While the City completed an update to the water master plan in 2013 and several capital improvement program (CIP) projects have been completed, several large developments of regional impact (DRIB) are modifying plans that could impact the phasing of significant capital projects for the City There is also potential the City may change the policy through which capital projects are funded. As a result of these changes and the need to utilize the most accurate data possible to support review of the City's impact fee and rate structures, it was necessary to update the master plan and its conclusions and recommendations. This master plan updated recently constructed infrastructure and existing hydraulic models to utilize as a tool to update existing CIP tables in the master plan based on location, sizing, phasing, and costs. Reiss updated the structure (pipes, pumps, wet wells, tanks, discharge locations) for the water/wastewater/reclaimed water hydraulic models based on the recent construction efforts for City -designated CIP projects, as well as developer installed infrastructure since the 2013 model update. The data collected was used to revise the existing demands and flows. The master plan was revised with five-year and build -out water demand and wastewater flow allocations in the future demand/flow spreadsheet and hydraulic models. The updated hydraulic models were then used to evaluate 5-year, 10-year, and 25-year demand and infrastructure conditions. Previously proposed improvements were reviewed, re-evaluated, and modified to optimally meet City standards. The previously developed alternatives were updated and reconfigured to reflect the most recent developer information. Capital costs were revised for each alternative for comparison. The updates to the recommended phased projects are reflected in the CIP tables with associated capital costs consistent with the City's current CIP format. Reiss produced a master plan update technical memorandum with updates and recommendations for the final deliverable. The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) maintains a hydraulic and water quality model of its potable water distribution system to help plan, design improvements, operate, and optimize water pressure to deliver quality service to its customers. OUC staff historically developed and maintained this valuable tool. An enhanced water quality model was developed by Reiss to provide OUC water production and distribution staff a new dimension in predictive system performance monitoring, performance benchmarking, operations optimization and regulatory compliance. The primary objective of this project was to evaluate and update OUC's water quality model to optimize service to OUC customers. OUC's hydraulic model encompasses the entire OUC service area. This service area includes separate pressure zones and areas where supply water mixes in the distribution system. An important consideration to OUC was the natural mixing zones that exist in between the water treatment plants. This project covered the pressure zones and focused on optimizing water quality in the mixing zones.

PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND COORDINATION STRUCTURE TREATMENT STUDIES Glenn Dunkelberger, PE, BCEE James Hagerty, PE Ocoee Horlda PROJECT MANAGER PRINCIPAL -IN -CHARGE Edward Talton, Jr., PE ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER Chad Meisel, PE C. Robert Reiss, PhD, PE QUALITYASSURANCE/ QUALITY CONTROL Kelcia Mazana, EI HYDRAULIC MODELING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW/ PLANNING Weston Haggen, PE Alejandro Solanilla, PE Melanie Peckham, PE Jonathan McCarthy, PE 24 APPROACH The City utilizes hydraulic models to support decision making for expanding, rehabilitating and improving its existing water, wastewater and reclaimed water systems. Modeling can support key engineering, planning and operations decisions to efficiently operate and expand the City's water utilities. Hydraulic models have provided the City value in development reviews, particularly identifying and resolving potential capacity impacts, as well as permitting, operational improvements and system trouble shooting. The Reiss approach matches the scope of work requested as described below. Our approach is simple, to work hand -in -hand with the City's staff to update and utilize the City's hydraulic models using the cutting edge modeling software and experienced engineers. Updates in model structure and detailed demand/flow allocations will keep the model foundation sound and available field data can validate/calibrated models. Our mission is to update and maintain hydraulic models so that you have confidence in simulations to truly reflect actual field conditions. DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN MODELS "Developing and maintaining hydraulic models for potable water, reclaimed water, and sanitary sewer systems including collection, distribution, and transmission components." Reiss has extensive experience with the City's existing hydraulic models for potable water distribution, reclaimed water distribution and sanitary sewer collection and transmission having constructed them; this will save the City considerable time and budget updating and maintaining the models. The models have been updated with key information over the past several years and with the City's recent significant development growth and downtown initiatives could be further improved by updating key inputs. Small to medium levels of field calibration would further validate the models' accuracy and agreement with actual field conditions. Calibration or verification can also help identify 25 field related anomalies, such as closed valves or worn pump impellers that can help improve system performance. The approach to updating the hydraulic model starts with verifying model structure including pipes, nodes, pumps, tanks, connections, autoflushers and elevations. The model structure would be compared with the City's latest AutoCad and GIS data to capture up to date system expansions and modifications. With new pipes and nodes in place, demand and flow allocations can be updated with the City's latest customer meter billing database. Model demand and flow allocations drive model accuracy. Reiss is intimately familiar with the City's customers having geo-coded water meter billing data previously. Averaged billing data would be into water models and converted into wastewater flows spatially allocated into the hydraulic models. Once structure and demand/ flows are updated, Reiss and the City can proceed with field verification using field collected and/or available flow, pressure, and level information to improve the models' accuracy and potentially locate field irregularities. Calibration does not have to be system wide but can be focused or targeted in areas of concern to minimize data collection efforts and cost. REVIEW DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS `Assessing impacts of proposed developments and their respective flow contributions on the City's existing infrastructure and evaluating existing and future system requirements." The Western Force Main has been completed and is functioning as planned providing redundancy and capacity to serve expected future development on the western half of the City including the Downtown corridor. The City utilizes the hydraulic models to integrate development's potable water, reclaimed water, and sanitary sewer systems services into the Ocoee's existing systems without significant impact to existing customer's service. If downstream impacts are identified upfront, the City can work with developers to construct facilities that abate the impacts via solutions identified using hydraulic analyses. Reiss Project Manager, Ed Talton has provided development review for over 20 years in Central Florida including for the City of Ocoee. Our project engineer, Jonathan McCarthy served in a development review role for the City of Orlando and has significant experience in this role. Reiss' 7+ years of identical development review services for the City of Ocoee provides efficiency and no learning curve to apply the City's engineering standards and review process to assimilating new connections minimizing capital and operating costs. The City will benefit by Reiss ensuring that development engineers design facilities that not only meet City engineering standards, but function seamlessly with the City's existing and future infrastructure. The City's models have both existing and future scenarios that enable forecasting future conditions so that parallel lines or pump upgrades are not required. This has and will continue to save the City significant future costs. One approach that has worked well for the City has been modeling work sessions with staff. Computer model runs are made together with City staff that provide on -the -fly input and direction. This approach saved the City tens of thousands of dollars on the State Road 50 widening project by eliminating unnecessary piping re -construction. The potable water model also has the capability to perform a detailed fire flow analysis. We will work with the Utility staff and Fire Department to identify standard values for fire flow requirements for the various locations throughout the City. We understand that the ability to provide sufficient fire flow service to the entire City is important. The hydraulic model is an extremely valuable tool for line size replacement for both fire flow and for other issues such as small (2") pipe replacement and aging pipe issues. The model can be used to develop a priority list for infrastructure improvements that will provide the best value for the City, not only for replacement, but for sizing to meet future conditions. FM MODELING SUPPORT WORK "Recommendation of model parameters, coordination with the City to update the City's utility system in to the modeling environment, compilation of data required by the model, formation of alternative networks, model operation, utilities studies, recommendations on operation equipment and maintenance, and other services associated with municipal utility modeling and other utility operation improvement." Reiss will utilize an approach that has made us a leader in hydraulic modeling for municipal Utility needs here in central Florida. Our staff utilizes cutting edge modeling processes and methods that have brought national and local recognition for the specific services desired by the City of Ocoee in this RFQ. As shown throughout this proposal, our key staff has performed these exact services for numerous Florida municipalities and specifically for many of the local Utilities right here in central Florida, including a recent wastewater model up -date for the City of Ocoee (City). Our Team knows the City and the issues facing the Utility with respect to planning and will use this knowledge to get the most out of these excellent hydraulic modeling tools cost effectively. Reiss will provide the City with experience and depth of resources to ensure that that the City has high quality and accurate models and that support services are in place to transfer utility system data into the models, form alternative networks, operate the model, and provide other support services to the City. Mr. Talton will work with your staff to evaluate various scenarios to make key planning and engineering decisions, as well as support the staff for the Downtown Master Plan and support communication with the City Commission. The same situation is true for the City of Melbourne, the City of St. Cloud, the City of Tampa and Toho Water Authority. For these municipalities, we have built and (in most cases) calibrated either their water, wastewater and/or reclaimed water models. Additionally, we remain under contract to these municipalities to answer engineering and planning questions. We are also currently working for the Cities of Sanford and Orange City to up -date and calibrate their wastewater and water models. Part of the City falls within the Wekiva River Basin which in October of 2015 a Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) was published which describes a need for septic tank conversion to a central sewer system. The City has been proactively planning and implementing this conversion including the Bluford Avenue corridor that Reiss assisted with gravity pipe layouts. Reiss' recent experience with Seminole County's Wekiva River septic tank conversion plan will also benefit the City. Senate Bill 712 Environmental Resource Management (aka the Clean Waterways Act) was passed in March of 2020 and similarly prescribes septic to sewer conversion. SB 712 provides funding mechanisms; Reiss can assist the City of Ocoee pursue funding for this important initiative to minimize rate impacts on new and existing customers. 27 1 l {OOFfS [kI[iI�WNM[ oM1wOe arN[m[a V[lo t[KNC�irtNuua ®uy.T00M IOK MOP[ V Q Florida Senate approves Clean Waterways Act; environmental groups say it's 'ineffective' .. r IVa your read) Improve our she IVa your read) Improve our she ABILITY TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS In order to meet the City of Ocoee's (City) project deadline, the City needs an engineering team that: • Possesses proven communication skills; • Has previous experience in managing water quality and compliance projects; • Provides innovative and proven techniques for maintaining schedules and budgets; and, • Manages the time commitments of key staff to ensure project success.

Reiss Engineering, lnc. J RFQ #20-00C LITIGATION HISTORY Reiss Engineering, Inc. (Reiss) provides a wide range of services, including design and construction of water treatment, wastewater, and reuse water facilities, as well as planning and permitting services. With a historical focus on advanced potable water supply and water quality studies, and an impressive resume of complex design projects, Reiss Engineering, Inc. has established itself as an industry leader in civil and environmental consulting engineering. Over the past 20 years, Reiss has completed more than 1,000 projects for more than 140 clients, with the majority throughout the State of Florida. In the last 5 years, Reiss has been involved in litigation relating to two projects on which we provided services. One case was settled in mediation with paying a minimal nuisance value toward the settlement and the second and third cases are pending. Details of these litigations involving Reiss are as follows: Damage to force main during public roadway improvement project: ® A general contractor damaged an underground force main during a public roadway improvement project located in east Orange County. Reiss Engineering, Inc. provided on -call engineering and utility locate services to the South Seminole & North Orange County Wastewater Transmission Authority (SSNOCWTA), the owner of various underground utilities located within the boundaries of the project. ® In 2014, the project general contractor's general liability insurer brought suit against SSNOCWTA seeking reimbursement for costs to repair the force main. SSNOCWTA enjoined Reiss Engineering, Inc. as a third -party in the suit seeking contractual indemnity for all or part of the damages based solely upon the alleged deficiencies in the utility locate services provided by Reiss' subcontracted professional surveyor, Southeastern Surveying and Mapping, Inc, and did not allege any negligence on the part of Reiss. The case was mediated and settled in 2017, with all five defendants, including Reiss, mutually agreeing to pay an equal and nominal nuisance payment toward the settlement. 34 Subcontractor final payment dispute: • Reiss Engineering Inc., in its capacity as design consultant/design professional for WPC Industrial Contractors, Inc. (design -builder), completed a design -build project for Hillsborough County, Florida that provided for a new 10 MGD wastewater pump station (Delwood Master Pump Station) to divert flows from the decommissioned Dale Mabry Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant to the County's expanding Northwest Wastewater Treatment Facility. Reiss terminated its original subcontractor for electrical engineer of record services, Engineering Design Technologies, Corp. (EDT) under the "termination for convenience' provisions of its subconsultant agreement with consent of Hillsborough County and WPC Industrial Contractors. In 2018, EDT filed suit claiming non-payment for services. The case is on -going. Final payment dispute: • Reiss Engineering Inc., in its capacity as design consultant/design professional for WPC Industrial Contractors, Inc. (WPC), completed a design - build project for Hillsborough County, Florida that provided for a new 10 MGD wastewater pump station (Delwood Master Pump Station) to divert flows from the decommissioned Dale Mabry Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Plant to the County's expanding Northwest Wastewater Treatment Facility. Hillsborough County paid approximately $173,000 to WPC for the express purpose of payment to Reiss Engineering, Inc., which WPC failed to do. Reiss also provided additional project related services for which WPC has failed to pay Reiss. In 2019, Reiss filed suit against WPC and its bonding company claiming non-payment for services. The case is on -going.
