SCOPE OF SERVICES
RFP No. 2232 10/21/22
Scope of Work
The Pump Check shall complete all tests as specified by the City of Riverside.
Prior to performing pump etficiency tests, Pump Check shall perform a preliminary inspection at each facility to be tested. The Pump Check shall briefly visually inspect each pump to be tested, and determine if the pumps are ready for testing. Pump Check shall inform City staff of any preparatory work that needs to be done by the City prior to testing, to ensure that tests can proceed smoothly at Pump Check's next visit. Preparatory work might include installation of taps for attaching pressure gauges or other tasks.
According to the California Energy Commission, "moving water around the state takes up to 19 percent of the total energy supply." With energy costs skyrocketing and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions growing, finding ways to optimize the efficiency of our water conveyance infrastructure can provide real benefits in terms of costs and environmental effects.
Since 2010, Pump Check has helped the City of Riverside save a total of 4,563,696 kWhs.
Pump Check through testing, identified pumps that were inefficient and recommended them for repair. This savings number was after the City repaired or replaced the pumps with new pumps, properly designed. The pumps were retested to verify the savings.
Since 2010 this equates to a reduction of 4,221.4 tons of Green House CO2 gases annually. (National average emissions factor for electricity is 1.85 pounds CO2 per kilowatt-hour. Source: Energy Information Administration. Electric senerator Report 2013, Table 8.2, www.eia.doe.gov).
And enough energy saved (kWh's) to power 434.6 average households for one year. (National average for electricity consumed per household 10,500 kWh's per year. Source: U.S. Department of Energy, Table 1.5 Energ) Consumption, Expenditures and Emissions Indicators, 2012, www.energr.gov).
Pump Check's program is designed to show how your pumps are performing and what steps can be taken to reduce operating costs.
We conduct a standard Field or Index Test. We measure the flow in gallons per minute, the total head or lift, and the power requirement for each pump. For well pumps, the static and pumping levels are measured and the specific yield of the well is determined. The overall plant efficiency (wire to water) and kWh per acre foot for electric driven units are then calculated.
We also test and provide similar results for natural gas and diesel driven units. We make a test under the normal operating condition and one or two throttle points to get an idea of how the pump is suited to the existing condition.
In pump stations with multiple pumps, we look at the resulting pump performance as other pumps are added.
3 RFP No. 2232 Scope of Work (cont) 10/21/22
A pumping cost analysis is provided based on the operating characteristics of each pump. If the pump curve is available we will plot the test results on the curve also. The cost is calculated based on the pump production and energy rate applicable to that account. If, in our opinion, the pump efficiency can be improved, we calculate the savings that can be achieved from that improvement and include it with the test results.
The pump test determines if a pump is in need of attention and the dollar value of repairs or changes in operation. It provides current information about water levels and specific yields as well as trends over time. The test also provides information about system pressure and lifts for pump design. The test can be used as a primary tool for prioritized pumping.
The water meters are tested with multiple test runs and the accuracy averaged. If the accuracy is not acceptable the water meter calibration is adjusted and the water meter is retested to confirm the desired accuracy was achieved.
All test results are delivered as paper hard copy and in a pdf electronic format.
Our fees are flat rate per pump or meter with a daily minimum and are dependent on the extent of service you require. We can modify the standard field test to accommodate some of your special needs. We are willing to work with you to make the service as beneficial as possible.
Based on historical testing with the City of Riverside we have held every other Thursday and riday in 2023 open exclusively for the City of Riverside. We are extremely confident we ca omplete the requested testing with these reserved days. Rhonda keeps track of our progress wit an xlsx program she created and we keep the City up to date on our progress. 4 RFP No. 2232 Scope of Work (cont) 10/21/22
Water Meter Testing
We conduct a standard Field or Index Test following the American Water Works Association practices set forth in M6. We measure the flow in gallons per minute, anc nake a comparison with your production water meter. The flow test will be performe one of three ways.
First: Using a Comparative water meter. The flow is measured using a calibrated comparison water meter.
Second: Using a Pitot tube. The flow is measured with a velocity head differential tool.
Third: Using an Ultra Sonic flow meter. The flow is measured with a transit time sound wave correlation tool.
Each one of these techniques can provide the desired results. The decision to use one tool over the other may be based on many factors including but not limited to; pressure, gpm, flooding, erosion, existing piping configuration, de-chlorination, discharge permits, end user inconvenience and customer preference.
We specialize in Water Specialties and McCrometer flow meters.
If a water meters accuracy is found out of acceptable tolerance, Pump Check will make the required adjustment to the water meter and a retest will be performed to confirm the : desired accuracy has been achieved. Water meters needing an external communicator for recalibration may require your instrument technician or a sub-contractor.
City of Riverside will be responsible the following support:
* Operation of pumps and valves as necessary.
* Responsibility for all environmental concerns and compliance.
Responsibility for all required permits, legal fees and fines. * Take necessary reads and in general ensure any discharged water is in compliance with NPDES and/or any other permits).
* Removal and installation of complete meters as necessary. * Provide traffic control at flooded intersections and streets as necessary.
A pretest inspection may be necessary to confirm the water meters are ready to test. This may require the installation of valves, fittings and piping by your maintenance crew. 5 RFP 2232 PUMP TESTING METHODOLOGY 10/21/22

6 RFP 2232 PUMP TESTING METHODOLOGY (cont) 10/21/22
Pump speed measurement
1. Measure pump speed with electronic photo tachometer and record.
Calculations
1. Calculate total lift and convert to feet.
2. Calculate flow in gallons per minute.
3. Calculate kW input to motor and convert to input horsepower.
4. Determine wire to water efficiency.
5. Calculate kVA and power factor.
Additional test points
he same procedure is repeated for each additional test point as determined in advanci oltage and current readings may be omitted in subsequent test points if electrica operation is satisfactory.
Pump tests are conducted in accordance with Hydraulic Institute test standards 1.6, 2.6 &
11.6 to the extent that the pumping plant physical installation allows.
