went dormant after the economic slowdown but are now generating new activity. This information will be utilized to determine the average daily demands, max day demands, peak demands (peaking factors), diurnal demands and other factors, like continuous (24/7) demand sources in the system, in order to accurately establish the base line data. The developed demand projects will also be compared to the demands originally estimated in the previous water master plan to identify changes in anticipated growth and to develop more accurate diurnal demand forecasts.

OPERATIONAL DATA While the previous water master planning hydraulic model developed by McKim & Creed is almost seven years old, it has been updated periodically over the years so it still contains key system elements such as water tank data, pump curve information, pressure zone boundary data, baseline water system demands, critical water system valves, and much more. We will review this information with the County’s staff to ensure the current updated information is contained in the model. McKim & Creed will also meet with your engineering and operations staff in a series of knowledge-gathering informational workshops. This is an additional advantage that we off er the County since we will commit to placing our lead hydraulic modeler in the County's offi ce during the data collection phase to ease communication and ensure all pertinent data is obtained, should the County desire. This will enable us to get a full understanding of the system operations on a daily basis so we can incorporate that information into the model controls. We also have the ability to evaluate historical SCADA data, create data trending, and link data to operational parameters that can be incorporated into the model to create realistic control strategies that simulate fi eld operations.

Once the controls are incorporated in the model and initial modeling scenarios are created for the water system, the model results will be reviewed with the staff , again in a workshop setting, to allow for feedback and input on the simulation results as compared to fi eld knowledge. This is a key step in verifi cation and calibration of the model.

DATA GAP ANALYSIS AND INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENTA Data Gap Technical Memorandum will be developed and submitted to the County for consideration to obtain additional information or verifi cation outside of the provided survey information, identifi ed hydraulic modeling or GIS potential errors/discrepancies, and other historical data. Field investigations will be used to collect additional information necessary to calibrate the hydraulic model and get a clear understanding of historical operating issues. It will be important

to conduct these fi eld investigations early in the process and interview County staff to determine critical issues. During the fi eld investigations, we will perform infrastructure assessment in areas with historic failures, concern due to age and material, and identifi ed hydraulic restrictions. To accomplish this, we have assembled a comprehensive team to assess all aspects of the County’s existing infrastructure. McKim & Creed will perform any necessary wellhead, process mechanical, structural, electrical, and I&C/SCADA assessments in-house. To perform pressure pipe assessments within the distribution system, we have teamed with Pure Technologies to off er their full range of technology and expertise. The condition inspection results will be augmented by a review of other County data including operator interviews, operating history data and equipment maintenance history to determine performance and reliability. The condition fi ndings and estimated remaining useful life for each inspected facility and asset will be provided back to the County in a format that can be migrated into a future asset inventory and CIP updates.

MODEL CALIBRATION Historically, a work element titled “Model Calibration” would be included in this process, and so we did just that! At its core, this implies that the model confi guration and parameters must be adjusted to make the model output and predictions concur with what is really happening in the system because, as constructed, it does not. When the model is built with the correct physical confi guration information (geospatial data correct or corrected from the GIS system), and actual operating and control strategies and set points, the task of calibrating becomes minor tweaking, as the model already largely refl ects reality.

Extended period simulation (EPS) model calibration provides information for the development of a diurnal curve pattern for the County’s water system to apply to the EPS model. With detailed water use data, it may be possible to create user specifi c diurnal curve patterns for large water users to further enhance system demand distribution and improve the model accuracy.

LESSONS LEARNED:• Well-distributed demands are critical for precisely identifying

areas of concern• A detailed and well-connected pipe network which is linked from

the GIS data is imperative to accurately refl ected water age and water quality concerns

• Accurate operational controls which are extracted from SCADA information and operator knowledge to ensure eff ective system looping and accurate demands

Demands will be distributed based on water usage data, County input, Zoning and Planning, and SWFWMD data to ensure accurate representation. We will perform a detailed comparison of the existing GIS model and hydraulic model to eff ectively identify system connectivity diff erences. System operations and controls will be addressed through close coordination with County staff and evaluation of existing SCADA data. We are also committed to immersing our lead hydraulic modeler into County staff , if desired, during the data collection and calibration phases to further increase the eff ectiveness of these coordination eff orts. By implementing the key lessons learned above using the approach described for each item, we are able to increase model detail and accuracy while decreasing the level of calibration eff ort required.


EVALUATION OF EXISTING WATER DEMANDS AND DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE DEMAND PROJECTIONS Future demands will be projected using the current demands/fl ow rates described above and projected future growth as determined through review of available GIS data including traffi c analysis zones (TAZ), land use, and future zoning. Additionally, McKim & Creed will collaborate with existing planning eff orts completed by the County and the ongoing wastewater and reclaimed water master planning completed by others. When developing future demand projections, McKim & Creed will work closely with County staff to assess what portions of current potable water demand may be eliminated or reduced by plans to supplement with reclaimed water supply. This may vary greatly depending on how aggressive the County plans to implement reclaimed water system improvements in the future. Another important factor to consider when developing the future fl ow projections are impacts of water conservation measures required by the County or state within the 15-year planning period. The County has already developed a strong public outreach program called Water Awareness which educates the community on water use, rules and impacts. More stringent County-wide water conservation requirements would likely result in lower average demands than those currently being measured and thereby impact future demand projections. Finally, changes in inter-local agreements for “wheeling water” to adjacent water systems may impact the water demands that the County is committed to meeting in the future should agreements be obtained with Pasco County or other surrounding municipalities. It is understood that Pasco County is interested in forming an inter-local agreement with Hernando County to assist with meeting their fi re protection needs.

WATER SUPPLY PLANNINGBased on the revised population and water demand projections, we will assess where the increased demands are located within the County, and whether new sources will be needed to meet this demand. Water supply planning and source assessment will include the review and evaluation of the physical capabilities of the existing wells to meet demand increases and regulatory constraints that may aff ect the availability of existing and proposed water sources. The McKim & Creed team understands the ongoing projects within the wellfi elds such as the Southside Well Replacements involving the relocation of three wells from within the Duke ROW, the upcoming wellfi eld improvement projects the County is interested in performing through a Design-Build Approach, and the anticipated wellfi eld expansion projects associated to the growth within the north and east County regions. WSP will evaluate new or revised potential well sites for suitability based on local hydrogeologic conditions, water quality, and permitting issues such as impacts to lakes, wetlands, spring and river minimum fl ows, existing wells, and water use caution or well fi eld impact areas (i.e. the Cross Bar Ranch Well Field). Future water demand will likely continue to be obtained primarily from ground-water sources. Additional ground-water will be obtained via a combination of expansion of existing well fi elds, interconnection of water systems, or development of new wellfi elds. Hydrogeologic issues are but one aspect of the planning considerations for development of additional ground water supplies.

WSP will perform a variety of activities to address the hydrogeologic issues including:• Ground-water modeling to assess the relative impacts from

diff erent ground-water withdrawal scenarios,• Assessment of regulatory issues related to new well locations,

such as impacts to adjacent users,• Assessment of water resource issues related to new well

locations, such as water quality, impacts to springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands, and proximity to sinkhole prone areas,

• Evaluation of wellhead protection zones and the existence of prohibitive land uses at proposed new well sites.

Water supply plans can be aff ected by setting of new Minimum Flow and Levels (MFLs) on water bodies and aquifer levels in the region. For example, the movement of future groundwater sources to the northern part of the County was largely infl uenced by the setting of MFLs on Weeki Wachee Spring and several lakes in the southwestern portion of the County. Future MFLs will be set on springs and rivers to the north of the County that may aff ect the ability to obtain new quantities in the northern portion of the County. If needed, WSP can participate in workshops related to the setting of these MFLs, and perform a technical review of the methodology used to determine the MFLs to protect the interests of Hernando County.

In addition, we will review and assess updates of the Withlacoochee Regional Water Supply Authority (WRWSA) Master Regional Water Supply Plan. This plan, co-funded by the SWFWMD, contains recommendations for development of regional water supply projects in a framework to eventually interconnect member government water systems and provide regional alternative water sources. WSP will assess WRWSA planning and source development activities and advise the HCUD of the potential eff ects on HCUD water supply planning and development.

The WRWSA Master Regional Water Supply Plan does not include any regional alternative water sources within Hernando County. The primary relatively untapped resource that the County has available is reclaimed water. We will evaluate the potential for uses of reclaimed water to off set the use of groundwater to meet future demands in the County. Potential uses include expansion of reclaimed water irrigation to reduce residential demand or replace groundwater currently used for irrigation by other users such as golf courses. Additionally, targeted indirect recharge of the aquifer using reclaimed water is becoming a feasible alternative source method to off set draw-down impacts. This aspect of the plan will require coordination with the project team currently preparing the wastewater/reclaimed water master plans for the County.

The McKim & Creed team continuously monitors proposed legislation that could impact county and municipal utilities, such as Senate Bill 1094 and House Bill 7063 that propose climate change/resiliency and asset management guidelines, respectively, as prerequisites for state funding. These modifi cations to current legislation have currently been “shelved” but may likely re-surface in the near future. For this reason, our comprehensive master planning team has also been equipped with our Climate Resiliency expert, Craig Wells, PE, ENV SP. Craig has met with and discussed climate resiliency with many County staff members and is working with municipalities all over Florida to combat this ever growing concern.


EVALUATION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN In order to develop the 15-year CIP there are three main drivers and their subsets that are essential in the development of the CIP:

• Maintaining the existing system• Repair and replacement needs to replace failed or aged

system components• System improvements/enhancements to maintain and/or

improve the current level of services• Planned future growth

• System improvements/enhancements to support future growth

• System interconnections with other utilities for emergency response

• Regulatory • Improvements needed to meet current regulatory

requirements• Improvements needed to meet pending regulatory

requirements

This will identify system component needs such as:• Transmission/distribution mains

• Elevated storage• Booster pumping facilities• System interconnections

• Pressure zone refi nement

This information will be reviewed with the County’s staff in workshop settings to assess the results and validate the fi ndings. Once input has been received and adjustments made to the list of recommended projects, the order of prioritization of the projects must be determined. There are several factors that will be utilized in the prioritization process as follows:• Population service areas• Critical users – hospitals, emergency response, etc.• Critical components – booster stations, transmission mains,

etc.• Age of existing components• Repair and maintenance frequency/intervals• Growth areas• Areas of special interestWeighting factors will be determined and assigned for each of these prioritization factors. Each identifi ed project will then be assessed to determine which and how many prioritization factors are assigned to each individual project. This process will assist in determining and arranging project priorities. A follow-up workshop will be held with County staff to review this process and to achieve an agreement on priorities, again to validate and adjust the fi ndings. The next step will be to develop cost opinions for each of the identifi ed projects. Cost opinion development will not be limited to just capital costs but will include consideration for operating and maintenance costs providing a life cycle cost development for better planning and decision making with the development of the CIP. With the results of the prioritization and cost opinions, the 5-year increments of the CIP program can be developed. Each of the three, 5-year increments,

will be combined to develop the draft 15-year CIP program document. The draft CIP program will be reviewed with County staff to aff ord adjustments to the program. Before fi nalizing the CIP program, we recommend that the County involve their rate consultant, PRMG Inc. and our partner, the Berryhill Group, LLC, in evaluating the impact of the projected projects on the County’s debt service, bond capacity and user rates. Don Berryhill, PE, is the former Bureau Chief of Water Facilities Funding, at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection where he managed the SRF programs and various other funding programs for 20 years. Since his retirement from the FDEP, he has continued to devote his eff orts to assist local governments in securing funding for water infrastructure projects throughout the state. He has over 45 years of experience in responsible positions within state government and within the private sector providing assistance to cities, counties, and their consultants in seeking and administering funds for water projects for the past 26 years. He is skilled in guiding the Facilities Planning process and in the compliance administration of funds from both loan and grant sources. This will determine the viability of the initial proposed CIP schedule from a fi scal and sustainability standpoint. Once completed, the fi nal CIP document will be furnished.

TRAINING AND SUPPORTMcKim & Creed’s goal is to leave you with a viable CIP program and a fully capable, accurate and functional model; but more importantly, a model that you own, in every sense of the word. That means familiarizing and training your staff in both the precepts of modeling (as may be necessary) and the operation and use of the software and with the updated County model. This can be accomplished through a series of workshops with HCUD staff . Of course, we are right here with you every step of the way — now and into the future—as you need or desire. Our goal is for the County staff to be responsible for the use and oversight of the model and to become the “model experts” capable of training successive “generations” of staff and modelers. As each project from the CIP has been implemented, these components can be added into the model as part of the updating format.

We strive to provide the County with the knowledge to expand its modeling capabilities and further advance its modeling knowledge in order to fully utilize the model and the tools available. The future of the County’s new model can include system transient analyses, energy management and optimization, fi re fl ow modeling, and more. McKim & Creed can provide you with the model and knowledge to maximize your investment.

system for the City of North Port. The treated water produced by the new RO WTP is blended with the treated water from the existing plant in appropriate ratios necessary to meet regulatory requirements for total dissolved solids and sulfates. The design of the project included scheduling and phasing of the new facilities to ensure the ability of the existing plant to produce water during construction. Coordination needed to meet the requirements for obtaining the SWFWMD cooperative funding were also provided as part of this project.

Venice RO Membrane Replacement and SCADA Improvements Design-Build | Venice, FLPrincipal for progressive design-build project that entailed engineering design and construction services to replace four 1.1 mgd reverse osmosis (RO) skids at the City of Venice’s water treatment plant. The City's prior RO system utilized a single-stage design to operate at 50% recovery, with the ability to expand to a two-stage, high-recovery system in the future. For the wellfi eld stage of this RO replacement project, McKim & Creed performed a detailed analysis of the city’s 14 groundwater supply wells, reviewed historic water quality and supply data for the individual wells and developed a wellfi eld operational matrix that the City uses to help operate the wellfi eld. The project also included analysis and improvement of wireless communications between each of the wells sites, storage tank sites, and the water treatment plant.

City of Clearwater Northeast APCF Disinfection Facility | Clearwater, FLProject Manager for this project to design two options for a new disinfection system at the Northeast APC Facility so the City could competitively bid the options to construct the system. The two optional systems designed included a chlorine building and feed system, and an on-site hypochlorite system. Based on competitive bids and an evaluation of capital and operating costs, the City elected to construct the bulk sodium hypochlorite building and chemical feed system. The project was constructed as part of the Northeast Organics Expansion project and the Northeast Reclaimed Water Storage and Pumping Facility, both also designed by McKim & Creed.

Pinellas County Disinfection Alternatives Evaluation |Pinellas County, FLProject Manager for evaluation of the disinfection process alternatives available to the County for the high-level disinfection of treated wastewater to the levels required for discharge and for use as reclaimed water from two advanced wastewater treatment facilities, a 33 mgd plant and a 9 mgd plant that utilized gaseous chlorine for effl uent disinfection. The options included continued gaseous chlorine disinfection, disinfection using a dilute sodium hypochlorite solution, either purchased in bulk or generated on-site, ultra-violet light disinfection, or chlorine

dioxide. In light of pending effl uent quality limitations for the disinfection byproducts such as dibromochloromethane and bromodichloromethane, the alternatives considered would allow the County to meet these lowered disinfection by-product limits. Specifi cally, disinfection utilizing chlorine dioxide showed some promise and was evaluated for augmentation of the treatment system or complete implementation as a primary disinfectant. The study, executed in two phases, determined the capital costs and long-term operational costs of the alternatives, as well as addressed the safety and eff ectiveness of the disinfectant. The study addressed chemical supply issues such as availability, reliability of supply, vendor options, delivery, storage and handling requirements.

Manatee County Sodium Hypochlorite, Phases 1 and 2 | Manatee County, FLProject Manager during Phase 1 to assist Manatee County in preparing permits for the temporary utilization of sodium hypochlorite for disinfection of the water supply at the County's Water Treatment Plant. The County constructed temporary storage and feed systems to convert gaseous chlorine system to sodium hyypochlorite. Permanent chemical storage and feed systems will be designed by McKim & Creed in a future phase. Phase 2 included the design and permitting of the permanent system installation. Permanent chemical storage tanks were housed in the existing chlorine building so the required demolition of the gaseous chlorine system and the construction of the permanent system could be completed with the existing gas chlorination system out of service. This project was fast-tracked in order to transition from the temporary tank system to the permanent tanks as quickly as possible. The County self-performed much of the construction of the new system.

City of Clearwater Northeast APCF Disinfection Alternatives | Clearwater, FLProject Manager for evaluation of disinfection alternatives to measure options to utilizing chlorine gas. The continued use of gaseous chlorine was evaluated, as well as the use of sodium hypochlorite either generated on-site or purchased in bulk, and low and medium pressure ultraviolet systems.

2DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED / Hernando County Utilities Department (HCUD) purchased the Spring Hill utility systems from Florida Water Services, more than doubling the size of the County’s water system. This acquisition and the continued increase in the demand for drinking water prompted the initiation of a Water Supply Master Plan. This proj-ect included the evaluation of the two existing water systems, determination of strategies to merge the operations of the two systems to meet current and future demands, merging of the Water Use Permits for the systems, and development of a 20-Year Master Water Supply Plan. The Water Supply Plan development included water demand forecasts based on population growth projections, identification of new well sites, hydrogeologic assessments and modeling, water quality assessments and determination of treatment requirements, use of hydraulic modeling to determine water transmission and distribution needs to address flow and pressure requirements and system reliability, and development of a Capital Improvements Plan with prioritized projects and capital costs. McKim & Creed was assisted by WSP (formerly LBG) for the hydrogeologic assessments, groundwater modeling and site selection of well field expansions for this planning effort. Fol-lowing acceptance of the master plan, McKim & Creed provided engineering design and construction phase services for the top three priority projects.

2DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED / McKim & Creed was assisted by WSP , with the expansion of existing City of Clearwater Well Fields #1 and #3. WSP assisted McKim & Creed and the City with a detailed hydrogeologic evaluation in support of an application for modifying the WUP through the SWFWMD. The expansion consisted of 13 new supply wells and seven new monitoring wells dispersed around wellfield #1 and #3 as part of updating the City’s Water Supply Master Plan. Phase I included planning, design, and engineering and hydrogeological services during well construction and testing. Phase II consisted of preparation of construction contract documents for wells and pipelines, installation and testing of all new wells, and refurbishment of existing wells. There were also several permitted wells that were never installed that were selected as part of the master planning efforts for future water supply.

A three-dimensional groundwater flow model was developed using the SWFWMD District-Wide Regulatory Model (DWRM2) to evaluate draw-down in the surficial and Upper Floridian aquifers at the proposed quantities. The drawdown information was used to assess potential impacts to adjacent users, lakes, wetland levels and movement of the freshwater/saltwater interface.

A Well Field Management Plan was developed to minimize draw-down impacts on the groundwater resources and City’s well fields. A dedicated monitoring well program for monitoring water-levels and water quality was developed and included in the Wellfield Management Plan. The permit was approved by SWFWMD for the requested well field expansion.

Services were also provided for well construction supervision and aquifer pumping tests associated with this expansion of the two well fields. Wellfield #1 is for development of brackish water supply to RO plant #1 and wellfield #3 is for the de-velopment of fresh water. The wells were installed and two 10-day aquifer performance tests performed for this well field expansion project after the WUP was issued. After the wells were operating for a period, the data for these new wells along with the aquifer test results, were used to successfully modify the WUP by increasing the withdrawal rates for meeting the City’s water demands. The 13 new supply wells each have the ability to produce, on the average, approximately 250,000 gpd. Both well field expansions were successful.

1 MANATEE COUNTY | MR. MARK SIMPSON | 410 66TH STREET WEST BRADENTON, FL 34210 | 341.792.8811 X 5258 | [email protected]

2DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED / Manatee County tasked McKim & Creed to explore development of addi-tional water supplies from groundwater resources to update the current Master Plan meeting the growing water demands of its customers and to provide greater reliability and flexibility in the operation of existing facilities. McKim & Creed, with assistance of WSP, conducted screening of potential well field and treatment facility sites across the County to determine viable alternatives. The site feasibility considered hydrogeologic conditions, water quality, treatment requirements based on reverse osmosis technology, site suitability, impacts to existing infrastructure, required new infrastructure, concentrate disposal, and budgetary capital and operational costs. The screening phase led to development of a new brackish water wellfield design and permitting in the Buffalo Creek (Erie Road) area of the County. McKim & Creed performed pilot testing and prepared a Basis of Design Report for the County for a new reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment facility at the site. Additional work performed by the engineering team and hydrogeologists included long-range Water Supply Facilities Plan Update and Capacity Analysis Report to outline the County’s range demands for water, water treatment facility requirements and water supply development plans consistent with the comprehensive plans for the County. The team also handled the consolidation of the County’s various Water Use Permits (WUPs) for the Lake Manatee Reservoir, the ASR Well Field, the new Erie Road wellfield and the East County wellfield into one single Water Use Permit. Expansion of the County’s East County wellfield, which included new wells and approximately six miles of new raw water transmission main, was also handled by the team. This Master Plan update resulted in a series of additional tasks identified below:

East County Well Field ExpansionThe East County wellfield was expanded by 2 mgd average annual and 4 mgd peak month. The increase, which was located outside of the SWFWMD designated Most Impacted Area (MIA) was facilitated by a reduction in pumping inside the MIA by transfer of permitted quantity from an agricultural WUP to the East County Well Field WUP.

North County Brackish Ground Water Well Field (Erie Road)Test production wells and associated monitoring wells were constructed at the North Regional WWTF for the purpose of col-lecting hydrogeological data for design, permitting, and construction of a brackish groundwater well field for treatment with reverse osmosis. All testing was designed, managed and evaluated by WSP. Results were favorable and assisted in designing the new well field and obtaining a WUP for the County.

Water Use PermittingWUP was a key aspect of both projects, as both resulted in the potential for new impacts inside the MIA. As a result, the potential impacts inside the MIA were required to be offset by reduction in pumping, and transfer of existing permitted quan-tities from agricultural parcels being converted to residential use. Groundwater modeling using the SWFWMD District-Wide Regulatory Model with the Southern District Model as the model code was used to evaluate the interaction between po-tentiometric surface recovery from the transferred agricultural permits and new drawdown from the proposed well fields. A methodology based on a comparison of recovery and new drawdown volumes within the MIA was developed to quantify the amount of offset and required “net benefit” resulting from the transfer of quantities. As a result, the SWFWMD issued a new consolidated WUP to the County. This WUP included authorized withdrawal quantities for the County's existing surface reservoir, ASR wells, East County wellfield and the new North County (Erie Road) wellfield.

CRAVEN COUNTY WATER SUPPLY/TREATMENT FACILITIES MASTER PLANNING

2DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED / McKim & Creed performed preliminary actions necessary to develop a water system master plan that addressed anticipated growth in the water system demand over a 20-year planning period. Includ-ed in the effort was an alternatives assessment of measures to comply with pending mandatory restrictions on withdrawal from the Black Creek Aquifer Meetings with the Division of Water Resources (DWR) were held to discuss the project and any specific requirements or concerns that they had. Population projections were developed by year over the 20-year planning horizon, the County’s likely future service area was determined, and household water demands were projected.

Craven County’s primary water supply system consisted of five groundwater wells that withdraw water from the Black Creek Aquifer. In order to meet the CCPCUA 2008 initial 25% reduction in Cretaceous Aquifer withdrawal, wells were being devel-oped to withdraw from the Peedee Aquifer. In 2013, per the requirements of the CCPCUA, Craven County was required to implement a second 25% reduction in Black Creek groundwater withdrawal.

Not having alternative water supplies to replace the second mandated 25% reduction from the Black Creek Aquifer, the Coun-ty was interested in investigating supplemental water supply sources. Craven County Staff believed that the Castle-Hayne Aquifer represented the most economically feasible solution for replacing lost capacity from the Black Creek Aquifer. While the Neuse River and/or Trent River sources may have proven to be environmentally or economically infeasible, the County needed to include additional options provided by a comprehensive water source engineering alternative analysis. McKim & Creed helped Craven County evaluate its raw water deficit and develop options for comprehensive new potable water infrastructure to enable the County to meet CCPCUA rules regarding withdrawals from cretaceous aquifers. After reviewing several options, Craven County decided to pursue a new raw water supply from the Castle Hayne Aquifer and to utilize mem-brane treatment. These options were required for both the environmental assessment and/or an NPDES permit in order to justify any new direct discharge of water treatment plant concentrate from either a membrane or ion exchange water treatment facility.

McKim & Creed developed two hydraulic models for this project – one for the new raw water wells and transmission sys-tem and the second model for the finished water transmission. The raw water model was utilized to develop the raw water transmission pipe sizing, to optimize the operation of the eight proposed raw water production wells, and to plan for the well field expansion of five additional production wells.

The fi nished water model was created to develop the sizing and the interconnection of the new water treatment facility to the existing fi nished water distribution system. This component was critical as the new water treatment facility replaced several production wells that were taken off line and reversed the fl ow of fi nished water through the existing distribution system. All of the existing booster stations and elevated tanks were modeled to evaluate modifi cations to the existing con-trol sequencing and operation of the fi nished water distribution system. The two models were utilized for the sizing and design of approximately 29,000 LF of 10-inch to 24-inch raw and fi nished water mains. An additional 18,000 LF of 16-inch concentrate force main was also designed as part of this project.

McKim & Creed analyzed the Adams Creek Road area of the County’s water distribution system using the water system model to calculate the water’s age for current water demands and operational parameters, and provide recommendations for minimizing water age in the distribution system and improve water quality as part of the master plan.

As part of the new Craven County water supply and treatment facilities, McKim & Creed also provided I&C and SCADA system planning and design services. The raw water supply planning included Remote Telemetry Units (RTUs) at each well location.

Additional services provided by McKim & Creed included application programming at the treatment facility.

Section D Hernando County Work

Following is a list of the projects that WSP has completed or are ongoing for Hernando County in the past five years. Due to the similarity of some of the projects, the project descriptions are categorized by project type with a list of individual sites at which the services were provided.

Water Use Permitting – WSP prepared the application to renew and consolidate all six of the County’s Water Use Permits into a single permit with a duration of 20 years. The application included calculation of the projected water demand and the distribution of quantities between the five water service areas. A groundwater model was prepared for the entire County using the District-Wide Regulatory Model (DWRM2.1) to assess the potential impacts to lakes, wetlands, and spring flows. The Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) was streamlined due to the consolidation of the East and West Hernando Well Fields into a single permit. Consolidation of the six previous permits into a single permit has also streamlined the annual water supply report preparation process, reduced the number of permit renewals, and simplifies the process for potential interconnection of the service area systems in the future.

Date of services: 2014 – 2015 Budget $74,000 completed on schedule and budget Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Dave Wiley

Well Siting, Design, and Construction Services – Four new supply wells were constructed during the past five years. WSP provided assistance with siting up to four new wells on a site proposed to be purchased in the Ridge Manor area. The new well field was proposed to replace one existing and two proposed wells in the East Hernando service area. Well head protection area (WHPA) modeling was performed to delineate well protection areas for the proposed wells. A groundwater impact analysis model was also prepared to determine whether the new well sites met the conditions for issuance of a modified Water Use Permit. Technical assistance was provided at a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The zoning request was denied based on public opposition and the plans for a new well field were suspended.

Date of services: 2013 Budget $16,400 completed on schedule and budget Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Dave Wiley

As a result of the suspended plan for a new Ridge Manor well field, plans moved ahead to construct a new well at the Lockhart Road site. WSP submitted a WHPA delineation model for the new well. Technical specifications for the well construction were prepared and assistance with the bidding process was provided. On-site observation of the well construction and testing activities was performed, and a final well construction and testing report was prepared.

Date of services: 2013 - 2014 Budget $29,300 completed on schedule and budget Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Richard Cofer

Services for construction of Well No. 5 at the Seville water facility included preparation of a WHPA delineation model, technical specifications for well construction, on-site observation of well construction and testing activities, and preparation of a well construction and testing report. Testing was also performed on the existing wells at the site to assess their potential maximum capacity.

Date of services: 2014 - 2015 Budget $29,300 completed on schedule and budget Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Richard Cofer


WSP is currently providing services for two new wells at the Southwest Well Field, that will be constructed to replace three wells in the Duke Energy powerline corridor that can no longer be serviced due to the location of new power lines. Services included assessment of potential well sites, preparation of a WHPA delineation model, and technical assistance at Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of County Commissioners meetings for the required rezoning. Upcoming activities include submission of a Letter Modification of the Water Use Permit for the new well locations, preparation of well construction specifications, assistance with bidding, on-site observation of well construction and testing, and preparation of the well construction and testing report.

Date of services: 2016 – ongoing Budget $66,000 Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Richard Cofer

Wellhead Protection Area Delineation - In addition to the projects listed above that included delineation of wellhead protection areas (WHPA), WSPalso performed WHPA delineations for the revised locations of two wells at the Hexam Road facility and one well at the Southwest Well Field. The WHPAs were delineated using the analytic ground-water flow and particle tracking model WinFlow. The WHPAs are based on a two-year and 10-year travel time. After the WHPAs were mapped, an aerial photograph survey was performed to identify land uses in the WHPA, and a drive-through of the area was performed to identify land uses identified in the ordinance as prohibitive uses. The WHPA report was submitted to the County Planning and Zoning Department.

Date of services: 2012 Budget $6,000 completed on schedule and budget Key Staff – Jeff Trommer, Dave Wiley

Section F - Quality/Cost ControlsQUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

McKim & Creed is committed to quality. As a part of our overall e-Tops (electronic Threshold Operating Procedures and Standards) we have an established Quality Assurance procedure (QP 72) that applies to all McKim and Creed projects. We also have a corporate offi cer to administer our quality assurance process.

Additionally, we have assigned an experienced QA/QC Reviewer, Tim Baldwin, PE, to oversee projects assigned under this contract. Mr. Baldwin is well qualifi ed to perform QA/QC reviews and he has enacted this role on many of our previous engineering projects.

Each project has established milestone QA checks that are outside the normal plan and calculation checking, with the overall goal to provide quality work that is consistent across the company, and to ensure each project meets the needs of the client.

Part of this designated process includes milestone reviews by others in the company not associated with the particular project but familiar with the project type. This allows the Project Manager to network with other senior engineers in the company and to spot potential issues the project team may have not seen or been aware of in the daily process of completing projects.

In an eff ort to deliver a quality water master plan to the County, McKim & Creed will submit a Technical Memorandum at each distinguished project phase to include the Data Gap Analysis, Existing Model Calibration, Existing and Future Demand

Projection, Water Supply Analysis, and CIP Development. These technical memorandums will be developed by their respective Planning Task Leader and reviewed by both the QAQC Manager and the Project Manager prior to being distributed to the County for consideration.

CORRECTIVE MEASURESMcKim & Creed will work side-by-side with the County

on every project issue. If the County determines that a work product is undesirable or unacceptable for any reason, the following steps would be taken to remedy these conditions in a timely manner:

After notification by the County that a work product is undesirable or unacceptable, the assigned McKim & Creed project manager will meet directly with the County representative to discuss the issue. Once the issue is clearly understood, the project manager will present the County representative with a schedule for corrective action. This schedule will be provided to the County within 24 hours of the meeting.

Based on the agreed upon schedule for corrective action, the project manager will correct any issues mutually agreed upon and deliver the adjusted work product to the County in accordance with that amended schedule.

A final meeting will be held with the County when the adjusted work product is delivered. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss adjustments made as agreed to in the initial meeting. Once approved by the County the work product will be determined to be final.

As the assigned project manager for this contract, Mr. Chiavaroli will be personally vested to ensure that this process is followed and that the results are satisfactory to the County. Mr. Chiavaroli will oversee this process in its entirety.

Tim Baldwin, PE, will be QA/QC reviewer for this contract - his breadth of experience in leading water master planning projects will help to ensure the County's expectations are met through quality deliverables.

We ensure delivery on-schedule through these steps: Obtain scope and schedule consensus with County staff Hold weekly team meetings to discuss project status Update PlanTrax® biweekly for schedule conformance Reiterate outstanding issues on monthly invoices Develop critical path schedule Conduct meetings with regulatory agencies Identify permit requirements


SCHEDULEMcKim & Creed has an outstanding record of success

on projects with tight schedules being performed on time and within budget. Our team has thrived on projects with compact schedules and has produced quality projects within budget which have contributed to saving our clients a signifi cant amount of time and money.

COST CONTROLProject costs are quality-controlled and monitored

during the planning process using PlanTrax®. Once the task, schedule and budget information are entered, each month it is updated by the PM with input from the project team to assess the level of completion for the project. The program compares the monthly updates to the original project schedule and budget to show if the project is ahead or behind schedule and over or under budget. This report can be used to provide Hernando

County with earned value information with the monthly status updates and project invoices, refl ecting percent earned, percent complete, and days ahead or behind schedule.

We believe one of the best indicators of a quality project is when the fi nal project cost is under the engineer's estimate.

Selected members of our project team will analyze historical bid data and current market trends to complete any cost opinions. This information helps to create a more accurate and realistic Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) to be incorporated into the County's CIP. The Table below illustrates the proven accuracy of the estimated costs for CIP project development based on recent OPCCs developed by McKim & Creed.

We understand that Water Master Planning schedule should be expedited to maximize the opportunity for SWFWMD credits and funding support. It is also acknowledged that this project schedule will parallel the future and ongoing eff orts to develop and update the wastewater and reclaimed water master plans.
