Recommendation:

Authorize City Manager to Sign Agreement of Professional Services between the City of Calexico and LEE & RO, Inc. in the Amount of $282,814.00 for Engineering Design Services for Chlorine Conversion Project - Gaseous Chlorine Feed System to Liquid Hypochlorite Feed System at Water Treatment Plant and Eastside Water Reservoir.

Background:

On March 28, 2024, the City of Calexico Public Works Department began requesting proposals from qualified engineering professionals to provide engineering design services for Chlorine Conversion Project - Gaseous Chlorine Feed System to Liquid Hypochlorite Feed System. The City proposes to convert from a gaseous chorine system to a 12.5% bulk sodium hypochlorite disinfection system.

The City owns and operates a Water Treatment Plant ("WTP) and Eastside Water Reservoir ("EWR"). The WTP receives its water supply from the Colorado River through the Imperial Irrigation District's ("IID") canal. The City's WTP has a design capacity of 14 Million Gallon per Day ("MGD"), with an average daily demand of 9 MGD and current peak flow of 7-8 MGD. The EWR has a design capacity of 6 MGD, with an average daily demand of 1.25 MGD. Both the WTP and EWR currently operate on gaseous chlorine water disinfection system to disinfect the water prior to discharging it into the City's supply lines. The City has concerns regarding the usage of chlorine gas as a disinfectant, as chlorine gas is toxic and poses dangers to the public and operations staff. The WTP is located adjacent to residential and commercial areas, schools and the Calexico International Border and the EWR is located adjacent to residential area. Both facilities pose a significant high risk of chlorine gas exposure to the public.

With the conversion of Gaseous Chlorine Feed System to Liquid Hypochlorite Feed System the City with have a cost savings on the following operation and maintenance:
• Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) Annual Permit ($5,000 per year) • CUPA California Accidental Release Prevention Program ($18,000 every 5 years) • Annual Chlorine System Maintenance at WTP and EWR ($50,000 per year) • Annual Quantitative Fit Testing ($1,800 per year)
• Replacement of Scrubbers at WTP and EWR ($152,000 every 10 years) Please note that the City of Calexico is the only City in the Imperial Valley that continues to have a Gaseous Chlorine Feed System.

Discussion and Analysis:

On April 18, 2024, the Office of the City Clerk received one (1) proposal from the following company:

All such work shall be completed no later than June 31, 2025. Time is of the essence for every provision of this agreement that states a time for performance and for every deadline imposed by the City.

3. Compensation. Compensation to be paid to Consultant shall be as set forth in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Payment by City under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of defects, even if such defects were known to the City at the time of payment.

Consultant's bills shall include a brief description of the services performed, the date the services were performed, the number of hours spent and by whom, and a description of any reimbursable expenditures. City shall pay Consultant no later than 30 days after approval of the monthly invoice by City staff.

5. Ownership of Documents. All plans, studies, documents and other writings prepared by and for Consultant, its officers, employees and agents and subcontractors in the course of implementing this Agreement, except working notes and internal documents, shall become the property of the City upon payment to Consultant for such work, and the City shall have the sole right to use such materials in its discretion without further compensation to Consultant or to any other party. Consultant shall, at Consultant's expense, provide such reports, plans, studies, documents and other writings to City upon written request.
6 Independent Contractor. It is understood that Consultant, in the performance of the work and services agreed to be performed, shall act as and be an independent contractor and shall not act as an agent or employee of the City. Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits which accrue to City's employees, and Consultant hereby expressly waives any claim it may have to any such rights.

Interest of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by and during this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and
b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).) Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant's field of expertise.

9. Indemnity. Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, the City, and its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its agents in the performance of services under this contract. This indemnity does not apply to liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense arising from the sole negligence, willful misconduct or defects in design by the City or its agents, servants, or independent contractors who are directly responsible to the City, or the active negligence of the City. 2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Consultant shall (1) immediately defend and (2) indemnify the City, and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. The Consultant's obligation to indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability is caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, then Consultant's indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability.
(b) The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant's duty to indemnify. Consultant shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees, immediately upon tender to Consultant of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Consultant are responsible for the claim does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Consultant asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, Consultant may submit a claim to the City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs in proportion to the established comparative liability of the indemnified party. (c) The review, acceptance or approval of the City's work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the City's indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives completion of the services or the termination of this contract. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not affect the provisions of this contract relating to insurance.

3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING capacity of 14 MGD, as well as to provide redundancy, LEE + RO recommends two (2) double wall type, 4,000-gal capacity The City of Calexico (City) owns and operates a Water Treatment storage tanks for a total storage volume of 8,000 gals.

Plant (WTP) and the Eastside Water Reservoir (EWR). The WTP receives its water supply from the Colorado River through the Eastside Water Reservoir Imperial Irrigation District's (IID) canals. The City's WTP has a For the EWR, LEE + RO's approach for the storage of the bulk design capacity of 14 million gallons per day (MGD), with an sodium hypochlorite will also be based on a minimum of 14 days average daily demand of 9 MGD and current peak flows of 7-8 of on-site storage. At the EWR site, the sodium hypochlorite will MGD. The EWR has a design capacity of 6 MGD, with an average be injected at three application points - the reservoir inlet, the daily demand of 1.25 MGD. The WTP and EWR both currently reservoir outlet, and the recirculation pipe. Based on discussions operate a gaseous chlorine water disinfection system to disinfect with City personnel, the target chlorine residual level is 0.4 the water prior to discharging it into the City's supply lines. The mg/L, as the purpose for adding chlorine at the EWR is to boost City has expressed concern regarding the usage of chlorine gas chlorine residual levels prior to distribution. At the design flow of as a disinfectant, as chlorine gas is toxic and poses dangers 6 MGD, two (2) double wall type, 250-gal capacity storage tanks to the public and operations staff. Since the WTP is located are sufficient to meet the target chlorine residual level. adjacent to residential areas, the risk of chlorine gas exposure to the public is greatly increased in the unlikely event of a The most common tank materials used for sodium hypochlorite large leak. LEE + RO's understanding is that the City desires to storage are fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), high density convert from a gaseous chlorine system to a 12.5% bulk sodium linear polyethylene (HDLPE), or high-density cross-linked hypochlorite disinfection system. polyethylene (HDXLPE). We recommend a HDLPE tank because (1) it is more economical than a FRP tank, and (2) no cracking issues from UV radiation due to an indoor installation. These Technical Approach will be further evaluated and presented in the Feasibility Study/ Preliminary Design Report.

In this section we discuss our approach to implementing the desired improvements. A summary matrix of the preliminary Chemical Pumps design criteria that is described in more detail in this approach is LEE + RO recommends peristaltic pumps for hypochlorite Included as Exhiblt 3-1 on the following page. injection to a pre-clarifier, a pre-filter, and a clearwell at the WTP, and for injection to the reservoir inlet, outlet, and recirculation

12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite Storage Tanks pipe at the EWR. Peristaltic pumps are compact in size, have low capital costs, have a high turndown ratio, and are relatively Water Treatment Plant easy to maintain. There are fewer components (e.g. tubing) LEE + RO's approach for storage of the bulk sodium hypochlorite in contact with the chemical. They come with leak detection at the WTP will be based on a minimum of 14 days of on-site for tubing failures, and they do not experience pump priming storage. Based on discussions with City WTP Operations issues. Their disadvantages include a limited discharge pressure staff, the WTP's summertime maximum chlorine consumption (less than 125 psi or 290 feet of head), the feed rate slowly is currently 260 pounds per day (Ibs/day). Each pound of diminishes over time due to degradation of the tubing, and chlorine gas is equivalent to one gallon (gal) of 12.5% sodium the tubing must be replaced at regular intervals to prevent hypochlorite solution, so the equivalent 12.5% sodium failure. The recommended peristaltic pump is equipped with a hypochlorite solution would be 260 gals/day. As such, at a peak tube replacement alarm function, which will alarm and notify flow of approximately 7-8 MGD, the WTP would consume 260 O&M staff to replace the tube before it fails. Additionally, gals/day of sodium hypochlorite, so one (1) 4,000-gal capacity our preliminary evaluation indicates that total dynamic head storage tank will provide sufficient storage (260 gals/day x 14 losses at injection points are not significantly high, and the days is 3,640 gals). However, to accommodate the full design recommended peristaltic pumps can be used.

chemically compatible materials, such as polyethylene (PE) tubing or PVC, should be used in sodium hypochlorite applications Inside the chemical building, the chemical piping will be rigid PVC between the pump and storage tank, whereas flexible PE tubing will be used between the pump discharge and the injection points at WTP and EWR. Piping located outside of the chemical building containment area should be double-walled. Exposed plastic piping located outside of the building, including double-walled ontainment piping shall be CPVC, which exhibits better UV resistance than PVC. All buried plastic piping will be PVC.

A - Sample Proposal Evaluation Form
B - Sample Consultant Agreement and Insurance Requirements I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The City of Calexico ("City") is requesting proposals from qualified engineering professionals to provide engineering design services for Chlorine Conversion Project - Gaseous Chlorine Feed System to Liquid Hypochlorite Feed System. The City proposes to convert from a gaseous chorine system to a 12.5% bulk sodium hypochlorite disinfection system.

The City owns and operates a Water Treatment Plant ("WTP") and Eastside Water Reservoir ("EWR"). The WTP receives its water supply from the Colorado River through the Imperial Irrigation District's ("IID") canal. The City's WTP has a design capacity of 14 Million Gallon per Day ("MGD"), with an average daily demand of 9 MGD and current peak flow of 7-8 MGD. The EWR has a design capacity of 6 MGD, with an average daily demand of 1.25 MGD. Both the WTP and EWR currently operate on gaseous chlorine water disinfection system to disinfect the water prior to discharging it into the City's supply lines. The City has concerns regarding the usage of chlorine gas as a disinfectant, as chlorine gas is toxic and poses dangers to the public and operations staff. The WTP is located adjacent to residential and commercial areas, schools and the Calexico International Border and the EWR is located adjacent to residential area. Both facilities pose a significant high risk of chlorine gas exposure to the public.

The contract will be regulated according to the provisions of all federal, state and local laws and ordinances that are applicable. This includes compliance with prevailing wage rates and their payment in accordance with California Labor Code, Section 1774.

Consultant shall, at Consultant's expense, provide such reports, plans, studies, documents and other writings to City upon written request.
6 Independent Contractor. It is understood that Consultant, in the performance of the work and services agreed to be performed, shall act as and be an independent contractor and shall not act as an agent or employee of the City. Consultant shall obtain no rights to retirement benefits or other benefits which accrue to City's employees, and Consultant hereby expressly waives any claim it may have to any such rights.

Interest of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered by and during this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant's services hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.

Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and

9. Indemnity. Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, the City, and its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its agents in the performance of services under this contract. This indemnity does not apply to liability for damages for death or bodily injury to persons, injury to property, or other loss, damage or expense arising from the sole negligence, 14 willful misconduct or defects in design by the City or its agents, servants, or independent contractors who are directly responsible to the City, or the active negligence of the City.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Consultant shall (1) immediately defend and (2) indemnify the City, and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees from and against all liabilities regardless of nature or type that arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the Consultant, or its employees, agents, or subcontractors. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution. The Consultant's obligation to indemnify applies unless it is finally adjudicated that the liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of an indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability is caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, then Consultant's indemnification obligation shall be reduced in proportion to the established comparative liability.
(b) The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from Consultant's duty to indemnify. Consultant shall be obligated to defend, in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings, with counsel approved by the City, the City and its councilmembers, officers, agents, and employees, immediately upon tender to Consultant of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination that persons other than Consultant are responsible for the claim does not relieve Consultant from its separate and distinct obligation to defend under this section. The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes an obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Consultant asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the comparative active negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party, Consultant may submit a claim to the City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees and defense costs in proportion to the established comparative liability of the indemnified party. (c) The review, acceptance or approval of the City's work or work product by any indemnified party shall not affect, relieve or reduce the City's indemnification or defense obligations. This Section survives completion of the services or the termination of this contract. The provisions of this Section are not limited by and do not attect the provisions of this contract relating to insurance.
