Exhibit A
Strategic Water Supply Plan Update
Scope of Services
Background
In 2013, HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) assisted the City of Lubbock (the City) in developing the
City's 2013 Strategic Water Supply Plan (SWSP). HDR assisted the City in updating the SWSP
in 2018 and has been asked to assist the City in developing the 2023 SWSP. The SWSP contains
projections of population and water demands for a 100-year planning horizon, analyses of
currently available supplies, and evaluations of a wide range of water supply alternatives to meet
future water supply shortages. As no single supply alternative is capable of meeting the City's
future water supply needs, the 2018 SWSP identified different combinations of supply alternatives,
or "packages", each intending to meet future water supply needs from different perspectives.
Scope of Services
HDR will update the 2018 SWSP to develop the 2023 SWSP. Water demand projections and
analysis of water needs will be completed similarly to previous efforts. This update will also
include additional detail in the evaluations of some current supplies and water supply strategies
than was completed for the 2018 SWSP. This additional detail is intended to support development
of a Purpose and Need (P&N) statement related to the potential development of the proposed Lake
7.
Task 1: Project Management.
a. HDR will provide project management activities under this task, including coordination,
scheduling, budgeting, and accounting.
Assumptions:
a. One Kickoff Meeting will be held to discuss project scope, schedule, goals, roles, data
needs and communication procedures. This meeting will be up to two hours, attended by
HDR's project manager and other team members as necessary, and held through a virtual
platform.
Deliverables:
a. Kickoff meeting agenda, materials, and notes.
b. Monthly progress reports to accompany monthly invoices.
Schedule:
a. Ongoing through project completion.
b. Kickoff meeting to be held within two weeks of Notice to Proceed (NTP).
Strategic Water Supply Plan Update Page 12 of 23
Task 2: Update Introduction.
a. The City will be responsible for updating Chapter 1 Introduction from the 2018 SWSP and
will provide draft text and figures to HDR.
b. HDR will provide editorial review of the text and figures provided by the City and will
format and incorporate the information provided by the City into the draft and final 2023
SWSP.
Information to be Provided by the City:
a. The City will provide updated text and figures for Chapter 1 Introduction.
Assumptions:
a. The City will provide text and figures in formats compatible with MS Office.
Deliverable:
a. Edited and formatted Introduction section in the draft and final 2023 SWSP.
Schedule:
a. The City will provide the draft text and figures to HDR no later than 9 months following
NTP.
b. Report text and graphics to be completed concurrently with the draft 2023 SWSP.
Task 3: Water Demand Projections.

Task 3.1. Population Projections.
a. HDR will acquire annual population estimates (2011— 2022) for the City and its customers
from the U.S. Census Bureau, including the 2020 U.S. Census determinations, and will
acquire the population projections for the City and its customers anticipated to be used to
develop the 2026 Llano Estacado (Region O) Regional Water Plan. HDR also will acquire
population estimates for the City from the City's Planning Department.
b. Using the aforementioned data and 2000 and 2010 census data, HDR will develop
projections of future population for the City and its customers through year 2123. HDR
anticipates developing two separate projections — Expected Growth and Accelerated
Growth, consistent with those developed for the 2018 SWSP.
c. HDR will summarize the population projections and assist the City in coordinating with
the Llano Estacado Regional Water Planning Group so that the projections utilized for the
2026 Llano Estacado Regional Water Plan are consistent with the City's growth
projections.
d. Following development of draft population projections, HDR will lead a meeting with the
City to discuss the projections and any modifications the City may request.
Strategic Water Supply Plan Update Page 13 of 23
Task 3.2. Per Capita Consumption.
a. HDR will utilize production data provided by the City to estimate per capita consumption
for years 2010 — 2022.
b. These data will be utilized to project per capita consumption through year 2123. The City's
recent water conservation efforts will be considered in developing near -term and long-term
projections of per -capita consumption.
c. HDR will coordinate with the City to develop updated consumption projections that are
consistent with recent experience and the City's long-term conservation goals.
Task 3.3. Annual Water Demand Projections.
a. HDR will utilize the projected population and per -capita consumption to develop two
alternative annual water demand projections — Expected Water Demands and Accelerated
Water Demands — using a single set of projected per capita consumption projections.
b. HDR will coordinate with the City to identify two additional scenarios reflecting new
demands from potential additional industrial and/or wholesale water customers. These two
scenarios will be added to the Expected Water Demands and Accelerated Water Demands
projections to demonstrate the impact of potential additional industrial and/or wholesale
water customers on the water demand projections.
Task 3.4. Maximum -Day Water Demand Projections.
a. HDR will utilize the production data obtained under Task 3.2 to estimate the City's ratio
of maximum -day to average -day water use (max -day ratio).
b. HDR will coordinate with the City regarding how the City's continuing water conservation
efforts are expected to influence the max -day ratio and project future max -day ratios
through year 2123.
c. HDR will apply the projected max -day ratios to the annual water demands projected under
Task 3.3 to project maximum -day demands through year 2123.
Task 3.5. Update Appendix A.
a. HDR will update Appendix A of the 2018 SWSP with the new information developed in
this task to be included in comparable appendix of the 2023 SWSP.
Assumptions:
a. Population projections to be used for the 2026 Llano Estacado Regional Water Plan will
be made available within 2 months of NTP.
b. All water production, consumptions, etc., data will be provided in Excel formatted digital
documents.
Deliverables:
a. Excel spreadsheet containing the population and water demand projections.
Strategic Water Supply Plan Update Page 14 of 23
b. HDR will lead a meeting with the City to discuss and fmalize the water demand projections.
Schedule:
a. The meeting to review the draft population projections to be held within 5 weeks of NTP.
b. Coordination with the Llano Estacado Regional Water Planning Group regarding the draft
population projections will be accomplished through a schedule to be determined.
c. The meeting to review the water demand projections to be held within 8 weeks of NTP.
Information to be Provided by the City:
a. Population estimates from the City Planning Department.
b. Last 5 years daily production data from the City's Bailey County Wellfield, South Water
Treatment Plant (SWTP), and North Water Treatment Plant (NWTP).
c. Last 5 years daily sales to wholesale water customers.
d. Last 5 years monthly billing to retail and wholesale customers.

monthly to a daily basis over the period of record available.
b. HDR will utilize the updated Riverware model to determine the 2-year safe yield of Lake
Alan Henry.
c. To account for potential impacts of climate variation, HDR will develop a set of hydrologic
data reflecting historical flows and net evaporation rates adjusted to reflect a future climate
scenario to be selected in coordination with the City. HDR will use these updated
hydrology data and the Riverware model to determine the safe yield of Lake Alan Henry
under these projected future climatic conditions.
Task 4.2. Bailey County Wellfield.
