THE CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA
CPH ENGINEERS, INC.
This Agreement made on the l� day of 2000 between the CITY OF
SANFORD, FLORIDA (hereinafter called the CITY) and CPH ENGINEERS, INC. (hereinafter
called the ENGINEER), is mutually agreed upon and declared an authorized Amendment to an
Agreement dated December 7, 1983, between the parties, herein setting forth the scope, terms
and conditions of the work herein authorized.
In case of any conflict between this Amendment and the aforementioned Agreement of December
7, 1983, this Amendment shall govern for the work described herein.
SECTION 1
PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT
1.1. Introduction
The objective of process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals is to prevent
unwanted releases of hazardous chemicals into locations that could expose employees and
others to serious hazards. An effective Process Safety Management (PSM) Program
requires a systematic approach to evaluating the entire treatment process. Using this
approach the process design, process technology, operational and maintenance activities
and procedures, non -routine activities and procedures, emergency preparedness plans and
procedures, training programs, and other elements that impact the processes are all
considered in the evaluation. The various levels of defense that have been incorporated
into the design and operation of the process to prevent or mitigate the release of hazardous
chemical will be evaluated to ascertain their effectiveness. The Process Safety
Management standard targets highly hazardous chemicals that have the potential to cause
a catastrophic incident. This OSHA standard is required by the Clean Air Act Amendments.
In response to the Code of Federal Regulations, 29 CFR 1910.119, "Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals", and in accordance with the United States
Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines, the
ENGINEER will prepare a Process Safety Management (PSM) Plan.
In accordance with previous discussions and meetings between the CITY and the
ENGINEER, all City of Sanford water treatment and water reclamation facilities will be
evaluated and included as part of the overall City of Sanford PSM program.
1.2. Purpose of the Amendment
The purpose of this Amendment is to authorize the Engineer to provide professional
engineering services for the development of a City of Sanford PSM, with regard to water
and wastewater treatment facilities. The Engineer shall provide all services required to
complete each task in accordance with regulatory requirements in effect on the date of
execution of this Agreement to the extent of the scope of work as defined and set out in this
Amendment. The Engineer shall perform professional services as hereinafter stated in
accordance with good engineering practices.
