Statement of Work Water Treatment System Controls and Communications

Facility Operational Support Death Valley National Park

Part 1: Background/Objective/Scope

I. Background:

Death Valley National Park operates reverse-osmosis water treatment plants at the Furnace Creek (FCRO), Cow Creek (CCRO), and the Stovepipe Wells (SPWRO) locations in Death Valley National Park. These three reverse osmosis treatment systems require utilized computerized electronic controls for proper operation and monitoring of the systems. Operation of the plant requires annual operator training to ensure current staff understand plant operations for protection of public health and for regulatory compliance.

II. Objective:

Provide for safe and compliant operation of reverse-osmosis water treatment plants through software support, firmware updates, user interface revisions, operator training, and updates to communication systems.

III. Scope:

A. Software Support. Provide 40 hrs of software support per year. Support shall be on an on-call basis when requested by the COR. Support shall include programming changes necessary to correct emerging operational control issues, changes to regulatory requirements, user-requested changes for operational efficiency, changes to government IT security requirements, data log updates, sensor inputs (flow, pressure, residual chlorine, conductivity, tank level, etc.), SCADA, or other similar problems.

B. Firmware Updates. Install updates to firmware in the computer and control systems used to operate, monitor, and document regulatory compliance as such firmware updates become available.

i. As needed not to exceed 5 hours per contract year C. SCADA and DEVA Utility Tablet Program Development

i. Develop a SCADA export as well as integrate into the current monitoring website the Avista Conductivity Membrane Performance Workbook for FCRO, CCRO and SPWRO.

Optimize the permeate flush cycle settings at FCRO based on these findings.

I. 3 days per site (3 sites) for programming – not to exceed 2 days total for bug fixes for all sites

ii. Develop a tablet-based collection system for the collection of daily water plant log information for the transient non-community water plants that is reliant on WIFI connectivity only. Develop a database to capture this information and create a California Waterboards state report export in comma delimited format.

I. 3 days of programming per site (4 sites) – not to exceed 7 days of bug fixes D. Plans and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

i. Develop and prepare a written plan for Death Valley National Park to implement that would reduce arsenic to zero (or as close as possible) at FCRO, Grapevine and Mesquite water treatment plants.

I. 1 day for sample analysis and plan development per site (3 sites) 3 days

ii. Develop a RO membrane cleaning analysis & graph of the FCRO, CCRO and SPWRO plants performance with a DEVA tablet setup for use in scheduling cleanings and replacements of membranes over the course of each contract year.

I. 6 days for programming for 3 sites – 4 days for bug fixes

iii. Develop a SOP for the tablet-based data collection program developed for the transient non-community water plants.

I. 1 day for development of the SOP

iv. Prepare an update to the SOP’s annually based on changes in software, firmware, installed equipment, operational efficiencies, or regulatory requirements.

I. 1 day for the annual update of the SOP E. Preventative Maintenance. In conjunction with training sessions specified elsewhere, perform automated valve maintenance/replacement at FCRO, CCRO and SPWRO.

i. Identify and develop a plan and corresponding map for the cyclic maintenance of the automated valves at FCRO, CCRO and SPWRO plants.

I. 1 day for CCRO and FCRO, 1 day for SPWRO

ii. Rebuild or replace these valves over the course of each contract year according to the 5-year cyclic plan.

I. Not to exceed 3 valves or 8 hours per contract year F. Training and Site Visits:

i. Perform a minimum of 2 site visits per year, approximately 6 months apart, scheduled and coordinated with the COR for optimum effectiveness with park staff schedules.

ii. Provide training twice per year to include: General RO treatment process, plant-specific controls for each plant, automated regulatory data collection, SCADA, monitoring for membrane cleaning, cleaning/replacement process SOP, water treatment best practices, operator math and cross-connection control. Comprehension tests shall be administered and reviewed in class after each section.

iii. Training shall include a minimum of 12 hrs classroom time, including material comprehension test review and 6 hrs of hands-on time during each training visit.

iv. Provide a training agenda and a copy of training materials to the CO 30 days in advance of the scheduled training date, for CO review and approval.

v. Training shall be presented with certificates upon successful completion. These trainings will be approved by the California State waterboards as Continuing Education Units

(CEU).

G. Instructor Qualifications: Instruction shall be provided by instructors who possess all of the following qualifications (composite qualifications among instructors):

i. California-certified Water Treatment Plant Operator, Level T2 or above; and

ii. Mechanical Engineer

iii. Automations/Software Control Systems professional H. Staff Experience: Proposed staff shall have a combined minimum of 15 yrs experience in all the following:

i. Design of RO treatment systems including mechanical components and control systems.

ii. Automation processes for monitoring and control RO treatment systems.

iii. Water treatment plant manufacturing and assembly processes.

iv. Communications protocols for remote monitoring.

v. Siemens Simatic WinCC.

vi. SCADA systems integration.
