Proposal - Engineering Services for the Cook`s Reservoir Replacement Project
Ci of Son Juan Ca istrano
p'
Project Understanding
Cook's reservoir is a water storage facility which was constructed in the late 1960's. It
is an underground, trapezoidal, gunite lined reservoir with a corrugated metal roof.
Cook's reservoir has a meager capacity of 0.3 million gallons, a source of supply for
the City's elevation 250 pressure zone. The reservoir began leaking several years ago,
and an investigation revealed a large crack in the interior wall lining, ostensibly due to
differential settlement of the surrounding soils. The investigation also indicated that
the paint coating on the interior steel structural members is peeling, and the bare steel
surfaces are rusted. The reservoir was subsequently drained and taken out of service. The goal of this project is to
provide professional engineering services to evaluate demolition of the existing facility, and construction of a new
facility which will maximize storage at this location.
Key Project Issues
Based on the information contained in the Request for Proposal, the pre -proposal meeting, a limited tour of the
reservoir site, and our experience in reservoir siting and design, we have identified the following key issues important
for the successful completion of this project:
• Site Soils/Geotechnical Investigation
• Environmental Sensitivity
• Demolition/Construction Impact, including Noise, Air Quality, etc.
• Architectural/ Aesthetics - Site Line Considerations
• Potential Hazardous Materials Collection and Testing
• Drainage Concerns - Evaluate Tank Overflow Event
• Site Security
• Structural - Consideration of Alternate Tank Materials and Shapes
• Electrical - The New Facility Must Communicate with City's Scada System
Site Soils/ Geotechnical Investigation
A preliminary soils investigation was conducted and a report written by Lawson & Associates Geotechnical
Consulting. This report concluded that replacement of the existing reservoir with a larger one is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint. The report also recommends that a supplemental, more detailed field investigation and
laboratory testing program be performed prior to final design. In accordance with these recommendations, the
following effort will provide the information required to evaluate the impact of soil conditions on reservoir
replacement alternatives:
• Mark proposed boring locations and notify Underground Service Alert (USA). In addition, the City or its
representatives should review the proposed boring locations prior to drilling to ensure that they do not
conflict with any known utility lines. Note: if private underground lines are known to transect the site, we
recommend that a private utility locator be contacted to mark underground lines prior to drilling. The cost of
marking the private utility lines has not been included in our services. We assume no responsibility for
damage to unmarked utility lines.
• Field investigation consisting of two (2) borings. The borings will be drilled to a depth of approximately forty
(40) feet below the proposed water tank pad (or refusal, whichever is shallower). Borings will be backfilled
with native soils. Some settlement may occur over time. Please note that prior to our field investigation, we
will require the approximate finish grade elevation of the proposed water tank.

� � �n,•�� Proposal -Engineering Services for the Cook's Reservoir Replacement Project
City of Son Juan Capistrano
• An experienced representative from our office will be onsite to direct the investigation, collect samples, log
borings, and estimate depth to groundwater (if any).
• Obtain bulk samples for classification and laboratory testing.
• Perform Standard Penetration Test (SPT) at selected drilling intervals and record the blow count required to
advance the sampler.
• Assign and perform laboratory tests for characterization of the engineering properties of selected soil
samples. Laboratory tests will likely include moisture density, expansion potential, sieve and hydrometer,
Atterberg Limits, direct shear, consolidation, and soil corrosion potential (pH, resistivity, soluble sulfate, and
chloride content).
• Preparation of geotechnical map and cross sections.
• Geotechnical interpretation and analysis of field and laboratory results.
A summary report shall be prepared which will clearly state conclusions and recommendations for the proposed
replacement of Cook's Reservoir. Items addressed in the report will include temporary slope stability, earthwork
recommendations, settlement, lateral earth pressures, detailed seismic parameters, allowable bearing capacity, and
pavement design.
Environmental Sensitivity
Through the preparation of an Initial Study, RBF will evaluate the environmental concerns and identify necessary
measures to mitigate impacts of the project. RBF will utilize the City's standard CEQA forms, making any legislative
updates, as necessary under CEQA. This scope of work has been completed for a Mitigated Negative Declaration,
assuming that all impacts of the proposed project can be mitigated to less than significant levels. Should City
determine that impacts cannot all be mitigated and would require preparation of an EIR, a separate scope of work
and budget can be prepared for alternative environmental documentation. RBF will prepare the environmental
analysis based primarily upon the existing technical studies, design plans and other relevant documentation available,
including engineering studies prepared under separate tasks. Noise, air quality, and hazardous materials assessments,
including preliminary biological and cultural resource surveys, will be prepared as part of the checklist responses. The
air quality assessment will quantify construction -related emissions in accordance with SCAQMD methodology.
Operational emissions will be qualitatively analyzed. Preparation of the checklist will include Early Consultation,
pursuant to CEQA, with responsible agencies and interested parties. An expanded discussion of noise, air quality,
and aesthetics is included in the key issues which follow.
Biological Constraints Survey - RBF has retained LSA Associates, Inc. to prepare a Biological Constraints Survey,
which includes vegetation mapping and impact analysis. The report will consist of a site reconnaissance and California
Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) records search to verify the potential for special status species to be present
within the project area. The results of the survey will indicate the need, if any, for further evaluation or focused
surveys.
Cultural Resources — LSA Associates, Inc. will prepare a preliminary Cultural Resources Assessment. Because
archaeological resources are often concealed or not always evident, LSA will obtain an archaeological and historical
resources records search for the project area. The records search will provide information on known cultural resources
and on previous cultural resources investigations within a one -mile radius of the proposed Project alignment. Data
sources that will be consulted include archaeological site and artifact records, historic maps, reports from previous
studies, and the state's Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) for Orange County, which contains listings for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR), California Historical
Landmarks (CHL), and California Points of Historical Interest (CPHI) properties.

Preliminary Hazardous Materials Assessment - RBF will review federal, state and local agency records regarding
known hazardous material sites/handlers. All identified sites, typically within a one -mile radius, will be listed within
the Preliminary Hazardous Material Assessment. RBF will observe, inspect and report on the site. RBF will identify
any obviously stressed vegetation, evidence of waste discharge or collection, fill materials, sink holes, wells, etc.
Recommendations will identify, if necessary, the need to perform surface or subsurface exploration, sampling and
laboratory testing in order to quantify the actual absence or presence of hazardous materials. This task specifically
excludes soil/groundwater testing and/or laboratory analysis.
Draft and Final Negative Declaration - This Scope of Work assumes one (1) screencheck review of the Initial Study
by the City. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, will utilize the Initial Study to make a determination as to the
anticipated environmental impacts of the project. Informal responses to public comments will be prepared following
completion of the public review period for use by the City (it is assumed that the IS/MND will not require revision or
recirculation). RBF will formulate and prepare a mailing list (responsible public agencies, affected property owners
and property occupants) and mail up to twenty-five (25) copies of the IS/MND.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program - The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be defined
through working with the City to identify appropriate monitoring steps/procedures in order to provide a basis for
monitoring such measures during and upon project implementation, in compliance with CEQA and District
procedures.
Meetings - RBF will attend one (1) pre -design meeting, and up to one (1) public meeting. RBF can attend additional
staff meetings or public hearings on a time and materials basis.
Demolition/Construction Impact
The initial study/Mitigated Negative Declaration will examine the impact of demolition and construction activity on
nearby residents in relation to noise and air quality as follows:
Noise - The IS/MND will evaluate the project's potential noise impacts upon adjacent land uses. Discussion will
include a qualitative construction -related and operational noise associated with the proposed facilities. As this is not
anticipated to be a major issue, a separate technical report is not proposed.
Air Quality - The IS/MND will evaluate construction -related and operational emissions associated with the project, in
accordance with SCAQMD's CEQA Air Quality Handbook (a separate technical report is not proposed).
Disposal of Hazardous Materials - Should collected samples of potentially hazardous materials be tested and found to
be hazardous, then they must be disposed of in accordance with all federal, state, and local requirements. Collection
of samples and laboratory testing of potentially hazardous materials is expanded upon in a key issue which follows.
Architectural/Aesthetics
One of the primary objectives of this reservoir replacement project is to maximize storage volume on site. As the
reservoir serves the City's elevation 250 zone, and the existing reservoir tops out at approximate elevation 241, there is
an opportunity to provide added storage by building a tank which extends above grade by nine (9) feet. Since the
reservoir is located in an affluent residential neighborhood with beautiful mountain vistas, the Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration will evaluate the project's potential aesthetic impacts. The study will consider temporary
construction -related disturbances, however, the main focus will be on the impacts associated with the increase to the

reservoir height. The assessment will include up to three (3) computer generated visual simulations, discussion of the
existing landscape units, visual character, visual quality, visually sensitive resources, and viewers of the site.
Potential Hazardous Materials Collection and Testing
Materials, by their composition, that come within the category of a hazardous waste by virtue of ruling by Federal,
State or County Regional Environmental Control Agencies within the framework of Federal and State Laws must be
stored, transported and disposed of in compliance with the necessary laws governing hazardous wastes. Therefore,
samples of the interior coating materials and exterior paints will be taken to determine if lead, chromium or zinc is
present in the coatings. Coating samples will be taken from the interior roof, rafters, beam, and tie rods, and from the
exterior surfaces of the tank. Samples of joint caulking will also be collected and tested for Polychloride Biphenyls
(PCB). The samples will then be analyzed by a testing laboratory certified in accordance with the American Industrial
Hygiene Association (AIHA), and the Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP).
In addition, it has been brought to our attention that the gunite lining of the reservoir may contain asbestos fibers. If
an assessment reveals the presence of asbestos, AQMD will be notified and the debris will be entered into a database
for tracking purposes. If these fibers are completely encased in grout and are not friable, then the material can be
disposed of with regular construction debris. However, if there is evidence of friability, then the material is considered
hazardous and must be handled, stored, transported and disposed of in accordance with all Federal, State and local
regulations.
Drainage Concerns - Evaluate tank overflow event
At present, the tank overflow drains to a natural swale. Bella Donna Estates, a new development of thirty (30) homes
is being proposed on the downhill side of the reservoir site. The City is currently discussing drainage improvement
alternatives with the developer. RBF will determine the maximum expected discharge of water in the event of an
accidental tank overflow event, or a deliberate draining of the tank for re -lining or maintenance. A drainage system
will be recommended to ensure that outgoing water is properly filtered and conveyed away from the proposed housing
development.
Site Security
Currently, the reservoir site is protected by a chain link fence of nominal height. There are several locations where
the fence does not close tightly to existing structures. In addition, tank access hatches and overflow system are not
monitored. RBF will identify these and other deficiencies and make recommendations to promote increased site
security. Subsequent to the terrorist attacks on 9/11, it is anticipated that future legislation will mandate site security
measures which all water storage facilities must follow. Site security of this magnitude is beyond the scope of this
report, and can be addressed in the future when the need arises.
Structural - Consideration of Alternate Tank Materials and Shapes
RBF will evaluate the effectiveness of maximizing storage volume on site by considering storage reservoirs of varying
shape, size and material. Constraints include the presence of existing water and sewer lines, keeping the access road
clear for emergency ingress/egress to the future Bella Donna Estates development, and maintaining lines of sight. In
general the reservoir configuration may include a large circular, or two (2) small circular, or a rectangular with vertical
walls, or a rectangular with hopper bottom. The circular reservoir could be of prestressed concrete or of steel if above
grade. The rectangular reservoir will be of cast -in-place concrete construction. Each alternative reservoir shape and
material has pros, and RBF will work with the City to explore and select a reservoir which will be economical and
environmentally pleasing.

Electrical - The New Facility Must Communicate with City's Scada System
Currently, Cook's reservoir site is not able to communicate with the control center and it is the City's objective to
provide SCADA control as part of this project. RBF will visit the site and coordinate with Southern California Edison
to establish the most efficient means of providing electrical service at this location. Preliminary reservoir controls will
be designed and PLC input/output requirements determined in order to meet the City's communication needs. RBF
will work closely with the City to establish SCADA system strategy for communication between the site and the
control center, as well as other potential locations.
Quality Control
RBF will have ongoing quality control for the project. Our concept

conclusions on design methods, calculations and decisions. They;
designer and peer are encouraged to discuss approaches and
LE
identify points of agreement and disagreement. Areas of
disagreement will be noted and discussed with the Task Order Manager.
Task Order Managers and independent
senior level reviews are designed to go beyond a "2+2" check format to
provide guidance on alternatives to the
design, logic checks of the design assumptions and conclusions, and to review
compatibility with other disciplines'
work, which may affect the task. Both the Task Order Manager and Independent Reviewers are expected to comment
on constructability, compare construction cost to budget and suggest potential
cost savings. Finally, the project
manager checks each submittal to assure design standards and conformance with project concepts as well as
constructability and construction costs.
RBF's Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program provides an on-going review of the project's development. This
includes spot checks as well as structured audits to assure that the process is fully implemented and working within the
entire team. Our quality control manager for this project is Mr. Bill McInerney. Mr. McInerney has 35 years of
experience in water resources engineering.

Task 3. Study of Potential Environmental Impacts
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 1970 required that environmental "A
analysis be undertaken for those discretionary projects that may create potentially
significant impacts. RBF will study potential environmental impacts that could arise from p
the several design concepts required to be developed under this RFP.
3.1 It is understood that approval by the City of San Juan Capistrano of RBF's
environmental staff will be required prior to commencement of work.
3.2 RBF will review and apply the California Environmental Quality Act, and Environmental Impact Report state
guidelines as a benchmark in reviewing whether the several design concepts will have any environmental
consequences as defined under state law.
3.3 RBF will utilize the initial study form used by the City's Planning Department in making an environmental
assessment as to whether any of the design concepts will have adverse environmental effects. The project is
located in an established residential neighborhood and accordingly, such environmental issues including, but not
limited to, visual impacts, geotechnical, construction traffic, biologic hazards, hazardous materials, noise, water
and air quality will be addressed.
3.4 RBF will ensure that the results of the environmental assessment are fully considered in the development of a
preferred preliminary design concept.
Task 4. Preliminary Design Report
The purpose of this evaluation is to determine the most efficient and cost effective design of a new reservoir to replace
the existing 0.3 Million Gallon Cook's Reservoir. The new reservoir should be sited and sized to accommodate the
largest reservoir possible keeping in mind factors of reservoir elevation requirements, setback requirements, view [
requirements from nearby residences, easements and other limitations. The engineering report will evaluate the costs,
other impacts, and potential risks associated with each alternative.
4.1 RBF will prepare a Preliminary Design Report that will address the following subjects:
a. Record Boundary and Constraints Map / Title Report for the Site. Consultant will prepare a constraints map
depicting the record boundaries and encumbrances based upon a current preliminary title report and
research of the public records. Field surveying will include ties to the local County of Orange geodetic
control system to compute NAD83 (Epoch 1991.35) State Plane Coordinates and NAVD88 elevations for the
project control. The subject constraints map will be an accurate depiction of property boundaries and
easements, based solely upon record information and is not to be considered a boundary determination
survey. No land survey monuments will be set. RBF will provide a current preliminary title report for the
property.
b. Field Topography. Field surveying will be conducted to collect existing conditions and prepare topographic
mapping of existing surface features for the project site sufficient to support the preliminary design report,
and final design services. The field topography will be compiled into a digital terrain model, contours and a
plot of any existing improvements. Topographic data will be provided in CADD files and as hardcopy check
plots.

Santa Anita Reservoir No. 4
Arcadia, CA
RBF is providing preliminary and final design engineering for a 4.0 MG reinforced
concrete reservoir. RBF's services include: civil, structural, and electrical
engineering; mapping; and landscape architecture. The City of Arcadia is
expanding their existing primary domestic water storage facility for the City's Zone 1
water system. The existing Santa Anita Reservoir complex is comprised of the Santa
Anita Reservoir No. 3 (3.9 MG) and Santa Anita Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 (both 1.0
MG). Studies previously conducted for the City by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USCOE) necessitated replacement of Santa Anita Reservoirs 1 and 2
with a larger 4.0 MG reinforced concrete reservoir, requiring special seismic design
due to the close proximity of the Sierra Madre fault system to the project site. The
replacement of these reservoirs is the third phase of an overall program of facility
improvements at the site. The preliminary design included a detailed analysis of
alternative replacement configurations and prestressed vs. cast -in-place evaluation.
Construction sequencing was incorporated into the design to maintain storage and
service to the City during construction. Over the years, RBF has provided
comprehensive analysis, design, and construction support services for a number of
projects associated with these improvements, including the initial Special Study
(under contract with the USCOE) that investigated the City's water system and its
ability to withstand a seismic event.

concrete reservoir, requiring special seismic design due to the close
proximity of the Sierra Madre fault system to the project site. The
replacement of these reservoirs is the third phase of an overall
program of facility improvements at the site. The. preliminary
design included a detailed analysis of alternative replacement
configurations and prestressed vs. cast -in-place evaluation.
