A scope of services will be developed in conjunction with the negotiation of a not to exceed, professional
services contract between the BRA and the selected engineering Firm. The scope of services presented
below is a general description of the required Work to develop this project and will be further developed
during negotiations.
The following is a non-exclusive overview of possible professional services that may be required:
a. Perform forensic structural evaluation on 78" RJV regarding the cracks found on the welds at
connection points on the internal stiffening vanes. The RJV is a permit required confined space
and would require H2S monitoring.
b. The adequacy of the valve design, specifically the thickness of the internal stiffening, vanes
under the actual operating conditions at this location should be forensically investigated (to
include either x-ray or radiography inspection of entire stainless steel structure) to ascertain if the
vanes and welds can withstand the associated stresses. Determination of the root cause will
require detailed analysis of the valve design and water flow in the system during operation.
Provide a fatigue analysis of the COC.
c. Once a forensic evaluation of the RJV is completed, a repair design (if needed) should be
completed. If no repair design is needed, then provide the specifications and experience to obtain
a contractor to make repairs as needed. Also review and assessment of the contractor firm.
Provide to owner a review, assessment, and recommendation of the contractor's abilities and
resources to perform the required Work.
d. Repair plan should address the spot patching and coating of all metal surfaces throughout the
conduit of COC system (42" and 78" RJV).
e. Bidding/Contract Award Services (if needed)
f. Construction Contract Administration Services (if needed)
g. Construction Phase Engineering Services (if needed)
h. Resident Project Representative (RPR) Services (if needed)
