During the course of the design phase, the SFPUC will provide the MFSS with five (5) electronic copies of the design submittals for review. SFPUC reserves the right to change the design of any detail shown on the Scope project drawings without additional cost to SFPUC for the MF/UF system as proposed,; provided that there is no increase in the amount of Workmaterials, workmanship or cost to the hours MFSS.

The MFSS hereby understands and agrees to abide by SFPUC’s interpretation and agrees to complete the work in accordance with the decision of SFPUC. If the specifications are not complete as to any minor detail of a required system or equipment, but there exists an accepted manufacturing standard, such details shall be deemed to have been implied and required by the specifications in accordance with such standard. MFSS shall match SFPUC standards for control system symbols, colors and tagging. SFPUC standards shall be provided after MFSS selection. Task 2: Demonstration Testing After the MFSS has been selected, SFPUC may undertake a twelve (12) week demonstration/pilot testing program for the purposes of confirming the design criteria of the MF/UF system provided in the MFSS’s proposal.

Following the execution of each Task Order, the City’s Project Manager will work directly with the Contractor for following areas:  Total daily production  Total production over the duration of the Project unless otherwise noted on pilot test, including downtime for clean-in-place, chemically enhanced backwashes and maintenance washes  Net recovery as a percentage of total water produced (not counting backwash water or water needed for clean-in-place, chemically enhanced backwashes and maintenance washes) divided by the Task Orderwater supplied to the pilot plant  Transmembrane pressure and specific flux prior to clean-in-place  Clean-in-place interval  Total chemical usage over the duration of the pilot test If the MF/UF does not meet the proposed performance in any of these areas, the MFSS shall propose modifications to the full-scale system to enable the MF/UF system to meet the proposed performance. If SFPUC determines that the proposed changes cannot be made to work satisfactorily with the WRWP, SFPUC reserves the right to terminate the agreement. If SFPUC determines that the proposed changes can be made to work but would cause SFPUC to incur additional capital or ongoing operations and maintenance costs, SFPUC reserves the right to negotiate a lower cost of the MFSS’s system. Should such negotiations not be successful, SFPUC reserves the right to terminate the agreement.
