A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES TASK ORDERS FOR WHITE SLOUGH WATER
POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY DISCHARGE PERMIT
COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES, AND FURTHER APPROPRIATE
FUNDS FOR THIS PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City's current wastewater discharge permit, issued by the State
Regional Water Quality Control Board in February 2000, includes a requirement for the
installation of filters (tertiary treatment) by May 1, 2004; and
WHEREAS, since the issuance of the permit, City staff and our consultants have
investigated s everal a Itematives f or m eeting d ischarge requirements, i ncluding s ome t hat
would not include filters; and
WHEREAS, following several meetings with the Regional Board staff and other
changes in regulations that will affect our next permit, it is clear that not only will filters be
needed, but also other measures will need to be implemented; and
WHEREAS, in order to meet our permit obligations, staff proposes to implement
improvements to the Facility in two major phases (that will also include minor subphases).
They are as follows:
1) Predesign and environmental work for the entire project, interim
aeration improvements, and filter installation — work in 2002, 2003,
and 2004.
2) Final design and secondary plant improvements, land acquisition,
treatment wetland construction, and discharge relocation — work in
2004 and 2005.
The Phase 1 construction work will necessitate significant funding in 2003, on the
order of $15 to $17 million. Part of the work will be identifying financing methods,
although timing issues may preclude use of a State revolving fund loan for the entire
project. However, other financing pools will likely offer favorable rates. The work
included in the requested appropriation is the following:
A) Predesign, financial, and environmental services with West Yost &
Associates — this work includes:
• analysis of membrane bioreactors as an alternative to secondary
facilities upgrades recommended in the adopted Master Plan
• analysis of alternate wetland sites and preliminary design of the
wetland by their subconsultant, Brown & Caldwell
• preliminary Bishop Cut outfall, filter, and disinfection designs
• financial analysis of funding alternates and rate/fee adjustments by
subconsultant Hilton, Farnkoph, Hobson
• miscellaneous mapping, aerial photography, filter and disinfection,
and project management
• total cost $454,000
B) Design of Interim Aeration Improvements — This work, also by West
Yost, includes final design and preparation of plans and
specifications for blower and air diffuser replacement to improve
effluent quality until other improvements can be completed. The
interim improvements will be totally compatible with the planned
secondary treatment improvements and would need to be done
anyway. The cost for this task is $140,000.
C) Design of Tertiary Filtration Improvements — West Yost &
Associates' work on this phase of the project includes final design
and preparation of plans and specifications for site preparation,
pumping facilities, chemical handling, and tertiary filters. The
construction would be divided into two contracts with the first phase,
earthwork and site preparation, starting spring 2003 and ending fall
2003. Second phase of construction would immediately follow with
completion summer/fall 2004. This design work is expected to cost
$555,000.
D) Groundwater Monitoring Report — This work, by Saracino-Kirby-
Snow, will compile and analyze our groundwater monitoring data at
the Facility. This work is a permit requirement. T he task will be
done in two phases; the first will be an initial study to evaluate recent
monitoring and derive preliminary conclusions and
recommendations to be sure we have adequate monitoring in place.
The second phase will be a final report which will take place after
additional monitoring work is completed. The requested
appropriation for this effort is $35,000.
E) Bishop Cut Flow Meter Installation — This work includes the
installation of a flow meter in Bishop Cut where the City is planning
to install a new outfall. This flow data is necessary to design the
outfall and storage facilities to meet State requirements. The
Council previously authorized staff to contract with the State
Department of Water Resources (DWR) to install this meter;
.however, we have been informed by DWR that due to budget cuts
and staff shortages, it may not be able to do this work. If that is the
case, staff proposes to work with our existing consultant team to do
this work. This work is anticipated to cost $60,000.
F) Regulatory Assistance — This work, also by West Yost, consists of
permit negotiations with the Regional Board, much of which has
already taken place. Staff will need significant additional assistance
in dealing with the Regional Board on the Bishop Cut outfall issue.
The cost of these efforts is estimated to be $70,000.
G) Miscellaneous Work and Contingencies — These items include
bidding assistance, other technical assistance as needed, laboratory
analytical costs, appraisals, and other outside direct expenses.
Plus, we request a contingency amount of roughly 3% of the above
items for a total amount of $37,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute additional professional services task orders for White
Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Discharge Permit Compliance Activities; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that funds in the amount of 1,261,000.00 be
appropriated as follows:
The above items total $1,351,000. We have $90,000 in unused prior
appropriations which can be applied to this amount thereby reducing the total
new appropriation to $1,261,000. This work was included in the fiscal year
2002/03 Wastewater CIP Budget, Page 37, with a total estimate of $2.5 million.
