Staff Report for the Board of Directors Meeting of June 25, 2014 TO: Board of Directors

FROM: Gary King, Engineering Manager Adrian Schneider, Senior Associate Engineer

DATE: June 18, 2014

SUBJECT: Siphon Lane Pump Station Design-Build Project ENGINEERING

RECOMMENDATION: Approve a design-build contract with Gateway Pacific Contractors in the amount of $2,497,738, authorize the General Manger to execute the documentation, and approve a budget amendment for the Siphon Lane Pump Station Project formally called the DS Pump Station project as recommended by the Engineering Committee on May 21, 2014 and the Administrative Practices Committee on June 3, 2014. BACKGROUND: During emergency or scheduled shut downs of the conveyance systems upstream of the Cascade Canal such as the South Yuba Canal, the District pumps water from the DS Canal up to the Cascade Canal and the Snow Mountain Ditch. The water is pumped using an existing pipe and siphon (Cascade Extension – Snow Mountain Siphon) and portable rental pumps. In 2013, pumping was required in two separate events. One of the events in 2013 consisted of one month of pumping at a cost to the District in excess of $66,400 for expenses such as fuel, equipment rental, and labor. A significant amount of time is required to set up the pumps and it is dependent on the availability of the pumps. Furthermore, set up in winter weather conditions can take more time. During this time, water deliveries to raw water customers are impacted and treated water facilities will run on storage from conveyance facilities or until facilities are out of water. This situation is improved when the pumps are operating or the Cascade Canal is back in service. A permanent pump station would alleviate the high cost of temporary pump rental and the eliminate time to make it operational. In addition, the permanent pump station would generate less noise than the temporary pumps which is a predominant complaint during these emergency situations. Finally, the pump station will provide the District the necessary operational to adjust during emergency or scheduled repairs and maintenance. On January 10, 2014, staff solicited a request for proposals (RFP) from pre-selected contractors and consultants. The RFP was sent to eight contractors and nine

consultants. On March 7, 2014, four proposals were received by the following contractors: T&S Construction, C&D Construction, Gateway Pacific Contractors, and Hansen Bros. Enterprises. Proposals were evaluated by the Engineering Manager, Operations Manager, Maintenance Manager, and a Senior Engineer and were scored and ranked using screening criteria as outlined in the RFP. Costs were included in the ranking after the initial scoring was compiled. In all categories with the exception of cost, Gateway Pacific scored the highest of the proposals and had the second lowest cost of all four proposals. Gateway Pacific had the overall highest score and recommended for this project. On March 27, 2014, staff discussed the proposal with Gateway Pacific and its subcontractor Bennett Engineering Services. The District requested Gateway to develop options to reduce costs. The District reviewed the proposed cost reduction options and determined that reductions were not sufficient to eliminate those items from the contract. Staff recommends awarding the design-build contract to Gateway Pacific in the amount of $2,497,738. BUDGET: This project was budgeted in 2014 for design and was anticipated to be budgeted for construction in 2015. Failure of the South Yuba Canal in late 2013 emphasized the risks to District operations and the need for a permanent back up facility. Staff has reviewed other budgeted projects for 2014 and determined that this project is a higher priority than some of the projects currently budgeted. Staff recommends delaying the projects outlined in the budget amendment. At the APC meeting, there were concerns on the reductions in the AD/CFD budget. At this time, we do not have any AD/CFDs in development and these funds would not be used this year. The Engineering Department will continue to request $250,000 for the Community Investment Program budget in future years.

Gateway Pacific has constructed numerous water, wastewater, storm water and sludge pump stations. The majority of the water storage reservoirs we have constructed, have accompanying pump stations included as part of the contract. Gateway Pacific has furnished and installed self-cleaning screens similar to the Pinewood Pump Station Screens.

Gateway Pacific has constructed pump stations as large as 80 cfs. Several of the pump stations are dual-zone pump stations similar to the requirements of the DS Pump Station. We have installed vertical turbine pumps as large as 20 cfs and high pressure pumps up to 500 psi.

Gateway Pacific has a good relationship with all of the major water pump manufacturers and suppliers. There are many factors that can affect the efficiency of vertical turbine pumps; we have worked closely with the design engineer, pump manufacturer and owners to get the highest efficiency possible.

Pump stations are successfully built by a combination of self-performance capabilities and proven project management skills. Gateway Pacific can self-perform excavation, site utilities, piling, concrete, carpentry, mechanical piping, and the installation of pumping, mechanical, and electrical, and plumbing equipment. We also have extensive experience coordinating with the best manufacturers and electrical engineering firms in the industry to fulfill these requirements.

Team ExperienceThe team of Gateway Pacific Contractors and Bennett Engineering is currently working together on Nevada Irrigation District’s (NID) design-build of the Banner Taylor Tank Replacement Project. This project consists of two pre-stressed concrete reservoirs, foundation improvements, piping; electrical and controls modifications and civil work inside a foot print of the existing earthen reservoir while keeping half of the reservoir in service. It also required that the project be designed and constructed to meet NSF-61 standards for potable water. We had no problems meeting the California Department of Public Health approval of concrete water tanks for use in public potable water systems. We have completed 90 percent of the design and have completed and put in service the first 4.6MG Tank. The second Tank 5.9MG will have the concrete completed in March and be ready to be prestressed. All essential water main piping is complete.

“The excellent design was made even better during construction which saved cost. Gateway was always reasonable in their dealings with the city and we were able to establish a high level of confidence and trust. I do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering similar projects. We feel fortunate to have been able to complete two projects with them and hope they keep bidding our projects.” - Kevin Burke, Public Works Supervisor, City of Davis

“Gateway has demonstrated and maintained an excellent approach to problem solving and proactive resolution of not only the usual construction issues and challenges, but to an array of uncommon and unexpected issues and challenges on both projects...I highly recommend Gateway Pacific be considered for...particularly in design-build delivery programs.” - David C. Lee, PE, Senior Vice President, Consolidated CM

Project ExperienceReferences

PROPOSAL


The Banner Taylor project is in a residential neighborhood and is only accessible through residential streets and with homes adjacent to the site. Gateway Pacific understands the significance of working in close proximity to homes. Our project superintendent has built a good working relationship with the neighbors and there have been no complaints from them.

Gateway Pacific and Bennett Engineering are also currently working on a design-build 6MG Water Reservoir for the City of Santa Cruz the Bay Street Reservoir Replacement Phase 3 Design-Build Project. We have completed the demolition work and have completed an extensive geological study because of the Karst Geology formation under the tank. We are nearing the completion of that study and believe we have a solution that will save the owner over one million dollars compared to the other proposed solutions from our competitors. On this same site Gateway Pacific and Bennett Engineering redesigned a Water Booster Pump Station for the City of Santa Cruz that had a large footprint and made it difficult to access for maintenance. This resulted in a significant cost saving to the owner and a better solution for the operations staff.

Gateway Pacific and Bennett Engineers were contracted by MICROMIDAS (www.micromidas.com) to help design and build a $3.5 million pilot plant in West Sacramento. The plant transforms corrugated cardboard into paraxylene, a chemical that is used to make plastic bottles. This was a fast track project. The project had ongoing modifications because the system was based on newly formulated process. We were able to work with Micromidas’ chemists and scientists on a daily basis to cost-effectively complete the plant to their tight specifications. The ultimate result was to prove that a large scale plant would work and be cost-effective in making paraxylene, which is normally made from oil.

“Gateway Pacific...was excellent to work with, very professional, organized, produced high quality product, on schedule and on budget.” - David C. Lee, PE, Senior Vice President, Consolidated CM

Project Description: BEN|EN analyzed the PCWA Water Model, to determine the most appropriate means of adding PCWA facilities to provide service to the project with four pressure zones (one of which is a pumped closed zone). The pre-design effort included a report on projected demands, engineering calculations and use of PipeOpt for pipe sizing, and meetings with PCWA operations staff to define the specific requirements for the system. As a part of this process, BEN|EN proposed the use of packaged pumping stations, saving 20% on the construction costs and months on the construction time.

The project included a concrete masonry unit building with roof hatches for pump removal, pump controls, startup, SCADA, and back-up power via a Tier III diesel gen-set. Services included air quality permitting for the diesel gen-set. Construction was 90% completed as of July 2008. Final construction is currently on hold due to funding.

Challenges | Solutions: Low cost requirements combineed with fast construction. The issues were resolved by designing a factory-built station.

Highland Reserve North Pump Station


Project Similarities f Confined Footprint f 3 Pumps f Control Valves

Project Description: The project included integration of a new pump station into the City’s extended period H2OMAP water modeling for pumping system analysis and the engineering design and construction management of a pre-packaged pump station with three VFD operated pumps. The HRNPS project was originally conceived by the City as a built-in-place pump station. BEN|EN designed a packaged pump station and building, meeting the City of Roseville design standards. The project was publically bid listing the three pre-approved package pump station suppliers and saved the City over $200,000 in construction costs. In addition to cost savings, construction quality was improved and construction time was reduced. The project included integration of the pump station telemetry with the City SCADA system.

Challenges | Solutions: The City of Roseville had collected impact fees from developers to construct a pump station to serve Zone 4. For interim service, water was provided by PCWA. When the development was completed, the City was to construct the pump station and cease purchasing water from PCWA. However, it was discovered that the fees had been too low and not enough funds were collected to construct the pump station. The factory-built “packaged” pump station design greatly reduced construction costs and time, yet maintained quality.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE


Project Similarities f Variable Flows f Flow Solutions

Project Description: The existing control strategy had become unstable for the station that pumps to Roseville’s closed pressure Zone 2 during the transi-tion from summer to winter demands. BEN|EN performed troubleshooting for the Water System Operations staff for the Zone 2 DPPS pumps, to analyze the cause of abnormal operation of two VFD controlled pumps, and to determine a course of action to remedy the problem.

BEN|EN interviewed the station operations and maintenance staff to get an overall assessment of the problems, reviewed the SCADA-reported operating conditions, pump shop drawings and system control strategies, and the station’s pump curves. We then recommended several levels of modifications to the op-erations strategy. Based on pump curves obtained from the original pump tests, engineering calculations were made to provide a pump station system curve to display the pressure/flow characteristics of the VFD-driven pumps at a range of speeds. This system curve was then used to analyze the problems with the existing control strategy. Three system-fix options were prepared, requiring small to large budgets and requiring oversight ranging from manual to fully automatic, respectively.

Challenges | Solutions: This effort involved extensive analysis to find the cause of abnormal operation of two VFD-controlled pumps, and to determine a course of action to remedy the problem. The Zone 2 DPPS has since successfully made the transition from summer to winter demands.

PROPOSAL

Understanding | Conceptual Layout | Schedule

Section C

Project UnderstandingNevada Irrigation District currently operates the DS pump station using skid mounted diesel powered pumps. The pump station pumps water from NID’s DS Canal to two locations, Cascade Canal and Snow Mountain Ditch.

Cascade Canal is about 365 feet higher than the DS Canal. Water is pumped to Cascade Canal through an existing, buried, 1,580-foot-long, 16-inch ductile iron pipe. The existing pipe is in good condition and can be used with the proposed design. The District desires to pump 15 cubic feet per second (CFS) to Cascade Canal during normal operation. In the case of a failure of one pump at the DS Pump Station, the District desires to pump a minimum of 7 CFS to the Cascade Canal.

Snow Mountain Ditch is about 135 feet higher than the DS Canal. An existing, buried, 2,830-foot-long, 16-inch ductile iron pipe is used to transport water to Snow Mountain Ditch. The existing pipe is in good condition and can be used with the proposed design. The District desires to pump 4 CFS to the Snow Mountain Ditch during normal operation. In the case of a failure of one pump, the District would like to pump a minimum of 2 CFS.

The district is open to both variable speed pumps and constant speed pumps. The DS Pump Station location currently does not have utility electrical power. The nearest single phase power is 1,380 feet away and the nearest three phase power is 7,700 feet away. If utility electrical power is required for the proposed design, the cost of the electrical line extension is to be included in the design-build bid amount. The design submitted in the proposal will not require utility electrical power to the site.

The site is also near a residential area and will require sound attenuation to allow a maximum sound of 45 dB at a distance of 100 feet from the new pump station.

Project DesignThe Gateway Pacific/Bennett Engineering team has prepared a conceptual design for this project that includes efficient and cost effective solutions that meet the District’s requirements. The team proposes to use three (3) diesel powered, engine driven pumps. A solar-powered trickle charge will allow the batteries to provide power to start the pump engines. Over-sized alternators on each engine will provide power to the building lighting, controls, screen motors, weir motor (if provided), etc. A small propane heater will provide heat to avoid freezing. The pumps and engines will be housed in a split face block building with a wood truss, standing seam roof with removable sections to allow the pumps to be pulled for repair.

Sound attenuation components similar to the District’s Pinewood Pump Station will be included. Large double doors for engine removal and repair will be included.

PROPOSAL


Water from the DS Canal will be diverted into the pump station using a tilting weir gate. An International Water Screen self-cleaning trash rack will screen the water before entering a concrete wet well below the pump station.

The site will be fenced with chain link with a gate on either side of the site to allow access beyond the pump station site for maintenance. The site will include a crushed rock drive and parking/maintenance area.

With the use of engine-driven pumps with control valves, the need for surge suppression is not anticipated. The control valves will also act as a check valve with adjustable closing speed to provide surge control due to pump failure. Design will include a surge analysis to evaluate the proposed method for surge control. If necessary, during final design, additional surge control will be provided. Added surge control will be an additional cost. See the site plan drawings on the following page.

(1) Per Addendum No. 1

(2) 19.5 CFS divided between Cascade and Snow Mountain as needed

(3) 13 divided between Cascade and Snow Mountain as needed

The design proposal includes three (3) 6.5 CFS (each) diesel engine driven pumps. During normal operation the pump station will deliver 19.5 CFS total, which can be distributed to the Cascade Canal and Snow Mountain Ditch as the District desires using a flow control valve on the Cascade Canal pipeline. This arrangement can provide a total flow that exceeds the design requirements. If less flow is desired, the engine driven pumps can be throttled down or the pipeline valve can be partially closed to decrease the flow. Upon failure of one pump, a total of 13 CFS can be provided (distributed to each canal as the District desires using the flow control valve).

The pump station will be designed with a flow control valve (FCV) on the Snow Mountain discharge, which will provide a set flow to Snow Mountain Ditch. This piping arrangement will allow gravity flow from Cascade Canal to Snow Mountain Ditch. The flow though the FCV will be adjustable and the flow rate can be estimated based upon the stem position of the FCV. Flow measurement beyond that estimated by the stem position of the FCV is not provided. If desired by the District, flow measurement to either or both canals can be added at additional cost. Butterfly valves and check valves will be incorporated for each pump. Butterfly valves will be included on the discharge to each canal.

PROPOSAL


Future ExpansionIf power becomes available at the site, the proposed design will lend itself to a future installation of electric motors on top of the right-angle gear drives. The existing engines can then operate as emergency back-up pump drives in the event of power failure, eliminating the need for a large back-up generator.

Engine Drive Pump Selection Advantages f A large back-up generator is not required. If electric motors are

used, and the generator fails, a back-up unit should be provided. If two smaller generators are used, synchronizing them is not trivial.

f The design allows for future installation of electric motors on top of the angle gear drives. The existing engines then can be used for back-up.

f Engines are located in the concrete masonry unit building providing sound control

f Surge potential is less due to the engine shut-down dynamics f Fuel tanks can be interconnected, providing long run times and

staggered out-of-fuel failure f If only a portion of flow is required to be transported, only one

or two of the pumps could be running and/or the diesel engines can be throttled down, which will save fuel and reduce cost. With electric motors and a gen-set, the generator must run at all times during any pumping scheme.

Header/Manifold and Piping The design includes a 18-inch header pipe that connects to the two 16-inch conveyance pipes. At the high flows (19.5 CFS), the 18-inch pipe will have a velocity up to 11 fps.

We are proposing to utilize the existing piping system to each canal. The velocities in the pipes are as follows:

Flow 2 CFS

4 CFS

7 CFS

15 CFS

18 CFS

19.5 CFS

Velocity in existing 16” 1.4 fps 2.9 fps 5.0 fps 10.7 fps 12 fps 14.0 fps

Velocity in 18” 1.1 fps 2.3 fps 4.0 fps 8.5 fps 10.2 fps 11.0 fps

Velocity in existing 8” 5.7 fps 11.5 fps n/a n/a n/a n/a

Schedule We believe that the timeline proposed (six months for design and four months for construction) is feasible. Following approval of the proposed design parameters, all long-lead items will be ordered. This includes the engines, pumps, and right-angle gear drives. As design proceeds, additional items will be ordered so that all materials can be at the site as needed for construction.

We have prepared an anticipated schedule for this project to meet the timeline requested. See the following page.

PROPOSAL


SoundDue to the maximum allowed sound level of 45 dB, at 100 feet from the pump station, the design for the pump station building will incorporate acoustical panels for sound attenuation. The engines will include a silencer on the exhaust. The exhaust will be mounted and routed on the ceiling. The engine intake louvers will also include sound attenuation.

ControlsA float switch will be located in the wet well and will monitor the water level. The level signal will be used to stop the pumps in the event of low suction head. The control panel will be mounted on a wall.

Start UpPrior to starting the pump engine, the engine batteries will provide power to the screen motors to remove debris that may have accumulated. The batteries will also power the weir gate in the canal. The weir gate will be tilted to back up water in the canal and to allow water to flow to the pump station wet well. Once the operator concludes water is flowing freely into the station, the pump engines can be started, one at a time to operate in a normal operation. 12V solar power will be provided to trickle charge the batteries. Lighting in the building and the 12V or 24V screen and weir gate motors will be powered by the batteries. The battery system will be provided with a plug for a portable generator to provide power and battery charging if the need arises.

Operations and MaintenanceThe O&M for this facility will include (but is not limited to) the following:

Pump Seal Lubrication f Because these pumps may not run for extended periods,

consideration must be given to providing additional lubrication to the pump seals

Fuel f Diesel fuel becomes stale if it sits for extended periods. It may be

necessary to drain the diesel fuel or run the diesel dry. The design will take this into account.
