Parker, City Manager AND QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE SUBJECT: Engineering Agreement for a Water Department Emergency Power Source PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to seek authorization from the Mayor and members of the City Council to enter into a contract agreement with the engineering firm of Black and Veatch, for the evaluation of an Emergency/Standby Power Source and an initial vulnerability assessment for the Water Department . em BACKGROUND The Riverside Water Treatment Plant (WTP) , Airlite WTP, and Slade Avenue facility are fed from two electrical lines, however they are from the same ComEd sub-station. Should this sub-station fail for any reason, the water department plants and facilities would be out of service for an undetermined length of time . The proposed agreement with Black & Veatch is to provide an engineering study to assess the Water Department' s need for emergency back-up power source to operate Water Department' s facilities to ensure continuous service to the City of Elgin. The study will determine the size of power generators, location of generators, capital costs, maintenance, and manpower requirements for each facility. Following the study will be the design and implementation of the recommended steps in 2002 . Also an initial study phase to identify the appropriate scope of a vulnerability assessment of Water Department facilities will be undertaken. A copy of the proposed agreement for engineering services is rikattached. f" Emergency Power January 4 , 2002 Page 2 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None . 0 FINANCIAL IMPACT Originally $370 , 000 was budgeted for the Shales Parkway Watermain project, account number 380-4000-795 . 92-41, project number 409549 (2000 Bond Fund - Water portion) .

Hunt Vice President 9 co 01 1-'gin.Aercc 10/29/01 ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES The project involves an initial study that will identify the emergency power supply requirements for the CITY's water system during a commercial power outage and the initial phase of identifying the appropriate scope for a vulnerability assessment of the CITY's water system against potential security threats. The scope of services is as follows: EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY STUDY 1. Establish Objectives. Conduct a workshop with CITY staff to establish objectives for an emergency power supply to serve the water utility during a commercial power outage. The workshop shall include discussions of the following: • Minimum quantity of water to be delivered during an emergency • Minimum quality of water to be delivered during an emergency • Minimum water pressure to be met during an emergency • Preferred source of raw water • Critical supply, treatment, and distribution facilities to be operational during an emergency • Budgetary or schedule requirements of the CITY • Aesthetic constraints such as ambient noise, appearance, or emissions of emergency generation facilities. • Desired reliability/redundancy of emergency power facilities 2. Determine Distribution Hydraulic Requirements. Utilize the existing computer model of the water distribution system to determine the distribution system pumping requirements to meet the objectives established in Task 1. 3. Determine Emergency Power Requirements. Identify the required water utility facilities necessary to meet the objectives established in Task 1, and determine the associated electrical requirements. 4. Evaluate Emergency Power Alternatives. Evaluate various approaches to provide emergency power generation to meet the requirements established in Task 3. 5. Evaluate Fuel Alternatives, Evaluate alternative fuels and fuel storage for the emergency generator(s). 6. Define Emergency Power System. Conduct a meeting with CITY staff to present the results of the evaluations and recommend an emergency power system to meet the objectives established in Task 1. Agree on the preferred emergency power supply facilities. 7. Prepare Opinion of Probable Cost. Prepare a preliminary opinion of probable construction cost for the recommended emergency power system. 8. Estimate O&M Requirements. Estimate the necessary labor, fuel and supplies to operate and maintain the recommended emergency power system. 9. Prepare Implementation Plan. Consider phased implementation of the project, and traditional Design—Bid—Build or alternative Design—Build approaches. Recommend the appropriate project implementation approach and schedule. 10. Prepare Draft Report. Prepare a draft report summarizing the findings and recommendations of the study. Submit ten (10) copies to CITY for review and comment. 11. Review Report, Meet with owner to discuss the draft report, and receive comments. 12. Prepare Final Report. Incorporate review comments, and submit twenty(20) copies of the final report to CITY. WATER SYSTEM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMET 1. Develop Scope of Work. In cooperation with CITY staff's current security evaluations, develop a recommended scope of work for a vulnerability assessment of the CITY's water supply, treatment, and distribution facilities. If Federal regulations or guidelines are promulgated by March 2002 as currently expected, the recommended scope of work shall conform to such regulations or guidelines. Potential threats to be considered include facility security, operating system security, chemical and/or biological threats, and anti-terrorism. Based on the recommendations developed for the study, the CITY may proceed with a water system vulnerability assessment through an amendment to this Agreement. SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES Any work requested by CITY that is not included in one of the items listed above will be classified as Supplemental Services. Supplemental Services shall include but are not limited to: 1. Assess Feasibility of Supplementing Commercial Power. Assess the economic feasibility of utilizing the emergency power generation facilities during non- emergency conditions to reduce the cost of commercial power. 2. Assess Vulnerability of Water System. Conduct a vulnerability assessment of the CITY's water supply, treatment, and distribution facilities. ATTACHMENT B CITY'S RESPONSIBILITES The CITY will furnish, as required by the work and not at the cost of the ENGINEER, the following: 1. All drawings, reports, records, and other data that are available in the files of the CITY and which may be useful in the work. 2. The services of one employee who has the right of entry to, and has knowledge of, the existing water facilities. 3. Attendance of appropriate CITY staff at the initial workshop to establish the identified objectives for emergency water operations.
