RE: Task Order No. 3
Wastewater Service Alternatives Evaluation
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Freese and Nichols, Inc., is pleased to submit Task Order No. 3 - Wastewater Services
Alternatives Evaluation and requests Authorization to Proceed in accordance with our General
Agreement for Professional Services dated November 6, 2001.
The City's existing WWTP currently receives and treats all wastewater flows generated within the
city limits. Alternatives for expanding this facility to treat all of the wastewater flow at this
location were examined in Task Order 2. The work described in Task Order No. 3 involves
preparation of a report including an evaluation of alternatives for the ultimate delivery of all of
the City of The Colony's raw wastewater flow to the North Texas Municipal Water District
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The attached overall schedule reflects delivery of the draft
report on June 27, 2003 and the final report on July 18, 2003.
Freese and Nichols, Inc. has been providing water and wastewater planning, design and
construction phase services, to municipalities in the DFW Metroplex since 1894. We have
adequate experience and staff in our Metroplex offices to successfully complete this assignment.
My 23 years of experience have been exclusively on municipal water and wastewater treatment
plant projects and I am certified by the American Academy of EnVironmental Engineers in
Wastewater Treatment. My project team, including project engineer David Jackson and design
engineer Jim Baddaker, have specific expertise and experience in the design and evaluation of
wastewater conveyance and treatment facilities.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 214-217-2252. We look forward to working with
you and your staffon this project.
Very truly yours,

Treatment Plant. The assessment shall include the following alternatives:
1. Evaluation of alternatives for conveyance and treatment of all flow from the Austin Ranch
development area. Evaluation shall include alternatives for service including partnership
with Plano and/or NTMWD. The current candidate alternatives include:
a. Construction of a lift station and force main from Austin Ranch area to the Regional
WWTP.
b. Connection to the Upper East Fork Interceptor System followed by later construction of a
lift station and force main from Austin Ranch area to the Regional WWTP.

The Colony's Stewart Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to the NTMWD Regional WWTP.
The current candidate alternatives include:

a new lift station at the existing WWTP for pumping of the remaining wastewater flow to
the NTMWD Regional WWTP. Alternative includes delineation of modifications to the
existing WWTP from a contact stabilization mode of operation to extended aeration mode
of operation to meet the nitrification requirement at the 2.3 MGD flowrate. The lift
station will be master planned to allow pumping of ~ill future flow to the Regional WWTP
for a scenario where the existing WWTP is decommissioned.
b. Construction of a new lift station to pump all wastewater flow from the City's plant to the
NTMWD Regional WWTP.
3. Evaluation of alternatives for conveyance of raw wastewater flows from the Wynnwood
Peninsula area to facilities at the City's WWTP or the NTMWD Regional WWTP. Current
candidate alternatives include:
