HomeMy WebLinkAbout04-03-2018 Item 09 - WRRF Design Services Contract Amendment
Meeting Date: 4/3/2018
FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Director of Utilities
Prepared By: David Hix, Deputy Director Utilities – Wastewater
SUBJECT: WRRF DESIGN SERVICES CONTRACT AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve a contract amendment with CH2M, Inc. for $790,767 for completion of Design
Services for the Water Resource Recovery Facility Project, Spec. No. 91363; and
2. Approve transfer of $790,767 from the Sewer Fund working capital for the WRRF project to
the project account.
DISCUSSION
As the WRRF project completes final design, a variety of elements key to completing the project
for bidding on schedule were identified.
Described in the February 20, 2018 WRRF Project Update Council Agenda Report, these
changes will result in the WRRF accomplishing the City’s long-range goals related to water
resiliency, recycled water, and environmental stewardship, while meeting regulatory mandates,
needed capacity for 2035 build-out, aging infrastructure and creating a community asset
(Attachment A).
Some of the necessary
design contract
amendments are:
• MBR procurement
that resulted in a
lower cost and
better warranty.
• Value engineering
that has resulted in
the reduction of
some processes,
optimization in
others.
• Removal of the berm surrounding the equalization basin to ensure the protection of
critical neighboring facilities such as the Corporation Yard and Homeless Services
Center.
• A building for the UV (Ultra-Violet) disinfection system and conversion of the WRRF
Packet Pg 201
9
electrical system to medium voltage to enhance reliability and safety.
• Pumping to return flows from the equalization basin to the WRRF during wet weather to
comply with regulatory requirements and optimize the size of the MBR (membrane
bioreactor).
This request is for the out-of-scope items to complete final design and critical to getting the
project out to bid and maintaining the project schedule.
The program management team has thoroughly reviewed the contact amendment, discussed and
negotiated with CH2M for several weeks, resulting in the request being presented to be accurate,
appropriate, and fair. CH2M’s design services and the team they bring have been key to the
success of this complicated design. CH2M has been a dedicated and committed partner in this
project. Attachment B contains the complete contract amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Council adopted Resolution 10740 (2016 Series) certifying the environmental impact
report (EIR) for the Water Resource Recovery Facility Project (SCH #2015101044) on August
16, 2016. The proposed contract amendment for additional design services is consistent with the
project analyzed under that EIR and this action does not trigger the need for additional
environmental review.
FISCAL IMPACT
The original design agreement was entered into in July 2015 for an amount of $6,229,323. Since
that time, project design has evolved, and components have been added (MBR process and pre-
selection, architectural, value engineering and existing facility modification), amended, and
revised. This lead to a first amendment of the contract in January 2017 for $1,519,049. This is
the second amendment that should allow the project to proceed to 95% design considering the
magnitude and complexity of a project of this scale. This amendment to CH2M’s design contract
will cost $790,767. This expenditure has been included in the sewer fund analysis. At this time, it
is not anticipated this will affect the sewer fund that has a current unreserved working capital of
$25,345,818. Complete impacts to the sewer fund will be analyzed after costs for construction,
additional services and contingencies have been finalized.
CH2M Contract for Design Services $7,748,372
Amendment for Phase 3 $790,767
Total CH2M Contract for Design $8,539,139
Industry average for design related services for a project such as the WRRF range from 7% to
9% of construction cost. Total construction cost for the WRRF is estimated to be $95-$109
million, which places CH2M’s anticipated total design contract within the industry standard.
Total costs for the project will continue to be refined as bids and proposals are authorized for
project construction, construction management, engineering services during construction,
contingencies and phases 4 & 5 of program management.

ALTERNATIVE
Elect not to approve the contract amendment. The City Council may elect not to approve the
contract amendment at this time. Council may select this alternative if it believes that design
services may be accomplished in a different manner. Staff does not recommend this alternative
due to complicated nature of the project, the extent of the present design, cost of modifying the
current project and the probable loss of desired design elements.

Meeting Date: 2/20/2018
FROM: Carrie Mattingly, Director of Utilities
Prepared By: David Hix, Deputy Director Utilities – Wastewater
SUBJECT: WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY PROJECT UPDATE AND
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES CONTRACT AMENDMENT
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Approve a contract amendment with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. for $1,124,453 for
completion of Phase 3 Program Management Services for the Water Resource Recovery
Facility Project, Spec. No. 91219; and
2. Approve transfer of $1,124,453 from the Sewer Fund working capital for the WRRF project
to the project account.
DISCUSSION
WRRF Project Update
The WRRF project is in the final design phase with the recent completion of sixty percent project
design as a major project milestone. Completion of construction documents and bidding is
scheduled for September 2018 with construction beginning the end of the calendar year. The
WRRF project will deliver the key project drivers of regulatory compliance, replacing aging
infrastructure, providing needed capacity for the future, maximizing recycled water production,
and community resource center. The WRRF project changed considerably in early 2017 after
comprehensive analysis determined that Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology offered
considerable benefits from the conventional denitrification technology originally envisioned for
the WRRF. MBR
technology will
produce a higher water
quality, maximize
recycled water
production, and
position the City for
potable reuse. This
major change and other
conditions described
later in this report have
added additional time
and cost to the project
scope and schedule.
Contract Amendment
While best aligning with the City’s long-range goals related to water resiliency, recycled water,
and environmental stewardship, the change to the MBR process have resulted in schedule
Packet Pg 204
9
impacts. In addition, a variety of conditions were identified that required additional studies to
provide more information to progress with design. These studies revealed important issues that
required further analysis and changes to the Program Manager’s existing scope of work to keep
the project moving forward. The necessary changes listed below have resulted in significant cost
and schedule impacts:
• MBR procurement to ensure the most efficient MBR system with the best warranty for
the City.
• Additional value engineering that has resulted in the reduction of the size of some
processes, and efficiencies and optimization in others.
• Flood studies that have provided enhanced analysis to inform the protection of the
WRRF, the City’s Corporation Yard, and future and existing infrastructure in the Prado
Road area.
• Additional inflow and infiltration studies to ultimately reduce process replacement.
• Additional analysis of cooling wetlands process. This study determined that regulatory
constraints make this alternative infeasible.
The extended schedule will require additional funding for the WRRF project program to
complete the final design phase. These costs include ongoing program management, engineering
support, permitting, funding support, and public and stakeholder engagement. This request is for
the out-of-scope items and to complete program management for the final design which is
critical to keeping the design phase on schedule.
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the contract amendment (Attachment A) and believes the request
to be accurate, appropriate, and fair. Program management services have been essential to the
success of this highly complicated project. Water Systems Consulting Inc. (WSC) has been a
valued partner in this project.
Design services for the project have also been impacted by the schedule and out-of-scope items
outlined above. The City is anticipating a contract amendment request to be submitted by the
project designer CH2M. Staff will again thoroughly review the request and discuss and negotiate
with the designer before seeking Council consideration.
Project Costs and Funding
On January 26, 2018, the City received written assurance that it will receive a low interest loan
for up to $140 million in project costs from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) (Attachment B).
This low interest loan will allow the City to save millions of dollars in interest. An SRF loan is
based on the State’s General Obligation Bond and charged at 50% of the current rate. Based on
the written confirmation, City and State legal staff will soon begin consultation on the draft
agreements. Final loan documents will be presented later this year for Council consideration.
The current bidding and building climate in California has seen a rapid escalation of construction

WRRF Project Phases
Phase Schedule Status
Phase 1 - Project Planning January 2014 – June 2015 Complete
Phase 2 - Preliminary Design July 2015 – August 2016 Complete

Phase 4 – Construction December 2018 – January 2022
Phase 5 - Close Out November 2021 – February 2022
costs statewide. The most recent cost document presented a low-medium-high range of estimated
project construction costs with the high range exceeding the sewer fund’s financial capacity.
The WRRF Project team continues to analyze the project and will modify the bidding documents
to offer flexibility at the time of award to stay within budget. This will include a separate bid
item for the Water Resource
Center (WRC) to allow the
required improvements to
move forward and the City to
determine if project funding
can support the building. This
approach allows competitive
bidding for two distinctly
different projects and may
offer savings. If the WRC
cannot be a part of the
project, the building will be
placed in the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) for
construction at a later date.
Grants, partnerships and other funding mechanisms are being actively pursued for a variety of
processes and improvements at the WRRF and the surrounding area. These include flooding,
recycled water, energy, inflow and infiltration reduction, and transportation. Staff has identified a
goal of fifteen million dollars in grants, loan forgiveness, and partnerships to help offset the cost
of the project.
Project Phases, Schedule, and Next Steps
This calendar year will see the completion of project final design phase and the beginning of the
construction phase for the project. Several key project objectives are on-track for this year and
are summarized on the project milestone schedule below. Several key items that will be coming
to Council for funding consideration include program management for phase 4 and 5 and
engineering support for the project. Other activities for 2018 and 2019 include the revision and
negotiation of the WRRF’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (NPDES)
permit and Time Schedule Order (TSO).

FISCAL IMPACT
This amendment to WSC’s phase 2 and 3 program management contract will cost $1,124,453.
The Sewer Fund has sufficient unreserved working capital for this expenditure. On June 30,
2017, the City’s comprehensive annual financial report showed an unreserved working capital of
$27,656,818.
Original WSC Contract for Phase 2 and 3 $2,311,000
Amendment for Phase 3 $1,124,453
Total WSC Contract for Phase 2 and 3 $3,435,453
Industry average for total program related services for a project such as the WRRF are 6% of the
entire project cost. Total project costs for the WRRF are estimated to be $120-$140 million,
which places WSC’s anticipated total program management contract for Phases 1 through 5
within an acceptable range. Total costs for the project will continue to be refined as the design
nears completion.
ALTERNATIVE
Elect not to approve the contract amendment. The City Council may elect not to approve the
contract amendment at this time. Council may select this alternative if it believes that program
management may be accomplished in a different manner. Staff does not recommend this
alternative due to complicated nature of the project, the expense of bringing on a different
program manager mid-project, and the lack of in-house expertise and resources.

Item No. 2 – MBR Rebid
After receipt of the original bids from two membrane vendors on April 20, 2017, the State Water
Resources Control Board Division of Financial Assistance Legal Counsel advised the City that the
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements were not met, thus both bids were determined
to be nonresponsive. As part of the rebid activities, the City requested additional items be included in
the specifications, including an extended warranty and change to a mandatory pre‐bid meeting.
As a result of the rebid, additional work was performed including the following:
Revised specifications for the rebid as requested by the City and provided the final rebid
package (June 29, 2017).
Additional bid phase services, including issuing addenda. Developed and issued Addenda No. 1
(July 19, 2017), No. 2 (July 20, 2017), No. 3 (August 3, 2017), No. 4 (August 9, 2017), and No. 5
(August 17, 2017).
Attended the mandatory pre‐proposal meeting on July 7, 2017.
Attended additional meetings during the bid phase to support the City’s procurement processes,
address City and Program Manager questions, discuss addenda, and discuss the proposal review
findings (August 2, 16, 28 and September 1, 5).
Evaluated the lowest present worth cost bid, upon receipt of proposals on August 22, and
provided letters summarizing proposal review comments (September 7 and 9, 2017).
Attended exceptions review meetings with the City, Program Manager and successful vendor
(September 12, 14, 20 and 22, 2017).
Developed two versions of conformed bid documents as requested by the Program Manager to
incorporate addenda and City, legal and vendor revisions (September 29 and October 16, 2017).
With the rebid, the City received a 10‐year full warranty for a similar system price as identified in the
original bid, which provided a 7‐year full warranty with a 3‐year cliff.
Item No. 3 – Equalization Pond Return Pump Station
Based on the Facilities Plan, the original scope of work included modifications to the return pump
station to operate at an increased water surface elevation, providing a redundant pump in the existing
pump station and providing additional automation (level control). The scope also included raising the
perimeter berm to prevent inundation during the 100‐year storm event. The 30% design showed the
addition of a second vertical turbine solids handling pump in the existing wetwell, matching existing.
During the development of the 60% design, further investigation showed that the existing diversion
structure could not be structurally retrofit to accommodate the higher water surface elevation and
provide flood protection; relocation of the pump station was required. A new pump station with vertical
turbine solids handling pumps was designed and modeled.
During the July 5‐6, 2017 P&ID review meetings, the City requested that submersible pumps be used
instead of vertical turbine solids handling pumps. Redesign of the station was required to accommodate
the change in pump type. The following drawings and specifications were impacted by the addition of
the new pump station and the subsequent change from vertical turbine pumps:
Additional mechanical, structural drawings, and electrical drawings to modify the existing
control structure and design a new flow equalization pump station, including the following:

Item No. 4 – Ferric Chloride Facilities Addition for CEPT
As discussed in workshops during the 30% and 60% design, chemically enhanced primary treatment
(CEPT) is recommended as a backup for enhanced settling during peak flow events or when a primary
clarifier is out of service, depending on plant flows. There was agreement with the need for using CEPT
under these conditions. CEPT was not identified as being required in the Facilities Plan and therefore
was not included in the original project scope.
There was a decision by the City to reuse the existing ferrous tank for ferric chloride, but add a new feed
pump as the existing units are 20 years old. The 60% design includes drawings and a specification for a
new ferric chloride feed system for CEPT. The 60% design deliverable includes selection of a ferric
chloride chemical pump and development of drawings and a specification for the pumps. The 95% and
100% drawings and specifications will include further detailing of this system. The following drawings
and specifications were impacted by the addition of the new ferric feed system pump:

Item No. 6 – Process Air Blowers Evaluations
The Facilities Plan indicated the City would be installing two new Neuros turbo blowers as part of a WRRF
Capital Improvement Project. In the Facilities Plan, Table 7‐12, Design Criteria Required for Upgrades
Permit Compliance indicated a total of 5 blowers, 2 existing and 3 new. The 30% design drawings were
based on the use of turbo blowers, matching this proposed approach. The City indicated during 30%
that they wanted CH2M to evaluate blower types. Based on the City’s request, several presentations
were developed, including an extensive evaluation of various blower combinations, including energy
Packet Pg 215

PAGE 4 OF 7
comparisons at the range of conditions to optimize energy benefits for City. As a result of this
evaluation, a blower system was selected with mixed blower types to most closely meet the wide range
of projected operating conditions, including turndown and peak events.
The scope for this item is the evaluation of a range of blower options and combinations including:
Development and delivery of initial presentation of blower options, including general approach
proposed for blower evaluation (July 26, 2017).
Analysis of blower types and sizes, with combinations of blowers to optimize annual operating
efficiencies.
Development and delivery of final blower evaluation presentation with recommendation
(September 27, 2017).
Follow‐up meeting to review City decision (October 11, 2017).
Item No. 7 – 3W Pump Station
The original scope of work was based on expanding the capacity of the existing 3W pump station by
replacing the two existing 300 gpm pumps with two new 600 gpm pumps. Based on the new 3W
capacity requirements, additional wet well space was required and reuse of the existing wet well was
not compliant with Hydraulic Institute Standards. CH2M proposed pumps with variable frequency drives
(VFDs), which is standard practice for 3W systems. The City and the Program Manager requested
further development of alternatives to allow further turndown during night time low flow conditions.
The resulting system includes both VFDs and a hydropneumatic tank. Meetings were held on July 26
and August 22, 2017 to present alternatives and evaluations of the 3W pumping system options.
The new 3W pump station is shown on the following drawings:

Item No. 8 – UV Electrical Building
The Facilities Plan did not identify the need for a new electrical building to serve the new UV system,
located in the vicinity of the existing chlorine contact basins. There was an assumption that existing
electrical buildings would have space for the UV system electrical components, but they do not.
Therefore, a new electrical building was included in the 60% design to house the UV system electrical.
The 3W system electrical equipment is also located in this building. The 60% design deliverable included
the following drawings for the UV system electrical building:

Item No. 9 – Medium Voltage Distribution
The Facilities Plan and the 30% design for site electrical were based on low voltage distribution. During
60%, the City elected to provide medium voltage power distribution within the plant and use step‐down
transformers to power 480‐volt facility loads versus continuing with low voltage power distribution. Two
meetings were held on June 14 and July 26, 2017 to present and discuss alternatives. The decision was
based on increased operational safety through reduction of the arc flash hazard, increased power
reliability, increased flexibility for future expansion (potable reuse) and simplification of the service
connection from PG&E. As an outcome from the Value Engineering activities, the City has elected to
implement a single‐loop system in lieu of the double‐loop system included in the 60% design.
This change in approach resulted in the need to update the single line diagrams, site plan drawings to
show the location of the medium voltage equipment, electrical plan drawings to show the power
distribution, and add technical specifications for medium voltage equipment. The following drawings
were affected as part of the change to medium voltage distribution:

flow meter vault was included in the 60% design deliverable for primary influent flow measurement.
The following drawings were developed for the primary influent flow meter vault:
18‐S‐1100, Structural Plans and Section
18‐D‐1100, Process Plans and Sections
Item No. 11 – Temporary Pumping Design for Interim UV System Operation
The final design will be based on MBR permeate pumping to the UV system. Because of the Time
Schedule Order date for THM compliance, interim operation of the UV system on filtered effluent was
considered for approximately one year through installation of a temporary pumping system. Additional
evaluation and testing by the City revealed that THM compliance would not be met without the MBR
system in operation.
The effort for defining temporary pumping has included the following:
Hydraulics evaluation for the temporary pumping system
Site/location evaluation and plan for piping tie‐ins for temporary system
Coordination with vendors of temporary pumping systems
Specification 01 57 28 Temporary Flow Control
Drawing 06‐Y‐1010 Yard Piping Plan Area 10
Item No. 12 – Value Engineering Items
The final design will incorporate the value engineering items discussed and agreed to during the January
10th meeting among the City, WSC, HDR and CH2M. The specific items identified below will require
additional design time to incorporate the changes into the contract documents.
Delete photovoltaic systems at Facilities 10, 14, 36, 40, 54, 72 and 83
Change UV facility to slab on grade
Reduce the effluent cooling capacity to align with recycled water goals by eliminating 1 tower
A credit has been provided for the deletion of the new screw press at Facility 86, however, the scope of
work will still include modification of the existing belt press load out conveyor to accommodate roll‐off
bin handling and relocation of the existing feed pump.
Although the sidestream treatment facility has been deleted from the project, design elements need to
be addressed with this change. The filtrate pump station will still be required and additional dynamic
process modeling of the centrate return will need to be conducted to confirm the need for the
equalization basin to attenuate the ammonia loading variability on the bioreactors. As a result, no credit
has been applied.
Item No. 13 – Remove Berm at Equalization (EQ) Basin
To mitigate off‐site impacts during a flood event, the City has elected to remove the berm around the
EQ basin that is currently shown in the 60% design drawings. This change will involve re‐grading the EQ
basin to provide the required 8.75 million gallons of storage volume within the basin. Further evaluation
of the existing control structure, primary effluent diversion box overflow and return pump station will be
required to accommodate the new footprint, grading and operating water surface elevation. Re‐grading
of the adjacent roadways is required to align with the new exterior elevation. The following drawings
will be affected by this change:

Item No. 14 – Water Resource Center
As an outcome from the Value Engineering activities, the City has elected to include the Water Resource
Center as an additive alternative in the construction bid. Additional level of effort has been identified for
this change.
We look forward to discussing the details of this change order at your earliest convenience.
