Approve Work Authorization CM U22.01 — WTP Process Efficiency and Control Improvements -Final
Design & Permitting — Chen Moore & Associates
The Village owns and operates Public Water System (PWS) No. 4501438, which provides potable
water to over 5,000 connections within its utility service area. One water treatment plant (WTP) serves
the PWS which has a permitted maximum day operating capacity of 6.33 million gallon per day (MGD).
The WTP generally consists of a 2.7 MGD sand filter treatment process, a 3.6 MGD reverse osmosis
(RO) treatment process, 2.75 millions gallons of finished water storage and two high service pump
stations. The various WTP expansions have resulted in treatment components and communications
systems that are not working at their optimum reliability or efficiency. Control systems hardware has
been added on as each upgrade or expansion has occurred and do not necessarily mesh well together.
Additionally, there are process control systems that can be upgraded providing an increase in
automation and allow more control over the treatment processes.
A preliminary evaluation of the existing water treatment processes was completed in Summer 2021 to
identify potential means to increase efficiency by lowering power and chemical use, evaluate the
existing control system hardware for a cohesive and planned upgrade, and recommend methods to
further automate the treatment processes is required. As a result of the evaluation, the following
improvements were identified:
• Addition of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), interstage booster pumps and pressure
exchange devices (PXDs) to the RO system trains for energy savings and improved process
control
• Addition of a second ammoniator to improve the disinfection system control
• Addition of multiple analyzers to improve process control and information available to operators
• Addition of a bypass line around the 2.0 MG GST for redundancy
• Multiple Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) and Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system upgrades to update outdated hardware
• High -Service Pump Station Upgrades for energy savings and improved pressure control
Staff recommends the final design and permitting services for this project be completed by Chen Moore
& Associates, in conjunction with Wright Pierce, one of the Village's on -board engineering consultants.
The proposed Work Authorization CM U22.01, in the amount of $241,000. If approved, the project is
anticipated to be completed in the Summer of 2022.
Note, a subsequent work authorization will be presented at a later date for bidding and construction -
phase services.

PROJECT TITLE: Water Treatment Plant Process Efficiency and Control Improvements
This Work Authorization, when executed, shall be incorporated in and shall become an integral
part of the Agreement for Professional Services dated September 10, 2021, between the Village of
Tequesta ("VILLAGE"), Chen -Moore & Associates ("CONSULTANT"), and Wright -Pierce, Inc.
(SUBCONSULTANT) hereafter referred to as the Agreement.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
VILLAGE owns and operates Public Water System (PWS) No. 4501438, which provides potable
water to the customers within the VILLAGE's water service area through approximately 5,045
connections. The PWS generally consists of fourteen groundwater wells, a water treatment plant
(WTP) with two separate treatment trains, and over seventy-two miles of water distribution mains
ranging in size from 4-inch to 16-inch in diameter.
The PWS has a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permitted maximum day
operating capacity of 6.33 million gallon per day (MGD). VILLAGE'S South Florida Water
Management (SFWMD) Water Use Permit (WUP No. 50-00046-W), which expires on October 31,
2031, allows the VILLAGE to withdraw up to 1,594 million gallons (MG) annually with a maximum
monthly withdraw limit of 230.11 MG.
The WTP generally consists of a 2.7 MGD sand filter treatment process, a 3.6 MGD reverse osmosis
(RO) treatment process, one 0.75 MG water ground storage tank (GST) and one 2.0 MG GST for
finished water storage, and ahigh-service pump station (HSPS). The HSPS pumps finished water
from the GSTs into the water distribution system. High -Service Pumps 1 through 4 are vertical turbine
pumps located outside, near the 0.75 MG GST, and are each equipped with 40 HP motors. Pump 4
has an adjustable speed drive. Pumps 5 through 7 are horizontal split -case pumps located in a pump
room next to the RO Process area. Pumps 5 and 6 are equipped with 125 HP motors, and Pump 7 is
equipped with a 75 HP motor. Pumps 5 and 7 have adjustable speed drives.

Agenda Item #24.
The Sand Filter treatment system was originally installed in 1977 as a GreensandTM filter for iron
removal. In 1982, the filter media was converted to sand/anthracite. In 2000, the VILLAGE
constructed the first phase of the reverse osmosis (RO) treatment train. The treated water from both
treatment trains is combined in a clearwell, prior to being pumped into the GSTs before distribution.
Evaluations of the existing treatment systems, SCADA systems, and distribution systems were
completed by the CONSULTANT and SUBCONSULTANT in 2021 as a separate project. As a part
of the evaluations, opportunities for energy savings and better operational control were identified.
These opportunities were translated into specific proposed improvements to the treatment, SCADA,
and pumping systems.
The VILLAGE has requested the CONSULTANT and SUBCONSULTANT to perform the
professional services required to implement these proposed improvements. SUBCONSULTANT will
provide the below services to assist CONSULTANT with this project.
II. SCOPE OF SERVICES

horizontally to Florida State Plane Coordinates based in NAD83/2011 and
prepare digital terrain model of surface.
c. Locate buildings, structures, building floor elevations, fencing, roadways,
trees (8-inch in diameter or greater), curbs, water surfaces, sidewalks, catch
basins, manholes, fencing, and utility poles for the proposed project.
d. Locate painted surface markings/locates of underground utilities;
e. Locate inlets, storm manholes, culverts, outfalls and control structures;
f. Determine existing elevations of manhole rims, structure invert and pipe
invert elevations on accessible sanitary and storm manholes, inlets, culverts

test holes using vacuum extraction to verify the locations and depths of specific utilities.
Subsurface utilitv information will be used to assist in the lavout of the new improvements and
pipeline connections. Once the utility has been exposed, depth, diameter and material type will be
obtained and provided to the CONSULTANT and SUBCONSULTANT to verify designation and/or
potential utility conflicts with the proposed design. The SUBCONSULTANT will help direct
VILLAGE staff on areas to perform GPR and specific areas for test holes.
