City of San Bernardino — Request for Council Action
Staff Report
Subiect:
Resolution authorizing execution of an agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers to provide
professional engineering services for preparation of a Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan
(SW 10-014).
Background:
The City's sewer collection system consists of approximately 464 miles of gravity pipelines
ranging in size from 4 inches to 54 inches. The majority of the system is constructed of vitrified
clay pipe, much of which is in excess of fifty years old. Although the system continues to
function in an adequate manner, cost of maintenance continues to grow from year to year. It is
appropriate to identify problem areas and conduct repairs or replacement in a proactive and
thoughtful manner before failure occurs. One of the key elements of the proposed project is an
assessment of the condition of the pipes in the backbone system.
The current Sewer Master Plan for the City of San Bernardino was prepared in 2002, but has
become out-dated due to the tremendous growth experienced between 2004 and 2008. A new
Sewer Master Plan is needed to identify deficiencies in the existing sewer system and to identify
improvements needed to accommodate future development. The new Sewer Master Plan is
expected to include estimates of remaining service life of the pipelines, replacement cost and a
long-term financial plan to fund improvements to the system.
On June 9, 2010, the Department of Public Works issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for
Professional Services for the preparation of a Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan. The RFP was
sent to 17 firms, as well as advertised in The Sun Newspaper and posted with the San Bernardino
Area Chamber of Commerce. The following seven firms submitted proposals on September 30,
2010 in response to the RFP:
1. Tetra Tech, Inc. of Ontario, CA
2. Kennedy-Jenks Consultants of Irvine, CA
3. Infrastructure Engineering Corporation of Los Alamitos, CA
4. URS Corporation of Ontario, CA
5. AKM Consulting Engineers of Irvine, CA
6. CDM of Rancho Cucamonga, CA
7. Tran Consulting Engineers of San Diego, CA
After careful review of the proposals and interviews with the firms, the selection committee,
consisting of Nadeem Majaj, Director of Public Works, Robert Eisenbeisz, City Engineer, Robert
Sepulveda, Engineering Associate and Greg Gage, Water Department Engineering Manager,
determined that AKM Consulting Engineers of Irvine was the best qualified to provide the
requested services.
The selection process was completed on March 31, 2011, and consisted of the evaluation by the
committee of proposals and interviews with all seven firms. The evaluation process was
completed in accordance with the rating system approved by the Mayor and Common Council on
September 2, 2003 and considered such factors as similar project experience, qualifications of
City of San Bernardino —Request for Council Action
Staff Report(Continued)
personnel assigned to the project, references, ability to meet scheduling requirements, and
understanding of and interest in the project. It also included a discussion with the top-rated firm
to refine the proposed scope, schedule and fee for the project.
This project will require about 14 months to complete. Upon completion of the work, the City
will have an up-to-date Sewer Master Plan that will provide guidance to staff and developers as
to what improvements to the system are needed and the cost of those improvements. This Sewer
Master Plan is expected to meet the City's needs for at least 15 years.
Financial Impact:
Adequate funding is available to cover the cost of this Agreement in Account Nos. 245-160-
5504-7870-0025 and 132-160-5504-7870-0025 (Sewer Master Flan SW10-014).

EXPERIENCE:
Mr. Lenocker provides civil engineering and GIS consulting services to public agencies, specializing in water
resources projects as well as other engineering and GIS related projects. During the past five years his firm
has completed eight sewer GIS mapping systems containing over 1000 miles of pipes. Several projects
included the integration of the CCTV videos into the GIS system for easier reference.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of Fountain Valley - The City is approximately 9.9 square miles
and has a population of 57,000. There are 15,608 parcels in the City. This project included gathering all
of the sewer system data from existing maps and construction drawings. The GIS data was then shared
with AKM Consulting Engineers who ran a computer model and provided the master plan report. The
collected data and resulting model studies data were added to the entire system GIS.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of El Segundo - This was a joint project with AKM Consulting
Engineers. The field and office data was collected by AKM staff. Lenocker &Associates utilized the data
to create the city's first GIS. Uses include capital improvement projects and inventory for GASB-34. This
project resulted in the creation of a GIS with 1,139 pipe segments and 4,448 manholes.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS and Video Library for the City of Brea - Approximately 11 square miles and
has a population of 36,900. There are 11,638 parcels in the city. Responsible for the GIS component of
the Sewer Master Plan which included a complete hydraulic model to locate problem areas.The results
of the modeling and CAD maps were converted into a complete GIS system. A subsequent task
included linking the entire video library of the sewer system to the GIS. The GIS can now be used to
locate problem areas and then find the corresponding video tape to be played.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of Manhattan Beach — Encompasses an area of 4 square miles
and has a population of 33,800. There are 13,005 parcels in the City. This project was performed in
partnership with AKM Consulting Engineers who performed hydraulic modeling and prepared the Master
Plan report. Lenocker Consulting Group georeferenced the city's nearly 1000 scanned drawings, and
used them to collect the sewer data and create a geodatabase for the City. Although the city had a basic
GIS for the sewer system it was necessary to add extensive missing attributes, verify the system by using
the original drawings, and perform survey work for missing information. This project entailed 2,216 pipe
segments, 86 miles of sewer lines, 2,204 sewer manholes and 7,759 laterals

• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of La Habra — The City of La Habra is approximately 7.3 square
miles in size and has a population of 61,000. The sanitary sewer system GIS was prepared using as-built
drawings and existing atlas maps as a data source. The system was specifically tailored to the City's
requirements, including updating the City's atlas maps in both AutoCAD Map and ArcView file formats.
Quality control information was included for each data record in order to allow the source of all data to be
established and verified. In areas of missing information where certain assumptions were required for
successful operation of the hydraulic model, those assumptions were documented in a separate location
in the GIS database. Software was provided to automate the production of atlas map books, and trained
City staff to use the software. The final GIS included 2,783 pipe segments, 117 miles of sewer pipe and
2,729 sewer manholes
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of Norwalk — The city encompasses an area of 9.4 square miles
and has a population of 110,040. There are 26,881 parcels in the City. This project was performed in
partnership with AKM Consulting Engineers who performed hydraulic modeling and prepared the Master
Plan report. Lenocker Consulting Group made blueline copies of the City's drawings and used them to
collect the sewer data and create a geodatabase for the City. Data for Los Angeles County sewer lines
within the City were also collected and were symbolized differently on the hard copy maps. The GIS
included rectifacating of an existing AutoCAD drawing and then reviewing every design drawing and
adding all the attributes for the sewer system. The System consists of 3,563 pipe segments, 162 miles of
sewer lines and 3,813 sewer manholes.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of Cypress—This project converting the existing city CAD drawings
to a GIS and adding all of the attributes from the original design drawings. The length of the completed
sewer GIS system was 16.3 miles and consisted of 2,344 pipe segment and 2,403 manholes.
• Sewer Master Plan GIS for the City of Alhambra-The City is approximately 7.65 square miles and has
a population of 86,000. There are 15,422 parcels in the city. This project was performed in conjunction
with AKM Consulting Engineers. Lenocker Consulting Group created a sewer GIS to use as input data
for the hydraulic modeling, and for integration into the City's existing GIS system. The features and
attributes were obtained from the existing atlas maps and record drawings. The specific features for the
sewer GIS included the pipes, manholes, cleanouts, facilities, and drainage boundaries. The City required
laterals to be included in the GIS as well as street address ranges. Deliverables included map books and

• City of Inglewood - Sewer GIS - This was a joint project with AKM. The project team developed the
sewer GIS from as built drawings, supplemented by field surrey work. The sewer GIS was then used in
developing the system hydraulic model. The city The City of encompasses an area of 9.1 square miles
and has a population of 112,580. There are 26,839 parcels in the City. This project was performed in
partnership with AKM Consulting Engineers who performed hydraulic modeling and prepared the Master
Plan report. Lenocker Consulting Group made blueline copies of the City's drawings and used them to
collect the sewer data and create a geodatabase for the City. Data for Los Angeles County sewer lines
within the City were also collected and were symbolized differently on the hard copy maps. The final GIS
included 170 miles of sewer lines, 3,623 pipe segments and 3,577sewer manholes
• City of Laguna Beach — Water Quality GIS Enhancements - This project involved the addition of
features and facilities to the City's Sewer GIS to assist in planning and managing water quality resources.
New map features were created to represent monitoring locations, storm drain diversions, and CDS
systems. Existing sewer system and pump station GIS data were updated with design data from recent
improvement projects. CAD drawings of the pump stations were converted to PDF format and linked to
the GIS. Digital photos of each pump station were also linked to the GIS. Deliverables included 11"x17"
waterproof map books for their Public Works maintenance workers. The project updated 283 sewer
structures, and added 593 pipe segments, 15 CDS units, 26 pump stations, 21 monitoring stations and
25 spill-tracking stations.
• City of Rosemead - NPDES Compliance Using Customized Applications for ArcPad GIS - Lenocker
& Associates developed the basemap and some utility maps for the city. Using a proprietary written
program running on an iPaq handheld computer the city staff can go and inspect businesses for illegal
storm drain connections. The data is automatically captured on the handheld device using simple pull
down menus. A map of the locations is also created which can be downloaded in the office to produce a
map of these illegal connections. This GIS solution is expected to save hundreds of man-hours of work
and manual data entry.

Pump Station No. 4 was originally constructed in 1964 and was rehabilitated in 1982. It is located entirely
below street level at the northeast corner of Holly Avenue and Kansas Street. It is a wet well/dry well station
with a reinforced concrete rectangular structure. The dry well houses two 1400 gpm, 60-HP WEMCO Torque
Flow pumps. The tributary area is a mixture of commercial, industrial, and residential land uses. The Master
Plan estimated the ultimate peak wet weather flow at 1210 gpm, including 350 gpm from Pump Station No. 9,
which discharges directly to the facility.
The existing equipment was old, and spare parts were difficult to find. During shutdowns, the wet well filled
and sewage overflowed into the dry well. The wet well was small and did not allow sufficient response time,
prior to overflowing, in the event of a failure. While the mechanical equipment had been reliable, the area is
prone to frequent disruptions in the commercial power services. To provide response time during such an
outage, enlarging the wet well, and locating a standby diesel generator at the site were recommended.
AKM prepared a preliminary design report, follow up final design, and construction support services for the
project. The final design consisted of constructing a supplemental 40,000 gallon wet well to provide one-hour
peak flow storage, a standby emergency generator, and upgrading of the pumps, motors, piping, valving, wet
well, and the drywell.

AKM prepared a preliminary design report, (PDR) and construction documents, and provided construction
management services for upgrading the Boeing Pump Station. The old facility was wet well/dry well type,
constructed in 1962 to service the North American Aviation Plant (now Boeing). The pump station had
inadequate wet well capacity; structurally deficient walls which had moved inward; infiltration into the dry well;
corroded and outdated mechanical and electrical equipment; lack of ventilation; no emergency power; and no
SCADA or dialer system to report alarms.
The PDR compared various pump station alternatives (submersible, wet well/dry well, wet well mounted, and
self-priming), and provided recommendations for the design of the new facility. The report included a flow
study which concluded that the capacity of the new station could be significantly reduced from 2,000-gpm to
500-gpm. Final plans for the submersible pump station included two 500-gpm, 10-HP pumps, 100 kW natural
gas emergency generator; new controls, including a dialer system for notifying staff in the event of a failure;
valve vault and piping; and a construction phasing plan which allowed the existing pump station to remain in
service until the new facility was completed and operationally tested. Emergency wet well storage of one
hour peak wet weather flow was provided to allow response time in case of a mechanical failure. AKM
provided construction management and inspection services,facility testing, and final acceptance.

AKM Proposal No. 10-1070
SECT/ON 4 project Approach and Scope of Work
1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
1.1 BACKGROUND
The City of San Bernardino (City) is located approximately 60 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
Bordering cities include Highland and Redlands to the east, Colton and Loma Linda to the south, and Rialto to
the West. The San Bernardino National Forest borders the City to the north. The City's current population is
approximately 204,800 (Ref.• California Department of Finance, 2010).
The sewer service area generally encompasses 60 square miles within the City's corporate boundaries.
There are some County areas that use the City's sewer mains and some portions of the City are served by
the East Valley Water District. A small portion of parcels also have its own septic tanks.
The sewer collection system consists of approximately 464 miles of gravity sewer pipelines ranging in
diameter from 4-inches to 54-inches. The majority of the gravity pipes are vitrified clay pipe. There are also
several sewer siphons (total of 19 per the 2002 Master Plan) within the system and the City owns and
operates 13 sewage pump stations and their associated force mains.
The City's Water Department has operated the City of San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) since
1973. The WRP is a regional secondary treatment facility with a rated capacity of 33 million gallons per day
(mgd). The WRP provides treatment services for the City of San Bernardino, Loma Linda, East Valley, San
Bernardino International Airport, Patton State Hospital, and unincorporated San Bernardino County areas.
The cities of San Bernardino and Colton jointly operate a tertiary treatment facility, the Rapid Infiltration and
Extraction (RIX) facility. Secondary treated wastewater from the WRP is discharged to this tertiary facility
where the final filtering and disinfecting process takes place. The RIX facility has been in operation since
1996.
1.2 PREVIOUS STUDIES
The City's existing Sewer Master Plan was prepared in 2002. It included a hydraulic model of the collection
system with pipes greater than 8-inch diameter. The total pipe length modeled was 142 miles. The model
was created in MWH Soft's H2OMap Version 2.5. The City's year 2002 population was approximately
191,527 (Ref.• California Department of Finance, 2002). Criteria for capacity evaluation was d/D = 0.50 for
pipes less than 15-inches in diameter and d/D =0.75 for pipes 15-inches in diameter and greater.
In June 2006, the City completed a Sewer Segment Capacity Evaluations study at seven specific locations
within the system. A hydraulic analysis of existing and future conditions was completed and
recommendations for upgrades were made. Flow monitoring was conducted at thirteen locations to verify
existing flows, velocities, and depths. Future flows were estimated based on the City's revised General Plan
land use projections and unit flow factors from the City's Sewer Policies and Procedures publication. Three
segments of sewer pipe were determined to be capacity deficient and in need of upgrades. The total cost of
the upgrades was estimated to be between $727,300 and $979,800.

Project Approach and Scope of Work
It is our understanding that the City has completed about 550,000 feet of CCTV inspections but that the
quality of the videos is uncertain. The City has said that the consultant should not rely on any of the
inspections for this project.
1.3 PURPOSE
The City of San Bernardino desires to prepare a sewer master plan, which will:
➢ Develop an up to date inventory of the assets by updating and expanding the Sewer GIS
➢ Develop proper service criteria and operation and maintenance procedures
➢ Evaluate the hydraulic capacity of its system and the ability of the system to handle the ultimate peak
wet weather flows from the service area
➢ Evaluate the condition of its pump stations, as well as representative portions of the collection system
➢ Produce a master plan document that will guide the operation and maintenance of the existing
system
➢ Ascertain compliance with existing standards and regulations such as State Water Resources Control
Board's Order No. 2006.003 and GASB 34, and prepare for upcoming ones, such as Capacity
Management Operation and Maintenance (CMOM).
➢ Develop a prioritized Capital Improvement Program with cost estimates to ensure reliable and
uninterrupted wastewater service
➢ Provide a wastewater revenue and financing plan to support existing and future sewer maintenance
and capital needs
➢ Provide proper service at a reasonable cost
2. PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK
The City of San Bernardino's scope of work included in the Request for Proposals is very detailed, and
describes the work that needs to be performed to accomplish its goal. This scope of work (and its
clarifications) is acknowledged in its entirety. In this section, we provide a description of our approach to
undertaking the various tasks to deliver the desired results in an efficient manner. Our approach is based
upon our extensive experience in delivering high quality work within schedule and budget. The flow chart
illustrated on Page 4-3 summarizes the key elements of a sewer master plan study.

information that has not yet been recorded into the City's Sewer GIS and atlas sheets by reviewing
sewer as-built drawings. City staff will assist with identifying system information not yet recorded and
provide copies of the as-built drawings. It is estimated that 300 as-built sheets will need to be
reviewed. The cost for this task is based upon review of the estimated 300 sheets of drawings.
Our proposal does not include the task of adding additional data to the Sewer GIS such as date of
construction because in order to do this, every single as-built drawing would have to be reviewed.
The current Master Plan budget does not allow for this type of work.

AKM Proposal No. 10-1070 R 5 16 11
Project Approach and Scope of Work
We will compare the City's sewer system database(s) and other current system data for accuracy,
particularly elevation datums, and report errors to the City. Upon preliminary review of the City's
existing Sewer GIS, we have found the following error/omissions:
Pipes—8,073 Pipe Segments,459 miles
➢ 89 missing pipe ID
➢ 50 missing upstream and/or downstream manhole ID
➢ 282 missing diameter
➢ 917 missing upstream and/or downstream elevation or elevation seems incorrect (looks like
typo or results in adverse slope)
Manholes—8,056 Manholes
➢ 470 missing bottom elevation
➢ 504 missing rim elevation
Some errors appear to be data input errors that can reasonably be corrected by studying the data in
upstream and downstream pipes or by review of as-built plans. Other errors and omissions will have
to be completed by survey measurements if as-built plans are not available. We anticipate that the
number of manholes in need of survey measurement will range from 700 to 1000. The City will obtain
the missing information through record search or field surveying, and provide it to AKM
Build and Calibrate Sewer Model
Model Software—We will utilize our in-house MWH Soft's InfoSewer Suite. The scope of work does
not include purchasing the model for the City.
Geometric Model- We will utilize the updated sewer system database and GIS (prepared as a part
of Task 2.1.A) as the basis of the hydraulic model. The computer model shall include all City sewer
pipes (excluding laterals and private lines), manholes, pump stations, force mains, large point source
flows and tributary area boundaries. Although the RFP asks for modeling of the "backbone" system,
we propose to model all pipes in the system in order to fully comply with the Statewide General
Waste Discharge Requirements. We feel it is important to model the entire system in case a future
spill should occur, so that the City can show its due diligence in previously analyzing the hydraulic
capacity of the system.
We will delineate the tributary area to nearly every manhole using the Theissen Polygons method. If
manholes are clustered together in one area, only one tributary area will be created. The tributary
area, along with unit flow factors or point sources for high sewage generators will be used to calculate
the average flow tributary to each manhole.
Flow Monitoring-We will establish the flow monitoring program following review of the existing GIS.
It is important to place the flow monitors in areas where there is sufficient flow depth that can be
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO 4-5
Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan Proposal gzi
AKM Proposal No. 10-1070 R 5 16 11
Project Approach and Scope of Work
accurately measured by the flow monitoring equipment. This requires sufficiently large tributary areas
and sewers with milder slopes. The results of flow monitoring at sites with smaller tributary areas and
steeper slopes are generally not dependable, and cannot be used for developing unit flow factors or
for model calibration. We will discuss the flow monitoring with the City's engineering and O&M staff
to select the most beneficial sites. We anticipate installing some of the flow monitors in the sewers
downstream of the pump stations to assess the effect of the pumped flows in these sewers,
particularly during the wet weather periods.
Our scope of work does not include wet weather flow monitoring. We will use the pump station flows
and treatment plant flows developed from SCADA data during the wet weather periods to estimate
the wet weather flows.
We will request that the City clean the sewers upstream and downstream of the flow monitoring
locations prior to installations to minimize the impact of debris or other accumulations in the system
on the flow monitoring results. In our proposal, we have assumed the need for 25 flow monitors for 2
weeks to capture dry weather data.
We propose to perform sufficient flow monitoring to develop unit flow factors for Low Density and
Medium Density land uses. We will delineate the tributary areas for key manholes, by land use
category and monitor the flows at these locations. The wastewater generation rates for other land
uses (high density residential, commercial, industrial, schools) will be primarily developed from water
use records, as well as the flow monitoring results at the calibration locations. Calibration locations
will cover larger tributary sewersheds with multiple land uses. An exact determination of monitoring
locations cannot be made without a field review of each individual site. A site selected in the office
may not be ideal for monitoring due to unfavorable hydraulic conditions, traffic hazards, manhole
access restraints, and unexpected low flows in the pipe, and low flow depth.
We will analyze existing and anticipated land uses within the City, in accordance with the General
' Plan and develop unit flow factors accordingly for existing and ultimate development conditions.
Ultimate unit flow factors will include allowances for existing vacancies. The unit flow factors
developed will be utilized along with corresponding areas to estimate the average dry weather flows.
Peaking relationships will be developed from flow monitoring and based upon our experience. They
will be proposed as part of the criteria that will be utilized for determining the peak dry and wet
weather flows. The flow monitoring results will be utilized in calibrating the model.
Peaking Relationships - We will develop the dry weather peaking relationships from the flow
monitoring information for several sewersheds in the service area. If sufficient wet weather data can
be collected, we will attempt at developing a wet weather peaking relationship as well. Otherwise, we
will recommend a relationship to the City, as described above, for use in the hydraulic model.
Model Calibration - We will utilize the flow monitoring information and SCADA data from the pump
stations to calibrate the model with the existing system and existing land use. Calibration work will be
performed with the peak dry weather flows and peak wet weather flows. Calibration will first involve
matching the model average and peak flows to the flow monitoring results. Unit flow factors and
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO 4-6
Comprehensive Sewer Master Plan Proposal
AKM Proposal No. 10-1070 R 5 16 11
Project Approach and Scope of Work
peaking relationships will be adjusted until a close match is obtained. We will then compare the
model flow depths to the flow monitoring flow depths. It is pointed out that the hydraulic model
geometry is a representation of the as built system. As such, the friction factor (usually Manning's
"n") used in the model represents the general conditions for the reach of sewer upstream of the flow
monitoring site. There are several conditions, such as sags, offset joints, roots, and debris, which
may cause backwater in the pipe. It may not be possible to achieve the desired accuracy at such
locations without using unusual friction factors. As described above, to eliminate this possibility, we
will request that the City clean the pipes upstream and downstream of the flow monitoring locations
prior to the installation of the monitors. If available, we will review the most recent CCTV records of
these reaches to assess whether there are any conditions that may affect the flow monitoring data,
and to develop insight into the possible flow conditions from high water marks. We will then make
reasonable adjustments to the friction factors to obtain close match between the model results and
the flow monitoring results.
We will generate dry weather peaking criteria based upon the diurnal flows recorded by the flow
monitors. It is anticipated that different peaking relationships will be used for the various sewersheds
to reflect their specific conditions.
B. Analyze the Current Sewer System
Collection System Hydraulic Analysis - We will review and update the City's criteria for depth to
diameter ratios, such as for pipes 15-inch and smaller, and 18-inch and larger. The selected peak
wet weather flow should be conveyed in the pipe at a depth to diameter ratio of 0.80 or less, which is
in the stable flow zone.
The analyses conducted with the peak dry weather and wet weather flows for calibrating the model
will constitute existing system analysis. We will identify the deficiencies based on the criteria
selected, and formulate replacement and/or relief projects to mitigate the capacity deficiencies.
Depending on the location of the calculated deficiencies, we may request additional flow monitoring to
verify the calculated deficiencies.
Collection System Condition Analysis—We will review the conditions of the existing system, such
as age, problem areas, and sewer overflow history to determine the areas of immediate concern that
should be CCTV inspected. We will then identify additional areas to be CCTV inspected that will
provide a representative sampling of the entire system. This will allow us to extrapolate the results to
the remainder of the system when developing the Capital Improvement Program and financial
analysis. This proposal includes a budget to CCTV inspect approximately 120,000 feet of sewer pipe.
The following assumptions apply to the cost estimates provided for CCTV inspections:
1. Cleaning will be conducted by the City
2. Inspections of pipes greater than 36-inches will be conducted by Video Inspection Specialists
by floating camera method

Project Approach and Scope of Work
3. Traffic control will be in accordance with latest Watch Manual
4. Plugging and bypassing of flows is not included
5. Permits, fees, and traffic plan costs are not included
CCTV inspections will be performed using the National Association of Sewer Service Companies
(NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program (PACP) guidelines. We will prepare a
database summarizing the findings of CCTV reports and recordings. At a minimum, the database will
include the following:
➢ DVD Number
➢ Inspection Number
➢ Inspection Location
➢ Inspection Date
➢ Manhole Identification Numbers
➢ Pipe Identification Numbers
➢ Direction of Camera during Inspection
➢ Size of Pipe
➢ Material of Pipe
➢ Length of Pipe
➢ Number of Occurrences of Each Structural and Operation and Maintenance Deficiency
The CCTV recordings will be prioritized per the database summary. Although each reach is given a
condition grade per the PACP standards, we will also base our prioritization on the type and number
of defects identified in each recording. The pipes that are believed to be at higher risk of collapse and
blockages, and therefore have a greater potential for causing a sanitary sewer overflow will be given
the highest priority. For example, a pipe with a severe structural defect such as broken pipe, a hole in
the pipe, or a large joint offset might be given a higher priority than a pipe with many other less
severe defects such as cracks or fractures.
Operation and maintenance (O&M) defects such as grease, roots, and deposits will be considered
separately. Often times, these defects will require additional cleaning or root cutting, but will not
necessarily need replacement. Additional hotspots will be identified for the City's review.
Based on the prioritized database, we will select representative reaches of the system to review the
CCTV recordings in detail to ensure compliance with CCTV standards and procedures and further
prioritize the sewers for replacement and/or repair. We do not anticipate that all the CCTV
recordings will have to be reviewed in detail. Based on our experience, we expect to review up to 25

percent of the pipe reaches inspected. This amount may increase or decrease following review of the
CCTV reports. We will verify the completeness of the inspection reports, and update the inspection
database. The work effort and its corresponding cost will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of
reaches reviewed in detail.
We will develop a rating system to identify and prioritize the condition deficiencies, therefore
identifying the critical sewer mains in need of replacement, rehabilitation and/or repair. The focus will
be on sewer pipes that are at risk of collapse or prone to more frequent blockages.
For each of the identified condition deficiencies, we will formulate constructible mitigation projects,
and develop an engineer's cost estimate. The cost estimates will be based primarily upon the actual
bid results from recent similar projects completed by AKM for its clients, as well as those obtained
from other agencies. The estimates will include the construction cost, as well as design, inspection,
administration costs and contingencies.
Pump Stations Hydraulic Analysis - Pump station criteria will be established for wet well capacity,
pump capacity, number of pumps, storage, emergency power, and other redundancies to minimize
the possibility of overflows. We will evaluate all City owned sewer pump stations. This work will
include review of construction plans, design calculations, pump curves, shop drawings, SCADA data,
and maintenance records, as well as a thorough field review. If the pump stations have flow meters,
we will utilize the information from the flow meters for capacity analysis, as well as the adequacy of
the wet wells to preclude frequent cycling of the equipment. We will also analyze each pump station
for average, peak dry weather, and peak wet weather capacity. We will then determine if the
appropriate level of redundancy as well as emergency wet well capacity is available to avoid
overflows. We will determine if each of the pump stations meet the criteria established and current
industry standards. We will then make recommendations for bringing them up to current standards.
We will also interview the City's engineering and O&M staff to develop insight into the existing
facilities.
The recommended criterion for capacity will be that the firm capacity of the pump station (capacity
with the largest pump out of service) equal or exceed the selected peak wet weather flow. We will
calculate the peak wet weather flow tributary to the pump stations with the built-out land use, and
assess if the pump stations have adequate capacity. We will make recommendations for capacity
improvements, if necessary. We will check the wet well capacity and pump cycling, and provide
recommendations for improvements as necessary.
Pump Station Condition Analysis — We will visit each pump station and conduct a thorough
inspection, documenting all necessary information for evaluating their condition. We will collect
nameplate information, if available. Other recommendations will be based upon the condition of the
dry well, wet well, and equipment, maintainability, redundancy, and the other factors listed above.
Following review by the City, we will finalize the recommendations for the collection system and pump
stations. We will develop a prioritized list of capital improvement projects along with project

Project Approach and Scope of Work
implementation costs. The capital improvement project locations will be documented and mapped in
the final master plan report.
Inflow and Infiltration - Inflow and infiltration (I&I) studies are needed to assess the sources and
quantities of extraneous flows into the wastewater collection system. This information is then used in
establishing capacity criteria in accordance with the Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR).
Currently, there is no set standard for wet weather flows. Some agencies use inflow and infiltration
resulting from a 10-year 24-hour storm as their standard. However, unless precisely such an event
occurs and is monitored in the system, its impact on the system cannot be properly estimated. The
more appropriate storm duration may be the time of concentration within the system.
If accurate SCADA information is available from the City's pump stations and treatment plant, along
with corresponding rainfall information, we can review past flows during significant storm events to
estimate inflow and infiltration, and to establish wet weather flow criteria. Otherwise, we will initially
recommend a wet weather flow criterion to the City based upon the data collected under Task 2.1.6
and our experience. Areas found to have excessive I&I will be reported. Projects will be proposed to
reduce I&I in the system as well.
C. Analyze Future System Growth Alternatives
We will gather planning data and demographics from the City's planning department as well as
outside sources such and the California Department of Finance and Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) which both provide population data. In cooperation with City staff, we will
run the model to analyze the sewer system capacity for different predicted growth scenarios
(maximum 4 scenarios), showing the level of growth that the system can accommodate. The
following four scenarios are anticipated to be developed:
1. Existing Conditions
2. Intermediate Conditions, assuming 10-years of growth
3. Intermediate Conditions, assuming 20-years of growth
4. Build-out Conditions
Improvement projects or system expansions will be recommended for the ultimate build-out
conditions. We will conduct hydraulic analyses to verify the adequacy of the improvements
developed by the existing system analyses, and update them as necessary. Available sewer-reserve
peak flow capacity and peak flows that will trigger the need for new pipes will be identified. Full data
conditions, results, and maps of each model run will be included in the final report.
D. Develop Capital Facilities Project Implementation Program
The collection system and pump station hydraulic analyses and condition assessments will form the
basis of the City's 20-year Sewer Capital Improvement Program. A rating system will be developed

to prioritize improvements to the sewer system. We will work with City staff to develop a short-term
and long-term Capital Improvement Plan. The highest priorities will be given to verified capacity
deficiencies and structural defects that may fail and cause overflows.
We will prepare current cost estimates for all recommended improvement projects and wastewater
system programs (i.e. Activities related to complying with the Statewide General Waste Discharge
Requirements). An estimate of the replacement value of the entire wastewater system will also be
provided. Inflation adjusted budgets for each recommended project will also be developed to assist in
the financial analysis (Scope of Work C).
E. Documentation and Presentation
Master Plan - The work effort and the results will be presented in a Master Plan report. At a
minimum, the report will include: Executive Summary, Introduction, Study Area, Criteria, Existing
System, Ultimate System, System Analyses, and Capital Improvement Program.
The report will also include clear exhibits of appropriate scale to illustrate the data used, analyses
performed, and the recommendations. Appendices will include the backup information utilized in
formulating the recommended improvements.
Five (5) draft copies of the report will be submitted for City review. Following the incorporation of City
staff comments, the final report will be provided in both hard copy (10) and electronic formats to the
City. The electronic copy will be on compact discs and will include all reports, digital database
products or other documentation that is made throughout the project.
Our proposal also includes time for one meeting with the City Manager and two presentations to be
made to the City Council of the study findings.
City's Development Guidelines, Public Works Standards and Capital Improvement Plan —We
will review the City's Development Guidelines, Public Works Standards, and Capital Improvement
Plan process. We will document improvement recommendations for each. We will assist in any other
required documentation related to this input.

we will evaluate pump capacities and efficiencies.
B. Analyze Current Resource Levels
We will examine the current resources and management organization of the sewer collections and
maintenance operation. We will compare the City's resources with agencies of similar size and type.
We will recommend optimum resource levels (personnel and equipment) and training needs.
C. Analyze Level of Services
We will examine current core services and the level of each service. We will recommend options for
alternative levels of service, including out-sourcing. In cooperation with City staff, we will develop
resource needs, including assets, staff and funds for each service and recommend optimum levels.
We will compare the City's level of service with a minimum of six agencies of similar size and type.
We will also develop a marginal cost-of-service study by type of operation, such as cost of root
treatment, lining, and/or cleaning per foot of pipe.
D. Develop Standards and Procedures for Operations
We will document and develop maintenance standards and best practices procedures for each
existing core service. We will develop a budget for each procedure, including fixed and variable costs
and options for when a service can be contracted out. We will ensure that any procedural or policy
recommendations are consistent with current legislation, regulations, and guidelines.
E. Develop and Implement Maintenance Schedules
We will examine preventative and routine maintenance service needs and current practices. We will
recommend regular maintenance schedules and resource levels for each activity. The preventative
operations and maintenance recommendations will focus on portions of the system that need
frequent attention (hot spots), CCTV inspections of pipes, visual inspections of manholes, cleaning of
the collection system, and inspection and maintenance of pump stations. We will document all
findings and recommendations.
F. Analyze O&M Data Management
We will examine the City's work-order system, record keeping practices, report requirements,
information needs, management and flow of information. We will recommend improvements to assist
City operations staff.
G. Public Outreach and Education
We will review the City's current levels of public outreach related to the sewer system. We will
evaluate its effectiveness of the current public outreach program and its needs for improvement. We
will review the means available to the City for communicating with the public about the sewer system
and the City's Sewer System Management Plan. These may include bill stuffers, local television,

environmental protection.
2.3 SCOPE OF WORK C: SEWER UTILITY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The scope of work developed by the City for this task is acknowledged in its entirety. We provide our
approach to completing this work in the following:
A. Establish Fiscal Working Assumptions and Basic Policies
Under this task, we will prepare an initial memorandum addressing the seven subtasks listed in the
request for proposals, and submit it to the City for review. We will then hold a meeting to discuss
each item. We will then update the memorandum, which will form the basis of subsequent analyses.
Several of these tasks, such as demographics and population growth rates will be completed during
the preparation of the Master Plan. We anticipate utilizing sewage generation rate by the single
family residential land use category as the as the equivalent residential unit. This is the method used
by the City of Los Angeles, as well as numerous other agencies. Depth limits will depend upon the
capital improvement program needs and how they will be funded-pay as you go or combination pay
as you go and pay as you use. Projects for new developments can be paid for through connection
fees, which should be established as part of this work.
We will most likely recommend a sewer fund structure consisting of operation and maintenance, and
capital improvement funds. Operation and maintenance, which will include regulatory compliance,
can be funded through fixed charges, while the capital assigned based on ERU's, and capital
improvements can be funded through a combination of quantity charges, connection fees, and
bonded indebtedness. We will recommend reserve limits for the operation and maintenance fund,
and the capital improvement fund. Debt reserves must meet the bond requirements.
During this task, we will work closely with the City staff to establish these working assumptions and
basic policies.

Project Approach and Scope of Work
B. Revenues and Cost-of-Service Study
In completing this task, we will request the past three audited financial records, and the current
budget. We will review the operation of the system following development of adequate information,to
identify whether it would be necessary to evaluate charges based on factors other than sewage flow
generation. This will be done on a sewershed by sewershed basis. This task will include a
comparison of the City's sewage treatment costs to other similar agency costs, as well as the cost of
services with other jurisdictions. In cooperation with City staff, we will develop policies for optimal
levels of service.
C. Level of Service Analysis and Options
This task will be performed as described in the request for proposals.
D. Capital-Construction Projects Funding Requirements
The sewer charges have to fairly and equitably meet all obligations of the sewer utility without
dependence on the General Fund. They have to support the utility as an enterprise. Accordingly, the
issues previously discussed under Task A have to be properly completed. Capital improvement cost
estimates have to be accurate for not only the current economic conditions, but also in the future, and
have to include adequate level of contingencies so that they address the needs adequately.
Similarly, connection fees must be determined accurately so that new development's fair share for
system expansions and contribution to capacity enhancements can be secured.
E. Analyze Future Revenue Needs of the Sewer Utility
In performing the financial evaluation of the sewer utility, we will review the existing expenditures, and
identify future expenditures including those needed for regulatory compliance, and due to system
expansion. Staffing needs will be reviewed and recommendations will be made for adjustments to
provide the selected level of service to be provided. Revenue requirements will be based upon this,
as well as the capital improvement program recommended by the master plan. Utility's financial
security is dependent on developing accurate expenditures for the services, and formulating a fair
and equitable rate structure to generate the needed revenues. We will prepare a financial model in
Microsoft Excel, detailing all the expenditures and revenues. Alternative revenue scenarios will be
developed and evaluated. These will be reviewed by City staff to select the desired revenue
alternative.
As requested, we will work with City staff to identify if efficiencies can be realized in contracting out
some services.
F. Recommend Fiscal Policy Changes
The work required by this item is mostly covered in the other tasks, and will be completed as
requested.

G. Recommend, Revise,and Defend New Fee(Rates) Structure
We will review the existing rate structure and recommend revisions to fairly and adequately recover
the cost of all services from the users of the system, and provide the needed balances. The rate
structure and the rates have to be defendable, and the process must meet the requirements of
Proposition 218. As requested, we have budgeted attending up to two (2) public and committee
meetings to describe and defend the rate recommendations.
H. Documentation and Presentations
The work of this task will be presented in a separate report with appropriate tables, figures, and
