SECTION 1 SCOPE OF WORK The goal of this project is to upgrade the PLC based control systems for the both the Main Plant and the High Service pumping station at RO Plant #2. The older SLC-based system will be upgraded to a CompactLogix system. Both the Main plant and High Service pumping station will retain their own PLC and achieve the existing control functionality within the rewritten program for the updated platform. This is intended to a be a turnkey project and the Engineer is responsible for all tasks described within the Scope of Work 1.1 Software Programming Services: 1.1.1 General Conditions: Engineer shall work closely with MPW s personnel to ensure that desired functionality of control systems is obtained through the project. Engineer shall dedicate time to locally investigating and determining the layout and operation the Plant s systems (Feed Water, RO Train Operation, Chemical Feed Systems, etc.). This shall include two four-hour design meetings with MPW s staff. All software must meet MPW s software development standards. All PLC code must be programmed with Studio 5000 version 24.00. Majority of code shall be written in Ladder Logic. Function Block is allowable for PID routines and Structured Text is allowable for data mapping. CompactLogix programs have already been written for a sister plant to RO Plant #2. These programs shall be reused and adapted for the Control Systems at RO Plant #2 so that the programs are uniform in functionality across MPW s water treatment plants. All software related work shall be warrantied for bugs and errors not found during testing for 2 years from the final acceptance date. All modifications to the existing HMI system is the responsibility of MPW. 1.1.2 Main Plant PLC: A new CompactLogix software program shall be written and tested for the new CompactLogix hardware. The existing functionality of RO Trains, Plant Feed Water, and Chemical Feed systems must be retained. The CompactLogix program that serves RO Plant #1, a sister plant of RO Plant #2, shall be reused and adapted to accommodate the additional RO Train and differences in I/O layout at RO Plant #2. 1.1.3 High Service Pumping Station: A new CompactLogix software program shall be written and tested for the new CompactLogix Hardware. The existing functionality of the High Service pumping system must be retained. The CompactLogix program that serves High Service Pumping Station #4 shall be reused and adapted to accommodate differences in the pumping system at High Pumping Station #2. 1.2 Hardware Integration Services 1.2.1 General Conditions: All UPSs shall be replaced with Smart style APC SMT series UPSs that are properly sized for its respective system. A network management card shall be included with the UPSs and it shall be wired to the Plant s network system. All existing analog surge arrestors shall be replaced with new equivalent Phoenix Contact surge arrestor modules. All existing power supplies and power condition equipment shall be replaced with equivalent Phoenix power supplies and equipment. WTR1702 Page 11
All cabinet wiring shall be properly labeled according CAD drawings produced by Engineer Reuse of existing 120V AC service to existing cabinets is allowable.

WTR1702 Page 12
SECTION 2 - EXECUTION 2.1 Planning and Development: Engineer shall devote enough time before the project s execution to review existing programs and documentation, witnessing existing RO plant operations, determining location of field control devices, and meeting with MPW staff to develop a full understanding of the Plant s control system. 2.2 Testing: All software and control systems functionality shall be tested with MPW s supervision and final acceptance shall be based on MPW s approval. Engineer is responsible for developing a testing plan with assistance of MPW during initial design meetings. An I/O checkout list shall be developed by Engineer and an I/O checkout shall be performed and approved by MPW before the testing of software functionality. 2.3 Schedule: Hardware integration shall begin before by 2/1/18. The integration of the hardware for each individual system, High Service and Main Plant, can occur over one continuous period but shall not take longer than a 2-week period. Finalized versions of the PLC programs shall be provided to MPW at least 2 weeks before the Hardware integration date. Final commissioning and testing of software programs is dependent on the availability of Deep Well #2 since it is required for the proper testing of plant systems.
