Water Treatment Plant Produdion Study WATER TREATMENT PLANT ASSESSMENT The treatrnent plant production evaluation will include an assessment of the different treatrnent processes including the planYs rapid mix basins, the flocculation / sedimentation basins, chemical feed addition and disinfection as well as filtration and treated water storage. In addition, raw and treated water pumping capacities and sludge production rates and s(udge disposal will also be assessed. Our experience in evaluation and design of different types of filters (air scour, Aries, underdrains, filter media etc.) and filter renovations allows us to present altematives in a format that facilitates informed decisions to best meet the needs of the City. In the past 10 years, our team has designed more than 50 filters (new or renovated) to heat over 250 MGD at 12 different water heatrnent plants in Texas. A listing of recent filter projects in included in the Appendix. We will also assess immediate and long-tenn requirements for compliance with various provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act and make recommendations for optimizing the production capacity of the plant. Our strong working relationship with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and other regulatory agencies coupled with a good understanding of the regulations will help the Ciiy in its efforts to ensure that it is meeting current and future applicable regulations. Freese and Nichols has recently completed SDWA Evaluarions for more than 12 water treatrnent plants in Texas. CONSTRUCTABILITY & COST EST[MATING Cost estimating is essential to help make sound decisions for the City. Freese and Nichols employs a large group of full-time construction professionals dedicated to the constrvction of water and wastewater treahnent facilities in Texas.
