HB -127- Item 9. - I
Dept. ID PW 15-026 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 6/1/2015
Analysis:
On January 26, 2015, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") for On-Call
Engineering & Professional Consulting Services. Proposals were requested and submitted in
compliance with Chapter 3.03 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. Seventy-eight (78)
proposals were received for the following eight categories of Civil Engineering services: Water
Engineering, Development Plan Checking and Entitlement Review Services, Civil/Sewer
Engineering, Geotechnical and Materials Testing, Traffic Engineering, Surrey, Ocean Engineering,
and Architectural Services. In accordance with qualifications based selected procurement per the
Federal "Brooks Act," State SB 419, and the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 3.03
"Professional Services" the Public Works Department established a review board. Each firm stated
their engineering category of expertise with their proposal, and proposals were then evaluated and
ranked by eight (8) review boards established by the Public Works Department. At a minimum the
top three (3) firms were selected for each category to increase opportunity for competitive
proposals for future projects from qualified on-call consultants.
The four contracts recommended in this Request for Council Action (RCA) are for support staff for
the design and construction of the capital improvement projects related to water infrastructure water
modeling and system master plan updates. Other categories and groupings of on-call consulting
services will be brought to the City Council separately for approval.
The City's Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") is approximately $42.8 million in Fiscal Year
2014/15, and exceeds $52 million with continuing of funds for projects approved from previous
years. Typical design and construction support cost from use of consultants on a CIP project can
vary between ten (10) to twenty (20) percent of total costs for a CIP project. Therefore, it is
practical to conservatively assume minimum annual consultant costs would be around $5 million to
the City for total CIP projects or approximately $15 million over the next three (3) years.
Some of the typical projects for water on-cali design services include;
• New and/or rehabilitation of water wells
• Replacement of aging water mains and distribution pipelines
• Rehabilitation of water reservoirs
• Water treatment systems
The total amount of professional services contracts awarded in previous years is shown as follows
of which water is a portion of.
FY 2011/12 FY 2012/13 FY 2013/14 FY 2014/15 (Projected)
$4,200,000 $2,600,000 $3,400,000 $4,500,000
Water improvement projects typically are the largest expenditure category. Therefore, four (4)
consultants were selected to meet projected workload over the next three years. The sum of these
contracts is $4 million over the term of the contract or an annual average of$1.33 million.
Public Works Commission Action: Not required.
Environmental Status: Not applicable
Strategic Plan Goal: Enhance and maintain infrastructure

right to receive compensation and agrees to indemnify the CITY for any work performed prior to
approval of insurance by the CITY.

analysis and design, urban drainage facility master plan development, floodplain analysis, watershed
modeling, sediment transport and regional flood control facility plans. He has developed significant
specialized experience in river engineering and geomorphic studies, including assessment and design of
river/stream restoration programs that incorporate unique biological control measures as well as creative
stabilization techniques. He has been responsible for analysis and design of numerous urban drainage
systems and flood control facilities throughout Southern California, particularly in the Orange County region
and has assisted in developing several drainage criteria manuals for different agencies.
Strong Familiarity with City's Infrastructure and Understanding of Improvement Needs
Faced with additional aging infrastructure as well as new opportunities for reliability and efficiency
improvements including potentially additional lower cost water supply, PACE understands the City is in
need of additional creative and effective engineering consulting, design, and implementation of projects that
will meet the needs of today and be flexible with changing needs of the City in the future. PACE will
continue to support to the City in key areas crucial to success and focus on delivering innovative,
aesthetic, and constructible solutions with minimal maintenance effort and costs. We will also
continue to use our unique in-house piloting and water quality laboratory to optimize the water quality of the
City's Water Production System. PACE's senior-level staff with high technical competence and a culture for
"hands-on" experience which includes over 20 design-build and CMAR wastewater treatment projects in
the past ten years which has developed engineers with a unique background in operations, construction,
and technology development that ensures the selection, layout, and implementation of tanks and
equipment will be efficient and operator friendly.
Expertise in Critical Engineerinq Areas to Service City Well
PACE possesses a significant amount of experience on municipal/county capital improvement projects on a
variety of drainage flood control, water conveyance, and water and sewer pump stations, sewer pipelines,
sewer collection systems, sewer rehabilitation, sewer flow monitoring, and water and wastewater treatment
projects throughout southern California communities. Our experience has taught us that capital
improvement projects require careful attention to project budget, schedule, objectives and impacts to the
public during implementation. Several storm drain / sewer line projects have been completed within high
density areas with limited access / right-of-way. Unique and creative techniques have been developed to
address these constraints. A recent example is on a storm channel improvements project within the City of
Huntington Beach, performed for Orange County Public Works. The project called for an existing concrete
trapezoidal channel and 63-inch RCP to be replaced to increase capacity. This channel crosses under the
Edinger Avenue 1-405 freeway, creating numerous construction challenges, the horizontal alignment of the
PACE
Mr. Jim Slobojan
City of Huntington Beach On-Call Engineering&Professional Consulting Services RFQ Page 5 of 5
channel was not straight and there were multiple utility lines to avoid and the influence on the existing
bridge structure needed to be avoided. To overcome these challenges, a temporary shoring system was
developed to avoid the need for conventional tunneling or jacking, which was more cost effective and
allowed for the installation of a double RCB facility rather than parallel pipes which improved the hydraulics.
By selecting the PACE team, the City will realize several benefits:
1. Strong technical team capable of improving existing operations through creative ideas developed through
existing piloting, lab, and fieldwork.
2. Real-world construction and operations cost estimation and evaluations by experts in their respective fields.
The Meredith Pump Station Cost Estimate provided by PACE was within 3%accuracy of the actual construction
bid.
3. Operations support during construction and post-upgrade operations startup and consulting.
4. Design approach that minimizes risk of going over budget with a proven techniques that guarantees
manufacturer costs by the conclusion of the 30%design stage and includes cost input by licensed operators and
contractors.
5. Senior-level staff involved in 100%of meetings and work performed.
We are available to go over our statement of qualifications with you at any time to discuss in more detailed
aspects of our team's related experience and intended approach. We have responded to the RFQ released

estimates are based on a combination of construction index pricing and also based real completed projects to ensure
accurate estimate for project budgets. PACE will subconsult surveying using ground-penetrating technologies and
potholing.
Wastewater: Replacement or repair of sanitary sewer infrastructure is often more challenging than water or storm
drains where service can be more easily interrupted and construction can be completed during dry periods. In some
cases slip-lining can be conducted otherwise vault and haul or temporary pumping needs to be carefully planned to
allow for upgrading wastewater infrastructure. With forcemain piping installation it is important to minimize unintended
low or high points, and instead design piping for consistent slope with intentional high points containing air-vacuum
valves and intentional low points with blowoff valves. In areas with saline shallow groundwater it is important to install
corrosion resistant piping and fittings including C900-905 or HDPE plastic and bagged flange kits. The soil bedding
needs to be carefully managed to prevent unwanted settlement which could cause air pockets or sludge accumulation.
Cost estimates are based on a combination of construction index pricing and also based real completed projects to
ensure accurate estimate for project budgets. When necessary, PACE will subconsult to conduct surveying using
ground-penetrating technologies and potholing to mark visible or identified utilities from USA Underground.
Storm Drain & Sewer Systems: PACE has prepared a specialized work program for storm drain and sewer facility
design based on our vast experience on a wide variety of urban drainage, flood control system and sewer collection
system engineering designs. The work plan incorporates many unique features and analytical tools specially developed
for drainage and sewer facility design. This plan ensures the optimum drainage and sewer facility will be adopted with
precise and accurate improvement plans.
Local and Regional Watershed Hydrology Studies: Integrated hydrology analyses with GIS modeling capabilities
through unique analytical tools provide the ability to accurately analyze large watersheds and evaluate multiple
conditions. Experience and background with many different aspects of the County Hydrology Manual and interpretation
of the correct analytical requirements based on unique applications. Provide also the capabilities for stream gage and
field assessments for evaluating historical hydrologic data.
Urban Drainage Hydrology: Special watershed mapping techniques for characterization of urban watershed patterns
as well as hydrologic parameters, while evaluating and incorporating over/flow surcharge of systems in order to
accurately quantify runoff quantities. Customized modeling applications to analyze watershed contributions in fully
urbanized watersheds, and track surface and stormdrain flow quantities. Application of integrated unsteady hydrology/
hydraulic models to evaluate complex urban watershed systems, particularly those with hydraulic deficiencies.

The City has a water system that is undergoing upgrades to modernize infrastructure, enhance efficiency, improve
reliability and security, and create additional lower-cost water supply from groundwater that may require some minor
treatment to become ideal aesthetically. In recent years PACE has had the opportunity to work closely with the City to
provide some important water system upgrades including project assessment services, planning for improvement
projects, and implementing the projects from concept development, through design and engineering, and following with
construction management, startup, and operations support and consulting. PACE frequently uses performance based
specifications to competitively bid and ultimately pre-select major equipment for the remaining design and contractor
lowest rice. Sophisticated designs are
assignment, to ensure the City obtains the best equipment possible for thep p g
conducted in 3D to be able to better visualize maintenance access. Cost estimates are based on a combination of
construction index pricing and also based real completed projects to ensure accurate estimate for project budgets.
PACE conducts surveys to mark visible or identified utilities from USA Underground, and when necessary will
subcontract surveying using ground-penetrating technologies and potholing.
Potable Water(Production), Wells, Reservoirs, and Pressure Regulating Facilities
Similar to the recent upgrade design at Well 1, comparable improvements may be needed at other well sites, reservoirs,
and PRV stations. Other wells within the City including wells 3, 6, and 8 are seeking to increase capacity by using other
portions of the well screen that are currently blinded due to poor water quality. Using the knowledge gained from the
unique treatment process at Well 9 for treating hydrogen sulfide and other reduced compounds including ammonia,
potentially Wells 3, 6, and 8 can increase their production in previously unused portions of the well column.
The continued development of reliable, clean, non-corrosive, and aesthetic groundwater supply is vital to the City's
supply portfolio. PACE will subcontract to well drilling/cleaning contractors or hydrogeologists in the quantity versus
quality evaluation at each well. The well sites need to have proper security with new security protocols, and also have
visual monitoring of flow and pressure, and good maintenance access including well lay-down area. Alternative sources
of power and dual power fed sites may also be considered, as well as alternative chlorine forms and storage. Tank
turnover including mechanical mixing or re-injection may be helpful if chlorine residuals tend to dissipate, and tank
inlets/outlets may be adjusted to improve turnover and decrease the precipitation of minerals in the tank bottom.
It is important for pressure regulating facilities to provide parallel valves of different size when space is available to allow
for good pressure control at various flows and redundancy during valve repair or replacement. Newer CLA-VAL models
offer insertion type flowmeters that are an inexpensive means of monitoring flow to better understand the distribution
system profiling.

Potable Water Pipeline Engineering
Increase in sizing, replacement, change in pipe material, or installation of new piping requires careful consideration of
site conditions including poor soil and high groundwater and existing utilities in the City including dense and sometime
undocumented pipelines from the oil industry. When necessary, it may be possible to hot-tap existing lines to expedite
installation, or run new lines in parallel. Where smaller diameter piping is needed, in some cases directional drilling may
be possible to avoid excavation and traffic control in high density areas. In some cases there may be an opportunity to
re-purpose existing abandoned piping into potable or other types of piping. It is important to minimize unintended low or
high points, and instead design piping for consistent slope with intentional high points containing air-vacuum valves and
intentional low points with blowoff valves. In areas with saline shallow groundwater it is important to install corrosion
resistant piping and fittings including C900-905 or HDPE plastic and bagged flange kits. The soil bedding needs to be
carefully managed to prevent unwanted settlement which could cause air pockets or sludge accumulation.

Upper Oso Reservoir Emergency Water Quality Improvements and Super Oxygenation System — South Orange
County, CA
Mr. Komor served as project manager for the Upper Oso Reservoir Emergency Water Quality Improvements to reduce the

of oxygen depletion in the lower lake level, which created the sulfide emissions. With a unique specialization of lake
systems in conjunction with an advanced understanding of nutrient loading, limnology, biological and mechanical processes,
and specialization in wastewater treatment and recycled water storage and distribution, Mr. Komor diagnosed the
magnitude of the odor and implemented a solution in less than two weeks. To prevent future outbreaks of hydrogen sulfide
gas releases, Mr. Komor continued to monitor, test and model the reservoir to determine the future water quality
management plan. It was determined that due to the reservoir's characteristics of being one of the largest recycled water
reservoirs in the USA without nitrification, a large oxygen demand was present which required direct oxygen injection. An
eight foot diameter speece cone oxygen injection system with a 2,100 lb/day oxygen generator and two 2,600 gal/min
recirculation pumps were provided in the design.

Dr. Ikehata provided water quality analysis during the design of this reverse osmosis treatment system to provide a custom
water source for irrigating the golf course greens at the Santa Ana Country Club. PACE provided the treatment process
development, performance-based specifications (a highly effective process for reducing costs and guaranteeing
performance of equipment), engineering design of civil, mechanical, electrical and control systems and treated water
storage systems and cost estimating. In 2013, PACE installed Phase II of the system including a GAC pre-filtration system,
part of the original design, which reduces organic fouling of the desalination system.
