3.1 Evaluation of Financial Impact for Funding Alternatives The financial impact of the three Well #4 Replacement Project funding alternatives were evaluated to quantify the potential benefits associated with pursuing state or federally administered funding programs. This analysis focused on comparing total project costs3 (refer to Figure 1) and the estimated financial burden per residential account per month (refer to Figure 2) under each alternative.
Figure 1: Total Cost of Funding Alternatives
Figure 2: Estimated Debt Service Cost Per Month Per Equivalent Residential Account, FY26-FY30 3 The total costs include the sum of all cash outflows over the lift of the loan. For example, a $3 million construction project financed through a loan of 5% interest over a 30-year term would result in annual payments of approximately $193,000. Over 30 years, this amounts to roughly $5.8 million in total payments.

The analysis indicates that the DWSRF loan program offers the most significant financial benefit to the City. Due to its low-interest financing terms, the DWSRF alternative results in a present value savings of approximately $1.3 million over the life of the project compared to full revenue bond financing.
This cost advantage also translates into a lower monthly impact on ratepayers. The debt service burden, calculated as the annual debt service attributable to the Well #4 project divided by the number of equivalent residential water accounts and then divided by 12 months, shows an estimated reduction of approximately 25%, or roughly $1.05 per month per account when using DWSRF financing instead of revenue bonds.
Importantly, the analysis accounts for a potential 10% increase in construction costs associated with meeting federal cross-cutting requirements. Even with this additional cost, the favorable interest rate of the DWSRF loan still makes it the most financially advantageous alternative for the City.
3.2 Assessment of Funding Alternative Risks
Project financing methods can introduce new risks that may affect both the timeline and overall cost of implementation. These include schedule-related risks and the uncertainty of securing funding through competitive selection processes. In some cases, administrative requirements tied to specific funding programs, such as detailed application procedures, environmental reviews, or compliance documentation, may not align with the project’s current schedule. Similarly, delays in the release or timing of funding opportunities can disrupt planned activities.
If the project schedule must be adjusted to meet funding program timelines or requirements, this can result in extended implementation periods, increased costs due to inflation or contractor pricing, and potential delays in delivering critical infrastructure improvements. These risks should be carefully weighed when selecting a financing strategy to ensure that project delivery remains efficient and costeffective. A summary of the risks associated with each of the three funding alternatives are provided in Table 3 below.
Table 3: Risks Associated with Funding Alternatives
Alternative Definition Assumptions
1 City-issued Revenue
Bonds
The City’s 2024 Water and Wastewater Rate Report indicates that securing new debt financing may be challenging given the current financial condition of the water enterprise fund. This presents a moderate level of risk to the feasibility of obtaining revenue bond financing. By approving the 5-year water rate plan outlined in the Rate Report, the City has worked to mitigate this risk. This funding approach would not trigger federal cross-cutting requirements and is expected to pose minimal risk to the project schedule.

Alternative Definition Assumptions
2 DWSRF Loan Given the project scope and estimated cost, the Well #4 Replacement Project is well-suited for DWSRF funding
opportunities. However, the requirement to apply through a competitive process introduces a moderate level of funding risk. This funding method would trigger federal cross-cutting requirements; however, it presents only modest project schedule risk, as the DWSRF program is well-established with clearly defined application and implementation milestones.
3 Partial Grant Funding
and City-issued
Revenue Bonds
The City’s 2024 Water and Wastewater Rate Report indicates that securing new debt financing may be challenging given the current financial condition of the water enterprise fund. This presents a moderate level of risk to the feasibility of obtaining revenue bond financing. By approving the 5-year water rate plan outlined in the Rate Report, the City has worked to mitigate this risk. Grant opportunities are not currently open for application and would be awarded through a competitive process, resulting in a high level of uncertainty and risk in securing this funding source. This funding method would trigger federal cross-cutting requirements and is associated with a moderate level of project schedule risk.
3.3 Funding Alternatives Evaluation Summary
Based on the funding options identified and evaluated, pursuing a low-interest loan through the DWSRF emerges as the most advantageous option for financing the Well #4 Replacement Project.
The DWSRF program offers the greatest financial benefit to the City while presenting relatively low risk compared to other alternatives.
Hazen recommends that the City move forward with a DWSRF funding application for the Well #4 Replacement Project. In parallel, the City should continue to monitor potential opportunities to supplement this funding with grants, such as those offered by the USBR, should NOFOs be released.
This dual-track strategy would enhance financial flexibility and potentially reduce the City's longterm funding burden.

4. Cost Estimate Evaluation
An updated estimate of probable construction cost was developed for the drilling, development, testing, and equipping of a new groundwater well. This estimate follows the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) guidelines for a Class 5 estimate. A Class 5 estimate is expected to have an accuracy range of -50% to +100% relative to the estimated cost.
Due to the preliminary nature of the design and the classification of the estimate, a 40% design contingency was included. All costs are presented in 2025 dollars. The estimated probable construction cost is summarized in Table 4 below.
Table 4: Cost Estimate
No. Cost Item Total ($)
1 Well Drilling and Development $790,000
2 Well Pump and VFD and Piping $290,000
3 Well Building $120,000
4 Site Work $90,000
5 Yard Piping $60,000
6 Electrical and Controls $210,000
7 Design Contingency $620,000
8 Total including Design Contingency: $2,180,000
9 Furnish new pump instead of reusing existing $740,000 10 Total including with new pump: $2,920,000
The cost estimate is based on the following key assumptions:
The well will have a nominal diameter of 14 inches and a depth of 500 feet below grade. The base cost includes relocating the existing 100hp pump from the existing well to the new well. A new VFD will be provided. Rental of a temporary pump is included for approximately 1 week during switchover. An additional cost for a new 250-horsepower vertical turbine pump is included below the line if a larger pump is required. A 10-foot by 10-foot concrete masonry unit (CMU) building will house the pump. Site work, yard piping, electrical, and controls are estimated as a percentage of the total cost based on similar past projects plus some items as noted by the City such as new sidewalk along Palm Ave, extending the existing chainlink fence around the new wellhead structure, Agenda Item Number 3

installation of a manual transfer switch for future portable generator hook-up, and a security camera and panel.
A new motor control center (MCC) is not included. It is assumed that power and controls will be provided by existing onsite equipment. Electrical costs are limited to new conduit and conductors between existing and new equipment, along with instrumentation at the wellhead.

5. Recommendations
Based on the range of funding sources evaluated, it is recommended that the City move forward with applying for a low-interest loan through the DWSRF to finance the Well #4 Replacement Project. The DWSRF program offers the most favorable financial terms and aligns well with the project's scope and objectives.
In addition, the City should actively monitor federal grant opportunity announcements, including those from the USBR, which may offer supplemental funding opportunities in the future. While such grants could help reduce the City's long-term financial burden, the availability and timing of these opportunities remain uncertain. Given this uncertainty, it is not recommended that the City rely on potential federal grant funding as part of its primary financial planning for the project. However, if relevant grant opportunities are released, the City should promptly evaluate the associated costs, benefits, and administrative requirements to determine whether pursuing supplemental funding would be advantageous. This flexible, proactive approach allows the City to move forward with a secure funding path while remaining positioned to capitalize on additional opportunities as they arise.

LSCE has provided engineering and hydrogeologic
services to the Town of Discovery Bay (TODB) for over
25 years, offering comprehensive engineering and
hydrogeologic solutions that encompass groundwater
supply, treatment, and distribution. The Town relies
exclusively on groundwater from several aquifers
whose water quality ranges from fresh to brackish.
LSCE's work has focused on understanding these
aquifers in detail, then developing solutions that
protect water quality, improve system reliability, and
support long-term planning. LSCE's work with the
Town has included groundwater investigations, well
siting studies, well design, construcfion oversight,
pump station design, treatment plant design, well
reha bilitation programs, a nd distribution system
analysis, design, and construction.
A major component of LSCE's work for the Town
involves site-specifi c hydrogeologic investigations
to identify brackish water intervals and design
municipal wells that draw from the most productive
freshwater zones. These investigations have combined
historic well data, geologic records, and downhole
geophysics to develop conceptual production well
designs for each new site. LSCE has overseen the
drilling of test holes, installation of multi-completion monitoring wells, and collection of depth-specific
water quality samples. These efforts have led directly
to the construction of multiple new municipal wells
that meet both yield and water quality objectives,
including the most recent investigation and design
for Well No. 8, which features an iron and manganese
treatment system capable of producing up to 1,980
gallons per minute.
ln addition to well development, LSCE serves as
the Town's District Engineer, providing strategic
planning, regulatory compliance, asset management
development, and hydraulic modeling. LSCE prepared
the most recent Water Master Plan, Urban Water
Management Plan, and annualSB 555-compliant
water audits. LSCE also completed the Town's Risk
and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response
Plan in accordance with AWIA requirements. These
efforts help the Town navigate evolving regulatory
requirements while maintaining a clear roadmap for
capital improvements and system resiliency.

LSCE has supported the Wild Wings County Service
Area (CSA) public water system for more than twenty
years. The firm designed the original water supply,
storage, pumping, and distribution facilities when the
system was constructed in 2002 and has continued to
provide technical guidance as the community's water
quality and supply conditions evolved. This long-term
involvement has created a detailed understanding
of system constraints, regulatory obligations, and
operational needs, which has been critical as the CSA's groundwater conditions changed over time,
Arsenic treatment planning began in 2018 when
concentrations at the Canvasback well exceeded the
State Maximum Contaminant Level. LSCE prepared
preliminary treatment concepts for this source, which
remained in emergency standby status. Rising arsenic
levels at the Pintail well in 2020 prompted a broader
feasibility analysis. Work included potable and nonpotable demand evaluations, treatment sizing, and a comparison of adsorption and coagulation filtration
technologies. The review also addressed chemicalfeed
design, backwash and waste handling needs, longterm maintenance considerations, and capital and operating costs. LSCE coordinated vendor outreach,
developed a pilot testing protocol, and supported
pilot testing efforts with system operators, treatment
vendors, and the University of California, Davis. These evaluations culminated in conceptual layouts and
refined design recommendations for siting treatment
at the Pintail well.
From2O27 through 2023, LSCE advanced the
arsenic treatment project through full design. plans,
specifications, and a comprehensive cost estimate
were prepared for a 500 gpm adsorption treatment
system capable of treating water from Pintail as
well as from the Canvasback well through the
existing raw water pipeline. The design includes dual
treatment vessels on a skid, pH adjustment systems, a
15,500-gallon backwash tank, and complete process,
electrical, and control improvements. Construction
management support commenced in late 2023 and
has included submittal review, RFI coordination,
field visits, progress payment reviews, and regular
communication with County staff to ensure scope,
budget, and schedule alignment.
Declining groundwater levels in the region prompted
the CSA to also pursue an additional supply well
and associated pump stafion in parallel with the
treatment effort. LSCE completed the well siting
evaluation and regulatory concurrence, prepared
CEQA documentation, and provided design and
construction-phase support for the new Wood Duck
production well and pump station. The well was
drilled to a depth of approximately L,150 feet and
constructed as an L8-inch diameter municipal supply
well. Planned above-ground improvements include
station piping and valving, a vertical turbine well
pump, electrical and control systems, and provisions
for future backup generator, chemical treatment, and
tie-in to the distribution system. Construction of the
Wood Duck Pump Station is now underway.'

City Council Meeting Packet for March 17, 2026
Project U nderstanding and Approach
Section 4.
Understanding
LSCE understands that the City of Sebastopol
(City) relies exclusively on groundwater to meet its
potable water system demands, with no interties
to neighboring agencies. This creates a strong
dependence on individual production wells for
system capacity and redundancy. Well 4, constructed
in 1953, has reached the end of its useful service
life, and its replacement is critical for maintaining
reliability during peak demands and drought periods.
The City's objective is to construct a new well and
pump station at the existing site that maximizes
yield, performance, and operational efficiency for the
subject Well 4 Replacement Project (ClP #0822-24.06).
Significant elements of the project include funding
assistance, permitting, well and pump station design,
and preparation of project specifications and bid
documents.
All project elements defined in the RFP are fully
incorporated into LSCE's work plan. The plan identifies each task, the work to be completed within that task,
and the associated cost. lt distinguishes investigation activities from well design and pump station design,
while maintaining a clear sequence that supports
efficient project delivery. LSCE is familiar with the
funding alternatives presented in Appendix D and will
integrate those considerations into the design and
permitting approach. The level of detail in the work
plan reflects what is required to investigate and design a fully permitted replacement well and pump station
that meets the City's needs. This proposal includes
services through completion of the well and pump
station design only, with the understanding that the
City will issue a separate RFP for construction-phase
services at a later date.
Approach
For more than forty-five years, LSCE has continually
refined its approach to projects similar to that
described in the City's RFP. We continually refine our
project approach based on the experience gained
from completing hundreds of similar well pump
station projects, advances in investigative and design
methods, and changing regulatory requirements.
LSCE's general approach is to achieve a practical and
straightforward design that meets the City's budget
and schedule objectives, while also ensuring that all
design aspects have been thoroughly considered.
LSCE has reviewed the funding TM completed by
Hazen Sawyer, which provides the City with the
recommendation of pursuing DWSRF funding for
this project. The DWSRF program offers low interest
rates; however, it would delay project delivery by
3 to 5 years due to the long lead times associated
with SRF funding, including the review and approval
of funding applications, as well as the execution of
funding agreements. The LSCE proposal assumes
providing support for DWSRF funding based on our
success in securing DWSRF funding for our clients. lf
the project delivery time line is important to the City for this critically important water infrastructure, LSCE can assist the City with a project funding strategy that would identify the best available funding sources that
would expedite the project delivery schedule, resulting in lower funding administrative costs and reducing
water system risk to a more acceptable level.
LSCE's approach for this project will include the
early concurrent execution of key site investigations,
preliminary design elements, and CEQA review, as well
as the identification of required mitigation measures
to identify any issues that may affect project efficiency and timeline.
Other aspects of our project approach are outlined
below. They are aligned with the efforts outlined
in the Detailed Work Plan section of this proposal,
enabling us to proceed with multiple headings to
ensure timely project completion. Creative insight,
innovative response to perplexing challenges, and
sound technical knowledge to support practical
engineered solutions are integral to our practice.
WTLL DESIGN
To begin the project, LSCE will evaluate the site in
terms of constructability, specifically the ability to
locate a well on the site that meets all SWRCB-DDW
minimum setbacks from sanitary features, as well as the establishment of a control zone around the well. LSCE's extensive experience with well siting, well construction, pump station design, and operation enables us to
critically evaluate and identify any challenges or
impediments to the design or construction and use
of a well and pump station, and develop strategies to
address any identified issues early in the planning and design stage ofthe project.
4Jt LscE City of Sebastopol I Well 4 Replacement I Decernber 8, 2025 7 Agenda Item Number 3
Agenda Item Number 3
City Council Meeting Packet for March 17, 2026
LSCE will utilize lithologic, well construction, well
performance, and water quality data from existing
City wells, along with other relevant data sources and
information, to refine its current understanding of
the hydrogeologic system in the Sebastopol area. This
refinement of our understanding of the hydrogeologic
landscape will serve as the basis for our site-specific hydrogeologic assessment and will inform the
preparation of a well design. Additionally, LSCE will
prepare a detailed engineer's estimate presenting the
projected costs for the replacement well.
LSCE will prepare well construction and testing
specifications that include detailed requirements to be followed by the well drilling contractor during every
phase of the project. These specifications will adhere to the most up-to-date well drilling industry standards and ensure compliance with all pertinent regulations and
permit requirements.
PUMP STATION DESIGN
LSCE has identified the following significant project
elements associated with the well pump station design
phase, which will be key to the project's successful
completion on budget and within schedule.
Utilities - LSCE will request that the City provide
any additional information pertaining to the site,
including existing City facilities, and other utilities via as-builts. LSCE will tie in to existing utilities (water, storm, sewer, electrical, etc.) onsite as needed to
support the new well pump facility. Due to the long
lead time required to secure electrical power to the
site, one of the first items to be addressed is the
filing of the application for electrical service with
PG&E.
Section 5.
Detailed Scope of Work
LSCE has reviewed and understands the project as
outlined in the City's RFP. The Scope of Work outlined
in the tasks below encompasses all the core objectives
outlined in the RFP.
Task 1- Project Coordination,
Meetings, and Administration
TASK 1.1- KICKOFF AND INFORMATION
REQU EST
LSCE's work on the project will begin with a kickoff
meeting with City staff and key LSCE team members
to discuss the various aspects of the project. ltems
Existing Property - LSCE will work with all parties
to minimize any schedule impacts associated with
identifying the space required for a new well pump
station site within the existing lot.
Building - LSCE understands that the new well
pump, electrical equipment, chemical feed
equipment, and station piping will need to be
housed in a new building. LSCE envisions the
building to be wood-framed to match the structure
type of the existing building onsite. LSCE has
developed a unique, removable roof design for
wellhead access, which is used on many of our well
pump stations for the City's consideration.
Well Pump - LSCE will evaluate the new well
design and construction information to confirm
the suitability and proper placement of the pump
already purchased by the City. This includes
reviewing specific capacity data to establish
appropriate head conditions, assessing projected
pumping water levels and screen intervals to ensure
correct setting depths, and verifying alignment and
plumbness survey results so that column diameter
and shaft tolerances do not create vibration or wear
issues. LSCE will also review whether any extended
suction ortailpipe modifications are needed to
position the pump intake in an optimal zone. lf any
compatibility concerns arise between the well's final
characteristics a nd the City-furn ished equipment,
LSCE will identify necessary adjustments and
coordinate with the City during the design process.
LSCE assumes that after the well is constructed and
well pump testing is completed, the City (with LSCE's
assistance under a separate contract) will finalize
the well pump design to incorporate actual specific
capacity and production capacity for the well.
such as contact information, chain of command,
the City's project expectations, respective roles and
responsibilities, schedule, design preferences and
parameters, and site constraints shall be discussed at
the kick-off meeting. Following the meeting, LSCE will
provide the City with a list of requested information.
TASK 1.2 - PROJECT COORDINATION,
M EETINGS, AN D ADM I N ISTRATION
Key LSCE team members will attend regular design
meetings with the City to discuss various aspects
of the project. For each meeting, LSCE will prepare
and distribute meeting agendas, minutes, and
4Jt LscE City of Sebastopr:l I Well 4 Replacetnent I December 8, 202S 8 Agenda Item Number 3
Agenda Item Number 3
City Council Meeting Packet for March 17, 2026
summaries of action items. LSCE will also provide
frequent updates via email or telephone as needed
throughout the project. This task also provides project management and administrative activities such as: (a)
Contractual Arra ngements, (b) Ongoing Exa mination
Regarding Adherence to The Scope, Budget, and
Schedule, (c) Coordination of Staff Resources (d)
lnternal Review of Work Products, (e) Management of
Subcontractors, (f) Billing Review, and (g) Scoping and Budgeting.
Task 2 - Permitting Assistance
TASI( 2.1" _ PERMITTING ASSISTANCE
Through our work on numerous projects in the past,
LSCE has developed a good working relationship
with the SWRCB and other regional permitting and
regulatory entities and can assist in expediting
all necessary applications and supporting permit
documents in a cost-efficient manner. LSCE envisions
that the following permitting activities will be
required to complete the project.
SWRCB-DDW Water Supply Permit Amendment -
LSCE will coordinate with the SWRCB-DDW and the
City to provide all necessary supporting technical
information to complete the water supply permit
amendment package, which will be submitted to
the SWRCB-DDW. LSCE has completed numerous
new and amended water supply permits and has
a thorough understanding of the SWRCB-DDW
process and the required submittals. A draft water
supply amendment will be submitted to the SWRCBDDW following construction of the production well.
Following the completion and acceptance of the
project, LSCE will assist the City with the preparation of the final DDW amended water supply permit,
which will include updates to the information from
the preliminary submittal and the submission of the
final As-Built drawings prepared by LSCE.
CEQA - LSCE envisions that the project meets the
requirements for a CEQA categorical exemption.
LSCE will prepare CEQA documentation conslstent
with a Class 1 or Class 3 Categorical Exemption,
including drafting the exemption form, providing
supporti ng technical rationale, coordinating with
City Planning staff, and assisting the City in filing the Notice of Exemption.
Other Permltting Activities - LSCE will contact
applicable agencies as needed to establish
permitting requirements for well drilling (County of
Sonoma), well siting concurrence (Department of
Drinking Water), encroachment permits (City), and
discharge requirements for development and pump
testing fluids (City).
Task 3 - Site Specific lnvestigation
TASI( 3.1_ INITIAL SITE ASSESSMENI
Well Siting Review - LSCE will complete a thorough
onsite inspection/assessment of the site. Specifically, LSCE will evaluate the well site in relation to the
siting and constructability of the new well, as well as the DDW setback distances from sanitary features
and control zone requirements.
Hydrogeologic Review - The goal of the
hydrogeologic review is to determine the probable
yield, water quality, anticipated well depth, screen
intervals, static and pumping water levels, specific
capacity, and potential impacts on nearby wells due
to the pumping of the new well.
Evaluation of Potential lmpacts to Groundwater
Quality - LSCE will investigate possible sources of
groundwater contamination in the vicinity of the
project site.
TASK 3.2 _ WELL DESIGN
RECOMMENDATION REPORT
LSCE will prepare and deliver to the City a well design recommendation report that provides justification for
the recommended well design. The report will include
a preliminary well design profile and a preliminary
construction cost estimate.
TASK 3.3 _ SITING CONCU RRENCE
After the City approves the well design, LSCE will
prepare an initial DDW submittal document requesting
siting and design concurrence for the new well, based
on compliance with DDW and DWR regulations. The
initial submlttal will include a preliminary well design, site layout, location map indicating location and
distances of sanitary features from the proposed well
location, delineation of the wellhead control zone, and the preliminary DWSAP.
Task 4 - Production Well Design
TASK 4.1_ PRODUCTION WELL
CONSTRUCTION SPECI FICATIONS
LSCE will prepare specifications that include detailed
construction requirements to be followed by the
well drilling contractor during every phase of the
project, including minimum acceptable methods
for drilling fluid control, well development, pump
testing, and well performance standards. Other
site-specific items will include requirements for the
4Jt LscE City of Sebastopol I Well 4 Replacement I December 8, 2025 9 Agenda Item Number 3
Agenda Item Number 3
City Council Meeting Packet for March 17, 2026
containment and disposal of drill cuttings, as well as
the handling of discharge water during development
and test pumping, in accordance with applicable local,
state, and federal regulations. The production well
specifications will include comprehensive design plans, accompanied by an engineer's cost estimate for the
City's use.
LSCE will attend up to two regulatory coordination
meetings with SWRCB-DDW and the Water Board,
supporting the City with technical presentations and
responding to regulator questions related to siting,
well design, and water supply permit amendments
under this task.
LSCE will also support one public outreach meeting
under this task by preparing presentation materials,
summarizing technical content in accessible formats,
and attending meetings with City staff to respond
to community questions related to well siting,
design, construction sequencing, and water-quality
considerations.
Task 5 - Pump Station Design
TASK 5.1_ PRELIMINARY PUMP STATION
DESI6N ACTIVITIES
LSCE will meet with and conduct a site visit with
City personnel to discuss the overall pump station
p roject d esign req u i re me nts, construction concepts, and site constraints at the existing site. The primary
goal of the site visit is to discuss the design elements required to serve the new facility, including water
supply connection, storm drain pump-to-waste
(overboard) operations, building sewer systems,
electrical services, radio commu nications, access
controls, and other relevant aspects. To aid in this
preliminary design effort, LSCE will distribute a design basis checklist document to the City, enabling it to
quickly obtain a comprehensive understanding of the
City's preferences for the functionality, operation, and equipment to be designed.
The LSCE Team will complete a topographic survey
basemap in AutoCAD format for the project site.
The basemap will be used for the preliminary layout
of the pump station, which will, in turn, be used for
preparing the final bid set plans. LSCE will incorporate City-provided standard plans, as-builts, and base
mapping (as available) into the design process to
ensure consistency with existing infrastructure.
It is assumed that an existing geotechnical site
investigation/study is available from the City for
purposes of facilitating the overall project design,
including structural foundation and building design
elements.
Under this task, LSCE will also develop a Preliminary
Design Report (PDR). The report will summarize
design criteria, site constraints, and key assumptions
established during early coordination with the City.
It will present preliminary layouts for the building,
site civil improvements, process piping, electrical
systems, and instrumentation. The report will also
include an evaluation of the City-furnished pump
equipment for compatibility with well performance
data, along with any recommended adjustments to
accommodate the equipment within the pump station
design. Additionally, the PDR will outline anticipated
permitting needs, identify any remaining data gaps,
and provide a preliminary engineer's estimate of
probable construction cost. The document will serve
as the basis for the development of the initial 50%
design submittal (as part of Task 5.2) and will confirm alignment between LSCE and the City on scope,
configuration, and design direction before advancing
into detailed design.
TASK 5.2 _ PUMP STATION DESIGN AN D
CO NSTRUCTION SPECI F ICATIONS
This task covers the scope of work required to prepare
the engineering plans and technical specifications
for the project, consisting of a well pump and motor,
motor control center, discharge piping, chemical
treatment system, instrumentation, electrical control
panels, SCADA communication, a wood-framed
building to house the above-ground components
onsite, and all other required site improvements. The
design will also address all other site modifications
and improvements, including grading, drainage,
paving, fencing, painting, etc. Following submittal of
the PDR, the detailed design will be completed at the
50% and 100% stages, and an Engineer's Estimate of
project construction costs will be prepared with each
design phase. After the City's review of each design
phase, LSCE will prepare the complete set of plans
and specifications for the subsequent design stage,
incorporating any comments received from the City in
the previous design reviews.
LSCE will attend up to two regulatory coordination
meetings with SWRCB-DDW and the Water Board to
obtain approval for the well pump station plans, the
water supply permit amendment, and to coordinate
field visits during project startup.
LSCE will also support one public outreach meeting
under this task by preparing presentation materials,
summarizing technical content in accessible formats,
4Jt LscE City of Sebastopr:l I Well 4 Replacement I December 8, 2025 10 Agenda Item Number 3
Agenda Item Number 3

and attending follow-up meetings with City staff to
respond to community questions related to the well
pump station design and construction scope.
Task 6 - Funding Assistance
LSCE will assist the City with preparing and submitting a DWSRF funding application, including assembling
tech nical docu mentation, schedules, preliminary cost
estimates, a nd environmental compliance materials.
TASK 6.1- DWSRF CONSTRUCTION
FUNDING APPLICATION
LSCE will coordinate with the City to incorporate
the needed information and data for the proposed
Project to complete the DWSRF Construction Funding
Application. The Project scope of work, budget, and
schedule will be developed in coordination with the
city, consistent with the 2025 DWSRF Construction
Funding Program guidelines. LSCE will prepare and
submit the required DWSRF Construction Funding
Application documents, including the application
elements, as follows:
. General Package - DWSRF Construction Funding
Application Package
. Technical Package - DWSRF Construction Funding
Application Package (100% design)
. Environmental Package - DWSRF Construction
Funding Application Package (CEQA-Plus)
. Financial Package - DWSRF Construction Funding
Application Package
The application elements above will be developed
based on information provided by the City. LSCE will
develop a comprehensive DWSRF construction funding
application, which will contain the four packages
outlined above.
LSCE will develop the Project Report required as
part of the Technical Package submittal and will
incorporate the 100% plans and specifications
prepared under Tasks 4 and 5 into the Project Report,
as required for a complete DWSRF funding application.
LSCE will submit a draft of the completed DWSRF
Construction Funding Application packages to the
City for review and comment before submitting the
final application. Comments from the City will be
incorporated into the final application submitted to
the SWRCB.
LSCE will submit the completed DWSRF Construction
Funding Application through the SWRCB's online
FAAST process. The process of receiving funding
approval is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter
of 2026. The funding agency will review applications
in2027, subject to their schedule for processing other
funding applications. LSCE will work with the funding
agency to submit a complete application and to help
coordinate a timely decision for funding approval.
TASK 6.2 * DWSRF ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCU M ENTATION
This task involves preparing the minimum CEQA-Plus
requirements outlined in the DWSRF funding policy.
This would involve preparing Cultural and Biological
Resource Assessments that meet both federal
and state environmental requirements. lt is LSCE's
experience that, at a minimum, these assessments are
the required for all DWSRF construction applications
and must be completed as part of the application
approval process. These are in addition to the
proposed CEQA compliance documentation for a well
replacement, which typically involves preparing and
filing a Notice of Exemption. Any additional CEQA-Plus
or other compliance documentation required, beyond
that described above, would be prepared through
an additional task order as agreed upon between
the parties. lt has been LSCE's experience that the
DWSRF funding program often requires the most
stringent environmental docu mentation a nd processes
compared to other funding options.
TASK 6,3 _ ALTERNATE FUNDING SOURCES
(OPTIONAL)
LSCE is also available to identify eligibility for
complementary programs and coordinate with City
staff on required submittals. lf the City chooses to
pursue an alternative funding source, LSCE would
assist with the funding application procurement
process and coordination with the funding agency.

Mr. Thomas Frisch has worked in the
water/wastewater/power/landfill industries since 1991,
developing skills in power, controls, instrumentation, and communications. He has become very familiar with most
practices and processes used in this industry. His
experience is diverse since he has worked as a Contractor and Consultant in various capacities. As a Contractor, he brought contract drawings to completion by designing
the final details, making submittals, and managing
production. As a Consultant, he has designed over 250
water and wastewater projects ranging from small pump stations to large-scale treatment plants. Consequently, he has a high degree of product knowledge that enables him to minimize design exposure to unproven materials or practices. He understands the challenges that Contractors face in translating plans into construction and knows when to assist on behalf of the Owner. His designs for electrical, instrumentation, and telemetry systems have been very successful with near-zero change orders due to design flaws. His designs include complex PLC motor controls for booster pump stations, lift stations, and motor-operated valves, as well as SCADA telemetry between pump stations and tanks. He has conducted electrical studies, including damage assessments, to determine system capacity and performed cost comparisons to evaluate the electrical operational costs of VFDs versus throttled fixed-speed motors.
