Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2026
Re: 4.1(a)--Update for the Emergency work due to Flooding Page 2 Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to accept the attached resolution and provide alternate direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
Due to storm events in in early 2025, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and on February 18, 2025, the Council ratified this proclamation and authorized the negotiation of emergency contracts. The storm events caused significant damage to Nur Pon Open Space, City of Redding (City) Parks and Trails and the Sundial Bridge.

Nur Pon Open Space’s had damages to the bridges, kayak boat launch area, and trails from the flooding. Parks staff performed some repairs to the open space focusing on the first walking bridge closest to the parking area, the bathrooms, the parking lot facility, and the kayak boat launch area of the park. The facility has been fully repaired.

Other damages include the Sacramento River Trail, Caldwell Park, Clover Creek, Turtle Bay East Sundial Bridge Lighting and Angler’s Trail. Damages include trail undermining and damages to electrical and lighting infrastructure. All facilities have been fully repaired except for the minor lighting repair at Turtle Bay East which will be repaired by Parks Staff.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code, staff recommends that the Council terminate the emergency by adoption of the resolution as Nur Pon Open Space, City Parks and Trails, and Sundial Bridge, repairs are completed to the extent that bidding is no longer required for the damages.

California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding has been authorized for Shasta County due to the 2025 February Storms (CDAA 2025-07). The reimbursement process and exact dollar amounts will be forthcoming from Cal OES. City staff met with Cal OES on December 16, 2025, and once the Sundial lighting repair is complete, we can submit all repair documentation to Cal OES to receive funding.

Environmental Review
This action, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and no further action is required.

On June 17, 2025, Council determined that maintenance activities performed by the Parks Division are exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.

4.22.120(A) to repair all parks and trail facilities including the Sundial Bridge that were affected by the emergency, and repair the damaged facilities; and
WHEREAS, work has been completed to repair the damaged parks and trails, and the facilities are back open to the public; and
WHEREAS, the emergency conditions have been resolved, and any remaining or future work may be completed in accordance with the City’s normal contracting and procurement procedures; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution by a four-fifths vote to confirm and ratify the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services declaring a local emergency and authorizing the City Manager to repair or replace public facilities and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without solicitation of competitive bids in accordance with Public Contract Code 20168 and 22050.

Fiscal Impact
Adoption of the resolution could have a positive fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount as it will facilitate the recovery of the community and the receipt of emergency aid from state, and possibly federal, authorities if it becomes available.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to adopt the resolution or provide alternate direction. Failure to adopt the resolution will result in a legal finding that the local emergency has ceased and will likely negatively impact the receipt of aid from state and/or federal authorities, and the City of Redding’s (City) ability to immediately repair or replace damaged infrastructure.

Background/Analysis
On February 2, 2025, a storm event arrived in the City of Redding, ultimately causing conditions to be beyond the immediate control of local resources, services, personnel, equipment, and facilities. These winter storms have brought heavy rain to all areas of Shasta County which in turn have caused a significant increase in releases from Shasta Dam resulting in localized flooding, water rescues, and damage to roadways, trail systems, storm water systems, and other infrastructure. At this time, continued high-water flows are expected with not all areas having MEETING DATE: February 18, 2025

been fully assessed. The current forecast calls for continued storms and additional snow and rainfall which could further exacerbate the damage and increase the difficulty of recovery efforts.

As the rain continues, the Bureau of Reclamation will be required to continue its high releases from Shasta Dam. There is potential for additional local flooding and infrastructure damage.

Due to these events and weather conditions, a local emergency was proclaimed on February 11, 2025, and it is recommended that the Council ratify this proclamation and continue the declaration until such time that the threat of these storms has subsided, there is no longer an elevated risk to life and property, and the emergency restoration of facilities has been completed.

The local emergency was declared by the City Manager serving in his capacity as Director of Emergency Services under RMC 9.12.030. The Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services is attached.

Pursuant to Government Code section 8630, the Proclamation is valid for seven days. As such, if the Council does not act to adopt a resolution which confirms and ratifies the existence of a local emergency, the declaration of local emergency made under the Proclamation will lapse. A declaration of local emergency provides several benefits in time of emergency. Under Government Code section 8634, it permits a local agency to immediately promulgate orders and regulations necessary to protect the public health and safety. It further permits the State and local agencies to provide mutual aid to the City and makes the costs of such aid incurred by other agencies chargeable to the State. Lastly, the declaration of local emergency facilitates payment to the City by the State under the Disaster Assistance Act (Gov. Code section 8680 et seq.).

The resolution contains all the needed findings to continue the declaration of local emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code section 8550 et seq.). In the absence of action under Public Contract Code, the Council could declare an emergency under the California Emergency Service Act by a simple majority vote.

However, the resolution also seeks authorization under RMC 4.22.120 and Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050. As such, a fourth-fifths vote of the Council will be required to adopt the resolution. These sections provide authority which the Government Code, addressed above, does not. Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 collectively provide authority to repair or replace a public facility, and procure the necessary equipment, services and supplies for those purposes without competitive bidding. While notice and competitive bidding are very beneficial in non-emergency situations, these processes are entirely too untimely if we are to immediately protect the public health and safety by restoration of public services and facilities. This is necessary due to the immediate need to repair or replace the 120-inch culvert that failed at the entrance to the Reginato Boat Ramp. This ramp serves as a critical entry point for river access for public safety agencies to effectuate river rescues and to access areas along the river that are otherwise inaccessible. Additionally, river guides and other river related businesses utilize this ramp extensively and prolonged closure will cause significant economic hardship as well as impeding life saving efforts by the Redding Police Department and the Shasta County Sheriff.

It should be noted that RMC 4.22.120 delegates authority to the City Manager to make a finding that the emergency will not permit the delay resulting from a competitive solicitation of bids and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. However, that authority is only valid for a period of seven days. By making this finding now by means of adoption of the resolution, the Council avoids the unfortunate circumstance whereby the immediate action sought by the City Manager to repair or replace public infrastructure will lapse absent an Packet Pg. 255 Packet Pg. 64 Attachment: Previous Staff Report - 021825 Declaring local emergency (4.1(a)--Update for the Emergency work due to Flooding) Report to Redding City Council February 12, 2025

immediate, emergency Council meeting. In order to ensure Council oversight, RMC

4.22.120(C)(1) requires review of action under Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050 at every regular meeting until such time as the emergency ceases.

In summary, the resolution serves two important functions. It facilitates coordination with other public agencies assisting the City in responding to the local emergency and is a necessary precondition to receipt of state and federal aid. It also provides authority to the City to use its own resources in accomplishing repair or replacement of damaged public infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring Council oversight of all such activity.

during the relicensing process. This additional contingency will provide the flexibility needed to ensure full compliance with FERC requirements and support timely project completion.

The Whiskeytown Unit 9 hydropower unit generates approximately $2.5 million annually in revenue and serves as a source of renewable energy credits; therefore, the costs for relicensing work will be recovered within the first year of operation under the new license.

REU has sufficient reserves available to support the increased funding required for this multiyear project. Project expenditures will be incurred over multiple fiscal years rather than all at once. While the increased cost represents approximately one day of cash on hand, which is the utility’s reserve metric, the expected return on investment is less than one year, based on previously shared information indicating that current power generation from the facility exceeds $2.5 million annually. The use of reserves for this purpose will not impact REU’s ability to fund other approved capital projects or ongoing operational commitments.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose not to award the RFP to HDR Engineering, Inc. and provide alternative direction to staff.

Background/Analysis
REU owns and operates a 3.5 MW hydro-electric power generation facility at Whiskeytown Dam. The plant was originally issued a license by FERC in 1983 for a 50-year term, which is set to expire in 2033. In order to continue operations beyond that date, REU must obtain a new license through FERC’s relicensing process.

The FERC relicensing is a highly technical, multi-year undertaking that involves detailed environmental and engineering studies, consultation, and coordination with numerous federal, state, and local agencies. For smaller hydroelectric facilities like Whiskeytown Unit 9, the process typically takes five to eight years to complete, from initiation to the issuance of the license. To ensure compliance with regulatory timelines and to prevent any interruption in operations, it is necessary to initiate the relicensing process with sufficient lead time to complete the process.

To support this effort, staff issued RFP number 5633 to solicit proposals for consultation services related to FERC hydroelectric relicensing. The scope of work outlined in the solicitation includes project management, preparation of technical and environmental studies, and the preparation and submission of all necessary documentation required by FERC.

Following the evaluation process, staff determined that HDR Engineering, Inc.’s proposal was responsive to the RFP requirements and offered the necessary technical expertise, experience, and resources to successfully guide REU through the relicensing process. HDR Engineering has a strong record of successfully managing similar relicensing projects and will provide comprehensive support to ensure REU meets all FERC requirements in a timely and costeffective manner.

Re: 4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility Relicense Page 3
The initiation of the FERC relicensing process represents a critical step in ensuring the continued operation and regulatory compliance of the REU’s hydroelectric facility beyond 2033. By engaging an experienced consultant to assist with the complex technical and procedural requirements, REU will be well-positioned to navigate the relicensing process efficiently and effectively. This proactive approach will help safeguard a reliable, renewable energy resource that contributes to REU’s long-term sustainability and energy goals.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no action is required at this time. The consultant will conduct all necessary technical studies to support the FERC relicensing process. If the relicensing is approved by FERC in the future, it would be subject to environmental review under CEQA.

RE: Proposal for Schedule No. 5633
Consultant Services for FERC Relicensing of Whiskeytown Unit 9 for the Redding Power Plant
Dear Selection Committee,
HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) appreciates the opportunity to provide the City of Redding’s Electric Utility (REU) with a proposal to serve as the consultant for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relicensing of REU’s Whiskeytown Unit 9 Power Plant (Unit 9) (FERC Project No. 2888).

The Right Team to Effectively Partner with REU. HDR has assembled a team with recent, deep, and ongoing expertise and leadership to successfully and efficiently address the challenges REU will encounter during relicensing. Our team will be led by Project Manager, Robin Kent. Robin has over 17 years of experience with relicensing projects similar to Unit 9. Supporting Robin is our Senior FERC Advisor, Chuck Vertucci, our Assistant Project Manager, Matt Paquette, and technical resource leads Peter Drobny, Ian Cain, Jay Lloyd, and Keir Keightley. All have successfully completed work on multiple FERC relicensings. Additionally, as Principal-in-Charge, Elizabeth Dawson will help make sure Robin and her team have the resources needed to meet REU’s relicensing goals.

Elizabeth’s 28-year career includes 19 years of oversight and implementation of El Dorado Irrigation District’s Project 184 FERC license.

Our proposed team is located in HDR’s Sacramento office, where HDR has more than 50 employees working on hydropower relicensing and related services. Our team has extensive California-specific relicensing experience, with HDR acting as the lead consultant on over 30 relicensings. In addition to our strong Northern California team, HDR has a nationally recognized FERC regulatory practice that has completed FERC relicensings across the country. Our proposed team communicates regularly with these national colleagues on the latest changes to FERC regulations, as well as lessons learned and creative solutions to relicensing challenges.

Relicensing Approach. HDR understands every licensee and relicensing is unique. If we are selected for REU’s Unit 9 relicensing, we will act quickly to develop a quality partnership with REU staff and identify relicensing goals, management style, and outreach approach, as these up-front planning efforts will shape the relicensing process.

Additionally, HDR will support REU in navigating the numerous regulatory deadlines Packet Pg. 71

QUALIFICATION STATEMENT AND DECLARATION

QUALIFICATION STATEMENT AND DECLARATION
HDR meets the minimum qualifications defined in the Whiskeytown Power Plant (Unit 9) Relicensing Request for Proposal (RFP). We will be providing professional services to REU and understand the responsibilities of the project. HDR is able and willing to commit the necessary resources, including staffing levels, to successfully meet the FERC filing deadlines.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS HDR
Have and maintain minimum insurance requirements as outlined in Section 5 of the draft agreement for term of the contract a
Personnel have the qualifications to support the relicensing a Capacity and experience to provide regulatory and environmental services through the filing of the Final License Application within the timeframe set for the project a At least ten years’ experience performing like services a Based on HDR’s 30 years’ experience performing FERC hydropower relicensings in California and a preliminary review of available documents and sensitive resources in and around Unit 9, HDR has identified the following key project issues for relicensing:

Key Project Issues

1. Project Operations: REU cannot control or request water from Whiskeytown Dam but operates Unit 9 only when the United States Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) water delivery provides enough flow. This lack of control removes or reduces the most high-profile issues related to FERC relicensing of hydropower projects — downstream flows and anadromous fish. This is particularly important for Unit 9, since the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed fish, steelhead- Central Valley Distinct Population Segment (DPS) (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus pop. 11), occurs in Clear Creek below Whiskeytown Dam. This section of Clear Creek is also considered Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Section 7 consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will be required but the potential of Unit 9 to affect the species and EFH will be limited to water quality directly below the powerhouse. Requests for larger studies, including operations modeling, water quantity, water quality/temperature, channel morphology, macroinvertebrates, riparian habitat and other biological resources downstream of the Whiskeytown Dam, can be strongly countered as having no nexus to Unit 9. Information on potential Unit 9 operations that might affect ESA-listed fish can be gathered during data gap surveys, described in Key Project Issue #3.

Unit 9’s lack of control over the flows also supports the use of the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP), since it substantively limits the complexities of the relicensing, reduces the need for relicensing meetings (particularly for developing study plans), and improves the likelihood of approval of the TLP by the FERC, as discussed in Key Project Issue #2.

2. TLP versus Integrated Licensing Process (ILP): HDR will provide more information on the processes to REU but recommends (and scoped and budgeted) that this project follow the TLP, since, as explained above, the particulars of the project operations support its use in lieu of the ILP. The footprint of the existing FERC Project Boundary, shown on Figure 1, also supports the TLP, since Unit 9 encompasses limited area (0.65 acre), and thus, does not impact much land, as well as water. As illustrated in Appendix B, one of the main differences between the TLP and ILP is the development of studies through multiple meetings and FERC filings. Additionally, the ILP would be expected to generate multiple studies, beyond those anticipated to be Packet Pg. 73
Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility 02 Key Project Issues
City of Redding | FERC Relicense of Whiskeytown Unit 9
necessary to relicense the Project. Therefore, the TLP would have considerable cost savings for REU, due to the less complicated requirements for consultation, documentation and FERC involvement, and especially the lack of development and implementation of studies, as described in Key Project Issue #3. REU would also have greater control over the process, since the TLP has fewer regulatory deadlines. This approach is outlined throughout this proposal, and the cost benefits are detailed in the Project Costs documents.

3. Development and implementation of study plans: For the majority of relicensings, the most expensive part is the development and implementation of study plans. HDR proposes to minimize the need for costly and time-consuming study plan development and implementation during relicensing by conducting data gap surveys for the resources areas that typically require data gathering in relicensings – cultural resources, terrestrial biology, and water resources – as part of the development of the Pre-application Document (PAD). This will reduce (or eliminate) study plan development and implementation for those resource areas by allowing REU to drive the process. This will also reduce the likelihood of study requests from relicensing participants and increase REU’s chances of successfully disputing any requests that are made. This approach is outlined throughout this proposal, and the cost benefits are detailed in the Project Costs documents.

OVERVIEW OF CONTRACTORS/SUBCONTRACTORS
Financial Stability
Our assets are managed and invested with
exceptional care. We have established strong
risk controls and are committed to managing our
company with an eye toward long-term financial
health and stability. This commitment has enabled us
to thrive for more than 100 years in every economic
environment and allows us to be a reliable partner
for our clients. Our financial statements are prepared
and audited annually by Ernst & Young LLC. We
are financially sound with gross revenues of $3.8
billion, a current working capital ratio of 2.37, and
stockholders’ equity of $0.93 billion (2024).

Local, Recent Relicensing Experience
For the Unit 9 relicensing, HDR’s Sacramento-based
relicensing team possesses recent and ongoing
experience and leadership to assist REU through
the relicensing process. Our multidisciplinary team
includes FERC regulatory specialists and subject
matter experts experienced in the areas important
for REU’s Unit 9 relicensing, including water
resources, terrestrial biology, and cultural resources
(see the organizational chart in the Staffing Plan
section). The proposed team has worked together
on multiple FERC relicensings with key personnel
serving in similar roles to those proposed for the Unit 9 relicensing.

This translates to:
6A local team with a thorough understanding of the
FERC relicensing process to assist REU through
each phase of the Unit 9 relicensing.
6 FERC regulatory specialists that will anticipate
and mitigate for challenges encountered
during relicensing.
6A national network of colleagues to share
information on the latest regulatory, legislative,
and environmental issues that could impact REU’s
Unit 9 relicensing.

HDR recognizes that FERC relicensing is a long
and complex process and having a consistent
consultant team is critical to REU’s success. While
HDR’s team is committed to REU’s relicensing, our
team also has built in redundancies and additional
resources should the unexpected happen, and a
change to the consultant team is necessary. HDR’s
team will not replace any key personnel without
prior written consent from REU. HDR’s ongoing
succession planning and mentoring of staff will
allow for a smooth transition if necessary. We have
been commended on several ongoing relicensings
as having the “brain trust” still actively engaged,
even after licensee staff have changed. We will
make a similar commitment to REU’s relicensing.

Due to HDR’s strong, diverse team of experienced
professionals in Sacramento and beyond, HDR has
not included subcontractors on our proposed team.

PROJECT PROPOSAL
Project Timeline
FERC relicensing spans at least five years with multiple regulatory deadlines, regardless of following the TLP or ILP. HDR’s proposed schedule (see Table 1) includes early completion of documents to meet these deadlines without stress and allows ample time for REU’s review of all documents. This starts with a proposed early target to file the PAD in September 2027.

Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility 1 This and any meetings that are in-person will have travel expenses covered, including mileage. 2 The Project description and operations will be based off the existing FERC license, other documents available on the FERC eLibrary, information provided by REU prior to the meeting and other reasonably accessing data. 3 HDR will request a document style guide from REU, if one exists, soon after receipt of the Task Order, to use for the template PAD.

Project Tasks
Per REU’s RFP, HDR proposes to support REU’s Unit
9 relicensing from the development of the PAD to
the filing of the Final License Application (FLA) in
2031 following these steps. HDR has provided details
on the “Post-FLA” activities that will occur after
REU files its license application in the Additional
Information section of this proposal since those
activities were not part of REU’s RFP.

As the result of decades of FERC licensing and
relicensing proceedings and subsequent court
cases, a considerable number of legal precedents
have been established that will influence how the
parties approach the proceedings. These precedents
influence how the agencies can address topics such
as fish entrainment, fish passage, mandatory and
recommended license conditions under the Federal
Power Act, endangered species, and Sections 401
and 404 of the Clean Water Act. It is important
that REU understands these “ground rules” that
have been established through prior proceedings.

Beneficial to REU is HDR’s comprehensive
understanding of the legal precedents that will
influence and can be leveraged throughout the
proceedings. This is built into the approach to the
relicensing at all stages.

Task 1: Pre-application Document, Notice of
Intent, Final License Application
KICK-OFF MEETING1
HDR will work with REU to prepare for and conduct
a Kick-off Meeting with REU staff. HDR’s Project
Manager (PM), Strategic FERC Advisor, and Assistant
Project Manager (APM) will attend the meeting,
which will be held at the Redding Power Plant. The
Kick-off Meeting will take from 2-3 hours, and HDR
will provide a draft agenda for REU’s comment and
approval prior to the meeting. HDR will also bring the
proposed schedule for PAD development (described
in Deliverables), the draft Project description and
operations2, and a template outline for one PAD
section to review with REU3. Additional items to
discuss will include general administrative items,
communication protocols, existing and available
REU and FERC information, anticipated stakeholders
and their contact information, and monthly progress
reporting format/content. HDR will also preview the
internal SharePoint site, which will be used to house
and share relicensing documents and references
and will also allow for collaborative development
of documents.

REVIEW EXISTING REU AND FERC DATA
HDR will review REU, FERC, and other reasonably
available existing documentation for the Project,
including the Project’s current FERC exhibits, to
identify the Project’s current FERC boundary and
facilities according to the license. HDR will inform
REU’s PM by email no later than six weeks after
the Kick-off Meeting if missing documentation or
information shortcomings are identified. Some
documents generally required from the Licensee to
complete a PAD include:
• As-built drawings (especially if there have been
changes not filed with the FERC)
• Power Purchase Agreements and other
agreements/contracts that relate to the
licensed project
• Monthly Flow Exceedance Curves

been done by Licensee in the area of Unit 9 (fish
surveys, benthic macroinvertebrates, etc.).

As part of the early outreach to interested
stakeholders, HDR will also ask those parties to
provide information they possess that is relevant to
the Unit 9 relicensing.

HDR will post existing information to the internal
SharePoint, so both HDR and REU staff will have
access to the existing available data.

PROJECT RELICENSING METHODOLOGY
The majority of the strategic discussions will occur at the in-person Kick-off Meeting discussed above.

Establish a relicensing strategy early and stick to it
throughout the process.

This begins with determining REU’s goals for the
relicensing, including identifying any proposed
changes to the Project (e.g., FERC Project Boundary
reduction, updates to equipment), concerns (e.g.,
Water Quality Certification [WQC] measures,
economics), and formally deciding on the preferred
relicensing process. In addition, the Project
description and operations would be developed
and agreed upon as the foundation of relicensing
documents to come. A cornerstone to the Unit
9 Project’s story, highlighted first in the Project
description, is that REU does not control flow from
Whiskeytown Dam, but uses flows opportunistically
to generate power. Many of the most contentious
issues in relicensing reduce dramatically (or go away)
once that fact is established4.

Request the TLP
HDR can discuss with REU the different relicensing
processes and the benefits of each. However,
based on HDR’s extensive relicensing experience,
our understanding of the Unit 9 project, and the
anticipated issues; we recommend REU request to
use the TLP. The TLP provides the most streamlined
(and appropriate) approach for Unit 9. The TLP
minimizes the requirements for relicensing meetings,
document development, and FERC filings and
involvement. The main difference between the TLP
and the ILP revolves around studies and related
FERC Filings. The TLP does not require collaborative
development of studies, unlike the ILP, which requires
plan development, reports, and meetings. The TLP
gives REU more flexibility during the relicensing
and HDR will help REU develop a strategy, including
engagement with relicensing stakeholders. Appendix
B includes a comparison between the TLP and
ILP and shows the difference in complexity (and
therefore, cost).

REU can make a compelling case that Unit 9 will
meet the TLP’s requirements for low complexity of
resource issues, no anticipation of controversy, good
amount of available information, lack of potential
for disputes over studies, likelihood of timely license issuance, and lower cost compared to the ILP. HDR
has a track record of successfully receiving FERC
approval to use the TLP, including each of the HDRmanaged FERC relicensing projects provided as examples in the project experience section. A TLP
request (18 C.F.R. § 5.3) would be drafted and filed
separately with FERC, on the same day as the PAD
and Notice of Intent (NOI).

STAKEHOLDER CONTACT INFORMATION
HDR will work with REU staff to identify interested
stakeholders and their applicable contact information
(phone numbers, emails, and physical addresses)
and provide a comprehensive list to REU. An
initial list of potential relicensing participants
will be developed for the Kick-off Meeting using
FERC’s Service List, the Native American Heritage
Commission for Tribal contacts, and HDR’s
understanding of resource agency contacts for

Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant (FERC Project No. 2876), which HDR just assisted in completing the First Stage of Consultation in relicensing, including utilizing the TLP. 07 City of Redding | FERC Relicense of Whiskeytown Unit 9 PROJECT PROPOSAL / Project Tasks

Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility FERC relicensings. At the outset, the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), State Resources
Water Control Board, State Historic Preservation
Officer (SHPO), United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), BOR, and potentially, the National
Park Service are most likely to be active relicensing
participants. Regional and local non-governmental
organizations like Trout Unlimited, American Rivers,
etc. may also participate in relicensing and will be
part of HDR’s initial list. This list will be updated as the relicensing process progresses and additional
stakeholders are identified as part of subsequent
stakeholder consultations during the PAD, joint
meeting, site visit, and Draft Licensing Application
(DLA) relicensing steps.

DELIVERABLES
This section details the deliverables to be provided by HDR to REU as detailed in REU’s RFP.

Prepare and File a Notice of Intent
HDR will work with REU staff to prepare and file the
NOI (along with the PAD) declaring that REU intends
to seek a new license (relicense) for Unit 9. As part
of the NOI, REU will request to be FERC’s non-federal
representative for informal consultation under
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) and Section 7 of the ESA. This will allow REU
to consult with Native American Tribes, the SHPO
and the USFWS, as needed during relicensing. The
NOI (18 C.F.R. § 5.5) will also be used as the basis of the PAD’s Initial Statement.

Prepare and File a Pre-application Document
The PAD (18.C.F.R. § 5.6) provides not only a
summary of existing, relevant, and reasonably
available information, but the story of the Project
and the set-up for the license application. The
pillars of Unit 9’s story include that REU does
not control flow, the small footprint of the FERC
Project Boundary, and the lack of Project impacts to
environmental resources.

Another part of the relicensing strategy and PAD
development is to determine potential relicensing
participants and their interests early in the Unit
9 relicensing. To confirm interested relicensing
participants, possible resources issues, and study
requests, HDR recommends that REU hold a prePAD meeting. This would be an approximately one-hour virtual meeting to describe the Project,
proposed changes, relicensing milestones and to
request information relevant to the Project, and
any issues they feel should be discussed during
relicensing. The invitation would include a written
request for that information, which would also serve
as the PAD questionnaire.

The PAD would be tailored as closely as possible to
the license application to simplify later development.

This includes drafting Exhibit A (Project Description), Exhibit B (Project Operations), Exhibit F (Project
Drawings), and Exhibit G (Project Maps) and
structuring the resource sections to meet the
requirements of Exhibit E.

Per the schedule developed during the initial internal
meetings, HDR will provide REU with individual
sections of the PAD for the first round of review and
comment5
, generally three at a time and starting with
the Project Description and Operations, spread over
the first half of 2026. HDR will provide a minimum
of two weeks for REU staff to review the documents
and provide comments. The entire PAD with all
comments addressed will be provided to REU for a
second round of review and comment approximately
five months prior to the PAD filing, so there is ample
time for REU to review (at least 2 weeks) and HDR to
address the comments. All documents will be placed
on an internal SharePoint, developed and maintained
5 HDR assumes that REU’s comments will focus on the Project Description and Operations and that any legal review will occur when the entire document is provided to REU for review.

perform their reviews.

Filing of the PAD would occur no later than February
28, 2028 (5 years prior to license expiration), though
HDR’s proposed schedule includes filing at the
earliest date, September 10, 2027 (5.5 years prior to
license expiration). A notice of the filing of the PAD
and NOI and the TLP request will be published in a
local newspaper, like the Record Searchlight. The City
of Redding’s website will host the public relicensing
documents (or links to the FERC eLibrary) to provide
access to relicensing participants. HDR will also
provide a copy of the PAD and NOI to local libraries.

Consultation with Regulatory Agencies and Other
Interested Parties
Informal consultation under Section 7 of the ESA and
Section 106 of the NHPA is anticipated to require
consultation and meetings with the NMFS, USFWS,
Native American Tribes and SHPO, respectively.

Informal Section 7 Consultation
Informal Section 7 Consultation with NMFS is
assumed to be required due to the presence of
steelhead- Central Valley DPS and EFH for Chinook
salmon in Clear Creek below Whiskeytown Dam6.

HDR anticipates a total of six meetings for informal
consultation with the NMFS during the relicensing.

A Biological Assessment and EFH Assessment will
need to be developed as part of the informal Section
7 consultation with NMFS.

Informal Section 7 consultation with the USFWS may
be required for terrestrial species, but the Project’s
footprint and operations limit possible effects on
endangered terrestrial species7
. Information gathered
for the PAD, including through data gap surveys, will
be used to determine if consultation and measures
for the protection, mitigation and/or enhancement
are needed or likely to be required for terrestrial
endangered species. Two meetings with USFWS are
anticipated for informal Section 7 consultation.

Informal Section 106 Consultation
HDR will complete consultation with SHPO and
Native American Tribes, as needed, during the
development of the license application. A separate
cultural resources report, based on data collected
during development of the PAD, will be written for
use during consultation with Native American Tribes
and SHPO. To successfully conclude Section 106
consultation, concurrence from SHPO is needed on:
1) the definition of the Area of Potential Effect;
2) concurrence on the effort to identify resources;
3) concurrence on any National Register eligibility
recommendations; and
4) agreement on ‘no effect’ or ‘no adverse effect’ on
historical properties.

Part of the process will be verifying that Native
American Tribes were consulted. Information from
Section 106 consultation will be provided in the DLA,
if consultation is completed prior to distribution, or in the FLA.

Meetings with Regulatory Agencies and Other
Interested Parties
The TLP requires only one meeting during the
course of relicensing, the Joint Meeting and Site
Visit, described below. HDR also proposes that REU
meet with resource agencies to discuss proposed
measures and management plans, if needed.

Joint Meeting and Site Visit
Within 120 days of the filing of the NOI and PAD,
the Joint Meeting (18 C.F.R.§16.8(b)(4)), the only
meeting required under the TLP, will be held. As part
of planning, the proposed Joint Meeting date and site
visit will be published in the PAD, though relicensing
participants will need to be consulted about the date.

Those relicensing participants who express interest
in the Joint Meeting will be offered a site visit. An
option for an in-person Joint Meeting will be offered,
but it is likely most relicensing participants will attend the virtual meeting, which HDR will record to provide
the FERC-required audio recording.

The Joint Meeting offers another opportunity to learn
which relicensing participants intend to be part of the process and what their focus will be. Their discussion
will foreshadow upcoming PAD comments and study
requests, so REU can prepare to respond to them as
much as possible before they are filed, no later than
60 days after the Joint Meeting.

Recommended Meetings
While not required, HDR recommends (based on
experience) that instead of waiting for agencies,
like CDFW and USFWS (separate from Section 7
consultation), to provide comments on the DLA
and propose license measures, REU should work
on measures with resources agencies during
DLA development. REU would draft proposed
measures to discuss at virtual meetings, basing
them on Project information, agency interest, and
likelihood of FERC to add a similar (but likely more
complicated) measure to the license if requested
by an agency(ies). If agreement on measures can
be reached, they will be included in the DLA. REU
keeps a measure of control on potential measures by
leading consultation with the agencies and reduces
the risk of unexpected agency filings recommending
license measures after the filing of the FLA and any
substantive disagreements that lead to another
required Joint Meeting (18 C.F.R. § 16.8 c(6)(i)&(iii)).

Based on HDR’s current understanding of Unit 9,
no disagreements on measures are expected, and
thus, the second Joint Meeting is not specifically
scheduled/budgeted for, but if needed, HDR’s
included budget for agency meetings will be used for
a Joint Meeting. If a Joint Meeting is required, HDR
will prepare the required agenda, notifications, and
meeting materials as well as leading the meeting on
behalf of REU. The results of the Joint Meeting will be documented in the FLA.

Develop Study Plans and Conduct Studies
Fill in Data Gaps by Completing Surveys Early
Based on HDR’s current understanding of the
Project, potential resources where data gaps may be
identified include three topics:
• cultural resources,
• terrestrial biological resources8, and
• water quality including temperature and dissolved
oxygen (DO) in Clear Creek downstream of Unit 9.

Therefore, to fill in anticipated data gaps and to
curtail formal study requests later in relicensing,
HDR recommends performing data collection for
those three resources and including the data in
the requisite resource sections of the PAD. This
early data collection effort should fill most, if not
all, of the data gaps for Unit 9 and address many
of the anticipated resource agencies’ interests.

More details on the proposed data gap surveys are
provided below9
.

HDR has successfully used this approach, including
two of our reference projects. Completing
these surveys and completing a robust data gap
analysis will help REU avoid potentially costly
and time-consuming study plan development
and implementation.

Packet Pg. 82
Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility Cultural and Tribal Resources
Per the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA and
FERC, HDR will conduct a cultural resources data gap
survey to identify any potential historic properties,
including Tribal resources, which may be affected by
continued operations & maintenance of the Project.

To accomplish this, HDR will request a records
search from the Northeast Information Center of the
California Historical Resources Information System
at California State University, Chico which maintains
the records for Shasta County. The records search
will identify any previously recorded archaeological
or built environment resources, within or adjacent
to, the FERC Project Boundary. The search will also
provide details on previously conducted cultural
resource studies. HDR will also contact the Native
American Heritage Commission and request a
search of the Sacred Lands File as well as a current
Tribal representative contact list to assist with Tribal consultation. Concurrent to the records search
request, HDR will submit an archaeological survey
permit request to the BOR to be issued under the
authority of the Archaeological Resources and
Protection Act.

Following a review of the records search data, HDR
will conduct a pedestrian survey of the defined
FERC Project Boundary to update any previously
recorded cultural resources and/or to fully document
any newly encountered resources on the State of
California, Department of Parks and Recreation 532
Series forms. HDR understands that the Redding
Power Plant was completed in 1986 and, as such,
will not meet the standard 50-year-old threshold for
documentation or National Register of Historic Places
eligibility consideration until 2036. HDR assumes
that any appurtenant facility included under the FERC
license dates to the same period and, as such, does
not propose to conduct a built environment survey
of the power plant. However, HDR does note that
consideration of the facility for NRHP eligibility will be a condition of the new license when it reaches the
50-year-old threshold.

The results of the cultural resources survey will be
compiled into a technical report to assist REU with
their Section 106 consultation requirements with
Native American Tribes, BOR, FERC, and the SHPO,
described above. The compiled data in the report
will also assist and inform the development of the
cultural and Tribal resource sections in the PAD,
DLA, and FLA.

Terrestrial Resources
Surveys will consist of a general habitat assessment
and vegetation mapping to describe the ecology
of the Project area and provide information about
the potential for special-status wildlife species to
occur in the Project area. Concurrently with these
activities, there will be a focused special-status plant survey and noxious weed survey, generally following
the CDFW’s Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating
Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations
and Sensitive Natural Communities10, consisting of
two full passes of the Project area. Any special-status species occurrences will be mapped and data on
the occurrences collected. A general assessment of
aquatic features in the Project area will also occur
during these surveys. A formal aquatic resources
delineation, following U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) guidelines, is not proposed for terrestrial
studies as it is not needed unless REU is proposing
new construction activities that may impact an
aquatic feature. Biological assessments will include
an evaluation for the potential for occurrences of
listed or proposed species under the federal and
state ESA.

Water Resources
HDR will monitor water temperature, DO, and water
quality parameters downstream of Unit 9 Power Plant
in Clear Creek. Data collection will include installing continuous water temperature and DO loggers at
up to two accessible sites in Clear Creek. Including
one site downstream of the Unit 9 Power Plant
discharge and a second site could be considered
further downstream if determined necessary. Note
that each site will include duplicate loggers to avoid
data losses due to equipment malfunctions or other
issues. The loggers will be deployed in spring and

and cooling trends. An additional site visit will occur after equipment installation for data downloads and
equipment checks in the summer. This continuous
monitoring will allow for evaluation of temperature
and DO during periods when the power plant is
operating and when it is offline.

In addition to continuous temperature and DO
monitoring, during each site visit (i.e., spring logger installs, summer data download, and fall equipment
removal), HDR will measure instantaneous water
quality parameters with a multiparameter water
quality meter downstream of the Unit 9 Power
Plant to provide water quality information. If
possible, some attempt will be made to include
water quality measurements both when the power
plant is operating and when it is offline. HDR will
coordinate closely to identify safe access points,
schedule installations, and determine optimal timing
for sampling. Data collected will be compiled into
accessible files that could be used to develop a report to characterize downstream temperature, DO, and
water quality conditions.

HDR will also collect water quality grab samples
at one location downstream of the Unit 9 Power
Plant and, if needed, a second location further
downstream. Samples will be collected once when
the project is operating and once when it is offline. A California-certified laboratory will be used to analyze and provide results on the samples.

HDR will work with REU on the best timing for grab
sampling and logger installations, as well as areas
for safe access. Data will be included in the water
resources and biological sections of the PAD.

Conducting Studies Safely
A Site-Specific Safety Plan for the Unit 9 relicensing
will be developed by the PM and one or more
experienced field staff as part of the initial set-up
of the Project. This will include, at a minimum,
information on the Project scope, location and
specific sites, schedule for field work, details on how field work will be implemented, key staff safety roles, information on reporting unsafe conditions and/or
incidents, an emergency action plan, information on
potential safety risks and how to minimize/mitigate
them, details on trainings field staff are required to
have, what personal protective equipment and other
safety equipment are required, check-in/checkout procedures, and any other relevant Projectspecific safety information. Given the location of the Project, we will also include a section on fire safety
and smoke inhalation. Nearby hospitals and other
resources will be listed, as will emergency contact
information for all crew members. Field staff are
required to read, be familiar with and acknowledge
through signature the Safety Plan before going into
the field. A copy of the Safety Plan is also carried into the field by each team performing work.

Additionally, a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) will be
completed for each specific field task on the Project
by the team performing that task. This analysis takes
a deeper look at the actions that will be necessary
to complete the fieldwork, starting with whatever
travel is required. Each step is evaluated for potential hazards and control measures to be implemented
to eliminate or minimize each hazard. The JHA form
also lists the necessary equipment and training
required to perform the task safely. Field team
members and subcontractors are responsible for
being actively involved in the hazard analysis. JHAs
are living documents that are required to be updated
as field conditions and activities change.

Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility Respond to Comments and Engage in Dispute Resolution
HDR anticipates some comments from resource
agencies on the PAD and DLA11. Comments on the
PAD not related to studies would be addressed in the
DLA. Comments on the DLA would be addressed in
the FLA. A comment tracker, in the form of a table,
would be included as part of the Consultation Log
for the Project, which will be included in all major
relicensing documents.

While not required under the TLP, HDR recommends
that if any study requests are filed with FERC in
response to the PAD and Joint Meeting, a response
be drafted and filed with the FERC as part of closing
out the First Stage Consultation. For the purposes
of this proposal, HDR assumes that only the three
data collection efforts described above would be
needed. Additional data collection efforts or study
development and implementation are not included
in this scope of work. HDR also assumes that there
will be no formal study disputes requested by any
resource agencies given the lack of anticipated
issues, REU’s lack of control of flow in Clear Creek,
and experience with other TLP relicensings (where no
formal study disputes have occurred).

HDR does not anticipate that there will be a need for
formal dispute resolution, but as described above,
one of the proposed meetings could be repurposed
for a required second Joint Meeting to address
disagreements on measures.

License Application
Per the TLP (and ILP), REU must provide a
DLA to relicensing participants for review and
comment, so this section is broken into DLA and
FLA development.
11 Based on HDR’s experience and current understanding of Unit 9, no study disputes requiring FERC resolution are anticipated. 12 HDR assumes that REU’s comments will focus on the Project Description and Operations and that any legal review will occur when the entire document is provided to REU for a second review.

Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility Draft License Application
With the expectation of no relicensing studies, HDR
recommends starting the development of the DLA
(18 C.F.R.§ 4.51 and 16.8(c)) in 2028, giving REU
ample time to complete the document before the
October 11, 2030 due date. HDR’s proposed schedule
would complete the DLA by May 2030. Providing
the DLA early to relicensing participants allows more
time to respond to comments and assemble the FLA
ahead of the internal deadline to file no later than
February 28, 2031.

The new exhibits that will be developed for the DLA
are Exhibit C (Construction History), Exhibit D (Cost
and Financing), and Exhibit H (Miscellaneous Filing
Information). Confidential, Privileged, and Critical
Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) contained
in those exhibits will be excluded from the public
version of the DLA but will be filed consistent with
FERC requirements. The other sections will be
updated and reformatted from the PAD, as needed,
for use in the DLA. Comments and questions from
relicensing participants on the PAD will be addressed
in the DLA. The DLA will also include REU’s
proposed protection, mitigation and enhancement
measures that would be included in the new license.

The review process for the DLA will flow similarly
to the PAD, with HDR providing REU three to four
sections at a time for initial review (minimum of
2 weeks), spread over the development period,
addressing all comments and then providing the
complete DLA for a second review several months
prior to distribution to relicensing participants for
90-day review12. All documents will be placed on
an internal SharePoint, developed and maintained
by HDR, and REU staff will be provided access to
perform their reviews.

Final License Application
Relicensing Participants have 90 days to review
and provide written comments on the DLA. Once
the comments are received, HDR will review
and organize the comments for REU’s review
including a recommended response approach for
each comment.

HDR will update the FLA based on comments
received on the DLA, new information that may be
available, and additional changes agreed to by REU.

To make REU’s review of the FLA more efficient,
it will only provide individual sections for review
(minimum of 2 weeks) if the section has substantial
updates from the DLA. The complete FLA will be
provided to REU for final review and sign off no
less than two weeks prior to filing with FERC. All
documents will be placed on an internal SharePoint,
developed and maintained by HDR, and REU staff will
be provided access to perform their reviews.

The Notice of Filing (18 C.F.R.§ 4.32(b)(6)) will be
submitted so that it is published twice within 14 days
of filing the FLA, in a local newspaper, like the Record Searchlight. The City of Redding’s website will host
the FLA (or links to the FERC eLibrary) to provide
access to relicensing participants. Filing of the FLA
would occur no later than February 28, 2031.

PROJECT MEETINGS/REU COORDINATION
Throughout the course of the relicensing, HDR will
coordinate closely with REU using monthly meetings
and summaries.

Following the initial Kick-off Meeting, HDR will
schedule with REU a series of hour-long virtual
meetings, with an agenda provided in advance.

During the development of major relicensing
documents, meetings will be scheduled monthly. At
other times, meetings will occur every three months,
or as directed by REU. HDR’s PM and APM will
attend all meetings, with the Strategic FERC Advisor
attending at least half of the meetings. As the
relicensing proceeds, some meetings may be shorter
or replaced by written updates, in agreement with
REU. A written project update, which will include
notes from the monthly meeting, will be provided to
REU at the end of each month.

HDR will use an internal SharePoint website for
document production, review, and storage. HDR’s
SharePoint lead will develop, manage, and provide
access to REU staff to the website through the
FLA filing.

HDR will also assist with additional relicensing
tasks as requested by REU, including review of
FERC decisions related to Unit 9 and other items
requested. HDR will engage subject matter experts
(e.g., water quality, fisheries, cultural and wildlife) as needed to provide support on tasks.

DELIVERABLES
Project Schedule
No later than one month after contract execution,
HDR will refine the schedule, included as Figure 2,
to include the Kick-off Meeting, review of existing
project documents, and other required and relevant
milestones. In addition, HDR will provide a draft
schedule for distributing PAD sections to REU for
review, along with the timeframe for second review
of the full document. In mid-2027, HDR will develop a
similar schedule for the DLA and FLA. REU will have
a minimum of two weeks to review and comment on
the initial project schedule and subsequent updates.

Invoices and Progress Reports
HDR will submit monthly invoices and monthly
progress reports covering the work under the
contract to REU’s PM no later than the first week of
each month. The progress report shall include the
following, at a minimum:
• A brief description of the work completed in the
previous month;
• A brief description of the work projected to be
completed by the end of the current month;
• Summary level information regarding scope,
schedule, and budget; and
• Contractual items that may need to be addressed.

HDR will discuss the content and format of the
progress reports at the Kick-off Meeting and bring a
proposed template.

STAFFING PLAN
HDR developed its proposed team with Unit 9
relicensing in mind. Our proposed PM, Robin Kent,
is experienced in leading relicensings with smaller
Project footprints and less anticipated environmental
impacts where the focus can be on completing the
relicensing process in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. Working closely with Robin, as they have
for the last 17 years, is our Senior FERC Advisor,
Chuck Vertucci, and APM, Matt Paquette, who bring
additional experience in navigating the relicensing
process. Our proposed Principal-in-Charge, Elizabeth
Dawson, brings an owner’s perspective to our project
team and will support REU and the HDR team in this
advisory role. Finally, HDR’s key technical leads have
held these roles on numerous previous relicensings
while working closely with Robin and Chuck. HDR
has intentionally limited the key personnel proposed
for Unit 9 relicensing to control cost and maintain
efficiencies; however, our broader team of FERC
regulatory specialists and subject matter experts
are available to assist should the relicensing require
additional resources. These staff will include junior,
midlevel and senior:
• Aquatic and Terrestrial Biologists
• Cultural Resource Specialists
• Planners
• Global Information Systems (GIS)/Data Solutions
Specialists, and
• Project administrators and accountants.

City of Redding | FERC Relicense of Whiskeytown Unit 9
Additional Information
Post-FLA Activities
While REU’s RFP includes only those activities
required through the filing of the FLA (and HDR’s
scope and cost proposal reflect that), HDR has
provided a summary of the typical post-FLA activities
that REU will need to complete prior to receiving a
new FERC license. HDR assumes REU will issue a
change order or new contract for the completion of
these activities.

Once REU files the FLA, the relicensing transitions
into the post-FLA phase which is less constrained by
specific schedules and is somewhat out of the control
of REU, although it remains important to review and
respond to items as they occur.

Initially, while FERC prepares to deem the license
application ‘Ready for Environmental Analysis’
(REA) it may issue Additional Information Requests
(AIR), or clarifications to REU. If FERC issues AIRs,
HDR would work with REU on the required response
including a schedule. Considering the lack of
complexity of Unit 9, HDR anticipates minimal AIRs.

Post-FLA activities will also include FERC’s National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process related
to site visits, public meetings, and review of
FERC’s scoping documents. These would include
a FERC-led site visit and public meeting if FERC
chooses to have them. FERC will also issue Scoping
Documents 1 and 2. There may be a need to
respond FERC’s REA, stakeholder comments on
REU’s FLA, and comments, recommendations,
and preliminary mandatory conditions and fishway
prescriptions filed by others. REU may also prepare
and file comments on FERC’s draft Environmental
Assessment (EA)/Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS), comment on Federal Power Act license
condition recommendations filed by wildlife
agencies and participate in FERC’s post-license
application meeting.

In addition to FERC’s NEPA process, REU will also
need to apply for a Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC) within 60 days of the REA
notice. This would include participating in a prefiling meeting with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) (if needed), and filing proof
of the application with FERC. As part of the WQC
process, REU also needs to complete environmental
review under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) where it can serve as the lead agency.

Considering the lack of control over downstream
flows and that it is assumed REU is not proposing
any changes to the Project, HDR believes a Notice
of Exemption (NOE) will be appropriate to satisfy
CEQA. HDR would support REU to review the draft
WQCs, if released by the SWRCB, focusing primarily
on the conditions, and develop initial suggestions
regarding whether REU should comment on the draft
WQC, including the alternative REU might propose.

Once FERC completes its NEPA process, consultation
under Section 7 (Endangered Species) and Section
106 (Cultural Resources) is complete, and REU
provides a valid water quality certification (or proof
of waiver); FERC has the necessary information to
issue REU a new license.

Exceptions and Deviations
HDR’s proposed approach includes one proposed
deviation to REU’s scope in the RFP- HDR’s proposed
scope, schedule, and budget assumes REU will
choose to request the TLP and that FERC will
approve it.

As described in the Project Methodology section,
HDR recommends REU request the TLP and plan
for it from the outset of the relicensing process for
numerous reasons which includes more flexibility,
less required meetings and deliverables, and cost
savings compared to the ILP. HDR has provided in the
separate Project Costs submittal an estimated overall
cost for the relicensing using the ILP and showing the
cost savings of using the TLP.

REFERENCES
HDR has worked on over 30 relicensings in California
(See Figure 1), which allows us to bring many
lessons learned to the Unit 9 relicensing. In addition, our proposed Project Team regularly coordinates
across HDR’s national relicensing practice, which
has led over 100 additional relicensings. However,
HDR recognizes that each relicensing is different
and based on our understanding of the Unit 9
relicensing, we selected four recent projects that
share similarities to the Unit 9 relicensing to highlight our relevant experience. Each of these projects has
a smaller footprint, is using FERC’s TLP, has a goal
to complete the relicensing as efficiently and costeffectively as possible, and used similar HDR staff. Packet Pg. 90 Attachment: HDR Engineering, Inc. Proposal (4.5(a)--Budget Resolution & Award RFP Schedule 5633 Whiskeytown Hydro-Electric Facility

Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project FERC
Relicensing
South Sutter Water District
Yuba, Placer, and Nevada Counties, California
HDR provided related strategic consulting and facilitation services requested by South Sutter Water District (SSWD) for its 6.8 MW Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 2997, which consists of one main dam, one powerhouse with an associated switchyard, and appurtenant facilities and structures, including recreation facilities at Camp Far West Reservoir and gages.

The relicensing is utilizing FERC’s TLP and the required NOI, PAD, DLA, and FLA, have been filed with FERC as well as a revised license application in 2023. HDR supported SSWD with several meetings with interested federal, state, and local agencies, Native American tribes, non-governmental organizations, and members of the public.

HDR also led the development and implementation of 11 different studies to fill in identified information gaps including water quality, fisheries, wildlife and plants, recreation, and cultural resources. HDR supported SSWD with the development of several management plans filed with the FLA which included meetings with California Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and California State Water Board. The relicensing is currently in the post-FLA phase with additional tasks remaining including supporting NEPA, CEQA, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and ESA Consultation with NMFS.

Licensing challenges included clearly defining SSWD’s ability to store and manage water with its existing infrastructure, how non-project facilities downstream influences aquatic communities, limiting the geographic scope of the studies and effects analysis, and the complexities of Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and Section 7 of the ESA.

FERC-Licensed Transmission Lines Compliance and
Relicensing
Pacific Gas and Electric Company
Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Fresno, Napa, Nevada, Placer, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Yolo, and Yuba counties, California Since 1999, HDR has worked with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) on the FERC-licensed transmission lines. PG&E has 11 transmission line-only licenses: Camp Far West, Donnells-Curtis, French Meadows, Friant, Monticello Powerhouse, Narrows No. 1 and 2, New Melones, Pardee Tap No. 2 & Camanche Tap, Rollins (and Deer Creek-Drum), Sly Creek, and Woodleaf-Kanaka.

Currently, HDR works on all 11 projects, including preparing for the Monticello Powerhouse, Pardee Tap No. 2 & Camanche Tap and Friant for relicensings. All three have licenses expiring in the next seven years. HDR has previously assisted PG&E with the successful relicensing and license issuance for Donnells-Curtis, French Meadows, Narrows No. 1 and 2, Rollins, Sly Creek, and Woodleaf-Kanaka, while Camp Far West’s license is anticipated in 2024 or 2025.

Since 2006, HDR has worked on license compliance for newly issued licenses, starting with Donnells-Curtis. At this time, HDR assisted PG&E with compliance on DonnellsCurtis, French Meadows, Narrows No. 1 and 2, Rollins, Sly Creek, and WoodleafKanaka. Compliance includes annual consultation with the Forest Service and BLM, annual trainings of PG&E staff and contractors working on the projects, review of proposed operation and maintenance activities, and annual review of special-status species listings. Additional activities including botanical surveys and reporting, management plan review and update, license amendments and FERC filings.

Narrows Hydroelectric Project FERC Relicensing
Yuba Water Agency
Yuba County, California
HDR provided related strategic consulting and facilitation services requested by Yuba Water Agency (YWA) for its 12 MW Narrows Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 1403, which consists of 1) one 1,077-foot-long tunnel that connects a USACE tunnel to the Project’s penstock; 2) a 266-ft-long steel pipe penstock that connects the Project tunnel to the Project’s powerhouse and includes a surge pipe; 3) a 12 megawatt powerhouse; and 4) a powerhouse access tram.

The relicensing is utilizing FERC’s TLP and the required NOI, PAD, DLA, and FLA have been filed with FERC. HDR supported YWA with several meetings with interested federal, state, and local agencies, Native American tribes, non-governmental organizations, and members of the public. HDR also led targeted studies to collect additional information related to water quality, terrestrial resources (i.e., bats and special-status plants), and cultural resources. The relicensing is currently in the postFLA phase with additional tasks including supporting NEPA, CEQA, ESA Consultation, and Section 106 Consultation.

Licensing challenges included avoiding NMFS’s insistence that the project be responsible for fish passage at USACE’s Englebright Dam, measures for the protection of ESA-listed fishes in the lower Yuba River, reasonably incorporating proposed Voluntary Agreement (VA), coordinated operations with other power projects in the watershed included YWA’s own Yuba River Development Project, and responding to study requests.

This subdivision shall not be construed to excuse the prompt and continued performance of the duties required of Contractor herein.

D. The obligation to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless set forth in this Section applies to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Approve and authorize a change in use for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program grant funds, moving from focusing on zero emissions vehicles to an energy efficiency project to replace lighting at the Redding Sports Park.

Fiscal Impact
Redding Electric Utility (REU) was awarded a $149,160 grant through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program in 2024. Staff is seeking approval to amend the grant’s originally stated purpose – moving from focusing on zero emissions vehicles (ZEV) to an energy efficiency project at the Redding Sports Park, both of which are allowable uses under the terms of the grant. The total purchase price for new field lighting for one field is approximately $156,000. The remaining $6,840 will be paid utilizing the REU energy efficiency program funds, which is specified for use in energy efficient improvements.

The grant operates on a reimbursement basis. REU has an account set up to temporarily cash flow the purchase, based on the prior grant approval. When the reimbursement is received, funds will be paid directly to REU.

Updating the lighting infrastructure for one field is expected to provide an annual savings of $11,000 and significantly reduce energy consumption. There is no impact to the General Fund with this action.

Alternative Action
Council could choose not to change the use in grant funds or provide staff with alternate direction.

Report to Redding City Council January 12, 2026
Re: 4.6(a)--Authorize change in EECBG grant funds for the Redding Sports Park Page 2 Background/Analysis
Council authorized REU to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program at their April 18, 2023 meeting. The REU Director was authorized to sign and execute all documentation, including a funding agreement and any future amendments, to facilitate the grant should it be awarded. REU planned to utilize the grant to fund a study for the City to comply with the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) Rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board. However, the grant only allowed for specific consulting firms and the project was not eligible for funding. Rather than return the grant funds, REU and Community Services collaborated to find an alternate and beneficial use for the funds.

Though approved by the grant agency and within the Director’s authority to amend the grant agreement, staff is seeking Council approval for the change in use of funds because the use differs from Council’s original approval.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The installation of the new lighting is a maintenance activity. On June 17, 2025, Council determined that maintenance activities performed by various departments on City facilities and equipment are categorically exempt from review under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. No further action is required.

Council Priority/City Manager Goals

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to a grant submittal to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program:
(1) Authorize the Redding Electric Utility Director, or designee, to submit a grant application for $149,160 to fund a comprehensive City-wide Zero Emission Vehicle Replacement and Infrastructure Plan and prepare all documentation and informational sheets necessary for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program with the U.S.

Department of Energy; and
(2) Authorize the Redding Electric Utility Director to sign and execute all documentation, including a funding agreement and any future amendments, to facilitate the grant should it be awarded.

Fiscal Impact
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program has allocated $149,160 to the City of Redding (City). Authorization to apply for EECBG Funds will have a minimal fiscal impact, as the City expects total project/program costs not to exceed the $149,160 award. The recommendation has no financial impact on the General Fund.

Alternative Action
The City Council may choose not to apply for the funds, or provide alternative direction to staff.

Re: 4.5(b)--Authorize Grant Application Seeking EECBG Program Funds Page 2 Background/Analysis
The pending Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) Rule, issued by the California Air Resources Board, requires 50 percent of new medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MDV & HDV) to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEV), and 100 percent of new purchases must be ZEV starting in 2027. Some counties, such as Shasta, have a low-population exemption and are given an extension to 2027. However, at that time, 100 percent of new MDV/HDV public fleet purchases must be zero-emission.

The City currently has 229 fleet vehicles that will be potentially subject to the ACF Rule; 163 are scheduled to reach or surpass their life expectancy before the rule becomes effective in 2027.

Any MDV/HDV fleet replacement beyond January 1, 2027, must be 100 percent ZEV.

The U.S. Department of Energy, through the EECBG Program, made funds available to eligible local governments to cut carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and reduce energy use.

Staff intends to use the EECBG funds to hire Frontier Energy, Inc., to provide an implementable Fleet Replacement and Infrastructure Plan that will guide the City in complying with federal and state regulatory obligations and support the conversion of the City’s fleet to ZEV. The draft consulting and professional services contract is attached for reference. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Grant Pre-Award Sheet.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution naming the designed plaza adjacent to Diestelhorst to Downtown Trail “Phurus Topi” (Heart Reflection Place). P
h
urus pronounced (Pood-uus) has a dual meaning of
heart and reflection, Topi pronounced (Toe-pee) means place.

Fiscal Impact
The Redding Cultural Overlook project (Project) is grant funded. Expenses for new signage and updates to the City of Redding (City) website will be paid with grant funds. There is no General Fund impact.

Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the renaming of Project to Phurus Topi (Heart Reflection Place) and provide staff with an alternate direction.

Background
The Project, located above the Sacramento River on the Diestelhorst to Downtown Trail at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Court Street, originated from community input during discussions held by Shasta Living Streets at a Cultural District meeting in 2019. Local Native participants expressed a strong desire for a cultural asset representing Native heritage within the boundaries of the Redding Cultural District.

In December 2022, the Redding Overlook package, developed by Shasta Living Streets and Jones and Jones Architects, showcased a design inspired by the forms and patterns of Wintu Tribe of Northern California (Wintu) baskets. The overall curving movement of the space reflects the shapes and lines of the baskets, while the pavers are designed to resemble woven patterns. Additionally, interpretive panels will narrate the stories of the place and its history, MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026

featuring three to four panels that will highlight the Wintu Tribe, the railroad, Mount Shasta, and the culture of bicycling.

These concepts and designs were incorporated within an application to the California Department of Transportation’s Clean California Local Grant Program, approved by the Redding City Council in March 2023. The proposal, in partnership with Shasta Living Streets, requested $1,500,000 to construct the Project. In September 2023, the City was awarded $1,240,000 for the Redding Cultural Trail Overlook project.

On January 12, 2025, the Wintu Tribal Council held a meeting to discuss ways to connect Wintu culture with this location, discuss designs and imagery, Wintu words, themes and names, and project name suggestions. During this meeting, P
h
urus Topi was suggested based on the intention
of the plaza to stop, rest, and reflect. The Wintu Tribal Council agreed to suggest Phurus Topi to move forward. In March 2025, pursuant to City Council Policy No. 1203 (Park Facilities Naming Policy), the Director of Community Services established an advisory committee for the Project. The committee included representatives from Shasta Living Streets, a former Redding councilmember, the Wintu, a local train historian, VIVA Downtown, and City staff. Their goal was to develop a recommendation for naming the new park plaza.

At its meeting on March 31, 2025, the advisory committee reached a consensus to name the park P
h
urus Topi (Heart Reflection Place). Phurus pronounced (Pood-uus) has a dual meaning of heart and reflection, Topi pronounced (Toe-pee) means place. The decision reflects the project's purpose of honoring the requests and long-standing hopes of local Native community members for a cultural asset in Redding that celebrates the heritage and culture of the local Native people.

On June 11, 2025, Community Services Advisory Commission (CSAC) meeting members voted in favor to affirm the recommendation of the advisory committee to name the new park plaza - P
h
urus Topi.

The Wintu People
Language
The Wintu people speak a language also called Wintu, which is part of the Penutian language family. The language features complex grammatical structures and a rich vocabulary that highlights their deep connection with the natural world. It played a crucial role in their culture, serving as a means for storytelling, sharing wisdom, and fostering social cohesion.

The Wintu community has launched a dedicated effort to revitalize their language. Renaming the Overlook Park Plaza P
h
urus Topi reflects recognition of the Wintu history and culture.

Park Facilities Naming Policy
Based on the guidelines established in the attached Policy and in consideration of what would best identify Redding’s new park plaza, the advisory committee’s review concluded with Phurus Topi as the preferred name.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended action is exempt from further review per Section 15061 (b)(3). This general rule exemption is allowed, provided it can be determined with certainty that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

BACKGROUND
The act of naming park facilities is significant and meaningful. A name can invoke powerful emotions, create images and help to recall history. The naming of a park facility which includes parks, trails, park buildings, and facilities or open spaces, is intended to be a permanent act and, therefore, should be approached in a thoughtful manner. The naming of a park facility should take into consideration the past, present, and future history of the land, its use, and our relationship to it.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to provide a systematic and consistent approach to naming our park facilities.

POLICY
A. It is the policy of the Redding City Council that the naming or renaming of parks and/or recreational facilities will serve the interests of the City and provide a worthy and enduring legacy for the City's parks and recreation system.

B. The City of Redding strives to name parks, natural areas, recreational facilities, and trails to best reflect the significance of the facility or individual feature and the community it serves while also providing a worthy and enduring legacy for the City of Redding' s parks and recreation system. The name of park assets must be appropriate to the location and remain relevant as the community grows and changes.

C. To this end, the City supports the consideration of naming requests within the following broad categories:

1. Events, People, and Places
The history of a major event, place, or person may play an important role in the naming or renaming of a park, as communities often wish to preserve and honor the history of a city. This history may include its founders, other historical figures, its Native American heritage, local landmarks, prominent geographical locations, and natural and geological features.

2. Extraordinary Individuals
The City has benefited, through the years, from the contributions made by many outstanding individuals. This category is designed to acknowledge the sustained contribution that has been made by such individuals to the City and the development and Packet Pg. 200 Attachment: CC Policy 1203 - Park Facilities Naming Policy (4.6(b)--Adopt Resolution Naming Designed Plaza Adjacent to the Diestelhorst Trail,

management of the City's park and recreation system.

3. Major Gifts
Over the years, the Redding community has benefited from the generosity of residents, businesses, and foundations. On occasion, the significance of such donations may warrant consideration being given to requests from either the donor or another party to acknowledge such a gift by naming.

DEFINITIONS
A. Naming: The permanent name assigned by the City of Redding to a given park facility.

B. Park Facility: Any body of water, land, trail, open space, archeological site, skate park, building, structure, recreational facility, or other appurtenance owned by the City.

C. Director: In this policy, shall refer to the Director of Community Services.

D. Commission: In this policy shall refer to the Community Services Advisory Commission.

E. Donation: The giving, to the City of Redding, of property, goods, or cash, generally with no expectation of return.

F. Sponsorship: The giving of financial or in-kind support from an individual or corporation for a specific service, program, facility, park, or event in return for certain benefits.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
A. In considering proposals for the naming or renaming of park facilities, one or more of the following general principles will be considered. When naming a park asset, the proposed name will:

1. Engender a strong positive image

2. Be appropriate, having regard to the park asset' s location and/or history

3. Have historical, cultural, or social significance for future generations

4. Commemorate places, people, or events that are of continued importance to the City, region, State, and/or nation

5. Honor and respect native and tribal communities

6. Have symbolic value that transcends its ordinary meaning or use and enhances the character and identity of the park and/or recreational facility

7. Have broad public support

8. Avoid undue commercialization of the park and/or recreational facility

9. Be associated with the respective street or subdivision where located Packet Pg. 201 Attachment: CC Policy 1203 - Park Facilities Naming Policy (4.6(b)--Adopt Resolution Naming Designed Plaza Adjacent to the Diestelhorst Trail,

PROCEDURES & GUIDELINES
A. Review Committee
An ad hoc park naming advisory committee will be convened by the Director and will review naming suggestions submitted by the community and staff. The committee will consider names based on the criteria outlined below and with consideration of public comment.

B. Naming Categories
In general, the naming of park facilities will fall into one of the following categories:

1. Naming for Events, People, and Places
When a Park Facility is associated with or located near events, people, and places of historical, cultural, or social significance, consideration will be given to naming that Park Facility after such events, people, and places. In considering such proposals, the relationship of the event, person, or place to the park and/or recreational facility must be demonstrated through research and documentation, including consideration of impacts on disadvantaged communities.

2. Naming for Extraordinary Individuals
Naming a Park Facility for an outstanding individual is allowed posthumously ( at least three years from the date of passing), and where that person' s significance and good reputation have been reviewed and acknowledged in the City's, State's, and/or nation' s history.

When considering the naming of a Park Facility after a person, consideration will be given when:
a. The person was exceptionally dedicated or demonstrated excellence in service in ways that made a significant contribution to the land, community, City of Redding, State of California, or the United States;
b. The person volunteered and gave extraordinary help or care to individuals, families, or groups, or support to the community;
c. The person risked his or her life to save or protect others; or d. The person demonstrated a commitment to equity, inclusion, and justice.

3. Naming for Donations
A significant donation made to the City of Redding that adds considerable value to the parks and recreation system may be recognized through naming.

As a guideline, the threshold for considering the naming of a Park Facility will include one or more of the following:

a. Land for the majority of the park was deeded to the City by the donor without fee credit.
b. Contribution of a minimum of 60% of the capital construction costs associated with developing the park/recreational facility.
c. Provision of a minimum 20-year endowment for the continued maintenance, operation, and/or programming of the park asset.

Donors seeking to name an asset associated with major donations in honor of an individual must follow the principles and process that apply to naming a park for an outstanding person. Exceptions will be considered by the Director and the park naming advisory committee.

information on the current name and the rationale for requesting a new name.

E. Naming Approval Process
A detailed step- by-step process is listed at the end of this document. What follows is a summary of that process.

Upon receipt of a naming application, the Director will convene the park naming advisory committee.

The park naming advisory committee may suggest modification of the name proposed by an applicant, with the agreement of the applicant.

Once the park naming advisory committee has identified a preferred name, the recommendation will be presented to the Director in writing by the supporting staff person.

A recommendation from the committee must have either the consensus of the committee or a 2/3 majority vote in support of the name.

The Director will take a recommendation to the Commission, which will take public comment prior to taking action on the request. The Commission may convene additional public meetings to gain additional information prior to making the naming recommendation.

The Commission will forward its recommendation to the City Council.

F. Research
It is essential that any name, especially names referencing individuals and/or families, be thoroughly researched. Some suggestions for learning more about the history of a name include:

1. Historic Plat Maps and Sanborn Maps

2. California Archives: Available at https:// oac.cdlib.org/

3. Google search for online documents or references

4. Library search for documents or references ( ask a research librarian for assistance)

5. Shasta Historical Society

6. US Census Archives

7. National Archives: http:// www.archives. gov/index.html

8. Area tribes and native community groups

9. SHPO - State Historic Preservation Office

10. California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names: https:// cacgn. ca.gov/ Communicating Naming Decisions
Within two weeks, the Director will be responsible for communicating the meeting dates and outcomes to the applicants, the Commission, and the park naming advisory committee.

When a new name has been chosen, the Director will publicize the name and direct its use Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: CC Policy 1203 - Park Facilities Naming Policy (4.6(b)--Adopt Resolution Naming Designed Plaza Adjacent to the Diestelhorst Trail,

thereafter. All graphical representations within the park system are subject to design standards and will be replaced over time.

G. Appeals
Any applicant whose proposal to name/ rename a park facility is denied by the Commission may appeal to City Council by petition through the Director within 30 calendar days of the Commission' s decision. The Director will schedule the appeal to City Council within 60 days of receipt of the appeal.

INTERIM NAMES
The City of Redding sometimes acquires land. The City of Redding will assign the new parcel a name temporarily following established data management systems.

In general:

1. Parcels acquired contiguous to another that are intended to expand the site will be named for the original site.

2. New, free- standing parcels acquired for future development as a park will be named based on the street infrastructure or historical reference. ( e.g. downtown plaza property).

3. Natural Area acquisitions will be named for prominent or significant geographic features, if present, and approved by the Director.

NAMING PROCESS STEPS
The naming process should be completed prior to the opening of a new park or facility.

1. Staff will review submitted proposals for completeness and adherence to the guidelines.

2. Within 60 days of receipt of a complete application for naming, the Director shall convene an ad hoc park naming advisory committee of up to seven members. Members will be recruited from relevant groups which may include but not limited to the Commission, the Planning Commission, the Shasta Historical Society, and other stakeholders relevant to the facility being discussed.

3. The park naming advisory committee reviews proposals, conducts additional research, and develops a written recommendation for the Community Services Advisory Commission. If none of the submitted proposals are acceptable to the committee, the committee may submit a new proposal based on their discussions and public input. All park naming advisory committee discussions will be held in open public meetings. Notes from meetings will include reasons for and against submitted names. The amount of time required to complete this work will depend on the number of proposals, amount of research, and level of controversy in the process.

4. The Community Services Advisory Commission reviews recommendations and either:
a. Accepts the park naming advisory committee recommendation and forwards the recommendation to City Council,

ii. The park naming advisory committee may suggest a new option based on their discussions and public input to date; or
iii. The process starts over with a new solicitation of names.

The Community Services Advisory Commission will respond to any park naming advisory committee recommendation within thirty days of receiving the recommendation.

5. If the naming recommendation is approved by the Commission, it is referred to the City Council for final action.

6. If the naming recommendation is approved by the City Council, the new name is implemented. The decision of the City Council is final.

7. Applicants will be notified of the City Council' s decision within two weeks via email and/or mailed letter.

Re: 4.11(d)--Bid Negotiation No. 5531 Liberty St Sidewalk Improvement Project Page 2 Project cost components are estimates and some shifting of the project development, construction management, and construction contingency funds may be necessary to balance the project within the approved budget.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the bid for the project and provide staff with alternate direction. Without this project, pedestrian accessible routes will continue to be deficient, and there is a risk of losing CDBG and ARPA funding.

Background/Analysis
Attached is a tabulation of project bids received and opened on October 31, 2024. The apparent low bid was received from Zeis Construction (Zeis). However, after staff reviewed all seven proposals and created a bid tab it was apparent that an error had been made in Zeis’ proposal.

The error made by Zeis was a mistake in the calculation for bid item 2, where they used the total price as the unit price. Per the Instructions to Bidders in the project Special Provisions, if there is a discrepancy between unit prices and totals, unit prices will prevail. Staff consulted with the City Attorney and confirmed this is not a mistake that can be waived as it would be a material change to Zeis’ bid. Therefore, after staff made corrections to Zeis’ bid proposal, as shown in the attached bid tab, they were no longer the low bidder. Staff has contacted Zeis to inform them of the mistake, that it cannot be waived, and that they were no longer the low bidder.

The low bid in the amount of $489,708 was received from SnL Group, Inc. of Redding, California. The engineer's estimate was $484,250. Total project development costs for this project are estimated to be $150,000. Project development costs include engineering, surveying, right-of-way, environmental, and permit and utility connection fees.

The project consists of replacing damaged portions of sidewalk, curb, gutter and asphalt concrete on Liberty Street, Eureka Way, East Street and Trinity Street that have been severely damaged by tree roots. In addition, the project will replace damaged and aged water meter boxes, valve boxes, and signs, as well as remove existing problem trees, replacing with new trees that will not damage infrastructure, and install irrigation.

Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the project and determined that it is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, per Section 15301 – Existing Facilities.

Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities, structures, or equipment involving negligible or no expansion of use. The project will repair damaged portions of sidewalk, as well as associated infrastructure, and replace damaged trees. The project includes the repair or replacement of existing infrastructure in the same location and serving the same purpose and capacity. Therefore, the project has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment and further environmental review is not required.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving reimbursement of expenditures associated with the City of Redding Pump Station 1 Replacement with monies provided by the State of California, acting by and through the State Water Resources Control Board and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.

Fiscal Impact
The total costs for the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project (Project) are estimated to be approximately $73 million. Staff intends to obtain state and federal grants and loans to fund the majority of the Project costs. Project costs in excess of grant and loan funds received, as well as required local match costs and any interest or fees associated with loans, will be funded by the City of Redding’s (City) Water Utility (Utility) Fund and potentially through the issuance of municipal bonds. The Project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program.

To date, the Utility has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and has saved approximately $17 million for the Project. In the future, if opportunities are identified, staff may request City Council (Council) approval for application of additional grants and/or loans for the Project.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to adopt the resolution. Without the adoption of the resolution the City would not be eligible for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan funds.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1, located within the Sacramento River, will be completely replaced and relocated upriver because it has reached the end of its service life, its current location is in a shallow portion of the river that significantly limits its capacity during low river levels, and its MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026

Report to Redding City Council January 15, 2026
Re: 4.11(b)--Adopt Resolution to Fund Pump Station 1 Replacement Page 2 capacity will not meet expected future demands. For additional background and details concerning the Project, please refer to the previous staff reports.

On September 19, 2023, March 21, 2024, April 1, 2025, and June 3, 2025, the Council approved the City as an applicant and increased funding request amounts for five grants and two loans associated with the Project, including a DWSRF loan through the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). On September 19, 2023, the Council also adopted a resolution authorizing the City to apply for funding through the SWRCB. For additional details concerning the grant and loan applications, please refer to the previous staff reports.

The SWRCB provides low-interest DWSRF funds for a wide range of drinking water infrastructure projects, including projects for treatment, transmission, distribution, source, storage, consolidation, and creation of new systems. The DWSRF program provides loans at interest rates that are typically much lower than most other loan programs or municipal bonds, so the Utility hopes to fund the majority of Project costs with DWSRF funding. In December 2023, the City applied for a DWSRF loan for $40 million for the Project, slightly above the total estimated Project costs at that time. However, the Project was not included in the SWRCB’s 2024-2025 or 2025-2026 fundable lists because it was not as far through the environmental permitting process as some other projects that had applied at that time.

Staff and the City’s design consultant, Jacobs, have been coordinating and meeting regularly with the SWRCB regarding the Project. The City has now applied for all of the necessary environmental permits for the Project and the SWRCB recommended that the City update and resubmit its application for Project funding by the end of 2025 to potentially be included in the 2026-2027 fundable list. On December 24, 2025, the City updated and resubmitted its application for $50 million, the maximum amount allowed under the program. The SWRCB also informed staff that the attached reimbursement resolution will need to be adopted for the City to be considered for the fundable list, which is expected to be released in February 2026. A draft of the resolution was included with the City’s application and an adopted reimbursement resolution needs to be provided to the SWRCB.

The resolution has been approved as to form by the City Attorney.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. On April 22, 2025, the Redding Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2025-01 certifying the CEQA Environmental Impact Report (EIR-2025-00478) and approved the Use Permit application (UP-2024-01017).

with the grants will come from the Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The proposed grant programs do not require a local match, but applicants who offer some local match will typically be scored and ranked higher by the administering agencies and have a higher likelihood of receiving grant funding.

The project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program and it has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and accumulated a balance of approximately $16.5 million.

City staff may request approval from City Council (Council) for application of additional grants and/or loans for the project in the future, as opportunities are identified.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to apply for funds under one or all of these grant programs and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1 (PS01) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately one-quarter mile west and upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP). The FWTP is the City’s largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands.

PS01 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, which makes it a critical component of the City’s water supply system.

PS01 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 29 million gallons-per-day. Staff plans to completely replace PS01 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its pumping capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District dam, which is downriver;
• The existing intake and screens may not meet long-term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species;
• Pumping capacity will need to be increased to meet the future demands of the FWTP; and • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during an earthquake.

On May 5, 2020, the Council authorized execution of a Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-8541) with Jacobs to perform an evaluation of project alternatives and prepare a Preliminary Design Report for replacement of PS01. Based on recommendations in the Preliminary Design Report, the City has elected to proceed with a project alternative to replace and relocate PS01 at a new river trail location, approximately 1,600 feet west and upriver from the existing station.

The new PS01 location is in a deeper area within the Sacramento River that will allow for better operations and reliability. The new location is also adjacent to Jenny Creek, which presents an opportunity for the City to restore Jenny Creek in the area, a need that state regulating agencies have indicated the City will be required to perform, at some point. The creek restoration work will include removal of two existing culverts and restoration to an open channel. The culverts are currently preventing passage of Chinook salmon and steelhead into Jenny Creek. The restoration work will reconnect spawning salmon and steelhead in the Sacramento River to Jenny Creek, improve the pedestrian experience along the river trail, as well as open grant opportunities for the project.

On March 7, 2023, the Council authorized execution of an amendment to Jacobs’ contract for the second phase of professional consultant services associated with the project, including environmental permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, final design, and engineering services during bidding and construction for the selected project alternative. Under its scope of services, Jacobs has assisted the City in identifying these grant opportunities and will continue to assist the City with applications for the grants, if approved by the Council.

The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) grant program provides direct technical and financial assistance to remove instream barriers and restore aquatic organism passage and aquatic connectivity for the benefit of Federal trust resources. It aims to maintain or increase fish populations to improve ecosystem resiliency, provide quality fishing experiences, support the modernization of infrastructure, and contribute to enhanced community resilience to the impacts from climate change and other public safety hazards. NFPP funds a variety of project types including, but not limited to, dam removals, culvert replacements, floodplain restoration, and the installation of fishways. The Jenny Creek restoration portion of the project makes it a good candidate to potentially receive grant funding from this program.

The Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) was created by statute in 1947 to conserve California’s wildlife resources and provide for public recreation. WCB awards grants for fish and wildlife habitat conservation, restoration, and for development of compatible public access facilities. Its Stream Flow Enhancement Grant Program also presents a funding opportunity for the project with the Jenny Creek restoration work included.

The Transformational Habitat Restoration and Coastal Resilience Grant program aim is to support transformational habitat restoration projects that restore marine, estuarine, or coastal ecosystems, using approaches that enhance community and ecosystem resilience to climate hazards. It prioritizes funding for habitat restoration actions that demonstrate significant impacts, rebuild productive and sustainable fisheries, contribute to the recovery and conservation of threatened and endangered species, promote climate-resilient ecosystems, especially in tribal, indigenous, and/or underserved communities, and improve economic vitality. The project should be a good candidate for funding from this program because of the included Jenny Creek restoration work.

State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) provides drinking water State Revolving Fund (SRF) funds for a wide range of drinking water infrastructure projects, including projects for treatment, transmission, distribution, source, storage, consolidation, and creation of new systems.

City staff and Jacobs are confirming that the City will meet disadvantaged community requirements for loan forgiveness (grants) for this project. The City intends to apply for these grant funds to supplement design and construction costs associated with the Pump Station 1

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 2 Background
The City’s water system includes two water treatment plants, approximately 555 miles of conveyance and distribution pipelines, 17 groundwater wells, 10 pump stations, and 12 reservoirs providing a total of 33.5 million gallons of storage. The City’s Pump House 1 (PH1) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately 1/4 mile upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP), its largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands. PH1 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, making it a very critical component of the City’s water supply chain.

PH1 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (MGD).

In 2002, a feasibility study entitled “Draft Feasibility Study for the City of Redding Pump House No. 1 Fish Protection Project” (Feasibility Study) was prepared for the City by CH2M Hill (now Jacobs). Available funding was insufficient at that time to construct a new pumping facility or even to complete many of the recommended modifications. Therefore, the City was directed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries to pursue an interim retrofit solution for fish screening, which was installed at PH1 in 2006. However, the retrofitted screens depart from standard criteria under certain river and operating conditions and as such are not a long term solution.

City staff plans to completely replace PH1 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) dam downriver. • The existing intake and screens may not meet long term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species.
• Its capacity will need to be increased to meet the future capacity of the FWTP. • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during a design earthquake.

City staff will consider four project alternatives, or combinations thereof, for replacement of Pump House 1, including:
• Replacement at the existing Pump House 1 location;
• Replacement at a new river trail location, approximately 2,000 feet upriver; • Replacement at the Keswick Reservoir; and
• Replacement with a riverbank filtration collector well system.

Design services for the PH1 replacement will be broken into two phases. Phase 1 of the design is included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will include preliminary design services for evaluation of the project alternatives, and preparation of a preliminary design report to allow the City to determine the appropriate project alternative to pursue.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 3 Phase 2 of the design is not included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, preparation of contract documents, and design services during the bid and construction periods for the selected project alternative. If the City is satisfied with Jacobs’ services at the completion of Phase 1 (expected spring of 2021), then staff intends to recommend at that time that the Council authorize negotiation for an amendment with Jacobs to add Phase 2 design services to the Contract.

Otherwise, a separate RFP will be required for Phase 2 engineering services.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
A review and selection panel was formed with five members from the Public Works Water and Engineering Divisions. The panel’s evaluation was based on consultants’ ability and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering services that will be required, including both Phases 1 and 2.

Four proposals, including design fees in sealed envelopes, were received on January 24, 2020.

The panel members evaluated and scored each proposal based on consultants’ understanding of the project/scope, project approach, experience with fish screens, experience with riverbank filtration collector wells, qualifications of the project team and manager, familiarity with City projects and required procedures, ability to complete projects on-time and within budget, and the proposed teams’ location. After reviewing the proposals, the panel elected to interview all four of the firms that proposed.

Oral interviews were held on March 12, 2020, at City Hall. Each consultant team was allowed 55 minutes to provide a presentation and answer the City’s questions. The questions asked were the same for all consultant teams and were not provided to any team until they arrived for the interview; at which time, each participant was provided the questions in writing. Review Panel members evaluated and scored each consultant team based on their presentation and responses to the questions.

After the oral interviews, the review panel:
• Combined scores from the consultants’ proposals and oral interview to determine their overall score;
• Ranked consultants based on their overall score; and
• After ranking, opened consultant’s sealed fee envelopes.

The panel ranked the firms as follows:

Rank Firm Fee
1 Jacobs $488,829
2 Black & Veatch $576,210
3 West Yost $997,956
4 Stantech $1,160,516
Applying the evaluation criteria to the proposals and oral interview scoring, it is the opinion of the selection panel that Jacobs is the most qualified team to provide the required services. This opinion is in part based on Jacobs’:
• Excellent fish screen and riverbank collector well design experience and qualifications; • Environmental and compliance team has a proven track record with similar projects;

Attention: Josh Watkins, Water Manager
City of Redding
777 Cypress Avenue
Redding, CA 96001
Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project (Phase 1 – Preliminary Design)
Dear Mr. Watkins:

This letter presents Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.’s (JACOBS) proposed Scope of Engineering Services (Exhibit A) for the Pump House 1 Replacement Project - Phase 1 Preliminary Design (Project). We are proposing to perform the work under the City of Redding Consulting and Professional Services Agreement on a not-toexceed time and materials basis per the rate schedule (Exhibit B).

Per Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 5094, the effort associated with this Project will require two separate phases.

Phase 1 will involve preliminary design (alternatives evaluation) services and preparation of a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) with recommendations. Phase 2 will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, and preparation of contract documents, as well as design services during the bid and construction periods for replacement of Pump House 1 (PS1)and installation of a new raw water pipeline, as required. The City will issue a contract for Phase 1. If the City is satisfied with the PDR and the JACOBS services to that point, the City intends to provide JACOBS a contract amendment to work on Phase 2.

Project Introduction
The City of Redding (City) PS1 supplies approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (mgd) of Sacramento River water to the Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP) through two 30-inch-diameter pipelines. It is the primary delivery source and a critical component for the FWTP. PS1 is currently located on the right bank (looking downstream) of the Sacramento River along the Sacramento River Trail approximately 0.25 miles upstream of the Diestelhorst Bridge.

PS1 is scheduled for replacement based primarily on the following:
▪ Current location is within significant habitat for endangered winter-run salmon and the current screening is not optimal for species protection and does not meet state and federal fishery criteria. ▪ Limited intake capacity during low river stages due to shallow river depth during times when the AndersonCottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) diversion dam flashboards are not in place. This situation makes the City dependent on ACID operations at the diversion dam, which typically has flashboards installed only from April to November.

Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project PPS0402201345RDD 2
▪ The City’s General Plan identified PS1 as being located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and recommended that the structure be evaluated for its ability to withstand damage during a design earthquake.
▪ Proposed FWTP expansion up to a capacity of 42 mgd per the City’s Water Master Plan. ▪ Limited workspace for maintenance around the pumping units and other equipment.

The objective of Phase 1 Preliminary Design is to provide review of alternatives, sufficient engineering, major design elements, economic information, and screening the alternatives so the City can decide how to proceed with implementation of the Project. Alternatives, including combinations thereof, will be selected in a collaborative process with the City to be evaluated during Phase 1 and include the following:
▪ Alternative 1 – Existing Pump Station 1 Location
▪ Alternative 2 – New River Trail Location
▪ Alternative 4 – Keswick Reservoir Location
▪ Alternative 5 – Riverbank Filtration Collector Well System Scope of Engineering Services
The scope of engineering services to provide for the Project definition phase are outlined by tasks below:

Task 1 – Project Management, Meetings, and Quality Control Subtask 1.1 – Project Management

Subtask 2.2 Geotechnical Investigations
JACOBS will perform geotechnical and geophysical investigations necessary to provide sufficient data for Phase 1.

Geophysical refraction surveys will be performed to provide profiles with well-contrasted changes in seismic velocity that facilitates interpretation of subsurface stratigraphy. The seismic velocity of the rock will evaluate the feasibility of excavation, or excavatability, of the rock and feasibility of driving sheet piles for scour protection and cofferdam construction.

One geophysical refraction survey line is proposed for each Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 (two lines total), but no survey lines will be provided for either Alternative 4 or Alternative 5. The survey reveals subsurface strata to the anticipated excavation depth. Following the completion of the geophysical survey, up to two soil borings will be drilled adjacent to the river trail at the location of the proposed pump station.

The potential for liquefaction will be evaluated from the borehole data, as liquefaction mitigation would significantly contribute to the cost of the alternative. Samples are tested in the laboratory to evaluate their consistency and properties.

Up to two soil borings total will first be drilled at two potential collector well sites. The sites are identified as Area 4 in the 1972 report to the City by Ranney, and an area on the south side of the river near the ACID Fish Screen.

If the soil borings find adequate sands and gravels are present for a potential collector well and the City approves the pumping well site, up to one 12-inch-diameter pumping well will be completed.

Three observation wells would be installed at approximate radial distances between 30 to 150 feet from the pumping/test well at a location approved by the City. These wells would be used to monitor how the water table responds to pumping from the test well. Following development of all the wells, the test well would be pumped for a minimum of 24 hours while observing the response in the monitoring wells. The results of the pumping test will be used to estimate the hydraulic capacity of the proposed collector well site.

Assumptions: The soil boring drilling and geophysical surveys are performed during the course of one working day at each location. The well installation development and testing would be completed during approximately 2 weeks at each location. It is assumed that site access is provided for the geophysical crew and drill rigs. It is assumed that no permits will be needed to perform the geophysical survey. Well permits will be obtained through Shasta County. The geophysical survey and drilling crews will work under the supervision of JACOBS.

Assume that City encroachment permits will be required for borings and City will waive the encroachment permit fees.

Deliverables: A geotechnical data report will be prepared to summarize the field investigation and testing results.

The geologic hazards associated with each alternative will be discussed and a determination will be made of the potential for a future collector well at up to two sites. A geotechnical data report will be incorporated in the PDR.

Subtask 2.3 Surveying and Mapping
Ground surface surveys, both on bank and on the river bottom, will be performed as necessary to complete the preliminary design for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Two cross-sections perpendicular to the river will be surveyed at both the Alternatives 1 and 2 sites to determine preliminary facility elevations. Assumes two people

for one day in the field for this task. No surveying and mapping are included herein for Alternatives 4 and 5 because this information is not required for Phase 1 evaluations.

JACOBS will perform a preliminary right-of-way assessment and identify potential right-of-way issues based on readily available GIS data. Right-of-way surveys will be performed in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the PDR.

Task 3 – Preliminary Environmental Review
The purpose of this task is to evaluate the environmental viability and issues related to each proposed alternative. JACOBS will perform a screening-level review of the biological and cultural impact potential for each site based upon readily available data and technical experience in the Project area. This includes for each site:
▪ One-day reconnaissance level site visit with California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) and Biogeographic Information and Observation System Database (BIOS) data reviews for any potential endangered or listed species within each Project.
▪ Identification of the likely Area of Potential Effect (APE) and initial review by a JACOBS archaeologist and cultural resources specialist. California Historical Resource Information System (CHRIS) surveys will likely only be completed for the selected alternative in Phase 2. ▪ Review of water rights and evaluation for change in point-of-diversion. ▪ Preliminary delineation of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OWHM) is performed for an engineering alternatives review. Detailed wetland delineation and permitting is completed in Phase 2 once the Project is defined.
▪ Coordination with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW), and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine the preliminary feasibility of each selected alternative.
▪ Gather information related to existing river bank collector well systems adjacent to anadromous waterways in northern California and analyze their permitting and regulatory challenges.

Assumptions:
▪ Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) document will not be completed in Phase

1. LEDPA analysis will be included in Phase 2 if individual permit cannot be avoided from USACE. ▪ California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance is considered for each alternative with assumptions. CEQA and NEPA documents are included in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 4 – Construction Funding Evaluation
The purpose of this task is to provide a list of viable funding alternatives like California State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) for the project construction and rank them based on likelihood of successful application, associated interest rates, terms, design or construction related requirements, potential impacts to the project schedule, related reporting or monitoring requirements, and other important aspects associated with each funding alternative.

▪ Up to four funding mechanisms are reviewed and ranked in the PDR. ▪ Applications for funding submission are not included in Phase 1.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 5 – Preliminary Design Report
The purpose of this task is to provide the City of Redding with a PDR with the preferred alternative for the City to consider for Phase 2 Final Design.

JACOBS will follow a three-phase process for delivery of the preliminary design for the Project. This process includes producing preliminary deliverables at three phases of the design (Draft, Pre-Final, and Final Preliminary Design). At the Draft and Pre-Final phases, JACOBS will provide information for review and provide for resolution of key issues before proceeding to the next phase. The information collected, and the concepts defined in each consecutive phase, will form the basis for subsequent work.

Each phase will include specific deliverables, which are identified in the following subtasks. Design review workshops (at City Hall) with the City of Redding will be conducted at critical design milestones as identified in the following subtasks. The City of Redding will provide comments to JACOBS within 3 weeks of receiving the documents.

Project Design Criteria
The Project design criteria will be developed for evaluating the alternatives and will be included in the PDRs.

Engineering design criteria will address resource agency criteria, structural, civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical, conveyance pipeline, cost and financial analysis, and construction elements. Operations criteria will encompass diversion requirements and other operations to maintain water deliveries during construction.

Development and Evaluation of Alternatives and Components Alternatives will be developed in concert with the City. JACOBS anticipates up to four alternatives will be evaluated per the project design criteria. JACOBS will prepare information associated with each alternative to provide information for a project workshop with the City and agencies to ensure consensus of alternatives.

JACOBS will evaluate design criteria and prepare conceptual design documents for the alternatives and components. Conceptual design documents will include approximately three drawings per alternative: site plan, facility layout plan, cross sections, river and screen criteria, construction phasing approach, operations and maintenance (O&M), construction cost estimates, and life-cycle cost will be included in the PDRs.

JACOBS will provide a clearly defined ranking system and rank the four alternatives based on performance, capital and operating costs, environmental impacts, and other factors that should be considered.

Subtask 5.1 – Draft Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Draft Preliminary Design Report to document the information prepared to select the preferred design alterative for the Project.

The Draft PDR will include cost estimates for the remaining phases of the Project, including environmental and permitting, easement acquisition (City to provide land value assumptions), final engineering and design, services during construction (engineering support and construction management), construction, and O&M.

Construction cost estimates will be prepared to the level of accuracy based on the information available within normal industry standards. Estimates will be formatted in accordance with the Project design CSI specification format and segregated by facility. Where sufficient detailed information is lacking to obtain reasonably accurate prices of materials a contingency allowance may be applied. Escalation allowances will be used to provide an opinion of the estimated construction costs at the midpoint of construction.

This report is expected to be a working document at this stage of design.

JACOBS will facilitate a Preliminary Design Workshop with the City and agencies to review the preliminary design and receive input from the City and agencies.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Draft PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.2 – Pre-Final Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Pre-Final PDR for the Project. PDR review comments from the City and federal and state agencies will be incorporated. The Pre-Final submittal will include the concept drawings and preliminary construction costs. The PDR will include an estimate for annual operating costs, estimated service life for major components and equipment, and provide a life-cycle cost analysis for each alternative.

The Pre-Final PDR review submittal will recommend a project alternative and is intended to be essentially ready for City of Redding preferred alternative selection. The PDR will document the major design criteria used for the various project components.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Pre-Final PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.3 – Final Preliminary Design Report
This is the final phase of the PDR. Review comments from the Pre-Final PDR from the City of Redding review will be incorporated. JACOBS will prepare the Final PDR, which will be stamped by California Registered Professional Engineers. The Final PDR will include design criteria, to be used as the preliminary basis of design for Phase 2, for the City’s preferred alternative.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of P.E. stamped PDR documents.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize and approve the following relative to the funding of the City of Redding Pump Station 1 Replacement Project:
(1) Authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the State Water Resources Control Board Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program from $40 million to $50 million;
(2) Authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act Loan Program from $25 million to $40 million; and
(3) Authorize the City of Redding to increase its funding request amount from the U.S.

Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant Program (Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage Program) from $6 million to $8 million.

Fiscal Impact
The total costs for the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project (Project) are currently estimated to be approximately $73 million. The Engineer’s construction cost estimate has increased substantially since the early design phases and is now nearly double the previous estimates from September 2023, when City Council (Council) approved the applications for several grants and loans for the project. Estimated construction costs have increased due to cost escalation, an increase in the pump station building footprint and screen intake sizes, also from what appears to be low cost estimates by the design consultant in previous design phases. Staff intends to obtain state and federal grants and loans to fund the majority of the project costs. Project costs in excess of grant and loan funds received, as well as costs for the local matches associated with the grants and interest or fees associated with the loans will come from the City of Redding’s (City) Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program. To date, the Utility has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and has saved approximately $17 million for the project.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to increase the funding request amounts for these loan and grant programs and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1, located within the Sacramento River, will be completely replaced and relocated upriver because it has reached the end of its service life, its current location is in a shallow portion of the river that significantly limits its capacity during low river levels, and its capacity will not meet expected future demands. For additional background and details concerning the project, please refer to the previous staff reports attached.

On September 19, 2023, March 21, 2024, and April 1, 2025, Council approved the City as an applicant for five grants and two loans associated with the project, including grants administered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB), the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as well as loans administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).

Re: 4.11(d)--Approve City of Redding as Applicant for Grant Page 3 The City’s funding request amounts through these loan and grant programs were determined based on funding program limits and estimated project costs. Since the estimated project costs have increased significantly since the Council approved the applications for these grants and loans, it is recommended that funding request amounts be increased for the two low-interest loans, which could be the primary funding source(s) for the project, and the FHWA grant that could fund the Jenny Creek restoration work included in the project.

The City applied for a low-interest Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan through SWRCB in December of 2023 for $40 million, slightly above total estimated project costs at that time. The City’s application and environmental documents are still under review and the City is coordinating with SWRCB. The DWSRF program allows for applications up to $50 million and staff recommends that the application amount be increased to this maximum allowed, based on the current cost estimate for the project.

Staff intends to apply for a Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan through the EPA this summer. The maximum loan request amount through the WIFIA loan program is 49 percent of the total project cost. On March 21, 2024, the Council approved application for up to $25 million through this program, well over 49 percent of the estimated costs at that time. The recommended increase to $40 million is slightly above 49 percent of the current estimated cost.

On March 21, 2024, the Council approved application for up to $6 million through the FHWA Culvert AOP Program for the Jenny Creek restoration portion of the project (described in the May 21, 2024 staff report). The City applied for a grant in September of 2024 and the application is still under review. The recommended increase to $8 million is due to the increased cost estimate.

All of the grant and loan programs noted above are competitive and it is unknown at this point which programs will award funds for the project or how much will be awarded. Given the uncertainty of funding that will be received, the long timelines often associated with the review and award process for grants, and to ensure that adequate funding is secured to construct the project on schedule, staff intends to continue to seek and apply for funding opportunities, that could benefit the project and reduce costs to the Utility.

Environmental Review
This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further action is required. On April 22, 2025, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and upon conclusion adopted Resolution number 2025-01 certifying the Environmental Impact Report (EIR-2025-00478), thereby adopting the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and approved Use Permit Application UP-2024-01017 for the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project.

with the grants will come from the Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The proposed grant programs do not require a local match, but applicants who offer some local match will typically be scored and ranked higher by the administering agencies and have a higher likelihood of receiving grant funding.

The project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program and it has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and accumulated a balance of approximately $16.5 million.

City staff may request approval from City Council (Council) for application of additional grants and/or loans for the project in the future, as opportunities are identified.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to apply for funds under one or all of these grant programs and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1 (PS01) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately one-quarter mile west and upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP). The FWTP is the City’s largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands.

PS01 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, which makes it a critical component of the City’s water supply system.

PS01 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 29 million gallons-per-day. Staff plans to completely replace PS01 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its pumping capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District dam, which is downriver;
• The existing intake and screens may not meet long-term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species;
• Pumping capacity will need to be increased to meet the future demands of the FWTP; and • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during an earthquake.

On May 5, 2020, the Council authorized execution of a Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-8541) with Jacobs to perform an evaluation of project alternatives and prepare a Preliminary Design Report for replacement of PS01. Based on recommendations in the Preliminary Design Report, the City has elected to proceed with a project alternative to replace and relocate PS01 at a new river trail location, approximately 1,600 feet west and upriver from the existing station.

The new PS01 location is in a deeper area within the Sacramento River that will allow for better operations and reliability. The new location is also adjacent to Jenny Creek, which presents an opportunity for the City to restore Jenny Creek in the area, a need that state regulating agencies have indicated the City will be required to perform, at some point. The creek restoration work will include removal of two existing culverts and restoration to an open channel. The culverts are currently preventing passage of Chinook salmon and steelhead into Jenny Creek. The restoration work will reconnect spawning salmon and steelhead in the Sacramento River to Jenny Creek, improve the pedestrian experience along the river trail, as well as open grant opportunities for the project.

On March 7, 2023, the Council authorized execution of an amendment to Jacobs’ contract for the second phase of professional consultant services associated with the project, including environmental permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, final design, and engineering services during bidding and construction for the selected project alternative. Under its scope of services, Jacobs has assisted the City in identifying these grant opportunities and will continue to assist the City with applications for the grants, if approved by the Council.

The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) grant program provides direct technical and financial assistance to remove instream barriers and restore aquatic organism passage and aquatic connectivity for the benefit of Federal trust resources. It aims to maintain or increase fish populations to improve ecosystem resiliency, provide quality fishing experiences, support the modernization of infrastructure, and contribute to enhanced community resilience to the impacts from climate change and other public safety hazards. NFPP funds a variety of project types including, but not limited to, dam removals, culvert replacements, floodplain restoration, and the installation of fishways. The Jenny Creek restoration portion of the project makes it a good candidate to potentially receive grant funding from this program.

The Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) was created by statute in 1947 to conserve California’s wildlife resources and provide for public recreation. WCB awards grants for fish and wildlife habitat conservation, restoration, and for development of compatible public access facilities. Its Stream Flow Enhancement Grant Program also presents a funding opportunity for the project with the Jenny Creek restoration work included.

The Transformational Habitat Restoration and Coastal Resilience Grant program aim is to support transformational habitat restoration projects that restore marine, estuarine, or coastal ecosystems, using approaches that enhance community and ecosystem resilience to climate hazards. It prioritizes funding for habitat restoration actions that demonstrate significant impacts, rebuild productive and sustainable fisheries, contribute to the recovery and conservation of threatened and endangered species, promote climate-resilient ecosystems, especially in tribal, indigenous, and/or underserved communities, and improve economic vitality. The project should be a good candidate for funding from this program because of the included Jenny Creek restoration work.

State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) provides drinking water State Revolving Fund (SRF) funds for a wide range of drinking water infrastructure projects, including projects for treatment, transmission, distribution, source, storage, consolidation, and creation of new systems.

City staff and Jacobs are confirming that the City will meet disadvantaged community requirements for loan forgiveness (grants) for this project. The City intends to apply for these grant funds to supplement design and construction costs associated with the Pump Station 1

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5094, to provide engineering services for the Pump House 1 Replacement Project:
(1) Award to Jacobs;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Consultant and Professional Services Contract with Jacobs for Phase 1 (preliminary design) of the project, including project management, data review, geotechnical investigations, survey/mapping, preliminary environmental review, construction financing evaluation, and preparation of a preliminary design report for replacement of Pump House 1 for a not-to-exceed fee of $488,829; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $150,000.

Fiscal Impact
The total project costs are expected to be roughly $30 million. Funding for this project will come from the Water Utility Fund and the project is included in the current Capital Improvement Program. The City of Redding (City) plans to obtain State or Federal loans and/or grants, with the design consultant’s assistance, to fund a portion of the construction costs for the project.

Should funding from loans or grants not materialize, the City may need to issue municipal bonds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the contract for Phase 1 preliminary design services for the project. This alternative will delay or eliminate the construction of the Pump House 1 Replacement Project subjecting the City’s water system to significant vulnerabilities and potential regulatory action.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 2 Background
The City’s water system includes two water treatment plants, approximately 555 miles of conveyance and distribution pipelines, 17 groundwater wells, 10 pump stations, and 12 reservoirs providing a total of 33.5 million gallons of storage. The City’s Pump House 1 (PH1) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately 1/4 mile upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP), its largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands. PH1 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, making it a very critical component of the City’s water supply chain.

PH1 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (MGD).

In 2002, a feasibility study entitled “Draft Feasibility Study for the City of Redding Pump House No. 1 Fish Protection Project” (Feasibility Study) was prepared for the City by CH2M Hill (now Jacobs). Available funding was insufficient at that time to construct a new pumping facility or even to complete many of the recommended modifications. Therefore, the City was directed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries to pursue an interim retrofit solution for fish screening, which was installed at PH1 in 2006. However, the retrofitted screens depart from standard criteria under certain river and operating conditions and as such are not a long term solution.

City staff plans to completely replace PH1 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) dam downriver. • The existing intake and screens may not meet long term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species.
• Its capacity will need to be increased to meet the future capacity of the FWTP. • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during a design earthquake.

City staff will consider four project alternatives, or combinations thereof, for replacement of Pump House 1, including:
• Replacement at the existing Pump House 1 location;
• Replacement at a new river trail location, approximately 2,000 feet upriver; • Replacement at the Keswick Reservoir; and
• Replacement with a riverbank filtration collector well system.

Design services for the PH1 replacement will be broken into two phases. Phase 1 of the design is included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will include preliminary design services for evaluation of the project alternatives, and preparation of a preliminary design report to allow the City to determine the appropriate project alternative to pursue.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 3 Phase 2 of the design is not included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, preparation of contract documents, and design services during the bid and construction periods for the selected project alternative. If the City is satisfied with Jacobs’ services at the completion of Phase 1 (expected spring of 2021), then staff intends to recommend at that time that the Council authorize negotiation for an amendment with Jacobs to add Phase 2 design services to the Contract.

Otherwise, a separate RFP will be required for Phase 2 engineering services.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
A review and selection panel was formed with five members from the Public Works Water and Engineering Divisions. The panel’s evaluation was based on consultants’ ability and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering services that will be required, including both Phases 1 and 2.

Four proposals, including design fees in sealed envelopes, were received on January 24, 2020.

The panel members evaluated and scored each proposal based on consultants’ understanding of the project/scope, project approach, experience with fish screens, experience with riverbank filtration collector wells, qualifications of the project team and manager, familiarity with City projects and required procedures, ability to complete projects on-time and within budget, and the proposed teams’ location. After reviewing the proposals, the panel elected to interview all four of the firms that proposed.

Oral interviews were held on March 12, 2020, at City Hall. Each consultant team was allowed 55 minutes to provide a presentation and answer the City’s questions. The questions asked were the same for all consultant teams and were not provided to any team until they arrived for the interview; at which time, each participant was provided the questions in writing. Review Panel members evaluated and scored each consultant team based on their presentation and responses to the questions.

After the oral interviews, the review panel:
• Combined scores from the consultants’ proposals and oral interview to determine their overall score;
• Ranked consultants based on their overall score; and
• After ranking, opened consultant’s sealed fee envelopes.

The panel ranked the firms as follows:

Rank Firm Fee
1 Jacobs $488,829
2 Black & Veatch $576,210
3 West Yost $997,956
4 Stantech $1,160,516
Applying the evaluation criteria to the proposals and oral interview scoring, it is the opinion of the selection panel that Jacobs is the most qualified team to provide the required services. This opinion is in part based on Jacobs’:
• Excellent fish screen and riverbank collector well design experience and qualifications; • Environmental and compliance team has a proven track record with similar projects;

Replacement of Pump House 1 has been included in the City’s Water Master Plan for several years and is a necessary and critical improvement for the City’s water supply chain. Staff believes that Jacobs is the most qualified team to provide the required design services and recommends that the Council authorize recommendations listed herein, including award to Jacobs’ for an amount not-to-exceed $488,829.

Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project (Phase 1 – Preliminary Design)
Dear Mr. Watkins:

This letter presents Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.’s (JACOBS) proposed Scope of Engineering Services (Exhibit A) for the Pump House 1 Replacement Project - Phase 1 Preliminary Design (Project). We are proposing to perform the work under the City of Redding Consulting and Professional Services Agreement on a not-toexceed time and materials basis per the rate schedule (Exhibit B).

Per Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 5094, the effort associated with this Project will require two separate phases.

Phase 1 will involve preliminary design (alternatives evaluation) services and preparation of a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) with recommendations. Phase 2 will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, and preparation of contract documents, as well as design services during the bid and construction periods for replacement of Pump House 1 (PS1)and installation of a new raw water pipeline, as required. The City will issue a contract for Phase 1. If the City is satisfied with the PDR and the JACOBS services to that point, the City intends to provide JACOBS a contract amendment to work on Phase 2.

Project Introduction
The City of Redding (City) PS1 supplies approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (mgd) of Sacramento River water to the Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP) through two 30-inch-diameter pipelines. It is the primary delivery source and a critical component for the FWTP. PS1 is currently located on the right bank (looking downstream) of the Sacramento River along the Sacramento River Trail approximately 0.25 miles upstream of the Diestelhorst Bridge.

PS1 is scheduled for replacement based primarily on the following:
▪ Current location is within significant habitat for endangered winter-run salmon and the current screening is not optimal for species protection and does not meet state and federal fishery criteria. ▪ Limited intake capacity during low river stages due to shallow river depth during times when the AndersonCottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) diversion dam flashboards are not in place. This situation makes the City dependent on ACID operations at the diversion dam, which typically has flashboards installed only from April to November.

Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project PPS0402201345RDD 2
▪ The City’s General Plan identified PS1 as being located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and recommended that the structure be evaluated for its ability to withstand damage during a design earthquake.
▪ Proposed FWTP expansion up to a capacity of 42 mgd per the City’s Water Master Plan. ▪ Limited workspace for maintenance around the pumping units and other equipment.

The objective of Phase 1 Preliminary Design is to provide review of alternatives, sufficient engineering, major design elements, economic information, and screening the alternatives so the City can decide how to proceed with implementation of the Project. Alternatives, including combinations thereof, will be selected in a collaborative process with the City to be evaluated during Phase 1 and include the following:
▪ Alternative 1 – Existing Pump Station 1 Location
▪ Alternative 2 – New River Trail Location
▪ Alternative 4 – Keswick Reservoir Location

Subtask 2.2 Geotechnical Investigations
JACOBS will perform geotechnical and geophysical investigations necessary to provide sufficient data for Phase 1.

Geophysical refraction surveys will be performed to provide profiles with well-contrasted changes in seismic velocity that facilitates interpretation of subsurface stratigraphy. The seismic velocity of the rock will evaluate the feasibility of excavation, or excavatability, of the rock and feasibility of driving sheet piles for scour protection and cofferdam construction.

One geophysical refraction survey line is proposed for each Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 (two lines total), but no survey lines will be provided for either Alternative 4 or Alternative 5. The survey reveals subsurface strata to the anticipated excavation depth. Following the completion of the geophysical survey, up to two soil borings will be drilled adjacent to the river trail at the location of the proposed pump station.

The potential for liquefaction will be evaluated from the borehole data, as liquefaction mitigation would significantly contribute to the cost of the alternative. Samples are tested in the laboratory to evaluate their consistency and properties.

Up to two soil borings total will first be drilled at two potential collector well sites. The sites are identified as Area 4 in the 1972 report to the City by Ranney, and an area on the south side of the river near the ACID Fish Screen.

If the soil borings find adequate sands and gravels are present for a potential collector well and the City approves the pumping well site, up to one 12-inch-diameter pumping well will be completed.

Three observation wells would be installed at approximate radial distances between 30 to 150 feet from the pumping/test well at a location approved by the City. These wells would be used to monitor how the water table responds to pumping from the test well. Following development of all the wells, the test well would be pumped for a minimum of 24 hours while observing the response in the monitoring wells. The results of the pumping test will be used to estimate the hydraulic capacity of the proposed collector well site.

Assumptions: The soil boring drilling and geophysical surveys are performed during the course of one working day at each location. The well installation development and testing would be completed during approximately 2 weeks at each location. It is assumed that site access is provided for the geophysical crew and drill rigs. It is assumed that no permits will be needed to perform the geophysical survey. Well permits will be obtained through Shasta County. The geophysical survey and drilling crews will work under the supervision of JACOBS.

Assume that City encroachment permits will be required for borings and City will waive the encroachment permit fees.

Deliverables: A geotechnical data report will be prepared to summarize the field investigation and testing results.

The geologic hazards associated with each alternative will be discussed and a determination will be made of the potential for a future collector well at up to two sites. A geotechnical data report will be incorporated in the PDR.

Subtask 2.3 Surveying and Mapping
Ground surface surveys, both on bank and on the river bottom, will be performed as necessary to complete the preliminary design for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Two cross-sections perpendicular to the river will be surveyed at both the Alternatives 1 and 2 sites to determine preliminary facility elevations. Assumes two people

for one day in the field for this task. No surveying and mapping are included herein for Alternatives 4 and 5 because this information is not required for Phase 1 evaluations.

JACOBS will perform a preliminary right-of-way assessment and identify potential right-of-way issues based on readily available GIS data. Right-of-way surveys will be performed in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the PDR.

Task 3 – Preliminary Environmental Review
The purpose of this task is to evaluate the environmental viability and issues related to each proposed alternative. JACOBS will perform a screening-level review of the biological and cultural impact potential for each site based upon readily available data and technical experience in the Project area. This includes for each site:
▪ One-day reconnaissance level site visit with California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) and Biogeographic Information and Observation System Database (BIOS) data reviews for any potential endangered or listed species within each Project.
▪ Identification of the likely Area of Potential Effect (APE) and initial review by a JACOBS archaeologist and cultural resources specialist. California Historical Resource Information System (CHRIS) surveys will likely only be completed for the selected alternative in Phase 2. ▪ Review of water rights and evaluation for change in point-of-diversion. ▪ Preliminary delineation of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OWHM) is performed for an engineering alternatives review. Detailed wetland delineation and permitting is completed in Phase 2 once the Project is defined.
▪ Coordination with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW), and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine the preliminary feasibility of each selected alternative.
▪ Gather information related to existing river bank collector well systems adjacent to anadromous waterways in northern California and analyze their permitting and regulatory challenges.

Assumptions:
▪ Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) document will not be completed in Phase

1. LEDPA analysis will be included in Phase 2 if individual permit cannot be avoided from USACE. ▪ California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance is considered for each alternative with assumptions. CEQA and NEPA documents are included in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 4 – Construction Funding Evaluation
The purpose of this task is to provide a list of viable funding alternatives like California State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) for the project construction and rank them based on likelihood of successful application, associated interest rates, terms, design or construction related requirements, potential impacts to the project schedule, related reporting or monitoring requirements, and other important aspects associated with each funding alternative.

▪ Up to four funding mechanisms are reviewed and ranked in the PDR. ▪ Applications for funding submission are not included in Phase 1.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 5 – Preliminary Design Report
The purpose of this task is to provide the City of Redding with a PDR with the preferred alternative for the City to consider for Phase 2 Final Design.

JACOBS will follow a three-phase process for delivery of the preliminary design for the Project. This process includes producing preliminary deliverables at three phases of the design (Draft, Pre-Final, and Final Preliminary Design). At the Draft and Pre-Final phases, JACOBS will provide information for review and provide for resolution of key issues before proceeding to the next phase. The information collected, and the concepts defined in each consecutive phase, will form the basis for subsequent work.

Each phase will include specific deliverables, which are identified in the following subtasks. Design review workshops (at City Hall) with the City of Redding will be conducted at critical design milestones as identified in the following subtasks. The City of Redding will provide comments to JACOBS within 3 weeks of receiving the documents.

Project Design Criteria
The Project design criteria will be developed for evaluating the alternatives and will be included in the PDRs.

Engineering design criteria will address resource agency criteria, structural, civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical, conveyance pipeline, cost and financial analysis, and construction elements. Operations criteria will encompass diversion requirements and other operations to maintain water deliveries during construction.

Development and Evaluation of Alternatives and Components Alternatives will be developed in concert with the City. JACOBS anticipates up to four alternatives will be evaluated per the project design criteria. JACOBS will prepare information associated with each alternative to provide information for a project workshop with the City and agencies to ensure consensus of alternatives.

JACOBS will evaluate design criteria and prepare conceptual design documents for the alternatives and components. Conceptual design documents will include approximately three drawings per alternative: site plan, facility layout plan, cross sections, river and screen criteria, construction phasing approach, operations and maintenance (O&M), construction cost estimates, and life-cycle cost will be included in the PDRs.

JACOBS will provide a clearly defined ranking system and rank the four alternatives based on performance, capital and operating costs, environmental impacts, and other factors that should be considered.

Subtask 5.1 – Draft Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Draft Preliminary Design Report to document the information prepared to select the preferred design alterative for the Project.

The Draft PDR will include cost estimates for the remaining phases of the Project, including environmental and permitting, easement acquisition (City to provide land value assumptions), final engineering and design, services during construction (engineering support and construction management), construction, and O&M.

Construction cost estimates will be prepared to the level of accuracy based on the information available within normal industry standards. Estimates will be formatted in accordance with the Project design CSI specification format and segregated by facility. Where sufficient detailed information is lacking to obtain reasonably accurate prices of materials a contingency allowance may be applied. Escalation allowances will be used to provide an opinion of the estimated construction costs at the midpoint of construction.

This report is expected to be a working document at this stage of design.

JACOBS will facilitate a Preliminary Design Workshop with the City and agencies to review the preliminary design and receive input from the City and agencies.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Draft PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.2 – Pre-Final Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Pre-Final PDR for the Project. PDR review comments from the City and federal and state agencies will be incorporated. The Pre-Final submittal will include the concept drawings and preliminary construction costs. The PDR will include an estimate for annual operating costs, estimated service life for major components and equipment, and provide a life-cycle cost analysis for each alternative.

The Pre-Final PDR review submittal will recommend a project alternative and is intended to be essentially ready for City of Redding preferred alternative selection. The PDR will document the major design criteria used for the various project components.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Pre-Final PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.3 – Final Preliminary Design Report
This is the final phase of the PDR. Review comments from the Pre-Final PDR from the City of Redding review will be incorporated. JACOBS will prepare the Final PDR, which will be stamped by California Registered Professional Engineers. The Final PDR will include design criteria, to be used as the preliminary basis of design for Phase 2, for the City’s preferred alternative.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of P.E. stamped PDR documents.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to the City of Redding (City) Pump Station 1 Replacement Project:
(1) Authorize the City Manager to submit a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act loan application in an amount not to exceed $25 million;
(2) Authorize the City Manager to submit U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant Program (Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage Program) application in an amount not to exceed $6 million with a 20 percent local match of $1.2 million; and (3) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to complete the loan and grant submittal process and if awarded loan or grant funds, appropriate the funds, negotiate terms, if any and execute any agreements to implement either the loan or grant.

Fiscal Impact
The total Pump Station 1 Replacement Project (Project) costs are estimated to be approximately $46 million. City of Redding (City) staff intends to obtain state and federal grants and potentially loans to fund the majority of the project costs. Project costs in excess of grant and loan funds received, as well as costs for the local matches associated with the grants and interest or fees associated with the loans will come from the Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The Project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program. The Utility has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and has saved approximately $16.5 million for the Project to date.

City staff may request approval from City Council (Council) for application of additional grants and/or loans for the project in the future, as opportunities are identified.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to apply for funds under the Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan program or the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) grant and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1 (PS01) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately one-quarter mile west and upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP). The FWTP is the City’s largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands.

PS01 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, which makes it a critical component in the City’s water supply system.

PS01 was constructed in 1937 and has been in continual service since, with modifications and upgrades performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989. Staff plans to completely replace and relocate PS01 because it has reached the end of its service life, its current location is in a shallow portion of the river that significantly limits its capacity during low river levels, and its capacity will not meet expected future demands. The replacement station will be relocated approximately 1,600 feet west and upriver from the existing location to a deeper pool in the river. The new station will also have increased capacity to meet anticipated future demands, with proposed firm capacity of 42 million gallons per day (MGD) compared to its current capacity of 29 MGD. Project construction is anticipated to start in 2026 with completion expected in 2027 or 2028.

The new PS01 will be located adjacent to the confluence of Jenny Creek to the Sacramento River, which presents an opportunity for the City to restore Jenny Creek during the construction of the Project. Jenny Creek is currently conveyed through two culverts beneath the Sacramento River Trail. The culverts are failing and their outlets are typically above the Sacramento River level preventing fish passage, so restoration of Jenny Creek is a need that state regulating agencies have indicated the City will need to perform at some point. The Jenny Creek restoration work will remove the culverts and restore the open channel, and provide two new bridges for trail access in the area. It will reconnect spawning salmon and steelhead from the Sacramento River to Jenny Creek, improve the pedestrian experience along the river trail, as well as open grant opportunities for the Project.

Jacobs was selected to provide professional consulting services for the Project, including a preliminary design report, environmental permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, final design, and engineering services during bidding and construction for the project. Within its scope of services, Jacobs has assisted the City in identifying grant and loan opportunities and applying for grants. If application for the WIFIA loan and Culvert AOP Program Grant are approved by the Council, then Jacobs will assist staff with the applications.

Re: 4.11(c)--Approve City of Redding as Applicant for Grants to Fund Pump Station 1 Replacement Page 3
On September 7, 2023, the Council approved the City as an applicant for three grants and one loan associated with the Project, including grants administered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB), and the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), and a loan administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). A summary of the grants and loans that Council has approved applications for to date, and those that are requested for Council approval herein are provided in Table 1.

1. City cost share shown does not include potential fees or interest associated with loans.

Although the approved request total of $72 million and the total request of $103 million in the table above is much higher than the expected project cost of $46 million, it is unknown which of these funding sources will actually be awarded. The City was not selected for the USFWS National Fish Passage Program and there may be a high level of competition with the other programs. In addition, the eligible project costs through the NMFS grant are probably closer to $5 million (lower than the approved request limit of $25 million shown above), so the maximum funding that could come from the applications that Council has approved to date is likely closer to a maximum of $50 million.

Given the uncertainty of funding that will be received, the long timelines often associated with the review and award process for grants, and to ensure that adequate funding is secured to construct the Project on schedule, staff intends to continue to seek and apply for funding opportunities, if approved by the Council, that could benefit the Project and reduce costs to the Utility. If the City is fortunate and is awarded funding from grants or loans in excess of the project costs, then the Utility will utilize funding that will minimize its long-term costs. The Utility’s preferred funding sources are ranked from highest to lowest in the following Table 2.

Funding sources at the top would be utilized over sources at the bottom, as available.

Table 2- Preferred Funding Source Ranking
Rank Grant/Loan Program Reasons for Ranking
1 SWRCB- State Revolving Fund
(Principal Forgiveness, 0% interest)
No local match or interest.
2 Grant Programs No interest, but local match will likely be needed. 3 Water Utility Funds Insufficient funds for Project costs, but avoids loan interests.
4 SWRCB- State Revolving Fund
(with low interest rate)
Very low interest rates.
5 WIFIA Loan Interest rates likely higher than State Revolving Fund.

The WIFIA loan, which staff is requesting approval for application, is ranked the lowest of the identified funding options, but it could still be a good option to fund the Project if the other funding sources will not cover all Project costs. Staff’s intent, if Council approves, is to proceed with the initial steps for the WIFIA loan as a contingency plan to avoid project delays in the event that the other funding options do not become available.

The WIFIA program does not provide grants, but it still has a number of features and flexibilities that make it preferable to municipal revenue bonds and other loan programs for water, wastewater, and stormwater capital projects. Benefits include repayment period flexibility, low interest rates, an opportunity for a one-time renegotiation of the rate to a lower rate during the project implementation period, and lower initial costs/fees than municipal bonds. The repayment period for a WIFIA loan can be up to 35 years and the WIFIA program allows for the opportunity to delay the start of the repayment period up to five years after substantial completion of construction. Interest rates for WIFIA loans are set on the date the loan is closed and based on the U.S. Treasury State & Local Government Series interest rate for a comparable maturity. Interest rates are typically lower than municipal bond rates and currently the rate for a long-term WIFIA loan is approximately 4.4 percent.

The WIFIA loan program includes a two-part application process. If authorized by the Council, staff will proceed with part one of the process, which involves submitting a Letter of Interest to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If the EPA selects the Project, then the City would be invited to proceed to part two of the process and apply for the loan. EPA only selects projects that it expects will proceed to closing. If the City were to proceed to part two of the process and submit a full application, then the City would be required to pay EPA an initial application review fee of $100,000 at the time of the application to cover costs for EPA’s external contractors’ (legal, financial and technical) review costs. When the loan is finalized the City would be required to pay the actual costs for EPA’s outside contractors, which are expected to total $100,000 to $150,000, including the initial review fee. The Utility Fund would pay for the application review fees, if necessary, and these review costs could be included in the loan.

Staff intends to proceed with part one of the process, which does not require any fees, and then await responses from the State Revolving Fund and grant applications prior to proceeding with Phase 2 of the WIFIA process and paying any fees, if selected and necessary.

Re: 4.11(c)--Approve City of Redding as Applicant for Grants to Fund Pump Station 1 Replacement Page 5
The WIFIA program has a rolling selection process with funding available on an ongoing basis.

It announced in its Fiscal Year 2023 Notices of Funding Availability that up to $7.5 billion of financing will be available. The need for the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project and the public benefits that it will provide should make it a good candidate for EPA selection for a loan through its WIFIA program.

FHWA’s Culvert AOP Program is a competitive grant program that awards approximately $200 million in grants annually for projects that replace, remove, and repair culverts or weirs and meaningfully improve or restore fish passage for anadromous fish. It provides grants up to $50 million and would require a 20 percent non-federal match. The Jenny Creek restoration portion of the Project meets the selection criteria and makes the Project a good candidate for receiving funding through this grant program.

Environmental Review
Applying for a loan or grant funding is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required at this time. The design and environmental technical studies are currently under way for the Pump Station 1 Project. These studies will provide the information necessary to ensure CEQA compliance prior to construction.

with the grants will come from the Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The proposed grant programs do not require a local match, but applicants who offer some local match will typically be scored and ranked higher by the administering agencies and have a higher likelihood of receiving grant funding.

The project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program and it has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and accumulated a balance of approximately $16.5 million.

City staff may request approval from City Council (Council) for application of additional grants and/or loans for the project in the future, as opportunities are identified.

Alternative Action
The Council may choose not to apply for funds under one or all of these grant programs and provide staff with alternative direction.

Background/Analysis
The City’s Pump Station 1 (PS01) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately one-quarter mile west and upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP). The FWTP is the City’s largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands.

PS01 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, which makes it a critical component of the City’s water supply system.

PS01 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 29 million gallons-per-day. Staff plans to completely replace PS01 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its pumping capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District dam, which is downriver;
• The existing intake and screens may not meet long-term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species;
• Pumping capacity will need to be increased to meet the future demands of the FWTP; and • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during an earthquake.

On May 5, 2020, the Council authorized execution of a Consulting and Professional Services Contract (C-8541) with Jacobs to perform an evaluation of project alternatives and prepare a Preliminary Design Report for replacement of PS01. Based on recommendations in the Preliminary Design Report, the City has elected to proceed with a project alternative to replace and relocate PS01 at a new river trail location, approximately 1,600 feet west and upriver from the existing station.

The new PS01 location is in a deeper area within the Sacramento River that will allow for better operations and reliability. The new location is also adjacent to Jenny Creek, which presents an opportunity for the City to restore Jenny Creek in the area, a need that state regulating agencies have indicated the City will be required to perform, at some point. The creek restoration work will include removal of two existing culverts and restoration to an open channel. The culverts are currently preventing passage of Chinook salmon and steelhead into Jenny Creek. The restoration work will reconnect spawning salmon and steelhead in the Sacramento River to Jenny Creek, improve the pedestrian experience along the river trail, as well as open grant opportunities for the project.

On March 7, 2023, the Council authorized execution of an amendment to Jacobs’ contract for the second phase of professional consultant services associated with the project, including environmental permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, final design, and engineering services during bidding and construction for the selected project alternative. Under its scope of services, Jacobs has assisted the City in identifying these grant opportunities and will continue to assist the City with applications for the grants, if approved by the Council.

The National Fish Passage Program (NFPP) grant program provides direct technical and financial assistance to remove instream barriers and restore aquatic organism passage and aquatic connectivity for the benefit of Federal trust resources. It aims to maintain or increase fish populations to improve ecosystem resiliency, provide quality fishing experiences, support the modernization of infrastructure, and contribute to enhanced community resilience to the impacts from climate change and other public safety hazards. NFPP funds a variety of project types including, but not limited to, dam removals, culvert replacements, floodplain restoration, and the installation of fishways. The Jenny Creek restoration portion of the project makes it a good candidate to potentially receive grant funding from this program.

The Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) was created by statute in 1947 to conserve California’s wildlife resources and provide for public recreation. WCB awards grants for fish and wildlife habitat conservation, restoration, and for development of compatible public access facilities. Its Stream Flow Enhancement Grant Program also presents a funding opportunity for the project with the Jenny Creek restoration work included.

The Transformational Habitat Restoration and Coastal Resilience Grant program aim is to support transformational habitat restoration projects that restore marine, estuarine, or coastal ecosystems, using approaches that enhance community and ecosystem resilience to climate hazards. It prioritizes funding for habitat restoration actions that demonstrate significant impacts, rebuild productive and sustainable fisheries, contribute to the recovery and conservation of threatened and endangered species, promote climate-resilient ecosystems, especially in tribal, indigenous, and/or underserved communities, and improve economic vitality. The project should be a good candidate for funding from this program because of the included Jenny Creek restoration work.

State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) provides drinking water State Revolving Fund (SRF) funds for a wide range of drinking water infrastructure projects, including projects for treatment, transmission, distribution, source, storage, consolidation, and creation of new systems.

City staff and Jacobs are confirming that the City will meet disadvantaged community requirements for loan forgiveness (grants) for this project. The City intends to apply for these grant funds to supplement design and construction costs associated with the Pump Station 1

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following actions relative to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5094, to provide engineering services for the Pump House 1 Replacement Project:
(1) Award to Jacobs;
(2) Authorize the Mayor to execute the Consultant and Professional Services Contract with Jacobs for Phase 1 (preliminary design) of the project, including project management, data review, geotechnical investigations, survey/mapping, preliminary environmental review, construction financing evaluation, and preparation of a preliminary design report for replacement of Pump House 1 for a not-to-exceed fee of $488,829; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to approve contract amendments not to exceed $150,000.

Fiscal Impact
The total project costs are expected to be roughly $30 million. Funding for this project will come from the Water Utility Fund and the project is included in the current Capital Improvement Program. The City of Redding (City) plans to obtain State or Federal loans and/or grants, with the design consultant’s assistance, to fund a portion of the construction costs for the project.

Should funding from loans or grants not materialize, the City may need to issue municipal bonds.

Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) may choose not to award the contract for Phase 1 preliminary design services for the project. This alternative will delay or eliminate the construction of the Pump House 1 Replacement Project subjecting the City’s water system to significant vulnerabilities and potential regulatory action.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 2 Background
The City’s water system includes two water treatment plants, approximately 555 miles of conveyance and distribution pipelines, 17 groundwater wells, 10 pump stations, and 12 reservoirs providing a total of 33.5 million gallons of storage. The City’s Pump House 1 (PH1) is located on the south bank of the Sacramento River, along the Sacramento River Trail and approximately 1/4 mile upriver from the Diestelhorst and Lake Redding Bridges. It pumps water from the Sacramento River to the City’s Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP), its largest and primary water supply, providing more than half of the City’s drinking water during average and peak demands. PH1 is the only source of raw water to the FWTP, making it a very critical component of the City’s water supply chain.

PH1 was constructed in 1937, and has been in continual service since that time. Major modifications were performed in 1968, 1981, and 1989, to replace aging pumps and add new pumps to increase the station’s capacity. It currently has five vertical turbine pumps and its firm capacity is approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (MGD).

In 2002, a feasibility study entitled “Draft Feasibility Study for the City of Redding Pump House No. 1 Fish Protection Project” (Feasibility Study) was prepared for the City by CH2M Hill (now Jacobs). Available funding was insufficient at that time to construct a new pumping facility or even to complete many of the recommended modifications. Therefore, the City was directed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries to pursue an interim retrofit solution for fish screening, which was installed at PH1 in 2006. However, the retrofitted screens depart from standard criteria under certain river and operating conditions and as such are not a long term solution.

City staff plans to completely replace PH1 because of the following general deficiencies:
• Its intake is located in a shallow area of the river that impacts its capacity depending on the status of the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) dam downriver. • The existing intake and screens may not meet long term state and federal criteria regarding protection of endangered fish species.
• Its capacity will need to be increased to meet the future capacity of the FWTP. • Based on the City’s General Plan seismic hazard map, it is located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and may not be adequate to withstand critical damage during a design earthquake.

City staff will consider four project alternatives, or combinations thereof, for replacement of Pump House 1, including:
• Replacement at the existing Pump House 1 location;
• Replacement at a new river trail location, approximately 2,000 feet upriver; • Replacement at the Keswick Reservoir; and
• Replacement with a riverbank filtration collector well system.

Design services for the PH1 replacement will be broken into two phases. Phase 1 of the design is included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will include preliminary design services for evaluation of the project alternatives, and preparation of a preliminary design report to allow the City to determine the appropriate project alternative to pursue.

Re: 4.11(d)--Award Request for Proposals No. 5094 Page 3 Phase 2 of the design is not included in the attached Consulting and Professional Services Contract. It will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, preparation of contract documents, and design services during the bid and construction periods for the selected project alternative. If the City is satisfied with Jacobs’ services at the completion of Phase 1 (expected spring of 2021), then staff intends to recommend at that time that the Council authorize negotiation for an amendment with Jacobs to add Phase 2 design services to the Contract.

Otherwise, a separate RFP will be required for Phase 2 engineering services.

CONSULTANT SELECTION PROCESS
A review and selection panel was formed with five members from the Public Works Water and Engineering Divisions. The panel’s evaluation was based on consultants’ ability and qualifications to perform all phases of the engineering services that will be required, including both Phases 1 and 2.

Four proposals, including design fees in sealed envelopes, were received on January 24, 2020.

The panel members evaluated and scored each proposal based on consultants’ understanding of the project/scope, project approach, experience with fish screens, experience with riverbank filtration collector wells, qualifications of the project team and manager, familiarity with City projects and required procedures, ability to complete projects on-time and within budget, and the proposed teams’ location. After reviewing the proposals, the panel elected to interview all four of the firms that proposed.

Oral interviews were held on March 12, 2020, at City Hall. Each consultant team was allowed 55 minutes to provide a presentation and answer the City’s questions. The questions asked were the same for all consultant teams and were not provided to any team until they arrived for the interview; at which time, each participant was provided the questions in writing. Review Panel members evaluated and scored each consultant team based on their presentation and responses to the questions.

After the oral interviews, the review panel:
• Combined scores from the consultants’ proposals and oral interview to determine their overall score;
• Ranked consultants based on their overall score; and
• After ranking, opened consultant’s sealed fee envelopes.

The panel ranked the firms as follows:

Rank Firm Fee
1 Jacobs $488,829
2 Black & Veatch $576,210
3 West Yost $997,956
4 Stantech $1,160,516
Applying the evaluation criteria to the proposals and oral interview scoring, it is the opinion of the selection panel that Jacobs is the most qualified team to provide the required services. This opinion is in part based on Jacobs’:
• Excellent fish screen and riverbank collector well design experience and qualifications; • Environmental and compliance team has a proven track record with similar projects;

Replacement of Pump House 1 has been included in the City’s Water Master Plan for several years and is a necessary and critical improvement for the City’s water supply chain. Staff believes that Jacobs is the most qualified team to provide the required design services and recommends that the Council authorize recommendations listed herein, including award to Jacobs’ for an amount not-to-exceed $488,829.

B. Other than in the performance of professional services by a design professional, which is addressed solely by subdivision (A) of this Section, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify protect, defend and hold harmless, City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents, and each and every one of them, from and against all actions, damages, costs, liability, claims, losses, penalties and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees of the City Attorney or legal counsel retained by City, expert fees, litigation costs, and investigation costs) of every type and description to which any or all of them may be subjected by reason of the performance of the services required under this Contract by Consultant its officers, employees or agents in the performance of professional services under this Contract, except when liability arises due to the sole negligence, active negligence or misconduct of the City.

Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project (Phase 1 – Preliminary Design)
Dear Mr. Watkins:

This letter presents Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc.’s (JACOBS) proposed Scope of Engineering Services (Exhibit A) for the Pump House 1 Replacement Project - Phase 1 Preliminary Design (Project). We are proposing to perform the work under the City of Redding Consulting and Professional Services Agreement on a not-toexceed time and materials basis per the rate schedule (Exhibit B).

Per Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 5094, the effort associated with this Project will require two separate phases.

Phase 1 will involve preliminary design (alternatives evaluation) services and preparation of a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) with recommendations. Phase 2 will involve the detailed design, environmental compliance documentation, permitting, project funding assistance, right-of-way acquisition, and preparation of contract documents, as well as design services during the bid and construction periods for replacement of Pump House 1 (PS1)and installation of a new raw water pipeline, as required. The City will issue a contract for Phase 1. If the City is satisfied with the PDR and the JACOBS services to that point, the City intends to provide JACOBS a contract amendment to work on Phase 2.

Project Introduction
The City of Redding (City) PS1 supplies approximately 28.9 million gallons per day (mgd) of Sacramento River water to the Foothill Water Treatment Plant (FWTP) through two 30-inch-diameter pipelines. It is the primary delivery source and a critical component for the FWTP. PS1 is currently located on the right bank (looking downstream) of the Sacramento River along the Sacramento River Trail approximately 0.25 miles upstream of the Diestelhorst Bridge.

PS1 is scheduled for replacement based primarily on the following:
▪ Current location is within significant habitat for endangered winter-run salmon and the current screening is not optimal for species protection and does not meet state and federal fishery criteria. ▪ Limited intake capacity during low river stages due to shallow river depth during times when the AndersonCottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) diversion dam flashboards are not in place. This situation makes the City dependent on ACID operations at the diversion dam, which typically has flashboards installed only from April to November.

Subject: Scope of Engineering Services to City of Redding (COR) Pump House 1 Replacement Project PPS0402201345RDD 2
▪ The City’s General Plan identified PS1 as being located in an area of high seismic liquefaction potential and recommended that the structure be evaluated for its ability to withstand damage during a design earthquake.
▪ Proposed FWTP expansion up to a capacity of 42 mgd per the City’s Water Master Plan. ▪ Limited workspace for maintenance around the pumping units and other equipment.

The objective of Phase 1 Preliminary Design is to provide review of alternatives, sufficient engineering, major design elements, economic information, and screening the alternatives so the City can decide how to proceed with implementation of the Project. Alternatives, including combinations thereof, will be selected in a collaborative process with the City to be evaluated during Phase 1 and include the following:
▪ Alternative 1 – Existing Pump Station 1 Location
▪ Alternative 2 – New River Trail Location
▪ Alternative 4 – Keswick Reservoir Location
▪ Alternative 5 – Riverbank Filtration Collector Well System Scope of Engineering Services
The scope of engineering services to provide for the Project definition phase are outlined by tasks below:

Subtask 2.2 Geotechnical Investigations
JACOBS will perform geotechnical and geophysical investigations necessary to provide sufficient data for Phase 1.

Geophysical refraction surveys will be performed to provide profiles with well-contrasted changes in seismic velocity that facilitates interpretation of subsurface stratigraphy. The seismic velocity of the rock will evaluate the feasibility of excavation, or excavatability, of the rock and feasibility of driving sheet piles for scour protection and cofferdam construction.

One geophysical refraction survey line is proposed for each Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 (two lines total), but no survey lines will be provided for either Alternative 4 or Alternative 5. The survey reveals subsurface strata to the anticipated excavation depth. Following the completion of the geophysical survey, up to two soil borings will be drilled adjacent to the river trail at the location of the proposed pump station.

The potential for liquefaction will be evaluated from the borehole data, as liquefaction mitigation would significantly contribute to the cost of the alternative. Samples are tested in the laboratory to evaluate their consistency and properties.

Up to two soil borings total will first be drilled at two potential collector well sites. The sites are identified as Area 4 in the 1972 report to the City by Ranney, and an area on the south side of the river near the ACID Fish Screen.

If the soil borings find adequate sands and gravels are present for a potential collector well and the City approves the pumping well site, up to one 12-inch-diameter pumping well will be completed.

Three observation wells would be installed at approximate radial distances between 30 to 150 feet from the pumping/test well at a location approved by the City. These wells would be used to monitor how the water table responds to pumping from the test well. Following development of all the wells, the test well would be pumped for a minimum of 24 hours while observing the response in the monitoring wells. The results of the pumping test will be used to estimate the hydraulic capacity of the proposed collector well site.

Assumptions: The soil boring drilling and geophysical surveys are performed during the course of one working day at each location. The well installation development and testing would be completed during approximately 2 weeks at each location. It is assumed that site access is provided for the geophysical crew and drill rigs. It is assumed that no permits will be needed to perform the geophysical survey. Well permits will be obtained through Shasta County. The geophysical survey and drilling crews will work under the supervision of JACOBS.

Assume that City encroachment permits will be required for borings and City will waive the encroachment permit fees.

Deliverables: A geotechnical data report will be prepared to summarize the field investigation and testing results.

The geologic hazards associated with each alternative will be discussed and a determination will be made of the potential for a future collector well at up to two sites. A geotechnical data report will be incorporated in the PDR.

Subtask 2.3 Surveying and Mapping
Ground surface surveys, both on bank and on the river bottom, will be performed as necessary to complete the preliminary design for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2. Two cross-sections perpendicular to the river will be surveyed at both the Alternatives 1 and 2 sites to determine preliminary facility elevations. Assumes two people

for one day in the field for this task. No surveying and mapping are included herein for Alternatives 4 and 5 because this information is not required for Phase 1 evaluations.

JACOBS will perform a preliminary right-of-way assessment and identify potential right-of-way issues based on readily available GIS data. Right-of-way surveys will be performed in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the PDR.

Task 3 – Preliminary Environmental Review
The purpose of this task is to evaluate the environmental viability and issues related to each proposed alternative. JACOBS will perform a screening-level review of the biological and cultural impact potential for each site based upon readily available data and technical experience in the Project area. This includes for each site:
▪ One-day reconnaissance level site visit with California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) and Biogeographic Information and Observation System Database (BIOS) data reviews for any potential endangered or listed species within each Project.
▪ Identification of the likely Area of Potential Effect (APE) and initial review by a JACOBS archaeologist and cultural resources specialist. California Historical Resource Information System (CHRIS) surveys will likely only be completed for the selected alternative in Phase 2. ▪ Review of water rights and evaluation for change in point-of-diversion. ▪ Preliminary delineation of the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OWHM) is performed for an engineering alternatives review. Detailed wetland delineation and permitting is completed in Phase 2 once the Project is defined.
▪ Coordination with National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW), and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to determine the preliminary feasibility of each selected alternative.
▪ Gather information related to existing river bank collector well systems adjacent to anadromous waterways in northern California and analyze their permitting and regulatory challenges.

Assumptions:
▪ Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) document will not be completed in Phase

1. LEDPA analysis will be included in Phase 2 if individual permit cannot be avoided from USACE. ▪ California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance is considered for each alternative with assumptions. CEQA and NEPA documents are included in Phase 2.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 4 – Construction Funding Evaluation
The purpose of this task is to provide a list of viable funding alternatives like California State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) for the project construction and rank them based on likelihood of successful application, associated interest rates, terms, design or construction related requirements, potential impacts to the project schedule, related reporting or monitoring requirements, and other important aspects associated with each funding alternative.

Assumptions:
▪ Up to four funding mechanisms are reviewed and ranked in the PDR. ▪ Applications for funding submission are not included in Phase 1.

Deliverables: No specific deliverables; work products to be incorporated in the Preliminary Design Report.

Task 5 – Preliminary Design Report
The purpose of this task is to provide the City of Redding with a PDR with the preferred alternative for the City to consider for Phase 2 Final Design.

JACOBS will follow a three-phase process for delivery of the preliminary design for the Project. This process includes producing preliminary deliverables at three phases of the design (Draft, Pre-Final, and Final Preliminary Design). At the Draft and Pre-Final phases, JACOBS will provide information for review and provide for resolution of key issues before proceeding to the next phase. The information collected, and the concepts defined in each consecutive phase, will form the basis for subsequent work.

Each phase will include specific deliverables, which are identified in the following subtasks. Design review workshops (at City Hall) with the City of Redding will be conducted at critical design milestones as identified in the following subtasks. The City of Redding will provide comments to JACOBS within 3 weeks of receiving the documents.

Project Design Criteria
The Project design criteria will be developed for evaluating the alternatives and will be included in the PDRs.

Engineering design criteria will address resource agency criteria, structural, civil, geotechnical, mechanical, electrical, conveyance pipeline, cost and financial analysis, and construction elements. Operations criteria will encompass diversion requirements and other operations to maintain water deliveries during construction.

Development and Evaluation of Alternatives and Components Alternatives will be developed in concert with the City. JACOBS anticipates up to four alternatives will be evaluated per the project design criteria. JACOBS will prepare information associated with each alternative to provide information for a project workshop with the City and agencies to ensure consensus of alternatives.

JACOBS will evaluate design criteria and prepare conceptual design documents for the alternatives and components. Conceptual design documents will include approximately three drawings per alternative: site plan, facility layout plan, cross sections, river and screen criteria, construction phasing approach, operations and maintenance (O&M), construction cost estimates, and life-cycle cost will be included in the PDRs.

JACOBS will provide a clearly defined ranking system and rank the four alternatives based on performance, capital and operating costs, environmental impacts, and other factors that should be considered.

Subtask 5.1 – Draft Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Draft Preliminary Design Report to document the information prepared to select the preferred design alterative for the Project.

The Draft PDR will include cost estimates for the remaining phases of the Project, including environmental and permitting, easement acquisition (City to provide land value assumptions), final engineering and design, services during construction (engineering support and construction management), construction, and O&M.

Construction cost estimates will be prepared to the level of accuracy based on the information available within normal industry standards. Estimates will be formatted in accordance with the Project design CSI specification format and segregated by facility. Where sufficient detailed information is lacking to obtain reasonably accurate prices of materials a contingency allowance may be applied. Escalation allowances will be used to provide an opinion of the estimated construction costs at the midpoint of construction.

This report is expected to be a working document at this stage of design.

JACOBS will facilitate a Preliminary Design Workshop with the City and agencies to review the preliminary design and receive input from the City and agencies.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Draft PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.2 – Pre-Final Preliminary Design Report
JACOBS will prepare Pre-Final PDR for the Project. PDR review comments from the City and federal and state agencies will be incorporated. The Pre-Final submittal will include the concept drawings and preliminary construction costs. The PDR will include an estimate for annual operating costs, estimated service life for major components and equipment, and provide a life-cycle cost analysis for each alternative.

The Pre-Final PDR review submittal will recommend a project alternative and is intended to be essentially ready for City of Redding preferred alternative selection. The PDR will document the major design criteria used for the various project components.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of Pre-Final PDR documents and preliminary construction cost estimates.

Subtask 5.3 – Final Preliminary Design Report
This is the final phase of the PDR. Review comments from the Pre-Final PDR from the City of Redding review will be incorporated. JACOBS will prepare the Final PDR, which will be stamped by California Registered Professional Engineers. The Final PDR will include design criteria, to be used as the preliminary basis of design for Phase 2, for the City’s preferred alternative.

Deliverables: Electronic files (pdf format) and five (5) hard copy sets of P.E. stamped PDR documents.

CITY OF REDDING

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the following relative to the funding, design, permitting, and construction of the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project:
(1) Authorize the City of Redding to submit an application in an amount not to exceed $6 million to the Fisheries Restoration Grant Program administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in partnership with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund; and (2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents necessary to apply for the grant, and execute any agreements necessary to implement the grant, should it be awarded.

Fiscal Impact
The total Pump Station 1 Replacement Project (Project) costs are currently estimated to be approximately $55 million. City of Redding (City) staff intends to obtain state and federal grants and potentially loans to fund the majority of the project costs. Project costs in excess of grant and loan funds received, as well as costs for the local matches associated with the grants and interest or fees associated with the loans will come from the City’s Water Utility (Utility) Fund. The project is included in the Utility’s current Capital Improvement Program. The Utility has been setting aside six percent of annual revenues for several years and has saved approximately $16.5 million for the project to date.

If the City Council (Council) approves the California Department of Fish and Wildlife - Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) application and funding is awarded for the project, then the FRGP funds could provide for roughly 10 percent of the project costs. In the future, as opportunities are identified, staff may request Council approval for application of additional grants and/or loans for the project.
