TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Tait, Public Works Services Director
By: Eddie Chan, P.E., Principal Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH TETRA TECH, INC.
FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE SEWER MASTER PLAN UPDATE IN
THE AMOUNT OF $196,795
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) is responsible for the operation and
maintenance of the City’s sanitary sewer system. The City’s sanitary sewer collection
system consists of 138 miles of City-owned pipeline. The PWSD utilizes the Sewer Master
Plan to evaluate the condition of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system. The Sewer
Master Plan was originally completed in 1998 and was last updated in 2006. It is
necessary to update the Sewer Master Plan and re-evaluate the condition and capacity
of the sanitary sewer system. The Sewer Master Plan update will assist in the
development of future capital improvement projects to ensure the sanitary sewer system
meets current and future wastewater collection demands.
The PWSD solicited a Request for Proposal for the Sewer Master Plan update. Based on
the evaluated proposals, it is recommended that the City Council approve, and authorize
and direct the City Manager to execute, a Professional Services Agreement with Tetra
Tech, Inc. for the Sewer Master Plan Update in the amount of $196,795.
BACKGROUND
The PWSD provides wastewater collection for approximately 56,000 residents within
eleven square miles. The City’s sanitary sewer collection system consists of 138 miles of
City owned pipeline. The City’s sewer pipes are an average of 50years in age and
primarily are made of vitrified clay. Despite the average age, overall, the City’s sewer
system is in good condition. Throughout the years, the Sewer Master Plan has helped
identify capital improvement projects to ensure that the City’s sewer pipes are replaced

before they come to the end of their useful life span, and to identify sections of the sewer
system that are at maximum capacity.
The Sewer Master Plan is a vital planning tool that evaluates the current state of the City’s
sanitary sewer system, and it is in need of an update. The Sewer Master Plan Update
will include an assessment of the hydraulic condition of the sanitary sewer system, an
update of our hydraulic modeling software, and will examine our sanitary sewer system
maintenance and operation program. Also included in the Sewer Master Plan Update will
be a recommended 20-year capital improvement plan aimed at improving the condition,
performance, and reliability of the sanitary sewer system to meet current and future
wastewater collection demands.
The Sewer Master Plan Update will include all of the necessary elements needed to
provide an in-depth investigation of the sewer system. All past performance data,
accomplishments from the previous sewer master plan update, and recommended
improvements based on modeling results will be carefully reviewed and evaluated. A
thorough investigation of financial constraints, construction priorities, and compliance with
State Water Resources Control Board Waste Discharge Requirements will also be
provided.
DISCUSSION
A Notice Inviting Proposals was published in the City’s local adjudicated newspaper and
proposal packages were provided to seven firms that are known to be experts in the field
of municipal sanitary sewer system planning. Three proposals were received, and they
were reviewed, evaluated, and ranked based on the firm’s experience, capability to
complete the work requested, qualifications of personnel, record of success,
implementation timeline, and cost. The results of the evaluation, with each company’s
ranking and proposed cost, are as follows:
RANK CONSULTING FIRM Score COST
1 Tetra Tech, Inc. 92% $ 196,795
2 Dudek 86% $ 199,925
3 ATKINS, Inc. 70% $ 210,055
After careful review and consideration, it was determined that Tetra Tech, Inc. was the
best qualified firm to prepare the Sewer Master Plan Update. Tetra Tech was rated the
highest based on their successful completion of projects of similar complexity and
requirements and the project team’s technical and project management approach. They
have demonstrated an understanding of the project and provided a proposal that would
suit the City’s needs for this Sewer Master Plan Update. Tetra Tech has been responsible
for sewer system master plans for a number of municipal agencies in Southern California
and has the necessary expertise in sewer system modeling. The proposal evaluation
committee believes the consultant team will provide a high-quality, cost-effective, and
timely report.

The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as it can be seen

Improvement Program for this project. The total cost for the Sewer Master Plan Update
is $196,795.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project and is therefore exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”);
and approve, authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc. for the preparation of the Sewer Master Plan Update in
the amount of $196,795.

EXHIBIT A
Scope of Services
Scope of Services for the Sewer Master Plan Update shall include, but are not limited, to the
following:
A) Research and review existing data. This is to include all available maps and records
(2006 Sewer Master Plan, topographic, aerial, soil, land use, GIS data, CCTV inspections
data, and etc.), local/regional drainage and sewer reports, regional planning documents,
and existing sewer plans. The obtained data shall be digitized (if not already in electronic
format), organized, and copied onto Consultants server for convenient access throughout
the life of the project. File names shall include dates when appropriate (e.g. when there
are several versions of certain data) and origination when appropriate (e.g. when if there
were several agencies providing population projections).
Field investigation may also required. Consultant may expect to spend a day with City
operations and/or engineering staff conducting interviews and visiting significant
conveyance system locations such as split manholes, problem/spill prone areas,
significant connections to the County, difficult areas to access due to traffic or terrain, or
other areas identified by the City. The interviews shall provide information concerning to
the operations or City engineering staff.
B) Analyze existing and anticipated land uses within the City, in accordance with the City’s
General Plan and the discharge generation factors for the different land uses within the
sewer study area. Review and update flow projections in accordance with the City’s
General Plan.
Consultant shall utilize the City’s GIS for land use definitions and area calculations.
Typical sewage generation factors (and factors developed from flow monitoring) shall be
applied to the land uses to develop preliminary estimated dry weather average and peak
flows. Estimated flows will then be checked against measured flows from task ‘C’ below,
adjustments will be made to the average, and peak sewage generation factors for land
uses as needed.
After dry flows are determined a similar process shall be followed to estimate the peaking
factor to represent infiltration and inflow.
C) Divide the sewer study area into subtributary areas (to be recommended by the
Consultant) and monitor the sewage flow from collector lines in each sub-area in wet
weather. Dry weather monitoring will also be required in all lines that were identified as
being at a minimum of 40% capacity in the City’s previous Master Plan. Perform flow and
rainfall monitoring program to obtain the necessary data to characterize flow conditions
during dry and wet-weather conditions. The analysis shall be used to recommend further
diagnostic activities for the rehabilitation of I/I sources. It shall also be used to calibrate
the hydraulic model of the City’s sanitary sewer collection system.
Monitoring will be with the use of Smart Covers. The Consultant has assumed 15 Smart
Covers for a 4-week period.
14
24347.00006\30493020.2
Prepare a memo recommending the location of the Smart Covers including the type of
data expected (e.g. to determine sewage generation rate for a specific land use, or to
measure flow of a major/problem line to check against model predictions). The memo
shall identify the City’s existing 8 Smart Covers and make recommendations for using or
moving those to more advantageous areas (if possible). The memo will also address if
any of the 15 Smart Covers will be retained by the City for future use.
D) Analyze the sewer study area to determine the most practical network of sewer lines
serving each sub-area.
E) Perform a General Deficiency Analysis of the existing sewer system elements including
collector lines and appurtenances.
F) Evaluate the City’s wastewater collection system, including an analysis of existing and
previous problem areas as identified in the 2006 Sewer System Master Plan, and as
modified by City staff.
G) Recommend planning and design criteria, in cooperation with City staff, to ensure current
City policies and standards are taken into account and examined.
Make recommendations for minimum and maximum velocities in the conveyance system.
Make recommendations for maximum depth of flow for various pipeline diameters. Make
recommendations for repair of various types of defects. For example, consider pipeline
replacements, various trenchless repair methods such as CIPP, spot repairs, manhole
lining, pipe bursting, and the conditions when the various repair methods may be
beneficial. Make recommendations for grease traps and enforcement of current rules,
where this is an issue. Make recommendations for storm drain connections to the sewer
system, where this is an issue.
H) A Hydraulic Analysis utilizing a PC-based computer model linked to AutoCAD and GIS
that will be compatible with Windows 10 operation system at the client (City) side shall
be conducted to evaluate all system elements based upon current and projected land use
in accordance with the City’s General Plan. Conduct interviews with City’s Public Works
Operations and Maintenance personnel to obtain insight into system needs. These
interviews will assist with the identification of specific system needs. Collect and review
information on recently completed sewer rehabilitation projects and other sewer
improvement projects planned for the near future. Information gathered shall be used to
ascertain the effectiveness of the proposed CIP projects, and to incorporate them into
the hydraulic model:
1. Modeling: Modeling shall be done for City services area. For areas outside City
limits, but within its sphere of influence, the Consultant is to supply the City with all
available plans and studies.
One scenario (wet weather) will be required for existing land use and other
parameters as defined mutually.
For the Sewer Master Plan, the PC-based SWMM model, or other fully dynamic
model, shall be used.
15
24347.00006\30493020.2
The City is currently using InfoSewer modeling software. At a minimum, the
Consultant is to supply a model that is compatible with the InfoSewer. The
Consultant will use either H2O Map Sewer, or InfoSewer.
2. Deficiency Analysis: The Consultant shall conduct a deficiency/prioritization
analysis based on data such as un-built, undersized, age, material, grease hot
spot, root intrusion and other testing data, flow monitoring, etc. Recommendation
shall include shortand long-term solution that addresses each hydraulic deficiency
identified in the evaluation.
I) Identify the EPA’s Capacity, Management, Operation, and Maintenance (CMOM)
Program implications. Perform a thorough understanding of the CMOM standards, and
proposed recommendations to meets applicable CMOM regulations. The Sewer Master
Plan Update shall address all requirements of the CMOM regulations.
J) Evaluate and recommend improvements to the City’s current sewer system maintenance
program (i.e., labor/equipment needs, easements and manholes properly identified with
sufficient access, etc.).
Evaluate the 8 existing Smart Covers including effectiveness of the locations. Make
recommendations for additional level monitoring locations (or removal of existing) and/or
move existing locations. Address conveyance system locations with difficult or no access
due to land use or land ownership/easements. Address manholes with difficult access
due to physical limitations (such as no ladder or an unsafe/unreliable ladder). Identify
equipment needed for safe access (e.g. air ‘sniffer’, confined space requirements, et al).
Make recommendations for continued/regular video assessments of pipelines and
manholes (in compliance with CMOM).
K) Develop a comprehensive, multi-year (20 years), capital improvement program to meet
increased flow demands taking into consideration not only the hydraulic deficiencies but
also proposed system improvements that maximize I/I removal, based on CCTV
inspections and flow monitoring results.
The CIP will include the reason for the improvement recommendation ( e.g. existing flow
deficiency, future flow deficiency, existing maintenance problem, etc.).
L) Develop cost estimate and prioritization list with City staff for all improvement upgrades.
The criteria for assigning priorities shall be identified and then applied to the CIP. For
example, existing deficiencies that could lead to a spill would be very high priority, while
a flow that is only projected to become deficient in the future would be a very low priority.
‘Hot spot’ maintenance issues will be prioritized based on their frequency of becoming a
problem, and on the severity of the issue when it does become a problem.
M) Prepare a final Summary Report comprising the entire Sewer Master Plan and
Appendices. Two (2) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy in “portable document
format” (*.pdf) format shall be provided for City use. A minimum of forty (40) hours of
technical training for City Public Works Services Department staff shall be provided on
the Sewer System Hydraulic model. One (1) server based licensed copy of the program
shall also be provided to the Public Works Services Department on CD and installed onto
the City’s Windows Server.
