EXHIBIT A 
SCOPE OF WORK 
 
Introduction 
During the execution of Task 3.4 of the Water System Program, which involved identifying 
opportunities to enhance the maximum process and hydraulic throughput of the Pecos 
Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP), several additional tasks are needed to improve 
water quality in 2024. These tasks are outlined in the subsequent sections. 
 
Task 1 – High Rate Filtration Testing 
Filtration rates up to 8.5 gallons per minute per square foot (gpm/sf) were determined to 
be hydraulically feasible through the existing filters at Pecos SWTP. Currently, the filters are 
designed and approved for a filtration rate of 5.0 gpm/sf. This task includes testing existing 
filters at increased filter loading rates to determine if the existing filters can be rated to 
utilize higher filtration rates for long-term planning to meet capacity needs. Two (2) filters, 
taken from Filters 1 through 4 will be selected for the test. These filters will operate at 
filtration rates greater than 5.0 gpm/sf for the duration of the test to allow for performance 
comparisons to the other filters operating in parallel operating at filtration rates necessary 
to meet production capacity needs. 
• 
Task 1.1 - MCESD Permitting 
In this task, Consultant with coordinate with Maricopa County Environmental Services 
Department (MCESD) for approval to conduct a full scale demonstration test. 
Consultant will develop draft and final test plan for City and MCESD approval. One 
additional meeting is assumed for final approval of the test plan. After conclusion of 
full-scale testing, two meetings are allowed to discuss results with MCESD and request 
full-scale approval for increased filter loading rates. 
• 
Task 1.2 - Control System Modifications 
Consultant will develop a draft and final process control narrative (PCN) to document 
the control requirements to operate 2 filters at different flowrates, meeting target 
filtration rates, as compared to the remaining online filters needed to meet production 
needs. Two PCN workshops (Draft and Final) will be conducted with City’s Control 
System Integrator. Consultant to attend in-person Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). 
Consultant to attend in-person Site Acceptance Test (SAT). 
• 
Task 1.3 - On Site Support 
Consultant to be present on site for first 3 days of full scale operations of new control 
philosophy. Consultant to hold daily check-ins with operations staff for the next 10 days 
of operation after, including weekends, to discuss operational results for each 24 hour 
time block. 
• 
Task 1.4 - Data Analysis and Reporting 
Consultant to analyze two months of operational data and present results to City. 
Consultant will develop a draft and final report of findings to support the request of full-
scale implementation of increased filtration rates for MCESD.

Project No.: PW3-925-4631 
Rev. 1/16/2024 
The official application for plant capacity rerating is not encompassed within this scope, 
primarily due to the uncertainty surrounding the level of effort required for rerating. The 
Consultant will collaborate with MCESD to determine the necessary efforts and work with 
the City to allocate Allowance funds, if required, for the rerate effort. 
  
Task 2 - Other Process Testing 
Hydraulic analysis conducted by Consultant indicates that hydraulic and/or process 
bottlenecks may occur as the Pecos SWTP operates at flowrates approaching 60 mgd or 
above. To clearly define these limitations, temporary testing of individual treatment units 
will aid in identifying these limitations and offer insights on methods of alleviating these 
performance issues. 
• 
Task 2.1 - Test Plan 
Consultant to write draft and final test plan to observe the following systems: 
o 
Presedimentation - Process performance issues with solids carry over when a single 
train is operated at greater than 30 mgd. 
o 
Ballasted Flocculation - Hydraulic bottlenecks when filters are at normal operating 
levels and total process flow exceeds 30 mgd through two trains. 
o 
Conventional Sedimentation - Waves observed when Trains 1 and 3 are operated at 
greater than 10 mgd each. Operations staff has not indicated that Train 2 
experiences waves and is excluded from this analysis. 
• 
Task 2.2 - On-Site Observation and Analysis 
o 
Consultant to observe each of the above systems on-site during operations. 
Consultant to report results in a presentation to City. 
  
Task 3 - Near Term Control System Improvements 
Multiple additional process control concerns have been identified in recent years. To 
improve operations during the summer of 2024 and to inform the long-term 
implementation of the SCADA system improvements currently underway (by others), 
control system modifications are recommended. 
• 
Task 3.1 - Control System Modifications 
Consultant will develop draft and final PCNs to document the following systems. The 
intent is to address these issues prior to Task 1. 
o 
Backwash Equalizing Basin (BWEQ) Recycle System - Improve ability to accept flows 
into the storage basins and recycle water at a constant rate back to the head of the 
facility over the course of the 24 hour operational day. Draft PCN by others will be 
used as basis to begin work on this system. 
o 
Filter Flow Control/Level Trim - Improve flow balance between Filters 1-8 and Filters 
9-12, which currently differ greater than 5% much of the time. 
o 
Raw Water Pump Station (RWPS) 2 Flow Control/Level Trim - Develop the ability of 
this pump station to operate completely independent of RWPS 1, allowing 
operations to operate Ballasted Flocculation without Conventional Sedimentation 
being online. 
o 
Two (2) PCN workshops (Draft and Final) will be conducted with City’s Control 
System Integrator. Consultant to attend in-person Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). 
Consultant to attend in-person Site Acceptance Test (SAT).

• 
Task 3.2 - On Site Support 
o 
Consultant to be present on site for first 3 days of full scale operations of new 
control philosophies. Consultant to hold daily check-ins with operations staff for the 
next 10 days of operation after, including weekends, to discuss operational results 
for each 24 hour time block. 
• 
Task 3.3 - Data Analysis and Reporting 
o 
Consultant to analyze two months of operational data and present results to City. 
This analysis can be used to determine the best implementation methodology for 
the new SCADA system to be implemented at a later date. Results will be 
documented in a Technical Memorandum. 
 
Assumptions 
• 
It is expected that the test, once begun, will last a minimum of two (2) months to collect 
data. Longer testing may be required by MCESD or may be preferred by City staff if 
performance results are positive. 
• 
Control System Integration will be performed by the City. Work to be conducted in 
existing Foxboro control system. 
• 
Operational data, in 5 minute timesteps, to be exported in tabular format by City and 
provided to Consultant. 
• 
Project Management activities, which are about 10% of the effort, will be covered under 
Water System Program, Task 100.
