l `a' ' Proposal - Engineering Services for the Cook's Reservoir Replacement Project
City of Son Juan Capistrano
Project Understanding
Cook's reservoir is located on the south side of Calle Ricardo in the western part of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
The existing reservoir was constructed in 1967 and has a capacity of 0.43 million gallons. A single 10 inch inlet/outiet
line feeds the reservoir from the south side of the site. An on site pump station and hydro -pneumatic tank boosts
pressure to a closed zone above the reservoir. The eidsting reservoir was drained and taken out of service after a
large crack was discovered. The eidsting reservoir, pump station and hydro -pneumatic tank will be removed, and a
new reservoir will be built in its place. A comprehensive preliminary design report has been prepared by the
engineering professionals here at RBF Consulting, and we are aware of the challenges that need to be addressed in
the design and construction of this new facility.
Rendering of Proposed Cook's Reservoir
Key Project Issues
Given that the existing reservoir failed due to differential settlement of fill soils that were not properly consolidated,
and its location in an upscale residential neighborhood adjacent to a major watershed ravine that has been
problematic for local residents, the following key issues were investigated in detail and will be integrated into the
final design phase in order to provide a new reservoir that will be efficient, cost-effective, aesthetically blend in with
the surrounding landscape, and be a safer and quieter neighbor for adjacent homeowners.
• Structural/Geotechnical Considerations
• Environmental Sensitivity
• Demolition / Hazardous Materials Removal and Disposal
• Architectural/ Aesthetic Concerns
• Site Drainage
• Electrical — Integration into the City's SCADA System

Structural/ Geotechnical Considerations
Lawson & Associates prepared a comprehensive soils report based on an in depth geotechnical
investigation at the site. The following is a summary of the recommendations which will be
incorporated into final design calculations, drawings, and specifications for the project:
Site Earthwork Site earthwork is generally considered to be the demolition of the existing reservoir, excavation of
temporary slopes, and placement of shoring in order to perform required earthwork removals in order to construct
?,
the new reservoir. Prior to grading of areas to receive structural fill, the areas should be cleared of surface
obstructions and potentially compressible material, such as topsoil and vegetation. It is recommended that
n'
earthwork removals be performed in order to provide a minimum of 3 feet of compacted aggregate base below the
N
proposed reservoir foundation and extending laterally a minimum of 3 feet beyond the proposed footprint.
-q
Allowable Soff Bearing. An allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,000 psf may be used for the design of footings having
ro•
a minimum width of 12 inches and minimum embedment of 24 inches below lowest adjacent ground surface. A
1).
friction coefficient of 0.30 may be used for foundations subject to lateral loads. Provided that earthwork
recommendations are properly implemented, total and differential settlement is estimated to be on the order of 1
u
total inch and 1/2 inch over a horizontal span of 30 feet.
d
Lateral Earth Pressures. The following values for lateral earth pressure for the active and at rest conditions are
[ Ca
recommended at this site:
7
ss..
• Active / Cantilever - 50H
F
• At Rest / Restrained - 72H
• Minimum Vehicle Surcharge where required -100 psf
G,
• Seismic Increment - 20H
Ultimate passive lateral earth pressures for level ground and a sloping down condition are as follows:
• Level at Toe - 300H (4500 psf max.)
• Sloping Condition (2H:1V)-125H (1875 psf max.)
Temporary Stability and Shoring. Due to the required depth of remedial grading, temporary slopes and/or shoring
will be required around the perimeter of the site during construction. In general, temporary slopes should not be
constructed at a slope ratio greater than 1.3:1 (horizontal: vertical).
Soil Corrosivity to Concrete and Metal. Site soils are considered severely corrosive to buried ferrous metals.
Nonstructural Concrete PlatworWlmprovements. Due to expansive nature of site soils, special considerations
should be made for any proposed concrete flatwork.
Geotechnical Observation and Testing. The geotechnical consultant should perform geotechnical observation and
testing during future grading, excavations, foundation preparation, backfill, when any unusual soil conditions are
encountered at the site.

Preconstruction Documentation and Construction Monitoring. It is recommended that a program of
documentation and monitoring be devised and put into practice before the onset of any groundwork. This should
include detailed documentation of the existing improvements, buildings, and utilities around the area of proposed
excavation.
Pre -construction surveys of offsite properties and vibration monitoring will be performed during grading.
Excessive vibrations will be addressed at the appropriate time based on field conditions.
During the project workshop which was held on January 17th at City Hall, one of the residents discussed an
earthwork project in the proximity of his house, and the damage and annoyance that was caused from the vibration
of heavy equipment. Vibration monitoring on this project is therefore of paramount importance. RBF will work
closely with Lawson & Associates to develop the monitoring and documentation program during the design phase.
The appropriate notes will be included on the design drawings, and the project specifications will include
information on the appropriate equipment, as well as a standard form for documentation.
Environmental Sensitivity
RBF Consulting has prepared an initial study for the City of San Juan Capistrano in accordance with
CEQA to determine if the proposed project would have a significant impact on the environment. The
initial study was posted at the county of Orange on the 13th of January, and the public review period
will extend from this date thru February 2nd. RBF will work closely with the City to address any
concerns that may arise, and incorporate these into the final design of the reservoir. In the meantime,
several mitigation measures were recommended in the initial study to minimize the impacts of construction. The
following measures will be addressed and incorporated into the final design drawings and specifications:
Air Quality. All material excavated or graded will be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
Watering will occur at least twice daily with complete coverage, preferable in the late morning and after work is done
for the day. All material transported on-site or off-site will be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to
prevent excessive amounts of dust. The area disturbed by cleaning, grading, earth moving, or excavation operations
will be minimized so as to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
Hydrology and Water Quality. A Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) will be prepared by the City that will
discuss discretionary permits and water quality conditions, Best Management Practices, inspection and maintenance,
and other water quality issues. RBF has provided the City with the necessary information and recommended BMP's
for this site as part of the PDR report. RBF will continue to work closely with the City in preparing this document so
that the contractor can implement the appropriate procedures to control runoff from the site.
In addition, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared by the contractor and will emphasize
structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) in compliance with NPDES Program
requirements. RBF will review the SWPPP as a shop drawing submittal to ensure compliance, and we will be
looking for this plan to address the following concerns:
• Siltation of drainage devices shall be handled through a maintenance program to remove silt/dirt from
channels and parking areas.

City of San Juan Capistrano
• Surplus or waste material from construction shall not be placed in drainage ways or within the 100 -year
floodplain of surface waters.
• All loose piles of soil, silt, clay, sand, debris, or other earthen materials shall be protected in a reasonable
(30) days prior to commencement of demolition activity
Transportation/Traffic. A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) shall be prepared by the contractor to address short-
term mitigation for roadways and shall be subject to City approval prior to demolition or construction of any
facilities. RBF will assist the City by reviewing this plan as a shop drawing submittal. The design drawings and
specifications will limit areas for parking construction equipment and workers' personal vehicles. This will minimize
interference with roadway traffic and local residential parking. Provide a flag person as appropriate to guide traffic
properly and to ensure safety at construction sites.
Demolition / Hazardous Materials Removal and Disposal
To make way for construction of the new reservoir, the existing reservoir, along with the on site
booster pump station and hydro -pneumatic tank will be demolished and the resulting debris hauled
9Oo off site and disposed of by the contractor. Sample collection and testing of paint on interior metal
surfaces of the reservoir, as well as joint caulking material, revealed the presence of lead paint and PCB's. Special
procedures will need to be followed by the contractor to ensure compliance with all local, federal and state
requirements in regard to worker safety, as well as proper dismantling, packaging, hauling and disposal of
contaminated materials. To make sure that the contractor is aware of the proper procedures, RBF will provide the
following in the contract documents:

• Demolition plans. These will clearly indicate the contaminated material to be removed and properly
disposed of.
• Specification sections that clearly outline the contractor's responsibility in regard to worker safety, as well as
limitations during demolition, proper procedures for packaging, hauling and disposal, as well as site cleanup
and testing.
• laboratory results already conducted will be included as part of the project specifications so that the
contractor is clear on what he will find during demolition.
A concrete core sample was taken and analyzed by a laboratory to determine if asbestos fibers were present. The
results of the testing indicated that no asbestos was present, therefore, the demolition plans will reflect that concrete
from the existing reservoir can be disposed of as ordinary construction waste material.
Architectural/ Aesthetic Concerns
As the reservoir is located in an upscale residential neighborhood, design of the replacement reservoir
must consider visual impact on those residences who have a view of the site. RBF worked together
with the City in the preliminary design phase to generate three visual simulations from the most
sensitive vantage points. These were included in both the PDR report and the initial study for public
review. Before and after views for one of the vantage points was also included in a notification letter to local
residents. This generated feedback at the public workshop held on January 17th at City Hall. One of the local
residents indicated that he could see the reservoir site from his house, and that he also drives by the site frequently.
He had no objection to the project, but indicated that in order to mitigate the visual impact of the new reservoir and
scada antenna, both should be painted green to blend with the landscape. More suggestions may arise during the
public review period, and RBF will work closely with the City to address these comments so that the final design
result in a structure that is aesthetically pleasing to the residents who view it on a regular basis.
Site Drainage
The reservoir site is located just north of a large drainage ravine which has been problematic for local
residents. The storm drain system located in the reservoir frontage road (Calle Ricardo) eventually
flows into this ravine, as does the existing culvert which collects stormwater and tank overflow from the
1'r reservoir site. A hydrology study prepared for the City and reviewed by RBF indicates that the
' Iaii
watershed area encompasses 117 acres. T'he reservoir site is just over a half acre in size, and contributes
very little runoff and overflow as compared to the entire watershed area. Drainage for the site has been designed to
flow into the existing catch basin at the northeast corner of the site, making use of an existing 12 inch PVC culvert
which flows into the ravine. This culvert runs along a row of existing poplar trees in a drainage easement maintained
by the City. One of the local residents attended the public workshop and voiced his concern over the intrusive root
system propagated by these trees. RBF will work closely with the City during the design phase to mitigate these
concerns by:
• Recommending video inspection of the existing culvert by the City prior to construction to ensure that roots
are not hindering flow
• Recommending proper energy dissipation devices at the outlet so that excessive erosion does not occur
• Verifying the slope and thus capacity of the existing culvert to ensure that it can handle the 5 cfs combined
runoff and tank overflow.

Proposal - Engineering
City of San Juan Capis
Services for the Cook's Reservoir Replacement Project
The final design plans and specifications will address all of these concerns. This is a very sensitive issue, and RBF
will work closely with the City in addressing both the engineering and public concerns to provide a drainage system
that will be hydraulically efficient and resident friendly.
Electrical - Integration into the City's SCADA System
2LIn the preliminary design phase, RBF has determined that the new reservoir will require a 120/ 240 Volt
single phase service to accommodate the loads associated with the new reservoir including site lighting,
convenience receptacles, controls, PLC and communication equipment. A 120/240 Volt, 100 Ampere
meter pedestal is required to house the SDG&E metering equipment, main circuit breaker and the distribution
panel for the reservoir loads. The electrical service could be provided from Existing SDG&E Pole Number P129473.
The recommended location for the meter pedestal is at the southeast corner of the site. This location would be
accessed from the gate on the south end of the property. RBF will incorporate this into the final electrical drawings
and specifications for the project. In addition, Cook's replacement reservoir will be incorporated into the City
SCADA system. RBF has reviewed documentation provided by the City which includes a radio survey analysis
performed in 1990 indicating that radio communication was available between Cook's Reservoir and the Krum
Reservoir repeater site using a 10 dB yagi directional antenna mounted on a 20 -foot antenna mast and a 900 MHz
radio. If this line of sight is still available, the following equipment is required to accommodate the SCADA
integration: Alligator Communication Inc. radio Model Number 1888A, Modiccn PLC, terminal blocks, 12 VDC-
24VDC Converter, and battery charger, NEMA 3R enclosure (CP -1), 10 dB yagi directional antenna and 20 -foot
antenna mast. The NEMA 3R enclosure (CP -1) will house the PLC, radio and auxiliary devices. This equipment
will be clearly indicated on the final design drawings and specified in the project specifications.
Quality Control
RBF will have ongoing quality control for the project. Our concept for Quality Control is to remove
barriers so that each designer and engineer can design each element of a project correctly, the first
,.
time. Quality Assurance begins with the designation of individuals with the appropriate experience
and availability to manage the project, lead tasks and accomplish technical work. A second element
is to gain understanding and commitment from each team member on the scope of work and their responsibilities,
within the work scope, as well as the budget and schedule. The third element is to provide a structured process for
reviews. The Quality Control / Assurance Program places responsibility at the level of the organization closest to
production of each work element. The peer review is designed to check/backcheck, make conclusions on design
methods, calculations and decisions. The designer and peer are encouraged to discuss approaches and 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.

1.5 Four sets of the drawings and specifications will be provided to the City for review at the 50, 75, and 90
percent stages of completion. RBF will resolve and incorporate the City staff comments into the design
documents. RBF will prepare meeting minutes to note all comments for distribution. RBF will attend up to
four meetings. RBF can attend additional meetings on a time and materials basis.
1.6 A construction cost estimate of the proposed work covered by the final plans and specifications will be
prepared.
1.7 Prepare a construction schedule for the proposed work based upon the final plans and specifications.
Task 2. Permits
2.1 Permits will be obtained as needed for construction of the proposed reservoir and pipelines. Permit costs will
be paid by the City. At a minimum, it is expected that permits from the City of San Juan Capistrano
Engineering and Building Department and Planning Department. Environmental Clearance is expected to
be approved prior to commencement of the final design.
Task 3. Construction Bidding Through Contract Award
3.1 Attend a pre-bid conference at a date, time, and place set by the City.
3.2 Interpret the construction contract documents as requested and needed. Prepare and issue addenda to the
construction contract bid documents when required.
3.3 Assist the City and answer questions as appropriate during the bid opening.
3.4 Make recommendations to the City concerning contract award
Task 4. Construction Engineering Support
4.1 Provide general contract administration for construction of the project. The Owner will hire a specific Project
Manager, RBF will provide a resident engineer on a full or part-time basis, as required, who will observe the
contractor's construction progress, attend meetings with the City and the contractor regarding project schedules,
interpretation of the contract documents (requests for information/clarification (RFI/RFC)), construction
changes and irregularities; provide digital photographs and reports and final construction report and assist in
quality assurance, and in achieving conformance with contract plans and specifications.
RBF will address up to 10 RFIs/RFCs and will attend up to 12 meetings with the City/Contractor. RBF will
address additional RFls and attend extra meetings as required, on a time and materials basis.
We have received clarification from Joe Mankawich, Project Manager at the City of San Juan Capistrano, that
"resident engineer" does not mean construction inspector or manager on site during construction. Our proposal
reflects office engineer support only. No field inspection or site construction management services are provided
under this proposal. RBF can provide Construction Management services under separate contract at a later date
should the City decide it is necessary.
4.2 Provide office engineering and consultation, as required and coordinate with the City in management of the
construction contract.

4.3 Prepare supplementary sketches and details as required to resolve field construction problems that may be
encountered.
4.4 Review and provide advice to the City on change order(s) and/or extra work order(s) as needed. RBF has
allotted B hours time for this item. RBF will review additional change orders on a time and materials basis.
4.5 Review all construction shop drawings, fabrication and mill testing of equipment and materials for complete
and strict conformance with the contract plans, specifications and documents. RBF will assure that any
deviations or substitutions submitted by the contractor will be equal to or of better quality than specified in
the contract documents. RBF will make its recommendation and require with the City staff all substitutions
and receive the City's concurrence prior to approving any substitution. RBF will submit to the City two (2)
copies of all preliminary and final shop drawings that have been reviewed for conformance.
4.6 Prepare construction "record" drawings based on marked -up bid documents and drawings received from the
City's inspection staff. Submit one (1) full-size original mylar reproducible set of construction "record"
drawings and an electronic copy of the AutoCAD file to the City in accordance with the PWD Digital
Submission Standards.
4.7 Establish a punchlist with the City construction inspection staff for the contractor at project completion.
