CORPS GRANT CONCEPT -
FINAL FOR COUNCIL- V2
BACKGROUND:
The Creative Corps Grant is a program of the California Arts Institute that is targeted at disadvantaged communities designed to increase 1) public awareness related to water and energy conservation, climate mitigation, and emergency preparedness, relief, and recovery; 2) civic engagement, including election participation; and 3) social justice and community engagement.
In particular, the PAAC is asking permission to pursue this grant to conduct the following example workshops that would be free to the public to attend:
1) A dance workshop for kids and their parents, with the idea of educating about climate change and its impact on the local environment
2) Creating arts projects from materials collected during cleanups within the City 3) Story telling workshops that would employ local writers and actors to share the City's history of native cultures, pioneers, and environmental diversity
4) A photography workshop that would culminate in a multimedia presentation at Freedom Plaza Workshops covering other subjects may be developed over time. Once the application has been completed, then a Resolution will be provided for City Council's approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not applicable Page 63 of 143
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose to decline the pursuance of the Common Corps grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
PAAC DRAFT CREATIVE CORPS GRANT CONCEPT
INTRODUCTION
When reviewing our draft proposal for the Creative Corps grant, please keep in mind that it is a work in progress. The framework is strong and details will be finalized once the budget and all concepts are thoroughly developed and reflect the state mandated messaging. Several of the Creative Corps topics were echoed by residents in the recent Social Justice and Equity workshops, in addition to the Listening Session sponsored by the PAAC and SB County Arts Connection: Public health; Water and energy conservation and climate mitigation; Civic engagement and election participation; Social Justice and Community Engagement.
WORK/SHOP 29 (WORKING TITLE, FINAL TITLE TBD)
Budget: $100,000
WORK/SHOP 29 is a program that will promote the wide ranging resources of Project Phoenix through a year-long series of approximately 8-10 free public workshops for 29 Palms residents.
The workshops will be led by professional artists in the fields of the visual, literary and performing arts who will be paired with local artists. The series will highlight the rich cultural, historical and environmental treasures of Twentynine Palms while also fulfilling the messaging requirements of the Creative Corps grant. Selected workshops will generate public performances or exhibitions, and the series as a whole will culminate in a City-wide celebration of the arts.
Our goal is for 29 Palms residents of all ages and backgrounds to engage, create and take pride in what they make in WORK/SHOP 29. 29 Palms residents can collaborate with working artists as well as learn a new art form or enhance existing skills and present their work publically.
Some workshops will be designed for families while others will be targeted to adults and / or children of different ages or underserved groups within our community. All supplies needed for the workshops will be provided free of charge.
Outreach:
- Partnership with local schools
- Outreach to local churches, military families, and other community organizations., - Community service announcements on Z107.7 and publicity in the Desert Trail and Hi Desert Star
- Dedicated social media and printed publicity
Outcomes:
- Promote the Arts as a cultural asset in Twentynine Palms - Encouraging more cultural tourism in Twentynine Palms - Fostering a meaningful connection between Project Phoenix and the community - Bringing arts programing to underserved and marginalized communities in Twentynine Palms
- Empowering local artists to become leaders in the community (Mentorship program) A few examples of potential workshops:
- A dance workshop for kids and their parents where dance moves are inspired by everyday movements such as brushing one’s hair, or a dog stretching. Our local flora and fauna will be the focus giving families the chance to learn about how climate change impacts native plants and endangered species. Dance moves would be accessible and inspired by the desert surroundings. Imagine kids mimicking a slow crawling desert tortoise, a soaring hawk or the unique stance of a Joshua Tree. Not only educational but fun!
- Organizations that help with environmental clean up in 29 would be inspired to participate and donate any collected materials to be recycled for an art building workshop, emphasizing the importance of full circle environmentalism. These materials might be utilized in more than one workshop - and could be incorporated into costume building, collaging, sculpture building, set design or prop building as well as into a sound and music making workshop. The sound workshop could be recorded and used as the base of a live performance featuring residents from this set of workshops. - Local writers and actors lead storytelling workshop that shares 29 Palms’ rich history of native cultures, entrepreneurs, environmental diversity and challenges as well as the evolution of what we’ve become today. Encourage participants to write about their experiences living in 29 as well as envision the possibilities of what the future may hold. - The Big Snap 29 workshop will highlight and celebrate the City of Twentynine Palms’ diverse and dynamic people through portraits of and by its residents. We all snap pictures of ourselves and other people, but what distinguishes a quick family snapshot from a portrait that strangers also respond to? To enhance knowledge, we’ll draw on local expertise to teach how to take excellent photographic portraits. Participants will take photographs of friends, family, coworkers, strangers (with permission) – all people who live, work, or study in Twentynine Palms. This workshop culminates in a multimedia
presentation at Freedom Plaza. Local musicians will perform and photographers and subjects will be recognized for their contributions.
STAFF REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
FOR MEETING: Mar 14 2023
SUBJECT: Augmentation to the Sheriff's Contract to add a Deputy RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending the City Council authorize the amended Schedule A agreement for fiscal 22/23 with San Bernardino County Sheriff Department for an additional detective in furtherance of the Council's strategic priorities.
ORDER OF PROCEDURE:

Council Questions of Staff
Request Public Comment
Council Discussion
Motion/Second
Call the Question
ATTACHMENTS:
• Amended Schedule A (Sheriff
Contract) 3rd amendment
• Amended Schedule A (Sheriff
Contract) 2nd amendment
BACKGROUND:
During the biennial Strategic Planning Session, it was discussed by our Sheriff's Captain that the caseload of our single detective is exceeding the amount that one person can handle, and the results of that are delayed investigations. So with that, and given the Council's Public Safety priority, they gave direction to augment our Sheriff's Contract (Schedule A) to include a second deputy.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES:
Not Approve this amendment
FISCAL IMPACT:
This potentially has a $117,290 impact to the Fiscal 22/23 budget IF a detective is promoted by April 1st and could be lower if thereafter. This can be absorbed within the current year fiscal surplus.

BACKGROUND:
Wastewater generated in the City of Twentynine Palms is generally treated utilizing individual on-site septic tanks with leach fields or seepage pits. As population growth continues and more lands are urbanized, water usage, and therefore, septic loading within the City is anticipated to increase. Given that groundwater is currently the area’s only source of water supply, understanding the potential effects of growth on water use and sewer loadings to the groundwater is very important. Based on the previous plans developed, it was shown that the creation of a regional wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment facility will ensure the City’s residents are equipped with lasting, sustainable, basic infrastructure, while also removing a barrier for future growth within the City.
The City received State grant funding for the preparation of a feasibility study, preliminary design, environmental study, and financial analysis for a regional wastewater collection system (not including a wastewater treatment facility). The City has retained NV5 to prepare the feasibility and preliminary design of the collection system, and Terra Nova to prepare the environmental document. In addition, the City has partnered with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to study the City’s groundwater and impacts of septic tanks The City intends to further pursue available State funding resources for the planning and design of the WWTF, and construction of both the regional collection system and treatment facility. In November 2022, a $350 million State grant to fund septic to sewer conversions for Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) will open with applications accepted through March. If successful, construction must commence in 2024 and be completed by December 2026. The purpose of this Page 75 of 143 scope of work is to provide professional engineering services to support the further pursuit of additional grant funding, provide preliminary planning, and high-level analysis of a future City Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), and develop up to 30% design level plans and bridging documents to support the procurement of a design builder (it is anticipated that they WWTF will be procured using a design-build delivery).
The City released a SOQ (Statement of Qualifications) to retain a professional engineering firm, specializing in Wastewater, to help guide the project. The SOQ closed in May with three SOQs submitted. The reviewers were Frank J. Luckino (City Manager), Matt Shragge (General Manager at Twentynine Palms Water District), Mike Podegracz (Engineer with Charles Abbott and Associates), and Ed Muzik (Retired General Manager from HiDesert Water District). The Committee selected Carollo Engineers.
Carollo Engineers for 85 years supported the planning, design, construction, and startup of wastewater treatment plants across the country, regardless of size, type, or purpose. They are committed to unparalleled experience and knowledge to meet each organization and community's unique wastewater needs now and into the future.
Carollo offers comprehensive process expertise in both conventional and emerging technologies with an unwavering focus on excellence in facilities planning and design.
Carollo Engineers is currently working with the City on the owners representative for the project. As owners representative, they serve as an extension of staff for their expertise on planning and development of the overall project. In addition, they are working on the scope of the project, technical studies, and grant submission to State Water. This new task will design the treatment up to approximately 15% design and create the bridging documents that will be used for the procurement of the Design Build Team.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Not for this task, however the Environmental Analysis is underway.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose to deny, change, or adjust the scope.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The task will be paid by the County ARPA Funding that was awarded to the City.

Subject: Statement of Qualifications to Provide Engineering Services for Wastewater Treatment Facility 30% Engineering and Design Services Dear Mr. Luckino:
The City of Twentynine Palms (City) has taken on a visionary program to address the long-term potential impacts of the continued use of septic systems on groundwater quality and the economic viability of the City. A program has been identified to convert the City from individual septic systems to a “centralized” collection and treatment system. The implementation of such a program would be a “game changer” for the City’s future and provide lasting and sustainable infrastructure for many generations.
However, the implementation of such a program is expensive and not easy, particularly for a disadvantaged community like Twentynine Palms. It will require significant outside funding assistance, strategic community outreach, and unwavering political will to make it happen. It will also require a consultant partner who has successfully completed similar projects (particularly in the High Desert region) to provide guidance for how to most efficiently, and cost effectively, implement the project…Carollo is that consultant partner.
Based on our discussions with the City, and our experience on similar projects in disadvantaged communities (Los Osos and Yucca Valley), we have developed a theme for your project that we have embraced as our rally call in helping deliver your program. That theme is:
“Focus on the Grant…Then Build the Plant”
What we mean by this is that the future of the septic-to-sewer conversion program will rely on the City’s ability to receive significant funding assistance…potentially up to 70-80% of the total project costs (on a $100M+ project). As such, we will focus our initial energy in this phase of the project on developing a centralized wastewater system Feasibility Study that supports the upcoming State grant application in a way that is most compelling for the State to recognize the multiple benefits it provides to the community. Once a grant is awarded, we can set our sights on assisting the City in procuring a Design-Build team(s) to begin bringing this program to fruition.
You will read in our proposal about three significant characteristics of the Carollo team that differentiate us from other firms and makes us the “right fit” to work with the City on this project. Those characteristics are:
1. Unmatched Project Experience – The Carollo team brings relevant High Desert regional septic-to-sewer project experience, industry-leading WWTF design experience (for both traditional and alternative delivery procurements), and funding assistance knowledge invaluable to the City.

2. Cohesive Project Team – Key members of this team has worked on septic-to-sewer projects, and have worked together on those projects. This is a team that knows these projects, the High Desert region, and how to perform WWTF designs; this will result in an efficient and cohesive project delivery for the City.
3. Focused Approach – We have listened to your concerns regarding the limited resources of a disadvantaged community and have suggestions for a streamlined project approach that will prioritize the most important tasks to maximize your opportunity for a grant award.
Focused Approach
Knowing the priorities for the State grant application, we have identified a number of “focused-approach” suggestions to maximize your efficiency in this phase of work for your consideration. These suggestions include:
We look forward to working closely with the City and its consultants to make this visionary program a reality. It is not often one gets the opportunity to immediately leverage its experience on a significant, similar project as we have here with the HDWD project and the City’s project. That experience plus our Los Osos experience, our collaborative and design savvy team, and our grant-focused approach will bring significant benefits to the City.
We look forward to further discussing our qualifications for working with you to make this project a reality. In the meantime, if there is anything else you need, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
CAROLLO ENGINEERS, INC.
Louis J. Carella Andrew Frost
Principal-in-Charge Project Manager
Maintain a lean, but experienced project team.
Utilize as much of the HDWD WWTF design concepts as possible (there are many benefits to considering a WWTF similar to HDWD, including streamlining the design and potentially sharing of operations staff in the future) Focus on the “required” grant technical elements and potentially deferring tasks such as the geotechnical investigation and detailed survey until after the grant has been awarded. Consider project phasing scenarios to maintain project “affordability” (it will still be expensive even with grants). Utilize previous successfully applied bridging documents for the City’s Design-Build procurement. Take advantage of our collection system design experience to potentially value engineer the NV5 collection system design (or at the very least maximize the efficiency of the integration of the two designs). Assist the City in anticipating community concerns for the cost and future construction disruptions of the project (staying out in front of the community concerns saves dollars at every phase of the project). Commit to the September 29, 2022 Feasibility Study completion date (14 weeks from NTP) to put the City at the front of the line with its November 1, 2022 State grant application.

\\Io-bd-1\bd-data\Marketing\Pursuits\Client21(SDO)\TwentyninePalms\WWTF30EngDesign\Qual0522\Indd\01-Project Understanding-Approach | The City of Twentynine Palms is a gateway to Joshua Tree National Park.
1 Project Understanding / Approach
The City of Twentynine Palms is a growing community serving as a gateway to the Joshua Tree National Park and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms Marine Base.
Currently, the City relies on groundwater for its potable water supply, and individual septic tanks for the majority of its wastewater disposal. As the City has continued
to grow and expand, its current process of treating
wastewater using individual septic tanks poses a threat to the overall growth of the City and potential detriment to the vital groundwater in the region. For this reason, the City is undertaking the formation of critical sewer infrastructure to include a new sewer collection system and centralized Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF).
A centralized sewer system will remove a main barrier for continued growth in the City while providing long term
protection for the groundwater supply that will be vital for servicing the expanded growth.
This program is a large undertaking for the City, and it is important that the right resources are focused in the right areas to maximize the City’s opportunity to achieve the highest funding levels available and to lower the cost to the residents of Twentynine Palms. Achieving this goal
will require a consultant partner who has successfully
implemented similarly complex centralized sewer
projects in the past. Carollo is that consultant. Carollo has direct recent relevant experience in the High Desert region, and is an industry leader in planning, design,
program management, and funding of wastewater
treatment systems. Based on our discussions with City
staff the City has identified three primary goals for this phase of the project: 1) Secure the maximum funding level possible, 2) Produce an engineer's report and technical documents required to support the funding submittal,
and 3) Develop 30% plans and bridging documents for
a Design-Build procurement.
FOCUS ON THE GRANT, TO PAVE
THE WAY FOR THE PLANT
Securing additional grant funding is the number one
priority for this next phase of the project. The SRF
funding process for small, disadvantaged communities
operates on a rolling first come, first served basis, so it is important to submit a competitive application as quickly as possible. Carollo understands the requirements for this grant submittal and can work directly with the City and its consultants to provide the appropriate level of general, technical, environmental, and financial information to
set the grant submittal up for a successful application.
Carollo’s support to the City will consist of developing the right information in the Feasibility Study to yield an early, focused successful application. Our grant specialist Seema Chavan has done this dozens of times and
secured over $800 million in funding for similar projects, including the Hi-Desert Collection System. We have
been through this process before and know the correct
questions to ask and technical information to provide.
The grant application will consist of four total components – general, technical, environmental, and financial
packages. Each package will focus on a different
// PROJECT UNDERSTANDING / APPROACH
CITY OF TWENTYNINE PALMS // WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY 30% ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES CAROLLO // QUALIFICATIONS // MAY 2022
\\Io-bd-1\bd-data\Marketing\Pursuits\Client21(SDO)\TwentyninePalms\WWTF30EngDesign\Qual0522\Indd\01-Project Understanding-Approach 2 key element of the City’s project and provide certain information for the agencies to understand and approve
the project. Each package is an important piece of
a complete grant application; however, they do not need to be submitted together. The first and most critical piece to submit is the general application. We know the City
has already been in contact with the funding agencies,
but submittal of the general application will kickoff the overall funding process and get the City to the front of the queue. Basic information regarding the overall project, collection system, and treatment plant must be submitted with the general application, and Carollo can immediately begin to help the City identify this information. On
the next page, we have outlined a project workflow
diagram, that outlines how we think the City can progress through the initial project phases to submit a complete, competitive application quickly and move onto future
project phases once project funding has been secured.
Step 1: Lay the Foundation of your WWTF
Carollo will begin by reviewing and building off of work already performed by the City's current consultant
teams. The existing sewer master plan, Salt and Nutrient Management Plan, and feasibility study will be important building blocks for the future system. As Carollo
moves forward, we have identified five key decisions
surrounding the WWTF, the results of which will lay the foundation for a successful project.
Carollo can help the City answer these questions by
quickly outlining pros and cons of different site locations, treatment methods, and disposal options. We can provide direct examples from past clients and WWTFs on how
they have handled these issues, and work with the City
and the Twentynine Palms Water District to determine
the best options for your project. These decisions will be facilitated by workshop type meetings. These workshops
will allow Carollo to put our technical experts front and center with project stakeholders and decision makers to review information and options in real time. This will allow the City and the project team to make the right
decisions quickly, facilitating the prompt submittal of a grant package.
Step 2: Present the Foundation and
Document the Plans
Once the City has made the key decisions required in the initial planning stage, work can begin in earnest on the technical documents required for the grant application
package. This work will be critical to support the
Technical Package requirement of the grant application, and Carollo will combine information from the past master plan, feasibility study, and Step 1 to form a comprehensive feasibility study that meets the requirements of the
grant application package. This report will focus on the key components of the grant application project report
format, while leaving other non-requested details for later (as appropriate). The planned feasibility study will include:
Five Key Decisions for the WWTF
Confirming flow and loading - How big is the plant?
Site selection - Where does the plant go?
Process selection - How does the City treat the flow?
Disposal options - What to do with remaining water?
Solids handling - What to do with remaining solids?
Feasibility Study Outline
Project Area – Vicinity, land use,
population, etc.
Wastewater Characteristics and Water
Quality – Sources of flow, influent

\\Io-bd-1\bd-data\Marketing\Pursuits\Client21(SDO)\TwentyninePalms\WWTF30EngDesign\Qual0522\Indd\01-Project Understanding-Approach 3 As the system needs develop and more clarity is brought to the desired process and function of the future facilities, Carollo will outline the requirements for the WWTF
in a Project Technical Requirements document. This
document will be provided to the DB teams during the
procurement process along with the 30% design plans
to document the City's requirements for the facilities and the goals of the project. An example of the sections and detail in the project technical requirements document is shown below.

Step 3: Build the Plant
After the State grant application is submitted, Carollo can begin work on the formal 30% design and bridging
documents. These documents will be used in the
procurement process to select a Design Builder who
will complete the design and construction of the WWTF.
This is a task Carollo has extensive experience
completing, having just done similar work for Hi-Desert Water District in Yucca Valley and the County of San Luis Obispo in Los Osos. We understand the level of detail
that needs to go into a 30% design that will provide
sufficient detail so the City gets the WWTF they want
while providing leeway to the DB team where
appropriate to keep prices competitive.
Through the process to complete the 30% design and
bridging documents, Carollo experts in WWTF design
and DB procurement will work with the City to identify
preliminary information on the future facilities and
contracting details. Much like the initial design stages, Carollo will provide past examples of solutions and setups that have worked well for previous clients and facilities.
Carollo can facilitate tours of neighboring systems, like Hi-Desert or Victor Valley, to show the City staff first hand the process and O & M that will come with your new
WWTF. Where appropriate, we can model the City's new
WWTF after these existing facilities to provide synergies for O & M such as staff training, chemical usage,
spare parts, etc.
While the City has been clear that
the WWTF will be delivered in a
design-build approach, it would be
worth having a conversation about
whether this would be a Progressive
Design-Build procurement (more
control but less early cost certainty)
vs. Fixed Price Design-Build
procurement (less control but
early cost certainty).

Carollo’s Relevant Experience
in California
CASE STUDY:
The Hi-Desert Water District is a special district formed by the community to oversee water service in Yucca Valley, the unincorporated section of San Bernardino County,
and Yucca Mesa.
Carollo served as the Hi-Desert Water District’s owner’s representative and project manager for a $150 million septic to sewer conversion project. The scope of the project included 77 miles of collection system piping, three lift stations, and a
1.6 mgd wastewater reclamation.
Carollo’s responsibilities included serving as an extension of District project management staff, working closely with both District staff and the District’s consultant(s) to deliver a quality project. We were the “technical eyes and ears” of the District to deliver 1) a technically sound design, 2) compliance with the contract requirements, 3) coordination with other related District activities/ projects, and 4) communication of project progress.
Carollo helped the District secure over $140 million of SRF funding for construction of the new wastewater reclamation facility, lift stations, and collection system to augment grant funding for the project.

The mechanical equipment is housed in a below-grade room that sits adjacent to the cistern. The electrical equipment is located above grade within a block wall enclosure adjacent to the pump room. The pump station contains five frame-mounted end-suction pumps and motors. Each pump has a design flow of 600 gallons per minute (gpm), total dynamic head (TDH) = 200 feet, 50 horsepower (HP) motor that operate with variable frequency drives to maintain a fixed downstream pressure, as measured by a pressure transmitter located on the discharge header. Pumps P-1 through P-3 are designated as duty, and Pumps P-4 and P-5 are designated as standby. The PLC will alternate each pump's status after each use. The standby pumps will be called to operate only if the duty pumps cannot maintain system pressure. The electrical installation uses forced air ventilation variable frequency drives, eliminating the requirement for an air conditioning unit.
