RE Fee Proposal and Scope of Work
Hardee Field Road Pump Station
City of Denton, Texas
Dear Mr Arora:
We are pleased to present the scope of work and fee proposal for the preliminary design phase of the
re -design of the Hardee Field Road Pump Station Attached are the following for your review
a) Our Proposed Scope of Work
b) As shown on the attached spreadsheets, our proposed lump sum fee is $41,300
As we discussed, we will develop a proposal for the final design and construction
phase services after the scope and schedule are determined
c) As shown on the attached memorandum, our opinion of probable construction cost
is $7,136,000, including a 10%contingency
Based on our discussions with the City of Denton and our review of the original plans and
specifications, we note the following observations
a) The original design of the pump station had an ultimate capacity of 35 mgd The
revised design will have an ultimate capacity of 60 mgd, with the capability of
serving two pressure planes Tlus may require the use of multiple medium voltage
vanable frequency dnves The larger pump capacities will also require larger pump
cans, piping, pump control valves, switch gear and starters, more space for pumps
and motors, heavier structural loads, larger chemical facilities, and larger HVAC
systems We estimate the building will be approximately 25% larger in size
Therefore, the pump station will require an almost complete re -design

b) The 3 mg storage tank will have curtain bathes, or provisions for adding curtain
bathes The site will be adaptable to 2 additional 3 mg tanks This will require
revisions to the tank inlet and outlet piping, and possibly overflow and chemical feed
Piping
c) The site plans and details will be revised for the following
• Changed off -site drainage conditions
• Revised suction piping
• Provisions for future multiple discharge pipelines
• Revised chemical piping
• Revised tank inlets and outlets
• Revised on -site roads and parking
• Revised site electrical
• Changes to site drainage, landscaping, waste systems, and fencing
due to other site changes
d) The 42-inch pipeline will be revised to a larger size We assume that any additional
topographic survey will be provided by the City of Denton, as was done in the
original design Some minor reroutes of the pipeline are expected for changed
conditions
e) The chemical facilities will require larger equipment, larger piping and more space
for equipment
f) The ventun flowmeter and vault will probably be revised to more current technology,
such as ultra -sonic
g) The instrumentation and SCADA systems will require an almost complete re -design
A station plc will be used Some additional instrumentation may be required This
will require adding several sheets to the drawings We assume Denton will want to
add electrical bulkheads for motor and control leads, so that the vfd's can easily be
switched to alternate pumps
h) The standard details and specifications should be updated to current standards

F�hi 1�nadPomp Station - Revision to the 1991 Design
Design Phase
19,1
The 2-1021 dp of the Hardee Field Road Pump Station was completed by FNI in 1991; however,
the project not constructed at that time. FNI will update and revise the contract documents and
will provide on phase services FNI will provide Phase I - Basic Services as described
below After view and approval of the preliminary design report by the City of Denton, FNI will
prepare a proplosal for Phase II - Basic Services, and any additional services as directed by the City
of Denton
Hardee Field Road Booster Pump Station - Revisions to the 1991 Design
Phase - Basic Services
1) F&N structural, electrical, mechanical, architectural, water/wastewater, and civil will
review the plans, specifications and design files to identify any changes that may be
suggested to the City of Denton
2) F&N will investigate the following changes, which were suggested by the City of
Denton.
a) Revise the initial and future pump selections for higher capacity The
original design was based on an initial capacity of 10 mgd and an ultimate
capacity of 35 mgd. The revised design will be based on the ultimate future
capacity of 60 mgd. Initial pumps will be selected to serve the upper (826)
pressure plane Future pumps will be selected to serve the upper and lower
(745) pressure planes
b) Revise the piping, valves, and power systems for the higher capacity pump
selections Make the piping compatible with the future split in flow between
the upper and lower pressure planes
c) Revise the building layout for larger primps, piping, motors, and power
systems (this will affect civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, architectural,
and w/ww)
d) Review the original design for using the 3 mg storage tanks at HFPS to take
excess capacity from the distribution system at night, and pump back into the
distribution system during the day Review the piping and valve arrangement
i for this scenario
e) Provide space for 2 additional 3 mg ground tanks for the future The revised
design will include one 3 mg storage tank, as originally designed
f) Review the site layout for a bigger btulding, revised chemical facilities (bulk
storage and possible relocated chemical facilities), revised drainage for the
wider existing City Street, cut and fill issues, 2 additional future tanks,
revised site roads, and the revised piping layouts
g) Provide baffles in the storage tanks to permit plug flow As a minimum, the
tanks will be capable of retrofitting curtain baffles This may require revising
the tank inlet and outlet piping and chemical feeds
h) Investigate ways ofreductagcosts ofthearchitectural enhancements, without
sacrificing substantial aesthetic value.
i) Revise the roof skylights for the larger motors, or provide other means of
pulling the pumps
J) Review the plans and specs for current code requirements
k) Review the communication methods including fiber optic and radio between
HFPS and Spencer Denton wants open arclutecture SCADA systems and
plc's, where feasible
1) Investigate providing facilities for a second power feed at the pump station
The electrical substation will be designed and constructed by others as
originally planned FNI will coordinate site requirements with the utility
company
3) FNI will provide cost estimates for various alternatives as appropriate
4) FNI will provide five copies of a preliminary design report with summaries,
recommendations, and cost estimates
5) FNI will attend two meetings with the City of Denton staff to coordinate the
preliminary design phase FNI will also attend one meeting with the Public Utility
Board to present the findings of the preliminary design phase
