Hi Phil,

 

The changes you requested are attached. I have separated the map and plan sheets from the RFP.

 

I am hoping to post these on our website either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Jennifer,

 

I reviewed and have a couple comments and questions on the RFP:

 

1.  Page 1, second paragraph of section 2, Background. "The lesser of the

system flows from the south side of the City and drains along Highway 211/Main St, diverting at Bear Creek and onto the WWTP" should be revised to read as follows: "The lesser portion of thesystem flows from the south side of the City along Highway 211/Main St to a location near Bear Creek, where it turns and flows into the WWTP."

 

 

2.  Page 1, third paragraph of section 2, Background. "Whether" should be

changed to "weather".

 

3.  Page 1, bullets to third paragraph. How do we know the following? "A

significant portion of the previous I/I reduction work (grouting) work has exceeded its useful life and has failed." Where does this information come from? Do we have direct evidence that it "has failed"? I suggest rewriting this sentence to read, "Previous I/I reduction work (grouting) has now exceeded its design life."

 

4.  Page 1, bullets to third paragraph. How do we know the following?

"Facilities are generally hydraulically overloaded during winter storm events." Where does this conclusion come from? All facilities are hydraulically overloaded? I did not understand this to be the case. What about saying, "Certain locations within the collection system can become hydraulically overloaded during winter storm events" or something similar?

 

5.  WWTP line. It is not clear from the WWTP plan drawings or descriptions

that the Bear Creek outfall from Bear Creek up as close to or into the WWTP is included in the RFP. It needs to be. The Consent Decree requires us to inspect from the outfall up the outfall line.

 

Let me know if any of my comments don't make sense or you want to discuss.

Let me know what the answers are to the questions.

 

Thanks.

 

Phil
