Hazen - Denton Reclamation Solids Handling - 7350Reclamation Solids Handling RFQ #7350 | May 14, 2020 May 14, 2020 Crystal Westbrook Buyer City of Denton 901-B Texas Street Denton, TX 76209 Re: Request for Qualifications 7350 Reclamation Solids Handling Dear Ms. Westbrook: Hazen and Sawyer (Hazen) is thrilled to present our uniquely qualified and available team to complete the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant (PCWRP) Solids Handling Improvements Project. Hazen has collaboratively supported the City over the past 5 years in identifying and assessing alternatives to meet the current and future expansion goals. This includes Hazen’s recommendation for a 5 mgd expansion utilizing chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT). Hazen provides the following unique qualifications to this project: 1. Unmatched Understanding – Hazen has partnered with the City in identifying solids handling capaci- ty restrictions, emergency water treatment plant solids handling solutions, solids handling improvements needed to realize the 5 mgd expansion and development of the conceptual design documents for the solids handling improvements. 2. Proven Track Record – Hazen strives to exceed expectations in project delivery and support and has demonstrated this mindset in our past projects with the City. Our support has ranged from evaluation through construction support on planned and emergency projects which have all been successful. 3. Committed Delivery Team with City Experience – Our delivery team is committed and available to complete this project. Our entire team has worked with the City of Denton and learned your design expec- tations. Our local delivery team, who developed the solids improvements conceptual design, is looking forward to completing what we started. 4. We Have a Head Start – We can save the City six months in initial assessment and evaluation time since we have already completed the conceptual design. This accelerates the overall project schedule and ad- dresses the operational needs more quickly. Very truly yours,Hazen and Sawyer Scott Hardy, PE, PMPSenior Associate and Fort Worth Operations Manager Hazen and Sawyer 500 West 7th Street, Suite 702 Fort Worth, TX 76102 • 817.870.2630 hazenandsawyer.com Understanding of the City’s Requirements Hazen and Sawyer 4 Reclamation Solids Handling • 7350 Understanding of the City’s Requirements Hazen will expeditiously deliver the solids handling improvements project building off our previous experience collaboratively identifying the needs at the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant and developing the vision. The Hazen team proposed on this project has been collaboratively shaping the vision for the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant (PCWRP) through multiple projects over the last five years. Our understanding started with the development of the whole plant process model and lead to defining the expansion feasibility opportunities. Along our path we have provided operations support, emergency improvements, construction oversight and peak flow management design. Through these projects we understand the goals of the solids handling improvements are to improve treatment reliability and prepare PCWRP for future expansion. These goals need to be accomplished in a expedited schedule since the plant is already running at the edge of solids handling capacity and need to be accomplished in a cost effective way. RELIABILITY EXPANSION SCHEDULE COST MANAGEMENT Figure 1 on the next page illustrates our team’s engagement with this project from the start. In addition, our local team has been consistently supporting the City of Denton through these projects and are available to deliver the solids handling improvements project. The key individuals shown in Figure 1 will be able to accelerate delivery based on our previous work in defining the needs and build off what has already been started. Our delivery team has designed several projects collaboratively with the City of Denton staff and understands the operational and maintenance preferences that need to be incorporated into the design. As shown in Figure 2, the scope of this project covers multiple needs around the PCWRP identified by plant staff and by our previous projects. The capacity feasibility assessment identified most of these items as necessary for the plant to achieve an additional 5 mgd with chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT). However, before pursuing re-rating the facility with the regulatory authority, Texas Commission on Environment Quality (TCEQ), full scale validation testing and influent characterization is required. This cannot be accomplished with the plant’s interim configuration to manage solids with the dissolved air flotation thickeners (DAFTs) out of service. The site map, Figure 2, identifies the improvement areas along with our understanding of the need.

Figure 1 Hazen and Sawyer 6 Reclamation Solids Handling • 7350 3 RDTs, feed pumps, discharge pumps, wash water pumps and polymer feed system: Hazen evaluated technology options as part of the 5 mgd expansion feasibility. RDTs were selected for enclosed technology with minimal operational oversight. Additional wash water pumps are needed because existing plant service water pump station cannot meet capacity. Repurposing the Lamson Blower Building adjacent to RDT pad location for polymer equipment storage. New North Plant primary sludge pump station: Long primary sludge suction piping from two PCs results in operational challenges and reduced redundancy. New pump station improves sludge removal and is critical for CEPT implementation. New RAS and WAS sludge pumps: The WAS pumps in RAS/WAS PS No. 1 and No. 2 require replacement for new solids holding tank. The RAS pumping capacity needs to be increased for expansion and to address North Plant sludge removal challenges. Sludge holding tank aeration mixing system: The new sludge holding tank repurposes an existing abandoned tank on site. Sludge mixing is required for consistent solids feed to the RDT system and minimized polymer adjustments. Concrete containment berm: Improves ease of maintenance and decreases risk of overflow. Storage building (not shown above, location TBD): The City needs storage space to consolidate emergency equipment in one place for quick access. Fencing along southern boundary (not shown above): Improve plant security. Yard piping modifications (not shown above): Required for solids handling improvements; utilizing existing piping where possible. Replacement of primary sludge and grit pumps: Primary sludge and grit pumps have reached end of useful life at both North and South Plant. The North Plant pump type is not ideal for the application and would be replaced with a more suitable technology. MCC in Lamson Blower Building: The new thickening equipment will be powered from the Lamson Blower Building, which requires replacement of the existing MCC. Hazen performed a site reconnaissance visit to determine space suciency and feed capacity. South RAS MCC: Equipment at end of useful life. Aeration diuser replacement: The existing diusers in the North Plant are ceramic and reached the end of useful life. Initial vendor pricing shows replacement with membrane material is more cost eective. Replacement requires an additional adapter to avoid full replacement of diuser grid piping. The South Plant diusers can be replaced in kind. Air valve replacement: Multiple air valves have reached the end of useful life. Digester cleaning: Accumulation of inert grit and solids is typical in anaerobic digesters requiring periodic cleaning to restore treatment capacity. Rehabilitation of BFPs and conveyor: The BFP frames are in good condition but moving parts such as rollers, bearing and hydraulics have reached end of useful life and require rehabilitation. Rehabilitation can be performed in place or in the factory and will be assessed during design. There is a single conveyor which will require special consideration to maintain plant operation during construction. Digester piping valve condition assessment and replacement: Digester system valves have been replaced as needed in the past. This approach will identify valves before failure and replacing in a more cost aective manner. Primary Digester lid condition assessment and possible replacement: The existing digester lid is old and showing signs of leakage. Assessment will focus on potential rehab or full replacement. Odor control assessment: The new sludge holding tank presents a new potential source for odors and has an elevated opening. It is our understanding that this scope item is targeted to the sludge holding tank but we can perform a plant-wide assessment if necessary. The existing configuration does not blend primary sludge and WAS in a tank but samples can be collected to assess the odor potential and design an appropriate system to contain, convey and treat the new potential odor source. 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 8 9 9 9 10 10 11 11 12 13 12 13 12 13 14 14 15 15 16 16 17 17 18 18 Scope Items and Understandings Figure 2 Hazen and Sawyer 7 Reclamation Solids Handling • 7350 Approach The City requires an organized delivery approach and our team has a head start on preliminary design which accelerates our delivery of this project.

COMPLETED Hazen and Sawyer 8 Reclamation Solids Handling • 7350 We recognize that the City, like many municipalities in North Texas, will be faced with increased financial pressure from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Managing of the City’s financial resources in a cost conscience way through- out the project will be one of our focuses. In addition, we have assisted Texas utilities in the submission and justifica- tion for Texas Water Development Board SWIFT funding for construction projects to ease the long-term financial burden with loans currently at record low interest rates. This may provide the City with an alternative funding source with long terms rate management benefits and Hazen is prepared to help. Our local Hazen delivery team is currently working with North Texas Municipal Water District for Texas Water Development Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWRF) Loan approval in parallel to the design of the Rowlett Creek Regional WWTP Phase II Improvements for more then $50,000,000. CWRF interest rates are at record lows and may be a viable alternate funding mechanism for long term financial stability. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Hazen’s commitment to quality is defined by our people and fostered through our formalized QA/QC process, which is in direct alignment with the City of Denton’s expectations and industry standard of care. This process is reinforced through our training programs for technical competency and QA/QC compliance. QA/QC is ingrained in our culture. Quality is imperative in all we do, from everyday emails to complex studies and design projects. Quality Assurance Processes Quality assurance is incorporating quality as we do our work. Hazen infuses quality in numerous ways: Technical Advisors: We use senior level personnel to effectively guide the work and to take advantage of decades of meaningful experience on similar projects. The assigned Technical Advisors will remain involved in and informed about the project from conception through completion, particularly regarding project objectives, approach to completion of the scope of work and the City of Denton’s’ expectations. 1. Design Guidelines and Checklists: Hazen has discipline-specific design guidelines and checklists to support staff with proven methods for execution and checking of work. 2. Training: Hazen continually provides technical training through process group participation, company-wide training sessions, and specialized boot camp training. 3. Continuous Improvement Portal: Hazen has a web-portal for staff to propose improvements to our master spec- ifications and standard details. Senior engineers review the suggestions and refine specifications and details.

Hazen performed two days of onsite operations training with the process model tool. The project included on-call support such as the assessment of process upsets due to periodic water treatment plant residual discharges to the facility and emergency solids management assessment. Rotary drum thickeners (RDT) were piloted as a feasible mechanical thickening solution and Hazen developed the testing protocol and analyzed the results. Recently, Hazen was tasked with determining the feasibility and improvements necessary to expand the PCWRP by 5 mgd in average annual day flow (increase in peak flow would be managed through onsite and collection system storage). Multiple alternatives were evaluated using the process model including solids handling improvements, enhancing primary treatment and secondary treatment intensification. The results indicate the additional capacity can be realized through chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) and solids handling improvements to address the lack of thickening capacity. Immediate improve- ments required include new RDTs for thickening and polymer feed system for CEPT.

Condition, hydraulic capacity and process capacity were assessed to identify gaps and opportunities to gain additional capacity with minimal capital improvements. Treatment alternatives considered included membrane bioreactors (MBR), densified acti- vated sludge (DAS) with step feed and high rate biological treatment. DAS with step feed was selected and saved NTMWD approximately $20M in capital cost and maintained operational simplicity. The solids handling facility was determined to be at the end of useful life. Four operation configurations (thickening WAS and dewatering, dilute WAS storage and dewatering, co-thickening and dewatering, and dewatering 24/7), three thickening technologies (RDT, GBT, and 3-belt filter press), and three dewatering technologies (3-belt filter press, centrifuge, and BFP) were evaluated. WAS thickening and dewatering were selected with GBTs and BFPs. Current design scope includes: influent lift station expansions, aeration basin improvements for step feed and diffuser replacement, new aeration direct drive blowers, clarifier mechanism replacement, new disc filters, new UV disinfection, new ferric sulfate storage and feed, new outfall pipeline, various hydraulic and distribution improvements throughout the site, and new solids handling facility with GBTs, BFPs, truck loadout and all ancillary pumping and chemical equip- ment. Construction sequencing is a significant challenge due to site constraints while maintaining plant operation.

Bustamante Wastewater Treatment Plant (RRBWWTP) Optimization and Expansion Completion Date: Ongoing Construction Value: $110M El Paso Water (EPW) identified capacity restrictions at the RRBWWTP limiting design capacity below the rated 39 mgd. Hazen was retained by EPW to validate the existing process capacity and identify alternatives to recover capacity back to the permitted 39 mgd. In addition, the flows to the facility exceed 75 percent of the permitted capacity triggering planning for expansion. This project includes developing treatment alternatives for the expansion to 51 mgd. Eventually, this facility will include an advanced treatment process to meet drinking water standards for direct potable reuse. Therefore, one goal of the optimization and expansion project is to economically meet the effluent quality desired to feed the advanced plant with consistent quality. This quality goal is more stringent than the effluent discharge permit. The evaluation phase of the project is currently underway with process model calibration and primary and secondary clarifier computational fluid dynamic models. In addition, existing solids handling processes will be evaluated with an attempt to increase the consistency of cake quality. Conceptual design will be completed for the selected alternative and design will proceed with the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) alternative delivery mechanism to expe- dite the schedule. Schedule is a significant driver for this project due to the current capacity limitations and the conceptual design must be completed in 8 month. Hazen is currently on schedule for completion.

Hazen was retained by the City to evaluate deficiencies at the existing facilities to address all the drivers for this project (condition, odors and reliability) in comparison to a process upgrade option that addresses the drivers and reduces overall cost. A calibrated waste- water process model was developed for the facility to evaluate alternative con- figurations and sizing. An alternate process configuration was recommended to eliminate the primary clarifiers and convert the existing anaerobic digesters to aerobic waste activated sludge storage. This process addressed the goals economically, reduced operational complexity and aligned this facility with the other four WWTPs the City owns and operates. Conceptual design is complete including the site master plan to expand the facility up to 16 mgd. The design includes biological nutrient removal upgrades, new aeration blowers, secondary clarifier, solids pumping, sludge holding tank mixing system, rotary drum thickener facility, screw press dewatering, and ancillary solids handling equipment such as polymer, pumping and conveyance.

Wayne Hill WRC – Thickening Rehab Project Completion Date: 2013 Construction Value: $8.87M To save capital, Gwinnett County made the decision to centralize solids handling at the 60 mgd F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (FWHWRC) and pump solids from the soon to be completed 22 mgd Yellow River WRF to FWHWRC for treatment and removal. As part of a plant-wide optimization study at FWHWRC, Hazen’s solids process evaluation confirmed Gwinnett County’s fears that the thickening and anaerobic digestion processes are not adequate for the design capacity of the 60 mgd (MMF) with the addition of solids from the Yellow River WRF (approximately 18 mgd at startup). Capacity improvements were identified and evaluated by Hazen to meet the plant’s maximum month capacity of 60 mgd with the addition of the Yellow River sludge, and co-thick- ening of primary and waste activated sludge to 5.5% solids was identified as the best option to implement. Gwinnett County issued a demand services work authorization to Hazen to perform an evaluation of gravity belt thickeners (GBTs) and rotary drum thick- eners (RDTs) in a co-thickening application for the capacity improvements. Multiple site visits to co-thickening installations were conducted with Gwinnett County operations and maintenance staff. Detailed layouts in 3-D, equipment comparisons, and costs analyses of GBTs and RDTs were performed. Extensive interviews and surveys were conducted with operators and maintenance per- sonnel at existing installations with a particular emphasis on installations utilizing the equipment in a co-thickening mode to operation. As RDTs were generally found to be more favorably received by operations and maintenance staff, offered the cleanest installation, fit best within the constraints of the existing building, and do not create the wet and corrosive environment associated with GBTs, Gwinnett County selected the slightly more costly rotary drum thickener technology. To meet Yellow River’s quickly approaching startup schedule, Hazen fast-tracked the detailed design services to replace FWHWRC’s existing thickening centri- fuges with six 400 gpm rotary drum thickeners. Provisions were included to attenuate primary sludge and dampen swings in solids concentration in a holding tank, decoupling primary sludge pumping from the thickening operation, allowing FWHWRC to discontinue its practice of in-tank thickening in the primary clarifiers, and allowing for more consistent feedstock and consistent polymer dosage to the RDTs. The project also included provisions for separate WAS holding and mixing, odor control, bulk polymer storage and feed, new 4-stage progressing cavity pumps for pumping thickened digested sludge to the digesters, new digested sludge piping to reduce headloss, and controls for unattended monitoring and auto- mated operation.

The Central Plant is broken up into two separate plants: White Rock (low odor potential) and Dallas (high odor potential). The force main was a leading cause for the elevated hydrogen sulfide concen- trations at the Dallas plant headworks. The 28 open trickling filters were determined to be minor in comparison to the off-site impact of the Dallas headworks. Air dispersion mod- eling was performed to assess the degree of off-site impact of both existing and controlled conditions. All odor sources identified during the field investigations were included in the air dispersion model. An odor control master plan was developed and approved. The first phase of odor control, which addresses odors from the headworks and treats them in a biofilter, has been designed and constructed and is currently operating effectively. Odor Control Program at Village Creek WWTP, Fort Worth, TXDeveloped a phased approach to odor control at the Village Creek WWTP, taking into account the plant’s size, the numerous odor sources, and the proximity of residences.

Mapped the sources of odor complaints and investi-gated relevant meteorological conditions. Conducted neighborhood odor surveys and resident interviews to establish the relationship between plant odors and community perceptions. The key plant odor sources included the anaerobic digesters and the prima-ry clarifiers. Site studies showed that over 95 percent of the clarifier odors came from the weirs and could be controlled with weir covers. Weir covers were pilot tested and eventu-ally designed and installed along with wet scrubbers to treat the odors captured. Conducted field investigations to study the side-by-side effectiveness of pilot-scale activated carbon bed adsorption versus full-scale vessels in removing municipal wastewater odors gener-ated from sludge thickening operations.
