Contract for Design and Construction Phase Engineering Services
For the
Southwest Environmental Center Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion
A. DEFINITION OF PROJECT
The City of Pearland (City or Client) has requested that Carter & Burgess, Inc.
(Engineer) provide a contract for engineering services associated with the
expansion of the Southwest Environmental Center (SWEC) wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP). The design of the expansion is to be in accordance
with the Preliminary Engineering Report for Southwest Environmental Center
(SWEC) Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion and Proposed Ultraviolet
Disinfection Systems for Longwood and Barry Rose Wastewater Treatment
Plants, dated June 2005 and prepared by Carter & Burgess, Inc. The design is
to incorporate the recommendations made in the report in regards to the SWEC
plant. At this time no improvements are proposed for the Longwood or Barry
Rose WWTPs that were included as part of the report.
B. SCOPE OF SERVICES
a. Design Phase
In general the design of the plant expansion shall include the design of the
infrastructure, piping, electrical system and major plant components to
increase the capacity of the facility from 2.0 million gallons per day (MGD)
average daily flow (ADF) to a capacity of 6.0 MGD ADF. The proposed
design will only include the equipment installation to increase the capacity of
the facility from 2.0 MGD to 4.0 MGD. This is being done for the following
reasons:
· It is estimated that the full 6.0 MGD expansion will exceed the City's
proposed Capital Improvement Plan budget for the project.
· If growth occurs as projected, the City will need to start planning for an
expansion from 4.0 MGD to 6.0 MGD within two years of the completion
of construction on this project.
· By constructing all of the major plant components at one time the City can
recognize an economy of scale on the major structures.
· The future equipment installation can occur with minimal disturbance to
the plant.
· Equipment that is not needed immediately is not installed and sitting
unused.
The major components of the design shall include the following:
· Survey of the existing site to verify elevations of structures and locations
of existing improvements
· Geotechnical report to include recommendations for the design of the
new structures
· New plant lift station and modifications to the piping from the existing and
proposed lift station to the headworks
· New headworks with fine screening equipment
· Abandonment of the existing headworks
· Four (4) new SBR basins
· Modifications to the existing SBR basins to handle a 4Q peaking factor.
· Cloth disk media filter system
Page 1 of 4

SCADA system. The coordination of other plant components with the
SCADA system is not included.
The City has also requested the design of additional items not directly
associated with the capacity expansion to the treatment plant. These include:
· New administration building with the following items (included as an
alternate item only):
o 6 to 8 offices
o Administrative assistant area
o Male & female locker rooms / restrooms with changing facility and
showers for 15-20 male and 5-10 female employees.
o Storage room
o Conference room to accommodate approximately 15 people
o Break Room / Kitchen area to accommodate approximately 15 people
o Approximate 20' by 20' garage / maintenance area
· Architectural enclosure for the elevated headworks
· Brick fence and landscaping
b. BIDDING I CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The bidding and construction phase services shall include the following items:
· Reproduction and distribution of plans and specifications to contractors
· Conduct one pre-bid meeting at either Carter & Burgess offices or at a
location within the City of Pearland
