Proposed Scope of Services

Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

Introduction This section describes the approach the Burns & McDonnell team will take to tackle the Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan (RIWRP) for the City of Franklin. While this description is our best understanding of the City’s goals, we expect the final scope of the project will be better defined after firm selection and further discussions with City staff.

Existing Situation The City of Franklin has requested qualifications to prepare the RIWRP after recognizing the interrelated nature of its utility systems and the natural environment. Franklin is surrounded by and shares natural resources with two adjacent municipalities (Brentwood and Nollensville/Collingsgrove) and four water districts (Harpeth Valley Utility District, Mallory Valley District, Milcrofton District, and H.B. and T.S. District.) A regional perspective to the RIWRP is needed.

Franklin’s drinking water is supplied from the Harpeth River and treated at the City’s 2.7 MGD Water Treatment Plant. The City supplements water supply with water purchased from Harpeth Valley Utility District, which is on the Cumberland River. Recently, the City has considered expanding the water plant to 4 MGD, but could also consider purchasing the entire supply to avoid water extractions from the Harpeth River. The City also operates a 12 million gallon per day water reclamation plant for the sewer system, and has considered constructing a second facility on Goose Creek. TDEC’s is currently requiring this second plant to be a zero discharge facility. Reclaimed water is distributed to certain customers such as golf courses, and is considered whenever new developments over a certain size are planned. Stormwater discharges are permitted under NPDES MS4 Phase II program. The Harpeth River is a valuable natural resource that Franklin’s citizens desire to be protected, as evidenced by the City’s Harper River Watershed Initiative.

Regional Integrated Water Resources Planning Concepts AWWARF has described an Integrated Water Resources Plan as a comprehensive management plan that identifies and gives balanced consideration to supply and demand management planning alternatives. It may include engineering, economic, societal and environmental evaluations, balancing needs of competing users and multiple objectives for using the resource. Encompassing least-cost analyses of short and long-term planning options and satisfying utility and regulatory policy goals, the RIWRP provides for coordination of planning between water and wastewater utilities in a specific region.

Governments Burns & McDonnell has long been a leader in the & Interest study, evaluation, analysis, design and implementation of potable water; sanitary sewer, reclaimed water and stormwater treatment; and conveyance facilities. Our water and sewer system Integrated Water Disciplines Purposes & utility planning project experience includes the Resources Services planning and evaluation of supply and treatment, Management pipeline and associated systems, as well as the financial aspects of implementation programs. We have expertise in the all phases of water, sewer, Stakeholders reclaimed water and storm system master planning.

Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

Building Consensus The comprehensive RIWRP will have a broad ranging, long-term effect on the City, adjacent cities and districts and their customers. There inevitably will be a variety of perspectives on anticipated outcomes for the RIWRP among stakeholders. These various perspectives are a natural outcome of each individual's particular background, knowledge and experience. Our team does not view different perspectives as a potential source of conflict, but rather an opportunity to capture and utilize the collective knowledge of the City to assure the plan considers all necessary aspects.

In order to develop a common understanding and consensus on project outcomes, we propose the Burns & McDonnell team and stakeholder representatives begin the project by conducting a modified Charrette process to establish goals, collect and analyze facts, determine needs and define the project.

Franklin conducted a “Sustainability” workshop in September 2008 that elicited a variety of perspectives and concerns from its citizens and stakeholders. The “Top 10” sustainability practices included potable water conservation and pollutant source reduction. A clear desire was noted to increase protection of natural and historic resources and to protect cultural assets. Among the ideas from the community that would impact the RIWRP if confirmed as goals during this project were the following: • Abandoning the Harpeth River plant and stopping water withdrawals. • Regional drinking water supply. • Water conservation and water saving initiatives. • Mandating grey water / reclaimed water systems. • Promoting zero discharge wastewater treatment plants. • Improving the Harpeth River through improved water quality, addressing river erosion, providing greenways.

After the project has been sufficiently defined, pertinent available information will be collected, reviewed and compared to the information required for completion of the RIWRP. The effort required for collection of the necessary additional information and the method of doing so will then be determined. A detailed work plan for the project as a whole can then be developed with the City’s concurrence.

Achieving Sustainability Your Burns & McDonnell team has embraced the foundation of sustainability since the concept’s introduction in 2007. The triple bottom line captures an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organizational (and societal) success; in terms of economic, environmental and social costs & benefits. The triple bottom line standard for urban and community accounting has become the dominant approach to public sector full cost accounting. This concept assists us in evaluating the full costs and benefits of a project in terms of social, natural and economic capital required to build operate maintain and finance a particular project. The balanced score card approach to triple bottom line cost accounting requires a collaborative effort in which the design team provides the City with the environmental and economic cost accounting for a project then Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

jointly determines the long term social costs and benefits of a particular endeavor. Projects using a balanced score card find the appropriate balance between environmental benefit, long term community benefit and cost, including opportunity cost.

Project Management/Project Control Burns & McDonnell will provide administrative services, including supervision of the project team, review of project costs and billings, preparation of invoices, preparation of monthly status reports and general correspondence. Project management will also include: • Preparing a Project Control Plan (PCP). The PCP will contain the final scope of services, project schedule, budget, communications protocols, team organizational structure, the Owner and consultant lines of authority, team members' directory and a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) plan. • Providing a quality control review to each deliverable for the project in accordance with the PCP. Quality control reviews will be provided by senior technical staff. • Providing technical supervision, direction and guidance to the project team throughout the project. • Maintaining open lines of communication to the Owner including monthly progress reports; project meetings; discussion of Technical Memoranda; and telephone and email communications.

Data Gathering/Collation and Review Members of the project team will work with the City’s project manager and staff to develop the data review and collection program. It is essential that this program identifies and obtains all sources of existing data prior to collecting further data. This data includes the previous master planning reports, interim planning and design documents, and other reports and studies done by and for the City and private developers, as well as collection of the water, wastewater, and reclaimed system operational and physical facility data. This is a key issue in the early stages of the project, since the details of the project scope depend on the data sources and needs for additional information.

Once all data is compiled and reviewed, ‘gaps’ in the data needed to complete the scope will be determined and provided to the City for review. Any data that is required and not available will need to be addressed. This may include field surveys or investigations by consultant or City personnel. The Burns & McDonnell team can also provide field surveys or research if desired.

Population, Customer, and Land Use Projections Foundational to planning is the use of detailed historical data and projections of population, employment, land use, and development staging for the service area and any extensions to the UGB. These data may be from City planners, prior studies, or be developed as part of this project. Our team will review population and growth information already available and coordinate with the City’s Planning Department. Electronic maps and databases will be reviewed for areas under current and planned build-out development. The distribution of existing and planned population, customers, and land use to sub-areas will be reviewed using the compiled information. Utility planning will require current and planned build-out development data along with intermediate scenarios.

The current hydraulic modeling software packages include modules to develop water demands and sanitary flow inputs from GIS-based population and land use data. Depending on the status of Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

any current system models, our approach is to utilize the appropriate module for effective model creation and easier future updates by the City staff.

Updating the planning data in GIS format will help identify when growth triggers expansion and improvement needs. Burns & McDonnell’s Centralized Data Management TM approach will benefit both the development of the RIWRP and Franklin’s ongoing data needs.

Demand, Flow and Load Projections The planning process forecasts the critical demands and flows which must be conveyed for the future population, businesses and institutions. Projected water demands, wastewater flows and wastewater characteristics are needed to drive evaluation of supply and treatment needs, as well as distribution / collection system needs. The Burns & McDonnell team will review historical records and studies of water demands, metered sales, wastewater flows and loads, along with design documents and plant operating records. Depending on the final scope, additional field testing programs may be performed to collect this data. Summarize past flows including average, peak month, peak day and peak hour flow rates. Summarize wastewater characteristics including average and peak month BOD, TSS, Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorus (TP), pH, and Temperature. Review available data for current industrial users’ wastewater flows and characteristics. Compare actual flows and characteristics with TDEC’s design criteria. The results of this work are projected water demands and wastewater flows for a series of selected design years. This data is mapped using GIS technology and assigned to sub-areas compatible to development of hydraulic models.

Reclaimed system demands require assessment of existing customers, and research to identify potential future customers and their potential use of reclaimed water. Information from City planners, metered sales records, and GIS mapping information supplemented with specific customer contacts will be used to assess the potential expansion of the current reclaimed water system.

Harpeth River Assessments Water Quality Impact Assessment of Proposed Discharge on the Harpeth River - Increased Flow from Franklin WWTPs May Improve Conditions The USEPA developed a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Harpeth River to address organic enrichment and low dissolved oxygen levels in the lower Harpeth River (river miles 88.1 to 34.2). This TMDL was issued by USEPA in September 2004. The TMDL calls for low levels of biochemical oxygen demand in wastewater discharges from the City of Franklin (400 lbs/day or 4 mg/L CBOD5). The TDEC is requesting that any new WWTP in the City be a zero-discharge facility.

The TMDL states that sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is the primary cause of low dissolved oxygen levels. Reaeration rate, or the exchange of oxygen with the atmosphere, is also a critical factor in the dissolved oxygen balance. Little information is provided in the TMDL or the associated Region 4 modeling report (The Harpeth River Watershed Modeling Effort: A Tool for TMDL Development. USEPA Region 4. July 31, 2002) on the representation of the SOD or reaeration rates in the model. The impact of SOD and reaeration on dissolved oxygen in the river is largely dependent on the amount of flow in the river. The TMDL indicates that the models predict significantly improved dissolved oxygen conditions when the Franklin WWTP discharges at permitted flows (pg. 53-54). With increased flows, SOD typically has less of a negative impact on dissolved oxygen in a river, and reaeration typically increases with flow near critical conditions, further improving dissolved oxygen levels. Based on this brief assessment of the existing TMDL and modeling effort, we have identified an Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

opportunity to further review the modeling and potential apply it with the proposed WWTP discharging to the Harpeth River. Model results may support a new discharge to the river at protective yet reasonably achievable effluent limits.

The ability to apply the models would allow the City to assess water quality impacts that may occur if discharge from the existing WWTP is reduced as a result of the proposed facility potentially being zero discharge, or potential trade-offs between the two facilities in terms of flow rates and effluent concentrations.

Therefore, at the City’s option, the Burns & McDonnell team proposes a critical review of the TMDL and associated modeling effort to assess the potential water quality benefit of discharging to the Harpeth River. This review would include reviewing the TMDL and modeling reports in detail, acquiring the modeling files from EPA Region 4 and reviewing those, and discussions with Region 4 and TDEC about modeling assumptions and applications to support the TMDL. A summary of the findings and a recommendation for any further assessments, such as running the models with the proposed discharge to the Harpeth River, would be presented to and discussed with the City.

Harpeth River Water Quality Impact Modeling: The Burns & McDonnell team understands the importance of developing a holistic understanding of the cause- and-effect relationships pertaining to water quality and quantity within the Harpeth River watershed. Management decisions for water supply, wastewater treatment, and stormwater are inter-related and need to be informed through a comprehensive yet efficient analysis. Team member LimnoTech has been developing modeling approaches tailored to specific needs for over 30 years. We bring a proven approach for developing the appropriate watershed and stream modeling tools and applying them specifically for the purpose of informing management decisions. We will begin by working with the City to carefully define the types of management decisions on the table. Planning the project with the end in mind assures the development of the most appropriate modeling tools. Therefore, it must include a clear and complete statement of policy, management, and/or scientific objectives, model spatial and temporal domain and resolution characteristics, as well as program constraints (e.g., legal, institutional, data, time and economics).

A Problem Specification Workshop will be held very early in the project to reach a consensus on the three major aspects of problem specification: management objectives; system characteristics; and program constraints. • Management objectives are statements of what questions a model has to answer. The statement of modeling objectives should include: the parameters of concern (such as flow, dissolved oxygen, bacteria, or nutrients); the stressors (model inputs) driving those parameters and their control options; the goals including appropriate time and space scales at which to assess meeting those targets; and, very importantly, the desired accuracy of the model. • Specifying the model domain characteristics includes: identification of the environmental domain being modeled (e.g. the spatial extent of the watershed and streams); specification of physical, chemical, and biological processes within that domain that are relevant to the management objectives; specification of important time and space scales; and any peculiar conditions of the domain that will affect model selection. • Problem specification should also include a discussion of the potential programmatic constraints. These address: time and budget; available data or resources to acquire more data; available models; and legal and institutional considerations.

Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

Team member LimnoTech brings expertise with many different watershed and stream models. LimnoTech will look to make maximum benefit of existing models for the study area, while seeking to apply the simplest modeling approach that will meet the management objectives. Typically, models are public domain and supported by regulatory agencies. This approach allows for a transparent modeling process. Models may be enhanced with custom tools to meet project-specific needs. Custom management-decision tools that present the model results in readily understandable ways can allow interested parties access and helps inform management decisions.

Wastewater Treatment Evaluation The RIWRP will include a comprehensive process performance and capacity evaluation of the City’s existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and a potential second WWTP. Estimate current flow and loading capacities of each existing liquid and solids handling unit process. The evaluation shall be based on comparison of existing facility design with applicable design standards and criteria, and actual performance history. • Review information in prior studies. • Estimate the existing WWTP hydraulic capacity of existing liquid treatment process and piping systems. • Review with City any existing facility deficiencies that require solutions. If desired, the scope may include inspections or evaluation of structural, mechanical and electrical conditions and recommendations for any needed rehabilitation. • Through consultation with TDEC, estimate future effluent standards for the existing or expanded WWTP, and for a second WWTP at a separate location, based on projected flows and loads. The discussions will include the river evaluation and quality modeling tasks. • Identify wastewater treatment capacity needs to provide continued service to the City, including the timing of capacity increases. • In consultation with TDEC, estimate future requirements for treatment and disposal of wastewater solids. • In consultation with TDEC estimate air emission requirements. • Identify wastewater treatment facility needs including additional treatment capacity and facility upgrades to satisfy projected flows and loads while complying with future effluent standards and other regulatory requirements. Consider alternatives to optimize use of existing capacity by redirecting the portion of flows delivered to each plant. • Describe area available for expansion at the existing WWTP and/or evaluate siting a second WWTP. • Conduct workshop meeting with City to determine potential expansion alternatives to be developed. • Determine required liquids and solids treatment technologies considering current permit requirements, current facilities, future regulatory impacts, available expansion area, and projected flows. Evaluate operational issues related to additional facilities. • Prepare facility descriptions, preliminary layout concept exhibits, and probable cost opinions for expansion alternatives at each plant. Select recommended alternatives.

Water Supply and Treatment Evaluation The RIWRP will address alternatives for expanding the existing WTP or abandoning the plant and going to a fully purchased water supply. Existing WTP evaluations will address capacity of each unit process and expandability. The evaluation shall be based on comparison of existing facility design with applicable design standards and criteria and actual performance history. • Review information in prior studies. • Estimate the existing WTP nominal treatment and peak hydraulic capacity of existing process step and piping system. Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

• Review with City any existing facility deficiencies that require solutions. If desired, the scope may include inspections or evaluation of structural, mechanical, and electrical conditions and recommendations for any needed rehabilitation.. • Through consultation with TDEC, consider regulatory requirements for the existing or expanded WTP. The discussions will include the river evaluation and quality modeling tasks. • Identify finished water supply needs to provide continued service, including the timing of capacity increases. • In consultation with TDEC, estimate future requirements for treatment and disposal of treatment solids. • Identify treatment facility needs including additional treatment capacity and facility upgrades to satisfy projected demands and regulatory requirements. Consider combinations of supply alternatives • Conduct meetings with Harpeth Valley Water District regarding potential increased purchase water. • Conduct workshop meeting with City to determine potential expansion alternatives to be developed. • Prepare facility descriptions, preliminary layout concept exhibits, and probable cost opinions for expansion alternatives. Select recommended alternatives.

Potable Water Distribution, Reclaimed Water Distribution, and Wastewater Collection Systems Evaluation The Burns & McDonnell team members are experienced in the major GIS/database systems in use today as well as the main water and wastewater modeling software packages. Recent project experiences have utilitized a variety of models including WaterCAD, InfoWater, XP-SWMM, SewerCAD, Hydroworks, H20MAP Water and Sewer and InfoWater and Sewer. If Franklin has not already settled on its modeling platform, we will provide a software review and selection workshop similar to our recent workshop in Rapid City, South Dakota.

One of the cornerstones of our project approach is to develop a “living” strategic plan that will grow and change with the community. GIS tools allow this flexibility by providing a comprehensive relational database with simple user interface tools. Data within the database is then analyzed from a viewpoint of geographic area or any other type of boundary condition that the user may specify. The GIS database can cover all aspects of the RIWRP project – from population and land use, to the waterway systems, utility systems, improvement plans, and management systems for the City. Our planning project teams include GIS professionals experienced in comprehensive analysis and mapping capabilities of GIS. We use GIS as an analytical tool for evaluating the impact of future development, for predicting sewer flows, and for building models synchronized with City GIS maps and databases. Our standard practice is to submit as much information in a GIS format as possible. Burns & McDonnell is saving their clients development costs and providing more effective plans by effectively utilizing GIS.

If needed, the hydraulic modeling portion of this project will determine the cost-effective plans to safely distribute potable water and reclaimed water, and transport wastewater flows, under a variety of flow, growth, and design conditions and under each of the alternative plans developed. Calibrated hydraulic models are the principal diagnostic tool to evaluate these conditions and will be used to forecast the need to increase the City’s treatment Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

and pumping capabilities. The hydraulic models are then installed on City computer system along with the level of training the City prefers for continuing updates and future uses. Development and Analysis of Alternatives The City’s evaluative criteria for selection, development and analysis of alternative plans for each system for future wastewater treatment may include, but not be limited to sustainability, cost effectiveness, longevity, serviceability and permitting requirements. Burns & McDonnell plans to address each criterion by providing the following as part of the RIWRP: • Sustainability: alternatives will be evaluated for flexibility in relation to future relevancy and ability for modification to meet the City’s dynamic needs and growing population. • Cost Effectiveness: 20-year present value analysis of capital, operation and maintenance costs will be provided for each alternative. • Longevity: phased capital improvements programs for each defined alternative. • Serviceability: each alternative will be assessed for its ability to serve planned development, potential future growth areas, and areas intended for annexation. • Permitting Requirements: acquiring and maintaining proper permits in an environment of increasingly stringent regulatory requirements will be considered. • Integration: Assessing the inter-relationships and cumulative ability to satisfy community goals and cost-effectiveness for plans integrating the best alternatives for each utility system.

Burns & McDonnell will collaborate with the City and potential partners to develop a matrix of alternatives. Each alternative will be assessed in relation to the City’s stated evaluative criteria. Further, as the RIWRP continues to develop, additional criteria will arise and be incorporated into the matrix.

Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan This task presents the culmination of all previous tasks. Using the results of all preceeding tasks and evaluations, Burns & McDonnell will prepare a comprehensive draft RIWRP report that identifies Capital Improvements to the City’s water, wastewater, reclaimed water and stormwater systems. The RIWRP will address the optimal service area, water supply and treatment, wastewater treatment and disposal, reclaimed water system and stormwater permitting plan for the study area, in keeping with the goals and objectives outlined for the RIWRP. The RIWRP will provide the answers to Franklin’s big questions, such as: • Should the City continue to provide drinking water treatment? • How should the City provide for wastewater treatment and disposal? • How should the reclamation system be improved to meet the needs of all stakeholders?

Specific capital projects will be coordinated with funding plans and identified along with operational and management needs. Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

The Capital Improvement Programs are typically prepared for 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year intervals. The Burns & McDonnell Team has extensive experience in developing CIP plans that follow and meet the latest regulatory requirements. Evaluate Cost Impacts and Develop Financial Plan Decision-making for the RIWRP will require information on alternative costs and cost impacts. Burns & McDonnell can provide a variety of financial planning services, ranging from an assessment of CIP cost impacts on existing rates, to rate design, to funding programs. A minimum effort would include preparing a financial forecast of net revenues to determine the adequacy of revenues provided by existing rates. This forecast should include projections of annual revenues under existing rates and the annual revenue requirement, including all operating expenses, capital requirements, debt service requirements and margins by year for a future period. The financial plan should identify the overall change in revenue required to provide for adequate funding for major capital improvement programs, to meet all recurring annual operating and capital expenditures, to cover all debt service requirements and to maintain sufficient cash balances and capital reserves.

Prior to finalization of the financial plan, the preliminary forecast results are provided for assessment of estimated impacts on cash flow. Based on this internal analysis, appropriate revisions to the forecast assumptions will be discussed and incorporated into the final financial plan. The spreadsheet-based rate model will assess the cost impact of each growth scenario developed in prior tasks. This work will include the following outline scope of services: • Gather data . • Develop financial forecast within existing guidelines such as those of “Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems,” published by APWA, ASCE and WPCF, and Manual M-1 “Principals of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges,” published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA). • Develop revenue forecast. • Project operating & capital costs. • Prepare cash flow analysis and determine whether an overall revenue adjustment is necessary. • Evaluate percentage impact on water and sewer rates. • Document and communicate results.

Quality Control Program In order to maintain a high standard of work quality, the Team will follow Burns & McDonnell’s formal quality assurance process. This inter-disciplinary design review has been used on all Burns & McDonnell projects since 1981. The procedures incorporated into a published quality review manual were developed from guidelines published by the Professional Engineers in Private Practice section of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Reports, specifications or drawings cannot be reproduced until the proper reviews have been conducted and the quality of the report, drawing or specification meets acceptable standards. Quality control tasks are separately identified and monitored within the accounting system. For an engineering study and report project, three distinct quality control review subtasks are identified and implemented. Before a report document is allowed to be reproduced for the client, the Project Manager must resolve all of the comments among the reviewers and obtain the signature of the Quality Review Manager on a required form.

A critical component of our quality control program is that the same quality assurance review requirements apply to subcontracted work products. As with the work done by Burns & McDonnell personnel, reports, specifications Proposed Scope of Services Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

or drawings done by subcontracted consultants cannot be reproduced until the quality assurance procedures are followed.

All of the QA/QC processes have allowed Burns & McDonnell to provide top quality end products to our clients, whether reports or detailed design documents.

Public Relations Burns & McDonnell is aware that the City must continue to build trust and maintain credibility with the public during development of this RIWRP. We will support, work with and assist the City’s public relations staff throughout this project. Burns & McDonnell’s own Joab Ortiz, and our team member Varallo Public Relations, Inc. of Nashville bring to this project their combined expertise in public communication programs for utility projects, such as Varallo’s recent support of Nashville’s CSO program. This team will help facilitate the meetings with City and Stakeholders to develop goals and objectives and pursue consensus. We have the resources and skills to help communicate the status and progress of the project to city management and public officials.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Data Integration with Franklin’s IT Systems GIS, and associated information management services, are provided by our GIS Services group of specialists in all current major GIS packages. Practical experience with a wide variety of technologies allows Burns & McDonnell to make use of the tools that best fit the city’s needs. Application of GIS to planning and design of water and wastewater systems is our standard operating procedure. Using GIS is the efficient way to manage and use the data required to produce design and construction documents.

Conclusion Burns & McDonnell Engineering is a firm with high standards dedicated to quality results that serve the City of Franklin by performing above expectations. As with any service organization, client satisfaction is the fundamental goal and measure of success. Success for our clients will bring opportunities to serve in the future. It is also a necessary ingredient for a positive corporate identity, for individual professional satisfaction, and for the financial success of a company and its employees. As an employee-owned company, this elementary, yet often overlooked, philosophy is understood and emphasized in all that we do. We reflect this in our firm’s Mission Statement, Make Our Clients Successful. As your team, we hope to bring that understanding of simple business sense to you as one of our clients.

Project Schedule

Schedule Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

A preliminary schedule for developing the Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan is shown here in a timeline format. The timeline suggests a one to two month initial phase to determine goals and objectives for the project and refine the scope of services, and a 12 to 16 month schedule to execute the scope. The actual schedule will depend on the City of Franklin’s needs, the actual scope of services, and data collection needs for the final scope. Assuming a project start in mid-summer 2009, the preliminary schedule indicates completing the goals and scoping phase in August or -September 2009, and the final RIWRP between August 2010 and February 2010. We realize that completing the RIWRP in a timely manner is of vital importance to the City and other stakeholders. Control of the project schedule is equally important to the Burns & McDonnell team. Our project management approach emphasize schedule and cost control as critical to the success of any project. During project scoping we will prepare a detailed Gantt chart schedule with defined milestones and deliverables. Regular progress meetings will be held with the City staff, with progress reports and schedule updates, to communicate status and obtain input on project activities and progress. As always our project team is open to changes based on needs of the City which necessitate portions of the project either be accelerated or delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, and we can adjust our efforts to accommodate either circumstance.

Meeting the schedule, budget and operational expectations of the Staff depends on the establishment of regular and coordinated communication. The team will communicate with the City through Mr. Mark Hilty, Water Management Department Director as the lead City contact (or his designated project manager).

Prior Relevant Experience

Prior Relevant Experience Regional Integrated Water Resources Plan City of Franklin, Tennessee

From our founding over a century ago, Burns & McDonnell has been committed to improving and protecting the water resources of municipalities and private-sector industries across the country. Over the decades, there has been a greater understanding of the variety of interrelationships between conservation and protection of water supplies, enhanced treatment of wastewater, proper management of watersheds and improved handling of runoff from developed sites and transportation facilities. Burns & McDonnell has assisted our clients in all areas of water resource management. This section focuses on a number of those efforts in the areas of drinking water supply, wastewater and stormwater management.

The projects below summarize our team’s relevant experience with water resource study and design assignments incorporating the critical elements that would be involved in a comprehensive evaluation of the City of Franklin’s water resources. The projects include a number of innovative and sustainable features such as:

• Water conservation and reuse • Natural treatment processes • Advanced treatment • Public involvement and education • Source water protection • Coordination/compliance with state and • Alternate source development federal regulatory agencies • Water quality evaluation • BMP and drainage criteria development

Sustainable Water Supply

Integrated Local Water Supply Plan: In 1992, Burns & McDonnell was engaged to provide an Integrated Local Water Supply Plan for the city of Wichita, Kansas, utilizing a combination of small local water source enhancements, including conservation, adjustments to the existing raw water operations, and a comprehensive public education campaign. The largest component of this plan was the Equus Beds Aquifer Storage/Recharge initiative. Pictured at left is the phase one pilot of this recharge initiative designed to increase storage and curb chloride intrusion into the existing aquifer supply. This project is currently moving into a $90-million second phase of implementation to provide up to 80-MGD of recovery and recharge during above-base flows in the Little Arkansas River.

Alternative Water Supply/Sparta Aquifer Protection: Burns & McDonnell provided conceptual planning, design and construction management services for an alternative water supply to relieve pressure on the region’s existing groundwater supply, which had experienced significant drawdown over the last decade. The plan US Department of the Interior 2008 Cooperative Conservation Award involved the creation of a new surface water supply from the Ouachita Recipient River to serve a number of major industrial water consumers with a suitable, non-potable source of process water, reducing demand on the potable system. Features of this plan included: Prior Relevant Experience (continued)

• Hydrogeological modeling of the Sparta Aquifer • Water source/supply planning • Grant preparation assistance • 65-MGD surface water intake • 32-MGD water treatment facility • 9-MGD booster pump station • 3-MG storage reservoir • 36”-48” transmission main • Major agency coordination

Confidential Client – Water Treatment & Beneficial Reuse: Burns & McDonnell provided conceptual planning and design services for a facility on the coast of North Carolina that was in need of an on-site treatment system to manage their high-strength wastewater. In addition, the client desired to pursue an option which would allow for water reuse within the facility while also providing a means of disposing of the effluent in an environmentally sensitive permitting environment. Burns & McDonnell responded by designing a cutting- edge membrane treatment system preceded by extensive pretreatment, as well as a water reuse system for the facility and an engineered wetland effluent disposal system that mitigated impacts on this highly sensitive coastal area.

Project Features include: • Pretreatment for high-strength industrial waste • Membrane bioreactor treatment system • Water reuse for irrigation, fire protection, toilet and urinal flushing • Wet/dry natural disposal system for excess treated water • Extensive permitting negotiations with State Agencies

KDHE Source Water Protection Plan – State of Kansas: On behalf of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Burns & McDonnell served as the project administrator for the Kansas Source Water Assessment Program. Implementation of the EPA approved program resulted in completion of source water assessments (SWA) for 807 public water suppliers (PWS) as required to meet the Safe Drinking Water Act. The project was completed more than six months ahead of schedule.

Burns & McDonnell was responsible for development and maintenance of an information and education program, development

Prior Relevant Experience (continued)

of a catalog of water quality protection measures, recruitment and training of PWS and technical assistance providers, development of an Internet-based Source Water Assessment Tool (ASWAT), completion of assessments, and project management.

ASWAT is an innovative Internet-based tool that functions as an automated system to collect data on potential contaminant sources and to determine the potential vulnerability of drinking water supplies. Data was assimilated from six different state agencies to serve as the foundation of each SWA and plan for watershed management. Data included the location of the source and diversion, location and standard industrial code (SIC) for all potential pollutants (both regulated and unregulated), land use, watershed boundaries, transportation, and other key layers. ASWAT, through eight simple steps, allows PWS to register, select training location, review the assessment area map with known sources of contamination, add missing pollution sources, correct data and produce reports. The SWA report includes an executive summary, map, a list of potential contamination sources, a list of associated chemicals, and the resulting susceptibility score.

Wastewater Management

Constructed Wetlands Effluent Polishing Treatment: In the early 1990s, as a means to avoid construction of a large pipeline to discharge treated effluent from their regional wastewater treatment facilty, the city of Columbia, Missouri, moved forward with the creation of a constructed wetlands treatment system to provide polishing treatment to effluent that ultimately discharged into the Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area. Burns & McDonnell was part of a team that provided design and construction services for the initial three wetlands cells and have since led the design and construction of a fourth treatment unit to increase capacity and provide operational flexibility to the system.

Ulysses, KS WW Treatment Wetlands: NOTE: Individual Experience of Mr. Dennis Haag prior to joining Burns & McDonnell Mr. Haag was the lead designer of a new and innovative constructed wetland system that provides final treatment of municipal wastewater from city lagoons that will be used to restore a 18-acre city recreation lake. The system treats 0.72-MGD flow and for the first time

Prior Relevant Experience (continued)

combines the following components: six parallel constructed wetland cells; two parallel half-mile stream channels; waterfall feature; equalization wetland; 18-acre recreation lake; and golf course irrigation intake structure. In addition, Mr. Haag designed and installed a diffused air aeration system in the existing 3-cell lagoon system to provide enhanced treatment for ammonia. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be fully operational in the summer of 2009. Burns & McDonnell is assisting the City of Ulysses with completion of construction including finished grading of stream pools and riffles, wetland and stream riparian plantings, erosion control, and operation and maintenance of the new system. Mr. Haag was instrumental in helping the City obtain construction grants from Playa Lakes Joint Venture and Kansas Alliance for Wetlands and Streams for the portions of the project that are designed to enhance wildlife habitat.

Evaluation of Alternative Treatment Systems: Burns & McDonnell provided evaluation of alternative treatment and discharge options for a 40,000-gpd wastewater treatment plant for Arnold Village, Tennessee. Arnold Village is a housing and recreational area located approximately four miles for Arnold Air Force Base and next to Woods Reservoir. The evaluation included descriptions of alternative methods for treatment and effluent disposal along with a life cycle cost analysis of alternatives.

Alternative methods of wastewater disposal evaluated included: 1. Subsurface drip disposal into lateral fields 2. Spray disposal onto land.

Soils characterization for percolation was performed as part of the drip disposal and spray disposal evaluation. The recommended method was continued discharge into Woods Reservoir and using UV disinfection to replace the current chlorination/dechlorination system.

Currently, the treatment system uses activated sludge treatment, sand filtration and chlorination/dechlorination to treat the wastewater prior to discharge. However, alternative methods of treatment were evaluated, with a recommendation of a Recirculating Sand Filter. The study also included an influent lift station, a small 200-sq. ft. laboratory building, a SCADA system and emergency generators. The influent lift station was included to allow the new wastewater treatment plant to be installed in a different location than the existing wastewater treatment plant.

Burns & McDonnell served as the program manager for Kansas City’s Overflow Control Program (OCP). The OCP is a multi-faceted and long-term undertaking to develop a system-wide program to address overflows within the sanitary and combined sewer systems. The OCP mission is to “protect the public health and the environment, and meet regulations at an appropriate cost”. The OCP is developing a Long Term Control Plan for the CSS and a Control Plan for the SSS to identify the required facilities and improvements along with estimated costs, funding strategies, and implementation schedules.

Kansas City, Missouri’s sewer system includes both combined and sanitary sewers. The combined system covers approximately 55 square miles of urban area with an estimated population of 225,146. The system includes approximately 220 CSO discharge locations in three major watersheds, and two of the City’s seven wastewater treatment plants manage both combined sewered area and sanitary sewered area flows. The separate sanitary sewer portion of its system covers approximately 105 square miles of urban and developing area with an estimated population of 220,000, plus contracted service communities.

Burns & McDonnell’s OCP services have included managing Basin Engineers efforts in preparing control plans in seven CSS basins and four major SSS project areas, and managing technical service contracts for sampling and laboratory services, flow monitoring, and radar rainfall analysis. Services have included a wide range of activities such as: • Technical coordination of contracted services, • Administrative coordination of contracted services, • Evaluation and selection of hydraulic modeling software; • Assistance with NPDES permit applications; • Contracting for special projects such as field testing for inflow source identification. • Preparation of a series of manuals and protocols, such as a data management system protocol, field protocol, and administrative manual. • Modeling of the Blue River Interceptor Sewer, which receives flows from Basin Engineer modeled areas. • Regulatory agency coordination and meetings.

This effort included extensive participation by the public, a wet weather advisory committee, and the MDNR, so that the conceptual framework for the Long Term Control Plan can best meet the public’s, City’s, and State’s objectives. The development of this

report has prepared the City to proactively negotiate with MDNR regarding key issues allowed for in the national CSO policy, including: • Appropriate revisions to the use criteria and water quality criteria of the receiving streams, • Use of a watershed specific CSO planning approach to consider a variety of issues such as all sources of pollution, presumptive vs. demonstrative LTCP approaches, wet weather design criteria, and financial capabilities, and • Consistency of state policy and regulations with national policy.

Watershed and Stormwater Management

Campus Sustainability Initiative: With the design and construction of a new, award winning stormwater management system at its World Headquarters campus, Burns & McDonnell has proven its role as a leader for corporate environmental stewardship. The system is comprised of various Best Management Practices that allow for greater infiltration, a reduction in runoff, and improved water quality. The new system is estimated to reduce annual runoff volumes by 18% and achieve pollutant removal rates over 80%. The design, construction, and monitoring of the system will help Burns & McDonnell gain a long term appreciation for the operation and maintenance of these green solutions.

Project Features • Green roof pilot • Bioretention cells • Bioswale to treat parking lot runoff • Rain garden • StormTreat™ unit for enhanced treatment of runoff

Approximately 6% of the campus’s 19.7 acres was converted to bioretention. By strategically placing these BMPs, approximately seven million of the 19-million gallons of rainfall that fall on the property annually will be treated prior to discharge from the campus. It is estimated that offsite flows may be reduced by as much as 30% due to the collection and storage of runoff.

A brochure outlining key elements of our Campus Sustainability Initiatives is included in the Appendix.

Fisher & Arnold Experience

New South Water Treatment Plant: After 50 years of service from the existing plant which had been expanded and upgraded, and with the continued growth of the City of Millingford, TN’s existing water treatment plant was pushed to its limits. When the City determined it was in need of a new water treatment plant, it turned to Fisher & Arnold to evaluate locations and to design the new plant.

A new 2.16-MGD water treatment plant was constructed, with provisions to easily double the capacity in the future when needed . This project included two production wells, treatment plant, administration building, one million gallon underground storage basin, high service pumps, and 16" water main to connect to the existing system. The treatment system starts with induced draft aerators, the n chemical conditioning, followed by flocculators and settling basins. From there the water travels through gravity filters to remove iron and then on to the underground storage tank. The entire treatment system is monitored through a new SCADA system. This plant is a major upgrade to the City's water system, and with the ease of future expansion ensures the City's ability to serve and to continue providing excellent service.

New Wastewater Treatment Plant: Because of tremendous growth, The Town of Arlington, TN’s current lagoon system was fast approaching capacity and the State would require more stringent discharge limits on a larger discharge. Fisher & Arnold was engaged by Arlington to evaluate its sewer treatment facilities and recommend a solution.

The treatment process chosen was a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). The treatment plant was constructed to treat 2.5-MGD with the ability to easily be expanded to 5-MGD when the Town's flow dictates. A new forty-foot deep wet-pit/dry-pit influent pump station takes all of the sewage to the head works where the new bar screen and grit removal system begin the treatment process. Then the sewage flows to the SBR's where the biological treatment and settling will occur. After this the top layer of the basin is decanted to the ultraviolet disinfection system and then to the river.

This construction project included not only the treatment plant but also three miles of interceptor sewer and one mile of outfall to the

Prior Relevant Experience (continued)

Water Quality Modeling and Regulatory Support for the Third-Party TMDL Revision for the Truckee River: Water quality in the Truckee River (Nevada) is challenged by low stream flows and competing water demands. LimnoTech is supporting the efforts of several regional agencies in a third-party TMDL revision to improve a 1994 nutrient TMDL. Driving factors include: 1) anticipation that the Truckee River Operations Agreement will lead to consistently higher river flows; 2) challenges in balancing regional growth with environmental health and economic impacts associated with water quality management; 3) availability of recent data and improved modeling tools to better characterize the system under contemporary conditions; and 4) recognition that the 1994 TMDL was not flexible enough to consider the benefits that stream and watershed restoration activities may have on assimilative capacity.

LimnoTech developed a publicly available water quality model, Truckee River HSPF (TRHSPF), to predict occurrences of low dissolved oxygen resulting from nutrients, benthic algae, and low flow. TRHSPF was calibrated and verified to wet and dry years, and results were comparable to or better than past modeling of the Truckee River. LimnoTech linked TRHSPF with two other advanced modeling tools to 1) calculate river assimilative capacity and response to nutrient loading under a range of flow conditions; and 2) evaluate potential TMDL allocation alternatives while considering potential improvements from stream restoration.

Watershed-Scale Water Quality Analyses: LimnoTech has successfully applied watershed-scale approaches to pollution control in urbanized communities such as Detroit and Washington, DC, and in rural watersheds covering thousands of square miles, such as Saginaw Bay in Michigan, the Willamette River in Oregon, and Lake Lanier in Georgia. These efforts have included: • Watershed-wide assessments of control strategies, such as treatment facilities, detention ponds, wetlands, tillage practices, drainage tiling, berms, zoning, borders, street- sweeping, cover crops, and fertilization controls • Nonpoint source impact analyses for both large and small drainage basins on Saginaw Bay, MI; Maumee River, OH; Willamette River, OR; Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers, GA; the Florida Everglades; and the Gulf of Mexico • Development and implementation of innovative watershed stakeholder workshops to enhance cooperative solutions
