PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR DESIGN OF UPG .RADE OF SEVEN
EXISTING WELLHEAD FACILITIES (PROJECT NOS. 600077 & 600092)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council award a contract in the amount of $189,400 and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk, subject to final City Attorney approval, to execute the attached agreement with MacDonald-
Stephens-Engineers, Inc. for .engineering services for the evaluation and design of the wellhead
improvements at the seven existing well sites. The services to be provided include the evaluation of the
condition of each well and the design of electrical upgrades and appropriate disinfection facilities based on
the existing well condition and overall distribution system needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total contract involves funding $189,400 from Water Capital Improvement Program. This action
authorizes funding $148,220 for Phase I through III of the contract. The Fiscal Year 1996-97 Water CIP
Budget allocates $154,000 toward this project. The 1997-98 Water CIP Budget will request additional
funds for completion of this project, and Phase IV of the contract will be authorized if the requested
funding is approved. The contract does not obligate the City to authorize construction of the proposed
facilities.
BACKGROUND
As a part of the evaluation of the water system, the need to upgrade the electrical equipment at each of the
City's existing wells was identified as a required safety improvement. Some of the existing facilities were
constructed as long as forty years ago and do not meet current safety standards. In addition, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency is preparing regulations which will require the disinfection of
groundwater supplies to meet the new bacteriological levels. Due to the current physical condition of each
well along with site constraints, it may not be cost effective to invest substantial funds at some of the sites.
An evaluation of each well site is necessary to determine which of the facilities should be upgraded. Once
the site evaluation has been completed, the consultants will be directed to proceed with design of the
appropriate equipment and improvements at each site.

CITY OF TUSTIN
INTRODUCTION
UPGRADE OF WATER WELLS
(CITY PROJECT NO. 600087)
1
Background, The City of Tustin provides drinking water to approximately 13,500 customers. The
annual water use is about 13,000 AFY and approximately 75 percent of this demand is usually'
provided from local wells. The City owns several operating wells within or near the City limits.
Seven wells have been identified for this project and general information for these wells are
summarized in Table No. 1. A majority of these wells were installed in the 1950's and 1960's. The
City acquired these wells from prior water companies and irrigation districts. Due to their age, there
is a need to upgrade these facilities. As a part of its Water Capital Improvement Program, the City
of Tustin, Water Service Division, will be upgrading the electrical facilities and installing.
chlorination capabilities (as needed) at these wells.
Understanding of the Project. The City of Tustin desires to engage the services of an engineering
firm for the preparation of studies, plans and specifications for the evaluation and upgrade of
electrical components at various City owned Well sites. In addition, chlorination facilities may be
required at the well sites.
Many of these well sites were built 30 years ago and there are no records of the existing facilities.
The consultant will be required to prepare record drawings of the well sites prior to design and
'construction of the improvements. Due to age, the electrical equipment will be upgraded to meet
code requirements and to improve reliability, efficiency and safety, which is a primary concern. The
existing facilities will be evaluated for current/voltage protection, ground fault protection and general
compliance with current' electrical codes.
Our scope of work also includes a preliminary assessment of the downhole condition of each of
seven of the City's water-supply wells. The overall purposes of this assessment are to document the
condition of these wells and to prioritize each of the wells for the necessary rehabilitation or
replacement.
The City is responsible for providing a safe and healthy drinking water to its customers. In keeping
with this goal, the project will include an evaluation of chlorination requirements at each well. The
evaluation will consider, the proposed Groundwater Disinfection Rule, maintenance of chlorine
residual in the distribution and the water quality significance of blending with imported water. The
study will also consider various methods of chlorination such as gas, liquid (solution), and on-site
generation.

This proposal presents our approach to the City's project, our project team and our experience on
similar projects. We hope that the City's review of this proposal will demonstrate our qualifications
and experience to provide the City with local and responsive engineering services. Having MSE's
in-house civil, mechanical and electrical staff available from our Mission Viejo office should prove
beneficial not only during design, but during the important construction and startup phases of this
project.
PROJECT APPROACH
The following sections of this proposal outlines our aPproach to the City's project. The discussion
is focused on the electrical design and the need to maintain a chlorine residual in the distribution
system. This project approach section also contains an outline of the Scope of Work and a schedule
for completion of the initial studies and final design.
Site Surveys
MSE will prepare Site Plans of each site. Three levels of survey will be provided for the different
wells. For the Tustin/Columbus site, we will review and update the construction drawings. At the
Tustin Avenue and Beneta well sites, the survey will include:
1. Survey research at City of Tustin and County of Orange.
.
Transfer survey control to the site based on street centefline monuments and City or
County benchmark.
o
Topographic survey of the sites, to the well property line, with ground elevations and
culture location.
.
Plot property line, ROW and know easements, City will provide deeds and
easements.
For the Yorba, Walnut, Pankey and Prospect well sites, the field survey will include a topographic
survey of each site with elevations and culture, based on an assumed elevation and assumed bearing
on one side of the site. No property line or easement data would be researched. Property line will
be plotted where the data is readily available.
Electrical Systems
The electrical systems and electrical equipment for each well will be reviewed using the following
criteria:
· Reliability
Tustin\pro.uww 3
l
]
1
Efficiency
System Safety
Conformance to electrical codes
The equipment age will be reviewed with respect to its condition to determine if it is acceptable for
continued use without replacement. The system reliability will be evaluated to determine if it meets
the client's needs and industry standard for down time and maintenance. The efficiency at which
the pump station is operating will be examined to determine if the maximum amount of water is
produced for the number of kilowatt-hours consumed from the electrical utility and cost of
maintenance. The system safety, equipment and layout will be reviewed for possible hazards and
injury to operations and maintenance personnel and the general public (several of the well sites are
adjacent to homes). Improper equipment installation, deterioration, missing items and inadequate
precautions for personnel protection will be investigated. Sites will be reviewed for layout adequacy
for maintenance and ease of operations. Conformance to electrical codes will be used to review each
well site to see if the codes existing when the wells were installed still provide a safe' environment
for well operation and maintenance compared to the most recent code revisions.
The following electrical equipment and systems will be evaluated for their conditions, adequacy and
continued use in service:
Pump Motors
Motor Starters
Pump Controls & Relays
Service Lighting
Telemetry System & Cable
Utility Service
Power Distribution Panels
Disconnect Switches
Transformers
Junction Boxes
Wire and Cabling
Conduit
Connection Corrosion
Need for Concrete Pads
Instrumentation
Equipment Protection
Equipment Clearances
Grounding
Telephone Service Feeds
Existing City documents will be researched and reviewed along with utility information and records.
Additional well site visits and interviews with City's O & M staff will be used to develop specific
site electrical system needs and electrical improvement plans.

Chlorination
The chlorination alternatives to be evaluated include: 150 pound chlorine cylinders (gaseous
chlorine), sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine), calcium hypochlorite (solid tablets) on-site chlorine
generation, and "do nothing". The following will discuss the disinfection objectives, the gaseous
and liquid chlorine alternatives, safety issues; and the water quality considerations.
Establishing Disinfection Objectives
The most important task is to determine the project's disinfection objectives. This will require
review of existing and future regulations, including the Surface Water Treatment Rule, Groundwater
Disinfection Rule, Disinfectants/Disinfection By-Products Rule and Total Coliform Rule. Other
pertinent requirements include: Uniform Fire Code - Article 80, California Health and Safety Code's
Risk Management and Prevention Program, conditions established by local DOHS and County.
health departments, and local fire and electrical regulations.
The City of Tustin's existing and future water system operations are also important parameters. An
evaluation of whether the existing system satisfies the chlorine residual and HPC requirements in
the distribution system should be part of the "do nothing" option. Knowledge of the City's system
will also reveal potential dead-end or long storage issues that will impact disinfectant residual and
TTHM levels. It will also allow the City to make a determination as to whether the minimum 0.2
mg/1 disinfectant residual in the distribution system is sufficient for its needs. Finally, this
information can be used to evaluate if fewer centralized disinfection facilities, strategically located
within the distribution system, would be more beneficial rather than individual disinfection sites at
each well.
An important consideration is the use of chloramination prior to distribution by MWDSC. At the
point of discharge from the Robert B. Diemer Filtration Plant, MWDSC's objective is 1.5 mg/1
' chloramine residual, with a chlorine to ammonia ratio of 5. As this treated' water travels through
transmission mains to the City of Tustin's turnouts, some of the chloramine residual is consumed.
Also the water quality of each well site should be analyzed to determine its impact relative to the
various types of disinfectant that are proposed..The City has high nitrate levels in certain wells and
this should be considered.
Another factor is the water quality compatibility of the imported MWDSC water with local .City
wells and any City disinfection facilities. Seasonal quantities and qualities of these waters vary,
including MWDSC's blend of State Project water and Colorado River Water. Should the project
blend chlorinated and chloraminated waters, there may be monochloramines convened to
dichloramine and trichloramine, with resulting taste and odor problems and the potential for elevated
HPCs within the system. Elevated HPCs is an indicator of a breakdown in the disinfection process.
Both high HPCs and low disinfectant levels in the distribution system can result in noncompliance.
Tustin\pro.uww 5
J.
l
An advantage for maintaining a chloramine residual rather than a free chlorine residual in
distribution systems is that chloramines evoke fewer customer complaints of chlorine odors than
chlorine. While the statement is true under most conditions when the predominant chloramine
species is monochloramine, the addition of chlorine to chloraminated water promotes the conversion
of monochloramine to an odorous species known as "dichloramine". When this occurs, the number
of customer complaints, usually of "strong chlorinous" or "swimming pool" odors, increases
markedly. In order to maintain the proper disinfection levels and at the same time avoid the taste
and odor compounds, the application of the disinfection chemicals and the mixing of the well water
and imported water are critical design issues. The water quality parameters which are integral to this
project are the concentration of free and combined chlorine, pH, temperature, alkalinity, and nitrate
levels of the groundwater. It is important that the blend of the two water sources does not result in
the dissOciation of the chloramine compound to taste and odor compounds or non-disinfectant
compound.
In order to ascertain the impacts of no-chlorination, chlorination and the type of chlorination (free
or combined residual), we propose to use the City's network program (Kypipe) combined with the
EPANET program to evaluate chlorine reSiduals in the distribution system under various scenarios
of summer flow, winter flow, water temperature, pH and imported water blend ratio and blending
locations.
We propose to obtain water samples from various well sources and conduct chlorine residual decay
studies in the laboratory. The decay constant or first order bulk reaction rate constant would be used
in the EPANET's water quality model to estimate the loss of chlorine residual as the water travels
through the distribution system. The results of the network analysis will use to identify the need for
chlorination and the locations for optimum chlorine application. The City has established a
hydraulic network program using the Kypipe software. This program was setup by AKM Engineers
of Irvine. MSE plans to use their services to assist in the water quality modelling.
Safety
The safety of the public, particularly since the majority of these well facilities are located in
residential areas, is of paramount concern. Article 80 of the California Fire Code specifies
requirements for hazardous materials, including secondary containment. Additionally, Article 2 to
Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code (the Risk Management and Prevention
Program) mandates the assessment and prevention, to the greatest extent possible, the risk of a
release of Acutely Hazardous Materials (AHMs), in a manner which might cause harm to the safety
and health of the community and the environment.
Additionally, the safety of the operations and maintenance staffs shall be an integral pan of the final
design layouts. Adequate laydown areas and aCCess, built-in maintenance features for the equipment,
chemical sumps, hose bibb and eyewash/emergency shower locations, proper equipment and pipeline
materials, secondary containment and local and central alarms shall be considered.
Tustin\pro.uww 6
.l
As a minimum, safety equipment for a gaseous chlorine facility would include: gas leak detection
monitoring, chlorine cylinder repair kit, self-contained breathing apparatus, emergency chlorine
scrubber, secondary containment, eyewash/shower, and emergency alarm system. Safety equipment
for a liquid chlorine system would include: secondary containment, eyewash/shower, and
emergency alarm system.
The chlorine scrubber will require a permit from the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
The permit application package consists of application form, information requirements as required
by Form 400 C, site plan, building and scrubber mechanical layout and scrubber specifications, and
a review fee. The application should be submitted to SCAQMD prior to completion of final design,
and the review process is generally 60 days. In addition, plans for the scrubber, depending on the
location, have to be reviewed by the Orange County Fire Authority and/or the City Building
Department, and a construction permit is required in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code.
Gaseous Chlorine
Chlorine is an approved DOHS disinfectant, and has proven to be an efficient and cost-effective
disinfectant, with widespread use. It has an easily detectable residual in the distribution system, but
can produce byproducts when used with waters containing organics.
A typical gaseous chlorine installation for the City would be two 150 pound pressurized chlorine
cylinders (one duty and one standby), with weight scales and automatic switchover, wall-mounted
vacuum type chlorinators, chlorine injectors, pressurized make-up water, chlorine solution diffuser,
and the necessary instrumentation, controls and alarms. The chlorine feed would be gas under
vacuum, and the make-up water would be from the distribution system. The chlorine Withdrawal
rates will be analyzed to determine if an evaporator is required. It is anticipated that the chlorine
feed rate would be manually set by an operator, but during preliminary design, manual control, flow-
paced control, compound loop control, and chlorine residual monitoring will be analyzed.
These facilities can be housed in a pre-fabricated "shed" or building, with appropriate ventilation and
lighting. With the dose proximity of residents, it is likely that emergency chlorine scrubbing will
be required. The design shall conform to the Uniform Fire Code - Article 80 and the RMPP, The
various types of chlorine scrubbing equipment will be evaluated, including those manufactured by
RJ Environmental, Duall Corporation, Powell Fabrication, and EST Corporation. These shall
include: counter flow vertical packed tower, Venturi ejector, multi-stage unit (one stage of counter
current fine spray and two stages of cross-flow packed tower), and containment. The other
consideration is emergency power generation for the chlorine scrubber and alarm system.
Liquid Chlorine
Sodium hypochlorite solution is sometimes referred to as "liquid chlorine". (The strictest definition
is elemental chlorine in liquid phase, which can be obtained by withdrawing from the "bottom" plugs
of a one-ton chlorine cylinder. This definition is not used here.) As discussed herein, this is chlorine
Tustin\pro.uww 7
in the form of hypochloric acid (HOC1), which is a strong oxidizing agent and a well-'known
disinfectant for pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Hypochlorite is of similar disinfectant
effectiveness, residual and DOHS approval as gaseous chlorine. The solution is commercially
available in 10-15% solutions. It has the same DBP formation potential as gaseous chlorine, and can
have increased chlorate and chlorite levels if the solution is improperly stored.
The sodium hypochlorite solution is generally available for bulk storage, 250 gallon bins, or 55
gallon drums, and the recommended storage amounts and methods would depend on the usage rates.
For large storage amounts, off-gas scrubbing is recommended. Inexpensive chemical metering
pumps, with adjustable stroke length and variable speed, are used to feed the solution. The sodium
hypochlorite solution requires special design considerations, such as anti-siphoning, pipe materials,
make-up water connection points, vapor-locking, secondary containment, and proper chemical
storage times.
Solid Chlorine Tabletq. Calcium hypochlorite can be purchased in solid tablet form. This approach
may reduce chlorine costs and storage space. However, when the tablets are dissolved, there may .
be an insoluble calcium residue. The situation may require softening of the solution feed water and
frequent acid cleaning of the hypochlofite feed system.
On-Site Generation (OSG)
The OSG systems only require salt, water and electricity to produce the sodium hypochlorite
solution. No chlorine liquid or gas is ever produced in the system, thereby eliminating potentially
dangerous storage and handling problems.
With the OSG system, the appropriate amount of hypochlorite solution is produced as required by
the system demands. There is no long term storage. The sodium hypochlorite produced by the
system does not break down in strength, as with conventional 12% to 15% commercial hypochlorite.
The operation of the OSG system can be simple. Salt is dissolved with water to form a concentration
brine solution. This is diluted and passed through the reaction tank containing cells where
electrolysis takes place by the following equation:
NaCI + H20 + 2e = NaOCI + H2
Salt Water Hypochlorite Hydrogen
The final product solution contains approximately 0.8% (8 GPL) sodium hypochlorite and 2%
unreacted salt.
The OSG system provides cost savings over the use of commercial chlorine gas and liquid products,
in small sizes. Economics can vary depending on the size of the system being used, however, the
cost of the overall OSG system can be less than the cost of purchased chlorine gas or hypochlorite
solution.

Scope of Work
The scope of work for this project was developed from information in the City's RFP as well as
discussions with City's staff. The goals of this project are to (1) research the existing facilities and
develop record drawings for each site, (2) identify the electrical upgrades and disinfection
requirements for each site, (3) prepare biddable and constructable plans and specifications for the
upgrades and (4) provide engineering support during construction. To meet these goals, we have
separated the project into four phases:
I.

sites. Information to be obtained shall include size, location, configuration and capacity of
the existing electrical service feed from SCE, the existing telephone service feeds and the
site telemetry cable and control wiring.
De
Conduct network hydraulic analysis and water quality evaluations to assess the need for
chlorination. Consider the SWTR, proposed Groundwater Disinfection Rule, well
construction and water quality blending issue. The maintenance of a minimum chlorine
residual of 0.2 mg/1 throughout the distribution under all conditions of flow is the primary
goal of this task. The network 0EPANET) analysis will be conducted for three conditions:
1. Winter water demand, 100% well water.
2. Winter water demand, 25% well water 75% MWD water.
3. Summer demand, 25% MWD water 75% well water.
The design year flows will be 1997 and the flows will be based on the average daily
flowrate. Laboratory tests will be indicated to establish chlorine decay rates for MWD

water, composites of City well water and a 50/50 blend of well water and MWD water.
Compile data collected in tasks I-A, I-B and I-C. Prepare record drawings for each site
which show property lines, survey control points, and all existing mechanical and electrical
features. These drawings will become a permanent record for the City and will be used as
base maps for the improvement and upgrade drawings.
Fo
Evaluate downhole condition of each well. Primary data to be collected from the City are
the original drillers' logs and all historic videos of the wells. We understand that these are
available for most, if not all, of the seven wells. Additional data to be acquired from the
City includes all historic Southern California Edison pump efficiency tests and all historic
repair records for all seven wells. If necessary, we Will make a limited effort t° get
important repair data from the contractor if City files are deficient.
Review each video tape to assess well condition at the time of the video survey. Analyze
historic Edison data for trends of declining specific capacity, pumping rate, water levels,
and plant efficiency to determine relative condition of well versus pump, etc. Analyze
historic repair records for type and frequency of repairs to pumps and wells to determine if ·
there are recurring problems, such as frequent replacement of pump bowls due to excessive
sand production, etc.
..
Conduct a reconnaissance-level visit to each site to determine the logistics for rehabilitation
or replacement of the wells. Important logistical aspects include: access and working room
for large equipment; noise sensitivity of neighboring properties; presence of overhead
utilities; access to storm drains for disposal of development and/or test water; access to fresh
water needed for rehabilitation and/or drilling; site security; etc.
Issue a separate letter-report for each well that summarizes our findings and conclusions
regarding the condition of the well. Preliminary recommendations will be provided for
either initial phases of a rehabilitation program, or the construction of a new well that is
coupled with the complete destruction of the existing well.
If well replacement is recommended, the preferred location for a new well on the same
property will be provided. Drilling depths, diameters, and other design criteria for'any new
wells are beyond the scope of this preliminary assessment and are not included herein.

current drives with soft-start controls. MSE also provided design services for repair of building,
building exit, and additional ventilation to comply with NFPA 820.
Relocation of Chlorination Facilities for STP-9_
MSE provided field investigation and prepared plans, specifications, and cost estimates for the
.relocation of existing chlorination facilities, repair of water distribution structures, and demolition
of existing culverts with construction of new Arizona crossing for the U.S. Navy at MCB Camp
Pendleton.
Repair Sewer Plant on San Clernente I~land
The Navy Public Works Center asked MSE to provide preliminary and final design plans,
specifications, and cost estimates to upgrade an existing sewer plant on San Clemente Island. The
work included chlorination and dechlorination facilities, new load equalization tank, blower and
aeration system, modifications to the aeration tanks, sludge beds and aerobic digester, upgrades to
three system lift stations, and revisions to the discharge structure, as well as standby generation
upgrades, site drainage, and relocation and renovation of laboratory and office.
Serrano Water Treatment Plant
After determining that the existing treatment plant could not comply with current regulations, MSE
provided complete planning and design services for a 4.0 MGD water treatment plant to meet the
requirements of the Surface Water Treatment and Disinfection Rule, and the future Disinfectant-
Disinfection By-Products Rule. The project included evaluation of the raw water quality bench scale
treatability studies for the removal of organic carbon, and the evaluation of various filtration systems
Tustin\pro.uww
16

including conventional treatment, direct filtration, and membrane 'filtration. The selected design
consisted of raw water metering, chemical conditioning, flocculation, clarification, GAC and gravity
filtration, backwash water treatment, disinfection, finished water metering, and discharge pumping.
Support facilities included computer controls and monitoring, operations building, chemical storage
and pump room, standby power generation, air blower system, chemical analyses (raw water, process
water, and finished water), MCC/electrical room, restroom, utility room, and sewer connections.
MSE also provided bidding assistance, construction support, and on-site construction inspection for
this project. Sodium hypochlorite disinfection, with bulk storage, is being used.
Verdugo Park Water Treatment Plant
MSE prepared a preliminary design report which evaluated the quality of the water collected by the
Verdugo Park Pickup System (horizontal wells),, compared the various treatment methods, and
presented a recommended treatment plant layout along with estimated project costs. In addition to
the requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule, the present and proposed regulations for
trihalomethanes (THM's) and other disinfection by-products were considered in this analysis. Due .
to the low concentrations of turbidity, coliforms, color, TOC, and THM formation potential, the
main emphasis of the water treatment system was cysts and virus removal/inactivation. Several
treatment options were considered including conventional treatment, direct filtration, in-line
filtration, ultrafiltration, and precoat (diatomaceous earth) filtration. The latter proved to be the most
cost effective method. MSE prepared final design plans, specifications, and construction cost
estimates for the 1.4 MGD Verdugo Park Water Treatment Plant. The design included a treatment
plant building with a separate chlorine room, chemical room, control room, filter room, a covered
chlorine contact tank, a backwash holding tank, and a sludge pumping station. An Engineer's Report
and Operations Plan were prepared and submitted to the DOHS. MSE also provided construction
contract administration services, an operations and maintenance manual, and extensive start-up and
operator training services for this innovative technology. The disinfection facilities included gaseous
chlorine and ammonia feed systems, chlorine scrubber, and instrumentation.
