CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 16, 2026
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement with GHD Inc., (GHD) of Irvine, California, to provide on-call design services for the 1348 Pressure Zone Water Transmission Main Improvement Project in the amount of $1,393,699 for a new total revised not-to-exceed amount of $1,993,669, and a term of June 4, 2024 to May 30, 2029.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: Proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Design Services Agreement with GHD for professional engineering design services for the 1348 Pressure Zone Water Transmission Main Improvement Project increases the Agreement by $1,393,699 for a new total revised not-to-exceed amount of $1,993,669.
The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget includes $1,000,000 in appropriations from the Water Capital Fund for professional engineering design services. If approved, additional appropriations will be included in future quarterly budget updates to City Council for approval as needed. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City’s Water Master Plan identified approximately 23,300 linear feet (LF) of 12-inch to 18-inch potable water transmission mains within the 1348 Pressure Zone (1348 PZ) that are approaching or have exceeded their anticipated service life and recommends their replacement. The transmission mains are located along Euclid Ave, Campus Ave, Foothill Blvd, and 8th St within the City of Upland (see Exhibit A). These transmission mains serve as the 373
backbone infrastructure to convey water from the City’s 13th Street 1348 PZ Reservoirs, located in the City of Upland, to Ontario customers.
The design consultant will evaluate the existing system and propose an appropriate construction phasing sequence to remove and replace the transmission mains while maintaining continuous water supply for the 1348 PZ, coordinating with public and private utility agencies, and analyzing right-of-way constraints to minimize impacts during construction. The scope of work includes preparation of a Preliminary Design Report, including an alternative Alignment Study, utility research and potholing, geotechnical investigations, preparation of plans and specifications for up to four bid packages, permitting, grant research and application, and bid phase support services for the first bid package. Environmental review will be conducted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
On June 4, 2024, the City Council awarded On-Call Design Services Agreements with GHD and four other consultants. GHD and the other consultants were selected using a qualifications based selection process. The agreements were awarded as three-year agreements with two additional one-year periods consistent with Council approved budgets. As projects arise, Staff will request proposals from the consultants and amend the original agreement with revised scopes of work and costs.
On February 9, 2025, Staff solicited proposals from these on-call consultants for engineering design services for the Project. On March 17, 2026, the City received the following four (4) qualified proposals in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Project:
Firm Location
Albert A Webb Associates Riverside, CA
Ardurra Group, Inc. Newport Beach, CA
GHD Inc. Irvine, CA
TKE Engineering, Inc. Riverside, CA
Staff has reviewed the proposals and recommends GHD based upon their understanding of the project scope, the City’s needs, and criteria specified in the RFP, including the firms’ understanding of the project, technical approach, relevant experience, qualifications of the proposed project team, fee proposal, and references.

City of Ontario
1425 S Bon View Avenue
Ontario, CA
Attn: Thomas Palmieri, Project Manager
RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Design Services for 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission Main Improvements for Euclid Avenue, Campus Avenue, Foothill Blvd, and 8th Street (UT1095) Dear Mr. Palmieri and Members of the Selection Committee:
GHD Inc. (GHD) is pleased to submit our proposal for the 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission Main Improvements
Project (1348 PZ project). We appreciate the opportunity to support the City of Ontario (City) in providing
reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable water services by addressing reduced system operational control and
reliability issues found in aging transmission mains. These issues now represent a system-level concern that requires coordinated replacement of the transmission mains,
valves, and upgrading critical water infrastructure for the City and its regional water partners.
The City of Ontario also continues to experience
growth that places increasing demands on the reliability, flexibility, and resiliency of its potable water transmission system. The 1348 PZ project is a targeted investment to address known deficiencies in aging water transmission
mains, valves, and appurtenances that currently limit
hydraulic performance, system isolation, and maintenance capabilities.
The project restores operational control and replaces
approximately 20,000 linear feet of transmission mains
serving the 1348 Pressure Zone, many of which date
back to the late 1940s and have experienced leaks,
valve failures, and reduced operability. These mains
primarily run along Campus Avenue, Foothill Boulevard,
Euclid Avenue, and 8th Street within the City of Upland.
Transmission main 'rip and replacement' within these
roadways is the basis of GHD’s proposal. An alternative alignment analysis to review available spacing in these roads is included that provides two outlet directions from the 1348 Reservoir to improve redundancy, reliability,
and hydraulics and extends along 5th and 3rd Avenues
following minor roads.
The 1348 PZ is supported by three reservoirs that are
assumed to operate as one – the 1348 Reservoir with a
combined storage volume of 8.75 million gallons, which
is sufficient to meet projected ultimate demands and
fire flow per the 2012 Master Plan. A Kick-off Meeting
Workshop with Ontario staff will discuss 2025 Water
Master Plan updates, 1348 and 1212 and pressure
zone operations, existing valves, hydraulics and use
of the City's calibrated hydraulic model, existing WFA
turnout and Upland emergency connections, 1348
PZ operational requirements during construction,
construction sequencing, and additional Ontario needs
in the area. Valve conditions, operational constraints, and inconsistencies in record drawings will be discussed to validate existing conditions and operating strategies Why GHD?
9 Operations focused to improve water
system control, reliability, and safety.
9 Phasing flexibility to adjust to dynamic
City needs.
9 Routinely delivers successful, highprofile linear infrastructure projects. 9 Proven construction sequence success

01 Executive Summary
GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 1 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 383
during construction, including early restoration of
operational control. An Early Work mechanical contract
will identify critical valves needed to improve operations and facilitate construction and project phasing.
Prompt coordination will be provided to understand and
address Ontario, City of Upland, and Water Facilities
Authority (WFA) operational and capital considerations
affecting the project. GHD will leverage established
working relationships with the City, Inland Empire Utilities Authority (IEUA), DDW, Southern California Edison
(SCE), the Water Facilities Authority (WFA), and the
City of Upland to support efficient coordination, timely agency engagement, and responsive issue resolution
throughout design and implementation. The proposed
approach emphasizes early confirmation of design
criteria, proactive identification of utility and permitting constraints, development of implementable replacement
phases that minimize transmission interruptions, traffic impacts, and community disruption.
→ Early Improvement of Operational
Control
Improving operational control at the outset is a central element of the Early Work mechanical contract in Phase
1 for the 1348 PZ Project and is critical to its successful implementation. By prioritizing early installation of new valves, line stops, and targeted specialty mechanical
improvements, the City gains immediate and reliable
isolation capability across the pressure zone. This early investment reduces operational risk, restores flexibility for maintenance and emergency response, and establishes
the foundation needed to safely phase construction,
maintain continuous service, and adjust project
sequencing as conditions evolve.
To maintain continuous service throughout construction, the basis of GHD's proposal is a phased 'rip and
replace' strategy supported by early improvements
to system operational control. Subsequent phases
replace transmission mains in logical segments
down Campus, Foothill, 8th Street, and Euclid that
align with project goals, City budget considerations
and anticipated roadway and stormwater projects
planned by the City of Upland. Where beneficial,
trenchless construction methods such as jack and
bore will be used to reduce surface disruption,
manage utility conflicts, and address railroad
crossings.
→ Phasing Flexibility and
Adaptive Implementation
The 1348 PZ Project is intentionally structured
with a high degree of phasing flexibility to allow
the City to adapt sequencing, limits of work, and
timing in response to operational needs, budget
constraints, and coordination with adjacent agency
projects. Early improvements to system operational
control—through targeted valve installations, line
stops, and specialty mechanical work—provide the
foundation for adjusting phase boundaries, isolating
variable lengths of transmission main, and advancing or deferring individual segments as conditions evolve. This flexible framework enables the City to align construction with planned roadway and stormwater improvements,
incorporate findings from optional nondestructive testing or inspection of existing piping where new valves are
cut-in,, and respond to unforeseen conditions without
compromising system reliability or service continuity. As a result, the City retains maximum control over project implementation while maintaining a clear, logical path to full transmission main replacement and long term system resiliency.
→ Lifecycle Value and Cost Savings
Optional Nondestructive testing (NDT) or inspection
of existing pipe at new valve cut-ins and corrosion
evaluation are used to maximize lifecycle value and
avoid unnecessary capital costs by better understanding the condition and remaining service life of existing
transmission mains. Targeted testing allows the City to prioritize replacements based on risk and consequence,
reducing premature pipe replacement while minimizing
the likelihood of unplanned failures. Evaluation of
corrosion potential and cathodic protection needs
further protects new investments, lowering long term
maintenance costs and extending asset life. Together,
these measures support informed, cost effective decision making and reduce total lifecycle costs for the 1348 PZ system. This information may influence phasing, alignment decisions, and the extent of replacement.
Additional improvements, including checking existing pipe thickness where new valves are installed in the Early Work GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 2 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 384
Package, emergency interconnections, and optional reservoir piping consolidation, structural reservoir repairs, cathodic protection, and recommended Master Plan improvements in the area can be incorporated to further enhance system resiliency and operational efficiency.
GHD will deliver the 1348 PZ Project using a practical, methodical, and constructability driven approach informed by extensive experience delivering comparable water infrastructure projects for the City of Ontario. This includes recent work on the Well 50 transmission main improvements and the Well 37 and 39 Ion Exchange Treatment Facilities and associated off site piping, which required close coordination with City operations staff, staged construction, and compliance with State Water Resources Control Board – Division of Drinking Water (DDW) requirements in constrained urban corridors.
Our full-service engineering team includes water professionals that bring unique insight into the City's operational goals to improve system reliability and flow transmission. We recognize the criticality of these transmission mains and finding the best phased strategy to improve operations while maintaining full service. GHD is proud to offer a creative approach to working with the City and it's partners in selecting the best comprehensive solution. → A Practical and Defensible Implementation Strategy
GHD brings a disciplined, constructability driven approach to planning and delivering the 1348 PZ Project. Our method emphasizes early confirmation of system operations, phased transmission main replacement, and alignment selection that minimizes utility conflicts, right of way impacts, and community disruption while maintaining continuous water service.
→ Proven Experience Delivering Complex Water Infrastructure Our local Southern California team is supported by GHD’s global water infrastructure expertise and has successfully delivered comparable potable water transmission, reservoir, and treatment projects in constrained urban environments.
We are experienced in coordinating with City operations staff, WFA, the City of Upland, regulatory agencies, and utility owners to deliver reliable, implementable solutions.
→ Experienced Leadership Focused on Early Risk Reduction The project will be led by seasoned project management and technical staff with demonstrated success improving operational control, sequencing phased construction, and advancing constructible designs. This leadership supports early decisions that are robust, flexible, and aligned with the City’s operational priorities, budget considerations, and long term system goals.
→ Commitment to Ontario’s Long Term Water System Resiliency GHD is committed to delivering a phased, flexible, and cost effective solution that restores system reliability, reduces operational risk, and maximizes lifecycle value. Our approach supports informed capital investment, protects new infrastructure, and positions the City to meet future demands while maintaining service continuity and public confidence.
Through early risk identification, focused technical evaluation, and constructability driven design, GHD will deliver a reliable, defensible, and implementable solution that improves isolation capability, restores hydraulic capacity, and enhances long term operational flexibility. The proposed approach fully responds to the UT1095 RFP requirements and supports the City of Ontario’s long term water system goals while maintaining service continuity and minimizing impacts to the surrounding community.

→ Method to Accomplish
the Work
3 391
GHD’s technical and managerial approach is clientfocused, client-driven and we understand the City’s main objective is to remove and replace approximately 20,000 lineal feet (LF) of water transmission mains serving the 1348 PZ that were constructed as far back as 1948 and
have been prone to leaks and valve repairs. Concern for further damage and losing the means to convey water
through the 1348 PZ has led the City to stop routine
valve maintenance. These transmission mains primarily
run along Campus and Euclid Avenues, Foothill Boulevard, and 8th Street located within the City of Upland.
GHD has walked the project area, identified challenging utility, road, and rail crossings, and initiated review of available and relevant background information including the City’s 2012 Water Master Plan, the OMUC Water
Atlas, record drawings from the City, Upland, and the
Water Facilities Authority (WFA), Euclid Avenue water
improvements in Caltrans ROW, atlas mapping of SBCFCD
stormwater and Pacific Electric Trail facilities, Metrolink, BNSF rail, Upland Historic District requirements, and other available planning and capital improvement documents.
GHD has communicated with Upland on current
stormwater and road projects along Campus and Foothill
and understands the City and Upland are seeking project funding opportunities in these same corridors. To assist, we have included grant support in our proposal.
The 1348 PZ is maintained by 8.75 million gallons
(MG) of water stored to the 1348-foot elevation in
three (3) separate reservoirs – Reservoir 1A (3MG), 1B
(2MG), and 1C (3.75MG), built next to each other and
collectively referred to as the 1348 Reservoir at 13th
Street and Campus Avenue. The three (3) reservoirs were constructed over time and review of available as-builts, the Atlas Map, and the RFP exhibit provides somewhat
inconsistent information on reservoir piping, valves, and interconnectivity between each of the three reservoirs.
Early confirmation with the City on existing 1348
Reservoir design and operations will be required, but it appears water is conveyed to each of the 1348 Reservoirs via existing inlet and bi-directional inlet/outlet piping and valve operations interconnecting each reservoir so that it can operate as one.
The 2012 Master Plan indicates that the ultimate
maximum day demand of 8.18 MGD and total storage
required of 8.43 MGD are key design criteria for 1348
PZ transmission mains and storage, and ultimate fire flow requirements are provided. This will continue to be met during the project from the existing 1348 Reservoir and 9MGD provided via the WFA Turnout-2 located near the
1212-3 Reservoir site. Per the Master Plan, additional
water if needed can be provided from source wells and
booster pump stations located in lower pressure zones
that have surplus water. This understanding of 1348
Reservoir operations is a key basis of our proposal,
meaning one reservoir may be isolated with existing valves and removed from service to facilitate construction and provide the City an opportunity to perform additional
optional work within each reservoir if desired. To minimize impact, work will be targeted for completion during
winter. Optional temporary piping connections and new
valves or line stops could be added to the design and
utilized if the City prefers maintaining all three reservoirs during construction with limited cut-over periods. Figure 1 depicts GHD's understanding of the 1348 PZ system
and outlines our phased approach to the project further explained later in our proposal.
Crucially, GHD's phased approach can be easily
modified to conform to City operational and
budgetary requirements if needed by adding proposed
valves slated for an Early Work mechanical contract
where needed to improve operational control and
adjust phasing. The system will continue to operate
during construction through sequencing and remaining
active portions of the 1348 PZ transmission system
supplying water from elsewhere in the Ontario system.
Supplementary supply if need will be provided via lower pressure zone wells and booster pumps.
GHD presents our phased project approach and our
understanding of important objectives, technical,
permitting, and coordination requirements, key
challenges, our proposed solutions and how these will
benefit the 1348 PZ project on Figure 2 - Phasing and
Issues Map. We encourage the City to study the map as
it tells the essential story of how GHD will successfully deliver the project to the City. Our understanding of the City’s 1348 system will be confirmed early in the project through focused data validation, coordination with City engineering and operations staff, and confirmation of
design criteria to support development of practical,
constructible transmission main replacement solutions
consistent with UT1095 RFP requirements.

GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 | 9393 A Unique Phased Approach
1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 1 -
Operational Control and Campus Ave: Phase 1 is
proposed to include two contracts in one bid package.
A contract for Early Work is anticipated to be a smaller value specialized mechanical piping/valve contract
that will focus on improving City operational control
of the 1348 PZ system. The transmission pipeline 'rip
and replace' contract in Phase 1 will begin once City
operational control has been improved and will replace
the transmission main along Campus Avenue to the
1212 PZ reservoir site to align with Upland's Campus
Avenue stormwater project schedule. Separating a more
specialized mechanical contract from a ‘blow and go’
pipe production contract should improve bidding, project delivery and could be more economical for this initial, critical work.
1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 1 Early
Work Package:
This will generally involve utilizing existing City valves and/ or installing new valves (assume gate and butterfly valves with line stops, no bypass, and 1-2 days installation for each valve) and piping at key transmission main locations to support control and phasing, and at the 1348 Reservoir and 1212-3 Reservoir sites.
→ Transmission Main Control: Proposed new valves
will be installed at locations where existing
valves needed for transmission main phasing
are no longer operable or where the length of pipe
replacement for each phase conforms with City
budget or other needs. Additional valves to isolate
old nearby pipe segments identified in the Master
Plan could also be included if the City decides to
add this optional work to the project. A total of ten
(10) new isolation valves are assumed to be installed
on transmission mains in this phase. Removed
existing piping where new valves are installed can
also be inspected to help the City assess existing
pipe condition and estimate remaining life. These
proposed valve locations can also be selected to
support optional non-destructive testing (NDT)
explained in more detail in that section of the
proposal.
→ 1348 Reservoir Control: Where existing external
reservoir valves are not operational, new valves
will be constructed on 12-inch and 18-inch inlet/
outlet lines at each reservoir within existing external valve structures to improve operational control. This
allows for the careful and sequential removal of the
two (2) existing 1348 PZ Reservoir 12-inch and 18-
inch pipelines in the utility-dense alleyway next to
the reservoirs. These two lines are proposed to be
replaced with approximately 600-LF of one (1) new
water line - a simpler, larger diameter bi-directional
reservoir header manifold. This inlet/outlet manifold
line is assumed to be 24-inch until ultimate design
parameters are confirmed.
It is assumed each of the individual 1348 Reservoirs
can be isolated and removed from service for this
work without bypassing, reservoir lines are permitted
to flow bi-directionally, internal reservoir valves are operational, and the 12-inch valve can be safely
replaced if necessary. The existing 6-inch reservoir
drain line and 16-inch overflow line will remain in
place and continue to discharge at the current
location. 1971 reservoir and sewer as-builts do not
show the 12-inch overflow line depicted in the RFP
exhibit. If this line exists, it could be consolidated
with the 16-inch overflow line while working at the
reservoir. Optional consolidation, removal, and
replacement of these lines could benefit and be
added to the project if requested by the City.
GHD proposes 600LF of a 24-inch inlet/outlet
manifold with one (1) 24-inch valve, one (1) 12-inch
gate valve, up to three (3) line stops on 18-inch
existing inlet/outlet lines, and four (4) new 18-inch
butterfly valves to control lines connected to and
between the 1348 reservoirs from outside the
reservoir. Other reservoir work includes:
◊ Upland-2 Emergency Connection proposed
to be a 12-inch tapping sleeve and valve is
included in GHD’s fee schedule and assumed
to be acceptable by Upland and permitting
agencies.
◊ ‘1348 Reservoir True Loop’ that removes the
parallel 12-inch CMLS line down Campus
with a new line connecting to the reservoir
manifold improving redundancy, emergency
preparedness, hydraulics, and operational
flexibility.
◊ An alternative transmission main alignment to
the Euclid corridor extends from Foothill further
down 5th Avenue and along interior Upland
streets. An alternative analysis to compare
available utility space is included in our proposal.
◊ Optional 1348 Reservoir structural repairs. GHD
welcomes further discussion with the City on
understanding this work and is ready to deploy
our structural team to incorporate structural
repairs into the project.
◊ Additional optional internal reservoir work such
as inspection, replacement of valves, piping,
vents, appurtenances, and instrumentation.
→
GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 10 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 394
→ For the 1212-3 Reservoir, existing valves will be used if operable, or new valves/line stops will be installed to facilitate 1348 PZ transmission main replacement,
improved operations, and construction phasing in
this area. It appears from the RFP exhibit and Atlas
map that the 1948 vintage piping can be replaced
by using a number of existing valves. GHD assumes
two (2) line stops and two (2) 16-inch butterfly valves will be needed to isolate and replace the 1348 PZ
transmission main in this area.
◊ GHD will confirm that WFA valves are fully
operational.
◊ The City will add pressure relief pilots and SCADA
pressure control to the PRS to facilitate water
transfers from lower pressure zones.
◊ The 2012 Master Plan noted that the 1212-3
reservoir will ultimately be abandoned. GHD will
confirm with the City and verify other possible
improvements near the site (e.g., tank, PRV, BPS
No. 3 and No. 4, metering, ARVs, blow-offs,
valves, hydrants, etc.) are not needed.
1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 1 –
Campus Avenue to 8th Street::
With operational control improved in the Early Work
mechanical contract, the remaining Phase 1 work will
generally involve isolating the transmission main to 'rip and replace' approximately 6,500-linear feet of 16-inch and 18-inch lines from the 1348 Reservoir along Campus
to 8th Street in the same location with new valves for
future phase tie-ins. This will also include replacement of approximately 1,200 LF of 12-inch transmission main
along Campus to Foothill with appropriate construction
sequencing to maintain 1348 PZ service. GHD assumes
approximately 1,200LF of 24-inch transmission main to
Foothill, 5,300LF of 18-inch transmission main to 8th
Street, and seven (7) new valves will be installed in Phase 1 for tie-ins.
→ This eliminates parallel piping from Campus to
Foothill.
→ Transmission main isolation will be completed either
with existing or new valves installed in the Early Work mechanical contract.
→ The alternative alignment analysis includes the 'True Loop' portion from the reservoir to Foothill and, if
selected by the City, will be incorporated into the
design.
→ Jack and boring is included to facilitate railroad
crossing further explained in the Trenchless section
of the proposal.
→ Includes the Pacific Electric Trail and Upland’s
Historic District special requirements.
→ Isolation achieved through existing or new valves
provided in the Early Work mechanical package.
1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 2 –
Foothill to Euclid:
Phase 2 continues a ‘rip and replace’ approach that will isolate and replace approximately 3,000LF of existing
12-inch transmission main from Campus along Foothill in the same location and includes two (2) 12-inch valves to interconnect with the existing Euclid transmission main.
GHD understands Foothill Boulevard is a busy business
and traffic corridor and will incorporate provisions
for traffic control to maintain business access during
construction.
1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 3 –
8th St to Euclid:
Phase 3 replaces approximately 3,000 LF of existing
12-inch transmission main in the same location along 8th Street from Campus to Euclid. This phase is within a utility dense corridor with a 144-inch stormwater pipe, the 16- inch WFA main, the 24-inch 1212 PZ transmission main,
transmission main blow-offs and ARVs, and other utilities.

It is also within Upland's Historic District where care is needed to follow historic requirements. The phase will
tie in to valves from earlier phases and include three (3) proposed valves to facilitate interconnections at Euclid. 1348 PZ Transmission Improvements – Phase 4 –
Euclid to I-10 and Optional Old Main Replacement
and Caltrans Permitting:
Phase 4 will isolate and 'rip and replace' approximately 6,900LF of 12-inch transmission main in the same location along Euclid from Foothill to the Caltrans ROW at the
I-10 interchange. Much of the phase is within the Upland Historic District. Phase 4 includes a jack and bore and is within a heavy traffic corridor that will include traffic control and business access. Euclid is a wide corridor
which should facilitate construction. This phase completes the transmission main replacements requested by the
City as part of the 1348 PZ project. However, optional
transmission main replacements could benefit the City and operations of the 1348 PZ system if funding is available. → Jack and boring is included to facilitate railroad
crossing.
→ Adjacent old transmission main replacement
identified in the 2012 Water Master Plan on the 1212
PZ piping west of Euclid could be incorporated.
→ Aging piping down Campus Avenue could be added,
including modifications that may be needed at the
Upland-1 Emergency Connection.
◊ Caltrans permitting required for the Euclid
corridor work could be efficiently expanded to
include the optional Campus Avenue work within
the Caltrans ROW at I-10.
Utility Verification
During the proposal phase, GHD obtained a copy of
the City of Upland’s Record Utility Drawings within the existing transmission main corridors to expedite the final design base mapping and understand potential conflicts.
A majority of the information provided was large scale
water and sewer atlas information which will need to
be confirmed with field survey of manholes and water
appurtenance locations. If selected, GHD will perform
additional utility research and coordination to verify
locations for water, sewer, storm, recycled water, gas, electrical, communication, and future potential utility improvements with various agencies (City of Upland, WFA, SCE, IEUA, SBCFCD, Southern CA Gas Co., and telecom).
Potholing Services and Alternative Utility Verification Services will be completed by our partner Underground
Solutions. Before conducting potholing and utility locating, GHD will prepare a matrix with a corresponding plan for the known crossings and parallel utilities that we consider critical. The matrix will reference the available plan
information to document the utility location. A meeting will be held with the City to discuss the matrix and potholing plan in detail before finalizing the field delineation list. GHD will visit the proposed pothole locations and determine if alternate means, such as electromagnetic tracing
or GPR, could provide accurate locations and avoid
extended traffic control and pavement patching.
Based on USA DigAlert field markings observed during the delineation process, we will inform the City of the final number of potholes to be performed. GHD’s proposal
includes 100 potholes approximately 8-feet deep with
traffic control. As requested in the RFP, our approach
proposes non-intrusive means to electromagnetically
locate and validate using GPR at 300 locations. Task 1.5 has been included to provide to perform an additional
100 potholes if necessary. Our goal is to only pothole
what is necessary for the removal and replacement of
transmission mains at possible pinch points and critical trenchless crossings like utility crossings, utility-dense intersections at Foothill Boulevard and Campus, 8th Street and Campus, 8th Street and Euclid and where as-builts
suggest the transmission mains change vertical alignment.

GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 12 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 396
The electromagnetic accuracy is expected to locate the existing waterline within 6-inches to the top of pipe if adjacent electrical utilities do not interfere with the signal. The proposed pipeline is expected to follow the existing horizontal and vertical alignment or possibly be offset slightly in areas where service must be maintained due to phasing and jack and bore work.
Underground Solutions will prepare and submit a comprehensive report with all utility data and photographs for use in the final design. Utility locating and potholing will be completed in coordination with the second phase of field topography.
Trenchless Construction
As with any project requiring trenchless construction, the costs and risks are largely controlled by the construction means and methods necessary to install the proposed pipelines and local geology. Our trenchless lead, Craig Camp, and team of trenchless experts understand this type of construction and its inherent risks. Our tunnel team has in-depth experience in all trenchless technologies and has supported numerous railroad, highway, and flood control district channel undercrossings in many ground types. This experience and expertise will assure the City a successful project at an anticipated schedule, reasonable cost, and level of risk.
Our proposal includes
two (2) sections of
transmission main
constructed via Jack
and Boring to facilitate
permitting under the BNSF
railway. Based on our
site visit and preliminary
investigations, the crossing
of the SCRRA/SANBAG
Metrolink right of way at
Campus Ave. presents
the most challenges for
constructability given the
limited utility and right of
way corridors. Therefore,
we have focused our
approach on identifying
alternatives for the jacking
and receiving pit locations.
Figures 4 and 5 provide
alternative locations for the
proposed conventional
auger boring.
Contractors typically
prefer to have the
launching shafts at the
lower elevation as jacking
uphill is more manageable,
and the tunnel is selfdraining, which protects
their equipment from
flooding. Providing
adequate access to the
jacking pit and receiving
pit for equipment is critical
to reduce costs and
impacts on traffic flow.
GHD has laid out the City's
jack and bore operation
precisely in this way.
Figure 4: Alternative 1
Figure 5: Alternative 2
GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 13 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 397
For planning purposes it is assumed the largest casing
is 30 inches which will allow manned access to remove
cobble if needed. A launching shaft no larger than 40
feet in length and 12 feet in width is also assumed. The receiving shafts will be up to 12 feet square, protected with barriers, and use similar shoring as the launching shaft. The work areas around the shafts must avoid
overhead and subsurface utilities, which add risk and cost to the boring. In instances where building foundations
are adjacent to the shafts such as Alternative 1, specific shoring requirements and monitoring will be considered.
Equipment access, barrier placement and potential utility conflicts anticipated are provided in the figures. Adjacent utilities plotted from observable USA markings, valve cans, manholes, and overhead electrical lines will be verified during the design but the preparation of these early
exhibits demonstrates GHD's ability to efficiently locate conflicts and select alignments to mitigate the risks. Given the challenges identified, Alternative 1 has been selected in our proposal as the preferred alignment for the jack and bore.
Geotechnical Investigation
We have partnered with Converse Consultants to perform
the requested Geotechnical Investigation and prepare
a report for the Project. While the RFP requests borings not exceed 500 foot spacing and assumes that there will be 45 boring locations, GHD will evaluate the excavation requirements proposed for the removal and replacement
of existing pipelines during the preliminary design of the selected alignment. We will advise the City on potential cost savings from the reduction of the number of
borings and the requested pavement repair provided in
Attachment 3 of the RFP. At a minimum we recommend
that soil borings be performed at each end of trenchless crossings and areas where the geology is expected to
change from Young Alluvial Fan Deposits to Younger
Alluvial Fan Deposits north of Foothill Blvd. along Campus Ave.
Grant Funding Support
GHD will provide funding analysis and grant-readiness
support for the 1348 PZ project. We will identify and
prioritize appropriate funding programs and align the
project’s scope, benefits, and documentation to City
requirements. The City has requested GHD investigate
relevant state-funded low interest loan applications,
FEMA community resilience programs, and congressional
Community Project Funding.
GHD will align the project scope, benefits, and
documentation to funder criteria to evaluate the project’s competitive and application readiness. Based on initial funding option findings, GHD will recommend refinements and near-term actions to improve scoring and define how elements should be packaged and framed for up to three
target funders. GHD will confirm eligibility; benchmark against selection/scoring criteria; identify readiness gaps and refinements to improve scoring; and conduct early
funder check-ins before investing in full applications.
Task 1 – Funding Source Review and Eligibility
Screening
GHD will conduct initial funding source review to include the three options and additional funding source research to screen eligibility and program fit. GHD will recommend a shortlist of 3-5 programs with a proposed pursuit
sequence and guidance on how to package project
components/narratives for each.
Task 1 Deliverable: Funding Strategy Memorandum
(1-2 pages) including (a) recommended pursuit path and
project packaging approach, (b) funding opportunities
table, and (c) decision tree mapping project components to target programs.
Task 2 – Funding Application Support (Allowance)
GHD understands the City would like ‘cradle to grave’
funding application support incorporated into the 1348 PZ project. To support this, GHD will confirm the top three funding programs, cycles, submittal format (concept/
pre-app/full), and applicant/partner assumptions. Grant criteria/scoring matrix comparing eligibility, eligible costs, match expectations, priority geography, scoring themes, schedule/time-to-award, and typical required attachments will be developed. GHD will complete a readiness/
competitiveness assessment (design level, cost estimate maturity, access/ROW, key permitting considerations,
seasonal windows, partners) and recommend refinements
and near-term actions to improve scoring.
GHD will continue to track application status, and
assist the City with understanding and pursuing project funding. If funding is available, GHD may initiate funding applications at the direction of the City. A cost estimate for the full application would be developed to ensure
there is enough budget to complete the program specific application.
Because this level of effort is highly variable, GHD
proposes to complete this task as an allowance up to the proposed amount of $30,680. Unused monies will not be
billed to the City and, should the City require additional support beyond the allowance amount, the City will
provide GHD a contract amendment to address costs
to continue to provide full funding support until funding closeout.
Task 2 Deliverables: (1) Top three funding opportunities memorandum with grant criteria & scoring matrix;
readiness assessment and competitiveness enhancements
summary; and application development estimate for
each program (hours/budget range, recommended
attachments, coordination needs). (2) GHD will initiate funding support applications and provide the City copies GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 14 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 398
of application materials and on-going support up to the allowance amount.
Cathodic Protection
The City’s established standard is to install corrosion monitoring test stations to set a baseline for monitoring steel pipelines. To assess the corrosivity of the
project area, we recommend evaluating the in-situ soil
environment using the Wenner four-pin electrode method
for soil resistivity measurements, in addition to conducting soil sampling and laboratory testing. The results of these evaluations will inform the design of an appropriate
corrosion control system to help provide long-term
protection of the proposed 1348 PZ system. The design
may range from a simple monitoring system to either a
galvanic or impressed current cathodic protection system, depending on the soil’s corrosivity.
If corrosive soils are found in the project area that could degrade metallic pipes and fittings, GHD’s in-house
Corrosion/Cathodic Protection Engineer, Jeff Knauer,
a National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE)
Cathodic Protection Specialist, will lead the corrosion potential evaluation. Should cathodic protection be
required, system design will be in accordance with and
based on achieving performance criteria as established
by NACE SP0169. Typical criteria for achieving cathodic protection along the entire alignment may include
implementing impressed current cathodic protection
infrastructure. Such infrastructure could involve
rectifiers, transformers, impressed current anodes in well configurations, junction boxes, test stations, and related appurtenances.
Caltrans Permitting
Crossing through the Caltrans ROW will require a Double Permit for the associated construction. The GHD team
is intimately familiar with Caltrans requirements through performing utility design and construction for more
than a dozen encroachments through Caltans’ rightof-way beneath such California freeways as I-5, I-15, I-80, I-405, I-805, SR-29, SR-90, SR-91, SR-133, SR52, Highway 1, and Highway 101. This success has been attributed to our in-depth experience and understanding of Caltrans' specific requirements which streamlines
the review and has led GHD to the development of a
set of pipeline design guidelines. These GHD guidelines incorporate provisions for horizontal and vertical
alignments, clearances from foundations, locations of
open excavations, and associated plans and specifications adhering to Caltrans requirements as outlined in Chapter 600 of their Encroachment Permits Manual.
The following includes our design checklist to facilitate Caltrans’ approval of such designs:
→ Encroachment alignment near perpendicular to the
vehicular travel
→ All open cut construction to be completed from
outside of Caltrans right-of-way (ROW)
→ Pipeline above a 2:1 slope measured from toe of
foundation/pile
→ Casing sized to accommodate pipeline, including
construction tolerances
→ Casing to maintain minimum depth of cover as
measured from casing pipe crown
→ Encroachment alignment approximately equal
distance between foundations/piles
→ Settlement monitoring specified using a Caltrans
approved method
→ Welded steel casing with full penetration butt
welded joints that restore sidewall strength
→ Contact grouted with a cementitious mix on outside
of steel casing
→ Internal annular space (volume between carrier
pipe(s) and casing pipe) grouted with a cementitious
mix
→ Pipe to be at a minimum 1.0 percent slope
Caltrans permitting is an “early start”, potentially long-lead time item. Building upon our experience and knowledge
of Caltrans requirements, early collaboration with
Caltrans will result in an expedited permitting process.
The GHD team will schedule a meeting with Caltrans
early in the design process to provide the agency with
a thorough understanding of the project, which can
eliminate potential delays in the application process.
Once submitted, the team will closely manage the status with frequent engagement. The City could also consider
improving Caltrans permitting efficiency and add optional replacement of aging transmission mains along Campus
Ave from 8th Street to I-10 to the effort at Euclid and I-10.
Preliminary Design Report (PDR)
The PDR will develop the phased approach for the 1348
PZ project based on review of the draft 2025 Water
Master Plan, discussions with City engineering and
operations staff, coordination and input from the City
of Upland and WFA, as well as other affected agencies
within the project corridors. GHD will conduct a Project Kick-Off Meeting Workshop to discuss and confirm
design parameters and potential impediments, background information, project schedule and milestones, establish communication and Outside Agency coordination
protocols and permitting. We will continue with bi-weekly status reports, issuing agendas, minutes and action items.
Public and private agency coordination will be conducted with relevant stakeholders. Stakeholders will be provided GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 15 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 399
draft plan/profiles drawings of the selected alignment and given 30-days to provide review comments. To maintain
schedule, GHD will move ahead with drafting the PDRL
after the 30-day review period. GHD assumes this review effort will be sufficient for stakeholder approval when necessary, and no further submittals to stakeholders will be needed.
A draft PDR will be provided during a 4-hour Preliminary Design Workshop with a presentation, minutes, and one
round of comments will be addressed. An additional
4-hour workshop will be held prior to finalizing the PDR.
An alternative alignment analysis to assess available
utility space within the existing and proposed corridor (See Figure 2) has been included in our proposal. The
alternative alignment will be assessed with the City,
modified if needed, and compared to the existing
alignments in the PDR. A hydraulic analysis of the
selected alternative will be conducted utilizing the City's complete and calibrated hydraulic model to confirm 1348 PZ operations during the proposed four construction
phases assuming a typical winter demand scenario. The
City's model will also be run to confirm the complete
proposed 1348 PZ transmission improvements meet future
ultimate design requirements. This assumes GHD will use a fully-functional and calibrated hydraulic model that is updated solely to reflect the proposed 1348 PZ design.
Topographic Survey, Potholing (or alternative) Services, and Geotechnical Investigation will be completed for the selected alignment for all phases of the 1348 PZ project.
For the proposal, GHD assumes 20,000 feet of roadway
corridor will be surveyed, and potholing and geotechnical services will follow recommendations discussed above
as part of the same permitting effort. Survey data will become base drawings for the selected alignment. Results from the Optional Nondestructive Testing of the existing transmission mains will be incorporated into the PDR.
Opinion of Probable Construction
Costs
Opinion of Probable Construction Costs will be completed initially in the PDR and include construction, engineering, contingency, and administrative cost allowances for the selected alignment. Costs will be updated at 60, 90, 100% design, and form the basis for the bid form. Our approach includes:
→ Understand project scope and requirements
→ Use historical data and industry benchmarks
→ Perform detailed quantity takeoffs and cost
breakdown
→ Incorporate vendor and supplier input
→ Risk assessment and contingency planning
→ Cost validation and peer review
→ Continuous cost monitoring and updates
Our team leverages an extensive database of historical
cost data from similar projects, industry benchmarks, and published construction cost indices. By analyzing past
projects and market trends, we can establish realistic
cost parameters for labor, materials, and equipment. This comparative analysis helps improve cost accuracy and
makes sure that estimates are competitive and reflective of current market conditions.
CEQA Compliance
GHD assumes the City will file for Notice of Exemption
(NOE), pay all fees, and will obtain the NOE. GHD will
provide up to eight (8) hours of technical support and
coordination with the City for securing CEQA compliance for the selected alignment.
Engineering Design Services and
Project Management
At the onset of the project, GHD will prepare a
comprehensive Project Management Plan, which will
define processes for monitoring and controlling project scope, schedule, costs, quality, risks, communications, and resourcing; project deliverables; and schedule. GHD's stringent project management requirements are based
on our ISO 9001 certification for Quality Management
and hard-won lessons learned through decades of work
around the globe. Using a structured approach and
specific actions, the GHD team will work closely with the City to understand and meet its needs in delivering the 1348 PZ project. We will provide the Project Management Plan to the City for review and comment before we
commence work. Our Project Management Plan is
designed to:
→ Quickly respond to your requests
→ Maintaining a culture of quality that is reflected in our deliverables
→ Continuously monitoring project cost and schedule
→ Providing flexibility to adapt to changing needs and
conditions while still meeting project goals
Upon project inception and throughout the project
lifecycle, our goal is to complete it on-time, within
budget, and to the City’s satisfaction. GHD will complete a Preliminary Design (60%) Submittal and provide plans
and specifications. GHD will then complete a Detailed
Design (90%) Submittal and provide hard copies of
drawings to be reviewed by the City and permitting
agencies having jurisdiction. Design documents shall be sealed and signed. An additional Constructability Review iteration will be conducted. GHD will then provide Final Design Revisions and and further changes, if any, from
City’s independent constructability Consultant will be
addressed. Final Working Drawings and Specifications
(100% Submittal) will be provided. GHD assumes these
GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 16 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 400
drawings are the approved 90% design unless further
changes occur as part of the Final Design Revisions
task. GHD assumes the City will provide relevant record drawings and confirm their accuracy from the outset of
the project.
In addition to Caltrans, permitting with DDW, Upland,
BNSF/SBCTA/Metrolink, and San Bernardino County
is anticipated and will be timely completed. Bid
Support will be provided per the RFP requirements.
Additional Engineering Services requested by the
City at approximately 10% of GHD labor are included
in our proposal to support the City and the project as
a contingency. This effort could help address concerns
regarding existing pipe locations, existing reservoir
discharge permit uncertainties, constricted and
problematic project access, potential issues regarding
GHD's use of the City's calibrated hydraulic model, and other unforseen items. Other potential improvements
that could benefit the City and the 1348 PZ project
have already been discussed throughout the proposal
and could be added to the project in addition to this
contingency.
Schedule
Our proposed schedule below has been developed to
expedite the design while utilizing efficient strategies for utility locating and data collection. We are proposing to phase the design topographic survey to first collect aerial topography to develop the preliminary basemap utilizing known offsets from centerline then collect the utility
data as a separate phase during field data collection. The schedule includes major deliverables required by the City including adequate review periods for stakeholder input.
The schedule will be revised as the project progresses
from the PDR, 60, 90, 100% completion. GHD is open to
discuss expediting this schedule to gain synergy with other City and anticipated Upland projects in the area if desired.

Description: The East County JPA is developing water
supply resilience through implementation of four
progressive design-build contracts (Packages 1-4)
which includes an advanced water treatment plant and
conveyance systems. This is the first project permitted for surface water augmentation via indirect potable reuse in the state.
GHD served as Designer and Engineer of Record for
Package 2 which included the design and construction
of 10-miles of 24-inch welded-steel transmission main
needed to convey purified water from the new AWP
facility to the Lake Jennings Reservoir. The project
included a dechlorination facility to remove residual
chlorine present in the purified water, and a 30-inch
HDPE subaqueous outfall pipeline with outlet diffusers to discharge into the reservoir. GHD performed alternatives analysis, alignment selection and hydraulic modeling to size the transmission pipeline, determine required wall thicknesses, and location and sizing of appurtenances.
Besides standard open-cut pipe installation, GHD
employed innovative design solutions including ten
trenchless pipe segments installed via auger bore (jack and bore) and segment mounted along a bridge crossing
the San Diego River.
GHD performed coordination with Padre Dam MWD's
operations staff during the design phase, and GHD was
engaged to design a potable water pipeline extension for the AWP facility.
East County AWP Program -
Package 2 | Santee, CA
Description: JCSD and Inland Empire Utilities Agency
were awarded $12.3 million in grant funding from the
United States Bureau of Reclamation for the Joint JCSD/ Inland Empire Utilities Agency Recycled Water Intertie
Project. As California’s drought conditions worsen, the Recycled Water Intertie Project will play an essential role in the region’s long-term response to drought and water conservation. The project will offset precious potable
water supplies by serving nearly 200 million gallons of recycled water annually to JCSD’s irrigation customers in Eastvale and Jurupa Valley. Irrigation customers include parks, schools, landscape irrigation along streets, and commercial properties.
This project is part of the backbone of three pipeline
segments and pump stations for JCSD's new recycled
water system and delivers recycled water from the
Western Water Riverside County Regional Wastewater
Authority’s Eastvale Wastewater Treatment Plant to
various irrigation customers within the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority.
GHD performed final design of the project consisting of approximately 22,000 linear feet of new pipeline ranging from 18 to 24 inches in diameter. The recycled water
pipeline included recycled water service laterals up to the existing or proposed customer meter connection. GHD
designed the pipeline in conjunction with the JCSD and
multiple stakeholders consisting of traditional open-cut construction within existing arterial and residential streets, two separate horizontal directional drilling trenchless undercrossings at Cucamonga Creek Channel and
Southern California Edison easements, traffic control,
permitting, existing utilities coordination, potholing, and geotechnical investigation.

Description: The Box Springs Waterline Replacement
is a design and construction project that will replace
a leaking, 50-year-old aging waterline while securing
reliable water service to the Moreno Valley area. The
project involves replacing 1,800 lf of 12-inch CMLC steel water pipeline with 12-inch Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
water pipeline, existing service laterals replacement, and installing new fire hydrants along the industrial roadway.
The project alignment includes a crossing of a four-barrel concrete storm channel, which will be completed using
horizontal auger boring to minimize surface disruption.
Through our on-call contract, the District engaged our
linear design team to provide expedited preliminary
and final design services to replace the failing waterline and further design for trenchless technologies for
construction. We have provided design, surveying/
mapping, potholing, geotechnical, utility research/
outreach, preliminary alignment recommendations,
trenchless technology specifications, TCPs to minimize
public disruption, Engineers OPCC, and bid support
services to date. We also evaluated the feasibility
of other cost saving approaches to the crossing.
Documents have been prepared in accordance with the
District, DDW, pipeline separation, and City/County of
Riverside standards.
We are currently still working on the project and is
looking to have it completed by the end of 2025. The
finished project will Improve system integrity and water reliability, enhance fire protection, reduct maintenance costs, and minimize future community impacts.
Box Springs Waterline
Replacement | Riverside
County, CA
Description: The project includes replacement of water
pipelines in the East and Central Anaheim areas, along with development of design guidelines, template plans, and a standard specification package for future pipeline projects.
In East Anaheim, cast iron water mains constructed in the 1970s are being replaced due to frequent breaks over the past decade caused by external corrosion, with numerous repair patches observed along the alignments. These mains will be replaced with PVC pipe, the City’s preferred material for highly corrosive soils.
In Central Anaheim, water mains will be upsized to
improve fire flows within the 335 pressure zone,
consistent with recommendations from the 1999 Water
System Planning Study. The project also includes
replacement of existing fire hydrants, water services,
meters, and associated appurtenances.
East Anaheim pipeline improvements include four
segments:
→ Replacement of 1,700 lf of 12‑inch CIP with a parallel 12‑inch PVC transmission main and 8‑inch PVC
distribution main along Rural Ridge Circle and Drive,
with an optional trenchless slip‑lining alternative.
→ Replacement of 1,800 lf of 8‑inch CIP with 8‑inch
PVC along Rural Ridge Circle.
→ Replacement and upsizing of 520 lf of 4‑ and 8‑inch
CIP to 8‑inch PVC in the Santiago Way cul‑de‑sac.
→ Replacement and upsizing of 375 lf of 4‑ and 6‑inch
CIP to 6‑inch PVC in the Silverado Way cul‑de‑sac.
Central Anaheim improvements include two segments:
→ Replacement and upsizing of 2,000 lf of 8‑inch CIP to 12‑inch ductile iron pipe along Wilshire Avenue.
→ Replacement and upsizing of 900 lf of 6‑inch CIP to
8‑inch ductile iron pipe along Pearl Street.

GHD | City of Ontario | 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission | 22 Main Improvements | OMUC Contract No. UT 1095 405
Description: The GHD team, led by Chris Bartleman,
designed the Ion Exchange (IX) Treatment Facilities for Well 50, including equipment pre-selection, preliminary and final design of the 4.3-mgd IX facilities for
perchlorate groundwater treatment.
To establish the Basis of Design, the project commenced with the development of Engineering Design Guidelines
(EDG) for IX treatment facilities. The EDG outlines
water quality performance requirements, material, and
equipment preferences for standardization, and serves
as the City’s mechanism for Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) knowledge capture. The Guidelines establish the
basis of design for the current project, and future IX
treatment systems. The one-pass IX system consists of
two-skid-mounted pairs of vessels (four vessels in total), with flow and control measurement on each skid.
The design includes onsite hypochlorite generators
(1+1), salt storage, brine and hypochlorite storage tanks, chemical metering pump skids, and a backup electrical
generator manual transfer switch addition.
The treatment facilities have significant instrumentation and control, connected to an upgraded PLC and new
SCADA antenna to the City. The engineering services
cover site design, off-site pipeline on Riverside Drive, and driveway access expansion for the treatment facilities.

Description: The Golden Avenue Water Main
Replacement project addressed persistent failures of
an existing 6-inch metallic water main and associated
service laterals along Golden Avenue between Spring
Street and 32nd Street in Long Beach, CA. These failures were primarily due to stray current corrosion from nearby cathodically protected pipelines.
The project aimed to improve system reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and allows uninterrupted water
service for the community. We provided engineering
design services, utility research, cost estimating, review/ studies, and construction support for approximately
1,400 lf for the 6-inch ductile iron water main and 48
copper water service laterals. The new water mains will be moved from the old main and will be replaced with nonmetallic PVC C-900 pipes to mitigate corrosion issues.
We also assisted in the creation of new LBWD standard
details for small-diameter water service connections
using non-metallic materials.
The team also provided a corrosion review/study that
included close-interval surveys, potential testing and
pipeline current mapping, and a laboratory soils analysis for corrosivity. The project included close coordination with LBWD’s CIP for water system upgrades. The
replacements provided the District with improved fire
flow protection, preserved water quality to the area,
reduced maintenance costs, and reduced leak frequency
with continuous water services.

Dear Mr. Bartleman:
Converse Consultants (Converse) appreciates the opportunity to be part of your team preparing a geotechnical investigation report to assist with the design of the abovereferenced project. Our proposal is based on the following. Review of the Notice Inviting Proposal (UT1095) for 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission Main Improvements, Euclid Avenue, Campus Avenue, Foothill Boulevard and 8th Street issued by the Ontario Municipal Water Company on February 9, 2026.
Field reconnaissance on February 12, 2026.
Review of the geology anticipated subsurface condition and groundwater maps within the project limits.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Upland adopted the 2012 Water Master Plan (WMP) and the Draft 2025 WMP update identified approximately 23,300 linear feet of 1348 Pressure Zone (1348PZ) potable transmission main that has exceeded the useful life expectancy which is recommended to be removed and replaced.
The transmission mains are located along Euclid Avenue, Campus Avenue, Foothill Boulevard and 8th Street within the City of Upland (City). These transmission mains convey water from the City’s 13th Street 1348PZ Reservoir, which is located in the City of Upland to Ontario customers.

GEOLOGY AND GROUNDWATER
The project site lies on the south-sloping piedmont of the San Gabriel Mountains and is underlain by young Quaternary alluvial-fan deposits derived primarily from nearby 423

M:\JOBFILE\2026\81\26-81-122 1348 PZ Transmission Main Improvements\Proposal\26-81-122_pro(01)Ardurra-OMUC-waterpipe canyon systems (notably San Antonio and adjacent drainages). These deposits typically consist of heterogeneous sandy alluvium with variable gravel, cobble, and localized boulder content, deposited by a mix of fluvial flooding and debris-flow processes. As a result, the subsurface is characteristically discontinuous both laterally and vertically, with abrupt transitions between loose sandy channel lenses, dense gravelly zones, and occasional matrix-supported debris-flow units. Openwork coarse layers can produce zones of very high permeability, while localized finer interbeds may create perched groundwater following seasonal storm infiltration. Cemented lenses and dense fanglomerate horizons may also occur at depth. Local well data indicates that groundwater is anticipated to be deeper than 391 feet below the ground surface (bgs).
Groundwater is not expected to be encountered during the investigation.
For trenchless crossings, these fan deposits present several well-recognized construction challenges. The coarse and highly variable gradation commonly leads to drilling refusal, erratic penetration rates, and steering difficulty for horizontal directional drilling or auger boring, particularly where cobble or boulder clusters are encountered.
Loose sandy zones and open gravels may also cause borehole instability, drilling-fluid loss, and potential settlement or surface heave if annular pressures are not well controlled. Mixed-face conditions, where part of the bore advances through dense gravel while another portion passes through loose sand, are common and can significantly increase tooling wear, alignment risk, and construction uncertainty. Because exploratory borings in these materials often recover disturbed samples and inconsistent penetration data, subsurface variability frequently represents a primary risk factor during trenchless work.
Based on our experience and research, local experiences with municipal waterline removal and replacement beneath major roadways in the area indicate that excavation and utility installation in this piedmont fan environment often require flexible construction approaches. Contractors commonly encounter variable trench sidewall stability, rapid groundwater inflow through coarse layers after storms or irrigation, and the need for over-excavation where very coarse or poorly compactable zones are exposed. Existing pipelines are frequently embedded within heterogeneous backfill and native cobble-rich alluvium that can complicate exposure and removal. Accordingly, successful projects in this area typically rely on conservative shoring assumptions, allowance for obstruction removal, and contingency planning for switching between open-cut and trenchless methods depending on actual subsurface conditions encountered during construction.
See attached Figure No. 1, Geology and Groundwater Map.
SCOPE OF WORK
Our scope of work will include the following tasks.
Task 1: Project Set-up
As part of the project set-up, staff personnel from our office will conduct the following. 424
Proposal To Prepare A Geotechnical Investigation Report 1348 Pressure Zone Transmission Main Improvements Along Euclid Avenue, Campus Avenue, Foothill Boulevard & 8th Street
City of Upland, San Bernardino County, California
February 23, 2026
Converse Consultants
M:\JOBFILE\2026\81\26-81-122 1348 PZ Transmission Main Improvements\Proposal\26-81-122_pro(01)Ardurra-OMUC-waterpipe Prepare a boring locations map and submit for your review and approval. Obtain a no-fee permit from the City of Upland.
Conduct a site reconnaissance and stake/mark the boring locations. Notify underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to drilling to clear the boring locations of any conflict with existing underground utilities. Engage a professional company to control traffic during field investigation. Engage drill rig registered in California.
Task 2: Subsurface Exploration
Our surface exploration will include drilling exploratory borings. The purpose of the borings will be to:
Obtain subsurface information along the pipe alignment. Obtain undisturbed and bulk samples of the various soil types for laboratory testing.
In the RFP under Task 1.6: Geotechnical Investigation, it recommends the following number of borings and spacing.
One boring every 500 feet along the preferred alignment. Total of 45 borings.
It is assumed that the invert depth to pipe will be 5.0 feet bgs, except at the trenchless crossing it will be 10.0 -15.0 feet bgs.
Location Number of Boring/Depth
Euclid Ave., Campus Ave., Foothill Blvd. and 8th St. 25/10’ = 250’ 10 Potential Trenchless Crossing- One boring on each side 20/15’ = 300’ Total 45/550’
Note: Trenchless crossings will be required at the 2 at-grade railroad tracks. However, based on our site visit we anticipate trenchless crossings will likely be required at all major intersections. We understand the design consultant in consultation with the project stake holders will determine where trenchless crossing will be required. If different from what is presented in the above table, our boring depths will be adjusted accordingly.
The borings will be drilled with a truck mounted rig (CME 75 or equivalent) equipped with hollow stem auger for soils sampling. Soils will be continuously logged, sampled and classified by the geologist/engineer in the field by visual examination in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.
Relatively undisturbed ring samples will be obtained using a Modified California Sampler (2.4-inch inside diameter and 3.0-inch outside diameter) lined with thin-walled sample rings. The sampler will be driven into the bottom of the borehole with successive drops of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. The number of successive drops of the driving weight (“blows”) required for each 6 inches of penetration will be shown on the boring log. 425

Bulk samples of representative soil types will be collected in plastic bags. Groundwater levels, where encountered in the borings, will be recorded.
Under Task 1, Geotechnical Investigation, it states that pavement on top of the borings will be repaired with permanent hot mix asphalt, in accordance with Attachment 3.
However, hot mix asphalt and Attachment 3 are 2 different repair methods. We will provide costs for both methods and also provide an alternative cheaper pavement replacement method (Aquaphalt). This method was applied on a recently completed sewer project in the City of Ontario.
Aquaphalt is a high-performance, eco-friendly, water-activated repair material designed for permanent fixes on asphalt and concrete surface, such as potholes, driveways, and utility cuts. It requires no heat or specialized equipment, just pour wet with water and compact. It cures rapidly and is traffic-ready in 15 minutes.
Task 3: Laboratory Testing
Soil samples obtained during exploratory drilling will be tested in our laboratory to evaluate their physical characteristics and engineering properties. Laboratory testing may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following. In-place moisture and density
Sand equivalent
Expansion index
Corrosivity
R-value
Sieve Analysis
Laboratory maximum density
Direct shear
Task 4: Geotechnical Investigation Report
Data obtained from the exploratory borings and laboratory testing program will be evaluated to prepare a report which will include the following. Project description.
Description of the streets along the pipe alignment.
A description of the field procedures used in the investigation. A description of subsurface conditions and controlling engineering properties of the subsurface materials encountered, including a documentation of the borings and sampling locations.
Location of bedrock and groundwater, if encountered.
Geology and faulting.
Seismic parameters based on 2025 CBC.
Liquefaction potential based on available data.
Discussion on the laboratory test results, including soils corrosivity. 426

CHEMICAL TESTS
Corrosivity (pH, resistivity, sulfates, chlorides)................. 225.00 Organic Content, ASTM D2974........................................ 100.00 Conditions: Unit rates presented on this fee schedule are for routinely performed geotechnical laboratory tests. Numerous other earth material physical tests can be performed in our geotechnical laboratories, including rock core, soil cement and soil lime mixture tests. Tests not listed can be quoted upon request. This fee schedule is valid through December 31, 2026.
Prices are based on the assumption that samples are uncontaminated and do not contain heavy metals, acids, carcinogens and/or volatile organics which can be measured by an organic vapor analyzer or photoionization detector with a concentration greater than 50 parts-per-million (ppm). Quoted testing fees are based on the assumption that no protective clothing will be required to handle samples. If Level D protective clothing will be required during handling of samples (as defined in Federal CFR Part 1910.120), then a 40% increase in fees presented in this schedule will be applied. Level C protective clothing will be a 60% increase in fees. Converse will not handle samples that require either Level B or Level A protection in our geotechnical laboratories.
Contaminated samples will be returned to the client. Uncontaminated samples will be disposed of 30 days after presentation of test results. The client must disclose the source of samples. Samples imported from out of state will be incinerated after testing in accordance with requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture. Soil samples obtained within the State of California currently designated quarantine areas will also be incinerated in accordance with the requirement of the State of California, Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Pest Exclusion. A $5.00 incineration fee will be added to each sample that is required to be incinerated in accordance with State and Federal law.
Test results requiring plots will be presented in a publishable format generated from computer programs. Otherwise, raw test numbers will be presented. A minimum laboratory fee of $50.00 will be charged to present and mail test results. Beyond the standard U.S. Mail delivery, specialized transmittal will be charged at additional cost (e.g., Federal Express, UPS, etc.). Geotechnical testing does not include engineering and/or geologic review and analysis.
Typical turnaround for geotechnical laboratory testing is two weeks (or roughly ten working days). To expedite test turnaround to five working days, a 50% increase in the fees in this schedule will be applied. Many geotechnical tests require at least one week to perform in accordance with ASTM or other standard specifications. Fees presented in this schedule for relatively undisturbed direct shear, consolidation or expansion pressure tests are based on the assumption that 2.416-inch inside diameter brass ring samples will be provided to the geotechnical laboratory for testing. Remolded specimens will be compacted in standard 2.5-inch outside diameter brass rings for direct shear, consolidation and expansion pressure tests. All fees presented in this schedule are based on the assumption that the client will deliver samples to our laboratory at no additional cost to Converse.
Invoices will be issued monthly and are payable on receipt unless otherwise agreed upon. Interest of 1.5% per month (but not exceeding the maximum allowed by law) will be payable on any amount not paid within thirty days; payment thereafter to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the principle unpaid amount. The Client shall pay any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred in collecting any delinquent amounts.

In the event of Client's nonpayment or partial payment of said amounts, Client agrees that it shall not use any of the information for any purpose whatsoever and shall return the same to Converse within 2 business days upon demand.
Converse will retain all samples of soil, rock or other materials obtained in the course of performing its services for a period of thirty (30) days. Thereafter, further storage or transfer of samples to Client may be made at Client's expense upon written request from Client to Converse received by Converse prior to the expiration of the 30-day period.
Converse shall retain permanent records relating to the Converse services for a period of five (5) years following submittal of Converse's report, during which period the records will be made available to Client upon reasonable notice given by Client and upon payment to Converse of an amount sufficient to reimburse Converse for its necessary and reasonable expenses in making said records available.
Standard of Care and Professional Responsibility
Client acknowledges that the services to be performed by Converse involve the use of tests, calculations, analyses and procedures which are in a constant state of development, improvement and refinement and that, as such, improvements, changes in methods, and modifications of procedures have been made in the past, are now being made, and are expected to continue to be made in the future.
Further, Client recognizes that, while necessary for investigations, commonly used exploration methods, such as drilling borings or excavating trenches, involve an inherent risk. For example, exploration on a site containing contaminated materials may result in inducing crosscontamination, the prevention of which may not be complete using presently recognized sealing methods.
Client recognizes that the state of practice, including but not limited to the practice relating to contamination or hazardous waste conditions, is changing and evolving and that standards existing at the present time may subsequently change as knowledge increases and the state of the practice continues to improve.
Client recognizes that projects containing contaminated materials may not perform as anticipated by Client, even though Converse's services are performed in accordance with the level of care and skill required of it. Further, certain governmental regulations relating to hazardous waste sites may purport to require achievement of results which cannot be accomplished in an absolute sense. It is recognized that a satisfactorily designed, constructed and maintained monitoring system may assist in the early detection of environmental changes allowing for early correction of problems. Unless it is specifically included in the scope of services to be performed by Converse, Client understands that Converse shall not perform such monitoring.
The services to be provided by Converse pursuant to the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part shall be provided in accordance with generally accepted professional engineering, environmental, and geologic practice in the area where these services are to be rendered and at the time that services are rendered. Client acknowledges that the present standard in the engineering and environmental professions does not include, and Converse does not extend to Client, a guarantee of perfection of the work contemplated hereby; further, that even in the exercise of normal and reasonable care, errors or omissions may from time to time occur. Except as expressly set forth in these General Conditions, no other warranty, express or implied, is extended by Converse.
Converse shall have no duty to supervise, coordinate or otherwise be involved in the performance of services or work by any third-party consultant, contractor or subcontractor.
Where Converse's services involve field observation of grading, filling and compaction (or any of them), it is agreed:
a. That Converse shall in no way be responsible for the manner in which such work is performed by any third party.
b. That in the event Converse is to provide periodic observation, Client acknowledges that Converse cannot be responsible for any work performed at a time or times when Converse was not performing its observation services.
Converse will not provide an opinion concerning the performance of any third party, save and except to the extent that said work was in fact observed and tested by Converse during the course of construction.
c. That where Converse's services include continuous observation, Client agrees not to allow grading, filling or compaction to be performed at any time or times when Converse is not physically present upon the Site and shall restrict the amount and extent of such grading, filling and compaction to that which can be properly observed by Converse personnel present on the Site. d. That in the event Converse is to conduct test borings for Client, Client acknowledges that the accuracy of said test borings relates only to the specific location in which the boring itself was performed and that the nature of many sites is such that differing subsurface soil characteristics can be experienced within a small distance. As such, Client acknowledges that greater accuracy is obtained when the number of test borings is increased.
Technical Limitations
Client acknowledges and agrees that: (1) it is unreasonable to expect Converse to be able to completely evaluate subsurface conditions, even after the most comprehensive exploratory program; (2) site conditions change frequently due to the passage of time, human activities, and climatic conditions and uncertainties are therefore inherent in the nature of Converse’s services and impossible to avoid; (3) the identification of geotechnical and environmental conditions and the prediction of future or concealed conditions is an inexact scientific endeavor; (4) the state of the art of geotechnical and environmental practice is such that Converse cannot guarantee that its recommendations will prove adequate on this project and the Client assumes the risk of any such failure, except as otherwise provided in these General Conditions and that (5) these General Conditions contains specific LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
Indemnity of Client and Limitation of Liability
Converse shall indemnify Client, its officers, directors, agents or employees from any claim, demand or liability arising from personal injury or property loss or damage caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Anything to the contrary in the agreement to which these General Conditions are attached or in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Converse's liability shall be limited to the lesser of the fees charged to Client by Converse for the services performed for Client, or the sum of fifty thousand dollars. Client may, at its option, increase the maximum amount for which Converse shall be liable by payment of an additional fee.
For the maximum liability sum of one hundred thousand dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be four percent of the total Converse fee charged hereunder; for the maximum liability sum of one million dollars, the additional amount to be paid shall be five percent of the total Converse fees charged hereunder Client acknowledges and agrees that its recovery, if any, shall be satisfied, in the first instance, from the proceeds of Converse’s insurance, and to the extent of any deficiency in the available insurance proceeds, then and only then, by Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has agreed to charge Client a reduced fee for services in exchange for the above limitation of liability and that said reduction in fees is consideration for said limitation.
Client shall defend and save harmless Converse, its officers, directors, agents and employees from all liability, claims and demands, including expenses of suit and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from personal injuries, including disease and death, property loss or damage, injury to others (including personnel of Client, Converse or 436
Converse Consultants GC99-1
subcontractors performing work hereunder), and air or ground pollution or environmental impairment arising out of or in any manner connected with or related to the performance of Converse's services, except where there is a judicial determination that such injury, loss or damage shall have been caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Converse.
Client acknowledges that Converse has charged Client a reduced fee for services to be performed by it in exchange for this hold harmless and that the reduction in fees is consideration for said hold harmless provision.
Converse will not be liable for consequential damages of any kind, nature or description.
Hazardous Waste, Pollution and Health Hazard Projects ("Hazardous Projects" Herein)
Prior to the commencement of services by Converse on any hazardous project, Client agrees to advise Converse in writing of any known hazardous waste or materials existing on or near the Site or if any of said services are to be performed in an area where dust, fumes, gas, noise, vibrations or other particulate or nonparticulate matter is in the atmosphere where it raises a potential or possible health hazard or nuisance to anyone working within the area.
Anything in these General Conditions notwithstanding, Client shall indemnify and hold Converse, its officers, directors, agents, servants and employees, harmless from any claim, demand or action brought by any party whomsoever, including employees of Converse which claim, demand or action is based upon injury or damage caused or alleged to have been caused by hazardous wastes or hazardous materials whether or not such waste or materials were known to exist prior to the commencement of services.
Client agrees to be responsible for the removal and disposal of any hazardous waste uncovered as a result of the site investigation, including drill cuttings, unless specifically included within the scope of work
It is agreed that the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials constitutes a changed condition mandating an immediate renegotiation of the scope of services or termination of services. Converse will at all times endeavor to perform in a faithful and trustworthy manner. Client understands that Client or Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency. Client also understands that Converse may be required by local and/or state and/or federal statute to report the discovery of hazardous materials to a government agency, and that Converse, when practical, will do so only after notifying Client. In the event Converse discovers hazardous material that we believe poses an immediate threat to public health and safety, Converse will use its best judgment to notify appropriate emergency personnel for immediate containment. Client agrees to take no action of any kind against Converse when Converse makes a good-faith effort to fulfill its obligations.
Client's Responsibilities
Client shall immediately provide Converse with full information in writing as to Client's requirements for the services to be provided by Converse and shall designate in writing within five (5) days of the effective date of the agreement to which these General Conditions are a part, a representative to act on Client's behalf in conjunction with the services to be provided hereunder. Client shall promptly review all documents, reports, data and recommendations submitted by Converse and shall communicate with Converse concerning such reviews for the purpose of avoiding delay in the performance of the services to be rendered by Converse.
Client shall notify any third party who may perform on the Site of the standard of care being undertaken by Converse pursuant hereto and of the limitations of liability contained herein.
Client shall require as a condition to the performance of any such third party a like indemnity and limitation of liability on their part against Converse.
Confidentiality
Converse shall hold all information provided to it by Client and the results of the work performed by it confidential and shall not disclose the same to any third party except where required by Governmental regulatory agencies or as otherwise required by law.
Disputes
Converse shall have the right to bring a legal action in a state or federal court against Client for any sums due or alleged to be due to it or for services rendered. Except for this right, Converse and Client agree that as an express condition to the right of either party to bring a legal action against the other, they shall first submit any dispute to mediation by a neutral person acceptable to both parties.
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and other expenses, except that each party shall be responsible and pay for one-half of the costs and expenses of the mediator.
In the event that legal action is required, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection therewith including, without limitation, staff time, court costs, attorneys' fees, consultant and expert witness fees and any other related expenses. In this regard, in order to make the prevailing party whole, the parties acknowledge and agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs incurred in connection with the legal action and shall not be limited to “reasonable attorneys fees” as defined in any statute or rule of court.
The obligations, responsibilities, warranties and liabilities of the parties shall be solely those expressly set forth herein. Remedies and limitations of liability shall apply regardless of whether an action is brought in contract, or is based on either party’s negligence, or another theory of law. All of the rights, remedies, obligations, terms, conditions and limitations of liability stated herein shall extend collectively to and be binding upon the parties’ partners, joint ventures, licensors, successors, assigns, insurers, and affiliates. Client and Converse agree that any legal action with respect to the services to be performed under these General Conditions shall be brought against the parties, and not against individual officers, employees or former employees of the parties. All legal actions by either party against the other for breach of these General Conditions or for the failure to perform in accordance with the applicable standard of care, however framed, that are essentially based upon such breach or failure shall be barred two (2) years from the time claimant knew or should have known of its right to make a claim, but, in any event, not later than four (4) years from substantial completion of Converse’s services.
Jobsite Safety
Converse shall be responsible for its activity and that of its employees on the Site.
This shall not be construed to relieve the Client, its general contractor or any subcontractor of their obligation to maintain a safe jobsite.
Neither the professional activities nor the presence of Converse or its employees and subcontractors shall be understood to control the operations of others, nor shall it be construed to be an acceptance of the responsibility for jobsite safety.
Converse will not direct, supervise or lay out the work of the Client, contractor, or any subcontractors. Converse's services will not include a review or evaluation of the adequacy of the contractor's safety measures on or near the Site.
Schedules
Unless otherwise specified in the agreement, Converse shall be obligated to perform within a reasonable period of time. Converse shall not be responsible for delays in the completion of its services created by reason of any unforeseeable cause or causes beyond the control and/or without the fault or negligence of Converse, including but not restricted to acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government of the United States or of the several states, or any foreign country, or any of them acting in their sovereign capacity, acts of other contractors with Client, fire, floods, epidemics, riots, quarantine restrictions, strikes, civil insurrections, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
Should completion of any portion of the services to be rendered by Converse be delayed beyond the estimated date of completion for any reason which is beyond the control of or without default or negligence of Converse, then and in that event Client and Converse shall mutually agree on the terms and conditions upon which the services may be continued or terminated.
Invoices
Converse shall submit monthly progress invoices to Client, and a final bill shall be submitted upon completion of the services. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, Client shall pay the full amount of the invoice. If Client objects to all or any portion of any invoice, it shall so notify Converse of the same within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of said invoice and shall pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute, and the parties shall immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion of the invoice.
If Client fails to make payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, then Client shall pay an additional monthly service charge of one and one-half percent (1½ %) on all such amounts outstanding. The additional charge shall not apply to any disputed portion of any invoice resolved in favor of Client. In the event Client fails to pay any undisputed amount to Converse when due, Converse may immediately cease work until said payment together with a service charge at the rate of 1½ % per month, as specified above, from the due date has been received.
Further, Converse may, at its sole option and discretion, refuse to perform any further work irrespective of payment from Client.
In the event that all or any portion of the 1½ % service charge provided for herein is deemed to be an interest charge, then and in that event said interest charge shall be limited to the maximum amount legally allowed by law.
Client acknowledges Converse’s fee schedules are revised annually and agrees that the fee schedule in effect at the time the services are performed shall apply to such services.
Insurance
Converse represents that it now carries, and will continue to carry during the term of the contract to which these General Conditions are a part, Workers Compensation insurance and that, if requested, Converse shall provide to Client certificates as evidence of the aforementioned insurance.
Assignments
Client shall not assign this contract or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without the express written consent of Converse. Nothing contained in this contract or any part thereof shall be construed to create a right in any third party whomsoever, and nothing herein shall inure to the benefit of any third party.
Severability

EXHIBIT "A"
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
1. TASK 1: TOPOGRAPHIC AERIAL SURVEY
P.B.L.A. Surveying, Inc. will provide design-level topographic aerial surveying services to support this project. The Survey Limits are outlined on the aerial image and identified as the “Site” on Attachment “A.” The survey will be suitable for use in engineering design & planning.
Survey Control
The vertical control will be based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) holding the Caltrans Vertical Network.
The horizontal control will be based on the California State Plane Coordinate System of 1983 (NAD 83) holding the Caltrans Horizontal Network.
At a minimum, 3 recoverable control points will be set on-site and will be shown on the final topographic survey submittal.
Survey Features
This task includes completion of an aerial photogrammetric survey to produce a topographic base map with 1-foot contour intervals along the 4 corridors as shown in Attachment “A”.
High-resolution aerial imagery will be collected and controlled using established survey control to generate:
Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
1-foot contours
Spot elevations
Visible surface features and improvements
Existing ground conditions suitable for engineering reference The following features will be located and depicted based on the aerial survey:
Buildings, tanks, sheds, walls, fences, and other structural improvements as applicable Pavement areas, drive aisles, parking areas, and striping Trees greater than six (6) feet in height, regardless of caliper Signing and striping within the Site
Spot elevations necessary to evaluate surface drainage, including adjacent streets and off-site catch basins that influence flow within the Site Site photographs will be taken during fieldwork and included in the final submittal package. 440

2. TASK 2: SUPPLEMENTAL SURVEY: UTILITIES & BOUNDARY SURVEY P.B.L.A. Surveying, Inc. will provide an update to the aerial survey by adding supplemental surveys.
This task will also include the ground-based surveying of areas obstructed from aerial view, including:
Tree canopy–covered areas
Overhangs and covered structures
Shadowed or visually restricted zones
Boundary & Record Research
The topographic survey will include a field boundary verification depicting record property lines and easements based on current county-recorded maps and documents. Record research collected in support of the boundary verification will be incorporated into the final survey deliverables. Current title reports shall be provided by the client if easements on private properties are to be depicted or if there are discrepancies with the ROW. Depending on site conditions and statutory requirements, the boundary work associated with the topographic survey may trigger the need for a Record of Survey, which will be addressed under a separate proposal.
Utilities
The survey will include the location of visible above-ground utilities within the Site, including utility appurtenances such as valve boxes, meters, and utility structures.
Where accessible and not bolted or sealed, invert elevations and sizes of storm drain, sanitary sewer, and drainage structures within the Site will be obtained. Existing utility markings identified through USA/811 paint markings will be surveyed and depicted.
Research, plotting, or verification of subsurface utilities not visibly marked or exposed is not included unless specifically authorized. If required, a utility locating subcontractor or subsurface utility engineering consultant may be retained as an additional service under the direction of P.B.L.A.
3. TASK 3: UTILITY POTHOLE AND UTILITY MARKINGS SURVEY
Upon completion of utility potholing activities by others, our team will mobilize to the project site to perform surveying services associated with utility pothole locations (assuming 100 potholes and 300 utility field markings per the RFP. They will be surveyed within the span of 15 field days). Surveying activities will occur after the utility has been uncovered, measured by the potholing contractor, and backfilled, ensuring safe and accessible site conditions at the time of our visit.
For each pothole location, we will:
Survey and record the horizontal and vertical (XYZ) coordinates of the pothole location. Survey and document all visible surface utility markings within a 10-foot radius of each pothole at the time of our site visit.
Field data will be collected using conventional or GNSS surveying methods, as appropriate for site conditions and project control. Data will be processed and incorporated into the project survey base mapping for design and coordination purposes.

Underground Solutions, Inc. is committed to providing our customers with the most accurate utility locating service available. We employ state of the art electromagnetic signal tracing and radar imaging technologies, however, no method of underground utility locating can ever guarantee 100% accuracy or completeness. Variables, including but not limited to age, condition of the facilities in question, soil type, and moisture content can adversely affect the ability of our equipment to find and trace utilities, and on rare occasions may even result in errors or omissions beyond our control. Some utilities are simply not locatable. The only true way to positively identify utilities is through vacuum excavation potholing and visual verification. If we can’t find a given facility, we’re confident that no one else can either.The more information you can provide USI about your site, the more complete and efficient the work will be. The following items will help USI achieve the best results possible: *Copies of any available schematics, plans, or as-built drawings (PDF format); *At least one on-site contact (name, title, telephone/cell number and/or email address); *If possible, access to all utility buildings, mechanical rooms, etc. within and around the area of investigation. USI shall not be held liable for excavation related damage to any utility not shown on prints, maps, plans, as-built drawings or other documents provided, or having no serviceable connection point or visible surface structure within the requested area of investigation, and/or the presence of said utility is not otherwise made evident to us before or during the performance of our work.

SUBJECT: AN AMENDMENT TO THE MAINTENANCE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HPS WEST, INC., DBA HYDROPRO SOLUTIONS FOR ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGY PHASE 2 PROJECT
CITY OF ONTARIO
Agenda Report
June 16, 2026
SECTION:
CONSENT CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with HPS West, Inc., dba HydroPro Solutions of Ontario, California, to provide installation and maintenance services for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Technology Phase 2 Project in the amount of $700,266 for a new total revised not-to-exceed amount of $1,146,404, and a term of August 19, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
THE FOLLOWING COUNCIL GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED:
Operate in a Businesslike Manner
Invest in the Growth and Evolution of the City's Economy Invest in the City's Infrastructure (Water, Streets, Sewers, Parks, Storm Drains and Public Facilities)
FISCAL IMPACT: Proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Maintenance Services Agreement with HSP West, Inc., dba HydroPro Solutions (HydroPro) for design, installation, and maintenance services for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Technology Phase 2 Project increases the Agreement by $700,266 for a new total revised not-to-exceed amount of $1,146,404.
The Proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget includes appropriations from the Water Capital Fund for these services. There is no impact to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The City's water system includes approximately 44,000 water meters that are utilized by residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The City's existing AMI system includes four tower base stations and seventeen repeaters located throughout the City to capture data from about 38,000 meters currently. The remaining 6,000 meters are read manually through 451
drive-by meter reading conducted by Staff. The meter information is then processed in the Customer Information & Billing System (CIS) for monthly billing to customers.
In 2024, the AMI Technology Phase 1 Project expanded the City's AMI system from one AMI tower base station to four tower base stations that communicate with seventeen repeaters and about 38,000 meters.
In 2025, Master Meter completed a communication survey to determine ideal locations for future AMI tower base stations and repeaters to support all the water meters in use today and future meter locations through buildout of Ontario Ranch.
In February 2026, Staff solicited HydroPro for a proposal for the AMI Technology Phase 2 Project.
The work under this proposed Amendment will include the design and installation of two new AMI tower base stations. The AMI tower base stations for Phase 2 identified in the attached Exhibit “A” include:
T1 (New AMI Antenna) - located at 1420 E. Francis St. – Fire Station No. 3 T2 (New AMI Antenna) - located at 3385 E. Riverside Dr. – Creekside Park Upon completion of the project, Staff will be able to remotely connect to additional existing and future water meters to access real-time water usage data. Expanded real-time data collection will improve operational efficiency, support timely customer billing, assist in identifying excessive water usage, and aid in the early detection of potential leaks or breaks within customer service lines.
The Master Meter Radio Read Meter was selected as the City standard specification for all new and replacement meters as a result of a public bid process and product evaluation that took place in 2001, when six different vendors and product lines were evaluated. Staff regularly evaluates the cost of meters from different meter manufacturers, including pricing for hardware and support services, and has concluded that costs do not vary substantially. Additionally, technical aspects are considered such as integration of all electronic components within the meter case, add-on devices, product support and services, software compatibility with CIS and proven service record.
The purchase and installation of Master Meter equipment can only be made directly through the manufacturer’s approved distributor. HydroPro is the exclusive distributor in California for Master Meter equipment and offers uniform pricing for all water agencies that use its products.
On August 19, 2025, the City entered into a sole-source Maintenance Services Agreement with HydroPro to provide preventative maintenance and repair services to maintain, strengthen and optimize the network infrastructure and Staff recommends this proposed Amendment to complete the AMI Technology Phase 2 Project.
