Summary of
Proposed
Commission
Action:
Approve Amendment No. 2 to Wastewater Enterprise Contract No. CS -235, Planning and Engineering Services, Southeast Plant Biosolids Digester Facilities, with Brown and Caldwell, increasing the contract amount by $55,000,000 and extending the contract duration by three years and six months, for a total not -to- exceed amount of $208,500,000 and a total duration of 16 years; and authorize the General Manager to execute Amendment No. 2, subject to Board of Supervisors approval pursuant to Charter Section 9.118.
Background: The Biosolids Digester Facilities Project (BDFP) is the largest project in the Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP). The existing digesters and solids-handling facilities at the Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant (SEP) use outdated technology and are currently operating at the end of their useful life spans. The BDFP is replacing this aging infrastructure to maintain long -term regulatory compliance and system reliability.
The new replacement biosolids digester
facilities include: solids thickening, digestion pretreatment, anaerobic digestion, biogas utilization, dewatering, odor control, automated control systems, and related ancillary processes. The new facilities will promote sustainability and full beneficial use of biosolids and biogas and reduce odor and noise impacts to the neighborhood while improving aesthetics, in line with the Commission -endorsed SSIP levels of service.
On May 28, 2013, by Resolution No. 13-0086, this Commission awarded Contract No. CS -235, Planning and Engineering Services, Southeast Plant Biosolids Digester Facilities (CS-235), with an amount not -to-exceed $80,000,000, and a duration of 10 years, to Brown and Caldwell. On July 16, 2013, by Resolution No. 243- 13, the Board of Supervisors approved CS -235.
Brown and Caldwell is providing planning, design and engineering support during construction for the BDFP facilities under CS-235.
In June 2016, the General Manager recommended Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) as the best project delivery method to complete the design Contract: CS-235, Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant Biosolids Digesters Facilities Commission Meeting Date: June 28, 2022
and to construct the BDFP . On May 9, 2017, by Resolution 17 -0110, this Commission awarded CM/GC Contract No. WW -647R to MWH
Constructors/Webcor Builders Joint Venture (MWH/Webcor JV).
On March 13, 2018, by Resolution No. 18- 0042, the Commission reviewed and considered the Environmental Impact Report for the BDFP ( Case No. 2015- 000644ENV), adopted the California Environmental Quality Act (CE QA) Findings, including the Statement of Overriding Considerations and the Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program, approved the BDF P and authorized the General Manager to proceed with construction under Contract No.
WW-647R. On April 17, 2018, by BOS Resolution No. 109-18, the BOS adopted the CEQA Findings for the project, authorizing the City Controller to release funds for construction.
Cost Reduction Effort and Scope Changes/Re-Design
In October 2019, at the 95% design phase, the construction cost estimates came in significantly higher than expected with a longer construction duration than anticipated, which exceed ed the 2018 Sewer System Improvement Program (SSIP) baseline budget and schedule. The hi gher cost was attributed to site constraints/logistics, existing soil conditions, design progression and market conditions. The complexity and constrained site conditions also led to a longer than anticipated construction duration. The design team under CS -235, along with the CM/GC and SFPUC staff, conducted an extensive cost reduction effort to identify potential cost savings to mitigate the project cost and schedule impacts. The project team brainstormed ideas relating to the treatment facilities, specifications, site logistics, facility start- up, etc. The design team helped develop viable alternatives for consideration, assessed potential benefit or impacts to the overall project cost and schedule, and identified the level of re - design needed. On February 25, 2020, staff presented the Com mission with a BDFP update on this budget/schedule exceedance and the related cost reduction effort.
Maintaining the original project goals and Levels of Service, the SFPUC staff made the following major scope changes to pursue cost reductions:
• Improvements to the contract and design documents that are more reflective of a CM/GC approach and remove unintended constraints that could impact productivity and efficiency;
• Better and more efficient strategy for the odor control system; • Deletion of the two maintenance buildings from the BDFP; • Addition of a new Steam Generation facility to support the thermal hydrolysis process; and
• Deletion of the energy recovery facility and consideration of an alternate biogas end-use that would provide the highest value for the digester gas and potentially lower capital cost.
These scope changes required revisions to our design drawings and construction specifications. This re -design effort extends the BDFP design phase by approximately 16 months at an added consultant design cost of $17.5M.
Contract: CS-235, Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant Biosolids Digesters Facilities Commission Meeting Date: June 28, 2022
Brown and Caldwell completed the planning phase through the 35% design phase of the project in October 2016 and completed final design of the new biosolids facilities with the scope changes in January 2021.
Current Project Status
The BDFP construction began in 2019 and is well underway:
• Site preparation is complete with the relocation of existing utilities and demolition of existing infrastructure at the project site. • Shoring excavation, earthwork, pile foundation and other below ground work for the major biosolids infrastructure are complete. • The construction of the digester vessels with the concrete placement of the mat foundation began in April 2022.
• Procurement for the remaining subcontractor construction packages is on- going and will continue through the year.
• Construction will proceed through 2028.
The CS-235 team provide engineering support during construction by revie wing contractor submittals, responding to design- related Request for Information (RFIs), coordinating with the construction management (CM) and CM/GC staff to resolve issues in the field, and in general supporting the CM team on site.
The overall project budget for the BDFP is $2.37 billion with a total construction cost of $1.92 billion. CS -235 Amendment No. 2’s increase in contract amount and duration are included in the current budget , scope and schedule in the Commission-adopted Fiscal Year (FY) Capital Budget and 10 -Year Capital and Financial Plans for FY 2022-23 through 2031-32.
Description of
Scope of Services:
The work under this contract consists of specialized wastewater facility planning and engineering services for the BDFP and consists of two consecutive phases:
Phase 1 – Planning and Preliminary Engineering through 35% Design, and
Phase 2 – Detailed Design, Engineering Support during Bidding and Construction.
Previous Contract
Amendments
Amendment No. 1: On March 28, 2017, by Resolution No. 17 -0058, the Commission approved CS-235 Amendment No. 1, followed by Board of Supervisors Approval on May 9, 2017, by Resolution No. 169-17. Amendment No. 1 increased the contract amount by $73,500,000 and extended the contract duration by two years and six months, for a total contract not-to-exceed amount of $153,500,000, and total duration of 12 years and six months. The purpose of Amendment No. 1 was to increase the planning and engineering services necessary to support the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery approach, to provide continued engineering services through design completion, engineering support during construction and closeout, and facility start - up and
commissioning support.
Contract: CS-235, Southeast Water Pollution Control Plant Biosolids Digesters Facilities Commission Meeting Date: June 28, 2022
Proposed
Contract
Amendment
Proposed Amendment No. 2: Staff recommends the Commission approve the proposed Amendment No. 2 to CS -235, which will increase the contract by $55,000,000, and extend the c ontract duration by three years and six months, increasing the total contract not-to-exceed amount to $208,500,000, and the total duration to 16 years, subject to Board of Supervisors approval under Charter Section
9.118. This proposed Amendment No. 2 modifies the contract to reflect the revised, current BDFP schedule and the budget included in the Commission-adopted Fiscal Year (FY) Capital Budget and 10-Year Capital and Financial Plans for FY 2022-23 through 2031-32.
The Brown and Caldwell team provided leadership for the early phase cost reduction effort and performed the subsequent redesign to address the scope changes that came from that effort. All of this unexpected design work consumed a portion of the contract capacity that was intended for engineering support during construction. If approved, Amendment No. 2 will increase the contract value and duration to allow continued consultant support for the remaining project work and to reflect the added design work and extended duration of the design phase and the longer construction schedule to:
• Ensure that engineering support from the Brown and Caldwell team is available through the construction phase and through facility start -up and commissioning of the new biosolids facilities. The consultant team is the designer of record and it is essential for Brown and Caldwell to continue to address design questions, review construction submittals , provide record documents, update the design models, and provide training and expertise to support the start-up testing and commissioning of the new facilities.
• Provide specialized expertise for the planning and evaluation of the new biogas utilization facility for the alternative digester gas end use (renewable natural gas). Staff will u pdate the Commission and seek approvals for th e new biogas facility at a future date.
Budget & Costs: Funding: Funding is available from Project No. CWWSIPDP01, Biosolids Digester Facilities Project, subject to the release and certification of funds. The Biosolids Digester Facilities Project has received low -cost funding from (1) two federal Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loans totaling $904,391,157, both executed with the United States Environmental Protection Agency in June 2020, and (2) a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan, in the amount of $132,000,000, executed with the California State Water Resources Control Board in May 2020.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 24, 2022
To: Carolyn Chiu, Senior Project Manager, SFPUC
From: Vivian Liu, Contract Compliance Officer, CMD
Subject: Updated CMD’s Amendment #2 Review for CS-235 Planning and Engineering Services Southeast Plant Biosolids Digester Facilities
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (“SFPUC”) has requested to amend the contract amount and contract duration for the subject Contract. This Amendment will increase the contract amount by $55,000,000.00 for a total not -to-exceed contract amount of $208,500,000.00 and extend the contract duration by 42 months for a total contract duration of 192 months. Per the SFPUC’s Agenda Item, the SFPUC’s Amendment #2 request is to allow continued support from the Prime Consultant, Brown and Caldwell (“BC”), for the remaining project work, and to reflect the extended duration of the design phase and the longer construction schedule, and would specifically:
• Ensure that engineering support from the BC team is available through the construction phase and through facility start -up and commissioning of the new biosolids facilities. The consultant team are the designers of record and it is essential that they continue their participation in th e BDFP to address design questions, review construction submittals, provide record documents, update the design models, and provide training and expertise support during the start-up testing and commissioning of the new facilities.
• Provide specialized expertise for the planning and evaluation of the new biogas utilization facility for the alternative digester gas end use (renewable natural gas). Updates and approvals for this new biogas facility will come before the SPFUC Commission at a future date.

Amendment #2. In general, the shortfalls to the LBE projections are due to the SFPUC opting to perform some of the work with City staff and/or eliminating or moving the scope away from the CS-235 contract.
Detailed explanations for the shortfalls are provided below.
According to CMD’s Amendment #1, BC provided the following for Geotechnical Consultants, Hydroconsult Engineers and Meridian Surveying, which were also confirmed by the SFPUC:
Geotechnical Consultants, Inc. (“GTC”):
GTC’s participation was reduced in this contract because the SFPUC chose to have some of the GTC scope performed under a different contract (CS-203) prior to CS-235 NTP. GTC continues to provide all geotechnical engineering for the project. Due to the cost reduction and redesign in 2020 and existing site conditions, there was a need for additional geotechnical support and field work from GTC during design than originally projected. GTC has been performing field work during construction.
Hydroconsult Engineers, Inc. (“HCE”):
A portion of HCE’s scope (storm water planning) was performed by the SSIP program in coordination with Wastewater Enterprise staff, reducing their participation. Alternative work (technical document review/editing) was provided to HCE up to their capabilities.
Meridian Surveying Engineering, Inc (“Meridian”):
Meridian’s participation was significantly reduced because the SFPUC elected to self-perform most of their scope of work through San Francisco Public Works. Meridian’s work was completed during the planning phase of the project and there has been no additional survey scope during design or construction phases.
Moreover, upon recent further communications with BC, BC provided the following explanations as it relates to Alfred Williams Consultancy, BAYCAT, Gestalt Graphics, Omni Digital, SRT Consultants, and VACC. The SFPUC had also confirmed these statements:
Alfred Williams Consultancy, LLC (“AWC”):
AWC will be short of its original commitment for the entire contract because “the additional work that AWC received during Phase 2 was less than projected because the SFPUC transition from the BDFP- focused outreach to a more Southeast Plant-wide outreach effort and diverted most of the outreach work to SFPUC staff and to different consultants under the Southeast Plant Program Construction Management contract.”
BAYCAT:
BAYCAT is not anticipated to receive any additional work moving forward and will be short of its original commitment for the entire contract because “SFPUC self-performed much of the graphics and all of the social media work through their External Affairs staff. There was significantly less photography and videography needed for the SSIP and BDFP than originally anticipated. For a time sensitive video assignment, BAYCAT was not available, and another LBE was added to the team for the assignment.
There is no additional outreach, photography or videography work projected through the completion of CS-235.” As for the time sensitive video assignment BAYCAT was not available for, BC provided CMD the correspondences which shows that BAYCAT declined the work when the video assignment was offered to them back in May of 2018.
5 of 7
Gestalt Graphics (“Gestalt”):
Gestalt is not anticipated to receive any additional work moving forward and will be short of its original commitment for the entire contract. This is due to CS-235’s transition into construction phase— there will be less work related to desktop publishing services (Gestalt’s listed scope of work) during design and none during construction.
OMNI Digital Imaging, LLC (“OMNI”):
Though, OMNI will receive some additional work moving forward (reflected in the table below), OMNI will be short of its original commitment for the entire contract because the SFPUC will be requiring fewer paper copies of deliverables. Due to the transition from physical printing to mostly digital delivery, there will be less printing than originally estimated. That said, BC will continue to utilize OMNI for all specialty printing work that come up on CS-235.
SRT Consultants (“SRT”):
When some work originally planned for SRT was deleted from the project by SFPUC, other work (a 3 million gallon per day recycled water treatment system, ferric storage and distribution, plant recycled flow pumping, and polymer systems) was redirected to SRT staff. Early in the design, SRT became short- staffed when they lost their CAD/BIM person and was unable to hire a replacement. BC took on the CAD/BIM work for the SRT design areas but assigned additional work to SRT to provide QC review and specification work. This extra work did not fully address the gap from the loss of the CAD/BIM work, which explains the shortfall to SRT. In addition, the facilities designed by SRT were not greatly impacted by the cost reduction /value engineering effort; hence, there were few changes needed during the 2020 redesign.
Vibro-Acoustic Consultants (“VACC”):
Though, VACC will receive some additional work moving forward (reflected in the table below), VACC will be short of its original commitment for the entire contract. This is due to the disproportion of work between the anticipated amount of noise modeling work (VACC’s listed scope) that will be needed and the anticipated increase amount of the overall contract.
To note, HRA was added to the contract (reflected in Solis 3) in anticipation of the need to provide specialty field work associated with the Distributed Control System (DCS) support work. That need did not materialize, and there was no other scope on the project that they could perform. A contract was not issued to HRA and HRA’s participation is not included in CMD’s tables.
Finally, in good faith, BC increased three (3) of its other listed LBE firms’ (Saylor Consulting, SRT and Structus) participation for the entire contract (reflected in the table below) and also added five (5) LBE firms (Butterfly Sunrise, CHS Consulting, Inke Design, MEI Architects and Pacific Engineering) to its team after contract award in order to stay on track to meet its original overall LBE sub. participation commitment (also reflected in the table below).
Based on the foregoing and taking into consideration the proposed increase and the original contract amount, BC foresees that it will meet its original overall LBE sub. participation commitment of 14.12% with the following:
