HomeMy WebLinkAboutStaff Report 4.C 06/15/2015Agenda Item #4.0 t 1F �A DATE: June 15, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager FROM: Dan St. John, F.ASCE — Director, Public Works and Utilities Larry Zimmer, P.E. — Deputy Director, Public Works and Utilities SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Services for the Tertiary Process Upgrades at the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for Engineering and Design Services for the Tertiary Process Upgrades at the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility. BACKGROUND Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility ( ECWRF) has been in operation since early 2009 and currently processes an average dry weather daily flow of 4.7 MGD (million gallons per day). The plant, rated at 8 MGD overall, was designed to process up to 6.7 MGD of dry weather flow and 35 MGD during wet weather events when infiltration and inflow of stormwater to the wastewater collection system is high. Overall, the plant has performed well and has consistently achieved compliance with all requirements. To meet growing demands for reclaimed water, the plant's tertiary filtration and reclaimed water disinfection processes requires upgrades. Since 2012, the use of recycled water increased from zero to 22 million gallons per year for parks, schools and open space. These demands are expected to grow as additional areas are added including the recent addition of 10 holes at Rooster and Adobe Creek golf courses. The background of the process to evaluate the upgrades was documented in the June 1, 2015 City Council staff report (Attachment 4), in which the three improvement elements are discussed, including those for solids digestion and processing and aeration of the activated sludge process. The June 1, 2015 staff report and City Council approval was for Element 1 — Solids Digestion and Processing Upgrades. The next step in the plan to upgrade ECWRF is to begin design on Element 2 - Tertiary Treatment Upgrades. This element will add a second continuous backwash filter and install ultraviolet (UV) equipment in the existing third channel. This will allow an increase to the maximum summer -month reclaimed water deliveries to existing and future customers by increasing through -put from the current daily maximum through -put of 4.3 MGD to 6.0 MGD. This will allow the system to operate consistently within its average day design capacity and reduce the number of days that the filters are currently operating near the maximum day design capacity. Currently the filters operate near the maximum day design capacity for much of the peak summer irrigation months. The maximum day demand on the tertiary system increased nine fold in 2013 when the old secondary effluent system that supplied the legacy agricultural users was moth balled and those demands were put on the tertiary system. The City, in partnership with the North Bay Water Recycled Water Authority, submitted a State Proposition 84 grant proposal that includes this project element, but was unsuccessful, Staff is applying for Proposition 1 funding. Projects that are ready to proceed will be judged more favorably and therefore, moving the element into the design phase should help in obtaining grant funding. DISCUSSION In March 2013, the Public Works and Utilities Department solicited proposals for engineering and design services for Ellis Creek Upgrades through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Seven Statements of Qualifications (SOQ's) were received in April 2013 that addressed the firms' wastewater treatment engineering expertise. The engineering services included in the RFQ were very specialized and Petaluma firms do not have the expertise or the capacity to perform the analysis and design. As a result of the initial RFQ process, the City hired one of the firms to conduct the Headworks Design and Plant Assessment addressed earlier. A list of consultants then was developed for the subject project, based on the previous SOQ proposal review. Three consultants considered most qualified from the SOQ process were solicited for engineering and design services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) on December 16, 2014. The three firms were Brown and Caldwell, Kennedy- Jenks, and Carollo Engineers. Carollo Engineers was the only firm to submit a proposal for the subject project. Carollo Engineers has significant expertise in all areas of wastewater treatment facilities design, permitting and operations. Their team has the expertise to address the City's needs, and is based nearby in Walnut Creek. Previous clients include Napa Sanitation District, City of Santa Rosa, City of South San Francisco, and City of San Mateo. Carollo Engineers have an intimate knowledge of the ECWRF, having provided planning, design, and construction services for over 10 years in the development of the plant. Many of the Carollo team members, including the proposed project manager, were involved in the original design of the facility. Carollo staff is very familiar with current operations and maintenance staff, other local facilities, and the regulators at the San Francisco Bay Water Quality Control Board. Furthermore, Carollo has continued to provide support to the City since the plant was built, at times without requesting compensation. The services include final design and engineering services for the construction of a new, second five cell continuous backwash filter system, addition of UV disinfection equipment for the third channel of the existing UV system, two tertiary feed pumps to the existing filter feed pump station, and addition of strainers to the pond pump station discharge. The tasks of the PSA include background review, and conducting a basis of design workshop summarized in the technical memorandum for $33,798. The final design is the largest task in the PSA for $321,814. Bidding and engineering services during construction accounts for $141,074. Environmental, support services, and project management complete the PSA at $79,424. The scope of work is included in Attachment 2. Project and construction management services will be provided by City staff. It is recommended that the Council award the subject PSA to Carollo Engineers based on a not to exceed contract with a limit of $576,110. With anticipated funding, the schedule for the tertiary process upgrades includes completing the design and selecting a contractor by June 2016. The construction is estimated to take up to 9 months. The construction phase is scheduled to be completed by the middle of 2017. The proposed action meets Council Goals: "Plan for and implement priority capital projects as funding permits." FINANCIAL IMPACTS The total CIP budget for the Ellis Creek Tertiary Process Upgrades (C66401416) is currently budgeted as follows: Project Phase Approved CIP Budget (1) Planning/Environmental $ 250,000 Design $ 500,000 Salaries and Benefits $ 100,000 Construction Contracts $ 4,980,000 Construction Management $ 490,000 Contingency $ 500,000 CIP Overhead /Administration $ 92,000 TOTAL $ 6,912,000 1: Proposed FY 16 -17 CIP Budget. City staff is pursuing Proposition 1 funding from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) which provides 50% grant up to maximum of $5 million. The remainder of the funding is planned from capital reserves or a loan from the SWRCB. The budget will be amended to increase the portion allocated to Design, with corresponding decreases in planning /Environmental and Construction. The total project budget will remain at $6,912,000.

Since the plant was put into operation, the City Public Works staff has recognized that several factors have changed since the original plant design criterion was established. This includes: • Higher than expected organics loading, that exceeds the liquid and solids process capacity. • High strength waste (HSW) from local agricultural - related businesses might be more economically treated locally at the WRF. • The solids process equipment lacks redundancy, which makes the higher loadings more problematic for plant operation and maintenance. • The need for tertiary recycled water has increased due to the current drought and other factors, such as serving agricultural users with tertiary treated water. Based on these factors and limitations, the City has already undertaken assessments of the liquid and solids processes at the WRF and envisioned three phases of improvements at the WRF. This scope outlines the details of the Tertiary Process Upgrade project. Two additional phases will address solids and high strength waste handling facilities upgrades and are addressed in a separate scope of work. The Tertiary Process Upgrades project elements include: 1. Addition of a second 5 -cell continuous backwash filter system 2. Addition of UV disinfection equipment for the third channel of the existing UV system. 3. Addition of two tertiary feed pumps to the existing filter feed pump station. 4. Addition of filters or strainers to the pond pump station discharge to the filter inlet. DETAILED PROJECT SCOPE The following scope of services was prepared based on our understanding of the RFP, site visits, review of available information, and discussions with City staff. It includes the scope of work for design through bidding and Engineering Services During Construction. It is anticipated that Construction Management will be provided by the City. TASK 1— BACKGROUND REVIEW The purpose of Task 1 will be to identify any additional information required for design, and any data gaps. Additionally, this first task is critical to setting the design criteria and reliability /redundancy criteria for the project and the facility. A kickoff meeting will be conducted with City management, operations and maintenance, laboratory and other key staff to review the scope of the design project, project elements, and obtain background information from the City. This will include: 13 Petaluma Tertiary Upgrades Carollo Scope 051915.docx Page 1 May 19, 2015 EXHIBIT A • AutoCAD design files and drawings for the WRF, including updates by the City during construction to record the as -built conditions. Specification for existing equipment and facilities will also be provided. • Design criteria for the additional components and process units. • Influent flow projections. • Level of service requirements. • Recent assessments of tertiary process and tertiary water production records. • UV system data including UVT, any reported disinfection violations, and overall system operation records. The information listed above will be provided by the City and reviewed based on the work completed since the plant was commissioned. The City shall furnish the Engineer all available studies, reports and other data pertinent to Engineer's services; obtain or authorize the Engineer to obtain additional reports and data as required; furnish Consultant services of others required in the performance of Engineer's services, and the Engineer shall be entitled to use and rely upon such information and services provided by the City or others in performing Engineer's services under this scope. The information will be used to prepare materials for the Basis of Design workshop included in the subsequent tasks. One feature of the listed improvements will be evaluated in additional detail prior to the Basis of Design Workshop. The addition of filters or strainer to the pond pump station discharge to the filter inlet will be reviewed and options will be presented prior to the Basis of Design workshop. The Background Review subtasks include: Task 1.1- Kickoff Meeting Task 1.2 - Collect and Review Existing Data and Information Task 1.3 - Data Gap Identification and Meeting Notes Task 1.4 - Pond pump station screen or filter /strainer evaluation Deliverable: Kick -off meeting notes, pond pump screen or filter evaluation findings, and Basis of Design workshop materials. The purpose of Task 2 will be a confirmation of the Basis of Design. Using the information provided by the City, our knowledge of the original design, and City staff experience in the operation of the existing facility, the Basis of Design for the Tertiary Process Additions will be set. This will be accomplished in a one -day workshop in the City of Petaluma. During the Basis of Design workshop, the following will be considered: • Process design criteria and sizing. • Process layout. • Technology selection where required, such as UV equipment, and /or filters. • Level of automation and controls. • Integration with existing tertiary process. • Utility requirements. • Safety considerations. • Construction phasing, sequence, and constraints. • Additional information requirements. • Environmental or permitting support needs (provided by others). • Geotechnical information review (provided by others). Engineer will conduct a workshop in order to define and finalize the scope and cost of final design elements. The findings and recommendations for pond pump screening and filter evaluation will also be] 4 Petaluma Tertiary Upgrades Carollo Scope 051915.docx Page 2 May 19, 2015 EXHIBIT A reviewed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to complete the preliminary design process in an accelerated manner and allows the City to participate in real -time decision - making. After the workshop, Engineer will prepare an updated construction cost estimate for the proposed facilities, and meeting notes to document the decisions made in the workshop.

DATE: June 1, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager FROM: Dan St. John, KASCE — Director, Public Works and Utilities SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Services for the Solids Process Upgrades at the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Professional Services Agreement for Engineering Services for the Solids Process Upgrades at the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility. BACKGROUND Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility (ECWRF) has been in operation since early 2009 and currently processes an average dry weather daily flow of 4.7 MGD (million gallons per day). The plant, rated at 8 MGD overall, was designed to process up to 6.7 MGD of dry weather flow and 35 MGD during wet weather events when infiltration and inflow of stormwater to the wastewater collection system is high. Overall, the plant has performed well and has consistently achieved compliance with all requirements. More recently, the plant has experienced increases in organic loading from industries experiencing a rebound with the economy and from recent development projects. To meet these and other growing demands for reclaimed water, the plant is in need of upgrades to three elements of its operation, namely: solids digestion and processing, tertiary filtration and disinfection of reclaimed water, and aeration of the activated sludge process. In addition, the City has the opportunity of promoting energy generation from bio- methane produced in the solids processing system with upgrades to accommodate acceptance and processing of high strength waste produced by local industry. This material is currently disallowed and is being hauled to Oakland and other sites. To better understand the wastewater treatment and reclaimed water needs of the community, the City Council held a workshop on March 11, 2013, and has adopted in its goals: "Focus attention on supporting food and beverage processing, manufacturing, and alternative energy business clusters ". Subsequently, the Council approved the award of engineering services on July 15, 2014 to design the replacement of headwork screens that had proved ineffective in removing the new generation of disposable wipes and other stringing materials. In addition, a review of the plant was conducted to evaluate current loading trends and provide input to staff as to what 23 elements should be included in future plant upgrades. The review concluded that the plant does at times operate above the "paper" design capacity for organic loading while remaining within projected capacity for flow and suspended solids. The evaluation allowed staff to conclude that the original plant is robust and designed conservatively because operations yield consistently high water quality effluent that is discharged to the River or used for irrigation. On June 21, 2014, the Council awarded a procurement contract for the purchase of two new headworks screens and on February 23, 2015, the contract to install the screens was awarded. That project is currently in construction. In April 2014, the City submitted a grant application for a California Energy Commission (CEC) grant to modify the plant to allow generation of compressed natural gas (CNG) for use in the transit and garbage fleet that was unsuccessful. The application process provided a thorough investigation of the energy production potential of using high strength waste from industry to boost bio- methane production and subsequent CNG use. It should be noted that the Council approved modification of the Wastewater Capacity Fee Resolution on December 1, 2014, that along with recent collection of other outstanding wastewater fees, has allowed the City to generate nearly $5,000,000 to fund the upgrades addressed below. Based on the investigations since the workshop, the following plant upgrades are recommended: Element 1 - Solids Digestion and Processing Upgrades: Add second 550,000 gallon anaerobic digester to mirror existing digester, two strainpress units to screen fine debris, second gravity belt thickener, third thickened waste pump, and related piping, controls, and heating equipment. The project will seek to enhance related systems including replacement of the existing dewatered sludge conveyance system which has been problematic, addition of a truck scale for biosolids hauling, and installation of a second grit classifier for redundancy. The primary benefit will be to provide redundancy and reliability to the operations since currently there is only one digester and one gravity belt thickener. The second digester will provide a buffer to the current 15 day solids detention time permit criteria where current operation hovers at 16 to 18 days and will allow modification of activated sludge process to reduce oxygen demand and improve aeration. Element 2 — Tertiary Treatment Upgrades: Add second continuous backwash filter and install ultraviolet (UV) equipment in existing thud channel. Will allow an increase to the maximum summer -month reclaimed water deliveries to existing and future customers by increasing through -put from the current daily maximum through -put of 4.3 MGD to 7.8 MGD and reduce the number of days that the filters are currently operating above their average day design capacity but still below their maximum capacity. The maximum day demand on the tertiary system increased nine fold in 2013 when the old secondary effluent system that supplied the legacy agricultural users was converted to tertiary. The City, in partnership with the North Bay Water Recycled Water Authority, has submitted a State Proposition 84 grant proposal that includes this project element, and may apply for Proposition 1 funding. Projects that are ready to proceed will be judged more favorably and therefore, moving the element into the design phase should help in obtaining grant funding. 24 Element 3 — Aeration Upgrades: The organic loading of the plant with commensurate increases in revenues has resulted from the adoption of "business friendly" policies. As a result, the plant needs to either lower the oxygen demand of the activated sludge process or add more air, or both. At this time, the pre - engineering work is underway to determine the best course of action. It is believed, however, that one of the benefits of Element 1 is that it will modify the existing process to reduce oxygen demand; however, other options are also being investigated. Energy Element — CNG Production Upgrades: As mentioned above, the City submitted a CEC grant to help modify the plant for CNG production in an effort to allow the plant to receive high strength waste (HSW) from food and beer industry customers. The element will modify the existing septage receiving station to receive HSW and food waste, add a second biosolids screw press and building, and associated site piping. Once completed, a CNG generation and dispensing facility would be added to convert the bio- methane to CNG to fuel City vehicles. The next step in the plan to upgrade ECWRF is to move Element 1 - Solids Digestion and Processing Upgrades into design. Should the Council choose to proceed, the project will be ready for construction approximately one year after final design, environmental review, permitting and bidding is completed. An award of a second professional services contract for Element 2 — Tertiary Treatment Upgrades' will be placed on a future Council agenda to move that project into design to enhance the chances of grant funding. Element 3 — Aeration Upgrades' is still under study and may not be ready to proceed to design until the full benefits of Element 1 can be evaluated after start up. The Energy Element — CNG Production Upgrades' will be evaluated from an enterprise standpoint to assure that the costs can be borne by the industrial users who would primarily be benefiting from the upgrades, net any energy production benefit the City accrues. DISCUSSION In March, 2013, the Public Works and Utilities Department solicited proposals for engineering and design services for Ellis Creek Upgrades through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Seven Statements of Qualifications (SOQ's) were received in April 2013 that addressed the firms' wastewater treatment engineering expertise. The engineering services included in the RFQ are very specialized and Petaluma firms do not have the expertise or the capacity to perform the analysis and design. As a result of the initial RFQ process, the City hired one of the films to conduct the Headworks Design and Plant Assessment addressed earlier. A list of consultants was then developed for the subject project, based on the previous SOQ proposal review. Three consultants considered most qualified from the SOQ process were solicited for engineering and design services proposal through a Request for Proposal (RFP) on December 16, 2014. The three firms were Brown and Caldwell, Kennedy- Jenks, and Carollo Engineers. Carollo Engineers was the only firm to submit a proposal for the subject project. Carollo Engineers has significant expertise in all areas of wastewater treatment facilities design, permitting and operations. Their team has the expertise to address the City's needs, and is based nearby in Walnut Creek. Previous clients include Napa Sanitation District, City of Santa Rosa, City of South San Francisco, and City of San Mateo. Carollo Engineers have an intimate knowledge of the ECWRF, having provided planning, design and construction services for over 25 10 years in the development of the plant. Many of the Carollo team members, including the proposed project manager, were involved in the original design of the facility. Carollo staff is very familiar with current operations and maintenance staff, other local facilities, and the regulators at the San Francisco Bay Water Quality Control Board. Furthermore, Carollo has continued to provide support to the City since the plant was built, at times without requesting compensation. The services include complete design and engineering services during construction for a new anaerobic digester, gravity belt thickener, strain press, pumps, modifications to the existing methane digester, heating and mixing equipment, upgrades to the sludge conveyance equipment, and addition of a truck scale and redundant grit classifier. The tasks of the PSA include background review, design assumptions, criteria workshops and summaries for $88,330. The final design is the largest task in the PSA for $534,623. Bidding and engineering services during construction account for $253,630. Environmental, support services, and project management complete the PSA at $123,297. The scope of work is included in Attachment 2. Project and construction management services will be provided by City staff. It is recommended that the Council award the subject PSA to Carollo Engineers based on a not to exceed contract with a limit of $999,880. The schedule for the solids process upgrades includes completing the design and selecting a contractor by April 2016. The construction is estimated to take up to 10 months. The construction phase is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of 2017. The proposed action meets Council Goals: "Plan for and implement priority capital projects as funding permits ", and "Focus attention on supporting food and beverage processing, manufacturing, and alternative energy business clusters." FINANCIAL IMPACTS The total CIP budget for the Ellis Creek Solids Handling Upgrades (C66501305) is currently budgeted as follows: Project Phase Approved CIP Budget (1) Planning /Environmental $ 385,000 Design $ 847,000 Salaries and Benefits $ 40,000 Construction Contracts $ 7,777,000 Construction Management $ 135,000 Contingency $ 700,000 CIP Overhead /Administration $ 176,000 TOTAL $10,065,000 1: Includes proposed FY 16 -17 CIP Budget. 26 This budget will be amended to increase the portion allocated to Design, with corresponding decreases in Planning /Environmental and Construction.
