EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR:
BAILEY COUNTY VALVE REPLACEMENT
ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
Background:
The Bailey County Transmission Line was installed in the 1950s and continues to be in service today. The
City of Lubbock is looking to optimize the number and size of valves in four (4) existing vaults along the
transmission line. In recent years, the valves and vaults along the transmission line have shown
considerable wear, and the City's water supply strategy has shifted since construction of the transmission
line to utilize more water from Lake Alan Henry and Lake Meredith. Furthermore, the City also actively
works to preserve groundwater from the Bailey County wellfield for the future. This change in operation
may warrant a new valving strategy to optimize flow through the Bailey County Line for the City's current
and future water supply strategy.
General:
The City of Lubbock would like a condition assessment and recommendations for repair/replacement or
modifications to the Bailey County Transmission line flow control valve vaults as needed in order to meet
TCEQ and City of Lubbock Standards (The "Project"). The assessment and recommendations shall pertain
to four existing valve vaults including structural, hydraulic, and electrical systems. The four existing vaults
with three valves each — one 12", one 18", and one 30". The existing vaults are located near Amherst,
Littlefield, Shallowater and Pump Station 4. The existing vaults are in TxDOT ROW and adjacent to BNSF
Railway ROW.
A. The Project's primary objectives will consist of the following:
1. Preliminary Design (Condition Assessment & Preliminary Design Report (PDR)) - Evaluate
existing structural, electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems at the four flow control valve
vaults to optimize the transmission lines operational function and meet code requirements. A
PDR will summarize results of the Condition Assessment and provide conceptual design
solutions and Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) to improve the valve vaults. The
PDR will also include a hydraulic analysis to aid in flow control valve recommendation. A
surveyor will be contractor to perform site survey and Level B SUE around the existing valve
vaults during preliminary design.
2. Final Design (Production of Construction Documents) - Develop construction plans and
specifications for the advertisement and procurement of construction services for
FNI Professional Agreement Page 1 of 15
improvements (structural, electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical) for the four Bailey County
Transmission line flow control valve vaults as recommended in the PDR. Final Design may
include two bid packages: one early release procurement package for the flow control valves
and another for the rest of the recommended improvements. The Construction Documents
will be structured based on the Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) method of Contractor
selection.
3. Bid and Award services.
B. The following are not part of the Project:
1. Assessment of or modifications to existing Bailey County Transmission Line outside of the four
valve vaults.
2. Geotechnical Investigation is not included in the scope.
3. Level A SUE (potholing) is not included in the scope.
4. General Representation is not included in the scope.
5. Resident Project Representation (RPR) is not included in the scope.

(b) Preliminary Design Report: A PDR will summarize results of the Condition
Assessment and provide conceptual design solutions and an Opinion of Probable
Construction Cost (OPCC) for the recommended valve vault improvements. The

• An evaluation of alternatives and recommended designs for the project
systems, including major equipment selections such as flow control
valves and actuators, structural repair, ventilation improvement,
chlorine analysis improvements, site modifications, preliminary
electrical layout and one -line diagrams, P&ID's, and equipment tagging
schedules, and site security improvement recommendations.
