SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF VERNON AND PACIFIC ADVANCED CIVIL ENGINEERING, INC. (PACE) FOR SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND

DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES
This Agreement is made between the City of Vernon, a California charter City and California municipal corporation (“City”), and Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering, Inc. (PACE), a California corporation (“Contractor”).

The City and Contractor agree as follows:

1.0 EMPLOYMENT OF CONTRACTOR. City agrees to engage Contractor to perform the services as hereinafter set forth as authorized by the City Council on March 4, 2025.

2.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES.

2.1 Contractor shall perform all work necessary to complete the services set forth in the City’s Request for Proposals issued on or about October 2, 2024, and titled RFP for Source Water Quality Assessment and Design of Treatment Facilities, and Contractor's proposal to the City ("Proposal") dated October 28, 2024, Exhibit “A”, a copy which is attached to and incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

2.2 All services shall be performed to the satisfaction of City.

2.3 All services shall be performed in a competent, professional, and satisfactory manner in accordance with the prevailing industry standards for such services.

3.0 PERSONNEL.

3.1 Contractor represents that it employs, or will employ, at its own expense, all personnel required to perform the services under this Agreement.

3.2 Contractor shall not subcontract any services to be performed by it under this Agreement without prior written approval of City.

3.3 All of the services required hereunder will be performed by Contractor or by City approved subcontractors. Contractor, and all personnel engaged in the work, shall be fully qualified and authorized or permitted under State and local law to perform such services and shall be subject to approval by the City.

5.0 COMPENSATION AND FEES.

5.1 Contractor has established rates for the City of Vernon which are comparable to and do not exceed the best rates offered to other governmental entities in and

around Los Angeles County for the same services. For satisfactory and timely performance of the services, the City will pay Contractor in accordance with the payment schedule set forth in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

5.2 Contractor's grand total compensation for the entire term of this Agreement, shall not exceed $716,040 without the prior authorization of the City, as appropriate, and written amendment of this Agreement.

5.3 Contractor shall, at its sole cost and expense, furnish all necessary and incidental labor, material, supplies, facilities, equipment, and transportation which may be required for furnishing services pursuant to this Agreement. Materials shall be of the highest quality. The above Agreement fee shall include all staff time and all clerical, administrative, overhead, insurance, reproduction, telephone, air travel, auto rental, subsistence, and all related costs and expenses.

5.4 City shall reimburse Contractor only for those costs or expenses specifically approved in this Agreement, or specifically approved in writing in advance by City.

Unless otherwise approved, such costs shall be limited and include nothing more than the following costs incurred by Contractor:

6.1 As scheduled services are completed, Contractor shall submit to the City an invoice for the services completed, authorized expenses, and authorized extra work actually performed or incurred according to said schedule.

6.2 Each such invoice shall state the basis for the amount invoiced, including a detailed description of the services completed, the number of hours spent, reimbursable expenses incurred and any extra work performed.

6.3 Contractor shall also submit a progress report with each invoice that describes in reasonable detail the services and the extra work, if any, performed in the immediately preceding calendar month.

6.4 Contractor understands and agrees that invoices which lack sufficient detail to measure performance will be returned and not processed for payment.

claims or liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officers, elected officials, agents or employees.

10.0 INSURANCE. Contractor shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property that may arise from or in connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Contractor, its agents, representative, or employees. The policies shall state that they afford primary coverage.

10.1 Automobile Liability Insurance – Primary insurance coverage shall be written on ISO Business Auto coverage form for all owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles or any auto.

The policy shall have a combined single limit of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000). If Contractor is transporting one or more non-employee passengers in the performance of the services, the automobile liability policy shall have a combined single limit of two million dollars ($2,000,000). If Contractor owns no autos, a hired, non-owned auto endorsement to the General Liability policy is acceptable.

10.1.1 Contractor agrees to subrogate automobile liability resulting from performance under this agreement by agreeing to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, the City, and its respective employees, agents, and City Council from and against all claims, liabilities, suits, losses, damages, injuries and expenses, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees (“Claims”), which are attributable to any act or omission by the Contractor under the performance of the services. The City of Vernon, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers must be endorsed on the policy as additional insureds and, under the Contractors’ policy, there shall be a waiver of subrogation, and the policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the City’s insurance.

10.2 Commercial General Liability Insurance – Contractor shall carry General Liability Insurance covering all operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor providing coverage for bodily injury and property damage with a single limit of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate limit written on an Insurance Services Office (ISO) Comprehensive General Liability "occurrence" Form CG 00 01 or its equivalent for coverage on an occurrence basis. The City of Vernon, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers must be endorsed on the policy as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of the Contractor's performance of this Agreement. The additional insured coverage under the Contractor’s policy shall be

primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the City’s insurance. The policy shall be endorsed to include a waiver of subrogation.

10.2.1 If Contractor intends to employ other contractors as part of the services rendered, the City must approve and will establish the appropriate insurance requirements.

10.2.2 Contractor agrees to subrogate General Liability resulting from performance under this agreement by agreeing to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless, the City, and its respective employees, agents, and City Council from and against all claims, liabilities, suits, losses, damages, injuries and expenses, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees (“Claims”), which are attributable to any act or omission by the Contractor under the performance of the services.

10.3 Professional Errors and Omissions Coverage in a sum of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), where such risk is applicable. Applicable aggregate must be identified and claims history provided to determine amounts remaining under the aggregates.

Contractor shall maintain such coverage for at least one (1) year after the termination of this agreement.

10.4 Umbrella Liability Insurance – An umbrella (over primary) may be used to comply with limits or other primary coverage requirements. When used, the umbrella policy shall apply to bodily injury/property damage and personal injury/advertising injury and shall include a “dropdown” provision providing primary coverage for any liability not covered by the primary policy. The umbrella policy shall have no additional exclusion or coverage difference from the primary policy. The coverage shall also apply to automobile liability.

10.5 Workers’ Compensation/Employers Liability - Contractor shall comply with the applicable sections of the California Labor Code concerning workers' compensation for injuries on the job. Compliance is accomplished in one of the following manners:

10.5.1 Provide a copy of the permissive self-insurance certificate approved by the State of California; or

10.5.2 Secure and maintain in force a policy of workers' compensation insurance with statutory limits and Employer's Liability Insurance with a limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per accident. The policy shall be endorsed to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from performance of this Agreement or

10.5.3 If Contractor has no employees, it may certify or warrant to the City that it does not currently have any employees or individuals who are defined as “employees” under the Labor Code, and the requirement for Workers’ Compensation coverage will be waived by completing the waiver form provided by the City.

10.6 If Contractor maintains broader coverage and/or higher limits than the minimums shown above, City requires and shall be entitled to the broader coverage and/or the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

10.7 Each insurance policy included in this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be cancelled except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to City.

10.8 Insurance shall be placed with insurers with an A.M. Best rating of no less than A-VIII. Any self-insured retention or deductible in excess of $25,000 must be approved in advance by the City. Any policies written on a claims-based basis must include a minimum of a 3-year tail.

10.9 Prior to the commencement of performance, Contractor shall furnish City with a certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to evidence coverage on its behalf. The certificate(s) must be in a form approved by City. City may require complete, certified copies of any or all policies upon request.

10.10 Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and material breach. In such event, Contractor shall immediately notify City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City. In the absence of satisfactory insurance coverage, City may, at its option: (a) procure insurance with collection rights for premiums, attorney's fees, and costs against Contractor by way of set-off or recoupment from sums due to Contractor, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement and seek damages from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure the risk, with all damages and costs incurred, by judgment, settlement or otherwise, including attorney's fees and costs, being collectible from Contractor, by way of set-off or recoupment from any sums due to Contractor.

Contractor shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the City and approval by the City Attorney, which may be withheld in the City's sole discretion. Any unauthorized assignment or transfer shall be null and void and shall constitute a material breach by the Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement. No assignment shall release the original parties from their obligations or otherwise constitute a novation.

11.9 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Contractor shall comply with all Federal, State, County and City laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, which are, as amended from time to time, incorporated herein and applicable to the performance hereof. Violation of any law material to performance of this Agreement shall entitle the City to terminate the Agreement and otherwise pursue its remedies.

COVER LETTER
Joanna,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide our proposal to the City of Vernon (City) in response to the Public Utilities Department (PUD) Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Source Water Quality Assessment and Design of Treatment Facilities Project (Project). We understand the City, which owns the Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) that offers both wet and dry utilities to its customers, desires to contract a consultant with expertise in potable water wells to ensure a successful well water quality assessment and design up to two treatment facility systems to remove/reduce manganese, with the possibility to also remove/reduce iron and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). The City is open to seeking a creative approach to meet the Project objectives, which may or may not include “blending” to meet water quality parameters.

As a highly specialized water engineering company, PACE proposes to support the City by developing a thoughtful assessment and design approach that can meet the Project objectives, minimize liabilities to stakeholders, evaluate alternatives at a high-level master plan perspective, reduce impacts and costs, provide the greatest level of operational flexibility, address challenges, and consider future improvement projects.

We understand from the Water System Schematic Diagram in the RFP Exhibit C that the water system consists of seven active wells, one other (No. 14 as Standby), a 10-million-gallon (MG) reservoir, six 1 MG tanks, a 0.6 MG elevated storage tank, three booster pump stations, and one MWD import connection. According to the City’s website, the water system also consists of 49 miles of transmission and distribution mains. Currently, the City believes manganese is the primary concern, as historical water quality data indicates that all seven wells either have elevated concentration levels or have exceeded the Secondary Drinking Water Standard limit of 0.05 milligrams per liter (mg/L). However, there are also elevated levels of iron in at least three wells (Nos. 12, 19, and 22), and PFOS levels are near the federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) at one well (No. 20).

PACE is familiar with the City’s water system infrastructure and current water quality concerns, as we helped evaluate and design the City’s newest and largest producing well, Well No. 22, located on 50th Street. This newest City water well sits on a very small and narrow footprint. According to the Final Well Design Memorandum by Richard C. Slade & Associates dated January 7, 2020, the well has six different aquifer zones. Four of the six zones exceed the iron Secondary Limit of

0.3 mg/L, and three of the six zones exceed the manganese Secondary Limit of 0.05 mg/L. The City should anticipate construction costs alone for the treatment system at each well to range from $4M to $5M.

SOME OF OUR PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS AND APPROACHES, WHICH ARE ALSO FURTHER ADDRESSED IN OUR PROPOSAL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, INCLUDE:

Our recent experience has shown that more and more active groundwater wells will eventually detect PFAS such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as they continue to “pull and extract” contaminants at the wellhead.

Therefore, for wells undergoing future manganese and iron removal, PACE recommends the City consider “available space planning” to accommodate future PFAS treatment improvements when PFAS becomes detectable at such wells.

COVER LETTER
• Well No. 20 (1,100 gpm) is located on the furthest east end of the City and is the only well out of the seven active wells that has detected PFOA. However, three of the other wells (No. 15: 1,150 gpm, No. 17: 1,200 gpm, and No. 19: 1,050 gpm) are located less than 1 mile away from Well No. 20 and pump groundwater from the same aquifer. • The PACE team is interpreting the approach described in the RFP as to first perform water quality assessment of all seven active water wells. However, the RFP also shows the City has pre-determined that design of treatment systems at the City’s newest Well No. 22, and at Well No. 20 that has PFOA, will be needed. PACE believes it is also important to obtain other pertinent data, such as the age of the well, historical production performance degradation, historical changes in water quality, and the anticipated useful life of the well casing. For example, if a well does have water quality concerns with manganese, iron, and PFOA, and the metal well casing appears to have additional useful life remaining but has seen a dramatic reduction in water production, that well should have a lower priority ranking from the perspective of return on investment (ROI) from investing in a treatment system at this well site. The City’s Well No. 22, which may also have elevated levels of manganese and iron, being the newest well in operation with a high production flow rate capacity, could have the highest probability of being the City’s highest priority ranking well from the perspective of both useful life and production performance.
• Although the current City scope of work does not include water well production performance evaluation or field testing to evaluate such performance, the PACE team can offer an optional task for up to two well sites through our subconsultant to perform “zone isolation and testing with depth-specific water quality sampling” using a low concentration of an NSF 61 approved tracer, which could also be done without “pulling the pump.” No water will be wasted, and there will be no noise impacts from portable pumps or the need for temporary space to house Baker Tanks.

This method was recently used by BESST on a project in San Diego and was approved by the Division of Drinking Water (DDW). This test will provide valuable insight to the team to determine if contaminants can be isolated through “packers” and if the well is still producing at or near its original design capacity. • Typically, the treatment of manganese and iron consists of pre-oxidization with chlorine, followed by pressure vessel treatment using Greensand as the treatment media. The treatment of PFAS/PFOA is typically achieved with pressure vessels (with pre-filters) filled with ion exchange (IX) media or granular activated carbon (GAC) without any chlorine.

Therefore, dichlorination and a contact time chamber are necessary additional treatment steps in between the above treatment components. Since the design of this system is complex with different undesired constituents, before designing a full-scale system, PACE recommends performing an optional task consisting of a cost-effective, small-scale pilot to meet the City’s needs. The benefits of conducting this optional pilot testing are:
» “De-risk” the Project by validating the proposed treatment process using the selected Greensand and IX media. » Identify the worst-case scenario in backwash frequency and the level of anticipated back-pressure buildup with the Greensand and IX media.
» Optimize the chlorine dosage based on actual anticipated water quality and concentration of iron and manganese. » Optimize the dichlorination (sodium bisulfite) dosage based on the amount of residual chlorine. » Validate the effectiveness of the selected IX media in removing PFAS.

Our anticipated subconsultants for this Project are:

INTRODUCTION // 1
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES The Request for Proposal (RFP) from the City of Vernon (City) Public Utilities Department (PUD) is for the Source Water Quality Assessment and Design of Treatment Facilities Project (Project). According to Exhibit C in the RFP, Water System Schematic Diagram, the water system consists of seven active wells, one other (No. 14 as Standby), a 10 million gallon (MG) reservoir, six 1 MG tanks, a 0.6 MG elevated storage tank, three booster pump stations, and one MWD import connection. According to the City’s website, the water system also consists of 49 miles of transmission and distribution mains. Currently, the City believes manganese is the primary concern, as historical water quality data indicated all seven wells have either elevated concentration levels or have exceeded the Secondary Drinking Water Standard limit of 0.05 mg/L. However, there are also elevated levels of iron in at least three wells, and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) levels are near the federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) at one well (No. 20).

PACE is familiar with the City’s water system infrastructure and current water quality concerns as we helped evaluate and design the City’s newest and largest producing well, Well No. 22, located on 50th Street. This newest City water well sits on a very small and narrow footprint. According to the January 7, 2020, Final Well Design Memorandum by Richard C. Slade & Associates, the well has six different aquifer zones. 4 of the six zones exceed the iron Secondary Limit of 0.3 mg/L, and 3 of the six zones exceed the manganese Secondary Limit of 0.05 mg/L. The City should anticipate construction costs alone for the treatment system at each well to range from $4M to $5M.
 Well No. 20 (1,100 gpm) is located on the furthest easterly end of the City limit and is the only well out of the total of seven active wells that currently detected PFOA. However, three of the other wells (No. 15 – 1,150 gpm, No. 17 – 1,200 gpm, and No. 19 – 1,050 gpm) are located only less than 1 mile away from Well No. 20, which pumps groundwater from the same aquifer.  The PACE team is interpreting the approach described in the RFP which is first perform water quality of all seven active water wells.

However, the RFP showed the City has pre-determined to require the design of the treatment system at the City’s newest Water Well No. 22, and at Water Well No. 20 that has PFOA. PACE believes it is also important to obtain other pertinent data, such as the age of the well, historical production performance degradation, historical changes in water quality, and the anticipated useful life of the well casing. For example, if a well does have water quality concerns with manganese, iron, and PFOA, and the metal well casing appears to have additional useful life remaining but has seen a dramatic reduction in water production, it should have a low priority ranking from the perspective of return on investment (ROI) from investing in a treatment system at this well site. On the contrary, the City’s Well No. 22, which may also have elevated levels of manganese and iron, being the newest well in operation with a high production flow rate capacity, could have the highest probability of being the City’s highest priority ranking well from the perspective of both useful life and production performance.

Preliminary Site
Observations

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The PACE team reviewed the RFP, lessons learned from past and other current projects, knowledge learned when PACE designed the City’s most recent Well No. 22 (~2,100 gpm design pump capacity), and developed a list of preliminary observations that are noteworthy for consideration:
 PACE is designing multiple treatment systems for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFOS) for the Orange County Water District (OCWD) using ion exchange (IX) media.

Our recent experience has shown that more and more active groundwater wells will eventually detect PFAS such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as they continue to “pull and extract” water at the wellhead. Therefore, for wells undergoing future manganese and iron removal, PACE recommends the City consider “available space planning” to accommodate future PFAS treatment improvements when PFAS becomes detectable at such wells.

INTRODUCTION // 2
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES  The treatment media to remove manganese and iron will differ from those required to remove PFAS/PFOA, thereby requiring a larger footprint to house different treatment trains. For example, although PACE did allocate the southern portion of the Well No. 22 (2,100 gpm) site for future pressure vessels to treat manganese and iron, the existing space is likely insufficient to also treat PFAS/PFOA if that were to occur in the future. On the other hand. The Well No. 20 is significantly larger than that of Well No. 22, with half the well pumping capacity. Therefore, that site should have sufficient available space to house all the proposed treatment improvements. PACE prepared a concept layout for both sites (see Appendix 1). Our intention is not to present these concepts as the only design solutions for consideration but instead as a platform to develop and refine concepts that best meet the City’s objectives.  Typically, the treatment of manganese and iron consists of pre-oxidization with Chlorine, followed by pressure vessel treatment using Greensand as the treatment media. The treatment of PFAS/PFOA is typically achieved with pressure vessels (with pre-filters) filled with ion exchange (IX) media or granular activated carbon (GAC) without any Chlorine. Therefore, dichlorination and a contact time chamber are necessary additional treatment steps in between the above treatment components. Since the design of this system is complex with different undesired constituents, before designing a full-scale system, PACE recommends performing an optional task consisting of a cost-effective, small-scale pilot to meet the City’s needs. The results and benefits from this optional pilot testing task are:
» “De-risk” the Project by validating the proposed treatment process using the selected Greensand and IX media. » Identify the worst-case scenario in backwash frequency and the level of anticipated back-pressure build-up with the Greensand and IX media. » Optimize the Chlorine dosage based on actual anticipated water quality and concentration of iron and manganese. » Optimize the dichlorination (Sodium Bisulfite) dosage based on the amount of residual Chlorine » Validate the effectiveness of the selected IX media in removing PFAS.  PFAS/PFOA treatment is heavily leaning toward using IX instead of GAC, with this trend established by OCWD through their independent past pilot study. One of the main reasons is the Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) requirement, which favors IX. The EBCT for IX is 3 minutes, while the EBCT for GAC is 10 minutes, more than three times as long. The larger the EBCT, the larger the pressure vessel and the greater the volume of treatment media, which drives up costs.  Based on our experience from similar pressure vessel treatment projects on existing water well sites, claiming CEQA Exemption will suffice for environmental compliance. Therefore, an Initial Study is not typically necessary.

PROJECT APPROACH
Involve City O&M staff early and often in developing the Final Bid Documents.

The PACE team will utilize experience in the design, operation, and maintenance of water treatment and water wells to assist the City in determining an optimal well site treatment approach and the design evaluation strategy for the Project. PACE will meet with the City’s engineering team and the operations and maintenance (O&M) staff to understand and solidify the project objectives. PACE will study the existing conditions and compare newly acquired water quality data, available historical well performance and water quality data, as-built drawings, past rehabilitation efforts, overall system operation philosophy, available land for offsite treatment, etc., to better understand current challenges and to develop a viable and practical recommendation for the City’s consideration.

STRATEGY 01
PACE will provide a cohesive team of engineers and subconsultants with extensive experience to tackle APU’s project objectives.

PACE will meet challenges head-on by working with APU’s project manager to collaborate with others for this fast-track well assessment and rehabilitation project.

INTRODUCTION // 3
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES Perform the PACE-recommended optional task for the pilot test and study to validate the proposed treatment method and media.

PACE design objectives include “de-risking” the Project for the City. This treatment system is complex, and the treatment methods should be tested and validated before investing the fullscale capital costs into the Project. The portable PACE pilot skid has five “see-through” column pipes to house treatment media or other purposes. Each column can be set up to operate in parallel, in series, multi-series, etc. Precipitates accumulated on the surface of the Greensand filter media will be visible. There are both upstream and downstream sample ports for each column to allow maximum flexibility to identify testing points. PACE is proposing a 2-week pilot testing period for a site and up to 2 sites. Column #1 will house Greensand media. Column #2 will function as a dechlorination chamber and pre-filtering. Column #3 will house IX media.

Columns #4 and #5 will house Greensand media, but will have different flow (flux) rates. The pilot system will be able to inject Chlorine to oxidize iron and manganese and separately inject Sodium Bisulfite to dechlorinate before the effluent is allowed to enter the IX media column.

STRATEGY 02
Analyze the well production impact from the “build-up”
of backwater pressure from the treatment media and
precipitates.

Pressure treatment vessels filled with media and pre-filter devices will create backwater pressure, reducing the normal pumping capacity the City is accustomed to. Furthermore, using Greensand to remove iron and manganese will routinely fluctuate in additional backwater pressure between when the vessels are cleaned from backwashing cycles and when the vessels are considered “semi-clogging” from the buildup of precipitates. PACE will need the pump curves and historical flow and pressure SCADA data of all active water wells to analyze such potential production impact and can offer operation suggestions accordingly. It is important to note the greater flow rate (flux) into the treatment system, the quicker it will want to clog and increase the backwater pressure, which will determine the frequency when the Greensand vessels will need backwashing.

STRATEGY 03
Backwash Greensand filter vessels will be relatively frequent and should of be automated to reduce impacts to water
operators.

The Greensand treatment media will require routine backwashing. From PACE’s experience with past clients, operators want an automated system with electrically actuated valves as much as possible, thereby minimizing the impact on their hectic responsibilities to maintain a water system. Since PACE can perform programming the control process and construct the control panel for automation, the City may later elect to hire PACE to perform these functions, which are typically done through the contractor, to reduce delay from this relatively long lead-time item for additional compensation.

Perform an optional access survey to confirm that the mini video camera assessment, along with PACE’s other proposed optional tests and sampling, can be performed without “pulling the pump.”
Since water wells typically will have at least a 2-inch diameter camera port, PACE’s subconsultant, as an optional task, can run a mini video camera to obtain valuable condition assessment information to help with deciding whether or not to invest capital improvement funds for a new treatment system for that specific well.

STRATEGY 04
STRATEGY 05
INTRODUCTION // 4
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES Perform the PACE-recommended optional task to obtain
current well performance and detail depth-specific water quality data.

PACE’s recommended optional task for “zone isolation and testing” is done through a zone testing method using a low concentration of an NSF 61 approved tracer, which could also be done without “pulling the pump.” An additional benefit is that no water will be wasted, and there will be no noise impacts from portable pumps or the need for temporary space to house Baker Tanks. At the same time, the PACE team, through the subconsultant can efficiently obtain valuable water samples to perform depth-specific water quality sampling. This method was recently used by BESST on a project in San Diego and was approved by the Division of Drinking Water (DDW). BESST would also perform this test. Since the number and type of tests have yet to be determined as an optional task, our confidential fee proposal will not have a fee estimate for this optional line item for laboratory testing. We can obtain a rate schedule from a laboratory that can perform such tests if requested by the City.

Being able to determine if the existing well can continue to produce water extraction at an acceptable level for a significant amount of time in the future and knowing the corresponding water quality to gauge what type of future treatment, if any, is necessary to utilize the well is the first decision step. If this optional well performance and depth-specific water quality assessment deem the well not viable anymore, the City can then reallocate available resources toward the other wells instead.

STRATEGY 06
Identify early on if existing well sites do not have sufficient open space for the new treatment system or if the City is open to a master plan approach consisting of a “centralized treatment system.”
If and when an existing well site does not have sufficient open space to house the new treatment system, it is a common practice to identify a nearby open space that can function as a “centralized treatment system (CTS).” Although the City’s current plan per the RFP is to treat two wells, water quality conditions can change, such that more wells may need treatment to meet demands. PACE is aware of multiple large Southern California water purveyors who have taken a CTS scalable design approach with properly sized collection headers to allow the seamless addition of treatment trains in the future.

For example, PACE created a separate future concept (see Appendix 1) to address a potential scenario where Well No. 22 detects PFOA. Around December 2020, PACE completed the design of a new 12-inch diameter Ductile Iron distribution line that replaced and abandoned the existing 10-inch diameter Cast Iron pipe from Well No. 22, which terminated easterly, nearly to S. Soto Street. While the recently abandoned pipe had to be replaced for being undersized to serve as a distribution pipe, it is adequately sized, and approximately 1,400 feet could be re-purposed / reactivated to function as a lower-pressure “well collection line” with approximately 2,350 feet of new well collection pipe toward the Well No. 15 and No. 19 well site that appears to have ample open space owned by the City. This same site also houses three 1-MG water storage tanks and a booster pump station. As mentioned previously, our intention is not to present this separate future concept as the only design solution for consideration but instead as a platform to develop and refine concepts that best meet the City’s objectives.

STRATEGY 07
Long lead time with pressure vessel vendors can negatively impact construction schedules and bids.

Pressure vessel manufacturers have been hectic meeting demand due to the influx of PFAS/ PFOA treatment projects. OCWD has been “pre-purchasing” vessels so that contractors building the improvements will not be impacted by this long lead time for this essential item. Allowing the design process to move in parallel with the pre-purchasing of vessels significantly reduces the overall construction schedule per well site, allowing water purveyors to reduce the risk of having their vital water wells shut down due to exceedance of the federal MCL. With Phase 3 of the RFP being Construction Management (CM), removing the added waiting period from this long lead time item during construction can also more likely reduce the overall construction duration, thereby reducing the cost to the City of having the CM on the Project.

STRATEGY 08
INTRODUCTION // 5
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES Use 3D modeling to visualize the completed installation and quickly identify potential construction and operational conflicts.

Pressure vessel treatment systems, especially when involving lead-lag vessels like those for PFAS/PFOA treatment, will have pipes crossing over and under one another, making it difficult to plan-check and QA/QC. Therefore, this initial design will be developed as a 3D model, allowing the City and PACE team to visualize the completed installation and quickly identify potential construction and operational conflicts. PACE will then generate traditional drawings for bid. Progress drawing sets will be submitted to the City based on 70%, 90%, and 100% submittal milestones, and the team will meet to review comments from staff at each milestone before delivering 100% final plans and specifications.

STRATEGY 09
Perform QA/QC for PACE projects, which is essential.

Collaboration among peers within the PACE organization, coupled with interaction with City staff and our subconsultants, will reduce the likelihood of design oversights while delivering a more thought-out project for the City. The QA/QC process to the PACE team is a “mindset” to continually deliver quality work and protect the City and PACE, not merely a required occasional task to fulfill a task order. Below is our exhibit showing the PACE’s Project Management and QA/QC approach.

STRATEGY 10
Project Management / QA/QC
The Project Manager coordinates all planning and design work with all subconsultants and staff. Regular meetings or teleconferences will be held with applicable Project Team members and consultants to coordinate engineering study and/or design issues. Meeting minutes will be kept and retained in project files.

In addition to the progress reports, an Action Items Matrix (AIM) will be prepared, updated monthly, and provided to APU. The AIM will identify actions to be accomplished, description of the activity, date for completion and lead person/party responsible for ensuring the action is completed.

SUBCONSULTANT MANAGEMENT
Agreements with our subconsultants will be followed by detailed task orders delineating the budget, schedule, and scope. These task orders will be monitored for progress and compliance. We will track the resources and the costs against the planned targets to ensure the resources are efficiently employed. Our working history with subconsultants and the skill of our subconsultant team provide the basis for a well-managed project delivery.

BUDGET CONTROL
Engineering costs will be controlled by frequent monitoring and early identification of any scope/design change affecting project costs. Construction cost estimates will be developed based on the preliminary design effort and using current costs for • Progress To-Date • List of Issues Which May Affect Project Schedule / Objectives
• Schedule Status
• Work Planned for Upcoming Month

CLIENT COORDINATION
The Project Manager will be the project’s primary source contact with the client on contracting matters. A Project Manager will be assigned to each project and will directly interface with the client as a primary contact.

All correspondence to the client, whether incoming or outgoing, will be through the Project Manager. The Project Manager will keep the client informed of the project progress on a monthly basis unless otherwise indicated in the work plan or contract work scope. The monthly progress reports will, at a minimum include:

INTRODUCTION // 6
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES construction materials and techniques based on our recent/current experience and costing indexes. The estimate will then be compared to the client’s budget expectations and if a gap is present, discussions will take place to determine if value engineering or other actions are necessary. Invoicing will follow client’s guidelines established at the start of each project. All invoices are reviewed by the Project Manager for accuracy and compliance prior to submittal to client.

WORK LOCATION
All PACE project management efforts will be coordinated out of our headquarter office in Fountain Valley, CA. Regular coordination meetings can occur at client’s offices, or using one of the many meeting and coordination resources we have available such as Teams or Zoom (video conferencing), which allow us to minimize budget for travel and meetings. However, pending public safety guidance, in-person meetings will be encouraged at critical project durations (kick-off, conclusion of conceptual design, final design submittals, public outreach / agency coordination meetings, etc.).

PROJECT SCHEDULING
PACE will use the MS Project scheduling system to continuously monitor project costs, labor, and progress. We will develop a conceptual milestone schedule based upon anticipated needs of the project and major task items. With each monthly progress report, PACE will submit an updated 4-week horizon schedule reflecting planned work. PACE will promptly notify the client of any changes in anticipated project progress and will submit an update detailed project schedule to the client.

QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM
Our team will provide the highest quality work products. This will be accomplished through implementation of a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program that will be clearly defined in a quality control plan developed specifically for this project.

Quality management will be used to ensure that the deliverables for the project meet a formally established standard of acceptance. Reviews are provided at critical points and specific responsibilities for the different levels of reviews during the life of the project are pre-defined.

NOTHING is released from the project team to the client without at least one review.

Quality control for the project will utilize tools and methodologies for ensuring that all deliverables comply with approved quality standards.

1. Senior level staff and technical
area experts will assist the
Project Manager in verifying the
quality standards are met for the
deliverables.

2. Use of a Technical Advisory
Panel made up of senior
technical experts to review
recommendations developed by
the project team. These experts
will attend the criteria committee
meetings, constructability review
meetings and workshops, as
needed.

3. Regularly scheduled project
coordination meetings between
the client and our Project Manager
and project engineers.

4. Independent review of each
technical work product before its
submission to the client.

5. Bi-monthly performance
assessments from the client.

GENERAL SCOPE

OF WORK
We understand the City desires to contract a consultant with expertise in potable water wells to ensure a successful Project. The City envisions the selected consultant performing the required efforts through a three-phase Project, starting with well water quality assessment, then designing up to two treatment facility systems to remove/reduce manganese, with the possibility to also remove/reduce iron and PFOS. The City is open to a creative approach to meet the Project objectives, which may or may not include “blending” to meet water quality parameters.

Although the design effort in Phase II will be focused on the two wells selected by the City, the goal of the Phase I assessment is to recommend treatment options for all of the active wells. Therefore, as part of Phase I, PACE proposes to develop a “master plan” level concept approach for the treatment systems at each of the seven wells, which will be included in the Assessment Report. This approach will streamline future treatment designs for the remaining wells, providing better value to the City.

PHASE I
Well water quality assessment with
treatment option recommendations for
all seven wells.

PHASE II
Well treatment design for Well No.
22 and No. 20 (preparing plans,
specifications, and cost estimates).

PHASE III
Project and Construction Management
(including preparing record as-built
drawings).

DETAILED WORK PLAN
WORK PLAN // 9
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES PACE’s proposal is based on the following assumptions and exclusions:
 Well No. 20 is believed to be in a “liquefaction zone,” which is why the geotechnical soil boring will be deeper at 50 feet, while the boring for Well No. 22 will be at 30 feet.
 PACE has the original geotechnical report for designing Well No. 22. If the team deems the report is adequate and can be utilized for the design of the upcoming treatment system at Well No. 22, PACE can reduce the fee proposal accordingly by eliminating the cost to perform a soil boring.
 For Subtask 1.2, the City will provide operation staff to pump-to-waste each well pump sequentially to allow PACE to efficiently collect water samples and to minimize the number of days for site visits.
 The optional Subtask 1.4, Pilot Testing, will require 3 weeks per site for a total of 6 weeks for two sites. PACE will need the City to provide a port from the discharge header before chlorine injection to connect raw well water to PACE’s pilot skid. The discharge water from the pilot skid will be disposed of through the on-site pump-to-waste drain.
 For optional Subtasks 1.5 to 1.7 to perform video inspection, zone isolation and testing, and depth-specific water quality sampling, the City will collaborate with PACE’s subconsultant to sequentially perform such tasks at both sites to minimize the number of days for site visits.
 For optional Subtask 2.3 Pipe Locating and Potholing, the City will collaborate with PACE’s subconsultant to sequentially perform such tasks at both sites to minimize the number of days for site visits.
 For Subtask 2.2, PACE has a “pre-construction” topographic survey for the design of Well No. 22. PACE believes it is highly probable the treatment system can be designed with a much reduced topographic survey. If the City and PACE agree on an approach that can reduce the cost of a topographic survey, the fee can be reduced accordingly.
 For Subtask 3.2, the PACE team, from experience, believes the most likely approach for CEQA compliance will be to prepare an “Exemption Justification Memo” for each site, in addition to filling and posting the typical one-page Notice of Exemption.

The fee proposal includes the cost of preparing these memos, but it can be significantly reduced if the City can attain CEQA compliance without them.
 PACE has included an exhibit showing a potential concept needing off-site improvements for well collection piping. That concept is not meant to be part of the scope of work required per the RFP, but rather to demonstrate PACE’s understanding and creativity to assist the City with this Project.
 The RFP requires construction management services (Subtask

3.4), but does not mention inspection or material testing. PACE assumes the construction duration will be up to 18 months and assumes an average of 2 hours per day to manage the project during the construction phase. Fees can be reduced accordingly if the construction duration is less than 18 months.

On the other hand, if the construction duration is beyond 18 months, PACE will seek a fee increase to account for the additional effort.
 PACE assumes the well sites have adequate surplus electrical power supply, with spare circuit breakers or space for new ones in the existing MCC/main distribution panels to meet the operational needs for the new treatment system. If the City’s existing well sites does not have adequate power supply or electrical equipment to meet the needs of the new treatment system, PACE will promptly provide the City with a request for additional funds for this additional task.

PACE prepared plans and specifications for the City of Vernon so their newly drilled water well could provide up to 2,100 gallons per minute (gpm) of potable well water into their existing distribution system. The pump is driven by a 400-horsepower motor, and the wellhead is covered with a removable enclosure to protect the equipment. In addition, the City’s material and specification preferences were incorporated to assist with standardizing equipment throughout the City. The site layout is very small and narrow, so the design satisfied Low Impact Development (LID) requirements by limiting the newly impervious area to less than 5,000 feet. Piping and valves were designed so that the site could accommodate steel treatment tanks for future wellhead treatment.

The Sweetwater Authority in southern San Diego County sought to remove color from the drinking water within the National City area, which was caused by iron and manganese in three major supply wells. PACE completed a 3-month pilot project using five different treatment trains for oxidative filtration of iron and manganese. The train consisting of “Greensand Plus,” or manganese dioxide-coated sand, achieved treatment consistently to less than 5 parts per billion. By removing iron particles about 0.45 micrometers in size, accumulation in the drinking water system in National City will be substantially reduced.

The system includes backwash recovery to save water loss from backwash. The full-scale design integrates the proposed final treatment system into the existing site with a new booster pump skid and on-site water quality analyzers. PACE also provided drinking water permitting and approval assistance.

PACE provided multiple phases of project development, laboratory services, piloting, concept development, water treatment facility engineering, planning division graphics, and startup and operations support services on this innovative and unique treatment system.

Sophisticated desktop, bench-scale, pilot-scale, and full-scale demonstrations were provided for confirmation of the proposed biological treatment of reduced (non-oxidized) drinking water quality constituents in the potable supply at Well 9 and other City wells. This first stage of work confirmed mechanisms for biological oxidation of hydrogen sulfide. This important and unique process has been presented at several national conferences, including the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Design of the complete 3,000 gpm (4.3 MGD) treatment facility included a granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration system and media, with complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls integration for reliable and simple operation. A custom filtration control panel design was also constructed and programmed.

PACE provided all project bid documents, permitting, and coordination with Southern California Edison and assisted the City with the bid process and construction support services.

The Lampson Water Well produces up to 4,000 gpm and is one of the City of Seal Beach’s four water wells. Historically high hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration levels have caused the well to be underutilized, operating at low flow rates to avoid odor complaints. The City contracted PACE to evaluate treatment alternatives to efficiently reduce H2S concentration levels. On-site pilot testing was employed to evaluate the viability of a biological treatment process using granular activated carbon (GAC) with and without plastic media and under various operating conditions. The pilot testing allowed for troubleshooting and refinement that led to selection of the biological activated carbon (BAC) process. The final system design effectively removes H2S odors and reduces chlorine chemical dosage using four 12-foot diameter steel pressure vessels, and also allows for future incorporation of PFAS treatment. Additionally, since the filter vessels need periodic backwashing and the wastewater can be discharged to the existing sewer system, PACE designed an inverted sewer siphon to increase flow capacity through an existing choke point. Approximately 100 feet of 6-inch pipeline was designed and located along an adjacent roadway.

PACE designed, constructed, and commissioned a new 1,000 gpm iron and manganese filtration system for a booster pump station in south Orange County. The system was designed to improve reliability and operational flexibility by allowing the client to supply irrigation water needs from any of their groundwater wells, including wells with elevated levels of these contaminants. The treatment system consists of automatic inlet pressure regulation, chlorine pre-oxidation injection, four parallel manganese dioxide filter banks, and a semi-automated treatment bypass that allows blending of low iron content well water with treated water. This increases the capacity of the booster pump station to 1,500 gpm and provides source water equivalent to the capacity. When commissioned, the system was performance-tested at its maximum design flow rate with influent total iron concentrations as high as 15 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and consistently produced effluent with less than 0.2 mg/L.

Orange County Water District (OCWD) hired PACE to provide well treatment design for six water well sites, consisting of up to eight wells, for the Golden State Water Company. Three sites are within the City of Stanton, two sites are within the City of Garden Grove, and one site is within the City of Placentia. The pressure vessel treatment systems will treat flows between 400 and 3,500 gpm. OCWD previously completed a pilot study and determined that the treatment process will consist of pre-treatment using bag filters, followed by ion exchange media in steel pressure vessels. Based on the design well capacity at each site, the treatment system will be sized and designed to meet the treatment objective consistent with OCWD’s pilot study recommendations, while providing alternative concept plans for stakeholders to review. PACE will also prepare feasibility studies for two separate private pump-to-waste drain lines to connect to the existing public storm drain system.

C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES CTS CONCEPT FOR WELL 22
For example, PACE created a separate future concept to
address a potential scenario where Well No. 22 detects PFOA.

Around December 2020, PACE completed the design of a new 12-inch diameter Ductile Iron distribution line that replaced and abandoned the existing 10-inch diameter Cast Iron pipe from Well No. 22, which terminated easterly, nearly to S.

Soto Street. While the recently abandoned pipe had to be replaced for being undersized to serve as a distribution pipe, it is adequately sized, and approximately 1,400 feet could be re-purposed / reactivated to function as a “well collection line” with approximately 2,350 of new well collection pipe toward the Well No. 15 and No. 19 well site that appears to have ample open space owned by the City. This same site also houses three 1-MG water storage tanks and a booster pump station.

Duncan
Lee, PE
With a combined 30 years of municipal/public agency experience, including most recently 17 years as a Principal Civil Engineer for the City of Huntington Beach and nearly 10 years of experience with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) with drinking water and recycled water, Duncan Lee offers technical expertise on the engineering of municipal water infrastructure in both the design role and the City project management role. He has managed all aspects of water, sewer, and recycled water systems from capital improvement design and project implementation, master planning, rate studies, rate increases, water conservation, and construction management. The majority of the projects that he managed/ designed were performed for coastal Cities throughout California. He will impart several strategies to overcome key potential project issues and his value is most felt in his proven ability to unite engineering, operation, maintenance, and consultants in a productive and collaborative environment. His recent project experience includes project management, water and sewer master planning, asset management planning, cost estimating, and design of water and sewer improvement projects including wastewater collection systems, sewer pump stations, potable water pumping facilities, force main improvements, sewer diversions, water storage facilities, and potable water treatment facilities. He has extensive experience managing multidisciplinary teams and managing large-scale programs with numerous simultaneous efforts. Duncan adds significant value to a wide range of utility projects serving as the Project Manager and will impart current experience with granular activated carbon (GAC) wellhead treatment systems in Southern California.

RELATED EXPERIENCE
City of Vernon Water Well 22 Water Line Improvements and Treatment System – Vernon, CA
Mr. Lee served as the Project Manager to prepare prepared plans and specifications for the City of Vernon so the newly drilled water well could provide up to 2,100 gpm of potable well water into their existing distribution system. The pump is driven by a 400-horsepower motor, and the wellhead is covered with a removable enclosure to protect the equipment.

The site layout is very small and narrow, so the design minimized space used for nonessential wellhead components while leaving room to accommodate steel treatment tanks for wellhead treatment. PACE also suspected that 2,000 linear feet of the existing cast iron distribution piping, to which the new 12-inch discharge pipe would connect, had tuberculation and would create excess pressure buildup if the new well operated at full capacity. PACE implemented a physical flow test and validated that the existing pipe lost over half of its capacity. As a result, the existing 10-inch cast iron pipe was replaced with a new 12-inch ductile iron pipe.

Sweetwater Authority Iron and Manganese Well Treatment System – National City, CA
The Sweetwater Authority in southern San Diego County sought to remove color from the APPENDIX | RESUMES
C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES drinking water within the National City area, which was caused by iron and manganese in three major supply wells. Mr. Lee served as the QA/QC for the completion of a 3-month pilot project using five different treatment trains for oxidative filtration of iron and manganese.

The train consisting of “Greensand Plus,” or manganese dioxide-coated sand, achieved treatment consistently to less than 5 parts per billion. By removing iron particles about

0.45 micrometers in size, accumulation in the drinking water system in National City will be substantially reduced. The system includes backwash recovery to save water loss from backwash. The full-scale design integrates the proposed final treatment system into the existing site with a new booster pump skid and on-site water quality analyzers. PACE also provided drinking water permitting and approval assistance.

City of Huntington Beach Well 9 GAC Treatment System – Huntington Beach, CA Mr. Lee served as the City Principal Engineer managing the analysis and design of a complete 3,000 gpm (4.3 MGD) GAC filtration system treatment facility. The project included multiple phases of project development, laboratory services, piloting, concept development, water treatment facility engineering, planning division graphics, and startup and operations support services. Sophisticated desktop, bench-scale, pilot-scale, and fullscale demonstrations were provided for confirmation of the proposed biological treatment of reduced (non-oxidized) drinking water quality constituents in the potable supply at Well 9 and other City wells.

City of Seal Beach Lampson Wellhead Treatment and Sewer Siphon – Seal Beach, CA
The Lampson Water Well produces up to 4,000 gpm and is one of the City of Seal Beach’s four water wells. Historically high hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration levels have caused the well to be underutilized, operating at low flow rates to avoid odor complaints. As the Project Manager, Mr. Lee led the design of a biological activated carbon (BAC) process to remove H2S odors and reduce chlorine chemical dosage using four 12-foot diameter steel pressure vessels, and also allows for future incorporation of PFAS treatment. Additionally, since the filter vessels need periodic backwashing and the wastewater can be discharged to the existing sewer system, PACE designed an inverted sewer siphon to increase flow capacity through an existing choke point. Approximately 100 feet of 6-inch pipeline was designed and located along an adjacent roadway.

OCWD PFAS Well Treatment – Orange County, CA
Mr. Lee is serving as the Project Manager for the well treatment design for six water well sites, consisting of up to eight wells, for the Golden State Water Company. Three sites are within the City of Stanton, two sites are within the City of Garden Grove, and one site is within the City of Placentia. The pressure vessel treatment system will treat flows between 400 and 3,500 gallons per minute. OCWD previously completed a pilot study and determined that the treatment process will consist of pre-treatment using bag filters, followed by ion exchange (IX) media in steel pressure vessels. Based on the design well capacity at each site, the treatment system will be sized and designed to meet the treatment objective consistent with OCWD’s pilot study recommendations, while providing alternative concept plans for stakeholders to review. PACE will also prepare feasibility studies for two separate private pump-to-waste drain lines to connect to the existing public storm drain system.

City of Riverside Garner B Well PFOA/PFOS Treatment Pilot Testing – Riverside, CA Mr. Lee served as Project Manager to lead a condition assessment of the out-of-service GAC treatment system to determine the feasibility of rehabilitating the system into a full-scale pilot system to treat PFOA/PFOS.

Upon determining that the rehabilitation was feasible, PACE prepared improvement plans and specifications to reactivate the treatment system, designed modifications to accommodate either granular activated carbon (GAC) or ion exchange media, and specified components to be replaced, including the flow meter and tank lining.

City of Huntington Beach Replacement of Well 1 with Well 1A – Huntington Beach, CA
Led by Mr. Lee while he was employed by the City of Huntington Beach, this water well replacement project was critical to increasing overall reliability of the City’s aging well infrastructure. The project site was a small lot, located in a quiet residential neighborhood adjacent to homes. In order to obtain public support and the necessary permit from the City’s Planning Department, the new structure and landscaping were designed to appear similar to the nearby homes to be aesthetically unobtrusive. All equipment was placed indoors to protect it from public view and to comply with the City’s noise ordinance. The well room was designed with removable walls and roof to allow for major well maintenance and rehabilitation activities. The well can produce up to 2,500 gpm with a 250-horsepower motor, with the option to operate with a variable frequency drive at fixed or variable speed.

In the event of a catastrophic loss in both electrical power and natural gas supply to the site, a 500-gallon liquid propane gas tank provides backup energy to operate a natural gas engine generator. Wellhead treatment consists of chlorine and fluoride addition. Chlorine is stored in an isolated ventilated room in a 1-ton double-walled containment vessel and a separate 150-pound double-walled containment vessel. A separate chemical room designed with a floor containment system can store chemicals such as fluoride.

City of Huntington Beach New Well 12 – Huntington Beach, CA Led by Mr. Lee while employed by the City of Huntington Beach, this new water well sits on a commercially zoned property obtained through a development agreement with The Boeing Company. The well room was designed with removable walls and roof to allow for major well maintenance and rehabilitation activities. The electrically driven well equipment can produce up to 3,000 gpm with a 300 horsepower motor, with options to operate with a variable frequency drive at fixed or variable speed. At the time this well was designed, there was adequate redundant overall well pumping capacity, so no backup equipment was included at this site. Chlorine is stored in an isolated ventilated room, a 1-ton double-walled containment vessel, and a separate 150-pound double-walled containment vessel. Wellhead treatment consists of chlorine and fluoride addition. A separate chemical room designed with a floor containment system can store chemicals like fluoride.

He has personally fabricated, programmed, and installed a multitude of custom control systems, which included PLC/PAC programming, radio telemetry, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for numerous water, wastewater, and cogeneration projects.

RELATED EXPERIENCE
City of Huntington Beach Well 9 Wellhead Treatment System – Huntington Beach, CA
Mr. Matthews served as the Sr. Consulting Engineer and provided QA/QC oversight for testing, alternatives analysis, and design services of a complete 3,000 gpm (4.3 MGD) treatment facility, including six 10-foot diameter biological active carbon (BAC) filtration vessels and media, with complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and controls integration for reliable and simple operation. Mr. Matthews provided key technical direction on the alternatives evaluated and process selection and also led the design, construction, and programming of a custom instrumentation and controls system for the project.

Water Treatment Facility for Iron and Manganese Removal – Lakeside, CA Under the direction of Mr. Matthews as the Principal Engineer, PACE developed a water treatment facility that treats 99% of the client’s water supply to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) primary and secondary drinking water standards for iron, manganese, arsenic, and uranium. The 500 gpm iron and manganese filtration system uses a proprietary filtration media that completely removes iron and manganese from the potable water supply without the use of complicated chemical injection systems. Later improvements to the filtration plant addressed new EPA compliance requirements for uranium removal using a uranium-specific ion exchange system that treats production water to an average of 5 micrograms per liter (µg/L) with a maximum concentration of 20 µg/L, well below the EPA’s maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 30 µg/L. With a small footprint system in mind, PACE’s design was able to reduce capital and operational costs significantly. Mr. Matthews and the principal /

Groundwater Iron and Manganese Filtration System – South Orange County, CA Mr. Matthews served as the Principal for a new 1,000 gpm iron and manganese filtration system for a booster pump station. The system was designed to improve reliability and operational flexibility, allowing the client to supply irrigation water needs from any of their groundwater wells, including wells with elevated levels of these contaminants. The treatment system consists of automatic inlet pressure regulation, chlorine pre-oxidation injection, four parallel manganese dioxide filter banks, and a semi-automated treatment bypass that allows the blending of low iron content well water with treated water. This increases the capacity of the booster pump station to 1,500 gpm and provides source water equivalent to the capacity. When commissioned, the system was performance-tested at its maximum design flow rate with influent total iron concentrations as high as 15 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and consistently produced effluent with less than 0.2 mg/L.

Town of Kearny Water System Improvements – Kearny, AZ
Mr. Matthews is serving as the Principal / QA/QC for design improvements to the Town of Kearny Water Treatment Facility. The Town of Kearny has been experiencing repeated operational failures with its potable water filtration system, which consists of a pressured media filtration vessel designed to remove manganese and has a design capacity of 700 gpm. The facility suffers from hydraulic surges and equipment and valve failures that have made the system inoperable for the majority of the time since its implementation.

Mr. Matthews helped evaluate the system and identify deficiencies to plan for facility improvements. Improvements will include upgrades to the filtration vessel, process piping, installation of a new pressure control valve, and installation of a new control panel.

Grizzly Ranch Potable Water System – Portola, CA
Mr. Matthews was the Principal Engineer responsible for the design of the potable water infrastructure and wastewater treatment components of the 380-lot Grizzly Ranch development in Portola, California. The design included a 0.5 MGD wellhead treatment system to remove arsenic, iron, sulfide, manganese, and suspended solids from the groundwater supply. Other water infrastructure consisted of a 0.65-million-gallon welded steel potable / fire water storage tank sited on a hillside with four water supply wells, pressure-reducing valve (PRV) stations, three booster pump stations with variable frequency drive (VFD) pumps, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and an emergency diesel generator. Mr. Matthews also designed the site-wide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system with radio I/O for control of the well, booster pump station, and storage tank level controls. Four pressure zones were modeled in WaterCAD for the planning portion of the project.

Golden State Water Imperial Plant PFAS Treatment Facility – Imperial, CA The Golden State Water Imperial Plant treatment facility was completed as a design-build project with PACE serving as the Engineer of Record under the Metro Builders & Engineers Group. The project encompassed the demolition of existing air stripping towers and construction of a new granular activated carbon (GAC) filter system to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from the groundwater produced by two on-site water wells. A pre-engineered packaged GAC system from Aqueous Vets was utilized, and Mr. Matthews served as the Project Manager to prepare demolition plans, grading and site detail plans, concrete foundation plans and details, mechanical interconnection piping plans and details, and mechanical design and plans for a pre-treatment basket strainer system and provided construction and commissioning assistance.

City of Santa Monica Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) Advanced Water Recycling Facility – Santa Monica, CA
Mr. Peterson served as the Sr. Project Engineer for the design of the Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF), a key component of the City of Santa Monica’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP). The AWTF treats a combination of raw wastewater and harvested stormwater, producing 1.0 MGD of purified water for groundwater augmentation.

The facility is one of the first to take in raw wastewater, fully oxidize the stream via biological treatment, and provide the required pathogen reduction to meet California Title 22 regulations for indirect potable reuse with reduction of 12-log virus, 10-log Cryptosporidium, and 10-log Giardia all within one facility. The treatment process consists of a five-barrier stream: membrane bioreactor (MBR), cartridge filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet advanced oxidation process (UVAOP), and chlorine disinfection. The facility is the first to receive pathogen credits through the MBR and cartridge filtration processes by deliberately selecting the equipment and system design to remain within certain operating envelopes.

The RO uses total organic carbon (TOC) as a surrogate parameter to measure pathogen reduction, which allows a higher pathogen reduction value to be claimed than typical conductivity values. UVAOP uses free chlorine as the oxidant to reduce the number of chemicals required on-site, with residual chlorine providing downstream process benefits for chlorine disinfection. The AWTF is situated in a highly urbanized area and will be a completely subterranean facility located underneath the City’s Civic Center parking lot. The first level below ground serves as the mechanical treatment area that houses the process equipment. The second level below ground serves as the process tanks, including MBR tanks, filtrate storage, chlorine contact tank, and purified water clearwell.

Los Angeles Country Club Wells and Ozone Injection – Los Angeles, CA As the Project Engineer, Mr. Peterson assisted in developing the best approach to improving irrigation water quality for the Los Angeles Country Club (LACC), which led to the designbuild of an ozonation water treatment system. Mr. Peterson assisted in the design of the ozonation system, including new piping, instruments, ozone generation skid, injection skid and pump from tank, and liquid oxygen storage and controls.

National City Well Iron and Manganese Treatment System – National City, CA The Sweetwater Authority in southern San Diego County sought to remove the color from the drinking water within the National City Area which was caused by iron and manganese in three major supply wells. Dr. Henkanatte Gedara served as the Water Quality for the threemonth pilot project that PACE conducted using five different treatment trains for oxidative filtration of iron and manganese. Train 4, consisting of “Greensand Plus” or manganese dioxide coated sand, achieved treatment consistently to less than 5 parts per billion. By removing iron particles about 0.45 uM in size, accumulation in the drinking water system in National City will be substantially reduced. The system will include backwash recovery to save water loss from backwash. The team is currently proceeding with the full-scale design by integrating the proposed final treatment system into the existing site with a new booster pump skid and on-site water quality analyzers. PACE is also providing drinking water permitting and approval assistance.

Huntington Beach Well 9 Sulfide Removal Treatment System – Huntington Beach, CA
Dr. Henkanatte Gedara served as the Water Quality Expert to conduct pilot work at the Well 9 full-scale treatment facility, where the potential applicability of a proposed hybrid setup for biological treatment of reduced (non-oxidized) drinking water quality constituents in full scale was investigated. The pilot test results showed that backwash frequency could be extended to three times the existing backwash frequency to minimize annual operating expenses and provide substantial savings on water waste through backwash water and filterto-waste disposal.

Hydrogen Sulfide Removal at the Lampson Water Well – Seal Beach, CA The Lampson Water Well produces up to 4,000 GPM and is one of the City’s four water wells.

Historical water quality data showed a high range of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration levels. Therefore, the well is under-utilized, operating at low flow rates to avoid odor pilot
testing

C361 // CITY OF VERNON SOURCE WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND DESIGN OF TREATMENT FACILITIES complaints. Dr. Henkanatte Gedara conducted the pilot testing and served as the Water Quality Analyst Engineer for the design of a biological treatment process (BAC) using Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) to remove H2S odor and reduce chlorine chemical dosage.

Periodically, filter vessels need backwashing, and the wastewater is to be discharged to the existing sewer system. PACE also designed an inverted sewer siphon to increase flow capacity through an existing choke point.

Golden State Water Company Del Monte Well 4 Arsenic Removal – San Dimas, CA PACE provided professional consulting services for the Del Monte Well No. 4 arsenic reduction project in Claremont, CA. The raw water from Well 4 contains varying arsenic content, generally exceeding the state MCL of 10 µg/L, with typical concentrations ranging from 20 to 40 µg/L. Treatment and blending were required to reduce the average arsenic concentration to less than 8 µg/L. Dr. Henkanatte Gedara served as the Water Quality Specialist to propose a plan including six operation scenarios and testing schedules for Well 4 based on the key findings from the site visit at the Del Monte storage tank and booster station plant. The plan also included installation concepts for the tank mixing system, analysis of tank inlet/ outlet, as well as the water quality testing protocols for properly monitoring the system performance, parameters including dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential, total dissolved solids, pH, color, alkalinity, total arsenic, dissolved arsenic, total iron, dissolved iron, total manganese, dissolved manganese, total chlorine, free chlorine, total volatile compounds, total organic carbon, ammonia, and sulfide.

Santa Monica Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) Advanced Water Treatment Facility – Santa Monica, CA
Dr. Henkanatte Gedara served as the Water Quality Specialist for the design of the Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF), a key component of the City of Santa Monica’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP). The AWTF treats a combination of raw wastewater and harvested stormwater, producing 1.0 MGD of purified water for groundwater augmentation.

The facility is one of the first to take in raw wastewater, fully oxidize the stream via biological treatment, and provide the pathogen reduction requirements to meet California Title 22 regulations for Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) of 12 log virus, 10 log cryptosporidium, and 10 log giardia all within one facility. The treatment process consists of a five-barrier stream:
membrane bioreactor (MBR), cartridge filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet advanced oxidation process (UVAOP), and chlorine disinfection. The facility is the first to receive pathogen credits through the MBR and cartridge filtration processes by being deliberate in the selection of the equipment and design of the systems to remain within certain operating envelopes. The RO uses Total Organic Carbon (TOC) as a surrogate parameter to measure pathogen reduction, which allows a higher pathogen reduction value to be claimed than typical conductivity values. UVAOP uses free chlorine as the oxidant to reduce the number of chemicals required on-site, with residual chlorine providing downstream process benefits for chlorine disinfection. The AWTF is situated in a highly urbanized area and will be a completely subterranean facility located underneath the City’s Civic Center parking lot. The first level below ground serves as the mechanical treatment area that houses the process equipment. The second level below ground serves as the process tanks, including MBR tanks, filtrate storage, chlorine contact tank, and purified water clearwell.
