Smith The assessment will include process/mechanical,structural, architectural, building mechanical, electrical,civil/site,and instrumentation review. CDM Smith will also complete a security review retative to physical security at each site. The structural assessment of storage facilities will be as follows: � CDM Smith structural engineer will enter the finished water clearwell at the Plant for a structural assessment assuming the Utility is able to completely drain for inspection. • No physical inspection included for the Finished Water Reservoir or distribution system elevated tanks, but recent or previous reports as provided by the Utility will be reviewed and recommendations will be incorporated into the CIP. In addition to the above, CDM Smith will review current cyber security measures implemented at the Plant and provide recommendations for improvements. Task 4-3: Determine Recommended Improvements CDM Smith will develop a list of potential improvements identified from the condition assessments and hydraulic capacity analysis.The list of potential improvements will be summarized, including the following: • Definition of the problem, impact on operations and associated recommended fix. • Assessment of level of priority. • Area of review(structural, process, etc.) • Definition of functional category. Task 4-4: Pump Performance Testing CDM Smith will coordinate with Utility staff to complete pump performance tests to include flow, head, and power(where feasible) measurements to evaluate the performance and deviations from the manufacturer's curves. Pump testing will be completed for Low Service, High Service,William Street Pump Station.The South Booster Pump Station will not be tested. Completion of this task assumes that the Utility can throttle the pumps with a downstream valve. The existing hydraulic model developed by the Utility and used by CDM Smith in Task 6 can be updated with these results prior to the distribution system evaluation. For the purpose of fee estimate,the following is assumed: • CDM Smith assumes one pump test will be conducted for each size and type of pump at each facility(i.e. if there are three pumps with same size,type, and relatively same age; one pump will be tested). • CDM Smith assumes that existing flow and pressure readings currently available will be utilized for the testing.The Utility will provide a licensed electrician to assist with power metering, including voltage and amps. No vendors will be retained to provide instruments or support for the testing. 4 � Page
