PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Based on our review of the Request for Proposal, discussions with City
staff, field visits, record drawing and sewer master plan reviews, and our
extensive previous experience on similar design projects, we have
identified the following project understanding.
Our specific research related to this proposal revealed the following:
➢ Per the record drawings, the existing 18 -inch and 21 -inch sewer
material is probably lined ACP.
i The 18 -inch portion of the existing sewer is hydraulically deficient,
but the 21 -inch portion of the sewer is not hydraulically deficient.
The deteriorating lining for the 21 -inch sewer that was seen in the
master plan video inspection may be the ACP lining, which we have
seen happen before, and for which our team has successfully been able
to remedy on previous projects without reconstructing the pipe.
The development that has occurred adjacent to the existing sewer
alignment is not conducive to pipe bursting and will also be significantly impacted by jacking operations.
However, there appears to be adequate room for jacking pits in the private parking lots adjacent to the
railroad, and in the parking lot and open space on either side of the I-5 Freeway.
i The jacking operations at the railroad and freeway would be very costly and disruptive to adjacent
businesses.
The construction of a smaller facility (less than 21 -inch) that will divert the appropriate amount of sewage
from the existing 18 -inch sewer main, would result in significant cost savings as compared to constructing
a parallel 18 -inch.
The City reconstructed the 12 -inch sewer siphon beneath San Juan Creek easterly of the freeway in 1993.
However, the future development on the east side of the freeway may result in this siphon ultimately being
undersized. These factors led to the identification of Hydraulic Project No. 6 in the master plan report.
We recommend studying the combination of Hydraulic Projects 1 and 6, which would eliminate the
Hydraulic Project No.I deficiencies, provide capacity for future development, and result in savings of a
minimum of $1.0 million in construction costs.
The cost estimate from the Sewer Master Plan for Project No. 1 apparently does not account for the significant
cost of the 2 jacking operations.
i The natural drainage pattern in San Juan Creek Road is southwesterly, meaning that the combining of
Hydraulic Projects 1 and 6 could be easily accomplished without having to construct the proposed
combination sewer project opposite to the prevailing gradient.
Several key issues, which must be carefully considered during the course of the project, are identified below
and on the following pages.

PRACTICALICOST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
Although we fully understand the purpose of developing a
master plan report, it is important to realize that since it is only a
planning -level document, refinement is warranted during the
design stage of the various proposed projects. A review of the
recommendations for Hydraulic Project No. 1 reveals that a total
reconstruction of the (3,000 linear feet of 21 -inch sewer main is
proposed. We recommend that the initial study phase of this
project should focus on salvaging the 21 -inch sewer main that
only has lining issues, maximizing the available capacity of the
18 -inch sewers, accommodating future development to the best
extent possible, and investigating the combination of Hydraulic
solutions should be investigated that minimize impacts and are the
LOCAL SEWER KNOWLEDGE AND SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO EXPERIENCE
Knowledge of San Juan Capistrano criteria, procedures, and personnel are key features of the LAN Project
Team. The LAN Team's Project Manager and Project Engineer have worked on multiple projects for the City
of San Juan Capistrano, including the final design of several sewer design projects. Additionally, our Project
Team members have local experience working on numerous South Orange County Sewer Projects, including
the jacking of two sewer mains across 1-5 for the EI Toro Water District. As a result, our Project Team is familiar
with City standards and the preparation of sewer planning, rehabilitation, jacking, siphons, and reconstruction
projects.
ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT ANALYSIS
Given the extent of existing development along the existing sewer
alignment, it will be essential to evaluate options that are feasible,
functional, cost-effective, and that minimize potential impacts to
existing development. Although it would require an additional
easement, one possible alternative is a southerly shift in the
alignment through the parking lot (west of Camino Capistrano) to
avoid impacting the structures that were constructed after the
sewer was built.
SEWER CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Reviewing the pertinent portions of the City's Sewer Master Plan Report will be a key task in developing a
strategy for the design portion of the project. Since the problems identified in the Master Plan Report include
both capacity and lining deficiencies, it will be important to differentiate between the types of deficiencies and
to develop a strategy that will maximize the use of the existing sewer mains, which should still have significant
useful life remaining. By utilizing the City's sewer model and corresponding design sewage flow rates, we can
refine the Sewer Master Plan recommendations and develop detailed recommendations that should result in
significant cost -savings to the City, as compared to the costs identified in the Sewer Master Plan.

REHABILITATION ANALYSIS
JACKING AND SIPHON EXPERTISE
The proposed jacking operations at the freeway and the railroad
crossing are complicated procedures that will involve
specialized expertise. Key components that will need to be
considered include allowing for accessibility of construction
equipment, minimizing impacts to adjacent businesses,
providing sufficient geotechnical information, and accounting
for all utilities in the area. Additionally, the need for a sewer
siphon design could be required. The LAN Team has provided
these design services for numerous projects including the
jacking of two sewers across I-5 for the El Toro Water District.
The accurate analysis of the video inspection tapes will be an important task in the development of the
Engineering Report and in the overall construction cost of the project. The evaluation of the 1) reconstruct
existing lines option versus 2) the rehabilitation of existing lines by relining methods option, needs to be the
result of a comprehensive review of a wide variety of project considerations. These include the additional
service life resulting from relining; facility of reconnection of service laterals; impact of trenches to
surrounding areas; access for suitable mobilization of specific construction equipment; and initial investment
and life cycle costs. In order to provide recommendations of pipe rehabilitation versus reconstruction, we
recommend that the Engineering Report include a selection matrix for each segment of sewer based on the
factors identified above, plus any other key factors that should be considered. Within the rehabilitation
alternative, point repairs and lateral connections need to be carefully evaluated and accounted for. Our pipe
lining design subconsultant has completed tens of miles of lining projects and is rated among the Top 25
consultants in the country for trenchless technology design.
RAILROAD AND CALTRANS PERMITTING
Knowing the appropriate procedures for obtaining permits from
the railroad and Caltrans may be the most important task in
keeping the project within schedule. This is especially true
because of the jacking operations that are being proposed. The
LAN Team includes a specialist in obtaining the appropriate
permits from both agencies. Our permit engineer has over 30
years of experience, has extensive contacts within the railroad and
Caltrans, and has obtained permits for dozens of projects Involving
one or both permitting agencies.

100 RESEARCH AND REVIEW. On all design projects, LAN Engineering
begins by meeting with the Client to refine the specific project scope and
objectives. The meeting will result in identification of key contacts,
unresolved issues and preliminary design constraints.
A thorough search of the available records will be conducted to acquire relevant data to assist in the design of
the project. The information accumulated will include as -built drawings, utility information, assessors parcel
maps, and horizontal and vertical control data. Included as a part of this task will be the review of the
videotapes, for this portion of the project, from the Sewer Master Plan. Although new video inspections will
be performed, the review of the tapes and the logs will help to understand the nature of the lining issues
discovered and the potential need for point repairs.
110 FIELD REVIEW. The Project Team will review the project in the field, take photographs of key
constraints and project issues for the proposed project, and evaluate and identify existing improvements. All
photographs are filed in photo albums, with a written description for each picture. The albums serve as a
constant reference during design and are invaluable when discussing issues at meetings.
120 UTILITY COORDINATION. Information will be collected from all of the utility companies. We have
included the dipping of all existing gravity sewer and storm drain manholes as a part of our utility coordination
effort. A master utility list will be maintained and updated throughout the life of the project. Coordination
with the utilities will continue throughout the design of the project.
130 BASE MAPPING. Aerial mapping is proposed for the entire project reach if only Project No. 1 is
constructed. However, if Project No. 6 is constructed, the aerial mapping will be used only for the new
construction, and the sewer rehabilitation base map will be prepared utilizing the City's existing digital aerial
photography. Supplemental ground survey is proposed as a part of Phase 2 to provide an existing ground
profile above the sewers and to more accurately locate key constraints such as building corners, stairways, etc.
140 VIDEO AND PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS. The LAN Team proposes to provide CCTV / manhole inspection
crews, management, technical staff, and equipment to accomplish the work described below:
Review project area sewer drawings
Y Provide CCTV inspection equipment
i Provide manhole inspection equipment
i Provide a written description of CCTV/manhole inspection observations

150 RIGHT-OF-WAY RESEARCH. The LAN Team will research City and County records to determine the
public right-of-way boundaries for all of the projects. Based on the current information available and the fact
that the sewers already exist for Project No. 1, we are anticipating that easements already exist for all sewer
mains not within public right-of-way. Project No. 6 will probably require a County right-of-way agreement.
160 ENGINEERING REPORT. As a part of this task, the LAN team will review the City's current master plan.
Our review will include an overview of the City's model, including tributary areas and design flows. We will
also review the Master Plan Report conclusions and recommendations involving Hydraulic Project No. 1 and
No. 6 to allow us to determine if those recommendations might be advantageously re-evaluated. (Specifically,
we will determine if flow can be diverted from Project No.I to Project No. 6, thereby eliminating the capacity
deficiencies for Project No. 1). When re-evaluation appears beneficial, we will develop cost-effective, feasible
alternatives. Alternatives could include changes to alignments, changes to flow patterns, and alternative
methods of construction. Those alternatives appearing to have merit will be investigated in greater depth, and
recommendations will be developed for consideration by the City. Alternatives to the alignments and
construction methods discussed in the Master Plan will be developed in this task to the extent that budget level
cost estimates can be made for comparison and construction methods can be explained adequately.
Alternative construction techniques for the construction of a parallel sewer for Project No. 1 will be developed
for consideration based on a detailed review of the existing field conditions and the videotapes. Factors that
will be considered in evaluating the alternatives including cost-effectiveness, constructability, impacts to
existing improvements, traffic control/public safety, and right-of-way impacts will also be considered. The
results of the analyses and recommendations will be detailed in the Engineering Report. The report will
include the following:
➢ Pictures and descriptions of existing conditions for each reach of sewer
Comments and summaries of the videotape for each segment
A matrix identifying the parameters being used to evaluate the various construction techniques
Recommendations with justifications for the most viable solution
r A location map showing the limits for each project
Identified below are some of the key issues that will have to be addressed during the design process for each
project segment.
Reach 1 (San Juan Creek Siphon to Camino Capistrano/La Paloma). According
to the Master Plan Report, this reach of 21 -inch pipe is not hydraulically
deficient, but the pipe lining has deteriorated. Physical constraints for this
reach include the I-5 Freeway, and the existing commercial buildings east of
the freeway that the existing sewer traverses between. The jacking of a parallel
sewer across the freeway will be very expensive. Our research indicates that
the lining problem may be from the lined ACP which was originally installed.
We recently completed a project for an Orange County agency that was having
problems with failure of the original lining in a section of lined asbestos cement
pipe. Video inspection showed that the lining was undercut due to corrosion of the pipe wall at several joints.
The pipe was successfully rehabilitated at a cost significantly less than the pipe replacement cost.

"" San Juan Creek Siphon to Trabuco Creek Siphon
>l. Project Understanding/Scope of Work
In light of replacing a line that is not deficient, and which would be very costly to replace or supplement, we
plan to investigate a combination of alternative alignments and flow diversions. There appears to be adequate
room for the jacking pits outside of Caltrans right-of-way, and the pit in the parking lot can be situated to
minimize impacts to the traffic flow within the commercial complex. Should a replacement sewer be
recommended, traffic control should not be a problem for this reach.
Reach 2 (Camino Capistrano/La Paloma to 500 feet south). Since the existing sewer is located in Camino
Capistrano, traffic control will be a significant factor for this reach. Since this reach is hydraulically deficient,
alternatives will include parallel facilities, diversion of flow in conjunction with alternative alignments, and the
potential for combining Project No. 1 and 6.
Reach 3 (Camino Capistrano to west of the railroad). This reach will have similar
constraints to Reach 1, due to the railroad jacking operation and the commercial
building constraints. It appears highly unlikely that a parallel sewer could be
constructed along the same horizontal alignment as the original sewer, since
significant development has occurred since the original sewer was constructed.
Alternatives to be investigated will include parallel facilities, diversion of flow in
conjunction with alternative alignments, and the potential for combining Project
No. 1 and 6. Although an additional easement would be involved, an alternative
alignment possibility is the construction of a parallel sewer from the Camino
Capistrano/La Paloma intersection to just north of San Juan Creek, then southwesterly along the southerly edge
of the property adjacent to the Creek, and then jacked across the railroad.
Reach 4 (West of railroad to Trabuco Creek Siphon). The construction of a parallel
sewer along the easterly edge of these two parcels will involve significant
disruption to parking spaces and existing landscaping. A wider easement would
probably also be required. Alternatives to be investigated will include parallel
facilities, diversion of flow in conjunction with alternative alignments, and the
potential for combining Project No. 1 and 6.
It should be noted that if lining is proposed for any of the reaches, temporary
sewage handling could be a significant issue, due to the volume of sewage being
conveyed.
170 PRELIMINARY PLANS. Forty scale storm drain plans will be developed for each recommended sewer
alignment. The plans will include the topographic base information, existing utilities, and the vertical and
horizontal alignment of the sewer, including siphons or jacked pipes. Sewer laterals will also be indicated
where possible, as well as the disposition of any existing sewer facilities that will be replaced. For reaches to
be lined, we proposed to use existing City digital mapping and the record drawings for the pipe profiles. We
are not proposing to dip the existing sewer manholes that will only be relined.
180 COST ESTIMATES. Preliminary cost estimates will be prepared and submitted for each project, including
new construction and lining alternatives, where applicable. The estimates will include the costs for all of the
various construction items and will also identify any private property relocations required (fences, walls,
landscaping, etc.).

190 CITY MEETINGS/ PROJECT MANAGEMENT I QA/ QC. Meetings will be held with City staff, as necessary to
complete the project. Regularly scheduled meetings are a key component to keeping projects on schedule,
avoiding pitfalls, and keeping the lines of communication open with the City so that surprises do not occur
during the final stages of the project. We have assumed one status meeting per month on the average.
A QA/QC Committee, comprised of senior engineers, will be assigned to this project. These members will
meet at key points of the project to review the progress and results.
The Project Management task is directed at the organization, planning and control of the Project Team.
Activities include scheduling and monitoring of the project team, cost control, and an active quality control
program. A summary of our procedures are included in Section 6 of this proposal.
Phase 2 — Final Design
200 UTILITY COORDINATION. Coordination initiated with the utilities during Phase 1 of the project, will
continue throughout the design of the project. Notices will be sent to all franchise utilities that will be
impacted by the project, requesting the relocation of the pertinent facilities. A copy of the utility file for each
utility company/agency will be provided to the City.
210 GROUND SURVEY. Detailed ground survey will be used to supplement the aerial topography and base
mapping initiated in Phase 1. Information will include establishing the existing ground above the proposed
sewer, locating the precise location of existing utilities and above -grade improvements (walls, trees, etc.), and
defining other key surface features. All existing sewer and storm drain manholes in the vicinity of the
proposed sewer construction would be dipped to determine existing invert elevations.
220 GEOTECHNICAL. The geotechnical investigation will be completed in accordance with applicable City
standards. Based on published information, we are anticipating predominantly silt, silty sand, and sand soil
conditions. The borings will extend to a depth of 15 to 25 feet below the existing grade. We are proposing a
total of seven borings for Project No. 1. Two of the borings will be drilled near the toes of the I-5
embankment, where the pipe jacking is anticipated. Two additional borings are proposed within the parking
lots on both sides of the railroad tracks. If Project No. 6 eliminates the parallel sewer construction portion of
Project No. 1, the borings will be drilled along the proposed alignment, including the proposed siphon.
The geotechnical report will include recommendations for pipe jacking (including shoring for the jacking and
receiving pits), drilling (if needed for Project No. 6), groundwater, temporary and permanent slope stability,
corrosion potential, lateral earth pressures, backfill and bedding, and will also identify the necessity for
dewatering.
We have assumed that a drilling permit will be required from the County of Orange if Project No. 6 is
constructed, and that no -fee permits can be obtained from the City. We are also requesting assistance from the
City in coordinating with property owners and in obtaining permission to drill borings on private property.

230 FINAL PLANS. Forty scale sewer plans will be prepared for the projects based on the final approved
alignment selected in Phase 1. For the purposes of this proposal, we have assumed the construction of a new
sewer roughly parallel to the existing Project No. 1 alignment including two jacking operations or the
construction of Project No. 6. For both alternatives, we have also included the rehabilitation of the existing
sewer along the Project No. 1 alignment. The plans will include plan and profile drawings, necessary manhole
details, and details required to join the existing facilities. Details will also be provided showing limitations of
boring pits, casing installation, carrier pipe installation, and as necessary, directional drilling for the proposed
siphon. If identified in Task 1, designs will include alternative means of trenchless construction, such as
directional drilling.
The following represent some of the key issues anticipated during final design.
Lining Options to be Considered. During the last five years, there have been a number of new technologies that
have entered the marketplace and that are included in the Greenbook. It will be important to get the comfort
level of the City regarding the lining methods that will be allowed, so that certain methods can be excluded
from the bidding process. The project specifications will have to be carefully written to only allow those
methods that are deemed to be acceptable by the City and County.
Temporary Sewage Handling. A critical issue for all sewer rehabilitation projects is the handling of flows
during construction. Sewage generation cannot be interrupted, and suitable temporary flow handling facilities
and flow bypass strategies will need to be incorporated into design development.
Utilities. It is anticipated that the full compliment of utility systems will be encountered by the project.
Particular care will be undertaken to safeguard against negative impacts to surrounding utility systems. The
limited width at some of the locations provides very limited opportunity for alignment modifications to
existing sewers. Sewer rehabilitation measures will be coordinated with the Health Department where waivers
to the general separation criteria will be required.
Access Issues. Project development must be sensitive to a wide range of access requirements and concerns.
The proposed sewer rehabilitation access requirements include providing driveway access; facilitating services
such as trash pick-ups; and coordinating access and emergency response requirements with police and fire
departments. Access requirements will be specifically addressed in contract documents making use of special
provisions limiting the extent of concurrent contractor operations, related available work hour limits, limiting
open excavations, and coordination of contractor activities with adjacent business operations.
Foundation/Structure Support. Field reviews indicated the presence of adjacent structures that may be in close
proximity to the sewer alignments. Construction of temporary support for foundations may be required as a
part of the contract documents.
240 COST ESTIMATES AND SPECIFICATIONS. Preliminary cost estimates will be prepared for the proposed
improvements and included with the preliminary plans. Construction cost estimates will, in turn, be updated
and resubmitted with each subsequent set of improvement plans.

i. Project Understanding/Scope of Work
Standard specifications will be prepared for the project based on the Greenbook standards and will consist of
two different sets covering lining and cut and cover. The specifications shall be developed in conformance
with the City's standard format.
250 RAILROAD AND CALTRANS PERMITS. The LAN team will secure the necessary railroad and Caltrans
permits needed to jack the pipes through the respective agency's right-of-way, or as needed, a permit from the
County for the proposed siphon associated with Project No. 6. We have assumed that the City will pay all fees
and costs associated with the permits. The Caltrans encroachment permit includes getting cultural resource
clearance from two organizations, and that generally takes about two weeks. We are estimating that even with
our expertise in this area, the Caltrans encroachment permit approval will take at least three months to obtain.
Permitting for the Railroad will require the issuance of a License Agreement for the sewer line crossing within
their right-of-way. The application will be filed with the Real Estate and Utility Specifications Department in
Omaha, Nebraska. The Application will require the following:
r Legal description of the crossing
Y Approved plans
Y Copy of the project Geotechnical Report
Y Potholing of the Railroad tenant's underground utilities within the crossing area
Y Permit application and processing fee
Y The cost of the right-of-way occupied by the crossing at current market value to be assessed against the
City of San Juan Capistrano.
Once the application is filed, it is expected to take about 60 days for the UPRR to process and approve. In
addition, the following items will be required:
Y Insurance to work within the railroad right-of-way for potholing.
Y Any necessary relocation of Railroad tenant's facilities will be at the City of San Juan Capistrano's
cost (design and relocation of tenant utilities would be performed by the respective utility owners.)
260 MEETINGS. Regularly scheduled meetings are a key to keeping projects on schedule, avoiding pitfalls,
and keeping the lines of communication open with the City, so that surprises do not occur during the final
stages of the project. Meetings will be held as needed to complete the project.
270 PROJECT MANAGEMENT I QA 1 QC. Quality Control will be an on-going task throughout the duration of
the project. LAN initially develops a quality control work plan internally to evaluate the project team selected
for the assignment. The work plan outlines the design standards and manuals to be followed, establishes
checking and review procedures, and identifies assignments and responsibilities.
All design documents prepared by the LAN Team are checked in detail prior to formal submittal. At key
milestones throughout the design process, independent checks will be performed on the various aspects of the
design. Additionally, review plans are circulated internally at predetermined levels to maintain uniformity in
plan preparation
