EXHIBIT A
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI
BROADWAY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PERMIT ASSISTANCE
SCOPE OF WORK
The City of Corpus Christi (CLIENT) requests Alan Plummer Associates, Inc., (APAI)
(ENGINEER) to assist with permitting and regulatory assistance for the Broadway Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP). This plant operates under the authority of the Texas Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (TPDES), a program of the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ). The TCEQ issues TPDES permits for the plant to allow them to discharge
treated wastewater to surface water in the State.
The TPDES permits must be periodically renewed, typically on about a five-year cycle. The
Broadway TPDES permit expires in June 2016. The application for renewal of the permit
TPDES permit is due to the TCEQ by December 3, 2015. The purpose of this scope of services
is to provide for assistance to the CLIENT by the ENGINEER for the completion of the
application for permit renewal.
It is understood that the CLIENT has recently determined that it will be necessary to incorporate
a new interim phase of operation in the Broadway TPDES permit, requiring a more complex
renewal application than has been previously anticipated. This scope of services will describe
services by the ENGINEER to complete the renewal application with the addition of the new
interim phase of operation. BASIC SERVICES, described following, include the activities and
tasks necessary for the ENGINEER to support the CLIENT in this project with regard to TPDES
permitting for the Broadway WWTP.
Not all permitting services that may be needed for this project can be predicted. Therefore,
ADDITIONAL SERVICES are also described in the following scope. ADDITIONAL SERVICES
will not be performed unless requested by the CLIENT, in which case the ENGINEER will
provide a specific scope of services for the requested assistance. An ADDITIONAL SERVICES
budget has not been established for the project.
BASIC SERVICES
BASIC SERVICES for this contract include the following:
EXHIBIT"A"
Page 1 of 6
Phase I: Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Renewal
These services will apply to the Broadway WWTP in the case of Phase I. Activities and tasks
are described following.
Phase I: Texas Pollutant discharge Elimination System Permit Renewal
The renewal process for the Broadway WWTP includes the following BASIC SERVICES
activities:
Activity A: Prepare Application for the Permit and Provide Administrative Review Support
Activity A has specific tasks, which are described in the following sections. For purposes of the
BASIC SERVICES scope, it is assumed that the renewal of the TPDES permits includes
renewal with a minor amendment to add an interim phase of operation. It is assumed that there
are no anticipated changes to the permit being sought that would result in a need for a major
amendment of the permit. If amendment of a permit is desired by the CLIENT or required by
the TCEQ, such will be considered as ADDITIONAL SERVICES and the ENGINEER will
provide supplemental scope and budget to apply for and support the additional permitting
requirements associated with the request or requirement. The ENGINEER will proceed with the
additional permitting requirements only after authorization to proceed is received from the
CLIENT.
Activity A: Prepare permit Application and Provide Administrative Review Support
This initial activity includes four tasks. These tasks are described below.
Task 1: Obtain and Review information
ENGINEER will review the information available from the previous permit application for the
WRC and will determine what additional information is needed. ENGINEER will prepare, and
submit to CLIENT, a request for information. Requested information will include, but not be
limited to effluent quality data, soils data for overland flow site, and industrial pretreatment
program information. ENGINEER will review the information to verify that it meets TCEQ
requirements. If necessary, additional information will be requested by ENGINEER. CLIENT is
responsible for the costs associated with all effluent analyses.
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 2 of 6
Task 2: Prepare Permit Application
ENGINEER will prepare a renewal permit application. Relevant information obtained in Task 1
will be entered into the appropriate TPDES permit application form by ENGINEER. The
application forms required are the Domestic Administrative and Technical Reports.
Required attachments to the application will be prepared. Attachments required by the TPDES
permit application include, but are not limited to, two original USGS topographic maps with
details labeled, and a Supplemental Permit Information Form.
Two copies of the application will be provided to CLIENT for review. After receipt of comments
from the CLIENT, the application will be revised by ENGINEER, as appropriate. An original and
six copies of the final application will be provided to CLIENT. Per TCEQ requirements, the
original and three copies of the application must be submitted to the TCEQ. If requested to do
so, ENGINEER will submit the original and three copies of the application to the TCEQ on
behalf of CLIENT.
The application must include a copy of a check payable to the TCEQ. TPDES permitting fees
will be the responsibility of CLIENT.
Task 3: Provide Support for Administratively Complete Application
The TCEQ will perform an administrative review of the permit application. The administrative
review may also include a limited technical review. The TCEQ will advise CLIENT of the results
of the administrative review. If required, ENGINEER will assist CLIENT in preparing a response
to the administrative review comments. Once the TCEQ is satisfied that all of the required
information has been included, the TCEQ will declare the permit application to be
administratively complete.
CLIENT will be instructed to publish a notice of intent to obtain a permit. The notice is required
to be published in one or more local newspapers, and possibly in an alternative language
newspaper. The determination of whether the alternative language publication is required for
the renewal will be made during Task 1 of this activity. Publication of the notice and associated
fees will be the responsibility of CLIENT.
EXHIBIT "A':
Page 3 of 6
BASIC SERVICES SCHEDULE
The Broadway WWTP application must be submitted to the TCEQ by early January 2016.
Because the development of an interim phase of operation is a recent addition to the plan for
Broadway, it is possible that an application will need to be submitted that is not complete and
then additional information provided in follow up to the initial submittal by the required date.
BASIC SERVICES for this contract will include services through completion of an application
whether that occurs at the time the initial application is submitted or whether additional work is
needed after that time. It is expected that a complete application can be finalized by February
2016.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
ADDITIONAL SERVICES are those that are not currently anticipated to be a part of the project
to obtain the TPDES permit, but which could become necessary or desired at some time during
the project. ENGINEER will perform ADDITIONAL SERVICES only as authorized to do so by
CLIENT. If CLIENT requests ADDITIONAL SERVICES, ENGINEER will prepare a specific
scope and budget for the services requested for review and approval of CLIENT prior to
initiating the services. Following is a list of some of the ADDITIONAL SERVICES that might be
needed or desired:
• Field reconnaissance by ENGINEER to collect data or information not otherwise
provided by CLIENT.
• Any water quality modeling associated with the discharges from any plant to the
respective receiving stream.
• Development of additional documentation for permit amendments, should the TCEQ
determine that permit amendments are necessary, or should CLIENT decide to pursue
permit amendments, rather than renewal of the permits.
• Support during permit processing by the TCEQ.
• General regulatory support for issues associated with any wastewater or water quality
issues that arise and for which the CLIENT desires the assistance of the ENGINEER.
• Meetings with CLIENT, or with the TCEQ or other regulatory authorities, such as the
EPA, to discuss the permit.
EXHIBIT"A"

• Meetings or telephone calls with potential or actual protestants, or the development of
public information or strategies to aid in avoiding protests.
• Any application fee required by the TCEQ.
• Assistance with publication of notices of application or notices of the draft permits in a
local newspaper(s)and fees associated with publication.
There may be other potential ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Should CLIENT desire ENGINEER to
perform ADDITIONAL SERVICES beyond the proposed budget for ADDITIONAL SERVICES,
this contract may be amended to accommodate the additional work.
