January 12, 2001
BatkgroUBd and Objeetives
The City of W oodbum, OR (UCity") desires to, remove iron and manganese from its
drinking water source using a treatment process of potassium pennanganate oxidation
and pressure filtration. Removing iron and manganese will reduce staining of plumbing
fixtures and laundry, and provide customers with tap water. This scope of work describes
engineering services to better define treatment requirements and costs: 1) Basic Services
to conduct a Water Treatment Pilot Study and 2) Optional Additional Services to prepare
a pre-design report for each proposed water treatment plant.
Basic services to be provided by HDR Engineering ("Consultant") are to conduct a water
treatment pilot study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment method and to
establish design parameters for full-scale water treatment.
Additional services that may be performed at the discretion of the City include
development of pre-design reports for each proposed water treatment plant. The pre-
design reports will use infoJlIlation developed during pilot testing and actual plant site
conditions to refine plant designs and cost opinions for City budgeting. The pre-design
reports would be used to communicate water treatment intentions to State of Oregon
officials, to guide final design, and may facilitate infonnation exchange with citizens.
CompensadOD
Compensation for Consultant's Basic Services shall be on the basis of lump sum. The
amount of the lump sum is Twenty Eight Thousand Dollars ($28,000.00). Lump Sum
shall mean a fixed amount that shall be the total compensation agreed upon in advance.
Invoices will be submitt~ monthly based on the percentage of project completion.
Compensation for Additional Services will be agreed to at a later date and Additional
Services will only be performed upon written authorization from City.
Responsibilities of City

parameters.
4. Conduct pilot testing of up to 3 different profiles of filter media to evaluate their
performance in removing iron and manganese. The pilot equipment will include
chemical addition, and pressure filtration (with associated valving, monitoring,
and backwashing facilities). Services by Consultant include provision of pilot
equipment, operation, and water quality testing (field and laboratory). Provide
recommendations to City for treatment options that, in Consultant's judgment~
meet City's requirements for the Project
S. Prepare a report (the "Report") that will describe the pilot study, data generated,

or design requirements of the Project desired by City- The report will develop detailed
project concepts, refine the preliminary equipment and building layouts, establish site
constraints, building position and orientation, site grading and drainage, and refine capital
and O&M cost estimates for detailed budgeting. The pre-design reports provide an
opportunity for early co:nuntu1ications with State officials and the public about water
treatment plans.
1. On the basis of the above acceptance, selection, and authorization, prepare
Preliminary Design Phase documents consisting of final design criteria,
preliminary drawings, outline specifications and written descriptions of the
