ATTACHMENT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE
MASTER PLAN UPDATE
The wastewater system contains over 540 miles of main sewer and two WWTPs and serves
over 80,000 customers.
In 1996 the City of Fayetteville entered into contract with CH2MHill and RJN Group Inc. to
complete a Collection System Master Plan and Facility Plan for the wastewater system in the
City. The MASTER PLAN resulted in a recommended plan to eliminate wet weather overflows
and bring the system into compliance with USEPA and ADEQ regulations. The Plan included
construction of a new WWTP in the Illinois River Watershed, upgrading the existing Nolan
WWTP in the White River Watershed as well as construction of new pipelines and fift stations to
convey wastewater flow to the two WWTPs. The plan also recommended the abandonment of
several lift stations within the City. The recommendations in the Plan were implemented through
the WSIP which was mainly completed by 2008.
The changes made in the system as part of the WSIP resulted in the hydraulic model developed
in 1996 to now be outdated and does not provide the CITY the ability to evaluate the impact of
new developments on the capacity of the collection and treatment system. This Master Plan
Update Project will update the CITY'S hydraulic model to reflect the current conditions and will
also evaluate the impact of future growth within the CITY'S Service Area. The hydraulic model
will be provided to the City as part of the deliverables of the project.
RJN Group, Inc.'s responsibilities include field services, analysis, reporting and
assistance to the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE updating the Wastewater Collection System
Master Plan Update as describe below:
1. PROJECT ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT:
A. PROJECT ADMINISTRATION:
Prepare final schedule of work activities.
Meet with CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE staff on a periodic basis, to update previous
investigative work, to coordinate upcoming work, and to receive any input from
staff. Written documentation of each meeting will be provided. A total of four
meetings are anticipated.
Perform general consultation with appointed CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE
representative on an as -needed basis. Provide general overview opportunities
for CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE personnel for observing regularly scheduled field
inspection and testing activities.
Perform internal project control procedures on a monthly basis including
schedule and budget control, quality control review, and monthly progress
reports.
5/2/2012 A-1 RJN Group, Inc.
B. DATA MANAGEMENT
Obtain existing information provided by CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE including
maps, flow and rainfall records, facility as -built drawing, pump curves, overflow
occurrence records, CIP status and other pertinent information. CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE will provide ArcView shape files of the wastewater system and
all relevant reports and appendices necessary to prepare the MASTER PLAN
UPDATE. It is anticipated that CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE will provide RJN
detailed winter water usage data by service address. It is also anticipated that
the service addresses will readily match with geo-referenced address contained
in the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE GIS database.
WORKSHOP
A Workshop will be conducted with the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE staff to
establish the methodologies for updating the MASTER PLAN document.
Additional workshops will also be used to establish the criteria and assumptions
needed to perform the monitoring program, construct the hydraulic model,
calibrate the model, and develop any improvement alternatives. The workshop is
expected to cover:
— Goals and purpose for the selected monitoring locations
— Modeling criteria such as population estimates, loading estimates, dry and
weather calibration methodologies, model construction, model integration,
land use estimates, etc.
- Improvement alternatives based on design storm and model run strategies
— A total of three workshops are anticipated. These will occur at the milestones
of the following:
1. Model Development

2. FLOW MONITORING
The flow monitoring program is intended to collect both dry and wet weather flows for a
60 day period. The CITY'S existing permanent flow meter will be utilized during the
project and will be serviced and calibrated by RJN on a regular basis. The CITY'S
permanent meters will be supplemented by 20 RJN owned temporary flow meters.
A. SITE INVESTIGATION FOR TEMPORARY METERS
Review the collection system maps, operational information for the collection
system, and the proposed hydraulic model network to select strategic flow
monitoring locations. Flow site locations from the previous flow study will be
considered and adjusted, as necessary, to enable an evaluation of rehab
effectiveness, determine existing flow characteristics and calibrate the hydraulic
model.

Prepare and submit to CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE staff a map that shows the
proposed flow monitoring sites.
METER INSTALLATION
Prepare flow metering equipment for field installation conducting a series of
performance and calibration tests to verify equipment meets operating standards.
Inspect the key monitoring locations to determine their suitability for installation of
the equipment. If a location is identified as being unsuitable, then alternative
sites will be identified and evaluated to determine their suitability for installing the
selected equipment.
A sixty (60) day monitoring period is predicated on obtaining sufficient dry and
wet weather conditions that include at least four (4) storm events of varying
rainfall intensities in order to adequately calibrate the hydraulic model. 22 meters
(2 City meters and 20 RJN meters) are assumed in the cost proposal.
METER MAINTENANCE
Maintain the temporary flow meters over the monitoring period to achieve at least
a 90% uptime requirement. Routine service visits shall be performed on a bi-
weekly basis to include in-situ depth and velocity confirmations, downloading
recorded data, onsite analysis of the data, cleaning of the sensors, and replacing
any defective or deficient equipment. In the event telemetry is used, data shall
be downloaded and evaluated on a weekly basis. Data shall be reviewed within
24 hours of collection and field technicians will be dispatched no later than the
following working day to correct any issues identified. If any issues are noted with
the CITY S permanent meters between RJN's regularly scheduled site visits,
RJN will notify the CITY in order for their staff to service the meter(s).
METER REMOVAL (TEMPORARY METERS)
In the event the dry and wet weather criteria have been met by the end of the
scheduled monitoring period, recommend the removal of flow meters. If the
criteria has not been observed during the scheduled monitoring period, advise
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE to consider extending the monitoring period.
RAINFALL MONITORING
Acquire access to the existing CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE rain gauges and install
up to ten (10) supplemental gauges with 0.01 inch accuracy to satisfy coverage
requirements. Service rain gauges to obtain a continuous record of rainfall
conditions during the monitoring period.
F. FLOW ANALYSIS AND REPORTS
1) Edit raw data and develop final calibrated flow data for flow meters.
2) Develop depth, velocity and quantity hydrographs for dry and wet weather
flow conditions.
3) Analyze flow data for sub -drainage basins and develop average daily dry
weather flow diurnal curves and base flow peaking factors.

4) Determine peak inflow rate for selected rainfall events and determine
corresponding rainfall intensity for areas tributary to all flow monitoring
locations.
5) Determine peak infiltration rates during high groundwater conditions, if
possible.
6) Provide final calibrated flow meter data and flow components in a flow
monitoring Technical Memorandum.
3. DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE FLOWS
The 1997 MASTER PLAN was based on population data and flows developed by
CH2MHill and RJN Group Inc from data collected form the CITY and the Northwest
Arkansas Planning Commission. The Plan looked at two scenarios which were for the
Year 2020 and for ultimate build out of the 1996 planning area. The Master Plan update
will evaluate the service area population growth to 115,000 and also reevaluate the
ultimate buildout based on zoning and other land use changes that have occurred since
1996.The hydraulic analysis will also utilize the wastewater flows collected in Task 2 to
evaluate rehabilitation efforts since 1996. Specific tasks are as follows:
a. Review existing sewer service boundaries and compare to current aerial maps to
determine area acceptable for future development.
b. Interview CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE staff to determine plans for serving future
developing areas.
c. Obtain and review existing population data and future population projections from
the Northwest Arkansas Planning Commission..
d. Review City of Fayetteville zoning and land use mapping for identified
undeveloped areas.
e. Develop full build out population projections and estimated wastewater flows
based on current flow monitoring data and compare to projects contained in the
1997 Master Plan Report.
The development of future flows will allow the system to be modeled and alternatives
evaluated for full build out conditions.
4. HYDRAULIC MODEL UPDATE
The existing hydraulic model currently contains a hydraulic network for line segments
constructed prior to 1996 in the SWMM XP model. The SWMM model data will be
imported into the InfoWorks CS model software and will be updated to include sewer
segments constructed since 1996. For all sewer segments 10 inches in diameter and
larger as well as critical 6 and 8 inch diameter sewers, invert and rim elevations will be
obtained from the existing model or from existing record drawings. For the remaining
non critical 6 and 8 inch diameter lines, the rim and invert elevations will be estimated
utilizing the topographical data provided to RJN by the CITY. Specific task are as
follows:
a. Import existing model to the InfoWorks model software.
b. Obtain record drawings of all 10 inch diameter and larger sewers as well as
smaller diameter critical sewers constructed since 1996. Obtain invert elevations,
diameters, and length data and input to model database.
