DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Award of Proposal and Agreement for Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) Administration Services to Goodwin Consulting Group, of Sacramento, CA for a two (2) year Agreement with three (3) one-year extension options, for an annual estimated amount of $90,000 and a total amount not to exceed $450,000 over five years, and forwarding to Council for approval.

Since 1996, the City of Modesto has formed fifteen (15) CFDs pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
Annual tasks performed typically include updating the CFD database, calculating annual special tax levies, providing CFD administration report preparation for State required reporting.
Compiling a list of parcels in the CFD subject to the special tax levy and submitting taxes to the Auditor-Controller’s Office for inclusion on consolidated property tax bills.

DISCUSSION:
After authorization, the Purchasing Division issued a formal Request for Proposals (RFP 2122- 20) for the Administration Services for Community Facilities Districts on September 23, 2021.
Prospective bidders were notified online and via email of the bid opportunity. Twenty-four (24) companies downloaded the RFP document. On November 16, 2021, proposals were formally opened in the City Clerk’s office. Two (2) companies responded, neither of which were local vendors. Both companies provided responsive and responsible proposals.
Proposals were evaluated based on references, qualifications, project plan and schedule, completeness of response and cost. Three (3) staff members1 from the City participated in the evaluation process and selection.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases that meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment or contractual services to follow the formal bid procedures. The award of RFP 2122-20 and agreement for Administration Services for Community Facilities Districts for the Community and Economic Development Department to Goodwin Consulting Group of Sacramento, CA is exempt from formal bidding pursuant to Municipal Code Section 8-
3.204(a) because it is an agreement for professional services. However, the City complied with the formal bid procedures and Goodwin Consulting Group was ranked highest among the bidders.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Goodwin Consulting Group contract will be paid through the annual maintenance tax of each CFD. Funds are currently budgeted under professional services in each of the CFD funds in an average annual amount of $90,000 and not to exceed $450,000 over five years. Term of the contract will be for a period of two (2) years, with three (3) one-year extension options at the sole discretion of City, for a total of up to five (5) years.

SUBJECT: Agreement with West Yost Associates
Engineering Services for the Jennings Well Treatment Improvements Project CONTACT: Cristian Ciotau, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected], (209) 577-5260
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving an Agreement with West Yost Associates, Sacramento, CA, for Engineering Services for the Jennings Well Treatment Improvements Project in the amount of $219,300 for the identified scope of services, plus $21,930 in additional services, if needed, for a total amount not to exceed $241,230, and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Wastewater Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The Jennings Well provides potable water to the City’s Jennings Wastewater Treatment Plant (Jennings Plant) for Operations and Maintenance staff. The Jennings Well has historically exceeded the secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for chloride, manganese, sulfate, hardness (CaCO3), electrical conductance (EC) and total dissolved solids. When chlorinated, manganese precipitates out of solution and leaves a dark residual that must be flushed out of the distribution system on a regular basis.
The City previously retained West Yost Associates (West Yost) to evaluate treatment or other available options and provide recommendations to improve potable water quality.
Findings from the evaluation included the following:

Economic Development Committee, April 4, 2022
Agreement with West Yost Associates
Engineering Services for the Jennings Well Treatment Improvements Project
Drilling a replacement well or modification of the existing well is unlikely to improve water quality; therefore, adding treatment to the existing well is recommended to meet applicable water quality requirements.
The proposed treatment system consists of replacing the existing well pump with a higher head unit and adding a pressure tank, a water softener, and a packaged reverse osmosis treatment unit.
Water demands at the Jennings Plant and the City Composting Facility are projected to increase, but are within the production capacity of the existing well, even with implementation of treatment.
DISCUSSION:
After reviewing the technical memorandum provided by West Yost, staff recommends proceeding with the improvements as recommended by the consultant. The review included a closer evaluation of the brine waste discharge and increase in total dissolved solids that would result from the proposed treatment system. The anticipated increase was found to be a small fraction of the total load at Jennings Plant and would likely not be detectable.
In addition, the proposed Jennings Well will be able to provide potable water service to the nearby City Composting Facility, which currently does not have a potable water supply.
Considering current staff workload, resources and expertise required for this project, staff is recommending the use of a consultant.
On April 28, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-203, Council approved a prequalified list of consultants for Engineering Services for Wastewater and Storm Drain CIP projects in accordance with City Administrative Directive 3.1, Selection Procedures for Professional Consultants who Provide Architectural & Engineering Services for Capital Projects.
In accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(a) Exceptions to Formal Bidding Requirements, this agreement is for professional services and, therefore, exempt from the bid requirement. Additionally, per Administrative Directive 3.1: Selection Procedures for Professional Consultants who Provide Architectural & Engineering Services for Capital Projects, the Director at his direction, may secure a candidate firm if it is in the best interest of the City.
Considering West Yost conducted the treatment study, there is efficiency in utilizing their resources. Therefore, based on the expertise of their team and previous project experience, staff recommends approval of an agreement with West Yost Associates for engineering services for the Jennings Well Treatment Improvements Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The following account has been created to track the expenses associated with this project and will be funded in FY 2021-22:

Modesto, CA 95353
SUBJECT:
Dear Cristian:
The purpose of this letter proposal is to describe West Yost’s proposed Scope of Services, Budget, and Schedule for design, bid period, and construction period support associated with equipping the City of Modesto’s (City’s) existing Jennings Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) potable water supply well (Jennings Well) with a treatment system capable of supplying water that meets all primary and secondary water quality requirements.
BACKGROUND
The Jennings Well provides potable water to the City’s Jennings WWTP for City staff use. The Jennings Well has historically exceeded secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for chloride, manganese, sulfate, hardness (as CaCO3), electrical conductance (EC) and total dissolved solids. When chlorinated, manganese precipitates out of solution and leaves a dark residual that must be flushed out of the distribution system on a regular basis.
The City previously retained West Yost to evaluate options and provide recommendations to provide potable water to the Jennings WWTP and the nearby City Composting Facility, which currently does not have a potable water supply. Findings from the evaluation included the following:
• Drilling a replacement well or modification of the existing well is unlikely to improve water quality; therefore, adding treatment to the existing well is recommended to meet applicable water quality requirements.
• The proposed treatment system consists of replacing the existing well pump with a higher head unit and adding a pressure tank, a water softener, and a packaged reverse osmosis treatment unit.
• Projected water demands at the Jennings WWTP and the City Composting Facility are projected to increase substantially but are within the production capacity of the existing well, even with implementation of treatment.
Proposal for Jennings Potable Water Supply Well Treatment Design, Bidding and Construction Period Engineering Services

January 25, 2022
The City reviewed the proposed recommendations further with West Yost and confirmed that the City will proceed with improvements as recommended. The City’s review included a closer evaluation of the brine waste discharge that would result from the proposed treatment system, and the associated increase in total dissolved solids as a result. The anticipated increase was found to be a small fraction of the total load at Jennings WWTP and would likely not be detectable1. Upon determining that the impact from the brine waste would be minimal, the City requested that West Yost prepare this proposal to proceed with design and associated bid period and construction period services for the recommended improvements.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
West Yost has organized the Scope of Services into the following tasks, each further described below:
• Task 1. Preliminary Design and Basis of Design Memorandum • Task 2. Design of Treatment Improvements
• Task 3. Bid Period Services
• Task 4. Engineering Services during Construction
• Task 5. Project Management and Meetings
Task 1. Preliminary Design and Basis of Design Memorandum Under this task, the conceptual treatment system design will be formally defined. The conceptual treatment system layout/design prepared for the City by West Yost in a technical memorandum (TM) titled Jennings Well Facilities and Treatment Evaluation (dated April 14, 2020), will serve as a basis for the preliminary design of treatment improvements. Improvements will be further defined and summarized in a Basis of Design Memorandum (BODM). The previous TM generally recommended the following, and is assumed for budgeting purposes:
• Treatment System. Recommended treatment system improvements include the following:
— New well pump (25 gpm @ 125 feet of total dynamic head) — New 370-gallon raw water hydropneumatic tank
— A dual-softener system (intended to remove soluble manganese from water, to prevent fouling of the reverse osmosis (RO) units) and associated brine tank — A packaged RO system (includes RO feed pump, cartridge filter, and five RO modules mounted on a skid); two units are planned, but only one unit is needed initially; another unit could be added in the future if additional treatment capacity or additional supply is needed — Concentrate waste drainpipe to nearby adjacent distribution box, approximately 250 lineal feet (LF), which will direct the waste stream to the Phase II treatment facilities to minimize the salinity impacts to the Jennings WWTP discharge — Equipment pads for new treatment equipment and a canopy limiting ultraviolet (UV) exposure to proposed treatment equipment

SUBJECT: Jennings Well Facilities and Treatment Evaluation The purpose of this technical memorandum (TM) is to summarize West Yost Associates’ (West Yost) evaluation of the City of Modesto’s (City) Jennings Well Facilities and evaluate the need for additional facilities to provide potable water meeting all primary and secondary requirements for existing and future demands.
Significant findings of this evaluation include the following:
• Projected water demands at the Jennings Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and composting facility increase substantially but are within the capacity of the existing well, even with implementation of treatment.
• Drilling a replacement well or modification of the existing well is unlikely to improve water quality, thus adding treatment to the existing well is recommended to meet applicable water quality requirements.
• The proposed treatment system consists of a pressure tank, a water softener, and a packaged reverse osmosis unit.
• The existing well pump does not have sufficient head to feed a proposed treatment system and should be replaced with a higher head pump.
• There is sufficient electrical capacity at the site to power the proposed treatment system. • The capacity of the existing potable water booster pumps and distribution system is sufficient for the projected growth.
• The opinion of probable construction cost for the recommended project is approximately $448,000 and would result in annual operating costs of approximately $31,800. Of the total construction cost, water quality improvements are estimated at $202,000 and pipeline improvements (to extend water service to the Composting Facility) are estimated at $246,000.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Jennings Well is a potable water supply well located at the City’s Jennings WWTP. The Jennings Well currently provides water for potable use for Jennings WWTP staff. The Jennings Well facilities are generally described as follows:
• The well is equipped with a submersible pump that can supply a peak flow of 25 gallons per minute (gpm) at a total dynamic head (TDH) of 60 feet. • The well discharges to a 5,000-gallon storage tank after being treated with sodium hypochlorite. A flow meter is located between the well and the storage tank. • A duplex booster pump system pumps the water from the storage tank to maintain distribution system pressure (between 40 to 60 pounds per square inch [psi]) in a 500-gallon bladder style hydropneumatic tank. The pump station consists of one small jockey pump (0.75-hp, 10-gpm @ 175 feet of TDH) and two larger pumps (each 5-hp, 50 gpm @ 175 feet of TDH).
• The distribution system includes approximately 6,300 lineal feet of 4‐inch to 6‐inch diameter pipe. There are eleven (11) service connections: six (6) connections associated with the conventional WWTP and five (5) connections associated with Phase 2 tertiary treatment buildings.
Water from the Jennings Well has exceeded secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for chloride, manganese, sulfate, hardness (as CaCO3) electrical conductance (E.C.), and total dissolved solids (TDS). When chlorinated, the manganese precipitates out and leaves a dark residue that must be flushed out of the distribution system on a regular basis. Consequently, there has been reluctance from City staff to use the water since secondary water quality requirements have not been met.
Arsenic and gross alpha radiation have exceeded 50 percent of their respective primary MCLs, thus arsenic and gross alpha should continue to be monitored.
A City-owned and operated composting facility is located adjacent to the WWTP. The composting facility currently does not have a domestic water supply source and, as a result, has drinking water delivered weekly. In addition to the composting facility, potable water demands to be served by #2..

the Jennings Well are expected to increase due to relocation of the City’s Sutter WWTP facilities to the Jennings WWTP site, and due to a planned Phase 3 Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Expansion at the Jennings WWTP.
In light of existing water quality concerns and the future planned growth at and adjacent to the Jennings WWTP, the City retained West Yost to conduct this evaluation with the following objectives:
• To project the ultimate potable water demand associated with planned future growth, • To evaluate the various components of the existing Jennings Facilities, and • To recommend capital improvements necessary to serve the projected future potable water demand while meeting all primary and secondary water quality requirements.
It should be noted that City staff conducted an evaluation of the Jennings Well a few years ago.
The results and findings discussed in this TM generally concur with the findings of the previous evaluation, except that the recommended treatment capacity is now being sized to accommodate projected future demand. This effort is intended to supplement the previous evaluation and provide specific recommendations for implementation by the City.
EXISTING AND FUTURE WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS
Based on available demand data and discussions with City staff, West Yost prepared estimates for existing and projected average annual and maximum monthly potable water demands for the Jennings WWTP. Projected water demands are summarized in Table 1, and are comprised of the following components:
• Existing Jennings WWTP demands
• Future demands associated with the Sutter Water Treatment Plant facility relocation • Future demands associated with the composting facility • Future demands associated with the Phase 3 BNR expansion Each of these demand components, and specific data or details of each, are discussed in subsequent sections. As summarized in Table 1, the projected buildout average daily demand is estimated to be 12,000 gallons per day (gpd), or approximately 8.4 gpm. Projected buildout maximum monthly demand is estimated to be 15,300 gpd, or approximately 10.6 gpm. Since Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data is not available for the Jennings Well facilities, daily variations of demands cannot be determined. Therefore, maximum monthly demands were used as a surrogate for maximum daily and peak hour demands.

Existing Jennings WWTP Demands
The historical monthly production of the Jennings Well between 2015 and 2018 is shown on Figure 1. As shown, there is an apparent reduction in average annual demand beginning September 2016. The average annual production between 2015 and 2018 was 0.46 million gallons (MG) (0.9 gpm average daily demand). Between 2017 and 2018, the average annual production of the Jennings Well dropped to 0.36 MG (0.7 gpm average daily demand). Although the recent two-year average more accurately represents current conditions, the four-year average was used to estimate average annual water demands for the purposes of developing demand projections.
Maximum month demand conditions were estimated by selecting the highest water demand month from the available data set. The maximum monthly demand observed was August 2016 at 2,017 gpd (1.4 gpm), or approximately a 60 percent increase from average daily conditions.
Sutter Wastewater Treatment Plant
The historical monthly potable consumption for all service meters at the existing Sutter Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) between 2015 and 2019 are shown on Figure 2. Water usage was on average lower in 2015 than in any of the other years and was slightly greater during 2017.
The average annual water use between 2015 and 2018, the same time period of the available Jennings WWTP data, was 3.29 MG (6.3 gpm average daily demand).
Maximum month demands were estimated by selecting the highest water demand month from the available data set. The maximum monthly demand observed was August 2017 at 10,696 gpd (7.4 gpm), or an 18 percent increase from average daily conditions.
For the purposes of this evaluation, it was assumed that 100 percent of the existing Sutter WWTP potable water demand would be transferred to the Jennings WWTP. It should be noted that although all facilities are being relocated, not all City staff will be transferring to the new Jennings WWTP. Thus, it is expected that less than 100 percent of existing Sutter WWTP potable water demand would be transferred to the expanded Jennings WWTP.
Composting Facility
Potable water demand of the Composting Facility is currently met by regular water deliveries. An existing 4,000-gallon potable water tank at the facility is refilled once or twice per week. For the purposes of this evaluation, potable water demand associated with the Composting Facility was estimated to be 8,000 gallons per week (i.e., two refills per week). Using this conservative estimate, the facility’s average annual water demand is approximately 0.42 MG (0.8 gpm average daily demand).
Peaking conditions are not known. Thus, maximum month demand was assumed to have a 50 percent peaking factor from average daily demands or approximately 1.2 gpm. #2..

Phase 3 Biological Nutrient Removal Expansion
The water demand increase associated with the Phase 3 BNR Expansion is not known but was assumed to be 50 percent of historical Jennings Well water demand. Therefore, the average annual water demand for the BNR system was projected to be 0.23 MG (0.4 gpm average annual demand).
Similarly, maximum month conditions were assumed to be 50 percent of historical maximum monthly demands served by the Jennings Well. Therefore, the maximum monthly demand was projected to be 0.7 gpm.
GROUNDWATER EVALUATION
The following sections summarize the existing down-hole facilities, supply capacity and alternatives to improve groundwater quality.
Existing Well and Water Quality
The existing Jennings Well was constructed in 2009 using mud rotary techniques. The well has a bentonite clay annular sanitary seal that extends from approximately land surface to a depth of 357 feet below ground surface (bgs). The well was constructed of 6-inch inside diameter PVC casing and screen with 0.032-inch factory-slotted screen. The total depth of the cased well is 472 feet bgs. The screened interval extends over the 90-foot interval from 382 to 472 feet bgs. The filter pack consist of CEMEX #3 sand and extends from 362 feet to 475 feet bgs.
Based on regional mapping, the well produces groundwater from the confined aquifer system below the Corcoran Clay and other fine-grained confining units.
Coarse-grained aquifer materials were encountered within the screened interval from depths ranging from approximately 432 feet to 475 feet bgs, an interval of 43 feet located at the bottom of the well. The remainder of the screened and filter packed section of the well is adjacent to relatively fine-grained sediments (silty or clayey sands and clays). The coarser grained sediments probably have much higher hydraulic conductivity than the finer grained sediments within the screened interval and most of the production is probably from the 43-foot coarse-grained interval.
As noted above, without treatment, groundwater from the well exceeds secondary MCLs for chloride, manganese, sulfate, hardness (as CaCO3), E.C., and TDS. Arsenic and gross alpha radiation have exceeded 50 percent of their respective primary MCLs. These constituents are consistent with water quality characteristics reported in regional studies of the confined aquifer system and are considered typical for the area. However, based on the probable large range of aquifer hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material within the screened and filter packed interval, it is possible that there is variation in water quality by aquifer zone within the screened and filter packed interval. The finer grained intervals would be expected to have poorer water quality because of the longer residence time of the groundwater in finer grained sediments. #2..

Jennings Well Supply Capacity
As discussed in the previous section, the existing Jennings Well pump capacity is 25 gpm, and the future maximum daily demand is projected to be 10.6 gpm. Therefore, there is ample supply to meet projected demands. It is worth noting, and as discussed in the Treatment System Evaluation below, that a reverse osmosis (RO) treatment system has a waste rate of 25 percent (i.e., 75 percent recovery rate) and the water softener will need periodic backflushing. These expected water losses mean that the supply capacity of the Jennings Well with an RO treatment system would be reduced to approximately 17 to 18 gpm. However, even with this reduction of supply capacity, there is still sufficient supply capacity to meet projected future demands.
It is also worth noting that, though the existing Jennings well has sufficient supply capacity, the existing well pump would need to be replaced to accommodate the recommended treatment system. Refer to the Treatment System Evaluation for more details.
Well Alternatives Evaluation
Four alternatives were evaluated to meet the City’s water quality and yield objectives for the Jennings WWTP and composting facility domestic supply. Based on review of the well log for the existing Jennings Well and published reports on the hydrogeology of the area, the constituents found in the existing Jennings Well are typical for the area and unavoidable in the raw water produced from the aquifer. Therefore, each of the alternatives would require wellhead treatment as described in the following section.
The following alternatives were considered:
• Existing well
• Existing well with modified screened interval
• Existing well with a modified pump intake depth setting • Replacement well
Table 2 summarizes the four well alternatives.

Screen modification consists of sealing or packing off selected screened intervals based on test results, and pump testing to support permanent pump selection.
(c) Testing includes test pumping and water quality sampling of the well discharge at three test pump depth settings. (d) Includes well siting and selection of site within 500 feet of existing well, CEQA categorical exemption for replacement of existing infrastructure, preparation of plans and specifications, destruction of existing well, new well and facility construction, testing and DDW permitting.
Existing Well
Based on the available historical production and groundwater level records, the yield of the existing Jennings Well is sufficient to support at least 25 gpm, with the limiting factor being the size of the pump that could be installed in the 6-inch ID casing. Based on the well’s age, and construction records, it should have decades of useful service remaining.
Based on the adequate yield and overall good condition of the existing well, the cost of the well modification or replacement alternatives, and the low likelihood of significant water quality improvements with these alternatives, continued use of the existing well with suitable pumping equipment and treatment is recommended.

As described in the following section, the estimated capital cost for water quality treatment of the existing well, including replacement of the existing submersible pump, is $202,000. The estimated additional operation and maintenance (O&M) cost for the Existing Well alternative is $31,800 per year.
Existing Well with Modified Screened Interval
Because the projected demands are less than 25 gpm, the capacity of the existing well exceeds requirements, and the well could potentially be modified to improve water quality at the well head.
Improving well water quality could potentially be achieved by sealing off the zones with the poorest water quality, while maintaining the well yield at an acceptable level. Sealing off the zones with the poorest water quality would require downhole flow and water quality testing followed by modification of the well.
This alterative is unlikely to improve water quality significantly based on the expected poor quality of groundwater in the area.
Because wellhead treatment would probably be needed under this alternative, the estimated capital cost, including replacement of the existing submersible pump, is $202,000, plus $50,000 for downhole flow and water quality testing followed by well screen modification, for a total estimated cost of $252,000.
O&M cost savings potentially resulting from improved raw water quality and reduced treatment costs would be offset by increased energy costs due to the reduction in well yield.
Existing Well with a Modified Pump Intake Depth Setting This alternative would involve modification of the pump intake depth setting to improve raw water quality. Modification of the pump intake setting also has a very low likelihood of improving water quality. The pump intake should not be placed within the screened interval because of the risk of sand production, and placement of the pump intake at a different depth setting in the blank casing will not affect water quality because the well hydraulics in the intake section will not change.
Because wellhead treatment would be needed under this alternative, the estimated capital cost, including replacement of the existing submersible pump, is $202,000, plus $30,000 for test pumping and water quality sampling to assess variation in water quality with pump setting depth, for a total estimated cost of $232,000.
O&M costs would be essentially the same as under the Existing Well scenario.
Replacement Well
This alternative would consist of decommissioning the existing well facilities, destroying the existing well and constructing a replacement well. Major components of the well replacement alternative would include CEQA analysis, a siting study, test drilling, well construction, well facility design and construction, decommissioning of the existing facilities and State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water permitting. #2..

Wellhead treatment would probably be needed because this alterative is unlikely to improve water quality significantly based on the expected poor quality of groundwater in the area.
The estimated capital costs for this alternative are approximately $1,010,000, plus $202,000 for wellhead treatment. The cost for the submersible well pump is included in the wellhead treatment cost for consistency with the other alternatives. The total estimated capital cost for the replacement well, including wellhead treatment, is $1,212,000. This estimated capital cost is significantly less than the City’s recent municipal well projects. The City’s recently constructed municipal wells have yields ranging from approximately 500 to 1,500 gpm. The lower end of this range is 20 times greater than the yield of the existing Jennings Well. The lower estimated cost of the Jennings Replacement Well is because of the much lower yield and smaller size of the well.
O&M cost savings could potentially result from improved raw water quality and reduced treatment costs with a replacement well. However, even with a 50 percent reduction in the estimated $31,800 annual O&M costs, more than 60 years of operation would be required to offset the additional $1,010,000 in capital cost for the replacement well alterative.
TREATMENT SYSTEM EVALUATION
The potable water treatment system evaluation includes the following topics:
• Water Quality and Treatment Objective
• Proposed Treatment Process
• Treatment System Conceptual Design
• Treatment System Controls
• Air Filter for Potable Water Tank
These topics are discussed in detail below.
Water Quality and Treatment Objective
Water quality data for the Jennings WWTP domestic supply well was collected in September and October 2013. The constituents with concentrations exceeding their respective California Code of Regulations Title 22 MCLs are listed in Table 3 below. The treatment objective is to reduce the concentrations of these constituent to below 80 percent of their respective MCLs.

Proposed Treatment Process
The City’s Utilities Department prepared a feasibility study in May 2015 that evaluated treatment technologies for treating the Jennings Well water for potable use. In the study, the City evaluated non-treatment and treatment alternatives, including well destruction coupled with bulk water delivery, filtration through an iron-based sorbent (e.g., Greensand), and filtration through a point-of-entry (POE) RO treatment system. Due to the source water’s high TDS, conductivity, and salinity, and the low water demand, the POE RO system was found to be the most cost-effective, feasible alternative and was recommended for meeting the treatment objectives.
In addition to the RO system, a water softening system is recommended to remove soluble manganese from upstream of the RO system, as the manganese can cause fouling of the RO membranes. Water softening is an ion exchange process that can be effective for removal of manganese in its unprecipitated form. The manganese should not be exposed to oxygen (in air) or other oxidizers (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) that promote precipitation of manganese. The pH of the water should be low (<~8 pH) to prevent precipitation prior to treatment through the water softener. Waters with high TDS (>500 mg/L) often contain other minerals that will compete with the manganese for adsorption on the softener resin. While the Jennings Well water has high TDS, the concentrations of competing constituents are relatively low, based on the available Jennings Well water quality data.
The existing well facilities include a submersible 25-gpm capacity well pump that pumps the groundwater into a 5,000-gallon water storage tank. The water flows from the water storage tank into the booster pump station suction pipeline. The booster pump station delivers the water into the 500-gallon hydropneumatic tank or directly into the water distribution system. A bypass pipeline allows the pumped groundwater from the well to bypass the water storage tank and flow directly into the booster pump station suction pipeline if needed. Sodium hypochlorite is added upstream of the water storage tank and existing bypass connection.
The proposed water softener and RO systems would be constructed downstream of the well pump discharge and upstream of the chlorine addition point. A hydropneumatic (bladder) tank would be provided between the well pump and softening system to allow independent operation of the well pump and RO feed pump. The existing submersible well pump would need to be replaced with a higher lift pump that can maintain sufficient suction pressure for the RO feed pump considering a loss of approximately 15 pounds per square inch (psi) through the water softener. Figure 3 shows a flow schematic of the proposed treatment process.

Figure 3. Jennings Well Treatment System Process Flow Schematic It should be noted that sodium hypochlorite should be added only at a location downstream of the RO system. Sodium hypochlorite reacts with soluble manganese to form manganese dioxide. If sodium hypochlorite is added upstream of the treatment processes, the manganese dioxide formed would clog the water softeners and foul the RO membranes. Additionally, the RO membranes are not resistant to chlorine, and the hypochlorite ions would damage the membranes.
Treatment System Conceptual Design
A raw water hydropneumatic tank would be provided to control the well pump independent of the RO feed pump operation, since the pumps have differing capacities. The well pump would be replaced with a higher lift pump that can deliver water into the raw water hydropneumatic tank and would be started and stopped based on the tank pressure. When both the well pump and RO feed pump are running, a portion of the well pump discharge would flow to the RO system (via the water softener), and the remainder would fill the hydropneumatic tank. If the RO feed pump is off, the well pump would just fill the hydropneumatic tank until the well pump is shut off by the tank’s high pressure setpoint.
The proposed water softener system is a dual unit system with a maximum flow-through capacity of 12.9 gpm, each. The water softeners undergo periodic backwash and regeneration and require a drain connection. The dual units would alternate operation to allow continued operation when one unit is in backwash/regeneration mode. The system includes a brine tank that stores the salt and saline solution used for regeneration of the water softener resin.
The proposed packaged RO system includes an RO feed pump, cartridge filter, and five RO modules mounted on a skid. The RO unit has a production capacity of 6.3 gpm and can achieve 75 percent recovery. A single unit can be installed initially, and a second unit could be installed if a higher treatment capacity is needed. Two RO units would be needed to meet the projected average annual demand of 8.4 gpm and maximum monthly demands of 10.6 gpm. Each unit requires a drain connection for the disposal of the concentrate waste stream. The concentrate waste stream will be a continuous flow (when the RO unit is operating) at 2.1 gpm from each unit. #2..

The treatment system design criteria are summarized in Table 4 below. The vendor product data sheets are included in Attachment A.
Figure 4 shows a proposed layout for the equipment that includes space for a second RO unit. The equipment is shown on a concrete pad and under a canopy. The RO unit requires protection from moisture and sunlight so providing a canopy over the treatment equipment is recommended. The height of the canopy should be set to provide at least 45 inches of clearance above the 53-inch tall RO unit for adequate space to service and replace the RO modules.
It is assumed that there is a nearby connection for discharging the softener spent backwash and regeneration water and the RO concentrate. A drain pipeline would be installed to convey the waste streams to the discharge point.

Treatment System Controls
Proposed control strategies for the Jennings Well treatment system are as follows:
• Well Pump Operation: The well pump would be controlled based on the pressure in the raw water hydropneumatic tank. The raw water hydropneumatic tank would be equipped with high pressure, low pressure, and low-low pressure switches. The well pump would automatically turn on when the low-pressure switch is activated and turn off when the high-pressure switch is activated.
• Water Softener Operation: The water softener system is a flow-through process.
The flow rate through the softener would be controlled by the RO feed pump that draws water from the well pump discharge or raw water hydropneumatic tank, through the water softener unit, to the RO unit. The water softeners are equipped with controllers that will automatically alternate operation of the two units; the controller will automatically start backwash/regeneration of the operating unit when it has treated a setpoint volume and will divert flow to the standby unit. • RO Feed Pump Operation: The RO feed pump would be level controlled based on the level in the 5,000-gallon water tank. The 5,000-gallon water tank would be equipped with high level, low level, and low-low level switches. The RO feed pump would automatically turn on when the low-level switch in the 5,000-gallon water tank is activated and turn off when the high-level switch is activated. The RO feed pump would also be interlocked to automatically shut down if the low-low pressure switch in the raw water hydropneumatic tank is activated. The RO feed pump would be operated at a constant speed.
• Sodium Hypochlorite Feed Operation: Sodium hypochlorite is added downstream of the RO unit, before the water enters the 5,000-gallon water tank. Since the RO feed pump will be operated at a constant speed, automatic flow pacing of the sodium hypochlorite feed is not needed; the sodium hypochlorite feed rate can be set to provide the desired dose based on the RO feed pump flow rate and should not require frequent adjustment. However, the sodium hypochlorite metering pump should be started and stopped when the RO feed pump is started and stopped. This can be accomplished using a flow switch or electrical interlock.
In addition to the automatic controls described above, incorporating potable water treatment system alarms into the City’s SCADA system to alert operators of high pressure, overflow, or failed conditions is recommended.
Air Filter for Potable Water Tank
The existing 5,000-gallon water tank has a 3-inch gooseneck vent with a mesh screen. Installation of an air filter on the vent connection is recommended to help mitigate airborne contaminants entering the vent and contaminating the potable water in the tank.
The air filter should be sized to accommodate an air flow capacity equivalent to the maximum inflow/outflow rate from the tank. Although unlikely, it is possible for all three booster pumps to be operated simultaneously at their maximum capacities. Therefore, the air filter should be sized for combined maximum outflow capacity of 295 gpm, or 39.4 cubic feet per minute. #2..

The Donaldson P-BE 0072 housing unit with a P-SRF V 10/30 filter element can be installed on the 3-inch flanged connection at the top of the tank, in place of the existing gooseneck vent. A flange-to-tri-clamp adapter would be needed to attach the housing unit to the tank. Product data sheets for the filter element and housing unit are included in Attachment B. Total material cost for the housing unit, filter element, and adapter is approximately $4,000.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM EVALUATION
West Yost reviewed the capacity of the existing Jennings booster pump station and distribution system to evaluate their ability to serve projected demands. Results from this evaluation are presented in the following sections.
Jennings Booster Pump Station
Currently, the Jennings booster pump station consists of one jockey pump with a nominal capacity of 10 gpm and two larger pumps, each with a nominal capacity of 50 gpm, providing a total capacity of approximately 110 gpm. Given the estimated maximum existing and projected demand flow of 10.6 gpm, as discussed above, the capacity of the booster pump station with only one large pump running is enough to meet anticipated demands.
It is worth noting that during the site walk, City staff reported that the larger 50 gpm pump is used more frequently. It is recommended that the smaller jockey pump be operated prior to the larger 50 gpm pump so that higher energy efficiency is realized at the pump station.
Jennings Distribution System
To evaluate the ability of the distribution system to provide adequate pressures at existing and future demand locations, West Yost developed a spreadsheet hydraulic model to calculate estimated head losses and determine resulting demand location service pressures. Demands in the spreadsheet model were roughly allocated along the different branches and were subsequently scaled such that the overall system demand was 110 gpm, or the total capacity of the existing Jennings booster pump station. This condition, however, is highly unlikely. In addition, it was assumed that the existing non-potable fire system would meet all fire demands in the future; thus, the only peak demand condition evaluation was the overall system demand of 110 gpm.
The Jennings booster pump station is controlled by the hydropneumatic tank and turns on and off to maintain pressures in the hydropneumatic tank between 40 and 60 psi (rated capacity of 45 to 65 psi). Although, the booster pump station develops a 175-foot TDH resulting in a discharge pressure of 75 psi, for the purposes of this evaluation it was assumed that the normal operating pressure of the Jennings distribution system is 50 psi. The analysis was conducted assuming a new 4-inch diameter pipeline was extended to the composting facility (approximately 2,100 linear feet) to serve future projected composting facilities demand.
Based on the results from the spreadsheet hydraulic model, the maximum head loss across the system at a 110 gpm demand condition is estimated to be 6 feet or about a 3 psi pressure drop.
There is an existing in-line backflow preventer serving the tertiary buildings. There is an estimated 14 feet of head loss (6 psi pressure drop) associated at this location. This localized loss is quite large, however pressures downstream of this location are approximately 40 psi. #2..

o\c\418\12-17-46\wp\Jennings Well Eval\022520_1TM
Based on the results of the evaluation, there is sufficient capacity in the distribution system to convey peak flows. It is recommended, however, that the Jennings booster pump station be operated such that the pressure in the hydropneumatic tank be kept at or above 50 psi at all times, to ensure that pressure at the tertiary buildings be maintained above 40 psi.
CONCEPTUAL LEVEL CAPITAL COSTS
The opinion of probable construction cost (OPCC) for the treatment system and pipeline improvements discussed in the previous sections is summarized in Table 5. Costs were developed using budgetary quotes from vendors, cost data from similar projects, and R.S. Means Data Online.
As discussed in the Treatment System Evaluation, the OPCC assumes installation of two RO units and includes connecting the existing system alarms and run status to the WWTP SCADA system.
Costs for connection to the SCADA system were estimated as a percentage of the project cost, and a more detailed investigation will be required during the design phase to confirm costs. As discussed in the Distribution System Evaluation, approximately 2,100 lineal feet of 4-inch diameter pipeline is assumed to be extended to the Composting Facility so that it can be served by the Jennings Well.
These OPCC estimates are presented separately in Table 5 since the pipeline improvements do not improve water quality. The OPCC applies the following taxes and contingencies:
• 7.875 percent sales tax on materials
• 25 percent indirect construction cost contingency (general conditions, contractor overhead and profit)
• 20 percent estimating contingency
It should be noted that costs presented in Table 5 do not include implementation costs associated with preparation of design documents (plans and specifications), engineering services during construction, construction management, or any City incurred costs (CEQA, etc.) to implement the improvements.
The estimated annual O&M cost is summarized in Table 6. The O&M cost was estimated for the new equipment only and is based on the following assumptions:
• Five hours per week of labor to operate and maintain the treatment system. • Labor cost of $60/hour, including benefits.
• Water production 365 days per year to supply average daily demand of 12,100 gpd (or 8.4 gpm).
• Softener regeneration for every 3,500 gallons of water treated. Cost per 45-pound bag of salt is $10.79 and includes delivery and labor to load brine tank. • Cartridge filter replacement four times per year. Material cost per filter is $23. • Replacement of all five RO membrane modules once every five years. Material cost per RO module is $800.
• RO feed pump replacement once every seven years. Pump replacement cost is estimated to be $1,200.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Recommendations from each evaluation are summarized below. As described in the previous sections, the existing well has sufficient capacity to meet existing and projected maximum daily demands. Though water quality from the existing well does not meet all secondary MCLs, it is not expected that modification or complete replacement of the existing well would result in significant improvement to water quality that would not require treatment. Therefore, to meet all secondary MCLs, treatment is recommended, and treatment improvement capital costs are estimated to be $202,000. The O&M of the treatment system is estimated to increase annual operations and maintenance costs by approximately $31,800. Pipeline improvement capital costs to extend water service to the Composting Facility are estimated to be $246,000.
The opinion of probable construction cost for both water quality and pipeline improvements are estimated to be $448,000. As noted above, pipeline improvement capital costs account for 55 percent of the overall improvement cost. Costs associated with the pipeline improvements were provided to inform the City of the overall estimated cost of the recommended project. In addition, it is recommended that the City perform additional water quality testing of Title 22 primary and secondary water quality constituents. Comprehensive water quality testing on the Jennings well was last performed in 2013, and although concentrations are not expected to change much from 2013 conditions, water quality should be confirmed prior to proceeding with detailed design. • Demand Projections: Projected buildout average daily demand is estimated to be 12,000 gpd, or approximately 8.4 gpm. Projected buildout maximum monthly demand is estimated to be 15,300 gpd, or approximately 10.6 gpm. • Groundwater Evaluation: The existing Jennings Well pump capacity is 25 gpm.
Implementation of an RO treatment system results in a waste rate of 25 percent (i.e., 75 percent recovery rate) and the water softener will need periodic backflushing.
These two sources of water loss result in a supply capacity reduction to approximately 17 to 18 gpm. However, even with this reduction of supply capacity, there is still sufficient supply capacity to meet future demands. Modification or replacement of the existing well is not likely to result in significant water quality improvements and is therefore not recommended.
• Treatment Evaluation: The recommended improvements to the potable water treatment system include installation of a new well pump (25 gpm @ 125 feet TDH), a 370-gallon raw water hydropneumatic tank, a dual-softener system, and a packaged RO system upstream of the sodium hypochlorite injection point. The conceptual level opinion of probable construction cost for the treatment system is $202,000, and the annual operating and maintenance cost is estimated to be $31,800. • Distribution System Evaluation: The existing Jennings pump station has sufficient capacity to meet future peak demands. It is recommended, however, that the smaller 10 gpm jockey pump be operated prior to the larger 50 gpm pump so that higher energy efficiency is realized at the pumping station. Overall, the existing distribution system is sufficient to convey future peak flows. The evaluation assumed that approximately 2,100 lineal feet of 4-inch diameter pipeline would be extended to the City’s Composting Facility (replacing the need for trucked water service). #2..

Warranty
Culligan’s HE water softeners are backed by
a limited 1-year warranty against defects,
materials, workmanship, and corrosion. The
Quadra-Hull® media tank has limited lifetime
warranty. See printed warranty for details.†
Some localities have corrosive water. A
softener cannot correct this condition, so
its printed warranty disclaims liability for
corrosion of plumbing lines, fixtures, or waterusing equipment. If you suspect corrosion, your independently operated Culligan® dealer
has equipment to help control the problem.
† See printed warranty for details. Culligan® will provide a copy of the warranty upon request.
*Flow rate are shown per tank.
**Approximate dimension for all models from the wall to front of controller is 20”.
Low flow channeling (flow rates less than 0.5 gallons per minute per cubic foot of resin) may cause hardness leakage into effluent. 1 120 Volt/24 Volt CUL/UL listed Transformer Included.
2 Tank warranty is void if subject to vacuum.

STERILIZE-IN-PLACE (SIP) PROCEDURE
• With SIP, the filter element and housing remain in place and steam is used to sterilize the filtration system without the need for disassembly.
• The steam used for SIP must be free of rust and other particles. • Steam pressure must not be allowed to fall below 15 psig throughout the SIP process. • Condensate must be drained from the system during sterilization. • Any air trapped in the housing must be vented.
• Upstream and downstream pressure gauges must be used to ensure differential pressure across the filter does not exceed 5 psid during SIP.
• After sterilization, pressurize the system with process air or gas up to the steam pressure used and allow the system to cool until ready for use.
• Always use the lowest possible sterilization temperature to avoid excesss stress on the filter element.
AUTOCLAVE
• Generally, only the filter element is sterilized in an autoclave, but both the housing and element can be sterilized if removed from the process, disassembled and put in the autoclave. • In addition to the cycle times given above, follow the specific procedures provided with the autoclave in use.

FROM: Jaylen French, Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: Stanislaus County Airport ATP Project
CONTACT: Nathan Bray, Interim City Engineer, [email protected], 209-571-5542 DESCRIPTION:
Consider various infrastructure improvement options and associated costs for the project development, construction, ownership and operation of the Airport Neighborhood Active Transportation Connectivity and Safety Project (ATP); and consider approving an Agreement for the long-term maintenance of improvements in the City limits between the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: State funds, County Local Measure L funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This action for the Airport ATP Project is consistent with the Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal D, Ensure Safe, Efficient and Reliable Infrastructure. Specifically, this item supports the County’s Airport ATP Project and the City’s goal to expand alternative modes of travel, improve transportation flow, and drive economic vitality.
BACKGROUND:
The Airport Neighborhood is geographically split between the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County. The Airport Neighborhood is considered a disadvantaged community that lacks appropriate pedestrian facilities. Many streets do not have sidewalks leading to unsafe conditions for the many school children and parents who walk in the neighborhood. This project will result in new sidewalks, bikeways, and various safety improvements that contribute toward a safer environment for non-motorized travel.
On July 24, 2018, Stanislaus County applied to the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in request for Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 grants #3..

funds for the Project. As part of the application the City committed to be a partner with the County and agreed to assume the responsibility for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the project improvements located within City limits.
On March 21, 2019, the County was notified that the project was included on the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) 2019 Active Transportation program (ATP) list of awarded projects.
This Stanislaus County led project will be constructed using State of California and local - Measure L funds which will be obtained, collected and administered by the County.
DISCUSSION:
The action before the Committee is to consider project alternatives and associated costs; either allow the installation of non-city standard infrastructure or contribute between $500,000 and $1,000,000 (estimate) in City funds to install the infrastructure per city standards. The project as awarded and funded through the grant only includes construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and would not result in improving the area in accordance with city standards.
The project includes construction of detached sidewalk (with no curb and gutter); Class I, Class III, and Class IV bicycle facilities; 3.5-inch high speed cushion raised bicycle crossings; high visibility sidewalk crosswalk; curb bulb-outs for pedestrian/bicycle crossing; modified City standard Cobra lights for Class I bicycle path; and various other miscellaneous project components as shown in the Project plans.
The City of Modesto has the opportunity to enhance the surrounding area and install missing infrastructure through the application of supplemental City funds. The additional infrastructure and facilities that are anticipated to include curb, gutter, storm drain, water and sewer.
The County is responsible for all phases of project design, and has retained Siegfried Engineering to design project improvements and prepare bid documents. During construction, the City will inspect construction improvements located within City limits. Upon completion of construction, the County will transfer ownership of improvements within City limits to the City.
The City and the County need to enter into an agreement for memorializing the intent of the project, the additional funding (if approved), the maintenance and operation of the facilities, the transfer of ownership of the infrastructure and any additional terms needed for the efficient operation of the project between the two public agencies. Subsequent to the Economic Development Committee’s direction, City staff will prepare/adjust the agreement between the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County to memorialize terms and conditions of the Project, funding sources, transfer of ownership and obligations for maintenance and improvements within City limits.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Airport ATP Project that was applied for is funded by State of California ATP Grant and Local – Measure L funds which are obtained, collected and administered by the County. If the City desires to install improvements in accordance with City Standards, additional City funds would be required to augment the grant and County Measure L funds. The City has explored potential funding options for consideration, which are listed in recommended order: City #3..

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MODESTO AND STANISLAUS COUNTY FOR THE
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION, OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE
AIRPORT NEIGHBORHOOD ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIVITY AND SAFETY
PROJECT
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between the City of Modesto (“City”) and Stanislaus County (“County”) as of ____________, 2022 (“Effective Date”). (The City and County are collectively referred to herein as “The Parties.”)
INTRODUCTION
A. The purpose of this AGREEMENT is to facilitate cooperation between the City and the County for the construction of the Airport Neighborhood Active Transportation Connectivity and Safety Project to improve local connectivity by constructing various pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the vicinity of the Airport Neighborhood within City and County limits (the “Project”); and
B. The Airport Neighborhood is geographically split between the City of Modesto and Stanislaus County. The Airport Neighborhood is considered a disadvantaged community which lacks appropriate pedestrian facilities. Many streets do not have sidewalks leading to unsafe conditions for the many school children and parents who walk in the neighborhood. This project will result in new sidewalks, bikeways, and various safety improvements that contribute toward a safer environment for non-motorized travel. By constructing a series of high-quality active transportation components throughout the Airport Neighborhood, this project will increase access to various local destinations, improve safety, and provide greater regional access through connectivity to major planned bicycle infrastructure, activity centers, and transit stops; and
C. On July 24, 2018, the County applied to the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in request for Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 4 grants funds for the Project. As part of the application the City committed to be a partner with the County and agreed to assume the responsibility for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the project improvements, and; D. On March 21, 2019, the County was notified that the project was included on the California Transportation Commission’s (CTC) 2019 Active Transportation program (ATP) list of awarded projects; and
E. The Project will be constructed using State of California and Local - Measure L funds which will be obtained, collected and administered by the County; and #3..

SUBJECT: Comprehensive General Plan Update – Status Report CONTACT: Brad Wall, MPA, Principal Planner,
[email protected], 209.577.5273
DESCRIPTION:
Consider accepting staff’s report regarding progress and status for the comprehensive General Plan update presentation regarding environmental justice. (Funding Source: General Fund Reserves, Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Grant)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The comprehensive General Plan update (GPU) project promotes and supports the City of Modesto Strategic Plan Goal E – Drive Economic Vitality – and the first strategy under this goal is: “Update the General Plan consistent with city vision.” The new General Plan will establish the foundational policies, general direction and guideposts for Modesto’s economic growth and development, and provide a holistic approach toward enhancing the City’s strengths to capitalize on opportunities from a broad perspective.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto’s prior GPU was adopted in 1995. For some time, City leadership has recognized the need for a new comprehensive update to the General Plan. As stated in the previous section, the GPU is explicitly prioritized in the City’s 2020 – 2025 Strategic Plan.
On August 11, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-335, City Council authorized staff to issue a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for the furnishing of a GPU and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the City. The outcome of that RFP process was the City’s hiring of PlaceWorks to assist staff with preparing the GPU and EIR (Resolution No. 2021-271, July 6, 2021). #4..

Comprehensive General Plan Update – status report
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been working with the PlaceWorks team to assemble data and prepare background documents, such as the GPU Briefing Book and economic background report, which are accessible at the project website (https://gp2050.modestogov.com). The website also includes information regarding public input and participation, such as surveys and sign-ups to receive notifications about upcoming workshops / events, milestones and project updates. Additional project documentation such as public review draft documents will also be posted to the website as they are developed.
The first public workshop events for the GPU project occurred on March 24 (virtual workshop) and March 30 (in-person workshop). Staff will summarize these workshops’ discussions, feedback / input received, and lessons learned or “takeaways” during the EDC presentation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Council Resolution No. 2021-271 authorized a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks in an amount not to exceed $1,737,353. There is no fiscal impact associated with this status report.
CEQA REQUIREMENTS:
An EIR will be prepared for the Comprehensive GPU project, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act. The EIR is included in PlaceWorks scope of work and budget, and it will be prepared for public review and comment in early 2024.

CONTACT: Jessica Hill, Community Development Manager,
209-577-5211
DESCRIPTION:
Consider amending the City’s Community Facilities Districts Policies and Procedures, authorizing the City Council to establish inter-fund loans from the General Fund up to $450,000 for the formation of future City Community Facilities Districts and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Goal D to provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
In 1982, the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the Act) was adopted by the State of California as a method for financing capital facilities (infrastructure improvements) and/or public services associated with new developments. The Act allows infrastructure improvements and services to be funded through a special tax paid by property owners. Community Facilities Districts (CFD) laws are found in the Act in the California Government Code, beginning at Section 53311.
Mello-Roos CFDs are formed to finance the construction, or acquisition of certain designated capital facilities (infrastructure) and/or to finance public services by levying special taxes included on the CFD. To date, there are fifteen CFDs in the City of Modesto, with several others in the works. Some finance infrastructure and others finance maintenance services. #5..

Economic Development Committee, April 4, 2022
Community Facilities District Formation Cost
The City considers both developer or property-owner initiated applications requesting the formation of a CFD. Once formed, a special tax is collected on properties within the CFD to finance eligible public facilities necessary to serve residential, commercial and/or industrial projects. CFDs may also issue bonds to pay for large capital projects, and those bonds are repaid using the revenue from the annual tax.
For a typical CFD, the formation process is three separate but related proceedings. They can be combined to run concurrently. They are proceedings to:
Form the CFD and authorize the special tax;
Authorize bonded indebtedness for the CFD; and
Establish the Constitutional Article XIIIB “Appropriations Limit” for the CFD.
All City and consultant costs incurred in the evaluation of CFD applications and the creation of CFDs must be paid in advance by the applicants in those instances where a CFD is initiated by a party or parties other than the City. Expenses not legally reimbursable by the district shall be borne by the applicant. Once bonds are issued, bond proceeds may be used to reimburse the applicant for both the City costs and district consultant costs that the applicant paid for in advance.
DISCUSSION:
Adopted in 1996, the City’s created policies and procedures for Formation, Annexation, and Administration of Community Facilities Districts pursuant to the provisions of the Act (CFD Policies and Procedures).
Per the City’s CFD Policies and Procedures, it is determined that the developer must make a deposit of $64,500 to initiate the formation of a new CFD. The advance deposits cover staff’s time, consultant and legal costs, as well as other costs associated with the CFD formation.
When a CFD is formed, it can be formed different ways to cover many different facilities. In a CFD where infrastructure is covered, the developer can decide to distribute the costs through a pay-as-you-go fee, or seek in partnership with the City for an issuance of bonds for the generation of revenues to finance eligible public facilities. If there are no bonds issued, the CFD formation costs are paid by the developer. If there are bonds issued, bond proceeds may be used to reimburse the developer for the advanced payment of the CFD formation costs.
In the last 24 months, staff has seen an unprecedented increase in developer and development inquiries, all of which require CFD formation or annexation. In the case of a CFD formation, especially when the CFD will contain property owned by multiple landowners, being the “first one in”, and therefore having the obligation of advancing a deposit of $64,500, can cause developers to delay submitting applications.
In order to assist with development within the city, staff is proposing to allow the City Council to approve inter-fund loans from the General Fund for CFDs that will pursue bond financing. Staff anticipates these costs will not exceed $150,000 per CFD formation and is proposing a total loan amount of $450,000 to assist with future CFD formations. The City will be reimbursed for all formation costs at the time that the CFD bond is issued. However, if the CFD is not formed and/or bonds are not issued, the City’s General Fund loan would not be repaid. Submission of an application by a developer does not guarantee that a CFD will be approved by the effected #5..

Economic Development Committee, April 4, 2022
Community Facilities District Formation Cost
land owners. However, because failure to form the CFD and issue the bonds will prevent development from proceeding, staff considers this outcome unlikely.
Staff has reviewed and updated the City’s CFD Policies and Procedures to reflect the proposed recommendations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional $450,000 in CFD loans from the General Fund will be over a period of time and the loans will be funded from General Fund reserves. The loan amounts will be funded for each CFD formation separately and the total $450,000 will be over a period of time and not in one lump sum amount. When bonds are issued, the bond proceeds will pay back the General Fund.
Inter-fund loans that are established will have a repayment deadline that reflects the earliest feasible opportunity for repayment of the loan. Interest rates will be charged on the loan based on the actual rate of return earned by the City’s investment portfolio during the 12-month period immediately preceding a payment date. However, if the CFD is not formed and/or bonds are not issued, the City’s General Fund loan would not be repaid.

CITY OF MODESTO
POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOR THE FORMATION, ANNEXATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS CREATED PURSUANT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF THE MELLO-ROOS COMMUNITY FACILITIES ACT OF 1982 1) Introduction.
The following policies and procedures (“Policies and Procedures”) for the use of the MelloRoos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the “Act”) are established pursuant to Government Code Section 53312.7. These Policies and Procedures describe the application, formation, annexation, appropriate uses for and administration of any Community Facilities District (“CFD”) used to finance facilities or for the provision of allowable services.
The City of Modesto (the “City”) will consider developer or property-owner initiated applications requesting the formation of a CFD, and the possible issuance of bonds or the generation of revenues to finance eligible public facilities necessary to serve residential, commercial and/or industrial projects. The City may also establish CFDs which are initiated by the City.
Priority in using CFD funding will be given to capital projects that are regional in nature and have the broadest possible benefit to the land uses included in the CFD. While it is the City’s intent to use the Act to provide for the financing of City-owned and operated infrastructure and services, projects of a regional nature may include facilities to be owned and operated by other public agencies. In any event, only regional or community serving public facilities which directly benefit the CFD, and the provision of services (if applicable) may be eligible for CFD funding.
The City shall make the final determination as to whether or not a proposed CFD shall proceed under the provisions of the Act. The City may confer with the applicant and its consultants to learn of any unique district requirements, such as regional-serving facilities or long term development phasing prior to making any such final determination.
The Act may be used for the purchase, construction, expansion, rehabilitation, or acquisition of public improvements, or the provision of public services subject to the provisions of these Policies and Procedures and any subsequent amendments thereto, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act. The City shall use the Act to provide for the financing of City-owned and operated infrastructure and services, except as noted above.
The City will make the final determination whether or not the CFD will be a construction or acquisition district. All City and consultant costs incurred in the evaluation of CFD applications and the creation of CFDs must be paid in advance by the applicants in those instances where a CFD is initiated by a party or parties other than the City. However, the City may incur expenses for analyzing proposed districts where the City is the principal proponent of the CFD formation for financing of the CFD.
Expenses not legally reimbursable by the district shall be borne by the applicant. Both City costs and district consultant costs may be funded from bond proceeds. #5..

(6)(5) In the event that a "registered voter" election is both required and results in the nonformation/nonannexation of the subject CFD, the above-referenced fees and costs will not be refundable to the applicant save and except those amounts advanced by the applicant which are in excess of those obligated for the CFD Formation Group formation/annexation costs, consulting fees and other related expenses.
u) Resolution of Intention. When a CFD application and all related documents have been completed, the appropriate fee has been paid, and the CFD Formation Group has agreed to place the matter of the formation/annexation of the pertinent CFD before the City Council, the vehicle for such placement shall be the "Resolution of Intention" as required by the Act.
The City Council vote on the Resolution of Intention shall also be the City's final determination on the application. If the Resolution of Intention is approved, the CFD Formation Group will undertake the necessary steps to complete formation/annexation of the CFD, including, but not limited to, completion of appropriate contracts, legal documentation, bond documents, project schedule, and other pertinent items. v) Fiscal Year Planning. In the event that the fiscal year in which a CFD is commenced ends during the formation of the CFD, the Finance Department of the City shall carry forward any unused CFD funds to the next fiscal year in order to facilitate a smoothly continuous CFD formation/annexation process, and to permit prompt payment of ongoing expenditures.
w) Fiscal Authority. The CFD Formation Group has the inherent authority to receive and to appropriate CFD revenue and to direct the Finance Department of the City of Modesto to establish a new fund for each new CFD formation/annexation. 4) Terms and Conditions of Bonds.
a) All terms and conditions of bonds shall be established by the City. The City will control, manage and invest all CFD issued bond proceeds. Unless otherwise authorized by the City, the following shall serve as bond requirements:
(1) A debt service reserve fund equal to an amount not less than ten (10%) percent of the bond issue's par value, subject to federal tax regulations will be established. (2) The special taxes shall be levied for the first fiscal year following sale of the bonds for which they may be levied. Unless otherwise agreed to by the City, interest shall not be funded (capitalized) beyond the earliest interest payment date for which sufficient special tax revenues will be available for payment of interest. (3) Beginning with the commencement of the repayment of principal, annual debt service may be level or may escalate up to a maximum of two (2%) percent per year. #5..
- 135 -
Amended: X-X-22
(4) The maximum special tax shall be established to assure that the annual revenue produced by levy of the maximum special tax shall be equal to at least one hundred ten (110%) percent of the average annual debt service.
(5) The initial maximum annual administration requirement shall be no more than two (2%) percent of the par amount of the bonds but may escalate up to a maximum of two (2%) percent per year.
(6) Prior to the issuance of bonds, the City shall authorize its Bond Counsel to commence and process to final judgment an action establishing the validity of the proceedings, special tax and issuance of bonds, unless advised to the contrary by such Bond Counsel.
(7) In instances where multiple series of bonds are to be issued, the City shall make a final determination as to which public facilities are of the highest priority and those public facilities which will be financed first, pursuant to funding availability and the proposed timing of facilities development, and will be subject to the earliest or most senior lien except, when concerning land-secured financings if the City and applicant agree separately.
(8) The City may require that each new CFD bond issue refund any prior issues, if they exist on properties included in the CFD, in order to avoid subordinated liens.
Instances where prior issues may not require refunding are:
(a) Where refunding of prior issues will result in higher interest costs; (b) Where there can be assurance that prior liens may pose no marketing problems for the new CFD bonds; or
(c) Where refunding of prior issues may present future administrative difficulties to the City or other affected public entities.
b) Security and Credit Enhancement.
(1) Financial Plan. Prior to City Council approval of the CFD, the applicant must submit a financial plan which demonstrates to the City’s satisfaction the applicant’s ability to pay all assessments and/or special taxes through build out of the project. (2) Credit Enhancement. In general, where credit enhancement is required for the bond issue as a whole, in the opinion of the City, the applicant shall provide such enhancement in such form as is approved by the City and the underwriters. Such enhancement may, for example, be required in cases where the value-to-lien ratio for property within the CFD is sufficient, and may take the form of letter of credit, policies of insurance, or other vehicles.
(3) Letter of Credit Requirements. In general, the following requirements apply to letters of credit.
#5..
- 136 -
Amended: X-X-22
(a) The term shall be at least one (1) year, with automatic renewal unless canceled in writing by City.
(b) The amount the applicant is required to post shall be determined by the City. (c) The letter of credit must be posted with the City in final form, properly authorized and executed, prior to Council authorization to issue bonds for the CFD. Irrevocable credit commitments, commitment letters, in-lieu letter of credit guarantee forms, or other similar instruments, will not be accepted. (d) The letter of credit shall be irrevocable, and issued for the benefit of the City. (e) The issuer of any Letter of Credit or other credit enhancement shall be a bank legally operating within the State of California, and which has a Thompson Bank Watch rating of “C” or higher, or an equivalent rating by any other nationally recognized financial institution rating agency, and whose letters of credit are deemed marketable by the City for public financing purposes. (f) The City reserves the right to consider other forms of credit enhancement or bond guarantee which are determined by the City, in its sole discretion, to be a lawful and adequate substitute for a letter of credit.
c) Value-to-Lien Ratios.
(1) If the value-to-lien ratio is 3:1 or greater for the entire CFD and if there is a value-tolien ratio of 3:1 on at least ninety (90%) percent of vacant land in the CFD, the City may not require letters of credit or other security to secure payment of the special taxes to be levied annually on properties within the CFD. (2) If the value-to-lien ratio is less than 3:1 for the CFD as a whole or on at least ninety (90%) percent of vacant land in the CFD, the City may require either letters of credit or other security (assigned deposits, deposits to escrow) to secure payment of the special taxes/special assessments on properties within the CFD or may elect to abandon the CFD.
d) Market Absorption Study. The City in its discretion may require and may employ a consultant for the purpose of conducting a market absorption study. The study, if required, shall include and estimate the total number of units, land uses and rate of absorption, and will be used as a basis for verification that sufficient revenues can be generated, and to determine if the financing of the infrastructure and public facilities is appropriate given the projected level and pace of development.
e) Disclosure Requirements. The applicant shall be responsible for compliance with all applicable federal and state statutory disclosure requirements, as well as any additional City requirements, in transactions with purchasers of properties with the CFD. #5..
- 137 -
Amended: X-X-22
f) Continuing Disclosure. The developer will comply with federal and State securities laws and SEC Rule 15c 2-12 requirements concerning secondary market disclosure as those requirements are interpreted by the City and its counsel. g) Refunding. The City will analyze outstanding bond issues for refunding opportunities. In addition, the City will accept refunding proposals from underwriting firms and financial advisors which the City will then analyze and verify. The City will refund outstanding bond issues if:
(1) The refunding will generate at least five (5%) percent net present value savings; or (2) There is another reason the City determines is compelling enough to complete a refunding (e.g. for the purpose of changing onerous legal requirements in a previous bond indenture or resolution).
h) Credit Quality to be Required of Bond Issues.
(1) Debt Service. Except for commercial or industrial property financings with no residential components, debt service shall be substantially level throughout the life of the bond issue or shall escalate at a rate generally not greater than two (2%) percent per year. Phased bond issuance shall not result in increased debt service to existing residential homeowners. Unless determined to be specifically required, debt service shall not exceed thirty (30 years) from the date of bond issuance. (2) Bond Redemptions. Maximum redemption premiums shall not exceed three percent (3%). Call protection provisions shall not exceed ten (10) years and no provision shall be made to restrict the ability of the City to refund any bond issue.
Consideration shall be given to allowing redemption of bonds at par (without premium) with surplus construction funds, or from the prepayment of the special tax. Provision shall be made to allow the City to purchase bonds on the open market at par plus accrued interest, in lieu of redemption of bonds. (3) Reserve Funds. A reserve fund shall be required (unless specifically exempted for cause) for every land-secured financing. The City will consider the substitution of other security, such as a letter of credit, for monies in the reserve fund. The reserve fund will be sized by the City with the advice of the financing team, and, for taxexempt financings, will not exceed the maximum prescribed by applicable federal tax law. Reserve fund earnings beyond maximum reserve fund size should be used to credit debt service and may be used to pay applicable rebate obligations under federal tax law. (The City may also determine to permit such reserve fund earnings to be transferred to the construction fund until the project is completed.) (4) Capitalized Interest. The City, with the advice of the financing team, will determine, on a case by case basis, the amount of capitalized interest for a particular financing. The amount of such interest will be determined based on factors such as the length of the construction period, the earliest date upon which tax roll collection may commence and the amount such interest will add to the total amount of the #5..

Amended: X-X-22
financing, taking into account the restrictions on value to lien expressed herein, the ability of the owner(s) to defray the debt service, and applicable provisions of the Act.
(5) Foreclosure Covenants. Every land-secured financing bond issuance document shall provide for the judicial foreclosure of delinquent payments of assessments or special taxes. Such covenants may vary with the particular financings, but shall at the minimum generally provide for the institution of foreclosure not more than 150 days from April 10 of a calendar year and shall authorize the City Attorney or delegate thereof to commence foreclosure without further Council action upon notification of a delinquency. Provision may be made to allow deferral of foreclosure in the event the City advances funds to the reserve fund to maintain any specific reserve requirement.
(6) Discounts. In competitive bond sales, the amount of discount shall be determined by the City with the advice of its financial advisor. In negotiated sales, it shall be the burden on the underwriter to justify its discount as competitive and such justification must take into account any other compensation being paid to the underwriter.
Original issue discount will be allowed if it results in a lower true interest cost and will not adversely affect the ability to construct the public improvements. i) Information to Property Owners.
(1) Prospective Purchasers. The Director of Finance, or his/her designee shall be responsible for providing notice of special tax to prospective property owners pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the Act and, upon request of an applicant, or its agent or representative, information in order for such applicant, agent or representative to comply with Section 53341.5 of the Act.The Director of Finance shall be responsible for providing notice of special tax to prospective property owners pursuant to Section 53340.2 of the Act and, upon request of an applicant, or its agent or representative, information in order for such applicant, agent or representative to comply with Section 53341.5 of the Act. (1)
(2)
(3)(2) Existing Lenders. The City may require the consent of the existing deed of trust holders in any CFD to be formed by landowner (rather than registered voter) approval.
j) Criteria for Evaluating the Equity of the Special Tax Formula.
The proposed rate and method of apportionment shall comply with the following criteria:
(1) The rate and method of apportionment generally shall not provide for an annual increase in the maximum special tax for any classification. However, under limited circumstances an increase in the maximum special tax will be permitted, not to exceed two percent (2%) annually. As a general rule, escalation of the maximum annual special tax will be allowed when bonds are to be sold in several series over an #5..
- 139 -
Amended: X-X-22
extended period of time.
(2) The total projected annual special tax revenues, less estimated annual administrative expenses, must exceed the projected annual gross debt service on the bonds by ten percent (10%). In structuring the special tax, projected annual interest earnings at current passbook savings rates on bond reserve funds may also be included as revenue for the purpose of this calculation. Reserve fund interest earnings credit in excess of the foregoing will only be permitted if an investment agreement, satisfactory to the City, is secured at the time any bonds are sold and delivered. (3) The projected annual tax revenues shall include reasonable annual administrative expenses and other direct costs to the CFD.
(4) All property not otherwise statutorily exempted or owned (or to be owned) by a public entity shall bear its appropriate share of the special tax liability. (5) The special tax shall be allocated and apportioned on the basis of reasonableness to all categories and classes of property receiving general or specific benefit within the CFD.
(6) A formula to prepay the special tax shall be considered. (7) The projected ad valorem property tax and other direct and overlapping debt for the proposed CFD (including estimated CFD charges, projected benefit assessments, levies for authorized but unissued debt and any other anticipated municipal charges which may be included on a property owner's annual tax bill), including the proposed maximum special tax, should not exceed two percent (2%) of the anticipated assessed value of each improved parcel upon completion of the public and private improvements. Any deviations from the foregoing will not be permitted unless specifically recommended by the CFD Formation Group and approved by the City Council.
(8) The special tax formula shall be structured to produce sufficient annual special tax revenue to pay annual debt service, administrative expenses, and "pay as you go" programs funded by the CFD special tax. To the extent a special tax is to be levied to pay for services, it should be separate from the special tax to pay for facilities. (9) The special tax formula shall be such that once the total special tax need is known, and the status of all properties within the CFD relative to that formula are known, the special tax on each parcel is determined purely by the application of the formula without the exercise of discretion on the part of any person. k) Criteria for the Sale of Bonds.
In order to ensure the long-term security of any bonds sold as the result of the formation of a CFD, the following policies shall be followed:
#5..
- 140 -
Amended: X-X-22
(1) The ratio of the appraised value of the land to the value of the proposed bond issue, and any other overlapping debt, shall not be lower than 3-to-1 unless authorized by the City Council with specific findings in accordance with the Act. (2) Market absorption studies may be required at the City's discretion to determine if the financing of the infrastructure and public facilities is appropriate given the projected level and pace of development. The study may also be required by the appraiser for use in the appraisal process. The City will employ any market-absorption consultant. (3) All terms and conditions for the sale of bonds shall be established by the City. l) Continuing Disclosure. By being allowed to participate for a Mello-Roos proceeding, each owner of land therein must be willing to provide information deemed by the City and its financing team to be needed in order for the City and the underwriter to comply with applicable Federal and State securities laws, including continuing disclosure requirements imposed by S.E.C. Rule 15c 2-12.
m) The Appraisal Process. Appraisals undertaken to establish value-to-lien ratios for landsecured financings can be complex, requiring the appraiser to interpret the significance of various financial and demographic data. Because an appraisal essentially is an appraiser’s opinion of value, the City requires that the appraiser be qualified to render this opinion. (1) Credentials. The appraiser will be credentialed by the State of California Office of Real Estate Appraisers and be a member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) or have similar training, experience and qualifications.
(2) Independence. The appraiser will be an independent contractor retained by the public agency, rather than a land owner/developer.
n) The Appraisal Problem. The appraiser will begin each assignment by defining the appraisal problem - that is, succinctly stating the objective of the appraisal. The statement of the appraisal problem will identify (1) the property rights to be valued, (2) the operative definition of value, and (3) the date of the value estimate. (1) Property Rights to be Valued. Appraisals undertaken to establish value-to-lien ratios in CFDs and assessment districts will value the fee simple estate within the established district and subject to the special tax or assessment lien. (2) Definition of Value. Appraisal undertaken to establish value-to-lien ratios in CFDs and assessment districts will estimate the market value of the subject property. The market value estimate will be the bulk sale value for all vacant properties - both unimproved properties and improved or partially improved but unoccupied properties. The bulk land value will include the property within the district as it is currently entitled with all appropriate zoning and in its current state of development, the value of the improvements to be financed with the proposed bond issue, if any, and the value of other improvements to be financed with any other cash escrow or security whose cash value is entirely controlled by the City. Paragraph O, which #5..
- 141 -
Amended: X-X-22
follows, provides those valuation methods the City will allow an appraiser to use to estimate the bulk sale value.
(3) Date of the Value Estimate. The date of the value estimate should clearly be identified in the appraisal report. The period between the date of the appraisal and the financing should be no more than four months, to accurately represent land values to prospective investors.
o) Valuation Methods. The first three valuation methods discussed below - the Sales Comparison Approach to Value, the Cost Approach to Value, and the Income Capitalization Approach to Value - form the core of modern real estate appraisal practices. These valuation methods are appropriate for conventional appraisal assignments involving improved real property, but are less well-suited to the valuation of unimproved land.
Appraisals of unimproved CFDs and assessment districts will additionally employ a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis based upon the bulk land value of the property appraised, the fourth valuation method discussed in this section. This section concludes with a brief discussion of Mass Appraisal techniques and an assessed value approach alternative. An appraisal may include more than one appraisal method, depending on the status of the project.
(1) Sales Comparison Approach to Value. The Sales Comparison Approach to Value offers the best indication of the market value of the subject property, because it is based on actual sales data. This methodology is appropriate for most improved properties, but the absence of comparable sales data usually constrains its application to appraisals of unimproved CFDs and assessment districts. The Sales Comparison approach, however, provides the analytical basis for estimating a future retail value of presently unimproved properties which may be incorporated into a Discounted Cash Flow analysis.
(2) Cost Approach to Value. The Cost Approach to Value is not appropriate for appraisals undertaken to establish value-to-lien ratios in CFDs and assessment districts. Cost does not create value. The Cost Approach may be useful, however, for adjusting for physical differences between properties under the Sales Comparison Approach. Sales Comparison appraisals can be adjusted to reflect infrastructure differences between different projects.
(3) Income Capitalization Approach to Value. The Income Capitalization Approach to Value is appropriate for retail value calculations of income-producing properties.
It also may be appropriate for estimating the future retail values of incomeproducing properties for use in a Discounted Cash Flow analysis. (4) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis is appropriate for bulk sale valuations of unimproved properties and improved or partially improved but unoccupied properties. Discounted Cash Flow valuations should rely on an absorption study to estimate how quickly properties can be developed and sold or leased to end users. The expense of converting raw land to finished product or improved lots must be deducted from gross cash flow to derive net cash flow #5..
