, __ APPENDIX I SCOPE OF SERVICES WATER RESOURCES/STORAGE/PRODUCTION STUDY City of Decatur, Illinois The scope of services for the Decatur Water Resources/Storage/Production Study includes the provision of consulting engineering services for the identification and evaluation of alternatives to improve the long-term reliability of the Client's water supply. Specific objectives for the study include: • Development of projections of likely future water requirements for the City of � Decatur; • Development of an accurate assessment of water supply needs in terms of quantity, quality and duration; and • Identification of cost-effective altematives for improving the long-term capacity and reliability of the Client's water supply. � The scope of services is structured to address these elements through a detailed engineering analysis which draws upon the principles of Integrated Resource Planning. Specifically, this approach will involve initial consideration of a broad range of supply-side and demand- management alternatives, followed by in-depth evaluation of specific options best-suited to Decatur's needs. As a result of these efforts, the study will provide the Client with a clear plan for proceeding with activities required for implementation of a cost-effective solution. In order to facilitate development of an implementable plan, it is expected that the Client and Engineer will establish a Technical Advisory Committee to participate in selected discussions of potential project altematives. The role of this committee within this project will be to provide input to the process of altemative identification and evaluation. It is expected that the Technical Advisory Committee will participate in two meetings during the process of alternative identification and evaluation. � HES SCOPE.WPF TJJ/tj-2 � H951 U9P/951 l03/95112(1
