SCOPE OF WORK FOR
Sunnyvale Cleanwater Program
WPCP Yard Piping Condition Assessment — Project 0.4
II. General
The City of Sunnyvale is seeking proposals from licensed engineering firms to provide professional engineering services for a yard piping condition assessment project at the Donald M. Somers Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). The budget available is $1,000,000 for the base scope of condition assessment services, with an allowance of $200,000 for optional cleaning and bypass pumping activities. Consultant proposals shall include an approach which makes best use of this budget and provides for strategic refinement of the approach as information gathering and analysis proceeds throughout the project. The scope of work for the successful Consultant (once under contract) is to be organized into the following task groups:
Project Management
Existing Data Review and Gap Analysis
Health and Safety Plan and Condition Assessment Work Plan Condition Assessment
Optional Tasks
III. Project Information
A. Description
1. Cleanwater Program Description
The existing Donald M. Somers WPCP was originally built in 1956. With additions over the next 15–20 years, it grew to a tertiary treatment facility with an average dry weather flow of 14 million gallons per day (MGD) and a permitted average dry weather flow of 29.5 MGD. An asset condition assessment conducted in 2006 found several critical WPCP structures as ‘at-risk’ and in need of immediate rehabilitation.
Based on this assessment, the City began implementing several rehabilitation projects and also developed a long-term Strategic Infrastructure Plan (SIP) to serve as a road map for the physical improvements and process enhancements needed to maintain a high level of treatment and to meet current and expected regulatory requirements and stewardship goals (Available Documents, Section V). In 2013, the City secured the professional services of a team of consultants to develop a comprehensive Master Plan, which included the basis of design (for the various process areas to be rebuilt) and a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR).
In 2016, the City adopted a Master Plan to guide improvements to the WPCP facilities and operations over the next 25 years (Available Documents, Section V).
The Master Plan was developed to address challenges facing the WPCP and to Attachment 1
support City policies. These challenges include aging infrastructure, changes in regulatory requirements, and increases in population, flows, and loads. The Master Plan identified capital improvement projects, estimated costs, and recommended approaches to achieve the planning goals.
The City also certified a Final PEIR for the Master Plan in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines (Available Documents, Section V).
Implementation of this Master Plan is carried out through the ongoing Sunnyvale Cleanwater Program (Program). The Program consists of five phases:
Phase 1 – Primary Treatment and Plant Rehabilitation
Phase 2 – Secondary Treatment Stage 1
Phase 3 – Bioenergy Upgrades
Phase 4 – Secondary Treatment Stage 2
Phase 5 – Tertiary Treatment Upgrades
The packaging and timing of projects has evolved since the Master Plan was adopted; the evolution is captured in the current Program schedule (Available Documents, Section V).
2. WPCP Pipeline Condition Assessment Need
Because of the WPCP’s age, key yard piping elements must be assessed to figure out if rehabilitation or replacement is needed to maintain permit compliance. The condition assessment is needed to replace Project 9.4 (see Table 1) with a rational project description and budget before the Master Plan Update is adopted and to inform the scope of work for P9.4 and serve as a guiding document for that designer.
3. Owner’s Representatives
The City has engaged a program management consultant (PMC) who augments the City’s Public Works Department and coordinates all projects in the Sunnyvale Cleanwater Program. The PMC’s role includes oversight of master planning efforts to evaluate treatment and equipment options, oversee and coordinate multiple design and construction contracts, and coordinate the rehabilitation/reconstruction program with ongoing Plant operations. This project will be directed by Public Works staff, with day-to-day oversight by the PMC and close involvement with the City’s Environmental Services Department (ESD). As such, the Consultant will be required to communicate and coordinate with the PMC as necessary.
B. Location
The WPCP is located at 1444 Borregas Avenue, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, California.
The site lies in the Moffett Park neighborhood, directly south of South San Francisco Bay, in the northern part of the City of Sunnyvale. The site includes approximately Attachment 1
16.5 acres within the main WPCP, and approximately 440 acres of oxidation ponds. The City’s Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer (SMaRT) Station lies to the east. The City’s closed municipal solid waste landfill borders the south and west of the site. The Sunnyvale West Channel forms the western boundary of the site.
C. Existing Conditions
Following adoption of the Master Plan, the City began implementing the Cleanwater Program. Projects recently completed include Caribbean Drive Parking and Trail Access Enhancements and Package 1 of the new Headworks and Primary Treatment Facilities.
Capital improvement projects recommended by the Master Plan are categorized into two groups—funded and unfunded (Tables 1 and 2). Funded projects are included in the City’s 20-year projects budget. Unfunded projects are not included in the City’s adopted budget, generally because the necessity of these projects is less certain. Other smaller projects at the WPCP will be executed by the Environmental Services Department.
The WPCP operates in accordance with the following NPDES Permits issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board: NPDES Permit No. CA0037621 (adopted as Order R2-2020-0002, Waste Discharge Requirements for the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant and its collection system), NPDES Permit No. CA0038873 (adopted as Order No. R2-2019-0017, Waste Discharge Requirement for Nutrients from Municipal Wastewater Discharges to San Francisco Bay), and NPDES Permit No. 0038849 (adopted as Order No. R2-2022-0038, Waste Discharge Requirements for Mercury and PCBs from Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Discharges to San Francisco Bay).
The WPCP also operates in accordance with Title V of the Clean Air Act through Major Facility Review Permit for Facility #A0733 issued by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

IV. Consultant Scope of Services
Consultant services shall include, but are not limited to the following tasks:
• Project Management
• Existing Data Review and Gap Analysis
• Health and Safety Plan and Condition Assessment Work Plan • Condition Assessment
• Optional Services
Activities associated with the execution of these tasks include meetings and workshops, field activities, technical analysis, cost estimating, and preparation of reports.
The Consultant is expected to maintain frequent and prompt communication throughout the project. Minimum required workshops and progress meetings are enumerated under the tasks they support. Added meetings or conference calls as needed to move the project forward are included implicitly in this scope. Consultant’s meeting responsibilities include:
• Scheduling meetings one month in advance
• Naming the meeting purpose and required attendees
• Preparing and sending an agenda and any presentation material at least one week in advance
• Preparing and distributing meeting minutes within one week
For workshops, Consultant’s responsibilities also include:
• Submitting the associated draft deliverable and related presentation at least one week prior to the workshop
• Including decisions required at the workshop in the agenda • Obtaining PMC’s input on workshop content
Attachment 1
• Submitting the slides in PowerPoint format
• Leading a pre-call with PMC and Public Works to plan the workshop
For deliverables, Consultant will supply electronic copies (in PDF format) of the draft and the final versions to the City. The City will supply a comment file (*.xls) to the Consultant; Consultant will supply responses to resolve all comments prior to completing the final version of the deliverable. PDFs must be fully text-searchable and formatted to be navigable with a ‘bookmark’ for each heading and subheading. Final deliverables will incorporate review comments and decisions made at the associated workshop; workshop minutes, PowerPoint presentation, comment log, and decision log will be included as appendices.
Upon conclusion of the project, the Consultant will provide the City with all delivered files in original native file format (e.g., *.docx, .xlsx); this includes reports, CAD files, modeling files, spreadsheets, cost estimates, field photographs and videos, calculations, and all other deliverables.
All on-site condition assessment activities or other work performed by the Consultant shall be scheduled and coordinated with the City and Plant staff in advance. Note that the continued operation of the Plant and permit compliance is of the greatest importance. Any work on-site must be done in a manner not to disrupt the concurrent and ongoing operation of the Plant.
As related to the field activities, the City will perform the services necessary to shut down and isolate facilities for inspection. Securing equipment, opening access locations, and gravity draining of structures and/or piping will be conducted by the City unless otherwise noted. City staff will also dewater and hose down facilities to the best of their ability to reduce contractor costs and enhance the efficiency of work execution. This work will be coordinated with Plant operations and maintenance staff and is subject to staff availability, current construction requirements, proper lead time, and maintaining wastewater treatment requirements.
The City’s procedures to secure specific wastewater treatment equipment/processes will be discussed at the kick-off meeting (includes entry to the WPCP, System Outage Requests (SOR), and various on-site safety requirements, etc.) and the need to follow these procedures to allow for the proper lead time, use of forms for shutdowns (minimum of 2 weeks in advance), and communication/coordination efforts cannot be overstated.
Consultant will supply a 3-week “look-ahead” schedule to keep everyone up to date on progress and expected near-term work requirements. During shutdowns of major systems, the City expects the Consultant to make every effort to gather as much information as possible in those areas/systems/equipment to be inspected to minimize the number of shutdowns, frequency of shutdowns and/or excavations while maximizing the amount of relative information that is available.
The Consultant will perform all engineering and project management-related work necessary to prepare a condition assessment report suitable for use as the guiding document for the future Civil/Site Improvements Project. The scope of work includes a physical assessment of the specified WPCP yard piping, recommendations for repairs (to Attachment 1
include repair cost estimates/budget and schedule/duration), and a priority-based recommendation and phasing for replacement or rehabilitation. Consultant shall be aware of seasonal weather forecast constraints and available facility shutdown windows during the work schedule.
A. Project Management
The Consultant will be the primary responsible party for managing the project’s schedule and Consultant’s contract budget, including the schedule and budget of their subconsultants. Consultant must not perform any work they consider out-of-scope without prior written approval from the City. Consultant is also responsible for alerting the City if it ever becomes clear that the work as-scoped no longer appears likely to accomplish the goal as originally intended. In addition, the Consultant will lead a monthly progress meeting and prepare action item logs for later follow-up. During the period when active fieldwork (e.g., pipe inspection and condition assessment) is planned, the Consultant will lead a daily briefing on-site for the field team prior to prereview the day’s agenda and confirm roles and responsibilities for planned activities. The Consultant is expected to maintain frequent and timely communication with City staff throughout the project.
Key personnel will be shown by name and role in the proposal. The Consultant will not replace key personnel without written approval from the City.
Consultant is responsible for the following items:
1. Project Management Plan
Consultant must submit a Draft and Final Project Management Plan that includes a calendar of meetings, workshops, and deliverables. This calendar will be tabular and include the name, date, required attendees, and decisions to be made at each workshop; and the subtask, deliverable name, draft due date, comment due date, final due date, and goal of each technical memoranda (TM).
