A Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (CSSMP) was adopted by Ashland April 17, 2012. The purpose of the Facility Planning Study Update is to provide the documentation requested by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality that outlines the changes since the previous facility planning study, summarizes new permit requirements, discusses treatment alternatives, and summarizes recommended improvements. An Environmental Information Document will also be prepared. SCOPE Task 1: Project Management and Meetings Keller Associates will complete the following project management tasks: Provide monthly invoices and progress reports (5 months). • Prepare a request for information and review data provided by the City. Provide subsequent requests for information (if needed) to clarify data and complete evaluation. • Coordinate study efforts with Oregon DEQ. • Conduct two conference call meetings with City staff to discuss study review comments.

Keller Associates will review with DEQ changes that have occurred since the CSSMP was adopted and their associated impact 211029-004 1 on Ashland's wastewater treatment plant.

Since Consultant has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment, or services furnished by others, or over the Owners and other contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, the Consultant cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual construction cost will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared by the Consultant. Should additional services be requested by the City and/or DEQ these services will be completed as part of a separate task order or an additional service to this task order. Task 3: Prepare Facility Planning Report Keller Associates will provide the following services: • Incorporate additional analysis items (Task 2) and items previously documented in the CSSMP into a facility planning study update.

City Responsibilities: ® NA ASSUr^ptions- The EID will be limited in scope to the third oxidation ditch. It is anticipated that separate environmental evaluations will be completed for other priority improvements including shading and relocation of the City's outfall to Bear Creek. For budget estimates, it was assumed that no additional field work (wetlands delineation, biological assessment, or archeological) would be needed as part of the Environmental Information Document. The site was previously identified by the City as a Locally Significant Wetlands area. It is anticipated that a more detailed wetlands delineation and associated permitting and mitigation plan will be completed as part of the pre-design phase of improvements.
