CASE UWI-04-
FOURTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Recordholder/Sponsoring Witness:Scott Rhead
Telephone: [phone]
Title: Managing Engineer
REQUEST NO. 120:
UWI stated in its response to Staff Production Request No.1 0 that it expects that
the CWTP will be fully operational by the end of March 2005. However, the
1/29/04 Amendment to the COM contract includes a date of June 1 , 2005 for
commencement of the 30-day facility test and a date of July 1 , 2005 for
Substantial Completion. Does UWI expect that it will need treated water from the
CWTP to serve customers before July 1 , 2005? If not, why did UWI agree to an
early completion bonus?
RESPONSE NO. 120:
The specific timing of when higher water demand occurs each year is primarily
affected by weather. The specific timing is difficult to predict but certainly
summer demand is well underway by June. The original project schedule
anticipated the CWTP would be on-line for the 2004 summer season but for
reasons previously discussed this was not possible. It is also prudent
management and proper engineering design to have the required additional
supply from the CWTP available just ahead of the demand to ensu re that the
demand can be satisfied. The Company also needed to plan for su pply
redundancy in the event of a failure on one of the wells at the Ten Mile Ridge
complex as is further discussed in my direct testimony on page 10, lines 1-11.
Another benefit of an early completion bonus was to reduce overall costs. The
Company estimates a cost of $5,000 to $6 000 per day for COM to remain on
site. The net effect of providing an early completion bonus saves the project and
our customers $1 500-$2,500 per day for each day of early completion.

Title: Managing Engineer
REQUEST NO. 130:
Please provide a final site layout plan for the CWTP. The plan should reflect the
project layout as it is actually being constructed and should clearly show all of the
major facilities and processes being employed. The plan should also identify
locations and space that is part of the original construction but that is designed
for future expansion and will not initially be used. The plan should also identify
(unbuilt) locations and space that is intended for future expansion or for
processes that may need to be employed in the future.
RESPONSE NO. 130:
Please find attached sheets C-4 and M-2, which are responsive to this request.
Future expansion of the building, backwash basin , clearwell and acquifer storage
and recovery (ASR) site is identified on sheet C-4. In the Companies view it was
prudent and cost effective to acquire enough land for expansion. Conditional use
and zoning approvals required perimeter buffering, fencing and access that
would have been very difficult to revise at a later date. Because of the industrial
nature of the facility and neighborhood compatibility the county planners strongly
advised the Company to get build-out approvals now and keep any future
construction inside of the fence.

FOURTH PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Aecordholder/Sponsoring Witness:Scott Ahead
Telephone: [phone]
Title: Managing Engineer
REQUEST NO. 131:
What assurance can UWI provide to its customers and to the Com mission that by
using a "Design-Build, Cost plus Fixed Fee" contracting process that it obtained
the best value for customers? Given that the exact project design scope was not
fully agreed upon at the time proposals were submitted and that the Guaranteed
Maximum Price was not determined until the design was 650/0 com plete, how can
customers be assured that a different proposer could not have delivered a lower
overall cost project?
RESPONSE NO. 131:
Speculation about the outcome or price from a different contracting process or
proposer is impossible to precisely measure or even accurately predict without
building the project twice. The long-term benefits and "absolute" barrier provided
by membranes is the best available technology and is the right decision for the
customers now and in the future as determined by the Basis of Design Study.
United Water identified benefits to its customers from the Design-Build, Cost plus
Fixed Fee contracting approach. These benefits were discussed in Mr. Ahead'
direct testimony on page 16 , lines 14 to 23 and page 17, lines 1 to 8. The
Columbia WTP development process was structured to take advantage of these
benefits, while not committing United Water to the approach until the benefits
were demonstrated. As a first step, a qualified design-build team was selected,
with engineering and construction management rates and fixed fee established
through a competitive process.
Design development with United Water then proceeded, similar to a traditional
design-bid-build" approach, while keeping the final construction procurement
method open. With the design near completion , materials and construction bids
were competitively obtained. Only when United Water was convinced that all
aspects of the work (engineering, construction management, fee, materials,
construction , etc.) had been obtained at the lowest responsible cost, was a final
commitment to the Design-Build approach made. A Guaranteed Maximum Price
was obtained from the Design-Builder to lock in these cost benefits for United
Water s customers before notice to proceed with construction was given. The
benefits, methodology of the process and time saved has been further discussed
in responses to Request No.s 126 and 133 The prudence of this decision was
also discussed in testimony provided by Witness Wallace on page 5, lines 4
through 23 and page 6, lines 1 through 14.
It is the Company s position that the chosen contracting method provided the
necessary experience, schedule control and price competition to provide the
lowest realistic price for our customers.

Title: Managing Engineer
REQUEST NO. 132:
Please list and describe any tests required by DEQ or others that must be
passed before treated water from the CWTP can be delivered to customers.
Please provide a copy of any documentation showing completion of such tests.
RESPONSE NO. 132:
The clearwell (treated water storage tank) was placed in service June 15, 2004.
Prior to being placed in service, it was disinfected and passed bacteriological
testing (see attached lab confirmation dated June 7 2004).
DEQ also required that the final membrane system selected be successfully pilot
tested prior to startup and production of water. This test was completed between
May 20 and September23 , 2004, and the final report submitted to DEQ on Dec.
15, 2004 (see attached DEQ approval letter dated February 23, 2005).
Also attached is a letter written to DEQ March 2, 2005 detailing United Water
proposal to meet their requirements for the CWTP, as well as-their e-mail
response dated March 3, 2005.
The filtered water from the membrane system was tested for compliance with
USEPA drinking water quality standards for acute primary contaminants (see
attached lab confirmation dated March 4 2005).
The final step is to confirm that on-line monitoring equipment is functioning
properly and results e-mailed to DEQ with treated water only going into the
isolated clearwell. After receiving this confirmation (see attached DEQ approval
dated March 10) water can be released and delivered to customers. The full suite
of normal water quality parameters samples will follow over the next two weeks.

REQUEST NO. 201
Reference Witness Wyatt's testimony on page 18 regarding Order No. 29625
(Case No. UWI-04-3, Carriage Hill Subdivision). In response to the
Commission s directive to the Company ... to book the $28,138 amount originally
proposed as a risk premium distribution to United Waterworks as regulated
revenue to be passed through to customers in the Company s upcoming general
rate case" Mr. Wyatt states that amount of revenue will not be fully known until
sometime in December. Please provide an accounting of the transaction at
closing including how the Company recalculated the risk premium
RESPONSE NO. 201:
Please see the attached letter from United Water s counselor, Dean J. Miller, to
the Secretary of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, Ms. Jean Jewell dated
January 26 , 2005. As required by Order No. 29625 , the Company provided the
Commission with a final accounting of the proceeds received by United Water
Idaho in conjunction with the transfer. The regulated revenue originally estimated
to be $28,138 was reduced to $9,277 by the time the final accounting was
completed. The reason for the reduction of the regulated revenue is a
combination of three factors: higher than anticipated legal costs, additional
interest accrued and paid to United Waterworks due to a later than anticipated
closing date and higher than anticipated advance refunds to Carriage Hills due to
new connects prior to closing.

Report
Dear Mr. Wyatt:
The above referenced Pilot Study Report appears to meet State of Idaho standards and is conditionally approved
according to the Final Recommendations of the Report. Those recommendations are rephrased and augmented
below:
The plant capacity is currently rated at 6.0 mgd.
Monitor the Disinfectant By-Product formation and limit both chlorine, chlorine residual and residence
time to levels typical for the UWill system to prevent formation of THM:s and HAAs within the
distribution system. At the same time, both chlorine and residual and residence time must equal or exceed
what is required to provide 0.5 log of Giardia inactivation, based on tracer test results to be conducted
soon after the plant begins initial full scale operation. Based on the manufacturer s test data, the initial
efficiency of the chlorine contactor has been assumed to be 60%.
Use daily pressure decay test (a maximum decay rate of 0.8 to 1.0 psi/minute) to assure membrane
integrity, backed by online particle counters and individual skid turbidimeters as appropriate.
Please call Monty Marchus with any questions at [phone] or via e-mail mmarchus~deq.idaho.gov

Water Quality Testing
Re:
Dear Mr. Marchus
In order to comply with DEQ regulations and to ensure that safe and reliable water is provided
to our customers , we are proposing preliminary water quality testing on the membrane
permeate which will ensure that all acute toxicity contaminant test results have been received
and submitted for your review prior to water leaving our new facilities. These contaminants
include nitrate, nitrite, and total coliforms. In addition, we will provide a report containing
particle counts and turbidity for the raw water and membrane permeate, along with results of
pressure hold integrity tests for each membrane skid and treated water pH and chlorine
residual. All of these parameters will be confirmed to be within both regulated limits and the
limits identified in previous DEQ approval letters for this water treatment plant.
Water quality samples for the remainder of the regulated and monitored primary and secondary
parameters will be taken for the treated water within 24 hours of startup and will be sent off
for analysis at an outside laboratory. Historical water quality results from the Boise River
taken at our Marden Lane water treatment plant, indicate that none of these chronic toxicity
parameters exceed DEQ drinking water regulations in the untreated sourcewater. For this
reason, we do not feel it is necessary to confirm measurements of these parameters on the
treated water prior to serving the public. Water quality results for these parameters will be
reported to DEQ within two weeks of startup, after full analysis has been completed at the
testing laboratory. Please note that the membrane treatment process does not employ chemical
addition and will have no impact and any of these water quality parameters, with the exception
r of particulate iron and manganese, which will be removed by the membranes.
We are proposing this staggered reporting of test results in order to allow start-up of the
facility in a single day and to avoid wasting large quantities of treated water while the testing
samples are being analyzed. Note that we currently have no means of wasting large quantities
of water, other than through our stormwater system. Please confirm whether this testing and
reporting approach will be acceptable for DEQ. If we will need to modify this approach in any
:,,

way, please let us know as soon as possible, as we are still planning to begin preliminary plant
operation on March 7 or 8. We appreciate your time in reviewing this request, and look
forward to continuing to work with you during the plant startup and operation.

Chas and I reviewed your March 2, 2005 letter in which you offered a justification and
request to deviate from DEQ I S normal procedure of having test results for all regulated
contaminants from a new source prior to serving the public. We will approve the request
with the following conditions. All parties should respond immediately if I have not
captured the sequence events correctly. We have no problem with a delayed schedule
required so long as the same intent is met.
March 5. The membrane filters will be functional and a relatively small volume will be run
through them and discharged to the backwash basins. Samples for the acute contaminants of
nitrate, nitrite, and coliforms will be sent to a certified lab and the results sent to
our office for approval prior to serving the public.
March 9. The plant is expected to be fully operational, including all on-line monitoring
equipment (turbidity, particle counters, ORP, pH, etc.). The plant will be run long enough
(approximately 1/2 the clearwell) to verify that the membrane filters are fully functional
and have passed the USFilter integrity test protocol. Turbidity and particle count
information will be emailed to our office for acceptance before the plant is allowed to
begin permanent operation and water is released to the public. Similar to permanent
operation, the plant run will be modified or terminated if online testing shows that water
quali ty is not ready to be served to the public, including initial, partial filling of the
clearwell. The full suite of chemical tests will be taken during the initial run, sent to
a certified lab, and the results sent to our office for approval as soon as possible.
As discussed with Greg today, the performance and integrity testing information should be
emailed to both Steve Rae and me. If I am unavailable to review and approve the data on
the night of the 9th, Steve Rae will do it first thing in the morning on the 10th. His
number is 373-0162. Please also leave both of us voice mails when the data is sent
addi tional notification that the information is ready for review.
Please call with any questions.

Monty,
Attached are the initial test results, provided using the new IDEQ
reporting spreadsheet. We have also listed all of the water quality
resul ts below. The plant was operated for just over 1 hour last night
at 1,000 gpm. Water will remain in the clearwell until we receive final
approval from DEQ. Please note that the pressures listed under
Transmembrane Pressure on the DEQ form are actually the inlet and outlet
pressure to the skid with the highest transmembrane pressure. The
actual transmembrane pressure is the inlet pressure minus the outletpressure. Note also that we have left the contact time space blank on
the CT form, since the water has not yet been released from the
clearwell. The minimum contact time during 6 mgd plant operation and
minimum clearwell levels is 119 minutes. Here are the water quality
resul ts :
Raw water particles: 8, 556 particles /mL (2 -15 um range)
Membrane Permeate particles: 7 particles/mL (2-15 urn range)
Log removal: 3 . 1
Raw water turbidity: 4.2 ntu
Membrane permeate turbidity: 0.03 ntu
Treated water chlorine residual: 0.8 mg/L
Treated water temperature: 10.deg CTreated water pH: 7.
Membrane Permeate NO2-N
Membrane Permeate NO3 - N
Membrane Permeate Total
-c:: 0 . 1 mg / L
-c:: 0 . 2 mg / L
Coliform = Absence
This water quality meets all State and Federal regulations and is in
compliance with our condi tional approval for plant startup. United
Water would like to serve the public with this water by late morningtoday. please let us know if this will be acceptable, per the
requirements identified in your March 3 email titled "Columbia WTP

Source of Supply
Project No. C01 AO07 Cullen Monitoring Well
Drill Cullen monitoring well. Data from this site is important for tracking water level
changes in the upper end of the Barber service area. The monitoring well is an
important resource for checking water level changes at an area where recharge occurs
for the down gradient aquifers. It is part of the network of monitoring wells used to
define the general health of the aquifer system.
Project No. C02AO08 Maple Hills Well
This project is proposed for the drilling and equipping of a new well in the First Bench
Service Level with a projected capacity of 0.72 MGD. This additional capacity is
needed to meet increases in peak season demands resulting from new customer
growth and prevent deterioration in customer service pressures and fire protection
capacities in that area of the system. This well will be located on the site of the existing
Maple Hills Well
Project No. C02A102 Initial Butte Water Rights
This project is for the purchase of 9 248 acre-feet of the Initial Butte Snake River water
right. The addition of this water right, in combination with the previously acquired Wilson
right, will supply both the Marden and Columbia water treatment plants with sufficient
raw water to operate for 50 -70 days during peak season at the maximum rate of 46.
cfs (11 cfs - Wilson, 35.2 cfs - Initial Butte).
Project No. C03A101 Vault for Monitor Wells
This project is for the installation of vaults over two United Water monitoring wells at the
corner of State Street and N. Linder road. This work will involve cutting the casing to
allow below grade access and remove the above ground tripping hazard in the corner of
the soccer field were the wells are located.
Project No. C04D102 Surface Water Rights
This project is intended for the purchase of water rights, including natural flow rights,
shares in canal companies and storage water. Also included are the efforts necessary
to preserve, defend, and perfect existing water rights.
Project No. C05D104 Rehabilitate Ranney Collector #1
This project is for the recovery of capacity in Ranney Collector #1. The collector laterals
will be rehabilitated. The anticipated recovery of capacity is 350 GPM. The Ranney
Collectors provide riverbank filtration for river water entering the Marden WTP. The
Collectors provide an important, low-turbidity buffer during spring and early summer
high turbidity events on the Boise River.
Treatment
Project No. C98BOO1 Iron & Manganese Removal
This project is proposed for the construction of an Iron & Manganese removal pilot
plant. The costs cover design, construction, and consultant fees associated with the
development of operation procedures. Once the pilot plant is fully operational we intend
to perform the operations and analysis with company personal.
Project No. CO2BOO2 Columbia WTP
This project is for the construction of the Columbia Water Treatment Plant, which is
needed to supply customer demands in southeast Boise. It is projected that this plant
will ultimately serve up to 15,000 customers within the southeast Boise service area.
Analyses have shown that local groundwater supplies are not sufficient to supply the
area and that "importing" water from areas with more plentiful supplies is not viable.
The treatment plant will receive its raw water supply from the Boise River. A river intake
and pump station was constructed in 1998 in conjunction with Micron Technology, Inc.
and the J.R. Simplot Company to supply the plant.
Project No. CO2BOO8 Bali Hai Well- Water Treatment
This project is needed to construct a treatment facility at the Bali Hai well. The treatment
facility will consist of chlorine generation equipment to neutralize high levels of ammonia
in the well. Then a manganese green sand filter will be added to remove high levels of
iron and manganese. The remainder of the project is needed to complete building
modifications for the new equipment and to construct a storage tank for the backwash
water. The backwash water will eventually go to the Boise City sewer system but at
much slower rates than the back wash cycle rates.
Project No. CO3BOO3 Maple Hills #1 Treatment
This project is for the design and construction of a treatment facility at the Maple Hill
Well. This well has the capacity to produce 1800 gpm. However, due to water quality
problems it typically runs at approximately 800 gpm. This proposed treatment facility
would allow us to take advantage of the additional 1 ,000 gpm which is needed to meet
peak season demands resulting from new customer growth and to prevent deterioration
in customer service pressures and fire protection capacities.
This well has high levels of ammonia and requires large doses of chlorine to neutralize
it. However , the chlorine causes the precipitation of iron and manganese, which results
in customer complaints due to discolored water and staining. A pilot study has shown
that break point chlorination along with a manganese greensand filter can be used to
neutralize the ammonia and remove the iron and manganese.
Project No. C038004 Safety Showers
This project is proposed to install safety showers in six (6) facilities. During a recent
safety audit several locations were identified as requiring safety showers.
Project No. C048002 Raw Water Pump Station
This project will install underground piping and pumps into the existing raw water pump
station to provide surface water source supply to the Columbia Water Treatment Plant.
Project No. C048004 30" Raw Water Pipe Line
This project is for the installation of approximately 7350 ft of 30 in. raw water line
between the Raw Water Pump Station and the Columbia Water Treatment Plant. This
line will transport Boise River water to the new plant. There are two segments, Surprise
Valley-1440 ft and the Power Line segment-591 0 ft. The Columbia Water Treatment
Plant is needed to supply customer demands in southeast Boise (See C02BO02 -
Columbia Water Treatment Plant).
Project No. CO48006 Chlorine Code Compliance
This project is for the installation of 8 liquid sodium hypochlorite feed systems. These
systems will constitute the next phase of a program to remove chlorine gas from all of
our well houses and will be completed in 2005.
Project No. CO48501 Replace Chlorination Equipment
This project is for the replacement of disinfection equipment that has reached the end of
its useful life.
Project No. C048502 Marden Filter #2 Repair
This project is for the repair of Filter #2 at the Marden WTP. The work includes
removal , clean storage and replacement of existing filter media and support media from
filter #2. It also involves the purchase and addition of new media to replace lost media,
investigation of the cause of the media loss, and repairs to the 101 Monoflor system.
Project No. CO48007 Marden WTP Chlorine Generator
This project is for the removal of the existing gas chlorination system and scrubber at
the Marden WTP, and installation of one 300 pounds per day chlorine generation unit.
Replacing hazardous chlorine gas with non-hazardous 0./0 sodium hypochlorite
reduces the handling risks for employees and risks to the public in the event of a leak.
This project will also eliminate the need to "harden" the chlorine room walls, doors and
windows at Marden to meet the recommendations of United Water s EPA vulnerability
asse ss m e nt.
During the EPA vulnerability assessment, United Water s consultant encouraged the
transition from the use of gaseous chlorine in ton cylinders to the use of a chlorine
generator, as proposed in this project. The generator significantly reduces the potential
exposure of United Water to the public in the event a determined and knowledgeable
adversary attacks the facility.
Project No. CO48503 Replace CI2 Residual Analyzers
This project is for the replacement of two older chlorine residual analysis units that have
reached the end of their useful life. It is difficult and expensive to get repair parts. The
new units match existing CL-17 units in the system.

Project No. CO4CO01 Pump Station Cooling System
This project is for providing central cooling to facilities that are currently too hot for
optimal equipment operation. The heat load at many facilities has increased with the
addition of variable frequency drives and chlorine generation equipment. This has led to
equipment failure and breaker switches tripping out due to excess heat. These cooling
systems will also reduce dust intrusion to facilities and reduce noise for the neighbors,
as the windows will remain closed. We have identified twenty facilities in need of
cooling. We intend to include design costs for 10 facilities in 2004, and completion of
systems at Hidden Valley #2, Ten Mile, Pleasant Valley, and Pioneer wells, Hillcrest and
Floating Feather well and booster stations and Roger Heights booster station.
Project No. CO4CO02 Auxiliary Power - Pleasant Valley Well
This project is for the relocation of a 500 KW auxiliary power generator originally sited at
the Marden WTP to supply the 500 HP pump at the Pleasant Valley well in the event of
a power outage. Included in this project are the construction of a suitable structure to
house it, the purchase and installation of an automatic transfer switch and other
electrical panels, and conduits and wiring.
The vulnerability assessment completed in March 2003 recommends that United Water
increase its standby power generating capacity. This project will help to achieve that
goal by taking advantage of the existing generator that was removed from Marden when
a new 1 000 KW generator was installed in 2002.
The Pleasant Valley well is located in the Columbia Bench Service level , at the high
end of the system. Water from this facility can support much of the easterly side of the
water system by gravity feed through the various pipeline interties during a major power
outage.
Project No. C04CO03 First Bench Split Pump Improvements

This project is proposed to install data gathering and operational control at the
Blackeagle , Ustick and Hobble Creek PRY interties, by installing meters, psi
transducers, and setpoint controller. The Blackeagle PRY upgrades are critical for the
operation of the wells and the new south Five Mile reservoir and booster. The Ustick
and Hobble Creek PRV's feed west of Cloverdale and north of Fairview. These
upgrades will provide valuable information to the SCADA as to the effectiveness of the
operations in this area. This will also provide critical information for engineering to use
in the system model.
Project No. CO4DO04 First Bench Service Level Split - Mains
This project will implement the critical distribution system improvements needed to
resolve the low pressure problems experienced on the east end of the First Bench
Service Level during peak summer demand periods. These improvements create a
hydraulic boundary, splitting the First Bench into two pressure zones along Roosevelt
Street.
The First Bench is a continuous nine-mile long pressure zone from Federal Way
Cloverdale Road. There is an approximate 150-foot drop in ground elevation from east
to west, which equates to about a 65 psi water pressure difference. As pressures are
increased to improve service to customers at the east end, the water, in essence, runs
down-hill and overloads the service pressures to customers on the west end. Splitting
this system into two pressure zones will enable increased pressures for the east end
without adversely affecting the customers in the west. It will also improve fire protection
capabilities throughout the east end with the higher operating pressures.
Project No. C04D101 Hilton Street (Grover to Ponder)
This project is for the installation of 465 feet of 12" PVC water main in Hilton Street with
a crossing under the Ridenbaugh canal. The proposed work will complete a tie-in of

SUBJECT:Maple Hill Well Treatment System
Notice Of Award
Dear Jim
Thank you for your recent participation in bidding the proposed Maple Hill Well Treatment
System. After reviewing the prices your Company has been selected as the contractor for this
project.
Prior to commencing with the actual fieldwork for this project, a Construction Agreement
must be signed.
We look forward to working with you on this project and if you have any questions please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott Rhead, P .

-.0 RE:Maple Hills Filtration Pump Station
..-
IJ"')0..Dear Mr. Schaefer
Thank you for inviting us to participate in submitting our qualifications for the above project
coming up. Below is our proposal for constructing the Maple Hills Pump Station in
accordance with the RFP dated October 4th and the drawings provided by UWID.
L.1.As you know, the staff at JC Constructors, Inc. has enjoyed a long and productive
relationship with UWID , dating back to pre-design prior to the second phase of Marden
WTP. We have appreciated the opportunity to work with United Water' staff as a team
through ten separate contracts, ranging from $10,000 to $4 miUion. All parties involved have
benefited from the openness and trust grown through these projects. We look forward to
another with the same team and similar results.
IJ"')
..-
IJ"')0..
As you also are aware, JC Constructors ' consistent, professional, local presence has
produced great benefit, both to its own success and to JC Constructors' growing list of
clients. JCC has doubled in size and capacity in the last two years , while continuing to
employ arguably the most qualified men in the valley. Skilled craftsmen throughout the area
continue to, in their words, "check here first" for an employment home. The result is efficient
crews performing superior quality work. Local suppliers and subcontractors work hard to
ensure our projects are successful. We have a strong relationship with local building
authorities, built over time with a spirit of cooperation. We have successfully built a 'long
haul' reputation that brings positive thoughts to most in our industry.
-.0
.J:.
Our ability to work efficiently, to work affordably and to control the schedule is another
significant advantage for JC Constructors and its clients. Our ability to self-perform the work
required for Maple Hills is difficult for our competition to match. We intend to perform the
excavation , the concrete, miscellaneous metals, the architectural work, the mechanical
work, take the lead throughout start-up and dress up the site. Procurement of materials in
,.
each of these areas is included as well. With this self perform mindset, significant additional
margins are eliminated , which otherwise would be paid by UWID for subcontracted work and
procurement packages. Adding to efficiency, with a self perform concept, UWID can be
assured both of quality control and schedule success once major Owner Furnished
Equipment packages arrives.
a:::
IJ"')In addition, JC Constructors has continued to grow in experience since our last project with
UWID. We recently completed two filtration pump stations for Garden City, very identical in
process and scope to the proposed Maple Hills project. Garden City Public Works would
..-
....
gladly schedule a tour with you of those projects as you review our proposal. Since
completing those two pump stations, we also completed a $3.6 million Water Treatment
Facility for the City of Weiser before starting the West Boise project.
The City of Boise Public Works would love to show their new West Boise Wastewater
Treatment Plant addition , as we approach the 80% mark of their new $7.3 million upgrade.
The project is nearing the first major milestone , and should be complete 4 months ahead of
contract completion. A list of our recent projects is attached.
In short, the above are four major reasons why UWID would benefit by selecting JC
Constructors to construct the Maple Hills project. We have a long standing relationship with
UWID built on trust, we have built a solid reputation in this local market, we self perform a
majority of the work for better-control and cost savings to benefit the client, and we have
strong recent experience in the Maple Hills project scope of work.
Again , we thank you for the invitation to demonstrate to UWID our qualifications. We look
forward to the chance to work with you on this project.
Proposal Requirements
Section 1 & 2 - Team Qualifications
Company Name:
JC Constructors, Inc.
1305 E. Columbia Rd.
Meridian, 10 83642
[phone]
[phone] fax
PW License # 14336-AAA-
JC Constructors Inc. was started in May, 1999 by Jim Cox, as a small self-perform general
contractor working primarily in engineered mechanical and structural construction. Most of
its contracts to date have been connected to the Water and Wastewater industry in some
form. Jim Cox, as president and senior project manager will be involved in varying degrees
of oversight throughout the project. Tim f=oley has -been the project manager on many of
these projects and will be designated as the project manager on the Maple Hills Filtration
Pump Station. Both resumes are attached along with a list of past projects and current
references. Both Jim Cox and Tim Foley have a strong background in working through the
remaining portion of the design requirements. In addition , the company has developed
many relationships in the consulting sector to effectively solicit proper design support as
needed.
JC Constructors has grown steadily financially in its five year history. From a first bonded
project of $790 000 to current bondable work program of over $10 million, corporate
finances are those of a very strong and stable contractor with no debt. The balance sheet of
the company currently reflects $600 000 in working capital with equity of $750,000.
Section 3 - Project Approach
Budgeting of the project will continue immediately upon notice of award. Materials and
competitive subcontractor bids will solicited for those areas not yet bid. The current budget
will be updated against current costs weekly, so that budget control will be continuous.
e--
Fencing, landscaping, masonry, painting and the electrical work will be subcontracted. All
other work will be performed by JCC'screws. Scheduling will be maintained utilizing
Primavera Suretrack for overall project critical path schedule. A detailed baseline schedule
will be completed immediately following notice of award. JC Constructors will update, plot
and circulate a revision monthly. In addition, short term scheduling will be updated weekly
using a four week look-ahead schedule to coordinate and communicate details of weekly
construction. QAlQC will be first performed by JC Constructors' staff daily. MTI will be the
anticipated named outside testing agency on an hourly basis to meet local building codes.
A cost allowance of $5,000 is included.
Permitting and procurementwill receive immediate attention following notice of award.
Procurement will be ongoing well into the construction period , generally from local sources.
Construction will begin around November 1st with building underground. The new building
should be weather tight around mid January as a milestone, leaving three months for
process, control and commissioning. Acceptance testing and substantial completion will be
complete by April 15, 2004.
Section 4 - Price Proposal
As far as cost, we expect the cost of this project to total approximately $1 050,000, not
including sales tax on Owner Furnished Equipment. This is a fairly detailed budget, based
upon plans received to date and based upon our recent project costs Garden City, JC
Constructors' portion of that is $650 000, which is intended to be an all-inclusive package.
Included in this package is engineering, foreseeable permits, testing, taxes , bonds,
insurance , temporary jobsite facilities, demolition, a CIP baffled tank allowance, a $2500
utility allowance, Farmers Lateral fencing, and a fixed management fee of $70 000.
Direct costs will be easy to assess, as costs on the project site will be direct.
Constructors will forward no indirect costs from the corporate office. Costs specific to this
project will be the only costs UWID will absorb. Project management costs are currently at
$1 ,200/week while production I,abor varies from $14/hr to $23/hr. Benefits are above
industry standard costs and include vacation and sick pay, family health insurance, an
allowance for training. JC Constructors' workmen s compensation, unemployment and
liability insurance are well below industry standard costs. Detailed hourly cost rates will be
forwarded immediately upon request.
The draft Design-Build Agreement is adequate and fair for all parties. If liquidated damages
are desired , JC Constructors will gladly concur, assuming an early completion bonus is also
involved. Possible alternative wording might include a $5,000 incentive for ten days early
completion along with a $5,000 penalty for ten days late completion.
Please call if you have further questions for clarification. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(I tf)!
