HDR Statement of Qualifications Water System SCADA Upgrades4 r b all AZA %.. WO .� n a k of u� 4 r� » Emm rvsL K A L I S P E L L woRxics May 8, 2020 Joe Schrader Utility Management Superintendent 201 First Avenue East Kalispell, Montana 59901 RE: Statement of Qualifications for Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades Dear Joe and Selection Committee Members: For over 19 years HDR has been providing engineering services to the City of Kalispell including water and wastewater design, water quality modeling and permitting, and rate/impact fee studies. As we move into our 20th year of service, we look forward to the opportunity to provide another service... SCADA design and implementation. Our goal is to provide a technically experienced team that leverages our knowledge of the City's water system and process to create a world -class SCADA system. Three years ago, we opened an office in Butte with the sole purpose of providing local SCADA expertise to our Montana clients. This, combined with the recent transfer of Trey Morris from our HDR Gig Harbor, WA office to Missoula, has allowed us to grow our SCADA services in Butte, Billings, Helena, Bozeman, Hamilton, Columbia Falls, Townsend, Philipsburg, and Superior, MT. The work we have completed for other Montana communities includes working on and programming SCADA systems including PLCs, radios, HMIs, and OITs, experience that is all applicable to this project. The elements of our approach includes three distinct phases: ■ Tackling the complex task of understanding user and system requirements, what works well, and what needs development is the focus of the assessment and area where the greatest understanding is achieved. HDR's SCADA professionals will facilitate workshops with the goal of establishing clear stake -holder requirements, system limitations/ challenges, and areas where best -practices offer opportunity for improvements. ■ Design: Using a pre -purchase strategy, the City could potentially save tens of thousands of dollars on contractor markups. While the equipment will ultimately be installed in control panels, network racks, and field locations, delivering it to HDR's offices for programming and configuration in advance allows for fully tested programs to be installed and demonstrated to the City prior to deployment. • Implementation: The City will want to consider presenting the HMI graphics in a way that not only clearly informs operations on current status but also implements elements of predictive control and highlights potential areas of concern or impending problems for operators. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the City's relationship with Devin Bucher. HDR also has a long-term relationship working with Devin and requested that Devin be a part of our team. Understandably, Devin decided to remain neutral in terms of this specific pursuit. However, we recognize that Devin will continue to support the City's SCADA improvements and on -going maintenance. As a result, we are committed to including Devin in any part of the project that the City deems important from evaluation of future equipment to design review to training. As we have demonstrated over the past 19 years, HDR is committed to doing what is best for the City. We would like to thank you for the opportunity to showcase our SCADA qualifications and approach to your project and look forward to the opportunity to continue to work for you. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Trey Morris, our proposed Project Manager, at 406.532.3902 or melvan.morris,--hdrinc.com. We highly value our partnership with you. Be assured that every action we take is in your best interest. Sincerely, HDR Engineering, Inc.

Experience Providing SCADA System Upgades for Communities of 10,000 or More SCADA Master Plan and Design Phase Long Beach Water Department I Long each, CA Key Staff: Bruce Johnston, Trey Morris Long Beach Water Department (LBWD) needed to upgrade and modernize its process control system (PCS) for all of its SCADA facilities. These included the groundwater treatment plant and 73 remote sites that monitor and control sewer lift stations, wells, Metropolitan Water District (MW D) water supplies, reclaimed sites, tank farms, and a booster station. HDR prepared a SCADA master plan that guided the modernization effort and developed a cost-effective strategy for upgrading LBWD's PCS system. H DR developed a description of the current state of the SCADA system installed at the LBWD facilities, including the current condition of the hardware at remote sites, radio equipment, PLCs, CAD drawings, documents, staff resources, and other pertinent information. Then through focused interviews and stakeholder workshops, HDR helped LEWD formulate its business and technical requirements and developed a SCADA system vision for future upgrades and enhancements. Based on these requirements, HDR conducted a gap analysis and developed a road map for implementation of an updated SCADA system. A set of integrated projects designed to move LBWD from the current state of the SCADA system to the desired future state was recommended based on prioritization criteria developed by the LBWD core team, with assistance from the HDR team. HDR was subsequently retained to design the implementation of the first phase of the SCADA upgrade. This included construction sequencing to keep the existing system operating while the Phase 1 upgrade was implemented. HDR also provided services during construction. Butte -Silver Bow SCADA Services City -County at Butte -silver bow, i butte, MT Key Staff: Joe Mullaney, Josh Wiley On -call SCADA Maintenance Support H DR is supporting Butte with troubleshooting and fixing problems for the SCADA system and other control -related items.

Key Staff: Trey Morris, Bruce Johnston HDR provided engineering design services to upgrade their existing radio telemetry system for the Water Distribution System. The upgrades to the telemetry system provided the ability to monitor the status of the water distribution system remotely. The new telemetry hardware was integrated into the SCADA system that was installed as part of the Water Filtration Facility (WFF) project and upgraded in 2013. The previous telemetry system was built on AutoCon BTUs. The upgraded system included Alien -Bradley PLCs. This project upgraded seven remote sites and integrated the whole system with the existing WFF SCADA system. This upgrade provided a modernized control system with a user-friendly interface, Water Supply, Treatment, and Distribution SCADA Upgrade City of Walla Walla, WA Key Staff: Trey Morris, Bruce Johnston The Walla Walla water system underwent a complete SCADA upgrade including seven well sites, the headworks, main plant, and other distribution sites. Our proposed Project Manager, Trey Morris, was responsible for contracting and review of the radio survey needed to migrate the City from the currently used leased line systems, and design for the whole upgrade to redundant HMI servers. City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades F)l SCADA Experience H DR's SCADA professionals have extensive experience in a variety of key areas identified in the RFP. Control System and Control Panel Design. All the identified projects had aspects of control system and control panel design. HDR employs two distinct approaches to these tasks that leverages the talents of our engineers and the contractors we work with. When designing control systems, we identify all the critical process inputs needed to effectively control and monitor the systems, and then working closely with process engineers, clients and experts, develop a control system that connects the physical world to our SCADA vision. Designing control panels that network together either over hardwire or radio, or stand-alone as needed, we layout the internal and external major components, perform heat load calculations, and ensure a constructible design is presented for the contractor. Specifications, loop diagrams, control power diagrams, motor control schematics, and control block diagrams are all part of communicating the design in a way that will yield meaningful submittals from our selected contractors. If partnering with a panel shop, we will typically show more detail on our drawings, and rely on our relationships with the panel shop to hone the design into shop drawing quality for construction. Control System Networking and Telemetry (including Radio. Often in the business of water and wastewater, systems are controlled remotely and large treatment plants require extensive control networks in order to effectively control the systems in a truly integrated way. Our representative projects presented include network design and telemetry by their very nature. As discussed later in this document, cybersecurity and configuration to balance remote access with hardened networking is a critical component. Moreover, balancing these needs with bandwidth, reliability, and durability are often the III. COMPANY QUALIFICATIONS HDR currently has 25 years of operation in Montana and 19 years of service to the City. Company's History in the Industry Our proposed staff have successfully completed many similar SCADA projects throughout Montana for Billings, Helena, Columbia Falls, and Butte -Silver Bow, and have performed many SCADA upgrades throughout the United States. Kalispell's issues and our experience makes us uniquely qualified to assist the City in completing this critical project. With this level of experience, the City will benefit from the most cost-effective, innovative solutions to meet current and future needs. Our team has been at the forefront of SCADA design, upgrades, and master planning throughout Montana and the western United States and are prepared to tackle difficult technical challenges such as optimizing radio telemetry, cybersecurity, and establishing system wide standards. key elements of the design driving hardware selection. HDR has extensive experience performing and interpreting radio path studies, configuring control networks using commercial off the shelf technologies, and setting up firewalls, Virtual Private Networks, and DMZs as needed to keep the SCADA System operational and safe from hackers. Programmable Logic Controllers (specific to Allen Bradley Micrologix). The Micrologix platform lends itself to small applications and telemetry. Often well sites will incorporate a Micrologix and in our representative projects, many of our identified control systems include a variety of PLCs with Micrologix featured in Piedmont, Walla Walla, Central Wyoming, and St. Helens. Our engineers have programmed Micrologix in many other projects including Butte-Silverbow systems. Operator Interface Terminals (specific to PanelView Plus). PanelView Plus OITs have been around the control industry for many years, and have been programmed by our engineers through several generations of the interface. Recent projects represented above and others not specifically listed have used PanelViews and required configuration by HDR engineers. All the engineers selected for the Kalispell SCADA team have experience using FactoryTalk software to program PanelViews. Human Machine Interface (HM0 programming specific to Wonderware System Platform. H DR's stable of System Platform engineers extends beyond the selected team, so with the added benefit of national expertise, Josh Wiley and Pavol Segedy are fully capable of integrating System Platform over a wide variety of applications with PLCs from multiple vendors. Additionally, we have experience configuring Win911 and other alarm management/reporting software with System Platform as this is critical to managing the performance of any SCADA system. H DR recently provided critical SCADA design services to Central Wyoming Regional Water System, where we identified critical radio design issues and worked closely with a sub consultant to provide frequency spectrum sweeps at each radio site and identify interference levels from radios outside the City's network. The measured Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at each radio determined the RF power transmission efficiency. This, coupled with signal strength analysis and 3D modeling, allowed us to recommend a network configuration that reduced the polling times by up to 90% from 5-15 minutes down to approximately 90 seconds! Certificates and Licenses Held by HDR in MT Our key staff hold Montana Professional Engineering licenses (Trey's application is pending reciprocity). Additionally, HDR has a Certificate of Authority in the State of Montana, No. PEL- EF-LIC-29. 4 City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades F)l Experience of Key Staff Trey Morris PE I Project Manager • 27 years of experience in automation and electrical engineering, including PLC and HMI setup and programming. • Automation experience spans multiple industries encompassing industrial and building systems, SCADA networks, PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, radios, control panel manufacture, and complex troubleshooting. • Experience performing assessments, studies, design, programming, configuration, start-up, testing, and commissioning for a wide range of projects.

IV. CONTRACT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH Our goal is to provide a technically experienced team that leverages our knowledge of the City's processes to promote a world -class SCADA system. Our primary technical team has more than 120 years of combined industry experience with a wealth of technical knowledge. Additionally our Principal in Charge has extensive project experience with Kalispell Is programs and personnel. HDR's core values promote building and maintaining strong relationships with our clients. Therefore, we will be leveraging Craig Caprara's understanding of the City's processes and challenges to make sure that the team works together to continue our strong and fasting relationship. Some of the most complex challenges faced today in SCADA systems hinges around cybersecurity while maintaining flexibility for remote access. HDRIs a cybersecurity section focuses on the daunting task of mitigating exposure to the seemingly unlimited world of cybersecurity threats, and we will take full advantage of this group's expertise. Bruce and Pavol have extensive knowledge in cybersecurity, and will define requirements for the SCADA upgrade with a keen balance of communications and network security while making sure industry best -practices are in place to thwart hostile actors. 509 Project objectives. We have reviewed Attachment A carefully, which establishes a core Scope of Work needed to accomplish the requested Water System SCADA Upgrade. Referring to the graphic shown Process at right, the project will focus control on all five phases of the system system development and construction .- specifically including the following elements: ASSESSMENT PHASE Holistic assessment of current system hardware, software and operations Development of SCADA alternatives using state-of- the-art technologies with emphasis on cybersecurity structures and communications reliability Evaluation, ranking, and recommendation of alternatives including cost basis, capabilities analysis, and user requirements DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION PHASE • Prepare design and bid documents • Act as integrator providing programming, implementation assistance, testing, and commissioning • Project close-out including O&M Manuals and training Holistic Assessment Knowing where you've been and leveraging experience from lessons learned is as critical as understanding future goals and where you plan to be in not just 1 year, but 10, 20, or more. HDR approaches existing system assessments with an eye towards not just what is in place now, but what may be needed as the City's population grows or geographic areas change. We begin with a comprehensive survey and assessment of existing and planned infrastructure, while documenting the operational concepts and challenges. Tackling the complex task of understanding user and system requirements, what works well, and what needs development is the focus of the assessment and area where the greatest understanding is achieved. HDR's SCADA professionals will facilitate workshops with the goal of establishing clear stake- holder requirements, system limitations/challenges, and areas where best -practices offer opportunity for improvements. This is done by interviewing each member of Kalispell f s water team, including external partners, with open ended questions, which allow individuals to expand their thoughts into problem statements separately. Then, we bring the group together to discuss common themes, shed biases, and understand overarching needs throughout the management, operations, and maintenance groups. This collaborative approach allows all stake -holders to invest in the process of establishing clear performance indicators for the SCADA system while HDR experts weigh-in on technical issues, and fosters team focused energy towards solutions that meet all of these needs. City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades )I Coming together in carefully planned workshops generates trust, camaraderie, and synergy with the team, and the final deliverable in the end is the decision matrix used to evaluate our new SCADA system. By harnessing the power of our team, the SCADA system criteria represents the best -in -class system which meets the City's needs exactly. Develop SCADA Alternatives Evaluation of SCADA systems requires solid experience in all facets of planning, design, implementation, operation and maintenance, and the HDR team in conjunction with Kalispell's experts, together meet this need. At the core of any evaluation are certain attributes that must always be considered: flexibility, scalability, reliability, support (vendor and integrator), user friendliness, and cost. As a backbone to the matrix, we use these core elements and include the team decision matrix combined into a powerful tool used to objectively examine alternatives and arrive at clear SCADA options. Additional categories within each attribute will be considered including: communications, data processing, overall system control, and security. Adhering closely to the evaluation criteria as a basis for design, HDR will identify alternatives for consideration by the team and make the first pass of evaluating each option against the decision matrix and use this as a baseline for further discussion. During the evaluation phase, HDR's national pool of experts will weigh in to ensure the latest successfully deployed technologies are considered, while balancing this against the desirable attributes identified by the earlier process. Evaluation, Ranking, and Alternative Selection Given the complexity of the evaluation process, alternatives will be delivered to the team for individual evaluations in conjunction with HDR's baseline. Coming together again as a team, we will meet to discuss the pros and cons of each alternative, share the team members' evaluations, and push towards a consensus in the group for our new SCADA basis of design. Consensus may not be achieved in one setting, and senior managers may need to be the deciding vote in some cases, but overall, this process sets the final Basis of Design as a significant milestone and launches our team into the Design and Implementation Phase. Ultimately, by arriving at a Design Basis, we have achieved approximately 30% of a hardware and software standard, and if desired, HDR can expand on the deliverables to produce additional standards documents for the City. These standards have the ability to stand alone for future expansions, and allows the City to reap additional benefits from our assessment and evaluation process. Design Documents Once we have selected the architecture, components, and software, HDR will prepare a design that brings the SCADA vision to life. our design team has decades of experience developing drawings and specifications that clearly define the City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades F)l scope of construction, and layout a plan for implementation that is logically systematic. Upgrading a SCADA system is a complex task that requires close coordination between the integrator, city, and contractor. Our design specifications will establish windows of opportunity for manual operation where appropriate and minimize outages. In addition, we carefully mitigate risk throughout the course of construction by defining proposed sequences up front with City personnel. Given the nature of the upgrade, it is likely that a radio study will be required to ensure the final design features robust communications between remote sites and the central SCADA HMi. In this event HDR will prepare a scope document for a certified radio study complete with path analysis to establish the best radio options including antenna heights and orientation for the telemetry system. This task will be subcontracted to a third -party not specific to any one radio vendor. Additionally, after carefully selecting our desired hardware and software in the alternative selection phase of the project, HDR, at the City's option, can prepare a pre -purchase specification for PLC and HMI hardware and software. Using a pre -purchase strategy, the City could potentially save tens of thousands of dollars on contractor markups. While the equipment will ultimately be installed in control panels, network racks, and field locations, delivering it to HDR's offices for programming and configuration in advance allows for fully tested programs to be installed and demonstrated to the City prior to deployment. During preliminary design, HDR will work out the orientation, elevations, and support requirements for all equipment installed as part of this contract. While this step may seem trivial to a casual observer, often the decision to locate equipment in certain orientations, lends to more efficiently staged system cutovers and by its nature, mitigates service disruptions and downtime. At this stage, control panels will be designed to show basic layouts of internal devices, calculate heat loads, and feeders to the panels will be coordinated. We believe in using the best in technology to clearly demonstrate contract requirements, and as such, will include photos in the design documents to assist the contractor during the bid and construction. All required calculations per the National Electrical Code will be performed to ensure the installation is 100% code compliant. Following a two -week review period, we plan to conduct an over -the -shoulder review workshop with the City and stakeholders to efficiently address the City's comments and launch the project into the Final Design phase. During final design, HDR resolves any conflicts in orientation or design, validates, calculations, and conducts a final walkthrough of the design on -site to verify that all existing conditions affecting the new SCADA system are accounted for. Most importantly, we perform an internal quality assurance and constructability review that examines project details and teases out any areas requiring additional clarification. As we have done many times before, we will coordinate with the City's contracting personnel, and assist in development of the front end documents, preparing the project for bid. IMPLEMENTATION HDR is committed to assisting the City in selections of the lowest responsible bidder and evaluating the bids. Upon selecting the bidder and awarding the contract, HDR will begin the implementation phase of our work. The goal of implementation is to construct the hardware and supporting devices, while programming and configuring the brains of the SCADA system, factory testing, deployment and commissioning. PLC and HMI Programming Because of the nature of the water distribution facilities and the criticality of this service, the City will want to consider presenting the HMI graphics in a way that not only clearly informs operations on current status but also implements elements of predictive control and highlights potential areas of concern or impending problems for operators. We will work closely with the City during workshops to align the new HMI with the globally recognized standard for HMI development: ISA-101. This standard defines the best industry practices to develop and establish a consistent approach to effective HMI development and implementation. By applying this standard, the City can expect a more effective user interface and a safer operating environment. It allows operators to improve their situational awareness. They will be able to see firsthand how the system is performing holistically, and make informed control decisions. HDR team will develop SCADA screens that enhance operators' experience and improve their overall understanding of how the system operates at all levels: regional, local, and device. As we develop the HMI, we generally apply a zoom-in/zoom-out approach to graphics and HMI graphics management. With this in mind, we start at the device level first and, once these are showing the needed information, we start to zoom out and the level of detail needed at the next level becomes evident. In this way, we eventually arrive at an overall system map that displays critical operating data and alarms without compromising the ability of the user to zoom in (drill down) to the details when something is awry. Alarm management is vital to a world -class HMI, and often is developed by exception, which can create situations where multiple alarms are present for only one abnormal condition. H DR appreciates that the best and most effective response to an alarm is based on a strong understanding of the root cause of the indications and what is presented on the HMI screens. We use this as a basis for alarm analysis that predicts alarm conditions to lead an operator to the right answer the first time. This saves time and minimizes rework. An example of this might be a torque switch, followed by motor overcurrent, followed by a motor overload. All these indicate that a high torque condition caused the motor to overload, but an operator may not catch the subtle connection immediately and, knowing that resetting the motor overload relay is easiest City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades )I to correct, may do this first only to find that the motor's shaft is actually jammed and requires mechanical intervention. This issue could have been solved immediately if the alarm management triaged the alarms and identified the torque switch was the first, critical alarm. Another common alarm management issue that often causes cascaded problems is operators silencing or disabling alarms because of nuisance tripping. H DR approaches this issue by ensuring that every alarm matters. We set warning levels on systems so that operators can have an effect on the outcome before the system experiences the alarm but, when the alarm comes in, it needs real attention. One of the greatest benefits of having a SCADA system is the capture of historical data for analysis and reporting. HDR will work closely with the City's engineering, operations, and management team to define what data needs to be kept and how to present that data efficiently. This would include trending within SCADA, regulatory reports, and process management reports. This data would then be fed back into the system to help optimize control in the future. PLC programming will closely follow control strategies developed during the Design Phase, and embracing programming standards used on HDR projects throughout the country, we will develop programs that push autonomy down to the individual controller level as much as possible, while retaining the ability to invoke regional control over setpoints and processes. As an example, we may program a well controller to operate when called from a master system over the telemetry radio, and in the event of communication loss, it will continue to run (if already on) for a set period of time or until a locally sensed system event such as flow or pressure variation indicates a need to shutdown the pump. This gives operations personnel time to address the communications loss and take action in the field to ensure the water distribution system is still operating and delivering water to customers. Network Communications HDR will collaborate on alignment with City IT to determine and outline the communication standards ensuring adherence with City cybersecurity policies and leveraging best practices for cybersecurity. When working on network standards, cybersecurity is a critical topic to outline and coordinate from the beginning. HDR will apply our knowledge and experience with cybersecurity to this project to identify the most cost- effective technical solutions. We will then work with City IT staff to ensure that all stakeholders share the same understanding and expectations. As with any cybersecurity implementation, there will always be risks. HDR's designs mitigate these risks while considering the City's risk tolerance, budget, and support staff's skill set. There is always a hybrid solution that provides sufficient protection and allows the promise of the global SCADA network to be realized. Ultimately, operators need to be able to view all locations and effect change at all sites to manage the whole system without fear of outside bad actors impacting the system. We build our and networks with redundancy to minimize the impact of any system upsets. As with cybersecurity, we will balance the City's tolerance for risk, budget, and process criticality to determine the appropriate level of redundancy to build into the network. Often our clients develop a different standard for different types of sites. For instance, a well may not be as critical as a reservoir or booster station and would require less redundancy. These details will be discussed during our workshops. Coordination with IT will be necessary to clarify responsibilities between City departments. This coordination will define network configuration and identify whom will perform active monitoring on firewall and other security devices. Security is typically a complex team effort within any organization. H DR's engineers with Network+ certifications ensures that we can pull in a team member who can implement functional networks including configuring network devices. Commissioning H DR's team members know and appreciate the intricate challenges that arise during this time and will bring to bear the team's considerable experience to help make commissioning run as smoothly as possible. H DR will review and provide edits to the contractor's commissioning plan. These typically include complete device and input/output (1/0) lists. During commissioning, each of the devices' operations will be verifed from the feld to the HMI. HDR's programming team will be on site to support this effort and make sure any issues that arise are either dealt with directly or logged into a database to be addressed later. This task will require significant coordination with all the stakeholders for this project. Training and Project Close Out HDR will facilitate various types of training throughout the project lifetime. Initially, we define the training plan to incorporate the City's unique needs and ensure that we provide the most valuable training for City staff. Early on in the project, HDR will facilitate a training workshop to define the needs of the project team. We will build on these foundations during the construction contract and help the City manage complementary training sessions through that contract. This training plan will include hands-on workshops to allow operators to gain a real understanding of the SCADA system and its operations. Typically done at key milestones during the project, these workshops are a critical component of the success of the project. These not only allow the City to gain experience with the system as it is being developed, but they also allow HDR to capture the thoughts and concerns of the operators before the system goes live. Additionally, HDR has the ability to leverage our relationships with numerous vendors and bring in technical training sessions for specific devices. HDR completes the project by preparing conformed sets of O&M manuals for the City's use. With the advent of electronic document storage and the advantages of this 8 City of Kalispell Water System SCADA Upgrades F)l method, HDR no longer prints hardcopies of 0&M manuals unless specifically requested. Rather, we deliver a fully bookmarked and searchable document to the client for use on the HMI computers, engineering workstations, or any computer requiring access to the 0&M. V.

His experience includes project management, design, and construction administration of a wide range of multi -million dollar advanced wastewater treatment plant projects; sewer system conveyance and pumping projects; and water, sewer, and storm drainage utility planning. Relevant Experience City of Kalispell, Kalispell Water Model Update HDR has provided multiple updates of the City of Kalispell's WaterCAD model, incorporating current water system extensions, wells, and tanks. These updates have provided the City with a model that can used to perform accurate system evaluation for development requests and large water system project. The model was also converted to an EPAnet modeling format and provided to the City so their staff can utilize EPAnet for smaller water projects, requested fire flow analyses, and internal water system analyses. City of Kalispell, optimization Study H DR developed a facility optimization study for the Kalispell AWWTP based on the requirements of MDEQ Circular DEQ 12-B and the City's MPDES permit. The City of Kalispell is one of the first municipalities in Montana to receive a general variance and, as such, is one of the first to perform an optimization study under Circular DEQ-12B. The optimization study evaluated current operations in order to reduce the discharge of nutrients from the facility. Per Circular DEQ-12B, the optimization study included optimizations that only address changes to existing facilities, should not result in substantial investment, and must consider nutrient trading. City of Kalispell, Biosolids Management Plan HDR is reviewing the City's current biosol ids handling methods, providing alternative methods, and developing a long-term vision and direction for the City's biosolids management. City of Kalispell, Utility Comprehensive Plan Update HDR assisted the City of Kalispell in defining a comprehensive regional plan for extending water, sewer, and stormwater service to the boundary of the planning jurisdiction. A significant utility planning effort was completed in 2002 with the City of Kalispell Water, Sewer ,and Storm Drainage Systems Facility Plan. This work effort reviewed and updated where necessary and built upon information and findings presented in the Facility Plan. City -County of Butte -Silver Bow, Basin Creek Water Treatment Plant Design HDR provided water filtration and disinfection design services for the new Basin Creek WTP. The facility uses a cutting edge ceramic membrane filtration system which is the first of its kind to be installed in the United States. The Basin Creek WTP includes a recovery skid designed to filter the backwash waste from the process and resulting in an overall 99.95% production capability. The CIP interval for the ceramic filters installed at Basin Creek is every 6 months. This means that chemical use is decreased, operation staff labor is cut, and energy use associated with heating chemicals and pumping is reduced by 1/6th over conventional systems. one of the objectives of this project was to operate by gravity to the greatest extent possible. The site was selected based on a hydraulic analysis that allowed placement of the membrane equipment to be at the perfect elevation to accomplish that goal. The Basin Greek WTP is unique in that it operates as an on -demand system. Staff does not make decisions about how much water to treat in order to meet demand but rather demand itself sets the flow rate through the WTP at any given moment.
