EXHIBIT A <br /> SCOPE OF WORK (PHASE 1) <br /> CSO STORAGE at 36th Street <br /> WO# U P3700 <br /> 1. Project Background and Understanding <br /> Two separate planning and design efforts are in progress that involve combined sewer <br /> infrastructure improvements to reduce combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges at NPDES <br /> permitted outfalls SR07 and SR08 to comply with the Department of Ecology (DOE) requirement <br /> of no more than one CSO event per year per outfall averaged over a 20-year period. These <br /> projects also aim to eliminate chronic sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) events at various locations. <br /> Another consultant (BHC) previously completed a modeling study that identified several <br /> improvements (grey infrastructure) that would achieve CSO and SSO control. Sewer flow meters <br /> were installed in the system to support model calibration and validation. The City plans to <br /> implement the following two project elements: <br /> CSO Storage <br /> Preliminary modeling with CSO storage showed that excess volume can be stored and <br /> slowly released over time and is effective in reducing CSOs at SR08 and flooding at various <br /> locations within the project area. Exact dimensions of the vault (or other storage <br /> structure), orifice, and weir should be evaluated further during design and may be <br /> impacted by other site constraints. A pump may be necessary to either allow for deeper <br /> storage or to pump out the bottom of the storage vault or to ensure it can drain <br /> completely between storm events. <br /> Modifications to 36th Street Regulator <br /> Modeling indicates that diverting more flow from the 36th Street regulator to the <br /> Snohomish River CSO Interceptor (SRI) will decrease flooding at City sewer manholes in <br /> the vicinity of this CSO control project by reducing flow in the Summit Interceptor and <br /> flattening the hydraulic grade line (HGL). The Sewer 0 projects (being completed by City <br /> staff) are to control SSO events at various locations. Modeling for Sewer 0 determined <br /> that the proposed improvements would move an SSO problem farther downstream and <br /> that additional system improvements are necessary. The City's immediate objective is to <br /> ensure that the Sewer 0 project functions without surcharging, while the long-term <br /> objective is for CSO control. <br /> 2. Assumptions <br /> This scope of work is based on the following assumptions: <br /> a. This project is broken into three phases: <br /> • Phase 1 Preliminary Engineering <br /> 1 ' Page <br />
