1 Introduction
The City of Manteca ( City) is soliciting ELECTRONIC REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS ( RFPs) from professional consulting firms to prepare the City' s Wastewater Master Plan, Sewer Rate Study, and related studies.

Refer to Table 1 for RFP deadlines.

The City is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to develop the City' s Wastewater Master Plan, Sewer Rate Study and additional work( Project) as indicated in the Scope of Services Section. A major focus of this Wastewater Master Plan and Sewer Rate Study is to determine the sustainability of the City' s capability and capacity to treat incoming wastewater flows. The goal is to provide approaches and strategies that provides long- term reliability ( 50 years and beyond) and shields the City, to the extent possible, from regulations, drought conditions, and increased labor, material, and construction costs.

Firms submitting proposals for this project must have a project manager licensed as a Professional Engineer in the State of California and have experience in the field of sewer rates, sewer system, treatment, operation, and maintenance of municipal sewer systems. The work is broken down into three main tasks: ( 1) Interim Sewer Rate Study( 2) Final Sewer Rate Study and ( 3) Wastewater Master Plan.

Primary objectives of the Final Sewer Rate Study include the following:

Overall system design that balances sustainability and resiliency; Generates sufficient revenue to meet current and future operating costs, debt obligations, and capital program needs factoring in infrastructure condition and the feasibility and timing of receiving grants;
Meets cost of service standards for fair, equitable, and reasonable rates and fees; and Strategizes rate increases during the planning period.

The main objectives of the Wastewater Master Plan include:

Operation of a sewer system that is sustainable, reliable, and efficient; Improve resiliency and minimize the effects of outside forces such as drought, changing regulatory requirements, and increasing maintenance and operations costs; Strategize planning and budgeting efforts to implement sewer system enhancements; Maintain a high level of system reliability and efficiency for current and future demands during normal, drought, and emergency situations;
Development of the City' s sewer system hydraulic model from the pipe network design selected that incorporates phasing of capital projects- the City does not have a working model and a new model would need to be created as part of the scope of work included in this RFP; and Development of a Capital Improvement Program ( CIP) and implementation schedule based on sewer capacity and condition of assets.

Proposals shall be concise, well organized, and demonstrate the consultants qualifications and experience relating to the proposed prcjcc minm,u
proposals shall include the information in the
following sections.

The City provides sewer service to residents within the City limits and provides treatment at the City' s Wastewater Quality Control Facility( WQCF). The City is located approximately 15 miles north of Modesto and 10 miles south of Stockton. The Un'`on_F' acific_Railroad runs diagonally from southeast to northwest through the City. State Highway 120 crosses the southern portion of the City and provides a connection between Interstate 5, located about fou miles tohe wes- of-the City, and Highway 99 along the eastern boundary of the City. t7
13 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
The City' s current sewer service area coincides with the current City boundary. In 2020 the estimated population of the City was 84, 400, according to population data published by the California Department of Finance ( DOF).

The WQCF is located southwest of downtown Manteca on 22- acres owned by the City. The WQCF treats municipal wastewater from the City of Manteca and the City of Lathrop, and seasonally accepts industrial food processing waste effluent from Eckert Cold Storage. Per contractual agreement, 8. 42 mgd of plant capacity is allocated to the City of Manteca and 1. 45 mgd is allocated to the City of Lathrop.

The City' s current National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) Permit, which regulates the wastewater effluent quantity and quality upon discharge, was issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and is Order 115- 2021- 0003 NPDES No. CA0081558.

The WQCF treats an average dry weather flow( ADWF) of about 7. 6 mgd and hads an original average dry weather design capacity of 9. 87 mgd. However, historic water use reductions in the community combined with population growth have drastically increased the concentration of biological oxygen demand ( BOD) and total Kjeldahl nitrogen ( TKN) in the influent wastewater. This essentially makes the incoming wastewater higher strength and makes the overall biological and nitrogen loading on the plant higher.

The City' s sewer service area is contiguous with City limits, and is divided into north, south and central sewer sheds. The municipal wastewater collection system includes 242 miles of sewer mains and 19 pump stations. The collection system includes gravity flow pipes ranging from 6- inch to 60- inch diameter, and force mains from 6- inch to 24- inch diameter.

The existing collection system generally serves the developed portions of the City, with major trunk sewers located in the core of the City ( the central sewer shed), approximately bounded by State Route 120 to the south, Austin Road to the east, Lathrop Road to the north, and Airport Way to the west.

Attn: Elba Mijango, Associate Engineer
City of Manteca
1001 West Center Street
Manteca, CA 95337
Reference: Proposal for City of Manteca Wastewater Master Plan and Rate Study Dear Elba Mijango and Selection Committee Members,
The City of Manteca( City) has made a significant investment in its Water Quality Control Facility( WQCF) and wastewater collection system, including many miles of aging gravity sewer pipelines. Good practice calls for the City to have an updated and comprehensive Wastewater Master Plan and Capital Improvement Program. Having completed a Sanitary Sewer Condition Assessment for the City in 2017 and Secondary Treatment Capacity Assessment for the WQCF in 2021, Stantec Consulting Services Inc.( Stantec) understands many of the issues and challenges that are confronting the City. Our objective is to provide the City with a practical plan to assess and maintain this critical infrastructure and to establish updated sewer rates to enable the plan' s implementation.

We have assembled the right team for this important project. The proposed team routinely prepares wastewater master plans, condition assessments and( CIPs), and frequently pairs this analysis with comprehensive financial plans, sewer rate studies, and Proposition 218 support. Our operators and mechanics run wastewater treatment plants and sewer collection systems and help keep our engineering input practical, usable, and implementable. Of course, we can, and will, run sophisticated models and analyses of the sanitary sewer collection system, but we recognize that the City needs a Wastewater Master Plan that can be distilled down to usable project information— identifying project needs, risks, costs, and priorities.

Master Plan Team. We have recently completed wastewater master plans, condition assessments, and CIP plans for the Cities of Benicia, Grass Valley, Lincoln, Manteca, San Mateo, Placer County, and others. Two in-progress master plans include the Cities of Concord and Dixon. Steve Beck, PE, our proposed project manager for Manteca, was involved in most of them; and the client contacts identified in this proposal will provide excellent references attesting to our practical input. We encourage you to contact these satisfied clients. Steve has excelled at managing our wastewater planning teams with an aim at providing practical and clear direction for how to move forward with infrastructure planning and maintenance. He understands that analysis alone is not the goal, but rather good analysis provides the means to get to the best recommended CIP. With this perspective, Steve is well positioned to work with the City and the proposed team to complete this Wastewater Master Plan for the City.

To support this work effort, we have teamed with HERWIT Engineering. Teaming with HERWIT Engineering provides the unique advantage of allowing us to capture their institutional knowledge of the existing project work already completed at the WQCF.

Also on our team is V& A for flow monitoring and F3 and Associates for surveying. Together, with all of our teaming partners we' ll address the previously identified gaps in the existing master plan and capital improvement program.

Rate Study Team. Our team of financial consultants, Matthew Freiberg, Sally Van Etten, and Benjamin Stewart, are joined by Tara Bravo of CV Strategies. This team specializes in utility rate making, stakeholder engagement, and Proposition 218 support, and have worked successfully together on multiple rate studies in California. We have recent and relevant experience conducting similar wastewater rate studies for utilities in California including:

West County Wastewater District, CA— wastewater rate study and capital improvement prioritization City of Palm Springs, CA— 10-year capital improvement plan and wastewater rate study City of Needles, CA— electric, water and wastewater rate studies including revenue sufficiency analyses for each utility and detailed wastewater cost-of-service and rate analysis

Stantec I CITY OF MANTECA WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN AND SEWER RATE STUDY PROPOSAL Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
City of Whittier, CA— water and sewer rate studies, and water and sewer connection fee updates.

City of Santa Ana, CA— water, recycled water, and wastewater rate study and connection fee development As part of this analysis, we will evaluate the City' s financial policies, create a customized financial model to evaluate multiple CIP scenarios, integrate our recommendations with the City' s billing process and procedures, and review the City' s rate structure. Our analysis will take into consideration changing funding requirements created by the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic, regulatory compliance requirements, infrastructure investment needs, and suggested staffing levels consistent with the objectives of the City' s updated Wastewater Master Plan.

Our team has the right blend of national expertise combined with local knowledge to help the City establish an interim and final wastewater rate plan, an annual cash flow analysis, and provide Proposition 218 technical assistance. The outcomes of our analyses will be a plan to sustainably meet investment and operational needs, while meeting financial targets, and an updated rate structure that will equitably recover revenue from customers.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Our proposal is signed by Steven Beck, authorized to enter into an Agreement with the City.

We acknowledge that proposals are in effect and legally binding for 120 days We acknowledge the resume requirements in the RFP, and resumes for each staff member are included as part of the proposal.

We acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 dated September 7, 2021, and a signed acknowledgment is included at the back of our proposal.

We acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 2 dated September 15, 2021, and a signed acknowledgment is included at the back of our proposal.

Our single exception to the City' s Agreement for Professional Services is provided in Section 8. We believe that should we be selected for this project, we will be able to come to a mutually agreeable contract.

coverage and limits outlined in the RFP.

Stantec requests the following revision to Article 15,
Indemnification and Hold Harmless, specifically adding the following sentence to the end of the clause:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall have no obligation to defend, indemnify or hold harmless the
aforementioned indemnitees against customer claims,
demands, or actions challenging utility rates implemented by the City as a result of Consultant' s performance of the services hereunder."
The reason for our requested change is that the indemnity is broadly written and could capture routine customer rate challenges that the City is more equipped to handle than Stantec.

Fee Estimate Task Descriptions for
City of Manteca Wastewater Master Plan and Sewer
Rate Study
Introduction
The City of Manteca has selected Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) to develop the City' s Wastewater Master Plan and Sewer Rate Study ( Project). The focus of this Project is to develop a comprehensive plan that will enable the City to maintain the capability and capacity to convey, treat, and dispose of the City' s wastewater. The plan will provide approaches and strategies that enable long- term reliability to the General Plan build- out and provide sufficient conservatism in the design to prepare, to the extent possible, for future regulations, drought conditions, and increased labor, material, and construction costs.

The primary objectives of the Sewer Rate Study include the following:

Develop a financial plan that will generate sufficient revenue to meet current and future operating costs, debt obligations, and capital program needs factoring in infrastructure condition and the feasibility and timing of receiving funding and grants
Establish an interim schedule of rate adjustments that achieve the City' s near- term financial needs Establish a final schedule of rate adjustments that incorporate the findings of the Wastewater Master Plan
Establish wastewater utility rate structure that adheres to the requirements of Proposition 218 and are fair, equitable, and easy for the City to implement
The main objectives of the Wastewater Master Plan include:

Operation of a sewer system that is sustainable, reliable, and efficient Improve resiliency and minimize the effects of outside forces such as drought, changing regulatory requirements, and increasing maintenance and operations costs Strategize planning and budgeting efforts to implement sewer system enhancements Maintain a high level of system reliability and efficiency for current and future demands during normal, drought, and emergency situations
Develop the City' s sewer system hydraulic model from the pipe network design selected that incorporates phasing of capital projects
Develop a Capital Improvement Program ( CIP) and implementation schedule based on sewer capacity and condition of assets

Task Descriptions
The following describes the tasks included in Stantec' s fee estimate spreadsheet.

Task 1 — Project Management and Meetings
Task 1. 1 - Project Kickoff Meeting
Stantec will conduct a project kickoff meeting with City staff to review the scope of services. This meeting will be a collaboration of ideas to solicit input and encourage a partnership between engineering and operations personnel on project related topics.

Task 1. 2 - Project Coordination
Throughout the project, Stantec' s project manager we will regularly communicate our progress, assumptions, opportunities, and challenges with the City. In addition, we will facilitate and conduct a monthly progress meeting with the project team and City staff. In addition, regular, ongoing, and ad- hoc project communication will be via conference calls and emails.

Stantec will develop and maintain a detailed project schedule using MS Project and submit updates monthly.

Stantec will provide quality assurance and quality control for the project, which includes peer review of project deliverables. Documents will be reviewed for correctness, completeness, and coordination with other documents and between disciplines.

Task 1. 3 - Progress Meetings and Workshops
Stantec will conduct virtual monthly progress meetings with City staff. Meeting minutes will be prepared and distributed to the meeting participants.

Task 1. 4 - Public Meetings / City Council Presentations Stantec will prepare presentations for public meetings using PowerPoint file format. Stantec' s project manager and support staff, as needed, will participate in a maximum of 19 public meetings and City Council Presentations.

Task 2. 1 - Rate Study Initiation and Review Background Information To initiate the Study, Stantec will submit a data request to the City that will include documentation that is needed to develop an updated five- year schedule of sewer rates. Shortly after receiving the completed data requests, Stantec will conduct a Rate Study Kick-Off meeting ( or conference call) with staff to:

Confirm goals and objectives of the Study
Discuss key issues, roles, and responsibilities
Assemble and review the previously discussed data
Finalize the project schedule, including milestones and deliverables Follow-up calls will be coordinated with staff to help establish a full understanding of all data received and to identify any supplemental data requests.

Task 2. 2 - Develop Short-Term Finance Plan
We will use our industry- leading financial model, the Financial Analysis and Management System FAMS), to develop an initial five- year financial management plan. This model will be populated with the City' s financial data from the initial data request. As part of the analysis, Stantec will examine historical and budgeted operating expenses and revenues, growth, and water use trends ( as available), alternative capital spending levels, reserve targets, debt service requirements, and other financial policies that drive the revenue requirements of the City.

With baseline data incorporated in the model, we will evaluate the sufficiency of the City' s current rate revenues over the next five years. In the event that revenue requirements identified in the model exceed projected revenues under current rates, Stantec will calculate an updated schedule of interim rate adjustments over a five- year period. The schedule of rate adjustments will be developed through scenario analyses with City staff to meet the operating and capital needs of the wastewater enterprise.

Stantec assumes that all data will be provided by the City in a readily available electronic format. Stantec also assumes that all revenues, expenses, capital plans, customer usage, billing, and other customer related data will be provided in an editable digital format( e. g., Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, etc.). 78 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
Task 2. 3 - Adoption of New Interim Rates
Upon completion of the analysis, Stantec will present the findings of the interim rate study at four public meetings. Specifically, we plan to present to City Council, and the public, at up to three Council Meetings and at one additional public workshop during the course of the Interim Rate Study. Near completion of the Study, Stantec will meet with City Council to present preliminary recommendations regarding the financial plan and proposed rate increases. This preliminary meeting will be intended to inform the Council and to solicit feedback regarding objectives, decisions, and policies that could impact the final recommendations.

Following this meeting, Stantec will incorporate feedback and prepare modifications or alternative scenarios to be reviewed with Staff, as appropriate. Stantec will then participate in a meeting with the City Council to clearly explain the findings and recommendations of the Study, and to allow the Council to vote on proposed plans and rate structures. This will be the City Council meeting wherein a vote will be held to distribute public notifications and commence the 45- day public comment period. Between the second City Council presentation and the Prop 218 hearing, Stantec will hold one public outreach workshop to provide a venue to explain the need and benefit of the proposed rate and capital investment plan. The final public presentation will be the Proposition 218 public hearing, where protest votes are counted, and City Council ultimately votes to approve or reject the recommended rate schedule.

Upon completion of the interim rate study analysis, Stantec will support the implementation of the proposed rates by working with City Staff to ensure that the adopted rates are correctly loaded into the CitY' s utilitybilling9 software.

Task 2. 4 - Development of Interim Rate Study Report
Stantec will prepare a final report defining the assumptions and methodology used in our analysis along with the findings of the study. Stantec will prepare three report drafts for varying levels of review and comment, beginning with a preliminary draft for staff comments and revisions. Once staff feedback is incorporated, Stantec will provide an administrative draft for Council review prior to presenting final results and recommendations. Finally, Stantec will incorporate additional staff feedback before submitting the final report.

Task 3. 1 - Updated Long- Term Financial Plan
In this task Stantec will build off the financial model developed during the interim rate study to incorporate the necessary wastewater system improvements as described in the updated Wastewater Master Plan.

The financial model will be updated to reflect new projections of customer growth and any identified changes in wastewater production or treatment requirements. Stantec will work closely with Staff and the Engineering team to develop a capital plan that meets the City' s infrastructure needs but also considers the long- term impacts to rate payers and the political feasibility of the adoption of the rate plan. The longterm plan will also incorporate the costs of any incremental O& M or additional staffing that were identified as part of the implementation of these capital projects.

Task 3. 2 - Cost of Service Analysis
The cost- of-service analysis allows for the revenue requirements of the sewer system to be equitably allocated to each of the City' s customer classes. To achieve this, the system' s costs will be functionalized to defined processes, which are then allocated to each customer class and/ or land use based upon the respective demand in terms of the average amount of flow or other system demand characteristics. This process is intended to evaluate inter- and intra- class equity in accordance with the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218.

At the conclusion of the cost- of-service analysis, Stantec will compare the resulting allocation of revenue requirements to the revenue generated by the existing rate structure and current rates for each customer class. Stantec will review these findings with City staff to confirm our understanding and analysis. In the event that the current revenue recovery levels do not align with the results of the cost- of-service analysis, Stantec will propose changes to the class- specific allocations of revenue recovery and this information will be used to inform the rate structure analysis in the subsequent task.

Task 3. 3 - Wastewater Rate Design
Based upon the information gathered and the analysis done in the preceding tasks, Stantec will develop up to three rate alternatives. The rate structure evaluation will include an examination of revenue volatility, customer ease- of understanding, affordability, administrative requirements, and potential limitations of the City' s billing system. Stantec will provide an overall impact analysis for each customer class, as well as specific bill impacts at various consumption levels for each rate structure alternative for which rates are calculated. Detailed customer impact analyses will be provided for all customer classes, and high- level result summaries will serve as important informational materials in public presentations.

Throughout this process, Stantec will work closely with City staff to determine the preferred approach to recover rate revenues, while minimizing the impact to your customers. At the end of this task, Stantec will produce a five- year schedule of rates with the preferred rate structure, escalated by the proposed rate adjustments developed in the updated financial plan.

Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
Task 3. 4 - Rate Study
To gain a better understanding of regional wastewater rates, Stantec will complete a rate survey of six to eight other similar cities or agencies located in the Central Valley. This analysis can help inform the customer acceptability of rate increases and is often necessary to address questions from key stakeholders, including elected officials, related to how your rates compare with peer communities.

Additional state- wide comparisons will be incorporated into the survey as appropriate.

Task 3. 5 - Adoption of New Rate / City Council Presentation Stantec will build off the momentum from the interim rate study and implement the same process to present the findings of the final rate study in a series of four public meetings and deliver a similar Proposition 218 notification process as for the interim rates. This will include a presentation to City Council to review the preliminary findings of the final rate study, a second presentation to Council with the final findings, a public workshop, and our participation at the Proposition 218 public hearing.

Upon completion of the final rate study analysis, Stantec will support the implementation of the proposed rates by working with City Staff to ensure that the adopted rates are correctly loaded into the City' s utility billing software.

Task 3. 6 - Update of Municipal Code
Upon completion of the rate study, Stantec will support the update of the applicable section of the City of Manteca Municipal Code, Title 13, that pertain to sewer service charges ( e. g., rates). This work will be subject to review by the City Attorney ( Stantec does not provide legal advice). As part of this process, Stantec will also provide assistance with notification for public review, and assistance through the adoption process with the City of Manteca Planning Commission and City Council.

Task 3. 7 - Development of Reports
The final report will be an update of the report from the Interim Rate Study, using the same approach and format, but will reflect the changes to assumptions, the CIP, operating budget, and provide a new recommended schedule of rate increases. This report will also include new sections outlining the approach and methodology used during the cost- of-service analysis, the rate design, and the findings of the rate survey.

Task 3. 8 - Online Model Development
At the conclusion of the Study, Stantec will provide the City with access to an online version of the FAMS model developed for the wastewater utility during the Study. Initial access to the model will be included through the end of the fiscal year of the final rate study portion of the analysis, subject to a separate licensing agreement. Access will include training and user support. Ongoing FAMS subscriptions for subsequent fiscal years are also available upon request. An Excel version of the FAMS model is not included as part of this scope of work.

Task 4 — Wastewater Master Plan
Task 4. 1 - Hydraulic Analysis and Model Development
Subtask 4. 1. 1 — Perform Data Collection and Review
Stantec will complete an organized and systematic review of the existing data including the existing master plans, condition assessment evaluations, Water Quality Control Facility ( WQCF) evaluations, base maps, record drawings, GIS shape files, and land use plans.

Stantec will collect and reviews Y stem performance P and condition data including9 flow data historical Sanitary Sewer Overflows ( SSOs), condition assessment data, O& M maintenance records, sewer cleaning schedules, interior and exterior point repairs, etc.

F3 and Associates will perform field survey of approximately 50 sewer manholes ( more or less, depending on need and available budget) and capture missing information such as elevations, size, material, condition photos, and GPS data points at each sewer manholes. Data from the surreys will be used as an important input to the hydraulic model, to update the project GIS, and ultimately for the City to update their GIs data.

Stantec will conduct limited site observations of the critical sewer manholes on trunk lines and other critical sewer mains for the assessment of constraints such as site accessibility, environmental concerns, O& M concerns and design constraints.

Stantec will conduct onsite comprehensive and detailed interviews with City staff to capture their knowledge, needs, concerns and goals for the wastewater infrastructure. This will be a key step, possibly the most important, to completing the existing system performance and developing updated O& M procedures.

Subtask 4. 1. 2— Flow Monitoring
Following data collection, the next critical steps of the project are developing design flows, hydraulic criteria, and land use followed by model software selection, build, calibration, and assessment of the system to both current and future build out conditions.

Stantec has partnered with V&A Consulting Engineers, Inc. to deliver the flow monitoring for the City of Manteca system. The goals of the flow monitoring effort will be to capture flow patterns from distinct land use types to develop demands, capture flow at critical points throughout the system for calibration of the 82 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
model and place enough monitors to capture 1/ 1 contribution from different areas of the system. Stantec has planned for 10 flow monitoring locations and one rain gauge for a period of four months. Based on our experience with similarly sized systems, we feel this number of monitors and duration will provide ample information for demand development and calibration. Stantec will develop a list of suitable locations for flow monitoring in concert with City staff, and V&A will provide desktop analysis ( GIS, sewer plans, Google Earth, etc.) to verify suitability of primary and alternative manholes for installation of a flow meter.

Subtask 4. 1. 3— Design Flows and Hydraulic Criteria
Hydraulic criteria set the metrics by which the collection system is evaluated and dictate the requirements for both the current and future infrastructure of the system. It includes determination of dry and wet weather flow conditions, design storms from historical rainfall data, and estimates for inflow and infiltration into the sewer system. Stantec will leverage design criteria and lessons learned from across the US to aid in the selection of the best criteria for the City. Once the model is built, Stantec can also help the City to determine the most cost- effective level of services for future updates. For example, Stantec can determine improvements required such that no SSO occurs during 2- year, 5- year, and 10- year storms.

That will help City to determine which criteria is the most cost- effective level of services for their rate payers.

Subtask 4. 1. 4— Land Use Development
To understand current conditions and to plan for future conditions it is important to understand the current and future land uses. Stantec will work with the City to identify areas of new development and other new developments. In addition, we will use local planning documents, general land use, and other information collected to assess potential growth and apply that to projected sewer flows and the hydraulic model.

Subtask 4. 1. 5— Wastewater Model Development
This task will involve developing a wastewater model to simulate the performance of the existing sanitary system. The model will be constructed by importing the available GIS- based system data and newly collected survey data into the selected software package. Sub- basins will be re- delineated along parcel boundaries to estimate the areas tributary to flow meter locations. These catchments will be linked to the network at the nearest downstream manhole that conveyed the catchment' s full discharge. Equivalent populations will be assigned to catchments. Stantec will review sub- basin boundaries with the City prior to allocating flows to the model. Facilities such as lift stations will be included in the model based on as- built drawings to reflect the physical system as close as possible. The Existing Model network will then be verified as well as the lift station components against available as- built drawings and other available data source. The downstream network tracing tool will be used to confirm the connectivity. Using WQCF and Flow Monitoring data, Stantec will develop sewers h ed- specific flow generation characteristics such as average dry weather flow( ADWF) sewage generation, diurnal sewage patterns for weekdays and weekends, baseflow and groundwater infiltration ( GWI), rainfall dependent inflow and infiltration ( RDII), and peak wet weather flow( WWF) rates throughout the system. Stantec will utilize this information to assign the Dry weather flow( DWF) unit hydrographs for each catchment applied on a per capita basis into the model. Once the initial model structure is developed, the model will be debugged until it can iterate successfully to a valid solution within numerical solution tolerance limits.

Subtask 4. 1. 6— Model Calibration
It is always necessary to verify model simulations match actual sewer performance by properly calibrating any model intended to assess the hydraulic capacity of an existing system. This is even more so when such a tool will form the basis of significant investment and asset management decisions. 83 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
The first calibration efforts will involve dry weather flows, where the unit hydrographs ( diurnal coefficients) are routed through the system and compared to measured flow data for different stations in flow monitoring report. In areas of high groundwater table fluctuations, there can be differing degrees of" dry weather flow"—so Stantec will pay heed to this.

The dry weather flow is characterized by base flow loading and by diurnal residential/ commercial wastewater generation. The base flow sewage is dependent upon the land area of each catchment and has constant loading throughout the day, while residential/ commercial wastewater sewage generation are based on per capita ( equivalent population) loads within each catchment. Catchments will be assigned the equivalent population value, an amalgamation of residential and employment populations weekdays and weekends, different diurnal patterns will be applied in the model. The calibration of the model is an iterative process, the accuracy of each iteration being determined qualitatively by a visual inspection and quantitatively through an analysis of the minimum, maximum, and average flows for the period. Once the modeled flow for DWF is calibrated to within acceptable tolerances, flow depths and velocities from the flow monitor data will be compared to the modeled results.

The second stage of the calibration will address calibration of the model to rainfall wet weather flow conditions. These situations often represent the most extreme cases of system loading. Extraneous flows, depths, and volumes will be determined from the available flow monitoring data, as well as corresponding rainfall data for each wet weather flow event recorded.

The effective area for each manhole will be established as a percentage of the physical sewershed area initially estimated by determining the ratio of extraneous flow volume to the total rainfall volume from flow monitoring data).

The WWF model will be calibrated using initial values and adjusted for each flow monitor sewershed individually, in an iterative process. Different catchment areas will be calibrated to reflect different RDII responses. Other hydrologic parameters will then be modified until the model matches the total volume and shape of the monitoring data during the storm event based upon available flow monitoring data. Once the modeled flow for WWF is calibrated to within acceptable tolerances, flow depths and velocities from the flow monitor data will be compared to the modeled results. Several graphs and figures will be presented in the report to summarize the calibrated dry weather flow( DWF) and WWF model results for major stations in flow monitoring report.

Subtask 4. 1. 7 — Existing System Assessment
The calibrated model will then be used to evaluate the level of service ( LOS) performance of the existing sewer system under Dry Weather Flow( DWF) and Wet Weather Flow ( WWF) conditions using the selected design storm event flow scenarios. We will discuss and confirm the system performance metrics or LOS criteria that will be used to examine the system performance ( metrics that assess pipe capacity, manhole surcharging, lift station capacity, etc.). Analysis of the existing system hinges on two important factors: 1) Identifying issues and deficiencies in the current system 2) Optimizing overall operation of the current system. Identifying current issues is predicated upon clear and frequent communication between Stantec and City engineering and operations staff. Stantec will identify all current deficiencies based on the established planning criteria and develop improvement projects to address each deficiency. GIS information such as pipe material and age will also be used to recommend a rehabilitation and replacement program in conjunction with available condition assessment and CCTV investigation.

Beyond an issue- by- issue recommendation schedule to address current deficiencies, the existing system analysis will include a system- wide look at how flow is conveyed and how one sub basin relates to the next.

Subtask 4. 1. 8— Future System Assessment and Servicing Plan The existing system assessment represents the current state of the collection system. This will change over time through the influences of component deterioration, capital investment, changing usage patterns, and ongoing growth and development. Once the existing system model has been developed, calibrated, and reviewed, Stantec will begin the process of extending of the model to account for future scenarios and build- out. The existing model will be further developed into a Future System model to represent sanitary catchments for build- out future development, using population densities and projections in the City' s Land Use Plan. DWF patterns and rates will be applied, and WWF parameters will be established based on industry standards for I& I in new developments. Servicing infrastructure will be added to the model, necessary to convey future flows to the City' s WQCF, either through existing infrastructure or via new conveyances. The initial servicing strategy for future growth will align growth areas with logical servicing points in the City' s existing system. The model will then be run as an initial scenario for DWF and WWF to" test" the impacts of growth on the existing system.

Stantec will develop a future scenario that captures all expected growth and identifies the improvements necessary to serve that growth, while identifying the reasoning and recommended timing for each improvement. Stantec will identify drivers for improvements, and prioritize the CIP based on the most likely asset to fail. For these improvements, it is important the true driver is identified, and timing is based on that trigger event. By identifying triggers, the City will be able to pinpoint which areas or pipes may need additional investigation. This will allow the City to have a full assessment of the needs for a future system, while still having a prioritized list of improvements that can be implemented or studied further given specific growth or development.

Task 4. 2 - WQCF Expansion Phasing
Key issues that must be addressed in the Master Plan are summarized below:

A critical criterion for developing the Wastewater Master Plan is the average wastewater flow when the City is fully built out. According to the City' s General Plan, the buildout population is expected to be around 206, 000 by the year 2050. With a 2020 population of about 87, 000, the average wastewater flow was 7. 18 Mgal/ d, indicating a possible buildout flow of around 17 Mgal/ d, which is slightly less than the 17. 5 Mgal/ d limit indicated in the existing discharge permit. Therefore, if current growth rates continue, the buildout condition could be reached in about 29 years. Since 14. 7percent of the current capacity of the WQCF is contracted to the City of Lathrop, the 29- year horizon is contingent on the extent the City of Lathrop participates in expansion of the WQCF. Appropriate planning criteria must be developed for City growth rate and the timing and amount of flow occurring at buildout to be used as the basis of the Master Plan. A range of possible growth rates and City of Lathrop participation can be considered.

Plant design and operation are governed by permit requirements for effluent disposal and/ or reuse.

The current permit for discharge into the San Joaquin River requires effluent cooling for discharges over 9. 87 Mgal/ d. Since effluent cooling would have high capital and operating costs and take up significant land area, and since wastewater reuse is highly beneficial in California, a reuse alternative should be considered.

Regardless of discharge or reuse option, nitrogen removal will remain a key concern for the WQCF.

There is pressure for development and other possible uses for lands that may be needed for WQCF expansion. Therefore, a small footprint for WQCF expansion would be highly beneficial. 85 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
Wastewater flows and loads from equivalent dwelling units and other types of development as well as City of Lathrop participation must be defined to allow appropriate planning.

A plan for the logical expansion of the WQCF in phases that protect the City' s long- term needs while providing affordable and sustainable wastewater management solutions is needed.

A draft capacity assessment of the secondary treatment process prepared by Stantec/ HERWIT recommended interim improvements to allow flows up to 9. 23 Mgal/ d. Therefore, the Master Plan will primarily address expansion beyond that capacity. Although previous planning and the existing discharge permit envisioned the next expansion would be to a capacity of 17. 5 Mgal/ d, that capacity is not likely to be required within twenty years and may exceed the City buildout flow. Because of the high costs of building and then maintaining facilities before they are needed, Stantec would work with the City to define an affordable phasing plan. The phasing plan will be dependent on planned growth rates within the City, City of Lathrop participation, and confirmation of the buildout flow. Our approach is to focus the planning on the 17. 5 Mgal/ d permitted expansion which coincidentally accommodates the General Plan buildout of 206, 000 people.

Subtask 4. 2. 1 — Evaluate Permitting Requirements
Stantec will review the current NPDES permit and provide an assessment of the probable future permitting requirements and level of treatment required for the effluent disposal alternatives considered in this study.

Subtask 4. 2. 2— Existing and Future Flows and Loads
The Master Plan will be based on wastewater flows and loads to be determined for existing and future development. Having just completed a flows and loads analysis for the Capacity Assessment, Stantec will extend this evaluation for the purposes of the Master Plan, including more detailed evaluation of flows and loads due to dwelling units, businesses, and other development. Future flow and load projections will consider alternative scenarios based on levels of water conservation.

Subtask 4. 2. 3— Influent Pump
The influent pump station will be evaluated with respect to existing issues ( based on input from City staff), capacity, alternatives for expansion, and appropriate phasing. Improvements to correct existing issues, enhance reliability, and extend the capacities of existing facilities will be developed.

Subtask 4. 2. 4— Influent Screening
The influent screening will be evaluated with respect to existing issues ( based on input from City staff), capacity, alternatives for expansion, and appropriate phasing. Improvements to correct existing issues, enhance reliability, and extend the capacities of existing facilities will be developed.

Subtask 4. 2. 5— Grit Removal
The grit removal facilities will be evaluated with respect to existing issues ( based on input from City staff), capacity, alternatives for expansion, and appropriate phasing. Improvements to correct existing issues, enhance reliability, and extend the capacities of existing facilities will be developed.

Subtask 4. 2. 6— Primary Clarifiers
The WQCF currently uses primary clarifiers for removal of settleable solids in the raw wastewater.

Because of the relatively large footprint and cost of primary clarifiers, Stantec will evaluate filtering the raw 86 of 94
Exhibit "B" ATTACHMENT 3
wastewater for flows beyond the capacity of the existing clarifiers using alternative treatment technologies.

Subtask 4. 2. 7— Secondary Treatment
The secondary treatment system includes aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, and ancillary facilities.

Stantec/ HERWIT presented a detailed evaluation of these facilities in the Capacity Assessment.

Capacities were determined and improvements were recommended that could be implemented relatively quickly without new structures or major new mechanical equipment systems. The Master Plan analysis will consider additional alternatives for improvement and expansion, which will require new structures and mechanical systems. Four main alternatives will be considered: 1) expand in- kind, 2) intensification of existing facilities to increase capacity and improve performance followed by expansion with the same type of facilities, 3) expand with membrane bioreactors ( MBRs), and 4) intensify existing facilities and expand with MBRs. In each case, the impacts of future importation of food waste to the WQCF anaerobic digesters and the use of sidestream treatment to remove nitrogen from the sludge dewatering return flow will be considered.

Subtask 4. 2. 8— Effluent Filtration
The effluent filters will be evaluated with respect to existing issues ( based on input from City staff), capacity, alternatives for expansion, and appropriate phasing. Improvements to correct existing issues, enhance reliability, and extend the capacities of existing facilities will be developed.

Subtask 4. 2. 9— Effluent Conveyance/ Reuse/ Disposal Facilities The effluent conveyance, reuse, and alternative disposal methods will be evaluated with consideration to the level of treatment required for compliance with existing and probable future permitting requirements.

Subtask 4. 2. 10— UV Disinfection System
The existing UV system has not performed well, causing several permit violations. The existing system is difficult to clean, operate, and maintain. Alternative UV designs will be evaluated, noting that lower UV dosing would be required after MBR secondary treatment.

Subtask 4. 2. 11 — Solids Handling
The solids handling system includes thickening, anaerobic digestion, and sludge dewatering using centrifuges. The centrifuges are costly to operate and maintain, so other dewatering alternatives will be evaluated. Stantec/ HERWIT designed the existing compressed natural gas ( CNG) facilities that make beneficial use of the anaerobic digester gas and would evaluate the best means of expansion. Evaluation of sidestream treatment systems to remove nitrogen from the sludge dewatering return flow would be coordinated with any evaluation and design occurring on an expedited basis as previously recommended in the Capacity Assessment completed by Stantec/ HERWIT.

Subtask 4. 2. 12— Ancillary and Support Systems
Ancillary and support system include electrical will be evaluated with respect to existing issues ( based on input from City staff), capacity, alternatives for expansion, and appropriate phasing. Improvements to correct existing issues, enhance reliability, and extend the capacities of existing facilities will be developed.

Subtask 4. 2. 13 — WQCF Expansion Phasing Plan
Stantec will develop an expansion phasing plan for future development growth along with accompanying recommended improvements needed to support future growth.

Task 4. 3 - Evaluate Operations and Maintenance Program Subtask 4. 3. 1 — Review Current O& M Practices
Using annual operating expense documentation, Stantec will review historic operations and maintenance demands for the WQCF and sewer collection system. The historical data will be compared with the expected costs of operation based on O& M programs of similarly sized facilities with similar treatment and discharge requirements ( including anticipated number of personnel to successfully meet the NPDES permit requirements and projected major equipment maintenance needs).

Subtask 4. 3. 2— Assess Need for Additional Resources and Equipment The comparison with other utilities will be used to assess whether additional resources and associated costs ( for personnel and/ or equipment) are necessary to reliably, successfully, and safely meet the service goals of the City.

Subtask 4. 3. 3— Prepare Cost Estimates and Recommendations Based on the results of the evaluation, Stantec will include a recommendation for annual operating expenses for future budgeting purposes.

Subtask 4. 3. 4— Prepare Report Document
Stantec will submit draft and final documents in PDF and raw file format( see Deliverables below).

Task 4. 4 - Capital Improvement Program
We propose to redo and/ or repackage the existing master plan material, resolving the existing plan deficiencies identified in the RFP, adding the new condition assessment data and results, incorporating the results of this condition assessment, all bundled together with the new CIPs. This would provide a new consolidated and integrated " new edition" of the master plan to serve the City' s needs going forward.

Subtask 4. 4. 1 — CIP Development
We propose that the CIP be developed as a document that can both be integrated into the Master Plan Study and standalone. We will confirm this approach with you and are confident this approach— with a standalone CIP— will provide the most utility.

Based on the results of the existing master plan deficiencies and the condition assessment, projects will be identified with a brief description, cost estimates and relative importance based on the condition assessment results. With City concurrence on the analysis results and project ranking, this will allow repair, rehabilitation or replacement capital projects to be spread over time for implementation and budgeting, and ultimately incorporated into a rate structure to support reliable infrastructure.

Subtask 4. 4. 2— Prepare CIP Document
In preparing the Wastewater Master Plan document, Stantec will work with the City to incorporate the goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan and GIS Base Map such that the documents are internally consistent. Stantec will also develop a plan to align improvement plans with upcoming/ anticipated regulations and address sustainability issues, including potential impacts of climate change and sea level rise.

Task 6. 1 - Review Existing Environmental Documents
To fulfill the requirements under California Environmental Quality Act( CEQA), the City' s existing Environmental Impact Report( EIR) prepared for the City' s 2007 Wastewater Master Plan must be amended or updated to a programmatic EIR based on the infrastructure improvements recommended in the new Wastewater Master Plan. Under this Task, Stantec will review and evaluate the City' s existing 2007 Wastewater Master Plan, including the associated EIR and other relevant environmental documents. Following this evaluation, Stantec will prepare a technical memorandum that outlines the costs and schedule for preparing and completing the required environmental documentation through the duration of the Project. This effort will be led by Stantec Regulatory Specialist, Emily C. Eppinger, with support from Stantec' s Environmental Services staff.

Task 7. 1 — Review Current and Future Staffing Needs
Stantec will prepare a staffing report to help estimate the appropriate level of staffing required to adequately operate and maintain the WQCF and Sewer Collection System. For the WQCF, the report will include the current and anticipated future facility classification and required minimum certification grade level of the chief plant operator and designated operator in charge, based on Section 13626 of the California Water Code. It will further define the experience and education requirements mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board for each operator certification grade level, as well as typical responsibilities associated with each grade level. For the City engineering and sewer collection operations staff, Patrick Lytle, a staffing specialist with Stantec will utilize industry benchmarking data and develop a metrics comparison ranges against the current City staffing. The evaluation will be focused on understanding staffing numbers, levels, ratios, and structures relative to the other industry benchmarking data. The staffing report will include recommendations on staffing levels needed to manage the future WQCF and sewer collection system infrastructure and will also include succession planning to prepare for the retirement of key personnel.

Task 8. 1 - Public Outreach and Education
Public outreach and education will begin with a deep dive assessment of current outreach, media, and public perception and existing collateral and website content related to sewer planning and rates.

Following this audit, Stantec will conduct an outreach meeting with CV Strategies and staff to determine goals, priorities, target audiences, and a timeline. Stantec and CV Strategies will host a web site and use this information to develop key messages and an outreach plan designed to help the City consistently and effectively communicate details of the interim and final rate studies and the master plan to build public understanding and confidence in the need for rate increases.

Task 8. 2 - Proposition 218 Notification
Stantec, with the support of CV Strategies, will develop Proposition 218 notifications for both the interim and the final rate studies. The notifications will demonstrate the need and benefit of the rates, explain the proposed rates and rate structure, provide a high- level summary of how the new funds will be used, identify when public meetings and the Proposition 218 hearing will be held, and demonstrate how the City is operating in compliance with all of the requirements of Proposition 218. Our scope and budget assume the City will provide legal review of the rate notifications, translation into additional languages ( if desired), and a verified list of addresses for the Proposition 218 notification mailings.
