Agenda Item No. 6
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: David A. Webb, Public Works Director- (949) 644 -3330,

TITLE: Big Canyon Reservoir Flow Metering Vault and Treatment Improvements — Approval
of Professional Services Agreement with Stantec Consulting, Inc.
ABSTRACT:
In May 2015, staff issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) for engineering services to design flow metering
and treatment improvements at Big Canyon Reservoir. After reviewing and rating the proposals, staff is
requesting City Council's approval to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Stantec
Consulting, Inc. of Irvine, California.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Stantec Consulting, Inc. of Irvine, California, for
design services for the Big Canyon Reservoir Flow Metering Vault and Treatment Improvements project at
a not -to- exceed price of $158,403, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this design work within the Water Enterprise
project fund (7502- C6002019; 70101 - 980000- 16W13).
DISCUSSION:
The City of Newport Beach conducted a study in November 2014, to analyze flow measurement accuracy
and water disinfection at the Big Canyon Reservoir flow control building. The analysis found two areas that
could be improved. First, the existing flow meter is a 42 -inch propeller meter which is not ideal for
measuring low flows. The second issue is the water disinfection dosing and mixing process can be
improved with a flash mixing device before entering the water distribution system. The proposed design
involves constructing a concrete vault to house a new 30 -inch magnetic flow meter to replace the 42 -inch
propeller meter and installing a new in -line mixing device.
The Zone 3 Pump Station located at Big Canyon Reservoir consists of four pumps; two 150 horsepower
and two 300 horsepower pumps. Recently one of the two Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) that operate a
300 - horsepower pumps failed. These VFDs regulate power to the pumps that serve Zone 3 and are at the
a
end of their useful lives. To ensure water distribution system reliability and redundancy, the proposed
engineering services will include electrical design for the replacement of both 300 horsepower VFDs.
Stantec Consulting has the experience and expertise to prepare plans and specifications for the
replacement VFDs as part of the PSA.
Staff requested proposals for design services from five (5) engineering firms and received four (4)
proposals. The City review team consisted of staff from the Municipal Operations and Public Works
Departments. Using a qualification -based selection process, each of the four proposals were evaluated
and scored based on the consultant team's project understanding, experience, qualifications, planning and
design approach, design ideas, and projected level of effort. Stantec Consultants, Inc. was selected by the
review team as the most qualified and responsive firm for this project. Stantec also has an impressive track
record having completed design of flow and treatment improvements for various agencies throughout
Southern California.
The proposed Scope of Work includes research and data collection; utility coordination; topographic
survey; geotechnical survey, specifications of VFDs, preparation of final construction plans, specifications,
estimates; and construction support services for a not -to- exceed design fee of $158,403.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in
Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at
which the City Council considers the item).

The overall project scope of work will accomplish the
followingtasks:
• Preparation of construction plans, specifications, and
estimates
• Geotechnical engineering services
• Design surveying services
• Bid period support (when requested by the City)
• Construction engineering support (when requested by
the City)
Task 1: Preparation of Construction Plans,
Specifications and Estimates
A. Project Kick -off, Data Gathering and Review
We will meet with City staff to discuss the design
parameters, project goals, lines of communication, planned
scope ofwork, project schedule, site - specific conditions,
and latest developments. We will obtain record drawings,
planning documents, chemical treatment parameters, and
other miscellaneous and applicable reports necessary to
prepare the project documents.
8. Site Walk
Stantec staff will perform a site walk to identify existing
conditions that may affect the design and construction of
the project. Stantec prefers that during the site walk, the
City's engineering and operations staff should be present.
C. Evaluate Existing Chemical Injection and Mixing System
Stantec will evaluate the existing chemical injection and
mixing system. At a minimum, this evaluation will include
reviewing any existing reports analyzing the current
conditions, the performance of the existing equipment,
and history of maintenance issues. Vendors and company
experts will be contacted to develop various mixing device
options and operating scenarios. The best available options
will be evaluated and a recommended solution will be
presented to the City for consideration.
D. Locating New 30 -inch MogMeter Vault
Stantec will evaluate several locations along the existing
30 -inch effluent pipeline for the new vault. Each loca-
tion will be evaluated in regards to location, size of vault,
impacts to the existing site, and maintenance constraints.
We will present the recommended location to the City for
approval.
E. Technical Design Memorandum
We will prepare a Technical Design Memorandum (TDM)
that will summarize the information developed above in
creating the design criteria for the project. The TDM will
be used as the basis for the preparation of the construction
drawings and the technical specifications for proposed
improvements. We will prepare a preliminary estimate
of probable construction costs and an updated project
schedule. Stantec will present recommendations as
required to accommodate the new metering vault and
mixing device.
F. TDM Workshop
We will meet with City staff to present and discuss the
TDM. This is intended to be a workshop setting to provide
immediate feedback, input, and any decision making
required to proceed towards the 50% Design submittal. We
will address all comments, provide responses, and make
the appropriate revisions to the TDM. A final TDM will
be prepared and copies will be submitted to the City along
with the 50% Design submittal.
G. Construction Plans, Specifications, and Estimates
Stantec will prepare a complete set of construction plans,
specifications, and estimate for the purpose of receiving
competitive public bidding based on the approved
solutions.

Task 6: Zone III Pump 1 and 4 VFD
Replacement (Optional - When
Requested by the City)
We will engineer and design a variable frequency drive
(VFD) replacements for Water Supply Zone III Pumps 1
and 4. The pumps utilize 300hp motors. The existing 18
pulse VFDs are manufactured by ABB. The existing ABB
VFDs will be removed in their entirety, including their
enclosures. The desired replacement VFDs are Toshiba
Inc.'s model W7. The W7 will be an 18 pulse VFD to meet
the requirements of IEEE standard 519, Recommended
Practice and Requirements for Harmonic Control in
Electric Power Systems. The drives will be pre - purchased
by the City.
The design approach will assume that the existing feeder
conductors from the switchboard to the VFD and from the
VFD to the pump motor are sufficiently long and do not
need to be replaced. A note will be placed on the drawing
requiring the Contractor to splice additional cable to the
existing cable if they are not sufficiently long.
The design approach will re- implement the control
strategy for the existing VFDs. This control strategy is
depicted on original construction drawing E -9.
The design approach will assume that the existing pump
control panel (PCP) will be replaced prior to the VFD
replacement, as indicated by the City during the meeting
on June 22, 2015 at the pump station. The reprogramming
of the programmable logic controller (PLC) and human
machine interface (HMI) software will not be in the scope
