Deliverables: Workshop agenda and minutes. Task 4.5 - Environmental Assessment. Following a screening of possible alternatives, preliminary conceptual pipeline corridor evaluations will be undertaken. For each screened alternative, a conceptual environmental analysis will be conducted. This step is to provide a high-level overview to identify any significant environmental conditions that may impact future pipeline alignments and pump station sitings. The Consultant will also review all appropriate State/Federal regulations related to environmental assessments. The results of the environmental assessment will be documented in a memorandum. Deliverables: Environmental Assessment Memorandum Task 4.6 - Water Quality Evaluation. Consultant will collect water quality and hydrologic data for Dallas existing and future water supply reservoirs, and associated tributaries, where available. Existing water volumes and nutrient loads for each reservoir and surrounding tributaries will be calculated. The calculated volumes, nutrient loads and watershed characteristics will then be utilized to perform mass balance calculations for each reservoir under differing scenarios. The scenarios will be based on the amount of water being input into each system from the various water supply sources. Consultant will perform a water quality evaluation of the mass balances for each of the reservoirs. These evaluations will also compare the results of the mass balance to the original conditions of each reservoir. The water quality evaluation information can then be utilized by team members to evaluate treatability issues associated with the different water treatment plants and future plans. Consultant will develop a Water Quality Technical Memorandum detailing the data collection, mass balance approach and calculations, water quality evaluations and conclusions. Estimated effects on water quality from the importation of water from the various water supply sources will also be described.

The various water supply alternatives may have multiple locations where water could be treated. This will result in varying costs for delivering treated water into the distribution system. Consultant will develop capital and O&M costs for pumping to the distribution system for each alternative. A memorandum will be prepared documenting both the treatment and distribution considerations. Consultant will identify water treatment plant and distribution system efficiencies such as: Improvements to current processes that reduce the amount of water that is lost in plant operations; recommended improvements to water quality to reduce water flushing in the system due to lack of chlorine residuals; and other water efficiency factors. Deliverables: Technical memoranda improvements and efficiencies concerning treatment and distribution

Task 4.8 - Energy Needs Evaluation. Under the various screened alternatives, Consultant will develop estimated energy usage and demand requirements recognizing constant rate pumping and cyclical peaking scenarios. From the estimated energy and demand requirements, Consultant will develop the electric load profiles for each scenario and analyze the energy cost and economic impacts of the various load profiles. The energy requirements and load profiles developed in this task will be used in developing O&M costs. Consultant will recommend options for reduction in energy use per MGD of water treated or transported throughout the network. The energy and demand requirements, load profiles, and energy cost implications will be documented in a memorandum. Consultant will provide conceptual energy alternatives to DWU in its understanding of alternative energy resources availability in the North Texas Area for use in moving and treating water. This includes but is not limited to solar, hydroelectric, wind, geo-thermal, and biofuels. Deliverables: Energy Requirements Memorandum

Task 4.9 - Evaluate Alternatives. Each of the screening-level alternatives will be evaluated within a spreadsheet model or other appropriate methodology. This screening-level optimization model will screen through all possible combinations of alternatives to arrive at the most effective solutions. As part of this task, conceptual level pipeline routings, energy assessments, and proposed project costs will be developed, as well as environmental impact and development risk. Consultant will also identify emergency water supply that might be used during drought situations which could be quickly implemented. Alternatives might include possibilities such as trading water with other water supply entities, reuse, alternate water sources, groundwater use, and other feasible strategies. As a supplement to the optimization model, a matrix will be used to compare alternative integration plans in the context of broader criteria. The matrix will allow Utility's project team to assign various weights/priorities to each criterion, and the output will illuminate plans that effectively address multiple criteria. Additionally, the Consultant will provide a business case template that DWU can use in the evaluation of future water projects/alternatives, including possible criteria that should be considered and used.

Deliverables: Report identifying water infrastructure upgrades and timing to deliver water from water source to treatment plants and/or other lakes or streams. All diagrams for potential future infrastructure must seamlessly integrate into DWU GIS systems for future planning use. Task 5.2 - Develop Optimization Model. Under this task, Consultant will use existing information to develop the network of storage facilities, pump stations, transmission pipelines, potential new interconnections and other facilities that will be represented in a model that moves water through the network on a monthly timestep in response to hydrologic inputs and user demands. The model will include alternatives for routing water through Dallas transmission system. It will also include other potential interconnections between Dallas and other water providers reservoir and transmission systems. The model will be designed to help identify combinations of alternatives that effectively address low life-cycle cost, low energy demand, high reliability, etc. Any separate models that may be developed are to be incorporated into the existing programs that DWU utilizes as identified in Task 4.10. The relationships will be constructed on the basis of a schematic diagram of the system that Consultant will generate. The diagram will blend existing information on sources, transmission routes, connectivity, and capacities with prospective alternatives for new system features. It will be designed to include potential alternatives for interconnections between the systems. Deliverables: Schematic Diagrams of Alternatives.
