TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC VOORKS AUTHORITY
FROM:
AGREEMENT PUBLIC WOZ�
O, ENGINEERING SERVICES
WEATHER WET STUDY
DATE: March 15, 2006
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Master Plan, completed in May 2005, outlined a 20 -year plan for the upgrade of
existing wastewater treatment and sewer collection infrastructure to proactively address the
growing demand of the Owasso community. Recommendations included the investment of
nearly $15 million in treatment plant expansions and over $25 million in collection system
improvements over the next 20 years to address ultimate — or build -out — demand projections for
the Owasso service area.
In addition to improvements recommended for future growth, the plan also identified system
deficiencies which significantly hinder — or limit — existing conveyance and treatment capacity.
Such deficiencies were ranked and prioritized for implementation in the next five years, totaling
an investment of nearly $10 million. FY 2005 -2006 budget provides adequate funding for the
replacement of aging or malfunctioning equipment including the replacement of pumps at the E.
117"' Street North Lift Station, upgrade of pumps at the Relief Pump Station and relocation of
Return Activated Sludge piping at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
On March 1, 2006, a workshop was held with members of Greeley and Hansen and City staff to
develop a 5 -year plan for the design, financing and construction of recommended improvements.
The consultant communicated that recommendations for the upgrade of the conveyance system —
to include the replacement of pumps at the E. 117th East Lift Station at a cost of $142,800 — were
based on pump draw -down test and not on flow monitoring — as would be required to best access
needed pumping capacity. It was determined that a comprehensive flow monitoring study would
be necessary to determine whether higher capacity pumps would be required, making the
replacement of such pumps or enhancement of any conveyance /pumping infrastructure —
premature and /or inefficient at this point.
Agreement for Engineering Services
Wet Weather Flow Study
Page 2 of 3
Following the conclusion of the workshop, it was recommended that a comprehensive Wet
Weather Flow Monitoring Study be completed prior to the construction of sewer improvements.
Such study would complement the work performed in the Wastewater Master Plan by providing
empirical data for the calibration of the OPWA's sewer model to detail how wet weather flows
impacts the collection system. The additional work would provide a plan for corrective action to
minimize infiltration of rain/groundwater in the sewer system and would also allow for further
refinement of the recommendations to the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) presented in the
Wastewater Master Plan. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this study would enable the
City to seek funding – as a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan – for the cost - effective,
planned implementation of such CIP projects.
ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT,
On March 8, 2006, Greeley and Hansen submitted a proposal for the completion of a Wet
Weather Study to complement the work performed under the Wastewater Master Plan completed
by the same in 2005. The work will enable the OPWA to model the effects of wet weather on the
sewer conveyance system for the proper sizing of collection system elements. An addendum to
the Master Plan will be developed, detailing impacts of wet weather flow, to recommend
corrective actions and upgrades to the system.
A lump sum fee proposal of $147,316 was submitted and an Agreement for Engineering Design
Services was drafted in a standard folnnat previously approved by the City Attorney.
The project is divided into five (5) work tasks as follows:
Define objective and deliverables
Perform flow monitoring
Perform VI study
— Update /calibrate collection system model
— Update Master Plan CIP recommendations
PROJECT SCHEDULE:
The Work is scheduled to begin in April 2006 and be completed by October 2006, subject to
weather.
FUNDING:
Funding for this project will be obtained from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB)
via a loan from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. FY 2005 -2006 allocation for
Wastewater Improvements, Line Items 62- 455 -54270 ($142,800.00) and 62 -450 -54270 ($4,516)
provides sufficient temporary funding pending reimbursement from OWRB.
It is worth noting that, following the completion of the pump test at the E. 117"' Street North Lift
Station, it was discovered that rags were significantly impairing the capacity of the pumps. Staff
Agreement for Engineering Services
Wet Weather Flow Study
Page 3 of 3
has addressed the source of rags — eliminating their presence from the sewer system -- thereby
improving the performance of the existing equipment. Personnel also performed maintenance on
the equipment, further improving system performance. Thus, the immediate replacement of such
pumping equipment is no longer necessary to prevent the occurrence of a bypass or overflow.
This has afforded adequate time for the completion of the flow study prior to pump replacement,
which is now scheduled to occur in the next 18 months.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The staff recommends the Trustee approval of an Agreement for Engineering Services for a Wet
Weather (UI) Flow Study with Greeley and Hansen, LLC (Chicago, Illinois) in the amount of
$147,316 and authorization of the Chair to execute the document.

Scope of Project
Attachment A
SCOPE OF PROJECT The PROJECT shall consist of the project described as:
A comprehensive Wet Weather Study will be performed that once completed will provide
the OPWA's existing collection system model the capability of modeling the effects of wet
weather. Temporary flow meters will be installed at select locations in the collection system
to evaluate its response to wet weather events. Measured flows will be used to calibrate a
hydrologic model, which will be added to the existing collection system model. This
hydrologic model will be used to simulate the response of the collection system to wet
weather events. The calibrated collection system model will then be used to refine the
results of the Master Plan, as they relate to the collection system. The Master Plan will be
updated to indicate how wet weather flows may impact the collection system.
Recommendations will be made that allow the collection system to convey wet weather
flows to the wastewater treatment plant through out the 20 -year planning period. The
Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) will be modified to reflect these recommendations.
In addition, a separate Inflow and Infiltraton (I /1) Study Report will be prepared and
submitted to the OPWA of Owasso. The study will approximate I/1 rates for the OPWA's
collection system. The study will also quantify peak weather inflow, dry weather
infiltration and rainfall dependent infiltration for each region of the collection system
monitored during flow monitoring.
The Wet Weather Study will incorporate information from the following OPWA studies:
® Wastewater Master Plan Update date May 2005, completed by Greeley and Hansen
LLC.
The execution of the work will be broken up into five major work tasks, as follows:
1. Project Management, which includes overall project management tasks, and the
Kick Off Meeting.
2. Flow Monitoring of the existing Owasso Collection System.
3. Perform an Infiltration and Inflow Study on the existing Owasso Collection System.
4. Perform a Wet Weather Evaluation that includes developing a Hydrologic Model,
calibrate the collection system model to include the results of the wetweather
modeling and evaluating the existing collection with calibrated collection system
model based upon predicted flows and loads to the wastewater treatment plant.
5. Update the previously developed Master Plan to include the results of the collection
system wet weather modeling.
A more detailed description of each work task is provided as part of Attachment B.

The services to be performed by the ENGINEER, Greeley and Hansen LLC, under this
AGREEMENT will consist of performing a Wet Weather Study for the OPWA's existing
collection system. The execution of the work will be broken up into five major work tasks,
as stated below. Further, it is understood and agreed that the date of beginning, rate of
progress, and the time of completion of the work to be done hereunder are essential
provisions of this AGREEMENT; and it is further understood and agreed that the work
embraced in this AGREEMENT shall commence upon execution of this AGREEMENT and
receipt of Notice to Proceed. The Basic Services of ENGINEER include, but are not
necessarily limited to, the following tasks:
Greeley and Hansen LLC propose to furnish the OPWA the following professional
engineering services for the development of the Wet Weather Study:
1, Project Kick Off
1.1 Kick Off Meeting - Greeley and Hansen and their subconsultant will
conduct a meeting with the OPWA personnel to initiate project activities. The
purpose of the meeting is to:
• Identify Key Project Personnel from the OPWA and the Engineering
Project Team
• Review General Project Requirements and Scope
• Establish the Appropriate Lines of Communication and Procedures
for Informational Requests and Reviews.
• Discuss Project Schedule and Identify Key Project Deliverables.
• Establish Meeting Note Protocol.
• Submit Initial Information Request to the OPWA.
1.2 Project Management - Project management activities include preparing the
monthly invoices and project status reports for the OPWA'S review.
ISM
2. Flow Monitoring
The majority of the flow monitoring task will be performed by ENGINEER'S local
subconsultant, MGD Technologies. Greeley and Hansen will oversee their work and
provide coordination when necessary.
2.1 Pre- Install Site Inspection - The attached figure indicates the recommended
flow monitoring sites. MGD Technologies will be responsible for inspecting
the sites prior to meter installation. If any of these sites are found to be
hydraulically inadequate for flow meter installation, MGD Technologies will
recommend alternative locations.
2.2 Meter Installation - Flow meter installation will be performed by MGD
Technologies. This task is expected to take two days, all MGD Technologies
staff is OSHA certified for confined space entry. A total of nine flow meters
at nine different locations will be installed.
Sigma 910 AV flow meters will be used on this project. These meters are
capable of accurately measuring sewer flows in both free flow and
surcharged conditions. By measuring both depth and velocity, these meters
are capable of accurately measuring flow under free flow, surcharge, and
backwater conditions. Rain gauges will be installed at no less than two sites
to record the temporal variations of rainfall events that occur during the
flow - monitoring period.
2.3 Data Collection - Flow monitoring would begin in April 2006 and last up to
three months. During this time, MGD will maintain the flow meters as
required and download data once per week for the first month, and bi-
weekly for the remaining two months.
2.4. Meter Removal - MGD Technologies will remove the flow meters at the end
of the three month flow monitoring period.
2.5 Data Analysis - MGD Technologies will forward the raw flow data to Greeley
and Hansen for evaluation. Greeley and Hansen will review the flow data
for accuracy, identify any problems or discrepancies, and perform a cursory
review of dry and wet weather flows.
3. Infiltration & Inflow Study
31 Infiltration & Inflow Study - A system wide I/I Study will be conducted. The
study will identify dry and wet weather periods from performing the
collection system flow monitoring. For each monitored subsystem, 1/1 will be
quantified and relationships between rainfall and peak wet weather flows
will be developed. Those areas where I/I is found to be the most severe will
be recommended for a Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) to locate specific
sources of 1/1 and recommended corrective actions.
A report will be prepared and submitted detailing the findings of the 1/1
Study. The report will also include a detailed evaluation of each subsystem
including hydrographs, I/I rates, transport and treatment cost estimates.
B -2
4. Wet Weather Evaluation
4.1 Hydrologic Model Development - The collection system model will be updated
by adding a hydrologic model capable of simulating the collection system
response to rainfall. Hydrologic model development involves evaluating each
subcatchment of the model and adding key hydrologic parameters such as
percent impervious, ground slope, soil type, etc. Initial estimates of these
parameters will be made, and they will be refined as necessary during the
calibration process.
4.2 Model Calibration - Model calibration involves inputting measured rainfall
data recorded during the flow - monitoring program. The model is then run
and the resultant system flows are compared to measured flows at each of the
flow monitoring sites. Model parameters are fine -tuned in order to obtain a
better fit between measured and simulated flows.
4.3 Wet Weather Evaluation - Once the model is calibrated and adequately predicts
the response of the system to a variety of wet weather events, the calibrated
model will be used to perform a wet weather evaluation of the collection
system. This evaluation will involve a continuous simulation of the collection
system to a typical rainfall period of not less than three years. Potential annual
average system overflow frequencies and volumes will be developed and
system bottlenecks identified.
4.4 Report Development - The findings of this evaluation will be included as part
of the addendum to the Mater Plan Update.
5. Master flan Update
5.1 Updated Master Plan - An addendum to the Wastewater Master Plan Update
will be prepared. The addendum will modify the original recommendations of
the Wastewater Master Plan Update as they relate to the collection system
based upon the results of the Wet Weather Evaluation. The Capital
Improvement Plan as it relates to the collection system will be modified as well
and included in the addendum. The collection system model, updated to
include the effects of wet weather flow, will be turned over to the OPWA for
their use. The Owasso staff will be trained in the use of the modified model.
5.2 Master Plan Meeting -- After the Master Plan has been updated, it will be
submitted to Owasso staff for their review and comment. After an agreed
upon review period, a meeting will be held between Greeley and Hansen and
Owasso staff to review the updated Master Plan and discuss any comments
they may have. The master Plan will be modified to incorporate Owasso Staff
questions and con vents. Ten copies of the final updated Master Plan will be
submitted to Owasso Staff for their use.
5.3 Staff Training - Owasso Staff will be instructed on the specifics of the use of
the final, calibrated model collection system model. We will also be available
to assist Owasso staff by answering any questions they may have concerning
the model.

Ci RESOLUTION t 2006-03
REIMBURSEMENT
DATE: March 16, 2006
C •, r 1,
The Wastewater Master Plan of 2005 recommended various improvements to Owasso's wastewater
system and funding for those projects is expected to be provided by the Oklahoma Water Resources
Board (OWRB). The OWRB provides low interest long -term financing for water and wastewater
projects. For the past fourteen years, all of Owasso's debt for water and wastewater projects has
been with the OWRB. A loan application has not yet been prepared and would require approval by
the OPWA Trustees.
At the March 21St meeting, staff will be requesting OPWA Trustee approval of an engineering
services agreement as the first step in preparing for other wastewater system improvements. In order
to proceed and to utilize the future loan proceeds from the OWRB for this contract, the OPWA must
approve a "reimbursement resolution."
Funding from the OWRB is tax - exempt financing and therefore subject to IRS regulations
concerning tax - exempt debt. The tax code restricts the use of the proceeds of tax - exempt debt when
paying for aast expenditures. In order for the OPWA to be reimbursed for engineering (or any other
costs) expended for the project before the loan closing, then the OPWA must declare its official
intent to do so. That declaration must specify the project and estimated amounts of financing.
The attached Resolution Igo. 2006 -03 was prepared by our Bond Counsel, meets the requirements of
the tax code and declares official intent of the OPWA to expend its own funds for wastewater system
improvements and its intent to be reimbursed with the proceeds of tax - exempt debt issued by the
OPWA.
Staff recommends OPWA Trustee approval of Resolution No. 2006 -03, a resolution declaring the
intent of the OPWA to expend certain funds in connection with wastewater system improvements, with
said expenditures to be reimbursed from the proceeds of debt to be incurred by the OPWA.
OPWA Resolution No. 2006 -03
RESOLUTION NO. 2006-03
A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE INTENT OF THE OWASSO PUBLIC
WORKS AUTHORITY (THE "AUTHORITY ") TO EXPEND CERTAIN
FUNDS IN CONNECTION WITH WASTEWATER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS, WITH SAID EXPENDITURES TO BE REIMBURSED
FROM THE PROCEEDS OF DEBT TO BE INCURRED BY THE
AUTHORITY; AND CONTAINING OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING
THERETO.
WHEREAS, the Authority is considering the design and construction of certain wastewater
improvements as more specifically set out below (collectively, the "Project "); and
WHEREAS, it is the Authority's intent to eventually fund the cost of the Project through the
issuance of debt obligations; and
WHEREAS, the Authority desires to initially fund certain costs pertaining to the Project out
of the Authority's cash reserves; and
WHEREAS, the Authority further desires to declare its official intent to reimburse itself
with the proceeds of debt incurred by the Authority, as required by Section 1.103 -18 of the Treasury
Regulations promulgated pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 -150 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
NOW, THEREFORE, • ) BY THE BOARD OF '' OF THE
OWASSO PU13LIC WORKS AUTHORITY:
Section 1. Project Descri t� ion. The Project to be designed and constructed by the
Authority shall generally include improvements necessary to upgrade the wastewater collection
and treatment system, including engineering studies to determine the need for wastewater
collection line repair and replacement, engineering and design of capacity increase for the
wastewater treatment plant, improvements to the N 117 East Avenue lift station, and other
related engineering design and construction.
Section 2. Cost of Project. The Authority intends to initially fund certain costs of the
Project from the Authority's funds. The Authority reasonably expects to reimburse any amounts
expended with the proceeds of debt to be incurred by the Authority. The Authority anticipates
issuing debt for the Project in one or more series in an aggregate amount not to exceed
approximately $7,500,000.
Section 3. Declaration of Official Intent. This Resolution constitutes a declaration of
official intent as is required pursuant to Section 1.103 -18 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated
pursuant to Sections 103 and 141 -150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
