MEMORANDUM <br /> March 17,2010 9 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Design Team Input <br /> During the evaluation, R.W. Beck participated in three meetings of the Project Design Team in <br /> order to provide background information, to describe and discuss alternatives, and to facilitate <br /> the Design Team's analysis of alternatives. The Design Team developed and ranked selection <br /> criteria shown below in Table 1. <br /> Table 1 <br /> Evaluation Criteria Developed by Design Team <br /> Criteria <br /> (Listed in Ranked Order) Description <br /> 1.Continuous Operation as Required to Facility needs to provide highly reliable treatment,desired effluent quality, <br /> Meet Regulatory Requirements minimum odor,noise etc.on a continuous basis both during construction <br /> and long-term operation. <br /> 2.Reliability I Redundancy I Flexibility Reliability. The ability of plant equipment,electrical and mechanical <br /> systems,and control functions to operate with minimal failures and <br /> downtime. <br /> Redundancy. The ability of the plant to function as designed in the event <br /> of failure of key systems and during scheduled and unscheduled <br /> maintenance. <br /> Flexibility. The ability of the Facility to adapt to changing influent <br /> characteristics,process upsets,and other unanticipated conditions,both <br /> short-term and long-term <br /> 3.Owner Involvement in Design and Direct involvement by the City during the design phase,having input in all <br /> Construction aspects of the plant. Ongoing communication,particularly by operations <br /> staff during construction of the Facility,in areas that impact day-to-day <br /> operations. <br /> 4.Best Value(Cost and Quality) Quality. Assurance that the Facility meets City and industry standards <br /> for quality. <br /> Cost Total life-cyde cost of the facility including initial construction cost <br /> and long term O&M. <br /> 5.EaselSafety of Operations and The ease and ability of the Facility to meet standards set by the City and <br /> Maintenance governing regulatory agencies while minimizing risk. <br /> 6.Risk in Construction Avoidance of construction related disputes,change orders and lawsuits. <br /> 7.Quality of As-Builts The preparation of detailed as-built drawings,O&M manuals and other <br /> documents indicating the specifics of the constructed facility. <br /> 0015811 11-01351-10000\2100 <br /> I . <br />
