Dear Mr. Christensen:
CHS Engineers is pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications and Proposal to the
City of Renton for the Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station Consolidation and Field Avenue
Interceptor project. We are thoroughly committed to providing the City with excellence in
predesign, planning, design and construction management. CHS will- ur most
experienced and qualified staff for the City's project.
The managing members of our firm are senior professionals whose careers have focused on
municipal engineering. The majority of our clients are cities and special districts. We are
familiar with municipal design standards and we understand the need to address your
operational requirements and constraints.
Our attached statement of qualifications will demonstrate that CHS's engineers, technicians,
inspectors, surveyors and our subconsultant specialists have exceptional knowledge of lift
station projects. In particular, we have completed predesign reports and designs and have
prepared plans, specifications, bid documents and cost estimates for many similar sewer
pump station projects. These predesign reports typically include evaluation of alternatives
and preparation of preliminary cost estimates. Collectively, we have undertaken pre -design
assessment of at st 65 sewer pump or lift stations. A summary tabulation of these stations
is attac e m Section C fo owing. A majority of these projects w ere,.re-habilitation or
replacement of e_,dsting stations.
CHS also has in-depth experience in the planning, analysis, design, bidding and construction
engineering of sewer main infrastructure including interceptors and gravity sewers. Recently,
CHS has completed lift station and/or gravity sewer design projects for the cities of
Arlington, Bellevue, Edmonds, Lake Stevens and Ivrkland and several special purpose
districts, including Ronald Wastewater District, Olympic View Water and Sewer District,
Birch Bay Water and Sewer District and Southwest Suburban Sewer District. In every
project, we have worked directly with the client's engineering and operations staff to
-collaboratively develop a scope of recommended improvements that best satisfies the
community's needs and meets the operator's preferences.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management Methodology.
CHS utilizes proven and effective management methods in executing all projects which
includes the fundamental elements of planning, staging resources, directing tasks, monitoring
progress and concluding the work. Of particular importance is the planning phase during
which the details of the project scope and schedule are developed. A well -planned project can
be accomplished efficiently, on schedule and without unnecessary or additional cost. Of key
importance is a well -developed scope of work, prepared to meet the project objectives and
structured with some flexibility to adapt to aspects of the project that may require variable level
of effort. As a modest sized firm, CHS is able to easily react and respond to unexpected issues
or other direction from the City.
Cost Tracking Methodology:
The CHS Project Manager is responsible for monitoring the project progress and costs while
the Principal -in -Charge will also track the project status. An important relationship between
schedule and cost control is that "time is money" for both CHS and the City. CHS recognizes
the importance of meeting project deadlines thus minimizing project costs caused by scope -
creep and cost escalation.
Managing Subconsultants:
CHS is adept at working with other professionals and firms as subconsultants, both large and
small. The CHS Project Manager will be responsible for managing the subconsultants and will
assure that the key personnel named for the team will be utilized for the actual project
assignments. Subconsultants are an extension of the CHS engineering staff and generally have
the same level of interaction and participation as CHS employees.

Pump Station #3 Rehabilitation
Birch Bay Water & Sewer District
The rehabilitation of the 2300 gpm Pump Station
#3 involved the complete replacement of the
electrical system including adding variable frequency
drive (VFD) for 110 hp submersible pumps. The
VFD was incorporated to minimize surges to the
wastewater treatment plant and to reduce energy
costs. Telemetry, motor controls and a standby
generator were raised from a below -grade vault to a
new above -grade masonry building. A detailed
bypass specification was also prepared to bypass
flows during construction. Mitigation for
placement of a new above -ground facility in a
residential shoreline area included private street
improvements, stream buffer enhancements, and
noise attenuation features.

Lift Station #8 Improvements
City of Lake Stevens
Following identification of future capacity needs in the northeastern part of the City, including the partially
developed industrial area, force main and lift station improvements were completed for this facility. Lift Station
#8 was initially constructed with over -sized wet well and dry well to accommodate future expansion, and
discharged 200 gpm through a four -inch force main to the sewer basin tributary to the City's overloaded Lift
Station #1. This project included completion of a 10-inch diameter force main, which terminated in a
temporary 8-inch extension to an interim point of discharge (a future downstream interceptor is planned for the
ultimate upgrade of this station). Pump assemblies and electrical equipment, including replacement of the
standby generator set, were upgraded to accommodate 600 gpm. The pumps and force main sizing and
electrical system upgrades were designed to provide for a future upgrade to ultimate capacity of 1,200 gpm. A
magnetic flow meter was installed on the force main at the station for data collection for future system
planning. The interim upgrade allowed completion of other collection system modifications to transfer
portions of the area served by Lift Station #1 to Lift Station #8, further reducing the load on Lift Station #1.
CHS provided pre -design, design and construction support services, and prepared a successful application for
Washington State Public Works Trust Fund low -interest loan for this project.

PROJECT BRIEF
Sewer Lift Stations No. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 Rehabilitation
Ronald Wastewater District, Shoreline, Washington
This project resulted in the rehabilitation of five wastewater lift stations that were each approximately 30 years
old. The project began with evaluation of each station and development of a predesign report. The findings and
estimates in the predesign study supported preparation of a successful application for a low -interest Public
Works Trust Fund loan. CHS completed the predesign report and loan application, then prepared contract and
construction documents and provided construction management services for the District.
Lift stations ranged in size from approximately 100 gpm to 725 gpm. Stations 1, 2 and 5 were wet well/dry well
type and Stations 3 and 7 were compressor type. All stations were analyzed to ensure proper capacity was
available for the drainage basin they served. The pumps, compressors, valves, electrical systems and telemetry
were replaced on all stations. Ventilation and safety platforms were updated to meet current standards. To
preserve the steel dry well structure at Lift Stations 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 an active cathodic protection system was
designed and installed at each station. The project was successful in lowering required maintenance and
increasing the life of the stations by at least another 30 years.

' Project Principal — Sewer Pump Station No. 12 Pump Replacement and Odor
Abatement
City of Bellevue
' Bellevue, Washington
Provided predesign, design and construction management services to replace two existing
sewage pumps that were inefficient and unreliable due to hydraulic problems and outdated
electrical equipment. The construction involved replacing two existing 125 HP single -stage
pumps with four new high -efficiency 50 HP variable speed pumps in two -stage
arrangements. Rated for 750 gpm at 120 psi, the new pumps provide significantly lower
' operating power cost. Because this pump station is very close to homes, a carbon canister
odor scrubber with ducts, fan and appurtenances was installed to control odors. In
addition, special pump control valves were installed to solve a chronic check valve clogging
problem.
Project Principal - Biofilter For Odor Abatement At Bagley Sewer Pump Station
' City of Bellevue
Bellevue, Washington
Based on a detailed evaluation of numerous alternatives for odor control, a mineral media,
in -ground biofilter was selected for this facility. Because of the close proximity to nearby
Lake Washington residences (approximately 40 feet away) and the propensity (history) of the
pump station to emit sewage odors, a reliable odor control technology had to be
' implemented. Furthermore, placing new equipment and structures underground to mitigate
visual impacts and noise preserved the aesthetic character of the site (residential waterfront
at Newcastle Beach Park). A 3-HP variable speed fan in an underground vault draws
odorous air from the pump station wet well and conveys it to the biofilter bed where it is
dispersed through perforated pipes and purified by microorganisms in the sand media. The
biofilter system is equipped with instrumentation and devices to monitor and control sand
moisture and to measure air flow and backpressure. The biofilter operates automatically
without the need for frequent maintenance, inspections or chemical deliveries.

pumps. Outdated electrical systems, lighting, water supply and plumbing systems were all
' replaced. Seismic bracing and joint restraint was added to mechanical piping and equipment.
Because of the large variation in flow at the station, two discharge force mains were also
installed. The new 16" and 10" force mains can handle a wide range of flows from any
' combination of the four pumps operating. The station also has an existing 10" inverted
siphon passing through it which was reconnected to the new discharge force mains

Project Manager - Pump Station No. 3 Rehabilitation
Birch Bay Water and Sewer District
Birch Bay, Washington
Rodney was the project manager for this successful rehabilitation of the primary station in
' the District's system. The project team completed predesign and design services and
supportted construction management. Pump Station #3 is the main station in the system,
effectively acting as the WWTP influent pump station. This submersible pump station was
upgraded from 2.5 mgd capacity to 3.3 mgd capacity. A subsequent force main replacement
project may allow future increase to 4.4 mgd capacity. The electrical equipment including
standby power generator was replaced to include variable frequency drives for power savings
and reduced peak loading at the WW'fP, and all electrical equipment was relocated from an
underground vault to an at -grade equipment building. The station is located on a narrow

project included zoning and shoreline conditional use approval and shoreline setback
variance. Wastewater flow bypassing of up to 3 mgd capacity was necessary for portions of
this work and CHS has prepared a detailed specification for the equipment and redundancy
requirements for this risky operation.
Project Manager - Lift Stations 2 and 7 Replacement
Skagit County Sewer District #2
Big Lake, Washington
Completed predesign and design services and supported construction for the replacement of
these two stations. The existing stations were vacuum -prime solids handling wet well
mounted type stations, constructed in 1980 on the shoreline of Big Lake. Operation and
maintenance of the vacuum -prime systems is labor-intensive and costly. Rodney compared
the benefits and feasibility of converting each station (300 to 400 gpm capacity) to
submersible pumps or wet well mounted self -priming solids handling pumps. Primary
considerations in this evaluation were the visual and noise impacts to adjacent lakefront
properties and ease of maintenance for the District operator. The District selected the self -
priming units. Rehabilitation consisted of a complete factory -built package of mechanical
and electrical equipment, all contained within an enclosure.

investigation will be completed so that engineering analyses can be performed and recommendations made for
design and construction of the temporary excavation for the lift station and for the new sewer lines. Challenges
include a high ground water table, highly compressible, very soft organic soils, and the proximity of the project to
' the BNSF railroad tracks.

1 Dear Mr. Christensen:
Thank you for the opportunity to propose on your project for consolidating the Summerwind and
1 Stonegate Lift Stations.
We have reviewed the material forwarded with the RFP as well as additional information
1 obtained from the City of Renton in order to craft a proposal that truly meets the needs of the
project.
1
PACE certainly has the technical capability to provide an efficient, effective, and constructible
design for the lift station. We have recently completed several similar stations and will bring that
fresh experience to bear. We will apply our many years of successful project work to completing
'
a custom design that is both timely and economical.
We think that the real opportunity for increasing value on this project in comparison to a typical
design is in reaching early agreement with the City and other stakeholders on the scope and
' design criteria that will be used. The most important task that the design team can undertake is to
define the technical standards applicable to this project in detail early in the project, codify them
in a written document that is accepted by all of the stakeholders, and avoid changes mandated by
1 review comments made in the middle of the design process. The greater the level of early detail
the greater the level of certainty regarding actual construction costs.
1 We are confident that we can offer you a truly best -value solution based on our technical and
management experience and we look forward to working with you. Please contact me if you have
questions or require additional detail.

PROJECT
APPROACH

PROJECT APPROACH
1
PACE has examined the available project conception documentation and development of the City of
Renton's Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station Consolidation project. Based on this analysis we have
organized a project approach that responds to each of the key elements identified in the RFQ and expands
on them as necessary to incorporate our own recent experiences on what seems to work and what does
not in wastewater lift station design.
A - PROJECT APPROACH
Task 1— Alternative Analysis
Rationale: Population growth in the service area for the pump stations has exceeded expectations.
Increasing the lift station capacity is clearly required. This increase could entail significant construction
before embarking on a major construction project, a reevaluation of alternatives for meeting wastewater
conveyance and disposal needs is mandatory. A part of this analysis will be development of a defined set
of general lift station standards for the City. Particular areas of interest include maximizing use of existing
facilities where feasible to contain project construction costs and ensuring that existing service is
maintained as transparently as possible through a detailed bypass and switchover plan for the new
facilities incorporates input from all stakeholders — the public, engineering staff, and maintenance
personnel.
Action Outline: Subtasks within this task include:
C_(_'1a. Data Gathering/Criteria Development: This subtask will include organizing and
validating/confirming (as necessary) the assumptions and stakeholder expectations
surrounding the construction of a new facility in this location. Regulatory and permitting
standards and applicable codes will be identified and listed to ensure that there are no key
requirements missed and no surprises as the project proceeds. Some of the key areas of
consideration are environmentally sensitive integration of the wastewater conveyance
function into the neighborhood including stormwater management, visual/aesthetic impacts
and their mitigation, and site security. In addition to the City of Renton's published
standards, this task will also become the forum for establishing any unwritten preferences
generated by the operations staff through recent similar project experience in the City.
b. Define Alternatives: This subtask will result in an array of alternatives that meet the
necessary wastewater conveyance function and will flesh out the parameters and issues
surrounding each.
C. Preliminary Engineering: Each alternative will need to be developed to a level that will
capture all cost and environmental impacts for equitable comparison. Economic and non-
economic factors will be quantified so that fair comparison of alternatives is possible. For
those issues that have significant public impact, public participation will be solicted.
d. Cost Estimating: Recent volatility in construction costs has had a major impact on
infrastructure markets. PACE maintains a portfolio of estimating results as well as routine
communication with contractors to keep our estimates reflective of current trends and
responsive to material and equipment cost changes.
e. Design report: This subtask will result in a written document comparing the alternatives
available to the City and will present in matrix form the key differentiators between
alternatives. The Design Report will contain our recommendation for project design and will
clearly identify any remaining unknowns or areas requiring further investigation. Gareth
Grube will draw on PACE's extensive experience in the wastewater pumping arena to

ensure that the City of Renton receives the benefit of similar experience in each of the key
areas.
Task Lead: Gareth Grube, P.E.
Task 2 - Project Design
Rationale: After review by the stakeholders and a decision about which alternative is preferred, the
PACE team will produce a technically responsive and cost-effective wastewater pumping and
conveyance design.
Action Outline: Subtasks within this task include:
a. Criteria Confirmation: PACE will confirm the applicability and acceptability of the design
criteria developed during the preliminary engineering subask and make any necessary
modifications for wide distribution to the design team and City stakeholders.
b. Topographic Survey: PACE will develop the mapping and property ownership information to
prepare a detailed base map. (Subtask Lead: David Fulton)
C. Public Involvement: Under the current baseline alternative, construction and operation of the
pumping and conveyance facilities will have an impact on an existing developed residential
area. Resident and public input to alternative selection, construction approach, and
construction timing will be obtained and incorporated into the design.
d. Geotechnical Exploration: Landau Associates will conduct the necessary field exploration and
laboratory testing to characterize the soils along the pipeline routes and at the selected lift
station sites. The PACE team will ensure that design selections recognize the nature of the
soils that will be encountered during construction.
Design: PACE will organize and direct the design process to iteratively develop a technically
superior design product that offers a balance between innovation and tried-and-true
J techniques, and delivers maximum operational flexibility, optimal mai nce efficiency, and
truly cost -sensitive solutions to the City of Renton. We will develop the design in egr ing
existinc reaulatory guidelines, City mandated preferences, and our professional experience
considering structura in - c evalue maintenance, ease of operation, potential for
future modification, pending regulatory changes, and myriad other issues and considerations
that contribute to a successful product. As a part of both the negotiation of scope and
preparation of the basis of design, we will clearly define the extent of deliverables that are
anticipated for each of the submittal stages (35, 65, and 95 percent.
1. Lift Station Design: (Subtask Lead: Dave Hutley) Dave will be responsible for
implementing the criteria determined in the alternative analysis phase and implementing
that criteria in design of the station.
2. Interceptor and Force Main Design: (Subtask Lead: John McAlpine) John will handle the
engineering and design of the conveyance piping including the Field Avenue Interceptor
enlargement, the new gravity line from the Summerwind Station to the upstream end of
the Stonegate influent sewer, and the new force main from Stonegate (or other site) Lift
Station to the Field Avenue Interceptor.
` Deliverable Quality Assurance: This task will define the positive actions taken to ensure that
we deliver a "no -problems", trouble -free design to the City of Renton. We will take
advantage of the more than 35 years of experience Marry Penhallegon offers in dealing with
reservoir design in general and the City of Renton in particular to create a functional design
that exceeds stakeholder expectations. (Subtask Lead: Marty Penhallegon)

PROJECT APPROACH
ask 3 - Bid Document Preparation
Rationale: The clearest possible documents and instructions to the contracting community are
essential to prevent and mitigate confusion in the field and create adversarial relationships.
Action Outline: PACE will assemble the design documentation and organize it in a way that is clear,
comprehensive, and constructible.
Task Lead: John McAlpine, P.E.
Task 4 - Permit Assistance
Rationale: Close attention to the requirements and processes for permit acquisition from the internal
and external overseeing agencies will minimize project duration, eliminate repetitive submittals, and
prevent surprises.
Action Outline: Many of the required permits have been determined. During the development of the
Design Report document, PACE and the project team will identify any potential permits and their
detailed requirements with an eye toward making any mandatory decisions early in the process. Any
opportunities to incorporate permit mitigations into the ongoing design process will be considered and
acted on.
Task Lead: John McAlpine, P.E.
' Task 5 — Assistance During Bidding
Rationale: Presenting the finished design to the construction community, ensuring a common level of
understanding among the bidders, and receiving proposals must be organized and carefully recorded.
' Action Outline: This task will result in the identification of a responsive and responsible bidder
following existing contract and municipal procurement guidelines. PACE has systems in place to assist
the City or to support existing City of Renton processes for distribution of bid documents bidder
' responses, clarifications, bid receipt and other technical and administrative tasks.
Task Lead: John McAlpine, P.E.
Task 6 - Construction Period Services
Rationale: Project oversight at a number of levels is important to ensure that the selected contractor
understands the intent and letter of the construction documents.
Action Outline: Subtasks within this task include:
a. Construction Progress Assistance: PACE is comfortable with provision of on -site personnel if
required or other specified arrangements to have the appropriate staff on site at the
necessary times to ensure that oversight. We provide such services on a regular basis to a
number of utility agencies and have established both internal inspection and review
standards and detailed construction reporting models for the City's consideration. Review of
submittals, contractor RFIs and change order negotiation are well within our professional
capabilities and expertise. PACE has any necessary field survey capability in-house and ready
on relatively short notice to support the construction management effort.
b. Engineering Support: Dealing with the changes that inevitably occur during construction
require personnel experienced in evaluating the technical merits of the proposed change as
well as recognizing the ripple impacts of change on the design and construction contract.
PACE is skilled in meeting this challenge.
C. Startup and Initial Operations Assistance: PACE's work during this subtask includes directing
changeover efforts, overseeing staff training, and field testing to confirm satisfactory
__�peration. —

d. Record Drawings: This subtask includes modification of the construction drawings to reflect
the- -c. Lions encountered in the field and to incorporate changes that may have
occurred during construction.
e. Operation and Maintenance Manual: The assumptions, operating conditions, and special
characteristics that are inherent in the new lift station and force main system must be
recorded and made available for operator review or new operator training.
Task Lead: John McAlpine, P.E.
Task 7 — Project Coordination & Management
Rationale: Effective management will optimize the planning, design, and construction effort and
create a successful win -win project for the City, ratepayers, and locally affected citizens.
Action Outline: This task includes the big -picture look at the project and developing and
understanding the expectations and objectives of the City of Renton and directing a team of
professionals to deliver to meet those objectives. Communication (both internal and external to the
team), record keeping, contract administration, subconsultant management, schedule monitoring and
revision, and formulating necessary adaptive responses to change will be paramount activities under
this task.

' B1 - PROJECT APPROACH
' In completing more than 100 lift station projects in this region during our firm history, we have learned
some valuable lessons about the process of wastewater project delivery. We have established contacts
within the regulatory and permitting agencies. We have a history with most of the major contractors and
' suppliers. Our management approach will build on this bank of knowledge and association to the benefit of
the City of Renton. Management is based on some relatively simple principles of communication (learn to
listen as well as speak, make sure that information is widely disseminated) and accountability (own up to
and learn from your mistakes) as well as on modern tools, techniques, and software. PACE will bring both
the latest electronic management and reporting tools as well as this proven professional philosophy to our
work for the City of Renton.
We anticipate that the following organization chart will offer the maximum of efficiency and communication
with all members of the PACE team:

C2 - RELATED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
PACE has worked with the City of Renton for a number of years. Recent projects for which we have
provided services include engineering for the Elliot Avenue Bridge Sewer Design and survey for the Sunset
' Interceptor Sewer project. Projects that reflect our skills in lift station design include:
' Lift Station 36, City of Everett, Washington. The City of Everett operates a number wastewater lift
stations serving several fast-growing areas near its southern limits that are nearing their capacities.
Stepwise expansion of the system service area resulted in a sanitary sewer system that links pump stations
' in series with wastewater flowing through the stations via a roundabout route to the treatment plant
absorbing system capacity along the way. Lift Station No. 24, downstream of the project area receives
flow from LS No. 25 and LS No.36, and is currently nearing capacity. Alternatively capacity is currently
' available in the South End Interceptor, a 30-inch diameter conveyance pipeline northeast of the project
areas. This project created design documents for diverting flow from a portion of the Lift Station No. 36
tributary area and Lift Station No. 25 to the South End Interceptor, thereby relieving pressure on the
' downstream portions of the system.
' The project included a study phase in which flow measurement and basin analysis were conducted and a
series of pipeline routing and pumping alternatives were subjected to a life -cycle cost analysis. Following
review by the City, a preferred alternative was selected and the resulting design was prepared and bid.
The project is currently under construction and will be completed in 2006.

Point Edwards Lift Station, Triad Development, Edmonds, Washington. A developer constructed
' 300 high -value view condominiums on the Edmonds shoreline. In order to provide sewer service to the
site, he was required to upgrade and enlarge an existing lift station owned by the City of Woodway and
maintained by the Olympic View Water & Sewer District. Upon completion of construction, the station
would become the property of the City of Edmonds. All work, therefore, would need to be completed to
City of Edmonds standards. An existing casing under a heavily traveled state highway (SR 104) was re-
used.
This wet well/drywell station was constructed to replace an existing vacuum -primed package unit on a
' constrained site. The dry well fits into a single circular concrete structure below grade (including electrical
and instrumentation). The station capacity is 300 gallons per minute against a head of 45 feet. An

International Boulevard Pipe Bursting, SeaTac, Washington. This project for the Val Vue Sewer
' District was required because the City of Seatac proposed widening International Blvd. The road widening
incorporated a retaining wall in close proximity to Val Vue Sewer District's sewer main. The proposed wall
would have blocked access to a sewer manhole. In addition, the old concrete main was in the zone of
' influence of the wall, with a possibility of the pipe settling or crushing. To solve the problem, PACE
proposed installing a new sewer main by pipe bursting. The 8" HDPE line was pulled through the manhole
to be abandoned. Due to the smooth interior of the high density pipe material, the grade change was
' accomplished without a manhole. The work proceeded with no impacts to the traveling public and a
minimum of environmental disturbance.

' Carkeek Pump Station, Seattle, Washington
While this project is much larger than the project you anticipate, we include it because it represents a
"high -head" condition, a situation that must be addressed in the design of the Kersey 3 lift station. The
project addresses excessive flows discharged from King County's Carkeek CSO facility, which came on-line
' in 1995 to treat and discharge combined sewer overflows (CSO) to Puget Sound. The facility is meeting its
permit discharge limits except for the volume of CSO discharged. The study included review of the City of
Seattle's upstream system, King County's system upstream and downstream, the Carkeek Pump Station,
' and drainage issues in the watershed.
The study was completed in June 2000. Recommendations included upgrading the pump station facility to
' 9.2 MGD capacity, and transferring more flow to West Point for treatment. Issues included the impact of
further transfers on city and county CSO's at filth Avenue Northwest and the Ballard Siphon, and the
impact of moving up the North Beach CSO project. Since the completion of the Task 200 study an
' independent expert in rotation equipment has evaluated the existing pumps to determine if they can be
reused at a higher speed. PACE worked with King County staff to determine the suitability of the existing
' rotating equipment for reuse, and is currently preparing plans and specifications for both an equipment
purchase contract and an installation contract for new flywheels and pump parts.

assignments both as a principal engineer and a project
manager depending on the client and project requirements.
Dave provided sewer design and design review as District
Engineer for various municipal sewer districts including Coal
Creek Utility District, Cross Valley Water District, and Midway
Sewer District. This work has included the design of more than
a dozen lift stations and many miles of sanitary sewer
improvements. His experience in utility planning and design is
extensive as evidenced by the following sample list of some of
his accomplishments.
Coal Creek Utility District, Olympus Lift Station. Dave
coordinated the preparation of the design modifications to
relocate and upsize Coal Creek Utility District's Olympus Lift

models to simulate flow through this station.
Pump Station, Bryn Mawr-Lakeridge Water & Sewer
District. Project Manager for the design of a new pump
station intended to pump water from a new reservoir on the
site to the District's two existing elevated reservoirs. The
pump station consisted of a concrete building with metal roof,
a three -pump domestic system, a 1,500 gpm fire pump and a
diesel generator. The station was situated on a fairly steep site
creating interesting foundation and site work designs. All
mechanical elements of the pump station design were provided
by PACE.
Midway Sewer District, South 2601h Street Lift Station
Upgrade. This project involved the design and installation of
a new wet well and new electrical components at an existing
lift station site. The improvements included a new 37-foot
deep, 10-foot diameter wet well that had to be installed by
drilling within an encasement due to space constraints. The
soil conditions around the existing wet well provided an
interesting challenge on this project, including the necessity to
provide temporary pumping facilities to maintain service. The
sloughing of existing sand backfill forced the removal of all
DAVE HUTLEY, existing discharge piping. Alternate piping arrangements were
P.E. made to discharge the sewer.
Page Two Coal Creek Utility District, Lower May Creek/Windtree
Sewer Improvements. This project, currently nearing the
bidding phase, will provide sewer service to the southwest
portion of Coal Creek Utility District's service area. It includes
two submersible lift stations, 75 gpm and 500 gpm,
approximately 300 feet of 3" force main, 2,800 feet of 6" force
main and 4,000 feet of gravity sewer. Aspects of this project
include preparation of plans and specifications in accordance
with USDA Rural Development loan guidelines, a community
involvement and notification program and the acquisition of
various easements from residents and the City of Newcastle.
The two lift stations and gravity facilities were designed to
provide buildout capacity for the drainage basins they serve.
Coal Creek Utility District, ULID 7S. This was a $3.1
million project which was a very difficult local sewer
improvement project. It involved the installation of sewers
through 64 private easements, through a project stabilized
slide area and on steep slopes. The work included design,
public participation, easement acquisition, environmental
support and construction management, all accomplished by
PACE. This project was funded by ULID assessment against

City of Issaquah, Sycamore Basin Sewer. As Project
Manager, Dave worked on the design of approximately 11,000
feet of 8-inch PVC sewer main improvements in previously
unsewered neighborhoods. The sewer design project included
preparation of plans and specifications for sewers ranging from
8 to 17 feet deep, a dosing siphon and pipe boring across
Issaquah Creek and approximately 22 individual lift stations for
those properties lying too low to be served by gravity.
Clearview Local Facilities Pump Station, Cross Valley
Water District. PACE provided the design for this pump
station, which is intended to provide water to the District from
the Clearview Project, a joint project between Cross Valley
Water District, Alderwood Water and Wastewater District and
Silver Lake Water District. The station, a CMU building on an
existing District standpipe site, houses three pumps with
additional space for a fourth pump in the future. Also included
in the design were provisions for a standby generator and
alternate inlet piping to the existing standpipe to provide for
better water turnover. The pump station is currently capable
of providing 2,500 gpm to the District, with a future capacity of
4,500 gpm.

Subject: Proposal for Summerwind/Stonegate Lift Station Consolidation and Field Avenue Interceptor
Dear Dave:
' We are pleased to provide the attached proposal for engineering services for the City's planned sewer project in the
Summerwind and Stonegate neighborhoods.
' We've assembled a project team that fits this project well. Kevin Goss will be the project manager. He managed the
predesign portion of the Sunset Interceptor, Phase 3 which studied sewer routing for these basins and recommended
diverting portions of Summerwind and Stonegate flows to Field Avenue.
' He and I are working together on a lift station for the City of Mercer Island with many similarities to this one. It is a
submersible station in a high -end residential neighborhood next to a sensitive area (shoreline). It has a small,
detached building housing the electrical and control panels as well as a standby generator.
' We've rounded out the team with subconsultants based upon their past successful work for the City of Renton and
upon our own recent work with them. Many of them are currently working with us on the Mercer Island project,
which is scheduled to advertise in February. We will apply the working relationships and knowledge developed there
to your project.
Thank you for your time in discussing this project with us. We hope we have demonstrated that we are the best team
' to complete this project and that you will award it to us.
Sincerely,

A. PROJECT APPROACH
Tetra Tech has assembled a project team with a clear understanding of
the project background, the experience to ask the right questions
throughout design, and established working relationships amongst the
team members. Our proposed Project Manager, Kevin Goss, managed
the predesign portion of the Sunset Interceptor, Phase 3, which
recommended the flow diversions sought under the current request for
proposals. We expect to be able to engage City staff on key project
issues on day one and efficiently guide the project forward through
design and construction.
Alternatives Analysis
The preliminary engineering report for Phase 3 of the Sunset Interceptor took a comprehensive look at sewer service
routes in the basins tributary to the Sunset Interceptor. It recommended diverting flows away from Duvall Ave in
order to preserve the capacity of that sewer. A significant and growing portion of these flows come from the north
and east sides of the Plat of Summerwind, from the Plat of Stonegate, and from newer developments upstream of
Stonegate. The current project would collect all of these flows at a new lift station adjacent to the existing Stonegate
lift station and build a new force main to Field Avenue, allowing the abandonment of the existing Summerwind and
Stonegate lift stations. A new gravity sewer on Field Avenue would convey the flows to Sunset Boulevard. The
existing Sunset system would be upsized as far west as the new sewer built at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard
and Duvall Avenue.
This reconfigured system would carry flows from the currently developing areas inside the Urban Growth
Boundary, and in the future from other areas within the gravity basin served by the new Stonegate lift station. The
system would be sized for build -out of the logical service basin based upon City planning criteria.
Within this proposed basin, there are still alternatives to be considered for the most serviceable and cost-effective
system configuration. Consideration should be given to:
* Existing system configuration and capacity relative to anticipated growth patterns.
* Diversion of upstream service areas away from current routes if capacity is preserved and cost is saved.
* Proximity of new construction to existing utilities.
* Availability of space within existing roadways and easements for both existing and proposed pipelines.
* Reduction of typical water/sewer separation requirements based upon construction materials and methods.
* Impact to existing easement areas and number of times entry is required to accomplish the required work.
* Alternative alignments of the force main between the new Stonegate lift station and the high point on Field
Avenue that address the above complexities. Use of the existing City -owned emergency access tract
between the Plats of Summerwind and Stonegate is one alternative.
* Maintaining public and emergency vehicle access to all properties throughout construction. During
roadway construction in Stonegate, it may be possible to utilize the existing emergency access driveway to
Summerwind during the daytime for local access, and close it at night when the roadway is reopened.

* A dedicated bypass sewer on
Field Avenue in lieu of
reconstructing the existing
gravity system to handle higher
flows. A bypass would be
smaller and shallower and
would not require reconnection
of side sewers. It would be
much faster to build and have
much less impact on the
neighborhood.
* Sensitive areas and permitting
implications of alternative
alignments.
* Pump Station and supporting
equipment configuration, to the
extent that some elements (such
as an above -grade
control/generator building)
could be impacted by sensitive
areas, permitting requirements,
or by strong public opposition.
The alternatives analysis is a
collaborative effort with the City's staff.
The final report establishes a record of
the alternatives considered and choices
made by the team. City staff will help
define and confirm the alternatives to be
studied and will help narrow the choices
prior to preparation of a final
recommendation.

ICommunity Meetings
The proposed project will impact local residents and will require entry to private property in limited areas. A limited
public involvement campaign will allow the City to explain the upcoming work to interested residents. It may be
appropriate to send a mailing and hold a public open -house following the alternatives evaluation. Such activity
would notify residents of upcoming survey and geotechnical work, help explain the types of impacts to be expected,
and provide contact information. Mailings and/or web page updates will allow interested parties to follow the
progress of the project. We do not propose to use a public involvement subconsultant on this project. We feel we can
supplement the efforts of City staff to implement a public involvement campaign that will help reduce the impacts
this project will have on the neighborhoods.
Topographic Survey
A topographic survey is necessary to collect existing site data prior to design. In general, there is enough
information available from as-builts and existing mapping to conduct the alternatives analysis without a complete
topo survey. It may be appropriate to supplement this on a limited basis with information on sensitive areas. The
bulk of the topographic survey can likely be deferred until the alignment is settled, which will eliminate wasted
survey effort.

' Geotechnical Analysis
Geotechnical exploration and analyses are needed to prepare project plans and opinions of probable construction
' cost that are appropriate for actual site conditions. Unless the assessment of existing geotechnical data suggests that
soil conditions may vary significantly between alternative alignments, geotechnical field exploration can be deferred
until the alignment is settled, which will eliminate wasted effort.
To assess subsurface soil conditions, 4WA Geosciences nticipates drilling ten borings to depths of between 10 and
15 feet. One additional boring at the proposed i site would extend 5 to 10 feet below the bottom of the
proposed structure. Along Sunset Avenue NE, the boring information obtained previously by HWA for the Sunset
' Interceptor Phase III Improvement project will be used. Standpipe piezometers will be installed at five locations to
determine and monitor ground water levels along the alignment and at the new lift station location.
' There is the possibility that portions of the project work may occur within or near steep slopes that exceed height
exemptions from critical areas regulations. If so, the impacts of the proposed construction will be assessed and
specific design recommendations will be developed as appropriate for both the contract and project permitting.
The new gravity sewer downstream from the existing Summerwind lift station will be partially within the berm of
the existing detention facility. Reconstruction of the berm must maintain its structural and water -tight integrity in
order to safeguard not only the pond itself, but downstream homes and utilities. There may be permitting
implications to construction within this embankment.
' Where only force main and shallow gravity bypass pipeline are being constructed, it may be appropriate to eliminate
or significantly reduce the extent of geotechnical exploration. In areas where differential settlement would not effect
' system performance, the cost of the geotechnical exploration and analyses may be better spent on contingencies for
foundation gravel or restrained joint pipe.
Civil / Structural / Mechanical / Architectural Design
' Tetra Tech staff will prepare: plan, profile, elevation, and detail drawings; specifications; and opinions of probable
construction cost for pipelines, the lift station site, buried lift station facilities, and an above -grade
electricallgenerator building. Structural design will likely in nts to the extent they are
' appropriate for the project. hamcal design will ased upon existing City standar out for submersible
PUMP stations. Architectural a fnc y mto tfighborhood.
Electrical / Control / Telemetry Design
Electrical and controls design will include the development of plans, details, one -line diagrams, calculations and
schedules, and control panel configurations. To the extent practical and as the City desires, we would re -use
electrical installation details that have been used on previous City lift station projects to help reduce design cost and
to increase maintenance consistency ama facilities. The telemetry design will include final coordination
with the City's preferred telemetr sup lier (TS ther tasks include coordination with Puget Sound Energy for the
installation of -a- new a ectrical service adequate to serve the station.
' Easements
The project will impact the local residents during construction. The City already has an easement for the likely
' gravity sewer route. It appears that the possible force main alignment shown in the figure on page 2 is on a City -
owned tract. If additional easement width is needed or if other easements are required, Tetra Tech staff can
coordinate with City staff and Triad Associates to prepare easement documents.
Lan a Architecture
arker Landsca Architects will prepare plans and details for landscape elements needed to restore existing
f_JQeatures isturbed during construction and to blend the proposed lift station facilities into the neighborhood.
JAcoustical
Evaluating the noise exposure levels at the residential neighbors is an important part of reducing the impact of this
project, given that the proposed location of the new permanent generator will be in close proximity to residential
' City of Renton
TETRA TECH, INC.

property lines. The Greenbusch Group proposes to make 24 hour measurements to document the existing, pre -
construction ambient noise characteristics at the site as a baseline for evaluating the noise impact of the project for
the SEPA checklist. Greenbusch will predict noise exposure levels from the operation of the new generator and will
compare these levels with Code requirements and also with the existing noise levels at t ite. It is our
understanding that the City may wish to pursue meeting the nighttime permissible C.Qdp imits of 45dB
Recommendations for silencing of the generator noise will be developed. This typically invo ves ination with
design disciplines to specify building elements such as walls, ceilings, doors, louvers and exhaust silencers to
provide appropriate levels of sound mitigation.
Bid Documents
The respective design team members will incorporate interdisciplinary comments, discipline lead comments, quality
control and quality assurance review comments, and City comments at each design submittal stage and will prepare
bid -ready documents and an opinion of probable construction costs.
Permitting and Project Approval Assistance
We understand that the bulk of the construction work for this project will occur within improved rights -of -way or
exist' ee d that the level of environmental permitting will be minimal. However, we will work with
lfson Associ sctively manage this aspect of the project to reduce the project risk associated with
environmental permits. We will accomplish this through the following:
* Develop a Permit Plan with key milestones and submittal dates that parallel various design stages of the
project.
* Meet early in the process with the City's project manager and key design team members to identify key
technical issues and critical path items.
* A critical element to insure timely implementation of this project is to identify and locate wetlands that may
occur adjacent to the work area. Direct impacts to wetlands are not anticipated as part of this project, but
the early identification of wetlands and other regulated sensitive areas is important for determining specific
permit submittal requirements and timetables, particularly if regulated buffers occur within proposed
clearing limits.
* Once existing sensitive areas are identified and classified per the City's Critical Areas regulations, staff
biologist and planners will work with the design team to review anticipated design criteria to avoid as many
permit triggers as possible.
* Where permit triggers cannot be avoided in a cost effective manner, environmental staff will coordinate
with design staff to insure that the specific thresholds and standards required for use of these streamlined
approval processes is understood by all designers.
* Because no direct wetland or stream impacts are anticipated and the project is not anticipated to utilize any
federal funding, we anticipate that the City will be the primary lead for key environmental permits. Once
the initial design effort is complete, we will prepare clear, simple, technically complete and accurate SEPA
materials and permit materials, where applicable, per the City's standards and code requirements.
* Coordinate with City's permit staff following submittal to insure that they have a complete understanding
of the project so that they can complete their reviews.
Assistance During Bidding
The Tetra Tech team will coordinate with City staff during the bidding period to answer bidders' questions. If
appropriate, addenda will be prepared to clarify document issues and/or provide a consistent response to all plan

We have considered this project carefully and developed a schedule that represents a reasonable timeline for both
the alternatives analysis and design phases of the project. Further, it shows a timeline for construction of one
possible system configuration. We have also thought out the level of effort required to complete the various
portions of the field work, explorations, analyses, design, and construction support necessary to complete this
project. The Level of Effort spreadsheet follows the project schedule.

B. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Management Approach
The key phrase which expresses our project management philosophy is that we strive to "make decisions in the right
order." We structure the process of design so that timely decisions are made at the right time in the project. In this
way, deadlines are met and wasted effort is avoided.
Tetra Tech has a rigorous project management system, and we will use proven management tools to ensure your
project meets established schedule milestones and work is performed within the agreed -upon budgets and scope of
work. The tools include the following:
* A Project Management Plan will be prepared at the start of the project for use by the entire team. The Plan
will outline the scope of work; the responsibilities of the staff, the budget for each work element; the
staffing requirements for each task; a tasking matrix to track work elements; a decision log to chronicle key
decisions made on the project and whether they affect the scope of work, schedule or budget; and the
schedule milestones, both internal and external, for the project. The Plan will be web based so that it is
easily accessible by team members and can be updated regularly, as required by the Project Manager.
* An Internal Startup meeting will be conducted with team members to provide an understanding of the
project objectives and to confirm an understanding and buy -in of task assignments and budgets; deliverable
and due dates; and the overall project schedule. Contractual requirements, health and safety risks and
assumptions used to prepare the scope of work and budget will also be reviewed with the team.
* An External Startup meeting will be conducted with the City to confirm the scope of work, schedule and
project objectives. Resources and information needed from the City will be confirmed.
* Regular Progress Meetings will be held between the Tetra Tech team and City Project Manager. Monthly
Progress Reports will be submitted with each invoice.
' * Cost forecasting will be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the costs required to complete the
project are in sync with the project budget.
* The scope of work, budget and schedule will be monitored for changes from the project baseline
throughout the course of the project. Where a change has be identified, the City will be immediately
notified, the change will be documented and it's impact will be defined, and the Tetra Tech Project
Manager will work with the City to mitigate the change and negotiate an acceptable solution.
i�
* Quality Control is an integral part of the Tetra Tech approach. Senior staff from the appropriate technical
disciplines are assigned at the beginning of the project to work with the technical team throughout the
effort, as well as at designated review points.
Using these management tools, the entire Tetra Tech team will:
* Be continuously aware of the project status
* Be able to identify potential problem areas before they significantly affect the project budget or schedule
* Be able to shift resources as necessary to respond to issues as they arise
* Have the ability to adjust the project schedule to reflect changing priorities
* Be able to maintain tight control throughout the project
�( * Assure "unpleasant surprises" will not occur.

Quality Assurance Procedures
Quality Control is an integral part of the Tetra Tech approach. Each discipline has a senior staff member designated to
oversee the design staff and conduct a discipline -specific QC check prior to each submittal. Tetra Tech has asked that
each subconsultant use this same structure by designating a specific QC r-resentative fl their_scinlme Overall QA
checking will be complete �%bYAllen Be ew, who administers the company's Quality Assurance program.

Relevant Projects
LID 98-2 Sewer Extension
City of Fife, Washington
Tetra Tech completed design of five wastewater pump stations, approximately three
miles of force main and nearly 2.5 miles of gravity interceptor for the City of Fife.
Flow is pumped to the Tacoma Wastewater Treatment Facility. The initial task was
to determine the most economical and feasible alternative to sewer almost two-
thirds of Fife. Alternatives considered a variety of force main alignments with pump
station scenarios. Design and construction was completed in four contract phases:
#1 — force mains; #2 — pump stations; #3 — the CMC Heartland and South Oxbow
gravity sewers; and #4 — 70th Avenue E gravity sewer. For ease of maintenance, all
pump stations are submersible, installed in either a 10-foot diameter manhole or
large cast -in -place structure, depending on pumping requirements. Pump station challenges included selection of
common pump sizes to accept a wide range of flows. The $11 million project was constructed as an LID, with the
first construction contract beginning in the summer of 2000 and the last contract completed in April 2003.
Completion of the project lifted a 4-year building moratorium. Challenges included construction of large diameter
HDPE pipe in a heavily traveled roadway with a substantial number of utilities. Contract 3 constructed deep sewers
in soft soil conditions using precast concrete slabs to stabilize the trench bottom.
Tetra Tech services provided: Project management; civil, structural, hydraulic, mechanical design of pipeline and
pump stations; construction management assistance; permitting acquisition.

Sewer Lake Line and PumpStation No. 4 Replacement current
p (current)
City of Mercer Island, Washington
Tetra Tech is responsible for the preliminary design development, permitting and final design documents to replace
approximately 9,000 feet of sewer line located in Lake Washington and relocation of an existing sewer pump
station. The initial project phase included the development and analysis of alternatives to rehabilitate or reconstruct
' the line in the lake, or relocate the line along a new upland alignment. Preparation of the environmental
documentation and permit applications for implementation were prepared following the decision to build a new line
in the lake. Permitting and environmental requirements included preparation of an EIS, Corps of Engineers 404(b)1
analysis, a shoreline characterization, JARPA permit, biological assessment, and a mitigation plan. The pump station
will be cast -in -place with submersible pumps. A small building will house electrical and control equipment as well
as a standby generator. Tetra Tech is currently preparing plans, specifications and cost estimates for construction of
the improvements. Construction is estimated to begin in mid-2007 and projected to cost approximately $12 million.

Soos Creek Area Pump Station D and Pipeline Predesign (2004)
King County DNRP Wastewater Division, Washington
Tetra Tech led a multidisciplinary team for the planning of a 26 mgd wastewater pump station and 22,000 feet of
force main through high traffic area of Covington, wetlands, and other sensitive areas. Preliminary design concluded
that the facility should be designed to handle a wide range of flows, from 5 mgd to 26 mgd. Under consideration
were the number of force mains and operation required to minimize solids deposition, corrosion and odor
generation. The pump station was to be designed for the ultimate 26 mgd flow, but in the early years to have pump
and support equipment to pump around 10 mgd. Inline storage was proposed to shave peaks, reduce station capacity,
' and improve system performance at lower flows. Both single and two -stage pumping were evaluated. The facility
was to include standby power, odor control equipment, and chemical injection for corrosion control and downstream
odor control.
The project looked at a number of routes for the proposed twin force main system, requiring a thorough review and
analysis of the permits, easements and associated costs for each alignment. A number of meetings were held with
the public and affected jurisdictions to inform them of the project and to receive input to the various pipeline
' alignments. Following submittal of the preliminary design report (which was prepared on time and within budget),
the project was put on hold without resolving the pipeline routing issue, pending funding and further collection of
flow data.

Kennydale Lakefront Sewer Replacement (2002)
City of Renton, Washington
The Kennydale lakefront sewer line was installed in 1972 to serve approximately 52 waterfront homes. It is located
approximately 40 feet from the shoreline, often under boat docks, and is partially buried for 4,700 feet from a fresh
water flush station to a sewage lift station. The 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe has been difficult to clean and
maintain for many years due to numerous sags, bends and limited access points. Tetra Tech performed a predesign

analysis of alternatives and completed construction documents for three precast concrete manholes to be placed at
existing low points.
Predesign consisted of a review and evaluation of alternatives for rehabilitating or replacing the facility. Alternative
identification and evaluation was performed using a workshop approach in which key stakeholders were assembled
to ensure that all project goals and constraints were identified before moving ahead in the evaluation effort.
Workshop participants included City of Renton engineering, operations and maintenance staff; a marine contractor
to address constructability issues; the Department of Fish and Wildlife Area Habitat Biologist to identify regulatory
constraints; and key design team members to address construction, permitting and community involvement issues.
Because the cost of replacement alternatives was so great, and the remaining service life of the lake line uncertain,
the recommendation was to implement interim measures to better maintain the line and assess its condition.
All construction was completed "wet" using divers to cut the existing pipeline and
to assist placement of manholes using a barge -mounted crane. Access to each
manhole required a custom -fit portable access shaft for dewatering and cleaning.
Tetra Tech services provided: Predesign analysis; construction documents;
construction observation. Prepared an Environmental Checklist and Biological
Assessment and obtained HPA, Corps Nationwide, and Shoreline Substantial
Development permits.

Engineers American Public Works Association
Mr. Balanko has 40 years experience encompassing a broad variety of geotechnical engineering projects and
involving terrain and climatic conditions ranging from the Canadian Arctic, Central Plains, Cordillera and Pacific
West Coast. The setting of projects in which he has provided geotechnical engineering consultation has ranged
from pristine wilderness to heavily developed urban environment. He has used his broad background in terrain
assessment, slope stability evaluation, site preparation, and foundation design to provide design and construction
guidance for all aspects of public and private developments, both as project engineer and geotechnical project
manager of larger project teams.
Projects involving sewer and water systems have formed a major part of Mr. Balanko's work experience and range
from distribution and collection pipelines and pumping stations for municipal water and sewer works to major
treatment plant facilities and facilities upgrades. Many of these conveyance pipeline facilities have involved
crossings of water bodies and bog terrain, wherein design and construction considerations for submerged and
buoyant conditions applied, and a number have involved large -diameter tunnels installed by both open -cut trench
and trenchless methodologies. Recent projects in which he has been involved in a senior review and/or project
management capacity include: NE Sunset Boulevard Improvements with Kevin Goss and the City of Renton, the
Mercer Island Lake Line with TetraTech/KCM; the Renton Treatment Plant—Dewatering Building Expansion; Lacey
Olympia Tumwater Thurston (LOTT) Wastewater Alliance Hawks Prairie satellite treatment plant project, with
associated conveyance system and upgrades to the Martin Way Pump Station, the Friday Harbor Wastewater
Treatment Plant Improvements; the Pe Ell Water Treatment Plant Improvements; the Chelan Wastewater
Treatment Facility Improvements, and the West 540 and West 650 Pressure Zone water mains for the Bremerton
Water system.
NE Sunset Boulevard Interceptor —Phase II Improvements, Renton, Washington. Mr. Balanko served as the
Principal -in -Charge and Review Engineer for the geotechnical engineering investigation that HWA provided for the
design and construction of new Phase II Improvements to the NE Sunset Boulevard Interceptor in Renton,
Washington. Project limits extended along NE Sunset Boulevard between Union Avenue NE and Ilwaco Avenue
NE (a distance of about 4,800 feet), and along Duvall Avenue NE from Sunset Boulevard to SE 100th Street (a
distance of about 3,000 feet). The project included the design and construction of sewer improvements comprising
replacement and upsizing of the system, and extending the system northward on Duvall Avenue NE, a total length
in excess of 7,800 feet. Since all sewer alignments extend along busy streets comprising from 2 to 5 lanes of
roadway, construction -period traffic disruptions were a significant consideration, along with the costs of dewatering
and restoration of trenched areas if conventional open excavation methods were to be employed. In consideration
of reduction of these potential adverse impacts, HWA's investigation was tailored to evaluate trenchless technology
methods such as pipe -bursting, directional drilling, and pipe jacking.
Thirteen borings were completed along the alignment segments employing hollow -stem auger drilling methods and
sampling via the Standard Penetration Test method. A number of the borings were situated within the old trench
limits to permit evaluation of the backfill properties in regard to pipe -bursting considerations. Piezometers were
installed in a couple of the borings to permit measurement of long-term ground water conditions and variations with
respect to construction considerations.
A variety of subsurface materials were encountered in the borings, ranging from pavement structure overlying
trench backfill (typically sand and gravel) materials to native recessional outwash, Vashon till, and advance
outwash native deposits. Our detailed geotechnical report summarized the subsurface conditions along the
alignment sections, and provided recommendations for pipe -bursting methods, open -cut trenching, construction
dewatering, pipeline bedding and backfill materials, compaction requirements, pipe loading and design
considerations, and jacking and recovery pit design.
Mercer Island Sewer Lake Line —Phase III, Mercer Island, Washington. Lorne served as senior design engineer
for HWA in provision of geotechnical engineering services in support of the proposed Sewer Lake Line Phase III

sanitary sewer lake lines along the north and west shores of the island, and will comprise a combination of gravity
and force mains in water depths ranging from 10 to 25 feet. The project is anticipated to go to construction in 2007
and will entail some 7, 500 feet of gravity sewer main pipeline, 5,750 feet of sewer force main, and 6,900 feet of
side sewers tying in residential properties along the shoreline. A new pump station is also planned and will be
constructed on WSDOT property adjoining the 1-90 Bridge. The pump station will extend to in excess of 50 feet in
depth, because of gravity flow considerations, and the lines will be buried typically 4 to 5 feet below lake bottom.
The lines are anticipated to comprise ductile iron pipe ranging in size from 8 inches for side sewers to 16 inches for
the gravity sewer main.
Following a preliminary report regarding seismic vulnerability assessment of the proposed improvements, based on
available geotechnical information in the area, HWA performed a geotechnical investigation of soil conditions along
the proposed alignment and at the pump station location. The investigation was largely undertaken from a barge
with hollow -stem auger equipment and entailed 13 boreholes spaced relatively uniformly along the pipeline
alignment. Additionally, 7 Vibracore sampling locations of lake bottom sediments were performed to characterize
materials and assess potential contaminant presence relative to offshore disposal regulations in Puget Sound.
HWA's report included discussions of soil liquefaction potential, submarine slope stability, potential settlement
issues for localized areas of lake bottom comprising peat/organic deposits, and trenching and backfilling issues and
requirements. Because of the very substantial depth of the pump station, considerable design review and input
was required with respect to deep excavation, shoring and dewatering considerations and tie-in of lines between
the pump station and offshore lines.
LOTT Wastewater Project, Lacey, Washington. Principle -in -charge of a geotechnical study for a wastewater
treatment facilities project by the Lacey Olympia Tumwater Thurston (LOTT) Wastewater Alliance. The proposed
facilities consist of a new Hawks Prairie Satellite Reclamation Plant, improvements to the existing Martin Way
Pump Station, and conveyance lines. The raw sewage conveyance line from the pump station to the plant
traverses along the East Martin Way roadway embankment adjoining a wetland area, and included a trenchless
crossing. The reclaimed water conveyance line from the plant to the outfall site also entailed trenchless road
crossings at East Martin Way, and at the intersections of Britton Parkway and Marvin Road. A preliminary
geotechnical engineering assessment of the general area of the facilities was performed and a report was prepared
outlining general geotechnical conditions and design considerations for the siting and design of the facilities.
Detailed site and location -specific geotechnical investigations for the facilities were then performed. Separate
reports were prepared for the Hawks Prairie Satellite Reclamation Plant site and various plant components, for the
proposed improvements to the Martin Way Pump Station, and for the conveyance lines between the pump station
and plant and from the plant to the outfall location. Recommendations were provided for foundation support for the
various structures and treatment facility units on both the plant and pump station sites. Earth and potential ground
water pressures and dewatering needs for buried facilities were discussed, and recommendations and guidelines
for site grading and drainage considerations, for open -trench and trenchless construction of the underground
conveyance lines, and for roadway and parking lot pavement development, were also provided in the reports.
Marysville Trunk F to A Sewer Intertie, Marysville, Washington. The City of Marysville planned to install
approximately 5,000 feet of new sewer paralleling a stream channel, and crossing at two locations near the ends of
the project. Served as project manager for a detailed geotechnical engineering investigation delineating subsurface
soil and ground water conditions along the alignment, and undertook preliminary dewatering evaluation for
construction of the sewer pipeline. Results of the investigation and evaluation was included in a comprehensive
report, with recommendations for alignment setback from the stream, trench evaluation and dewatering
requirements, trenchless installation considerations for the crossings, and recommendation for pipe bedding and
backfill.
Bremerton Water System Improvements, Bremerton, Washington. Principal in charge of geotechnical
investigations and engineering analyses for proposed 1 MG above -ground reservoir, pump station, and over 5,000
feet of transmission line, comprising part of the West 540 and West 650 Pressure Zones of the Bremerton Water
System. The investigations comprised both test pit and boring explorations, which revealed that the site is
underlain by glacial soils and bedrock; the latter at shallow depth in places. Recommendations were provided for
seismic considerations, reservoir and pump station foundations, trench dewatering and excavation including
excavation in bedrock. Potential for slope instability was assessed and recommendations provided for suitable
mitigation measures, where the lines might be adversely influenced.

Conduct a brainstorming workshop to develop alternatives to provide sewer service. This workshop
would facilitated by consultant and include the proposed design team and City staff.
■ The brainstorming workshop would be a one day meeting conducted at the consultant's office.
■ It will establish goals and objectives for the proposed project.
■ An open sharing of concepts and alignments will be conducted.
■ Then the concepts will be reduced to three feasible alternatives in addition to the City's current alternative.
■ Trenchless Technologies will be evaluated where pipe replacement is proposed. Since much of the existing
sewer is within developed roadways, Pipe Bursting may be appropriate but will depend on the number of
sidesewer connections along the alignment.
All four alternatives and alignments will be appropriated sized to accommodate the build out design
flows. Cost estimates will be generated for the four alternatives. A decision matrix will be generated
to develop a solution which provides the greatest cost/benefit to the City. The process, facts and
findings, conclusions, and recommendations will be summarized in a written report for the City's
consideration.

2. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
KERSEY 3 SEWER LIFT STATION
Auburn, Washington
Hammond Collier was selected to prepare an Engineering Report to evaluate the need for a pump
station to serve a proposed new development. The Engineering Report resulted in the development of
3 alternatives to serve the properties. Alternatives included 1 high head (365 ft) lift station, a 2 lift
station scenario, and a gravity system. Hammond Collier recommended the 2 lift station scenario
because it worked well with the phasing of the developments and also would expedite construction.

PUMP STATION REHABILITATION DESIGN
City of Entiat, Washington
The City of Entiat selected Hammond Collier to
evaluate 4 of their existing wastewater pump
stations for necessary upgrades and improvements.
In addition, Hammond Collier evaluated siting
considerations for a proposed new future pump
station along the Entiat River.
Hammond Collier's evaluation of the 4 existing
wastewater pump stations included documenting
the existing facilities from conducting site visits,
reviewing as -built records, developing estimates of
projected wastewater flows, evaluating alternatives,
and developing recommendations for upgrades
and cost estimates for each pump station.
Hammond Collier prepared an Engineering Report
that summarized our findings, recommendations,
and conclusions to rehabilitate the pump stations,
which was approved and adopted by the City.
Hammond Collier and our subconsultants then
'
proceeded with design plans and specifications,
which entailed major modifications to the
mechanical, electrical, and telementry facilities at
1
3 of the 4 pump stations. This included new
submersible duplex pumps, piping, valves and
valve vault, forcemain drain, hatches, and over
2,300 lineal feet of new off -site forcemain and
gravity sewer pipelines.

Pre -design evaluations determined
that abandonment and removal of
the 4th pump station from service
was possible and therefore a design
was developed whereby it was
replaced with over 1,700 lineal feet
of new gravity sewer.
In addition, new site improvements
were designed at each site including
improved security, paved surfaces,
washdown facilities and ventilation.

TRANSFER PIPELINE To EvERETT
City of Marysville, Washington
Hammond Collier was a team member on the Effluent Transfer Pipeline
Project for the City of Marysville. This $49 million dollar project includes
treatment plant upgrades, a new effluent pump station, and a 36-inch diameter
day effluent transfer pipeline that has an 18-million gallons per day capacity.
The 23,000-foot route of the pipeline traverses three significant tidal water
crossings and 4 miles of narrow public streets whose traffic cannot be rerouted,
and also adjoins continuous wetlands. Hammond Collier was responsible for
PS&E development for the pump station and effluent transfer pipeline.
Effluent Pump Station replaced three existing 3,000 gpm vertical turbine pumps
with four 4,700 gpm vertical turbine pumps. The total dynamic head capacity
of the pump station was increased from 15 feet to 104 feet in order to
accommodate the future effluent transfer pipeline. We also replaced the
discharge piping in order to accommodate increased flows, the added flow
diversion vaults to vary effluent discharge points, and made provisions for
bypass pumping during construction.

LANDAU
City -Wide Sewer System — Natural Resource Inventory; Carnation,
WA. As part of the vacuum conveyance sewer system project in Carnation,
14' ASSOCIATES Landau Associates completed an inventory of critical environmental areas
within city limits along and in the vicinity of the proposed system alignment
and vacuum stations. Biologists conducted a reconnaissance -level study to identify wetlands, streams, rivers, and
' critical wildlife habitat using aerial photographic interpretation, review of existing public domain resources, and field
verification. Overlays on aerial photographs showing the presence of wetland, river, and wildlife habitat were
produced as part of the report documenting existing conditions, wetland and stream classifications and buffers, and
' the potential regulatory implications for development in and adjacent to these areas, including a discussion of
Shoreline Management permits. This information was used to refine the proposed alignment for the new city-wide
sewer system and to prepare environmental permit applications.
North Creek Interceptor Project; Bothell, WA. Landau Associates is providing environmental and geotechnical
engineering services for a new sewer interceptor for the Alderwood Water and Wastewater District. The project
' will consist of approximately 9000 feet of 48-inch sewer pipe and will extend from near the intersection of 196Th
Street and SR 527 in Snohomish County to 228th Street in Bothell, roughly following the North Creek drainage.
The project scope includes assessment of three alternatives, all of which include multiple stream and highway
crossings. Construction techniques that will be considered include trenching with shored excavations and
trenchless technologies. A phase one site assessment of the project corridor has been completed and has identified
a number of sites of potential contamination. A phase two assessment will be completed upon determination of the
preferred alignment
' Percival Pump Station; Olympia, WA. Landau Associates is providing environmental documentation and
geotechnical engineering services to Kennedy/Jenks and the City of Olympia to support a route study and

Capital Lake area of Olympia, Washington. The pump station is proposed for a vacant lot across from Marathon
Park. The location of the pump station on the lot has not been determined. The pump station may be constructed
either at grade or below grade. The new potable water pipeline is anticipated to have a diameter of between 12 and
16 inches and be constructed of restrained joint ductile iron pipe or butt fusion welded HDPE. The water re -use
pipe is anticipated to be constructed out of 4-inch butt fusion HDPE pipe. Three corridors are being considered
' for the new pipeline. Environmental documentation includes addressing permitting issues (NEPA, SEPA, BA, etc.)
and wetland delineation. Geotechnical issues being addressed include seismic vulnerability, open trenching,
trenchless construction, construction on and adjacent to steep slopes, and high groundwater.
