' SCOPE OF WORK
PROJECT APPROACH
The product of this study would be a report presenting a project plan, fi- nancial plan and environmental impact report for the proposed satellite
sewage treatment and disposal facility in the northeast area of the City.
The intent is to provide the City of Carlsbad with a technical evaluation
of prior reports on the compatibility of the proposed facility with the
City's concept of future satellite wastewater reclamation facilities.
,
Realizing that a significant amount of the background information which
must normally be collected as part of this type of study has already been
gathered, both by the City and the developer, the following tasks would
be undertaken.
TASK 0 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This task will include fiscal management of the project, in-house technical
review and public presentations and hearings. A maximum of two meetings
before the Planning Commission or City Council-are included in the Scope
' of Work.
TASK 1 - REVIEW
This task will consist of reviewing all pertinent documentation assembled
by the City's staff including the project report prepared by Lowry and As-
, sociates. Supplementary data would be requested or collected as necessary.
All reports will be reviewed with regard to the value of prior samplihg and testing, the assumptions made in the analyses and design factors used.
.
The Scope of Work does not include collection of additional field data should
the review indicate that such data is required.
TASK 2 - DEFINE STUDY AREA
This task will involve identification of the area which should be considered
in sizing and locating the proposed facilities, and of.the factors affecting
design. This task will include:
Limits of study area - define geographical limits of the area
which should be considered in the design of the facilities in-
cluding the potential for treating wastewater generated outside
the City limits.
Characteristics of study area - review all factors affecting the
design and use of the facilities including: . Geography . Soils
Geology and seismicity . Climate . Groundwater conditions . Other unique area characteristics
--.
c) Population and land use - define for entire study area, utilizing
existing information from City of Carlsbad forecasts and the Land'
Use Plan. Comprehensive Planning Organization. Identify areas for potential reuse of wastewater based upon existing land use plans and previous reports.
Wastewater characteristics - identify the volume and composition of
wastewater to be accommodated by the facility and assess the poten-
tial for reclaiming the water for reuse.
The forecasts would be checked against those of the

posed in the Lowryreportsin terms of the quantities and qualities projected
in Task 1, above. We will:
In particular, we will consider those pro- *
a) Compare methods of treatment and disposal and the discharge require-
ments for each disposal alternative. Analyze treatment processes
in terms of their future applicability for reclamation and reuse.
b) Review the ability of alternative plant sites to meet service area
disposal needs, and their adaptability to provide a feasible alter-
native source of water for agricultural and for landscape irriga-
tion.
c) Consider the land area required for the treatment and disposal
facilities for the study area defined. Land requirements will be
idenEified for ultimate operation under the possibilities of (1)
treatment and disposal, and (2) reclamation and reuse in conjunc-
tion with treatment and disposal.
d) Evaluate alternative locations and the capacity of a fail-safe
system to the ocean outfall, and the impact on the existing
. ocean outfall.
e) Review the probable phasing of constru'ction, c'apitai costs of
expansion, and the operation and maintenance costs for each level
of development. Develop cost estimates for alternative treatment
systems, sites and phasing.
f) Summarize wastewater reuse requirements of the California Depart-
ment of Health, the San Diego County Health Department, and the
San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board.

b) Prepare detailed cost estimate of the recommended project.
c) Summarize the technical concepts and institutional arrangements
inherent to the recommended plan.

The financial analyses will review all capital and operation and maintenance
costs anticipated for the proposed facilities at each level of development.
a) Operation and Maintenance Costs - . Review and develop financial analyses that identify the
revenue requirements for operation and maintenance costs.
. Recommend a financial plan which identifies financing al-
ternatives and recommends a method for meeting financial
obligations, including consideration of existing sewer
fees. We would assess and recommend a method to allocate
the costs incurred.
b) Capital Costs -
. Provide a. financial analysis which identifies the revenue
requirements, if any, for the City to build and/or expand
the facilities. Identify sources and level of funding.
Prepare preliminary revenue programs which estimate user
charge rates.
TASK 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT

clude all necessary requirements to complete the project.

General Plan Area, required to accommodate the treatment facility and
areas suitable for utilizing reclaimed water. This task shall include
the environmental investigation of alternate sites, completion of the.
