Agenda 07/13/2021 Item #16C13 (Reallocating Funds within Fund 414)07/13/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to reallocate funding within the Public Utilities Sewer User Fee Capital Project
Fund (414).
OBJECTIVE: To remain in compliance and meet demand throughout the North County Water
Reclamation Facility (“NCWRF”) service area.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 23, 2021 (Agenda Item 11.F), the Board approved the design-build
New Headworks Project No. 70149 in the amount of $28,738,890. During the current design phase of the
project, several value-added enhancements became evident that would improve the operation of this
critical piece of infrastructure. Unforeseen conditions were also encountered. The anticipated changes
and cost to design and construct are listed below:
• Isolation valves - Design and construct piping and valves that allow for the isolation or use of
either the new headworks or the old headworks. The Contractor’s proposal included the value-
added retention of the old headworks for reliability, which was not a design criteria package
requirement. To make the new and old systems more operationally flexible, this change is
needed. ($800,000 estimate)
• Stop logs to slide gates - Design and construct slide gates in lieu of the proposed stop logs for
isolation of the screening equipment. This feature was not a design criteria package requirement.
Slide gates will allow for operations to bring additional screening equipment online safely and
quickly. ($600,000 estimate)
• Headworks bypass - Design and construct piping and valves to allow for bypassing incoming
flow directly to the flow equalization basins. This feature was not a design criteria package
requirement. During the early stages of design, it was realized that adding the headwork bypass
will allow Operations to store all incoming flows in the flow equali zation basin to allow for
complete shutdown of flow through the plant for maintenance or repair of plant facilities.
($550,000 estimate)
• Cross connection - Design and construct piping and valves to cross connect the influent force
mains for the new Headworks to allow for operational flexibility and to allow for maintenance of
all parts of the headwork facility, by eliminating a potential single point of failure. This feature
was not a design criteria package requirement. ($400,000 estimate)
• Deconflict existing utilities - As-built drawings provided in the design criteria package showed
locations for the influent force mains, plant piping and electrical duct banks. The actual locations
of the existing underground piping, and size and location of electrical duct banks was found to be
significantly different. These unforeseen conditions greatly restricted the space available to
install the required 24-inch and 42-inch pipes for connection of the flow equalization basins. As
a result, additional design, piping modifications and valves are required. ($1,600,000 estimate)
• Permitting fees - This item provides funding to pay for anticipated building permit and site
development fees for the project. ($50,000 estimate)
FISCAL IMPACT: A $4,000,000 budget amendment is required to reallocate funding from Project No.
70139 MPS 101 Basin to Project No. 70149 NCWRF New Headworks within the Sewer Capital Project
Fund (414). No expenditures are authorized by this item. Work directives and change orders will follow
as appropriate in accordance with the Procurement Policy. Project No. 70139 has three remaining sub -
projects that will be phased over the next several years. The first will be constructed in FY 2022 and the
other two will follow as dictated by budget availability.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
