ATTACHMENT A
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
Evaluation and Design of Corrosion Inhibitor Chemical Feed System Project
The goal of this project is two-fold : 1) provide protection for the OWNER 's water distribution
system, especially the older unlined cast iron pipe, and 2) minimize complaints associated with
occasional high manganese levels in the w at er supply.
The OWNER has requested that several ta sks be addressed with this project:
• Develop and conduct a bench-scale testing program to produce data for recommendations
on corrosion inhibitor se lection and associated dosages for two different water sources, a
"summer" supply and a "winter" supply.
• Provide design and c onstruction management services for the installation of a new
chemical feed system for corrosion i nhi bitor at the Allen Plant.
• Provide design and con struction management services for establishing a corrosion
monitoring network within the OWNER's water distribution system .
The Detailed Scope of Work consists of four principal tasks, some of which are further
subdivided into subtasks . The design tasks are concurrent and follow the completion of the
bench-scale work of Task 1.0 .
Task 1.0 -Develop and Conduct Bench-scale Testing Program
This scope element is composed of two separate subtasks. It is generally recognized that the
orthophosphate compounds will deposit a protective coating on pipe surfaces , while the
polyphosphate compounds complex and sequester dissolved iron and manganese in the water.
Most manufacturers produce compounds th at are a blend of these products so that it is not
necessary to operate two separate feed systems . This bench-scale test program will be based on
the use of a blended compound that is capable of meeting both objectives simultaneously .
Subtask 1.1 -Determine Appropriate Dosage for Producing Protective Coating. An
experimental procedure will be used to screen potential products and bracket appropriate dosages
at the bench-scale level.
An initial screening of up to six corrosion inhibitor products will be conducted. At a minimum,
products manufactured by Nalco Chemical Co ., Calgon Corp., and Stiles-Kem Div. -Met-Pro
Corp. will be used for this evaluation . This screening will consist of a series of short immersion
periods, followed by the determination of the iron concentration in the test solution. The
screening will start with solutions of inhibitor product at a concentration of 2 mg/L. Immersion
periods will be 24 to 48 hrs duration. Both total and dissolved iron concentrations will be
determined as an indicator of the effectiveness of the inhibitors for minimizing corrosion and for
A -1
sequestering iron. Iron analyses will be conducted in the OWNER's laboratory. After each
successful test, the inhibitor concentrations will be reduced by 0 .5 mg/L and the screening
procedure run again . The screening will continue until an apparent best selection of two to three
inhibitors can be identified for further testing .
Based on the results of the in itial screening work, up to three different products will be selected
for further screening and dosage evaluation work. The bench-scale test procedure will be as
described below.
a) Coupons of gray cast iron that are representative of the older portions of the OWNER's
distribution system will be obtained and prepared in accordance with ASTM D 2688 and
ASTM G 1. The testing laboratory that will conduct the corrosion loss measurements will
supply the coupons.
b) Supplies of the OWNER's "summer" water supply , with set dosages of corrosion inhibiting
chemical (one experimental set-up for each selected product), will be prepared in two to five-
gallon lots. Dosages will be set to cover the expected range for this application. This
experimental procedure is based on an assumption of three different doses per chemical , plus
one control (untreated) source. Therefore , a total of ten different supplies will be prepared
for the bench-scale apparatus.
c) The pipe material coupons will be suspended in beakers with side outlet nipple; one coupon
for each supply prepared per 1.1.b. The supply sources will be delivered into the beakers via
tubing with flow control valves. Therefore, each supply will mimic a flowing water
condition. Each beaker will be continuously mixed with a magnetic stirrer.
d) The supply carboys will be replenished as necessary to maintain a continuous flow to the
experimental beakers. The supplies will be monitored and replenished by OWNER
personnel. Residual iron levels (both total and dissolved) in each exhausted supply will be
determined in the OWNER's l aboratory. Total amounts of iron will be calculated, based on
concentration and volume measurements.
e) After a period of six weeks , the coupons will be extracted and evaluated. Coupons will be
tested for material loss and corrosion production in according with ASTM D 2688. Each
coupon will also be visually assessed with OWNER personnel to determine the effectiveness
of the associated inhibitor dosage in controlling corrosion.
f) When a sufficient supply is available, the bench-scale tests will be repeated for a second raw
water source, the OWNER's "winter" supply.
g) MW personnel will compile the results of the bench-scale evaluation and prepare a
recommendation for corrosion inhibitor selection based on the results of both the coupon and
total iron concentrations analyses. The recommendation will be presented in the form of a
letter report.
The estimated fee for Subtask 1.1 is $17,431.
A -2
Subtask 1.2 -Determine Appropriate Dosage for Sequestering Manganese Ex cursions in
the OWNER's Distribution System. An experimental procedure will be used to screen
potential products and bracket appropriate dosages at the bench-scale level. Up to three different
products will be selected for further screening and dosage evaluation work. The three products
selected for Subtask 1.1 will be used for th is evaluation . The bench-scale test procedure will be
as described below . This procedure will be conducted in parallel with Subtask 1.1.
a) A supply of the OWNER 's water, with representative manganese content will be collected
from the Allen Plant treated water line . OWNER forces will collect the sample . Should it
not be possible to collect a representati ve sample, a fabricated supply will be prepared with
OWNER water and manganese chloride to simulate the OWNER's problematic supply.
b ) A series of jar tests will be conducted to assess the ability of each product to complex the
manganese. Determinations will be based on visual, colorimeter assessments, and total
manganese levels in the treated water. A variety of dosages will be used to ensure that the
appropriate range is selected.
c) MW personnel will compile the re sults of the jar test evaluation and prepare a
recommendation for seques tering agent selection . The recommendation will be presented in
the form of a letter report.
The estimated fee for Subtask 1.2 is $6,237.
Task 2.0 -Provide Design Services for a New Alle n P la n t Chemical Feed System
The results of Subtasks 1.1 and 1.2 will serv e as the basis for the design of a permanent chemical
feed system at the Allen WTP. The scope of design will consist of the following elements.
a) Evaluate potential points within the fin ished water flow stream for feeding the selected
corrosion inhibitor. Selection of the primary and potential secondary locations will account
for the split filtered water effluent system and proximity to the chlorine application point.
b ) A brief predesign report will be produced and presented in the form of a technical
memorandum. The predesign report will document final design criteria, and include a
preliminary process and instrumentation diagram and conceptual layouts. The new system
will be located in the filter gallery and will be based on the use of peristaltic metering pumps.
Upon acceptance of the predesign report , final drawing production will be begun .
c) Prepare construction documents for the chemical storage, feed , and transport components of
the new system. The new feed system will be publicly bid. Construction documents will
consist of discipline drawings (mechani cal , electrical , and instrumentation/control), and
related technical and contract specifications. It is assumed that no civil , architectural, or
structural modifications will be necessary to accommodate the system .
d) Provide two copies of the complete set of engineering calculations prepared for the design of
the Allen Plant Corrosion Inhibitor Chemic al Feed System.
The estimated fee for Task 2 .0 is $38,972.
A -3
Task 3.0 -Provide Design Services for a Corrosion Monitoring System within the
Englewood Distribution Network.
A permanent corrosion monito ring network will be established within the OWNER's water
distribution system. The network will consist of a series of test and sampling stations. The
stations will be used for placin g and retrieving test coupons throughout the network, and for
drawing water samples for inhi bitor concentration analyses. The scope of design will consist of
the following elements.
a) Meet with OWNER 's staff to establish the parameters for the testing network. Locations for
test stations will be determi ned . A conceptual model for the test stations will be reviewed
and configured for standard adaptation throughout the OWNER' s system.
b ) The results of the above me eting will be documented as the basis for implementation in a
small technical memorandum. The memorandum will document final implementation
criteria, locations, and a preliminary se rvicing and maintenance program for the monitoring
network.
c ) Prepare construction documents for the distribution system corrosion monitoring network.
The new network will be p u blicly bid. Construction documents will consist of discipline
drawings (civil, mechanical , electrical, and instrumentation/control), and related technical
and contract specifications. It is assumed that no architectural or structural modifications will
be necessary to accommodate the monitoring network.
d) Provide two copies of the complete set of engineering calculations prepared for the design of
the Englewood Distribution Network Corrosion Monitoring System.

STORM SEWER SYSTEM STUDY
April 26, 2000
The City of Englewood acquired the services of Muller Engineering Company, Inc. to
conduct an inventory study of the City's storm sewer system. The study evaluated the
structural integrity of the existing storm sewer system. The inventory was very beneficial
to determine the status of the existing storm sewer system. The storm sewer system is
comprised of primarily two types of pipe materials; either corrugated stee l or reinforced
concrete.
The results of the inventory indicated that the reinforced concrete systems appear to be in
sufficient shape to last for many more years with no observations indicating any need for
immediate maintenance. The corrugated steel systems were in various stages of
degradation. The evidence of corrosion in the corrugated steel systems should be a
concern to the City and warrants developing a long-term strategy to fund rehabilitation of
these systems.
There was approximately 17,000 lineal feet of corrugated steel storm sewers evaluated in
the inventory study. Of that amount, there is approximately 6,000 linear feet that is
anticipated to need repair within the next five years. The anticipated costs for this
rehabilitation is approximately $2 million dollars .
In conjunction with the inventory study, the City and Urban Drainage and Flood control
District sponsored an outfall systems planning report. The purpose of this report was to
verify the capacity of the existing storm sewer system and suggest locations for
additional storm sewer coverage. In addition, the study identified minor and potential
flooding locations and recommended solutions. In general, the study recommended
improvements to convey the two to five year storm events through the existing system
with additional or enlarged pipes, additional inlets, and through the use of detention
facilities.
The study indicates that there is approximate ly $15,500,000 in improvements required
including $500,000 for improvements to alleviate minor flooding areas. These minor
flooding area improvements will be performed with City labor at substantial savings.
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District will participate in funding these
improvements at a 50% rate, as funds are available.
