Exhibit A
Land Application Water -Nitrogen Balance Modeling
Scope of Services
Background
The City must continuously monitor soil conditions and crop efficiencies at the Lubbock Land
Application Site (LLAS) and Hancock Land Application Site (HLAS) to ensure that the City is in
compliance with the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant's (SEWRP) wastewater discharge permit
authorized by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Treated wastewater irrigation
optimization requires agronomy and engineering consulting services to monitor site conditions and
periodically update water and nitrogen balance models related to land application activities.
This scope of services provides water/nitrogen balance modeling, including an annual model update and
site visits to verify that conditions at LLAS and HLAS are consistent with Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requirements. The model assists staff in ensuring that the land application
activities do not add additional nitrates to the groundwater. Additionally, the model provides
recommendations on crop rotation schedules to ensure that the high nitrate effluent water is balanced with
the crops' ability to use the nitrates in the water, preventing them from filtering down through the soils
into the groundwater.
Project Scope of Work
The project scope of work includes the accomplishing the tasks as detailed below.
Task 1: Water / Nitrogen Balance Modeling and Reporting
This task consists of providing services associated with the Water and Nitrogen balance modeling and
reporting activities.
Task 1.1 Weekly Activities
Weekly water and nitrogen application report shall be based on the output of the water and nitrogen
balance model and include:
A. Significant non -routine issues requiring attention
• Reservoir levels for that week
• Pumping summaries from W WTF
• Pumping summaries to plots and outfalls
• Available storage in reservoirs
• Recommended applications to plots during the upcoming week reported in gallons and inches
including special notes as required
B. Data table updates to model, including effluent data updates and land application spreadsheets
C. Weekly Summary Report shall include:
• Summary of applications for the previous week including recommended and actual
applications, difference in application rates, planned annual PAN application (pounds of N
Land Application Water -Nitrogen Balance Modeling Page 11 of 15
per acre), year to date PAN application (pound of N per acre and percent of planned), and
special notes and explanations for differences over 0.5 inches of irrigation
• Significant non -routine issues requiring attention
Task 1.2 Quarterly Activities
A. Update of soil data in model — during the year the City of Lubbock will provide updated soil
analysis results. These results will be incorporated into the model.
B. Crop information updates — approximately quarterly the City will provide updated crop
information (crop location, condition, and harvest) to the contractor, these updates will be
incorporated into the model.
C. GIS updates and deliver of updated shapefiles and other date to the City.
D. The contractor's project manager will prepare a brief quarterly report. The project manager will
contact, by phone, the technical representative to briefly discuss the quarterly report. The report
should be approximately 1 to 2 pages and cover:
• Needs from the client
• Upcoming deliverables to clientlothers
• Completed & upcoming milestones, events, and meetings
• Outstanding issues
Task 1.3 Annual Activities
A. Annual model update and preparation (September) — each year the contractor will completely
update and prepare the model for use during the upcoming year. The revised model upcoming
year and the completed and closed -out model for the previous year will be provided in electronic
format to the technical representative.
B. Annual model projections by month -- each year the contractor will use the updated model, using
historical average precipitation, the latest soil samples, effluent analyses for the previous year and
projected flows from the SEWRP, to provide a snapshot of the projected applications needed for
each plot on a monthly basis
Task 2 Model Simulations for Management Chances
Full rerun/update of model — during the year it is expected that the City will require a full scale rerun or
update to the model, either to simulate proposed management changes or reflect actual management
changes. This is expected to be required approximately four times per year.
Task 3 Site Visits
Under this task, AWT will visit the land application sites at designated times to make observations and
collect data relative to the water and nitrogen model updates.
Task 3.1 Winter Site Visit — Verify Site Conditions
For this subtask, the agronomist will visit the land application sites to verify model parameters during the
winter. The contractor will schedule the site visits by an agronomist (one accompanied by engineer)
through the technical representative. During this site visit the contractor's agronomist will verify that
conditions at LLAS and HLAS are consistent with the model parameters being used for weekly
Land Application Water -Nitrogen Balance Modeling Page 12 of 15
recommendations. The agronomist will prepare a site visit report. The contractor will develop a report
providing notes from the visit and identifying any issues requiring attention.
Task 3.2 Summer Site Visit —Verify Site Conditions & SAR Inspection
This subtask will consists of two parts:
A. The agronomist will visit the land application sites to verify model parameters during the
summer. The contractor will schedule the site visits by an agronomist (one accompanied by
engineer) through the technical representative. During this site visit the contractor's agronomist
will verify that conditions at LLAS and HLAS are consistent with the model parameters being
used for weekly recommendations. The agronomist will prepare a site visit report. The
contractor will develop a report providing notes from the visit and identifying any issues
requiring attention.
B. In addition, a Hancock Land Application Site Soil Absorption Ration (SAR) inspection and report
(during a semi-annual site visit) — during one of the semi-annual site visits described above, the
contractor's agronomist will evaluate soil profiles in 3-6 fields at HLAS for evidence of
infiltration problems associated with high sodium adsorption ratios.
Task 4 LLAS Recharge Estimates
LLAS recharge estimate (spring) — the contractor will prepare an estimate of the leached effluent and
excess N applied at the LLAS for the previous year. This estimate will be based on actual application
records, effluent analyses and weather data. The contractor will prepare a projection of similar
information for the current year and the next 4 years.
Task 5 Land Application Services
This task consists of additional land application services that may be necessary to meet TCEQ compliance
activities such as additional model simulations, site visits, recharge estimates, or any other related activity
within the scope of services provided. These activities will not be performed without written
authorization by the City.

Budget
CITY and ENGINEER have established a not -to -exceed fee of $339,670 to complete services under this
Contract, as shown below by major task. This amount will not be exceeded without a contract
amendment. Fees will be billed as a lump sum amount per Unit performed for Tasks 1 through 4. If Task
5 activities are authorized by the City in writing, these services will be billed based on the Rate Schedule
