CONSULTANT shall manage the development of the DCP that uses, as the basis for its development,
the information and data contained in the 2007 Arbennie Pritchett WRF D/B Project Design Criteria
Package. The DCP shall , ata minimum, contain the information identified in 1.3.3 and the following:
A detailed description of the project including technical requirements and specifications, functional
and operational elements, process requirements, redundancy requirements, stipulations regarding
expandability, acceptance tests, performance guarantees, liquidated damages and enforcement
provisions.
Procurement instructions, including form requirements, due dates, proposal layout requirements,
and proposal forms.
The DCP documents and the RFP documents will be submitted simultaneously to the short-listed
firms for preparation of their final proposal.
DCP shall refine the CLIENT’S preferred risk posture for the D/B solicitation process; identifying key
commercial and legal issues necessary to develop an updated Service Agreement; and conduct
strategy and other work sessions to provide the framework for development and implementation of
the PROJECT. An important part of the DCP development will be to update the risk matrix that
describes various project financial, schedule, permitting, and performance, legal, technical, operation
and regulatory risks.
The draft DCP will be submitted to the CLIENT for review. Upon receipt of consolidated comments,
a review meeting will be held to discuss the comments.
A draft of the DCP and service agreement may be issued to the short-listed D/B Teams to solicit and
receive their feedback.
Following receipt of comments to the DCP, a second review meeting may be held with the CLIENT.
Based on the results of these meetings, the CONSULTANT will prepare the DCP for final issuance to
short-listed firms.

The DCP will be responsible for the development of the draft Service Agreement that uses, as the
basis for its development, the information and data contained in the 2007 Arbennie Pritchett WRF
D/B Project Service Agreement.
The Service Agreement shall address technical, financial, and contractual business matters.
The draft Service Agreement will be issued either with the DCP or as a supplement to the DCP.
2.3 Draft Equipment Specifications and Preliminary Drawings
CONSULTANT shall be responsible for the development of the draft equipment specifications for key
equipment items. The specifications will be developed based on the equipment and materials that were
supplied during the 2007 plant construction project.
2.3.1
2.3.2
2.3.3
A complete specification package will not be prepared, but key design criteria will be summarized.
Copies of submittal information and record drawings of the existing facilities will be provided as an
attachment to the DCP for use by the D/B Teams in preparing their individual bids.
It is anticipated that 25 preliminary design drawings, primarily associated with modifications to the
existing electrical and instrumentation and control systems, will be developed to visually depict the
key performance criteria that are described within the narrative portion of the DCP.

personnel as part of the DCP development. Based on results of the design workshops the actual
number of drawings needed for each plant process area will be refined as appropriate.

2.5 Opinion of Probable Order of Magnitude Costs
2.5.1 Prior to completing the development of the DCP document, CONSULTANT will prepare a revised
Opinion of Probable Order of Magnitude Cost for the PROJECT as an economic benchmark for the
PROJECT. The estimates of project costs provided by the CONSULTANT will be made on the basis
of information available to the CONSULTANT, prior cost proposals for the 2007 WRF construction
project, and CONSULTANT'S past experience. Since CONSULTANT has no control over the cost of
labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by others, the Proposers’ methods of determining
prices, competitive bidding and market conditions, and future economic and unforeseen conditions,
there will be no guarantee or warranty that future costs will not vary from estimates and projections.
2.5.2 After completing the development of the DCP document, CONSULTANT will prepare a revised
Opinion of Probable Order of Magnitude Cost for the PROJECT as an economic benchmark for the
PROJECT against CONSULTANT’s draft Opinion of Probable Cost.
2.5.3. Copies of the estimates will be submitted to the CLIENT
2.6 FDEP Permitting Assistance
CONSULTANT shall coordinate with the CLIENT and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) to complete and submit to FDEP the necessary documents to apply for a revised permit for the
components of the PROJECT. Permitting of the expanded WRF is complicated by the fact that since this
project will be contracted using the design/ build approach, there will not be the traditional complete set of
plans and specifications available for agency review which complicates the regulatory review process. The
CLIENT and the CONSULTANT will need to work closely with FDEP and other regulators to agree upon the
review procedures to be used and to implement the review process. Specific services that the CONSULTANT
shall perform include the following services:
2.6.1 Agency Coordination Workshops
CONSULTANT shall coordinate and attend coordination workshops with FDEP and other permitting
agencies. The purpose of the workshops will be to develop an understanding of the specific regulatory
requirements and the review procedures to be used to implement the PROJECT. CONSULTANT shall
conduct coordination meetings with the various divisions within FDEP providing permitting execution and
plan review functions.
2.6.2 Permitting Application.
CONSULTANT will collect the necessary information and data to prepare a permit to expand the capacity of
the WRF from 10 mgd to 15 mgd. Specific work tasks may include:
2.6.2.1 Obtain historical water quality and operational data required to be presented in the application
document.
2.6.2.2 Prepare a PDR and permit application forms to expand the capacity of the WRF from 10 mgd to 15
med; including applications forms, Form 1 and 2A, as required by Chapter 62-620, F.A.C.
2.6.2.3 Prepare an updated site plan and process flow diagram.
2.6.2.4 Review, develop and prepare necessary documentation to accompany the application for permit
renewal as required by FDEP regulations and guidelines.
2.6.2.5 Attend meetings as requested by representatives of the CLIENT and provide general engineering
assistance, consultation, and opinions.
2.6.2.6 Coordinate review of the draft permit application package with CLIENT staff and adjudicate
comments received.
2.6.2.7 Submit the application and accompanying documents to FDEP. (Applications Fees are not included
in this scope)
