CAPISTRANO ROYAL PUMP STATION REHABILITATION PROJECT
SSC Engineering (SSC) is pleased to provide this professional design engineering services proposal to the City ofSan
Juan Capistrano (City) for the Royal Pump Station Rehabilitation Project. This proposal is to provide engineering and
construction support services for a completed and successful project as described below. A fee estimate is submitted in a
separate envelope. SSC will not enter into any Joint Ventures for this project. SSC has insurance to cover the
requirements in the RFP, and will provide certifications necessary to the City. We have reviewed and understand the
requirements in the RFP and take no exceptions. The proposal also addresses the Pre-proposal meeting questions and
City's responses. This proposøl is an offer ønd in affectþr a 90-døy períod
I. O PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Background Information
Capistrano Royale Pump Station (PS) was constructed over 32 years ago. It pumps from the 574N Zone to the 663N
nofihern most Zone. The PS is the only source of water supply to the 663N Zone. The 663N Zone is a closed system and
because of that the PS utilized a hydro pneumatic tank to affectively meet the varying water demands and pressures to
the 663N Zone.
We spoke to operators to gain a clear understanding of the issues. It was apparent that PS had operational problems. The
station's pumps cycled up to an unbelievable 250 to 500 times per day. Motors cannot handle this as a typical rule of
thumb is a max of 6 starts per hour. The stations electrical equipment was being taxed by poor operation, tripping relays
and switches often. It caused operators have to be present to fix problems beyond normal increasing labor costs. The
hydro tank was removed and pumps are controlled to operate full time. Pressure set points were adjusted to Band-Aid the
problems. The current operation runs the pumps continually and whcn pressures build up pressure reliêf allows the water
to pump in a loop back to the suction side of the pumps. The fire pumps system needs upgrading to ensuro the homes are
protected.
The minimum sizing goals for the PS were determined by the City's Domestic Water System Master Plan (D'ù/MP).
Flow and Head requirements are listed in Table 1 below.

meeting. Any adjustments to the schedule will be discussed with the City in advance, and it will be updated if
required to make course corrections in the event ofproject issues and changes.
1.4 Design Progress Meetings: SSC will arrange for and participate in design progress meetings with CITY to
review progress ofthe project work and exchange ideas and information. SSC will prepare an agenda one week in
advance, and will deliver a meeting minute's summary within 3 days after the meeting. Action items will be
identified and followed-up for resolution prior to next meeting. Task assumes a 1- hour meeting per month for a
total of2.
2.0 Site Investigation and Evaluation
2.lData Collection: The work in this task includes collection and review of related available plans, specifications,
reports, and operating data.
2.1.1 Site Visit: Project Manager and Engineer will visit the Capistrano Royal Pump Station and document
existingconditions.
3.0 Prelininary Design Report and Investigation
3.1 Prepare preliminary design report (PDR). The PDR at a minimum is required to determine the most efficient
and cost effective design for the pump station rehabilitation to meet the peak pumping capacity required in the
DTVMP with I duty pump and another as a spare. The PDR will include an analysis and address the following
subjects: components for the pump station rehabilitation, redundancy and longevity, energy consumption,
constructability. The PDR will: investigate cunent operation parameters and ensure that the pump(s) shut-off
before the discharge zone is over-pressurized/when the PRV valve opens, discuss surge in general terms, and
if a factor, make recommendations on how it can best be mitigated, include an analysis of the existing
ventilation systern and recommendation for upsizing to accormnodate and properly ventilate the added heat
load from the new VFD units, and include analysis of the existing panel adequacy. SSC will noti$ the City if
the panel is determined inadequate. This will allow the City to begin discussions early with their electricity
provider to upsize the service. The PDR will address corosion control protection, electrical backup power with a
manual transfer switch, VFD control, and an operational description. A preliminary construction schedule, an
engineer's opinion of probable construction costs and operational costs description will be included The PDR will
Address a packaged pump station ultemstíve versus a conventional construction.
3.2 Present PDR Findings: Meet with City staff to review comments on the draft preliminary design report and
preliminary 30 percent drawings. Respond to comments, revise the draft as necessary, and submit one hard copy
and an electronic PDF copy of the final preliminary design report to the City. The final preliminary design report
will be used as the basis for final design ofthe project.
4.0 Final Design and Co¡rstruction Documents
4.1 Pump Station Rehabilitation Design: The plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) will indicate the
demolition requirements identifying conflicts with utilities and structures, addressing operation, maintenance and
corrosion protection. The design will consider constraints of safety, feed capacity, water supply requirements,
pressure requirements and setback requirements, view requirements from nearby residences, easements and other
limitations. The drawings and specifications will instruct the Contractor with legal language on where to dispose of
any hazardous materials. SSC will design new variable frequency drives and electrical components and
modifications to accommodate the new mechanical equipment. Ventilation improvements will be addressed. The
electrical design will include a manual transfer switch for use during a power outage by providing a means of
connecting a portable generator. The existing SCADA panel will be accept the new VFD's and control the
operation.
