The Cloverdale Plaza stage is the City’s primary event space for Downtown events including the Friday Night Live (FNL) concert series and the Chamber of Commerce’s Winter Festival. The stage serves as a focal point for local gatherings. The wooden open-air design, while aesthetically appealing is affected by weather conditions. During the summer months, FNL seeks temporary solutions to reduce sun exposure on visiting musical artists and there is often a need to deploy tents on the stage for events during the winter months. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
Staff is proposing to purchase an all-weather stage cover for the Plaza stage. The proposed stage cover is essential for providing protection from the weather year around for musical artists and other activities on the stage. City staff obtained a quote from Redwood Empire Awning in the amount of $14,071.85. City staff is also proposing the purchase and installation of two commercial fans which will require minor modifications to the stage electrical system. The estimated cost for the purchase of commercial grade fans and electrical work is $2,500. Including a 10% contingency the total cost of the project is $18,229.00 (See Table 1).

Addendum #1 to the Memorandum of Understanding for School Resource Officer (SRO) between the City of Cloverdale and Cloverdale Unified School District for a School Resource Officer _______________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Adopt A resolution Entitled, “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Cloverdale Approving Amendment No. 1 To The Memorandum Of Understanding Between The City Of Cloverdale And Cloverdale Unified School District For A School Resource Officer And Authorizing The City Manager To Execute Said Agreement.”
________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
Since 1994, the City of Cloverdale and the Cloverdale Unified School District have been working together through Cooperative Agreements. These agreements have been updated as needed, with the most recent revision occurring in response to the retirement of the former School Resource Officer (SRO) in May 2017.
During this time, City staff and School District staff collaborated to update the Cooperative Agreement. As part of these updates, the School District requested the elimination of a class section at the high school that was taught by the SRO, focusing on introducing students to careers in First Responder roles.
Chief Ferguson started drafting a separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the School Resource Officer (SRO) program between the Cloverdale Unified School District and the City of Cloverdale in November 2019. By early March 2020, the Police Department shared a revised version of the MOU with the Cloverdale City Attorney and the Cloverdale Unified School District Superintendent, Jeremy Decker, for feedback.
Following this, Superintendent Decker and the City Attorney provided recommendations for further revisions to the draft, leading to the completion of the final version of the MOU by the department on March 11, 2020.
In December 2022, the Council passed Resolution 121-2022, authorizing the City Manager to execute a restated Memorandum of Understanding between the Cloverdale Unified School District and the City of Cloverdale. The current Cooperative Agreement is included as an attachment to this resolution. The Police Department's objective in updating the existing Cooperative Agreement was to develop a more comprehensive agreement with clear language outlining the responsibilities of both the School District and the Police Department, as well as detailing a fee structure for SRO services over a three-year period and an updated shared cost of $50,000 by the School District. The enhanced SRO role was designed to increase the Police Department's presence on School District campuses, fostering direct interaction with students. __________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The initial plan was for a full-time SRO role to be filled once the 10th officer was hired and completed field training successfully. However, challenges in recruitment due to economic and competitive factors have made it harder to fill this position.
45 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: March 13, 2024
Due to staffing limitations, the Cloverdale Police Department has not been able to place an officer in the SRO position on a full-time basis. As a result, Amendment No. 1 to the SRO MOU is proposed to allow the School District and Cloverdale Police Department to introduce the SRO position one day a week until the department is fully staffed with a 10th officer. Amendment No. 1 would allow the Cloverdale Police Department to utilize current budgeted funds while having the School District honor their commitment to help fund this position responsibly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________ Options:
1. Refer the SRO Addendum to back to Subcommittee for further review and discussion; and/or
2. Do not recommend further action on the Addendum to the SRO MOU at this time; or
3. Provide alternative direction to City staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
The Draft SRO MOU Addendum was recommended for review by the City Council by the Finance Administration And Police subcommittee.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:
The fully burdened position of a full time officer is $228,960.00 not including any required overtime. The School District originally agreed to pay a portion of the salary for the position totaling $50,000 per school year with guaranteed funding for three years. The new addendum would allow the School District to contribute at an hourly rate of $34.66 under the addendum and billed monthly. The General Fund would be responsible for covering the cost difference. The remaining balance is estimated at $15,916.00 for the remaining fiscal year 2023/2024. The 2024/2025 budget has not been approved yet but the impact to the remaining 2024 calendar year would be $18,900.00. Both amounts identified can be accommodated in the current / proposed budgets.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the temporary amendment promises contained herein, the Department and the City agree as follows:
Addendum to the MOU between the Cloverdale Unified School District and the City of Cloverdale:
Temporary Agreement for the School Resource Officer Program This addendum serves as a temporary agreement to initiate the School Resource Officer program while ensuring that the Cloverdale Police Department reaches the agreed-upon staffing level of 10 Police Officers before assigning a full-time School Resource Officer. The implementation of this program will begin one day a week, depending on the schedule of the Identified School Resource Officer. The assigned officer will work on this day as overtime, in addition to their regular 40-hour work week.
Temporary Adjustments:
D. Schedule:
Currently, Officer Rhodes has agreed to work on Mondays (1 day a week), 8 hours a day, from 07:30 AM to 3:30 PM, until May 6th, which coincides with a scheduled Shift Change in the department (to commence Monday, March 25th, 2024).

Sign onto the Town of Windsor’s Letter of Commitment for a Regional Biosolids Facility.
Recommended Council Action:
Adopt A Resolution Entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Authorizing Signing onto the Town of Windsor’s Letter of Commitment for a Regional Biosolids Facility.” Background:
The City of Cloverdale participates in the Russian River Reuse Collaborative (R3C) which is a regional wastewater focused collaboration staffed by agency leaders in the Russian River watershed. The R3C meets approximately every two months to discuss upcoming projects and grant opportunities with a focus on being competitive for grant funding opportunities. The Town of Windsor took the lead to create the group and facilitates the meetings. This regional collaboration is gaining momentum and is anticipated to be formalized in the future through a Memorandum of Understanding.
The City of Cloverdale’s wastewater treatment facility processes the City’s wastewater to secondary standards.
During wastewater treatment the liquids are separated from the solids. Those solids are then treated physically and chemically to produce nutrient-rich semisolid organic matter known as biosolids. The City currently contracts for biosolid removal approximately every three years. The most recent Cloverdale Biosolids removal project occurred in Fiscal Year 2021/2022 with bids ranging between $200,000 and $600,000.
Due to new regulations, biosolid removal and disposal costs are expected to increase dramatically in the coming years. This issue is one of the many topics discussed during the R3C meetings, including discussions around the benefits of constructing a biosolids treatment facility that could serve the region. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The Town of Windsor is planning for a Water Reclamation Facility Modernization Project in which they will construct a biosolids treatment facility. The proposed facility will treat biosolids to Class A, exceptional quality biochar which could be used by residents and agriculture for fertilizer. Biochar is a lightweight black residue, made of carbon and ashes, remaining after the pyrolysis of biomass, and is a form of charcoal which can be used as a soil additive. Biochar can improve plant health through neutralizing acidity, provide improved water and nutrient retention, improve drainage and aeration, and provide habitat for beneficial soil microbes.
Windsor staff has obtained the services of a consultant to apply for grant funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Act program to construct the biosolids treatment facility.
Windsor can apply for grant funding as an individual agency or as a coalition. Because regional projects are more grant competitive and biosolids disposal is an issue for various agencies throughout the region, Windsor is asking for various entities to sign onto their Letter of Commitment as part of the funding application.
Windsor will move forward to construct the facility whether it is grant funded or not with an anticipated cost of $50M. If other agencies are interested in applying for funding as a coalition, Windsor would ask for additional funds to expand facility construction so participating agencies could use the facility. Windsor is prepared to cover the costs of the funding application due April 1, 2024. Fees to use Windsor’s facility are anticipated to cover operational expenses and be less than if Cloverdale contracts for biosolid disposal. 57 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: March 13, 2024
Signing onto the Letter of Commitment will not obligate Cloverdale to funding the project or sending their biosolids to Windsor; however, the City is being asked to provide minimal data and feedback for the grant application. The facility in Windsor is expected to bring value to Cloverdale through reduced biosolids disposal costs and increased beneficial reuse of a waste product. Staff recommends signing onto the Letter of Commitment.
Ongoing participation in the project will require the City to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to be drafted by Windsor and submitted to the US EPA by July 1. The MOA will state the City’s agreement to participate in the project and agree to federal stipulations in the grant award. The MOA will be brought forward for City Council consideration in the future if the City chooses to participate.

Letter of Commitment: Windsor Water Reclamation Facility Modernization Project Funding Opportunity Number: EPA-R-OAR-CPRGI-23-07
We are writing to express our collaboration, commitment and participation in the project titled “Windsor Water Reclamation Facility Modernization Project” (Project), led by the Windsor Water District Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). This coordinated grant application to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program will directly support the following entities: the Town of Windsor, the City of Healdsburg, the City of Cloverdale, the City of Santa Rosa, Sonoma Water, and the Lytton Tribe. (collectively, the “Collaborative”).
The Collaborative is invested in advancing the goals outlined in the US EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Program and building on years of climate change investments throughout Sonoma County. The EPA funding will enable the construction of a biosolids treatment plant that is protective of long-term climate resilience and adaptive capacity in Sonoma County by aligning multiple communities across the county in a regionally collaborative approach to climate risk reduction. This will be accomplished through the construction of a new biosolids treatment plant that will provide regional capacity to produce approximately 1,250 dry tons of Class A EQ biosolids per year for beneficial reuse in the immediate geographic area.
When constructed, the Collaborative will have access to a local biosolids handling facility, thus increasing environmental benefits through a reduction of solids volume, and an increase in beneficial reuse, thereby decreasing current vehicle miles traveled from the current off haul of biosolids to other counties for limited reuse or disposal.
The biosolids project will utilize pyrolysis, which has been demonstrated to reduce per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC). This self-sustaining technology will result in an approximately 90% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the WRF current process. The regional component of these projects means the benefits will extend well beyond the Collaborative’s relative jurisdictions.
The Collaborative recognizes that by converting what was once considered waste into a valuable resource, it can mitigate the release of GHGs and align the operations of the Project with the principles of climate change reduction. The Collaborative is positive that having a regionally available biosolids handling facility will act as a solution for other communities within the County making the Project a scalable solution that can significantly amplify impact and contribute to climate change reduction. DRAFT 61 The Program will play a transformative role in changing how water and water-related climate change risk are managed in Sonoma County, and the Collaborative represents a long-term and intentionally crosssector collaborative of agencies, community organizations and stakeholders seeking a more integrated and community-driven approach to addressing climate change impacts that already taking a serious toll on communities throughout northern California.

Agenda Item Title:
Consider a Professional Services Agreement with West Yost & Associates, Inc. to provide engineering services for the design of new water storage tanks to replace the existing Southcrest Reservoir.
Recommended Council Action:
Adopt A Resolution Entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Approving a Professional Services Agreement with West Yost Associates to Provide Engineering Services for the Design of new water storage tanks to replace the existing Southcrest Reservoir.” Summary:
The City of Cloverdale needs to replace the existing Southcrest Reservoir (also known as Cherry Creek Road Tank/Reservoir). The existing Southcrest Reservoir water tank, constructed in 1966, is the oldest tank in the distribution system, contains lead in the exterior coating, has interior corrosion, and does not meet current seismic or structural standards. The Southcrest Reservoir serves Zone 1 of the City’s distribution system which includes approximately 2,000 connections and accounts for 67 percent of the City’s water demand (per the City’s 2010 Water System Master Plan Update). Zone 1 has three gravity storage reservoir locations with a total of 2.5 million gallons of storage.
In April 2021, MOE Engineering Inc., completed a feasibility study for the tank. The feasibility study evaluated four alternatives, with total storage at the site ranging from 400,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons. MOE Engineering’s recommended alternative would demolish and replace the existing tank with a 500,000-gallon tank; however, City staff favors two-tank alternatives since they afford the possibility of keeping the existing tank in service while a new tank is constructed and would provide operational redundancy for future maintenance. Further, MOE Engineering’s recommendations included updating the City’s 2010 Water System Master Plan, including a hydraulic model analysis to determine if the proposed tank alternatives will operate and contribute to the City’s storage needs as desired.
As a result of MOE Engineering’s recommendations, West Yost Associates was separately authorized through the City to complete a hydraulic model analysis of the existing Zone 1 water system. The purpose of this analysis was to determine impacts to the Zone 1 area in the vicinity of the tank should the existing tank need to be taken offline during construction, including meeting reliable normal demands and fire flows during construction of the preferred alternative. In addition to the hydraulic model analysis, West Yost’s tasks included a peer review of MOE Engineering’s feasibility study to identify any data gaps or additional studies that might be required prior to tank construction, assess an implementation schedule, and identify opportunities to perform work concurrently. The final technical memorandum was provided to the City in February 2024.
The hydraulic analysis found that under near-term demand conditions there will be a slight storage deficit in Zone 1, which will increase if the Southcrest Reservoir is taken offline. Under buildout demand conditions, there will be a storage deficit in Zone 1 of 0.09 MG and 0.29 MG, with and without the existing 200,000-gallon Southcrest Reservoir, respectively. In addition, the peer review recommends that the site analysis from the 2021 feasibility study be revisited to explore previously unconsidered areas for the location of a second tank, with a potential benefit of lowering project costs for a two-tank solution.

SUBJECT: Southcrest Water Storage Tank Design Proposal
Dear Mr. Kelley:
West Yost is pleased to submit this proposal to provide engineering services to the City of Cloverdale (City) for the design of new above-grade steel water storage tanks at the Zone 1 Southcrest tank.
OVERVIEW
In April 2021, MOE Engineering completed a feasibility study (FS) that evaluated options and made a recommendation for the replacement of the Southcrest tank. The recommended option was to replace the existing 200,000-gallon tank with a single 500,000-gallon tank. That option requires the existing tank to be demolished; therefore, per the Study, site water storage would be taken out of service for up to nine months.
Recently completed hydraulic modeling confirmed that the existing tank can be taken offline during construction. Consequently, the City prefers to demolish the existing tank and construct two new tanks, to provide redundancy.
A hydraulic analysis is currently underway by separate authorization with West Yost to evaluate the City’s Zone 1 and the impacts associated with the replacement of the Southcrest tank. The purpose of the evaluation tasks is to:
• Evaluate ultimate Zone 1 storage needs based on the latest water system demand projections. • Assess whether improvements are needed to meet zone demands including fire flow during any construction outage at the Southcrest tank.
• Provide a peer review of the 2021 Feasibility Study by MOE Engineering to identify unmet needs, data gaps, or other evaluations that should be undertaken before commencing construction on the preferred tank replacement alternative.
The peer review task is underway, and specific data gaps have been identified. The gaps are included in this scope and described below.

N-M-CITYOFCLOVERDALE-LP-2023_C T Southcrest
Subtask 2.3. Surveying
The survey conducted by MOE is insufficient for the proposed project; therefore, a supplemental surveying and mapping task is included. The surveying and mapping will include the following:
• Topographic survey coverage area will include the easterly one acre of the subject parcel extending 130 feet west of the existing water tank.
• Topographic survey will be provided on NAVD88 vertical Datum and NAD83 horizontal datum.
Subtask 2.4. Geotechnical Investigation
The previously completed geotechnical investigation was incomplete and recommended tank foundation improvements that, in our opinion, are unnecessary and would add significant cost the project. Consequently, we proposed to conduct a supplement geotechnical investigation to ensure the recommended geotechnical improvement are appropriate for the existing soil conditions.
The site is underlain by Franciscan Melange bedrock at shallow depth. A preliminary review of published information indicate there are no known landslides or active faults mapped at the site. We anticipate the primary geotechnical consideration for design will be temporary and permanent support of planned excavations required for tank pad construction. Our proposed investigation will focus on the collection of geotechnical data for use in evaluating geologic hazards (e.g., landslides and slope stability) and the development of geotechnical design input (e.g., tank subgrade preparation and tank foundation bearing pressures).
Field Exploration and Lab Testing
• Two (2) borings up to 50’ deep. one (1) at the top of the slope, one (1) boring near the new tank pad, and one (1) shallow boring west of the new tank pad • Percolation testing in shallow boring located west of new tank pad • Planning, County permitting, health & safety plan, coordination • Underground utility locating survey in area of planned borings • Geologic mapping of site including bedrock exposures in cut adjacent to existing tank • Review of aerial photographs and published geologic maps • Geotechnical laboratory testing of boring samples
Engineering Analysis
• Data analysis, boring logs, site geologic map development • Soil nail design criteria development
• Percolation test evaluation
PM, Coordination, and Reporting
• Project management and design team coordination meetings (2 virtual meetings) • Prepare draft geotechnical report for review
• Finalize geotechnical report addressing review comments 69 David Kelley
January 12, 2024
N-M-CITYOFCLOVERDALE-LP-2023_C T Southcrest
Task 2 Assumptions
• City will provide historical information such as as-built records of the tank and underground piping, connections to the distribution system, upcoming or ongoing electrical and instrumentation designs by Others, and other internal or external communications that pertain to the Tasks. • Typically, the contractor prepares the necessary traffic control plan and SWPPP, and obtains the associated permits; therefore, preparation of traffic control plans and SWPP has not been included in our scope.
Task 2 Deliverables
• CAD and PFD of the topographic survey.
• Draft and final Geotechnical Report.
Task 3. Environmental Compliance
Given the potential effects of the proposed Project, it is recommending the preparation of a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). Our subconsultant, Area West Environmental, Inc. (AWE), will conduct the IS/MND study. Their scope includes the following tasks and necessary technical studies.
Subtask 1. Biological Resources Technical Memo
AWE will prepare a technical memo that describes existing conditions for the Project site and that provides the information necessary for CEQA compliance. AWE will perform background review including database review from: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s California Natural Diversity Database, the California Native Plant Society, U.S. Geological Survey maps, and aerial photographs. The technical memo will also include information regarding the potential for special-status species or sensitive habitats to occur in the Project area, an analysis of impacts on biological resources, and recommended measures to minimize or avoid potential Project impacts. This task will include a one-day reconnaissance site visit to the Project site to identify biological resources present.
Subtask 2. Cultural Resources Report
AWE will conduct an archaeological resources evaluation and a historic resource evaluation and prepare a cultural resources report. The cultural resources report would include database and information center searches, a pedestrian survey, and Native American coordination. Background research would include reviewing National Register listings, a cultural records search from the Northwest Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System, and the California Native American Heritage Commission's sacred land files. The existing water tank on site, built in 1966, is more than 50 years old and may qualify as a historic resource. After reviewing database results and completing background research, AWE’s qualified archaeologist will complete a pedestrian survey of the Project site. Additionally, AWE will produce letters to aid the City in Assembly Bill (AB) 52 consultation with local Native American tribes in the vicinity of the Project. Letters will be sent on City letterhead to all Tribes who have requested notification from the City. The letters will include an invitation to participate in an environmental review for the Project, a brief Project description, a Project location map, and a request to respond within 30 days of letter receipt.
Letters will be sent via certified mail to document receipt. AWE will attend up to one onsite field meeting with interested Tribes if requested.

N-M-CITYOFCLOVERDALE-LP-2023_C T Southcrest
Subtask 3. Visual Impact Analysis
Concerns resulting from the visual difference of the Project site from nearby residences were identified in the Feasibility Study performed by MOE Engineering, Inc. Therefore, AWE recommends a visual impact analysis to support the CEQA document. The visual impact analysis will describe the effects of the Project on the existing visual character of the site because of Project implementation. It will describe the existing character of the site and surrounding environment as seen from surrounding public and private viewpoints and evaluate the anticipated changes to the visual character resulting from the development of the Project.
The effects of the removal of vegetation and construction of new facilities on views from publicly accessible roads will be discussed. AWE will qualitatively address impacts on nearby public views, using photos to highlight the results of the aesthetic analysis. The visual assessment will result in a technical memorandum including the results/efforts of a field visit, research and review of municipal plans and Project information, and the preparation of photo exhibits and maps and development of photo simulations. This task would include a site visit; photographs will be taken at this time to be used in the analysis, for graphics, and for the photo simulations.
Subtask 4. CEQA Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration AWE will prepare an Administrative Draft IS/MND to comply with CEQA for the Project. The IS/MND will define the Project objectives and describe the proposed improvements. It is the goal of the IS/MND to support adoption by the City and provide the Project with CEQA compliance. The draft IS/MND will include a Project description, a list of responsible agencies who may rely on the IS/MND, and the permits or approvals required for Project implementation. The IS/MND will describe the affected environment and environmental consequences of Project impacts. AWE will use the CEQA Guidelines/Appendix G checklist as a basis for the IS/MND. AWE will apply the results from subtasks 1-3 as well as available engineering studies to describe existing conditions. The consequences of the Project will be analyzed for the construction and operational phases of the Project. Cumulative impacts, the effects of the Project in combination with other likely Projects, will be assessed.
After review by the City, AWE will incorporate comments and prepare a public draft IS/MND, notice of completion, and notice of intent to adopt an MND for use by the City. As required by CEQA, the IS/MND will be circulated among public agencies and the general public, as well as specific individuals, organizations, and agencies expressing an interest in receiving the document, for 30 days. If changes to the IS/MND are needed, AWE will complete an errata to accompany the responses to comments. AWE will provide the City with the responses to comments and errata, as well as a final Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan. These deliverables can be used in the staff report for consideration by the City. This scope of work assumes no public meeting would be required during the CEQA comment period and the City will be responsible for mailing or publishing notices; if desired, AWE could provide those services under added scope and cost.
Optional Environmental Subtasks
The budget for the following optional tasks are not included in our budget estimate.
Optional Subtask 5. Noise Impact Assessment
Due to nearby sensitive receptors (immediate neighbors), a noise impact assessment would be used to address CEQA Appendix G checklist questions. AWE teaming partner, AMBIENT Air Quality & Noise Consulting (AMBIENT), will complete the noise impact assessment. To assess potential construction noise impacts, sensitive receptors and their relative exposure to the proposed Project area (considering topographic barriers and distance) will be identified. Noise levels of specific construction equipment will be summarized in 71 David Kelley
January 12, 2024
N-M-CITYOFCLOVERDALE-LP-2023_C T Southcrest
included in the report. This discussion will also address applicable requirements of the City of Cloverdale for the control of construction-generated noise.
Optional Subtask 6. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions AMBIENT will conduct the air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment that addresses CEQA Appendix G checklist questions. Relevant background information, including ambient air quality conditions and applicable regulatory framework, will be described. Nearby existing sensitive receptors and major emission sources will be identified and discussed. The assessment will include a quantitative assessment of Project-generated emissions of the criteria air pollutants of primary concern (e.g., ROG, NOX, CO, PM10, and PM2.5), as well as quantification of greenhouse gas emissions. Operational and construction-generated emissions will be quantified using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) computer program. Construction emissions will be quantified based on Project-specific construction information, to be provided. Estimated construction and operational emissions will be compared to Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control District (NSCAPCD)-recommended significance thresholds for determination of impact significance.
NSCAPCD-recommended mitigation measures will be identified and included in the report to reduce impacts found to be significant.
Optional Subtask 7. Special-status Plant Survey
A special status plant survey is not required for CEQA compliance. However, it is recommended that if potential habitat for special-status plants is identified during the initial biological surveys (Task 1), follow-up surveys be performed to document the presence or absence of special-status plant species. AWE will conduct special-status plant surveys during the blooming periods of special-status plants with the potential to occur in the vicinity. This task includes two one-day site visits during early and mid-year blooming periods. AWE will prepare a survey report of findings.
Task 3 Assumptions
• The City will be the lead agency complying with CEQA. • No public meetings will be required during the CEQA comment period. • The City will be responsible for mailing or publishing notices. • Potential impacts to traffic/transportation and hazardous materials can be discussed qualitatively; no quantitative analysis will be needed.
• The City will pay all CEQA noticing and filing fees.
• The City will provide one set of consolidated comments on each draft report including the Biological Resources Technical Memo, Cultural Resources Study, Visual Impact Analysis, Administrative Draft IS/MND, Screen Check Draft IS/MND, and responses to comment memo. • Access to the site would be granted at the time of surveys; no return visits due to access limitations will be required.
• No protocol-level wildlife surveys will be conducted; these surveys often require multiple visits over longer time periods and within seasonal limits.
• No California Endangered Species Act or federal Endangered Species Act incidental take permit authorization will be required for the Project. If required, AWE can provide those services as a subsequent phase.
• There are no permit requirements at this stage of the Project. • Cultural Resources Records search fees would not exceed $1,000. If records search is more than $1,000, client would be invoiced the difference.

The Basis of Design TM will guide the design, and upon completion of the geotechnical investigation and completion of the preliminary geologic and seismic findings, West Yost will conduct an evaluation of the recommended soil and seismic design criteria to determine the governing design parameters.
West Yost will work with the City to determine a preferred site layout based on two tanks and the size of tanks needed. The configuration may be decided based on recommendations from the current Master Plan evaluation referenced above.
The civil design and earthwork, as well as any access roadway modifications, will be developed based on those discussions and any public meeting determinations. The tank sizes and civil design will drive the retaining wall system; therefore, careful planning is important to control costs.
We will also evaluate site constraints, tank overflow,site drainage (including dichlorination options), and tank appurtenances (ladder type, vent, safety features, mixing, seismic shutoff valve, flexible connection, etc.).
We will prepare a draft and final technical memorandum that summarizes our recommendation. We will submit a draft TM for City review and comments. The final TM will incorporate the City’s review comments.
Subtask 4.2. 30% Design Submittal
The 30% design will be included with the Basis of Design TM and will include a preliminary layout of the tank site and a preliminary construction cost estimate. Technical specifications will not be included.
Subtask 4.3. 60% Design Submittal
The 60% design level submittal will include drawings, technical specifications (including the City’s standard front-end specification, and a construction cost estimate.

SUBJECT: Southcrest Reservoir Outage Hydraulic Evaluation The purpose of this Technical Memorandum (TM) is to summarize the findings and conclusions of West Yost’s hydraulic evaluation of the City of Cloverdale’s (City) Zone 1 and impacts associated with the replacement of the Southcrest Reservoir. In particular, West Yost evaluated Zone 1 storage needs based on the latest water demand projections, assessed impacts to Zone 1 demands during the construction outage, and provided a peer review of the 2021 Feasibility Study to identify any other evaluation needs prior to commencing construction of the preferred alternative. The following sections summarize the evaluations:
• Executive Summary
• Storage Evaluation
• Hydraulic Evaluation
• 2021 Feasibility Study Peer Review
• Recommendations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Within the City’s water distribution system, Zone 1 is the primary pressure zone serving approximately 2,000 connections and accounting for 67 percent of the City’s water demand. The zone has three gravity storage reservoirs with a total of 2.5 million gallons of storage, one of which is the 200,000-gallon Southcrest Reservoir. The City is planning to replace the Southcrest Reservoir, also known as Cherry Creek Reservoir, which currently does not meet seismic or structural standards and contains lead in the exterior coating. The City requested an evaluation of Zone 1 with the Southcrest Reservoir offline, to determine potential zone impacts and mitigation required if the tank is taken offline.
Under near-term demand conditions there will be a slight storage deficit in Zone 1, which will increase if the Southcrest Reservoir is taken offline.Under buildout demand conditions, there will be a storage deficit in Zone 1 of 0.09 MG and 0.29 MG with and without the 200,000-gallon Southcrest Reservoir, respectively. 82 TM – City of Cloverdale
February 12, 2024
X-X-XXX-XXX-XXX
Hydraulic evaluation for buildout conditions should be evaluated as part of the City’s next Water System Master Plan (WSMP) update.
Based on the evaluation of the distribution system with the hydraulic model, there will be minimal impacts to the City’s water distribution system should the Southcrest Reservoir be taken offline for the construction of a new tank. However, it should be noted that since Southcrest Reservoir aids in the water demand balance of Zone 1 and in meeting the storage requirements, the City’s water distribution system will need to be evaluated if a long-term outage of the Southcrest Reservoir is anticipated, long enough that the system demands change significantly.
In April 2021, MOE Engineering Inc., completed a feasibility study of the Southcrest Reservoir replacement.
The feasibility study evaluated four alternatives, with total storage at the site ranging from 400,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons. This report includes a peer review of the feasibility study. All alternatives in the feasibility study include replacing the existing tank. Three alternatives would involve constructing two tanks on site.
The recommended alternative in the MOE Engineering feasibility study would demolish and replace the existing tank with one 500,000-gallon tank. However, the City favors a two-tank alternative, which would allow the possibility of keeping the existing tank in service while a new tank is constructed and allow one of the two tanks to be taken out of service in the future to facilitate maintenance. West Yost recommends revisiting the siting analysis to explore locating a new second tank within a previously unconsidered area.
The potential benefit may be a considerably lower project cost. Field investigations would need to be completed and data gaps filled in prior to developing an additional alternative and associated estimated cost. However, West Yost agrees that a two-tank design would be best for the City and recommends that a two-tank design be pursued.
STORAGE EVALUATION
This section describes the storage evaluation, which included updating demands and peaking factors, revising the storage analysis presented in the 2010 Water System Master Plan (2010 WSMP), and performing a hydraulic evaluation. The 2010 WSMP based the storage analysis on 2004 total production of 529 million gallons per year (MG/yr), which was the highest production year for the City, and projected a buildout total production of 834 MG/yr. Recently, the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (2020 UWMP) showed that the City’s water use has dropped drastically since the early 2000’s with a highest total production of 369 MG in 2020 and a projected buildout total production of 583 MG/yr by 2040. The 2020 UWMP indicates that future storage needs are significantly less than future storage identified in the 2010 WSMP and that additional storage may not be required in Zone 1. The updated storage evaluation was performed to determine the total required storage needs for the City’s water distribution system but does not determine exact storage requirements for the Southcrest reservoir, which should be evaluated in the WSMP update that the City is considering.
Existing Demand Update
The 2010 WSMP existing demands were based on average water production data from calendar year 2004, as it was determined to be the year with the peak production during the study period. To estimate maximum day and peak hour usage, City daily water production records were used. For this analysis, the existing demands were updated to be reflective of more recent demand trends.
West Yost evaluated water usage for 2018 through 2022 to establish existing demands. The City’s monthly report summary sheets were used to determine average day use and maximum day use for the system. 83 TM – City of Cloverdale
February 12, 2024
X-X-XXX-XXX-XXX
Hourly production data was not available so peak hour demands were not calculated. Table 1 summarizes the average day and maximum day water use for 2018 through 2022.
Average day water use was generally consistent between 2018 and 2019. Water use peaked in 2020, most likely due sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Water use started to decline in 2021 and continued to decline in 2022. Maximum day water use was generally consistent from 2018 through 2020.
Maximum use peaked in 2022 which was determined to be an anomaly. Water demands from calendar year 2018 were used for existing demand conditions as it was determined to be the most representative of normal non-drought year conditions.

Peaking Factor Updates
Water system facility evaluations and capacity requirements are based on peak demands which are projected by applying a peaking factor, a multiplier, to average day demand. For a given year, the maximum day demand peaking factor is calculated by dividing the largest single day demand by the average day demand.
Table 2 summarizes the maximum day peaking factors based on water use from 2018 through 2022 as described in the section above. The peaking factor was highest in 2022 (2.29) and determined to be an anomaly. The recommended maximum day demand peaking factor is 1.60 based on the average peaking factors between 2018 and 2021.

Summary of Demands
Table 3 summarizes the City’s updated existing water demands by pressure zone reflecting recent water use summarized in Table 1. The 2010 WSMP states Zone 1 accounts for 67 percent of the water demand for the entire system while Zones 2 and 3 account for 13 percent and 20 percent of the water demand, respectively.
Percentages are based on billing record data collected between July 1, 2001 and March 31, 2008.

Table 4 summarizes the City’s near-term (2025) water demand by pressure zone. Near-Term demands were estimated using anticipated growth through 2025. A spreadsheet of proposed developments was provided to West Yost by the City’s planning department which included developments through buildout (2040). Residential and non-residential water demands were calculated for all near-term developments.
Demands were first calculated using unit water use factors from the 2010 WSMP, and then adjusted downward based on the latest buildout demand projections from the 2020 UWMP. Residential demand was calculated by multiplying the projected number of housing units per developed by 2.51 persons per household, the average household size in Cloverdale based on the City’s housing element, and then by 110.9 gallons per capita per day, the 2010 WSMP future water demand factor. Non-residential demand was calculated using the water usage per acre per day factors presented in the 2010 WSMP. Total nearterm demands were then adjusted down by a scaling factor of 1.43 , a factor used to correlate the buildout demand projected in the 2010 WSMP and the buildout demand projected in the 2020 UWMP. An additional 10 percent was included to account for additional rebound of water use anticipated to occur in the future years.

Table 5 summarizes the City’s buildout (2040) water demand by pressure zone. Buildout demands were estimated using the projected buildout demands developed for the 2020 UWMP. Zone specific demands were calculated using the same system-wide water demand percentages outlined in the 2010 WSMP; 67 percent for Zone 1, 13 percent for Zones 2 and 20 percent for Zone 3.

Storage Sizing Analysis
The principal advantages that storage provides for water systems include (1) domestic storage in case of a supply outage; (2) fire storage to fight fires; and (3) equalization storage to balance differences in demands and supplies. The City’s water storage capacity requirements are as follows:
• Domestic storage component equal to 100 percent of average day demand. • Fire storage component equal to the most severe fire flow recommended multiplied by the recommended duration for each pressure zone separately. • Equalization component equal to 25 percent of maximum day demand.
Table 6 compares the City’s available water storage capacity with the required storage capacity for each pressure zone under existing (2018) conditions. Zone 1 was evaluated twice to show storage requirements with and without Southcrest Reservoir. Without Southcrest Reservoir Zone 1 experiences a slight storage capacity deficit of 0.01 MG (10,000 gallons).
Table 7 compares the City’s available water storage capacity with the required storage capacity for each pressure zone under near-term (2025) conditions. Zone 1 experiences a 0.15 MG storage capacity deficit without the 200,000-gallon Southcrest Reservoir.

Table 8 compares the City’s available water storage capacity with the required storage capacity for each pressure zone under buildout (2040) conditions with different supply scenarios for Zone 1. The City’s buildout plan shows an additional 1 MG storage reservoir located in southern part of Zone 1 to the east of Highway 101. While the City has no current plan to construct the 1 MG storage reservoir, the reservoir was included as one of the supply options. Additionally, capacity at the Main Reservoir was shown to increase by 0.3 MG by buildout. The following scenarios were explored with and without the Southcrest Reservoir:
• With 1 MG additional storage in Zone 1
• Without 1 MG additional storage in Zone 1
Based on the City’s buildout water map, a new 1 MG storage reservoir is proposed in Zone 1. With the increase in Zone 1 storage, there is no storage deficit. Without the 1MG of additional storage, Zone 1 experiences a storage capacity deficit of 0.09 MG and 0.29 MG with and without the 200,000-gallon Southcrest Reservoir, respectively. Therefore, in the event the additional 1 MG Zone 1 storage is not constructed, additional storage is required by either a new separate reservoir or through increasing storage capacity at existing Zone 1 reservoirs.

HYDRAULIC EVALUATION
To hydraulically evaluate the impact of the City’s existing water system if the Southcrest Reservoir is offline for construction, West Yost updated the City’s hydraulic model to include the following:
• Updated the storage capacity at Ritter Reservoir in Zone 2 to include the newly constructed
0.75 MG second tank.
• Corrected distribution system piping along Asti Road to include a new 16-inch diameter pipeline.
• Updated distribution system piping south of Foothill Boulevard to include the new pipelines for the Baumgardner Ranch and Bi Du Khaale housing developments. • Added the City’s four pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations to assist with emergency demand conditions. The operational pressure settings at these locations were calculated based off the hydraulic grade line then reduced by 5 pounds per square inch (psi) to ensure the PRV only operates during emergency conditions.
Planning and Modeling Criteria
The planning and modeling criteria used to evaluate the City’s water distribution system are based on the system performance and operational criteria developed in the 2010 WSMP. The criteria used to evaluate the water system consists of the following:
• Minimum allowable service pressure is 40 psi under normal operating conditions. • Residual pressure at the flowing hydrant (during a maximum day demand plus fire flow condition) and at customer service locations throughout the system must be equal to or greater than 20 psi.
Hydraulic Evaluation
To evaluate the City’s existing water system when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline the following evaluations were performed under near-term maximum day demand conditions to assess distribution system performance and to confirm that the City’s distribution system would be able to deliver the required potable water, while meeting the City’s adopted water system performance criteria. • Near-Term Peak Hour Demand with Booster Pump Stations Online – This scenario evaluates system pressures with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under a peak hour demand condition when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are online. • Near-Term Peak Hour Demand with Booster Pump Stations Offline – This scenario evaluates system pressures with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under a peak hour demand condition when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are offline. • Near-Term Minimum Hour Demand with Booster Pump Stations Online – This scenario evaluates system pressures with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under a minimum hour demand condition when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are online. • Near-Term Minimum Hour Demand with Booster Pump Stations Offline – This scenario evaluates system pressures with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under a minimum hour demand condition when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are offline. 91 TM – City of Cloverdale

• Near-Term Maximum Day Demand plus Fire Flow with Booster Pump Stations Online – This scenario evaluates available fire flow throughout the system with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under maximum day demand plus fire flow demand conditions when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are online. • Near-Term Maximum Day Demand plus Fire Flow with Booster Pump Station Offline - This scenario evaluates available fire flow throughout the system with and without the Southcrest Reservoir under maximum day demand plus fire flow demand conditions when the booster pump stations serving Zones 2 and 3 are offline.
With respect to operating conditions, the following assumptions were made:
• The City’s treatment plant is assumed to be online during peak hour scenarios supplying the system with approximately 1,130 gpm (calculated assuming the treatment plant produces
1.5 million gallons over 22 hours).
• Under minimum hour scenarios, Zone 1 tanks are filling while under peak hour scenarios Zone 1 tanks are supplying water.
• All pressure reducing stations (PRVs) are not operating in all scenarios except the emergency fire flow scenario, where the PRVs are available to operate if the pressure in Zone 1 drops too low.
Results for all scenario variations are described in detail below.
Near-Term Peak Hour Demand Scenarios
The AWWA standard flow model curve was used to determine a standard peak hour multiplier to apply to the City’s near-term maximum day demands. A demand multiplier of 1.75 times the maximum day demand was used to estimate the peak hour demand.
Figure 1 summarizes the pressure observed throughout the system with and without Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations to Zones 2 and 3 are online. The Zone 1 tanks and the water treatment plant pumps are supplying the system. Since the Southcrest Reservoir is not a critical supplier the Zone 1, pressures are not significantly impacted when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline. There is only one location that visually changes near Zone 3 pump station, where the pressure decreases to below 40 psi when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline. Since the booster pump stations pump water from Zone 1 into the upper pressure zones (Zone 2 and Zone 3), pressures in Zone 1 increase when the pump stations are offline. Generally, pressures in Zone 1, North of First Street and west of South Cloverdale Boulevard, are maintained between 40 and 60 psi while pressures in the rest of Zone 1 are between 60 and 80 psi.
Figure 2 summarizes the pressure observed throughout the system with and without Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations to Zones 2 and 3 are offline. Similar to when the booster pump stations were online, since Zone 1 tanks and the water treatment plant pumps are supplying the system, there are no visible changes in pressure when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline. Generally, pressures in Zone 1, north of Third Street and west of South Franklin Street, are maintained between 40 and 60 psi while pressures in the rest of Zone 1 are between 60 and 80 psi.
Under peak hour demand conditions, there is no major impact to pressure when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline.

Near-Term Minimum Hour Demand Scenarios
The AWWA standard flow model curve was used to determine a standard minimum hour multiplier to apply to the City’s near-term maximum day demands. A demand multiplier of 0.21 times the maximum day demand was used to calculate the minimum hour demand.
For these scenarios the Zone 1 tanks are assumed to filling and the treatment plant is offline.
Figure 3 summarizes the pressure observed throughout the system with and without Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations are online. Results with and without the Southcrest Reservoir are consistent with only a few pressures increasing to above 60 psi between South Franklin Street and South Cloverdale Boulevard when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline. Pressures in Zone 1 are also generally consistent with the peak hour scenario with booster pump stations online.
Figure 4 summarizes the pressure observed throughout the system with and without Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations are offline. Results with and without the Southcrest Reservoir are generally consistent with only a few pressures increasing to above 60 psi along the South Cloverdale Boulevard corridor when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline. Pressures in Zone 1 are also similar to the peak hour scenario with booster pump stations offline.
Under minimum hour demand conditions, there is no major impact to pressures when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline.

Near-Term Maximum Day Demand plus Fire Flow Scenarios
To evaluate the City’s water system for fire flow conditions, InfoWater Pro’s “Available Fire Flow Analysis” tool was used to determine the available flow at a minimum residual pressure of 20 psi under near-term maximum day demand plus fire flow demand conditions. Fire flow results presented are representative of the system capacity and do not represent the available flow from a specific hydrant as the losses through appurtenances are not included in the analyses.
The left side of Figure 5 shows available fire flow with Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations are online while meeting the minimum residual pressure criterion of 20 psi. Available fire flow ranges from less than 500 gpm in Zone 2 to greater than 4,500 gpm along transmission mains throughout Zone 1. The right side of Figure 5 shows the change in available fire flow when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline, and the booster pump stations are online. Generally, there is minimal change, plus or minus 100 gpm, in available fire flow throughout Zone 1 with a handful of locations experiencing a decrease in fire flow, between 100 and 1,000 gpm. Available fire flow in Zone 3 increases slightly due to the increase in head at the pump station when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline.
The left side of Figure 6 shows available fire flow with Southcrest Reservoir when the booster pump stations are offline while meeting the minimum residual pressure criterion of 20 psi. Available fire flow ranges from less than 500 gpm in Zone 2 to greater than 4,500 gpm along transmission mains throughout Zone 1. Available fire flow slightly increases in Zone 1 when the booster pump stations are offline since water is not being pumped out of Zone 1. The right side of Figure 6 shows the change in available fire flow when the Southcrest Reservoir is offline, and the booster pump stations are offline. Generally, there is minimal change, plus or minus 100 gpm, in available fire flow throughout the system with a handful of locations in Zone 1 experiencing a decrease in fire flow, between 100 and 1,000 gpm. 98 99

Hydraulic Evaluation Findings and Conclusions
As previously discussed in the storage analysis, there is there will slight storage deficit in Zone 1 under near-term demand conditions if Southcrest Reservoir should be taken offline. Under buildout demand conditions, there is a storage deficit in Zone 1 of 0.09 MG and 0.29 MG with and without the 200,000- gallon Southcrest Reservoir, respectively. Hydraulic evaluation for buildout conditions should be evaluated as part of the City’s next WSMP update.
Based on the hydraulic evaluation, there will be minimal impacts to the City’s water distribution system should the Southcrest Reservoir be taken offline for the construction of a new tank. However, it should be noted that since Southcrest Reservoir aids in the water demand balance of Zone 1 and in meeting the storage requirements, the City’s water distribution system will need to be evaluated if a long-term outage of the Southcrest Reservoir is anticipated, long enough that system demands change significantly.
The hydraulic evaluation performed for the analysis is based on the assumptions described above. If any of these items are changed or modified in any way, other than as described in this TM, additional hydraulic evaluation may be required.
2021 FEASIBILITY STUDY PEER REVIEW
In April 2021, MOE Engineering Inc., completed a feasibility study of the Southcrest Reservoir. The feasibility study evaluated four alternatives, with total storage at the site ranging from 400,000 gallons to 500,000 gallons. All alternatives include replacing the existing tank. Three alternatives would involve constructing two tanks on site. The recommended alternative in the feasibility would demolish and replace the existing tank with a 500,000-gallon tank. The City favors a two-tank alternative, which would allow the possibility of keeping the existing tank in service while a new tank is constructed and allow one of the two tanks to be taken out of service in the future to facilitate maintenance.
West Yost conducted a peer review of the April 2021 Feasibility Study (study) to identify additional evaluation needs prior to commencing design or construction of the preferred alternative(s). Thoughts, considerations, and data gaps requiring attention prior to design or construction are summarized below.
Site Access and Tank Sizing and Configuration
There was no mention in the study regarding site access. With two existing access points, the City may prefer to keep and maintain the north driveway from Cherry Creek Road.
Maintenance vehicles regularly accessing the site from the south only off of Cherry Creek Court may be less feasible due to the existence of an HOA and/or agreements they have with the City for the existence of the access road. Access road(s) for the site would have bearing on future tank siting.
A lack of tank siting discussion poses the question whether any new tank can be placed to the east of the existing tank. If configured this way, the existing (north) roadbed could potentially be taken out of service, the site would require less stabilization as the hillside cut would have much lower embankment stabilization requirements, and thus a retaining wall may not be necessary.
Under the City’s preferred 2-tank configuration, adding the largest size additional tank that the site can accommodate would likely be the best option. Following the study’s logic and interpretation, a second 250,000 gallon or 300,000-gallon tank is indicated instead of their recommended single 500,000-gallon tank.

The study indicates the shell height tank capacity is 206,700 gallons; however, the approximate maximum storage volume is 197,000 gallons or less due to the estimated overflow invert elevation. While there is discussion of capacities in the study, only approximations were made.
Regardless of the number of tanks, capacities, and locations, some of the buried site piping will need to be reconfigured. Page 6 of the study discussed replacement but ignores how the tank is connected to the distribution network. As-builts of the system piping in the vicinity of the tank are required before undertaking any change(s) or initiating design for additional tanks.
The study discusses standard separate influent and effluent pipes and mechanical mixers.
However, a single bidirectional pipe connection for each tank can be designed using a passive mixing system with appropriate check valves. Regardless of pipeline-to-tank connection, these systems can be obtained for retrofits or installed in a new tank.
Alternative 3 indicates a 50-foot diameter tank with the same height as the existing will provide a nominal 500,000-gallon capacity; however, it should be noted that a 52-foot diameter tank is required to achieve a nominal 500,000-gallon capacity.
The study text appears to indicate that a revised tank projection into the skyline is not acceptable. This statement is unsupported in the study and should be clarified or omitted.
While the study’s conclusion section reiterated that several alternatives were evaluated, the study did not include a discussion surrounding the criteria and reasoning for selecting or excluding any particular alternative. All of the alternatives assume tank construction into the hillside on the southwest side of the existing tank or at the original tank location. The east side of the site should be included in evaluating siting options and alternatives.
Geotechnical and Seismic Concerns
The Geotech drill location B-4 text description indicates that 3 to 4 feet of fill was encountered on top of the bedrock below. A comprehensive boring program will be needed to identify the extent and composition of existing fill materials prior to design to ensure foundation stability.
A statement was made to identify potential issues with the existing tank concerning seismic sloshing and insufficient freeboard. However, it appears that a technical analysis of these phenomena was outside the scope of the study, as no justification of the statement was included. These can only be addressed during design of the new tank(s).
For a soil nail wall to be installed, the clearance between the retained face and existing tank must allow for the horizontal drilling rig. This infers that any existing tank must be removed first before such an earth-retaining structure can be installed which was not mentioned in the study.
Additionally in the geotechnical report discussion, a summary of drill hole depths could have been provided along with a discussion of the ramifications based on where the drill holes are located in relation to any proposed tank. Therefore, comments relating cut and fill slope delineations under the tank foundation are not introduced. This is an important consideration in the selection of acceptable foundation configurations.
Rock type and depth to refusal is left to the reader to investigate and interpret the findings.
No clear statements or interpretations were offered to support the selection of any particular foundation alternative or siting arrangement. 102

Costs and Schedule
If a second tank is added, there is no reason given in the study to replace the existing tank until it is either declared unserviceable or future funding is scheduled for separate replacement. The study inferred that “doing things twice” would increase costs, which it would to a small effect, but the level of detail was not provided in the cost table, and it was not readily apparent from the text. With two tanks at the site, either tank can be in operation if the other tank is undergoing service or construction.
The estimated construction duration for the single 500,000-gallon tank is 9 months.
However, the study does not provide any explanation to how the construction duration was calculated. To properly evaluate the study, there should have been explanation and a basic schedule or work plan sequence by subcontractor task consisting at least of mobilization, demolition of existing 200,000-gallon tank, excavation for enlarged site, soil nail wall, foundation, piping construction, off-site tie-in preparation, construction of the tank, painting and furnishing tank, flushing, disinfecting, regulatory acceptance, commissioning, handover and demobilization.
For alternative 1 there are several statements in the study that this option costs more than another given alternative. However, no documentation is provided.
Tank Construction
No clear statement was made that the existing tank is not attached to the ring foundation.
However, this information does provide additional support for the need to replace the old tank.
The study asserts that the tank access ring is there to provide access for painting the tank.
However, that space is there to prevent impingement of earth movement and loads on the tank sidewall, and to provide ease of security and facility inspection.
The study stated, “control valves should be installed at all tanks”. However, if the remainder of the City’s Zone 1 tanks operate correctly at a hydraulic grade line of 468 feet, then the other tanks would not need control valves. No explanation was included on the type of control valve that is under consideration. Additionally, the study did not mention SCADA or remote input/output to obtain tank level information or other means to operate the valves.
While tank level monitoring and an altitude valve might be beneficial to the tank’s mechanical operation, there was no discussion included in the study of software costs or operational risks.
The study’s conclusion section is the first time that discussion of power and communications cables are introduced. The body of the text should include a discussion and explain why they are recommended to be replaced and installed underground. In addition, the study did infer that no communications currently exist between other city facilities and the tank site. It is unclear what the overall impact to this observation or recommendation might be.
Rooftop solar was briefly mentioned in the study’s conclusion and was not previously discussed in the body of the report.
The tank site is not manned or monitored for security; thus, the inclusion of a wrapped staircase is legally considered to be an attractive nuisance and should not have been recommended. CalOSHA-compliant ladders can be provided that have lockable tamperresistant entry points if a ladder is deemed necessary. The need for a ladder can be omitted from the project design entirely by only leaving the vent on the top of the tank or selection 103

of side-access manways and bottom-mounted vandal-proofed level monitoring instrumentation can be specified for the project.
Other Items
While West Yost does agree community involvement is necessary, our recommendation would be for the City to hire a public relations firm prior to commencing design. The public relations consultant scope is narrow and would limit the City’s costs since there are a few customers who would be directly impacted. The process would allow for:
a. Communicating with the customers that the tank upgrades or replacement is necessary. b. Providing an opportunity to develop tank skyline alternatives for presentation and discussion.
c. Finding solutions to mitigate neighborhood traffic during construction. d. Allowing a platform for the City or consultant to research alternatives and then respond to concerns instead of trying to provide an answer “on the spot”.
The survey area appears to be insufficient for potential installation of a new tank to the east of the existing unit. It is recommended the survey area and the geotechnical investigation be expanded to include all potential tank area locations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As the storage and hydraulic evaluations show that there is little effect on the operation of the City’s water system with the Southcrest reservoir out of service, the City can proceed with replacement of the Southcrest Reservoir. West Yost recommends that the City pursue a two-tank design for replacement of the Southcrest Reservoir. The benefits of a two-tank design would allow the possibility of keeping the existing tank in service while a new tank is constructed. A two-tank design would facilitate maintenance of the tanks in the future as it would allow the City to take one tank out of service at a time for maintenance and provide redundancy in the event there is a problem with one of the tanks. 104
