1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Construction Manager will play a key role in the successful construction of the Ellis Creek
Water Recycling Facility. The Construction Manager will be responsible for applying and
integrating comprehensive project controls to ensure the project is constructed in accordance
with the plans and specifications, and help manage the critical issues of time, cost, scope, quality
and safety. In Spring 2004 the City conducted a rigorous selection process for a Construction
Manager. On June 7, 2004 the City Council authorized hiring The Covello Group to conduct a
detailed bid -ability and construct -ability review of the engineering drawings and specifications,
create an opinion of probable construction cost in a volatile bidding environment, and support
the project through the bid phase. The Covello Group has provided service on over $51.8
million dollars of work for Union Sanitary District and $79.2 million dollars of work for Dublin
San Ramon Services District. Furthermore, the firm has committed to provide a qualified
construction management team with over 40 years of combined experience. The Covello Group
has a proven track record of controlling schedule and costs. The Dublin San Ramon Services
District stated the following "no claims on these projects and the change orders have been about
3-4%." The company is known for being proactive and solution orientated when addressing
environmental issues. Based on The Covello Group's knowledge of the Ellis Creek Project, their
experience with projects of a similar magnitude, and their keen ability to recognize and respect
the essential role of all other parties, City Management recommends The Covello Group be
retained as the Construction Manager through construction, start up, and warranty phases of the
Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility construction.
City Management recommends the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute a professional services agreement with The Covello Group for Construction
Management and Inspection Services in support of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility
Construction.
2. BACKGROUND:
Project Overview
Petaluma's Water Recycling Facility is being developed under the following program:
• Phase 1 —Project Report
• Phase 2 —Project Development
• Phase 3 — Construction and Start-up
Phase one concluded on December 11, 2000 with the City Council's acceptance of the Project
Report, The City began work on Phase 2 — Project Development in January 2001 and completed
approximately 50% design in November 2002. The City completed a Value Engineering Study
in December 2002. Based on results of the VE Study, the City commenced the Parcel A
Feasibility Study in January of 2003. On August 1$, 2003 City Council adopted a resolution for
engineering services in support of locating the new Water Recycling Facility at 4100 Lakeville
Highway (Parcel A). The design of the new Water Recycling Facility was completed on April
26, 2005 and bid on July 14, 2005. The project is anticipated to break ground in September 2005
and construction to continue for 36 months followed by anadditional 6 months of start up. The
warranty period continues for another year.
Construction Management
Key stakeholders during construction of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility include the
City, the Contractor, the Construction Manager, the Design Engineer, the Environmental
Manager, and the Programming Manager. The Contractor is responsible for the construction of
the project and will oversee all the work performed by its subcontractors. The Construction
Manager is responsible for applying and integrating comprehensive project controls to ensure the
project is constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications, and help manage the
critical issues of time, cost, scope, quality and safety. For a construction project to be successful,
it is important that the key stakeholders work together and agree on a way of approaching the
project.
Given the nature and scope of the project, the construction site will resemble a small city. It is
the Construction Manager's responsibility to ensure that the work in this environment proceeds
in a coordinated and timely manner. The following items help illustrate the magnitude of the
project:
• At the peak of construction, there will be over 120 laborers on site with a monthly
expenditure for constriction materials, labor, and equipment ranging from $4 to
$6 million dollars.
• Given the size and complexity of the project, it is anticipated there may be
approximately one thousand (1,000) submittals, five hundred (500) change orders
and 1,400 contractor requests for information / clarification. The construction
manager will manage this tremendous flow of information and communications to
help keep the project moving and well coordinated. By the time the project is
complete there will likely be up to ten 3 -drawer file cabinets full of the paperwork
required to manage and document the project construction. The documentation is
so very intense that an Access database will be utilized to track and organize the
information.
• Constriction will include coordination with 13 Federal, State and local regulatory
agencies, who are going to be strictly focused on their area of concern. It is the
Constniction Manager's responsibility to see that the regulator's issues are
addressed without negatively impacting the project.
It is likely that construction will be taking place at over 20 to 30 different
locations on the site at one time. The construction management team will be the
City's eyes and ears on the construction site to monitor the quality of tlris effort.
The construction management team coordinates the contractor's activities with
the design engineer's intention, environmental regulatory requirements, and
programming control to provide the City with an operating facility that will serve
the citizenry of the City for years to come.
The Constriction Manager represents the City at the construction site, and works to ensure the
project is properly constructed. The Construction Manager's work activities include:
Administer the Construction Contract. This task requires the Construction
Manager to establish and maintain project coordination, to schedule and conduct project
meetings, communicate decisions, to provide a document tracking system to maintain all
construction records and documentation, to coordinate contractor submittals and check
for general conformity to the contract documents, to coordinate with outside agencies and
the public, to coordinate the system for processing clarifications and changes, to provide
an independent cost estimate for all proposed changes, negotiate all change orders,
coordinate a system for logging and tracking changes, review and process progress
payment requests, help develop the initial baseline schedule, comment on the monthly
update schedule, coordinate and schedule the work of the Environmental Manager for
conformance with the EIR, Wetlands Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, and the
mitigations associated with the Biological Assessment, and provide monthly reports.
Field Observation and Inspection. This task includes inspection of construction
activities and monitoring for conformance with plans and specifications in the areas of
civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation & control, coatings, and
corrosion. This role includes daily reporting and digital photography of progress,
monitoring traffic control plans, coordination with utility companies, record drawings
review, coordinating and scheduling City Building Department inspections, and support
of Fire Department requests.
Quality Control and Specialty Inspections. Materials testing (concrete, asphalt,
etc) and specialty inspections, surveying, coating observation, shoring and dewatering
submittal review, electrical observation and technical support, cathodic protection testing
and laboratory analyses, monitoring mass fill settlement, and sub -grade preparation and
fill operation.
Project Coordination. Coordination with other projects (biosolids removal,
rip/rap, etc) in the vicinity of the Ellis Creels Project, coordination with the programmer,
and basic negotiation of disputes.
Start Up Phase. Covello will witness test equipment and facilities prior to start
up, and facilitate the Contractor, Engineer, Programmer and the City on the development
of the Startup Plan, to provide oversight, administration and coordination of startup and
testing, witness equipment system testing.
Training. Covello will coordinate training requirements and develop a training
schedule, and will provide digital video taping of the training sessions for major
equipment.
Corrective Work Item List. Prepare corrective work item list to verify
completion prior to issuance of substantial completion, conduct final cross check of
Construction Manager's record documents with action list for contractor's additional
required entries, and prepare Substantial Completion Certificate.
Final Inspection and Close Out. Conduct final inspection and prepare list of
outstanding deficiencies, and punch list, verify completion of punch list work, record
document submittals and Operations and Maintenance Manual submittals.
Warranty Closeout. Prepare and maintain warranty file and log, assist in
defining the warranty procedures, participate in monthly and one year service
inspections, follow up and after one year suggest a means for resolving any outstanding
issues.
The construction management team will include the support of several sub -consultants to provide
the technical expertise and background necessary to produce a quality project. These sub -
consultants have experience to support the following specific work areas:
• Materials Testing and Special Inspections. Special inspections and testing will
be performed as required by the Uniform Building Code. Material testing will be
required for the more than 20,000 cubic yards of concrete to be placed and the
approximately 80,000 cubic yards of earthwork to be moved.
• Surveying. The surveyors will check the contractor's site layout and monitor the
settlement from the surcharge loading.
• Testing and Observation of Coatings. This is particularly important due to the
corrosive environment at a wastewater facility.
• Testing of Cathodic Protection Systems. The cathodic protection systems are
required to protect underground metal piping in the corrosive soils at the site.
• Observation and Testing of the Electrical and Instrumentation Systems. The
new plant will include a sophisticated and complex electrical and instrumentation
system which will require special experience and training for the observation and
testing of these installations.
• Shoring and Dewatering Design Review. Due to the soil and water conditions
at the site and the depth of the excavations for the new facilities the contractor
will be required to design special shoring systems for retention of the open
excavations and dewatering systems to control the groundwater. An engineering
firm with particular experience in these design will be on the team to review these
design plans.
in summary, every reference check for The Covello Group indicated a culture of listening that
resulted in successful management of change for their client. The City of Petaluma's project is
of a magnitude that success will be defined by how cohesive the Construction Manager can
manage the various issues over the 42 -month construction season. It has been demonstrated to
City Management through our prescreening, proposal, interview, reference checks and year long
experience with The Covello Group that the team presented by The Covello Group can meet the
demands of our complicated project.
City Management recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a
professional services agreement with The Covello Group for Construction Management Services
in support of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility construction. The Covello Group and the
City have initiated negotiations on a comprehensive scope of work. A copy of the scope of work
and associated cost detail is provided in Attachment A.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatives to be considered at the August 1, 2005 Council meeting include:
1. Take no action.
2. Select another firm.
3. Approve resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional
Services Agreement with The Covello Group for Construction Management
Services in support of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility construction.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Proposed costs for Construction Management, Inspection and Testing Services are $10,231,509.
The total cost for this phase of work is approximately 9.27% of the construction cost. This is
typical for construction management services provided for the City. For instance, the
construction management services for the Pond Influent Pump Station Project was 9.4% of the
construction cost; the construction management services for the Disinfection Facility Upgrade
Project was 13.8% of the construction cost.
The proposal includes full time Construction Manager, Resident Engineer, Office Engineer,
Cost/Scheduler Engineer, Administration Assistant and from one to eight inspectors at the site on
a given day depending upon the Contractor's schedule, The proposal includes a part time Project
Manager. The proposal includes approximately $1.5 million for necessary quality control 1
testing subconsultant support.
5. CONCLUSION:
The Covello Group is being recommended because the firm has performed exceptionally well
over the past year and has extensive experience with construction management service on water
recycling facility projects of similar magnitude and complexity as the Ellis Creek Water
Recycling Facility. The Covello Group has provided service on over $51.8 million dollars of
work for Union Sanitary District and $79.2 million dollars of work for Dublin San Ramon
Services District. Furthermore, the firm has committed to provide a qualified construction
management team with over 40 years of combined experience. In addition, The Covello Group
has a proven track record of controlling schedule and costs. Dublin San Ramon stated the
following "no claims on these projects and the change orders have been about 3-4%." The
company is known for being proactive and solution orientated when addressing environmental
issues. The Covello Group core values are based on teamwork and the company has promised to
lead the Team during construction while recognizing and respecting the essential roll of all other
parties. The Covello Group has established management systems for project management. The
Covello Group has impeccable reference checks with all previous clients contacted giving
effusive praise of the recommended Project Manager and Construction Manager for the City's
project. Thus, it is with due diligence and a rigorous selection process that City Management
recommends The Covello Group as the Construction Manager for the new Water Recycling
Facility.

WHEREAS, in January 1997, the City received proposals from Montgomery United
Water (MUW) and US Filter/EOS;
WHEREAS, the Citizens' Wastewater Advisory Committee considered the proposals on
May 28, 1997, Jime 3, 1997, June 4, 1997, July 2, 1997, October 20, 1997, October 30,
1997, November 4, 1997, November 18, 1997, and on December 3, 1997;
WHEREAS, the City Council considered the proposals on July 7, 1997, September 8,
1997, September 15, 1997, September 22, 1997, September 29, 1997, October 6, 1997,
December 3, 1997, and December 8, 1997;
WHEREAS, on January 5, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-11, which
selected MUW for contract negotiations;
WHEREAS, negotiations with MUW on technical, legal and agreement issues began on
January 27, 1998 and proceeded through spring 1999;
WHEREAS, on September 21, 1998, the City Council, recognizing the need for
development of a public alternative to the proposed privatization project, approved
preparation of the wastewater treatment facility master plan;
WHEREAS, on September 21, 1999, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99-188,
which terminated the privatization process and established City ownership of the new
wastewater treatment facility. Reasons cited for this determination included, among
others:
Risk of Change Required Over 30 -Year Contract Term. Changes in the
City's needs may occur during the 30 -year life of the contract. The City is at a
disadvantage by being able to negotiate with only one party for changes in the
facility's capacity.
/ Requirement of Fair Market Value Purchase. In order for MUW to retain
tax ownership, the City's option to purchase the facility at the end of the contract
term would have to be at fair market value. The price of the facility could not be
fixed in the contract, but would depend on the value of the facility at the time of
the exercise of the option, thereby putting the City and ratepayers at risk of having
to pay for part of the plant twice.
/ Lack of City Approval of Design. In order for MUW to retain tax
ownership, Section 4.8.1 of the agreement limited the City's participation in the
design process.
/ Third Party Services. In order for MUW to retain tax ownership, Section
5.2.4 would allow the Company to provide services to others (in addition to the
City) at the Project Site.
/ Inability to Agree On Contract Language. After extensive negotiations
between the City and MUW, specific contract language on the above and other
critical issues could not be agreed upon.
