RESOLUTION NO. - EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS
Pursuant to ORS 279B.085 —Special Procurements, the following facts support an
exemption from competitive solicitation for Updating the City Water Master Plan:
• Exempting this project is unlikely to encourage favoritism in the awarding of public
contracts or to substantially diminish competition for public contracts:
a) Brown and Caldwell ("Brown") has the specialized technical skills, expertise and
resources to provide the City with a cost-effective update to the City Water Master
Plan ("Plan").
b) Brown is uniquely qualified with in-depth knowledge of the City's existing Plan.
c) Brown was under contract with City and completed the Plan in 2008 as well as two
updates to the model for the Tolo Area since the original Plan and has previously
analyzed the City's need for additional water reservoir locations.
d) The Plan is in need of further updates to be completed in 2 phases over the 18/19 FY
budget and the 19/21 budget.
e) Brown is a qualified consultant and has the personnel resources available to ensure
completion of the master plan within the next 9-12 months.
• Exempting this project is reasonably expected to result in substantial cost savings to the
contracting agency or to the public:
a) Brown's familiarity with the City's Plan and water reservoir location needs enables it
to efficiently provide Plan updates that will result in significant cost savings for the
City.
b) Cost savings are achieved through the continuity of using the same team which has
familiarity with the Plan, the updates and the future needs of the City.
c) Any change of contractor to update the Plan would require a substantial effort by
the contractor to learn the existing Plan and prior analysis that resulted in such plan.
• Public notice of the approval of a special procurement must be given:
a) Public notice of the exemption from competitive solicitation was published on City's
website beginnine

Exhibit A - Phase 1 - Scope of Work
Introduction
This project is the first phase to update the Water System Master Plan (WSMP)for the City of Central
Point, Oregon (City). Brown and Caldwell (BC)will update the water system hydraulic model developed
for the previous master plan and use it to determine if previously identified projects are still appropriate
and develop new projects. BC will also update demands, perform a water quality assessment, and
summarize the City's water rights assessment into the master plan report. BC will perform a business
case evaluation to develop a long-range capital program for the City's water system. A written report
will reflect the results of this project, and a formal presentation of those results will be made to the City.
The following scope of work lists the portion of this effort that will be performed in this phase.
Task 1 Project Management
Task 1.1 Administer Project and Schedule
BC will provide a Project Management Plan and will direct,coordinate, and monitor the activities of the
project with respect to budget, schedule, and contractual obligations.
Task 1.2 Project Kickoff Meeting
BC will initiate the project with a kickoff meeting via web conference. BC will prepare an agenda for the
kickoff meeting, collect water system data, and discuss the project schedule.
Task 1.3 Provide Project Coordination
BC will conduct regular progress conference calls or meetings with City personnel to review project
progress, issues to be resolved, early study results,etc. Because master plan studies evolve over the
course of the project, BC will work to ensure that the City personnel and BC team members remain "on
the same page" regarding study direction, objectives, and deliverables.
Task 1.4 Conduct Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Reviews
BC will conduct internal QA/QC meetings and follow-up with technical experts as necessary during the
project. All deliverables will receive internal QA/QC checking or peer review.
Task 2 Update Water System Demands and Storage Analysis
Task 2.1 Calculate existing demands and allocate
BC will use customer billing data provided by the City to determine the per capita use rate and unit use
rate. BC will use data provided by the City from the pump station flows, tank levels, and MWC master
meters to calculate maximum day demand, average day demand, and updated diurnal demand patterns.
Demand allocation includes the assignment of existing system demands to the appropriate locations in
the model.The flow recorded at each customer meter will be assigned to the closest node in the model
and scaled so that the total system demand matches the estimated total supply from MWC.
Fire flow demands will be based on the fire flow rates established for each land use type in the existing
master plan. It is assumed that updated GIS data of existing and future land use is available to update
the fire flow allocation to each hydrant in the system.
Task 2.2 Calculate future demands and allocate
Future demands will be calculated using population projections provided by the City and per capita use
rates calculated for Task 1.3.1. Future demands will be added to the model in areas where growth is
expected to occur.
Task 2.3 Storage Analysis
Perform a storage analysis to determine the amount of available storage compared with the required
storage and how the system will be affected by the demolition of the Shops tank and addition of Taylor-
West development.
Assumptions
• The City will provide monthly customer billing data and updated future demand projections.
• The City will provide hourly or shorter duration SCADA data required for diurnal pattern
development.
• The City will provide 5-year, 20-year, and buildout population projections for calculating future
demand.
Task 3 Field Testing and Facility Update
Task 3.1 Update water model with new facilities/controls
BC will verify the accuracy of facility location, sizing, and controls in the model. It is anticipated that only
minor model revisions will be needed. BC's lead modeler will spend up to 24 hours updating and
verifying the model facilities and controls.The City will provide GIS data of water mains,valves, pumps,
and tanks that are not represented in the model, including planned near-term projects. BC will add all
missing projects to the model from the GIS data provided. Pump curves will also be provided by the City
for BC to verify that the appropriate curves are included in the model.
BC will summarize the control valve settings, isolation valve closures,tank level controls, and pump
On/Off settings from the existing model for review by the distribution system operations manager. City
operators will provide corrections to the controls to reflect the current control strategy for each demand
condition. A model scenario will be created for each demand condition and the documented control
strategies will be added to the appropriate scenario.
Task 3.2 Field testing plan
BC will submit a calibration field testing plan to the City for review.The plan will specify the testing
locations and procedures, SCADA data that must be provided for the calibration efforts,and the
equipment that will be required to perform the testing. City staff will review the plan to determine if
testing locations or procedures need to be modified to prevent property damage, health and safety
risks,or service disruptions. BC will revise the plan based on City comments and oversee the field testing
activities to capture the information required to calibrate the model.
Task 3.3 Perform field testing
The testing will include up to 4 hydrant tests, as well as testing at each master meter(3) and pump
station (2). A City vehicle and two City staff to operate the system facilities will be required for the
testing.Two days of effort from distribution system operators will be required to perform the field tests.
A BC employee will accompany the distribution system operators and supervise the testing.
Task 4 High-Priority Evaluations
Task 4.1 Shops PS Location Analysis
Task 4.1.1 Discuss Shops PS Relocation Options
Discuss options with the City for an alternate Shops PS location. Will include a web conference to discuss
preliminary options and limitations. BC will investigate the feasibility of the alternatives and select up to
5 alternatives to investigate using the hydraulic model.
Task 4.1.2 Model Analysis
Model analysis of up to 5 PS location alternatives. For each alternative, BC will use the model to
investigate the system performance with respect to pressure,operational controls, and additional
facilities required.
Task 4.1.3 Document Results
Preliminary result for the analysis will be provided to the City via a web conference. BC will prepare a
technical memorandum to fully document the results.
Task 4.2 Taylor-West Expansion Analysis
Task 4.2.1 Add model scenario
BC's lead modeler will spend up to 8 hours updating and verifying the piping and demands associated
with this project.The City will provide GIS data of water mains,valves, pumps, and tanks that are not
represented in the model, including planned near-term projects.
Task 4.2.2 Model analysis
BC will evaluate the distribution system using the hydraulic model to determine its capacity to deliver
water to the Taylor-West area under peak demand and under fire flow conditions, both for existing
demands and buildout demands.Any deficiencies discovered in the distribution system that are not
addressed by the existing CIP will be identified.
Task 4.2.3 Document Results
Preliminary result for the analysis will be provided to the City via a web conference. BC will prepare a
technical memorandum to fully document the results.
Assumptions
• Evaluation will be considered preliminary and subject to change with the completion of the Task
5 and 6 evaluations
• City will evaluate source capacity and associated water rights, BC will only evaluate delivery
capacity to the development
• Criteria developed for the previous master plan will be used for evaluation
• Buildout evaluation will be based on the CIP from the previous master plan
