City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 1 SECTION B—CITYGATE APPROACH, SCOPE, AND TIMELINES This section presents Citygate’s updated project approach to conduct the Citywide Organizational Assessment of all departments followed by a single integrated Work Plan and a discussion of project add-ons including a communications plan and an assessment of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department. The section concludes with an updated timeline for the expanded scope of services and an updated Project Team organization chart showing assigned consultants for each department. B.1 UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK B.1.1 Project Context Citygate understands the City seeks valuable information and insights on how to best provide services to the community you serve. We understand that the City has limited financial resources and is projecting a severe and increasing structural deficit of $13 million over the next eight years. Balancing the City’s desire to maintain high service levels and to adhere to the City’s 2023–2028 Strategic Plan with the financial realities you face requires a thorough analysis of all City functions and thoughtful, creative recommendations. This analysis will seek to find long-term sustainable cost-saving measures and eliminate redundancies, waste, and inefficient or unnecessary operations. We commend the City of Pleasanton for undertaking this important project! B.1.2 Project Scope, Overview, and Objectives Citygate proposes to perform an Organizational Assessment of all City departments for the City of Pleasanton. The objective of the study is to provide valuable information for City decisionmakers on how to best provide services to the community given the City’s limited financial resources. Citygate will evaluate current conditions, analyze opportunities for organizational changes and process improvements that can further enhance service to customers and stakeholders, evaluate future service demands, and develop an Implementation Action Plan with a prioritized implementation schedule of recommendations and options for how to HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR APPROACH… u We know that no single measure (listening, documents, or data) tells the entire story u 360-degree listening is essential, and is tailored to each audience u We listen carefully, compare what is heard to data, and work closely with City team to close gaps u We provide ongoing communication, including monthly status reports u Recommendations must be regulatory compliant and feasible given your culture and fiscal constraints u We will look beyond data to learn of other operational demands that consume staff time u “Quick win” recommendations are identified early in study u When listening and data align but the results are surprising, we spend the time with you to reach understanding
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 2 adjust services and operations to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability and maintain the high quality of life in your community. Included in this objective is an emphasis on identifying opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and more efficient sharing of resources among City departments; and developing service delivery performance measures and benchmarks to measure progress. Please note that this scope of services has been modified slightly from the scope originally defined in the City’s Request for Qualifications to reflect our understanding of how best to address the City’s priorities cost-effectively at a higher level, with sensitivity to the impact on City staff of simultaneously reviewing each department. For each department, Citygate will perform the following. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of departmental structure: Ø Evaluate core departmental functions and processes for alignment with City Council goals and City priorities. Ø Review reporting structures, roles, and responsibilities to identify redundancies, gaps, or inefficiencies. Ø Analyze staffing levels, vacancies, and workload distribution to assess resource allocation and balance. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of process and efficiency: Ø Assess the effectiveness of current human, financial, and technological resources in meeting departmental objectives. Ø Identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks in key processes and recommend opportunities for improvement or cost savings. ¨ Perform high-level assessment of reporting and accountability: Ø Recommend systems and tools to enhance accountability and maintain service quality across departments. ¨ Engage with internal stakeholders including staff in all departments and elected officials, to gather feedback regarding potential opportunities for improvements to efficiency, customer service, and organizational culture. ¨ Frame recommendations that present the most cost-effective and strategic way to meet current and future needs, while promoting a culture of high performance, accountability, transparency, and community engagement, and ensuring consistency in the application of laws, codes, and other regulations.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 3 ¨ Recommend practical and achievable solutions that: Ø Clarify roles, responsibilities, and authority of staff Ø Eliminate duplication and overlap of responsibilities within each department and between other City departments Ø Improve the delivery time and quality of services provided by each department Ø Improve communications within and between departments Ø Improve communications with customers and stakeholders Ø Identify opportunities for new technology that would reduce resource demands Ø Evaluate future service demands and evaluate staffing levels, funding, and revenue sources to meet that demand Ø Outline a variety of cost reduction strategies within both present and future scenarios to align service delivery goals with available resources. Specific departmental priorities will be addressed for Development Services, Public Works, and Police as follows, with specific areas of emphasis for other departments determined in conjunction with the City throughout the course of the study. ¨ Development Services (Community & Economic Development, Business License, Engineering): Ø Timeliness and efficiency of permit processing Ø Technology system evaluation (permit tracking, online portals) Ø Customer service standards and performance metrics Ø Business license renewal and compliance efficiency (contract vs. in-house) ¨ Public Works Ø Vacant position recruitment strategy Ø Water/sewer operations analysis Ø Contract vs. in-house service delivery ¨ Police Ø Staffing deployment and patrol coverage analysis
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 4 Ø Response time evaluation Ø Technology utilization (records management, mobile reporting) Ø Performance metrics and accountability systems Ø Training program effectiveness review/leadership training B.2 HIGHLIGHTS OF PROJECT APPROACH Citygate’s proposed methodology is built around the following core elements: Technical Analysis Citygate will work with staff to gather all available documentation regarding organizational structure, staffing, policies, procedures, performance data, budgets, and technology. Our subject matter experts will review and analyze the documentation to create a broad understanding of each department’s operational strengths and weaknesses. Our technical analysis will also include the following core elements: Internal Procedures We will evaluate each department’s service levels and standards, performance measures, performance reporting, and the employee performance management system for alignment with stakeholder expectations. We will review, at a high level, the current operating policies and procedures, workflows, organizational structure and management systems, spans of control, organizational relationships, interdivisional and interdepartmental coordination, communications, information systems, administration and supervision, job duties, opportunities for outsourcing or insourcing, risk management coordination and practices, overtime management practices, labor agreements, and related aspects to make findings and determine recommendations. Employee Learning and Development We will focus on assessing existing and future service demand, allocation of staff to meet these demands, staff retention and recruitment, training needs and resources, professional development approaches to support succession, planning tools and technology available to staff, and the overall staffing strategy.
Project highlights by the numbers: • Over 20 seasoned consultants with redundancy across every project discipline • Hundreds of years of practitioner expertise • 5 core tasks across 12 months • 2 Project Briefings (1 Mid-Project Briefing and 1 Final Report Briefing)
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 5 Finance We will evaluate the current budget and funding levels, including an assessment of the ability to maintain and/or enhance service levels, attract and retain staff, and implement new technology. We will provide recommendations on alternative approaches to funding if appropriate given current funding, projected demand, technology needs, and/or changes in service scope or levels. Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement is perhaps the most important step in an efficiency study. Nobody knows better where opportunities lie than the people who execute the processes every day or who are dependent on those services for their livelihood. The best solutions often come from brainstorming with stakeholders. While there may be different perspectives from a variety of participants, it is always rewarding to find how people on different sides of the table seek the same solutions. Our team will encourage honest feedback, asking for stakeholder input before offering ours for their critique. We can then synthesize the feedback with benchmarking standards, performance data, and available resources to frame recommendations. Our Work Plan includes jointly developing a communication and engagement plan with the City. Project Customization Boilerplate recommendations are not our goal at Citygate. After completing technical analysis and stakeholder engagement, our team will meet with staff to filter potential solutions for context and culture specific to the City of Pleasanton. Our goal is to provide recommendations that are achievable not only financially, but politically and culturally as well. We find the best way to do that is to work in tandem with staff to understand the broader framework within which our recommendations must work. Following a Mid-Project Review with staff, we will move forward to finalize recommendations. Citygate offers additional beneficial elements such as an orientation meeting with City leadership, distribution of a Project Orientation Brochure at the initial kick-off meeting and during our on-site visit in Task 2, and a Mid-Project Review to discuss initial findings and recommendations with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department Heads, and the assigned Project Manager. These elements will ensure that all internal and external stakeholders have the chance to participate in Citygate’s review in a constructive manner which is essential to ensure the project’s success.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 6 B.3 PROFILE OF ASSESSMENT FACTORS For simplicity we have organized our assessment factors into the following broad themes:
B.4 POLICE SERVICES APPROACH Efficient and effective police services support continued efforts to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime, respond to all types of public safety calls for service, and maintain the highest levels of community partnerships and engagement. As such, Citygate’s assessment and prioritized recommendations for the Police Department will classify both immediate needs and future milestones, identifying priorities, potential alternatives, and the consequences of inaction. Our commitment to active listening and collaboration with your community allows us to provide practical and implementable recommendations for the Department to thrive in the evolving environment of policing. You can trust us to personally meet with your staff, develop genuine relationships, and listen with the specific goal of learning not only what they do, but how they do it. Then—after developing a sufficiently informed foundation of knowledge of the Department and completing an analysis of data and all relevant reports, procedures, and practices—Citygate will offer recommendations that are implementable and tailored to the Department’s unique situation.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 7 COPSTM Adaptive Methodology At Citygate, we strongly value our independence, as we believe it provides a significant benefit to both our analyses and our clients. Because we are not bound to any particular standards-setting organization—nor beholden to an exclusive methodological framework—we are free to choose from a variety of potential options based on what will be most effective for your agency. There is no “one-size-fits-all” formula to address police agency staffing, utilization, deployment performance metrics, etc. Thus, to accurately assess your specific agency and provide coordinated best practice standards and recommendations that are attuned to your unique needs, we utilize the Citygate Operational Policing Strategy (COPS) analysis model. COPS is an adaptive methodology by which Citygate chooses best practices and benchmarks from a matrix of options based on the local context, culture, values, and scale of your agency. Having assessed your community’s unique local context and fact pattern, Citygate will connect the Department’s performance to metrics and standards found in the published work of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), the National Policing Institute (NPI), the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), the International Academies of Emergency Dispatching (IAED), and other standards-setting organizations and cutting-edge scholars to ensure our recommendations best fit your specific policing model and needs. Data-Driven and Fact-Based Analysis Our comprehensive work will provide a guide to the Department for the City’s current and future service delivery demands. In addition to conducting a data-driven assessment of field services deployment, Citygate’s review will incorporate relevant, measurable Department and City data, and will delineate our analysis of the Department’s capacity to provide the highest level of law enforcement services possible within the context of the City’s resources and infrastructure. Citygate utilizes Microsoft Power BI as an analysis tool, and our trained statisticians provide local government agencies with historical and up-to-date analytics related to Computer-Aided Dispatch data to better understand the response, time management, deployment, and geographical information related to an agency. For this review, one example of Citygate’s data analysis will include the use of Power BI to analyze the “average committed time per hour” and “average Patrol units committed” to determine a per-hour utilization rate for predictive purposes. For an evaluation of staffing, this means of analysis enables Citygate to simulate the impact to changes in personnel to demonstrate potential changes in workload utilization and where the most positive results can be expected. Citygate applies this
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 8 data-informed, predictive analysis to make the most specific staffing and scheduling recommendations, by time of day and day of week. This ensures that even agencies that are experiencing difficulty in the recruitment and retention of authorized, sworn personnel can still benefit greatly from targeted realignments in scheduling and coverage where applicable. A small example of our workload and utilization analysis is shown in the following figure. Figure—Example – Workload and Utilization Analysis Quantitative Results Our capacity to simulate the considerable positive impact to patrol utilization that can be expected from implementing our recommendations makes all the difference to the agencies we serve. Examples such as these are why, if selected for this important project, the City can be confident that Citygate’s findings and recommendations will be thoughtful and leading-edge, positioning the City and Department to see through the overwhelming amount of data and achieve quantitative results. Our approach and analysis will be based on the City’s specific context to ensure a relevant and actionable outcome. Through the COPS methodology, Citygate’s Project Team will work with you to develop specialized strategies that position the Department and City for success in achieving a better future for the agency and community.

City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 9 B.5 WORK PLAN (CORE PROJECT SCOPE) Citygate’s Work Plan to address the scope of work identified is comprised of five core tasks, each with clear task objectives, detailed sub-tasks, and key milestones/deliverables. This Work Plan reflects our understanding of how best to address the City’s priorities cost-effectively at a higher level, with sensitivity to the impact on City staff of simultaneously reviewing each department. Our recommendations, which will be developed through our highly iterative, transparent, and collaborative approach to analysis, will lay the groundwork for interdepartmental efficiency, effectiveness, and esprit de corps. Following this Work Plan, we discuss our approach to the requested assessment of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department. Task 1: Initiate and Manage the Project 1.1 Meet with the City to Initiate Study: A key to a successful review is a mutual understanding of the project’s scope and objectives. Citygate will begin with a virtual pre-kick-off call between Citygate’s Project Manager and the City Manager to discuss project goals and objectives and the approach to the project kick-off meeting. Next, Citygate’s Project Team will meet virtually with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department Heads, and the designated Project Manager for the project kick-off meeting to correlate our understanding of the study’s scope and ensure that our Work Plan and project schedule are mutually agreeable. We will prepare a Project Orientation Brochure that can be used to inform staff and stakeholders of the project objectives and approach. This early effort to clearly define expectations, roles, and lines of communication should result in better focus on substantive issues as the engagement progresses. For us to be most effective, we will continuously communicate throughout the duration of the study, beginning with our first contact with City staff. Our key message must be that our role is not an adversarial one. Our role is to provide an independent review of the City Departments. We believe our ability to initiate and maintain positive, two-way communication as the study proceeds will result in not only well-supported findings but also a consensus and buy-in among City personnel concerning the acceptance of our work and the benefit of implementing our recommendations. It is crucial that the project be viewed by the City staff and officials as a valuable and worthwhile endeavor.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 10
1.2 Develop Stakeholder Communication and Engagement Plan: We will collaborate with the City on effective strategies for communicating project objectives and status to the community and key stakeholders, as well as determining interview and engagement strategies to solicit the input of key stakeholders and customers. 1.3 Obtain and Review Documentation: To fully understand operations, we need to obtain and review a number of documents, including the following: the mission statement; overall work plan; departmental goals related to staff and applicants; organization charts; process flowcharts; Comprehensive Plan; City Ordinances; budgeted vs. filled vs. assigned positions by work unit; performance targets and measures; position descriptions; plan check procedures; staff training data; inspection scheduling; occupancy permits; staff reports and minutes; applications and forms; operating and workload statistics; fees and charges; expansion design plans; contracts; specialized reports such as environmental and engineering reports; other policies and procedures; and pertinent City, state, and federal regulations and guidelines. For each Department, we will review City studies being conducted concurrently with the Organizational Assessment Study to avoid duplication or to identify any gaps that could affect the assessment and to align findings. The initial interviews and document review will help us understand the core workflow processes and procedures of the Departments. We will also conduct unit walk-throughs, document where processes are functioning well, and where opportunities for improvement exist. 1.4 Monitor Engagement Progress and Completion of Tasks: We have combined the initial task of starting the project with the ongoing task of monitoring, directing, and administering the project. In addition to ongoing oral progress reports with assigned City executives, we will provide monthly written status reports. Key Milestones/Deliverables: u Orientation Brochure. u Document Request List. u Ongoing oral progress reports and monthly written status reports.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 11 Task 2: Communicate with and Involve Stakeholders 2.1 Conduct Interviews with City Leadership and Key City Personnel: To enhance our understanding of the issues at stake in this review, we will meet on-site with and interview the City’s project leadership team as necessary. A goal of the interviews is to orient the consultant team to the history and current context in which the study is taking place. These meetings will also enable us to identify key staff and stakeholders to gain their insights in subsequent tasks. We will conduct on-site meetings with City personnel identified from each of the following departments. Interviews will be conducted during one on-site day using a mix of individual and group formats to connect with a broad array of staff from each department. Citygate may also supplement our interviews with an electronic questionnaire provided to key staff with oversight of program and division areas to obtain specific feedback about staffing, service delivery, and cost of service. ¨ Development Services ¨ Public Works ¨ Police ¨ Internal Services (City Manager’s Office, Finance, Information Technology, City Clerk, Human Resources) ¨ Library & Recreation 2.2 Conduct Interviews with the City Council: Citygate’s Project Manager will be on-site to meet with City Council members. These interviews will permit us to gain their insights at the start of the review process and provide direction regarding specific issues needing focus. As necessary, pre-meeting information will be provided to interviewees by email or hard copy to allow for sufficient preparation. Assistance from City staff will be required in scheduling these meetings and providing interview/meeting rooms. 2.3 Post-Interviews Debrief with City Manager: At the conclusion of Citygate’s interviews, we propose a meeting between Citygate Project Manager and the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and assigned Project Manager to discuss initial themes and findings emerging from our document review and interviews and allow initial feedback on areas that may warrant deeper focus. This allows Citygate’s
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 12 consultants to spend their time most effectively on areas of greatest priority and need for the City. 2.4 Additional Stakeholder Engagement: As determined in conjunction with the City as part of a stakeholder engagement and communication plan, Citygate will employ additional stakeholder engagement strategies that may include on-site interviews, focus groups, and/or online surveys with a mix of internal and/or external stakeholders. Citygate will partner with City staff to effectively message information about the project to internal and external stakeholders. Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ On-site interviews and stakeholder engagement Task 3: Conduct Organizational Assessment 3.1 Conduct Comparable Agency Survey: We will conduct a comparable agency analysis that compares major policies, practices, and staffing by Department. We recommend surveying four to six agencies with a list of agencies that is jointly determined with the City. Citygate will require the assistance of City staff to forward questionnaires and/or online survey forms to other agencies for completion. 3.2 High-Level Assessment of Departmental Structure: ¨ Evaluate core departmental functions and processes for alignment with City Council goals and City priorities. ¨ Review reporting structures, roles, and responsibilities to identify redundancies, gaps, or inefficiencies. ¨ Analyze staffing levels, vacancies, and workload distribution to assess resource allocation and balance. 3.3 High-Level Assessment of Process and Efficiency: ¨ Assess the effectiveness of current human, financial, and technological resources in meeting departmental objectives. ¨ Identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks in key processes and recommend opportunities for improvement or cost savings.
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 13
3.4 High-Level Assessment of Reporting and Accountability: ¨ Recommend systems and tools to enhance accountability and maintain service quality across departments. 3.5 Assess High Priority Areas per Department ¨ As outlined in our scope of services, we will address the areas of specific emphasis and high priority for Development Services, Public Works, and Police, and areas of emphasis for other departments as determined throughout the project. Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ Comparable agency information for inclusion in Draft Report. ¨ Organizational findings and conclusions. Task 4: Present Draft Findings and Recommendations and Prepare Draft Report 4.1 Review Preliminary Findings with the City: We will share a summary of preliminary findings and recommendations during a Mid-Project Review with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Department leadership, and appointed Project Manager and discuss key service delivery and efficiency strategies before preparing the Draft Report. Since our recommendations may include changes to support and maintain new processes and procedures, it is important to create mutual understanding by involving City Executives and Department leaders before writing the Draft Report. 4.2 Determine Areas Needing Deeper Review: After the Mid-Project Review, Citygate will solicit City input on areas that warrant a deeper analysis or more focused implementation planning. Citygate will reserve approximately 40 consultant hours to conduct additional interviews and analysis before preparation of the Draft Report. 4.3 Prepare Draft Report and Review with City: We will then prepare a Draft Report that includes recommendations and the proposed implementation strategy for each Department. The report will be provided to appropriate City personnel, as determined by the City, to allow sufficient time for review and discussion of any areas that require further clarification or amplification. The written report will detail organizational capabilities; challenges; goals and objectives for maintaining and
City of Pleasanton, CA Proposal to Conduct a Citywide Organizational Assessment Section B—Citygate Approach, Scope, and Timelines Page 14 improving services; opportunities to decrease costs or increase revenues; and development of performance measures to quantify progress. The report will outline an Action Plan for implementation that addresses each of the areas discussed in our Work Plan, including: Ø Recommended organizational chart modifications and potential structural realignments. Ø Recommended optimal organizational models and staffing levels aligned with budgetary constraints. Ø Recommended process improvement strategies and streamlining recommendations. Ø Recommended training and cross-training strategies to enhance operations and support succession planning. Ø Recommended staffing and supervisory structure, including span of control and service line staffing ratios. Ø Explanation of mandated services the City currently must perform or plan to perform due to rollout of a future mandate. Ø A management effectiveness enhancement plan. Ø A cost-benefit analysis of all major recommendations (include areas for consolidation and/or specialist vendor contracting options). Our report will emphasize and focus on implementation. Our specific recommendations will be presented as a summarized Strategic Action Plan in tabular form beginning with a description of each proposed recommendation, followed by a priority ranking of their importance, a specific timeline for implementation, the benefits that are anticipated from implementing the recommendations, and then the identification of the individual or the entity that is to be held responsible and accountable for implementing the recommendation. Citygate Associates does not work off a long list of preconceived recommendations that are recycled from project to project. Each project is unique and approached with a clean slate. Citygate emphasizes the quality and implementability of its recommendations and the ability of our clients to use the recommendations in the report to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and satisfy their customers, residents, stakeholders, and interest groups. Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ Preliminary Findings and Recommendations.

Key Milestones/Deliverables: ¨ Final Report. ¨ Implementation Action Plan. B.6 LIVERMORE-PLEASANTON FIRE DEPARTMENT (LPFD) ASSESSMENT While the specific scope of services, timeline, and budget can be further customized in conjunction with the City, we propose to conduct an effectiveness and efficiency review of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department assessing staffing, headquarters programs, and overall organizational structure and costs to meet existing needs and published best practices. Not proposed or budgeted are any feasible major changes to the current provision of services within the JPA, nor a Standards of Coverage study. The Citygate Fire Department Project team is illustrated in our Project Team chart at the end of this section and will consist of three fire services specialists and analysis from our finance director and city management consultants supporting each department review. Our Fire Department assessments are typically performed in accordance with guidelines and best practices from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Insurance Services Office (ISO), relevant federal and state laws and regulations, and other recognized industry best practices. Citygate’s work will be independent, meeting the City’s unique needs, while utilizing nationally recognized guidelines and best practices, federal and state mandates, and our deep understanding of local and regional Bay Area fact patterns and operating practices. “We work with consultants, obviously, all the time, but the work that Citygate did on this report is some of the best I’ve seen in my tenure here.” -Mr. Walt Ekard Former San Diego County CAO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
November 4, 2025
Public Works - Utilities Division
TITLE: CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 21, 2025 - APPROVE THE LONG-TERM SEWER
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY
On June 17, 2025, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the City’s 2025 Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). At that time, the SSMP City Council Agenda Report identified under Next Steps that a long-term Sewer Capital Improvement Plan (Sewer CIP) would be prepared and presented to the City Council at a later date. This report presents that long-term sewer CIP, which includes prioritized projects over a 20-year span, under three distinct implementation scenarios.
A detailed resource review and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) requirements to properly implement the SSMP, which was also identified as a next step in the SSMP Staff Report of June 17, 2025, is currently under development and will be presented at a future City Council meeting. The City will also be conducting a sewer rate study and sewer connection fee study that will utilize the results of the SSMP, including this CIP, to calculate and recommend increases to user rates and connection fees for City Council consideration in 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Continued from October 21, 2025 - Approve the Long-Term Sewer Capital Improvement Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City owns and operates a sewer collection system that consists of approximately 253 miles of gravity sewers, approximately 4.9 miles of force mains, 8 siphons, 11 active pump stations, and approximately 21,000 service connections. The average dry weather flow is approximately 6 million gallons per day (MGD). The City has agreements with Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) and City of Livermore (for Ruby Hill service area) for wastewater treatment and is a member of Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) for treated wastewater disposal. The City also has agreements with Alameda County that allow sewage flows from the Castlewood Service Area to be transported through the City’s collection system for treatment at DSRSD.
The City has developed a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) that is a living document to guide management of its sewer collection system. As a regulatory-mandated document, the SSMP covers nearly all management aspects, including Element 8, System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvements. The City hired a consultant, Woodard & Curran, to prepare this long-term Sewer CIP (Attachment 1) as well as two key studies that informed the development of the Sewer CIP: the sewer system capacity evaluation and the facility condition assessments.
The studies evaluated both the system capacity (ability to convey sewage flows) and the condition of the infrastructure (most, but not all assets), which are used to convey sewage.
Generally speaking, with just a few exceptions, the system capacity (size of piping and pump stations) is robust and is able to convey current and future predicted sewage flows. Some up- sizing of piping is needed to support future development.
The assessment of the condition of assets is more complicated. While systems remain operationally reliable, they are beginning to degrade with age and are nearing the end of their useful life. A recent unexpected severe sewer line collapse at Danker Rd where approximately 300 feet of sewer pipes failed is one of several conditions that show signs of aged infrastructure and the need for capital improvement and replacement. Over the next 20 years, replacement and rehabilitation projects will be needed to renew piping and pumping systems to extend the useful life of the conveyance systems and maintain reliability. More studies are needed of the piping systems, including significant closed-caption television (CCTV) analysis, to develop a complete picture of asset conditions.
DISCUSSION
The purpose of the City’s long-term Sewer CIP is to ensure the sustainability of the City’s sewer system infrastructure and determine funding needs. The long-term CIP is a living plan that is reviewed on a two-year cycle to evaluate implementation progress and updated on a six-year cycle to reflect any changes in drivers and needs. Development of the long-term CIP is based on technical evaluations that include condition assessments and system capacity assessments. The long-term CIP includes prioritized projects with cost estimates over a 20- year span.
The long-term Sewer CIP consists of a list of recommended projects that fall within the major categories listed below:
• Capacity & Reliability Improvement Projects
• Lift Station Projects
• Condition Assessment Projects.
Each recommended project was prioritized based on the following system:
• Priority Level A – The highest priority projects in need of immediate repair/replacement because of imminent failure, or safety hazard. Includes critical infrastructure that could result in a sewage spill if left unaddressed, or that does not meet the City’s current hydraulic design criteria. This priority level also includes inspection of critical assets missing condition data, so the extent of any future rehabilitation or replacement needs can be determined.
• Priority Level B – The midterm priority projects, defined as projects in need of near-term repair/replacement because of deteriorating/poor condition. This priority level also includes assumptions about asset replacement/rehabilitation identified as part of the inspection performed in priority level A.
• Priority Level C – The lowest priority projects. These include work anticipated based on assumed asset conditions, but the scope and schedules of these projects are not defined. This priority level also includes the re-inspection and condition assessment of
critical infrastructure.
Development of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes three phased implementation scenarios that will guide the rate-setting process by balancing annual spending requirements with the risks associated with project deferrals. These scenarios were developed based on the system needs identified in the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).
The three implementation scenarios: Maintain, No Deferral, and Maximum Deferral, represent varying levels of investment in the City’s wastewater collection system.
Each scenario reflects a different approach to maintaining sewer service reliability, rehabilitating aging infrastructure, improving system performance, and meeting State regulatory requirements for sanitary sewer systems.
As part of the next phase of the financial plan analysis, the delivery of these scenarios will inform potential rate revenue adjustments and capital financing strategies, including the consideration of debt financing. The purpose of this analysis is to ensure the sewer enterprise continues to meet its financial performance targets, fund essential infrastructure improvements, and support the selected SSMP CIP implementation alternative.
Staff plans to present the results of the financial plan analysis to the City Council in November.
At that time, staff will seek City Council direction on selecting the preferred scenario that best aligns with the City’s financial capacity, infrastructure needs, and regulatory compliance obligations.
See Attachment 2 for summary of all expenditure scenarios. The three scenarios are:
• Scenario 1 (Maintain) - Offers a balanced approach, deferring some projects while aiming to reduce the backlog of gravity sewer with major defects. Requires 2 to 3 additional staff starting in FY 2026-27, managing an average of $8.4 million annually.
Staffing requirements increase to four during FY 2031-32 and FY 2032-33 to complete major pipeline and lift station work. The scenario targets full repair/replacement of pipes with existing major defects by FY 2030-31. This scenario requires more than double the City’s current capital spending. The total funding expenditure is $130,800,000 in net present value.
• Scenario 2 (No Deferrals) - Minimizes the City’s risk by proactively investing in rehabilitation and replacement of high-risk assets. Requires three to four additional staff in the first 10 years to manage up to $15 million annually. The staffing requirement decreases to two in the long term, managing an average of $6.5 million annually. This scenario aims to eliminate the backlog of pipes with severe defects by FY 2029-30. The upfront spending in the next 10 years would present significant implementation challenges due to the volume of work. The total funding expenditure is $139,200,000 in net present value.
• Scenario 3 (Maximum Deferrals) - Defers projects to give the City more time to ramp up its capital spending program and hire additional staff. In doing so, this scenario presents the highest risk, since high priority projects are deferred into the long term. Requires two to three additional staff over the 20-year span. Aims to maintain or reduce the current backlog of pipes with major defects by replacing one mile of pipe per year starting in FY
2027-28. The total funding expenditure is $125,700,000 in net present value.
Once the Sewer CIP is approved, the City's SSMP will be updated to incorporate the report by reference in accordance with California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) procedures.
EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The Sewer CIP, as a component of the SSMP, includes preparing community water resources for a changing climate, which will result in cost savings, enhanced water quality, improved infrastructure, and increased resiliency.
OUTREACH
No outreach was specifically conducted for development of the Sewer CIP, as this is a routine matter of City business. However, outreach globally for the SSMP will occur as described in Element 11 (Communication Program) in the SSMP.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Approval of this action advances the Citywide ONE Pleasanton strategic goal of Investing in our Environment, Strategy 8 – Update the Sewer System Master Plan to reflect current and future operations and identify system improvements and necessary maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item has no fiscal impact. Preparation of the Capital Improvement Plan was funded by CIP 16245 (Sewer Capacity Evaluation Project) and CIP 22289 (Sewer System Management Plan).

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The City of Pleasanton (City) adopts operating and capital budgets (budgets) through an ongoing two-year budget process and adopts a five -year capital improvement program (CIP). This report focuses on what capital programs the City requires to maintain a high level of service for their sanitary sewer system. For the purposes of this report a high level of service is defined by:
• System reliability and resilience – Keeping the sewer system in good condition and avoiding sanitary sewer spills due to condition related issues.
• Capacity Management – Maintaining a sewer network that can meet the City’s capacity standards for both existing and future development flows without risk of SSOs. • Regulatory Compliance – Meeting all state and federal requirements for sewer system management.
• Duration of Service Interruptions – If service is interrupted, ensuring that the City has the capacity to respond quickly.
In addition to this CIP Implementation document, the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP), prepared in compliance with the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems (WDR), describes the City’s ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M) and condition assessment programs and other related aspects of its management of the sanitary sewer system. The SSMP supplements this CIP document and is the basis for estimating O&M budgetary needs for the sewer system.
Several speci fic contractor or engineering support O&M programs, developed by City Staff, have been included in this plan to capture expected costs, especially where they may tie in with future capital improvement work.
1.1 Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the City’s long -term capital improvement plan (CIP) is to ensure sustainability of the City’s sewer system infrastructure and determine funding needs. The long-term CIP is a living plan that is reviewed on a 2-year cycle to evaluate implementation progress and updated on a 6-year cycle to reflect any changes in drivers and needs. Development of the long -term CIP is based on technical evaluations that include condition and system capacity assessments. The long -term CIP includes prioritized pro jects with cost estimates over a 20-year span. The long-term CIP is developed in coordination with Utilities Division O&M staff and Engineering Division staff. The City’s Engineering Division is responsible for implementing CIP projects. Engineering will u tilize the long-term CIP as a guide for developing its 5 -Year CIP budget that is updated every 2 years.
Section 1 of this report defines the assets within the sanitary sewer system, Section 2 describes the program evaluations performed to develop the project recommendations, Section 3 describes cost estimating assumptions for projects identified by the program evaluations, and Section 4 describes several 20 -year capital improvement plan investment scenarios for the City to consider.

1.2 Plan Updates
In order to maintain a plan that is in line with the City’s goals, funding levels, and project backlog, it is recommended that the following components of this plan are updated on an ongoing basis:
• Review cycle (2-year per CIP budget cycle).
o Evaluate project completion, prioritization, funding, progress toward capital project implementation.
o Reassess near-term project priorities and annual budget constraints. • Update cycle (6-year per SSMP update cycle).
o Evaluate/update per WDR/SSMP requirements.
1.3 Existing Wastewater Collection System
The City is located in southern Alameda County and covers approximately 25 square miles. The City’s sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 258 miles of pipe, ranging from 4 to 42 inches in diameter, and 11 pumping stations. The majority of the sys tem discharges to the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) located on Johnson Drive. The DSRSD plant has a design capacity of 8.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of dry weather flow allocated to the City of Pleasanton.
The Ruby Hills development in the far southeastern part of the city discharges to the Livermore Water Reclamation Plant in accordance with the Interjurisdictional Agreement between the two cities. The City also has an agreement with Alameda County that allows sewage flows from its Castlewood Service Area to be transported through the City’s collection system for treatment at DSRSD.
Four City trunk sewer pipelines are tributary to the DSRSD WWTF: the Highland Oaks trunk sewer, which services the northwestern portion of the City; the East Amador Trunk Sewer (EATS, also known as the Cross- Town Interceptor), which services the northeaste rn and northern portions of the City; Lift Station 6 (LS -6) force main, which conveys flow from the central and eastern portions of the City; and the Lift Station 8 (LS- 8) force main, which conveys flow from the southern portion of the City. The City’s sewer network is shown in Figure 1-1, and serves as the extent of this study.

1.3.1 Sewer Collection Pipelines
As described in section 1.3, the City’s sewer system consists of approximately 258 miles of pipes. These pipes include gravity sewer pipes, sewer siphons, and force mains. Gravity sewer pipes make up the majority of the collection system (~98% of the system), with force mains located downstream of the City’s 11 lift stations, and siphons located at Creek/Arroyo or highway crossings. A summary of gravity sewer pipe materials, ages, and diameters are included below in Tables 1 through 3 . Additional information on the City’s 8 siphons is shown in Table 1-1, and information on the City’s force mains are shown in Section 1.3.2 Table 1-6 since they are all associated with one of the City’s lift stations.

1.3.2 Sewer Lift Stations
The City of Pleasanton owns and operates eleven (11) sewer lift stations throughout its wastewater collection system. The collection system discharges to the Dublin San Ramon Services District Wastewater Treatment Plant (DSRSD WWTP). Figure 1-2 below displays the location of the 11 wastewater lift stations in relation to the DSRSD WWTF.
While the oldest station was installed in 1968, the stations were primarily constructed in the 1980s and early 2000s, and several stations have also been more recently upgraded. The lift stations have two general configurations: three (3) are dry-pit stations and the remaining eight (8) are wet pit stations with submersible pumps. The sizes of the pumps varies from 2 to 60 horsepower (HP) and total station capacity ranges between 0.4 MGD and 7.6 MGD. A summary of lift station installation dates, size, firm capacity, and standby generator size is included in Table 1-5. Table 1-6 includes information on the force mains to which each lift station discharges.
In addition to the City’s lift stations, the East Amador Lift Station (EALS), which is owned and operated by DSRSD, conveys flow from the City of Pleasanton to the DSRSD WWTF. Although DSRSD is responsible for the condition assessment and implementation of improvements needed to this lift station, the City is responsible for funding these improvements. An allocation for those costs has been included in the long - term CIP. EALS is not listed in Tables 5 and 6 since it is not owned by the City of Pleasanton.

1.3.3 Private Laterals and Systems
Sewer service laterals are owned by the property owner and therefore are the responsibility of the property owner to maintain. The City will not service, repair, rehabilitate, or replace any portion of sewer service laterals from the building to the public sewer main.
1.3.4 Wastewater Treatment
The City has agreements with DSRSD and City of Livermore (for Ruby Hill area only) for wastewater treatment and is a member of the Livermore -Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) for treated wastewater disposal. The City does not own or operate any of their own treatment facilities.

2. SEWER SYSTEM PROGRAM EVALUATIONS
As part of the Sewer System Capacity and Condition Assessment, a condition assessment of the City’s gravity sewer network and sewer lift stations was conducted. These assessments determined the City’s near -term, mid-term, and long-term rehabilitation and replacement needs for each asset. A capacity analysis was also performed using the City’s hydraulic model of its sanitary sewer system, InfoWorks ICMTM. These findings identified pipes that were predicted to be undersized under both existing and future sewe r flow scenarios.
The following sections describe these assessments in more detail and present their findings.
2.1 Gravity Sewer Condition Assessment
The City performs closed -circuit television (CCTV) inspections of its gravity mains up to 15 inches in diameter. The CCTV data was coded based on National Association of Sewer Services Companies (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification System (PACP) sta ndards. As part of the condition assessment process, this inspection data is evaluated for the purposes of identifying CIP projects. The latest evaluation was completed in November 2024 by Woodard & Curran for pipes inspected and coded through June 2024. In total, 424,370 linear feet (or about 30 percent of the City-owned pipes in the gravity collection system) had CCTV data and defect scoring that could be utilized for a risk -based assessment. InfoAsset PlannerTM risk assessment software was used to devel op likelihood of failure (LOF), consequence of failure (COF), and corresponding risk scores for each pipe in the system.
LOF scoring was based on primarily structural condition information from the CCTV data and also included a “structural vulnerability” factor reflecting the age and material of the pipe (also used as a preliminary surrogate for structural condition for pipe s without CCTV data), and frequency of required cleaning (“hot spots”) factor. COF scoring considered the pipe size (reflecting its potential flow volume), environmental consequence (e.g., proximity to storm drain inlets or Waters of the State), the type o f road type in which the sewer was located (reflecting the impact to the public and difficulty of repair), and community impact (proximity to commercial areas and public facilities).
A risk-matrix weighting system was applied to each pipe’s LOF and COF score to determine an overall risk priority (very low, low, medium, or high) for each pipe. See Figure 2-1 for a map of risk priority for pipes in the system. In addition to the risk analysis, gravity sewers were assigned a rehabilitation and replacement (R&R) action based on an R&R decision process which analyzed pipes based on the quantity and types of structural defects present in the pipe. Based on this process, pipes with major defects (PACP grade 4 or 5 structural defects) are assigned a defect repair, full pipe lining, or pipe replacement R&R decision. Gravity sewers with no major defects were identified for continued preventive maintenance, and gravity sewers without CCTV data were assigned a CCTV priority. Based on the risk score and R&R decision for each gravity sewer pipe, recommendations for capital improvement projects were identified for inclusion i n the City’s long-term CIP.

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
Due to the limited CCTV data available (~30% of the system), assumptions were made for the long -term CIP about the total number of pipes that would require near -term R&R while the City completes its CCTV inspections. It was assumed that the same proportion of pipes identified for R&R in the 2025 condition assessment would apply to the rest of the system (e.g. if 10 pipes were identified in 2025 with an R&R decision because of defects present in the pipes, about 23 pipes would require an R&R decision in the portion of the system without CCTV data). This assumption will be revisited once the CCTV inspection of the system is completed, and the gravity condition assessment is updated based on the additional inspections.
2.2 Lift Station Condition Assessment
Lift stations are regularly inspected by operators and the findings recorded on the City’s lift station inspection forms. The lift stations also underwent an engineering assessment as part of the long -term CIP process. The engineering assessment was completed in January 2025 by Woodard & Curran. The evaluation process included an initial review of record drawings and miscellaneous documents followed by onsite inspections and assessments of each station’s configuration, process condition, mechanical conditio n, observed structural condition, safety, operations and maintenance issues, electrical facilities, and overall long-term reliability. In addition, Woodard & Curran coordinated with City staff for input on which lift stations present the highest risk in te rms of day-to-day operations. The assessment also incorporated the findings and recommendations of a separate generator study completed by TJC and Associates.
During the inspection of each lift station, issues were highlighted that may warrant additional attention or future improvements. For each facility, these identified issues were given numerical criticality (1 = Fair/Good, 2 = Poor, 3 = Crucial) and categor ized into six (6) groups: Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Site, and Health & Safety. Recommended lift station improvements based on the results of the lift station condition assessments were prioritized and have been scheduled in the City’s lo ng-term CIP. Additional assumptions about future lift station rehabilitation were also included in the long -term CIP based on the ages and criticality of each lift station. These rehabilitation assumptions represent high level electrical, mechanical, process, health and safety, and minor site upgrades that are needed based on the age of the lift station.
2.3 Sewer Capacity Evaluation
A sewer system capacity evaluation was conducted by Woodard & Curran in 2024; the analysis used a calibrated all-pipes model of the City’s sewer network to determine if any pipelines did not meet the City’s capacity criteria. The model was developed in Inf oworks ICM TM and used water billing data from 2017 through 2021 (with 2020 being omitted due to its assumed irregular water usage due to COVID19 stay -at- home orders) as the basis for existing base wastewater flows. The model was calibrated to flow meters installed at several different locations across the sewer network. This calibrated data was the basis for the dry weather flow scenarios that would be used in the capacity evaluation. For wet weather, a 25-year design storm was chosen based on City input th at closely matched a large storm event that occurred during the flow monitoring period. This design storm served as the basis for the wet weather flow scenarios that would be used in the capacity evaluation.
The capacity criteria used for the evaluation specified that sewers should flow no more than ¾ full under peak dry weather conditions and water level in manholes should rise no higher than to 3 feet below ground (freeboard) under a design peak wet weather flow condition. Under existing sewer flows, no sewers in the
City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 2-4 Woodard & Curran, Inc.
Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
City’s network were found to be capacity deficient under dry weather flow conditions. However, two locations exceeded the City’s freeboard criteria under wet weather conditions. Several alternatives were developed to alleviate the capacity issues and were presented to the City. A preferred alternative for each capacity project was selected based on a combination of cost, construction feasibility, and engineering judgment. The preferred alternatives were added to the City’s near-term CIP.
Future developments were added to the model by combining data from the 2020 Tri-Valley Demand Study1, data from the City’s Housing Element developed by the City’s Community Development Department (CDD), and several East Pleasanton Specific Plan (EPSP) projects located near or outside the City’s existing urban growth boundary. This list was updated again with the latest Housing Element developed by the CDD in 2022. These planned projects that will likely be constructed in the near-term (within approximately 10 years), so any capacity issues caused by the additional developments need to be accounted for in the City’s long - term CIP. Flow factors were assigned to single family, multi-family, and non-residential developments based on factors derived from the water billing data, and the additional flow added was used to create the future development scenario.
As with the existing sewer loads analysis, dry and wet weather scenarios were modeled using the future loads to determine if any new capacity issues were caused by the increased flow. The same capacity deficiency criteria were applied for future flow conditions, However, in cases where future peak wet weather flows would result in any surcharge (flow exceeding full pipe capacity) due solely to future development, then the City specified that capacity relief would be required before any new development could be connected to the system. Once again, no sewers in the City’s network were found to be capacity deficient under dry weather flow conditions. However, two locations exceeded the City’s capacity criteria under wet weather conditions due solely to the addi tional flows added by the future developments, and alternatives were developed to add additional capacity. The preferred capacity alternatives for the future load conditions were added to the City’s CIP.
2.4 SCADA Master Plan (West Yost)
A separate planning study was performed by West Yost analyzing the City’s SCADA system in addition to the Water and Sewer Master Plans. The report focuses on equipment, preventive maintenance, and cyber security of the City’s existing SCADA system. The mos t applicable recommendation from the TM included in the long-term CIP is the upgrade of lift station remote terminal units (RTUs), which integrate the stations with the City’s SCADA system. No specific projects were included for RTU upgrades in the long-term CIP, but these costs were assumed to be included as part of the mid - and long-term lift station rehabilitation work.
2.5 Energy Master Plan (West Yost)
West Yost also completed an Energy Master Plan which evaluated and recommended mitigation measures related to system resilience and renewable energy . Specific projects were recommended as part of this report focusing on use of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), microgrids, time-of-use management (TOU), as well as process control strategies to evaluate energy optimization. These strategies were recommended at several of the lift stations to improve reliability and resiliency. Similar to the SCADA upgrades, no specific

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
projects were included from the Energy Master Plan in the long-term CIP, but these costs were assumed to be included as part of the mid- and long-term lift station rehabilitation work.
2.6 Generator Report (TJC)
A separate generator report was prepared for the City in addition to the sewer lift station condition assessment. The goal of the report was to identify which pump/lift stations (including water, sewer, and storm) were most critical to the City and, in turn, recommend a reliable backup power source based on each asset’s priority. Priority was based on system importance with the most critical assets receiving a recommendation for stationary generators located at the lift stations to allow the station to run even if power was lost for up to 24 hours. Less robust systems were recommended for less critical assets. Costs for these upgrades to the sewer and storm drain lift station are included in the CIP (water pump station generator upgrades are captured in the water system long-term CIP).
2.7 Future Evaluation Efforts
While the physical condition of most gravity sewers can be determined with standard CCTV inspections, several asset types require special considerations/techniques to determine their condition. This section presents several proposed methods for the conditi on assessment of large diameter trunk sewer pipelines, siphons, and force mains. Although these assets account for a small overall percentage of the system, their operation is critical to maintaining the City’s current level of service.
2.7.1 Large Diameter Trunk Sewer Condition Assessment
The City does not currently have CCTV inspection data for their trunk sewers (considered to be any gravity sewer larger than 15 inches). These pipes are primarily located upstream of EALS, LS -8, and LS -6. Trunk sewers are typically more difficult to inspect than smaller diameter gravity sewers due to higher flow levels in the pipe. The additional flow can obscure view of the pipe wall, potentially causing inspection to miss defects in the pipe. Other issues include potential debris buildup in the pipe as grease and sediment deposit along the trunk line. In order to inspect these pipes, it is recommended that trunk sewers be inspected during nighttime hours, when the flow levels in the pipes are lowest, approximately 25 to 50 percent full based on hydraulic modeling results. During lower flow conditions like this, standard CCTV equipment could be used, and no flow bypass or flow plugs would be required. If significant flow or debris is present in the pipe, optional sonar measurements could be used to get a sense of the level of debris and condition under the water surface if pre-cleaning cannot remove the debris.
Additionally, sewer trunk manholes are recommended for detailed inspection. Sewer trunk manholes are generally more prone to failure from Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC) than typical gravity sewer manholes due to the higher likelihood of hydrogen sulfide present in trunk sewers compared to typical small diameter gravity sewers. Surface level visual observation could be used to inspect the manholes walls as part of th is assessment. However, surface level inspection often provides limited informatio n on the condition of the concrete in the lower sections of the trunk manholes where corrosion is more likely to be visible. Therefore, a more detailed man -entry or televised inspection is recommen ded, especially if MIC is noted in the pipe or manhole. It is recommended that a manhole inspection based on NASSO Manhole Assessment Certification Program (MACP) level 2 inspection be performed along the trunk sewer if manhole corrosion is a concern.
City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 2-6 Woodard & Curran, Inc.
Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
The City’s system also includes a large diameter trunk, the East Amador Relief Sewer (EARS), that is not currently in use but could be used as an alternative/in addition to the EALS trunk sewer and lift station if some modifications are made to the system. The EARS trunk could provide a backup flow path while rehabilitation work is performed on the EALS line (if required), or a new lift station could be installed to supplement the EALS trunk and lift station. Analysis of these alternatives will require inspection of the EARS line and additional hydraulic modeling to determine the project’s feasibility. An analysis of the EALS and EARS capacity and condition assessment has been added to the CIP. As part of this effort an optional predesign for EARS could be conducted if the EALS lift station and/or trunk are found to be in poor condition and extensive rehabilitation is required.
For the long -term CIP, it is assumed a specialty CCTV contractor would be hired to perform the large diameter trunk sewer and manhole inspections. A follow -up condition assessment using the same methodology outlined in the Gravity Sewer Condition Assessment would be used to determine if any rehabilitation or replacement of trunk sewers or manholes was required. For the purposes of the long-term CIP, several segments of pipe rehabilitation of the trunk sewer were assumed. This placeholder cost represents eit her several pipe segment replacements or a pipe lining projects but these costs are not sufficient for extensive rehabilitation of the trunk mains if they are found to be in poor condition. Based on the findings of the future condition assessment, assumption s for trunk sewer rehabilitation costs will be revisited and updated as needed.
2.7.2 Sewer Siphon Condition Assessment
The City does not currently have CCTV inspection data for any of its sewer siphons. Siphons are also more difficult to inspect than smaller diameter gravity sewers since they flow full during typical operation, requiring the siphon to be drained prior to CCTV inspection. Also, due to the geometry of siphons, siphons can accumulate significant amounts of debris, further complicating inspections. Some siphons may also not be possible to inspect if the access points and the geometry of the pipe make it impossible to start/recover the CCTV camera. In these cases, sonar data could be used to determine if defects are present in the pipe (although this data will not be in NASSCO PACP format).
It is assumed that specialty CCTV contractors would be hired to perform all siphon inspections. Siphon inspections would need to occur at night while the system flows are lowest. The siphon would be plugged, dewatered, and inspected in a single night. A follow-up condition assessment using the same methodology outlined in the Gravity Sewer Condition Assessment would be used to determine if any rehabilitation or replacement of sewer siphons would be required.
2.7.3 Force Main Condition Assessment
Similar to sewer siphons, inspecting force mains is typically challenging because they operate under full flow conditions and cannot easily be dewatered, making standard CCTV inspection infeasible. Additionally, access points are often limited, further complicating the inspection process. To address these issues and focus future condition assessment efforts, the City will also include an engineering evaluation as part of its long-term CIP process. The evaluation will first include a desktop assessment of th e force mains, which will include a review of pipe attributes (alignment, age, material, etc.), geotechnical conditions in the proximity of the force mains, pump cycling data, and break history. This analysis will help identify feasible and appropriate inspection methods for each force main.
City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 2-7 Woodard & Curran, Inc.
Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
The inspections will be prioritized based on the same types of factors used for gravity pipe risk assessment.
The force main inspections may include visual assessment of pipe alignments, inspection of discharge manholes, ultrasonic pipe thickness testing if feasible/appropriate, and actual internal CCTV inspection or other technology to assess pipe condition if possible . Any force mains that can be CCTV inspected (or partially inspected) may be added to the gravity pipe CCTV inspection program to be conduct ed by contractors. Once available, needed improvements based on the results of the condition assessments will be prioritized and scheduled into the City’s long-term capital improvement plan as appropriate.
2.7.4 Asset Management Plan
The City is currently in the process of developing a City -wide asset management program. As part of this program the sewer utility will need to develop its approach to asset management that integrates with the City’s overall asset management plan.
2.7.5 Cathodic Protection and Installation and I/I Studies The City plans to perform an inventory and assess the effectiveness of its cathodic protection along pipeline and lift stations. Corrosion can drastically reduce the expected useful life of both lift station components and metallic pipes. To address this, the City has also allocated funding in the near, mid, and long term to install new cathodic protection systems following the study.
In addition, high I/I can significantly increase wet weather flows in sewer mains and may contribute to spills, so the City may perform further investigations in areas prone to higher I/I.

3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
In this section, the projects identified in Section 2 are analyzed based on system importance, regulatory requirements, and City goals to determine their project priority. A brief description of all projects, their priorities, and their relative costs are also included in this Section.
3.1 Project Prioritization
• Priority Level A: the highest priority projects, defined as projects in need of immediate repair/replacement because of imminent failure, or safety hazard. Critical infrastructure that could result in a sewer spill if left unaddressed, or not meeting the City’s current hydraulic design criteria.
This priority level also includes inspection of critical assets missing condition data so the extent of any future rehabilitation or replacement needs can be determined. • Priority Level B: the medium priority projects, defined as projects in need of near -term, repair/replacement because of deteriorating/poor condition. This priority level also includes assumptions about asset replacement/rehabilitation identified as part of the inspection performed in priority level A.
• Priority Level C: the lowest priority projects , these projects include work anticipated based on assumed asset condition but the scope and schedules of these projects are not defined. This priority also includes the re-inspection and condition assessment of critical infrastructure.
3.2 Cost Estimating Assumptions
3.2.1 Capital Costs
Recent bid tabs, vendor quotes, City staff input, and Woodard & Curran’s institutional knowledge have been used to establish the estimated costs for the repair, replacement, rehabilitation , inspection, and analysis recommendations identified in the long-term CIP. All capital costs shown include a 30 percent construction contingency and 30 percent allowance for engineering, administration, and legal costs per the Association of the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Class 4 standards and City preference. The costs provided are in November 2024 dollars with no escalation or inflation applied. These estimates are subject to change and will be further refined at the design stage.
3.2.2 Operation and Maintenance Costs
The operation and maintenance (O&M) programs identified align with Element 8 of the SSMP. Cost estimates for these programs were provided by City staff. These costs reflect work performed by contractors or engineers supporting the City on specific projects and do not include typical day-to-day O&M expenses or internal staff resources. A detailed list of O&M costs will be developed by City staff and is not included in this report.
3.2.3 Engineering Resources
To support the implementation of capital improvement projects recommended in the long -term CIP, additional staffing will be required. For planning purposes, it was assumed that one additional full -time equivalent (FTE) staff member would be needed for every $4 to $5 million in annual capital project spending.
City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 3-2 Woodard & Curran, Inc.
Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
These FTEs are not assumed to be permanent positions and may be phased out if capital project workloads decrease.
3.3 Priority A Projects and Costs
The following sections describe the Priority A projects broken out by their program category. Each section gives a brief rational for why these assets received a Priority A rating and summarizes the costs shown in the long-term CIP (see Section 4).
3.3.1 Gravity Sewer R&R
Seven high risk pipes received a rehabilitation/replacement action based on the results of the gravity condition assessment. These pipes all have at least one severe structural defect (NASSCO PACP grade 4 or 5), which NASSCO defines as a pipe that will fai l in the near -term or has already failed. Based on these results, these pipes were assigned to priority A as near-term replacement/rehabilitation recommendations.
These pipes have a variety of preliminary rehabilitation recommendations based on the defects present in each pipe, but for simplicity they are presented as a single line item in the CIP. A detailed recommendation of each pipe’s specific R&R action can be found in the Pleasanton Sewer Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation/Replacement Recommendations technical memorandum. Additional costs for pavement and sidewalk replacement were also included under the “ Annual Sewer Collection System Improvements for Resurfacing”.
Funding in this line item may also be used to rehabilitate or repair large diameter sewer mains, sewer siphons, and force mains. As noted in Section 2.7 the condition of these assets is currently unknown and is expected to be assessed over the next 3 to 5 years. If any of these assets are found to be in poor condition, this funding can support near -term rehabilitation efforts. Total funding allocations for both gravity sewers and other asset classes will be re-evaluated during the next sewer rate study, scheduled for 2030.
Also included in this line item is the CCTV inspection cost for high priority gravity mains identified in the condition assessment analysis. These pipes received a high risk priority based on their age, material, cleaning frequency, and COF factors ( See Section 2.1 for additional details), and their actual condition should be determined in the near-term so an analysis of any defects present can be performed. A summary of pipeline R&R costs as well as costs for inspection of the high priority CCTV pipes without inspection data are shown below in Table 3-1.
An additional condition project was included based on City staff feedback. The Amberwood Siphon has been noted to be in poor condition and there is concern that it is capacity deficient, and unable to convey flows under Arroyo Mocho. If this siphon failed or became clogged, it could lead to SSOs in the residential neighborhood upstream of the siphon and it is therefore considered high priority. A preliminary cost has been included in Table 3-1.

3.3.2 Lift Station Improvements
As part of the lift station condition assessment, recommendations for lift station rehabilitation were classified as one of three different criticality levels:
• Criticality 3 – the most severe criticality, was defined as Repair/replace immediately because of imminent failure or a safety hazard.
• Criticality 2 – was defined as Schedule repair/replacement because the equipment is at or exceeds its useful life or failure would cause operations or safety problems. • Criticality 1 – the least critical, was defined as Repair or replace as part of a long -term program because the equipment is inefficient, worn and nearing its useful life, or is failing but is not crucial to operation or safety.
Based on these definitions, all criticality 2 and 3 recommendations were considered Priority A projects. These recommendations included rehabilitation actions for all 11 of the lift stations and range from pulling wires and cutting conduits flush with finished floor to avoid trip hazards to a full lift station replacement (LS-5). A detailed list of recommended rehabilitation actions are included in the Sewer Lift Station Assessment . A summary of the priority A lift station costs is shown in Table 3-2.
An additional line item for a condition and capacity assessment of the existing East Amador lift station was assigned Priority A. Based on the most recent capacity assessment, EALS is currently undersized to accommodate the modeled peak wet weather flow s. This analysis would allow the City to determine the scope of future improvements required at the lift station . This line item also includes capacity assessment and predesign work for East Amador Relief Sewer (EARS) force main and lift station. This station would operate in tandem with EALS and give the City additional flexibility and redundancy when moving flows from the Eastern sewer shed to the WWTF.

3.3.3 Sewer Inspection/Condition Assessment
As described in Section 2.7, the City will be collecting additional inspection data on gravity sewers, trunk sewers, sewer siphons, and force mains as part of the long-term CIP to determine what, if any, rehabilitation is required for these assets. Due to the criticality and unknown condition of these assets, the inspection and condition assessment work was considered priority A. If one or more of these asset classes are shown to be in poor condition, it may result in significant changes to the mid-term and long-term CIP. A summary of the costs for these inspections and condition assessments are shown in Table 3-3.

Force Main Desktop Analysis and Inspections Included in the near- term capital budget $704,000
3.3.4 Sewer Capacity Improvements
All four capacity projects identified by capacity evaluation (see Section 2.3) were considered priority A projects. Delaying these projects increases the risk of sewer spills, particularly for the projects triggered by existing sewer loads during wet weather conditions. For the projects triggered by future loads, the capacity improvements would ideally be constructed in tandem with the development, increasing the sewer capacity as additional flows are added to the system. Since these projects (Kiewit , Arroyo Lago, and the Stoneridge Mall developments specifically) are assumed to be starting construction in the next 5 -years, these projects received a Priority A ratin g. However, this assumption should be reassessed if these future developments are delayed. Furthermore, funding for capacity improvement projects caused by future developments is assumed to be almost entirely paid for by future development. A summary of the capacity projects and their cost to existing and future customers is shown below in Table 3-4.

3.3.5 Other Projects
3.3.5.1 Generator Upgrades/Replacements
Based on the TJC generator report, various sewer and storm drain lift stations received a backup generator recommendation based on the criticality of the facility. These generators would allow assets to continue to function even when power is cut to the facility. To he lp increase the resiliency of the City’s lift stations, the generator upgrade recommendations were assigned to Priority A. However, less critical assets identified by TJC could be moved to Priority B if funding is unavailable. A summary of the costs for th e generator upgrades for sewer and stormwater lift stations is shown in Table 3-5.
1 The $222,275 project cost attributed to existing customers represents funds collected by the City from the Kiewit development through its sewer connection fee. These funds will be reserved for future East Pleasanton Capacity Improvement projects, specifically for upsizing or installing new sewer infrastructure to accommodate additional flow.
Future developments in the East Pleasanton area will share the cost of these capacity improvements proportionally, based on the volume of flow each adds to the system. A preliminary capacity project, Capacity Project 4, was developed using the latest land use proposals from the Arroyo Lago, Amazon, East Lakes, and Site H developers. However, this project is subject to change depending on the final scope and timing of the developments.
An assumed cost split for Capacity Project 4 is shown based on the anticipated timing of each development’s connection to the system.

3.3.5.2 SCADA Upgrades
SCADA upgrades including programmable logic controller (PLC) modifications will be installed at each sewer lift station, where appropriate, during the lift station rehabilitation (or replacement in the case of LS - 5). Costs for SCADA upgrades are captured i n the “LS Major Rehabilitation” line item included for each lift station. This line item also includes other programmed improvements such as pump rehabilitation/replacement, valves maintenance/replacement, conduits replacement, electrical panels maintenance/replacement, motor control replacement, etc.
3.4 Priority B Projects
Priority B projects include additional rehabilitation and replacement recommendations for pipes in poor condition selected based on the inspected condition, as well as less critical lift station improvements. Major projects included in Priority B include:
• East Amador Lift Station & East Amador Relief Sewer Improvements – The City of Pleasanton may be required to fund capacity upgrades at EALS based on the additional future developments proposed in the East Pleasanton area. The station will likely require general rehabilitation and modernization in addition to possible capacity improvements. The scope of these improvements will be determined by a future condition assessment and detailed capacity study. This study will also determine the benefits, scope, and s ize of an EARS lift station and force main . An EARS lift station would allow the City to have greater flexibility and redundancy, creating a new flow path to the WWTF for sewer flows from the eastern side of the City. This additional flow path would allow EALS to be taken out of service if extensive rehabilitation of the trunk sewer or lift station is required. • Major Rehabilitation of Lift Stations – The line items shown for Priority B and C lift stations represent high level rehabilitation and will be further defined during detailed design based on the lift station’s needs. This line item also includes programmed improvements that each lift station may require in addition to the specific upgrades included in priority A and criticality 1 items identified in the Sewer Lift Station Assessment. These improvements include pump and impeller rehabilitation/replacement, valves maintenance/replacement, conduits replacement, electrical panels maintenance/replacement, motor control replacement, SCADA upgrades, etc. A detailed cost estimate for each station will be determined closer to construction based on the ongoing inspection results at each station.
• Pipeline Replacement and Rehabilitation – The City will continue to rehabilitate and replace pipes in poor condition based on their CCTV inspection results and relative risk. This line item may include pipes identified in the 2024 Pleasanton Sewer Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation/Replacement

• Sewer Siphon Replacement and Large Diameter Trunk Rehabilitation – This line item includes funding for possible rehabilitation or replacement of sewer siphon replacement or trunk sewers based on the findings of the inspections included in priority A. These costs will not be sufficient to rehabilitate or replace multiple siphons and/or trunk sewers, and it is recommended that this line item be revised following the results of the inspections and desktop analyses.
3.5 Priority C Projects
Priority C projects include additional rehabilitation and replacement recommendations for pipes in poor condition that have not yet been CCTV’d. Pipes will be selected based on their inspected condition as identified as part of future condition assessment effort. These projects are more programmatic in nature and represent the required investment to maintain the sewer network. Also included in this priority is the reinspection of sewer siphons, trunk sewers, and gravity mains and follow up condition assessment work. It is critical that the City continues to identify assets in poor condition as the system ages and react proactively to maintain a high level of service to the public.

4. LONG-TERM CIP
The City of Pleasanton has identified both capital and O&M projects and programs to maintain and improve the City’s current level of service. The O&M projects provided by the City were incorporated into the Long- Term CIP scenarios described below to present total anticipated spending requirements).
4.1 CIP Scenarios
The following section describes three long -term CIP scenarios developed for the City. The scenarios represent different project timelines and associated expenditure rates. These scenarios all have different benefits and drawbacks which are discussed below. A comparison between their spending levels is shown in Figure 4-1.

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
Scenario 1 – Maintain: This scenario offers a balanced approach, deferring some projects while aiming to reduce the backlog of gravity sewers with major defects. While less aggressive than Scenario 2, this option still requires more than double the City’s current capital spending by FY27 to avoid deferring Priority A work. To capture the risk in delaying projects, a line item representing unplanned/emergency repairs equal to 2.5% of City-funded capital projects is included in this scenario. A chart of spending by year is shown in Figure 4-2.
Capacity Projects:
• All priority A capacity projects are completed in the near term.
Lift Station Projects:
• Some near-term lift station projects are delayed to the mid -term, and some mid-term projects are delayed to the long-term.
Condition Assessment Projects:
• This scenario targets full repair/replacement of pipes with existing major defects by FY30 –31, with $3M annually (corresponding to approximately 1.5 miles of sewer) available starting in FY27 –28.
This funding assumes the pipes analyzed in Pleasanton Sewer Condition Assessment are representative of the entire sewer system, and that only ~4.5% of pipes in the system require some type of rehabilitation. If more defects are found than expected, the backlog of pipes in need of rehabilitation or replacement will grow in the near -term. This is especially true if siphons, forcemains, or trunk sewers are found to be in poor condition during their near-term studies and funding is needed for emergency repairs.
Staffing:
• This scenario r equires 2 to 3 additional staff starting in FY27, managing an average of $8.4M annually (excluding FY25–26). Staffing increases to 4 FTEs from FY31–33 to complete major pipeline and lift station work.

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
Scenario 2 – Projects Funded by Priority: Minimizes the City’s risk by proactively investing in rehabilitation and replacement of high -risk assets. This scenario offers the most flexible near -term spending to address the findings of gravity main, large diameter sewer main, siphon, and force main studies. However, the high up-front spending in the next 5 years may be difficult to achieve, given the City’s current capital spending of ~$3M. A chart of spending by year is shown in Figure 4-3.
Capacity Projects:
• All priority A capacity projects are completed in the near term.
Lift Station Projects:
• All priority A lift station projects are completed in the near -term, and all priority B projects are completed in the mid-term.
Condition Assessment Projects:
• Aims to eliminate the backlog of pipes with severe defects by FY30, based on findings from the recent Pleasanton Sewer Condition Assessment. However, if additional asset in poor-condition are identified (e.g., siphons, forcemains, large -diameter trunk sewers), this scenario provides the most flexibility to address them in the near term, with $6M available in FY27 –28 and $3M every year thereafter. The intent of this scenario is to minimize the City’s backlog of projects before the next rate study.
Staffing:
• This scenario requires 3 to 4 additional staff in the near to medium term (FY27 –35) to manage $5– 15M in capital work. FTE requirements decrease to 2 in the long term (FY35 –44), managing an average of $6.5M annually.

Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025
Scenario 3 – Maximum Deferrals: This scenario defers projects to give the City more time to ramp up its capital spending program and hire additional staff. In doing so this scenario presents the highest risk since projects are deferred from the near and mid -term into the long -term. To capture the risk in delaying projects, a line item representing unplanned/emergency repairs equal to 5% of City-funded capital projects is included in this scenario. A chart of spending by year is shown in Figure 4-4.
Capacity Projects:
• All priority A capacity projects are completed in the near term.
Lift Station Projects:
• Some near-term lift station projects are delayed to the mid -term, and some mid-term projects are delayed to the long-term.
Condition Assessment Projects:
• This scenario aims to maintain or reduce the current backlog of pipes with major defects, replacing approximately 1 mile of pipe per year starting in FY27–28 with an annual budget of $2.1M. If more pipes with major defects are found or the siphons, forcemains, and/or large diameter trunk sewers are found to be in poor condition, the City’s backlog of pipes with rehabilitation requirements will grow under this scenario . This will increase the risk of asset failure and may require more costly emergency repairs.
Staffing:
• Requires between 2 and 3 additional staff starting in FY27 through the long term (FY 45). These staff manage an average of $8.4M annually, similar to scenario 1 but with more deferrals.

Capital Improvement Project Notes:
1) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 9: Cost Sharing for Scenario 3 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerni ng the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume th at development of the Kiewit property will contribute $222,275 in payment while balance will be funded by the Arroyo Lago developme nt.
2) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 12: Pro-Rata Cost Sharing Scenario 6 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerning the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume that Project 4B costs will be the Total of all developments (Kiewit North, Site H, East Lakes, Arroyo Lago, and Amazon) minus the Project 4A cost (Kiewit North and Arroyo Lago). The City will seek funding from developments as application s are processed or will seek construction of these projects from the first development with reimbursements made to others on a pro rata share basis as others connect.
3) Priority A Lift Station projects encompass all Criticality 2 and 3 improvements, while Priority B represents Criticality 1 (included in rehabilitation projects), as identified in the 2024 LS Condition Assessment TM.
4) At the time of this project, a redundant siphon will also be installed. Costs include demolition of existing station and assumes full replacement, inc luding cutover costs from the old to new station.
5) Includes all sewer and stormwater generators identified in the TJC Report (2023).
6) Pipeline Replacement includes replacement and repair (R&R) of high priority pipes and an allowance for future R&R work, as well as CCTV inspection and Sewer AI for pipes. This money can also be spent on other high priority assets like force mains, siphons, or large diameter sewers as needed depending on the findings of condition assessment e fforts.
7) City funded work to be performed by DSRSD. CIP assumes EALS will be rehabilitated, and the EARS LS and associated piping will be installed to suppleme nt this rehabilitated lift station
8) Estimation of $200,000 for abandonment of Lift Stations currently not in service.
9) Major rehabilitation costs for lift stations were estimated based on the lift station's pump horse power and flow rate. A more refined cost estimate w ill be developed based on the extent of the rehabilitation required at each station prior to construction.
10) This line item is an allowance for the replacement or rehab of sewer siphons, forcemains, and large diameter sewers that are inspected as part of the Priority A analysis work. This cost will be refined as the analysis is completed
11) LS-14 Rehabilitation will take place under separate CIP funding, and therefore not included in this spreadsheet.
12) The SSMP will make subsequent recommendations a bout the scope and schedule of future condition ass essment work, including CCTV, force main inspection, and manhole inspections. 13) Unplanned repair costs represent the risk associated with deferring capital projects. This cost is intended to account for potential emergency repairs that may arise if assets fail before they can be rehabilitated or replaced. To reflect this risk, a line item equal to 2.5% of City-funded capital projects is included in priority C, but spending would occur whenever an asset fails unexpectedly (in addi tion to the City’s O&M budget).

Project: City of Pleasanton Sewer Capital Implementation Plan Capital Improvement Projects
20-Year Plan -- Scenario 2 Funded By Priority
Capital Improvement Project Notes:
1) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 9: Cost Sharing for Scenario 3 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerni ng the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume th at development of the Kiewit property will contribute $222,275 in payment while balance will be funded by the Arroyo Lago developme nt.
2) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 12: Pro-Rata Cost Sharing Scenario 6 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerning the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume that Project 4B costs will be the Total of all developments (Kiewit North, Site H, East Lakes, Arroyo Lago, and Amazon) minus the Project 4A cost (Kiewit North and Arroyo Lago). The City will seek funding from developments as application s are processed or will seek construction of these projects from the first development with reimbursements made to others on a pro rata share basis as others connect.
3) Priority A Lift Station projects encompass all Criticality 2 and 3 improvements, while Priority B represents Criticality 1 (included in rehabilitation projects), as identified in the 2024 LS Condition Assessment TM.
4) At the time of this project, a redundant siphon will also be installed. Costs include demolition of existing station and assumes full replacement, inc luding cutover costs from the old to new station.
5) Includes all sewer and stormwater generators identified in the TJC Report (2023).
6) Pipeline Replacement includes replacement and repair (R&R) of high priority pipes and an allowance for future R&R work, as well as CCTV inspection and Sewer AI for pipes. This money can also be spent on other high priority assets like force mains, siphons, or large diameter sewers as needed depending on the findings of condition assessment e fforts.
7) City funded work to be performed by DSRSD. CIP assumes EALS will be rehabilitated, and the EARS LS and associated piping will be installed to suppleme nt this rehabilitated lift station
8) Estimation of $200,000 for abandonment of Lift Stations currently not in service.
9) Major rehabilitation costs for lift stations were estimated based on the lift station's pump horse power and flow rate. A more refined cost estimate w ill be developed based on the extent of the rehabilitation required at each station prior to construction.
10) This line item is an allowance for the replacement or rehab of sewer siphons, forcemains, and large diameter sewers that are inspected as part of the Priority A analysis work. This cost will be refined as the analysis is completed
11) LS-14 Rehabilitation will take place under separate CIP funding, and therefore not included in this spreadsheet.
12) The SSMP will make subsequent recommendations a bout the scope and schedule of future condition ass essment work, including CCTV, force main inspection, and manhole inspections.

1) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 9: Cost Sharing for Scenario 3 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerni ng the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume th at development of the Kiewit property will contribute $222,275 in payment while balance will be funded by the Arroyo Lago developme nt.
2) Estimated Total Capital Cost is derived from “Table 12: Pro-Rata Cost Sharing Scenario 6 CIP” from the Technical Memorandum dated February 11, 2025 concerning the East Pleasanton Annexation. Costs assume that Project 4B costs will be the Total of all developments (Kiewit North, Site H, East Lakes, Arroyo Lago, and Amazon) minus the Project 4A cost (Kiewit North and Arroyo Lago). The City will seek funding from developments as application s are processed or will seek construction of these projects from the first development with reimbursements made to others on a pro rata share basis as others connect.
3) Priority A Lift Station projects encompass all Criticality 2 and 3 improvements, while Priority B represents Criticality 1 (included in rehabilitation projects), as identified in the 2024 LS Condition Assessment TM.
4) At the time of this project, a redundant siphon will also be installed. Costs include demolition of existing station and assumes full replacement, inc luding cutover costs from the old to new station.
5) Includes all sewer and stormwater generators identified in the TJC Report (2023).
6) Pipeline Replacement includes replacement and repair (R&R) of high priority pipes and an allowance for future R&R work, as well as CCTV inspection and Sewer AI for pipes. This money can also be spent on other high priority assets like force mains, siphons, or large diameter sewers as needed depending on the findings of condition assessment e fforts.
7) City funded work to be performed by DSRSD. CIP assumes EALS will be rehabilitated, and the EARS LS and associated piping will be installed to suppleme nt this rehabilitated lift station
8) Estimation of $200,000 for abandonment of Lift Stations currently not in service.
9) Major rehabilitation costs for lift stations were estimated based on the lift station's pump horse power and flow rate. A more refined cost estimate w ill be developed based on the extent of the rehabilitation required at each station prior to construction.
10) This line item is an allowance for the replacement or rehab of sewer siphons, forcemains, and large diameter sewers that are inspected as part of the Priority A analysis work. This cost will be refined as the analysis is completed
11) LS-14 Rehabilitation will take place under separate CIP funding, and therefore not included in this spreadsheet.
12) The SSMP will make subsequent recommendations a bout the scope and schedule of future condition ass essment work, including CCTV, force main inspection, and manhole inspections. 13) Unplanned repair costs represent the risk associated with deferring capital projects. This cost is intended to account for potential emergency repairs that may arise if assets fail before they can be rehabilitated or replaced. To reflect this risk, a line item equal to 5% of City-funded capital projects is included in priority C, but spending would occur whenever an asset fails unexpectedly (in addition to the City’s O&M budget).

City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 1
1.0: Element 1 – Goal and Introduction
The goal of the Sewer System Management Plan ( SSMP or Plan) is to provide a plan and schedule to:
• Properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the Enrollee’s sanitary sewer system.
• Reduce and prevent spills .
• Contain and mitigate spills that do occur.
The SSMP must include a narrative i ntroduction section that discusses regulatory context, SSMP update schedule, and an overview of sewer system assets.
1.1: Regulatory Context
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRC B) has previously issued statewide waste discharge requirements for sanitary sewer systems which include requirements for development of an SSMP . The SWRCB requirements were outlined in Order No. 2006- 0003- DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems and the Monitoring and Reporting Program WQ 2013-0058-Exec. These two SWRCB requirements were replaced on December 6, 2022, by SW RCB Order WQ 2022- 0103-DWQ Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements, General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems, which became effective for all enrolled agencies on June 5, 2023 . The City’s wastewater identification number for WDR compliance in the SWRCB CIWQS system is 2SSO10167.
The City also owns and operates a storm water collection system that is permitted under the RWQCB San Franscisco Bay Region Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit Order No. R2-2022-0018, under NPDES permit number CAS612008.
1.2: SSMP Update Schedule
This section outlines the City’s schedule of future major milestones for updating and implementing its SSMP . As these milestones are completed this SSMP will be updated as appropriate and noted in the SSMP Change Log.
• 2025 SSMP Update – Submittal to CIWQS by 7/31/25
• Electronic Service Area Map – Submittal to CIWQS by 12 /31/25 • Utilities Resource Review – 10/2025
• Long-Term Sewer CIP Report – 10/2025
• Sewer Rate and Connection Fee Updates – Effective 7/2026 • 8/2024 to 8/2027 SSMP Audit – Submittal to CIWQS by 1/31/ 28 • 8/2027 to 8/2030 SSMP Audit – Submittal to CIWQS by 1/31/31
Element 1 – Goal and Introduction
City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 2 • 2031 SSMP Update – Submittal to CIWQS by 7/31/31
1.3: Sewer System Asset Overview
The City owns and operates a sewer system that serves a population of approximately 76,000 in a 25 square mile service area that is shown in Figure 1- 1. The sewer system consists of approximately 253 miles of gravity sewers, approximately 4.9 miles of force mains, 8 siphons, 11 active pump stations, and approximately 21,000 service connections . The average dry weather flow is approximately 6 million gallons per day (MGD). The City has agreements with DSRSD and City of Livermore (for Ruby Hill area only) for wastewater treatment and is a member of LAVWMA for treated wastewater disposal. The City also has an agreement with Alameda County that allows sewage flows from their Castlewood Service Area to be transported through the City’s collection system (including LS-10) for treatment at DSRSD .
Sewer service laterals are owned by the property owner and therefore are the responsibility of the property owner to maintain. The City will not service, repair, rehabilitate, or replace any portion of sewer service laterals from the building to the public s ewer main.

City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 18 Figure 4–1: O&M Program Workflow
Element 4 – Operations and Maintenance Program
City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 19
4.2.1: Gravity Mains
Cleaning: Sewer collection systems require continuous maintenance to ensure proper function/performance. In addition to common maintenance defects (roots, debris, grease, etc.) , items not intended for the sewer system (non- dispersible wipes, kitty litter, floss, etc.) can be introduced at any time, which makes regular cleaning a high priority. Gravity mains will be cleaned on a 7-year frequency cycle and in a systematic manner to ensure flow efficiency.
Gravity main segments will be cleaned from the downstream manhol e to the upstream manhole whenever possible. Exceptions can be made in some cases: (1) there are no lateral connections on the gravity main being cleaned, or (2) a forward- cleaning nozzle is being used.
The City will primarily use in -house resources to perform cleaning for piping 15-inch and smaller. However, until a resource study is completed (see Section 4.5) and needed employees are identified and hired , contract services will be used to supplement staff . For large diameter sewers (greater than 15 -inch diameter) and siphons , all cleaning will be performed by contract services.
Inspection: CCTV inspection of gravity mains will follow cleaning and occur on a 7-year frequency cycle. The City will primarily use in -house resources to perform inspection for piping 15-inch and smaller. However, until a resource study is completed (see Section 4.5) and needed employees are identified and hired, contract services will be used to supplement staff. For large diameter sewers (greater than 15 -inch diameter) and siphons , all inspections will be performed by contract services . CCTV inspections are intended to evaluate system performance and drive much of the maintenance and repair activities needed to properly operate the sewer collection system. Defects and other findings will be coded using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies (NASSCO), Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) and Pioneer software.
CCTV inspections will also occur as a follow -up to SSOs to determine the cause of the SSO and to ensure the affected pipe is performing adequately. This inspection will be performed as soon as possible after the SSO event. This inspection will be used to verify findings when reporting to CIWQS and will help determ ine maintenance and repair activities to prevent reoccurrence of the SSO.
Hot Spots: The City keeps a hot spot list, which are sewer pipe segments that have been identified by staff as requiring high frequency cleaning. When placed on the hot spot list, the pipe segment is assigned a maintenance frequency (i.e. , monthly, quarterly, biannually, annually, etc.) and maintenance method (i.e., appropriate nozzle type). The pipe segment is also evaluated for feasibility, cost, and benefit of repair to determine if and when is the most appropriate time to implement improvements and remo ve the segment from the hot spot list.
Root Control: Gravity main segments to be included in the root control program are generally informed by the results of the cleaning and inspection program. Gravity main segments that
Element 4 – Operations and Maintenance Program
City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 20 are included have roots cut by in-house staff prior to chemical applications by contracted services.
Vector Control: The objective of the vector control program is to: (1) maintain a safe working environment for staff and (2) proactively address public concerns and maintain good public image by reducing the likelihood of disease -transmitting vectors (i.e., spiders, insects, rats, etc.) migrating from the collection system to homes and businesses. This program is currently the responsibility of Alameda County. Any areas of infestation that are identified during inspection are alerted to Alameda County.
Pipe Repair: Pipe segments identified as requiring repair are either placed on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan or flagged for further evaluation as part of the engineering-based condition assessments that inform the CIP (see Section 8). Pipe repairs on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan are primarily performed utilizing contract services.
4.2.2: Manholes
The City will inspect manholes during the pipe cleaning and inspection proces s utilizing City inspection forms. Results of the inspection inform of the maintenance and/or repair activities needed. Manholes identified as requiring repair are either placed on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan or flagged for further evaluation as part of the engineering- based condition assessments that inform the CIP (see Section 8) . Manhole repairs on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan are primarily performed utilizing contract services.
The City has 34 SMART covers installed in strategic location s to provide advanced notification of sewage surcharge and possibility of spill. These covers provide continuous monitoring/alerts and are maintained on a monthly basis by in-house staff.
4.2.3: Lift Stations
The City will inspect its lift stations utilizing City inspection forms. Note that the City is in the process of standardizing its lift station inspection form at the time of this SSMP Update .
Inspections vary based on the type of inspection activity. Results of the inspection inform the maintenance and/or repair activities needed. Items identified as requiring repair are either placed on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan or flagged for further evaluation as part of the engineering -based condition assessments that inform the CIP (see Section 8) .
Repairs on the Utilities Division repair and replacement plan are performed in- house or with contracted services based on the nature of the repair.
4.2.4: Force Mains
The City will inspect its force mains on a yearly basis by walking the alignment and looking for evidence of leaks such as sink holes or depressions. The City will also inspect its valve vaults and air valves on a quarterly basis. Results of the inspection s inform of the maintenance and/or repair activities needed. Items identified as requiring repair are either placed on the
Element 4 – Operations and Maintenance Program
City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 21 Utilities Division repair and replacement plan or flagged for further evaluation as part of the engineering-based condition assessments that inform the CIP (see Section 8) .

As part of the condition assessment process , this inspection data is evaluated for the purposes of identifying CIP projects. The latest evaluation was completed in November 2024 by Woodard & Curran for pipes inspected and coded through J une 2024. In total, 424,370 l inear feet (or about 30 percent of the City- owned pipes in the gravity collection system) had CCTV data and defect scoring that could be utilized for a risk based assessment .
InfoAsset Planner risk assessment software was used to develop likelihood of failure (LOF) and consequence of failure (COF) scores for each pipe in the system . LOF scoring was based on structural condition based on CCTV data, a “structural vulnerability” factor reflecting the age and material of the pipe (also used as a preliminary surrogate for structural condition for pipes without CCTV data), and frequency of required cleaning (“hot spots”) . COF scoring considered the pipe size (reflecting its potential flow volume), environmental consequence
Element 8 – System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvements City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 30 (e.g., proximity to storm drains or Waters of the State), location (road type), and community impact (proximity to commercial areas and public facilities) . A weighting system was applied to each of the LOF and COF factors to determine an overall risk score and risk category (very low, low, medium, or high), reflecting its priority. Based on the risk assessment results, gravity sewers were identified for continued preventive maintenance (pipes without major defects) or R&R. Pipes with R&R recommendations of medium or high-risk ratings were identified for inclusion in the City’s long-term CIP.
The City plans to expand the condition assessment evaluation to the remaining sewer pipes that have been inspected/coded since June 2024 ( ~103,000 linear feet inspected and coded and ~110,000 linear feet inspected and awaiting coding) . Moving forward, the City plans to maintain an overall 7- year inspection frequency. The City will also consider making future refinements to COF criteria to more specifically identify sewers in other environmentally sensitive areas (e.g., steep terrain, high groundwater areas, areas near creeks, etc.) or areas that may be more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As part of the long- term CIP’s 2-year review and 6 -year update process , the City will review its CCTV inspection program to incorporate up- to-date information.
8.2.2: Large Diameter Sewers, Siphons, and Manholes
Inspection of the City’s large diameter sewers , siphons, and manholes were not performed or conditions evaluated as part of the City’s current CIP. Budget for these i nspections and condition assessments will be included in the City’s long- term CIP current ly under development. R esults of the inspections will be evaluated, and recommended improvements included in future 2 -year reviews and 6 -year updates of the long-term CIP.
8.2.3: Lift Stations
As discussed in Section 4, l ift stations are regularly inspected by operators utilizing the City’s lift station inspection forms. The lift stations also undergo an engineering assessment as part of the long-term CIP process . The last engineering assessment was completed in January 2025 by Woodard & Curran. The evaluation process included an initial review of record drawings and miscellaneous documents followed by onsite inspections and assessments of each station’s configuration, process condition, mechanical condition, observed structural condition, safety, operations and maintenance insight, electrical, and overall long- term reliability. In addition, Woodard & Curran coordinated with City staff for input on which lift stations present the highest risk in terms of day- to-day operations. The assessment also incorporated the findings and recommendations of a separate generator study completed by TJC and Associates.
During the inspection of each lift station, issues were highlighted that may warrant additional attention or future improvements. For each facility, these identified issues were given numerical criticality (1 = Fair, 2 = Poor, 3 = Crucial) and categorized into six (6) groups:
Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Site, and Health & Safety. Recommended lift
Element 8 – System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvements City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 31 station improvements based on the r esults of the lift station condition assessments were prioritized and will be scheduled into the City’s long- term CIP.
The East Amador Lift Station (EALS) which is owned and operated by Dublin- San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) , conveys flow from the City of Pleasanton to the DSRSD Wastewater Treatment Plant . Although DSRSD is responsible for the condition assessment and implementation of improvements needed to this lift station, the City is responsible for funding these improvements . An allocation for those costs will be included in the long- term CIP.
8.2.4: Force Mains
Force mains are inspected as discussed in Section 4. Due to the challenges of inspecting force mains, the City will also include an engineering evaluation as part of its long -term CIP process. The evaluation will first include a desktop assessment of the force mains, which will include a review of pipe attributes (alignment, age, material, etc.) , geotechnical conditions in the proximity of the force mains, pump cycling data, and break history. This analysis will help identify feasible and appropriate inspection methods for each force main. The inspections will be prioritized based on the same types of factors used for gravity pipe risk assessment. The force main inspections may include visual as sessment of pipe alignments, inspe ction of discharge manholes, ultrasonic pipe thickness testing, and actual internal CCTV inspection or other technology to assess pipe condition. Any force mains that can be CCTV inspected (or partially inspected) may be added to the gravity pipe CCTV inspection program to be conducted by contractors . Once available, needed improvements based on the results of the condition assessments will be prioritized and scheduled into the City’s long- term capital improvement plan as appropriate.
Evaluation of the City’s force mains were not performed as part of the City’s current CIP.
Budget for these inspections and condition assessments will be included in the long- term CIP currently under development. R esults of the inspections will be evaluated, and recommended improvements included in future 2- year reviews and 6 -year updates of the long- term CIP.
8.3: Capacity Assessments
The City completed a Sewer Capacity Evaluation Report in November 2024 by Woodard & Curran, which summarizes the development of a calibrated hydraulic model used to analyze the capacity of the system, identify areas of capacity deficiencies , and develop recommendations for capacity improvements to be incorporated into the City’s long- term CIP.
Note that the City has not had any capacity- related spills from the sewer collection system.
8.3.1: Hydraulic Analysis
The hydraulic model was developed in InfoWorks ICM modeling software and includes all active City-owned sewers, lift stations, and force mains in the system . Flows in the model were based on recent winter water use data (to estimate base wastewater flows) and flow monitoring data collected at 14 sites and during the 2022/23 wet weather season. The model
Element 8 – System Evaluation, Capacity Assurance, and Capital Improvements City of Pleasanton Sewer System Management Plan, July 2025 32 was calibrated to the flow monitoring data to confirm that it would predict both dry and peak wet weather flows with reasonable accuracy . Potential increases in sewer flows were also estimated and included in the hydraulic analysis based on projected future development and land use changes within the sewer service area.
8.3.2: Design and Performance Criteria
The City selected a 25 -year return period, 24- hour rainfall event 1 as the basis for capacity assessment and design of its sanitary sewer system . This design event is considered to provide reasonable protection from the risk of sewer spills due to infrequent, extreme wet weather events.
The calibrated hydraulic model was used to simulate peak flows that would be expected in the system under both normal dry weather flows and during a design storm event, for both existing and future development conditions . Pipes with flow exceeding a flow depth to pipe diameter ratio of 0.75 under peak dry weather flow were considered deficient and in need of upgrade. Areas with excessive predicted surcharge (i.e., hydraulic gradeline reaching within 3 feet of the ground, indicating a potential risk of a sew er spill) under design storm peak wet weather flow were identified, and required capacity improvements to alleviate those capacity deficiencies were developed . However, if any surcharge was predicted to occur solely due to future development, then the City may require a capacity relief project evaluation before additional development could be connected to the system .
8.3.3: Capacity Assurance
The results of the hydraulic modeling indicated that the City’s sewer system has adequate capacity to convey peak dry weather flows under both existing and future conditions . The results for design storm model simulations indicated two areas of the system that may be considered capacity deficient under existing conditions and two areas that could become capacity deficient in the future due to increased flows from future develop ment. The capacity assessment also determined that all of the modeled system pump stations have sufficient firm capacity (capacity with largest pumping unit out of service) to convey the predicted design storm peak flow without exceeding the maximum allowable surcharge in upstream sewers .
The 2024 Sewer Capacity Evaluation identified four potential capacity improvement projects required to meet the City’s capacity criteria. In several cases, alternatives were also identified, which could be evaluated as part of additional pre -design studies . Required system capacity improvements would be designed in accordance with the City’s Engineering Standards (see Element 5). The recommended projects have been incorporated into the City’s long- term CIP.
At the time of this SSMP Update, the City is evalua ting potential development alternatives for the East Pleasanton Specific Plan area and respective impacts to sewer capacity. Any
