ENGINEERING AND
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE DISCUSSION OUTLINE
As a response to the drought, increased demand for water, and the rising cost of
imported water, staff has been evaluating new water sources. The new water supply
resources evaluation was presented by staff at the April 30, 2014 Board Meeting, with
the Flagler Wells being one of the new sources.
The Flagler Wells are existing wells that are currently used for supplying irrigation water.
The wells were originally developed in the late 1890s and were used for irrigation and
potable use. In 1948, the Temescal Water Company drilled new wells and utilized the
wells for irrigation. In 2007, the wells were abandoned and new wells drilled nearby to
accommodate a land development project. These wells draw from the Bedford Basin.
In June of 1989, the Temesecal Water Company investigated whether the wells could be
used for potable water and determined that they could. Staff recently evaluated water
quality and potential surface water influences to determine if the water was still
acceptable as a potable supply and determined that it was.
Converting the wells to potable use will require constructing a pipeline to connect the
wells to the Temescal Valley Pipeline, boosting the system pressure to accommodate
the connection, and providing disinfection facilities for the water. On September 29,
2014, staff requested proposals from eight (8) engineering firms to provide engineering
design services for the Flagler improvements. Six (6) proposals were received on
October 23, 2014 and evaluated by staff. Proposals were evaluated per the criteria
shown on the attached table.
The evaluation indicated that Water Works Engineers and Krieger & Stewart had
essentially the same score and were deemed the two highest qualified proposers. The
cost proposals for Water Works Engineers and Krieger & Stewart were subsequently
evaluated, with Water Works Engineer's cost proposal being $142,000 less than Krieger
& Stewart's. Staff determined that Waterworks' cost proposal addressed the Project
scope at the best value.
Staff plans to present this item at the January 22, 2015 Board meeting. After careful
review, staff recommends approval of a Professional Services Agreement with Water
Works Engineers, LLC, for a not-to-exceed amount of $337,653. This item, including
overhead of $16,883 as well as staff time and fringe benefits of $73,023.30, totals
$427,559.30.
The Project will require an evaluation of the environmental impacts and necessary
actions. This evaluation is part of the scope of work proposed for Water Works
Engineers, LLC.

Enclosed please find Water Works Engineers proposal to provide engineering services for the EVMWD
Flagler Wells Conversion Pipeline Project (No. 75877). As requested, we have included five bound hard
copies, one .pdf copy on CD and a separate sealed envelope with our cost proposal. We acknowledge
receipt Addendum 1 dated October 7th, 2014 and Addendum 2 dated October 12th, 2014. Our approach to
the scope of work is detailed in our proposal, which generally is in conformance with the scope stated in the
RFP. We have reviewed the PSA and are willing to sign it in its current form.
Water Works Engineers has assembled a focused team of experts for this project. Our main project office
for this project will be our Gardena office (1515 W 190th Street, Ste. 428, Gardena, CA 90248) Andrew
Borgic, out of our Gardena Office will manage the project with local Project Engineering support from Gilbert
Fuentes (also in Gardena). Technical oversight will be provided by Sami Kader (on chemical feed systems
and chloramination approach) and Mike Fisher (on pipeline design). We have kept the team small and
focused in order to provide EVMWD with the most efficient team to execute the work effectively.
We have done our homework, examined the data, and developed an in-depth understanding of the key
project issues. The project team proposed worked together on the key issues analysis and understands that
those key issues (pipeline alignment, land ownership, access to chemical feed stations, chemical feed in a
high pressure pipeline, adequate timing for free chlorination and chloramination control) are all strongly
interrelated and required an integrate analysis to develop a project which encompass all of the key project
issues. We are prepared to provide that integrated analysis and have assembled a team uniquely qualified
to do so.
If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please feel free to contact Andrew at
310-750-7921 or me at 530-355-7646. We look forward to the opportunity to work for you.

FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUALS
Water Works Engineers staff have prepared numerous O&M Manuals and Operation Guides. Our principals have
been preparing electronic O&M manuals since the technology was first developed in the mid 1990's. Fluid
Knowledge, a predecessor company of Water Works Engineers, pioneered several of the concepts still in use
today in preparation of electronic O&M Manuals. Beyond the technology, we see good O&M manuals not as a
project add-on or afterthought, but as an important means of providing critical information to those who need it
the most -- the facility operators.

prioritization; and the rate studies and financial planning to support these programs. Our assessment projects
includes CCTV, manhole and lift station inspections; energy audits; flow monitoring; smoke and dye testing; C-
factor testing; hydrostatic and ultrasonic leak detection; fire hydrant flow testing; and water quality sampling
and flushing. Our team has significant experience performing these studies, interpreting the results, and
designing rehabilitation/replacement plans to address identified system deficiencies before they become
emergency projects.
A crucial part of Water Works Engineers rehabilitation and replacement toolbox is our comprehensive
understanding and implementation of trenchless construction methods.
Our use of performance based specifications allows us to competitively bid traditional versus trenchless
construction methods against one another, often times resulting in cost savings to our EVMWDs. Through our
field experience, we know that the key to a successful trenchless construction project is the geotechnical
investigation. Water Works has worked with our geotechnical firms to develop an approach that ensures we
have the subsurface information to select the appropriate construction method and specify mitigation measures
to ensure success. Our trenchless project experience includes horizontal directional drilling; auger bore and
jack; micro-tunneling; pipe-bursting, -reaming, and –ramming; slip-lining; cured-in-place pipe and spray applied
coatings; as well as structural rehabilitation of wet wells, manholes, and other structures. We have valuable
past project experience to draw on for any project assigned to us.

well to facilitate alternative delivery projects, allowing our contractor partners to develop more accurate cost
models and provide meaningful input very early in the design process.
Our role as an advocate for robust design and long term performance considerations does not change using
alternative project delivery. Working closely with both the contractor and owner allows us to further scrutinize
our design approach for each project and refine design details to provide the most cost-effective
implementation of high quality design and engineering concepts. Continuous contractor feedback, combined
with ongoing coordination with owner needs, not only leads to effective alternative delivery projects, but also
improves our work on traditional design/bid/build projects.
Water Works Engineers has the multidisciplinary knowledge necessary to consider and implement valuable
solutions to the various problems associated with this area of work. Our experience includes the following
projects and facilities:

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Project Goals
The Project Team’s objective for the Project is to accomplish the following goals:
Apply our expertise and experience to work with the EVMWD to develop the most feasible and
economic solution to convey and treat groundwater from Well 2A and 3A in the most effective,
reliable, and easy to operate manner possible
Identify, coordinate with and submit encroachment permit applications for City, County, Flood
Control District and other identified local agencies
Select and design a chloramination treatment solution that will comply with all Federal, State and
Local Standards and building permit requirements
Develop switch over (tie-in) strategy/plan to support logical and efficient construction phasing and
maintenance of potable water service to customers
Design quality public bid construction documents on schedule and within budget
Culminate all efforts in the final design of a smooth-operating, safe, and easy to maintain
groundwater conveyance and treatment system that will provide decades of service
Project Background
The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) owns and operates agricultural supply wells, Well 2A
(500-gpm at 150 psi) and Well 3A (900-gpm at 150 psi) located in unincorporated Riverside County and the City
of Corona. EVMWD desires to convert these wells to provide water to its approximately 35,000 water customers
for potable use. By doing this, EVMWD will be able to reduce their purchase water volumes from the
Metropolitan Water District, thus diversifying their water supply and reducing their expenditures.
In order to complete the conversion, the existing agriculture 6-inch and 8-inch ductile iron pipelines will be
abandoned and a new, approximately 2,500-ft 18-inch main will be installed to convey water from each well to
the 42-inch Temescal Valley Pipeline (TMV) located below Temescal Canyon Road, as shown in the EVMWD’s
“Flagler Wells Piping Alternatives” shown in Figure 1. A total of three route alternatives have been identified by
EVMWD with a preference to pursue Alternative 1, as it appears to pose the fewest environmental regulatory
and permitting challenges and offers the shortest run (preliminary EVMWD findings).

Figure 1. Flagler Wells Piping Alternatives (EVMWD, 2014)
In addition to the new 18-inch main, EVMWD has requested the replacement of the existing pumps and motors
at each well with pumps capable of pumping into the TMV, which operates at an average pressure of 340 psi at
the proposed tie in point.
Chloramination facilities (12.5% sodium hypochlorite and 19% aqueous ammonia) will be added to the Well
2A/3A system as required by the California Department of Drinking Water. The chlorine feed system(s) will be
located near the wells with the ammonia feed system located downstream near the tie-in point. This
configuration allows for the disinfection of the raw water from each well with free chlorine prior to
chloramination through the addition of ammonia to provide the finished potable with a chloramine residual.
Water Works has identified four key issues that must be carefully considered, evaluated and addressed for
project success. Each of these issues are identified and discussed in detail in the following Project Approach
Section.

Project Approach
Our team already completed considerable research on this project, including multiple site visits; discussions
with Agency staff; design calculations; and equipment layout and costing. Our entire team has brainstormed
options and conducted preliminary analysis. Through this effort, we have identified and developed solutions for
many of the key issues, concerns, and constraints that will drive selection of the most cost effective
improvements. We have developed our approach to identify, address and mitigate every project constraint
within the District’s budget and schedule.
This preliminary effort provides Water Works the focus necessary to follow our Project Mission: Focus on the
District’s objectives and the project’s core functionality and provide effective, efficient design.

in a timely manner, which is of particular concern given the aggressive schedule the District is intending to
achieve for this project. A key component to developing innovative solutions is a thorough environmental
constraints analysis during the early design phase of the project, which allows for the:
Identification of potential project “show stoppers” early (i.e., cultural resources sites, sensitive biological
areas) and development of strategies to address these issues;
Increased certainty in terms of the environmental approval schedule because critical issues will be identified
and handled during the preliminary design phase and not as a costly change order during construction; and
Avoidance of costly delays by addressing key environmental concerns during project design by working
closely with the engineering team during the preliminary design phase to discuss sensitive areas to be
avoided before extensive time is expended designing an alternative that will not be carried forward.
Two examples of how our environmental constraints analysis approach will benefit the District are:
1. Alternative 3 is the shortest, however it will have extremely high impacts on existing environmental
features compared to Alternatives 1 &2 and thus can be eliminated without costly additional analysis.
2. Both Alignments 1&2 cross the unnamed drainage at the NW corner of the JW Mitchell Property. This
drainage has the potential to add significant environmental permitting constraints that can be costly
both with respect to time and budget. One alternative could be to cross that area utilizing a trenchless
construction method. During the environmental constraints analysis, Water Works will compare the
cost of permitting an open cut crossing with the feasibility and cost of a trenchless crossing. Given the
geotechnical conditions observed from the surface during our site visit, pipe ramming is the likely
preferred trenchless option that would be compared to open-cut.

Alignment Alternatives Analysis and Preferred Alignment Selection Workshop
Water Works will use the information gathered under initial tasks to develop a detailed cost estimate which will
be used to compare alignment alternatives and identify the recommended route. We shall produce an
Alignment Alternatives Analysis that is built on the premise that detailed research, field investigation, and
analysis during preliminary design will result in selection of a constructible, economically feasible project.
Selection of the preferred alternative / route is based on identifying and mitigating potential “hard” construction
related criteria (constructability issues that affect materials, equipment, and labor costs) and “soft” non-
construction constraints (environmental, right-of-way, easement procurement, outside agency coordination,
permitting, etc.). Through thorough examination of these issues, the preferred alternative / route balances
“hard” cost considerations with avoidance of “soft” complications. Completion of a thoroughly vetted Alignment
Alternatives Cost Estimate will provide the guidance for selection of the preferred alternative.
Water Works will facilitate a workshop discussion involving District staff to review the analysis process, discuss
results, summarize recommended alternative and confirm project next steps. Water Works will prepare a
workshop presentation materials including:
Alignment Alternatives Figures (Plan view and Profile where deemed appropriate)
Construction Constraints, summary (geotechnical, environmental, existing utilities, right-of-way, easement,
encroachment, concerns of key stakeholders, permitting, land-use);
Capacity Assessment Results / Facility Sizing / Design Criteria
Potential project phasing and tie-in strategies
Alignment Alternative Analysis Cost Estimation (Soft and Hard Costs)
Recommended preferred alignment alternative
Schedule confirmation (confirm critical path items for planning and design, Environmental processing,
permit processing, right-of-way/easement procurement construction phasing,)
Water Works will field and address District questions and comments. Water Works and District will leave the
workshop with mutually agreed upon preferred alignment and which design support services are required to be
completed as part of the project. We will immediately finalize production of Preliminary Design Report (PDR),
which shall present a succinct, clear, and concise set of design criteria. ENGINEER will incorporate questions and
comments from Preferred Alignment Selection Workshop into report. The PDR is intended to serve as the
foundation for detailed design as follows:
Identify engineering issues and constraints and recommended resolutions;
Provide detailed guidance for effective and efficient execution of final design;
Describe clear procedures for maintaining existing service and access during construction;
Illustrate tie-in requirements and expectations so District can confirm; and
Provide a detailed project description for use with permit applications and easement procurement.

ISSUE #2 – AGENCY COORDINATION, PERMITTING AND RIGHT OF WAY
CEQA Processing and Environmental Permitting
The results of the preliminary environmental constraints report and PDR can be used as the initial framework for
completing the CEQA document, technical studies (i.e., biological resources assessment, cultural resources
survey report), and regulatory permit applications. The level of environmental assistance required during Final
Design Phase will match the needs of the preferred alternative. As a public agency, the District is required to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) when it proposes to carry out or approve a project.
The District is expected to be the CEQA lead agency for the project because it has the primary responsibility to
approve the Flagler Wells Pipeline Connection project. Other agencies, such as the City of Corona or Riverside
County Water Conservation and Flood Control District will be responsible for issuing encroachment permits for
the project. It is likely that these other agencies would be identified as responsible agencies in the CEQA
document and would be able to use the District CEQA document for their approvals. It is anticipated that an
Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration will be required and developed in the following order:
Prepare and Administrative Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Prepare and Circulate Public Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
Prepare Final Mitigated Negative Declaration/Coordinate Project Approval
Subsequent to the CEQA approval process and in parallel with it where possible to expedite schedule, Water
Works will complete environmental permit applications for preferred alignment. If a portion of the selected
pipeline alignment affects sensitive resources (e.g., wetlands), as identified in the jurisdictional delineation,
Water Works team will complete the following permitting application assistance to obtain approval for
construction in affected areas as follows:
Prepare and submit to a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) to ACOE.
Prepare written request for Authorization under the 404 Nationwide Permit program, 1602 Streambed
Alteration Agreement and 401 Water Quality Certification.
Coordinate with ACOE, RWQCB, CDFW staff as needed, including meeting with regulatory staff in field.

effort to complete the acquisition process and can include easement description, title reports, nominal fee
valuations, negotiations and title and escrow coordination services all of which we are prepared to provide.
Direct injection of chlorine or ammonia into a water main with 340 psi of pressure is not advisable from a safety,
reliability, or cost standpoint. Chemical feed equipment, pumps and piping is generally not suited for high
pressure application. Leaks at high pressure can cause more risk of operator injury and having direct chemical
injection will increase the risk of a leak in the water main. In order to safely and effectively inject chemicals into
this system, a booster pump chemical feed loop will have to be used. A schematic of the booster pump chemical
feed loop is shown below:
The booster pump chemical feed loop provides for the injection of chemicals at low pressure, the connection to
the high pressure water main using standard tee connections and valves rated for the pipeline pressure, and
also provide mixing energy for the chemical being injected into the high pressure water main. If multiple
chemicals are being injected in one location, both chemicals can be injected into the low pressure section of the
loop if the process/treatment objectives allow it.

The purpose of the addition of chlorine and ammonia may be singular or two-fold. The RFP states that the
District intends to install chlorine feed system at the well head and an ammonia feed system near the
connection to the distribution system. This may accomplish two objectives:
a. The primary objective is likely to provide chloramination for disinfection residual in the distribution
system. This objective could be accomplished with chlorine and ammonia feed in the same location
using the same booster pump chemical feed loop.
b. A secondary objective may be to provide for the potential of needing to provide free chlorine
contact time adequate for 4-log virus inactivation for the well water prior to chloramination. This
would be required under the groundwater rule to avoid triggered monitoring requirements. CT for
virus inactivation is, of course, significantly shorter using free chlorine than using chloramine.
These process design/treatment objectives need to be examined carefully for this case. The most
comprehensive approach from a process design standpoint is to chlorinate at the well head and add ammonia at
the injection point to the distribution system, as stated in the RFP. However, maintenance and delivery access to
the sodium hypochlorite storage and feed systems for the well heads may be a significant challenge.
Additionally, having three chemical feed locations will be a more significant operation and maintenance effort
given that the chemical feed stations need to use the booster pump chemical feed loop in order to inject
chemicals into the high pressure water main.
It may be beneficial to consider an alternative of having a single chloramination station located at a site which is
convenient for chemical truck delivery, operation and maintenance access, and having provisions at each
wellhead to install temporary sodium hypochlorite feed systems in the event that a total-coliform positive (TC
Positive) sample is taken from the system and the triggered monitoring samples subsequently taken also have
fecal- indicator positives. The wellhead sodium hypochlorite feed systems would be planned corrective action in
the event that a TC Positive sample is found. This approach will be discussed with EVMWD and the potential for
cost savings, simplification of operation and maintenance, and reduced issues regarding chemical deliveries will
be balanced against the approach to regulatory compliance for disinfection.
3. Chemical Storage and Feed Facility Siting, Operation, Maintenance and Delivery Access
As discussed above, siting of the chemical storage and feed systems required for this project is a critical aspect
of long-term operational satisfaction with the work. Discussions with EVMWD regarding operator access,
maintenance access, and specifically chemical truck loading and unloading will be critical to deciding the overall
plan for chemical feed for chlorine and ammonia. Unfortunately, the sodium hypochlorite storage requirements
are, in general, larger than the ammonia storage requirements for chloramination systems, making delivery
truck access to the sodium hypochlorite storage tanks more critical. This makes siting of the facilities, along with
the process considerations discussed above, even more critical. Water Works Engineers will work with EVMWD
water quality, operations and maintenance staff as well as the chemical suppliers who will be serving the site to
make certain that the final configuration of the chlorine and ammonia storage and feed systems is an optimum
balance of all of the project needs for disinfection and disinfection residual.

The Preliminary Design is the roadmap for all subsequent design decisions on a project. It will be used by all of
the project design team members (electrical, structural, civil, CADD technicians, etc.) in the development of the
detailed design. We often refer to “aiming the cannon” when we talk about Preliminary Design development.
This is the most critical time to dig deep into each design issue and come to a decision on how all of the details
of the facility will be designed. Changes at the Preliminary Design level are far easier to manage than changes

late in the design process, both from a cost and quality standpoint. The Preliminary Design is generally
developed by a small team of engineers (the Project Manager and Project Engineer)
The Preliminary Design gives us the opportunity to efficiently and effectively review each design detail with our
EVMWD at the 30% Design Review Meeting/Workshop. The 30% Design Review Meeting/Workshop is a point in
the project which is early enough that changes can be accommodated without impacting project design budget.
This opportunity for our EVMWD to have a real impact on project direction and feel free to do so without
getting significant resistance plays an enormous role in project success.

Water Works Engineers will provide Dudek with project designs for each alternative alignment in
AutoCAD or GIS format, a study limits boundary (which includes alternative alignment locations), and a
written description of the project;
Additional studies necessary for CEQA compliance identified during Phase 1 or 2, which are not already
identified herein (if any) will be provided as additional services (none are anticipated at this time).
Dudek will complete required permitting (if needed) and will be responsible for submitting any required
permit applications (e.g., Clean Water Act Sections 401 and 404, Fish and Game Code Section 1602) and
filing fees will be paid by District. Services related to this are detailed under Phase 2 environmental
scope.
Preparation of Caltrans-specific technical studies and National Environmental Policy Act and CEQA-Plus
compliance documents will not be required.
In support of the overall Route Analysis / Preferred Alignment Selection, Dudek will conduct a preliminary
environmental evaluation of the proposed and possible pipeline alignments (study area). The study area is
expected to extend about 50 feet to either side of the current pipeline alignment. Three major alternative
alignments are anticipated. Dudek will coordinate with Water Works Engineers to establish a study area
boundary and provide a map depicting the boundary to the EVMWD prior to them beginning fieldwork. The
evaluation will include the following:
Review of existing information and reports relating to the proposed project, County/City General Plan
and Zoning Code, Flood Rate Insurance Mapping, and other readily available sources;
Review of initial biological and cultural resources information (specifically including identification of
special-status species that may be present in the study area; potential for wetlands, riparian vegetation,
and drainages in the study area; and potential for important cultural resources to be encountered in the
study area); and
Assessment of land use key issues of concern (e.g., noise standards, air quality concerns, land use
compatibility, traffic).
The findings will be compiled and presented in a brief technical memorandum for incorporation into the Water
Works Engineers Route Analysis / Preferred Alignment Selection and into the CEQA document for the project.
The memorandum will provide a general description of the environmental setting for the study area, include a
list of potential constraints by issue area, and provide supporting maps and graphics. The memorandum will
also identify the anticipated environmental documentation required to implement the CEQA process, potential

Dudek will submit an administrative draft IS/MND to EVMWD for review and comment and address comments
to produce a draft IS/MND for public review. Dudek will coordinate with EVMWD to distribute the document to
the public for a 30-day review period and can prepare the appropriate notices for the distribution (i.e.,
newspaper notice, public notice, Notice of Completion, Notice of Intent). EVMWD will provide the distribution
list and EVMWD will be responsible for posting Notices with County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. EVMWD will
also post the Notice of Intent in a local paper for one day at the beginning of the review period. Dudek
attendance at a public meeting during the review period is not included in this scope of work.
After the close of the public comment period, Dudek will review the public and agency comments, compile and
number all substantive comments, and provide written responses for each comment provided. Note: the level
of effort to respond to comment assumes up to 16 hours of technical staff time. Additional budget may be
required if extensive and substantive comments are received. Dudek will provide the EVMWD with a draft set of
responses to comments for review and approval. The draft IS/MND with any necessary revisions (assumed to be
minor) will become the Final IS/MND, and the Final written responses to comments will be included as part of
the Final IS/MND. Assuming comments warranting substantial revision or recirculation of the IS/MND are not
received, Dudek will complete the Final IS/MND which will include response to comments or EVMWD approval.
Dudek will coordinate the final stages of the CEQA process with EVMWD. CEQA approval would occur via
adoption of a mitigated negative declaration by the EVMWD Board. CEQA requires that the lead agency file a
Notice of Determination (NOD) with the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk after deciding to approve a
project for which a negative declaration has been adopted. Dudek will prepare the NOD for review and
signature by EVMWD and EVMWD will file it with the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk, with the
assumption that EVMWD will pay any necessary filing fees. Dudek attendance at Board meetings during the
CEQA review process is not included in this scope of work.
Compensatory mitigation may be required for some of the project impacts identified by Dudek during this
analysis. Because the requirements for and extent of the required mitigation cannot be estimated at this stage
of analysis, preparation of detailed plans to mitigate impacts to jurisdictional waters or other biological or
cultural resources is excluded from the work plan, except as described herein. Also excluded, are any other
technical studies not included above, regulatory permit applications, preparation of mitigation and monitoring
program (separate from the MMRP), an environmental impact report, and any National Environmental Policy
Act documentation.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Responsive - High Quality Work - On Time - On Budget - Enjoyable. These qualities are what we at Water
Works Engineers work every day to provide for our EVMWDs and how we want our EVMWD’s staff to describe
us during and after the execution of the project. Working to achieve these qualities informs all of our decisions
and drives our project performance at every level. Our Project Managers have a proven track record of
delivering high quality, on-time, on budget projects that have resulted in low- or no- change order construction
projects which have been completed on-time and functioned as intended. Water Works Engineers Project
Managers pride themselves in being responsive and responsible for all aspects of the projects in which they are
involved. They are not only aware and responsible for project management tasks and functions, but are
involved and integrated into the design decision making process at all levels with all disciplines.
Water Works Engineers Project Managers take the role of being in Responsible Charge of an engineering project
very seriously and work closely with all project team members to make certain the project is high quality, well-
coordinated, planned and detailed. Our Project Managers provide true single-point responsibility and contact for
our EVMWD’s to work with for all project issues. There are several Project Management Tools that we think are
significant to our success in delivering high quality projects that meet budget and schedule requirements, even
when those requirements fluctuate.
The Preliminary Design Report is the roadmap for all subsequent design decisions on a project. It will be used by
all of the project design team members (electrical, structural, civil, CADD technicians, etc.) in the development
of the detailed design. We often refer to “aiming the cannon” when we talk about Preliminary Design Report
development. This is the most critical time to dig deep into each design issue and come to a decision on how all
of the details of the facility will be designed. Changes at the Preliminary Design Report level are far easier to
manage than changes late in the design process, both from a cost and quality standpoint. The Preliminary
Design Report is generally developed by a small team of engineers (the Project Manager and Project Engineer)
The Preliminary Design Report gives us the opportunity to efficiently and effectively review each design detail
with our EVMWD at the Preliminary Design Workshop. The PDR Workshop is a point in the project which is early
enough that changes can be accommodated without impacting project design budget. This opportunity for our
EVMWD to have a real impact on project direction and feel free to do so without getting significant resistance
plays an enormous role in project success.

be effective, they have to be integrated into project delivery in a way that is well coordinated and does not
negatively impact project delivery. We achieve this optimal performance by engaging our Technical Review and
Quality Control team at the following milestones.
• Project Team Internal Kick-off Meeting. At this time, the scope is reviewed with the Preliminary Design
Team (generally the Project Manager and Project Engineer), the Principal-in-Charge, and the Technical Review
Committee. During the scope review, the Principal-in-Charge and Technical Review Committee have a first
opportunity to provide design insight, relay past company and personal experience, convey EVMWD-specific
considerations, and help focus analyses, prior to the Preliminary Design Team beginning development of the
Preliminary Design Report. During Preliminary Design, the Preliminary Design Team checks back with the
Technical Review Committee and Principal-in-Charge during critical analyses and sticking points.
• Preliminary Design Report Review. In conjunction with EVMWD review of the Preliminary Design
Report, the Preliminary Design Report is reviewed with the Technical Review Committee in an internal workshop
setting. At this time, the Technical Review Committee can assess where issues brought up in the Internal Kick-off
Meeting have been addressed, and point out areas where there may be specific design considerations to be
noted. At the internal workshop, the Preliminary Design Team reviews the Preliminary Design Report with the
Technical Review Committee as well as the remainder of the project design team (Structural Engineer, Electrical
Engineer, Staff Engineer (as appropriate), CADD Designers, etc.). In this way, all of the design concepts in the
Preliminary Design Report are efficiently finalized and communicated team-wide so that final design proceeds in
an organized and coordinated manner.
• Quality Control Reviews. At the subsequent deliverables (60%, 90% and Final), either the Principal-in-
Charge or one of the members of the Technical Review Committee performs detailed Quality Control reviews.
These reviews are the traditional step-by-step reviews of all of the design details and coordination. The detailed
design is checked for consistency with the Preliminary Design Report, as well as checked for interdisciplinary,
inter-drawing and plans-to-specs coordination. At the same time, an assessment is made of constructability,
operability and maintainability issues. The reviews follow a continually developed checklist that is updated on
every project review and disseminated throughout Water Works Engineers periodically so that everyone knows
what will be checked and self-regulates most issues.

project performance and allow for a change of approach, if necessary, in order to continue to meet budget
requirements.
SCHEDULE CONTROL
As the project progresses, the project schedule is reviewed and updated monthly in order to reflect current
project performance. Schedule performance is reviewed at each project meeting and communicated to the
EVMWD’s Project Manager as needed. When everyone has the same understanding and expectation regarding
schedule status, and communication is clear and thorough, project delivery will meet EVMWD expectations and
lead to overall project success.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Change is an inevitable part of projects. Therefore, change management is an essential part of project
management. Planning for change by developing appropriate guidelines and processes is crucial to successful
project execution. Projects do not fail because of change but because of a lack of clear, consistent direction and
leadership when confronted with the challenges of change. As changes appear during project execution, Water
Works Engineers Project Manager will work to accomplish the following in as expeditious a manner as possible.
We work hard to absorb project changes into existing project budgets, modifying approach and staffing to
accommodate the inevitable fluctuations in project scope. When these changes can be identified early, they
often can be managed without impact to the overall project budget. Again, the significant effort put into
Preliminary Design is an effective tool in exposing potential changes early and accommodating them with as
little impact to project cost and schedule as possible. Later changes or more substantial changes are handled by
working to fairly identify the cost of the additional work requested and agreeing to scope and fee prior to
proceeding so that everyone shares expectations.

Team Members
Sami Kader, Principal in Charge The SEGEP system originally comprised two pump stations feeding the pipeline as
Tim Durbin, Project Engineer well as three booster pump stations (Bear Canyon 1, Bear Canyon 2, and Bear
Jim Geselbracht, QA/QC Canyon 3); a fourth booster pump station was added later. Deterioration in
Craig Worrall, Lead Designer pipeline performance was observed as the SEGEP capacity decreased from 6400
gpm to less than 6000 gpm at certain times of the year. This decrease in capacity
Construction Team: was linked to increasing pressure losses across the pipeline, possibly due to
Terracon Piplelines, Inc. deterioration of the pipe wall or build-up of mineral or biological deposits on the
Ukiah Electric interior pipe wall. In addition, increased headloss in the pipeline caused suction
pressures to fall below the NPSH requirements of the pumps at Bear Canyon 1.

City of Redding Renoir Trenchless Replacement Project – Redding, CA (Assessment) The City of Redding
has attempted to replace the Renoir sewer line (300’ of 8” ABS pipe), which has a significant sag and
requires excessive maintenance. Difficult subsurface geotechnical conditions and insufficient surface access
have rendered those attempts unsuccessful. WWE conducted a preliminary site exploration to identify and
review potential alignments, construction alternatives, constraints and fatal flaws. After review, the WWE
team produced a Trenchless Alternatives Analysis supporting the use of pipe bursting (from 8” to 10”)
preceded by targeted compaction grouting (to reduce the sag) as the most feasible trenchless replacement
option. Key to the analysis was confirming vibration attenuation and potential heave would limit impacts on
the residential home foundations on both sides of the pipe alignment and an AC waterline paralleling it.
Technical specifications and contract drawings were developed for to complete the work as part of the City’s
ongoing Capital Improvement Rehabilitation and Replacement Program.

avoid impacts to sheep, determining likely sheep crossing points, determining potential habitat bridge
locations, and submitting a synopsis report.
Mountain View IV Wind Energy EIR/EIS Project, City of Palm Springs/Bureau of Land
Management, Riverside, California. Served as lead project biologist for the project. Dudek
prepared a joint EIR/EIS for the City of Palm Springs and the BLM. The project consists of two
development options for a 1,659-acre site. The first development option consists of 49 1,000-
kilowatt (kW) turbines. The second includes 58 850 kW turbines. Both alternatives involve the
installation of support facilities, including gravel-surfaced access roads, an electrical substation, and
an electrical transmission line to connect the turbines to the substation. The project also included a
compatibility analysis with the recently adopted Coachella Valley Multi-Species Conservation Plan.
The project site is within the City of Palm Springs corporate boundaries; however, the western half
of the project site is composed of BLM land, and the eastern half is private land under the
management of the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD).

ENGINEERING AND
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE DISCUSSION OUTLINE
The existing sewers in the Pottery Street area between Main Street and Granite Street
are only 6-inches in diameter rather than the standard 8-inch diameter. The sewers
have significant structural damage, which have required frequent cleaning and flushing;
during the flushing, broken pieces of pipe have come out at the Main Street terminus.
Staff has been unable to perform CCTV inspection of the pipe due to broken pipe and
pipe offsets that block the camera. In order to avoid sewer blockages and the additional
maintenance effort, the sewers need to be replaced.
When the Canyon Lake sewer system was originally constructed, most of the lots were
unoccupied and some of the sanitary sewer lines were not routed along property lines. A
house at 22400 San Joaquin Dr. West was built over one of these lines. This line was
built out of a section of cast iron pipe in an apparent attempt to mitigate structural
damage due to the house weight. Staff has performed a CCTV inspection of this cast
iron pipe and found it to be significantly corroded and near failure; therefore, the line
needs to be relocated and rebuilt. In order to relocate the sewer, an existing storm drain
pipe will also need to be relocated.
On March 27, 2014, the Board approved a Professional Services Agreement with Krieger
& Stewart (K&S) for design of the Pottery Street Sewer Project for $108,770 and San
Joaquin Drive West Project for $19,195. Based on the preliminary design effort for the
San Joaquin Drive sewer relocation, it was determined that in order to avoid the existing
storm drain, the start of the sewer realignment had to begin at a location further
upstream. This new location would require an additional easement, which is not within
the original design scope.
The additional scope of services is strictly for San Joaquin Drive sewer relocation
including additional topographic mapping, legal description and plats preparation, and
contract documents separation into two bid packages. As the effort to secure an
easement will require additional time, the decision was to have the project broken into
two bid packages so that the Pottery Street project can be bid ahead of this project.
Staff solicited and received the attached proposal from K&S in the amount of $5,600 for
the additional design services.
Staff plans to present this item at the January 22, 2015 Board meeting. After careful
review, Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services
Agreement with Krieger and Stewart in the amount of $5,600 for the Pottery Street
Sewer Project and the San Joaquin Drive West Project. This item, including overhead of
$280, as well as staff time and fringe benefits of $33,345.90 totals $39,225.90. The
additional staff time is related to the effort expended in soliciting, coordinating, and
negotiating the additional easement.
This project qualifies for a CEQA Class 2 exemption as replacement of existing facilities.
Staff will review the appropriate guidelines and prepare a Notice of Exemption for filing.

Per your request, we hereby submit our proposal to provide additional design engineering services for subject
project. These additional services are related to the additional topographic mapping and preparation of legal
descriptions and plats for the San Joaquin Drive West portion of the project resulting from the discovered
utility conflicts. In addition, we would appreciate District's consideration of Krieger & Stewart's expenses
incurred as a result of separating common set of contract documents into two separate sets of contract
documents.
A. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on our discussion, limits of replacement of the existing sewer will be expanded to the
upstream sewer manhole (easterly of San Joaquin Drive), which is outside the original
topographic mapping strip. Therefore, additional 200' long mapping strip is required.
Our proposal included preparation of one legal description and plat (for APN 353-111-010).
Since District's existing sewer easement width along additional sewer segment is insufficient
for construction of the new sewer, two additional legal descriptions and plats are required
(one for APN 353-112-036 and one for APN 353-112-028).
Our proposal was based on preparation of one set of contract documents (plans and
specifications) for Pottery Street Sewer and Relocation of the Sewer in San Joaquin Drive
West. Following our 90% submittal, and due to lengthy easement acquisition process, the
District has instructed Krieger & Stewart to separate the contract documents to avoid
potential construction delays of Pottery Street Sewer Project.
B. FEE ESTIMATE
Our fee for providing additional engineering services described above is estimated not to exceed
$5,600, summarized as follows:
Based on the above, we respectfully request that the $5,600 of additional services be authorized. If you have
any questions or need additional information, please call.
Sincerely,

- Sewer to be replaced
- Manhole to added/replaced
The Railroad Canyon Water Reclamation Facility (RCWRF) treats wastewater from the
Canyon Lake area and produces recycled water. During the last two years, the amount
of recycled water produced by RCWRF is less than the demand for recycled water for
irrigation in the Cottonwood Hills Development Area. The RCWRF has capacity to treat
and supply more recycled water. This project for a Trunk Sewer Junction and Flow
Control Structure will provide additional flow to the treatment plant.
Two parallel and adjacent trunk sewers from Canyon Lake and Tuscany Hills flow toward
the San Jacinto River and then follow a path parallel to the river. The Canyon Lake trunk
sewer flows to the RCWRF for treatment; the Tuscany Hills trunk sewer bypasses the
RCWRF and continues to the Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility for treatment.
Because RCWRF has the capacity to treat additional flows from Tuscany Hills, this
project will intercept the Tuscany Hills trunk sewer at a location closest to the Canyon
Lake trunk sewer just south of Via de la Valle. Wastewater flows can then be diverted
from the Tuscany Hills trunk sewer to the Canyon Lake trunk sewer through a sewer
junction structure. In addition, only flows from the Tuscany Hills trunk sewer can be
directed to either facility for treatment through a combination of open or closed gates.
On October 24, 2013, the Board approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA)
with Krieger & Stewart Engineering Consultants for design of the Trunk Sewer Junction
and Flow Control Structure, which included preparation of plans and specifications. On
June 26, 2014, the Board approved Amendment No. 1 to the PSA with Krieger & Stewart
for additional services that included preparation and review of the preliminary title report,
additional site visits by the survey crew, changes to the Junction and Flow Control
Structure concept and location, and investigation of flow isolation gate configurations and
materials.
The construction work was advertised for bid on August 29 and September 5, 2014.
Bids opened on September 23, 2014. The apparent low bidder, Pro-Craft Construction,
withdrew from the District's list of pre-qualified contractors and therefore is not eligible for
Contract award. The second low bidder, Downing Construction, Inc., was contacted and
had agreed to honor their bid amount to the end of January 2015.
Staff plans to present this item at the January 22, 2015 Board meeting. After careful
review, Staff requests that the next lowest bidder, Downing Construction, Inc. be
considered for approval of a construction contract for the Tuscany Trunk Sewer and Flow
Control Structure Project in the amount of $286,763. This item, including overhead of
$14,338, as well as staff time and fringe benefits of $33,345, totals $334,446.90.
A Notice of Exemption was filed with the Riverside County Clerk's office on July 1, 2014.

Mr. Jun Hwan Kim, owner of the adjacent parcel to the abandoned Encina Booster Pump
Station facility, contacted the District on April 19, 2013 requesting to purchase the parcel
from the District. See Exhibit A, Mr. Kim's letter requesting to purchase parcel.
Mr. Kim was informed he must acquire an appraisal of the property in order to make an
offer to the District based on the appraised value and was subsequently directed to the
District's real estate consultant, Marsha Swanson. See Exhibit B, the Appraisal Report,
valuing the parcel at $8,400.
Staff discussed this item at the September 4, 2014 Engineering and Operations
Committee meeting. It was determined that the District was required to notice various
public agencies of our intention to dispose of this parcel at Fair Market Value before the
property could be sold. Letters were subsequently mailed on October 27, 2014, and the
public agencies were given 60 days to respond in writing if they had an interest in the
property. See Exhibit C, List of Agencies.
Written notice has not been received from any of the public agencies; therefore, staff
recommends that the Board approve the property sale to Mr. Jun Hwan Kim.
Staff plans to present this item for approval at the January 22, 2015 Board meeting.
