^I including value engineering and li£e cycle costs for
various extended liie projections for the system and/or
components of the system.
3. Possible alternative computerized design and drafting
(CADD) to assist you in more fu11y realizing and
visualizing the three-dimensional nature of your waste-
water plan and system as well as alternative solutions
both for collection and treatment.
Ii 4. Unique experience in privatization in looking at alterna-
;.. tive methods and sources of financing.

This team obviously has had a great deal of first hand experience
in master sewer planning and have completed many similar projects
of somewhat smaller scope. We have broad axperience which include
master sewer planning, computer modeling of sewer sizing, verifi-
cation of future expansion of the wastewater system, hands-on
sewer field investigation and verification, hydraulic analysis
and mapping, establishinq operational procedures and policy,
and experience with fiscal responsibilii:y for all entities
involved.
, We believe that the team assembled to participate on this pro-
'_ posed project offers the unique opportunity to the City of
Iowa City to review the various reports and work done to date

TEAM MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIOt7
�9hile the majority of the work on this particular project is of
an engineering nature, other areas of expertise tiere felt necessary
and desirable for the satisfactory completion of this study.
DGR's own staff, as evidenced in Tab 1 of this proposal, would
do the majority of the engineering and architectural analysis
relative to collections, systems and plant facilities.
A review of the construction schedulinq, phasing and costing would
be accomplished by Norm Riis of Story Construction Co. His expert
knowlege of material, systems, costs and scheduling as evidenced
on past wastewater treatment facilities will be extremely bene-
ficial. Story Construction Co. has worked well �aith DGR in the
past as evidenced by the recent 550 bed prison extension at the
Mount Pleasant Treatment Campus.
Belin, Harris, Helmick, Heartney and Tesdell has worked with DGR
on several projects including municipal funding of physical
improvements as well as application for innovative funding techniques
for mixed use facilities. Their knowledge and experience in
assisting muncipalities in funding innovative construction £acilities
and/or contracting for such improvements and the operations thereof
can be extremely beneficial to all team members. Recent projects
at Humboldt evidenced the ability of the firms to work together to
provide an innovative iunding solution to a community's needs.
The overall team of design professionals will be managed by DGR
Team Members Ed Cable and Tom Wall in a way as to provide the best
possible result in the least possible time well within the time
constraints outlined in your request for proposal. Organizing
multi-disciplined team will provide a smooth flow of information
through the project manager and project coodinator from and to
the City of Iowa City. our recent work for the State of Iocaa on
several major projects both in wastewater treatment field as well
as in the corrections field evidence our ability to properly commu-
nicate and maintain project schedules and budqets within the
clients wishes.

-MUNICIPAL WASTEW. 'ER TREATMENT FACIt 'ES
NEW ULM, MINNESOTA
'n 19G8, tho Cily ol New Ulm, Minnesota began a major ImprovemeN
�rogram lo upgradu the City's wastewater collecllon, treatmen� and
disposal syslem, 7he program's abjectivn was to raise treetment
levols lor municipal and induslrial wastes, and lo help protect tho
-+nviranmeNal stabilily ol the picturesque Minnesota and Cottonwood
iiver Valleys.
Tho totai program, as developed lor Ihe City by DGR's Environmenla�
Engineering Departmenl, included conslruction o( several now
iewerage lines, Uvo new lill stations and an advanced wastewater
reatmenl planL The new Ireatment plant, which was completed in
1975, replaced an outmoded Irickling lilter plant built In 1939. The
older plant was unable lo comply with new eltluent discharge
regulations and did not have the capability to meet Ihe needs ol New
llm's expanding commercial, residential antl induslrlal communilies.
Construclion work on the new Ireatment plant began in January, 1973
lollowing an eztensive program ol llow measurement, wasto load
analysis and laeility design. The new lacility cost apprazimalely
S5,580,000 to construct and was Iinanced Ihrough grants Irom Ihe
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ihe Mlnnesota P011ution Con-
irol Agency and by the Cily ol New Ulm,
Treatment Process
The New Ulm Treatment Facility uses a complete mix, aclivated sludge
treatment process. Tha process was selected because (t olfered the
Cily the most economical treatment method while allowing mezi-
mum operational Ilexibility.

Special Design Provisions
The Cify ol New Ulm has for many years maintalned a combined
wastewatcr and storm tlrainage sewer system. In ihe last 30 years,
Ihe City has undc�taken a program ta separale these syslems at
all new construclion locations and in several ezisling residential areas.
The com6ined syslems. however, still aperate in tho City'S ceMral
business Gislri�t and in several nearby residenlial areas. The
Irealment plant was designed to trcal the combined (lows duAng
normal peak Ilow periotls but not Ihe extreme Ilows occurrine� during
periods ol high slorm walcr runoll.
The plant design anticipated a ralher high flucluation of hydraulic
loading. This problem was solved by DGR engineers using open,
gravity Ilow channels thwughoul Ihe plant
The new Irealment planl is designed lo ireat wastes from an ozlensivo
industrial community. Rapidly doveloping Naw Ulm industry eccounts
lor over 30% ol Ihe hydraulic toading and over 70% ol ozpucled
BOD, load at Ihe Ireatmenl planl. .
The acllvated sludgo process requires (return ol) a hlgh percentago
ol setlled biological solids lo the aeralion tanks lor propur seoding
ol ihe incoming raw wasle. This is the key to lho activatod
sludge process. Because ol the wide Ilucluation in hydraulic Ioading
al New Ulm, Ihis return aclivaled sludge laclor was o critical variablo.
DGR en9incers ulilized two specially developed, IWe-loot dlameter,
auger lype pumping units to meet tho high Ilow roqulromonts of
Iho return activaletl sludge. Theso units havo a eombinnd cnpacity
of 9,000 gallons per minute and can return Irom zoro to 750 porecnt
ol Ihc incoming plant Ilow. This provides Ihe plant opa�alor with
completa Ilexibilily over a wide range ol hydraulic and wasle Ioading
canditions,
To allset Iho adverse ellects of cold weather on Iho Ilnal clarilicntion
proce5s, Ihe two 65 lool diameler cl�riliers wefe onclosed wilh
liberglass covers. The covers help retain tho clarilier tank's Iiquid
warmth nnd pravnnl winter ieing condilions.
Process piping, electrical and communicntian Iines, aro rou�ed
through undcrground piping Iunnels. 7hc 8' �vide by 71' hlgh tunnels
link Iho malor Irealment tanks and provido easy access to all Ilnes
and valves lor mainlenance and repair aperations.
Normal planl operalion is conlrolled Ihrough a central conlrol consolo

; iWASTEWATER TREE.. ,V1ENT PLANT
i '"'YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA
'� When Yankton, Saulh Dakota upgraded its waste trealmen! Iaclllties in
'1975, the ciry assumed that its waste ireatment problems were at an end lor
""'many years to come. Actually, the most seriaus problems were �usl begio-
ning,
The city had installed a relativety new Activated Blo-Filter (ABF) system
���- a slacked arrengemont ol redwood paliots lor supporting growih ol micro-
—organisms - Ihat was supposed to satisly the discharge Ilmitations estab�
lished by the Environmenlal Protection Agency. However, Ihe ABF process
— was so new that it had not been Iully tesred and when Yankton's FBF began
�opera�ion, it could not reduce the waste strength sulliciently to conslstently
—meet EPA discharge Iimitalions. 8ecauso ol this, Yankton fell aloul of ihe
lederal standards.
. In an eflort to correc� ihe si�uation and ta comply with an enlorcement
action being imposed by EPA, Yanklon turned to OeWild Grant Reckert and
'Associatos Company ol Rock Rapids, Iowa, lorassistance in 7977. DGR res
ponded wilh a preliminary reporl ihat called lor construction to be carried
--out in two phases.
j The Orst phase is to correct the immediate probiems and to buiid a
—laellity that will be able to meet the dischar9e Ilmitations. The second
phase, whieh will be requlred in 1990, will increase the planl's wasle han-
iIing capacity to tho ultimale capability al the presenl site.
The most important item ol construction (n Phase I, which began In
�June 1980, is an aeration tank. It has been ostablished, slnceYankton's ABF
system was installed, that the ABF works best il lollowed by short•term
—aerallon. Wi�lt Ihe aeration tank, the ABF system will lunction much better
' Ahan It has and shoul0 reduce the waste strength lo a level below EPA sten-
_�dards.
The aeration tank Is somewhat uniqua in Ihal lhe deplh ol operation is
—�variable. When Ihe ABF Is operating, ihe depih in Ihe aeration tank will be
set at about 75 �eet. When ihe ABF is not operating, es would be �he case il
—�il were �aken out ol service lor repair wark, Ihe depth In �he aeration tank
will bo increasetl to 201ee1. This added dopth will increase sewage doten-
.—�Ilon time and; when coupled with an increasn in alr supplled to �hn lank,

should also be able to moet Ihe discharge Ilmltetlons. In ihis fashion the
plant would be aperating essentlally as an aclivated sludge rype lacility.
Another unique leature aboul ihe aeratlon tank is Ihat il will be bullt araund
the linal clarllier whlch will result in benefits Irom Ihe common wall con-
struction as well as minimizing heat loss.
Among other items related to this project in which DGR is Involved are:
1. A building to house the pumps and blowers lor lhe aerallon t�nk;
2. A new Inlet pretreatment builtling to replace an exlsting siructure;
3. A laboratory•ollice building built last yearwhlch canlains lha master
control center for Ihe entire waste Ireatment planC
4. Remodeling ol an ezisting pump building which will Include not aniy
new chlorinalion lacili�ies but also a non�potable water system that will
utilize Irealed wastewater far walering tho grounds, washing down
various lacilities at the plant and olher miscellaneous uses; and
5. Increased sludge digeslion and handling capabillties in the plant.
However, a number ol options regarding this situalion are being studied
and the best option has not yet been determined.
Certain porlions of the Phase I improvemenls ulilize what EPA con-
sltlers to be alternalive lechnology. This lar9ely includes the slutl9e han-
dling facilllies and entitles approximately hall ol ihe projeet to an additional
ten percent In granllunding.
The sludge produced will be digested anaero6ically and used even-
luai�y in egriculture applications. The gas produced In the digesters will be
used lor digesler heatin9 as is commonly done but the excess wlll be used
to run a gas•fired motor•generetor set Instead ol being burned oll. This will
enable Ihe Iacility ta provide a porlion of its own electrlcal power requtre-
ments and reduce operating cosis.
As with many projecls, DGR is not designing new Iecililies Irom scratch
but addillonal Iacililies lo supplemeN those elready in existence. In the
case ol ihe wasto ireatment planl, lhe new Iacilities must complement and
be compatible with Iacllilies designed previously by other engineers. Also,
the proposed construction must be accomplished in such a manner thal lhe
ozlsting Iacilities can cdnlinue to operate during ihe conslruclion period.

MUNICIPAL WASTE' - �TER TREATMENT PL .NT
ROCK RAPIDS, IO�VA
#'; � x%• "_ �' t�
t
In June 1979, the cily ol Rock Rapids. lowa became the lirst inunici•
pality in the United States to operate a lull-scale wastewaler treatment plant
utilizing packetl bed reactors �PBR'sL The awartl•winning design Ipr the
planl had been Gevelope0 by DGR's Environmental Engineering Depart-
men�.
The planl hatl bem originally bwlt in 1953 antl met the needs ol the
lown o12.800 people unlil ihe early 1970s. At Ihat time. the plant was still in
gootl operating contlilion bul various state agencies adopted new regula-
tions lor e111uen1 quahty an0 also reclassllietl Ihe Rock River as a vmrm
water lishing stream, which requiretl the removal ol substantial amounts of
ammonia lrom the sewage prior to tlischarge in the river.
lNhile studying various sewagc planl tlesigns, DGR became aware of
research being contlucled al lowa State University in the fieltl ol lillretion ol
biological ellNenls. T�is research was geared toward developing a cost
ellective means ol upgratling ezisting trickling lilter type lacilities in cir-
cumslances where new waler quality crileria would tlictate substantial
...: removals ol various pollutants, inclutlmg ammonia. In short. lhis describetl
the situalion at Rock Rapitls.
Allhough DGR had initially tlesignetl the renovatetl plant to use Rotat-
ing Biological Contaclors Iv�hich were in use at other DGFi-designetl
lacilities�, the plans were scrapped antl the system that was developetl by
ISU, using Ihe PBRs, was adopted.
Throughout the design ol lhe 51.2 million projecl, emphasis was placetl
on utilizing Ihe enisling plant componen�s tluring antl aller Ihe renova�ion
and praclically all componenls were reused in some manner in the reno-
vated plant. , •
In addition to the operational aspects ol the prolect. DGR engineers
andtlesigners also paid allention to architeclurally 6lentling Ihe ne�vlycon-
slmctetl comPonenls wilh those ihat were ezisting bclore the renovalion
look place.
The projecl received the top award lor tlesign ezcellence in engineer-
ing lor 1979 in competition held by the Consulling Engineers Council ol

Treatment' Process
Sewage is collecteC at the cily's Tama Street lilt slation and Ihen
Iransported ulilizing conlinuously operaling variable speed pumps lo the
trealmenl plant localed on the east bank ol Ihe Rock River, approaimately
three•quarters of a mile east ol town. The rew sewage is com•eyed to a prim-
ary clarilier where Iloating and seUleable solids are removetl. The Ilow is
then splil and tlivened into Bvo 70' diameter Irickling filters ol cornentional
Cesign. Following inlermeCiate clarilicalion,the sewage Ilow is pumpetl to
Ihe packeG hetl reactors.
Each PBR. also ca!letl a paklor. is an 1B' high by 23' diameter steel lank
containing porous media supported over an inlel chamber lhrough which
the inlluent wastewater is tlistributed. Air is passed upward thmugh the unit
trom an air distritution gritl located immetlialely below Ihe boUom ol the
media bed. This mode of operation resulis in a high degree ol biological
elliciency. INasle �emoJal ocwrs rapidry in Ihe lower levels of lhe bed
where both substrate and 6iological solids are presenl in high concenlra-
tions. As the waste flows lhrough successive layers ol media, organic mat•
ter is mmovetl coMinuously by the biological solids ihat are active in each
layer. The solids produced in the lirst regions of conlact a�e worked upward
by Ihe action ol hydraulic lilting and Ilota�ion.
�uring Ihis period, ihese solitls aclively accomplish lurther waste �
removal. Near the top ol the betl. biological decay of accumulatetl
microorganisms can exceed the rale ol solids synthesis. By lhis lime. Ihe
ellluenl liquid is highly purified and the suspendetl solids remaining in the
ellluem consist largely of dead celis which are not subject to lurlher decay.
The e111uen1 Irom the PBRs then Ilows Ihrou9h three gravily lilters and
then throu9h a chlorine contact tank where it is chlorinated belore.teing
discharged into Ihe Rock River. All grit and sludge �hat is separetetl at the
primary clarilier is pumped into two aerobic Cigeslers to be stabilized and is
ihen hauled ou� lo larmland.
Special Features
Throu9hout Ihe design ol Ihe plan6 greal emphasis was placed on Ihe
ulilization ol exisling plant components. The enlire existing Iacililies.`a�d d
ihan slutlge tlrying betls. were reused in some manner in the upg
pl.nL The primary clarilier was reconstrucled and outlitted with a new
mechanism.
Both tricklinq liltars were rehabilitated Ihrough removal ol Ihe rock
tricklin9 liller media. extensive repair and rehahihtalion ol the undeiJrain
syslem, replacemenl ol �hc rock and equipping Ihe lil�crs wllh new dislriUu-
tion arms. The lilters were also covered eNirely with reinlo¢ed liberglass
covers which help mainlain higher wastewater IemperaNms Guring winler
periotls. The �inal clarilier was restored, Ii1teA wilh new equipment and put•
into use in the up9ratled facility ta serve as an intermediale settlinc�
device. The plant was desiqned to operate with Ihe intermediate clarilier;
however, regulalory agencies insistetl on its continued use in Ihe upgraded

Special Design Features
The Emmetsburg Treatment PIan1 incorporalos several specialized
design leatures which were developed by DGR to solve individual
epplications problems.
All inlet works and preliminary trealmenl processes oro housod
within a specially designad porlion ol ihe main troatmont building.
This was accomplished by using static screens ralher lhan large
primary clariliers. Carelul analysis also showed that Ihe smeller screen
assembly was more cost elleclive lor the Emmatsburg plant than
clariliers.
oy enctosing all prelimiwry and m�in Ireatment processes within Ihu
Ireatment buildin9, iho Emmetsburg Iacility avoided Ihe overell
appearance associated wilh conventional treatment plants. This also
minimized any olfensive odor problems which might discourage

Special Plant Features
The Ida Grove Ireatment plant incor0orates several specialized
design leatures wnich were Jevetoped by DGR to solv� individual ap•
plication problems.
Aeration in a two�com0arlmenl tank open lo Ihe atmosphere with
wet hauling ol the digesled sludge to a9riculWral land was designed lor
the plant to accomplish stabilaation ol 1he solids removed by the
clarification process and biological grov+lh protluced duriny the RBC
process. This design resulls in a well stabilizetl slutlge wilh minimal
plant operator conlrol requiremenls and minimal eQuipment and piping
requirements. The air blowers lor the aerobic Aigestion process were
designed to also provide air lo the grit removal chamber, Ihese blowers
are housed in a sepaiate Uuried slrucWre along v+ith the diqested
slutlge pumps, resulting in minimal building construdion tor these
units.
Carelul analysis showed a single primary clarilier (with static
screen br backup purposes) to be Ihe most ellective primary trealmenl
method lor the Ida Grove plan�. Usmg the slatic screen in a backup
capacily provitles mazimum solids removal without requiring the com
struclion ol a tluplica�e primary clarifier.
A specially designetl, high capacity, ventilation system was
developed by DGR's mechanical enyineers to conlrol Ihe hiqh humidity
levels normally associated with RBC processes. Increased levels ol
Iresh air vemilalion antl air movement are concentrated In the RBC
room. Normal heating, ventilatian and air conditioning levels are maln•
tained throughout Ihe remainder ol the main building.

IV TECFINICAL APPROACH
Iowa City has requested the services of a consulting engineer
to review the status of their wastewater treatment program and a number
of alternatives that have been considered.. There are presently seven
alternatives included in the Summary of Alternatives, one proposed by
Dague and Kimm in their July 27, 1933 proposal and one (improvement aad
expansion of the existing treatment system) requested by the City
Manager in the April 10, 1984 Request for Proposals. Additional
altecnatives may be considered appropriate during t6is evaluation. We
proposed to take the following approach to this study.
1. Review design assumptions and projections used for each stage
of development that has not been constructed since a numbec of years
Lave passed since design began.
2. Review and/or detecmine industrial development plans for the
present and future industries in Iowa City for consistency with above
projections.
3. Review all reports prepared by engineering and financial
consultants including:
a) Infiltration/Inflow Analysis, November 1976.
b) Sewer System Evaluation Survey, May 1979.
c) Privatization Study - Arthur Young, October 1963.
d) Proposal for P6ased Development - Daque and Kimm, May
1983
e) Sewer and Treatment Plant plans and specifications.
4. Review City financial status, public and private financing
options, bond alternatives and sewer charges.
5. Review condition of existing facilities and pcesent and
projected 0&M procedures and costs.
6. Perform value engineering on all existing designs to determine
if savings can be effected.
7. Evaluate costs for any of the 9 alternatives that could meet
City objectives.
8. Determine if any other alternatives are more cost effective
and environmentally sound.

9. Determine costs to City and sewer chacgea requiced for most
feasible alternative using public and private financing options.
10. Perform sensitivity analyses on critical assumptions in both
public and private financing options.
11. Determine above coets and charges for second most feasible
optioa.
12. Prepare preliminary reports including:
a) detailed description of proposed facilities;
b) schedule of development;
c) cost estimates;
d) design modificatians recommended for existing plans and
specificatione;
e) financial options and yearly estimate of costs and charges
associated with each.
This report would include a master plan incorporating the time
schedules consieteat with City goals and a corresponding cash flow
analysis for the most feasible and second most feasible alternatives'.
The master plan would allow a clear understanding of the program objec-
tives, the schedule which must be met to reach these objectives, the
magnitude and timing of the necessary financial committmeats, and the
effects of the plan on pollution cantrol and sewer charges in Iowa City.
13. Prepare final report incorporating recommended modifications.
While not shown above, Sverdrup will meet with IDEQ to review Cheir pre-
sent aad future fundiag strategy. We will also maintain a close contact
with Mr. Schmadeke, Director of Public Works, and plan on briefing and
consulting with him at critical points during the study.

V PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT
The key strength of Sverdrup Corporation in the financial area
is its flexibility and capability of evaluating fivancial alternatives.
Its experience in the field permits Sverdcup to a¢alyze a project and
tailor a fivance plan to meet project needs. Where appropriate, a
project may be ovmed by a general limited partnership, a joint venture
with a financial institution, a municipality itself, or even the corp-
oration. Likewise, when money is borrowed, it may be from the public or
from a private financial institution such as an insurance company, bank,
or savings and loan. Depending upon the needs and qualities of the
project, it may be financed with tax exempt debt or a traditional
moctgage.
1. Conventioa Plaza, St. Louis
Through its SPIRE subsidiary, Sverdrup has been the developer
of a 16-square-block area located on the immediate north side of Down-
town St. Louis. In the early 1970's, Sverdrup developed a comprehensive
redevelopment plan for the area working in conjunction with the city
government. Among the projects included in the development are:
° The St. Louis Conventioa Center, which occupies a four-
square-block area in the heart of the Convention Plaza Devel-
opment. After one bond issue to finance the project had been
rejected by the St. Louis voters, Sverdrup Corporation worked
closely with city officials in order to develap an alternative
source of project funding. The project, which is owned by the
City of St. Louis, was eventually financed with the proceeds
of a bond issue approved by the voters in 1972. Work oa the
$35M complex started in 1974, and the Center opened in June of
1977. Since its opening, the St. Louis Conventiou Center has
become the hub of additional redevelopment efforts in tde
nocth side of the city involving a number of developers in
addition to Sverdrup.
° The Sheraton St. Louis Hotel immediately east of the Con-
vention Center was developed by Sverdrup Corporation. The
17-story hotel coatains 615 guest rooms in addition to a
restaurant and bar, night club, 12 meeting rooms, aad a
12,000-square-foot grand ballroom. The project is owned by a
limited partaership, the general partner of which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of SPIRE Corporation. The total project cost
is $20 million.
° The Radisson-St. Louis Hotel is on t6e immediate west side of
the Convention Center. T6is five-story, 300-room hotel is
owned by a limited partnership, the general partner of which
is a wholly owned subsidiary of SPIRE Corporatioa. The pro-
ject, which opened in early 1981, was constructed at a total
cost of $14.5 million with equity privately placed and
mortgage privately negotiated with an insurance company.

o Three Sverdrup financed office buildings offering more than
300,000 square feet of office space to local tenants. A
variety of finaucing tecttniques was used to develop these
projects. One of the buildings is an equity Joint Venture
between a wholly owned Sverdrup subsidiary and the subsidiary
of a local Savings and Loan association. The second building
is owned by a general limited partnership subject to a tradi-
tional mortgage privately negotiated with a life insurance
company. The third building is owned by a general limited
partnership that financed through the use of industrial de-
velopment bonds.
o Two permanent garage-type facilities providing spaces for
1,200 automobiles. One of these garages, which is presently
under construction, will be owned by a wholly owued subsidiary
of the Corporation and financed by the use of industrial
development bonds.
All told, over $90 million of development has been financed in the
Convention Plaza area to date. The Convention Plaza development is
based upon the concept of placing a suburban office park development
including green areas and open spaces in an inner city setting.
Financing on the project has been arranged by Sverdrup througk a number
of different entities and the utilization of a number of different
financing techniques, emphasizing flexibility in financing and the
ability to utilize alternative approaches dictated by the project needs.

Land Clearance for Redevelopment
2. Riverpoct, St. Louie
,� As development and activity in the Convention Plaza area winds
down, Sverdrup has begun development activities on a different type of
�-' project located on a 500-acre paxcel of western St. Louis County,
Missouri. ,The project, which is located in the flood plain of the
' Missouri River, will require the construction of a levee around the
� project site. Placement of project financing is awaiting approval of
levee construction plans by the Corps of Engineers. The development
will consist of a 370-acre office/industrial park, the first phase of
which will be a 37-acre development including 200,000 square feet of
— retail space, 140,000 square feet of office space, and 200,000 square
feet of rail-served industrial property. The financial plan for the
development calls for the formation of a general limited partnership
�- which will own the pcoperty and finance improvements through a com-
bination of industrial development bonds and traditional mortgage
financing. Industrial development bonds will be used to finance infra-
_ structure improvements. Traditional mortgages will be used to finance
construction of the improvements.

3. Hydroelectric Power Pla¢ts
Sverdrup has long been a leader in the design and construction
maaagemeat of hydroelectric powe= plants. The tax incentives provided
by the 1981 Economic Recovery Act provided great impetus to the develop-
ment of hydroelectric facilities. Sverdrup has prepared complete
finanacial and tec6nical feasibility studies for 30 such projects and
currently has two projects, one in California and one in New York in the
active stage of private development, awaiting environmental approvals.

VI INNOVATION
Sverdrup has directed its expertise to innovation in both the
public and private sectors. In the private sector this has resulted in
patented air pollution control tec6niques, novel designs of wind tunnels
for automobile and engine testing and improved methods of ore
processing. In the public sector we have developed methods for reducing
construction time and costs, and used innovative treatment techaology in
a number of instances. Only these latter cases are discussed here.
1. Infrared Thecmography - lfetropolitan St. Louis Sewer District
Sverdrup conducted a research and demonstration effort for the
Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) to pinpoint voids around
sewers before they lead to major collapses. Our engineers developed an
experimental approach which involved: a) selection of a potential
problem area for study; b) visual inspection of sewers by a crawl crew;

2. Waetewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Palm Coast, Florida -
Palm Coast Utility Corporation
An expanded 1.6-mgd wastewater treatment plant in Palm Coast,
Florida, uses a unique system of concentric infiltration ponds for
effluent disposal. Sverdrup designed both the treatment plant expansion
and the new effluent disposal system.
Compared to effluent disposal by spray irrigation, the new
system: absorbs effluent loads seven times greater (per squaee foot);
requires far less land; and uses substantially less power for pumping.
The new effluent disposal system consists of three concenttic
high-rate infiltration ponds, located on a hill to achieve the maximum
hydraulic gradient. By taking advantage of the natural topography,
Sverdrup's design reduced earthmoving requirements and construction
costs. The pond system, which allows an average hydraulic Loading rate
of 4.6 inches per day, operates on a two-week cycle. During the first
week, effluent is pumped into the ponds; during the second week, it
drains into the soil. When drainage is complete, pond soil is worked
with a disc to help soil organisms digest the effluent.
Some effluent is pumped to a modified spray irrigation system
covering 62.8 acres. Design improvements to this system increased its
hydraulic loading rate from 2 to 5 inches per week, while reducing
operating pressure to save energy.

3. Expansion of the Kanapaha Wasteaater Treatmeat Pl�nt,
Gainesville, Florida - City of Cainesville
Due to the steady and rapid growth of the City of Gainesville
in cecent yeacs, the City's Kanapaha Wastewater Treatment Plant,
completed in November 1977, is projected to reach its 7.0 mgd design
capacity by late 1983 to mid-1984. The Kanapaha plant currently
provides modified advanced wastewater treatment (AWf) with effluent
disposal by way of groundwater recharge wells into the Floridan aquifer.
Because of the uacertainty of current federal and state
regulations concerning gxound water protection, it was concluded that
continued effluent disposal by ground water recharge wells was not a
pcudent long-term alternative. However, it was estimated that the time
required to complete the necessary studies, design, and construction of
an alteraative long-term effluent disposal method would be a minimum of
three to five years. Therefore, it was decided by the City to implement
a short-term option of expanding the Kanapaha plant to 10.0 mgd of AWT
capacity with continued discharge to the existing ground water recharge
wells. The plant compoaents required for the 10.0 mgd expaasion will be
utilized in a future planned expansion to 14.0 mgd secondary treatment,
consistent with the long-term planning objectives for the Kanapaha
plant.
The interim expansion to the plant consists of iacreasing its
design capacity from 7 mgd to 10 mgd. Treatment will be by a
combination anoxic/aerobic activated sludge process to achieve a
biological removal of carbonaceous BOD and nitrogen. Additional
suspended solids and nitrogen removal will be accomplished by passing
the secondary effluent through the txisting DENITE filters. Efflueat
disposal will continue to be by deep well injection. The effluent must
meet Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Standards and ���onthly BOD,
suspended solids, and total nitrogen limitations of 10, 10, and 5 mg/1,
respectively.

approach, the project moved from the proposal stage to the beginning of
construction in less than two months, a critical factor in its timely
completion. Design/build enabled construction to begin while final
design was still under way.
The new plaat augments a❑ existing treatme¢t system that was
becaming inadequate to meet the needs of Alton's service area consisting
of 40,000 residents, businesses, and industrial concerns. The 5 mgd
added by the new facility increases the capacity by a third, and will
meet area needs through the year 2000.
Sverdrup installed three vertical turbine pumps for raw water
intake and two 42-foot-diameter helical floa reactor clarifiers.
Transfer pumps deliver water from the filtration system to the
one-million-gallon finished water storage tank. Numerous chemical feed
systems are also part of the treatment plant. They i¢clude coagulant
polymer, liquid alum, powered activated carbon, liquid caustic,
chlorine, fluoridation, bentonite, and potassium�psrma cont olsfeeand

5. Regioaal Sewerage Improvement Program, Eugene/Springfield,
Oregon - Hetropolitan Wastewater Manageme�t Commission
The Metropolitan Wastewater Manageme¢t Commission was created
specifically to develop a metropolitan sewerage system for the
Eugene/Springfield area. The improved system, to be completed in 1965,
will serve 277,000 residents in a 100-square-mile area. Because of the
new agency's small staff and lack of construction and operating
expexience, it chose a pxoject management approach for the sewerage
impiovement program. After a nationwide selection process, the
commission retained a joint venture of Sverdrup with Brown and Caldwell,
named HCS, to manage design and construction of the entire project.
As project manager, BCS has drawn up and is implementing a
project management plan which includes construction strategies,
schedules, and cash flow projections. BCS is also providing such
construction management services as: administration of design and
construction contracts; financial and engineering reviews of desigas;
bid management; construction surveillance; assistance with eavironmental
impact assessments; and monthly progress reports. In all, BCS is
responsible for the management of seven design, finnncial, and value
engineering consultants; more than 30 construction contracts; and 40
prepurchased equipment and material packages. To manage a program of
20
�-,
this magnitude cost effectively, Sverdrup developed a computerized
schedule and cost control system that provides Critical Path Network
Scheduling, Cash Flow Management, Records Management (iacluding a
microfilm project record system), a Real Estate Development Cost
Accounting System, Financial Modelling and Inventory Management.
The improved sewerage system will feature a new primary and
secondary treatment plant which will handle 66�000 ppd of biochemical
ouygea demand; 77,000 ppd of suspended solids; and flows of 49 mgd in
average dry weather, 70 mgd in average wet weather, aad 175 mgd in peak
wet weather. BCS also identified the benefits of a coordinated
insurance program for the entire project and assisted the owner in
securing passage of state legislation which permitted implementation of
this insurance program. Mticipated savings stemming from the insurance
program are $2 to 3 million. This, together with value engineering,
realized total savings of $10 million to the client.

6. Effluent Recycling in Wastewater Treatment - City of Fort
Heade, Florida
An innovative cost-saving Sverdrup design for a municipal
wastewater treatment plant permits effluent to be reused in phosphate
mining operations. The design made it possible for the Fort Meade,
Florida, treatmeat plant expansion to qualify for 85 percent federal
funding under EPA's Innovative/Alternative funding guidelines and to
avoid the cost of tertiary treatment.
The city of 5,000 people had two problems with its wastewater
" treatment operations. First, Fort Meade had outgrown its 0.5 mgd
wastewater treatment facilities and no new connections were allowed
i because of effluent violations. Second, with the passage of the 1972
— Federal Water Pollution Act and the 1977 Clean Water Act amendments, the
city was forbidden to continue its practice of discharging effluent into
the Peace River without additional costly advanced treatment.
Sverdrup was commissioned to assist in the preparation of a
, 201 Facility Plan and to provide final design and construction
inspection of the new facilities. The project involved the development
— of the most cost-effective method of treating and disposing of the
! city's wastewater over a 20-year planning period.
�
Under the 201 Plan, Sverdrup performed an infiltration/inflow
analysis and assisted in a public participation program. In a creative
approach to disposal, Sverdrup routed the wastewater under the Peace
River to a reuse pond at a phosphate mine approximately two miles from
the plant. EPA encourages such untried recycling measures with
additional funding under its Innovative/Alternative guideline. Effluent
is contained in the pond and used as process water in the mining
operations which require approximately 80 mgd.

- Convention Plaza Client: Sverdrup Services:
St. Louis, Missouri Convention Plaza Real estate deve�opment,
Redevelopment Corp master plan, design,
__ property management
Sverdrup has been the prime mover in a major
effort to redevelop the Convention Plaza area,
— a 12•block, 21-acre urban renewal project just
north of the central business district in SL Louis.
The project area surrounds a new convention
center large enough to handle 90 percent of
all U.S. conventions. The development includes
low-rise oHice buildings, major hateis, parks,
fountains, and modern parking garages.
The convention center is the hub of the develop-
ment. Sheraton and Radisson hotels flank it on
either side. A suburban-style office park develop-
ment creates a relaxed business environment
— with open space, lawns, and trees. It also pro-
, vides prime downtown office space at econom-
ical rates. The development area achieves an
eHective contrast with the conventional high-
rise buitdings of the central business district.
The project development has occurred in a
— remarkably short time, despite a mixed financial
climate. The city's four-square•block Cervantes
Convention Center and the 17-story Sheraton
Hotel opened in the same year. Both occupy
` the eastern end of the plaza area. The three•
story 143,000•sq•ft 801 North Eleventh office
building and adjacent 460•car parking garage,
both at tfie west end of the Plaza area, were com-
pleted two years later. The 300•room Radisson
Hotel lies just west of the Convention Center.
The three-story 63,000-sqdt 910 North Eleventh
-- oHice building is just west o( the Radisson, on
the north side of the Plaza. Sverdrup designed
all the Plaza buildings, and was contractor for
the office buildings. It also master planned and
— provided engineering services (or the Conven-
tion Center. Additiona� buildings and parking
facilities are planned.
One measure o( the project's success is the
amount of new construction generated in the
areas around the Plaza itself. The new St. Patrick's
Church flanking the Convention Center on the
north serves a new Catholic parish. Also on the
Plaza s norih border and just west of ihe new

church is Columbus Square, a major low-rise
apartment and townhouse development that
will ullimately have 331 rental apartments and
100 condominiums in suburban•style buildings.
Sverdrup designed a 6,300-sq-ft, one-story
package express building on the east edge of
the Plaza which is leased to Greyhound. Im•
mediately to the eas[, Laclede's Landing has
developed into a leading entertainment, office,
and shopping area.
Sverdrup's development concept (or the area
is based on a public-private partnership, with
the city of St. Louis owning the Convention
Center, and private interests developing the
surrounding 12-block area.
The Convention Plaza Redevelopment Corpore-
lion (CPRC) was formed by Sverdrup and seven
other private firms. The other stockholders are
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.; Bank of
St. Louis ; Centerre Bank; Mercantile Trust
Company N.A.; Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company; Stix, Baer & Fuller, a Division of
Associated Dry Goods Corporation; and the
Union Electric Company.
CPRC and the city of SL Louis jointly contracted
to develop the area, using a master plan pre-
pared by Sverdrup as the development blue-
print. The city agreed to build the four•square-
block convention center, revise certain streets
and utilities, and clear the surrounding 12-block
area; and CPRC agreed to buy and develop the
cleared 12•biock area.
Sverdrup is the Convention Plaza development
manager, and has coordinated the master plan•
ning and development with local and regiona�
planning agencies and the investment com-
munity. It has, and is, providing market analyses
and marketing direction for the individual proj•
ects. It also formed independent ownership
entities (or each building, and generated the
financing. Sverdrup manages the completed
oHice buildings and monitors the hotels for
the owners.
Water Treatment Plant
Alton, Illinois
Design/build from Sverdrup piayed a crucial
role in the delivery, in less than a year, of a new
5•mgd water treatment plant expansion for the
Alton Water Company.
With the design�build approach, the project
moved from the proposal stage to the beginning
of construction in less than two months, a criti-
cal factor in its timely completion. Design/build
enabled conslruction to begin whi�e final design
was stil� under way.
Working within a limited capital budget, Sverdrup
used value engineering techniques to analyze
several possible water treatment systems and
configurations and select the most costeffective.
The plant addition thus offered the best cost/
benefit results for design, construction, and
operation, saving Alton Water Company about
25 percent under the estimated costs for imple•
menting its preliminary design concept.
The new plant augments an existing lrealment
system that was becoming inadequate to meet
the needs of Alron's service area consisting of
40,000 residents, businesses, and industrial
concerns. The five million gallons per day added
by the new faci�ity increases the capacity by a
third, and will meet the areas needs through
the year 2000.
The design/build approach enabled Sverdrup
to provide a guaranteed cost and a completion
schedu�e at the outset, both vital in a project
with an 11•month timetable. Other project con-
straints included a winter construction period
and �he planl's localion in lhe Mississippi River
flood plain.
An existing building was expanded to house
part of the new equipment, while the remainder
was located in a new structure.
In lhe existing slructure Sverdrup inslalled lhree
verlical lurbine pumps reted at lwo, three, and
four mgd for raw water intake. The first two

four mgd pump provides the system with the
additional flexibility needed to operate at a flow
rate of up to seven million gallons per day. ,_.
Sverdrup installed two helical flow reactor clari- •
fiers, manufactured by Walker Process Corp.,
for the clari(ier system. Detention period for ��-�
the design process flow is 56 minutes. Forty-
two feet in diameter, the cone-shaped clarifiers ''
are installed above•grade with a self-supporting
aluminum roof system. ' '
The mixed•media filter (using the "Greenleaf"
control concept) is designed for a filtretion rate
of 3.75 gpm/sq. ft. with all cells in service.
Surface wash duretion is one to three minutes, —
and backwash duretion is five to 10 minutes.
Transfer pumps rated at 2, 3, and 4 mgd (seiected
to match the capacity of the raw water pumps) —
deliver water from the filtration system to the
finished water storage tank. The welded-steel
tank, 68 feet in depth, has a design storage
capacity of one million gallons. The top of the
tank's foundation is loca[ed above the Ievel of
the flood of record, meeting state regulations.
Two new horizontal pumps are a part of the
treatment system. The first, reted at 5,000 gpm, �
is a supplemental backwash pump for use when
the storage tank level is insufficient to provide —
necessary filter backwash head. The second is
a 3 mgd high-service pump which supplements
two existing high service pumps and is used for
sending treated water to the distribution system. —
Numerous chemical feed systems are also part
of the treatment planL They include coagulant
polymer, liquid alum, powered activated carbon,
iiquid caustic, chlorine, fluoridation, bentonite,
and potassium permanganate feeds. Each has
the appropriate tankage, piping, pumps, con- —
trols, and associated equipment.
The entire plant was on-line only 11 months after
proposal—a period which represents less than `
lial( the time normally required for such projects.

RegionalSewerage
Improvement Program
Eugene/Springfield, Oregon
� The Metropolitan Wastewater Management
Commission was created speci(ically to develop
— a metropo�itan sewerage system for the
Eugene/Springfield area, including parts of
unincorporated Lane County. Because of the
new agency's small staff and lack of
construction and operating experience, it
chose a project management approach for the
sewerage improvement program. After a
nationwide selection process, the commission
retained a joint venture of Sverdrup with
Brown and Caldwell, named BCS, to manage
design and construction of the entire project.
The existing sewerage system serves 130,000
—' people, and does not extend ro unincorporeted
areas. The improved system, to be completed in
��' 1985, will serve 277,000 residenls in a
100-sq-mi area.
. As project manager, BCS has drewn up and is
implementing a project management plan
.— which includes construction strategies, sched-
ules, and cash (low projections. BCS is also
� providing these construction management
services:
— • administration of design and construction
contracts
• financial and engineering reviews of designs
• bid management

In all, BCS is responsible for the management
of seven design, financial, and value engineering
consultants; more Ihan 30 construction con-
tracts; and 40 prepurchased equipment and
material packages.
The improved sewerege system will feature a
new primary and secondary treatmenl planl
which will reuse some components o( an

In addition, aging sewers in Eugene and
Springfield will undergo rehabilitation to

During design reviews, BCS identified savings
that offset its project management fee. BCS
worked with the owner, a design consultant
and government agencies to revise lhe treatment
plant design, eliminating tertiary tilters and
improving the flexibility of the aeration system,
which saved 54.5 mi�lion. A BCS recommenda-
tion to use on-site gravel for backfilling saved
S600,000. Additional savings realized through
value engineering totalled S10 million.
BCS also identified the benefits of a
coordinated insurence program for the entire
project and assisted the owner in securing
passage o( state legislalion which permitted
implementation of lhis insurance proyram.
Anticipated savings stemming from tlie
insurance program are S2 to 3 million.
Sverdrup-developed compuler programs are
used to control cost and schedule, as well as

Municipal Wastewater

Sverdrup was selected over 19 other
consultants in an EPA-(unded pilot study to
measure the effectiveness and cost of private
consultants in improving the performance of
municipal wastewater treatment plants that are
not meeting discharge requirements. Based on
this and similar pilot programs, the EPA can
determine the feasibility of municipalities
upgrading plant performance through the use
of private operations consultants.
The study was prompted by reports to
Congress indicating that as many as 50
percen� of newly constructed municipal
treatment facilities are not meeting design
standards for quality of effluent being
discharged. One of the major reasons cited for
this poor record was lack of proper operation
and management of the new systems.

Sverdrup's role in the three-phase study began
with providing on•site review of three municipal
plants chosen by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources and considered to be
representative of plants having diNiculties
meeting eNluent requirements. Sverdrup
studied the design, staffing, budget, manage-
ment attitudes, and opereting techniques of
each. Phase I concluded with Sverdrup's report
outlining recommendations for improvements
to each plant. Each of the three plants was
found to have distinctly different problems.
Phase II entaiied six months of operations
assistance and on-site instruction at one plant,
including implementation of Sverdrup's initial
recommendations on a priority basis.
A member of the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources will follow up in Phase III
with a visit to this plant and, with a Sverdrup
operations expert, will assess the effectiveness
of the pilot program. Accomplishments and
shortcomings will be itemized and analyzed in a
final report, with full consideration given to
budget constraints, time Iimitations, and other
mitigating factors.

Brewery Waste Treatment Plen'-
— Fulton, New York; Eden,
Norlh Carolina; Albany, Georgia;
Trenton. Ohio
In response to increasingly slringent state and
federel water pollution standards, industrial
waste treatment plants have become more
numerous and complex. Sverdrup designed
four such facilities for the Miller Brewing
Company. These plants, which treat a brewery
._. wastewater high in BOD and suspended solids,
discharge to municipal sewage lreatment
�. plants and are each comparable in size.
function, and BOD load.
The four breweries—in Fulton, New York;
Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; and
Trenton, Ohio—are some of the largest in the
industry, designed to brew up to 10 million
bbl�yr each. The breweries produce large
quantities of high-strength wastewater, and
. their treatment plants are designed to treat
from 5.2 to 6.0 mgd of wastewaler, with BOD
loads of 65,000 to 91,000 Ib�day. Each plant
discharges eHluent of a substantially higher
quality than govemment standards require.
- Sverdrup assisted in site selection, prepared air
and water permit applications, investigated
design concepts, prepared drawings and
contract documents, and was a member of the
project management team that administered
contracls and inspected construclion. The
company fasPtracked all four brewery waste
(acilities, taking the Eden facility, for example,
(rom preliminary design to actual wastewater
treatment in approximalely 11 months. In
addition, �he company prepared operation and
— maintenance manuals, provided start-up assis-
tance, and trained plant personnel to facilitate
the smooth functioning of the treatment
system.

Several special sludies were included in these
wastewater treatment projects. Sverdrup
studied energy conserva[ion and sludge
disposal methods, conducted laboratory
ireatability studies, and, as part of a pilot plant
study in Fort Worth, Texas, developed process
waste Ioadings.
Process components include the tollowing:
influent pumping; screening and grit removal
to exlrect large or heavy suspended solids from
lhe waste influent; neutralization and nutrient
addition to help waste-consuming microorga- '—
nisms flourish; aeration basins to supply
oxygen for microorganism growth; and '�
secondary claritication to separale the sludge
and supernatant liquor. The Fulton plant also �
includes equalization to control the rate of flow
through the plant, and primary clari�ication to
remove settleable solids before aeration. In .--
addition, all four planis feature polishing
lagoons (or additional trealment when needed.
Sludge is concentraled by centrifugation and
dewatered by pressure filtration be(ore being
transported to land(ills. The treated wastewater
is discharged into receiving streams of various
sizes.
Since the efficient operation of an activated
sludge wastewater ireatment process requires
treining and experience, Miller contracted with
Sverdrup to provide start-up assistance. At the
Eden brewery, for example, Sverdrup engi-
neers remained omsite for the first seven
roonths of operation �o assist with operator
training and plant operation. In addition, ihe
company provides operations assistance to all
facili�ies on an as-needed basis.

'Alternatives to'IY�aditional

Major funding comes Gom (ederul grants supplemenled
by tnx-exentpt bonds and municipal tax receipls. In re•
cenl years, however, we have scr.n a sharply reduced
Ievel of direcl and indirect feder:d aid for such projects.
And al Ihe same lime local bovernmenls are expericnc-
ing greater dilticullies in raising addilional revenucs
through uscr fees or properly �:ues. There are at Icasl

aIncentives Provided by

Since a city pays no lederal taxes, it cannot nmke use
of Ihc tax incentit�es Congress hns offered to taxpnyers.
The city can benefit finm the tax sys�em, however, when

A luxpayer—unlike a municipality—can claim a deduc-

and for �a.e purposes is complica�ed by a number of issues
like who holds �iUe, who guaranlees the mortgage, and
whal options esisl on the property. Under curren� I�ix

2. APPROACH TO THE PRO.7ECT
In developing Harry Hendon and AssaciaCes' approach to the Iowa
City Project, we have reviewed in detail the V& K"201 Facilities Plan",
the Arthur Young "Privatization Feasibility Study", the V& K/Dague
"Proposal for Phased Development of Wastewater Collection and Treatment",
the V& K design documents for the proposed new plant, and other documents;
we have discussed the project with the Public Worke Director and other
staff personnel; and we have visited the existing wastewater treatment
facili[y.
The basic purpose of the proposed study is to develop an alter-
_ native for wastewater collection and treatment for Iowa City which is
financially feasible, tec6nically sound and politically implementable.
— Numerous studies, designs and proposals have been presented to the City
Council over the last several years. These studies have been conducted
" under changing techaical and financial assumptions. The City Council ¢eeds
a detailed study to evaluate the background facts aud assumptions of all
! previous proposals, developed with today's funding and engineering method-
� ologies in mind.
i
�!
`�
�
Several decisions which have been made i¢ the past sigaificantly
affect the capital, operation a¢d financing cost of the proposed alter-
natives. These decisians which must be reevaluated at the initial step of
the project iaclude:
1. To conti¢ue the practice of collecting and treating flows
from footing drains. Footing drain tiles utilize 11� of
future treatment facility average design flow, 48� of the
treatment facility hydraulic capacity, and 69� of the i¢ter-
cepCor and pumping station capacities.
2. To continue the maximum utilizatioa of the existing plant.
The existing plant was co¢structed in the 1930's und even
though it has been upgraded twice, much of the concrete
tankage, the administration and maintenance building, and
other structures are fifty years old. The latest proposals
call for spending $900,000 for repairs to the existing plant
to allow a maximum of fifteen years further use.
3. Early selection of treatment alternative. The proposed ¢ew
plant has been designed for the activated sludge process.
Newer proposals have discussed oxidation towers (trickling
filters). Hoth processes 6ave advantages and disadvantages,
bu[ there has been no direct comparison of total present
worth cost including construction, operation and financing
costs.
4. The method of financing must be determined based on a
structured selection process and a specific project scope of
— work. The reported savings of the "privatization" system
cannot be defined unCil an actual contract is negotiated and
all costs are identified. Our recent experience has shown
-2-
,-
�
;
an actual savi¢gs of approximately ten percent not including
required "buy back" provisions at the end of the co¢tract
term.
Harry Hendon aad Associates' proposed scope of services will
allow an independent, timely and detailed evaluation of the facts leading
to the above decisions, identify proposed alternatives to these decisions,
and provide a comprehensive set of documentation upo¢ which the staff and
the City Council can make a knowledgeable decision as to the proper course
of action.
In response to question 11 7, the proposed study should contai¢
the following steps:
Step 1: Evaluate Summarize and Reconfixm Design Flows and Loads
The original evaluation of footing drain removal was
based on pcoviding a new draiu pump and separate collection
for every structure in the collection system. Many of the
existing structures could be removed from the system at a
much lower cost. A selective sampling of structures would
be evaluated to detexmine the cost effectiveness of
cantinued collection and treatment of footing drain flow.
The V& R and the IDEQ flows will be evaluated to assure
adequate capacity at miaimal cost.
Step 2: Value Engineering Study of Provosed Alternatives
All existing proposals foc co¢struction phasing and
collection aad treatment alteraatives will be evaluated in a
structured method to identify the most cost effective and
implementable alternative. This evaluation will be based
upan lowest present worth cost and will include operational,
fina¢cing, construction and engineering costs. City
personnel will be involved in the value engineering study on
a continuous basis to assure an adequate product at the
study conclusion.
Step 3: Definition of the Pronosed Plau
A detailed preliminary design of the proposed project
will be developed to allow detailed construction a¢d
operational cost estimating. This detailed preliminary
desiga will include interceptor line sizing and location;
existing treatment facility upgrading equipment and struc-
ture requirements; new facility equipment selection, struc-
ture sizing aad horsepower requirements; and identified
operational munpower.
Step 4: Privatization Proposals
Proposals for private funding, constructio❑ and
— operation of the selected alternative will be solicited and
evaluated by a committee of the City Council with assistance
from engineering and financial consultants. The proposals
_ will be based on the proposed plan identified above. The
City will not be committed to accept any proposal, but will
-3-
i
I
�J
i rl
Y
be able to evaluate a fixed price praposal against con-
ventional municipal bonds.
Step ` Selecti�n of Fi¢al Plan
A detailed presentation will be made to the City
Council. This presentation will include a privatization
alternative and a municipal funding proposal for all pdases
of constructio¢.
Harry Hendoa and Associates has not been involved in any phase of
the design activities. We are ¢ot a privatization fizm with a"turn key"
approach to sell. We do not anticipate doing the detailed design of the
selected alternative. Our proposal is merely to conduct an independent,
profeasia¢al evaluation of the identified alteraatives plus other obvious
alternatives which have not been identified; provide a stxuctuted method-
ology for evaluating these altematives; and to provide enough detailed
hard data such that the City Council ca¢ make an educated decision with
regard to future Waste water services for Ioaa City.
In cesponse to question iill, a preliminary time schedule for the
above tasks is included for your review. This schedule will be refined and
much of the background information collected prior to actual contract
execution such that productive evaluations could start immediately.

PRIVATIZATION AND OTHER INOVATIVE TECHNIQUES
- Harry Hendou and Assaciates coustantly strives to adapt new
equipment, ideas and methods into our pcojects. However, a piece of equip-
ment, treatment process, or financial plan must have worked well under
actual operating conditions prior to being utilized in Harry Hendoa and
Associates projects. We have numeeous plants designed and constructed
under innovative/alternative financing from EPA. We were the firsi to
design the Carrousel System in Tennessee (Smyma, Tennessee); the Schreiber
System in Alabama (Tuskegee, Alabama); and the mixed media high rate water
filtration process east of the Mississippi River (Columbia, Tennessee). We
are oae of the first firms in the country to actively pezsue private
financing of municipal wastewater treatment in the United Sta[es (Auburn,
Alabama). Our principal staf£ members have traveled extensively thxoughout
the U.S. Canada, Europe and South Africa to evaluate new technologies.
1'wo current Harry Hendo¢ and Associates projects summarize our
abilities with reference to innovative ideas: Asheville, N.C. and Auburn,
AL.
J
a. Asheville, N.C. (Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe
-� County)
JThe project iavolves the modification and expansio¢ of an
existing 25 MGD wastewater Creatment plant (which we designed in 1965) to
an advanced treatmeut 40 MGD plant with complete sludge disposal. After
full scale pilot testing of two alternative treatment processes, the
— expaasion was designed for "micro screens" and "rotating biological
contactors". The existing plant will be completely utilized and no
additional concrete basins will be required. The exiating primary and
secondary clarifiers and the existing aeration basins will be equipped with
"rotatiag biological contactors (RBC)." "Micro screens" will be added for
primary aud final clarification. Sludge will be disposed of by incinera-
tion, composti¢g or codisposal with domestic solid waste through incinera-
[ion with energy recovery. The incineration of sludge with solid waste has
the highest first cos[ but will generate revenues of over $4,000,000 per
year from the sale of electric power and the collection of solid waste
_ disposal fees. As a result, its equivaleat annual cost is less than half
of any of the other sludge disposal alternatives. Immediately adjacent to
the Asheville wastewater treatment plant site lies the French Broad River
and the abandoned Craggy Dam. We are curre¢[ly designing modifications to
- this low head dam to install 6ydroelectric turbines for the production of
electricity. The $6,000,000 project will generate enough electricity to
pay for itself plus interest and operating cost in just over five years.
b. Auburn, Alabama
This project involves twa wastewal:er treatment fa�ilities and
approximately 24 miles of interceptor sewers. Upon completion of design,
the City of Auburn was informed by the Alabama Department of E¢vironmental
Mnnagement that no federal funds could be provided for this project within
the next few years due to a low "priority ranking". In November, 1984, the
City of Auburn requested proposals for private financing, construction and
operation of the project. Harry Hendon and Associates assisted the City in
Ilbl
,-�
developing the Request for Proposals, in setting up the selection process,
and in reviewing the proposals. At the current time one firm has been
selected for negotiatio¢ of a service agreement. Until execution of this
service agreement, the City has not committed to "privatization" of the
project, but obtains firm pricing to enable a direct compazison of cost
with conventional municipal financing. It is interesting to note, that on
this project, the actual savings of privatization amounts to app=oximately
30 percent over the cost of conventional financing, not including the cost
of "buy-back" at the end of the project. After inclusion of a sinkiag fund
to amoritize the "buy-back" provision, the user cost of privatizatioa
apptoximately equals the user cost of conventional financing.
This detailed evaluation of "innovative" financing options has
allowed the City to obtain specific committments of cost from private firms
without committing to a long term cwnership and operations contract. We
feel that this project closely parallels the Iowa City project and we would
be pleased to discuss the similiarities and how they relate to our proposed
scope of services at your convenience.

COMPANY HISTORY
� For over three decades, Harry Hendon and As-
sociates and lheir predecessor firms have con-
ducted a general civil, sanitary and municipal en-
'-' gineering practice throughout the southeastern
United Stales.
The firm oi Polk, Powell and Hendon was orga-
_ nized in 1943. Two of lhe partners, Armour C.
Polk and Hugh A. Powell, had been associated in
many of lhe more imporlant hydroelectric and
other public utility projects in the Southeast from
World War I to 1935. Harry H. Hendon, the lhird
partner, had spenl his professional career, prin-
cipally, in sanitary engineering.
in 1939, lhese men were associated on the de-
sign and construction of the Birmingham Indus-
trial Water Supp�y. And, during World War II, lhey
were responsible 1or lhe design and construction
of the Anniston Ordnance Depol for the Ord-
nance Department and Camp Sibert for the U.S.
Army's Chemical Warlare Service. These associ-
ations led to their partnership.
� 1 I 1 �
ENOINEL+'R9
�
\ � /
Coionel Polk died in March 1946, and the busi-
ness continued under its original name. Colonel
Polk, at the time of his death, was the first and
only chairman of the Alabama State Board of
Registration for Engineers and Land Surveyors, a
member and past president ot the National Asso-
ciation of State Boards oi Engineering Exam-
iners, vice president and former director, Ameri-
can Sociery of Civil Engineers, and active in many
other technical societies.
In August 1956, upon Mr. Powell's retirement,
Polk, Powell and Hendon was reorganized as
Harry Hendon and Associates. Two of the ranking
members of the engineering staff, Lewis E. Hoff-
mann and Afton B. Jowers, became pariners in
the reorganized firm, and other outstanding en-
gineers became associated with lhe organization.
Since Mr. Hendon's death in February 1973, the
firm has conlinued unchanged under the leader-
ship of the remaining partners.

Early constructlon, pouring
slab lorthe oxidation ditch.
By Bob Paul
With research and development
in the United Siates ac an almost
standstill in the water [reatmen[ en-
gineering field, a European imporc
may take over in small to medium
urban area> in design and con-
su•uction oE sewage treatment
plants.
While one such "Carrousel"
treatment plant has been finished
Carrous¢I tr¢atrn¢nt plants
work in smaller urban ar¢as
in the Southeast, several others are
either ready to bid or are on the
drawing boards of consulting en-
gineers like Hendon and As-
sociates of Birmingham.
Also out front in [he construc-
tion procedures of' the imported
idea is Birmingliam's Brasfield and
Gorrie. The firm built the ftrst in
the area in Kentucky, now has
another under construction near
Nashville, Tenn., and soon will bid
others.
The Nashvillc plant —acwally in
subin•ban Smyrna —seems to f t[he
ideal si�e and conditions for the
C:u•rousel system. The small urban
popidation is right, the relatively
tlat terrain is ideal; i[ is even tied
into usable portions oF an existing
pl�nt. It also had to be gready e�-
panded even before it was finisl�ed
due to an indus�ry Iocation. Ilut
most uf all, ihe EP:\ mquirements
were :ibout as "rigid as you will cver
lind:'says Hendonand Associates,
Consulting Enginccrs.

for in plant design and n-
s[ruction.
Hendon points out that the sys-
[em that meets a minimal reyuire-
ment would be a lagoon sys[em
which is used widely in smallerci[y,
corpor.�te and industrial situations.
As the requiremen[s ge� more
stringent, a trickle•filter system
would be remmmended. Here a
rotary distribu[or distributes the
sewage over a bed of rocks supporo-
ing a specially-[reaced nawral
growth.
But the more dependable re-
quirements for concentrated
growth area require some "acti-
vated sludge con[rol sys�em." "�1s
we ge[ more stringent:' says Hen-
don, "we are �ooking at a nvo-stage
acdvated sludge. However, some
counties that have more demand-
ing requirements must even move
into a filteringsystem."
The Smyrna location and dis-
charge requirements �vere so
"exacting, they eliminated most of
the systems that werE available to
us." The ci[y was Faced wi[h an ex-
tensive and expensive two•suge
system or an extended aeration sys-
cem, preEerably an oxidation di[ch.
It is the Carrousel that offers the
best feawres of the oxidation ditch
and which Hendon recommended
and Brasfield and Gorrie is build-
ing. One advantage of the basic de-
sign is thac sewage has a dilu[ion
factor oE 100 to 1 as ic enters the
ditch. This is due to the large vol-
ume of liquid moving at all times in
ihe diich iuelf.
This is a critical advantage wiih
industrial wastes moving dvough
the sysrem. "Once they are diluted
100 to 1 in the oxidation ditch they
offer litde serious problems to the
treatment facility as more cmuen-
vated amounts would in some
[reatment systems."
\o[ onlv is the Carrousel design
highly eEficient, but oFfers consid-
erable savings in construction.One
entire aeration basin is eliminated
from conventional designs along
with a set of claritiers. "Instcad of
haring four 65-ft. clarifiers in a
�wo•stage system� �er have Iwo,�.
says the engineer. Only a single set
of sludge pumps is heing rcyuircd

in a single bssin. flexibility of oper•
ation is also a major Factor in that
the horsepo�ver of thr equipment
can be varied as rcquired in the
basin.
TBe term Cnrrrnur( is derived
from the wre oF the svstem, the
oxidation ditch. [t is a concrece
ditch that "has no end or begin-
ning" and sewage is forced aroimd
the concrete strucmre by equip-
ment near the entrance point. If
tes[s could be made of se�vage in
the "ditch;' according to the en-
gineer, those tests would reveal ma-
terial that had just entered f'or
treatmen[. They also �vould reveal
material that had encered on the
first day of operxtion. Only a small
amount leaves ;u a small portion
enters. And the large volume re-
maining in the concrete sttucture
gives the all important dilution
Factor.

Brasfield and Gorcie has found
that conscruction of che plan[ itselF
is primarily a concrete pouring op-
erauon. It ts high producdon in
thac [he walls in the basin are
primarily the same wall poured
over and over again and require
only a minimum of form conFg-
uredons. These forms can be used
over and over again, noc only on
walls in the same ditch, but on addi-
tional plants of the same design.
Such beneflts have also cut the cost
considerably in this type con-
struction.
Walls at Smyrna are some 10-1 I
f[, in height, all solidly reinforced.
Although the Carrousel may imply
circular motion, the ditch is an
oval•shaped aEfair and utilized
most oC the excavated area oC the
site iaelf. Even so, the site is unusu-
ally compacc for its pmduction
capabilities.
The Carrousel reduced the
number of buildings required in a

UTOY CREEK WATER POI.LUTION CONTROL PLANT
The City of Aqunta's Uroy Crcek Wa[er Pollution Control Plunt, a 30 mgd ac-
-- tivated sludge sewage treatment piant, is locaied approximately ?F miles west of
Interstate 20, just off Industrinl Bivd. This plant has been in operntion since August,
-� 1973, under the direction of Plant Superintendent E. C. Vandiver, Assistant Super-
. intendent 7. B. Howard, and Chemist O. R. Sueing.
' The plant basically consists of grit and scrccnings removai, primary cl¢rification, .
j,� activated sludge basins, ucondary clarifi:ation, chiorination, and aerobic diaestion
�. of wastc activated sludge. Primary sludge und waste activatcd are dewatered on belt
filtcrs and incineratcd.
�, The piant was designed by Hnrry Hendon and Associates of Birminghnm, Alnbama.
— Tha project was constmcted under two contracts. .Robert E. MeKee, Ine. con-
sWeted the activated sludge plont and Manhattan Construction Company con-
� structed the sludge handling facility. !
__ in addition to adequnte trwtment, there were two primary objcciives involved
in the design of this facility; capital costs and time. Capital wsu for treatment plantt
in thc Atlanta area havc been as much as SI.00 per gallon ot design capacity in
recent years. The rotal capital wst for the Utoy PIan4 induding sludge dewatering
._ and incineration. was Iess thnn 35¢ per golion.
Time was also of unique importance becausc of a ban on sewer connections im-
posed by the Georgia Environmenm� Proleciion Division. The contmet between the
Ciry of Atlanta and Harty Hendon and Associales providcd lhat ihe engineer was to
submit a complete design annlysis thrce months after notification to proceed, and
within cight months thcrenfter ihc engineer was to providc complcie plans and
specifications.
Yotification lo proceed with �he Jesign analysis w�s given on lune I?, 1970.
The cngineer was latcr rcquestcd by �he city to study ccrtain addilional aspcc�s of
ihe piant dcsign, and a ninety day cxtension wu granted. 'fhe design annlysis was
submiucd December 15, 1970. Thc ban on scwer conncetions was removed for a
period of six months by thc Georsia Environmentnl Protection Division.
Harry Hendon and Associnlcs were directed to procecd wilh pinns nnd specilica-
lions on Janu•rry 3, 1971, with �hc rcyucsl ihnt cvery atlempt bc madc to complete
ihc plans and specification� within SI% months, instcad of thc conlract timc of cighi

Subject: Statement of Qualifications and Proposal
for Wastewater Plan Alternative Study
Dear Mr. Berlin:
92-8143
92-84-18
We are pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications and
response to your Request for Proposal dated April 10, 1984. Brown
and Caldwell in association with MMS Consultants, Inc., (MMS) has
assembled a highly qualified project team capable of providing the
engineering services you are seeking.
our team provides the extensive technical qualifications of Brown
and Caldwell combined with MMS's detailed understanding of Iowa
City's needs. Brown and Caldwell has over 35 years of experience
in planning, design, and construction of wastewater collection and
treatment facilities. During that time, we have become a leader
in process development and innovation. In addition to process
engineers, our staff includes engineers and technicians in all
disciplines necessary to implement a complex project from planning
through to start-up and operation. Design engineers from MMS
will augment the project teams through their intimate knowledge of
existing facilities and local conditions.
We recognize the need to effectively utilize existing treatment
facilities. our proposal provides a brief discussion of your
concerns, followed by an approach to the solution of several of
these issues. The proposal identifies and describes preliminary
concepts for achieving cost savings while meeting the City's
needs. The alternatives span a range of inethods from simple
upgrading of the existing trickling filter plant to construction
of a new plant. Among the alternatives evaluated will be the
trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process developed by Brown
and Caldwell. In addition, other processes will be evaluated to
ensure the City of the least-cost solution to their wastewater
problems.

our proposal indicates innovative and economical technical
solutions to the City's problems. Recognizing the potential
funding limitations, it also suggests ways in which the project
can be financed by private capital. Our approach to privatization
is to provide a full-service capability (planning, design,
construction, financing, ownership, and operation) under a single
responsibility. The cost to the city will be less than with
conventional financing methods, while still providing financial
incentives to the investors. we believe privatization presents an
attractive financing alternative should other funds be unavailable.

PARTICIPATING FIRMS
Recognizing the desirability of combining the strength oE a
nationally recognized wastewater expert with a firm strong in local
knowledge, Brown and Caldwell proposes to use MMS Consultants,
Inc., (MMS) of Iowa City (City). MMS will be responsible to Brown
and Caldwell, also subconsultants, for developing or acquiring data
that may be needed and for analyzing the hydraulic and routing
constraints to the southeast and outfall interceptor systems. A
principal of MMS will be on the technical advisory group to ensure
all local issues are properly addressed.
For the privatization study, we have initiated contact with
several reputable, nationally recognized financial institutions.
Among these are E. F. Hutton & Company, Inc.; Boettcher and
,. Company; and Security Pacific eank Corporation. All have expressed
_ interest in arranging financing for the facilities. Final
determination as to the firm used will be made when, and if,
`. required by the project needs. '
HAS THIS TEAM WORKED TOGETHER IN THE PAST7
Brown and Caldwell and MMS have not worked together previously.
_ However, the individuals we have assembled for our team have worked
together on previous assignments.

of studies have been undertaken to assure the City that it has
embarked upon the most cost-effective course. However, some
' serious concerns remain, given the large project cost and the
elimination of grant support. The primary purpose of this study is
to evaluate all previous work and to explore ways in which the City
can meet it's obligations at less cost.
_. The current recommended plan calls for expenditure of
$58 million, S38 million of which is for a new wastewater treatment
" plant. It is evident that the greatest potential for cost savings
is the wastewater treatment plant. Therefore, our focus will be on
that element of the project. However, all system elements must be
evaluated together. For example, previous studies indicate that
significant savings would be realized in interceptor costs for an
alternative that has the wastewater treatment plant at a new site.
For this and other reasons, previous recommendations have been
made to abandon the existing plant and construct a new plant on a
new downstream site. In spite of this and due to the significant
potential savings possible from upgrading the existing plant, we
will first evaluate the impacts of retaining the present site.
— This will involve consideration of all pertinent factors including
such things as extent of repair required, ability to adapt existing
j units, room for further expansion, environmental impacts of
-- adjacent land use, and effect on interceptor routing.
We have reviewed the reports referenced in your Request for
Proposals and have toured the existing and proposed treatment plant
sites. In addition, we have briefly reviewed some of the operating
data from the treatment plant. Based on the insights gained from
this work, we are confident that the existing plant could be
- upgraded to meet the NPDES permit requirements (30 milligrams per
liter (mg/1) biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids).
We have successfully demonstrated an ability to do similar upgrades
at Corvallis, Oregon; Tolleson, Arizona; Garland, Texas; and Salt
� Lake County, Utah; by converting the trickling filter process into
the trickling filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process.
- The TF/SC process, as would be applied at the City, has the
potential of reducing treatment plant construction costs at the new
site by 20 to 40 percent. The process was developed by Brown and
Caldwell and is a modification of the basic trickling filter
process. It involves addition of an aerated, short-detention-time
contact tank between the trickling filters and the secondary
clarifiers. Underflow, returned to the clarifiers, is mixed with
the trickling filter effluent to achieve additional BOD removal and
enhance flocculation. Some of our TF/SC plants are typically
producing effluents less than 10 mg/1 in BOD and suspended solids.
We are excited at the possibility of applying this technology
to your plant. Although we cannot state with certainty that it
will prove to be feasible, several similar projects recently
� [iP.OWfJ AND CALDWELL � CONSULTING ENGINEENS
�
-. undertaken by Brown and Caldwell have been successful. We will
evaluate other alternatives as well, including the ones previously
' reviewed. From the detailed study oE alternative p2ans, we wi22
_ select the one that combines lowest cost with optimum achievement
of the City's objectives.
The next step will be to evaluate financing options. As part
of the facilities planning activity, capital cost estimates will be
developed for project alternatives. These capital cost estimates
and estimated operating and maintenance costs will be used for the
financial analyses. Variables include the incremental fee for
treatment of additional wastewater and the type of financing or
combination of financial instruments which are possible for this
project. Project cost savings may be possible by using the so
called "privatization" approach. The Arthur Young study has
indicated that privatization is advantageous and could result in a
15 to 20 percent savings in the user charge. This may be a correct
assessment, but we believe an independent detailed examination is
needed and we propose to make this a major task of our study. Dr.
Ronald Doctor of Brown and Caldwell, a nationally recognized expert
in privatization, will head our team in the detailed economic and
institutional studies. One aspect of such a study is a detailed
cash-flow analysis such as shown on the example in Figure 1-1.
To accomplish the approach which we have briefly outlined
above,. we have assembled a highly qualified project team. The
principal-in-charge will be Mr. Garr M. Jones. His responsibility
will include providing guidance to the project team, serving on
the technical review board, providing companywide resources to the
project tream, and providing senior management-level access to the
City. The project manager, Mr. Michael Donovan will be responsible
for all day-to-day direction and communication with the City.
Project advisors will assist the project manager by a formal review
process. They include Dr. Denny S. Parker, coinventor of the TF/SC
process; Mr. Warren R. Uhte, nationally recognized expert in
wastewater solids; and Dr. Ronald D. Doctor, expert in project
finance. To provide input from the operations viewpoint, Mr. James
Chitty of the Operating Services Department will be a project
advisor. Project engineers will be assigned specific tasks as
described herein.
Messrs. James eartlett and Christopher Stephan will be
responsible for detailed evaluation of the treatment processes and
hydraulics, respectively. Assisting Mr. Bartlett in the evaluation
- of the existing facilities will be Ms. Marguerita Stone. Ms. Stone
will be responsible for evaluating the mechanical modifications to
the existing facilities.
Mr. Schnittzer, Mr. Uhte, and Dr. Parker will comprise the
technical review team. This team's responsibility will be to
insure that the evaluation incorporates the best technical and
— local understanding in the recommended plan.

PROJECTS INVOLVING PRIVATIZATION
The Requests for Proposals asks for a list of completed
wastewater or other municipal projects involving privatization
developed by team members during the previous 5 years. To our
knowledge, only one'real municipal wastewater privatization project
has been started--Chandler, Arizona. Privatization has also been
used in recent years in the resource recovery field and we have
been invovled, as the service recepient's advisor, on such projects
at San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Marion County, Oregon. We have
conducted numerous feasibility stud:es of privatization and have
made associations with major financial institutions for project
implementation.

SECTION 2
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
This section outlines our understanding of the needs and
- concerns of Iowa City (City), and describes our experience and
capability in addressing those needs.
_ Project Background
- Iowa City (City) desires to reevaluate its current plans for
improving its sewerage facilities. At issue is the immediate need
to provide interceptor capacity in the southeastern portion of
_ the City and to replace or rehabilitate the existing treatment
capacity. The existing plan, revised in 1979, anticipated fedecal
- and state funding assistance. Since then, the City has determined
that funding may not be available.
! Most of the existing facilities were constructed in 1935.
I'� These units have served the City well but are showing severe
- deterioration in places. Additional units were installed in 1965
and remain in good condition. At present, the existing plant is
- unable to meet the current discharge ,requirements, primarily
because the sedimentation units are severely overloaded. To bring
- the plant up to capacity, more sedimentation capacity would have to
be installed.
- While the older units could be rehabilitated to provide
. years of additional use,' the existing plant site is limited for.
future growth. The site is in close proximity to commercial and
_ residential areas, making it a potential odor nuisance.
Compounding the treatment plant siting issue is the surcharging
problem in the southeastern portion of the City. Several
interceptor routes have been evaluated and a route and size
selected. The interceptor arrangement which appears to best solve
the long-term needs of that area, will be cheaper to build if it
__. terminates at a proposed treatment plant site south of the
City. Otherwise, additional piping and possibly pumping will be
necessary. Thus, construction of a plant at the new site has
significant construction and operating cost trade-offs associated
- with it. Except for a proposed interceptor serving the area to the
north and west of the airport, other interceptor construction will
not be influenced by the final site selection.
Two reports to the City in 1983 developed and recommended a
four-stage plan. These reports recommended that the City begin
_ construction of a portion of the ultimate treatment plant at
�R01NN AND CALDWELL � CONSUL7ING [IJGIN[f:RS
- z-a
- The rreport recommended�differentYprocessesefromtthesoriginaleplan.
The four-phase plan offers savings in the overall construction
cost, an extended construction period, and continued use of the
_ existing treatment plant. The longer construction period would
allow the City more time to acquire the construction funds and
would allow the City to derive the benefits of continued use of the
existing plant,
_ The City commissioned a privatization feasibility study late in
1983 which indicated.that privatization was feasible. The report
-_ demonstrated how private ownership, rather than public ownership,
could result in a lower bimonthly sewer service charge, The report
was predicated on the costs shown in the 1983 reports and assumed
_ that full operation and maintenance responsibility of the system
would be taken over by the financing party.
Relevant Ex�erience
Since 1997, grown and Caldwell has been an innovative leader in
wastewater engineering, During that period, Brown and Caldwell
has designed more than 100 wastewater treatment plants or plant
enlargements in the United States and abroad. Included in these
- are major regional treatment plants or entire sewerage systems
for t.he cities of San Diego, California; Seattle, Washington;
Vancouver, British Columbia; Sacramento, California; Auckland, New
_ 2ealand; and Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. The firm has
, been a leader in the development and application of advanced
wastewater treatment processes including lime in primary treatment,
nitrification-denitrification, ammonia stripping, breakpoint
- chlorination, pure oxygen activated sludge, and algae removal from
oxidation ponds. These process concepts have been advanced well
beyond the pilot plant stage and are currently being incorporated
__ into Brown and Caldwell-designed treatment facilities.
Brown and Caldwell pioneered the development of the trickling
filter/solids contact (TF/SC) process in 1979, Since then, it has
been used in the designs of more than ten plants nationwide. Five
of these plants are in operation and fully meeting their design
effluent requirements. The best examples of these are the plants
at Corvallis, Oregon, and Tolleson, Arizona; and Salt Lake County,
Utah. These are identified in the Brown and Caldwell tabulation of
Construction Projects, Table 1-2a and are described below.
Corvallis, Ore on. The Corvallis plant was designed to treat
9•7 million gallons per day (mgd) of moderate-strength waste to an
effluent quality of 10-milligrams-per-liter (mg/1) of biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS) during the summer
months with less restrictive requirements during the winter. As
noted in Table 1-2a, this was a prototype plant in that it was
_ designed and constructed with activated sludge process following
�ROPJIJ AND Cn.LDWEI.L �
CONSUI.7ING ENGWELHS
2-3
-' the existing trickling filters. Shortly after the plant was placed
in operation, it was discovered that the plant could meet its
requirements without using the activated sludge process. Through
--. subsequent research by our staff, the process design was refined
and developed. That research resulted in two of our principals
-- being awarded the National Water Pollution Control Federation's
Gascoigne Award for outstanding work in resolving a major treatment
operational problem in 1983.
The work at Corvallis revealed that for their 9.7-mgd treatment
� needs, the construction cost for an entirely new plant using the
TF/SC process would have been about S25 million versus approxi-
- mately S30 million for a conventional activated sludge process.
The work also illustrated that the process required only 50 percent
of the electrical power used by the activated sludge process.
Tolleson, Ari2ona. The Tolleson, Arizona, project was designed
- to meet virtually the same discharge requirements as Iowa City.
While, as with Corvallis, part of the previously existing plant was
incorporated into the new system, the savings associated with these
I� reused units were relatively small. Other advantages favoring the
� TF/SC process include ease of operation and process stability.

Brown and Caldwell was retained in 1979 by the City of Tolleson
to prepare 201 facility plans. This project involved study and
evaluation of wastewater treatment plant improvements and inter-
ceptor sewers. Subsequent to the study, Tolleson decided to use a
fast-track program for design and construction of the expansion of
the Tolleson treatment plant to 8.3 mgd. The project is not
EPA-funded but is supported by a number of communities situated to
the west of Phoenix.
Brown and Caldwell designed the expansion in only 4 months,
using the combined capabilities of four of the firm's offices.
Bids were received on 20 prepurchase equipment items in August
1980, and plant expansion bid was sent out in October 1980. Brown
and Caldwell performed construction management services for this
project.
Central Valley Proiect, Salt Lake County. A project currently
under construction, exemplifies how we approached and resolved
_ treatment problems similar in many respects to Iowa City's
problems. This is the Central Valley Water Reclamation Board's
(CV�9RB) project in Salt Lake County. This project is refer.enced in
' Table 1-2a.
^ The CVWRFB comprises seven sewerage agencies in Utah. In early
1979, the board faced the problem of upgrading its five treatment
facilities to meet future requirements for surface discharge to
the Jordan River. Facilities then in existence used rock-media
trickling filters--some with two-stage operation--designed to
produce secondary effluent with an average daily aggregate flow of
` 6ROVJN AND CALDWLLL �j GONSULTING GNGINEENS
�16�
r--..
2-4
-_ 35 million gallons per day (mgd). Several CVWRFB treatment plants
had nearly reached their design capacity and one, the Cottonwood
Wastewater Plant, continuously failed to meet EPA standards for
secondary treatment. In June 1979, the board selected the joint
venture of Coon, King and Knowlton-Brown and Caldwell (CKK-BC) to
develop a 201 Facilities Plan designed to meet the long-term
wastewater management needs of the potential 67,000-acre service
area,
Consistent with facility planning requirements, CKK-BC
_ considered a full range of processing and disposal alternatives.
In screening feasible alternatives, the board considered
- (1) regional treatment at a central site and (2) continued
_ operation of existing, separate treatment plants after upgrading
and enlarging them. Although the estimated capital costs for
_ both approaches were similar, lower operation and maintenance
costs caused the board to decide in favor of regional treatment.
_ Further, the estimated effect of inflation on construction costs,
especially in Utah, revealed that accelerating the construction
"1 schedule would permit significant cost savings
I
,
CKK-BC evaluated six liquid processing options for the regional
plant. For economic reasons, CKK-BC rejected all except
(1) nitrifying tower, (2) coupled (trickling filter-activated
sludge), and (3) 25-hour detention time (oxidation ditch). CKK-BC
divided the second option in two: with and without filtration. To
yield a complete wastewater treatment and disposal facility, four
options were considered along with appropriate solids processing
and disposal options. Cost-effectiveness comparisons were
developed based on present worth--life-cycle costs over 20 years,
including salvage values.
Following this study, CKK-BC recommended that the most cost-
effective plan for meeting effluent standards for biochemioal
oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nitrification would be the
coupled trickling filter-activated sludge process without filtra-
tion in combination with short-term storage, dewatering, and static
pile composting. The board approved our recommendation and CKK-BC
- began designing the proposed 50-mgd regional facility.
Into the second year of construction, curtailment of EPA
_ funding necessitated design modifications. CKK-RC requested and
received from the Utah Department of Health a variance of its
limitations requiring nitrification of effluent prior to discharge
to the Jordan River. A cost-benefit analysis was prepared showing
- a life-cycle savings of $30 million if nitrification facilities
could be eliminated. The joint venture then prepared a report in
which it was recommended to use the trickling filter-solids contact
_ process instead of the coupled trickling filter-activated sludge
process. The board accepted this recommendation and the project
continued into construction. As of now, it is approximately
halfway to completion.

APRIL-JUNE 1982 VOLUME 11 NUMBER 2
Managin
time an
resource
at Tolleso
by Michael C. R. Owe
Time was a major factor in planning
the design and construction of an
8.3-mgd wastewater treatment plant
at 'I'olleson, Arizona. Time manage-
ment and optimum use of other limit-
ed resources promoted successful
achievement of the project's goals.
Three neighboring cities near
Phoenix—Tolleson, Peoria, and
Glendale—were involved with the
plant expansion. Economies oF scale
and shared costs saved these cities
valuable funds when compared with
wsts for separate wastewater treat-
ment facilities. Capital costs of $1.70
per gallon treated per day and oper-
ation and maintenance costs of be-
tween $130 and 5190 per million
gallons treated make this plant one
of the most cosl•effective facilities
built in the nation today. Although
the process was designed to produce
an effluent of 30-milligram-per-liter
quality for both biochemical oxygen
demand and suspended solids, the ef-
fluent is expected to fall below 10-10
mg/1 for BOD and SS during most
of the.year. Reuse of both sludgc and
effluent not only reduces mtal operab
ing costs but is also an outstanding
example of resource recovery.
One of the most imporWnt of the
project's goals was rapid completion
of construUion. A brief review of
preceding events will explain this
need.
Early history Tolleson, a small
city with a population of 9,630 peo-
ple, generates a flow of only 0.5 mgd
of wastewater. A bcal meat-packing
plant finanmd Tolleson's original 4.7-
mgd wastewatcr lrcalment planl in
thc lale 1960s to prornss high-slrenglh
wastes to an acceplable standard
before dischargc to the Salt Rivcr.
�The company also shared in payment
of operation and maintenance costs
�at the treatment plant. (n the early
1970s, however, declining production
and revenues caused the packing
Splant ro request relief from this
arrangement, and Tolleson began
searching for other communities to
nshare the use of the wastewater treat-
ment plant.
� The nearby city of Peoria expressed
interest in the proposal, ln 1976,
Tolleson proposed constructing a
pipeline from Pcoria and enlarging
the plant to treat up to 5.4 mgd of
wastewater—the projected flow from
ultimate development in the Peoria
area. Peoria, however, could not
fund the proposed facilities from its
limited financial msources, so Tolle-
son offered to act as the lead agency in
obtaining needed funds from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Another partner on board
Meanwhile, in the Iate 1970s, growth
in and near the neighboring commun-
ity of Glendale exhausted that city's
treatment capacity at another plant.
As a result, the Arizona Department
of Health Services imposed a sewer
moratorium on Glendale. In 1979,
Glendale offered to underwrite part
of the expansion program a[ the
Tolleson plant in return for a share
of the treatment capaciry.
During 1979, the thrce cities en-
gaged Brown and Caldwell to develop
a 201 Facility plan for construction of
a 66-inch connecting sewer, the 99th
Avenue Interceplor, to serve lhe
norlhwest planning ama and convey
flows to the Tolleson plant. The con-
tinuing sewer moratorium at Glendale
crcated an urgent need ro have thc
project on-line as soon as possible.
Remgnizing that EPA funds wcre
prectically exhausted in Arizona and
wishing to avoid delay, the citics
elected to forego federel funding and
mnstruct Ihe treatment plant (acilities

Getting under way !n )anuary
198Q tlie cilies selecled I3rown and
Caldwcll to design the expansion.

four to six months, and construction
was to be substantially completed
twelve months later. Other criteria
specified that effluent qualiry must
be consistently high, never less than
30-30 for BOD and SS. The effluent
was to be reused as cooling water in
the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant
near Buckcye, Arizona, and sludge
was to be dried and reused by a local
Wrf farmer. Brown and Caldwell
developed alternative strategies for
mceting these unusual requirements at
estimaled project wsts betwcen 573
and 518 million.
Selecting treatment processes
The process selection was geared
toward saving money and labor and
inmrporating existing process units.
Since the existing plant used trickling
filtcrs, a preliminary design showed
that Brown and Caldwell's newly de-
veloped trickling filler/solids conWct
process was especially appropriafe at
Tolleson. Advantages of TF/SC arc:

2. Relativcly low operation and main-
lenancc costs

Managing the project Designins
and constructing thc expansion within
the allotted time required careful
planning. Drown and Caldwell devel-
oped the stretegy and schedule Far
both design and construction at Ihe
outset of the projecL Techniques used
to expedite constructian included
multiple contracts for prepurchase oF
major equipment with long lead limes
and division of the construction work
inlo several prime contracts to ad-
vancc thc midpoint of construction
and reduce the clients' overhead and
inlcrest paymcnls.
Engineering The engineering was
broken into four design packages
partially enginecrcd and coordinat-
ed from the Tucson af(ice and dis-
tribuled to Drown and Caldwcll's
Pasadena, Eugenc, and Walnut
Crcek officcs for final dcsign, draft-
ing, and specificalion writing. Design
guidelines developed for each major
discipline—civil, architectural, me-
ehanical, slructural, cledrical, and
instrumentafion—ensured consis•
tency. Design group leaders and kcy
personncl from each design leam met
regularly with project management
in Tucson to work out problems as
thcy arosc. Qualiry control was main-
tained by conJucling (requenl corpo-
rate and dicm design reviews during
thr enfirc design process.
Meeting the schedule Advanced
planning paid off when work began.
Preliminary design started immediate-
ly after the wntract was signed on
February 29, 1980. After a temporary
halt caused by uncertainty in the
bond market, the four design groups
began detailed design early in May,
completing and printing final draw-
ings and specifications by September
I, wcll within the minimum scheduled
timc oF (our monlhs.
Dy Ihe end of June, specifications
for ]9 major equipmenl ilems had
bcen prepared and put ou! for bid.
Dids werc received in mid•August,
from which 16 eontrects werc award-
ed in early Septembec These con-
Iracts called for equipmeN dcliverics
to a fulurc primc conlreclor during
specified periods in 1982.
Construetion On Novembcr 77,
thc primc contrect was awarded for
construction oF thc plant. Thc �on-
tract specified subslantial completion,
including all liquid strcam unit pro-
ccsscs, bcforc ycar's cnd ]987, wilh
(inal complction six months latcr.
Construction and equipment dcliv-
eries proceeded according to schedule.
Thc process porlions o( lhc planl
were esscnlially complcled, and lrcat-
menl o( wasfewafer had begun by
Decembcr 1987. In Seplembcr 1981, a
caNracf for construction o( the 3!%-
mile outfall line commenced. Work
was completed in January 1982.
At the time of wriling, comple[ion
of plant mnstruction is scheduled for
July 1982. The rotal project cost will
be about 514 million. The phrase "on
time and on budget" has a special
meaning for those who worked on
the Tolleson project because both the
timc and financial limitations were
stringenl.
Evaluating results Advanced
planning, skillful construction man-
agement, a knowledgeable clicnt,
and wcl6mordinated collaboration
all played their role at Tolleson. The
repid design-construction promss
saved interest charges and cost rises
from inflation. The moratorium on
scwcr connections at Glendalc was
lifled in Decembcr 1987, and the
city's developmenl is proceeding.
In addilion, 13ro�vn and Caldwcll's
design decisions are proving lo be
ecanomical and effective. In late
May, thc Tf/SC process was tmating
aboul 5.5 mgd o( wastcwatcr, pro-
ducing an efflucnl wilh 5 lo IO mg/I
o( suspended solids and 3 mg/I of
biochemical oxygen demand with
TP/SC's usual reliabiliry and low
oprreling costs.■

Project Highlights
Corvallis Wastewater
Reclamation Plant
The Willamette River in western Oregon is today a major
esthetic and recreational resource. The recovery ot the
river irom the gross pollution of 25 years ago to ils pres-
ent state is one of the nation's outstanding environmen-
tal success stories. To maintain this state, presenl limita-
tions for discharge to the river throughout mosl of its
lenglh require that Ihe concentrations of biochemical ox�
ygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids not exceed
10 mg/l each during Ihe summer recreation season.
The wastewaler reclamation plant expansion
Brown and Caldwell designed for the Cily of Corvallis,
Oregon, produces an etfluent whose quality surpasses
these discharge requirements by a wide margin. Further�
more, the sparkling effluent quality is achieved solely by
the innovalive applica�ion ol convenlional secondary
Ireatment processes, which are widely regarded as irn
capable of attaining such high levels of treatment. The
10-mgd plant employs ihe coupled Irickling (ilter-
activated sludge process developed by Brown and
Caldwell as a method lor upgrading the performance ol
conven�ional �rickling fil�er planis. Placed in service in
May 1978, the planl was constructed at a total cost ol
$8.3 million.

A key to the planCs exceptional performance in the
removal ol BOD and suspended solids is ihe secondary
clarifiers, which are designed with a center�well floccu�
lating chamber. This chamber improves capture and set•
tleability of the biologic solids from the activaled sludge
process. Process flexibility assures both high per(or-
mance during the summer recreation season and max-
imum economy during the winter season, when dis-
charge requirements are less stringent. The treatment
process can be shifted in a few minutes to any o( the
basic activated sludge operating modes. The plant can
also be run by using only the trickling fil�er process —
wilh improved secondary clarification.
Engineer•Operator Cooperation
Cooperation between engineers and operators was em•
phasized throughout the design of ihe plant expansion.
At Ihe start of ihe design period, the city assigned key
operating personnel to work with the Brown and Caldwell
projecl team. The operating staff made significant contri•
butions to ihe design decisions that allect the ease of
operation and mainlenance, and in the process devel•
oped a thorough underslanding of ihe planfs design.
This knowledge contribuled to a smooth plant slart-up.
Innovative Hydraulic Design
By innovative management ol hydraulics, the enlire aa
tivaled sludge process was designed with a lotal peak•
flow head loss ol only 1.41 feet. This (igure represenls all
losses between the inlet lo the aeration tanks and Ihe
outlet from the secondary clari!iers, including conduits,
Ilow splitter devices, and secondary clarilier weirs. The
low head loss enabled the aclivated sludge process to
be inserled into the existing plant flow stream between
ihe Irickling filters and Ihe secondary clarilier, wilhout
repumping, while doubling ihe flow rate. A 28•mgd inter�
mediate pumping station Ihat had been included in the
predesign report was thus eliminated during detailed
design.

Energy Conservation
The Corvallis wastewater reclamation planl contains a
number of features designed to achieve the maximum in
ireatment elficiency wi�h the minimum expenditure of
energy. As a result, Ihe plant produces an effluent ol ex•
ceptional quality at an energy cos� no higher ihan is
common for planls wilh lour to six times the ef(luent con-
laminanlload.
Methane produced in the plant's sludge digesters is
burned in boilers that supply all plant heating require�
ments. The planl is therefore independent ot lossil luels
except (or a standby source o( naWral gas and ihe diesel
luel lor the emergency generator.
The flexibilily in the secondary treatment process
permits Ihe operator to selecl the operating mode iha� is
best suited lo Ihe plant load and lo ihe summer or winter
discharge requirements. Once the operating mode is
selected, an automatically controlled aeration air system
modulales air Ilow in response to measurements ol ihe
dissolved oxygen in Ihe aeration tanks. The aeration air
flow is thus conlinuously adjusted to supply jusl the
amount of oxygen required by Ihe process.

When this flow of air is throtlled, the air supplied by
the blowers is reduced correspondingly by automatic
throttling valves on the blower suction. This reduction
lowers internal pressure in ihe blowers and ef(ects a fur•
iher power saving.
One energy conservation measure is unique �o the
Corvallis plant. A water coil in �he aeration air line down-
slream of the blowers recovers heat Irom the compres•
sion ot the aeration air and uses it to heat the operations
building.
The raw sewage pumps use liquid rheostals for
speed conlrol. The ine�(iciency inherenl in variable

Wastewater
The goal of the federal Clean Water
Act remains a national objective—
clean water in our lakes and streams—
but methods for achieving this goal
are shifting. Today industry plays a
greater role in pretreatment, and
wastewater agencies look for solu�
tions to trealment, disposal, and
sludge managemenl needs that can
be financed locally or with smaller
grants. Assistance with setting up
local funding, fast•track construction,
projects designed for atfordable
stages of construction, and innovative
process development to make maxi•
mum use of existing plants are among
the techniques we use to keep cosis
down while improving pertormance.
Brown and Caldwell also develops
innovative solids managemenl pro•
grams. Our services range from initial
studies to determine sludge quantity
and charecleristics, lhrough pilot-
scale work lo test proposed solutions,
to design, construction management,
and operating assistance for (ull•scale
systems. Our projects (nclude:
■ Facilities plans
■ Water qual(ly management
■ Pilot investfgations
■ Process development
■ C�Ilection, treatment, and disposal

Energy
Energy management and conservation
are important considerations in all of
Brown and Caldwell's pro�ects. We
plan and design proJecls to maximize
gravily flow, energy recovery, and use
of alternative energy sources where
appropriate. Many o( these techniques
also save energy in existing facilities.
Water and wastewater treatment
plants, hospitals, state and federal
office buildings, and college cam•
puses are among the public fac(Iities
that have reduced energyrelated
costs through our services. For a
number of pro�ects, we have identified
financing options and assisted in
arranging funds for conslruction.
Implementing energy management
programs may involve:
■ Energy audits
■ Cogeneration systems
■ Changes in Ilghting, heating and
cooling, and power distribution
systems
■ Improved process control
■ Waste heat recovery
■ Gas utilization
■ Process modflicatians
■ B(omass converslon
■ Use of geothermal, solar energy,
and heat pumps

Marine Sciences
Assessing ihe effects a proJect will
have on ocean and inland waterways
is often an essential part ot proJect
planning. For submarine structures,
design criteria must be based on
care(ul analysis of the natural range
of marine conditions. Brown and
Caldwell has performed physical
oceanographic Investigations, mar(ne
geotechnical studies, and monitoring
in support ot engineering pro�ects for
over 30 years. Wastewater outfalls,
submarine pipelines, dredging, and
coastal structures are among the
many projects that have required
these services. Our scientists have
extensive experience in monitoring
marine and inland waters and in
oceanogrephic measurement pro•
grams.
Sophisticated data acquisition
systems include in-situ packages and
telemetry capability by radio, tele•
phone, or satellite Iinks to computer
systems at the Costa Mesa and Wab
nut Creek offices in California. The
data are processed and analyzed lo
produce Information �n a form ihat is
directly applicable to engineerfng or

Environmental Studies
Brown and Caldwell has planned and
des(gned hundreds of proJects that
meet public and corporate needs.
For many of these proJects, we have
conducted environmental studies and
(ulfilled regulatory requirements. We
also conduct independent environmen•
tal studies for governmental, industrial,
and commercial clienis.
Our staff includes experts in the
sc(entilic and technical areas that are
cAtical to envlronmental assessment.
Economists, planners, and environ•
mental scientists in our regional of•
flces expedite the permit process
through their familiarity with local
conditions and regulatory require-
ments. Our proJects include:
■ Environmental impact assessments
■ Planning and development of
mitigation measures
■ Permit assistance
■ Siting studies
Geological Sciences
Evaluation o( the geologica� aspects
of proJects is an important element
of many studies and facility designs.
Brown and Caldwell's geologists, geo•
hydrologists, and geophysicists are
involved at the early stages of proj•
ecis to determine geologic conditions
affect(ng sit> se�ection and to coordi�
nate and interpret geotechnical infor•
matlon as an ald to the design team.
They also assess geologic problems
encountered during construction,

solid waste, power distribution, and
drainage control agencies. Our anal•
yses of the financlal, legal, Institu-
tlonal, and operational aspects of
management help these agencies
serve customers e(ficiently while
maintaining tinancial integrity. Devel•
oping sound management pract(ces

■ Assessment o1 revenue requfre�
ments
■ Determfnation ol cost ol service
■ Design of utilfty tadifs
■ Expert tespmony before regulatory
bodles
■ Evaluation of water r(ghts

(314) 43•t-6960
F�virodyne Engineers, Inc. (EEI) is pleased to submit this proposal to conduct
a study of the Iowa City Wastewater System in order to delineate the most cost
effective plan of action.
EEI has a great deal of experience in wastewater system evaluation and design
ranging from the design and construction management of large municipal systems
to specialized studies focusing on improved treatment of specific industrial
wastes. All of our waste treatment projects,�however, share one common goal -
developnent of the lowest cost system which is technologically capable of
attaining the desired or mandated level�of treatment.
We will be supported on this project by�two subcontractors: Bruce A. Liesch
Associates (BAL) and Barry Hogue and Associates (HHA).
BAL is a Minneapolis-based consulting firm specializing in earth sciences.
They vill support EEI on geologic and hydrogeologic aspects of site
investiqations. BAL's Coralville, Iowa office will function as the project
office with Dr. Keith Cherryholmes, Vice President of BAL and formerly Senior
Associate with EEI, serving as local project coordinator.
HHA is a regional planning and economics firm based in 0'Fallon, Illinois. The
firm has extensive applicable experience in community and reqional plannin9,
gr wth and waste projection, and innovative systems of financing and will
support EEI in those areas.
We are confident that your review of the attached proposal and questionnaire
will convince you that we can offer professional, timely, and creative services
which will benefit the City of Iowa City.
Very truly yours,

4. RII.ATIONSHIP OF TEAM FIRMS. The proposed team firms have not worked
together on previous projects. They have, however, established a working rela-
tionship in teaming for bueiness developnent on previous proposals. In addi-
tion, Dr. (nerryholmes, the proposed on-site project coordinator, was a Senior
Associate of EEI for three years preceding his employment with BAL. He is,
thus, quite familiar with EEI's organizational structure, policies and person-
nel, and is in an ideal position to coordinate work flow among the three firms.
The three firms proposed are all highly professional, experienced organizations
with clearly delineated project responsibilities. '1'his, in addition to the
personal familiarity among team members, will assure eificiency of project
performance.

7. PR0.TECT APPROACH. EEI has extensive experience in the performance of
technology:cost evaluations for wastewater treatrnent systems for both qovern-
ment and industry. Based on this experience, our overall approach to projects
such as that proposed is to: 1) clearly define all project goals at the
project's inception; 2) thoroughly examine a11 feasible alternatives to attain
those goals; and 3) define in detail that alternative which will attain those
goals at the lowest short- and long-term costs. Alternatives considered will
not necessarily be limited to those previously developed but, rather, may
include innovative process, management, or financial techniques developed
during the course of our studies.
Two examples of EEI's application of this approach are our 201 Facilities Plan
and WWTP Design for Knoxville, Tennessee and our Engineering Study and Detailed
WWTP Design for Danville, Illinois. Among the principal considerations in
Knoxville were the need for cost:effective expansion of capacity with minimal
disruption of existinq operations. The major alternatives considered were:
1) coordination of the expanded plant with a nearby stormwater treatment facil-
ity, eliminating additional settling basins; 2) attainment of a permit vari-
ance which eliminated the need for activated carbon treatment; and 3) design of
an energy conservation system providing for 85 percent of the plant's auxiliary
incineration fuel needs throuqh preparation and use of digester methane.
The following paragraphs outline our approach to the Iowa City project in terms
of the ten activitiea cited in the project schedule, question 11 of this ques-
tionnaire. There is considerahle overlap among several of these activities and
accomplishment of many of the activities themselves requires integration of
several sub-activities. This manner of presenting our approach is, thus,
goal-oriented rather than a technical explanation of work elements. Having
carried out these types of projects be£ore, we believe this focus on results
rather than techniques to be the proper one.

J
A. Project Initiation Meeting - Immediately following noticr to—proceed, a
--, meeting will be convened in Iowa City to discuss project goals, schedule, and
' the team's understanding of the present status of the wastewater system,
J further needs, and designated points of contact. The project team will be
_. represented by the Project Manager, Mr. Mark Kroenig of EEI, Dr. Keith
� Cherryholmes (Local Coordinator) of BAL, and Mr. 8arry Hogue of BHA. Although
— designation of representatives from the City and other concerned agencies is
the responsibility of the d.ty, we would recommend the attendance of the
.� following as a minimum: City Manager, Neal Serlin; Representative of Waste
' Water Facility Committee; Dr. Richard R. Dague of the University of Iowa.
B. Site Aeconnaissance and On-Site Facilities Evaluation - During the week
followir.g the Initiation Meeting, team personnel will visit the plant site,
review records and plans, and gather information relative to the project.
While the duration of this task is a single week, it is one of the most impor-
tant activities to be carried out in the project. '1'horough underatanding of
the management, processes, and present or projected inadequacies of the treat-
ment system is essential as a basis for conceptualizing alternatives to upgrade
the system. The facilities evaulation will be performed by Mr. Mark Kroenig,
Mr. Bob Bessent, and Mr. Dan Logan of EEI, all of whom have performed similar
evaluations, including a ten-POTW "troubleshooting" project for Region VII
USEPA and several other system-wide studies.

. J� During the same week as the plant evaluations, Mr. Barry Hogue of BHA will
gather information relative to alternate financinq plans and other economic
data.
�
�
'' �
; C. Evaluation and Updating of Existinq Information - 7fie following two-week
i—� period will be spent in studying the information gathered from the standpoints
;� I of process flow, site and corridor conditions, wasteload projections, and
i� economics, both regardinq facility costs and financinq. Information will be
i , updated or corrected as necessary. 7hese activities will be carried out by the
� same personnel as the Facilities Evaluation and Information Gathering with
'—' local assistance from Dr. Cherryholmes of BAL, as needed.
,-�
_; D. Define Alternatives - Durinq the following three weeks, the entire team
will participate in examination of all feasible alternatives for system expan-
--., sion, including process, schedule, and financial considerations. The study
� will include the alternative of improving and expanding the existing plant and
a review of the SSES and I/I study.
�± All other alternatives developed during prior studies will also be considered.
— The team's study, however, will not be limited to previously developed alterna-
tives, and any new anG innovative techniques developed durinq the study will
,� also be recommended to the City for further consideration as the project
progresses.
E. Presentation of Alternatives to the Cit - Subsequent to the developnent
and compilation of alternatives, but prior to any in-depth screening, a meeting
will be held with City representatives to present and explain the alternatives,
discuss any constraints or apparent advantages or disadvantages of each, and
obtain a concensus on subsequent stages of the study. The same personnel
attending the project initiation meetinq will attend this meeting.
F. Screening of Alternatives - Pased on the concensus reached at the presen-
tation, the team will screen the alternatives from both technological and eco-
nomic standpoints. The screening will include processes, schedules, site
conditions, costs, feasibility in terms of opezation, and financing approaches,
as well as any other engineering, planning, or environmental considerations
which might affect any of the alternatives. Since some of the alternatives may
include new or innovative features, not all screening elements can be specified
herein. In addition to the above considerations, however, all elements speci-
fied in USEPA's "Procedures for Coat:Effective Evaluation" will be included.
it is anticipated that the entire team of key personnel will be involved in
this acreening.
G. Project Meeting - Recommend Alternatives - Once the alternatives have been
acreened and the least-cost but technically acceptable alternative selected,
another meeting will be held with City representatives to present team find-
ings, explain advantages and disadvantages of the recommended alternative, and
reach a concensus on the acceptability of the alternative and any necessary
modification thereof. Again, the Project initiation team members will
participaie.
5
H. Draft Report - Both a complete explanation of screening procedures/results
� and a detailed description of the recommended alternative will be presented for
City review in a draft report. The report will include detailed descriptions
of facilities, cost estimates, site requirements and conatraints, sewer
`' charqes, and financing methods. The report will be revised as required and
J resubmitted to the City.
� I, y,7, pgency Review/Final Report - The revised report will be the exclusive
ptoperty of the City and its use will be decided upon by the City. Should the
iCity desire,� however, the team will coordinate Agency review and revise the
� report to teflect Agency comments.
EEI also has the design and construction management capabilities to carry out
' any subsequent phases of the project.

May 27, 1984
Da te
EEI was retained to develop a series of alternative wastewater management plans
that could meet the needs of the study area through the year 2030. The study
was coordinated with other intermediate and long-range water resovrce needa of
the area including water supply, flood control, navigation, flood plain land
use, water-related recreation, and environmental enhancement.
EEI studied governmental components separately, brinqing the planning to appro-
__, priate level of detail, and then incorporated the individual alternatives into
comprehensive regional wastewater manaqement alternatives. To complete neces-
i sary data, an infiltration/inflow survey was conducted in 12 communities in the
f area. EEI had responaibility for the preparation of alternative wastewater
systems including in-depth consideration of: 1) treatment and discharge using
_, advanced biological or physical-chemical technologies; 2) treatment and reuse/
recycling using advanced biological or physical-chemical technologies; and 3)
-� land treatment. Planning was iterative and proceeded from conceptualization
through schematic design and unit cost estimation. EEI worked closely with the
i Huntington District as well as state agencies and regional authorities during
._; this project.

2. City of Knoxville Knoxville TN -
PreaUnent Plant �esi.an an�7 r...,e«�.....�_
Applications and supporting doctanents for permits, grants and financing of a
Facilities 201 Plan were prepared by EEI. Preparation of the facilities plan
included: performance of an infiltration/inflow analysis which revealed a
significant quantity of intrusion into the sewer system; updating of the city's
land use planp performance of an inventory of industrial contributors to the
sewerage system and an inventory of the system itselfj assistance in the prepa-
ration of a new sewer use ordinance and rate schedule; and projection of future
0
: �
flows and the contributing population. From this information, various waste-
water trea4nent alternatives were deveJ.oped and evaluated relative to their
cost and environmental effects. The most cost-effective alternative was
selected based upon this evaluation ar.d an engineering report was prepared to
include construction and operation and maintenance cost estimatea, design cri-
teria, and a plant layout. All information was compiled into a facilities plan
for the city which also outlined future actions relative to wastewater treat-
ment. Other pertinent aspects of the project included developnent of a public
information program, subsurface investigations, site evaluations, assistance in
property acquisition negotiations and property and topographic surveys, pzepa-
ration of technical information for rate and bond schedules. The critical
review of the entire trea4nent works indicated that the treaUnent plant would
have to be upgraded in order to accomodate the expected hydraulic and organic
loads. EEI developed plans and specifications for upgrading that facility and
manaqed the construction supervision for the expanded facility which was
completed in 1982.
3. Town of LaPlata, LaPlata, FID - Treatment Alternative Design; Detailed
Design of Selected Treatment Scheme
Population projections showed that the town's existing treatment plant capacity
would be exceeded before a regional plant run by the county became available to
the town. LaPlata retained EEI to conduct a thorough study of possible treat-
ment alternatives to be used as an interim measure or in lieu of the regional
system.
EEI projected wastewater flows for LaPlata through 1990 based on existing
records and planning documents. EEI also analyzed flow characteristics and
projected future sewage strength to develop design criteria for a treaLnent
facility with a design life of 75 years. EEI then investigated five possible
treatrnent alternatives including: t) upgrading the existing 600,000 GPD
facility to a one MGD capacity; 2) building a new plant; 3) continuing to use
the existing plant as a primary and roughing plant with additional treatment
provided by a small polishing lagoon; 4) building an effluent trunk sewer and
pumping station to pump effluent to a land disposal field for spray irrigation
system; and 5) making minor changes in the existing plant and constructing an
interceptor sewer to a new smaller plant with an aerated lagoon which would
handle diecharges from projected residential developments in the area.
EEI recommended selection of Alternative 2. mo facilitate funding aqd maintain
flexibility with zegard to regional plans, EEI recommended construction in two
phases. EEI prepared a process design and cost analysis and also worked with
county officials to revise the regional plan so as to incorporate the town's
plant. Upon finalization of the regional plan, EEI prepared detailed plans and
specifications for LaPlata's facility.
4. MSDGCr Chicago, IL - Detailed Design of Northside Treatment Plant Expansion
MSDGC retained EEI to evaluate various alternatives to accomodate expansion of
�, the plant capabilities. Detailed design and specifications were recently
— completed on several airlift pivnp stations, aeration basin modifications, and
large primary and secondary clarifiers. In addition, EEI prepared a detailed
F]
�
�
cost estimate for all major eqaipment items, piunps, piping, etc. for future bid
purposes. It should be noted that the project has not been constructed as yet,
and EEI aspires to be selected for the role of construction management on the
project.
5. City of Marion, Marion, IL - Development of Was
EEI collected composite samples from the sewer and industrial lines which
connected or were planned to connect into the community sewage treatment
facility. 1fie loadinqs and flows were evaluated for each component. A weighed
composite was prepared and design parameters were determined for upyrading the
treahnent plant.
6. Greater Peoria Sanitary District, Peoria, IL - Sewer System Evaluation
EEI compiled data for sewez use from such sources as sewer maps, water use
records, wastewater flows, growth projections, and industrial and commercial
developnent plans.
The District's existinq sewer system was examined in detail to determine size
and grade of lines, physical conditions of the sewers, problem areas of grit
deposition and high water marks in manholes. Flow measurements were made at
critical points in the system and major sources of inflow into the sewers were
identified.
Based on this data, alternative solutions to the District's sewer system prob-
lems were developed and evaluated. Preliminary drawings were made of selected
alternatives, and were presented to the District along with preliminary cost

EEI, as a major participant in the RETA/NOLTE joint venture performed the final
design for the South San Francisco/San Bruno in-plant improvements. In the
headworks building, new influent samplers for sampling three influent waste
streams separately and a new screening disintegrator were specified. The grit
chamber was modified to install a new grit collection and conveyor of increased
capacity to handle the amount of grit. Various piping modifications and a
redesign of an existing channel were made to relieve hydraulic restrictions and
operating problems in the aeration tanks. A new surface acum collection system
was designed for the secondary clarifiers to meet state requirements. The RAS
system was modified to allow a greater rate of return activated sludge and a
sludge division box was added to allow better control of the return activated
sludge to the three aeration tank baCteries. Both modifications would result
in improved operations of the plant.
To provide energy savings, a heat recovery system was designed to capture the
heat from the water cooled engines used on the aerators. In this closed
system, the heat is transmitted to the sludge digesters, where it provides
auxiliary heat thus saving operational costs for gas heating.

A new 2000 Kw diesel generator is being installed to increase the standby power
.� capaclty in the event of an electric utility failure. All vital treatment
plant facilities would be able to maintain operation.
For the Cities of Millbrae and Burlingame, EEI designed a new belt filter
sludge dewatering facility. With the impending closure of the existing sani-
tary landfill site, the existing centrifuge would not provide the solids con-
centration required from both an economic analysis of hauling costs and the new
landfill site requirement for solids concentration. The belt filter facility
with a 9 ton/day capacity would provide an economic solution considering both
capital and operations and maintenance costs. As a member of the joint ven-
ture, EEI provided Step III construction services to the Cities of South San
Francisco/San Eruno.
8. City of Griffith, IN - Infiltration/Inflow Study
EEI conducted field checks of twelve key manholes located in subsections of
Griffith's total sewer system. Flow recorders were utilized continuously over
a 48-hour period to obtain data on peak dry weather flows and expected infil-
tration. EEI worked closely with Griffith's Director of Utilities and a local
contractor to study the age and types of material used in the sewer system.
Zn the�drainaqe area of each key manhole, EEI determined sewer footage and
respective diameters to convert infiltration flow into gallons per day per inch
diameter/mile of sewer. Current sewage pianpage data were included in the final
report. In addition, EEI determined the relationship of existing population
and industrial discharge contributions to current flow vol�nes and prepared
preliminary cost estimates (for the design life of the sewer system and treat-
ment works) for both correction of the infiltration/inflow conditions and for
incceasing the capacity of the treatment works to handle additional flow.
9. Danville Sanitary District, Danville, IL - Wastewater
A facilities plan and preliminary engineering study was conducted for the
Sanitary District to determine the most cost-effective method for upgrading an
existing wastewater treatment facility. The choaen alternative expands the
hydraulic capacity of the plant from 8 MGD to 16 MGD average daily flow while
upgrading its capacity from secondary to tertiary treatment. Included in this
alternative are additions or modifications to the aeration and secondary
settling basins, intermediate pump station, multi-media filters, chlorination
facilitiea and total sludge disposal systems including the upgrading of exist
ing anaerobic digesters to complex mix high rate units, dewatering by centri-
fugation and a pne�nnatic sludge transport system to incineration. New and
expanded maintenance and adminiatratio facilities have also been included in
the overall plan to upgrade the existing plant. The cost-effectiveness of this
alternative was predicated on three major points: t) coordination with nearby
atormwater treatment facility to negate the necessity for additional primary
settling basins; 2) total energy conservation system which prepares and uti-
lizes digester gas for approximately 85 percent of the incineration auxiliary
fuel needs; and 3) attainment of a variance permitting less stringent discharqe
criteria, thereby removing the need for further treat�nent via activated carbon
adsorption.
11
Following client approval of the chosen alternative, EEI prepared detailed
plans, specifications and contract docunents for upgradinq the facility and
provided bid assistance to the sanitary district. Bids within the allotted
budqet were received for construction. EEI also provided construction compli-
ance assistance during the conetruction period. Following construction, EEI
developed an operation and maintenance manual and assisted in facility start-up
and operator training.
10. Danville Sanitary District, Danville, IL - Economic Evaluation Study
A financial needs study was performed to predict the revenues required to off-
set operation and maintenance costs. Alternate means for accruing monies and
various billing systems were evaluated. Domestic and industrial user charge
ordinances were developed in order to fairly assess contributors according to
the impact of their discharge upon the sewerage system. EEI assisted the Dis-
trict in negotiations with other service companies and financial institutions.
Neqotiations were complicated by the fact that the area served by the District
did not coincide with other municipal services.
The system chosen integrated computer billing from other municipal services
with the District's computerized billing and collection system. After 2 years
on-line, the system achieved over 97 percent return'on its billings, a rate
accurately predicted by EEI during preliminary estimates of actual revenue
collections.
11. City of Minot, ND - Preliminary Wastewater Treatment Plant Study, Detailed
Design, Construction Management
Based on the previously referenced material, it was decided that two new cells
be added to the already existing contact stabilization pond system. Fbllowing
this decision, EEI developed a detailed set of plans and specifications and a
cost estimate for contractor bidding purposes. fbllowing regulatory agency
approval of these plans and specifications, EEI provided construction manage-
ment services when the new lagoons were being built. In addition to designing
two 160-acre lagoons, EEI designed a new effluent pump station for the upgraded
system and modified two existinq lift stations by specifying new pumps.
12. City of Pevely, MO - Wastewater Treatment Plant Troubleshootin9
The City of Pevely wastewater treatrnent plant (activated sludge) was experienc-
ing excesaive eolids in its effluent and requested that EEI evaluate the cause
, of the problem. Following an on-site evaluation of the situation (solids
— analyses and settling tests, etc.), it was determined that the solids loading
on the secondary clarifier was excessive. Fbllowing futher research into the
� situation, it was recommended that an additional clarifier be added to the
_., plant to handle the excess solids loading. EEI took the concept and developed
a set of detailed design drawings and specificationa for the construction of
�, the new clarifier. In addition, EEI developed the pretreatment ordinance and
for the City as well as a user rate achedvle.

13. USEPA, Re ion VII - Wastewater Treatment Plant Troubleshooting Activities
Under a quick-response contract with EPA Research Triangle Park, NC, EEI con-
ducted a troubleshooting program at approximately ten POTWs. The objectives of
the program included the following.
a) Through effluent quality evaluations, determine where compliance prolr
lems exist at the plant and if they exist due to faulty equipnent, under-design
operation of the facility, industrial influent upset, etc.
b) Recommend methods to improve treaUnent efficiency by treatment plant
expansion, modification of operational procedures, incorporation and enforce-
ment of pretreatrnent regulations, etc.
c) If expansion is appropriate, recommend the type of technology which
would bring about compliance.
14. Village of Sauget, IL - American Bottoms Regional Wastewater Treatment
EEI was asked to conduct a treatability study on the influent to the proposed
American Bottoms Regional wastewater Treatment Facility. Seing approximately
90 percent industrial wastewater, the question was asked whether it could be
treated biologically. EEI conducted a biotreatability study on the waste
stream over a period of about 3 months. Design criteria for the full-scale
system was developed as a result of the study. A modified sludge system was
found to be effective treating the complex organic wastes. During the detailed
design phase of this project, EEI engineers contributed plans and specifica-
tions for electrical and structure aspects of the proposed system. The
full-scale plan is presently in the construction phase.

Today's Water Pollution Control
problems are not simple. Many con•
siderations must be evaluated before
effective solutions can be reached.
Regulations are be�omin9 increas�
ingly more stringent and compli•
cated. Energy and chemical costs for
trea[ment are continually rising. The
changing of liquid pollutants into
solid or airborne material in many
cases only makes solutions to [hese
problems more complex.
Solutions to complex problems are
our business and have been for over
25 years. During that time, we've
served clients in industry and
government from California [o the
U.S. Virgin Islands.
Our staff of registered professional
engineers, technicians, chemis[s,
biologists and systems analysts holds
a high percentage of advanced
degrees to back up a wealth of
experience. They're trained to solve
problems from start to finish.
Our record of successfully
completed projects proves it.
Trouble-shooting existing trea[ment
plants, developing pre�trea[ment
programs, solving wastewater odor
problems, planning for present and
future systems, designing treatmen[
systems for complex wastewater—all
are projec[s Envirodyne has taken on

Comprehensiveness is the key. Envirodyne's "Big Picture"
approach takes into account all aspects of a problem.
Factors such as regulatory restrictions, capital and 0&M
costs and the disposal of treatment bv�products are all
cansidered.
We understand that in order to reach a full set of
solutions, You need a full range of services. Envirodyne has
it all—from sampling and analysis, through design,
construction and operator training.
We maintain the equipment and personnel necessary to
analyze water and wastewater to the le[ter of required
analytical and chain�of•cus[ody protocol. For new facilities,
we have [he expertise to perform conceptual and prelimin�
ary designs, as well as detailed plans and specifications. We
can assis[ during construction of a new control system by
reviewing bids, supervising construction, preparing 0&M
manuals and training operators. For existing facilities, we're
experienced in providing optimization of energy and
chemical usage and streamlining personnel requirements
through better process systems control.
Whether your pollution problems are rela[ively routine or
one�of-a•kind, Your solution is—Envirodyne. We look fonvard
to servin9 you.

Mr. Neal G. Berlin, City Manager
J City of Iowa City
910 East Washington Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Deax Mr. Berlin:
We have received your April 10, 1984 request for study proposals through Allen
Water & Wastewater Engineering, Inc. of Fairfield, Iowa. We are interested in
being considered for this assignment and would propose to work with Tom Allen.
Tom was formerly a member of our organization and we are confident of an
excellent working relationship.
You have asked £or a creative approach to the solution of your wastewater
problems, and have expressed an interest in privatization. We are
uniquely qualified to pzovide the services requested. Our team's record
of developin9 innovative solutions exempli£ies our ability to provide an
independent evaluation of the existing facilities and the previously
completed detailed design so that the best combination of new and exist-
ing ideas are molded into an overall solution. We are familiar with the
potential benefits and pitfalls of privatization. Williams & Works has
worked with Arthur Young G Associates to develop three detailed privati-
zation proposals.
After all of the changes in the project during the last couple of years, it
will be most important to develop community support fox the project. The
evaluation must be perceived by the public to be completely without bias. We
are therefore proposing that you consider retaining us to do just the initial
study and to work with you in evaluating or managing subsequent steps in the
implementation of your program. This will allow you to define the project and
the financing plan before selecting a firm for design work.
If the most practical solution lends itself to privatization, having the
detailed design done by the private constructor/owner/operator would probably
maximize the benefits bf the privatization approach.
If the most practical solution does not lend itself to privatizationr the City
could then select a design firm (or firms) based on criteria strictly related
to demonstrated ability to satisfactorily execute detailed working drawings.
�S7
-,
^. Mr. Neal G. serlin, City Manager
-" City of Iowa City
� May 21, 1984
Page Two
If the most practical solution leads itself to contract operations, the City
could then select a contract operator on a competitive basis.
The following quotations from pa9e 13 of the Arthur Young privatization study
are appropriate.
y The national market for private sector ownezship and operation of
�� "sewage treatment facilities is now recognized to be in the billions
of dollars. Many companies are mobilizing resources to establiah
strang competitive positions."
`J
'�
U
"Fizms in the contract operations business are competitively bidding
and ag9reasively pursuing contract 0&M wastewater treatment opportun-
ities."
Arthur Young also strongly recommends that the City retain the right of over-
sight throu9h independent firms (both financial and operations). Our value
engineering experience and our operation management experience lead us to the
same conclusion.
�'� We are experienced in all aspects of wastewater treatment, and our team :ts
! i..: capable of providing the design, construction-management, value engineerin9,
' and contract operation if you so desire. Also, if desired, we could put
r� together an expanded team for privatization. However, we believe that the
i�; review and development of alternatives as outlined in your RFP can best be
' accomplished by a team that is to be paid for the value of their counsel,
� �., rather than via anticipated profits from design, construction, financing, or
I ' operation.
I ti
��
�
i j
i
In reading over the facility plan and reviewing the documents furnished prior
to writing this'letter, we could not help but have cost savin9.ideas. These
ideas are in addition to the alternatives listed in the RFP Attachment 3 and in
the Dague-Kimm report. It is our opinion that there are real possibilities for
an $18 to $20 million zeduction in coats to the benefit of the entire coa�u-
nity.
We are excited over the possibility af working with Iowa City and look fozward
to having an opportunity to present our credentials and cost reducing ideas in
person.
Yours very truly,

our approach to privatization under Tab 5. It should be noted that this
was prepared before the presently proposed tax bill, HR 3110.
Ouestion No. 10
List and describe completed wastewatez or other municipal
projects involving innovative funding methods, processes and
construction techniques. Include construction costs and the
name and phone number of a city official familiar with the
project and the team members' participation.
Response
The City of Detroit final clarifier modifications project involved
innovative clarifier evaluation, design, prototype testingr and full-
scale construction which improved the secondary clazifier hydraulic
capacity and saved $28 million in clarifier construction costs. Williams
& Works won the 1980 Grand Conceptor Award of the American Consulting
Engineers Council for this project.
The City of Ludin9ton wastewater treatment facility is a system o= two
aerated lagoons followed by chemical precipitation in the wastewater
plant. The lagoons are arranged in such a manner that the facility can
take about six times the dry weather flow, while the chemical precipita-
tion was designed to operate on a one-shift basis, 8 hours a day - 5 days
a week basis.
Mr. Allen, while affiliated with a previous firm, was the Project
Engineer for the innavative Pairfield, Iowa wastewater treatment plant.
Approximately SOa of the entire 52.7 million project was declared
"Innovative" under the EPA guidelines for special increased Federal
Grants. The oxidation ditch system was desi9ned for carbonaceous BOD
removal, nitrification, and denitrification with no requirements for
�VIL[.IA�iti �7 W'CNZK•'�
a
auxiliary chemical addition. The aeration system consists of draft tube
aerators to reduce power requirements. The disposal of secondary sludge
is incorproated as a function of the stoxm flow equalization system.
The Fairfield, Iowa wastewater improvement project, at Mr. Allen's
sug9estion and with his assistance, was the first city in Iowa to take
advantage of the anti-arbitrage Iowa financing law. This saved the city
approximately 25$ of their local financing requirements.

PROJECT COST:
Williams & Works has been actively engaged in several
projects for the City of Detroit since late 1977.
These projects covered various phases of the 805 mgd
pure oxygen activated sludge plant and included:
o A major two-year study effort which produced more
than a dozen reports concerning the liquid treat-
ment portions of the plant. This work included
the activation, operation, and maintenance of a 60
gpm pilot plant and operation of our own on-site
laboratory.
o A court-ordered evaluation of the capabilities of
the treatment plant. This included monitoring of
the plant operation and performance, and assisting
the plant management in the day-to-day operation
of the facilities. The conclusions from this
study were used to establish effluent limitations
for the plant.
o The preparation of plans and specifications, now
complete, foz six constrvction contracts under the
first phase of design work in 1978-80.
o Accelerated planning and design of the 300 ton per
day centrifuge dewatering system, subsequent
construction administration assistance and prepa-
ration of an operation and maintenance manual.
o Conceptual development, prototype testing, and
final design of the secondary clarifier inlet

Williams & Works was responsible for the planning and
design services for the upgrading and expansion of an
existing trickling filter plant. The project
involved designing a side stream flow equalization
basin, adding an additional trickling filter, design-
ing a new aeration/solid contact basin, modifying
existing secondary clarifiers, designing a new
chlorination system, adding a new dechlorination-
polishin9 pond, adding return sludge pumping and new
phosporus removal chemical facilities. The key to
the upgrading was the design of the innovative/

PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:
COt7PLETION DATE:
ENGINEERING COST:
I9illiams & Works completed a six-month evaluation
study of the 250 mgd Metropolitan Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant serving Minneapolis/St. Paul. This study
involved assessing the actual treatment capability of
the entire facility and included an intensive ten-
week on-site observation period. The conclusions
from this study were used to establish effluent
limitations for the plant.
The study required a thorough review of the sludge
and liquid treatment process as well as the relation-
ship to both present and future discharge criteria.
The processes evaluated included thermal condition-
ing, return liquor sidestream tzeatment, sludge
dewatering, and incineration.
Assistance in planning for the start-up and full
utilization of improvements which were under con-
stzuction was provided and recommendations to the
operating staff were made.
One unusual observation arising in the course of this
study was that improved pretreatment by a local paper
industry may reduce future sludge dewaterability due
to a reduction in total sludge fiber content.
The evaluation was required to identify the causes
for failure of the operation to routinely meet its
established limits to the Mississippi River as well
as the atmosphere. The study report inclnded recom-
mendations for procedural and equipment modifications
to enable the effluent limitations to be met.

DESCRIPTION: A value engineering study was pezformed for a 13 mgd
expansion to the cities' wastewater treatment facil-
ity. The existing 20 mgd plant was designed by
Henningson Durham and Richardson, Inc., with Culp/
Wesner/Culp as subcontractor. Expansion design had
begun with the expectation of EPA funding. However,
by the time of the VE study, it was realized the
project would have to be supported with 1008 local
funds. At that time, design of various units ranged
from 50� to 1008 complete.
Due to the sensitive nature of the review, our value
engineering team consisted of senior staff. The
study's recommended changes indicated a$5 million
project decrease from the original $25 million

NAME OF PROJECT: Evaluation of Wastewater Txeatment Plant Capabilities
Battle Cseek, Michigan
PA07ECT
DESCRIPTION: An evaluation was made of the city's existing waste-
water treatment facilities. With construction
beginning on Phase II of a treatment plant expansion,
the plant had to operate with existing facilities
during the interim. Interim effluent limitations,
based on an average flow of 15.5 mqd, were issued to
the city in 1979. An evaluation was requested during
1980 when the plant was not able to consistently meet
the eFfluent limitations.
The study recommended raising the existing effluent
limitations to more closely conform with existing
sludge process capabiliti>s. Approximately 75
percent of the flow and wasteload to the plant is
from industry. The wastewater contains hi9h soluble
BOD and suspended solids -- almost twice the strength
of normal domestic wastewater. To improve the sludge
settling capabilities, the study also reco�mnended
nutrient addition to the waste stream to eliminate
Pilamentous organisms.

top prize for engineering excellence
given by the Americnn Consulting
Engineers Council, was presented to
lhe conaulting engineering firm of
�yilliums nnd \9orks, Grnnd Rapida,
at n ceremony in Wnehington, D.C.
7'he lle[roit project won one of 16
nwnrds tiiven by n pnnel of 11 judgea
representinq govcrnment, induehy
nnd other ficlda.
It involved study nnd lesLs of mod-
ificulions ta inereuse lhecnpucity of
thc huge finnl clarifiers of lhe trent-
ment pinnt Uy n third. 7'he incrense
wne required by chnn�;es in federul
Bnvironmental Protection Agency
nnd Michignn Depnrlment of Natu-
ral Resources regulntions. Effluent
from the plant, one of the lurgest in
the world nnd serving three million
people and thousands of industries,
could not meet the new regulntions.
Conslructian of new fncilities would
have required extensive Innd ucqui-
sition and relocution uf residents.
Willinme & 19orka designed
changes in the inlet slructures to the
clarifiers, reducing the velocity of
the flow of wnste inlo the clarifiera,
raieing the levcl at which �vaste was
introduced nnd adding n series ot
fibergl¢ae bafflea ta further disperse
the flow of phosphorous-removing
liquid ucrosa the fuce of the clurifi-
ers.
A full scnle test model was
installed ut u cost of 5411,000. The
estimnted cost of instnllation in the
remnining 24 clurificrs is $4 million,
which represents a snving ot $27
million over the wst otconslructing
additiona] clnrifiers.
The city of Detroit hus awarded a
contrnct for modificntion of the
remaining clarifiers to Dynamic
Conet. of Detroit.
"This project provides untold ben-

lution control plants nsually requires
a three shiEt operation. For ]arge plants
tliat provide seeondary treatment or for
small planGs that providc tertiary treatment,
a three shiEt operation is oEten required
far continuous supervision and control oE
one or more of the unit processes. To
supply operator attenHon Eor three sliifts,
385 days/yr, n minimum of five operatars
is required. The salary and wages oE &ve
men represent a cast of $150 to $200/mil
gal af How for a 1.0-mgd plant. Mnny
sma]]er communiNes are unable to pravide
supervision and maintenunce on a three
shift basis because of tlie cost invoived. A
design permitting one shift oper3tion wauld
be more suitable for these communities.
Such a design, �vhich uses aerated ]agoons
and one sl�ift opernHon of pl�osphorus re-
moval facilities, was adopted for thc wastc-
wnter treutment p]nnt that is now under
construction in Ludington, Mich.
The process consists bazically of nerated
Ingoan trentment, followed by ]ime pre-
cipitation nnd chlorinntion. Tlie lime pre-
cipitaHon is primarily for thc purpose of
phosphorus remavnl, witU incidentnl im-
provement in tl�e quality of tlie eI{luent.
The upAow Unsins tliat arc used for lime
precipitation nre sized to petmit thcir
o�erntian on a onc sl»ft Unsis, with no
dtsclmrge during the rest of tl�e time.
This is nccomplisl�ed by allowing the w¢tcr
Icvel in the acrated Ingoons to rise nnd fall,
and tlms the necessary stomge is provided.
This trentment plant will tl�ereforc hnve to
be nttended ouly during the dny sl�ift,
except on those days following n rainEall.
Undcr such circumstnnces it mny Ue neccs-
snry to run the cl�emical precipitaHon units

The design criteria on which the Luding-

been Uased wcre derived from a review
of d�ta an the quality of the eHiuent from
existing aerated lagoons in the neighbor-
ing wmmunity of Clare, Mich, nnd on the

studies. Because the chemical precipitn-
tion for pl�osphorus removal requires close
operator attention, a numUer of design
clinnges were madc to oUtain one shift
operation of tlie phosphorus remova] facili-
ties. A flow diagram of the proposed
facility, wl�ich l�as bcen under rnnstruc-
tion since 1972, is shown in Figure 2. The
facility is designed for an average dnily
flow oF 2.5 mgd (9,470 cu m/day), with
a m�uimum sustained (low of 7,5 mgd
(28,410 cu m/day).
The chemical precipitaHon units are
sized for a Aow rnte of 7.5 mgd (28,910
cu m/dny), nnd thus the trentment of 2.5

ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards
American Consulting Engineers Council changed
the rules for this yenr's Engineering Excellence
Awards to enwurnge competition Uehveen similar
kinds and sizes ofprojects representative ofthe work
going through consulting engineers' offices.
The 82 entries were judged in one of four
categories: category A, research (11 entries); B, wn-
sul[ant services (1G entries); C, desi�n services for
projects with construction wsts of $3 million or more
(30 entries); and D, design services for projects with
construction wsts less than $3'million (25 entries).
The Grand Conceptor went to Krameq Chin &
�Tayo, Ine., Seattle, forthe Seattle Aquarium, built nt
a wst of $5.3 million, with provision Cor expnnsion,
the first man-made salmon run, and unusual viewing
of the Puget Sound undenvater environment.
Fourteen other entries won Honor Awards and
five ofthese involved environmentnl clennup in onc
fomi or anothcr. Twa firms utilizcd sprny irrigation
oftreated efftuent. Willinms & Works (with t6e Uni-
versity of Miehigan) demonstrated dmt a marsh
could benefit from the lreatment. The Dufresne-
Henry Engineering Corp. design protects the deli-
cate ew system of n ski resort town in Vermont.
Two renuvations also cnught the judges� eyes: n
church dnting back to 18G7 nnd n 50-ycar-old high
school, Loomis nnd Loomis brnced thc cmnpanilc
and sliored the nnvc roof nf (he Church of the Cuud
Shcpherd in Hnrtford, Connecticut, while rclurning
t6e interior to its originnl grandcur. \tission Iiigh
School in San rr.mcisco pmsunled other problems
for Sh�ipiro, Okino, Hom nnd Associnles — mecling

in upgrnding of official highway bridge standazds.
These are just a few examples of the special prob-

- An Eitluent Irrigation Project
Houghton Lake Sewer Authority
Williams & Works
r
In 1971, during the design of the Tri-Township
treahnent segment ofthe Houghton Lake nren sc�v�r
_ system in Roscammon County, \(ichigan, the con-
sulting firtn determined thnt tlicre was a possibility
of obtaining a dual benefit from the disposal of
trcated effluent into a nearby mnrsh:
— § Thc extension of thc trentment system inlo the
natural irrigntion nrea would save approximately
$700,000 over the eost oF n conventional irrigntion
..
nrcn.
§ Thc application of lhe ef(lucnt might improve thc
prodtmtivity ofthe mnrsh nrca by incrensing the food
supply, which in turn would enwurnge the prolifern-
tion of wildlife.
At lhnt lime, there was no precedent for wcllnnds
irrigation in Atichignn. 4Vlien thc consulting finn
presented tl�c coucept to a joint mceting of sevcrnl
gnvernmentai ngencics in L;msing, slnlc offici:dx

tion wns filed for n Nntional Scicncc Foundnlion

r—
The U of M first examined the 2000-acre marsh,
which is ]ocated at the edge of thick woods. The
marsh itself is a vast expanse of tall grass, wild
(iowurs, and a few trees. Extensive water qualit},
tests were made to detennine tl�e type of surface
wxters in Hll! 5W811127 HO(I I}IL' location and flow of
groundwater sources. Tests indicated that the soils
are of pext nnd deep muck. Clippings from every
type of plant in 256 sqaare meter areas and insect
samples were collected.
\'ext, a]imited irrigation test program wus con-
ducted using w;istewaler in a very small nrea. When
the planl and insect sampling wns repeated, it was
apparent thut thc irrigation had produced no advcrse
efficts un the swamp.
The organic deposils demonstrated excellent
capnbilities for the removnl of nutrients withaut
overloading. During 1975 and 1976, approximately
12.5 million gallons of water were applied and con-
tinued favorable results were obtained.
The primary source of concern is changes that
might occur in the plant or animal life in the marsh.
Documentation obtained from the analysis of plant
cuttings and insects is oFgreat impodance, because
the marsh is an extremely delicate eco system and
any significant chnnge or disturbance is reflected
very quickly. The experience with the rushes is an
example. Repeated trips from a smull holding pond
to the irrigation area wure a path through the marsh
grass. In 1975, n wooden wulkway was built and the
palh was used very little. In a few weeks, die path
was completely overgrown, Uut with a significant
difference. Instead of marsh grass, the new growth
was a member of the rush specie found in the
swmnp; the disturbance caused Uy the path �vas still
clearly discerniUle due to the change in the plants.
Therc were similnr examples, but the analysis of
ench experiencc indicated thnt the impact af the
irrigation project was minimnl. The marsh was not
damaged; the only effect was that thc pinnts were
somewhnt larger mid grcener. This lack of negntive
impuct led to the wnclusion that iaigation oftrented
effluent into the natural areu was Censible.

BACKGROUND
In 1892, T.O. Williams set up a practice in Gra
Rapids with emphasis on surveying, railroa
locations, drains, flow surveys for hydroelectric
plants, land drainage design, roads,and prop-
erty surveys. In 1923, W.B. Williams and Fred
Works became a part of the organization. in
1924, Williams & Works was incorporated.
Fall of 1929 marked the beginning of the
Great Depression and Williams & Works
was not spared its effecls. By July o( 1931,
staff was reduced to tour officers. On the
morning of July 28, Fred Works and D'Arcy
Wernette were on their way to make a surve
when their car was struck by a train, killing th
both instantly. Their shares in the firm were pu�-
chased by the corporation, leaving T.O. Williams
and his son, W.B., the only shareholders and the
only employees. Today the tirm is
- employee-owned with nearly hal( of
ail staff inembers owning stock.
From this beginning, Wiiliams
_ & Works has become one of
Michigan's larger consulting organi-
zations, providing a diverse array of
professional services to governmen-
— tal, private, and industriai clients
nationwide. T. C. Williams, PE, RLS,
grandson of the founder, is now
Chairman of the Board and S. E.
Wiiliams, PE, a great-grandson, is
aiso active in the (irm.

Iowa City Wastewater Plan - Alternative Study
Deer *1r. Berlin and Members of the Selection Co�ittee:
On behalf of the proposed project team, thank you for your consideration of
this proposal. We at Burns & McDonnell have long recognized and observed
the issue facing you concerning your wastewater management obligations. A
challenging opportunity is now presented to which we are anxious to commit
our resources. We firmly believe thae you have a number of directions in
which you can lead your City in an effort to meet your wastewater management
goals at a lower overall cost.
In the following twenty-five pages, we have tried to stress three distinct
ideas. Those are that:
o We propose a highly qualified, well rounded Project staff to do
the study.
o Our project approach recognizes the fundamental circumstances which
now exist, and are far different from those under which previous
planning was done, and establishes a program to identify cost
saving engineering, institutional, and financing alternatives.
o Burns & McDonnell has tackled similar problems on previous projects
and has developed or used innovations in engineering and financing
to get the client on the track to success.
These factors combine to ensure you that the study effort by our team will
present a comprehensive effort. If a less expensive means to satisfying your
basic goals exists, we will find it.
The project team proposed to work with you consists of a tailored blend of
capabilities. IIurns & McDonnell has complete in-house resources to address
wastewater en�ineering and alternative financing and management issues.
Hawkeye Engineering will work closely with us to ensure the realities of the
local situation are accurately reflected in the work product to you. We can
also call upon other team members with whom we work on wastewater and other
"privatization" efforts.

May 22, 1984
Your required study elements will be fully evaluated under the proposed project
approach. Since the greatest possible savings can only be found in that which
is to be constructed, we propose to thoroughly evaluate existing information,
your goals, and current plans. The application of altemative plans and
innovative wastewater concepts will be evaluated in depth. Then, with
engineering alternatives selected, potential savings from alternative
financing concepts and management, including privatization, wi11 be evaluated.
This approach to solving your dilemma has been used by Burns & McDonnell on
previous projects as is noted in this proposal. As has been previously
introduced to you, the Surns 6 McDonnell Treatment System may be an innovative
alternative for you to consider. Actual bid prices received on six plants to
date are demonstrating construction cost savings. We have used, are using,
or have developed other unique innovations as well.
We look forward to being able ta work with you to address these issues.
Perhaps of most impor[ance is our enthusiasm towards our work. We take the
extra effort to work with our clients, to make them a key participant in
the project solutions. We want to do ehe same with you.

The previously reEerenced organization chart exhibits information regarding
the project team and its struceure. We have proposed direct involvement by
only one subcontractor on the team, that being Haakeye Engineering.
Hawkeye Engineering� located in Coralville, vi11 assist Burns 6 McDonnell
in the deveLopmene of engineering alternatives and cost evaluations. Their
local presence will be crucial to meaningful evaluation of the engineering
alternatives. They will ensure that the alternatives to be evaluated wi11
be realistic in terms of ehat Which can and cannot be done.
The Project Organization exhibits "as-needed" support Erom three other
Eirms; Encorp, Pirst Boston and Government Management Corporation. These
firms represent the canstruction, financing and management concerns of the
team vith vhich Burns 6 McDonnell pursues privatization projects. The
proposed study is not likely to require their extensive participation; they
may be caLled upon to provide general input, particuLarLy as related to.
financing oE improvements and with evaluation of the privatization concept.
4. PREVIOUS TEAM PEiOJECTS
Burns 6 McDonnell and Hawkeye Engineering have not vorked together on
previous projects, therefore no references can be provided.
Burns & McDonnell has worked vith Encorp, First Eoston and GMC. Encorp is
a sister Eirm af Burns 6 McDonnell both being in the Professional Services
Division as wholLy-ovned subsidiaries of Armco Inc. We have teamed with
each other for previous projects.
First Boston provides Einancing to Armco Eor major projects - chus has
ciorked with Armco and Encorp and, to a lessor extent, Burns & McDonnell.
GMC and Burns 6 McDonnell has worked cLosely on previous and current
privatizacion projects. We teamed to submit a proposal to Chandler,
Arizona. We are currently involved in a smaller privatiza[ion effort Eor
Lexington, Missouri.
Since Encorp, First Boston and CMC are only ancilLary to [his study, no

7. PftOJECT APPROACH
a. Statement of Problem and Approach Coal
The City of Iowa City has conducted planning for a Long-term major
construction program to meet the vastewater collection, conveyance, and
treatment needs of the City and environs. This pLanning was done in the
expectation of substantial grant assistance to finance construction. Now,
prospects for such funding are efEectively eliminated. The City continues
to have valid waseewater construction needs thus must ideneiEy ways to meet
those needs at reasonable cost.
Our approach will require a reanalysis oE ehe fundamental gaals and
assumptions of the City without "reinventing the wheel." We propose to
perform a study vhich will review previously developed planning and
reports, identify valid alternatives, investigate phasing; empLoy
innovative engineering, process, construction and funding programs, and
incorpora[e elements of innovative financing and privatization. The final
goal aE this effort vill be to recognize the most practical management and
engineering approach at a cos[ vhich is acceptable to the system user.

Our approach vill involve an integrated engineering, management, and
financing program to produce the best technically and economicatly balanced
solution to the City's needs.
b. Study Elements - Engineering Alternatives
The most significant reductions in anticipated user costs are to be
achieved through impLementation of a Less castly engineering p1an. To
achieve a Less costly engineering pian, our proposed approach wi11 stress
identification o£ the following:
o prioritized City goals.
o alternative L/I correction methods.
o alternative interceptor sec+er routings and sizings.
o aLternative treatment plant Locations, processes and capacities.
o phasing of improvements to reEiect correction of priority problems and
long-term goals.
We wouid propose to rely heavily upon data developed by Veenstra fi Kimm,
therefore limiting the data gathering effort. We would, however, question
and verify or revise assumptions made upon vhich existing proposals and
improvement plans are based.
Having revieved a11 engineering and planning reports and defined or
� redefined the criteria around which the proposed improvements muse be
-' developed, our engineers vould proceed to develop the engineering
alternatives. Ge wouLd identify alternatives for: correction of
� I/I; relieE sewers, interceptor severs� treatment plant Locations and
` sizings, and in-plant process seLections. The possibiLity of improving or
expanding the existing trickLing filter plant would be evaluated to meec
� both shor[- and long-term goals. ALternatives Eor phased construction,
according to prioritized goals vouLd be develaped.
The alternatives aould be evalua[ed considering cosc, environmental impact
� and ability to meet community objectives for the project. Alternatives
developed by the study team would be evaluated with [hose alternatives
identified to date. Appropriate recommendations would be made.
�
i
i
i
c. Study Elements - Financing
Having identified the Least cost engineering aLternative, we wauld then
evaluate alternative financing methods. Financing options, of course,
would include consideration of federaLly supported loans and/or grants; and
municipal revenue, general obiigntions and industrial development bonds.
Private Einancing would aLso be considered.
The concept oF privatiza[ion wo�ld be extensively evaluated to reElect the
variety of privatization concepts. The institutional impact oE
privatization on the City would necessarily be considered. Options for
sale-lease back, total private ownership and management/operation, and
private ownership/public operation would be incLuded.

The impact oF alternative financing methods on user costs would be
investigated and presented for consideration. We beLieve that
privatization offers significant potential to reduce user costs — those
savings must be logically expressed and presented for consideraeion by the
City.
d. Study Element — Public Interface
Progressive public participation in the alternative evalua[ion program
would be coordinated through City government unless otheraise desired. Our
approach is compatible with any 1eve1 of pubLic pparticipation desired by
the City. We must be able to explore and evaluate the needs as viewed by
che community to provide alternatives which sa[isfy the public's demand for
acticn.
e. Reports
Burns S McDonnell vould provide the appropriate reports, exhibits and
displays as required by the City. Our report would inciude detailed
descriptions of facilities, cost estima[es, site requirements, sewer
charges, and Einancing methods. We vouLd participate and/or direct public
or council presentations regarding interim status reports and final report
presentation.
8. MBE/GBE TEAM MEMBERS
For the alternative study, we expect no participation by minority or
women's business enterprises on a subcontract basis. Of course, Burns 5
McDonnell is an equal opportunity employer and has minority and vomen staff
members, some of which can and may contribute to the project.
As a project progresses into design and construction phases, opportunities
For M8E and WBE team members exis[. Burns � McDonnell supports and
encourages such participation and would expect such participation on your
project.
9. COMPLETED PRIVATIZATION PROJECTS — S YEARS
Burns 6 McDonnell and its direc[ or ancillary team members are not
presently participa[ing in any comple[ed privatization projects. We are
pursuing such prajects and have campeted £or several including the
Chandler, Arizona and Auburn, Alabama privatiza[ion efforts. We are
curnently in the "public participation" process in Lexington, Missouri for
privatization of eheir wastewater system.
Lexington is facing construction of secondary trea[ment facilities and
interceptor sewers to replace an old primary plant (design flow of 0.75
mgd). The previous engineering proposals recommended nearly $13 million in
new construction. Burns & McDonnell conducted a study oE lower cost
alternatives, including priva[ization, which reduced ini[ia1 construction
costs to $4.6 million. Cost reductions were nccomplished through a
reduction in design capacities and interceptor construction and by maximum
use of existing facilities.

User costs for the original proposaL would average $41.56 per month without
federal grants. The alternative proposal, if implemented by the City,
would cost $22.69 per month. Privatization (private ownership, financing,
and management) reduces the monthly user charge to $20.42 per month.
Burns 6 McDonnell is teamed with Government Managemene Corporation for the
Lexington project. Mayor Ed Lee at (816) 259-4633 may be contacted to
discuss the project and our involvement.
10. INNOVATIVE MUNICIPAL PROJECTS
Burns 6 McDonnell has reLied upon innovative solutions to complex problems
to give projects the best chance to move forcaard and meet client needs.
Innovation in engineering, funding, and construction techniques have been
placed into practice to save clients money and bring projec[s to compLetion
on schedule. Follaving is a discussion of pertinene municipal wastevater
projects and the innovations empLoyed.
a. SedaLia, Missouri; 2.5 mgd Trickling Filter STP.
Contact Rabert Cunningham, Director oE PubLic Works (816) 827-3000
Trickling filters, of course, are not innovative. In [he mid 1960s, the
development of plastic media to be used in trickLing filters certainly was
an innovation at the time. Burns S McDonnell was among the first
engineering firms to specify the use of pLastic media trickling fil[ers in
municipal vastevater treaement.
Sedalia's 2.5 mgd treatment plant continues to operate using the piastic
media trickling Eilter system.
b. LittLe 81ue ValLey Sewer District, Jackson County Missouri
Contact lames Hess, Administrator, (816) 796-7660
This major cLient has presented Burns & McDonnell with many chaLlenges
similar to those facing Iowa City. The project required appLication of
unique and innovative concepts, funding and management techniques to soive
a very compLex and expensive problem. It is pertinent ta review Burns 6
McDonnell's service to the District, in light of Iowa City's special needs.
Burns 6 McDonnell was retained by the Little Blue VaLLey Sewer District
upon the District's formation in 1969. The District was formed by act oE
the Hissouri State Legislature to provide a regional wastewater conveyance
treatment system to eliminate sevage [reatment eEfluent discharges to the
Little 81ue River. Eleven major suburban communities and tvo federal
instaLlations discharged inadequately treated effluent to the Lit[Le Blue
River. At the passage oE National Environmental Policy Act, the river had
been designated by the State of Missouri as a no-discharge stream.
The newly Eormed District vas confronted wi[h having no tangible assets,
ownership of no wastewater conveyance or treatment facilities and the task
of providing a regionai sewage district serving a 238-square-mile basin
having a total popuLation of 250,000 persons. 8urns & McDonnell
established a hp ased intercepter and treatment facility construc[ion
program which was designed to connect the largest population areas to the
0
aurns & M�Donnall

�
{
District facilities as quickly as possible. The phased construction
program required innovative financing procedures to be eseablished such
that the bonds to be sold for Einancing the Loca1 cost of the project vould
be acceptable to the project's investors.
�a Burns b McDonnell's managemene (Pau1 Andrews) participated extensively in
� acquisition of the necessary financing. The plan was accepted by the
financing authority, the Environmental Protection Agency, the State of
Missouri and the constituent public such that in 1986 the area-wide
wastevater collection and treatment Eacilities wi11 consist of 30 miles of
�� main stem interceptors ranging from 126-inch to 72-inch diameter sec+ers and
some 33 miles of branch interceptors. Treatment facilities consist of one
py 500-MGD pump station, a 40-MGD innovative treatment facility, and tvo
�� 20-MCD interim treatment facilites.
ti
As the only consulting engineer providing services to the District, Burns S
� McDonnell has performed comprehensive financial and engineering planning
services to the District Eor the praject. These services have included
wastevater facility planning, financial studies, engineering design,

Highlighted services that Burns 6 McDonnell has provided to the District
inciude the design of several innovative treatmene and interceptor concepts
not previously accomplished in the was[ewater engineering industry. These
include ehe design oE subaqueous interceptor severs beneath proposed Corps
of Engineers' major fLood control reservoirs and the development of a
treatment process involving intrachannel clarification (patented) in the
oxidation ditch [reatment process. Bucns S McDannell also developed a
Eull-scale public participation program vhich resules in unusually
comprehensive public support for the financing and con[inued construction
of [he wastevater treatment works.
Par[icuLarly remarkable is the Eact that a major metropolitan regional
sewage agency has developed from a nonexistant entity in the early 1970s to
a complete, operating facility in 1984. Initial cost estimates for the
compieted regional district exceeded $250 million. Hovever, by
incorporating effective construction management, innovative conveyance and
treatmen[ processes and program management as developed by Burns &
McDonnell and implemented by the District, the total cost of the facilities
is expected ta be approximately $180 million.
Following are some examples oE problems vhich arose during the Little BLue
i� Va11ey Sever District development and a description of the actions taken by
_ Burns & McDonnell. These resultling solu[ions represent significant
milestones in the Distric['s development. In many cases, millions of
; dollars were saved and the successEul and timely completion of an
! individual project resulted.

(1) The Corps of Engineers planned to construct major flood control reservoirs
on the Little Blue River and one rtiajor tributary. The reservoirs would
isolate significan[ Land areas (square miLes in area) from direct gravity
service. The alternative of pumping around the reservoirs was
prohibitively expensive.
� Burns 6 McDonnell concluded that it c+as most cost-effeccive and
environmentally sound to maintain gravity service by constructing sewers
belov the reservoirs. Construction of the reservoirs Was to be initiated
� in 1978 and 1979. Burns 5 McDonnell vorked vith the Corps of Engineers for
►J over two years to get approval to design subaqueous interceptors. This vas
the first time [he Corps allowed construction oE gravity sewers beneath nev
� reservoirs. Numerous reports and presentations vere required. The final
approvaLs were made by the Corps of Engineers in Washington, D.C.

Construction of the subaqueous interceptors is completed under the BLue
Springs Reservoir and nearing completion under the Longviev Reservoir.
Construceion has not delayed the development of the reservoirs.
(2) The District and Burns fi McDonnell was concerned with [he poten[ial for
fixed or noncompetitive bid prices for precast-concrete pipe for
interceptor i�stallations. Over 50 miles of large-diameter interceptor vas
to be constructed over an eight-year period. ConsiderabLe savings could be
avaiLable if the most competitive interceptor prices could be ensured.
Burns S McDonnell developed alternatives ta precast-concrete pipe. On Che
firs[ several contracts, a cast-in-place conduit was designed and offered
in the Bid Document as an aLternative. It c+as chosen by the Contractor on
one contract. On anothec contract, vhere significant quantities of
low-load pipe installed in rock tunnels were required, asphalt-tined
corrugated steel pipe c+as offered as an aLternative. This alternative was
chosen where allowed.
On tWo very Large contracts (30,000 Lf each), pipe supply contracts were
bid separately From the installation contract. This allowed the Owner [o
receive the lowest pipe price and the lowest installation bid.
Finally, on a 30,000-1f, Large-diameter (up to 126-inch) interceptor
contract, Burns & McDonnell determined that construction of the interceptor
utilizing tunnel procedures vas EeasibLe. The entire contract was designed
and bid vith two alternative construction procedures and Einal products -
open-cut r+ith precast pipe and [unnel with cast-in-place lining. A
combination of Che open-cut and tunnel alternatives vas the low bid caith an
"all-tunnel" bid as second Low.
(3) The District was faced with a 20-MGD (design Elow) interim treatmen[ plant
having an average flow oE 25 MCD and a peak flow of over 60 MGD. EPA and
MDNR were unable to commit $SS million for construc[ion of a propased new
40 MGD treaement Eacility. Funding agencies indicated that it would only
be possible to fund $30 million over a several-year period.

Burns S McDonnell proposed alternatives to conventional wastewater
treatment including an innovative process known as the Burns & McDonnell
Treatment Process (BMTS) that reduced the 40-MCD treatment facilities
estimated cost to $22 million. In addition, Burns 6 McDonnell prepared che
plant design with overlay drafting and camputer-assisted design (CAD) to
allow construction management techniques to be used to meet the phased
funding requirements ($22 milLion over 4 years). The first contract bid
was a Large enough poreion of the project to allov for treatment and sludge
handling for 10-15 NGD so as to relieve the interim facility and a11oc+ it
to operate vithin its design capacity. The complece treatment vorks should
be in operation by 1986.
BMTS as an innovative waste treatment technoLogy is rapidly gaining a track
record of cost reduction. To date, six projects throughout the U.S. have
been bid using BMTS technology. Construction cose savings have been
impressive With the average cost for the BMTS basins, complete vith
equipment, being Less than $0.50 per galLon capacity in the Z- to 10-MGD
capacity range. �
Additianal BMTS information is attached at the end of this text.
(4) The District vas faced caith sizing interceptor sewers for a Large sparseLy
popuLated district that was expected ta rapidly develop in the next 20-40
years.
Burns 6 McDonnell developed a plan to provide capacity for ultimate
development vithout cequiring the District to construct additional, Larger
sewers in the future. At the same time, present taxpayers and District
customers did not have to pay for large sewers capable of handling uLtimate
Elavs by gravity. Burns S McDonnell sized severs to handle normal and peak
flovs for the next 20 years by gravity (no lift stations except at
treatment plant) and to handLe normal flow by gravity at uLtimate
development. A plan was devetoped for future construc[ion of two pump
stations on the main interceptor to surcharge the line to convey peak flows
to the trea[ment faciLity. This in[erceptor plan vas approved by the EPA
and MDNR.
(5) 2he neWLy formed District was faced with no capital, no revenues and the
need [o pass bond issues that would alLow for ehe commencement oE
construction of a$250 miLLian collection and treatment faciLity.
-' Burns S McDonnell developed a plan Ear construc[ion of an interim treatment
Eaciiity iinitial capacity 5 MGD) and interceptors in the most populated
and developed portions of the District so as to begin treating Etow where
— needs were greatest and to a11ow the Dis[rict to begin generating revenue
at Che earliest possible date. Burns & McDonneli assisted the District in
'i presentations on Wail Street to convince investors of the financial
soundness oE [he District's plans. Burns & McDonnell alsa developed [he
I J District's customer agreemente that were needed to assure investors of
revenue to operate and pay Local share costs.

(6) At the beginning of the 40-MGD WWTP design� EPA and MDNR requirements for
sludge stabiLity were unclear. Indications vere that aerobicly digested or
oxidation ditch sLudge did not meet standards that EPA vas deveLaping for
land-applied sludges.
Burns 6 McDonnell diligently pursued a ruling from MDNR and EPA on approval
to land apply oxidation ditch sludge. Burns b McDonnell and MDNR performed
several months of testing of sludge from the demonstration plant (oxidation
ditch with BMTS). The project staff inet vith the EPA-Municipal
Environmental Research Lab in Cincinnati, Ohio, on three occasions in one
year to determine the basis of the proposed regulations. The results of
ehe [esting and these meetings were that EPA aill require aerobicly
digested or oxidation ditch sludges to be stored 45-60 days prior to land
application. Burns & McDonnell reevaluated the District's treatment
process and determined that the Landfilling of devateced sLudge Was
significantly more cost-effective than land application, if storage is
required. It was also determined that if sludge was LandfilLed, the
aeration [ime and sludge age could be reduced signiEicantly since
stabilization would not be necessary. Significant cost savings and
canstruction time savings were thus achieved.

In the earLy 1970s, Burns 6 McDonnell designed a complete mix activated
sludge plant Eor the City of Independence. Included in the process train
Was an innovative sludge incineration process, the Zimpro Heat Treatment
System. This system serves the City with remarkable efEiciency with the
abLe direction of the operating stafE.
The department and City management have taken a progressive approach to
management of the wastecrater utility. They are actively marketing the
capability of the fluidized bed incinerator as a hazardous c+aste
incinerator. Based upon the flexibility of the design of the pLant and
incinerator facilities, the City is able to exercise this innova[ive
application aE a municipat wasteaater treatment works.

Burns & McDonnell recently completed final design
of the wastewater collection and treatment facilities
for the King Khalid MilNary Airfield. The system
consfsts of approximately 15,000 meters of sewers,
five Iift stations, treatment lagoons and evaporation
ponds. Outlyfng areas were served by (ndividual
septic tanks and soil adsorption fields.
Litlle Blue Valley Sewer District,
Jackson and Cass Counties, MO
The Little Blue Valley Sewer District was chartered
in 1968 as a vehicle for locally achieving the national
goals for water quality set forth in the Federal Water
Pollutlon Control Act as amended. Waste effluents
removal from lhe Lillle Blue Riverwfll be handled
on a watershed basis, with eventual conveyance of
all munlcipal and Induslrial wastewater trom the
designated service area to a single point for
treatment and direct discharge to lhe Missouri
River. Burns & McDonnell devetoped and evaluated
a 1.1 mgd demonstration plant (BMTS) as a step
toward final design of the permanent treatment
tacilities.
Based onthesuccessfulresults ofthe
demonstraUon plant, the proJect was declared
InnovaUve by U.S. EPA and is therefore receiving
maximum grant funding. Final design of the 40 mgd
permanent treatment facllity is complete, and
consists of a screen house, BMTS, sludge
thickening and storage, sludge dewatering, and a
peak tlow holding basin. The first contract (or lhe
lreatment facllity is presently under constructlon,
r-,
and the construction of the 160 mgd pump station is
nearing completion.
The Dlstrict's service area consists of the Little
Blue R(ver, Lazy Branch and Mill Creek watersheds
wh(ch contain 238 square miles fn Jackson and
Cass Counties. Dfstrict facilities wfll serve all or
parts of eleven municipalities and two federal
government InstallaHons, with a 1990 forecast
population of 258,000. Following extensive planning
and financing studies by Burns & McDonnell, a
lhree•phase construction program was initfated in
May of 1972. Major features o( the project include:
—An Interceptorapproxfmateiy 30 miles in length
ranging from 72 inches to 126lnches in diameter
on the main stem and Including subaqueous
sections beneath two proposed (lood control

major Industrial discharges and service charge
evaluations. For example, wastes trom a large food
processorproduced unfquetreatmentproblems
owing to their high strength and volume. Along wfth
Industrial discharges, elimination of excessive
stormwater inflow sources to the system
represented key considerations in design of
facilitfes to expand treatment plant capaclty and
Improvements to the wastewater collection system.
As a resWt of these studies, new IMerceptors and a

system. In each planning area, cost-effective
analyses were conducted to compare the reductlon
of 1nflltrallonllnflow wlth provlding addlUonal
capaclty for transporting and treaNng I/I. In one of
the planning areas a detalled sanitary sewer
evaluatlon survey Is being conducted. In a fourth, &
square-mlle area, Burns & McDonnell also
completed lhe deslgn of 50,000 feet of sanitary
sewers wlth an estlmated constructlon cost of
S4,8D0,000.
Moberly, MO
Several studles on porllons of the waslewater
collectlon and treatment system have been
prepared slnce 1965, and Burns 8 McDonnell has
developed master planning for wastewater facllltles
In unsewered sectlons of the Clty. Madlflcatlons on
two existing secondary treatment planls of 1.7 mgd
and 0.8 mgd capaclty were completed In 1975In
order to satlsfy federal and state effluenl
requlrements. Costs of these Improvements and
new fnterceptor sewers were approximately
$1,000,000. A 207 Facllftfes Plan was recently
prepared to evaluate alternative wastewater
collectlon and treatment systems to serve City
growth. Burns & McDonnell recently compteted
deslgn of 30,000 feet of sanitary sewers to serve
unsewered secifons of the Clty. The Improvements
were recently constructed a! a cost of $491,000.
BlueSprings, MO
Burns & McDonnell performed detafled studles of
the wastewatercollection needs fora portion of
Blue Springs located Immedlately upstream of a
ma)or recreatlonal lake presently under
construcHon. The facllity plan studled alternatives
(or ellminating sIx exlsting wastewater Ilft statlons
and one wastewater treatment facfllty. Deslgn of
13,OOD (eet of interceptors to ellminate the Ilft
statlons was recently completed.

In assoclatlon wilh Martell and Assocfates, studles
of the exlsting wastewater collectlon and treatment
facllltles were performed to determine needed
Improvements forcomplfancewflh current NPDES

...for your environmental
engineering needs.
Water Systems
Needs assessment and long-range master planning on both municipal and regional scales
are areas in which Burns & McDonnell has proven expertise. S[aff engineers and geologists
are practiced in evaluating and analyzing ground and surface warer sources prior to design
o(supply and treatmenc systems. Ranging from simple disinfettion of well wacer to
single- and mul[iple-stage purification works, these systems feature the latest in treatmen[
techniques and process innovations. We also emphasize ease of operation and maintenance,
energy wnservation, efficiency, and environmental aesthetics in our supply, treatmenq
distribution, and srorage facilities.
Municipal Wastewater Systems
Our wastewa[er specialis[s assist in both technical and administrative aspects of wastewater
facility planning, design, and construction. Constantly changing federal and stace legislation,
regulacions, and gran[ programs are closely monitored for effetts on our clients and their
projects. Our enginecrs are well versed in wasre treatment management concepts for warershed
as well as multi-county regional situations. Collection systems emphasize energy conservation
and low operating and maintenance costs. We apply the best pratticable technology to
the engineering of not only simple lagoon systems but also mechanical treatment works
required by more complex wastes in urban areas.
Industrial Wastewater Systems
Our major efForts are directed roward treatment or pretreatment of chemically wmplex
industrial wastes. Tnrgeted for strict regularory control, these wasres are ofren eicher destructive
to or unaffected by biological treatment systems when combined with the normal domestic
wastewater stream. Conservation and recycling of process water as wcll as recovery of
chemicals nnd heavy metals are principal considerations in providing cost-effective services.
Our aim is to provide environmental procection measures while causing minimal impact ro the
corporare balance sheet.
Solid Waste Management
� $ystems for handling, processing, nnd disposing of municipal refuse and other waste
substanccs are the provincc of our solid waste experts. We have worked wich severnl
disposnl options, including bulk disposal in sanitary and secured landfills as tvcll as
� incincrntion systems. ln addition ro rcfusc and hazardous wastc management, our cxpericncc
extcnds to waste residues from agriculmral, commercial, and industrinl processes; water
and wnstewamr [reatment plantr, and air pollution control syscems.
Resource Recovery Systems
Energy conservntion nnd recycling hnve become wntchwords in the face of escnlating prices
nnd operating costs. At i3urns & McDonnell, all feasible conservntion, recovery, and reuse
fcatures nrc dcsigned into projccts from thc initial concept phasc. Recovcry and reusc
of ma[erials and esttaction of cncrgy from solid waste streams are top prioritics. A
eonccrtcd effort is also madc to rccycle proccss watcr and reuse chemicals and hcavy
mctals recovercd during treatmcnt of wastcwatcr.

Little Blue Valley Sewer District
LOCATION: Jackson and Cass Counties, Missouri
DESCRIPT[ON: Facilities to serve a 238 square mile discrict organized on a
watershed basis
FEATURES: Unique financial/ba:drng plan
35-mile main stenr interceptor and 25 »tiles of branch interceptors
Low cost interim treahnent facilities
Two subaqueous under-lake rnterceptors
In 1966, the State of Missouri de-
clared the Little Blue River in Jackson
and Cass Counties a no discharge
stream. This meant municipal and
industrial wastes, even treated efElu-
enc, could no longer be discharged
inro the river channel or its tri-
butaries.
For the eleven municipalities, nvo
counties, and nvo federal installa-
tions that were using the river as an
effluent outlet, this ruling meant one
thing—expensive, new collection
and sewndary trea[ment facili[ies
that none of them could individually
afford.
To meet the new clean water reg-
ulations the local governments and
the federal installations combined
efforts and formed a sewer district.
Based on a watershed approach [o
water quality management, the Little
Blue Valley Sewer District was or-
ganized in 1968.
The District's goal was to collect
and transport all was[ewacer within
its 238 square mile wa[ershed area
ro a treatment plant near the Mis-
souri River. This required a 35-mile
long interceptor that would cie into
existing dischargc points, and an
inrerim plant ro treat wastes until
the 40 million gallon per day (mgd)
permancnt plant could bc com-
pleted. Fram the project's inception,
Uurns & McDonnell has been in-
volved in planning, design, and con-
s[ruction management.
A major obstacle facing the new
District was raising its local share of
matching funds. The project was
estimated to cost over 5270 million,
and the Distritt had no financial his-
tory upon which to rely. Working
closely with the Dis[rict, Burns &
McDonnell helped devise a number
of special funds in the financial plan
which were instrumental in obtain-
ing a favorable bond rating to attratt
investors, and in the sale of bond
issues totaling $55 million.
The approach to faciliry develop-
ment also interested potential inves-
tors. lnstead of starting constmc[ion
at the veatment plant and proceeding
upstream, an inrerim treatment
plant was built and interceptor sys-
tem work was begun in the middle
of the warershed. This was where
the first service contract signer, the
Ciry of Independence, was locaced.
By providing services based on popu-
lation density, the Distric[ was able
ro bring large wasrewater Elows on
line and to generate substantia] ser-
vice revenues at the earliest possible
dare.

Since the mid-1920's, Burns &
McDonnell has provided consul[ing
services to the Board of Public Utili-
ties for the Kansas Ciry, Kansas
water system. We have designed
nearly all the present treatmenc facil-
ities, major transmission mains, and
the distribution sysrem srorage facil-
ities, and have monitored operations,
performed studies, and designed
facility improvements.
The BPU's Quindaro Warer Pro-
cessing Plant is located at the Quin-
daro Bend of thc Missouri Rivcr—
thc same sire chosen for the original
treatment plant built in 1881. Over
the years the plant has been expanded
and modified many times and is
now a 60 million gallon per day
(mgd) facility that provides sedi-
tnentation, Filtration, and disin-
fection.
Beginning in the 1930's and con-
rinuing over the next 20 years, Burns
& McDonnell designed the filter
building, chemical Eeed building,
and high-duty pump station. Aher
an extensive study, a 20 mgd expan-
sion to the 40 mgd Quindaro Plant
was compleced in the 1970's. Our
design modified existing facilities
and added new ones. Some plant

Burns & McDonnell first became
involved in this project during the
redesign and expansion of an exist-
ing hazardous waste disposal site.
The design included three separate
disposal areas with nvo sludge
trenches and a ]arge embankment
for containmenc of chemically s[a-
bilized and solidified liquid waste.
An extensive subsurface and
hydrogeologic investigation was
performed [o determine the depth of
bedrock,typesofsoil,and ground-
warer conditions at the site. The
subsurface investigation, performed
in sevcral phases, included 30 soil
borings and numerous laboratory
analyses for moisture content, dry
density, Atterburg limits, grain size,
permeability, unconfined compres-
sivc strength, pH, and ntion ex-
change capacity. These d�ta, com-
bined with 36 borings and associated
laboratory tcs[s perfarmed during
othcr site invcstigations, wcre used
to define the subsurface conditions.
The hydrogeologic annlysis in-
cludcd thc possibility of frec wntcr
prescnce in the sail overburdcn on

DESCRIPTION: Feasibility studies for co-disposal of wastewater sludge and municipal refuse
-- FEATURES: Corncineration of 600 tons per day dry solids
__ Marketrng studies for recovered materials
Co-generation of steam and electriciry
By the year 2000, the Lictle Blue
Valley Sewer District's permanent
wasrewacer treatment plant will be
producing an estimated 39 tons-per-
day of dry sludge solids, and its 238
square mile service area will be gen-
erating nearly 560 tons-per-day of
municipal refuse. During the prelim-
inary design of this plant, Burns &
h9cDonnell prepared a feasibility
study to determine if the wastewater
sludge could be co-incinerazed with
the municipal refuse to generate
electricity and ]ower the overall
treatment plant operating cos[s.
Sroeral ibermal procetsing tytrcms merc rvaLmted
dunng �hrJeasiGilifystuditt.
This initial study evaluated several
thermal processing sysrems for relia-
bility, operaring requirements, mater-
ial flow, market potential for recov-
ered materials, and economics. The
most economica] system, which pro-
jected an overall reduction in sludge
handling ws[s during the life of the
faciliry, included dedicated refuse-
derived fuel (RDF) boilers that
would burn a mixture of dried
sludge and the processed RDF.
A&er the District indicared strong
support for this co-incineration con-
cep[, additional studies were condua-
ed on specific alrernative concept
sub-systems, including facility site,
refuse transport and processing sys-
tems, sludge drying systems, number
and size of units, steam turbine-
generator systems, and back-up
power systems. Technical, institu-
tianal, and economic factors were
considered in these analyses. The
availabiliry of municipal solid tvaste
to support the praposed facility was
investigated. Discussions with local
utilities defined the value of excess
electricity which could be sold, as
well as the cost of back-up power
supply by the u[ilities.
The concept design recommended
by these studies includes nvo 70,000
pound•per-hour dedicated boiler
units with a total capacity for incin-
erating 500 tons-per-day of RDF
and dried sludge. The facility would
generate a maximum of 14,000 kW,
much of which would be sold as ex-
cess electricity, except during peak
electrical demand periods at the
treatment plant.
By disposing of municipal wnste
nnd RDF in incincrntors, snnitary
landfill savings arc cstimated at 32
acres per ycaq and nt lcast onc mil-
lion tons of coal could be conserved
ovcr a 20-ycar period, assuming that
coal would be used for clectrical
gencration and wastewatcr treatmcnt
plant hcnting.

Our Project Approach
Our philosophy of service is to
work with rather than for our
clients. We like ro par[icipate in
defining [hc problem �s well as in
developing thc solution. \C�e belicvc
thorough investigacive enginecring
may produce bet[er alterna[ives
than a new sys[em or facility.
For example, a client locazed in
an industrial park had a problem
with his plant effluenc. He stood
accused of causing the park's com-
bined effluent to exceed s[ate dis-
charge sr.mdards. He faced a shut-
down of his entire food promssing
operation.
We conducced frequent effluent
samplings, then analyzed them to
determinc the kinds and volumes of
matcrials present. By rewmmcnding
some simplc adjustments to house-
kecping routines and initia[ing some
praduction deamup changes, the
plant effluent was brought ro an
unarguably acceptable standard.
Our client s fears of a shutdown or
movc wcre dispelled, and thc nccd
for separate treatment facilicics was
climinared.
Clicnt necds requiring a detailcd
study, plan, or Jesign undergo a
thorough analysis of work rcquirc-
mcnts. This analysis Icads ro dearly
defincd responsibilities for our
project mams.
Here's how we org�nize the
projeet mams:
—mcmbcrs are scicctcd bascd on
your nceds and their skills/
problcursolving cxpericncr,
—each rechnical or scicntific Jis-
cipline group is led by nn exprr-
ienced pro(cssional;
—r.�di eram member is assigned
for the duration of die projccr,
however, individuals movc in
and out of the project with the
flo�v of �vork to minimize client
The project manager is the clieni s
single point of contact. All informa-
rion, both technical and:idministra-
tive, is channeled to and through
this team leader. He coordinams
day-to-day acti�•ities in the office
and the ficld, and is on call to assist
the client with such divcrse aspects
of the projec[ as public hearings,
financial negoti;itions, and legal
procecdings. Hc is also responsible
for kceping the project budget and
schedule �eithin the clieni s time and
cost restraints.
Each project manager reports to a
principal of thc firm. This individual
is responsible For administration
and execution of our services ro the
clienPs satisfaction. He monirors

Electric utilities amass a great deal of inEormation before
see[cing financing for today's complex and costly power plant
projects. Serving as consulting engineer to help provide the
necessary information, Burns & McDonnell has assisted
utilities in raising nearly $6 billion since 1970 for electric
power generation projects. Page 4.
Aher offering investors a sound financial plan for its ambitious
wastewater collection and treatment program, the Little Blue
Valley Sewer District has employed innovative ideas to
maximize financial resources and save money. Page 8.
Assessing the financial implications of design concepts, the free
marketplace, and other variables in airport development, is the
job of the aviation consultant. Burns & McDonnell's aviation
consultants have put financing and planning maxims to work
on a number of major airport projects across the United States.

The Financial Foundation--
A Vision of Project Reality
Engincers arc educated to look
at the wodd fram a physical point of
view and they leam from experiencc
what works and what doesdt. To
trans(orm an idea inro a wcll-orga-
nized, working system, thc engineer
strives to keep his (ingers firmly on
thc pulsc of rcality, thc reality of
what will or wodt work physically,
politically, and economieally.
\With this knowledgc o(the func-
tional, physical relationships of one
thing to another, thc cnginecr can
asccrtain whed�er a proposcd mn-
struction projectistechnically
sound. Uut cnginccring is not a
�aorld for thc pure tcchnologist
alone. During thc planning stagc of
a proposed projcct, dic consulting
cngincer is callcd upon ro utilizc his
skills as nn "cnginccrvcconomist;'
asccrtaining how cconomic and
socioeconomie (orccs will af(cet thc
project and how financial msources
can bc ma�imizcd.

With bo[h his [echnical and
planning skills, the consulting engi-
neer can provide an information
base to which others refer in making
decisions about whether a proposed
projett should proceed, or more
specifically, whether a projett
should be financed. And to provide
effettive input into the planning
stage of a projett, the consulting
engineer must be an expett not only
in the financing of projects in his
patticular field, but in the multitude
of elements in design, construaion,
operation, and maintenance of pro-
jects in that field as well.
Serving as a reliable source af
information [o help both the projett
owner and the financial cammuniry
make financial decisions is the role
of the consulting engineer in the
world of financing. This issue of
Berrch Ma�k is dedicared to an
exploration of Bums & McDonnell's
diversity of experience in this
complex and interesting world.
For Bums & McDonnell, serving
in the role of wnsulting engineer to
help clients obtain financing for
their projetts has been and is an
imponant part of its tradition of
providing complete engineering
services, hom project inception
through completion, and even
beyond.
"Projett owners want to know
whether their plans for gowth reprr
sent a sound busi-
ness proposition ro
the financial com- r,,.
munity. They want
ro know that some-
body who is an ex-
pert in the field has i� '-
reviewcd those '
plans, and whether NnuronCamp6r
in that experPs best engincering
judgement the project is nceded,
there will be adequate revenues to
pay for it aker it's built, and the
plans represent the most economically
and [echnologically sound course of
action. It is the consulting engineer
to whom the projea owner looks
for that information:'
That's how Burns & McDonnell
President Newton Campbell sees the
engineer's role in the financing of
projetts. Campbell previously
served as head of the firm's Econ-
omic Studies Department during his
more than 30 years of experience in
power generation engineering.
Before financing for any prajett
can be gained, several central ques-
cions must be answered. ls the
projea needed? Should it be under-
taken now? Is the projett technically
sound? Will it pay for itself? Md,
what are the risks involved?
To ansver these central quesrions,
a great many other questions must
be answered:
• What is the estimated cost of the
projett?
• What are the alternatives?
• How will revenues be generated to
pay back Icnders?
• Will the planned design concept
encourage maximum revenue
generation?
• What is the estimated time frame
of construction and how will
economic and political forces
affect that schedulet
• How will funds be distributed
during construction?
• What are the geographic consid-
era[ions?
• What is the project owncr's
history of operating and maintain-
ing existing facilities2
• What arc thc operating costs of
the project7
• How should thc projcct bc
financedl
Questions like thesc arc answcred
in the pinnning stagc of a projcct. It
,�
is during this stage that the expenise
oF the engineer-economist is called
into play.
But these quescions aren'c
answered by che consulting engineer
alone. That takes a team of profes-
sionals. Normally, a project owner
forms a financial team by calling
upon the services of the consulting
engineer, a financial consultant,
legal counsel, and, if bonds are
involved, bond counsel.
Each member of the financial
team works with the projctt manage-
ment in developing relevant infor-
mation, based upon his patticular
area of expettise, which the financial
community will review.
Whether financing is sought
through the sale of municipal
revenuebonds,orthrougha
guaranteed or insured loan progam,
or a leveraged lease transattion, the
same basic types of information are
needed. The method of financing
detcrmines only how the financial
team compiles information and to
which financial institution the
information is funneled.
The typa of information reviewed
and/or generated by the consulting
rngineer—whecher a feasibiliry study,
a power supply s[udy, or contract
negotiation assistance--are deter-
mined by the type and scope of the
projett being planned. Thus, each
rype of project, whether a power
plant, an airport, a sewagc system,
or an industrial plant, requires the
input of a consulting engineer who
is an expert in that particular field.

McDonnell's finance•planning

working rcalities are explored in thc

Depending on the utility's pro-
jected load growth ([he expected
dcmand for electrici[y), the modern-
day power projett can assume
several forms, lrom a new powcr
faeiliry, to expansion or improve-
mrnts o( existing (acilities, to thc
purchase o( generating capaciry by
onc utiliry (rom another.
In ueking financing for any of
�hese rypes of projects, the unfity
and rts financc-planning team, wnh
.� consulting cngineer as a member,
k ,
��
�7
U
'
��
�
must provide a multitude of infor-
mation to the financial community.
The load Forecast study is normal-
ly the first critical srep. A load fore-
cast study, ohen prepared by the
consulting engineer, provides the
utility wi[h information from which
it can derermine whether increased
generating capacity is aaually
needed.
Once need is determined, an
analysis of various available project
alcematives ohen is performed by
the consulting engineer through a
power supply study. The study
takes into account innumerable
variables which could afFect the cost
and feasibiliry of each altemative.
These variables may include unic
availabilities, fuel costs, fixed costs,
earnings on surplus funds, costs of
sharing generating facilities, and
debtservice.
From the power supply study, the
utility can determine the type and
scope of the projett. Between the
time that decision is made until
]ong-term financing is sought, a
number of other tasks may be
perfarmed by the consulting engi-
neer. For new ar expanded generao-
ing facilities, these tasks may
include siting studies, environmen-
tal analysis, fuel supply analysis,
transmission studies, and water
supply studies. lf thc utiliry is plan-
ning to purchase generating capacity
from another utility, many of these
same types af eonsiderations may be
revicwed in existing facilities, and
the consulting engineer also may
assist in contract negotiations bc-
nveen the nvo utilities.
When financing is sought, all of
these previous studies and analyses
will have been brought together in
the form of a feasibiliry study, ln
this smdy, the consulting engincer
also estimaces the project cost and
construction schedulc, nvo critical
aspects of financing.
Since 1970, IIurns & McDonnell
has helped cicctric utilities raise over
$SJ billion for power projects. Of
that $5.7 billion, the firm hns
helped raisc approximately 53.2
�
billion rhrough municipal elettric
revenue bonds, with approximately
$2.5 billion raised through guaran-
ceed and insured loan programs.
In seeking financing through the
issuance oF electric revenue bonds, a
municipal utility summarizes the
previously gathered information
into an OEficial Statement. As an
appendix to the sta[ement, the con-
sulting engineer provides a report
which includes the consultant's
independent conclusions about vari-
ous aspetts of the proposed project.
The consulting engineer also may be
called upon to assis[ in presenta-
tions ro rating agencies, investment
bankers, and instimtional investors.
In seeking financing through the
guaranteed andinsuredloan pro-
gam, a Rural Electrificarion Admin-
istration-financed utility provides
the various studies and analyses
which are funneled through various
review channels within REA.
At Burns & McDonnell, the
Economic Studies Department of
the firm's Power Division is the
center of aaivity for finance-plan-
ning work. The
department's engi-
neer-economists,
headed by Dick
Foltz, utilize the
firm's imhouse
computercapabil- `
ities along with in- "� f
put from the firm's Dick Folrz
design professionals to providc the
information required by utilities and
the financial community.
A eloser look at projects where
Burns & MeDonnell has applied its
expertise in power plant finnncing
and planning follows.
Laramie River Smtion
A broad range of IIurns & Mc-
Donnell's services in power genera-
tion was provided for the three 570-
megawatt-unit Laramie River
Station near Whcatland, Wyoming,
These services included a Feasibil-
iry stt�dy, siring studics, nnd environ-
mental analysis, as wcll as design,
construction managemcnt, nnd
staro-up services. TBese combined
services led co comple[ion of the
three coal-fired units at 517 million
under budget.
A 47-month construction sched-
ule, Erom start of construc[ion to
commercial operation, was forecast
for Unit 1. Due to delays in stam
government siting permit hearings,
construttion began six months later
than originally planned. However,
construttion began in late July 1976
and commercial opera[ion was
achieved 47 months later, the num-
ber of months forecast in the feasi-
bility study.
Unit 2 began commercial operarion
in July 1981. Original plans for Unit
3 called for commercial operation
by July 1983. In 1978, however, the
six participating utilities decided to
move that date forward one full
year, to July 1982. Burns & Mc-
Donnell re-estimared the rotal projett
budget to reflett decreased escalarion
in the costs of construction,
lowering the projected rotal budget
for che [hree uniu from 5968 mil-
lion to 5937 million. Not only was
the new commercial aperation date
for Unit 3 met, but upon its comple-
tion, the actual rotal costs of the
thrcc units wns only 5920 million.
The feasibility scudy containing
Burns & McDonnell's projections
for scheduled operation and capital
cost was provided [o invesrors or
lenders an behalf oEcach of six par-
ticipating utilities. Each utility, nvo
rural electric cooperatives, three
joint powcr agencies, and one
municipally owned system,
obtained financing separately for
their respcctive shares of the projett.
Burns & McDonnell provided a
report that accompanicd the Official
Statcments submitted by Wyoming
Municipal Powcr Ageney, Heart-
land Consumcrs Power Distriet, and
Westcrn Minnesota Power Agency,
and the municipally owned systcm,
Lincoln (Nebraska) Electric System.

study and the environmental analysis,
necessary for the cooperatives' loan
applications. Burns & McDonnell
also assisted the nvo rural electric
cooperatives in obtaining pollution-
control financing through tax-
exempt issuers. Basin Electric sold

ric Cooperative Finance Corporation.
Omaha Public Powcr District
Omaha Public Power District,
one of the largest publicly owned
elettrie utility systems in the United
States, issued over $599 million in
elettric revenue bonds in 1977, the
largesc such issuer that year. Bums
& McDonnell provided the consult-
ing engineer's repons included with
OPPD's Official 5tatements submitted
to the financial communiry.
Burns & McDonnell has moni-
tored OPPD's systems and operarions
and helped the utility obtain financ-
ing for various system improvements
and expansions since the District's
formation in 1946. With this
lengthy association, Bums &
McDonnell can quickly access and
assess information each time OPPD
requcsts assistance from [he firm in
obtaining financing.
Since 1946, Burns & McDonnell
has assisted OPPD in publishing
biennual reports on the utility's
operations. 7'hese reports esscntially
are a review af OPPD's operations
and managemenr, its repairs,
renewals, and replacements; ics
rates and revenues; its capital im-
provements; and its power supply.
OPPD furnishcs these reports to its
Bond Trustces as required by bond
resolutions.
Operation and maintenance re-
potts prepared by Burns & McDon-

Nor[hern Municipal Power Agency
Burns & McDonnell atted as
consulting engineer in an agreement
whereby a scries of connaa negoria-

Minnkota Power Cooperative's 30-
percent ownership in the 415-mega-
watt Coyo[e Plant near Beulah,
North Dakota, along with associared
transmission.
Burns & McDonnell first assisted
lawyers in the negotiation of the
wntract between Northem and
Minnko[a. The firm then partici-
pa[ed in wricing contracts that
transferred service agreements for
10 cities in Minnesota and nvo in
Notth Dakota, from Minnkota to
Northern. Lastly, Burns & McDon-
nell wrote the consulting engineer's
report in Nartherds Official State-
ment and participated in presenta-
tions to major investors and rating
agencies for thc sale oE $2G8 million
in electric rcvenues bonds to finance
the plan.
"Theuniqueness ��,�„*%n�+r �

ply facilities," says Gayle Mayo,
project coordina�or. "Basing rates
soley on the cost of power from the
Coyoce plant would have resulted in
enormously high elearic ra[es:'
City of Provo, Utah
A longstanding professional rela-
tionship between Burns & McDon-
nell and the City of Provo, Utah
began in [he la[e 1930s when Burns
& McDonnell's co-founder, R.E.
McDonnell, helped the Ciry establish
its municipally-owned elettric gen-
era[ing sysrem.'I'he firm [hen
designed Provo's First electric gen-
erating plant.
Since that time, work by Bums &
McDonnell for the City in poweo-
related design, planning, and financ-
ing has been almosc continuous, ln
rhe lare 1970s the City was sceking an
economical way to inaease its power
supply capabiliry. The City called
upon Burns & McDonnell to evalu-
ate whether the City should enter in[o
patticipation wntratts whereby
Provo would purchase a 6.25 per-
cent interest in Unit 1 of Utah Power
& Light's Hunrer Plant.
Surns & McDonnell perFormed a
power supply study to evaluate alter-
natives. From the study, Provo
chose to proceed with its plans for
the purchase of the 615 percent
interest in the Hunter Plant. Burns
& McDonnell participated in nego-
tia[ing the wnaatts for the purchase.
The purchase required n $22-
million electric revenue bond issue
by Provo, for which Burns &
McDonnell provided the consulting
engineer's report.
Since 1970, Burns & McDonnell
has provided numeraus other scr-
vices for the City, including an
electric ratc study, a geothermal
power supply cvaluation, several
load forecasts, a power supply
s[udy, a transmission system study,
design of a substation, and consulo-

of accounts to pro-

included a capita-
lized interest fund,
an emergenry repair fund, a princi-
pal and interest fund, and a bond

These accounts were impottant in
putting the DistricPs feet on Wall
Street's daorstep. Bu[ [he catalyst
chat made the financial plan work
was dollars--demonstrating that [he
Distria could generate sufficient
revenues by collecting user fees from

they tied inro the

"The possibility
•of selling bonds to
investors for a
sysrem ro which no
onc had agrced ro "" 'r �'
contribureanything )erryhfono�
was remote," says Jcrry Morrotv,
Burns & McDonnell Project Mana-
ger at the time.
The key was a service contract
signed benveen the Distritt and the
City of Independence, makins Indc-
pendence the initial cusromer of the
District.
The signed agreement included a
sakguard for buyers of the $9 mil-
lion bond issue (the first of three
issues): if the federal government
backed out of the piogram, or if the
other towns along the Little Blue
didn't sign service contracts, then
the City of Independence would
pick up a$4.5 million tab, used ta
finance the initial phase of thc
project while the other $4.5 million
would be used to retire the bonds.
Financing Good Intentions raurana.�w,
In the mid-1960s a multiplicity of
municipal sewage plancs along the
Little Blue River discharged treated
wasrewarers into the river daily.
Pollution problems arising from this
scattered approach to wastewa[er
treatment resulted in the federal
govemment and the stare of Mis-
souri designating the river a"no-dis-
charge stream" in 1966. That meant
municipaliries had to reduce and
eventually eliminate discharges to
the waterway.
Harvey Jones, Jackson County
Engineer at the time, had antidpated
this attion and was ready with a
plan which called for an intcrccptor
winding through the Little Blue
Valley colletting wastewatcr. The
wastewater would be treated at a
single veatment plant and discharged
into the Missouri River. Jones'
wastershed approach ro wastewarer
treatment was to become the Little
Blue Valley Sewer Distritt, serving a
238-square-mile area, including
eleven municipalities, two federal
installations, and significant parts of
Jackson and Cass Counties,
Missouri.
At the outset, the plan amounted
[o good intentions backed by sound
engineering and financial ideas. But
the Distritt needed more than that to
attratt bond investors; it nceded
soundassurancesthatinvestors
would be proteaed.
An inttgral part of the Distritt's
financing team was the work of Paul
Andrews, Vice Prcsident of Uurns &
�.
Because the completion of the
sewer project meant stimulation of
local economies, and because each
ciry was required to show it was
working to eliminate discharges,
Distritt officials were confident that
the user-fee plan would succeed.
When the financing team presen-
ted its package to ra[ing agencies,
Andrews was asked to participate in
the presentation, then a rare request
of a consulting engineer. The plan
was judged sound, and the first
bond issue was sold Ottober 1,1971.
When the District larer returned
to Wall Street seeking second and
third bond issues rotalling 345 mil-
lion, it had several additional service
contracts ro support its case. The
issues were sold.
Constructing Cost Savings
Throughout the projett, efforts of
the Distritt and Burns & McDon-
nell have been aimed ac saving
money. A bond refund issue was
obtained in 1977 to takc advantage
of lower interest rates, and a number
of cost-saving approaches to design
and construttion have been taken.
Several delaysin federalfunding
and in approval of placing an inter-
ceptor beneath a Corps of En�neers'
reservoir (the first such plan ever
approved by the Corps) extended
completion of construction Erom
1979 to 1986. Despite chis seven-
year extension, savings of $90 mil-
lion Erom the original cost estimate
are expeaed. These savings are due
primarily to a number of avenues
taken by Burns & McDonnell and
the Distritt, including:
• Intrachannel Clarification --
In a climatc of inflation and tax-
payer resistance to spending in [he
water and wascewater fields, the
federal Environmental Protection
Agenc}� bcgan providing financial
incentives to utilities to devclop
ncw, innovativc, and cost-cutting
processes.
Afrer smdying several alrernatives
to an original conventional trean
ment plant, Burns & McDonncll
developed an innovative design in
which secondary biological treat-
ment ocwrs in a single basin. An
intrachannel clarifier in the aeration
basin eliminates much of the tradi-
tional wastewatcr [reatmcnt cquip-
ment. The entire system requires
only three picces of equipment with
moving parts--a blower, a mixeq
and a sludge wasting pump.
The Burns & MeDonnell 7'reat-
ment Systcm (BMTS) was success-
fully tested (or 20 months in a pilot
plant treating wastewater dieerted
from thc influent to the District's
inrerim trcatment plant. EPA liked
the idea and designated the system
under i[s'7nnovative and Alrerna-
tive" program, entiding the District
ro a]0 percent increase in federal
funds. This, in addition m the nnti-
cipatcd mst savings realiud by thc
system's simpliciry (wi[h total wst
an estimated 530 million ns opposed
[0 555 million for the original
dcsign), rcpresented substantial
savings to the District and its eon-
s[iments.
• Interim Treatment Plant --

million•gallon-per-day permanent
crcatmem plant, scheduled for 198G,

ciry for the very low construc[ion
cost of SS million, the aeration and
se[tling basins were combined and
built as earthen basins. Also, ro
expedi[e maintenance and eliminate
redundancy,allundenva[er
equipment was designed for main-
tenance without draining basins. As
a result, operating and mainrenance
costs for the plant have been lower
than those of a comparable conven-
tional plant.
• Planning for Ultimate Flow --
The Little Blue project encom-
passes about 30 miles of mainscem
inrerceptor and 33 miles oEbranch
interceptor (including several
sections installed by [unneling, and
subaqueous sec[ions beneath nvo
proposed flood control reservoirs
and dams).
At the beginning of [he projecc,
the idea was ro build this inrercep-
tor system [o handle ultimare flow
of the valley's contributors. Several
alternatives were considered: use oE
a large-diameter pipe in anticipa-
tion of ultimare flow; use of a
smallerdiamecer pipe and in the
future build a parallel pipe; or use of
a pipe size that could handle flow
expetted in [he near future and [hat
could be pressurized by adding
several pump stations to handle ulti-
mate flow. The latrer alternative
was chosen as most cosaeffective.

wrrugamd metal pipe for thc mn-
ncled sections of the intcrcepror wns

This alccrnative bidding arrangc-
ment wns guided by spccifications
writtcn by Burns & McDonnell.
Christophcr said of the arrange-
ment, "It is unusual to bid a con-
trazt ro supply pipc ro one contrec-
ror immediately and two additional
contracrors at somc futurc datc. In
this instanm, wc wcre ablc to dctcr-

packagc, but thc ef(cct is thc most
inexpensive combination of con-
struction labor and marerials:'
The arrangemenc saved the Dis-
trict money by eliminating the gen-
eral contracror's price for handling
the pipe purchase. It also meant a
lower rotal price for the pipe because
it enabled the pipe manufatturer to
use the same casting equipment for a
much greater total lengch of pipe
than if the pipe were ordered under
each installation contract
The Litde Blue Valley Scwer Dis-

McDonnell aviation
consultant. "Termi-
nal concepts should
be developed wherc
concessions are in
Jusrus He(lnmd, jL�� ��ew of the en-
planing and deplaning passenger ro
stimulate impulse buying."
To determine the financial ingre-
dients of airport development, the
expettise of the aviation consultant
is called upon in the early planning
stages. The consultant provides an
independent analysis of the many
fattors that affett revenue generation
capabilities for paymenc of the
airport's indebtedness on bonds
issued to finance the airport and
annual opera[ing costs.
Aspetts of the consultant's analy-
sis include assessments of relevant
hisrorical data; the market area;
existing airline services; the airport
management's accounting proce-
dures, lease policies, and opera-
[ions; planning and engineering
services; and the anticipated deb[
service. He also provides projec-
tions of construttion costs and
schedules, the anticipated level of
air traffic and passenger volume,
and whethcr the passengers will be
transient (using the airport as a
stopover point benveen destina-
tions) or "origin-destination"
(leaving from and returning to the
same airport).
7'he consultant also may be in-
volved in negotiating user-fec
agreements benveen the airport and
the airlines as well ns betwcen thc
airport and the concessionaires,
Rental feu �re paid ro the airpor[ by
both the airlines and the conces-
sionaires co gencrate revenues to
cover bonds and maintenance/
operation costs. Any decreasc in
revenues from concessions may
result in an increase in the rental
rares ro the airlines. Thus, the
aviation consultant evaluates the
design concepts of the airport
[erminal from che s[andpoint of how
it may affect the balance of those
rates.
Airfield improvements and land
acq�isitions are also fnanced
through bonds which are repaid
through landing fees charged to the
airlines for use of the air�eld facil-
ities. The fees are based on the
landed weight of the various types
of aircrah. The aviation consultant
provides revenue forecasts of the
fees on a per 1,000 pounds of
landed weight basis.
Today, with the forces of a free
marketplace determining the success
or failure of airlines and airpott
facilities, [he aviation consultant has
had ro hone his experrse in airport
financing, planning, design, and
wnstruaion cost/schedule esrimates
The aviation consultant is called
upon to assess the po[ential financial
effects of the deregulated climate on
the project.
"The entire spectrum of airport
financing changed with deregulation.
It has become an even more
complex and interesting subjett,"
Hellmuth said.

Currcntly, Hellmuth is preparing

rional Airport-Technical Committee,
for approximately 515 million in
bonds for the purchase and installa-

International West Terminal pro-
ject. He also recendy was chosen as
project director for the mascer plan
smdy at Brussels National Airport
in Brussels, Belgium.
Hellmuth is thc newes[ member of
a team at 6urns & McDonncll that
has gained diverse experience with
the many elements of both aviation
wnsulting and airport design and
constmaion. Burns & McDonnell's
aviation consultants have assisted
airpor[ operarors in raising some
8435 million in revenue bonds over
the pas[ several years.
This experience has been gained
on such projects as:
• Rcno Cannon International Air-
port, a terminal expansion projett
for �vhich f3urns & McDonnell
participated in the financial feasi-
bility smdy, revicwed and
updated the airport masrer plan,
developed budgets and eonstruc-
tion schedules, and designed the

participated in planning, design,
and construction supervision
almost continuously since 1954.
• Pordand Inremational Airport,
where Burns & McDonnell pre-
parcd a master plan for long•range
development and designed the
first phase of the plan.
• Grcat Falls Inrernational Airport,
an airport expansion project on
which Iiurns & McDonnell servcd
as consultant in establishing and
moniroring a program budget for
revenue bond financing, and also
served in a projett management
role.
At the Reno Cannon Inremational
Airport, Burns & McDonnell's
planning and design team got firso-
hand experience with the effects tha[
both deregulation and a booming
economy can have on planning and
design of an airport expansion
project.
Deregulation brought airlines
Flocking ro healthy marke[s. Reno
was one such area. The financial
tcam at Reno Cannon Inrernational,
with Burns & McDonnell as consul-
tanq knew during the eady planning
stages that deregulation was a pos-
sibiliry. The team proposed expan-
sion alternatives aimed at absorbing
potential effects of deregulation.
Deregulation and Reno's spiraling
economy mrned what starced out as
a proposed 40,000•square-foot
expansion projec[ in mid-1977 into

major cons[ruttion and capital
development programs.
By projetting cash demand
monthly, an owner can inves[ idle
funds from a bond issue, or o[her
revenue sources, in a programmed
manner. Three computer programs
offered by Bums & McDonnell's
Construttion Services Division pro-
vide an owner with that opportuniry
by tracking all constmction projec[
transattions, providing a contract
status reporc, and making a cash
demand forecast.
Thc threc programs wcre devel-
oped for the planning and construc-
tion of Kansas Ciry Intcrnational
Airport and also have been used
sucussfully at Portland Intemational
Airport and Reno Cannon Interna-
tional Airport.
The fundamencal program, the
Cash Demand Forecast, distributes
the wsts associaced with cach con-
tratt in a project over the contract's
lifetime. 6y determining whcn funds
will be needed, the possibility exists
to extend the time funds can be
invested before needed to fill con-
traaural obligations. As the funds
collea additional interest, income is
increased and the owner's net
projea wsts are reduced as a result.
The other two computer pro-
grams-- Con[ract Stams Report and
Transattions Malysis-- basically
are accounting programs that incer-
face real costs with those projected
in the Cash Dcmand Forecast.
The three programs combined,
pravide a check and balance system
which allows an owner [o deter-
mine where his projett stands fnan-
cially.
The Contratt Stams Repoa pro-
vides a history for each contratt.
The program tracks thc amounts
requesced by a contracroq the net
amounts paid by the owner, reren-
[ions, damages, and any adjuso-
ments resulting From change ordcrs.
An ongoing, cumulative total of
each of these categaries also is main-
taincd. The categories become the
input of thc "to datc" listing of
attual expenditures encered into thc
Cash Dcmand Forccast.
"Thc Cash Demand Foreeast
breaks out each project into its com-
ponents of design, inspcction, con-
tract administration, construction,
and contingcncy," says Jim Bcdnar,
Conscruction Serviccs Division
economist. "The program distrib-
utes thc various cost functions over
the time frame of the projett. Aher a
projea begins and the'ta-date'
expenditures are entered, the pro-
gram then spreads the remaining
costs, projeaing them on a monthly
basis to the end of the time frame
originally allocated:'
As construction progresses, the
program compares previous months
projettions with current projcaions
to derermine if work progress is
ahead of or behind schedule.
The program also has provisions
for general administra[ive items and
consultants. These might include
such things as large equipment
items, land, or special consultants
needed during the caurse of a large
wnstruttion projea. The prognm
summarizes all expenditures, by
type, at the end of the month.
The last report from the Cash
Demand Forecast provides n finan-
cial status report on the proiett.
This rcport shows the initial money
available (rom the bond issuc (or
other source) and projects the
amount of interest on thc uncxpen-
dcd balance thnt may be carned over
the course of the project at a given
interest rare. Total inwmc from
inrerest, bonds, gnncs or ocher
income sources are delineated on a
rotal income settion of [he report.
Total expenditures also are shown
by month, as are cumulative expen-
ditures with unexpended balances
listed.
"We'li know what
amountoEinrerest T�
income an owner
will have available
for the project if
the original funds f
are invested and
spent as nemssary f�m Bednar
for the payments of contracts," says
Bednar.
7'hese data allow the owner to
determine the financial status of any
project and the total program at any
patticular point during its life.
As a planning rool, the Cash
Demand Forecast also can help size
a bond issue. Funds from a proposed
issue can be enrered in[o che pro� am,
checked to see if interest income
meets expectations, then judged. If
thc inrerest income is law, the issue
may be undersized, if high, over-
sized. Adjustments then can be
made m alter the issue properly.
'I'he program also allows the analy-
sis oEvarious "what if" situations.
When shiking aaivities, the impaa
on the financial stams of the projett
can be quickly assessed.
The uniqueness of this program
compared with other accounting
sysrems is its dirett relation ro
upcoming construction sequences.
The program projects constmttion
costs two tvays: if the construttion
is of a major strucmre, costs may be
projected on a bell curve; if the
construction is Flanvork (highways,
Tl�ree conoputer programs offera project ow�rer d�e oppomaiity to nroes�
ard track reverraes in n progranrured manner.
runways, etc.) chen a scraighcdine
projection might be used. These
projettions are based upon
estimares of how the mntractor will
actually use labor and materials and
other resources over the course of
constmction.
"Overall, this program wodt
change the rating of a bond issue,
buc ics use may give the investor a
litde more confidence that idle
money is being managed well,'
Bednarsays.
The Transattion Analysis lists all
transactions-• both income and ex-
pense items-- so [ha[ a balance sheet
on the total project can be pro-
duced.
Aher all transactions are entered
into the computer, a funds commit-
ment analysis organizes all transac-
tions on a monthly basis. By exam-
ining this listing, an owner knows
the financial scatus of a projea with
regard ro commitments by project
and revcnuesouree.
This program concludes with a
balance sheet which indicates either
a surplus balance or a deficit for the
construction program.
"This report (Transaction Maly-
sis) will show whether che capical
program will become overcommit-
ted, as planned;' explains Bednar.
"If so, it may be necessary to re-
schedule a projett un[il income
accumulates whcrc further commi[-
mcnts can be made. Othcr alter-
nntives would include the provision
for obtaining additional Eunds:'
Thcse thrce programs provide a
base (rom which ro plan for fumre
incomes nnd expenditures, a device
to maniror actual incomes and
expenditures, and a wny ro recon-
cile and evaluate thc ef(eas of
income and expenses as the project

An Opportunity to Test BMTS
Treatn�eirt System (BM TS) wrd� this portable dernonslration p(ant.
Industries and municipalities
wanting to test and evaluate the
ability of Durns & McDonnell's
wsasaving, innovative wastewater
treatment system m treat thcir par-
ticular wastewaters can now do so
with a portablc, trailer-mounted
demonstration plant bcingoffercd
by the firm.
The 8,000-15,000-gallon-per-day
portable dcmonstration plant, dc-
signed by Burns & McDonncll, can
bc hookcd up ro rcceivc and treat
wastcwatcr from exis[ing industrial
or municipal wastewarer treatment
facilities. The demonstration plant
incorporaresthefirm'sintrachannel
clarification device.
7'he ability of the intrachannel
clarification system, dubbed
"IIMTS," to successfully treat
municipal wasrewater was docu-
mcnted [or two years in a pilot plant
which intereep[ed wastcwarer
encering a 20•mgd treatment plant
in Jackson County, Missouri.
A total of 18 municipalitics arc
currencly having a IIMTS plant dc-
signcd by or licensed from Burns &
McDonncll.
The system's ability to treat
various types of induscrial waste-
warers has not ye[ been tested.
However, because the syscem uses
the attivared sludge treatment pro-
cess commonly used in industrial
wastewater treatment, many of the
advantages the sys[em offers to
municipalities over conventional
treatment syscems atso may be real-
ized by industries, says Jerry
Monow, direttor of business devel-
opment for Bums & McDonnell's
Environmental-Civii Division.
Bums & McDonnell currently is
designing a BMTS for a mea[-
packing facility.
Other industries that commonly
use attivated sludge wastewater
treatment include the automobile
industry, beet sugar processors, the
beverage industry, breweries,
canneries, dairies and cheese pro-
cessors, grain millers, food and feed
processors, iron and steel coke
producers, leather tanneries, the
organic chemical industry, petro-
leum refineries, pharmaceutical
manufatturers, plastic materials and
synthetic producers, poultry plants,
pulp and paper mills, rubber proces-
sors, and textile mills.
The major advantagc of BMTS
ovcr conventional treatment systems
is a potcntial 60 percent capital cost
savings and a 25 percent operation
and mnintcnance cost snvings. Also,
[he system produces a dischargeable
cfFlucnt which meets all secondary
pollution control standards.o�

t�ssociated's
Largest Unit Now on Line
Upon a signal from Missouri
Governor Christopher Bond, the
control room operator opened the
plant's pressure relief valve and the
670-megawatt Thomas Hill Unit 3
near Moberly, Missouri was offi-
cially dedicated.
Commencement of commercial
operation of the unit June 1, 1982,
and its dcdication June 23 colleaively
represent another milestone in
Burns & McDonnell's involvement
with the Thomas Hill Energy
Cenre:, an involvement that spans
almast 20 years. Burns & McDon-
ncll began design of Unit 3 in June
1976 and also designed the 175-
MW Unit 1(design starc 1963, in
service November 1966) and the
275-MW Unit 2(design start 1965,
in service February 1969).
Unit 3 is the Fikh unit designed by
Burns & McDonnell for Associated
Elettric Cooperative, giving Asso-
ciated a total generating capacity of
2,320 MW. The Five units, all in
Missouri, provide power for essen-
tially alf of rural Missouri and parts
of adjoining states.
Addressing an audience of over
600 during the Unit 3 dedication
were Governor Bond and Chuck
G�II, governor of the National
Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance
Corporation. Governor Bond
praised Associated for its commit-
ment to using Missouri resources,
and specifically Missouri coal, in the
7'homas Hill operation.
With the use of Missouri coal,
which has a high ash and sulfur
wntent, as well as consideration of
environmental, economic, and
siting factors, Burns & McDonnell
was called upon to include special
engineering features into Unit 3 for
the treatment and removal of the
plant's wastes. These special engi-
neering features included the first
�PP���tion in the United States of a
drag-chain removal system for
bottom ash on a utility boiler of this
size; a dense-phase Flyash removal
system; a forced-oxidation process
outside the flue-gas desulfurization
(FGD) Ioop; and a nvo-stage cenvi6
ugal, sludge-dewatering repulp
process for the mabmesium-promoted
FGD system a�

ber 13,1982.
The dedica[ion af Hugo Unic 1
represents another step in more than
six years of involvement in the proj-
ea by Burns & McDonnell. S[udies
and design attivities were begun in
April 1976, with commcrcial opera-
tion officially declared April 1,
19tl2. Ic is the second power planc
designed by Burns & McDonnell for
Wesrem Farmers Electric Coopera-
tive, the first being the 60-MW gas-
and oil-fired Mooreland Unit 1 in
1964.
Among the dignitaries at the
Hugo dedicaiion were Oklahoma
Governor George Nigh and Harold
Hun[eq Adminiscrator of the Rural
Elettri6cation Administration.
Governor Nig said the dedication
was a celebration which represented
progress in Oklahoma.
Unit 1 is the first phase of coal-
fired generacion for Wesrern Farm-

Solar One Project
Driving east on Highway 40 from
Barstow, Califomia you may sud-
denly find yourself squinting ac a
light almost too bright to look at.
The bright light is being refletted
from the 300-foot tower of Solar
One, the world's largest solar power
plan[.
Locatedin Daggett,about20
miles east of Barstow, the plant
generates about 10 megawatcs of
elettric power. The central tower is
surrounded by 1,818 movable mir-
ror assemblies called heliostacs,
which reflect the sun onto the
tower. A boiler ac the top of the
tower generares sceam, used in a
convencionalturbine-genera[or[o
produce elettricity.
The solar plant is operated by
Southem California Edisbn
Company. Designed as a pilot proj-
ect, the plant will aid in assessing
the commercial feasibility of solar
power plants. The projett is spon-
sored by the U.S. Depattment of
Energy, Southern California Edison
Company, the Los Mgeles Depatt-
ment of Water and Power, and the
California Energy Commission.
Burns & McDonnell, retained by
[he Electric Power Research Insti-
mte, Palo Alto, California, will
review the Solar One projea and
report on results.'fhe review will
focus on operating characteristics
and design criceria of the plant.

bmts update
East Dubuque, illinois To Have BMTS
The City of East Dubuque, Illi-
nois will use the BMTS concept for
its new 470,000-gpd secondary wazte-
water treatment planl. 7'he plant is
being designed by Shive-Hattery
Engineers in lowa City, Iowa. Con-
struction is expected to begin in
early 1985 with start-up scheduled
(or early i 986.
"After our visit fo Kauas City
and to�ir of the Li(tle B6�e Valley
Sewer Dist�ict facility, �oe a!! agreed
that d�e BMTS was the process we
warted to enrploy,"said P. "Doc"
Hallada, Shive-Hattery's project
manager. "We a�e very mixioes to
ptet tbe planr into ope�atiav aud

The plant, to be constructed
under an Innovative grant, incor-
porates many innovative features.
In addition to the BMTS intwchan-

Mobile Pilot Plant Testing At Coke Plant
Burns & McDonnell's Mobile Pi-
lot Plant has been in operation a[
Armco's Coke Plant in Ashland,
Kentucky since December 6, 1983.
The mobile plant is part of an ex-
[ensive pilot system using DMTS
technology to treat the combined
process wastewater discharge from
the coke plant.
InFluent concentrations have re-
cently been in the following ranges:
2,660 to 5,450 mg/1 COD; 100 ta
675 mg/1 phenol; 460 to 580 mg/I
thiocyanate (SCN); and 40 to 45
mg/I oil and grease. Removal effi-
ciencies during the same period have
been in the following ranges: 85 to
95%a COD; 100% phenol; 96 to
97% SCN; and 90 to 91% oil and
grease.
Under the second tes[ phase,
which began in mid-March, nitriC-
cation will be established and the
maximum rate of nitrification will
be de[ermined. The test program,
being performed under an EPA
grant, is scheduled to run through
May 1984.

Biographical information on each proposed team member is more
fully presented in the Project Team section.
3. Association With Other Consultants - Stanley Consultants is
a multidisciplinary consulting firm and maintains in-house capabili-
ties in the major fields of engineering, architecture, planning, en-
vironmental science, and economi.cs. Areas of project activ3ty that
may utilize outside services are envisioned to be DBE/WBE involvement
and input/assistance in developing alternative financing scenarios.
These areas are further discussed in Items 8 and 10, following.
4. Not applicable.
5. Construction Projects - Stanley Consultants has extensive
planning, design, and construction management experience in a broad
range of project types. Projects include power, utility, industrial,
transportation, water resources, water supply, wastewater, and gen-
eral civil types. Project size ranges from very small through large
systems with construction costs in the hundreds of millions of dol-
lars. Project locations vary geographically from local, throughout
the United States, and internationally.
Selected examples of projects which serve to demonstrate the
broad experience of Stanley Consuleants are presented in the Project
Experience section. These projects have been completed within the
previous three yeare and included participation by team members pro-
posed for your project.
6. Wastewater Projects - Stanley Consultants has extensive
planning, deaign, construction management, start-up, and operation
and maintenance experience on a wide range of wastewater collection
and treatment projects. Much of our experience involves the evalua-
tion and upgrading of existing treatment facilities. In addition we
have succesefully completed many value engineering pragrams on waste-
water projects including the first design for the Iowa City Plant.
These programs were directed to providing each project function at
optimum coet without losa of quality.
Selected examples of projects which have been campleted in the
previous five years and included participation by team members pro-
posed for your project are presented in the Project Experience aec-
tion.
7. Approach to Project - The study approach has been based on
review of available documents, discussions with city engineering and
treatment plant staff, and an on-site review af existing facilitiea.
The approach is divided into two phases.
Phase I provides an engineering and economic analysis of waste-
water transport and treatment alternatives and options for staging
the conatruction of needed facilities. Phase I will recommend one or
two alternatives for financial analysis in Phase II.
Phase II will provide financial analysis of the preferred engi-
neering solutions. The aption of privatization will be included in
I l61
�STANLEY CONSULTANTS
the analysis. The current plan as developed by the V& K-Dague Report
will be evaluated in Phases I and II and serve as the baseline case
for comparison.
8• Association With DBE/WBE - Stanley Consultants has previous
working relationships with a number of DBE and WBE consulting firms,
particularly as it relates to the planning and design of wastewater
facilities. At this particular time we have elected not to identify a
DBE and/or WBE firm for participation. Upon our selection and when
the study approach and scope are more fully defined, Stanley Consul-
tants will identify specific areas of project involvement and, with
the concurrence of city staff, select a DBE/WBE firm.
9• Privatization - Stanley Consultants has not completed a
wastewater or other municipal project involving privatization within
the last five years. We have, however, participated in the develop-
ment of a variety of innovative funding approaches to financing infra-
structure projects as outlined in Item 10, following.
10. Innovative Funding Processes and Construction Pfethods - In
response to the recent funding constraints faced by many of aur muni-
cipal clients, Stanley Consultants has structured a variety of inno-
vative financing arrangements to facilitate project implementation.
Examples of financing techniques which have been offered on our proj-
ects are "design-build-finance," "shared-savings," and "lease-buy
back." Project team member Mr. Duane Kexel has been intimately in-
volved in all of theae projects and has been supported by the exper-
tise of First Chicago Bank, our finance consultant, on your study.
Further description of these financing techniques and projects is
presented in the Innovative Funding, Processes, and Conatruction
section.
Innovative design and construction methoda are an ongoing consid-
eration for all projects designed by Stanley Consultants. Examples
include complete anaerobic digester gas utilization and energy recov-
ery; state-of-the-art sludge drying, disinfectian, and reuse; and pro-
cess monitoring and control via mainframe computer aystem. Further
description of these and other project experience is presented in the
Innovative Funding, Processes, and Construction section.
11. Work Schedule - A work task diagram and schedule for comple-
tion of the tasks and project are presented in the Approach and Sched-
ule section. A periad of 150 days has been allotted for completion of
the study and 60 days for U.S. EPA and state approval. Asauming that
notice to proceed ia received on November 1, 1984, the approved plan
can be implemen[ed beginning June 1, 1985.
12. Contact Person - The city may contact Mr. Michael Hunzinger,
P.E., Stanley Consultanta, Stanley Building, Muscat�in'e, Iowa 52761
(phone 319/264-6655) regarding this propoeal.

APPROACH TO PROJECT AND SCHEDULE
Introduction
This approach to your study is based on review of available
study documents, discussions with Iowa City engineering staff, and
wastewater treatment plant personnel and on-site review of the exist-
ing treatment facilities. The approach has been divided into two
mutually supportive phases. Phase I vill develop the engineering and
economic analysis of alternative wastecrater transport and trea[ment
schemes and facility staging plans. The objective/output of Phase I
is to select one or two alternatives and staging plans that provide
the optimum engineering solution and have the lowest present worth of
costs.
Phase II crill provide the financial anlaysis, including the
privatization option, of the selected alternatives from Phase I. The
current facilities and staging plan as developed in the V& K-Dague
Report (July, 1983) will be re-evaluated during Phasea I and II to
serve as the base case for comparison with alternatives developed
during the atudy effort.
Phase I Work Tasks
Task No. 1. Data Gathering and Review - Review all previous
planning and design documents including the I/I, SSES, Facilities
Plan, Value Engineering, and Design Inception Reports, and final
plana and apecifications. Conduct field reconnaisance of proposed
sewer routings and treatment plant site. Meet with water quality
staff of Iowa Department of IJAWM to evalvate•opportunities for equal-
ization treatment, and discharge of storm water overflow at remote
sites.
Task No. 2. Facility Evaluation - Conduct an on-site evaluation
of the existing treatment plant and major lift stations. The field
survey will be performed by key members and design specialists of the
proposed project team. The objective/output of this Task is an in-
ventory and assesament of operational and design problems and the
condition and projected useful life of treatment processes, struc-
tures, and ancillary equipment.
Task No. 3. Inflltration Evalvation - Evaluate the cost-
effectiveness of alternative means of reducing infiltration flow to
the sewer system and reducing the cost of clear water treatment at a
central facility.
The feasibility and coat of removing foundation drain flow from
the system with direct surface discharge or off-site etorm water
overflow treatment will be evaluated. A recommended strategy for
managing the infiltration flows will be developed.
Task No. 4. Value Engineering Analysis - Conduct a comprehen-
sive "value engineering" analysis on the V 6 K-Dague Plan using a
multidisciplinary team. Although the original design of the facili-
ties was subjected to two typical VE studies, the current Plan is
significantly different from that reviewed by tl�e previous VE teams.
Exemplary differences are the anaerobic digestion process, the bio-
logical oxidation towers, the screw-pump lift station, the staging oE
facilities, and upgrading at the existing treatment works.

Task No. 5. Transport and Treatment Alternatives - Develop
alternative transport and treatment schemes. Make maximum use of
storm water overflow equalization and treatment rather than convey-
ance to central treatment works. Determine facility requirements for
upgrading existing treatment plant to provide only sludge handling,
or only primary treatment, or complete primary-secondary treatment
with off-site sludge handling and storm water treatment. Develop and
evaluate staging plans for implementing alternatives.
Task Na. 6. Economic Analysis - Determine capital and opera-
tional costs and environmental impact for staged alternatives. Rank
the alternatives based on total present worth, environmental assess-
ment, ease of implementation, and constructability. Select preferred
alternative(s) for Einancial analysis under Phase II. The preferred
alternative(s) and staging plan(s) will be presented to the City for
reviev and comment and modified accordingly.

•aati �.�. �. �aen�iiy cicy rinanciat objectives - Stanley
Consultante will meet with City staff to discuss funding constraints
and objectives to be addressed in evaluating various financing plans.
Specifically, consideration will be given to trade-offs between
present worth of costs and the rate impacts of the project. At some-
what greater total cost, early rate shocks can often be mitigated.
Outstanding debt will also be examined to determine any re-
quirements for refunding of existing debt in conjunetion with this
project.
Task No. 8. Identify and Model Alternative Financing Plans —
The purpoae of this task is to identify methods of financing that
will make implementation of the preferred altetnative economically
and politically palatable. Alternative financing concepts for
evaluation will include, at least, the following:
- Conventional debt.
- Innovative debt instrumenta/city retaina ownership.
- Lease-Buy-Back.
- Design-Finance-Build/City retains ownership.
- Full privatization.
Stanley Conaultants will provide project descriptions, cost estimates,
and historic operating statements to banks, third-party financiers,
and design-build organizations to obtain proposed commercial terms
and parameters for the project.
Banka will provide suggested approachea to meet the City's
objectives uaing innovative debt ins[ruments. Deferred principal
loans, variable payment inatruments, and simultaneous short- and
long-term barrowing can be used to dampen early cost shocks.
Third-party terms far lease-buy-back and desi�n-build approaches
will be obtained from associatea with whom we are currently develop-
ing other projects.
Stanley Coneultants will then develop computer models which
generate pro-forma operating statements for both Iowa City and the
potential owner/operator.

Task No. 9. Rate Analysis and Recommendation - Using the models
developed in Task No. 8, Stanley Consultants will praject the annual
cost to the City under each financing plan. Rate increments over
time will be plotted to show the pattern of increases required to
cover project costs using each financing method. The comparison of
rate increments over time and the total present worth of costs
againat the City's financial objectives will determine the recom-
mended financing option for the preferred project.
Task No. 10. Prepare Draft and Final Reports - A Draft Report
will be prepared pxesenting the results of alternative development
and analyeis; staging plana; and economic, rate, and financial
analysis. A recammended transport and treatment scheme and staging
plan will be identified and compared with the V S K-Dague Plan. The
Report will be submitted and presented to appropriate city personnel
for review and comment. All review comments will be addressed and
incorparated in the Final Report prepared for submittal to the City
and regulatory agencies.
Task No. 11. Regulatory Review and Approval - The Final Report
will be submitted to the Iowa Department WAWM far review and ap-
proval. Stanley Consultants wi11 meet and work with agency personnel
to the maximum extent necessary to present/explain the Report and
achieve prompt review and approval. All agency review comments will
be addresaed and incorporated as apprapriate by an Addendum to the
Final Report.
Schedule
A summary Work Task Diagram and proposed Schedule for project
completion and regulatory approval are presented on the following
page. Work Tasks on the Diagram are numbered to coordinate with the
above Task descriptions. The study phase will be completed within
150 days of your Notice-To-Proceed. A period of 60 days has been

INNOVATIVE FUNDING, PROCESSES, AND CONSTRUCTION
Znnovative Financing
In response to the recent funding constraints faced by many of
our clients, Stanley Consultants has structured a variety of innova-
tive financing arrangements. Project team member Mr. Duane Kexel has
been intimately involved with all of these projects. Among [he
financing techniques being offfered on our projects, the following
exmaples are of direct interest to your study.
o Stanley Consultants routinely includes computer models illus-
trating the potential gains from third-party finance in our
feasibility and financing studies. A group of Illinois muni-
cipalities (River Cities Associates) is currently evaluating
a lease-buy back arrangement proposed by Stanley Consultants
for hydroelectric development. In this project we projected
that the cities could reduce projec[ costs by more than 20
percent and could eliminate six years of negative cash flows
that accure under conventional financing terms.
Reference: Mr. Gary L. Zimmerman, Liaison Officer
312/446-2500
• Stanley Consultants is working with the city of Rock Falls,
Illinois, and the First Chicago Bank ta combine short- and
long-term debt instruments in a unique package which yields
sufficient arbitrage earnings to offset all in[erest during
construction and to pay a portion of actual construction
coet. The First Chicago Bank considera this package to be
a breakthrough innovation in municipal finance and has an
active interest in further development of this concept for
municipal infraseructue investments. In addition, the bank
provides accesa to a wide variety of more traditional financ-
ing arrangemenes.
Reference: Mr. John E. Backlund, Assistant Vice President
312/732-1280
e Stanley Consultants has proposed a complete design-build-
finance package for a major power plant in the southwest in
conjunction wi[h a conatruction campany and a coal company.
Reference: Furnished upon request.
• Stanley Consultants Sa offering hospital energy conservation
and generation plans on a shared-savings basis with a firm
apecializing in third-party finance.
Reference: Furnished upan request.
In aummary, Stanley Conaultants is currently working with
several third-party entities and with a leading Chicago bank on
developing a variety of approaches to financing municipal infra-
structure. Because of their dominant position in municipal finance
in Illinois, the First Chicago Bank is committed to developing fi-
nancing methods that allow needed infrastruc[ure investments to be
made. They are thus ideally suited to work with Stanley Consultants
to identify and evaluate the most advanta�eous approach for the Iowa
City Wastewa[er Plan.

Resolurion No. 84-` of the Iowa City Council. 7he specific property in

Although I have not reviewed the abstract. your May 18. 1983 title
opi�ion, addressed to Home Savings & Loan, and Dwain C. Rosenberger and
Kay Rosenberger� indicates that the above-described parcel was originally
conveyed from a larger tract in 1948. (Apparently, that was the first
conveyance from the larger tract.) Since that time, canveyances from the
larger tract were made in 1965, 1967, 1968 and 1970, but no Code Chapter
409 subdivision has been filed ar approved with respect to the 1and.
I� any event, however, and regardless of the original proprietor's failure
to plat before making the 1965 and subsequent conveyances� it would appear
that the 1948 conveyance of the parcel in question was not subject to the
subdivision platting requirements now found in Iowa Cade Chapter 409.
Therefore, I am of the opinion that a building permit would not be denied
for the property in question because pf a faflure to subdivide in these
particular situations.

To: Members of the City Council
from: Anne Carroll
Re: FY85 Pay Plans
Resolutions adopting the FY85 AFSCME, Administrative and Confidential pay
plans are included on the agenda for your consideration. FY85 pay plans for
the Police and Fire unions were previously approved by Council as attachments
to the Police and Fire contracts and provided for across-the-board salary
increases of 3.25% (Police) and 3% (fire) over FY84 salaries.
AFSCME, Administrative and Confidential pay plans additionally reflect the
results of changes in the union/non-union status of nine positions. These
bargaining unit amendments were agreed to by both AFSCME and the City. Formal
approval by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) is anticipated
within the next several days and we will notify Couqcil when formal approval
is received. The specifics of these and other changes to the pay plans are as
fol}ows:
AFSCME
The AFSCME pay plans reflect a 4% across-the-board increase previous]y
negotiated as a second year of a two year contract.
Amendments of positions into the AFSCME bargaining unit inclUde:

Note: No employee's salary will be reduced as a result of amendment into the

Add9tionally, the classification of the position of Maintenance Worker I

position performs cashier duties at the Landfill and is responsible for doing
n

preliminary checking to prevent the entrance of prohibited hazardous wastes
into the Landfiil. The AFSCME Job Evaluation Comnittee recomnends that the
classification of the position of MW I- Landfill be changed from AFSCME
salary grade 2(513,104-16,764) to AFSCME salary grade 3(513,540-17,374).
Costs of this increase in FY85 are approximately #560.
Confidential
The Confidential pay plans reflects a 4X across-the-board increase as
previously approved by Council.
The position of Administrative Secretary - Parks and Recreation was amended
into the Confidential group from the AFSCME bargaining unit, moving from
AFSCME salary grade 6(b14,955-19,260) to Confidential grade 47 (b16,307-
21,112). The duties of the position were also re-evaluated at this time by
the Confidential Jab Evaluation Committee, which is reflected in the relative
increase in salary range.
Administrative
The Administrative pay plans reflects a 3.5� increase to the salary ranges as
previously approved by Council. A total of 4.5% was approved as available
for individual salary increases based on performance evaluations. (Individ-
ual increases may be awarded to be greater or less than the 3.5X range
increase which will impact on the individual's movement forward or backwards
within the salary range.)

include:

Re: Aid to Agencies Contracts
As you know, the City Council discussed Aid to Agencies funding at their
informal session on January 30, 1984. The following FY85 allocations for
agencies were made at that time:

Domestic Violence Project 9 450
Elderly Services Agency 24�675

Mayor s Youth Employment 27 500
Mark IV/Willowcreek g�32�
Rape Victim Advocacy 9 865

TOTAL AGENCY FUNDING b157,787
These nine agency contracts run from July 1 through June 30 and therefore
must be renewed on July 1, 1984, to reflect the new FY85 allocations.
Items are detailed in the agenda with dollar amounts as determined by the
Council on January 30, 1984, as well as funding amounts from FY85. No

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 8, 1984
To: City Council
From: 'Assistant City Manager
Re: H.R.4103 Negotiated Compromise
The June 4, 1984, edition of Nation's Citi_es Weekly, which you received
this week, contains extensive in ormat on regar ng the above-referenced
negotiated compromise. Since several of the issues involved relate to
concerns regarding approval of the transfer of the locai franchise to new
ownership, you may wish to review the terms of the compromise rather
closely. In addition, it is anticipated that cities will be asked to take
a position regarding this compromise and to convey that position to our
Federal legislators in the near future.
Staff will continue to review the implications of this legislation as well
as the status of the bill in Congress, and will report to Council on its
progress.

ARD BY JOHNSON COUNTY, fONA:
SECTION I. PURPOSE. The purpose of this
or inance, o e nown as the Johnson

or the Airport Zoning Ordinance, is to
exercise to the fullest extent possible
the powers granted to muncipalities under
Chapter 329 of the Code of Iowa (1983)
relating to the restriction of airport
hazards in the vicinity of airports by
�� establishing airport overiay zones in
� ahich airport hazards and incompatible
� uses are prohibited.
I SECTION II. FINDINGS. The City Council
0 owa ty and t e Board of Supervisors
� of Johnson County find that airport
; hazards and incompatible uses would
i endanger the lives and property of users
of the Iowa City t1unicipal Airport, and
occupants of land and other persons in its
vicinity, and also would tend to destroy
i or impair the utility of the airport and
; the public investment therein; accord-
1 ingly, each municipality does hereby
declare that:
f R. The creation or establishment of an
airport hazard is a public nuisance
� causing potential in�ury to those
I served by the airport;
� 8. It is necessary in the interest of the
� public health, safety, and general
� welfare that creation of airport
hazards and the establishment of
� incompatible uses of land be pre-
vented, and that this be accomplished,
to the extent legally possible, by
. proper exercise of the police power;
C. The prevention of the treation or
establishment of airport hazards and
incompatible uses, and the elimina-
tion, removal, alteration, mitigation
or marking and lighting of existi�9

airport hazards are public purposes
for which a municipality may raise anc
expend public funds, as an incident ta
the operation of the airport, ta
acquire land or property interests
therein;
D. Because of the propensity of sanitary
landfills for attracting birds, which
in turn ere hazardaus to aircraft in
fiight, landfills are not considered
compatible with airport operations;
E. It is highly desirable that there be
no structures or natural objects ar
traverseways within the airport clear
zones; and

liable for the expenditure of its
public funds uniess such expenditure
shall have been approved in advance by
its governing body.

plans to, and vill not, be employed in ehis establishment. �e
find as a fact that he will not. Also the city suggeses the
re[ention oE ehe name ind�ieates a bustness in[ecest 6y Mr.
Wilke. We disagree. Mr. Chait has obtatned [he trade name
rlghts in the name as shown by the trade names registra[ion Eorm
oEEeced Sn evidence. While Mr. Chait may be 6uying good will
with the name ve do not think Ghis shovs any xetained intecest
for Mr. Wilke. In ehese latter Eindings we speek only Co
suggestions made by the City, no Eindings oE fact vere made by
the City Council in this regard, either expressly oc impliedly
whtch ve need to revecse.
The record contains no inttmation [hat Mr. Chait is no[
qualiEied to hold a license, and ve find on the record before us,
that the lieense,vould have been granted by the City bu[ Eoc the
landlord and name in[eres[ of Mr. Wilke.
Concluaions of Lav
The questlon ehen on the facts beEore us is simply puti
Does a landlord interest eonstitute sufficient interese in a
licensed business so as Co fnvoke the pro�ibition of 5 1=3.40.
While ae heve some d{fEiculcy aith this, we believe it does not
and therefore reverse the decision of the city.

f
'rle first Cake note oE 5�27.32(2) vhich provides [hat a
city deeision not to issue a license shall not be held to be
arbi[rary, capricious or vithout reasonable cause. This gives
very broad discre[ion to a cicy, and ve are general?y obliged to
defer to its decision and uphold it on any grounds uhich ar? no[
illegal. We have held in [he findings of Eace that the City
denied the license on [he basis oE its reading of the prohibitlon
S 123.40 and its belieE thaG [he landlord intecese came within
that prohibition. We now hold [hat this laeter vas a mistake !n
[he application o£ the lav, and that on a proper application, on
thls record, the license should be lssued. .
Cenerally ehe landlord's interest in pcopere� leased to
anothec is stzictly a reverstonary interest unless the lease
provides otherwise. The lease in thls case does not. Nr. Wilke
retains only his reversionary [nterest. The fact that the name
goes vi[h Che business does not aEfect his interest.
Theore[ically, he would gaLn by [he increased good vill in [he
busLness a[ the end oE the lease period if [he buflding does
revert. However in thls case, he cannoG clatm that Eor 12 years
1E the�licensee exercises his aptions, over which Mr. Wilke has
no eontrol. Also the trade name rights, hence the good vill in
[he name, have been turned over to licensee Sn a separate� albeit
related, transac[lon and uould not necessarily revert vith the
proper[y.
The City argues tha[ ve should analogize to the rule
which prohfbics a supplier £rom being a landlord of a llcensed
establishment. IAC 150-4.10, intended to enEorce 5 123.45. We
think the analogy !s inappropriate. The purposes are different.
The supplier/landlord prohibition is to prevent a"tied house"j
the S 123.40 prohib(tion is a penalcy pravision pcimarily, and
serves also to keep those who have shoun themselves unqualfEied
foc a licenr.�e from controlling licensed establishmencs. No[hing
fn thls record shows Mr, Wilke uould heve any control and, in
' 7 '
I I Sg

face, the cecord before us belies any such asseceion. The
penalt� aspeet is secved 6y keeping the cevoked licensee Erom
having che license, and by ehe Eaet Cha[ Che premises have no[
been licensed for a year. The statute gives an indication ehae
the legislatur? did noe believe being a landland conscituted
having an interesc in the business. The s[a[u[e contains no
prohibition agains[ a landlocd vho is [he landlord onl•, of a
premises where [�e license is revok=d fcom renting [o anoeher
licensee aE[er [he first year. See 5 123.40. IE the landlocd oE
the licensee vho was revoked does not have an incerese in the
revoked business sufEicient to brin9 h!m viehin Che prohibi[ion
for the second yeer, then a landlord/
licensee vhose llcense vas revoked vould not, by vir:ue onl oE
6eing the landlord, have suc� an ineecest in a nev 6usiness
licensed in the seeond year.
Our conclusion is tha[ being a landlord oE a premises
for vhich a liquor license is soughG does noe, standing alone,
give ehe landlord an interest in the licensed business. See,
e•g•, Application of Penny Hill Corp., 154 A.2d BBB, 2 Storey 203
(Del S. Ct. 1959)(Liquor commissioner's landlord interest not an
Sndirece interest in sale oE ltquoel. Consequently we find chat
the City Council of Iowa City made a mistake oE lav in Einding
such lnterest required denial of the present applieation. We
thereEore ceverse the deciaion of the City Council.
The deeision of the City Council oE Iova City is
therefore ORDERED: REVERSED and the license for Wright Stteet,
Inc., d/b/a/ Wilke'S in Iova City, Iova, is ORUERE�: ISSUEO.

Re: City of Iowa City UMTA Application
Dear Senator Jepsen:
Oemand for transit service in Iawa City is continuing to grow. Ridership
during this fiscal year is expected to exceed 2.5 million passengers. In
response to this demand, the City Council has decided to expand transit
service this fal1. However, in order to accompiish this expansion, it is
necessary that the City purchase six additional transit caaches. There-
fore, the City has submitted a Section 3 grant application ta the Urban
Mass Transportation Administration Region _7 Office in Kansas City,
Missouri.
The Sectian 3 program is a discretionary program far which the City has '
been told funding is very 'competitive. Therefore, the City of Iowa City ,
would very much appreciate any assistance you can provide to insure
approval of our application.
Thank yau for your assistance and please contact me with any questions or '
comments.
S' er ours,

MENIORANDUM
Date: June 13, 1984
To: City Council
From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
Re: Recent Legislation Regarding Manufactured Homes
Attached please find a copy of the enrolled Senate File 2228. This bill
has been signed by the Governor and becomes law July 1, 1984. It prohib-
its zoning regulations or other ordinances which disallow plans and
specifications of a proposed residential dwelling solely because it is a
manufactured home.
It is not clearly understood at this time what the total impact of this
legislation wi11 be. Staff will attend a workshop in Oes Moines an
June 19,1984, which wi11 focus on this legislation and its effects at the
local level.
It appears that the City can sti11 require that manufactured homes be
placed on foundations and that they are subject to all other requirements
Qf the Zoning Ordinance which apply to site built structures. In addi-
tion, all manufactured homes are subject to provisions of the national
Uniform Building Code at the time of manufacture and must. be certified in
canpliance by the manufacturer. However, no 1oca1 inspection is conducted
to verify this compliance. Manufactured homes would not be necessarily in
compliance with any provisions of the Uniform Building Code amendments
which have passed since the time of manufacture, nor would they be subject
to local amendments.
This tegislation does provide an exception in that manufactured hames
cannot be placed on any lot where a recorded restrictive covenant would
prohibit its location.
Planning staff wi11 conduct a more thorough evaluation of the impact of
this legislation after the completion of the workshop on June 19. A
report will be prepared for Council detailing the impact of this legisla-
tion on Iowa City and what alternatives may exist for addressing thase
problems.

From: Drew Shaffer�s
Re: Response to Requests for Further Information Concerning the BTC's
Recomnended Approval Conditions of Sale
In response to the request from Councilmember Baker for further information
on three of the approval conditions recomnended by the BTC, the following is
provided.
Condition !3 concerns the BTC's desire to see this system remain a single
tier systen that includes all of the services it now offers at one price on
the basic service tier. This desire was motivated by an interest in
retaining the City's ability to regulate basic service rates, as Iowa City
can now do under the FCC's ruling of Nove�nber 8, 1983. Two factors will ulti-
mately affect this condition, including HR4103 which wi11 determine the rate
regulatory authority of cities and a case currently being appealed to the FCC
cal]ed Community Cable N v. Nevada. The outcome of this appeal will
determine whether a city has the authority to regulate tiering of a cable
system.
Condition 68 concerns the franchise fee payment schedule. The BTC recan-
mended changing the current payment schedule, based on the calendar year, to
coincide with the City's fiscal year. In addition, rather than paying once a
year as the cable canpany now does, the BTC recortmended the canpariy pay the
City the amount owed each quarter. This will enable the City to more
accurately project what this revenue source wi11 amount to and enable the
City to collect the interest on these funds. Currently, the company pays the
franchise fee once each year by the end af the third month after their
calendar year ends. For example, a payment to the City on March 31, 1984, is
made by the tompany for the gross annual revenues for the 1983 calendar year.
Condition �11 concerns the use of the access facilities proposed by the
grantee to Iowa City. The BTC recomnended that the grantee pay an additional
amount in support of the Iowa City access facilities for use of those
facilities by subscribers from other communities whose franchise has been let
to the same grantee. This is particularly true of Coralville, where produc-
tion staff and equipment were promised by the grantee to Coralville resi-
dents, when in fact it is the Iowa City access facilities and staff that are
used by Coralville residents.
If you have any further questions please feel free to ca11 me at 356-5046.

RE: Property Tax Revenues
We received the June property tax check this week and had a pleasant
surprise as it amounted to approximately 5490,000. This puts tax
collections for the fiscal year at 99.92% of budget. Property tax
checks in the month of June have typically averaged between $150,000
to 5115,000. Our preliminary projections were based upon the June
check amounting to approximately 5z20,000. Conrtnents from the County
indicated that the June check would be larger than usual but we did
not anticipate that it would be this large.
Therefore, the freeze has been lifted on the purchase of capital
outlay items and the filling of vacant positions. We will, however,
encourage the delay of same capital autlay purchases until October.
This is due to the fact that seasonal employees and seasonal work
increases cash flow needs ta a maximum level during the sumner months.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 14, 1984
To: City Countil
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance �
Re: Automatic Payment of Utility Customer Accounts
Effective June 18, 1964, the City of Iowa City will offer its utility customers
the opportunity to pay their water/sewer/refuse bi11s by preauthorized autamatic
bank account withdrawals. From our contacts with Public Technology, Incorporated
and the International City Management Association, it appears that Iowa City will
be the first city in the U.S. to use fu11 electronic. transfer for payment of
municipal accounts.
The automatic bank account withdrawals are processed through the Iowa Electronic
Transfer System which was created to allow for innovative development of elec-
tronic transfers at a faster pace than was being accomplished by the Federal
Reserve System. All area banks are members of this system, as are most credit
uoions. These members have agreed to accept the electronic transfers. The
attached brochure explaining automatic payment wi11 be mailed to all utility
customeFs within the next six weeks. New customers will be offered automatic
payment at the time they are signed up for water service.
The regular water/sewer/refuse bill will continue ta be mailed to the customer.
The custamer would then have 14 days to contact the City should there be any
unexpected billing problems. After the 14 day period, the City would produce a
computer tape of automatic payments to be processed through the Iowa Electronic
Trensfer System. The amount of the water/sewer/refuse bi11 is then withdrawn
from the customer's bank actount and deposited into the City's bank account.
Through the use of automatic payments, the customer can realize definite time and
money savings and sti11 maintain control of the payments. If a question arises
within the 14 day period, a phone call will stop the direct payment on that bill.
Costs to the City will be minimal and will be more than offset by the benefits to
be derived from the program. The actual cost per account is 1.58 per utility
account. One benefit of the program will be allowing customers to have bi11s
paid on a regular basis whether they are at home or out of town - vacations,
business trips, etc. - which often create problems involving delinquencies on
bills. It will also reduce the City's daily number of cash register transactions
and will provide additional interest income for the City due to earlier deposits.
We have worked with Iowa State Bank 8 Trust to establish this service and they
witl be coordinating the processing of our computer tapes through the Iowa
Electronic Transfer System. All local banks are very supportive of the program
and are eager to see the City implement it. This is the reason for the minimal
fees. The banks are increasingly interested 9n paperless transactions whicfi sig-
nificanily rEduce their workload. Three Iowa City banks have volunteered to help
the City advertise the pragram by including mailirigs of the attached brochure
with their customers' bank statements.

Re: Canoe Trip
t4ayor t4cDanald has proclaimed June as Iowa River 14onth. This coincides
with the proclamation by Governor Branstad which designates June, 1984, as
a time for all Iowans to partake of the recreational opportunities along
the State's rivers and to become informed and involved in action to assure
the rivers' continued presence.
In order to survey the interesting features of the Iowa River as well as
to assess the problem areas along the riverbanks, the Iowa City Riverfront
Cortmission has scheduled a canoe trip for Saturday, June 30, 1984. The
Commission cordially invites you to participate in this event.
Canoes will be launched approximately 9:30 A.M. at the Sturgis Ferry boat
ramp. The trip will continue to Hills, Iowa.
If you are interested in taking part in this trip, please contact Monica
t4oen, the Planning and Program Development staff person working with the
Riverfront Cortmission, at 356=5247 by Friday, June 22, 1984. Details of
the canoe trip will be sent to all participants the week of the trip. We
hope you're able to join us! �

�ate: June 14, 1984
To: Mayor 14c0onald and City Council Members
From: Diana Lewis, Chair, Riverfront Comnission ��r
Re: Request to meet with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
On February 22, 1984, the Iowa City Riverfront Comnission sponsored a
special meeting on riverbank stabilization methods. A host of interre-
lated forces cause riverbank erosion and the intent of the Comnission was
to inform property owners residing along the Iowa River of a11 the factors
involved in analyzing erosion problems and to acquaint them with suitable
riverbank erosion control methods. Representatives from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, the Oepartment of Water, Air and Waste �Management, the
Iowa Conservation Comnission, the University of Iowa Institute of Hydrau-
lic Research and the City's Forestry �ivision were present to provide
information and to answer residents' questions regarding streambank
stabilization.
Beeause setdom can so many experts from different agencies be available at
the same time to provide information on this topic, the Riverfront
Commission proposed that Iowa City residents as we11 as Coralville and
Johnson County riverfront property owners be notified of this meeting.
Approximately 175 residents were present at the meeting.
Many residents attending the meeting shared the attitude �that if the
Coralville Reservoir were regulated to emphasize fload control versus
recreational interests, streambank erosion would not be an issue below the
dam. The Corps was also criticized for what the residents regarded as
erratic control of the dam. At times, significant amounts of water are
released from the reservoir, during which time, soils around riverbanks
become saturaied. After periods of intensive release rates, they argued,
the Corps reduces the flow from the dam such that saturated banks no
longer have a force shoring them up. Consequently, the saturated banks
break away and fall into the river. If moderate release of water from the
reservoir occurred and if water were released during drier months, the
residents mai�tain, the need for substantial streambank stabilization
would not occur. •
Since the February 22nd meeting, the Riverfront Commission has determined
that it would be valuable to meet with Corps personnel to discuss all of
the components that must be considered in regulating the Coralville
Reservoir. Because of the unfriendly reception the Corps received at the
February meeting, Corps staff inembers are reluctant to attend another
public meeting; however, they encourage Riverfront Commission members to
come to the Rock Island District office to meet with experts able to
answer questions the Comnission has.
1�9�
■
-, Z --
The Commission has generated a list of questions (attached) which the
Comnission proposes to send to the Corps prior to a meeting between the
Corps and three to four Riverfront Comnission members. This would enable
the Corps to prepare the information needed to satisfactorily artswer the
questions. A meeting the week of Ju1y 16 or July 23 is anticipated.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 14, 1984
To: City Council
From: Senior Center Evaluation Cortmittee
Re: Senior Center Evaluation Report
it has come to our attention that questions were raised at the May 22 City
Council .meeting regarding the Senior Center evaluation. We hope that the
following information answ.ers those questions.
1. Who were the members of the evaluation comnittee?
Answer: Bill Coen, Chairperson, Senior Center Cortmission; I4argaret Clover,
Vice Chair, Senior Center Cortmission; Kathleen ��orris, Chair, Council of
Elders; Jim Lapitz, Vice Chair, Council of Elders; Bette Heisel, Senior
Center Coordinator; Pat Ducey, Senior Center Program Specialist.
2. What was the staff involvement in the evaluation process?
Ansaer: Staff were equal members of the team. They supplied information, in
the nine areas studied, of which the other members had no knowledge - i.e.
fiscal management, recordkeeping, etc.
3. What was the staff involvement in the preparation of the report?
Answer: No more nor less than the other four members •as to weight of
opinions and concerns. They, of course, did a11 the preparation of materials
before each meeting so that the meetings could proceed in an efficient
manner.
4. Who wrote the report?
'Answer: The comnittee wrote the repart at its final meeting. The Program
Specialist edited the report. A draft was then sent to comnittee members and
the Senior Center Comnission to critique before being shared with the City
Council, County Board of Supervisors and Council of Elders.
5. What justification is there for recommendations in the report?
Answer: The evaluation cortmittee met two times a week for five weeks. Each
of these sessions lasted 2-1/2 - 3 hours. We used a 150-page workbook
designed by the National Council on Aging. The recommendations in our
sumnary report come out of that lengthy and critical appraisal of the
operation of the Center. We do not believe it would be a sensible use of our
time to write out a lengthy explanation for each recommendation. However, we
would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the report in
detail.

From: Frank Farmer, City Engineer ����
Re: Sanitary Sewer Improvements
City Council at the April 17, 1984, informal Council meeting, instructed
staff to proceed with the Sanitary Sewer Improvements, which consist of
two (2) projects, the Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project and Outfall
Relief System Rehabilitation Project. The Outfall Relief System Rehabili-
tation Project includes relocation and replacement of the sanitary sewer
line across the formal Central Juniar High site, which Mercy Hospital is
canvertinq into a parking lot. The entrance for the parking facility is
located over a ten inch sanitary sewer line and the attached work order
will allow the City ta install a manhole over the ten inch sanitary sewer
line and stub a new sanitary sewer line south of the parking entrance
before the parking facility is compieted. This will save the removal and
replacement of the new parking entrance and the need for installing a
temporary entrance into the parking lot when the remaining Outfall Relief
System Rehabilitation Project is completed.
This project has caused some delay to the contractor far the Mercy
Hospital parking facility and using the work order through Mercy Hospital
is faster than the City having their own informal contract and has kept
the Mercy Haspital contractor involved and informed. The cost of this
work will be 58,445.90.

Re: Church Street Repair
The portion of the 100 block of Church Street, located between Clinton
Street and Oubuque Street is in need of repair. The street surface is now
brick with severat concrete patches and sub-base failures. P1ans and
specifications were prepared by Engineering for an informal contract and
bids were received from four (4) contractors to make these repairs. Repair
work includes the south lane within 140 feet of the intersection with
Dubuque Street, where the sub-base failures occurred. Alternate 1 entaits
constructing the improvements by reptacing the brick surface. Alternate 2
entails constructing the improvements with a concrete surface. The bids
received are�as follows:

In the past ten years, it has been City policy to repair brick streets
with brick. The brick surface cost is 42 percent greater than the
concrete surface cost. Due to the high cost of brick paving, staff
requests Council's advice as ta which alternate they prefer so that
Engineering may proceed with this project.

�� Applications for Use of Iowa River for Water Ski Shows
Three applications for the use of the Iowa River for ski shows have been
received from the Coralville Ski Club. In the past few years the City
Manager has reluctantly approved a show on July 4th in the vicinity of
City Park.
The Riverfront Comnission continues to recomnend against events of this
type (see memorandum attached) as does the Department of Parks and
Recreation. In addition, the insurance coverage provided with the appli-
cations is inadequate. For these reasons the City t4anager.has denied
all three applications.
The Manager has discussed the requirements with the Jaycees and expects
that a permit will be issued for the �uly 4 event.
The City Council approved an ordinance on June 22, 1982, whereby the City
Manager is delegated the authority to approve or deny requests to hold
events of this type. An appeal process is not included in the ordinance.
A representative of the Ski Club plans to appear before the Council this
evening during public discussion.
A copy of the City t4anager's letter to the Ski Club also is attached for
your information.

In recent years the City has issued a permit for a water ski show for
the Iowa City Jaycees Fourth of Ju1y celebration. This year applica-
tions have been received from Coralville's 4ater Ski Club for three
events. The City previously issued the Fourth of July permit with great
reluctance, for it does not wish to encourage use of the ri4er for this
purpose.
Both the Riverfront Commission and the Parks and Recreation Director
have recommended against the issuance of these permits. The proposed
insurance does not appear to be adequate for any of the events. A
poticy of t500�000 coverinq spectators certainly is not sufficient for
the number of spectators present. In addition. the policy oeither
protects the participants nor the City.
For the foregoing reasons, the requests must be denied.

Re: Water-Skiing Exhibition Requests
The Ioaa City Riverfront Comnission encourages the use of the Iowa River for
recreational purposes. The Comnission, however, has encouraged more passive
river activities and has discouraged the use of vessels with larger motors in
the vicinity of City Park.
At its June 6, 1984, meeting, the Riverfront Commission cited the following
reasons to discourage water-skiing exhibitions on the river:
1. The Iowa City Code expressly prohibits the operation of vessets towing
persons on water skis, surfboards or similar devices (Section 24-83(F)).
There appear to be no justifiable grounds to permit a restricted activ-
;ty.
2. Because of the nature of water-skiing exhibitions, other vessels and
individuals are excluded fran using the river.
3. Debris below the water surface and submerged trees and limbs produte
hazardous conditions for water-skiing activities.
4. Nakes praduced by vessels equipped with large motors further deteriorate
and erode the fragile riverbanks.
5. Pollution levels within the river may produce a health hazard to indi-
v9duals in the river.
6. A suitable boat ramp in the vicinity of City Park is unavailable.
In the interest of consistency with previous recommendations made by the
Riverfront Commission in regard to recreational activities on the Iowa River
and specifically in regard to previous requests made for water-skiing
exhibitions, it is recomnended that permission for water-skiing activities
proposed by the Jaycee's, by 1lestinghouse Electric, and by Delta Chi Frater-
nity be denied.

A design engineer fran Shive-Nattery reviewed the proposed changes to the
Pharmaceutical Development Incorporated site plan. The minor changes
include relocating the office building (one side to another). shifting
warehouse location, modifying parking and drainage patterns, changing the
building exterior, and moving the location of driveways along Heinz Road.
The building's exterior walls are made of prestressed concrete slabs. The
representative explained that additional shrubbery and vegetation will be
planted beyond the minimum requirements.
CABLE TV SALE:
Drew Shaffer and Michael Sigrin answered questions from the Council.
Council briefly comnented on the memo from Nick Johnson and agreed to
pursue the 11 Broadband Telecommunications Comnission's recortmended
conditions for approval of sale, Shaffer noted that the franchise
agreement expires in 1994 and that it is not an exclusive franchise. In
response to Baker, Shaffer said that Derlin has asked ATC for a breakdown
of the purchase and about rate regulation. Berlin noted that the purchase
price of the system won't have to be entirely absorbed by system users
because of tax benefits gained by Heritage Cable. Helling said that the
proposed legislation limits increases to a maximum of five percent per
year over the next six years after the expiration of the City rate cap in
four years. In response to Erdahl, Sigrin said that although municipal
ownership of the cable system might be a theoretical ideal, time and money
constraints prevent City purchase at this time, Erdahl noted that
although the actual value of the current cable system would be �3-�5
million if constructed today, tax incentives allow Heritage to offer over
tll million as well as the advantage of having a franchise without
competition. Shaffer said the City probably cannot regulate the sale
price but it could temporarily freeze rates. McDonald said that the
system users can thoose to drop the service because of high rates. Erdahl
� 3 _.
replie6 that poor people shouldn't be deprived of basic services such as
the library channel. Dickson said that the high purchase price "is the
result of unabashed greed." Jansen said a cable economist could do an
appraisal as a basis for controlling the price. Helling said that an
appraiser would cost about E5,000. Sigrin said that the City might be
entitled to its three percent franchise fee for the purchase price in
access of the system's actual property value. Jansen said that the
ordinance is silent on that point. He will research this question and
report back to Council. Strait suggested that Nick Johnson be included on
the City's negotiating team. Erdahl said that tlie Comnission's decision
on negotiating team membership should be honored. The Council agreed that
the comnittee's 11 points should be negotiated along with the issue of the
three percent franchise fee applied to the portion of the purchase price.
Helling pointed out that the application of the three percent franchise
fee to a portion of the current purchase price relates to ATC only, while
a franchise fee increase will be negotiated with Heritage. Council agreed
to add a 12th point to negotiations with Heritage providing for the City
to reteive franchise fee revenue on a portion of profits from any future
eale of the franchise.
