technical services for the City of Denton. Following our meeting to discuss the scope of
services and fee required for the Peak Flow Storage Basin Design and Construction at
the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant, we have finalized our estimated resource
hours to complete the project. We can perform the work for the all tasks of the project
for a lump sum cost of $160,188. A summary of the resources and a detailed scope of
services are attached.
Thank you for this opportunity. We look forward to working with you and your staff.

City of Denton
Peak Flow Basin/Pump Station
Scope of Work
1. TASK 1 - Basis of Design
A. Task 1.1 - Basis of Design Memo
Engineer will prepare a Basis of Design Memorandum that is developed from input
from the City of Denton on the Feasibility Study. Implementation of the design is
based on relieving peak flows from the collection system prior to the treatment plant.
Peak flows will be temporarily stored until such time that flows reduce to allow the
Peak Flow Basin to be placed back into the collection system for transmission to the
treatment plant. The basic components of the design are as follows:
a. Peak Flow Pump Station
i. Pump station will be designed for a firm capacity of 12 to 15 mgd, with the
ability to be expanded in the future to 24 to 30 mgd; and
ii. Pump station will be designed to pump flows from the proposed 42-inch
collection system pipeline; and
iii. The Pump station will be cast-in-place concrete structure with submersible
pumps; and
iv. The Pump station will have integrated controls tied to the current
wastewater treatment plant for monitoring and control.
b. Peak Flow Basin
i. Basin will be designed to maximize the site available, both in total surface
area and depth and meet the volume requirements as determined by the
hydrographs; and
ii. Basin will be designed with a clay liner to meet the design requirements of
the TCEQ for raw wastewater peak flow storage and
iii. Basin design will include the pipeline into and out of the basin that will be
tied to the existing collection system that will be modified by the City. The
Peak Flow Basin will be designed to accept gravity flow either to or from the
collection system.
2. The Basis of Design Memorandum will include the specific design criteria for the
following:
a. Acceptable pump manufacturers and any special requirements, and;
b. Acceptable electrical gear manufacturers and any special requirements, and;
c. Peak Flow Basin operation and control requirements.
3. Engineer will prepare and include a schedule in the Basis of Design Memorandum
that identifies key project milestones.
4. Engineer will submit Basis of Design Memorandum in letter format to the City of
Denton for review. The memorandum will include general layout drawings, including
dimensions, access roadways and site drainage. An opinion of probable construction
cost (OPCC) for the design will be included. Engineer will provide two (2) copies of
the letter memorandum and one electronic copy in pdf format.

Scope of Work
5. Upon City of Denton approval of the Basis of Design Memorandum, Engineer will
provide a preliminary excavation drawing to allow the City to establish excavation
limits.
6. City of Denton to provide new piping profiles in the area of the improvements.
B. Task 1.2 - Basis of Design Meeting
1. Engineer will schedule a review meeting to discuss the Basis of Design
Memorandum and receive comments from the City. Meeting minutes will capture any
changes to the Basis of Design Memo and service as the final components for the
design of the Peak Flow Basin and Pump Station.
2. Engineer will provide final excavation drawing to the City to ensure optimum soil
excavation prior to the construction contract being awarded to the contractor, which
will significantly reduce the total construction time.
II. TASK 2- DETAILED DESIGN
A. Task 2.1 - Contract Documents
Prepare detailed plans, technical specifications, contract documents, designs and
layouts of improvements to be constructed, generally as described and approved in
the Basis of Design Memorandum. Contract Documents will include civil site,
