Task Order No. U04-08-10
Engineering Services to Prepare a
Preliminary Design Report to Increase the Capacity of the
East Water Treatment Plant to Approximately 21.5 to 24 mgd
A. Background
The City of Boynton Beach (CITY) desires to increase the permitted capacity of the East Water
Treatment Plant (WTP) from 19.2 mgd to approximately 21.5 to 24 mgd. The increase in
capacity will enable the East WTP to treat surficial aquifer water from the CITY's eastern and
western wellfields. Currently, the western wellfield provides surficial water to the West WTP
and the eastern wellfield provides surficial water to the East WTP. However, the CITY plans to
change the water source and corresponding treatment process at the West WTP to the Floridan
Aquifer, which is a brackish water source. The surficial water once used at the West WTP
would then be diverted to the East WTP for treatment under a separate project.
Because the East WTP will need to treat more water and its equipment is aging, the CITY desires
to evaluate the East WTP equipment with regards to capacity, physical condition, and reliability.
The East WTP is a lime softening facility that was originally constructed in 1962. It has under
gone two major modifications/expansions in 1975 and 1992 and currently has a permitted
capacity of 19.2 mgd. Therefore, some of equipment is 16 to 46 years old and are difficult to
control and maintain. Permitting requirements have also changed and the East WTP would not
be permitted as high as 19.2 mgd under today's regulatory conditions.
The CITY has requested that Globaltech, Inc (CONSULTANT) provide engineering services to
evaluate the existing equipment at the East WTP and prepare a Preliminary Design Report (PDR)
and provide order of magnitude costs for the required improvements for the East WTP to treat a
maximum daily flow of 21.5 to 24 mgd. The equipment evaluation will cover the following
topics:
. Hydraulic Capacity
. Physical Condition of Equipment
. Firm Capacity
. Required Chemical Storage
. CT 4-10g virus removal/inactivation Criteria
. Implementation of I&C improvements (valve actuators)
Hydraulic testing of some of the existing equipment will be required to determine their upper
installed capacities. Structural testing of some of the existing equipment will also be required to
determine if they need modifications.
TASK ORDER No. U04-08-1O
Based on the testing results, a PDR will be provided outlining the required modifications for
each unit process of the plant except those being addressed by others in order to eliminate
duplication of effort. Where necessary, the CONSULTANT will coordinate with others to
gather information that is needed for the evaluation. These areas include the following:
. On Site Generation of Sodium Hypochlorite
. Sludge Thickener and Vacuum Press Rehabilitation
. Electrical System and Emergency Power
B. Scope of Services
Task 1 - Hydraulic Evaluation of Equipment
The East WTP is currently operating at approximately 8 mgd, well below its permitted capacity
of 19.2 mgd due to limitations imposed by the South Florida Water Management District on the
eastern wellfield. As such, the plant has not operated some of its equipment at higher capacities.
Full scale testing of system components are needed to determine their hydraulic capacities and to
identify any deficiencies if the equipment is to be used to treat a maximum day flow of 21.5 to
24 mgd. Manufacturer representatives will be consulted during the evaluation. The following
facilities shall be flow tested to determine functionality and capacity.
. Softeners
. Filters
. Sludge blow down pit pumps
. Backwash recovery basin decant pumps
. Backwash recovery basin sludge pumps
. High service pumps
The CONSULTANT shall coordinate with the Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD)
to facilitate the hydraulic testing of the softeners and filters. It is anticipated that one of the
InfiIco softeners will be operated at 12 mgd and two filters will be operated at 6 mgd for 3 to 4
weeks. Where necessary, CONSULTANT shall prepare a testing protocol for approval by the
PBCHD. The CITY shall operate the system and provide analytical measurements as required.
The CONSULTANT shall evaluate the data and provide a summary letter for the PBCHD as
required.
In order to evaluate the gravity flow components, spot elevations shall also be conducted by a
surveyor. The surveyor shall re-establish two benchmarks on-site form County Benchmark
Network and obtain spot elevations at the direction of the CONSULTANT. A desk-top analysis
shall be conducted for the gravity flow components at the 21.5 and 24 mgd flow rate.
The CITY is planning on replacing control valves at the plant with newer valves and actuators
that can interface with the SCADA East WTP. However, there are other manual valves that may
need to be replaced due to their age and/or condition. The CONSULTANT shall witness all the
valves being operated by plant staff to determine which ones if any need replacing. Those
control valves already scheduled to be replaced shall not be evaluated.

TASK ORDER No. U04-08-10
Results and recommendations from this hydraulic evaluation shall be summarized in the
Preliminary Design Report (PDR).
Task 2 - Structural Evaluation of Equipment
The steel components of the plant are showing various degrees of corrosion. There are also
minor leaks in the concrete water holding basins at pipe penetrations. A structural engineer shall
inspect the condition of the following items and make recommendations for improvements where
necessary for the following areas.
. Softeners
. Steel Lime Silos
. Fluoride tank containment
. Clearwell (exterior only)
. Pipe penetrations for filters
The structural engineer shall review the 2002 or later diver video of the interior of the clearwell
but will not conduct any physical underwater inspection of the interior of the clearwell.
Results and recommendations from the structural evaluation shall be summarized in the PDR.
Task 3 - Firm Treatment Capacity Evaluation
In order for the East WTP to be rated and permitted at 21.5 to 24 mgd, each treatment process
will need to have firm capacity with the largest component/equipment out of service. A desk top
evaluation shall be conducted to identify any firm capacity deficiencies. This evaluation shall
consider the results of the hydraulic evaluation from Task 1. The firm treatment capacity
evaluation shall include but not limited to the following.
. Softening capacity
. Filter capacity
. Filter backwash capacity
. Chemical storage capacity for 30 days
. Chemical feed capacity (excluding chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite)
. Clearwell capacity
. High service pump capacity
. CT requirements for 4-10g virus inactivation/removal
. Backwash recovery pond capacity
The desktop evaluation shall not include the following unit processes that are being considered
by others:
. Chlorination: Removal of gas chlorine and installation of onsite sodium hypochlorite
generator

TASK ORDER No. U04-08-10
. Instrumentation and controls
. Hydraulic modeling of finished water including storage tank capacity and high service
pumping to meet peak hour demand and raw water systems to meet maximum day
demands.
Results and recommendations from the firm capacity evaluation shall be summarized in the
PDR.
Task 4 - Electrical Power Evaluation
The existing electrical systems will also be examined in its ability to provide adequate normal
power and emergency power for the future flow rates. Future electrical demand for the plant will
be estimated based on equipment horsepower determined in Task 3 above as well as future
power requirements from the proposed onsite sodium hypochlorite generator. The electrical
evaluation shall include the following:
. Interface with the local power utility (FPL) to discuss normal power service redundancy
. Analyze the water plant's power system with the new electrical loads for the proposed
upgrades.
. Prepare single line drawings including emergency power
