RE: Rexburg Headworks Upgrade, Professional Engineering Services Proposal
Dear Mr. Beard:
Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City of Rexburg on this important project. AQUA
is providing this scope of services and fee estimate to provide engineering design and
construction support services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Headworks Upgrade.
Below is a narrative of our project understanding followed by the proposed scope of work,
schedule, and fee estimate.
GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Rexburg City intends to upgrade and expand the capacity of their wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP). The City has identified the headworks as the first major facility that will undergo
improvements. A master plan was recently completed that includes recommended design criteria
and upgrade alternatives for the WWTP, including the headworks facility. The Headworks RFP
scope involves review of growth projections, recommended design criteria, and upgrade
alternatives for the headworks to furnish a complete headworks design package suitable for
bidding and construction.
The following items are assumed:
• Existing headworks building will be expanded, including new channels for the screening
process, new magnetic flow meter, and a new grit chamber. The new channels area will
be enclosed in an expanded building area, connected to the existing headworks building.
• Existing screens will be reused and an additional screen will be added to the process.
• A sluice system will be incorporated to move screenings from the screen area to the
washer/compactors.
• Two new washer/compactors will be installed.
• Building expansion will be CMU block, matching the existing headworks architecture.
• All channels will be covered with planking.
• HVAC system will be installed and provisions to incorporate odor control in the future will
be included. The system will ventilate the channels and equipment separate from the
building space.
• Some minor building modifications will occur, including changing the access to the
electrical room to separate this room from the corrosive environment.
• A septage receiving station will be added to the facility incorporating pH, flow, and
conductivity measurements. The system will include a card access for users.

• Site grading, paving, utility lines, and other local improvements will be designed as
needed to accommodate these improvements.
• Updated control for the building to incorporate new equipment being added and
standardize existing controls.
• Relocation of electrical panels located in the process area of the headworks to the
electrical room for corrosion protection.
• Network updates to modernize the network in the building
• Construction length is assumed to be 365 days.
