ATTACHMENT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Butler Creek Interceptor Upgrade - West; PROJECT NO.: 60106
The project involves the upgrade of an approximate 20,500 foot segment of the existing Butler Creek
Interceptor beginning on the south side of Drayton, on the dbwnstream end, and ending on the north
side of Gordon Highway (US HWY 78/278). The upgrades will connect to the existing 30-inch diameter
interceptor sewer at each end.
Upgrades will involve the following beginning at the downstream end of the project and commencing
upstream:
1) Upgrade of approximately 6,600 feet of existing IS-inch interceptor and 5,800 feet of existing 18-inch
interceptor beginning south of Drayton Drive on the downstream end of the project and ending at the
discharge of the existing force mains. (Note: The exact nature of this upgrade - total replacement with
30-inch DIP replacement or a combination of new force main and gravity sewer (existing andlor new)
will be defined as determined in the Study Phase of the engineering services);
2) Upgrade of the existing lift station and existing 600-foot segment of parallel6-fuch and 10-inch force
main; and
3) Upgrade. of approximately 7,500 feet of 18-inch gravity interceptor with 30-inch diameter ductile iron
'pipe beginning at the existing lift station to a point of tie-in with the 30-inch interceptor sewer located on.
. the north side of Gordon Highway (US HWY 78/278) at the end of project.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES: Implement interceptor upgrades as recommended in previous Owner studies
to eliminate an approximate 20,SOO-foot segment of hydraulically deficient pipe.
The proposed engineering services will be accomplished in two phases as follows:
1) Study Phase - The Study Phase that will develop and evaluate at least two viable options to upgrade
the lower 12,400-foot segment interceptor and make recommendations for the method of upgrade
beginning at the upstream extent of existing 30-inch diameter interceptor sewer located immediately
south of Drayton Drive and ending at the discharge of the multiple force mains.
2) Design Phase - The Design Phase Services involves design to implement upgrade recommendations
from the Study Phase and previous studies to the existing interceptor sewer including upgrading the
existing sanitary lift station.

DESIGN CONDITIONS:
1) The CITY will provide the CONSULT ANT with projected flow data as is available from previous
studies for design input necessary for the following:
a. Project sanitary flow data from present to end of design period to include minimum
and peak flows tributary to the existing lift station. The design flow data shall
include anticipated sanitary flow from the City of Grovetown. This information will
be used as the design basis for the lift station upgrade and the development and
evaluation of alternatives during the study phase.
b. Projected sanitary flow data for the design period for the area tributary to the lower
12,400-foot segment of interceptor excluding the sanitary flow tributary to the
existing lift station. This information will be used to during the study phase in the
development and evaluation of alternatives.
c. Projected sanitary flow data for the design period for all upstream areas tributary to
the connection to the existing 30" interceptor sewer located immediately south of
Drayton Drive.
2) The CITY will provide the CONSULTANT with available GPS data on the existingButler Creek
Interceptor within the project area.
3) Proposed Additional Services:
a. The proposed environmental service covers impacts that will only require a USACE
Nationwide Permit. If additional impacts are proposed such that the impacts to
jurisdictional waters exceed the maximum requirements of the Nationwide Permit for
either USACE or GA EPD, an individual permit may be required and additional services
may be necessary to complete the individual permit application package. If additional
services are required for an individual permit, the CONSULT ANT will notify the CITY
regarding additional fees necessary before proceeding further.
b. The proposed Total Basic Professional Services includes impacts that can be constructed
within the conditions stated in GA Code 12-7-6(b) (15) with regards to
encroachment of stream buffers of state waters for sewer lines. If impacts of stream buffers
of state waters by sewer lines exceed the limits of these conditions, a variance for buffer
encroachment may be required and additional services may be necessary to prepare a
complete, approvable variance application package for submittal to GA EPD. If additional
services are required for a variance, the CONSULT ANT will notify the CITY regarding
additional fees necessary before proceeding further.

Creek Interceptor beginning on the south side of Drayton, on the downstream end, and ending. '
on the north side of Gordon Highway (US HWY 78/278). The upgrades will connect to the
existing 30-inch diameter interceptor sewer at each end. .
Upgrades will involve the, following beginning at the downstream end of the project and
commencing upstream:
1. Upgrade of approximately 6,600 feet of existing 15-inch interceptor and
5,800 feet of existing 18-inch interceptor beginning south of Drayton Drive
on the downstream end of the project and ending at the discharge of the
existing force mains. (Note: The exact nature of this upgrade - total
replacement with 30-inch DIP replacement or a combination of new force
main and gravity sewer (existing andlor new) will be defined as
determined in the Study Phase of the engineering services);
2. Upgrade of the existing lift station and existing 600-foot segment of parallel 6-
inch and 10-inch force main; and
3. Upgrade of approximately 7,SOO-feet of 18-inch gravity interceptor with 30-inch
diameter ductile iron pipe beginning at the existing lift station to a point of tie-
in with the 30-inch interceptor sewer located on the north side of Gordon
Highway (US HWY 78/278) at the end of project.
B. DESIGN OBJECTIVES: Implement interceptor upgrades as recommended in previous CITY

upgrade recommendations from the Study Phase and previous studies to the
existing interceptor sewer including upgrading the existing sanitary lift station.
c
DESIGN CONDITIONS:
1. The CITY will provide the CONSULTANT with projected flow data as is available from
previous studies for design input necessary for the following:
a. Project sanitary flow data from present to end of design period to
include minimum and peak flows tributary to the existing lift station.
The design flow data shall include anticipated sanitary flow from the
City of Grovetown. This information: will be us~d as the design basis for
the lift station. upgrade and the development and evaluation of
alternatives during the study phase. .
b. Projected sanitary flow data for the design period for the area tributary
to the lower 12,400-footsegment of iriterceptor excluding the sanitary
flow tributary to the existing lift station. This information will be used
to during the study phase in the development and evaluation of
alternatives.
c. Projected sanitary flow data for the design period for all upstream areas
tributary to the connection to the existing 30" interceptor sewer located
immediately south of Drayton Drive.
2. The CITY will provide the CONSULTANT with available GPS data on the existing Butler
Creek Interceptor within the project area.
3. Proposed Additional Services:
a. The proposed environmental service covers impacts that will only require a
USACE Nationwide Permit. If additional impacts are proposed such that the
impacts to jurisdictional waters exceed the maximum requirements of the
Nationwide Permit for either USACE or GA EPD, an individual permit may be
required and additional services may be necessary to complete the individual
permit application package. If additional services are required for an individual
permit, the CONSULT ANT will notify the CITY regarding additional fees
