TOPIC: New HVAC System at Santa Ana Police Athletic & Activity League Center AGENDA TITLE:
Award Purchase Order to Acco Engineered Systems in an Amount Not to Exceed $274,877 to replace HVAC at the Santa Ana Police Athletic & Activity League Center (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Award a one-time purchase and payment to Acco Engineered Systems for a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at the Santa Ana Police Athletic and Activity League Center, in the amount of $249,888, plus a 10-percent contingency of $24,989, for a total amount not to exceed $274,877, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.

DISCUSSION
The Police Department currently operates the Santa Ana Police Athletic and Activity League (PAAL) program at two locations. The PAAL Center provides comprehensive community programs that builds a bond between kids and police officers through education, fitness, and activities. The primary center, located at 2627 W McFadden Avenue, is approximately 9,000 square feet and serves over 100 youths year-round.
The PAAL Center was recently renovated with new flooring, exterior painting, and parking lot improvements, with funds from the City’s Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan.
However, the current air conditioning unit, which was not part of the renovation, is over 20 years old and the air handlers, also not part of the renovation, are over 40 years old.
The Center’s current split system with two indoor fan coil units have surpassed their usable life span and require constant repair. The new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement with variable frequency drive for a three-zone system

Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts issued to vendors who have been awarded by a state agency, county, city or other public agency after a competitive bidding process substantially equivalent to the City’s standard bidding process. National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance awarded a contract to Acco Engineered Systems (No. 02-73) for HVAC Equipment, Installation, Service, & Related Products.

TOPIC: Motorola 800 MHz Communications System Equipment AGENDA TITLE:
Award Contract to Motorola Solutions, Inc. in the Amount of $471,570 for Motorola 800 MHz Communications System Equipment (Specification No. 23-048) (General and Non- General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a blanket order contract to Motorola Solutions, Inc. for Motorola 800 MHz communications system equipment for a 14-month period expiring June 30, 2024 in an amount not to exceed $471,570, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) utilizes handheld portable and mobile radios to communicate with other field personnel, the SAPD Dispatch Center, and Orange County agencies via the Orange County Communications System (countywide dispatch center). The 800 MHz Communications system has been in place since 1995 when the County of Orange completed a competitive bid process and entered into a contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. to provide the 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System (CCCS) integrated radio communications system. Motorola designed, built, and installed this system using proprietary equipment and technology.
This system allows all police, fire, public works, and marine safety agencies in Orange County to share a standard radio system, yet provides agencies with their own dispatch and tactical channels. Radios are utilized for both emergent and non-emergent radio traffic. Handheld radios are a critical lifeline for sworn and professional field personnel for sharing rapidly changing information pertaining to calls for service and for relaying field personnel safety messages.
This contract will provide the Police Department with 60 APX6000 handheld pacsets and accessories for newly hired police officers, replacement radios for non-working radios, and adequate spares for emergency services purposes. The SAPD anticipates

ordering $363,753 in equipment upon City Council’s approval, with a contingency of $36,537 for additional pacsets, mobile radios, and accessories if needed through the end of the contract period.
In addition, the Code Enforcement Division of the Planning and Building Agency will be purchasing ten radios. The purchase will provide the Code Enforcement Division with handheld APX4000 Model II radios for newly hired Code Enforcement Division staff and replacement radios for non-compatible or non-working radios for Animal Services staff.
The handheld radios are critical for emergency and non-emergency communication with SAPD. The Planning and Building Agency anticipates ordering $47,520 in equipment upon City Council’s approval, with a contingency of $23,760 for additional mobile radios, chargers, and accessories if needed through the end of the contract period.
Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-807 requires that contracts for City purchases be awarded on the basis of obtaining maximum quality and minimum costs after a competitive process but allows for awards of purchases exempt from a bid process whenever it shall appear there is only one reasonable source. Accordingly, the County established Agreement No. MA-060-21010004 with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the 800 MHz CCCS under their Sole Source Procurement Policy, providing access to the existing radio communication system throughout the County. Motorola Solutions, Inc., the manufacturer, offers the equipment at discounted pricing to all public agencies in Orange County under the 800 MHz CCCS program.

TOPIC: Easement to Southern California Edison
AGENDA TITLE
Grant an Easement to Southern California Edison to Allow Underground Power to Serve Traffic Signal (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Easement Deed granting Southern California Edison the right to own, place, and maintain power conduits and conductors underground to serve APN 016-035-14.
DISCUSSION
In 2019, the City acquired a parcel of land located at 402 East Warner in conjunction with the Warner Avenue Improvements project from Main Street to Oak Street. Along the east side of the parcel exists a 17-foot wide Maple Street Bike Trail and Edison power pole and overhead power lines serving the residential lots fronting Maple Street and a traffic signal nearby (Exhibit 1).
As part of the Warner Avenue project, Edison will need to modify the power pole adjacent to 402 East Warner to underground overhead facilities along Warner Avenue and provide service for proposed traffic signal at Warner and Maple intersection. Therefore, non- exclusive easement is needed for Edison to construct, use, maintain, operate, alter, add to, repair, replace, reconstruct, and inspect the underground electrical supply system in order to continue distributing electrical energy to the residents.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

Garnsey Street, also identified as APN 005-142-02, (Property) in the amount of $750,000, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
In August 2022, the City Council approved the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding for the acquisition and expansion of parks and open space in the City of Santa Ana (City). The City also adopted a Parks Master Plan in May 2022 that provides goals to develop parkland within a 10-minute walk for all residents, and three acres of parkland per 1,000 residents citywide. The acquisition of this property will assist in expanding the future 10th and Flower Park project boundaries to create a recreational amenity in a “park gap” area, serve four adjacent neighborhoods, and create a new park that was identified in the Parks Master Plan. The property is located in a qualified census tract and is necessary to expand the boundaries of the 10th and Flower Park, which was planned as a smaller 0.65-acre neighborhood park.
The adjacent property (841 N Garnsey) was listed for sale by the property owner, and during discussions with the City about acquiring 841 N Garnsey, the property owner expressed interest in the City acquiring both properties owned by Garnsey Corp. The recommended property acquisition (Exhibit 1) and the mutually agreed-upon purchase offer were determined based upon a broker’s opinion of value prepared by the City’s right-of-way consultant (Exhibit 2).

instrument. In the event that the parties hereto utilize facsimile or electronically transmitted instructions to Escrow Holder, and said parties hereby instruct Escrow Holder to rely upon such instructions as if they were originals. Any amendments and supplements to these instructions must be in writing and shall only be effective when executed and delivered to Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall not be concerned with nor have any obligations with respect to items designated as memoranda in these instructions or with any other agreement or contract between the parties to this escrow.
2. Deposit of Funds
(i) All funds received in this escrow will be deposited with other escrow funds in one or more non-interest-bearing escrow accounts of Escrow Holder in a financial institution selected by Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder shall not be responsible and shall have no liability for any delay in cl osing this escrow if the funds deposited in this escrow are not available for immediate withdrawal as a matter of right following deposit in such financial institution. (ii) Depositor has the opportunity to earn interest on the funds deposit with escrow holder through a deposit account arrangement that Escrow Holder has established with one of its financial institutions. The interest rate for these accounts varies between financial institutions, fluctuates periodically based on market conditions and other factors, and may change prior to or during the time depositor funds are on deposit. Depositor will not have an opportunity to earn interest on any funds deposited by a lender. (iii) If Depositor elected to earn interest through this special account arrangement, Escrow Holder will charge Depositor an additional fee of $50.00 for the establishment and maintenance of the account. This fee compensates Escrow Holder for the costs associated with opening and managing the interest -bearing account, preparing correspondence documentation, transferring funds, maintaining appropriate records for audit/reconciliation purposes and filing any required tax withholding statements. It is important that Depositor consider this cost in a decision since the cost may exceed the interest ear ned. If depositor is interested in having funds deposited in an interest-bearing account, please contact the escrow holder. (iv) If depositor does not elect to have funds deposited in an interest-bearing account. All funds (together with any funds deposited by a lender) will be held in Escrow Holder’s general escrow trust account. The general escrow trust account is restricted and protected against claims by third parties or creditors of Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder and/or its parent company may receive certain direct and indirect financial benefits from the financial institution as a result of maintaining the general escrow trust account. These benefits may include, without limitation, credits allowed by such financial institution on loans to Escrow Holder and/or its parent company and earnings on investments made with the proceeds of such loans, as well as accounting, reporting and other services and products of such financial institution. Escrow Holder shall have no obligation to account to the parties to this escrow in any manner for the value of, or to pay to any party, any benefit received by Escrow Holder and/or its parent company. Any such benefits shall be deemed additional compensation of Escrow Holder for its services in connection with this escrow. Some or all of these benefits may be deemed interest due depositor under California Insurance Code Section 12413.5. As indicated above, depositor may elect to have funds placed in a separate, interest-bearing account and receive the benefits there from, but will be required to pay Escrow Holder an additional fee for this service. Alternatively, depositor may leave funds in the general escrow trust account and thereby authorize Escrow Holder to keep the benefits it and/or its parent company receives from the financial institution. In either event, depositor understands and agree that Escrow Holder and/or its parent company may receive and retain for their sole benefit any and all benefits derived from the general escrow trust account prior to the deposit of depositors funds in an interest-bearing account and following the withdrawal of funds from such interest- bearing account (normally two business days prior to the close of escrow). (v) All parties depositing funds in connection with this escrow are hereby notified that the funds so deposited are insured only to the limit provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (vi) Funds deposited by a lender are ordinarily deposited to escrow one or two days prior to closing. Depositor should be aware that the lender may begin charging interest on the loan from the date loan funds are deposited into Escrow Holder’s escrow trust account.
3. Good Funds Law – California Insurance Code §12413.1
All parties are aware and understand that California Insurance Code §12413.1 mandates that funds deposited into an escrow must be collected and available for withdrawal PRIOR TO DISBURSEMENT. The determination of the availability of funds is set forth as follows:
(i) ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS ("wired funds") are available for SAME DAY disbursement.
4. Prorations: All adjustments and prorations called for in this escrow shall be made on the basis of a thirty (30) day month, unless otherwise instructed in writing.

However, Escrow Holder will not to act upon any instruction so delivered until received the same in writing signed by all parties to this escrow.
6. Loan Terms: Golden Coast Escrow, Inc. is not to be responsible in any way whatsoever nor to be concerned with the terms of any new loan or the content of any loan documents obtained by any party in connection with this escrow except to order such loan documents into the escrow file, transmit the loan documents to Buyer for execution and trans mit the executed loan documents to Lender. The parties understand and agree that Escrow Holder is not involved nor to be concerned with the approval and/or processing of any loan or the contents and effect of loan documents prepared by a Lender.

AGENDA TITLE
Amend Agreement with Landscape West Management Services, Inc. to Increase the Contract Amount by $2,300,000 for Right-of-Way and Median Landscape Maintenance Services (Project No. 22-1309) (General Fund and Non-General Fund) (Revive Santa Ana Program)
RECOMMENDED ACTION

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division (Maintenance Services Division) is responsible for maintaining over 30 miles of City street medians and neighborhood entry areas. The services include but are not limited to mowing, weed mitigation and removal, trash removal, and irrigation system maintenance. On July 2, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with Landscape West Management Services, Inc. to provide median landscape maintenance and right-of-way cleaning services.
During the second round of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) spending plan in 2022, $1,000,000 was allocated for Sanitation & Prevention Programs. Furthermore, as part of the Mid-Year budget process in March 2022, an additional $1,300,000 in ARPA funding (Project No. 22-1309) was identified and reallocated to contractual services for a total of $2,300,000, to continue with the enhanced cleaning and sanitization services of high-traffic pedestrian and bicyclist areas. Since 2022, program services have resulted in enhanced cleaning and sanitization of over 15,000 locations within the Qualified Census Tracts (QCT) outlined in the ARPA guidelines (Exhibit 1).

Amend Agreement for Construction Engineering Services
April 4, 2023

4 1
The SR-55/Ritchey Street Water Projects are being constructed as a result of Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)’s SR-55 Freeway widening project and OCTA is reimbursing the City for its cost. Berg & Associates, Inc. has continuously proved throughout the course of this project to be a valuable partner to the City. The firm has provided the additional staff and expertise necessary to manage construction of three separate water resources relocation projects.
Berg & Associates, Inc. has encountered multiple unanticipated challenges during the construction phase of the projects, including extended project schedule due to material procurement delays and project scope changes, additional management services requested by the funding agency (OCTA), additional administrative duties due to inexperience of construction contractor on federally funded projects, and unexpected Community Workforce Agreement union fees. An additional description is provided in the consultant’s request to increase the total contract amount (Exhibit 1).
For these reasons, staff has exceeded the initial estimation of utilization of the contracted services. Staff recommends amending the agreement with Berg & Associates, Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed amount for the remainder of the contract term (Exhibit 2). This will ensure the City continues to meet the increased project demands and ensure a timely and quality delivery of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
All funds expended for the water relocation project costs will be reimbursed by OCTA as outlined in the Cooperative Agreement No. C-0-2201 and three Utility Reimbursement Agreements for the State Route 55 Improvement Project. The approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $900,000 into the Acquisition & Construction, Water Utility Capital Projects, Expense Reimbursement-OCTA revenue account (No. 06617002-57004) and appropriate the same amount into the Acquisition & Construction, Water Utility Capital Projects, Water Capital Project expenditure account as shown below.

Mr. Gabriel Guerrero-Gabany, P.E.
City of Santa Ana
20 Civic Center Plaza
Santa Ana, CA 92701
RE: Construction Management Services for RFP 21-066
Estimate for Additional Budget – Increase to Total Contract Amount Dear Mr. Guerrero-Gabany,
Through Bi-Weekly Owner/CM meetings and the Monthly Report, the Construction Management (CM) Team has kept the City informed as to the status of the CM budget and that additional budget for CM services will be required to complete the work. At this time, it appears the existing funds will be expended end of March 2023, based on the current usage rate. In general, the budget increase is due to 5 factors:
1) Additional admin work hours for various project issues, 2) Addition of CM scope for specialty inspections and scheduling included in Amendment 1, 3) Addition of CM scope for specialty inspections and scheduling to be included in Amendment 2, 4) Inspection OT/DT for Jack & Bore 72 hr/wk
5) Additional work periods of CM planned sched vs Contractor actual work sched.
The original budget was built upon the assumption of the continuation of the CM budget with 6 months construction after March 2023 (2 months Ph-1 and 4 months Ph-2), as well as closeout (less than 1 month fulltime). The Contractor’s current schedule update shows an increase in the schedule of 6 months in Phase 1 as compared to our original budgeted time (before construction bid). The time increase to the Contractor’s schedule paired with the special issues/unbudgeted costs that have caused a budget overrun, are resulting In an additional 12 months to be applied to the CM budget. As requested by City staff, we have prepared an estimated cost for the CM Team to complete the project. Our analysis was performed using “to-date” defined as through November 30, 2022.
CM PLANNED COSTS VERSUS ACTUAL COSTS:
The CM Team has experienced many significant special issues that have arisen on the project as well as administrative setbacks on behalf of the Contractor that have required more hours from our staff than was originally proposed. These special issues and administrative items are detailed below. As a result of these, CM Costs have Exceeded Planned Cost to-date by $ 157,239.37, which is ~40% over the Planned-To-Date for the Construction Period. When the savings from Pre-construction planned costs are applied, this represents $ 151,559.72.
PM/RE and Contract Administrator Costs: During this period, the PM/RE position exceeded the original planned estimate by ~95%, or ($128,328.30), the Contract Administrator position exceeded planned estimate amount by ~10%, or ($10,984.96), the Inspector position was under the planned amount by ~4%, $ 7,034.45, and the Utility Coordinator position was under the planned amount by ~13%, $ 3,523.00.
Note: The above differences between planned and actual costs include some of the costs that were included in Amendment No. 1 such as CWA Rate difference and utilizing a Jr. Office Engineer to offset Administrative time with a lower rate – the details of that Amendment are broken down below.
Overage Costs from Original Estimate Due to Project Special Issues To-Date: (128,328.30) EXHIBIT 1
City Council
17 –
4 4/4/2023
PM/RE and Contract Administrator Costs tasks that required a significant increase in hour allocation to ensure quality of project delivery include the following:
1. Issue w/ Project Sequencing (Plans vs Spec vs Actual) – meetings & discussions with designer
2. Obtaining Additional Caltrans Rider Permit for City and Coordinating Contractor Procurement of Double Permit
3. Establishing Relationship with City of Tustin and Obtaining Tustin Grading Permit
4. SCE Service to SA-7 – Coordination efforts of design issue. SCE design and coordination had not been started. CM team took on this role.
5. Project Specification not Reflecting Caltrans Spec and Caltrans Desires – i.e. casing requirements and welding requirements
6. Significant Number of Submittal Resubmittals (some resubmitted 4 times)
7. Contractor Baseline Schedule Review Sbmtl 004 – Contractor submitted 5 times and still had issues. Extensive time reviewing and meeting with Contractor
8. Contractor Jack & Bore Shoring Review – no assistance from designer, contractor plan unusually lacking
9. Contractor Issues with Procuring Casing Pipe – Contractor identified over 6 different pipe for submission which included additional submissions for welding.
10. Write-up of CCO-001 – extensive write-up, completed Background and CCO versus “assisting with CCO” per original scope.
11. RFI-034/PCO-012 SA-7 Automation and work of Enterprise Automated (EA) – Unusually time consuming RFI which is developing into a CCO.
12. Preparation of budget and coordination of staff for additional scope added by City with Amendment No. 01
13. Issues with the jack & bore ground monitoring.
CWA Rate: As identified in meetings with the City and in BergCM’s Letter to the City dated August 9, 2022, a CWA Rate was established for our Inspectors to be in compliance with the City’s CWA. It was not known, by BergCM or the City, at the time of contract execution that the CWA would apply to CM staff. To-date, through Nov 30, 2022, this rate increase represents roughly $20,000 to-date. These are included in the Inspection estimate above.
Submittal Reviews – Unplanned Costs: ON-SITE Conducted submittal reviews in March 2022 that was not allocated in original budget.
Additional Admin Reviews by ON-SITE Technical To-Date: ($ 4,130.00) Amendment No. 01 – Unplanned Costs: All of the Amendment No. 01 costs are attached herein to this Letter. The additional unplanned costs that were utilized to date include the following:
Specialty Inspection by ON-SITE Technical To-Date: ($ 15,370.25) Specialty Inspection by RMA Group To-Date: ($ 960.00)
Scheduling Services for Contingency Plans and Shadow Schedule: ($ 6,280.07) Underestimated Working Days in Original Estimate: In our original budget, 360 working days were used for the Construction periods (Phase 1 and Phase 2). This should have been corrected in a negotiation period, as the actual working days is roughly 390 working days. If project special issues and unplanned costs had not occurred, the Contingency could have been used to account for this error. However, our attached spread sheet shows actual hours per month for the duration of the project according to the Contractor’s baseline schedule. This represents a difference of $69,519.75, for actual costs (390 WD) versus proposed/actual (360 WD).

FORECASTED COSTS FOR PROJECT COMPLETION
Contractor’s Schedule vs CM Proposal: As noted in the CM Proposal, there existed an issue with the allowed construction durations in the Project specifications. In the CM Proposal, the estimated (and budgeted) duration of Phase 1 Construction was 15 months. The Contractor’s current plan indicates Phase 1 to be 21 months. The increase of 6 months is the largest factor for the CM budget increase. At the original planned rates and hours, this is an increase of $263,197.50. This cost is found in the attached budget analysis on line 18 for the monthly totals between June 2023 – November 2023.
Cost of Original FTE %’s with 6-month Extension: $ 263,197.50 Costs Needed for Completion (Not including 6-month Schedule Extension): As noted in the above discussion, in addition to the Contractor’s extended schedule of 6 months, funds will be needed to complete the contract according to the original schedule estimate. This represents another 6 months to be applied to the CM budget. This cost is found in the attached budget analysis on line 18 for the monthly totals between April 2023 – May 2023 and Phase 2.
Cost of Original FTE %’s with 6-month Original Estimated Schedule: $ 267,344.26 Costs for Close-out: Due to the projection that the total approved contract amount will be dispersed entirely through the end of March 2023, we will need costs for close-out. This is shown on line item 37.
Cost of Original FTE %’s for 1 month Close-out: $ 48,302.24 Inspection OT/DT: Overtime and doubletime charges were also not identified in our original budget estimate. The Contractor’s means and methods have required our inspection staff to work 12 hours days, 6 days a week. We have taken measures to avoid doubletime charges as much as possible by supplying peak inspectors to the City, as originally proposed. However, Overtime charges are inevitable with this schedule. These costs were not included in the originally proposed budget. The Contractor is planning to work 6 days/week, 12 hour/day from December through January. This cost is found in the attached budget analysis on line 34. We have accounted for potential overtime moving beyond the 6/12 operations, for 10 hours of OT per month. These costs can be found on line 34 and 35 in the attached spreadsheet.
Cost of Overtime for Alternate Schedule: $ 51,684.26
Anticipated CM Workload Due to Contractor Administrative Performance: It is anticipated that an increase to originally planned percentages should be anticipated based on previous performance and project issues including:
Contractor Submittal Resubmittals
Fully prepared CCO write-ups vs. Assistance/Recommendations for CCO write-ups RFI-034 / PCO-012 SA-7 Automation Issue
If we apply the average overage per month for PM/RE time for December 2022 – April 2023, it represents an increased amount of $ 81,727.05.
Cost of PM/RE at 40% (Dec 22- Apr 23): $ 81,727.05
In an effort to minimize PM/RE hours, we propose utilizing a new position, Office Engineer. The personnel, Carlos Quiroz, QSP, we propose for this position has extensive construction knowledge, which will allow for more project oversight than our previous position, Contract Administrator, which is more geared towards contract compliance and document control. This will reduce the amount of time required for project oversight being utilized for PM/RE.
City Council
17 –
6 4/4/2023
Utilization of New Rate for Office Engineer at 60% FTE: It is requested that the current administrative positions (Brenda Ramirez, Contract Administrator, and Eric Vandenberg, Jr. Office Engineer) be replaced with an Office Engineer (Carlos Quiroz, QSP) for a more technical assistance. Carlos’s experience and skill level will be a mitigation effort to allow for the PM/RE to minimize his hours from the current overage usage.
Cost of Office Engineer at 60% (Mar 23 – End of Phase 2): $ 61,636.96 Utilization of New Rate for Jr. Office Engineer at 20% (Feb 23 – May 23): Due to recent Change Orders issued by OCTA, and continuing project challenges, we highly recommend keeping additional help on through May 2023 to keep costs of PM/RE lower. Costs for this position in February 2023 are covered by the originally planned hours for Contract Administrator.
Cost of Jr. Office Engineer at 20% (Mar 23 – May 23): $ 9,839.44 Additional Cost for Scheduling Services: To ensure a coherent schedule from the Contractor it is requested to extend the duration of the scheduler thru the Phase 1 period or at least a minimum of an additional 6 months. For Phase 1, Mar 2023 – Nov 2023 and the first month of Phase 2,16hr/mo is 160hr for Scheduler.

Mitigation/Cost Savings Potential Resolution : If the City is looking to reduce cost impacts from the extended Contractor’s schedule, it would be most advisable to reduce CM costs during Phase 2 activities.
It would be difficult and detrimental to the project and close-out to reduce CM hours during Phase 1. This would result in 8 months of additional CM budget as opposed to 12 months.
As the City is aware, from many discussions between City and CM team staff regarding the above unplanned costs and project special issues, the construction management team requires additional budget to complete the SR-55/Ritchey Street Water Improvement Project. This additional budget represents an increase in our approved total contract amount and therefore it is expected to require City Council approval, as well as submission of a funding request to OCTA.
We ask that the City consider Unplanned Costs, Project Issues, and the Contractor’s extended schedule when reviewing this following request. Line items are negotiable, and our team is available for discussion of each cost estimate. Berg & Associates, Inc. is committed to providing quality services to the City of Santa Ana. You may contact Project Manager, Dave Smith, PE, QSD, at [email protected], if you have any questions.

TOPIC: Amend Agreement for Water System Computer Modeling and Engineering Services
AGENDA TITLE
Amend Agreement with Sedaru, Inc. for Water System Computer Modeling and Engineering Services by an additional $50,000 for the remainder of the Agreement Term (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement with Sedaru, Inc., formerly known as ID Modeling, Inc., for water system modeling and engineering services to increase the amount by $50,000, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the remainder of the term of the agreement, subject to non- substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On December 4, 2018, at the conclusion of a competitive bidding process, the City Council awarded a three-year agreement, with the provision for one two-year renewal option, to Sedaru, Inc. to provide water system computer modeling and engineering services for the Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division. Since 2018, staff has seen an increased volume of development plan submittals, especially those for large developments. These large developments require hydraulic modeling to ensure that sufficient water capacity is available in the existing water infrastructure. If not, the developer must make the necessary infrastructure improvements prior to being served by the City’s water system.
For these reasons, staff has exceeded the initial estimation of utilization of the contracted services. Staff recommends amending the agreement with Sedaru, Inc. (Exhibit 1) to increase the funding amount for the remainder of the term in order to continue to meet the increased demands and provide outstanding customer service.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the requested increase to the agreement is available for expenditure in the current FY 2022-23 budget.

TOPIC: Agreements for On-Call Engineering Services
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., and EEC Environmental for On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems in an Aggregate Amount Not to exceed $3,000,000 for up to a Five-Year Term (Non- General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., and EEC Environmental to provide on-call engineering design services for PFAS treatment systems, for a shared aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000, for a three-year term beginning April 4, 2023 and expiring April 3, 2026, with provisions for two, one-year extensions, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division (Water Resources) oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The water system is composed of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, four pressure regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan Water District. The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its roughly 45,150 metered service connections.
Due to recent monitoring orders issued by the California State Water Resources Control Board related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the City has been proactive in pursuing advanced water treatment options to remove PFAS from the drinking water supply. On May 19, 2020, the City entered into an agreement with the Orange County Water District (OCWD) requesting them to design and construct PFAS treatment facilities at well stations which showed contaminant levels above the state Response Level thresholds. Currently, the City is in the design or construction phases of PFAS treatment facilities at several well locations that fall under the parameters of the OCWD agreement.

For the wells in which PFAS has been detected but do not exceed the state Response Levels, and therefore do not meet the requirements for OCWD agreement, the City has taken a conservative approach and taken the wells offline. In order to bring the wells back online, the City will need to design and construct PFAS treatment facilities at each affected well site.
Water Resources is seeking engineering consultant firms to provide design services for PFAS ion exchange treatment facilities in order to optimize treatment at future sites impacted by the constituent of concern. It is imperative that the City prioritizes water treatment to ensure residents can be guaranteed the highest quality of potable drinking water.
On October 3, 2022, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-133, by which it sought the services of qualified consulting firms to provide engineering design services for PFAS treatment systems. The RFP was advertised on PlanetBids, and proposals were received electronically via PlanetBids on November 17, 2022. The City notified a total of 112 regional vendors via PlanetBids, with 40 vendors downloading bidding documents. Three proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes the responding firms and their ranking:
Firm City Rank
Tetra Tech, Inc. Irvine 1
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Irvine 2
EEC Environmental Orange 3
Staff recommends awarding agreements to Tetra Tech, Inc., Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., and EEC Environmental to provide engineering services on an as- needed basis (Exhibits 1-3). Their proposals demonstrated the firms have the necessary capacity and expertise to complete the required services. The firms’ rates are reasonable and within industry standard, the teams’ qualifications are appropriate, and the proposals were determined to provide the best value for the City. All firms selected for this award are currently under agreement with the City for other consulting services and have performed quality work for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding is available in the FY 2022-23 budget and funding for subsequent fiscal years will be included in the proposed budgets for City Council consideration. The following is an estimate of expenditures by fiscal year:

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 1 November 17, 2022
Attention: Armando Fernandez, PE
City of Santa Ana
Public Works Agency Water Resources Division
220 S. Daisy Avenue, M-85
Santa Ana, CA 92703
Reference: Proposal For On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems, RFP No. 22-133 Dear Mr. Fernandez and Selection Committee Members:
The City of Santa Ana (City) is proactively addressing the challenge of providing your residents with a safe, reliable water supply by treating your groundwater wells for polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), to comply with California’s notification levels. Under Orange County Water District’s (OCWD) PFAS basin-wide program, of the 21 City wells, four treatment systems are in various stages of design and construction to treat five wells impacted by PFAS. The 2020 Carollo Producer Report, prepared by OCWD, identified nine impacted City wells and evaluated individual or centralized treatment schemes. Your planned feasibility study will build upon that early effort to develop a comprehensive City-wide plan to address PFAS at all impacted wells.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) has been involved in PFAS research, planning, and treatment design for more than a decade. We regularly track both federal and state regulations for our clients across the US. Through our ongoing work at your four OCWD-selected well sites, we have gained significant experience in learning how your water system operates and the unique challenges at each location. Well sites within and adjacent to park areas will require coordination and buy-in from your Parks Department, as well as nearby affected residents. Older well sites may require electrical and or controls upgrades to update to current City standards. In turn, Stantec has teamed with Enterprise Automation (EA) to help design treatment systems that incorporate your system control and operation strategy. Some well sites also have limited treatment space available, such as your Well 38 site that presents unique design challenges.
In addition, Leighton Consulting, Inc. (Leighton) will provide geotechnical support, as they have at your four current project sites. Stantec has partnered with both EA and Leighton on the OCWD projects for the City.
We recognize this is a significant financial impact to system operations and the sooner affected wells come online, the less you have to rely on costly imported water. With a City-led treatment program, projects can be accelerated to meet your schedule rather than relying on OCWD-led designs that have been extended, due to faster and larger expenditure of OCWD funds. Also, the City can progress with treating all affected wells, irrespective of PFAS levels, pending available funding. To expedite implementation and construction, Stantec recommends the City consider prepurchasing long-lead items. Lessons learned from our recent experience with OCWD projects demonstrated that treatment vessels require significant lead time for delivery, which prompted OCWD’s prepurchase of up to 150 vessels. Similarly, emergency generators and motor control centers are experiencing several months to more than a year in lead time. Stantec can work with the City to prepare prepurchase designs and specifications early in our design process to minimize these material delays. Our team also provides the following benefits:
Well Established Local Relationships and Knowledge of Local Infrastructure Our project manager/principal agent, Jim Cathcart, PE, F . ASCE, has been working in Orange County for most of his 45-year career. He is currently overseeing the team working on OCWD’s PFAS Treatment Systems Design for the City.
These established relationships and knowledge of local infrastructure will benefit the City by implementing your treatment systems quickly and efficiently.

+ Sacrament
o County Water Agency PFAS Treatment Feasibility Study, Well 43 and 47
Committed to Delivering on Schedule
We understand the critical time frames associated with these projects. Similarly, you’ll find that our provided references will support our ability to successfully deliver similar projects and provide the necessary resources to meet your schedule. For example, two recent PFAS treatment system designs were both successfully completed on a fast-track basis. For the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, our team expedited the design-build of two temporary treatment facilities to be processing clean water within three months. The design process began May 30, 2017, and water was flowing in the second temporary treatment plant by August 15, 2017.
In providing safe, reliable potable water supplies to City residents—our team looks forward to the opportunity of working with you as trusted advisors to implement your PFAS Treatment Systems.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 7 D. UNDERSTANDING SCOPE OF SERVICES
With the rapidly growing number of regulatory
levels and public health goals for per- and poly-
PFAS compounds, and the additional planned
regulations from both California and the USEPA;
the City is planning ahead to
address PFAS at your
existing groundwater wells (regardless of current
concentrations). Under the OCWD PFAS basin-wide
program, five groundwater wells are currently in
various stages of design and construction to treat
the wells with IX treatment processes. With 21
existing groundwater wells providing a significant
portion of the City’s water supply, the swift and
streamlined planning, design, and construction of
additional groundwater treatment facilities is critical to minimize potential financial impacts from the
costs of supplementing supply with imported water.
In selecting design consultants to provide on-
call planning study, design, bid phase support,
and construction phase support services for
the remaining impacted groundwater wells,
we understand consultant services under this
contract may be for any one or group of City owned
groundwater wells. Well 26 has been identified as
one facility requiring wellhead treatment.
Approach
This section outlines Stantec’s proposed approach
toward on-call planning in addressing City-wide
treatment options, as well as design, bid, and
construction phase services. Our approach is
tailored for the specific considerations of Well 26
and is generally applicable to any of the City’s other
groundwater well sites.
Project Management
Our overall project administration and design
supervision will be an on-going task from initial
planning through construction and start-up of the
treatment facilities. This task will include regular
communication with City staff, other affected
stakeholders, and internal project design staff.
Monthly invoicing and project status reporting
is also included. An initial kick-off meeting,
regular progress meetings, and workshops will
be conducted based on the needs of each on-call
project assignment. Project management effort will
be included separately in the planning tasks, and
design services tasks.
Schedule and Staffing
We have identified staff who are available and
committed for your on-call project. In turn, we also
understand project schedules can change and
staffing conflicts may arise during project delivery
(see Preliminary Schedule). To proactively address
keeping projects on schedule and budget, Stantec
affords a broad network of resources accessible
across multiple offices. As a large and integrated
company, we use this staffing network to help
mitigate staffing issues that may arise. As a recent
example, for LADWP’s San Fernando Groundwater
Treatment design-build project, we mobilized close
to 200 staff across 22 business centers/offices to
deliver final design for 25- and 40-MGD treatment
facilities within 12 months (over 2,000 drawings)—
during the initial Covid-19 outbreak.
Planning Study
To provide a holistic and well-defined plan for PFAS
treatment for impacted wells, the Stantec team
proposes a systematic process with input from the
City along with milestone workshop meetings. The
process will begin by obtaining and reviewing water
quality data, operations information, how each well
is integrated with City reservoirs and the distribution system, along with performing site visits to all
identified well sites. We believe planning is only
as good as the information available. Fortunately,
the Stantec team is already familiar with much
of the City’s wells and water operations. We will
apply this knowledge to Well 26 and any other wells
considered under this study. Additionally, we believe
planning needs to be collaborative, and for the
study as a whole and for each new site considered
we value City input, preferences, and priorities. Our
team has done infrastructure and treatment system
planning for decades, including our recent work
with the West Valley Water District and Sacramento
County Water Authority among others, and you can
ask them about our approach to executing those
projects (see Relevant Experience).
Our proposed work sequence consists of:
+ Kick-off Meeting with the City—Review and
discuss scope of work, schedule, and work plan
for the study
. We will confirm the scope of and
the intended results of the study, and the City’s
available information.

+ Draft Repor
t—For the City’s review, we will prepare
findings, preliminary costs, identify any impacted
stakeholders, and make recommendations regarding
groundwater well treatment alternatives and
approaches. Our analysis will include preliminary
hydraulics and additional infrastructure requirements, if any. Planning level cost opinions will be prepared and
compared with any available funding sources the City
has along with an implementation plan and schedule
(including phasing of priority treatment sites), and a list of required permits to design and construct the
necessary facilities for each site.
+ Prepar
e Final Report—which will incorporate the City’s
review comments.
As part of our approach, we will leverage the strengths of our local experience and industry experts to provide a thorough planning study for the City to serve as a
roadmap for wellhead treatment. The following outlines
how our team will add value to the City:
Incorporate unique institutional knowledge
From the OCWD on-call program, Stantec’s gained
knowledge allows us to evaluate and plan more efficiently and accurately. For example:
+ Our team knows that recr
eational park locations will
require approvals from the Parks Department with the
likely support of 3D renderings. We know this does not
apply for Well 26; however, we can budget this into our design and account for it in the schedule should this
apply to any other City wells.
+ We understand the electrical systems ar
e dated at
some wells and may require upgrades. We have EA, as
the City’s trusted integrator, on our team to advise of I&C upgrades that are planned and/or necessary for
compatible system operations. Our electrical designers
know the upgrades that were necessary at Well 40 and
38, and will identify and plan for similar requirements at other well sites.
+ Stantec is familiar with the PFAS
Treatment Systems
Planning Study Producer Report previously prepared
through OCWD and the water quality from the wells
sampled for that study, all of which were above the NLs for PFOA, PFOS, and the new limit for PFHxS.
Identify options to accelerate schedule
We expect that schedule is important to reduce reliance on high-priced imported water. We will discuss schedule acceleration ideas with the City to identify where the
advantages benefit the City, such as:
+ Pre-pur
chasing vessels can avoid long fabrication lead
times due to high demand for the types of pressure
vessels used for these media-based treatment systems.
Similarly standby generators and electrical control
equipment are becoming increasingly hard to obtain.
We have helped many clients pre-procure equipment
and have standard specifications that can help us
produce pre-purchase bid packages quickly.
+ Our existing designs of other City sites can be
lev
eraged to accelerate the design schedule for any
site. We will be starting work from reviewed and proven layouts and specifications that already incorporate the City’s preferences and standards for many design
aspects.
Water quality expertise
The Stantec team brings a variety of experience on PFAS treatment outside of Orange County to support this
project as needed. In addition:
+ Our team has piloted ion exchange for PF
AS treatment
Stantec’s culture embraces
using first principle science
in our industry-leading water
treatment models and does not
rely on potentially biased vendor
predictions.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 9 and understands the particular challenges with
pretreatment related to iron and manganese in
groundwater and will evaluate this at each well to
determine whether pretreatment is needed.
+ Stantec has partner
ed with Johns Hopkins University
laboratory and is experienced in analytical water quality protocols and analytical techniques. We can assist with additional PFAS sampling plans for City wells, if needed. + Our team brings leading-edge industry knowledge in
PF
AS regulations and treatment and will leverage this
industry knowledge for the City’s benefit. For example, we recommend designing the IX vessels to support use
with alternative medias or GAC, if future use of
alternative media becomes more favorable. We are
currently using this design concept for our project in
Tempe, Arizona.
+ We ar
e aware of and track emerging PFAS regulations—
our team closely follows recent public health goals from the EPA and the anticipated MCLs from EPA for PFOA
and PFOS, and the newly announced NLs and RLs for
PFHxS; along with five other PFAS compounds currently
on California’s list of future regulations. This knowledge can help determine appropriate treatment schemes and
better prepare the City for the future.
Optimization tools
We have considerable experience developing, designing,
and implementing water treatment technologies and
removal effectiveness of PFAS compounds to non-detect
levels. In addition, we have developed a specific tool
to evaluate the use of GAC or IX as the base treatment
system. As part of our due diligence associated with each project, we will develop a preliminary design analysis for the new treatment processes using our IX Design Tool
and can evaluate GAC using a similar tool if desired.
The information developed from the treatment modeling
efforts will be incorporated into the site development
analysis regarding site footprints and equipment
arrangements.
As a cost-saving approach, performed for other systems, we will also consider use of vessel side taps to monitor the contamination “wave front” as it accumulates in the bed. This advantage is that in some instances, it may
be plausible to use only single pass vessels in parallel, reducing the number of vessels by half. This concept has already been approved by the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) for volatile organic compounds treatment systems.
We are adept at comparing alternatives for cost-
effectiveness, for example evaluating individual well site treatment versus centralized treatment. In some cases,
the more cost-effective approach is obvious. When its
worth evaluating, we have spreadsheet models that will
calculate the capital costs for treatment, conveyance,
pumping for decentralized versus centralized scenarios.
We also have a team within Stantec who can identify and analyze candidate parcels using GIS and then perform
market analyses based on real estate information to help estimate land acquisition costs. The output is life-cycle cost comparisons that reveals the more cost-effective
alternative. We most recently performed this evaluation for MWD’s regional water reuse program and can apply this
tool during the planning phase of your project if needed.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 10 Design Phase
After the planning study has concluded, Stantec will
proceed with the various stages of preliminary and
detailed design, initially for Well 26. As one of the largest water treatment design consultants in the world, we plan to use local in-house staff to execute our designs, with the exception of geotechnical and control/automation
services. We maintain all other necessary design
disciplines, including full survey services, along with architectural and landscape services, if needed. This
affords the ability to quickly assemble design teams
familiar with each other and streamlines communication
throughout the design process.
Preliminary Design Phase
An important element in design is regular
communication: It is critical that our design team and
City staff engage in early and frequent communication.
Stantec will prioritize the thorough review of all record drawings, a complete investigation and documentation of existing site features, and interviewing City engineering and operations staff to understand the state of existing facilities as completely as possible. This information will form the basis of our team’s design concepts and will be revisited at each design stage to minimize the potential for unexpected design and construction costs. As we
have learned during the design and construction of the
Well 40 and 38 sites under the OCWD on-call contract,
particular areas of interest that require identification during the early stages of design include:
+ Site access and O&M constraints and consider
ations
+ Location of existing City owned and private utilities within the pr
oject site
+ Age/condition of existing mechanical and electrical
equipment
+ System hydr
aulics analysis
+ Any planned site impro
vements or expansions
To demonstrate and document our understanding of the
design constraints, criteria, and objectives, we will prepare a design report that evaluates the proposed alternatives from the planning study against these standards. The
report preparation consists of the following:
+ Surv
ey and Base Map Preparation: Monuments will be
observed to retrace the extents of any easements and
the centerlines and nearby streets right of ways within the project limits. Of particular importance to the Well 26 site is the verification of any easements associated with the railway behind the property. The results will be incorporated into a base-map illustrating existing
right-of-way conditions. Available agency research, prior surveys, and assessor parcel maps will be used to
prepare the base map.
+ Information Collection: First and for emost, we will
request, collect, and document all City, private utility, and public utility records and documentation as
described in the previous paragraphs. The planning
study will be reviewed to identify the proposed
alternatives and design criteria. After review of the
collected records, we will engage the City as needed for additional input on the project design criteria and goals. + Preliminar
y Design Report Preparation: The report will
consist of an existing conditions description and
evaluation, the project’s design criteria and other
objectives, proposed design alternatives, geotechnical
findings, required controls modifications, and Stantec’s recommendations.
+ Preliminar
y Design Review: Stantec will submit the
Preliminary Design Report to the City for review. A
review workshop will be held with City staff and the
Stantec team. The goal of this preliminary design
review is to verify Stantec’s understanding of the
existing facilities and City’s specific design objectives, as well as to confirm the City’s agreement with the
presented recommendations.
+ Final Design Report: Based on the f
eedback obtained
from the preliminary design review, we will prepare a
Final Design Report that will form the foundation and
guidelines for detailed project design. At this time, the preferred design alternatives will be selected, and all design recommendations will be finalized to establish a clear direction for thef the project’s design.
The submission and acceptance of the Final Design
Report will complete the preliminary design phase. All
identified major design questions, criteria, and risks
will have been answered, addressed, and mitigated at
this point to help ensure the smooth completion of the
detailed design, bidding, and construction phases.
Detailed Design Phase
Following the framework established by the Final Design Report and 30 Percent Design documents, Stantec will
prepare a detailed and coordinated set of construction
documents (CDs). To verify production of the highest-
quality CDs, Stantec will employ a robust quality
assurance and control (QA/QC) program at each level
of document submittal. The QA/QC program will review
all design calculations, check for compliance with state and local regulations, verify the design is coordinated with existing site constraints, and cross check between the discipline drawings and specifications to coordinate design requirements between the documents. This QA/

More specific considerations that will be prioritized during the detailed design include standardization, nuisance noise reduction, and construction schedule optimization. Stantec’s recent and on-going experience with the design and construction of four IX groundwater treatment facility sites under the OCWD on-call contract has provided us with valuable lessons learned and insight needed to focus on these specific design considerations and the City’s preferences, as follows:
+ Standardization:
Since the City already has multiple IX
wellhead treatment projects underway with the OCWD on-call contract, standardization of the equipment to minimize spare parts inventory and simplify the City’s O&M will be a high priority for the design of future IX treatment systems.
However, Stantec recognizes that sole-sourcing major
equipment for the sake of standardization can result in less competitive pricing from vendors. To keep equipment costs as competitive as possible and still achieve a reasonable level of standardization, we will explore equivalent products with compatible consumable and/or wearable components. One
example would be researching alternative manufacturers for the cartridge filter housing that use the same size and style filter elements. Additionally, limiting the types and pre- approved manufacturers of mechanical equipment, such as valves, pumps, and special fittings will also be explored. By narrowing the field of pre-approved manufacturers and
prioritizing the compatibility of components, we can optimize the relationship of equipment standardization and market competition to balance competitive capital costs with minimal O&M inventory and expenses. Similarly, it is important that the design conforms with the City’s standard design guidelines and construction details to simplify O&M and help ensure compatibility with existing City systems.
+ Nuisance Noise Reduction: Many of the City
’s well sites are
located in public areas and/or near residential properties. The addition of equipment—such as pumps, motors, and
generators—may produce nuisance noise. We will design noise barriers (screening walls), sound attenuating enclosures, and other acoustical dampening systems that will meet the City’s municipal code requirements at the property line. Addressing noise reduction will help prevent complaints from adjacent residents and will reduce the amount of attention drawn toward the facility’s operation.
+ Construction Schedule Optimization: To pr
event the need to
augment the City’s water supply with expensive imported water The current, and rapidly growing, list of notification and response levels necessitates prompts speedy action by the City. Selected design consultant(s), and contractor(s) will Proven Local

Cartridge Filters
Prior to treatment, IX filters require removal of suspended solids from the raw water to avoid blinding the media bed, which extends the life of the media. Industry standard is a prefiltration process with five micron rated filters. This filtration step will be accomplished using horizontal, high- flow cartridge filters, which provide the following benefits:
•
Horizontal orientation allows for ease of access
and change out of filters at chest height, pr
otecting
operator safety and reducing the time required per
change out

Cartridge filters are preferred in lieu of bag filters as they offer a higher surface area, reducing the rate of increase in differential pressure, which effectively increases their dirt holding capacity between exchanges. Our example
of life-cycle cost analysis is shown below. The labor is significantly reduced based on number of filters and ease of replacement (horizontal vs. vertical) resulting in a better value to the City for a life-cycle efficient design.
need to address and mitigate PFAS compounds at—all
affected, and even unaffected—well sites. Pairing this
urgent need with the lingering effects of a disrupted
supply chain, and the City’s ability to produce its own water may be impacted for a significant time. During
the detailed design phase, Stantec will work with
equipment vendors and material suppliers to help
determine the availability and lead times of critical
design features. With this information and an
anticipated construction sequence, we will incorporate
the most available materials to minimize potential delay in the overall construction schedule. Stantec will also develop detailed construction sequencing and duration
requirements within the technical specifications to
provide the City with as much control as possible over
the schedule. This will help reduce the amount of time
the City may need to import water while a well (or group of wells) are not operational during construction.
At the completion of the detailed design phases, Stantec will provide the City with a complete set of bidding and CDs for advertising to contractors.
Bidding Phase
To promote a timely and successful bidding process, it is imperative that the City, with the design team’s assistance, respond to all inquiries promptly and thoroughly. This
provides the bidders the most possible time to review
bidding documents and addenda to prepare an accurate
bid with as little ambiguity as possible. To accomplish this, Stantec would record and document all questions
posed during the pre-bid meeting, as well, as all questions submitted via other channels. An addendum (if needed)
would be created and issued, with the City’s input, within one week of the pre-bid meeting. The need for additional addenda would be determined after this point and would
be expedited to as much as practically possible.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 13 Construction Phase
Engineering services during construction (ESDC) for this project will serve a multi-purposed role including verification of conformance to the design intent, facilitation of discussion and conflict resolution, protection of the City’s interests, and record keeping. Construction activities can move very quickly, complicating these roles. To avoid this and meet the requirements of the above-mentioned role, we will take the following steps:
+ Organization: With a flurr
y of communications occurring during the
construction process, it is easy to lose track of outstanding or pending items. A highly organized system of documenting and tracking construction submittals, requests for information (RFI), change orders, transmittals, and the like is one of the most important ways of ensuring a that “everything stays within our radar.” We propose using construction management software, such as Procore, to provide all parties access to real time information in one convenient location. This would provide ease of mind and transparency for the City as well as help keep the project on schedule.
+ Proactiv
e Communication: Frequent communication among all
parties helps builds the trust and confidence to keep a project on schedule. As we have demonstrated during the construction of Well 40, Stantec will engage the City, contractor, and any construction management personnel via emails, phone calls, and/or conference calls as necessary to verify all parties are on the same page to lead the project toward successful completion. For example, during Well 40 construction, Stantec submittal and RFI response time was usually significantly less than allowed by the specifications. + Prioritization: Construction projects mo
ve quickly. We respond
thoroughly to communications, submittals, RFI, and change orders, as we understand these have the potential to cost the contractor and/or the City either time, money, or both. For Well 40 construction and all of our projects under construction, our team prioritizes construction related work. Furthermore, we will communicate with the contractor to prioritize select equipment submittals, RFI, and change orders over other items for this project to facilitate time- sensitive items.
After the contractor has determined they have substantially completed project construction, we will inspect the work to confirm its conformance to the design intent. We will use our experience from the ongoing OCWD on-call contract to guide the successful commissioning of the facility.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 14 TASKS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
Scope of Services
The following defines our scope of services included
within this proposal and our fee estimate.
1. PLANNING STUDY
AND CONSULTING
SERVICES
The Stantec team will perform a Planning Study for the
City in which the number of wells impacted by PFAS, their location, and areas available for a treatment system(s) and site access will be examined. The Planning Study will assess how the treatment system(s) would be integrated
into the City’s existing operations, help determine
whether a centralized treatment plant is feasible for
combining wells, provide alternative design options,
assess the potential for blending, provide initial support for permitting and develop capital costs associated
with potential land acquisition, permitting, pipeline
connections and system integration.
The scope of work consists of the following for the
Planning Study:
A. MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
Stantec will conduct project management activities to
facilitate adherence to budget and schedule. Our team will coordinate and attend meetings with City staff during the planning study, consisting of the following: one project kick off, two planning workshops, one review meeting for the draft report. These meetings will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams except the kick-off meeting, assuming
this is the City’s preference. Stantec will provide minutes for each meeting as well as biweekly progress updates to the City.
B. WELL ASSESSMENT AND INITIAL TREATMENT
DESIGN
Stantec will review information provided by the City on the City’s groundwater conveyance systems, impacted wells,
reservoirs, imported water connections. Our team will
conduct site visits per the City’s request to help determine available area of land for the PFAS treatment system(s), which are assumed to be able to be completed in two full days. Stantec will assess how the treatment system(s)
will be integrated into the City’s existing operations. We will also review existing and available information on
the City’s historical PFAS bench- and pilot-scale testing, as well as historical Planning Studies performed and
existing PFAS treatment facility layouts, and adhere to the standards set therein.
In the preliminary Planning Study, the Stantec team will provide a conceptual layout for each requested location by the City based on existing ion exchange (IX) treatment systems (Aqueous Vets System rated for 150 PSI). For all IX wellhead treatment designs, we will include cartridge filter pre-treatment, a sand separator, IX lead-lag system capable of addressing the well(s)’s gallon per minute
capacity, an emergency generator, and an additional
sound attenuated booster pump to combat the head loss
experienced through the new treatment system.
C. PERMIT ASSESSMENT
Stantec will perform an initial permitting assessment to understand any requirements, as well as develop a list of required permits (including permit description, issuing regulatory agency, summary of permit requirements, and
permit acquisition timelines).
D. FEASIBILITY STUDY
The Planning Study will include a feasibility study in which we will investigate hydraulic conditions of existing wells and help determine what modifications to existing well
pumps and booster pumps will be necessary, if any, for
the installation of the proposed PFAS wellhead treatment facilities.
E. COST ESTIMATES
Stantec will provide an opinion of probable construction costs (OPCC) for the treatment facility equipment,
any necessary land acquisition to accommodate a
treatment system(s), permitting, plumbing connections,
transmission alignments and system integration. Stantec will also provide capital, maintenance and operation cost estimates for IX treatment system(s).
F . PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
Stantec will develop a preliminary phasing schedule for construction in the Planning Study. The plan is intended to provide the City a schedule and projected annual outlays for financial planning. In the preliminary schedule, we will include the anticipated duration of construction, as well as utility extensions required.
G. FINAL REPORT
The final report will consist of a summary of the planning study items listed herein and will be submitted to the City for review and comments. We will provide a PDF digital
copy of the preliminary report and shall incorporate
comments made by the City prior final report submission.
Our final report will also include a summary of major
City Council

4/4/2023
City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 15 findings, any significant challenges or common themes relevant to the City’s system. We will recommend future actions by the City as next steps toward PFAS treatment implementation. The report will contain descriptions of operation and maintenance for the treatment systems
such as IX resin frequency of change out, sample/
analysis frequency, and whether additional staff and
training is required. We have assumed the planning study will evaluate all 21 City groundwater wells. We know that four Wells (18, 24, 36, and 39) at the Garthe Station are impacted by PFAS, and the RFP identifies Well 26 as also impacted. For budgeting purposes, in addition to these
two sites, we assume we will investigate up to three
additional sites for treatment.
2. DESIGN PHASE
Once the Planning Study has been completed, Stantec
will pro
vide design services, including preparation of
design drawings, specifications, OPCC, and permitting
requirements. All submittals described herein will be
provided in the form of a PDF digital copy (full-size). The design phases will include the following items:
A.
Draft Design Repor
t (10 Percent Design
Submittal)
Key technical staff from the Stantec design team will
attend a site visit to observe the existing conditions.
Above-ground utilities, structures, adjacent property types, site access, and available space will be observed and
documented for reference during the design development.
Stantec will perform a desktop review of all available
record drawings from the City and other local utilities.
Our team will develop a Preliminary Design Report that
identifies alternative layouts and potential risks based on the site visit, criteria and constraints identified by the planning study, and the results of the desktop review of record drawings. The Preliminary Design Report will be
submitted to the City for review to identify the preferred design alternative(s).
+ Surv
ey and Base Map Preparation: Monuments will be
observed to retrace the extents of any easements and
the centerlines and right of ways of nearby streets
within the project limits. Of particular importance to the Well 26 site is the verification of any easements
associated with the railway located behind the property.
The results will be incorporated into a base-map
illustrating existing right-of-way conditions. Available agency research, prior surveys, and assessor parcel
maps will be used to prepare the base map.
Current aerial topography and existing planimetrics
data will be obtained for the sites. The photography will be flown for use at a scale of 1” = 20’, with contours
at 1-foot intervals. Spot elevations and existing site
features identifiable from photography will also be
compiled.
+ Geotechnical Services: Our subconsultant, Leight on,
will conduct a detailed review of geotechnical reports
and publications relevant to the project site(s) that are available in their in-house library and the public domain, using as much available subsurface information as
possible to reduce time and effort in the geotechnical
field exploration. Areas where subsurface data are
lacking, additional field exploration and laboratory
testing will be conducted. Once additional work is
approved, encroachment permits, where necessary, and
utility clearance will be obtained.
The field exploration may include borings, cone
penetration testing soundings, test pits, and
geophysical survey, depending on the subsurface soil
and groundwater conditions, proposed project, and site
access and conditions. Representative soil samples
will be collected at selected depths from the borings
and/or test pits and transported to the laboratory for
testing. Geotechnical analyses will be performed in
accordance with the most recent codes and procedures
required by local, state, and federal agencies.
Analyses will include evaluation and mitigation of
seismic hazards (e.g. strong seismic shaking from
an earthquake, earthquake-induced landslides, and
liquefaction), geologic hazards (e.g., soft soils, shallow groundwater, and slope instability), and corrosion
potential of concrete and metal in contact with soils.
Recommendations for seismic design parameters,
foundation design, lateral earth pressures and
frictional resistance for retaining wall design, pavement structural sections, and earthwork will be developed
as needed. The findings and recommendations will
be presented in a formal report that will be signed
and stamped by a California-licensed geotechnical
engineer. Leighton can also provide geotechnical
observation and testing during construction for quality control/assurance purposes.
+ Utility Research:
Stantec will search existing utilities in
the area and along proposed street alignments if
conveyance is required. We will prepare a utility contact spreadsheet listing potential utilities and log
information requests and when data has been received.
A utility plan will denote existing above and below
ground utilities to help determine on-site utility
arrangements.

City of Santa Ana | On-Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 18 SUGGESTIONS OR SPECIAL CONCERNS THE CITY SHOULD
BE AWARE OF
F. VALUE ADDED RELATED SERVICES
In addition to the above scope items, Stantec proposes
the City consider the following additional related services.
These value added services are not included in our fee
schedule, upon request we will provide an additional fee schedule for any items the City decides to include.
1. 3D Renderings
Stantec can prepare three-dimensional renderings of up to ten views of the PFAS treatment system design for a given site for use in City presentations or public stakeholder meetings to illustrate the visual look and feel of the new facilities.
2. DDW Permit Assistance
Amended Permit Assistance: In close coordination and
with information and input from the City for specific
topics, we can prepare an engineering report for DDW
permit amendment for the planned system modifications
to be submitted by the City. This review will evaluate the system background and recent analytical history, purpose, and reason for system changes, proposed treatment
equipment additions, chemical additions, conveyance
changes, and anticipated operational changes. Stantec
will respond to and incorporate one round of DDW
comments and attend two meetings with DDW.
Operations Maintenance and Monitoring Plan (OMMP):
Stantec can prepare an updated OMMP in coordination
with the City for the new treatment system, which is
required by DDW to obtain the amended permit. Stantec
will prepare a draft version of the OMMP for submission by the City to DDW, and Stantec will respond to and
incorporate one round of DDW comments and attend two
meetings with DDW.
3. Electrical Equipment Replacement
As encountered during the OCWD on-call contract, many
of the City’s existing well sites are powered by aged
electrical equipment that may be either undersized for
the new electrical demands, or past its useful service life.
As seen in the Well 26 record drawings provided with the RFP , the existing Motor Control Center (MCC) is more than 50 years old. While this MCC appears to have adequate
capacity for the addition of a booster pump, it would likely prohibit the addition of at least one of the 125 horsepower future pumps. It is our experience that the City generally prefers to upgrade this older equipment. As such,
Stantec can replace the Well 26 MCC with new electrical equipment as part of the design.
4.Chemical System Upgrades
It is unclear from the Well 26 record drawings what type of chemical disinfection systems are present and what
their current state is. If the equipment is in need of
replacement, then we can incorporate a similar system as provided at the City’s Well 38.
5. Construction Inspection Services
As is currently being provided for the construction of Well 40, Stantec can provide part-time construction inspection services and special inspection services (compaction
results, concrete compressive strength testing, welding inspection, and structural observations). These services would relieve the time requirements for City staff during construction.
6. Prepurchase Procurement Package for IX
System and Emergency Generator
Stantec can prepare technical specifications to support the prepurchase of IX vessels and/or an emergency
generator for a given site. This will be a single
procurement package. The City will provide their standard purchase agreement, front ends, and request for proposal and Stantec will assist with compiling a complete and
coordinated procurement packages for bidding. Stantec
will answer technical questions during bidding and
provide a technical evaluation of submitted bid proposals.
