Insurance.
11.1
General.
A.
Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Consultant, Consultant shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended, with
an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the City.
Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the City’s option.
B.
No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the City does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Consultant. The City reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement, but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C.
Additional Insured. All insurance coverage and self-insured
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and
Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted
by law for claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement, the City, its agents,
representatives, officers, directors, officials and employees as Additional Insured as
specified under the respective coverage sections of this Agreement.
D.
Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
City, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E.
Primary Insurance. Consultant’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the City
as an Additional Insured.
F.
Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G.
Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the City, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and

employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Consultant. Consultant
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.
H.
Policy Deductibles and/or Self-Insured Retentions. The policies
set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or selfinsured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the City. Consultant shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I.
Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Consultant shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the City and Consultant. Consultant
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
J.
Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencing any work or services
under this Agreement, Consultant will provide the City with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Consultant’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The City shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Consultant’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the City 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)

entitled to workers’ compensation benefits from the City. The City does not have the authority
to supervise or control the actual work of Consultant, its employees or subcontractors. The

represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and
superseded by this Agreement. No representations, warranties, inducements or oral agreements
have been made by any of the parties except as expressly set forth herein, or in any other
contemporaneous written agreement executed for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of

Agreement whether or not subcontractors are used. Failure to pay subcontractors in a timely
manner pursuant to any subcontract shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Consultant.
13.10 Rights and Remedies. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed,
expressly or by implication, as waiver by the City of any existing or future right and/or remedy

the City to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the City’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Consultant from any

Project Approach
3. Project Approach
A. Philosophy and approach to performing the services required with respect to the proposed discipline
category(ies).
PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH
Our approach to completing project assignments involves mutual planning, development and validation of
project concepts, field verification, and deliverables production. Management of quality is a key component
of all our projects. Our Quality Program includes: quality assurance (assembling the right project team and
doing the right job); quality control procedures; clear roles and responsibilities; proven procedures (schedule
control, budget and cost control); and communication protocol.
Management and Organizational Capabilities
Pirnie/ARCADIS recognizes that effective project management and leadership is essential to all projects. To emphasize this core value and enhance the capabilities of our project managers, we require all project
managers to be certified through completion of a rigorous internal training program before they are allowed
to lead any external client’s project.
Project Control Procedures and Policies
We use project management tools and techniques such as risk registers, responsibility assignment matrices
and work breakdown structures to balance budget, schedule and to meet the scope defined project
requirements. Our team stresses upfront planning and continuous communications and understands that
quality assurance is the application of planned, systematic activities to ensure that all project requirements
will be met.

Cost Control
Pirnie/ARCADIS maintains an outstanding record of completing projects within or below budget due to
our comprehensive cost control processes. Pirnie/ARCADIS will implement and monitor an effective system
of project cost control and will regularly evaluate progress versus cost. Our system tracks all project costs,
including approved and pending changes, cash flow reports and projections. By identifying variances
between actual and budgeted or estimated costs, projects are kept in check. Detailed cost estimates at each
deliverable stage will provide a check on the project’s developed cost versus the City’s budgeted amount.
Proposed changes in scope will be tracked in a change log with the cost impact of each change, or changes,
evaluated and vetted prior to implementation. Our records show that change orders during construction on
projects designed by Pirnie/ARCADIS are less than 2% of
the construction value, significantly lower than the industry
norm of 5% to 7%. This performance is a testament to the
accuracy and completeness of our design deliverables as
well as the effectiveness of our construction observation
and management efforts.

Increases in the construction cost of a project can be
reduced by minimizing construction rework, change orders,

Project Approach
and will result in a better-constructed project. A cost loaded project schedule will be utilized to report and
compare current budget status. This will include reporting planned versus actual costs, and planned versus
actual progress. Trends will be analyzed to identify potential time and/or cost overruns early to allow for
corrective action.
Schedule Control
Pirnie/ARCADIS understands adherence to schedule is as important to our clients as technical expertise, and
we have an outstanding record of completing projects on or ahead of schedule. Our project experience has
consistently shown that the key to meeting schedules and budgets is careful planning combined with close
monitoring and ongoing communication during project execution. Pirnie/ARCADIS’ approach to project
schedule management is an integral part of project planning.
At the beginning of each project, a project management plan will be developed that identifies the scope,
budget, background, procedures, goals, and schedule. By preparing a comprehensive project plan, schedule
development becomes a natural by-product. Clearly identified milestones and benchmarks are used to drive
the project schedule. During construction Pirnie/ARCADIS ensures that the contractor develops a cost-loaded
Critical Path Method (CPM) baseline schedule as the basis for monitoring production, progress and cost.
The cost-loaded CPM master schedule for all construction activities will have input from the contractor, City,
designer, Utility Companies and any other critical stakeholders. This maximizes our ability to identify potential
issues, determine mitigation measures and manage the issues that may impact the project schedule.
Quality Control Measures
Pirnie/ARCADIS assigns one or more senior quality consultants to each project who are responsible for
interfacing with the project team for technical review and quality assurance purposes. These individuals have
expertise in a particular service area and are qualified to assist project teams in accessing knowledge through
a variety of venues, including their own experience, internal expert networks, and external resources such as
academic consultants.
Throughout the construction process, Pirnie/ARCADIS will perform regularly scheduled Quality Assurance
reviews of major submittals and testing results. Any modifications to the plans as a result of a Change
Directive or response to an RFI will be noted on the As-Built record drawings for the project. Our construction
QA/QC Program includes such components as permit validation, contractor QC plan approval, submittal
reviews, material testing report reviews, and inspection and documentation of work performed.
EN 12-054

Project Approach
Business Relations
We recognize that constant communication with the client is the
most effective means of focusing on satisfaction, minimizing changes,
and avoiding disputes. We make every effort to keep the client team
engaged in the project through all phases of project execution. If
changes occur during project execution, we work with our client
to identify methods for including the desired changes with minimal
disruption to the project budget and schedule.
Scheduling of Individual Requests for Services
As individual work assignments are received, the Pirnie/ARCADIS
project manager will work with resource team managers to ensure
that the project is staffed appropriately and that staff are committed
for the duration of the project. When we are first contacted for a work
assignment, we will collaborate with City staff to develop a scope,
budget, and schedule that meets the City’s needs.
Mechanisms in Place to Ensure Timely Responses to City Requests
Pirnie/ARCADIS’ Project Manager will be our first line of contact with the City’s representative and will be
accountable for providing a prompt response to each request made by the City. In his absence, the Project
Principal will ensure responses are provided to the City’s requests. Both the Project Manager and Project
Principal will be based in our Phoenix area office. This level of local commitment and stability attests to the
firm’s dedication to local client service and support to ensure timely responses without exception. The fact
that most of our key support staff are also locally-based further supports this commitment.
Capacity to Accept Projects
Pirnie/ARCADIS performs workforce capacity analyses on a regular basis to ensure adequate staff resources
are available for each new contract. We have evaluated the existing and projected workload of our proposed
project team, and we are confident that each of our team members will be able to commit the necessary
time to meet the schedule, quality, and performance standards required to provide the City with projects
that exceed expectations.
Flexibility of Consultant Firm Related to Variable Workload
The Pirnie/ARCADIS team provides successful projects and quality client service through proactive
communication and coordination with client staff. By continually communicating with clients and monitoring
staff commitments, we are able to adapt to varying project demands.
B. Familiarity and capability of compliance with City’s standard insurance requirements and contract
documents.
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Pirnie/ARCADIS has had the opportunity to respond to RFP solicitations received from the City of Avondale in
the past and has completed recent contracts. We are fully aware of the City’s Professional Services Agreement
standard provisions, terms and conditions. We are also fully aware of the City’s Insurance Requirements and
can comply with coverage criteria. Upon award of an assignment/project we will present the certificates of
insurance as required by the City.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Avondale: Avondale Water Resource Master Plan / Avondale AZ. Project Manager
for update of the City’s water resource and water infrastructure master plans. The project
includes review of regulations, inventorying existing and potential future water supplies,
updating water demand projections, developing recommended demand/supply strategies, and
modeling of the infrastructure to develop a cost-efficient capital improvement program. Three
tools were developed to facilitate water supply planning: a GIS-based tool to simultaneously
project water demands, wastewater flows and reclaimed water demands, update of the City’s
water system hydraulic model to quickly and easily assess future water system infrastructure,
and a groundwater model to determine the long-term impacts of alternative well locations and
pumping operations on local groundwater levels and movement.
City of Avondale: Surface Water Treatment: Opportunities and Anayses / Avondale AZ.
Project Manager for evaluation of surface water utilization alternatives including recharge and
recovery, a new City WTP, and participation in three local regional WTP projects. Concept
facility and infrastructure requirements were identified for each alternative including
conveyance pipelines, wheeling arrangements for use of canal systems, additional potable
and reclaimed water recharge capacity, additional production wells and/or WTPs, and
wholesale water purchase terms for the regional WTPs. The evaluations included comparison
of all-inclusive 20-year lifecycle costs and scoring and weighting of cost and other non-cost
decision criteria to identify a preferred future surface water utilization strategy.
City of Phoenix: Water System Master Plan / Phoenix AZ. Technical advisor for the water
infrastructure master planning elements of this overall water system master plan. Assisted
project team in developing 50-year water demand projections using the City’s GIS land use
and water customer billing databases; reviewing growth development scenarios; identifying
water treatment, storage and pumping requirements over the 50-year study period; and
developing and evaluating water system master plan alternatives.
City of El Mirage: Water Master Plan / El Mirage AZ. Project Manager for preparation of a
water master plan for this small city (11 square-miles) that was experiencing a growth
explosion. The City’s 2000 population of approximately 7,000 grew to 25,000 by 2003, and is
expected to further grow to over 40,000 by 2020. The project included preparation of an

inventory and condition assessment of all water supply facilities; development of water
demand projections utilizing the City’s GIS land use and customer water billing databases;
review of the City’s available water resources and development of a future water supply
strategy; development, calibration and use of a water system hydraulic model to identify
capacity deficiencies and system expansion requirements; and completion of a water system
appraisal of a portion of the infrastructure that was within the limits of a neighboring
community system. The master plan identified critical water facilities and system
improvements for immediate action; provided guidance for orderly expansion of the water
system, and served as the basis for development of a Water CIP.
City of Tempe: Integrated Master Plan / Tempe AZ. Project Manager for preparation of an
Integrated Master Plan for the City of Tempe's water, wastewater and storm water systems.
The project includes use of the City's existing Stoner Workstation Service (SNS) water system
model, and development of wastewater and storm water system hydraulic models. The project
also includes an update of the City's water resources master plan, and identification and
evaluation of infrastructure integration and entrepreneurial strategies to better manage and
operate the three utility systems. Finally, an integrated capital improvement plan and financial
models will be developed to assess the impacts of alternative improvements and
modifications on the City's financial program and user rates.
City of Peoria: Water Infrastructure Master Plan / Peoria AZ. Project Manager for the
preparation of a master plan for the City of Peoria's water supply and distribution system. The
project includes a comprehensive review of federal, state, and local regulations governing
water production and distribution; inventory of the existing distribution system and water
supply quality; development of water demand factors including lost and unaccounted for
water; linking of the City's geographical information system (GIS) database of populations and
land use with an updated Cybernet hydraulic model; development of system performance and
design criteria; calibration and use of the hydraulic model to identify short-term and long-term
recommended water system improvements; and, assessment of emergency and system
redundancy requirements. The findings of the evaluations and system modeling will be
incorporated into recommended 5- and 10-year capital improvement programs (CIPs).
City of Surprise: Integrated Water Master Plan / Surprise AZ. Project Manager for
development of a utility master plan that incorporates water resources, groundwater recharge,
and water, wastewater, and reclaimed water infrastructure into an integrated water master
plan. The project includes review of regulations, inventorying existing and potential future
water supplies, developing recommended reclaimed water management and water
demand/supply strategies, and modeling of the infrastructure to develop a cost-efficient and
integrated capital improvement program. A GIS-based tool was developed to simultaneously
project water demands, wastewater flows and reclaimed water demands based on land use
and development plans. The tool was developed in an interactive database setting to permit
changes to land use characteristics and demand factors to rapidly develop any number of
“what if” demand scenarios.

Proposal – Water System Model Update and Pressure Zones Evaluation
Date:
February 18, 2014
Dear Mike:
Contact:
This letter contains our proposal to provide services for a Water System Model
Update and Pressure Zones Evaluation. Our proposal includes four primary tasks:
1) project management and coordination, 2) hydraulic model review, verification and
recalibration, 3) field data collection and review (for calibration purposes), and 4)
pressure zone evaluations. We will conduct our work to improve your confidence of
the water model and to support and provide justification for decisions that you will
make to improve water system pressures throughout your service area.

The City completed a water infrastructure master plan update in 2005. At that time, a
hydraulic model was created of the water distribution system, that model was last
updated in 2009. Since 2009, this model has been used to evaluate the impacts of
new demands, system improvements, and changes to system operations. Most
recently the model was used in the 2013 Water Master Plan Update and in the
development of design criteria for the Northside Water Supply Facility booster station
rehabilitation project, also in 2013. The hydraulic water model serves as an
important tool to support key decisions related to operational changes.
During the 2013 master plan update and the more recent modeling efforts, it has
become apparent that the model may not be accurately simulating all portions of the
water system, discrepancies between actual and modeled ground elevations and
system pressures are suspected. As part of this project, information contained in the
model will be reviewed to determine if any updates are needed. In addition, the
calibration of the model will be checked to ensure that the model is able to replicate

field results under specific demand conditions to within industry standards for
accuracy. The model update and verification will result in greater confidence in the
model results for both the pressure system analysis as well as any future modeling
efforts.
The City would also like to evaluate water system pressures using the verified water
system hydraulic model and to consider various alternatives for increasing pressures
in the northern portions of the service area where new commercial developments
have experienced periodic episodes of low water pressures, and decreasing
pressures in the southern portions of the service area. Currently, the Avondale water
distribution system has one pressure zone with some areas in the southern, older
portions of the service area protected by pressure reducing valves. The City would
like to explore alternatives that may involve adding one to two more pressure zones
to improve overall system pressures.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – Project Management
ARCADIS will provide project management and coordination services for the
anticipated four-month project schedule. The project management services will
include:
·
Conducting and documenting project status meetings as required.
ARCADIS will conduct the following meetings:
o
A project kickoff meeting where project objectives will be confirmed,
and water model and system issues will be identified, aand data
needs will be discussed.
o
The end of Tasks 2 and Task 3 to discuss results, findings and
conclusions of the work.
o
During Task 4 to brainstorm pressure zone alternatives with the City
based on findings of the preliminary water system modeling.
o
The end of Task 4 to present the modeling results, conclusions and
recommendations.

2/7
Mr. Michael Smith
February 18, 2014
·
Monitor the progress of the project from a schedule and budget perspective
and submitting, with project invoices, a monthly report indicating work
progress versus the planned schedule and expenditures.
Task 2 - Model Review, Verification and Recalibration
ARCADIS will perform a review of the data contained in the City’s existing water
system hydraulic model files and will make minor model updates, if necessary. The
extent of the review will include:
·
Comparison of GIS water main data to water mains in the model
·
Review of pump curves and pump discharge elevations
·
Review of tank elevations and operating levels
·
Spot check of pipe elevations throughout the system based on ground
contour information
·
Incorporation of new City surveyed ground surface elevations, if appropriate.
·
Review of large user demand locations
·
Review of demand patterns
·
Review of closed valve locations
·
Review of any PRV control settings
Any changes required to the model will be discussed in a meeting with the City and if
necessary, recommendations for more in-depth future model updates will be made.
Under this task, verification for how accurately the model is able to match field data
will also be performed. The City will provide 72-hours of hourly supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) data for: 1) a recent high demand period and 2) a
recent average demand period. The SCADA data will include:
·
Pump flow rates
·
Pump suction/discharge pressures (where available)
·
Tank levels
·
Valve settings/flows
Page:
3/7
Mr. Michael Smith
February 18, 2014
Using this data, ARCADIS will compare model results under average and maximum
day demands for a 24-hour extended period simulation. Where needed, model
parameters will be adjusted until predicted pump flows, system pressures, and tank
levels for the calibration period agree with field-measured data within reasonable
limits. The model will be calibrated in accordance with AWWA Manual M32 to the
greatest practicable extent, consistent with the project purpose.
Task 3 – Field Data Collection and Review
ARCADIS will develop a field data collection plan to place approximately 10 pressure
data loggers throughout the distribution system to measure system pressures for 7
days. This data will be used to refine the model’s calibration and increase confidence
in the model results throughout the system. Lower pressure areas and/or areas of
concern to the City’s operating staff will be specifically targeted for field data
collection. Gaining a better understanding of system pressures will be beneficial for
determining potential new pressure zone boundaries.
This proposal assumes that the City will be responsible for purchasing and/or
renting the pressure recording devices (if necessary), installing them in the
field, and collecting the data after 7-days during an average demand time. If
necessary, ARCADIS can perform the field work for an additional fee.
Task 4 – Pressure Zone Evaluations
Once the model has been reviewed and verified, a system pressure evaluation will
be conducted. The objective of the analysis will be to boost system pressures by at
least 10 psi in the commercial areas in the northern portions of the system and to
manage resulting areas of high pressures in the southern areas. The evaluation will
be performed in three subtasks as outlined below.
Task 4.1 Preliminary Modeling
Preliminary modeling will be conducted on the system that will be useful in helping to
determine up to three viable alternatives for improving system pressures system
wide. The preliminary modeling will look at issues that were identified with City staff
in the project kickoff meeting in Task 1, including the following at a minimum:
·
Evaluate current system pressures including apparent pressure spikes in the
existing system and their cause, older neighborhoods where higher pressure
Page:
4/7
Mr. Michael Smith
February 18, 2014
might/does impact existing pipes and/or homes, and any other area that
system pressures are a concern.
·
Identify areas that are currently protected by PRVs and where high
pressures would be a concern (i.e. older neighborhoods and areas currently
served through PRVs) to determine the need to provide sub-pressure zones
and where pressure zone splits could be located. This would also determine
if/where additional pressure reduction will be required in the way the system
is presently operated.
·
Identify and include current infrastructure projects in progress as “existing”
infrastructure so as to incorporate their impacts to the system in the
preliminary modeling evaluations.
·
Evaluate impacts if the overall system pressure is raised by 10 psi, which is
what the City would like to see as a minimum in certain portions of the
northern portions of the service area.
Based on the preliminary modeling evaluations, ARCADIS will be better prepared to
discuss alternatives for improving system pressures which may include options for
creating new pressure zone(s), adding additional PRVs, increasing pipe looping,
and/or replacement of existing water mains with larger diameter pipes. Each
alternative will take into account where pressures need to be increased and where
pressure reductions will be required in order to maintain pressures within acceptable
thresholds. All model runs will be conducted under maximum day demands and a
maximum day plus fire flow event.
Task 4.2 Modeling Progress Meeting
The preliminary modeling results will be presented to City staff during a progress
meeting for discussion and stimulation of other potential ideas for improving system
pressures, and ultimately to identify up to three viable alternatives that will be subject
to final model evaluations. The initial model runs will help to establish the boundaries
for feasible alternatives and provide insight as to any problem areas. Based on
discussion with the City during this meeting, three final model runs will be selected
based on the preliminary model runs or a combination of preliminary model runs.
The selected alternatives could also include completely new alternative identified
during the discussions.

Mr. Michael Smith
February 18, 2014
Task 4.3 Final Modeling
As part of this task, the final modeling analysis will be conducted on the three
selected alternatives from Task 4.2. The model will be run under maximum day
demand and a maximum day plus fire flow event.
Based on the results from all of the modeled alternatives, ARCADIS will select a final
recommendation to improve system pressures, provide opinions of probable
construction costs for City budgeting purposes, and list the benefits (and any
disadvantages) that will result from the recommended system improvements.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
The following deliverables will be provided as part of this project:
·
Updated model files
•
Technical memorandum summarizing the model review results, model
updates required for improved calibration, a final recommendation for
improving system pressures, and a listing of the benefits (and any
disadvantages) that will result from the recommended improvements.
•
GIS maps of proposed pressure zone boundaries and any piping or pumping
improvements required under each alternative evaluated
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The duration of this project is anticipated to take 4 months upon receipt of data to
begin model review. A data request list will be provided prior to the project kick-off
meeting to allow City staff opportunity to provide all data at the kickoff meeting.
