Upon RollCall it Anoeared the motion was unanimously carried. The City Attorney was instructed to give an opinion regarding this matter. 1 Earl Reynolds Jr, representing Cornell, Howland, Hayes Merryfield made the following nronosal i Ifor engineering investigation of the City of Caldwell 'Water Systems Honorable Mayor and City Council Record No.08 City of Caldwell Re: Proeosal for Engineering Idaho Investigation of Water System Gentlemens In accordance with a telephone discussion with your City Engineer, Mr. Lewis, on July 13, we are pleased to submit herewith for your consideration a proposal for conducting an engineering investigation for the purpose of establishing a comprehensive long -range master plan for improvement and exten- sion of your water system. Based upon a preliminary examination of your water system and review of its operation with Mr. Lewis in 1957, it appears probable that the expansion of your distribution system is the major consideration in planning for increased demands of water resulting from growth of the City. Although other sources of supply appear possible, it is apparent from performance of existing ` wells that an adequate supply of water for future expansion may be found in additional wells spaced at strategic locations throughout the distri- bution system. In view of the fact that the capacity of the distribution system is closely dependent upon the size and location of well supplies, and upon capacity and location of storage, it is, in our opinion, necessary to consider all elements of the water system jointly in order to intelligently plan future expansion of the system. Accordingly, we believe it would be in the City's best interest to undertake a comprehensive study of your entire water system, including the supply, storage, and distribution elements. In general, it would be the purpose of this investigation to. 1. Establish the capabilities of the existing water system. I i 2. Establish the probable future demands which will be imposed upon the system. 3. Study improvements which may he necessary to meet present and expected future demands. !. Investigate methods of financing required improvements. From such an investigation would be developed a long -range master plan for water system development on the basis of which system improvements could.be made in increments as the City develops. It is anticipated that such a master plan could serve as a basis for orderly system improvements for the next twenty or thirty year period. Studies would be made of the most feasible means for supplying irrigation demands as the City develops, particularly with reference to the feasibility of further expansion of your existing gravity irrigation system. The study would include investigations of alternate plans which may appear feasible, study of construction and operating costs, and a financial analysis from which would be developed a schedule of revenues necessary to finance operation and future improvements of your system. In order to properly accomplish the purposes of this investigation as outlined above, we believe it will be necessary to include in the study the following servicess 1. Assemble aid analyze all available data concerning the physical description, location, and capabilities of existing pipelines, supply sources, reservoirs, and other physical facilities of your water system. 2. Obtain addtional data concerning your existing facilities which may be necessary to properly determine the condition and capabilities of these facilities. This would include sufficient investigations to determine condition and to verify size and location of your principal physical facilities. 3. Supervise and assist City personnel in obtaining necessary records of the system, including master meter records, individual consumers' meter records, consumption date, operating costs, and other miscellaneous information. !t. Investigate the present supply sources and reservoir system to determine the quantity of water the present facilities will produce, and study improvements which may be possible to improve the utilization of these present facilities. $. 5tudy the characteristics of domestic and industrial water consumption in the City as a basis for establishing a reasonable estimate of expected future demands. 6. In cooperation with the City Council or such planning agency as you may designate, study the future pattern of growth which may be expected within and adjacent to the present City limits. On the basis of this study, estab- lish the future requirements which will be imposed upon the water system. T. Investigate the possible sources of additional water supplies. This investigation would be directed principally toward the type, size and location of additional deep well supplies, but would also include investigations of other sources of supply which appear possible. Studies would be made of the feasibility of a single source of supply for both domestic and irrigation uses as compared with expansion of the present dual system arrangement in operation in the City. Studies of the dis- tribution system involving use of wells would necessarily have to proceed simultaneously with studies of the distri- bution system, since the capabilities and locations of the points of supply .:materially affect the requirements of the distribution system. B. Analyze the capabilities of the existing distribution system under conditions of maximum domestic demand and under fire demand conditions. This analysis would be made by the method of "Analysis of Few in Networks of Conduits or Conductors" develope by Professor Hardy Cross, utilizing the I.B.M. electronic computer. This analysis would establish the weaknesses, if any, in the existing distribution system. 9. Design expansions to the distribution sypstem, again using the Cross method of analysis and the I.B.M. computer. r �c -- T ' These necessary expansions and extensions of the existing system would be integrated into a long -range master plan for distribution system expansion. This master plan would provide a basis for construction of additional pipelines as the City develops, assuring orderly and economical development of the system. II I' 10. Investigate the storage requirements of the system in i connection with the development of sources of supply which may be required to meet present and future demands. 11. Prepare an overall master plan for development of all segments of your water system. This overall master plan would include a cost analysis which would indicate the estimated construction cost for each stop n the expansion P xP program. I II 12.Prepare a study of annual costs for the necessary Ij improvements, analyze revenue requirements, and develop a schedule of water rates required to finance crater system - operation and expansion. € 13. Present the findings of this investigation in a bound III report complete with necessary maps, charts, cost I� 'i analyses, supporting data, and recommendations. U. Present the report to the City Council in person. Appear 1 1 before public meetings if requested by the City Council 2 for the purpose of acquainting the public with improve - o ments which may be proposed as a result of the investigation. Following a discussion of this investigation with Mr. Lewis, it is apparent that City forces may be of considerable assistance to us in collecting data which will be necessary as a basis for this investigation. Accordingly, this proposal is be- ing prepared on the assumption that the City would be able to provide the following- 1. Records of master meters on each supply source, particu- larly during the heavy demand season. 2. A tabulation of total water consumption as determined by analysis of individual consumers' meter records. 3. Maintenance of water level recorders and pressure re- cording equipment which will be necessary to obtain the required basic data. Recording equipment and charts required for this purpose will be furnished by our firm. 4. Digging of test pits, if required, along distribution pipelines for the determination of the condition and for verification of location and size of existing facilities. We would be pleased to accomplish this investigation outlined under 1 through I4 above for the lump sum cost to the City of Caldwell of $5,500. If it should later be the City's desire to engage our firm for the final design and supervision of construction of any improvements which May appear necessary on the basis of this preliminary investigation, appropriate portions of payments made by the City for this investigation would be credited toward the cost of preparing final construction plans and specifications for these improvements. i We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal to you. If you should have any questions, or should you have any suggestions regarding the scope of the proposed investigation, we would be pleased to meet with you at your con- e venienee to discuss these questions in detail.
