5.2 Records/Audit. Records of Consultant’s direct personnel payroll, reimbursable expenses
pertaining to this Agreement and records of accounts between City and Consultant must be
kept on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and must be made available to
City and its auditors for up to three years following City’s final acceptance of the services
under this Agreement (this requirement is increased to five years if construction of this
project is federally funded). City, its authorized representative, or any federal agency,
reserves the right to audit Consultant’s records to verify the accuracy and appropriateness of
all cost and pricing data, including data used to negotiate this Agreement and any
amendments. City reserves the right to decrease the total amount of Agreement price or
payments made under this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following
final Agreement payment on this Agreement if, upon audit of Consultant’s records, the audit
discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate cost and pricing data.
Consultant will include a similar provision in all of its Agreements with subconsultants who
provide services under the Agreement to ensure that City, its authorized representative, or
the appropriate federal agency, has access to the subconsultants’ records to verify the
accuracy of all cost and pricing data. City reserves the right to decrease Agreement price or
payments made on this Agreement or request reimbursement from Consultant following

final payment on this Agreement if the above provision is not included in subconsultant
agreements, and one or more subconsultants refuse to allow City to audit their records to
verify the accuracy and appropriateness of all cost and pricing data. If, following an audit of
this Agreement, the audit discloses Consultant has provided false, misleading, or inaccurate
cost and pricing data, and the cost discrepancies exceed 1% of the total Agreement billings,
Consultant will be liable for reimbursement of the reasonable, actual cost of the audit.
5.3 Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results
in a substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the
scope of services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as
directed by City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must
be approved and executed by City and Consultant. Such amendment must not be effective
until approved by City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as
provided herein may be made, and the compensation to be paid to Consultant may
accordingly be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and
agreed that no claim for extra services or materials furnished by Consultant will be allowed
by City except as provided herein, nor must Consultant do any work or furnish any materials
not covered by this Agreement unless such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work
or materials furnished by Consultant without prior written authorization will be at
Consultant’s own risk, cost, and expense, and Consultant hereby agrees that without written
authorization Consultant will make no claim for compensation for such work or materials
furnished.
5.4 Termination. City and Consultant hereby agree to the full performance of the covenants
contained herein, except that City reserves the right, at its discretion and without cause, to
terminate or abandon any service provided for in this Agreement, or abandon any portion of
the Project for which services have been performed by Consultant. In the event City abandons
or suspends the services, or any part of the services as provided in this Agreement, City will
notify Consultant in writing and immediately after receiving such notice, Consultant must
discontinue advancing the work specified under this Agreement. Upon such termination,
abandonment, or suspension, Consultant must deliver to City all drawings, plans,
specifications, special provisions, estimates and other work entirely or partially completed,
together with all unused materials supplied by City. Consultant must appraise the work
Consultant has completed and submit Consultant’s appraisal to City for evaluation. City may
inspect Consultant’s work to appraise the work completed. Consultant will receive
compensation in full for services performed to the date of such termination. The fee will be
paid in accordance with Section Ill of this Agreement, and as mutually agreed upon by
Consultant and City. If there is no mutual agreement on payment, the final determination will
be made in accordance with the "Disputes" provision in this Agreement. However, in no event
may the fee exceed the fee set forth in Section Ill of this Agreement nor as amended in
accordance with Section "Alteration in Character of Work." City will make the final payment
within 60 days after Consultant has delivered the last of the partially completed items and
the Parties agree on the final fee. If City is found to have improperly terminated the
Agreement for cause or default, the termination will be converted to a termination for
convenience in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
5.5 Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Consultant ("lndemnitor") must
Docusign Envelope ID: DB503729-2B8E-4D2B-B076-B4290038DF0A
Project Name: Integrated Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Master Plan
Project No.:

Rev. 9/30/25
Page 5
indemnify, save and hold harmless City and its officers, officials, agents and employees
("lndemnitee") from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses or expenses
(including court costs, attorneys' fees and costs of claim processing, investigation and
litigation) ("Claims") caused or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by the wrongful,
negligent or willful acts, or errors or omissions of Consultant or any of its owners, officers,
directors, agents, employees, or subconsultants in connection with this Agreement. This
indemnity includes any claim or amount arising out of or recovered under workers'
compensation law or on account of the failure of Consultant to conform to any federal, state
or local law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or court decree. Consultant must indemnify
lndemnitee from and against any and all Claims, except those arising solely from
lndemnitee's own negligent or willful acts or omissions. Consultant is responsible for primary
loss investigation, defense and judgment costs where this indemnification applies. In
consideration of the award of this Agreement, Consultant agrees to waive all rights of
subrogation against lndemnitee for losses arising from or related to this Agreement. The
obligations of Consultant under this provision survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
5.6 Insurance Requirements. Consultant must procure insurance under the terms and
conditions and for the amounts of coverage set forth in Exhibit “C” against claims that may
arise from or relate to performance of the work under this Agreement by Consultant and its
agents, representatives, employees, and subconsultants. Consultant and any subconsultant
must maintain this insurance until all of their obligations have been discharged, including any
warranty periods under this Agreement. These insurance requirements are minimum
requirements for this Agreement and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in
this Agreement. City in no way warrants that the minimum limits stated in Exhibit “C” are
sufficient to protect Consultant from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the
work under this Agreement by Consultant, Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees,
or subconsultants. Consultant is free to purchase such additional insurance as may be
determined necessary.
5.7 Cooperation and Further Documentation. Consultant agrees to provide City such other
duly executed documents as may be reasonably requested by City to implement the intent
of this Agreement.
5.8 Successors and Assigns. City and Consultant each bind itself, its partners, successors,
assigns, and legal representatives to the other party to this Agreement and to the partners,
successors, assigns, and legal representatives of such other party in respect to all covenants
of this Agreement. Neither City nor Consultant may assign, sublet, or transfer its interest in
this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In no event may any
contractual relation be created between any third party and City.
5.9 Disputes. In any dispute arising out of an interpretation of this Agreement or the duties
required not disposed of by agreement between Consultant and City, the final determination
at the administrative level will be made by City Engineer.

5.10 Completeness and Accuracy of Consultant’s Work. Consultant must be responsible for
the completeness and accuracy of Consultant’s services, data, and other work prepared or
compiled under Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement and must correct, at
Consultant’s expense, all willful or negligent errors, omissions, or acts that may be discovered.
Correction of errors disclosed and determined to exist during any construction of the project on
architectural or engineering drawings and specifications must be accomplished by Consultant.
The cost of the design necessary to correct those errors attributable to Consultant and any
damage incurred by City as a result of additional construction costs caused by such engineering
or architectural errors will be chargeable to Consultant and will not be considered a cost of the
Work. The fact that City has accepted or approved Consultant’s work will in no way relieve
Consultant of any of Consultant’s responsibilities.
5.11 Reporting. Written monthly reports, along with updated work schedules, will be made by
Consultant in the format prescribed by City. These reports will be delivered to City per schedule.
When requested by City, Consultant will attend Council meetings and provide finished documents
including correspondence for Council action, supporting charts, graphs, drawings and colored
slides of same.
5.12 Withholding Payment. City reserves the right to withhold funds from Consultant’s
payments up to the amount equal to the claims City may have against Consultant until such
time that a settlement on those claims has been reached.
5.13 City's Right of Cancellation. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is subject to
cancellation by City under the provisions of Section 38-511, Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.).
5.14 Independent Consultant. For this Agreement Consultant constitutes an independent
contractor. Any provisions in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to direct
Consultant as to the details of accomplishing the work or to exercise a measure of control
over the work means that Consultant must follow the wishes of City as to the results of the
work only. These results must comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.
5.15 Project Staffing. Prior to the start of any work under this Agreement, Consultant must
submit to City detailed resumes of key personnel that will be involved in performing services
prescribed in the Agreement. City hereby acknowledges its acceptance of such personnel to
perform services under this Agreement. At any time hereafter that Consultant desires to
change key personnel while performing under the Agreement, Consultant must submit the
qualifications of the new personnel to City for prior approval. Key personnel include, but are
not limited to, principals-in-charge, project manager, and project Consultant. Consultant will
maintain an adequate and competent staff of qualified persons, as may be determined by
City, throughout the performance of this Agreement to ensure acceptable and timely
completion of the Scope of Services. If City objects, with reasonable cause, to any of
Consultant’s staff, Consultant must take prompt corrective action acceptable to City and, if
required, remove such personnel from the Project and replace with new personnel agreed to
by City.
5.16 Consultants or Subconsultants. Prior to beginning the work, Consultant must furnish City
for approval the names of consultants or subconsultants to be used under this Agreement.

Any subsequent changes are subject to City’s written prior approval.
5.17 Force Majeure. If either party is delayed or prevented from the performance of any act
required under this Agreement by reason of acts of God or other cause beyond the control
and without fault of the Party (financial inability excepted), performance of that act may be
excused, but only for the period of the delay, if the Party provides written notice to the other
Party within ten days of such act. The time for performance of the act may be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of delay from the date written notice is received by the other
Party.
5.18 Compliance with Federal Laws. Consultant understands and acknowledges the
applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform and Control Act
of 1986 and the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1989 to it. Consultant agrees to comply with these
laws in performing this Agreement and to permit City to verify such compliance.
5.19 No Israel Boycott. By entering into this Agreement, Consultant certifies that Consultant
is not currently engaged in, and agrees for the duration of the Agreement, not to engage in a
boycott of Israel as defined by state statute.
5.20 Legal Worker Requirements. A.R.S. § 41-4401 prohibits City from awarding an Agreement
to any consultant who fails, or whose subconsultants fail, to comply with A.R.S. § 23-214(A).
Therefore, Consultant agrees Consultant and each subconsultant it uses warrants their
compliance with all federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their employees
and their compliance with § 23-214, subsection A. A breach of this warranty will be deemed a
material breach of the Agreement and may be subject to penalties up to and including
termination of the Agreement. City retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any
Consultant’s or subconsultant’s employee who provides services under this Agreement to
ensure that Consultant and subconsultants comply with the warranty under this provision.
5.21 Lawful Presence Requirement. A.R.S. §§ 1-501 and 1-502 prohibit City from awarding an
Agreement to any natural person who cannot establish that such person is lawfully present
in the United States. To establish lawful presence, a person must produce qualifying
identification and sign a City-provided affidavit affirming that the identification provided is
genuine. This requirement will be imposed at the time of Agreement award. This requirement
does not apply to business organizations such as corporations, partnerships, or limited
liability companies.
5.22 Covenant Against Contingent Fees. Consultant warrants that no person has been
employed or retained to solicit or secure this Agreement upon an agreement or
understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee, and that no
member of the Chandler City Council, or any City employee has any interest, financially, or
otherwise, in Consultant’s firm. For breach or violation of this warrant, City may annul this
Agreement without liability or, at its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or
consideration, the full amount of such commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee.
5.23 Non-Waiver Provision. The failure of either Party to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement or to require performance of the other Party of any of the provisions hereof must
Docusign Envelope ID: DB503729-2B8E-4D2B-B076-B4290038DF0A
Project Name: Integrated Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Master Plan

Rev. 9/30/25
Page 8
not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, nor must it affect the validity of this
Agreement or any part thereof, or the right of either Party to thereafter enforce each and
every provision.
5.24 Disclosure of Information Adverse to City’s Interests. To evaluate and avoid potential
conflicts of interest, Consultant must provide written notice to City, as set forth in this Section,
of any work or services performed by Consultant for third parties that may involve or be
associated with any real property or personal property owned or leased by City. Such notice
must be given 7 business days prior to commencement of the services by Consultant for a
third party, or 7 business days prior to an adverse action as defined below. Written notice
and disclosure must be sent in accordance with Section 6.7 above. An adverse action under
this Agreement includes, but is not limited to: (a) using data as defined in the Agreement
acquired in connection with this Agreement to assist a third party in pursuing administrative
or judicial action against City; or (b) testifying or providing evidence on behalf of any person
in connection with an administrative or judicial action against City; or (c) using data to produce
income for Consultant or its employees independently of performing the services under this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of City. Consultant represents that except for
those persons, entities, and projects identified to City, the services performed by Consultant
under this Agreement are not expected to create an interest with any person, entity, or third
party project that is or may be adverse to City’s interests. Consultant’s failure to provide a
written notice and disclosure of the information as set forth in this Section constitute a
material breach of this Agreement.
5.25 Data Confidentiality and Data Security. As used in the Agreement, "data" means all
information, whether written or verbal, including plans, photographs, studies, investigations,
audits, analyses, samples, reports, calculations, internal memos, meeting minutes, data field
notes, work product, proposals, correspondence and any other similar documents or
information prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to Consultant or its subconsultants in
the performance of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all data, regardless of form,
including originals, images, and reproductions, prepared by, obtained by, or transmitted to
Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with Consultant’s or its subconsultant’s
performance of this Agreement is confidential and proprietary information belonging to City.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Consultant or its subconsultants must not
divulge data to any third party without City’s prior written consent. Consultant or its
subconsultants must not use the data for any purposes except to perform the services
required under this Agreement. These prohibitions do not apply to the following data
provided to Consultant or its subconsultants have first given the required notice to City: (a)
data which was known to Consultant or its subconsultants prior to its performance under this
Consultant or its subconsultants by a third party, who to the best of Consultant’s or its
subconsultants’ knowledge and belief, had the legal right to make such disclosure and
Consultant or its subconsultants are not otherwise required to hold such data in confidence;
or (c) data which is required to be disclosed by virtue of law, regulation, or court order, to
which Consultant or its subconsultants are subject. In the event Consultant or its
subconsultants are required or requested to disclose data to a third party, or any other
information to which Consultant or its subconsultants became privy as a result of any other
Agreement with City, Consultant must first notify City as set forth in this Section of the request
or demand for the data. Consultant or its subconsultants must give City sufficient facts so

Project Name: Integrated Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Master Plan

Rev. 9/30/25
Page 9
that City can be given an opportunity to first give its consent or take such action that City may
deem appropriate to protect such data or other information from disclosure. All data must
continue to be subject to the confidentiality agreements of this Agreement. Consultant or its
subconsultants assume all liability to maintain the confidentiality of the data in its possession
and agrees to compensate City if any of the provisions of this Section are violated by
Consultant, its employees, agents or subconsultants. Solely for the purposes of seeking
injunctive relief, it is agreed that a breach of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable
harm that justifies injunctive relief in court. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this
Section must be incorporated into all subagreements entered into by Consultant. A violation
of this Section may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice.
5.26 Personal Identifying Information-Data Security. Personal identifying information,
financial account information, or restricted City information, whether electronic format or
hard copy, must be secured and protected at all times by Consultant or its subconsultants. At
a minimum, Consultant or its subconsultants must encrypt or password-protect electronic
files. This includes data saved to laptop computers, computerized devices, or removable
storage devices. When personal identifying information, financial account information, or
restricted City information, regardless of its format, is no longer necessary, the information
must be redacted or destroyed through appropriate and secure methods that ensure the
information cannot be viewed, accessed, or reconstructed. In the event that data collected or
obtained by Consultant or its subconsultants in connection with this Agreement is believed
to have been compromised, Consultant or its subconsultants must immediately notify City
contact. Consultant agrees to reimburse City for any costs incurred by City to investigate
potential breaches of this data and, where applicable, the cost of notifying individuals who
may be impacted by the breach. Consultant agrees that the requirements of this Section must
be incorporated into all subcontracts entered into by Consultant. It is further agreed that a
violation of this Section must be deemed to cause irreparable harm that justifies injunctive
relief in court. A violation of this Section may result in immediate termination of this
Agreement without notice. The obligations of Consultant or its subconsultants under this
Section must survive the termination of this Agreement.
5.27 Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement is made under and must be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to the
conflicts or choice of law provisions thereof. Any action to enforce any provision of this
Agreement or to obtain any remedy with respect hereto must be brought in the courts
located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and for this purpose, each Party hereby expressly and
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.
5.28 Survival. All warranties, representations, and indemnifications by Consultant must
survive the completion or termination of this Agreement.
5.29 Modification. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, no supplement,
modification, or amendment of any term of this Agreement will be deemed binding or
effective unless in writing and signed by the Parties.
5.30 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application to any person or
circumstance may be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this

Task 200: Planning Framework
Engineer will develop a range of projections of water demands and wastewater flow rates using the data
received as part of this project and coupled other city initiatives (General Plan, drought planning, etc.).
Projections will be produced using the latest available vacant parcels, land use, large-planned
developments, and customer water use data. The data will be used to forecast growth projections for
each of the IMP planning periods. The IMP projections will be incorporated into the City’s water demand
projection dashboard (the dashboard was developed under a separate contract). The proposed tasks are
presented below.
Task 201. Water Demand Use Patterns and Projections
a. Engineer will collect and review available water demand use and patterns.
i. Water Production Data: Engineer will review available water production records
and system operating logs to determine historical average day demand (ADD),
maximum month demand (MMD), maximum day demand (MDD), and peak hour
Docusign Envelope ID: DB503729-2B8E-4D2B-B076-B4290038DF0A
WW2503.101 Chandler Integrated Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Master Plan | Page 3
demand (PHD) ratios for the entire system for the last 10 years depending on the
availability of data. Average day demand for summer and winter will be analyzed
to provide a comparison. Demand analysis and projections will be summarized
by pressure zone and Salt River Project (SRP) Member Land status.
ii. Historical Customer Demand Data (Per Capita/Land Use Type/Account
Demands): Engineer will review historical metered water sales records, as
available, to determine historic ADD and MMD per capita / land use type.
iii. Non-Revenue Water (NRW): Engineer will calculate historical NRW from the
production and customer consumption data as well as any NRW reports
prepared by the city.
iv. Peaking Factors: Engineer will calculate the monthly seasonal demand peaking
factor ratios to be used to peak system demands from ADD.
v. Diurnal Demand Patterns: Engineer will use archived SCADA data for flow and
tank level data from SCADA and/or other system operational records collected
by the city, including Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) data, as available.
The data will be analyzed to calculate diurnal demand patterns for the system
under the calibration period and system demand conditions to be used during
system capacity analyses and water quality/age simulations, respectively.
vi. Water Demand Projections: Engineer will prepare water demand projections for
each IMP planning period using the unit water demands developed from the
water billing and land use analysis which will be applied to the vacant parcel
shapefile. Large water user demands will be accounted for separately in the unit
water demand analysis. Projections for large water users will be developed in
collaboration with the city based on factors specific to each user. Water demand
forecasts will be prepared by pressure zone and On-Project / Off-Project / Non-
Member service areas.
Task 202. Wastewater Flow Analysis
a. Engineer will collect and review available data on wastewater flows and patterns.
i. Flow Monitoring Plan: Engineer will develop a wastewater collection system flow
monitoring plan for the purposes of developing unit wastewater flows,
developing diurnal flow patterns, and calibrating the wastewater hydraulic model
for dry weather conditions. The flow monitoring plan will include a GIS system-
wide map showing the proposed manholes to place flow monitoring equipment,
individual maps showing the locations of the flow monitoring manholes or sewer
structures, and a table summarizing the pipe diameters and estimated depths of
the flow monitoring manholes.
ii. Engineer will work with the city to identify up to five (5) locations for temporary
flow monitoring and data collection throughout the wastewater collection system
for up to six (6) weeks, in conjunction with data collected by the city’s recently
installed flow meters, to use for model verification. Unit prices (dollars per meter
per month or per week, as appropriate) will be provided in the budget for
subsequent authorization by the city if more than five (5) flow monitoring
locations are required and/or if a longer period is required to collect sufficient
data for model calibration. Engineer will retain a subcontractor to provide,
calibrate, install, and retrieve the flow meters. The city will inspect the proposed
manholes for flow monitoring and provide cleaning prior to metering, if required.

WW2503.101 Chandler Integrated Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Master Plan | Page 4
Flow monitoring by a third party up to $50,000 is included in the original scope.
Additionally flow monitoring above and below the limit included in the scope will
be completed under an allowance or separate scope item.
iii. Engineer will prepare a system flow mass balance using the flow monitoring data
and accounting for the upstream – downstream relationships between basins.
Flow monitoring data will be reviewed with city staff in a progress meeting prior
to incorporating it into the unit wastewater flow calculations or hydraulic model
calibration.
iv. Historical Wastewater Unit Rates: Flow data collected during the previous task
will be used in conjunction with SCADA data for lift station and treatment plant
flows to develop the existing system flow generation values. Engineer will
incorporate the population estimates and land use data to develop unit
wastewater flows on a per-capita and per-acre basis in terms of average dry
weather flow (ADWF) depending on the results of the analysis (basis used will be
identified and noted). As a check on wastewater flow estimates, geocoded water
billing records will be adjusted by a factor to also calculate average daily
wastewater flows. The final unit wastewater flow factors may be based on a
combination of per-capita and per-acre values and may also vary regionally,
depending on the outcome of the analysis. Unit flow factors for large water
users/industrial customers may be developed using data from private sewer flow
meters, if available. The final unit wastewater flow factors will be established in
collaboration with the city.
v. Wet Weather Flow Factors: Wet weather peaking factors will be selected from
previous studies or data summaries for use in the system modeling and analysis
and confirmed through collaboration with the city.
vi. Wastewater Flow Projections: Engineer will prepare wastewater flow projections
for each planning year using the unit wastewater flows and wastewater return
rates developed from the water billing and wastewater collection system flow
monitoring data. Wastewater flow forecasts will be prepared by collection
system sub-basin and water reclamation facility service area. Wastewater flow
estimates for areas currently served by septic areas using metered sales and
wastewater return rates. Wastewater flows will include a gallon per capita per
day (gpcd) value to provide the city with a number to compare to previous
studies and reports. The unit wastewater flows and/or wastewater return rates to
be used in the projections will be determined through discussions with the city
and agreement on the approach to apply for the IMP.
Task 203. Reclaimed Flow Analysis
a. Engineer will develop reclaimed water flow projections for each plant based on the water
demand and wastewater flow projections and an estimate of the portion of wastewater
that becomes reclaimed water.
b. Engineer will review the city’s historical reclaimed water generation rates throughout the
year. Engineer will quantify the amount of reclaimed water that will need to be managed
seasonally (summer versus winter) through recharge or direct reuse for each planning
period. This analysis will include reclaimed water distribution system customer demands
and other end uses including deliveries through the Reclaimed Water Interconnect
Facility (RWIF).

a. Engineer will summarize the city’s water demands for each of the planning years and
compare them to available supplies for normal conditions and up to three (3) dry-year
conditions (i.e. 50% CAP allocation cut for 2025 and 2050, etc.). Engineer and city will
collaborate to define dry years (i.e., frequency of occurrence, probable impacts to surface
water allocations, etc.). This may include dry year assumptions for CAP or SRP supplies
or both. The available supplies will be finalized through an iterative process with Task
506. Engineer will conduct cost/benefit for alternative portfolios (i.e., reclaimed water,
groundwater, SRP, CAP and other sources). This task will be developed concurrently with
the wastewater analysis. It will be finalized as part of the overall integrated IMP which will
optimize the various water resources components, including wastewater and reclaimed
water.
Task 303. Water Supply Alternatives
a. Engineer will identify potential water acquisition opportunities that may be beneficial for
the City to explore. This analysis will characterize the available opportunities in a
narrative format, anticipated quantities of water supplies that could be obtained, a
discussion of the comparative capital and operations and maintenance costs, and
whether the opportunity represents a temporary supply (i.e., a lease) versus a permanent
source of supply. This does not include discussion or coordination with other entities
(tribes, third-parties, regulatory agencies, etc.) and will be presented in narrative format.
Infrastructure requirements will also be identified at a conceptual level.

and to identify future capital improvements for system expansion. If review of the
hydraulic model indicates that the model is reflective of existing system conditions,
funds allocated to this task may be reallocated to other tasks or allowance.
b. If the model review indicates deficiencies the following updates will be performed:
i. Incomplete pipe network - Utilize Client GIS and available digital elevation data to
update pipeline network
ii. Incomplete water production or remote facility representation - Utilize Client as-
built drawings and other records to update facilities
iii. Outdated demand allocation - Utilize Client customer billing and production
records to allocate customer demand
iv. System Operation not representative of current and or anticipated operations -
Incorporate pump and valve controls/settings based on information obtained
from Operations
Task 402. Water System Performance Criteria
a. Engineer will obtain and review existing water system performance, water quality, and
operational criteria, including water storage requirements, pump station requirements,
peaking factors, master planning fire flow volumes and durations, and distribution
system pressure and velocity requirements. Reliability and redundancy criteria for
facilities will also be developed. Engineer will meet with city staff to review proposed
criteria and arrive at a consensus on system performance criteria. These criteria will
serve as the basis for performance evaluations and infrastructure planning.
Task 403. Water Model Hydraulic Model Calibration
a. Model Calibration Plan – Engineer will develop a peak demand 24-hour EPS model
calibration plan including identification of needed system operations data (i.e., SCADA
data and remote pressure monitoring locations) and duration of data collection.
Engineer will compile the data and use the data for model calibration. The calibration
plan will utilize hydraulic calibration only (not based on water quality).
b. Demand Allocation. Engineer will update the model demands based on most current
demand analysis and NRW percentages evenly distributed across the system. Engineer
will review available AMI data available and will utilize app
c. Model Calibration. Engineer will calibrate the hydraulic model using a 24-hour extended
period simulation (EPS). The model results will be compared to the field data and
appropriate adjustments to model input parameters will be made to make certain the
model simulates actual system conditions within reasonable accuracy tolerances for
system planning purposes. The calibration period will be limited to the availability and
time of the field data collection. For areas of the system where the modeled output is
significantly different than the SCADA data, Engineer will attempt to adjust appropriate
model input parameters to improve the correlation. Any remaining areas with significant
discrepancies, as deemed by city and Engineer, will be documented with possible
reasons for the discrepancy. If it is determined after, discussions with the city, that any
of these discrepancy areas could adversely impact the model results for the purposes of
this master plan project, Engineer will provide the city with recommended additional
system data collection and/or field testing that would be needed to improve the model
calibration in these areas. If installation of temporary pressure monitoring is deemed
necessary, it will be completed as part of an allowance.

production facilities (wells, WTPs, pumps and reservoirs) can be utilized to meet the
updated demands. Production plans, consisting of seasonal curves indicating the
quantity (rate) of water to be produced at each facility and the way water is to be moved
from zone to zone and on/off project under Max Day and canal outage conditions. These
curves and plots become the guide for setting up all water model runs as well as a record
for future modelers. Production Plans will be developed for existing, buildout and two
intermediate years identified in Phase 200.
b. Capacity Evaluation. Engineer will review the model results to compare with existing
infrastructure capacity to identify any shortcomings as well as identify where the city has
surplus capacity available to facilitate high-density development or redevelopment.

spreadsheet capacity assessments of the supply (surface water and
groundwater), storage, and pumping facilities for each planning year to evaluate
the adequacy of existing facilities and to identify any deficiencies in capacity
based on the performance criteria. Additional assessments will be completed in
following tasks to identify any portion of the system that may not have sufficient
supply, storage or pumping capacity available due to hydraulic limitations in the
distribution system.
ii. Well Supply Planning – Engineer will review existing well and groundwater related
data and incorporate assessment of historical and current well capacity volumes
for existing wells into the evaluation of well supply needs required through
buildout. Engineer will provide assessment of installed versus permitted
capacity
iii. MDD 24-hour EPS Capacity: Using the calibrated hydraulic model, Engineer will
perform hydraulic system analyses to evaluate the distribution system
performance and identify potential improvements under the moderate MDD
system conditions using 24-hour EPS for each planning year. Demand allocation
for each planning year will be based on the spatial distribution determined in
Task 200. The EPS analyses will encompass and assess the peak hour and
minimum hour (storage replenishment) within the MDD scenario. The system
analyses will evaluate the effectiveness and adequacy of the distribution system
to meet the level of service criteria established in conjunction with the city.
Engineer will identify required improvements, either capital or operational, to
improve the existing level of service for the moderate growth conditions.
Engineer will prepare graphics and/or tabular exhibits of the model output for

1.
General.
1.1 At the same time as execution of this Agreement, Consultant must furnish City a certificate
of insurance on a standard insurance industry ACORD form. The ACORD form must be
issued by an insurance company authorized to transact business in the State of Arizona
possessing a current A.M. Best, Inc. rating of A-7, or better and legally authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona with policies and forms satisfactory to City. Provided,
however, the A.M. Best rating requirement will not be deemed to apply to required Workers’
Compensation coverage.
1.2 Consultant and any of its subconsultants must procure and maintain, until all of their
obligations have been discharged, including any warranty periods under this Agreement are
satisfied, the insurances set forth below.
1.3 The insurance requirements set forth below are minimum requirements for this Agreement
and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Agreement.
1.4 City in no way warrants that the minimum insurance limits contained in this Agreement are
sufficient to protect Consultant from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of
the Agreement services under this Agreement by Consultant, its agents, representatives,
employees, subconsultants, and Consultant is free to purchase any additional insurance as
may be determined necessary.
1.5 Failure to demand evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency will not relieve Consultant from,
nor will it be considered a waiver of its obligation to maintain the required insurance at all
times during the performance of this Agreement.
1.6 Use of subconsultants: If any work is subcontracted in any way, Consultant must execute a
written Agreement with subconsultant containing the same Indemnification Clause and
Insurance Requirements as City requires of Consultant in this Agreement. Consultant is
responsible for executing the Agreement with the subconsultant and obtaining Certificates
of Insurance and verifying the insurance requirements.
2.
Minimum Scope and Limits of Insurance. Consultant must provide coverage with limits of
liability not less than those stated below.
2.1 Professional Liability. If the Agreement is the subject of any professional services or work
performed by Consultant, or if Consultant engages in any professional services or work
adjunct or residual to performing the work under this Agreement, Consultant must maintain
Professional Liability insurance covering errors and omissions arising out of the work or
services performed by Consultant, or anyone employed by Consultant, or anyone whose
acts, mistakes, errors and omissions Consultant is legally liable, with a liability limit of
$1,000,000 each claim and $2,000,000 all claims. In the event the Professional Liability
insurance policy is written on a “claims made” basis, coverage must extend for 3 years past

completion and acceptance of the work or services, and Consultant, or its selected Design

effect. The Design Professional must annually submit Certificates of Insurance citing that the
applicable coverage is in force and contains the required provisions for a 3 year period.
2.2 Commercial General Liability-Occurrence Form. Consultant must maintain “occurrence” form
Commercial General Liability insurance with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 for each
occurrence, $4,000,000 aggregate. Said insurance must also include coverage for products
and completed operations, independent contractors, personal injury and advertising injury.
If any Excess insurance is utilized to fulfill the requirements of this paragraph, the Excess
insurance must be “follow form” equal or broader in coverage scope than underlying
insurance.
2.3 Automobile Liability-Any Auto or Owned, Hired and Non-Owned Vehicles
Vehicle Liability: Consultant must maintain Business/Automobile Liability insurance with a
limit of $1,000,000 each accident on Consultant owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles
assigned to or used in the performance of Consultant’s work or services under this
Agreement. If any Excess or Umbrella insurance is utilized to fulfill the requirements of this
paragraph, the Excess or Umbrella insurance must be “follow form” equal or broader in
coverage scope than underlying insurance.
2.4 Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance: Consultant must maintain Workers
Compensation insurance to cover obligations imposed by federal and state statutes having
jurisdiction of Consultant employees engaged in the performance of work or services under
this Agreement and must also maintain Employers’ Liability insurance of not less than
$1,000,000 for each accident and $1,000,000 disease for each employee.

agents, employees, and volunteers.
3.1.1. Consultant’s insurance must contain broad form contractual liability coverage.
3.1.2. Consultant’s insurance coverage must be primary insurance with respect to City, its
officers, officials, agents, and employees. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained
by City, its officers, officials, agents, and employees will be in excess of the coverage
provided by Consultant and must not contribute to it.
3.1.3. Consultant’s insurance must apply separately to each insured against whom claim is
made or suit is brought, except with respect to the limits of the insurer's liability.
3.1.4. Coverage provided by Consultant must not be limited to the liability assumed under

Certificate of Insurance evidencing Commercial General Liability insurance during this
3-year period containing all the Agreement insurance requirements, including
naming City of Chandler, its agents, representatives, officers, directors, officials and
employees as Additional Insured as required.
3.1.7. If a Certificate of Insurance is submitted as verification of coverage, City will
reasonably rely upon the Certificate of Insurance as evidence of coverage, but this
acceptance and reliance will not waive or alter in any way the insurance requirements
or obligations of this Agreement.
3.2. Insurance Cancellation During Term of Agreement.
3.2.1. If any of the required policies expire during the life of this Agreement, Consultant
must forward renewal or replacement Certificates to City within 10 days after the
renewal date containing all the required insurance provisions.
3.2.2. Each insurance policy required by the insurance provisions of this Agreement must

given. Such notice must be sent directly to Chandler Law-Risk Management
Department, Post Office Box 4008, Mailstop 628, Chandler, Arizona 85225. If any
insurance company refuses to provide the required notice, Consultant or its
insurance broker must notify City of any cancellation, suspension, non-renewal of any

Re:
Proposal for City of Chandler Area of Hydrologic Impact at a Recharge Facility
Dear Ms. Thigpen,
Spheros Environmental (Spheros) is pleased to submit the requested Scope of Services and Fee
Estimate for Black & Veatch (BV) to conduct hydrologic modeling at a City of Chandler recharge
facility to determine the Area of Hydrologic Impact (AOHI). The primary objective of this analysis is to
model the size of the AOHI and determine if existing wells fall within its boundary to recover banked
recharge supplies. To prepare this Scope of Services and Fee Estimate, Spheros has reviewed the
project objectives outlined by BV and the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR)
substantive policy statement regarding the area of impact for a recovery well. We have detailed the
Scope of Services and our underlying assumptions in the following sections. Spheros can begin the
proposed services as soon as we receive authorization to proceed.
I.
Project Background
Spheros understands that BV is seeking support to model the AOHI for a City of Chandler recharge
facility, however they hold four underground storage facility (USF) permits. Spheros will assess
various modeling scenarios to establish an AOHI that encompasses a range of existing and proposed
wells that may be used for recovery of banked recharge credits. Spheros will gather the required data
for the modeling from ADWR to carry out the scenarios. This scope includes the pre-application
meeting with ADWR, AOHI modeling scenarios, a technical memorandum presenting the results to
BV, and the hydrologic study and permit application in support of future recovery well application
submittals to ADWR, if requested. This scope is outlined to conduct the work at one of the City of
Chandler USFs. If more than one AOHI analysis is desired, this scope and approximately 75 percent of
the cost estimate can be applied to subsequent USFs.
Spheros proposes the following Scope of Services:

Scope of Services
Task Series 1: Project Management
This task series involves activities related to project management, administration, team meetings, and
quality management.
Task 1.1:
Project Administration
This task involves the administration of Spheros’ agreement with BV. Spheros will submit monthly
invoices and progress reports that provide a summary of billing period activities and progress to
date. Project Administration also includes quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) of all
deliverables. A Senior Hydrogeologist will be assigned as a QA/QC Manager for the duration of the
project and will be responsible for the quality control and assurance throughout the execution of the
project tasks, alongside the Project Manager.
Task 1.2:
Project Team Meetings
Spheros will attend a kick-off meeting/workshop with the project team. The meeting is assumed to
be one hour in length. In addition, Spheros will attend progress meetings with the project team and
a Pre-Application Meeting with ADWR. Progress meetings are assumed to be up to one hour in
length and held via teleconference. Spheros will coordinate with the project team to assist in the
preparation of the agenda, presentation materials, and meeting summaries, as needed.
Task Series 2: AOHI Modeling
Spheros conduct AOHI modeling for the recharge facility in a systematic and phased manner. The
process will involve the following steps:
1. Review of Existing Data: Spheros will examine the available data related to the recharge facility
and the hydrologic characteristics. This will include reviewing previous studies, reports, and
any relevant information provided by BV and City of Chandler.
2. Preparation and Execution of Modeling Scenarios: Based on the available data, Spheros will
develop various modeling scenarios for the recharge facility and execute these scenarios using
groundwater modeling software. This will involve simulating the behavior of the AOHI under
different conditions.

● ● ● Proposal For City Of Chandler Area Of Hydrologic Impact At A Recharge Facility
Spheros Environmental | www.spherosenv.com | Page 3
Task 2.1:
Review of Existing Data
This Task 2.1 will include a comprehensive review of the ADWR groundwater flow model for the
Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA). Spheros will closely collaborate with ADWR's modeling
group to ensure accurate and up-to-date information is incorporated into our modeling efforts. This
will include discussions and coordination to obtain the necessary data related to pumping and
recharge rates, as well as the accumulation of long-term storage credits. Spheros will conduct a
thorough review and consideration of any existing previously submitted applications related to the
project. This review will encompass examining the content and findings of these applications,
including any relevant reports or studies that have been previously submitted.
Task 2.2:
Preparation and Execution of Modeling Scenarios
Task 2.2 will include coordination with BV to define and model various scenarios for the recharge
facility that encompass existing and proposed potable and reclaimed wells. Spheros will collaborate
with BV to define the specific parameters and characteristics of these scenarios. This will include
determining the various factors such as recharge rates, Long Term Storage Credit (LTSC) volumes,
and the locations of both existing and proposed potable and reclaimed wells.
Once the scenarios have been established, Spheros will proceed with the hydrologic modeling to
simulate the AOHI under these conditions.
Task Series 3: Results Briefing and Technical Memorandum
Following completion of the desktop review and modeling scenarios, Spheros will prepare a brief
technical memorandum to present the results of the modeling scenarios to BV for next steps.
Task 3.1:
Technical Memorandum
The findings will be compiled and presented in a concise technical memorandum. This memorandum
will serve as a comprehensive summary of the results obtained from the hydrologic modeling and
analysis conducted in this Scope of Services.
The technical memorandum will include the key outcomes, insights, and conclusions derived from the
modeling scenarios. It will present the implications and potential impacts of the various configurations
and operations of the recharge facility, as well as the locations and functioning of potable and
reclaimed wells within the AOHI.

● ● ● Proposal For City Of Chandler Area Of Hydrologic Impact At A Recharge Facility
Spheros Environmental | www.spherosenv.com | Page 4
Task 3.2:
Executive Briefing
Spheros will present the results of the study to BV and discuss next steps for additional modeling
scenarios or recovery well permitting. The executive briefing is assumed to be approximately one hour
and held via teleconference.
Task Series 4: ADWR Hydrologic Study and Permit Application
Contingent on the results of the AOHI modeling scenarios, and at BV’s request, this task will be used
to prepare the application report and supporting documentation to ADWR to apply for recovery well
permits and/or to run additional modeling scenarios.
Task 4.1:
Preparation of Hydrologic Study
Spheros will prepare a hydrologic study to document the AOHI modeling conducted in support of City
of Chandler’s application for recovery well permits. The study methodology will follow the Substantive
Policy Statement for Recovery Well Area of Impact (RW1) issued by the ADWR on August 21, 2021. The
purpose of the AOHI study is to project the AOHI at the recharge facility where City of Chandler stores
water to determine which wells may be permitted as recovery wells within an AOHI.
Task 4.2:
Preparation of Application Documents
Spheros will prepare the appropriate application documents to be submitted to ADWR for a recovery
well permit. This includes the compilation of detailed documentation to ensure compliance with
regulatory standards to facilitate a smooth application review. Additionally, the scope of this task
encompasses Spheros to respond to any clarifying questions from ADWR.
III.
Assumptions
Spheros has made assumptions in order to prepare this Scope of Services and Fee Estimate. These
assumptions are listed below.
•
One project kick-off meeting will be held with the project team.
•
BV or City of Chandler will be responsible for paying for any ADWR application fees, should
a recovery well permit be prepared under Task 4.
•
The Fee Estimate has been developed using Spheros Standard 2026 rates.
•
If any additional project management or scope of services is required, Spheros will revise
this Scope of Services and Fee Estimate accordingly.

thereafter terminate this Agreement upon twenty (20) days’ written
notice.
XVIII. NOTICE. Any notice to be given hereunder by either Party
to the other, shall be in writing and addressed to the Parties at the
addresses set forth in the Order Confirmation or to such other
address that may be designated by the receiving Party in writing.
All notices shall be deemed given when delivered (a) in person, (b)
by certified mail, return receipt requested, (c) by commercial
courier that provides a receipt of delivery, or (d) by email when the
receiving Party acknowledges receipt.
XIX. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Either Party may
terminate all or part of this Agreement for its convenience and
without cause upon giving the other Party not less than thirty (30)
days written notice. In such event, Spheros Environmental shall be
compensated for the Services competently performed up to and
including the date of termination.
XX. TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT. Either Party may terminate
this Agreement for cause upon giving the other Party not less than
ten (10) days written notice for any of the following reasons: (a)
substantial failure by the other Party to perform in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and through no fault of the
terminating Party, including lack of payment by Client; (b)
assignment of this Agreement or transfer of the project by either
Party to any other entity without prior written consent of the other
Party; (c) suspension of the project or of the Services for more than
ninety (90) days, consecutive or in the aggregate; (d) material
changes in the conditions under which this Agreement was entered
into, the Services or the nature of the project, and the failure of the
Parties to reach agreement on the compensation; or (e) Client
becomes insolvent or files a petition for bankruptcy. Either Party
shall have a period of ten (10) business days from the notice of
noncompliance and threatened termination to cure or correct the
default. If this Agreement is terminated following default by
Spheros Environmental, Client is relieved of any unpaid payment
obligations owed Spheros Environmental for services performed
after the default. If this Agreement is terminated following default
by Client, Client shall be liable to Spheros Environmental for all
unpaid compensation for Services, as well as any collection fees
associated with the collection of said compensation including but
not limited to, attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other related
expenses up to and including the termination date.
XXI. ASSIGNMENT. Client shall not assign this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Spheros Environmental. Any
purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section XXI
is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves Client of any
of its obligations under this Agreement.
XXII. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION. The Parties hereby incorporate
the requirements of 41 C.F.R. § 60-1.4(a) and 29 C.F.R. § 471,
Appendix A to Subpart A, if applicable. Spheros Environmental and
Client shall also abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60-300.5(a)
and 41 CFR 60-741.5(a), if applicable. These regulations prohibit
discrimination against qualified protected veterans and qualified
individuals with disabilities and require affirmative action by
covered prime contractors and subcontractors to employ and
advance in employment qualified protected veterans and qualified
individuals with disabilities.
XXIII. ENFORCEMENT AND WAIVER. The failure of either Party
in any one or more instances to insist upon strict performance of
any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall not be
construed as a waiver of the right to assert any such terms and
provisions on any future occasion or of damages caused thereby.
XXIV. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be
administered and interpreted under the laws of the State of
Colorado without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law
provision. Subject to Section XXVIII, any legal suit, action, or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or
the courts of the State of Colorado, and each Party irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit,
action, or proceeding.
XXV. SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Agreement,
but rather the entire Agreement shall be construed as if not
containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or
provisions, and the rights and obligations of the Party shall be
construed and enforced accordingly, to effectuate the essential
intent and purposes of this Agreement.
XXVI. NONEXCLUSIVE NATURE. This Agreement is not exclusive.

deliverables to others. Client makes no representations or

warranties as to a minimum or maximum procurement of services

should apply beyond their terms, will remain in force after any
termination or expiration of this Agreement including, but not
limited to, the following provisions: Confidentiality, Disputes,
Compensation, Ownership of Documents, Insurance, and Survival.
XXVIII. DISPUTES. In an effort to resolve any conflicts that may
arise, Client and Spheros Environmental agree to resolve any claims
or disputes related to this Agreement, in an amicable, professional,
and expeditious manner so as to avoid unnecessary disruptions
and delays to the Services. For any claim or dispute the Parties shall
first attempt to resolve such claim or dispute through discussions
between Client’s and Spheros Environmental’s designated
representatives. If any such claim or dispute is not resolved through
such discussions, the responsible executive of each Party, who shall
possess the authority to resolve such matter, shall attempt to
resolve such claim or dispute. Either Party may initiate discussions
by written notice to the other Party setting forth the subject of the
claim or dispute and the resolution sought. The Party in receipt of
such notice shall respond within five (5) business days with a
written statement of its position on, and recommended solution to,
the claim or dispute. If the claim or dispute is not resolved by this
exchange of correspondence, then the responsible senior
executives of each Party shall meet at a mutually agreeable time
and place within ten (10) business days from the Party’s response
in an attempt to resolve the claim or dispute. Any claims or disputes
between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
which have not been resolved in accordance with the procedures
set forth in this Section XXVIII shall be submitted to nonbinding
mediation unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise. Each Party
shall pay for its own costs and one-half the cost of a mutually
acceptable mediator. In the event mediation is not successful, the
claims or disputes between the Parties shall subject to litigation in
a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Colorado. The
Parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of said
courts and waive any and all defenses of forum non conveniens,
improper venue, or lack of personal jurisdiction.
