As a mid-sized engineering firm with exceptionally qualified personal, BDM is � able to provide clients with a level of personal, responsive and cost-effective service that cannot be matched by � larger, less agile firms with high overhead expenses. We have built our team with care. Most of our staff has worked together for over 20 years allowing BDM to provide our clients continuity of service, something vital to � forging a long-term relationship based on trust and experience. All of our staff emphasizes treating clients and � their taxpayers fairly and with extreme respect. Due to our size, we are consistently able to provide more competitive rates and pricing than larger firms. ' • I I I • BDM believes that consulting engineering is a partnership with clients. As a client-first company, we work as an extension of the City Staff. We will integrate our personnel into City operations at any level that meets the needs � and desires of the client. Our field personnel are in contact with City Staff daily during active construction projects. , If the City has pressing needs,we will bring the staff and resources together to nneet those needs. When we commit • to a deadline, we will meet your schedule and goals. We consider our work product to be the property of our clients. This is not a uniform practice in the municipal engineering industry and is evidence of our client-first + commitment. �, • / / ' I I ' • i\s a mid-sized firm, our principals are accessible at a level not found from larger•firms and are available to work on • a day-to-day basis with clients. BDM has four industry leading owners who work directly with our clients: Brian Miller, president (30 years of experience), John Stewart, vice president (35 years of experience), Bill Chang, vice � president (25 years of experience),and Denny Honsa,vice president(30 years of experience). � � � • S �Ve keep the firm on the cutting-edge of new technologies and current industry practices. Project Engineers as well • as Principal owners attend continuing education and refresher courses to stay on top of the latest industry trends. � Our offices are fully networked and employees are able to access our servers from our clients' offices, construction sites, or any other remote location. Our field inspectors are certified under Mn/DOT's field services inspection and • testing programs.

BDM believes in a , collaborative approach to engineering that emphasizes input from City stakehol�ders at every stage of the project. • This commitment to transparency and ongoing dialog is reflected in the multiple stakeholder meetings proposed � throughout the scope of work. SDetailed description of deliverables � 1) Project Initiation: BDM will start project work by meeting with City StafE This meeting will provide the � opportunity for City Staff to fully detail schedule,content,and other final product expectations for the ' Master Plan. Our goal is to meet or exceed your expectations and a kickoff ineeting will help set the stage � for a successful project outcome. � 2) Review existing data: Our analysis and planning work will start with a�thorough review of existing data on • the system. We have reviewed the reports provided by the City Council iin the RFP and found there is a � • substantial amount of existing data. We will use this existing information as starting point for our own data collection and analysis activities. During this preliminary review,we wil�also meet with the sewer contract '', • company to discuss operational issues and determine necessary system repairs. Once our preliminary �, � review is completed,we will meet again with City Staff to discuss the operational challenges of the current system. � • 3) Public meeting,current uses and potential expansion: We strongly suggest a public meeting with current and potential properties to be served by the Uptown Central Cornmunity Sewer and Drainfield � System.With a small system such as this,the current and expected future uses of served properties can • have a dramatic effect on the expected wastewater volumes and strengths. This meeting will help quantify • these uses and serve the dual purpose of soliciting stakeholder feedback on current system operational issues. � ! 4) Optional onsite surveying and record drawing service: The information available on the specifics of the • system is currently imprecise.We anticipate that the system will require onsite surveying before expansion design can be completed.As a full-service surveying company,we will provide an optional cost for , conducting the survey to locate system structures, measure inverts,and prepare a more thorough record • drawing of your system. � 5) Detailed analysis of the current system: After the initial analysis and feedback meetings, BDM will begin Sa detailed analysis of system conditions that will result in two options for the City to consider. The first i option will detail ways in which the existing drainfield can be maximized. The second option will detail the costs and benefits of constructing a replacement of the current drainfield. This analysis will allow the City i to make the best decision possible based on current conditions and future projections of demand for • sewerage. � � � Proposal of Engineerin�� Ser��ices 5 City of Scandia ! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � i • ! • i • • • • ! • • • • • • ! • • • • ! • � • a • i # � � • BD C:ONSULTWG ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS, PLC � , a. Option 1,Analysis of capacity maximization using the existirng drainfield: BDM will analyze the • current system using our proven and tested approach to maximi•r.ing existing drainfield capacity. In most cases, BDM does not recommend the construction of new drainfields. Rather,we use an � innovative approach that alternates resting and active portions of the drainfield to maximize long- � term infiltration. This approach avoids the build up of a biomat, ;something that forms when drainfields are subjected to uninterrupted solids discharge. This technique has proven effective in � multiple municipalities we have served including Oak Grove, MN and Acro, MN (see relevant � experience section). Our work has shown that the use of resting periods can allow drainfields to � function for extended periods of time. Utilizing this approach has the ability to save the City significant capital costs. • We will also include an analysis of expanding the current system to include additional zones using • the drainfield land that has already been purchased by the City. 'I'his analysis will include the � continued use of the existing drainfield using our rotational zone approach. The additional � drainfield property has good percolation test data that will allow a reasonable analysis of the � additiopal capacity that can be built. � b. Option 2,Analysis of capacity maximization with drainfield�-eplacement: As a second option, ' BDM will analyze how to maximize the system capacity through a complete replacement of the existing drainfield. This analysis would include the preservation of sufficient area to construct a � second full replacement drainfield. While we do not believe that either a first or second • replacement drainfield will be necessary,such methodology will ensure the City is well equipped to � handle long-range or unforeseen increases in system capacity. . 6) Nitrogen limits for small, medium and large systems: Scandia's current system classifies as a small � subsurface sewage treatment system.Any expansion of the treatment capacity will likely push the system a above a rated capacity of 5,000 gallons per day.This will elevate the system into a medium subsurface sewage treatment system (MSTS). Depending on the potential impact to an aquifer,the treatment system • may be required to meet a maximum nitrogen limit of 10 milligrams per liter at the drainfield property • boundary. BDM dealt with this requirement in our design of the West Lake George Treatment System in Oak Grove.Their system is a large subsurface treatment system that was required to meet the 10 mg/l � requirement.A large system (LSTS) is classified as a system that has a daily capacity in excess of 10,000 , gallons per day and requires a State Disposal System Permit.There are very few straight drainfield sites that can dependably meet the requirement without a denitrification pret:reatment system before the � drainfield. Our analysis will include detailing the treatment options necessary to meet nitrogen discharge . limits if the system should increase beyond the rated capacity of 5,000 gallons per day. � 7) Detailed analysis of costs to expand the system: Based on our detailed analysis, BDM will prepare � planning level opinions of costs to replace, expand and upgrade system components.These findings will , result in a series of phased capital expenditures the City of Scandia will be able to consider.This • information will better equip the City in prioritizing sewer service to additional properties within or adjacent to the City's "Uptown" area.We will meet with the City Staff and Council at this stage to refine the � practical extent of the sewage system master planning effort. � 8) Ordinance review: As mentioned in your RFP,the current sewage collection and disposal practice does � not follow your City ordinance.Also,your ordinance does not address connection fees for properties that • wish to connect to your Uptown Sewage Treatment System. BDM will work with the City in producing a • connection and usage fee analysis that will ensure that fees and ordinances will lead to the long-term sustainability of the City Sewage Treatment System. This effort will tie iinto the detailed financial analysis. � � � Proposal of Engineeriug Services 6 City ��f Scandia � � � � B CONSULTING ENGINEEItS AND SURVEYORS,PLC • • 9) Detailed financial analysis: Our final deliverable will detail a sustainable financial outlook for the future � of the Uptown Sewer Treatment System. BDM will produce realistic options for the City of Scandia in • providing sewage treatment to the existing properties and expanding the capacity for additional service to � new properties.This analysis will project the annual operation and maintenance costs of the system over the planned, phased improvements. Ultimately, our financial analysis of the capital costs, 0 & M costs and � the investments already made in the system will allow us to develop a sewer access charge system and a • sewer use charge system for Scandia that is equitable for existing users aind future users. � � Proposed Timeline and List of Deliverables by week � Task 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 • 1 � 2 + 3 . 4 • 5 6 � 7 � 8 � 10 � .

BDM staff is very familiar with the facility Master Plan process. BDM staff has worked as engineer for two projects � that are analogous to the Scandia system. The projects in Oak Grove and Arco, MN both used subsurface • drainfields to serve small community sewerage systems. We provide descriptions and contacts for these clients as well as descriptions and contacts for two other recent small-scale, Minnesota wastewater treatment facility Supgrades that BDM has engineered. Finally, we include a description of our �vork with the upgrade of a larger . system, the Brainerd wastewater treatment facility. These projects provide a background of our experience working with systems similar to Scandia as well as our capacity to handle large, complex systems. � � Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade, the City of Oak Grove, MN � BDM Personnel: Bill Chang, PE,Jon Herdegen, PE, Brian D.

They discove�ed that they had excessive nitrate • levels in most of their private wells within the City. Their first approach was to connect to a rural water system to eliminate the need for private wells for potable water use. The Minnesota Pollurion Control Agency became aware • of the nitrate problems in their groundwater, determined that it was from numerous failing individual sewage • treatment systems. Brian and John worked with the City to design and construct two community mound systems for the projected 105 residents of the City of Arco. These two mound sites provide treatment and subsurface ` disposal of the wastewater. We worked through the process with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and + through the MPCA and EPA grant process. � Arco's system incorporates cycling in their disposal system to provide resting fo�r the unused mounds. Each site has � four mounds with tow in service at a time. The initial cycling was set for three rr�onths in service and three months • resting.

Their � wastewater plant is a contact-stabilization activated sludge plant. The upgrade included the construction of a new clarifier, a new grit chamber and bar screen, a � lime stabilization system for the digested sludge, retrofiitting aerators, pumps and � additional miscellaneous mechanical systems. Mr. Miller worked with the City � through multiple funding sources and the contract requirements of each. � Wastewater Treatment System, City of Oak Grove, MN - The Gity of Oak � Grove constructed a Large Community Drainfield System in the early 1980's. At � that time, the City was required to monitor the nitrogen levels at the property boundary of their drai»fields. The Minnesota Pol;lution Co��trol Agency revised � their rules to become compliant with the federal regulations on nitrogen discharge � to ground surface and subsurface disposal of wastewater. This required the City to � either meet the drinking water standards for nitrate nitrogen at the property � boundary in the groundwater, or treat the wastewater to meet total a nitrogen limit of 10 milligrams per liter prior to discharge to their draintield. The City of Oak � Grove chose to construct a treatment system to me�;t tl�e nitrogen limit. Mr. Miller � was tl�e project manager on tl�e design and construction services of the wastewater � treatme��t project as well as the expanded large community draiilfield system. The drainfield covers approximately 2.5 acres and provided for a service area � expansion for the City's redevelopment of a blighted area on the west side of • Lake George. � Wastewater Treatment System, City of St. Francis, MN — St. �rancis had a � traditional stabilization pond system with a series of three pre-aeration ponds � added at the influent and poorly conceived rapid irifiltration basins constructed of � 1 foot deep concrete walls separating the basius from each other and the adjacent � property. Immediately adjacent to the RIB's w�as a drainage ditch that was approximately 8 to 10 feet deep. Mr. Miller proceeded to work with St. Francis to � detern�ine the options for upgrading their system. The two urgent needs were to � inerease capacity, both hydraulic and treatmeilt capacity was limited. St. Francis � had a discharge point into tl�e Rum River, which is an Outstanding Resource Value Water and the previously obtained discharge could not be increased. Mr. � Miller assisted the City in negotiating an increase in the hydraulic discharge, but � the mass loading of BOD and TSS remained limite�� to the previous permit levels. � The treatment capacity of the system was im�proved by reconstructing the � stabilization ponds to deep aerated ponds. The aeration system consisted of � blowers and static tube aerators. The pre-aeration ponds were retrofitted with the • static tube aerators to replace surface aerators that �vere marginally effective in the � winter weather. Hydraulic capacity was increased by the increased treatment level and discharge to the river. � � � � � � � � i ! • • � • � s • � • � • � � • • • • • • • • • • � • � • • • • � � • • � • • � , � ..�-, � .�� - � . . . .
