ENGINEERING AND
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE DISCUSSION OUTLINE

Date: January 6, 2015

Originator: Warren Huang - Engineering

Subject: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WATER


WORKS ENGINEERS, LLC FOR DESIGN OF THE FLAGLER
WELL PIPELINE CONNECTION TO TEMESCAL VALLEY
PIPELINE

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION

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.

RE: Proposal to Provide Engineering Services


Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD)
Flagler Wells Conversion Pipeline Project (No. 75877)
Proposal

Dear Mr. Heidt:

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.

Very Truly Yours

WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT


FACILITY PLANNING AND PERMITTING
Preliminary project planning for any water or
wastewater treatment facility involves the definition
of the performance requirements, the selection of
the most cost-effective treatment process or
equipment type, and laying out the facility to provide
for future growth, economy and ease of operation.
Water Works Engineers are experienced in a wide variety of technologies. We don’t bring cookie-cutter
solutions. We consider a wide variety of evaluation criteria when recommending an option, and make sure to
consider your particular needs. Water Works Engineers project planning services include:

 Activated Sludge Model 1 (ASM1 and Biowin by Envirosim for biological treatment process simulation
and design
 Aeration System Calculations
 Hydraulic Calculations for Process Profile, including AFT Fathom for pressurized fluid system simulation
and design
 Plant-wide Water, Mass and Energy Balances
 Cogeneration Feasibility Analysis
 MINEQL+ and WaterPRO for water chemistry modeling

COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PLANNING AND DESIGN


Water Works Engineers understand that the infrastructure outside the treatment plant (water distribution
and wastewater collection systems) is often a City’s single largest investment. We pride ourselves to deliver,
on schedule and within budget, innovative and quality work products in all phases of a project. We have
extensive experience in gravity and pressurized pipelines; booster pumps and lifts stations; steel and
concrete storage tanks; metering and pressure reducing facilities; water quality monitoring stations;
manholes and junction structures. Our experience includes 90-inch interceptor design all the way down to
small backyard residential lateral and mainline replacements. We have experience with vertical turbine
wet/dry well solids-handling self-cleaning sewage pumps stations, as well as smaller “duplex” and “air-pot”
package stations. From 15-MGD booster pumps stations with 5-MG pre-stressed concrete storage tanks and
complex water age mitigation controls to 200,000-gallon bolted steel tanks serving 50 homes via a gravity
pipeline, we have the experience.

Water Works Engineers have completed water distribution computer models for large cities and 50
connection developments. These models have supported regional water supply planning efforts and simple
utility connections. Our engineers have utilized multiple water and wastewater hydraulic modeling
platforms (Sewer/WaterCAD, Water/SewerGEMS, InfoWater/Sewer, H2ONet, etc.) to complete extended
period simulation computer models to analyze and identify current and future pipeline capacity upgrades, as
well as develop mitigation recommendations for water quality concerns.

Our planning and design efforts often


facilitated the extension of utility service to
communities previously not served; extended
the life of existing infrastructure through
rehabilitation/repair; or provided new
facilities to replace aging infrastructure. Our
creativity and “big picture” vision, combined
with our “hands on” construction phase
experience, allows us to balance project
budgets and schedule demands with the
ever increasing environmental and political
constraints.

 Filtration performance assessment and optimization
 Disinfection byproduct formation minimization
 Taste and Odor Control
 UV Disinfection
 Recycling of residuals dewatering water

Water Works Engineers can pull from experiences on these projects to develop the most effective treatment
process for your systems.
GROUNDWATER TREATMENT
Water Works Engineers highly skilled and qualified professionals have been involved in over 100 groundwater
contaminant reduction projects. Since the beginning of the firm, groundwater treatment has been one of our
core competencies. Water Works Engineers staff have
conceptualized, designed, and overseen construction, start-
up and operational optimization for dozens of cost effective
groundwater treatment facilities across the West. We
understand the complexities of groundwater treatment for
both organic and inorganic contaminants as well as the
implications of various treatment approaches on waste
disposal, general water quality, corrosion control and
disinfection byproduct formation in
distribution systems.

CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT
Water Works Engineers has extensive experience in construction inspection, contract
administration, office services during construction (review of Contractor submittals,
Requests for Information, Requests for Change, etc.), final inspection and punch-list, and
as-built drawing production. We offer these services either in a traditional
Design, Bid, Build environment, or in conjunction with alternative delivery
methods. Our experience in working with contractors, operations and
maintenance staff, and owners helps keep projects on-schedule, on-budget
and high quality.

PREPARARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS


The preparation of high-quality contract documents for municipal water and wastewater projects not only
requires a thorough understanding of the construction and operational implications of various design choices,
but also requires the patience to work through the many small details that lead to a high-quality project. Water
Works Engineers offers experienced engineers who ask the hard questions and sweat the details to make sure
that the EVMWD is provided with a high-quality project. Water Works Engineers takes great pride in our
knowledge of technical design details that can make the difference in providing a great facility.

3-DIMENSIONAL CADD MODELING


Water Works Engineers performs detailed design using 3-dimensional
CADD tools. This is our standard practice and leads to better coordination,
integrated cross-checking and clearer contract documents. The 3-
dimensional CADD Model also functions as an invaluable communications
tool, allowing better and more thorough visualization of the finished
product at every stage of design, bidding and construction.
Production of 3-dimensional PDF files allow project team
members anywhere in the world to view the CADD model
and review a 3-dimensional image of the facility during any
stage of the design process. he 3-dimensional CADD models
provide a more clear understanding of facility geometry,
access and clearance issues, and overall system
functionality, help bidding contractors quickly understand
the project, expedite the bidding process, and help on-site
construction and inspection personnel quickly familiarize
themselves with the facility.

FACILITY START UP AND OPERATIONAL SUPPORT


The goal of any project is the creation of a fully functional, properly-operating facility. Taking the leap from
construction to long-term operation of a facility requires an understanding of the treatment process, mechanical
systems, instrumentation and controls, and how operations staff do their job. Water Works Engineers has
experience in the start-up and operational support for water and wastewater facilities of all kinds. We provide
start-up planning, operator training, process start-up support, loop-tuning support, regulatory compliance
testing and reporting, and troubleshooting of existing processes. We get our hands dirty and work by your side
to get new systems operating properly, or make existing systems work better.

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.

COLLECTION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE


Water Works Engineers offers proven experience in asset management; operation and maintenance program
development; water quality assessment, and regulatory compliance. Some of our expertise in this area
includes:

 Sewer System Management Plans (SSMP)  Predictive Asset Failure Modeling


 Lift Station and Manhole Inspections  Sewer Hydraulics and Modeling
 Closed Circuit Television Inspection (CCTV)  Flow Monitoring
 Standardized Defect Coding (PACP, MACP, LACP)  Infiltration and Inflow Assessment
 Construction Methodology Analysis  Smoke and Dye Testing
 Life-Cycle Cost Analysis / Business Case Review  C-Factor Testing

 Standardized Specifications  Hydrant Flow Testing
 Water and Sewer Ordinances  Water Quality / Flushing Programs
 System Mapping/GIS Data Integration  Overflow & Emergency Response Plans
 Computerized Maintenance Management  Standardized O&M Procedures (SOPs)
Systems (CMMS)  Fats, Oils & Grease Control Programs
 Field Data Information Management  Odor / Corrosion Control Programs
 Asset Prioritization Protocols  Public Outreach / Notification Programs

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AUDITS


 Water and wastewater treatment and conveyance are the most energy-intensive services provided by
municipalities. However, it also represents the largest controllable cost of providing water or wastewater
services to the public. Identifying and remedying excessive energy use can save municipalities significant
operational costs, and simultaneously qualify you for greenhouse gas or carbon emissions reduction credits, tax
incentives and utility rebates. Eureka WWTP
Water Works Engineers has the expertise to assist municipalities with water and wastewater energy usage
reduction as well as provide design of recommended upgrades. Water Works currently serves as the
water/wastewater energy efficiency sub-consultant to the California Energy Commission. In this role we have
conducted multiple water and wastewater energy efficiency studies, and have shared our knowledge in multiple
conference presentations. Water Works Engineers has provided energy efficiency improvement analyses,
optimization, and energy recovery design for multiple agencies throughout the west.

PIPE REHABILITATION/REPLACEMENT AND TRENCHLESS CONSTRUCTION


Our Northern California staff specializes in water and wastewater infrastructure condition and capacity
assessment; rehabilitation and replacement recommendations; capital improvement project planning and

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.

ALTERNATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY


Water Works Engineers has extensive experience in alternative project delivery, which is now 20% of our
business. While these delivery systems (design-build, CM at risk, job order contracting, etc.) are becoming far
more common in the delivery of water and wastewater conveyance and treatment projects, the breadth of our
experience successfully delivering these projects sets us apart. We have successfully executed projects ranging
from $0.5M to $56M in project value using alternative project delivery methods.

Water Works Engineers partners with contractors throughout


the West on alternative project delivery projects. Teaming with
a contractor best suited for the size, type and location of each
project makes us most responsive to project needs and
competitive on pricing and delivery times. Often, particular
contractors have extensive knowledge about project site
conditions, permitting agencies and processes, subcontractors,
etc. that make being flexible in construction partnerships a key
to providing the best end product for the facility owner.
Because we are solely focused on being an engineering and
design firm, we can provide engineering services to a variety of Nogales WWTP Design-Build Institute of
America Award 2010
contractors cooperatively, allowing selection of a contractor
who best suits the owner’s needs for each project. Water Works Engineers engineering and design staff have
learned, through experience, that the role of the Engineer when providing job order contracting or design/build
delivery is different, and certainly progresses at a different pace, than on a traditional design/bid/build project.
When working collaboratively with a contractor, whether with separate contracts with the owner (as in Job
Order Contracting) or as a subcontractor (as in Design-Build), the focus of the engineering work becomes
project facilitation. Our standard approach of three dimensional CADD modeling in facility design works very

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.

BIOSOLIDS AND POWER GENERATION


In a modern world where water and wastewater utilities have had to pivot from simple service providers to
resource managers, the importance of biosolids and the energy that can be derived from renewable sources has
become a considerable component of revenues and public perception.

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:

 Biosolids thickening facilities planning, selection, and detailed design.


 Fats. Oils. And Grease (FOG) receiving stations, including the analysis of associated effects such as
greater Nitrogen loads to the main treatment stream, rate structure of the various waste types,
increased biogas and energy generation, etc.
 Biogas cogeneration design and optimization
 Biogas desulphurization processes
 Hydropower generation by replacing pressure relief systems with turbines

Local Standards and building permit requirements

 Maintain project budget control, both in design and construction costs

 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

We have the experience, expertise and dedication to accomplish these goals.

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.

ISSUE #1 – PIPELINE ALIGNMENT CONSTRAINTS, SELECTION AND DESIGN


Identification, analysis and selection of the best pipeline alignment is key to successful design, permitting, and
construction of the project. The pipeline alignment can generally be broken into two segments. Segment 1
extends between wells 2A and 3A (well piping) and will be sized for flow from only the one well it serves
depending on which Segment 2 alignment is selected. Segment 2 extends from well 2A or 3A north or south
along the Temescal Wash (and conservation land) where at some point it must turn and head west until it
reaches the existing welded steel Temescal Valley Pipeline (TVP) located in Temescal Canyon Road. Water
Works will build on the alignment alternatives work already completed by the District depicted as Alternatives 1,
2, and 3 in the Flagger Well Piping Alternative Figure. There are a number of constraints that affect selection of
the exact alignment, including constructability (construction methods, shoring, dewatering, traffic impacts;
ground contamination, etc.); environmental impacts, mitigation, & permitting; right-of-way and private property
easement procurement; existing utility coordination; hydraulics; operation & maintenance and access. All of
these must be taken into account not only when developing and selecting the exact location of the pipe, but also
where and what improvements must be made to the well sites and the chemical feed facilities.

Environmental Constraints and Approach


The following is a preliminary list of key environmental issues based on our initial review of existing information
of the project area:
 Potential water quality effects to unnamed drainage at NW corner of JW
Mitchell property primarily associated with erosion / sedimentation during
excavation (potential trenchless crossing option to avoid?);
 Constructed-related impacts to special-status species or sensitive habitat
that may be in adjacent Temescal Wash and conservation land;
 Construction-related effects on existing, adjacent land uses, primarily urban
industrial uses, associated with noise, fugitive dust and access. The
preferred route will likely require permanent easement procurement; and
Unnamed drainage at NW corner of JW
 Construction-related effects to existing traffic along adjacent roadways, Mitchell property, adjacent to Temescal
including Temescal Canyon Road and possibly Cajalco Road. Wash and conservation land
Water Works team and the District will stay in close contact to ensure a shared
understanding of key engineering design and environmental issues and how both of these factors relate to
selection of the best pipeline alignment and support the environmental approval process. We pride ourselves in
our ability to develop innovative solutions to ensure that environmental approval for a project can be completed

Page | 11
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.

Pipeline Design Constraints


The following is a preliminary list of key pipeline design issues based on initial review of available information:
 The operating pressure for the well and TVP connection point average from 330 PSI to 350 PSI with
operational data monitored by District ranging from 320 PSI to 371 PSI. These conditions obviously
necessitate the selection of high pressure pipe, likely welded steel-mortar lined and coated pipe (WSP).
 Per District standards the maximum velocity for transmission lines is 3 fps, which could allow for the use of
16-inch or 14-inch diameter WSP depending on whether the maximum design flow is 550 GPM from Well 2A
and 900 GPM from Well 3A, totaling 1450 GPM or a de-rated maximum at Well 3A, totaling only 1250 GPM.
However, in addition to velocity design constraints, this pipeline must be sized to account for the contact
time required to properly operate the chloramination and ammonia chemical feed system being
contemplated. This additional requirement may result in the need to oversize the pipe to an 18-inch
diameter, which results in velocities less than 1 fps at low flow and only 2 fps at maximum flows. These low
velocities could result in settling of solids (like sand) in the pipeline. To address this potential constraint (if it
is confirmed as a concern during preliminary engineering), Water Works will analyze the addition of sand
filters at each well or utilization of a longer smaller diameter pipeline to maintain velocity and CT. A more
detailed discussion of Chemical Feed System Design and Siting constraints is provided in a subsequent
section of the proposal.
 The tie-in connection at TVP will require significant coordination. Water Works will develop strategies for
phasing construction to limit and/or address constraints on operations and public impact during
construction, including traffic control, pressure reduction needs (if any) at TVP, etc.
 After construction and start-up, O&M staff will require access to not only the well sites but the pipeline as
well. Selection and layout of the preferred pipe alignment must take into account this need. For the
pipeline this will come in the form of permanent utility easement around existing development, while an
access only easement may be able to be secured through the existing Temescal Canyon Storage Center.

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.

Public Agency Coordination


It is likely that several of the identified “other agencies” will have significant questions about the proposed
project and stakeholder meetings with those agencies will be beneficial to timely processing of the required
project approvals. Water Works will facilitate a meeting with each of the likely stakeholders (i.e. the City of
Corona, Riverside County Water Conservation and Flood Control District, etc.) using the results of the initial
preliminary design analysis. The intent of this is to identify stakeholder likely design requirements, permitting
and approval process (including CEQA drivers and requirements); and discuss key areas of concern for each.
Identified requirements will be incorporated into the design and Contract Documents as deemed appropriate.

Private Easement Procurement


All of the likely pipeline alignment alternative cross multiple jurisdictions and privately owned parcels. As a
result, the proposed pipeline will at minimum require encroachment permits for construction work and
easement documents for the pipeline. Water Works will assist with acquisition of permanent underground
utility easement and/or temporary construction easement. Easement and/or right of way services can vary in

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.

ISSUE #3 – CHEMICAL FEED FACILITY DESIGN AND SITING


There are several considerations regarding chemical feed facilities for this project:

1. Injection of Chemicals Into a High Pressure Water Main

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.

2. Process Design/Treatment Objectives

Scope of Services
Water Works Engineers and Flagler Wells Conversion Pipeline Project No. 75877
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District

Page | 15
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.

Task 3 – Preliminary Design


Paying special attention to the Preliminary Design is perhaps one of the most effective Project Management
tools available, having enormous impact on both project quality and project budgetary performance (both in
design cost and overall project cost). At Water Works Engineers, we place tremendous importance on the
Preliminary Design as it establishes a detailed definition of the project and refines the established schedule and
budget.

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

Page | 19
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.

Preliminary engineering activities will be separated into subtasks as follows:

SUBTASK 3.1 – UTILITY RESEARCH AND AGENCY CONTACT


Water Works Engineers recognizes that early documented coordination with the utility providers and the
various municipal and regulatory agencies is crucial to project success. The following subtasks will be executed
as early as possible in the Project schedule to establish good, trusted working relationships with the contacts,
gain utility provider and agency input early and minimize potential project delays.

3.1.1 - Utility and Agency Research


Water Works Engineers will contact Underground Service Alert (USA/SC) to request a substructure listing for the
area of the proposed improvements. In addition to potential utilities located near and through these areas, local
agencies will be determined that have jurisdiction in the project areas. The anticipated utilities and agencies are
as follows, at a minimum:

• Utilities
o Southern California Edison Company (Distribution and Transmission)
o Southern California Gas Company (Distribution and Transmission)
o Verizon and Other Telecommunications Companies
o Cable Television Companies
o Elsinore Valley Mutual Water District
• Agencies
o City of Corona
o County of Riverside
o Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District

3.1.2 – Notification and Determination of Scheduled Projects


Following the identification of the utility providers that have utilities in the proposed project areas and agencies
with jurisdiction in the area, Water Works Engineers will inform (in writing) them of the District’s Project and
request information on any proposed projects that are planned in the proposed project area. For any planned
projects identified by the utility providers or jurisdictional agencies within 3-months of the proposed schedule
for the Flagler Wells Conversion Pipeline Project, Water Works Engineers will obtain the project schedule and
incorporate it into Preliminary Design Report and Project Schedule. Every effort will be made to coordinate
project activities and minimize conflicts between projects.

Works Engineers will perform a thorough detailed search of all above and below ground utilities in the proposed
project areas. This search extends to both areas in the public right of way and those on private property. The
utility identification search will include (1) the search and examination of all pertinent “Record Drawings”, (2)
on-site inspections and (3) Underground Service Alert (USA/SC) requests for the proposed Project areas.

3.1.4 - Utility and Agency Coordination Documentation

utilities. Water Works Engineers will prepare a list of requested pothole locations (“soft excavation” of total of
25 locations) and present that list to EVMWD for review.
Water Works Engineers, with the assistance of potholing subcontractor, VCI Construction, will perform the
following at a minimum:
• Documentation of key utility locations and missing data information
• Notification of USA’s “Dig Alert”
• Field Survey

SUBTASK 3.3 – ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION


Dudek will provide environmental services for the project. Environmental services for the project could vary
significantly dependent on actual results of field and office data collection and analysis. For this reason,
Environmental Services have been broken into tasks and subtasks to identify constraints and mitigate the
potential affect. Phase 1 will include a preliminary Environmental Constrains Analysis necessary to assist Water
Works Engineers with identification of preferred alignment, as well as initial field studies to be conducted by
Dudek related to biological resources and cultural resources. Phase 2 will include CEQA compliance
documentation to support design and construction of preferred alignment. Phase 1 is described under this
subtask and Phase 2 under separate subtask.
The following understanding of the project environmental setting defines the assumptions used to develop the
environmental scope of services.
Project Understanding - Possible alternative alignments along segments of the pipeline are expected to be
identified to avoid potential environmental constraints, such as wetlands and sensitive habitats.
Role of Agencies - As a public agency, the EVMWD is required to comply with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) when it proposes to carry out or approve a project. The EVMWD 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. We assume these
other agencies would be identified as responsible agencies in the CEQA document and would be able to use the
EVMWD CEQA document for their approvals.
Requested Services - Dudek will be responsible for completing the requisite CEQA documentation for the project
and will work in concert with EVMWD and Water Works Engineers to complete this task.
Key Assumptions. Provided below is the list of assumptions made concerning services:

Scope of Services

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District

Page | 22
 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.

3.3.1 – Phase 1 of Environmental Services - Environmental Constraints Analysis / Field


Studies
Phase 1 Environmental Constrains Analysis will include the following services.
Environmental Subconsultant, Dudek will complete the following:
 Review topographic maps of potential alignment alternatives provided by Water Works Engineers.
 Conduct biological reconnaissance survey and create baseline biological resources map with vegetation
communities.
 Water Works Engineers and EVMWD will work together to produce map of route with an agreed-upon
width consistent with potential alignment options.

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

3.3.2 –Phase 2 of Environmental Services - CEQA Compliance Documentation &


Permitting
Phase 2 environmental services will include CEQA compliance documentation to support design and
construction of preferred alignment. Under this task, Dudek will document CEQA compliance for the project
and coordinate with EVMWD on completing the CEQA review process. The Information collected during the
environmental constraints analysis is expected to inform the decision on the alternative that will be the subject
of the CEQA document. Based on our experience with these types of projects and the project area, we
anticipate that a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be the appropriate CEQA document. We have presented a
scope for a Mitigated Negative Declaration:

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration


The project is located adjacent to Temescal Wash, and conservation land. Dudek works extensively in the
project area and understands the sensitive resources in the area. We assume the project would not generate
major controversy such that an environmental impact report would be necessary.
In support of the CEQA analysis, and given the project location, Dudek will conduct technical analyses which will
be located in the Appendix of the IS/MND. The technical analyses to be conducted as part of our scope of work
includes: air quality/greenhouse gas modeling; biological resources assessment; cultural resources assessment;
jurisdictional delineation; and noise impact analysis.
Dudek will prepare an IS/MND using the environmental checklist form included as Appendix G of the CEQA
guidelines (or other format preferred by EVMWD) to analyze environmental impacts and identify appropriate
mitigation measures. The document will be prepared in a narrative format that describes the environmental
setting for the study area, summarizes the results of the technical studies (biological resources assessment,
cultural resources investigation, etc.), identifies potential impacts resulting from the proposed project, and
recommends mitigation measures (as appropriate). Each issue area covered in the environmental checklist
(Appendix G) will be evaluated at a suitable level of detail to fully address all potential impacts of the proposed
project. The IS/MND will only analyze the preferred project alternative at a full level of detail. Water Works
Engineers will provide a comprehensive project description and adequate details to fully analyze the effects of
the proposed project (e.g., from the PDR). Since mitigation measures are expected, Dudek will also prepare a
comprehensive Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) to ensure that measures identified in the
IS/MND are implemented. The MMRP will include:
• Mitigation requirements by environmental topic or resource area;
• Criteria for measuring success and/or completion of mitigation;
• Party(ies) responsible for implementation; and
• Party(ies) responsible for monitoring/reporting.

Page | 24
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.

Environmental Permitting in Support of ISMND Portion of Alignment


If a portion of the selected pipeline alignment affects sensitive resources (e.g., wetlands), as identified in the
jurisdictional delineation, Environmental Subconsultant, DUDEK, 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.
• Up to one site visit with regulatory staff if needed.
• Coordination with ACOE, RWQCB and CDFW staff as needed but up to 24 hours.

SUBTASK 3.4 – PRELIMINARY DESIGN ROUTE SELECTION
The preliminary design route selection task is intended to investigate the possible pipe alignments and provide a
recommended pipe alignment for further analysis and design. The preliminary design route selection will
incorporate the utility and agency contact findings (Subtask 3.1), Phase 1 environmental constraints analysis
findings (Subtask 3.3.1), preliminary geotechnical findings (Subtask 5.1), pothole results (Subtask 3.2) and the
field and aerial survey results (Subtask 4.1). At a minimum, the following concerns will be addressed in the
Preliminary Design Route Selection:

• Impacts to traffic during construction of improvements


• Ability to access and maintain facilities
• Construction impact on adjacent utilities
• Any modifications necessary for existing utilities
• Any additional right-of-way, temporary or permanent easement required, or permits required
• Other agency concerns
• Criteria established by the Department of Health for separation from water lines and other utilities
• The excavation requirements for construction
• Interference with business interests during construction

Preliminary design route selection activities will be separated into the following subtasks:

3.4.1 – Review Available Information and Conduct Site Reconnaissance


Water Works Engineers shall complete preliminary field investigations and research necessary to necessary to
complete initial feasibility and alternatives analysis. The results of this task will be presented to the EVMWD for
discussion and consensus on approved alternatives that will be developed in more detail under the subsequent
preliminary design task(s). During initial review and reconnaissance, Water Works Engineers will catalogue
available existing planning and design documents from EVMWD and review prior to site reconnaissance. Water
Works Engineers will facilitate site reconnaissance of likely pipeline alignment alternatives. It is anticipated that
key members of Water Works Engineers team (as well as select EVMWD staff) will be present during site
reconnaissance to identify and discuss key areas of concern and constraints and likely design alternatives and
feasibility.

3.4.2 – Construction Methodology Assessment (Open Cut versus Trenchless Options)


Water Works Engineers shall conduct a construction methodology assessment to identify and confirm the
viability of traditional and trenchless construction options along the alignment. This shall include a review of cut
& cover traditional construction and trenchless auger bore and jack of the environmental constraint locations.

3.4.3 – Disinfection Facilities


Water Works Engineers will evaluate the existing water quality data provided by EVMWD and past
correspondence records with the Department of Drinking Water (DDW) to assess the disinfection requirements
for the Project (i.e., free chlorine demand of raw water, chlorine contact time, desired chloramine residual, well
operation scenarios, etc.). Once the water quality goals and disinfection requirements are established, the
preliminary sizing of the sodium hypochlorite and ammonia chemical feed systems and associated support
facilities will be completed. A preliminary layout of each of the chemical feed system facilities will be composed
to present to and gain input from EVMWD (operation and maintenance, accessibility and safety preferences)

and provide a rough footprint for each of the systems for siting considerations of the disinfection facilities and
pipeline route selection.

3.4.4 – Wellhead Facilities


The existing wellhead facilities will be evaluated, relative to the increased service pressure and existing
condition, for potential reuse in the design of the new facilities. The wellhead facilities that will be evaluated and
selected include the following at each well site, at a minimum:

• Well Pump and Motor


• Flow Control Valve
• Valves and Piping
• Electrical System
• SCADA System

3.4.5 – Flush to Waste Piping


Water Works Engineers will investigate the requirements of a flush-to-waste system from the well head to (1)
the Temescal Wash and (2) to the adjacent RV Park’s parking lot storm drain water polishing facilities. This
investigation will include the investigation and analysis of the volume, retention time, hydraulic viability,
pipeline alignment and environmental constraints of each flush-to-waste option.

3.4.6 – Pipeline Sizing Materials of Construction Review


Water Works Engineers shall identify, discuss and make recommendation for pipeline and mechanical
equipment for project implementation. This will include a review of the pipeline sizing (for both hydraulic and
chlorine contact time requirements), pipeline materials and restraint systems that should be considered for the
elevated operating pressures (>340 psi) and potential for aggressive soils. The EVMWD standards and Accepted
Materials Guidelines will be utilized as a starting point for this analysis.

3.4.7 – Construction Phasing / Tie-In Strategy Analysis / Site access and Traffic Control
Water Works Engineers shall develop strategies for phasing construction to limit and/or address constraints on
operations and public impact during construction, as well as staying within EVMWD budget and schedule.

3.4.8 – Route Analysis Cost Estimating (Soft and Hard Costs)


Water Works Engineers will use the information gathered under initial tasks to develop a conceptual cost
estimate which will be used to compare alignment alternatives and identify the recommended route. Water
Works Engineers shall produce a route 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
Route Analysis Cost Estimate will provide the guidance for selection of the preferred alternative.

FINAL DESIGN
Water Works Engineers will prepare the necessary contract documents (construction plans, typical details,
specifications, and cost estimates) for the project, based on the design criteria, recommendations and 30%
Preliminary Plans included in the Preliminary Design Report, input from EVMWD staff, and in conformance with
EVMWD’s standards and specifications for equipment preferences. If provided, Water Works Engineers will use
EVMWD standard front end (Division 0) contractual documents (Contract, General Conditions, Special Project
Conditions, Bid Form, etc.) If none provided, Water Works Engineers will use readily available Water Works
Engineers provided Division 0 bid documents. The preparation of contract documents will be completed in
three submittals: 75%, 95% and 100% (Bid Documents) Submittal Documents. Prior to each submittal, the work
product will be reviewed through Water Works Engineers QA/QC process and, upon submittal to the EVMWD,
will have been reviewed and revised in accordance with the QA/QC plan.

EVMWD may elect to perform the review of the 75% and 95% design submittals in one of two ways (no change
in schedule or fee) as shown in Option A and B below:

Option A – Submittal Review Meeting (as shown in the Project Schedule):


1. Submit Design Submittal
2. EVMWD Review (75% - 2 weeks; 95% - 3 weeks)
3. Design Review Meeting

Option B – Submittal Review Workshop:


1. Submit Design Submittal and Hold Submittal Review Workshop
2. EVMWD Review (75% - 2 weeks; 95% - 3 weeks)

In the case that EVMWD chooses Option B – Submittal Review Workshop, the contents of the submittal will be
presented to EVMWD to familiarize the group with the information being submitted and the design thought
process behind the work. Following the Project Review Workshop, the EVMWD will have a 2- or 3-week review
period to provide any additional comments which were not brought forward in the review workshop.

For the purposes of quantifying effort and fee for this scope of services, it is assumed that one set of Bid
Documents shall be developed for this project. Production of multiple sets of separate independent Bid
Documents to support phased public bidding of construction shall be considered additional services.

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.

Project Management Tool #1 – Preliminary Design Report


Paying special attention to Preliminary Design is perhaps one of the most effective Project Management tools
available, having enormous impact on both project quality and project budgetary performance (both in design
cost and overall project cost). At Water Works Engineers, we place tremendous importance on the Preliminary
Design Report. The Preliminary Design Report (PDR) establishes a detailed definition of the project and refines
the established schedule and budget.

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.

Project Management Tool #2 – Quality Control and Technical Review


Continuous Quality Control and Technical Review is a key tool in Water Works Engineers project management
philosophy. Quality, budget and schedule performance are all optimized when technical issues are identified and
resolved as early as possible in the project delivery process. In order for Quality Control and Technical Review to

Scope of Services
Water Works Engineers and Flagler Wells Conversion Pipeline Project No. 75877
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District

Page | 51
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 Management Tool #3 – Project Schedule


A preliminary project schedule is presented below, designed to provide the project in the timeframes envisioned
by the EVMWD in the RFP. The schedule will be maintained and updated on the basis of project demands,
funding procurement, permitting status and other EVMWD requirements, and an updated schedule
communicated to the EVMWD’s project manager periodically during project execution.

Project Management Tool #4 – Monthly Metrics Assessment


COST CONTROL
Cost control starts with a detailed Scope of Work. The Scope at multiple levels will be developed for each key
task and will be used to manage the overall schedule and budget. The Scope of Work is the framework for all
project tasks and provides data for subsequent productivity, budget analysis, and team accountability. Defined
elements of work and associated budgets are provided to the team who will be responsible for delivering the
defined scope within the negotiated budget. Monthly check-ins on budget performance provide feedback on

Page | 52
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.

• Identify the change


• Analyze the effects of change
• Develop a response strategy
• Communicate the strategy and gain endorsement for the change
• Revise the work plan and monitor the effects of change.

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.

included conducting habitat assessments and focused surveys for arroyo toad, California
gnatcatcher, least Bell’s vireo, southwestern willow flycatcher, fairy shrimp, and other species.

Tributary Areas 3 and 8 Environmental Monitoring, U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp
Pendleton, San Diego County, California. Served as project manager and primary biologist.
Implemented categorical exclusion permit requirements supporting installation of an upgraded
sewer system over a portion of the base. This required writing a monitoring and compliance plan;
initiating habitat assessments over portions of the system which had the potential to affect least
Bell’s vireo, California gnatcatcher, and arroyo toad; and monitoring activities on a regular basis in
accordance with the monitoring plan.

Retrofit Project, Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, Riverside County, California. Managed
the biological resources portion of this project, which proposed to install new larger trams. The new
tram cars required rock and tree removal adjacent to the tram alignment to ensure safe usage. Initial
tasks included conducting focused surveys for mountain yellow-legged frog and golden eagle (Aquila
chrysaetos), vegetation mapping, reporting, and coordination with the resource agencies. Was later
responsible for determining the best way to convey peninsular bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis
cremnobates) across the Tram Road and onto the adjacent alluvial fan. This required interviewing
numerous state, federal, academic, and field bighorn sheep biologists, devising alternative methods to
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

Date: January 6, 2015

Originator: Warren Huang / Larry Rein - Engineering

Subject: AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES


AGREEMENT WITH KRIEGER & STEWART FOR ADDITIONAL
DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE POTTERY
STREET SEWER PROJECT AND RELOCATION OF THE
SEWER IN SAN JOAQUIN DRIVE WEST PROJECT

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL WORK STATUS

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.

Subject: Pottery Street Sewer and Relocation of the Sewer in


San Joaquin Drive West (Project Nos. 75867 and 75875)
Additional Engineering Services

Dear Mr. Rein:

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.

We have prepared the following Scope of Services and Fee Estimate:

A. SCOPE OF SERVICES

1. Additional Topographic Mapping

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.

2. Additional Legal Descriptions and Plats

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).

3. Contract Documents Separation

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:

> Additional topographic mapping $500.00


> Two additional legal descriptions and plats $4,000.00
> Separation of Contract Documents (plans and specifications) $1,100.00

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,

ENGINEERING AND
OPERATIONS COMMITTEE DISCUSSION OUTLINE

Date: January 6, 2015

Originator: Warren Huang / Larry Rein - Engineering

Subject: AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO DOWNING


CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE TUSCANY TRUNK SEWER
AND FLOW CONTROL STRUCTURE PROJECT

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION

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.

PROPERTY SALE

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION

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.
