HomeMy Public PortalAboutTask Order 2022-01 - Wingard Property Infiltration SystemTASK ORDER 2022 - 01 THIS TASK ORDER IS ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTINUING SERVICES CONTRACT DATED MAY 3, 2021(AGREEMENT), FOR THE CITY OF CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, WITH RESPECT TO Professional Engineering and Consulting Services for Site -Specific Field Studies for a Wingard Property Infiltration System Article A. Purpose The City of Crestview (CLIENT) has seen significant population growth in recent years and that growth has created the need to expand and build new residential communities. This growth has led to an increase in influent flow at the Crestview Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In addition, planned expansion of the SR 85 bypass road and future East-West corridor will be constructed on the existing effluent spray field thus reducing overall effluent disposal capacity at the WWTP. As part of the Phase IV WWTP Expansion and RIBS project, CH2M HILL designed the current RIBS site (5 RIBs with 0.63 million gallons per day (mgd) permitted capacity) to be expanded by the construction of RIB No. 6 as required by area growth, influent flows and property acquisition. The existing RIB system was put into service in July 2014. However, the City was not able to acquire the land parcel on which RIB No. 6 was to be constructed. Jacobs will be initiating afield study on the existing RIB site, under a separate task order, to collect additional data to support a substantial modification of the current operating permit to increase the permitted disposal capacity of the RIB system. The CLIENT has identified a parcel of land located northeast of the WWTP site (Wingard property) as another potential reuse disposal site. The construction of RIBS and/or infiltration wetlands on the Wingard property is required to meet the CLIENT's rapidly growing wastewater disposal requirements. The purpose of Task Order 2022-01 is to authorize and direct Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) to proceed with the professional engineering and consulting services for site - specific evaluations for the planning phase of a new infiltration system on the Wingard property. Article B. Scope of Services: Project Understanding A forested, vacant land parcel adjacent to the Crestview WWTP (Wingard property) has been identified as a potential site for an infiltration system. See Figure 1 for the location and boundaries of the parcel to be evaluated. The Wingard parcel is 48.7 acres in size and is similar (topography and soil types) to the City's existing RIB site located south of the Wingard parcel. Jacobs has performed a preliminary desktop analysis and groundwater modeling of this site to determine its potential suitability and effluent disposal capacity prior to recommending its purchase. Based on this preliminary evaluation, the City purchased the property and is requesting Jacobs to provide professional services for further planning phase evaluations for an infiltration system on the site. FIGURE 1 This project will include site -specific field investigations of the parcel, including a survey of land -use, surface waters, near -surface soils, hydrogeologic conditions; and endangered species. A conceptual design detailing a conceptual site plan of the proposed infiltration basin design will also be prepared. The scope of services provided with this task order is outlined in detail below. Task 1— Threatened & Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Jacobs will conduct a field investigation to evaluate the habitat potential for threatened and endangered (T&E) species. Specific subtasks performed for this effort include: Review existing data from State and Federal agencies regarding ME species. Specifically, the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) online database search will be conducted to compile available information on known occurrences and potential habitat for ME species that may frequent the area. Conduct ME field investigations with one team of two Jacobs biologists for up to two days. The site will be assessed for the presence of ME species and habitat will be qualitatively assessed. • Prepare a TM presenting the findings from the agency information and field survey. This memorandum will include a discussion of recommendations for agency coordination, list of permitting requirements, and determination of species -specific surveys that may be required if potentially suitable habitat is identified during the field investigations. Task 2 - Field Investigations Site -specific field investigations will be required to obtain the data needed to evaluate site suitability, capacity, design requirements, and potential impacts of an infiltration system. The objective of the field investigation, which will be completed as part of this task, is to assess the general lithology and depths of hydrogeologic layers, install temporary groundwater monitoring wells and piezometers, and survey the project site. Hydraulic load testing, water sampling and modeling will be performed under a separate task order. This information will be used to evaluate a stand-alone RIB system within the Wingard parcel. Refer to Figure 2 for the type and proposed locations of borings, monitoring wells, piezometers and hydraulic testing discussed below. 2.1 Exploratory Borings Up to 13 exploratory borings will be advanced using sonic drilling techniques. In addition, two,1- inch WTS shallow stilling wells will be installed by jetting or hand auger methods. One exploratory boring will be advanced to the base of the surficial aquifer (estimated to be at EL 115 or 105 feet deep assuming a ground EL of 220 feet). The maximum depth of the exploratory boring is assumed to be 120 feet. One additional exploratory boring will be advanced through the hydrogeologic layers of interest (up to approximately 100 feet), the remaining exploratory borings will be advanced to depths suitable for groundwater elevation monitoring and slug testing. Continuous lithologic cores will be collected during the sonic drilling to the total depth of the borings. Representative lithologic samples will be sent to a geotechnical laboratory, subcontracted by the driller, to perform grain size analysis and Atterberg limits. A Jacobs geologist will describe the lithologic cores and compile well construction diagrams. The objectives of the sonic borings will be: • Identify the elevations at which the uppermost significant restrictive layer (aquitard) occurs. • Install monitoring wells/piezometers across the water table in order to map its elevation. • Investigate hydraulic properties and lithology of potentially restrictive layers. • Install monitoring wells/temporarily piezometers within potentially restrictive layers in order to conduct hydrogeologic testing (i.e., slug tests) and to observe the responses of one, 10-day loading test. 2.2 Monitoring Well and Piezometer Installation Once drilling has reached the target depth, 2-inch diameter groundwater monitoring wells will be constructed in the boreholes. At least two of the monitoring wells will be installed as nests with screened intervals set to monitor different hydrogeologic layers. These nested wells will be used to determine aquifer/aquitard properties and to define vertical hydraulic gradients at the site. Three series of wells will be constructed as follows: o Wingard Temporary Basin (WTB): 7, 2-inch diameter WTB Wells (1 nested — center of the temporary loading basin) 7 groundwater monitoring points (estimated depths approximately 50-70 feet bls) o Wingard Temporary Groundwater (WTG): 6, 2-inch diameter WTG Wells (one nested location) 6 groundwater monitoring points (estimated depths approximately 50 — 70 feet bls) o Wingard Temporary Stilling (WTS): 2, 1-inch diameter WTS Wells 2 Surface water monitoring points, could convert to deeper groundwater monitoring points if inundated land surface does not exist at location (estimated depths approximately 5 — 20 feet bls), due to equipment access issues, the WTS wells will be installed using jetting or other hand installation methods.

Wingard infiltration System Field Investigation a s^-u s3o a *aaa it City Of Crestview WWTF FL -- IL .yaCo s Figure 2 In addition to the wells and stilling basins, A site survey will be conducted to determine the horizontal coordinates and measuring point elevations (top of casing) at each installed piezometer and observation well. Additionally, surveying will record the land surface elevation at each measuring point. Surveying will be conducted by a Florida -licensed surveyor. Based on the unknown condition of the prospective investigation site, access and condition of the site could potentially have a cost impact on the time needed to complete survey activities. Task 3 -- Conceptual Design TM Jacobs will prepare a characterization of current and projected reclaimed water flow and quality information for the Crestview WWTP. This information will include a process flow diagram for the WWTP and infiltration system, projected wastewater flows for the design period, peaking factors, and reclaimed water quality. A conceptual site plan showing transmission piping and infiltration system facilities such as basins, roads, distribution piping, buffer zones, and other miscellaneous facilities such as communications and controls will be developed. The site plan and the detailed basis of design will be presented within a Conceptual Design TM Deliverables Jacobs will provide the following deliverables as a result of this Task Order: a Threatened and Endangered Species Survey Technical Memorandum e Conceptual Design TM Assumptions and Specific Conditions The following assumptions have been taken into consideration in the preparation of this Scope of Services and compensation.
