� � T . ( ATTACHMENT A , FOR , PRELIMINARY DESIGN ��, SOUTH WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION '� DECATUR, ILLINOIS I Prepared by Black & Veatch Corporation ' July 7, 2000 I SCOPE OF SERVICES ' A. Spaces Required Additional space at the South Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) is needed for the new Water Management Department. Initially the Water Management Director and his secretary will be relocated to the plant and in the next few years engineering staff may be relocated to the plant. These office functions need the support facilities of a conference room/etc. and additional parking. There is also a need for additional space in the SWTP laboratory to meet the Illinois Administrative Code for certified laboratories. Separate space is required for the testing of potable and non-potable water. Thus a new laboratory room is needed. It has been noted there is a need to increase plant security at the reception area. B. Approach Design Professional's personnel have met with the City of Decatur, Director of Public Works, the Water Production Manager, and plant staff to discuss expansion needs identified above and possible approaches. It has been agreed that the expansion needs to have the same architectural character as the existing plant, needs to be as practical as possible, needs to function well with the existing building and needs to be completed as soon a possible. After studying the site constraints with Mr. McNabb and Mr. Smith, it has been decided that an addition starting at the lobby and extending to the west would best meet the stated goals. Since there are two significant pipes below grade in the addition area, a basement will be required. The basement could also serve as space for the mechanical equipment needed for the office expansion. Decatur, IL 1 of 3 07/11/00 SWT'P Improvements Admin Area Prof Services Prop
