PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

PISMO BEACH COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Agenda Item #7.D

SUBJECT/TITLE: AGREEMENT FOR ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE PISMO BEACH REGIONAL GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION: Waive the reading of, and adopt, a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. for engineering consulting services for the Pismo Beach Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program in the amount of $799,017 and transferring various Water Enterprise Fund project accounts to the Pismo Beach Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program project account. BACKGROUND: In April 2015, the City Council reviewed the City’s Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study and during this meeting the Council recommended moving forward with a potential recycled water project utilizing full advanced treatment with direct ground water recharge with inland injection wells. The goals of this project were established as the following: • Offset some potable water uses • Further diversify the City’s water supply portfolio • Provide a new source of recharge to the groundwater basin • Relieve possible future increased water demand • Develop a viable recycled water project • Secure outside funding and/or financing

The April 2015 Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study also provided an implementation plan and a construction financing plan. The next steps moving forward are: • Environmental (California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)/National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)) • Permitting • Preliminary Planning and Final Design • Coordination and Governance • Public Outreach On October 20, 2015, City Council authorized a contract with SWCA Environmental Consultants for the preparation of environmental studies and coordination with regulatory agencies to obtain the required permitting. Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Consulting Services for the Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program on October 10, 2015. Two proposals were received and opened on October 3, 2015. The proposals were evaluated by a review panel, and the proposal from Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) (Attachment 2) was selected by the panel based on the following:

• Understanding of the scope of work to be performed

Item 7.D Pg. 1CCA-2015-12-15

• Methods, schedule and procedures to be used • Management, personnel and experience • Consultation and coordination with the City of Pismo Beach

WSC has four office locations, with their corporate headquarters located in San Luis Obispo. Staff has met with the company’s President, who is based in the San Luis Obispo office, and determined that WSC’s staffing capabilities are in line with our needs for the project. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement (Attachment 3) with WSC for Engineering Consulting Services for the Pismo Beach Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program project. FISCAL IMPACT: The total amount of the agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. for engineering consulting services for the Pismo Beach Regional Groundwater Sustainability Program is $799,017. The project is broken into two categories program management services and preliminary engineering. Program management services for $411,832 includes coordinating with City staff as well as our regional partners, updates to the City Council, outreach support, including stakeholder outreach, community workshops, environmental consultant management, water rights support and funding and financing support. Preliminary Engineering for $387,185 includes all necessary work to prepare a 10% design, sufficient for environmental permitting, site layout and process design. There are no funds budgeted for this agreement. Since this project is an important step toward the Council’s goal of a sustainable water supply, staff recommends that other water project budgets be used for this project. The City Council has previously authorized staff to expend funds allocated to the Shell Beach I Reservoir Maintenance project, as that project is on hold pending the drought. Staff has also identified the Pacific Estates Reservoir project as an additional source of funds for this project. It is anticipated that staff will request Council to authorize the reimbursement of these funds by the allocations for an additional production well, as that project will be incorporated into the ultimate Recycled Water Project. In addition, two projects that are complete that have savings that could be used for this project include the Heights Waterline project and the Water and Wastewater Rate Study project. Details of the amounts from each project are provided below. Please note that the Shell Beach I Reservoir and Pacific Estates Reservoir projects are no longer funded. Budgeted funds available $0 WSC Contract $799,017 Budget Deficit $799,017 Transfer From: Shell Beach I Reservoir Maintenance Fund $311,852 Pacific Estates Reservoir Project Account $480,000 Heights Waterline Project Savings $2,790 Water and Wastewater Rate Study Project Savings $4,375

Item 7.D Pg. 2CCA-2015-12-15

Balance (Deficit/Surplus) $0

Beginning in January 2016, staff expects to form a governance committee and hold a governance kickoff meeting. It is expected that at that meeting, the committee would discuss project reimbursement. It is staff’s expectation that all Northern Cities Management Area regional partners who wish to benefit from this project would pay their proportional cost of this project, based on the water allocation they would receive from the project, for all expenses after the City Council’s adoption of the Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study. This would include the environmental work being performed by SWCA as well as the contract with WSC that Council is considering tonight.

ALTERNATIVES: 1. Direct staff to not award contract; provide direction on how to proceed.

SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE PISMO BEACH REGIONAL GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

Dear Ben,

This is an historic moment for the City of Pismo Beach and your NCMA partners. For decades, the residents, businesses and farmers of the Northern Cities have benefited from the planning, investment and stewardship of its past and present water managers. The Lopez project, Gentlemen’s Agreement, State Water Project connection, and court affirmed groundwater rights are just a few of the most prominent examples of the vision and leadership that the Northern Cities agencies have shown to secure sustainable water supplies for the region. The Regional Groundwater Sustainability (RGS) Project is the next chapter of that legacy, and represents an opportunity to permanently protect the region’s groundwater from the threat of seawater intrusion. We understand the incredible significance of this project, and are committed to working with you to make it a reality.

Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) and Carollo Engineers (Carollo) have teamed to become your engineering and program management partner for this critical project. We believe our team offers several unique benefits when compared to our competition, including:

Unmatched local knowledge and relevant expertise. The RGS Project is multi-faceted and complex, spans multiple jurisdictions, is regulated by several permitting agencies and is precedent-setting on the Central Coast. To be successful, the City needs an engineering partner who has a thorough understanding of the local environment, established relationships and reputation with the regulatory agencies, and extensive directly relevant experience. The WSC team combines all of these characteristics, and is prepared to leverage these strengths to lead this project to success.

Unique insight and value-added approach. Our team has analyzed this project extensively, and we bring unique insight to help improve and/or expedite the project. This proposal outlines several of our team’s thoughts and ideas, including expected benefits for the City to consider. We look forward to continuing working with the City and its partners to enhance the project by reducing cost, reducing risk, improving schedule and/or expanding the project yield.

Strong reputation and relationships with project stakeholders. WSC has been collaborating with the City and the NCMA agencies for years, and we have built strong relationships based on trust, accountability, responsiveness and value. We bring credibility and commitment to help move this project forward, and our record of performance shows that we consistently deliver.

Deep resources and proven program management capabilities. The WSC-Carollo team provides the City access to the deep resource pool of our combined firms. Our team includes local and nationally recognized experts, and highly qualified technical specialists to address any issue that may arise on the project. The City can have confidence that our team has the resources necessary to deliver this project successfully.

Qualifications


Carollo Engineers Carollo is an environmental engineering firm specializing in the planning, design, and construction management of water and wastewater treatment facilities, and is one of the largest firms in the United States dedicated solely to water and wastewater. Since its founding in 1933, the firm has successfully completed more than 20,000 projects for public agencies, governmental agencies, and private firms.

Carollo has provided engineering services for dozens of planning-level water reuse studies and designed many of the reuse systems prevalent in the West today. Altogether, they have served agencies currently using more than 30 billion gallons of recycled water each year. Much of their experience has been in the planning and design of facilities to meet regulatory requirements, and have been at the forefront of potable reuse across the U.S. Their body of work in this area has shaped the regulatory framework and continues to push the boundaries to find lower cost water purification that is protective of public health. Currently, Carollo is operating active pilot plants across the country, and guiding state and federal regulators through this new field.

Potable reuse has quickly become a viable option for many communities in the West, fueled in part by severe and extended drought, technology developments, and increasing public acceptance. Potable reuse is a game-changer for this industry, and Carollo is home to the nation’s preeminent potable reuse experts. Adequately assessing the technical and non-technical elements of potable reuse is not something “anyone” can do, and it’s not to be taken lightly—but there is no need to start from scratch. Carollo will leverage their national potable reuse work to bring viable solutions to the City of Pismo Beach.

Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study City of Pismo Beach, CA

Program Overview WSC prepared a Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study (RWFPS) for the City of Pismo Beach to investigate several alternatives to put recycled water to beneficial use for the City.

Alternatives included Secondary-23 or Tertiary landscape irrigation to offset potable water use and full advanced treatment for groundwater recharge, via injection wells and/or surface spreading, to protect the basin from seawater intrusion.

The RWFPS established goals and objectives, analyzed existing and potential future wastewater characteristics and facilities, summarized regulatory considerations, and quantified market opportunities, including a hydrogeological assessment of recharge opportunities in the local groundwater basin and spatial allocation of landscape irrigation demands.

WSC led a consultant team to work with the City and regional stakeholders to screen and analyze multiple recycled water and non-recycled water alternatives. Following the screening, Indirect Potable Recharge through advanced treatment and groundwater injection was selected as the preferred alternative. The RWFPS was funded in part by a SWRCB Water Recycling Funding Program grant.

Relevance to the City:

Proposed project is natural extension to previously completed workSame effective team develop the RWFPS Spatially allocated potential recycled water demands Identified and quantified opportunities for groundwater recharge and estimated travel time to meet GWR regulations Developed alternatives with incremental phasing to enable selection of the most cost effective project components Performed an alternatives evaluation based on Triple Bottom Line criteria Worked directly with the SWRCB under a Water Recycling Planning Grant and received prompt approval of the RWFPS

Regional Recycled Water Concept Study & Grant Application San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, San Bernardino, CA

Program Overview

WSC is working with Valley District and multiple local agencies to identify regional recycled water projects that maximize regional benefits to water supply reliability, water quality, and habitat sustainability.

California’s extreme drought has magnified the needs to the San Bernardino Valley agencies to develop a portion of this discharge into new local water supply sources in the near term. A key challenge for the region is balancing their water supply needs with the need to conserve and maintain the natural rivers and streams that provide habitat for a diversity of unique and rare species in the watershed.

As part of the study’s scope, WSC is collaborating with the Valley District and their local agency partners to identify existing recycled water projects, planned projects, and work with the project team to develop new recycled water concepts.

Satellite Water Resource Recovery Facility & Groundwater Recharge Planning Study South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District, Oceano, CA

Program Overview

WSC is conducting a Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study for a Satellite Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility (SWRRF) for the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District (District). This project is funded by the Recycled Water Planning Grant program, the same program that is supporting Heritage Ranch Community Service District’s project.

The District treats wastewater for three water purveyors in southern San Luis Obispo County that rely upon an adjudicated groundwater basin threatened by seawater intrusion. To assist the District in developing a supplemental water supply source, WSC is investigating the opportunity to develop a SWRRF to allow the District’s wastewater, which is currently discharged to the ocean, to be recovered and used to recharge the basin and prevent seawater intrusion. A supplemental supply source will additionally provide the water purveyors with additional flexibility in develop a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for Arroyo Grande Creek, a nearby creek that provides habitat for endangered South Central California Steelhead.

The SWRRF would provide a supplemental water supply source, while additionally reducing flows to the Wastewater Treatment Facility by providing the District with new upstream treatment capacity.

To assist the District in funding the study, WSC prepared, submitted and received approval for SWRCB Water Recycling Facilities Planning Grant Application. The study focuses on evaluation of recycled water opportunities for agriculture irrigation, groundwater recharge and/or a seawater intrusion barrier.


Includes evaluation of multiple recycled water treatment facility site locations and beneficial use alternatives Analyzing opportunities to utilize recycled water to benefit an adjudicated groundwater basin Includes coordination with water, wastewater,and regulatory stakeholders Preparing in parallel with development of a HCP for Arroyo Grande Creek Coordinating with SWRCB to ensure compliance with Water Recycling Planning Grant Requirements Similar regional and contextual issues and requirements

Groundwater Replenishment Feasibility Study Soquel Creek Water District, Soquel, CA

Carollo was hired to develop a Groundwater Replenishment Feasibility Study to address a 1,500 acre-feet per year supply shortfall of that is resulting in groundwater overdraft.

Soquel Creek Water District relies entirely on local groundwater supplies for their water portfolio. This supply has historically been stressed, showing signs of sea water intrusion and falling groundwater levels. While conservation has been implemented and has significantly reduced demands, the recent drought has exacerbated the limited supply. This paired with the recent failure of the regional desalination project has resulted in Soquel moving forward with its own project of implementing groundwater recharge with recycled water.

Carollo is investigating several options including satellite treatment in various locations in the service area as well as providing advanced treatment at the Santa Cruz wastewater treatment plant. Treatment being considered includes membrane bioreactors followed by RO and UV/AOP. Additional treatment and storage requirements for direct potable reuse are also being considered.

Recharge options include conventional recharge with injection and downstream extraction, as well as use of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) that would utilize the same wells for injection and extraction. ASR wells may prove to be an effective way to recharge in a very narrow basin that has seawater intrusion issues near the coast.

Leverage Industry Experts and Local Knowledge to Achieve and Optimize the Benefits of Groundwater Recharge Successful implementation of an IPR groundwater recharge requires a comprehensive understanding of the advanced treatment processes, local hydrogeologic conditions and overall water supply portfolio for the City and its regional partners. WSC put together a team of local, knowledgeable experts with extensive technical expertise to assist the City implementing this groundbreaking project.

Research & applied experience add value through treatment process optimization The key to treatment process optimization is experience. Much of Carollo's hands on experience has

been gained through actual testing and research of the treatment processes. Our team has led Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) studies that defined the minimum public health goals and has performed testing to determine which treatment technologies are needed to meet those goals. We can use this applied research experience to rapidly develop, analyze, and select the appropriate treatment technology for each application. We have performed potable reuse planning-level analysis for more than a dozen clients in California and Texas.

Our experience originates from hands-on demonstration of potable reuse technologies, and we will leverage this national potable reuse experience to bring viable and valuable solutions to the City’s RGS Project.

Applying the Research. Carollo’s national leadership in applied research for indirect and potable reuse culminates in the tools we will use to facilitate analyses for the City. Potable Reuse Membrane Research. Our team has conducted detailed advanced treatment research, including the evaluation of UF and RO-based treatment for potable reuse (WRRF Project 06-019) and MBR-based treatment. These projects defined the level of CEC reduction through membrane technologies. Lower Cost Treatment Research. WRRF project 02-009 was conducted to find lower cost treatment solutions relative to RO. This work included pilot testing of ozone and UV-based advanced oxidation systems. This work demonstrated, without a doubt, that ozone-based advanced oxidation is the lowest-cost technology that can simultaneously destroy a wide range of CECs and pathogens. Ozone/BAF. Our team is pilot testing O3/Biologically Active Filtration for lower energy and cost potable reuse treatment for the Santa Clara Valley Water District. UV AOP. We are replacing the conventional Ultraviolet (UV)/Peroxide (H2O2) advanced oxidation treatment with UV/NaOCl (for the City of Los Angeles and the City of Oxnard) because UV/NaOCl is less expensive, safer to handle, provides better advanced oxidation, and provides a free chlorine residual for additional pathogen credits.

Aquifer Storage and Recovery. The first potable reuse ASR system is now being installed in Oxnard, CA. Carollo is leading this effort, and we are learning how to operate the ASR program to maximize water production and storage, while providing sufficient subsurface retention time for monitoring and response.

The City can have confidence that WSC – Carollo Team’s strong research and regulatory experience will result in a RGS Project design that meets multiple objectives of protecting public health through the use of proven and cost effective treatment technologies. Additionally, our team’s participation on the emerging Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) guidelines and the recently released “Framework for Direct Potable Reuse” publication will enable us to incorporate elements into our designed to set the City up for potential Direct Potable Reuse implementation.

Groundwater Basin Knowledge is Key to Identifying Effective Solutions Development of an Indirect Potable Reuse recharge project requires extensive knowledge of the geology and hydrogeology of the underlying aquifer to ensure that the intended benefits are achieved. For the success of the RGS Project, it is critical that the advanced purified water recharged into the basin is available for extraction at nearby production wells and/or creates a hydraulic barrier to protect against seawater intrusion. Ensuring these outcomes can be a challenge given the heterogeneity of the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin and the connectivity of geologic formations to the ocean.

To aid the City in developing a preliminary design that meets the clear objectives for the project, WSC selected CGH and Fugro to perform the hydrogeologic assessment for the RGS Project. Tim Cleath and Paul Sorensen have decades of experience in the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin and have completed the most recent relevant work for the RGS Project (i.e. Pismo Beach RWFPS, SMGB Characterization, 2010-2014 NCMA Annual Reports and monitoring, etc.).

The WSC - Carollo team will leverage this knowledge, findings from other relevant studies (e.g. PG&E geologic investigations, etc.) and previous work completed during the RFWPS to develop a transient flow model for the portions of the groundwater basin being evaluated for the RGS Project. Once developed, the transient flow model will be calibrated using observed groundwater elevations at target wells within the study area. Once calibrated, the transient flow model will allow for an extended period simulation of various scenarios to evaluate potential recharge and extraction locations over a range of hydrologic conditions. These scenarios will be utilized to developed optimized well field layouts for the RGS Project. Tim will lead the hydrogeologic analysis and Paul will perform QA/QC of the findings and recommendations to ensure that proposed improvements achieve the project objectives.

Work Program


Strategic Siting of Groundwater Recharge and Extraction Maximizes Yield To achieve the maximum supply benefit from a groundwater recharge project requires strategic siting of the recharge locations. Current IPR regulations require that the recharge locations of the advanced purified water are located sufficient distance from any potential extraction points to allow for a minimum of 2-8 months of residence time in the groundwater basin. This transit time within the aquifer provides for additional soil-aquifer treatment and allows for the detection of and response to process upsets in the advanced treatment process. However, transit time is not the only consideration. Recovery efficiency and extraction infrastructure requirements also play a significant role in designing and IPR system. To evaluate and select sites that will provide the maximum benefit to the City and its regional partners, the WSC-Carollo Team will utilize its knowledge of the local groundwater basin conditions, existing groundwater production infrastructure and potable water distribution systems to identify and select sites that provide the lowest unit cost (i.e. $/AF) for recovered water, while meeting all compliance requirements and other project objectives.

Enhanced Groundwater Recharge Facilitates Conjunctive Use Strategies The City currently maintains a diverse water supply portfolio, however, drought impacts on the groundwater levels in the basin and the potential risk of seawater intrusion severely limit opportunities to conjunctively manage its surface and groundwater sources. The development of an IPR groundwater recharge program will provide a new reliable, drought proof source of recharge for the groundwater basin. The City and its regional partners can utilize this recharge source to maintain elevated groundwater levels along the coast to prevent seawater intrusion. To assist the City in maximizing the effectiveness of this supply, the WSC Team will leverage its knowledge of the available water supplies and existing infrastructure to ensure that the design for the RGS Project can accommodate management and operational strategies that will improve water supply reliability through enhanced conjunctive use of surface and groundwater supplies.

Secure Outside Funding to Improve Value to the Community In response to the current drought, the SWRCB has identified recycled water projects as one of the highest priorities for allocation available funding. The availability of these funds represents a significant opportunity for the City and its regional partners to reduce cost of the RGS Project.

A Fast Start Plan builds momentum and provides funding eligibility Grant and low-interest loans from the Water Recycling Funding Program (WRFP), along with financing through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) are envisioned as the two primary funding sources for the RGS Project. Funding through the RWFP is being released on a first come-first served basis and are anticipated to be highly competitive. For the SWRCB to begin evaluating the funding application requires the submittal of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Therefore, it is likely the Draft EIR will be the critical path for the RGS Project and it is essential that the project hit the ground running with a goal of completing the required environmental documentation as soon as possible. To achieve this, WSC understands that one of our primary roles is to support the environmental team and as such, we developed a Fast Start Plan that outlines the critical path to the draft EIR. The Fast Start Plan will give the City the best chance to position for significant grant funding for the RGS project.

WSC developed a Fast Start Plan for the RGS Project that effectively navigates the City to the submission of the Environmental Package to the SWRCB, which is the critical milestone for obtaining

funding through the WRFP and the CWSRF.

Funding Agency Relationships and Proactive Planning Increase Funding Capture Rate Maintaining an open dialog with the SWRCB and other funding agencies is essential for staying informed on funding & financing opportunities and application deadlines. The WSC - Carollo Team maintains close relationships with the SWRCB and other funding agencies and has leveraged those relationships to obtain outside funding for planning, design and construction of water, wastewater and RW infrastructure projects.

Through our ongoing discussions with SWRCB, WSC has been informed that there have been recent changes to streamline the application process to allow for the submission of one joint application for obtaining grant and low interest loan funding from both for the RWFP and CWSRF programs. To aid the City in maximizing it chances for obtaining funding from these and other potential funding sources (e.g. IRWM, Prop 1, etc.), WSC’s Funding & Financing Task Force is tracking the constantly evolving program guidelines and will keep the City staff informed of future opportunities as they are applicable to the Sustainability Program.

As the funding sources for the RGS Project become more defined it will be important to effectively track and document funding pursuits such that City staff can easily access and share the most relevant information related to a pursuit. WSC’s approach for documenting funding pursuits is through “Capture Plans”, which include a strategy and detailed work plan for maximizing the potential of securing the targeted funding source. The Capture Plans will include target dates for completing specific activities, and present the funding pursuit work plan that is coordinated with the schedule for the RGS Project to ensure that all funding eligibility milestones are reached and that the City received timely payment and/or reimbursement.

WSC’s Funding & Financing Task Force has worked with numerous funding

agencies, including the SWRCB, to obtain over $5M in grants and $20M in low-interest loans to assist our clients in

Anticipating and Managing Project Risk Avoids Setbacks To aid the City in the successful implementation of the RGS Project, WSC developed the following strategies to mitigate potential risks to the advanced treatment facility, the environmental process and project schedule, regulatory approval for the project and compliance at the City’s existing WWTP.

Evaluating an Offsite Advanced Treatment Plant Alternative Reduces Project Risk and Improves Regional Coordination

Avoiding Flooding Issues Helps Keep the Project on Schedule When the City expanded the WWTP in 2004, they did so with the knowledge that the WWTP was in a floodway, and therefore incorporated design elements to mitigate potential damage to the facility that could be caused by inundation. However, the RWQCB requested the City evaluate potential future upgrades to protect the WWTP (in addition to the improvements to the facility). Flood studies performed at that time indicated that the Price Canyon offramp is an outlet control choke point for Pismo Creek. Improvements to the offramp were considered too expensive, and the proposed fix was to raise the Bello Street Bridge (upstream of the WWTP) and construct a flood wall at an elevation to provide protection for the equivalent of a 66-year storm. The Bello Street Bridge is currently being raised. A floodwall on top of the existing levee (as recommended by prior studies) may not be feasible in the current flood control and regulatory environment. WSC is concerned that proceeding with the ATP at the WWTP site could result in project delay or denial of permits until flood improvements are made. While we understand the City will continue to pursue improvements at the plant site, the ultimate cost and timing of the flood protection improvements could lead to delays for the RGS Project. The long term reliability of regional groundwater resources may not be able to survive an extended delay. Therefore WSC is recommending evaluation of an offsite ATP alternative.

The flooding issue brings numerous schedule risks, including:

The Existing Outfall Line Allows Remote Location of the Advanced Treatment Plant The existing outfall line extends down Highway 1 to the ocean outfall pipeline the City shares with South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District in Oceano. There are numerous parcels available along the outfall alignment that are suitable for siting the treatment plant. One potential project configuration is shown below.

Offsite Location Could Facilitate a Regional RW Solution The South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District is currently studying the potential for a satellite tertiary treatment plant to reduce flow to their WWTP and produce recycled water for irrigation, groundwater recharge and agricultural uses. South County Sanitation is also evaluating a redundancy project to provide additional reliable treatment capacity at the WWTP. The ultimate configuration of the South County WWTP is not known at this point. However, by locating the ATP closer to the ocean outfall and the South County WWTP it is possible the ATP could be used to treat effluent from both the Pismo WWTP and the South County WWTP. This would encourage collaboration from the other partner agencies, and could make the project more viable to the public.

Analysis of an Offsite Project Could be Environmentally Favorable The potential impacts associated with flooding and mitigation of flooding at the WWTP may indicate that an Offsite Alternative is required to meet CEQA objectives. An Offsite ATP located on Huston Street has several environmental advantages including eliminating 1.8 miles of pipeline, eliminating one injection well site (assuming the well site is collocated with the ATP), eliminating a creek crossing, and will place the ATP out of a flood zone. However, there are other CEQA considerations that could be less favorable, such as GHG emissions since, for instance, there are potentially more vehicle trips associated with the Offsite ATP. There may be other environmental factors that impact an Offsite ATP.

An Offsite Location Has Numerous Potential Benefits Reduction of 1.8 miles of pipeline ($1.5 million in savings) No flood improvements Lower environmental impacts Preserve space at the corporation yard Fewer parcels to acquire (collocate with Injection Well FI-2) Potential Costs Compared to the WWTP Location

o Purchase land at $400k/acre o Possible need additional paving and office space (however, may need additional office space

at both locations) o Remote operations could require more driving time, and possibly a minor cost increase o May need to extend power to the site (although it is zone industrial, and may not be cost

prohibitive)

WSC proposes an optional task to evaluate an offsite advanced treatment facility that could

eliminate the flood risk, reduce pipeline requirements and provide

for a potential regional facility through cooperation with

SSLOCSD.

Collaborate with the Environmental Team to Reduce Schedule Risk Working collaboratively and expeditiously with the City’s environmental consultant will be key to develop the data necessary to complete the Draft EIR and funding application(s) as soon as possible to be competitive for outside funding.

Coordinated Program Management Builds Success and Reduces Burden on City Staff To assist in developing a collaboration strategy between the engineering and environmental teams, WSC reached out SWCA to identify opportunities to streamline the development of the environmental documentation and reach key project milestones. Included in our proposal is an optional task for Environmental Consultant Coordination. Approval of this task will allow for frequent and routine meetings between WSC and SWCA, will reduce the burden on City staff to coordinate and manage the preparation of the environmental documentation for the RGS Project, and ensure that the required Environmental Documentation is completed quickly to allow the City to get its spot in line for outside funding.

Through discussion with SWCA and review of their scope of work, WSC has identified several key tasks that will require close coordination between WSC, SWCA and City Staff. These items are listed below:

1. Special Studies not included in SCWA’s scope. As stated in their proposal, SWCA’s scope of work for the Draft EIR does not include the development of Hydrology and Geotechnical Study, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, or a Brine Discharge Analysis Study. The development of these specific technical studies will need to be developed in a timely manner to allow for incorporation into the EIR and to avoid project delays. WSC can assist in managing and/or working with SWCA to develop these studies as needed to ensure that the RGS Project remains on schedule.

2. Infrastructure Siting. To assist in identifying potential sites for the injection, extraction and possibly the advanced treatment that have minimal environmental impacts will require close coordination between the engineering and environmental teams. WSC proposes to engage SWCA early in the alternatives evaluation to ensure the sites being evaluate will be viable and will not require significant mitigations if selected as the preferred alternative.

Adaptable Project Description Provides Flexibility One of the key initial milestones for the completion of the necessary environmental documentation is the development of the Project Description for the EIR. Early development of a Project Description with sufficient detail and supporting information to meet the CEQA Plus requirements will allow SWCA to focus their efforts and keep the environmental documentation on schedule.

Item 7.D Pg. 60CCA-2015-12-15

Attachment 2

Work Program


Another potential challenge for the RGS Project will be to allow for the parallel evaluation of both an onsite and offsite advanced treatment facilities. WSC has and will continue to work closely with SWCA to develop a strategy that will allow the City to evaluate both potential opportunities without delaying the preparation of the necessary environmental documentation or delaying the overall project schedule. It is envisioned that both alternatives will be included in the project description and that the methodology for the development of the environmental documentation will include contingencies to allow the proposed project to be modified as-needed, without the need for supplemental environmental documentation and addendums.

To maintain flexibility without impacting the overall schedule, WSC proposes to complete technical studies for both the onsite and offsite alternatives during the EIR

process. This will allow the proposed project to be modified without the need for supplemental environmental documentation.

Comprehensive Understanding of Regulatory Requirements Provides a Road Map to IPR and Beyond Potable water reuse can take many forms nationally, including DPR, IPR through groundwater recharge or surface water augmentation, and "de facto" potable reuse, where the growth of communities have brought the connection between wastewater discharge and potable water supply very close together. The State of California, through regulations by the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) has detailed a clear path for IPR with the finalized groundwater recharge regulations and draft criteria for surface water augmentation.

The final regulations for groundwater recharge include several key advantages that allow for injection of advanced purified water without blending (100 percent recharge) and allow for a reduced travel time in the subsurface of two months, both substantially improving the economics of potable water reuse. For any reuse project, the focus remains on the critical demonstration of pathogen removal, multiple barriers, and trace pollutant reduction, as shown in the table below.

Potable Water Reuse Key Treatment CriteriaParameter Criteria Pathogen Microorganism Control

Enteric Virus 12 - log1 reduction

Giardia cyst 10 - log1 reduction

Cryptosporidium oocysts 10 - log1 reduction

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Maximum 0.25 mg/L in 95% of samples within first 20 weeks / Maximum 0.5 mg/L 20-week running average

1,4-dioxane2 0.5 - log reduction by an advanced oxidation process

NDMA 10 ng/L Notification Level (NL)

Total Nitrogen (TN) 10 mg/L Notes: (1) 1-log is 90% reduction, 2-log is 99% reduction, etc. (2) Indicator compounds can be substituted for 1,4-dioxane with approval from DDW.

Because our team is leading the IPR groundwater recharge permitting for Oxnard and leading the IPR treatment design for the City of Los Angeles (Terminal Island), we have a clear understanding of the regulations and understand how to minimize the cost of IPR while maintaining the proper safety barriers to protect public health. Our team’s familiarity with IPR regulations and issues has resulted in regulatory approval of optimized IPR systems in California, including:

Aquifer Storage and Recovery for IPR, which uses the same wells for injection and extraction of purified water to increase water supply recovery and improve monitoring. Design of the first IPR project that is replacing UV/H2O2 with UV/NaOCl to reduce cost and improve performance.

Our team will leverage lessons learned from

permitting numerous IPR projects in California to lead the RGS Project to regulatory

approval.

The next step for potable reuse in California is DPR. DPR, if properly implemented, can further reduce the cost of potable water reuse while providing equal or greater water quality than IPR. Our confidence in this statement is born from extensive research of the treatment and monitoring systems for both IPR and DPR. Our team is leading or has completed extensive IPR and DPR planning studies, pilot studies, and full-scale studies to lay the path for successful potable water reuse projects. This experience has allowed us to bring the City detailed and accurate costs and a clear understanding of hurdles to properly implement potable water reuse. Potable water reuse is focused on public health protection, but includes other important permitting efforts. The regulatory approval process will include a new Report of Waste Discharge and an Engineering Report. The ROWD and the Engineering Report have many common elements and can be completed in parallel to save time and money. Key items in the ROWD deal with Salt and Nutrient Management Plan issues and anti-degradation, though groundwater recharge with purified water will improve the groundwater quality.

Anticipating Advanced Treatment Impacts to the Current Operation Will Produce a Robust Design and Avoid Surprises The City's treatment facility currently produces a high quality secondary effluent that meets all the required NPDES permit limits. As the City moves towards implementing potable reuse, the impacts of the new advanced treatment process on the existing WWTP need to be carefully considered, particularly on the NPDES permit. Key areas that should be evaluated for potential impacts are:

New Electrical Loads. The existing WWTP consists of oxidation ditches to provide secondary treatment, sodium hypochlorite addition for disinfection, and a screw press (currently in design) for biosolids dewatering. The secondary treatment and dewatering processes represent some of the largest electrical

Work Program


demands, along with pumping, for a typical WWTP. In the case of the City, these processes have relatively low associated electrical demands. As a result, the new advanced treatment facility will likely double the total connected load for the WWTP. Evaluation is needed to determine if the existing electrical service and main switchgear is sufficient to support this additional demand.

Additional Back-Up Power. The electrical loads associated with the advanced treatment facility will also impact the back-up power at the WWTP. As part of the last major upgrade to the WWTP, a new 800 kW generator was installed to provide back-up power for critical facilities. The sufficiency of this generator in light of the new electrical loads will also need to be determined.

Monitoring and Reporting. The focus of the advanced treatment facility is pathogen removal, creation of multiple barriers, and reduction of trace pollutants. Since pathogen removal is achieved by several processes operating in series, a high degree of monitoring is required to ensure that each unit process in the system is achieving the desired level of performance. Our industry is quickly moving to more precise and accurate online control for potable reuse, and our design of your facility will incorporate the latest reliable techniques. However, plant staff will still be taxed with daily grab sampling and online meter calibrations. Further, potable water reuse projects require an extensive amount of monthly and quarterly water quality analysis. Through our IPR permitting work with Oxnard, we understand the exact additional monitoring and reporting efforts for the City, allowing you to adequately budget for staffing after the facilities are in operation.

Laboratory Testing. Additional monitoring requirements will result in the need for additional laboratory analysis either on-site or off-site. The monitoring will include evaluation of a wide range of "new" pollutants that are not regulated, such as select hormones and pharmaceuticals. We will work with your lab staff to define their capabilities (now and in the future) and use our experience on potable water reuse in Southern California and the Central Coast (working with the City of Los Angeles, Oxnard, and Ventura) to provide a clear understanding of the cost (time and money) of the new lab work.

Work Program


Operator Certification. The goal of any advanced treatment facility tasked with producing potable reuse-quality effluent is protection of public health. For this reason, potable reuse carries the highest calling for a WWTP operator, which is translated into the highest operator certification (Grade V). There have been high-level discussions about a separate operational category for recycled water operators by organizations such as CWEA, CASA, and Cal/Nevada AWWA, but these discussions are preliminary. Our key team is members are working jointly with the listed organizations and on the development of training materials for potable reuse for the New Mexico Environment Department. Early on in this new work we will meet with plant staff to review certifications and training needs and lay out a path for the City's potable reuse future.

There is a second important component to operations, which is the effect of WWTP operations on the purification process. As part of our work helping to develop the NWRI National Potable Reuse Guidelines, we have spent a great deal of time considering how an existing WWTP should be properly integrated into a potable reuse facility. We will work with City staff to understand the impact of secondary process upsets, return flows, and chemical use on the water quality and throughput of the new advanced purification facilities.

More Rigorous Source Control. The City is not mandated to have a formal pre-treatment program, as is the case for many small treatment plants. With potable water reuse on the horizon, the source control has a new importance. Advanced purification facilities are capable of withstanding pollutant shock loads, and are built with multiple barriers of robust treatment. However, there have been instances for trace level pollutants to pass through the entire purification process. This was the case with 1,4-dioxane and NDMA, both of which can be reduced or eliminated with proper source control. For our work in Oxnard, we developed and implemented a rigorous source control monitoring program for their potable reuse program and will do the same for the City.

Evaluation of Return Flow Streams. Trace pollutant and nutrient-rich return flows from biosolids stabilization or dewatering will result in shock loads to the purification process. Depending upon the strength and flow of the return stream, a holding tank with a constant feed back to the process stream may be recommended (at a minimum).

RO Concentrate Disposal and Permitting Concerns. Assessing the impacts of the RO concentrate on permit compliance is a major focus of Phase 1 of the project. The purification process will remove ~85 percent of the water from the purification stream, concentrating metals, salts, and trace level organics. Our recent potable reuse work in Oxnard and in Soquel (Soquel Creek Water District) on this very issue will serve as a template for the City's evaluation. It is important to note that the State Water Resources Control Board has clearly stated that potable water reuse projects will be granted additional dilution credit for RO concentrate disposal to the Pacific, likely giving the City needed flexibility.

Flow Equalization. The new purification processes will represent a large capital investment. Flow to these facilities will be equalized, allowing better performance (due to the minimization of RO fouling by having a constant scouring rate) and full utilization of the costly equipment.

Secondary Process Optimization. Optimization of the secondary process can lead to improved performance of downstream filtration and purification processes. Membrane research by Carollo in Ventura and in San Diego and Padre Dam (by others) now shows that membrane flux (capacity) can nearly be doubled for well operated longer SRT secondary processes. This has a direct impact on cost, allowing the design team to install low pressure membranes with greater capacity.

Our team will work with plant staff to consider opportunities to optimize

the existing secondary process, which can lead to improved

performance of downstream filtration and purification processes.

Leadership with Purpose – Delivering the Regional Groundwater Sustainability Project This project is precedent setting for many reasons, including its application of advanced technology, limited inventory of similar projects in California, especially at similar scale, jurisdictional complexities and implications within the SMGB Judgement, to name just a few. The project requires effective leadership to successfully guide the project from start to finish. WSC’s leadership strategy for this project includes five (5) basic elements:

1. Function as an extension of Pismo Beach’s staff. WSC’s key project staff have been working alongside the City’s staff for more than seven years. We know the City well, and have longstanding relationships across the entire organization. We are vested in your success, are comfortable working as an extension of your staff, and continually strive to provide the highest level of service while pursuing your interests as our own.

2. Plan the work, work the plan. WSC developed a comprehensive scope and schedule for this project, and we are ready to begin immediately upon your notice to proceed.

3. Sustain active communication and emphasize knowledge transfer. As described earlier, this is not the kind of project that your consultant team can design “in a box”. Information needs to be effectively leveraged across multiple organizations, adapting to changing perspectives and requirements as we move along. By emphasizing knowledge transfer, we can minimize blind spots, improve decision-making and leverage the strengths of project participants for the benefit of the project and the City.

4. Support and expand regional cooperation. This project depends upon regional cooperation to be a success. WSC will lead regional cooperation to improve funding opportunities, coordinate support and management consensus, enhance project credibility and build political support and agency buy-in.

5. Provide industry leading technical expertise. WSC’s team includes some of the most prominent and accomplished reuse professionals in the industry. For every element of the project, WSC’s team brings outstanding technical leadership.

Subject to other provisions of this Agreement, the CITY shall provide the CONSULTANT with copies of any specifications, maps, drawings, records, or other documentation, which are required by the CONSULTANT in order to perform the services specified herein.

(b) Time is of the essence with regard to the performance of the CONSULTANT’s duties under this Agreement.

(c) Either party may terminate this Agreement by tendering written notice to the other party thirty days before the effective date of termination.

Attachment 3



(b) Expenses:

CITY shall not reimburse CONSULTANT for any expenses incurred by CONSULTANT in rendering services under this Agreement except as expressly provided for in Exhibit “A”.

(i) CONSULTANT shall bill CITY c/o the City’s Project Manager at 760

(ii) CITY shall pay fees and applicable expenses due under this

Agreement within thirty days of receiving such bills from CONSULTANT, unless contested. Payment of any fee or reimbursement shall not constitute a waiver by the CITY of any breach of any part of this Agreement. 5. Indemnification To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8) CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the CITY and its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees and volunteers ("CITY entities") from and against all claims, damages, injuries, losses and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, any subconsultant, anyone employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by CONSULTANT shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT unless adequately corrected by CONSULTANT. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive completion of CONSULTANT’S services or the termination of this Agreement.

6. Insurance Requirements

Without limiting CONSULTANT's responsibility to defend and indemnify CITY, it is agreed that CONSULTANT shall maintain in full force and effect, at all times during the performance of this Agreement, the following policy or policies of insurance covering its operations:

(a) Comprehensive General Liability, including contractual liability, business automobile liability, broad form property damage, and products and

Item 7.D Pg. 168CCA-2015-12-15

Attachment 3



completed operations, all of which shall include coverage for both bodily injury and property damage, with a combined single limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. CONSULTANT's comprehensive general liability insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clauses:

(1) "The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." (2) "It is agreed that any insurance maintained by the City of Pismo Beach shall apply in excess of, and not contribute with insurance provided by this policy."

(b) Workers' Compensation coverage shall be at statutory limits.

(c) Errors and Omissions Liability in the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000). City need not be named as an additional insured on professional errors and omissions insurance policies. All insurance policies required by this section shall not be canceled,

limited or non-renewed without first giving 30 days written notice to the CITY. Additionally, the policy shall specifically contain language substantially similar to the following clause:

This insurance shall not be canceled until after thirty days written notice has been given to the City of Pismo Beach.

In the event CONSULTANT’s policy of insurance cannot be endorsed to provide CITY this notice of cancellation, CONSULTANT shall provide CITY notice of such cancellation, in writing, not later than 24 hours following the effective time of such cancellation.

Certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages required by the clauses set forth above shall be filed with CITY prior to the effective date of this Agreement. This is a condition precedent to the formation of any obligation by CITY to compensate CONSULTANT under this agreement. 7. Ownership Of paper and electronic Documents

All plans, studies, sketches, drawings, reports, and specifications as herein required are the property of the CITY, whether the work for which they are made be executed or not. In the event this Agreement is terminated, and at the

Item 7.D Pg. 169CCA-2015-12-15

Attachment 3



end of the term of this Agreement, all such plans, studies, sketches, drawings, electronic documentation, reports, and specifications shall be delivered immediately to the CITY. CONSULTANT may retain one copy of each document for CONSULTANT’S records, but shall have no proprietary rights to them. CITY agrees to indemnify CONSULTANT against any damages caused by the unauthorized re-use of said documents. 8. Status Of The CONSULTANT

The CONSULTANT shall perform the services provided for herein using CONSULTANT's own methods and practices as an independent contractor and in pursuit of CONSULTANT's independent calling. CONSULTANT is not an employee of the CITY, nor shall any employees of CONSULTANT be considered employees of the CITY, for any purpose. CONSULTANT shall be under the direction and control of CITY staff only as to the results to be accomplished. 9. Assignment And Subcontracting

(a) CONSULTANT is being retained due to its special qualifications to perform services as described in Exhibit “A”. Therefore, CONSULTANT shall not assign this Agreement, any part thereof, or any compensation due thereunder.

(b) CONSULTANT shall be fully responsible to the CITY for any acts and omissions of CONSULTANT's subcontractors, including persons either directly or indirectly employed by subcontractors, in the event CONSULTANT subcontracts any of the work to be performed under this Agreement. CONSULTANT's responsibility under this paragraph shall be identical to CONSULTANT's liability for acts and omissions of CONSULTANT and employees of the CONSULTANT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between CITY and any subcontractor of CONSULTANT, but CONSULTANT shall bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to CONSULTANT's work, unless such change, omission, or addition is approved in advance in writing by the City. All subcontractors are subject to the prior written review and approval of the City.

(c) All terms, conditions, and provisions hereof shall inure to and bind each of the parties hereto, and each of their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns. 10. Notices

All notices shall be in writing and given either by personal service or delivery by the United States Postal Service, or its successor, postage prepaid to the specifically named person(s) or the holder(s) of a designated position. Notices shall become effective insofar as service is concerned on the date of

11. Disputes

If a dispute should arise regarding the performance of this Agreement or compensation for work performed under this Agreement, the parties hereby agree to make good faith and reasonable attempts to settle the dispute through subsequent agreement between CONSULTANT principal and CITY. In the event that a dispute continues, the CONSULTANT is required to continue performing under this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute. Nothing in this procedure shall prohibit the parties from seeking remedies available to them at law after they have made a good faith and reasonable attempt to resolve the dispute pursuant to the provisions of this section. In the event of litigation arising out of the performance of the obligations of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. 12. Agreement Contains All Understandings
