EXHIBIT A
AQUIFER STORAGE & RECOVERY EVALUATION
SCOPE OF WORK
The HDR Team will perform the professional engineering services described in this Scope of Work.
The HDR Team includes:
• HDR Engineering, Inc (HDR);
• ARCADIS-US, Inc;
• INTERA, Inc; and
• ASR Systems, LLC.
Services include the evaluation of the feasibility of an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) system
for the City of Lubbock (City).
Background
The HDR Team will provide a preliminary feasibility -level evaluation of an aquifer storage and
recovery (ASR) project to provide more information regarding this option for a future update of the
City's Strategic Water Supply Plan. This assessment will expand on the two potential ASR
strategies that were included in the 2013 Strategic Water Supply Plan. This project will allow the
City to perform due diligence and necessary planning to further evaluate the feasibility for ASR to
supplement the City's existing and future water supplies.
Organization of Scope of Work
Under this Scope of Work, the HDR Team will perform two primary tasks to evaluate the
conceptual feasibility of one or more ASR systems for the City. An optional third task is presented
for consideration. These tasks include:
Task 1: Review the City's current Strategic Water Supply Plan, generally characterize the
hydrogeologic features of potential storage locations within the Ogallala, Trinity, and/or Dockum
Aquifers, and groundwater pumping in the vicinity of Lubbock; and assess the potential permitting,
institutional and regulatory issues of an ASR system.
Task 2: Identify and screen candidate ASR options, complete preliminary feasibility level studies
for the most potentially favorable projects, and select up to three of the most promising ASR
projects for further feasibility analyses.
Task 3 (future — not included in this scope of work): Prepare feasibility level operational plans,
engineering, and cost evaluations of up to three of the most promising ASR projects.
Aquifer Storage & Recovery Evaluation Page 13 of 19
Task 1. Review of System and Hydrogeologic Study
Specific subtasks associated with this effort are as follows.
Task 1.1 Review of City's Current Strategic Water Supply Plan
The HDR Team will review the City's current Strategic Water Supply Plan and identify the
strategies most relevant to the ASR evaluation, including reclaimed water supplies. During this
review, HDR Team anticipates formulating new ASR concepts and developing variations to those
conceptual -level projects included in the City's Strategic Water Supply Plan.
The City's water sources and facilities for transporting, treating and delivering treated water to
customers will be reviewed and assessed for potential application to ASR projects. The HDR Team
has an understanding of the City's water sources and will hold discussions with City staff to verify
any changes or future plans of the City and to further understand the facilities that move raw water
to the City's treatment facilities and then to the distribution system. The HDR Team will compile
and summarize source water and water delivery data for the past several years into statistical
summaries of monthly and peak flow rates and the effects of dry and wet years on the City. In
addition, the HDR Team will compile and summarize existing water chemistry data for raw and
treated water. These data will be used for a preliminary evaluation of the water compatibility within
the target ASR aquifers and the City's distribution system.
Task 1.2 Characterization of the Hydrogeologic Features of the Ogallala Aquifer and
Groundwater Pumping in the Vicinity of Lubbock
A member of the HDR Team is currently developing an update to the Southern High Plains GAM
and will take the lead in characterizing the aquifer properties, aquifer conditions and groundwater
pumping in the vicinity of Lubbock. The HDR Team will also utilize groundwater data in the
vicinity of Yellow House Canyon that was made available to HDR in the recently completed
hydrogeologic evaluation centered on the area around the proposed Lake 7. The HDR Team will
compile data on aquifer water chemistry and geochemistry in potential ASR storage areas within the
Ogallala, Trinity, and/or Dockum Aquifers in the Lubbock area.
Task 1.3 Assessment of Regulatory, Permitting and Institutional Issues
The HDR Team will identify and assess potential permitting, institutional and regulatory
considerations related to ASR projects, with specific emphasis given to the High Plains
Underground Water Conservation District and TCEQ. In addition, the team will address and
discuss the potential of nearby landowners capturing and using ASR water stored by the City.
Aquifer Storage & Recovery Evaluation Page 14 of 19
Task 2. Selection of Potential ASR Protects
Guided by the results from Task 1, the HDR Team will complete a screening of potential ASR
projects.
Task 2.1 Screening and Selection of Candidate ASR Projects
The selection process will include an ASR workshop of the HDR Team and City staff (Workshop).
The Workshop consists of a presentation by the HDR Team on ASR concepts and successful
designs, and a discussion of the City's interests, objectives and concepts. The HDR Team will
engage in an interactive, collaborative process to formulate conceptual ASR projects and potential
storage locations that may be worthy of consideration for further study and review.
Building on information from Task 1 and the Workshop, the HDR Team will formulate up tol0
conceptual ASR projects. The selection of these projects will be based on considerations such as
diversity of water sources, utilization of existing water treatment and distribution facilities, and
other issues such as potential interference with existing well owners. A rating matrix comparing
attributes for each of the potential ASR projects will be developed. For each attribute in the matrix,
a numerical rating (such as, 0 to 10) will be assigned by Team members using professional
judgment (qualitative) as to the favorability of the project related to the given attribute, weighted (if
deemed necessary), and summarized. This list of potential projects and ratings will be presented to
the City for its review. A conference call or webinar by the HDR Team and City staff will be
scheduled to discuss the ranking of the list of potential ASR projects. The result is expected to be
the selection of up to three projects for a reconnaissance level review.
Task 2.2 Reconnaissance Level Review of the Potentially Favorable Projects
For each of the prioritized ASR projects, the HDR Team will prepare a more detailed assessment
based on factors, such as:
a) The availability and constraints (daily, monthly, and annual) on water supplies;
b) Aquifer suitability for injection and recovery, potential injection and recovery rates,
magnitude of storage, potential migration of stored water, and potential geochemical
reactions between the aquifer materials and injected water, and between native groundwater
and injected water;
c) Potential interference from local pumping;
d) Proximity to City's existing and currently -proposed water infrastructure;
e) Utilization of existing water treatment facilities and infrastructure;
f) Pre- and post -water treatment requirements for stored water, if needed;
g) Permitting and regulatory considerations; and
Aquifer Storage & Recovery Evaluation Page 15 of 19
h) Operational flexibility for either long-term water banking or seasonal (storage in winter and
spring with recovery during summer) storage.
In this reconnaissance level review (Task 2.2), no conceptual designs or cost estimates will be
prepared.
Task 2.3 Expand Rating Analysis of Three of the Most Promising ASR Projects
The HDR Team will expand the matrix rating system used earlier to select the ASR projects for
further evaluation. A conceptual layout and planning -level cost estimate will be developed for each
of these ASR projects using the Texas Water Development Board costing methodology used in the
regional water planning process. Review and input from City officials will be sought in the early
stages. As directed by the City, the HDR Team will summarize and format the findings as needed
to assist the City in updating the City's Strategic Water Supply Plan.
Task 2.4 Preparation of Project Report
A project report will be prepared and will include:
• Background information compiled from the review tasks;
• Selection and feasibility -level evaluation of potential ASR projects; and
• Recommendations for future feasibility assessment of the most promising projects.
An electronic (PDF) draft of the report will be presented to the City for review. The HDR team will
respond to the comments and suggestions and prepare a final report within three weeks of receiving
the City's comments. The final report will be delivered in electronic (PDF) format with five (5)
hard copies.
Task 2.5 Presentation of Findings to the LWAC
The final results of the preliminary feasibility ASR assessment will be presented to the Lubbock
Water Advisory Commission (LWAC), when requested by the City. A PowerPoint presentation of
the findings and conclusions of the work effort will be prepared. This presentation will be reviewed
with City staff prior to presentation to the LWAC. This scope of work anticipates that two
members of the HDR Team will attend the presentation in Lubbock and be available to answer
questions. Deliverables include a PowerPoint presentation and associated boards and visual aids,
including handout packages for the LWAC.
Aquifer Storage & Recovery Evaluation Page 16 of 19
Task 3 (future — not included in this scone of work) Detailed Evaluation of the Most
Promising ASR Proiects
1.1. Task 3.1 Development of Up to Three Optimized ASR Projects
The ASR projects described in Task 2.3 are considered to be preliminarily feasible. If the City
wishes to evaluate the feasibility of one or more of these projects in more detail, the next level of
evaluation is to assess the feasibility of the projects with regard to:
a) Operation of seasonal water banking and long-term storage;
b) Water treatment;
c) Integration and optimizing with the City's existing and currently -planned infrastructure;
d) Detailed evaluation of potential interference with or by existing wells;
e) Conceptual design of the selected projects; and
fl Cost (capital and O&M).
As with the subtasks above, this optimizing effort requires adapting and applying existing water
models for water transmission, water treatment, ASR well field operations, and well interference
among ASR wells and with neighboring wells. It is expected that each of the projects would be
documented separately as a stand-alone project. Comparisons between the projects would be made
in a summary chapter. If this step is requested by the City, then the groundwork will have been laid
in Phase 2. Given the unknowns regarding the projects that would be selected for a detailed
evaluation, no fee estimate can be developed for this task until more is known about the specific
projects and the data and analyses required for the detailed evaluation.
Task 3 is not included in this scope of work.
Schedule for Proiect Deliverables
The following schedule for project deliverables assumes that notice to proceed is obtained in
writing from the City of Lubbock on or before August 15, 2014. If notice to proceed is obtained
later, the schedule for deliverables will be adjusted accordingly.
