Work in Section III of this Agreement describes the analysis that will be performed to detennine the feasibility and possible terms and conditions of future agreements. III. SCOPE OF WORD The scope of work to be performed by the PARTIES as a part of the Agreement shall include: a. MNWD will prepare a preliminary design analysis of the necessary infrastructure required to provide an emergency interconnection at the CITY East Station facility as identified in the Tetra Tech Conveyance Study (exhibit 1). The preliminary design will identify and size the infrastructure to deliver up to 14 cubic feet per second ("cfs") during qualifying emergency conditions and the potential water quality implications associated with reversing flows within the CITY's system and will perform a system- wide hydraulic model analysis. The infrastructure shall include, but is not limited to, production wells, treatment facilities, pump stations, pressure regulating facilities, connection to the EOCF#2, and any additional facilities required to maintain service to the CITY's existing customers when the INTERCONNECTION is operational. The preliminary design will also review the operating conditions and recommended operating protocols for utilizing the infrastructure under normal operating conditions and emergency conditions. b. MNWD will perform an environmental review of the proposed facilities based on the preliminary design analysis. The proposed environmental review will include the development of an initial study and/or Environmental Impact Report, as well as any other appropriate CEQA documents, including a mitigation monitoring and reporting program if necessary. Further, the environmental review and CEQA process will identify any necessary permits required to implement the proposed INTERCONNECTION. c. MNWD will develop two Request for Proposals ("RFPs") for the work described in paragraphs III.a and III.b above. The PARTIES will review the proposals and develop a joint recommendation, should they agree, for consideration of award of professional service contracts. If collectively agreed to by the PARTIES, the work described in paragraphs III.a and IILb above may be combined into a single RFP and professional service contract. d. The PARTIES will work with the Municipal Water District of Orange County ("MWDOC") and the other agencies responsible for the operation and maintenance of the EOCF#2 to identify the operational challenges to MNWD utilizing the EOCF#2 under emergency conditions and work to develop mitigations or solutions to address those operational challenges identified as part of the preliminary design. e. MNWD agrees to provide all funding required to perform the scope of work and related RFPs identified as a part of this Agreement, including reasonable CITY staff time, consultant fees, and legal counsel review of the scope of work deliverables and related RFPs.
