DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

GENERAL:

This section describes requirements for preparing a Water System Master Plan. The study is being paid from local dollars and is not dependent upon state or federal grant requirements. The services to be provided by the selected engineering firm includes collecting engineering data; undertaking field investigations; preparing a hydraulic model of the water system; preparing the reports and recommendations; and printing and providing necessary copies of engineering reports. City of Roseburg staff members will be available to work closely with the selected engineering firm throughout the project.

BACKGROUND:

In 1977 the City of Roseburg purchased the municipal water system from Oregon Water Corporation for the purpose of updating the system to accommodate future growth, to improve the fire protection function of the system, and to better regulate and direct system growth.

In 1979 the City’s first Water System Master Plan was prepared by Robert E. Meyer Consultants. In 1993 the plan was revised as the Water System Master Plan and Capital Improvement Plan by Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. In 2010 the plan was again revised as the Water System Master Plan by Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc.

This is the current guidance document for system growth.

With the current plan now in effect for 15 years, the City desires a new Water System Master Plan. It is anticipated that the new Plan will be similar to the existing 2010 Water System Master Plan but with updates to reflect current plan formatting requirements adopted by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), reflect recent plan submission and review requirements, and any changes to the system.

The water system master plan shall evaluate the needs of the water system for at least a twenty-year period as required by OAR 333-061-0060(5)(a) and shall outline specific capital improvements needed categorized as short range (1-5 years), medium range (6- 10 years), and long range (11-20 years).

The study area shall include all of the area within the Roseburg Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and areas served by the City that are outside the UGB, including Dixonville and North Newton Creek Water Study area. The City recently completed a UGB swap, which included the incorporation of the Charter Oaks area. A map entitled UGB

Boundary Exchange is available for reference. The map indicates the prior UGB, areas that were withdrawn, and the Charter Oaks expansion area.

The City has a number of resources and studies available to guide the preparation of a new plan. The items listed below are either available for upload directly from the City of Roseburg webpage and or will be made available upon request by the City’s Public Works Department staff, listed as follows:
