Introduction 
The City of El Mirage (City) owns and operates the El Mirage Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF); a 
tertiary wastewater treatment facility designed with a capacity of 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd).  The 
facility operates using the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology that currently has four (4) SBR 
basins to meet capacity. The WRF influent flow is nearing 80% of its design capacity and the service area, 
though limited in size, has the potential to increase flows to the plant at build out by approximately 
500,000 gallons per day. The City has requested Wood to provide design services for an expansion of the 
treatment capacity to 3.15 mgd. 
Expansion of the facility will generally consist of additional equalization basin capacity, a new SBR basin, 
expanded surge basin capacity, and additional process equipment and systems required to meet the 
increased wastewater treatment capacity. The additional items include fine screen, pumps, blowers, 
tertiary filter, odor control equipment, electrical systems, and controls. A new sludge dewatering 
centrifuge and a back-up chlorination system are included in the scope of services 
The project will require site investigations including survey, geotechnical investigations, and potholing. 
Support disciplines include electrical and structural engineering. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning 
(HVAC) and architectural services are included for the new Blower Building, and the new Influent Channel 
building over the influent channels and screen. Both the Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) and the AZPDES 
permit have ratings of 3.6 mgd and do not need to be modified. Typical approval-to-construct (ATC) and 
City permits will be required. The preparation of pre-construction permits is included with our services. 
Details of the design services to expand the facility to meet the future needs of the City are provided 
below. 
1.1 
Background 
Facility staff operates the 2.5-mgd SBR system, which produces Class B+ effluent. The facility is nearing 
80% of its design capacity, which triggers the regulatory requirement to begin planning and design for 
additional capacity. To meet future build-out requirements, the City is requesting a design to expand the 
plant to keep up with the increasing demands expected from new residential developments that are 
planned within the service area. This project will expand the treatment capacity of the plant and process 
equipment essential to operation of the new processes and systems. 
1.2 
Scope of Design Services / Project Understanding 
The El Mirage WRF expansion project includes not only the installation of new treatment basins, but 
additional process upgrades to ensure unit processes meet the needs of the expanded capacity of the 
plant, and to provide operational flexibility. The following is a summary of the main components that will 
be included in the design documents to construct the new facilities:

o 
HVAC – for heating/cooling and ventilation requirements in new buildings and assistance 
with odor control ducting 
Electrical Assumptions: Based on existing drawings, this proposal assumes the existing SES and generators 
are both sized to provide supply power for the new equipment. The design will provide a new breaker to 
power the new MCC. The PLC cabinet design for controls is to be provided by the SBR manufacturer; PLC 
and SCADA programming to be performed by others and are not provided in this scope of services. The 
proposal also assumes the existing grounding system is sufficient to provide the required additional 
equipment protection. 
Key design requirements include: 
• 
New EQ Basin to be hydraulically connected to the existing EQ Basin. The design will need to 
allow flow through the headworks and into either basin. Neither will require a direct connection 
to or from the influent pump station. 
• 
New Surge Basin to be hydraulically and operationally connected to the existing Surge Basin. 
• 
Relocation of the existing manhole and sewer piping located towards the north side of the facility, 
near the west side of SBR 3, is to be avoided in the plant expansion design if possible. 
*Deferred Submittal Notes:

Project Task Descriptions 
The scope of services and fee proposal are based on project scope discussions with the City on August 18 
and 30, 2021. Additional scope items were provided in an email from the City dated September 21, 2021. 
The proposed scope of services is broken down into tasks and sub-tasks, as follows. 
2.1 
Task 1 – Project Management  
Wood will provide management for the Project Team under Task 1, which will include coordination, 
reporting, directing, administrative services for engineering services, and organizing and facilitating 
design-phase meetings. The specific tasks are broken down as follows. 
Task 1100 – Project Management and Coordination 
Project budget, schedule and progress will be monitored and tracked for deadline compliance, and the 
project budget does not exceed the approved contract value. Wood’s Project Manager will communicate 
with the City’s Project Representative via onsite meetings, email and phone calls throughout the project to 
report project progress and address comments and questions from the City. Wood will prepare progress 
reports and prepare consolidated invoices for submittal to the City on a monthly basis. 
Task 1200 – Project Meetings 
Organizing, attending, and conducting up to ten (10) design meetings with the Project Team are provided 
in the scope of services. The Project Team will consist of Wood, City staff and subconsultants, as required. 
Wood will provide a meeting agenda prior to each meeting and meeting notes that summarize any 
decisions and actions items resulting from each meeting. 
Project meetings will include a project kick-off meeting, a design concept review meeting, and up to three 
(3) design review meetings coordinated with the design submittal milestones. Design review meetings are 
scheduled two weeks after each design submittal to allow the City time to review the submittal. Although 
not necessary, Wood would prefer City review comments prior to the meeting to be able discuss specific 
comments in detail at the meeting. Wood will utilize the design review comments and discussion at these 
meetings to continue forward with the next phase of the design. 
2.2 
Task 2 – Conceptual Design / Design Concept Report 
The intent of the Detailed Design Services of the project is to prepare a complete set of Design Drawings, 
Technical Specifications, opinion of probable construction costs, and development of bid documents. The 
preparation of bid documents is included as an allowance and the scope will be developed once the 
construction approach is determined as this will determine the level of effort required. Each task and sub-
task will build upon the previous task to develop the final product for construction. 
Work product developed for the conceptual design includes the Design Concept Report (DCR) of the 
plant expansion and related improvements. The DCR will be submitted to Maricopa County Environmental 
Services Department (MCESD) as part of the Approval-to-Construct (ATC) application. In general, the task 
includes land survey, potholing, geotechnical investigations to determine existing site conditions, 
development of existing site drawings, and the DCR. A preliminary opinion of probable construction costs 
(OPCC) will be prepared for construction budget planning. The specific sub-tasks under Task 2 include:

Task 2100 – Background Investigations 
Wood will review and utilize the background information relevant for the project design. This task consists 
of gathering, organizing, and reviewing available information, including record drawings, equipment 
nameplate data, permits, and plant operational and performance data. Wood will work with plant 
personnel to identify project constraints. 
Land Survey 
The land survey will identify the surface contour elevations and locate coordinates of the existing 
surface features, soil boring locations and underground features that are identified by review of 
existing records and the potholing activity. Site facility locations will be in accordance with the 
Arizona Plane Coordinate (1983) System Datum and North American Vertical Datum of 1988 
(NAVD 88). 
Geotechnical Investigations 
Geotechnical investigations will include soil borings to determine soil characteristics and 
structural load capacity of the underlying soils of the new EQ, SBR, and Surge Basin. The proposal 
includes up to 7 borings, each up to 35 feet deep. Data from a previous boring for Filter #4 will be 
used along with the other borings for the new Influent Channel Building foundation 
consideration. Wood geotechnical engineers and/or geologists will supervise the field 
investigation to be performed by a sub-contracted drill rig and drill crews. Laboratory testing will 
be performed to provide data for the engineering analysis. A geotechnical report will be prepared 
to document the localized site conditions for design and construction. 
Potholing 
It is anticipated that existing underground utilities are not located on record drawings, or not 
located in accordance with the available documentation. The proposal includes a potholing 
allowance to uncover the location and depths of buried utilities. A detailed proposal will be 
developed with costs that will be submitted to the City for approval before proceeding with the 
work. 
Task 2200 – Conceptual Design 
Wood will develop a conceptual design of the facility for discussions with the City. The conceptual design 
will present the basic features and arrangements of equipment and systems for the expanded plant. The 
basic layouts include the EQ Basin, SBR Basin, expanded Surge Basin, Blower Building, new centrifuge, and 
existing centrifuge relocation. The presentation of the conceptual design will be directed to focus on key 
design approaches, including screen installation, EQ basin and Surge basin hydraulic connections, and 
centrifuge layout/relocation. The discussions will focus on making decisions on key equipment and 
layouts, as well as making preliminary selections on major equipment. 
In the conceptual design task, Wood will develop a Table of Contents (TOC) for the Technical 
Specifications to be developed for the project. Outlines of the major equipment design criteria will be
