6b. Design of the Acappella Well Replacement Project

D
D
So,
as
we
are
aware,
the
city
owns
and
operates
its
water
system.
The
city
operates
five
groundwater
wells
that
extract,
treat
and
pump
water
into
the
distribution
system.
Four
wells
are
currently
active
and
one
inactive,
and
that
is
the
well
15,
also
known
as
commodore.
Well
so,
while
15
had
been
a
significant
source
of
the
city's
water
production
until
it
went
out
of
service
in
2010
due
to
low
production,
requiring
constant
maintenance.
D
So
in
2012,
the
city
procured,
erler
and
kallowski
in
inc,
also
known
as
eki
for
engineering
design,
services
for
the
well
15
replacement,
the
scope
of
work
included,
constructing
test
wells
and
the
design
of
the
production.
Well,
the
following
year
in
2013,
the
city
evaluated
six
potential
well
sites
for
the
well
number,
15
replacement
project
and
two
sites
were
selected.
D
Three
four
and
five
without
additional
infrastructure
that
includes
piping
or
pumps
in
october
of
2013
staff,
rep
present
presented
an
update
on
well
15
replacement
project
to
the
city
council,
with
the
recommendation
to
proceed
with
the
design
and
award
of
a
construction
contract
for
the
two
wells,
so
one
at
the
acapella
site
and
the
other
at
the
commodore
park
site.
Here
you
see
in
the
circles
the
first
test
wall
would
be
installed
at
the
acapella
site
and
the
other
at
the
commodore
park
site.
D
D
The
city
council
concurred
with
staff's
recommendation
the
following
year
in
september,
2014
construction
of
the
test
well
at
the
acapella
site,
was
completed.
Drilling
logs
were
analyzed
and
water
quality
sampling
was
performed
at
the
new
test.
Well,
eki
concluded
that
a
production
well
installed
at
the
acapella
site
should
be
capable
of
producing
similar
to
the
production
rate
of
several
other
wells
in
san
bruno.
D
D
So
during
the
conceptual
design
of
the
production,
well,
it
was
determined
that
the
required
building
footprint
for
the
well-head
treatments
facilities
needed
to
be
larger,
to
accommodate
the
filters,
piping
and
electric
electrical
equipment.
So
the
ingredien
ingress
and
egress
for
the
well
site
was
obstructed
by
an
adjacent
vacant,
parcel
that
I've
highlighted
here
in
blue.
D
D
D
So
the
acapella
well
replacement
project
will
be
completed
in
two
phases.
The
first
phase
will
consist
of
designing
and
constructing
a
production.
Well
I
mean
this
includes
drilling
water
quality,
soil
sampling,
wall,
construction
and
well
development
with
an
estimated
completion
of
about
12
months,
and
the
second
phase
will
consist
of
designing
and
constructing
the
well
facilities
that
includes
necessary
housing,
pump,
motor
automatic
control
equipment
such
as
scada
and
discharge
piping
and
disinfection
equipment
with
an
estimated
completion
of
18
months.
D
So
the
scope
of
work
for
the
acapella
well
replacement
project
includes
preparing
bid
documents
and
construction
support
for
phase
1
and
2
also
obtaining
approvals
and
permits
from
regulatory
agencies
and
preparing
required
regulatory
documents.
The
stove,
the
scope
also
includes
decommissioning
of
well
15
in
accordance
with
california's
title
22,
core
code
of
regulations
related
to
drinking
water.
A
A
G
C
There
is
currently
sequa
exemption
for
this
project
because
it
is
replacing
well
15,
but
we
have
been
advised
that
if
we
wait
too
long
to
construct
this
project
and
get
it
underway
that
that's
sql
clearance
could
expire,
and
so
you
know
in
an
effort
to
not
go
through
the
environment
or
you
know,
go
through
the
environmental
process
of
clearing
a
new.
Well,
we
would
like
to
move
forward
with
the
design
as
soon
as
possible.
G
G
You
know
this
design
this
project,
to
get
it
up
to
the
place
where
construction
would
actually
occur,
and
then
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
fund
the
actual
construction
and
they're
kind
of
part
of
the
same
question
is
without
the
three
million
dollars
for
the
construction?
Are
we
going
to
be
in
compliance
with
sequa.
G
E
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
council
member
mason
your
question
begun
with
potentially
holding
off
until
the
next
budget
cycle.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
there's
not
an
appropriation
request
with
the
action
that
is
before
you
tonight.
The
money
for
this
project
was
built
into
the
current
budget,
which
is
typical
for
these
projects,
because
you
sort
of
go
on
the
stair
step
ladder
of
design
and
then
budget
for
for
construction.
E
H
G
C
So
that
is
possible,
but
I
think
currently
we
are
budgeting
to
design
until
we
have
a
better
idea
what
the
construction
costs
would
be,
because
the
first
phase
of
construction
is
production
well
and
there
there
may
potentially
be
some
adequate
funding
in
order
to
award
the
construction
of
the
production.
Well,
but
of
course,
I
think
the
next
phase,
which
is
the
building
and
the
pumps
and
the
electrical
that
will
likely
not
occur
until
the
next
fiscal
year,
and
so
we
would
request
that
appropriate
amount
at
that
time.
B
G
C
So
the
agreement
is
more
in
agreement
with
sfp
you
see
in
new
hampshire.
Excuse
me,
I
don't
know
all
the
details
related
to
this
agreement,
but
my
understanding
is
that
we
have
an
agreement
with
sfpuc
during
the
wet
years
to
not
pump
and
that
they
would
provide
us
with
drinking
water
supply
and
then
during
the
drought
years,
then
we
would
use
the
groundwater
wells
to
supplement,
and
you
know
relieve
a
little
pressure
off
of
sfp.
C
C
I
think
they
would
have
the
security
of
having
a
groundwater
supply
that
not
other
as
city
manager.
Grogan
have
mentioned,
not
other,
not
many.
Other
agencies
are
fortunate
to
own
them,
their
water
enterprise
and
have
the
facilities
to
produce
water
to
meet
the
demands.
So
I
think
that
would
be
the
benefit.
I
can't
say
that
we
did
a
dollar
cost
estimate,
but
I
think
there's
you
know
inherent
value
in
having
that
supply.
I
Medina,
yes,
thank
you
for
the
report
yeah.
This
is
a.
This
is
one
of
those
projects
that
got
kind
of
lost,
but
here
we
are
dealing
with
it
right
and
my
first
question
is
I'm
a
little
surprised
by
the
lack
of
proposals
received,
and
I
don't
believe
this.
This
designer
worked
with
this
before
did
staff
get
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
find
out?
Were
people
too
busy
like
why
why?
Why
did
we
only
get
one
proposal.
C
We
we
wondered
the
same
thing,
and
so
we
contacted
some.
It
was
a
variety
of
responses
at
one
firm
we
worked
with.
Apparently
they
changed
their
processes,
and
so
they
weren't
able
to
they
didn't
I
guess
it
slipped
through
their
craft,
which
is
not
a
great
answer,
and
you
know
I
think
they're
kicking
themselves,
and
I
think
that
is
something
that
we
really
considered.
C
We
really
took
care
in
contacting
the
references
to
see
what
the
references
were
like
because
I
personally
have
not
heard
of
them
either,
but
they
had
very
positive
referrals,
and
so
I
mean
we
posted
it
on
our
website,
as
well
as
emailed
out
to
12
different
firms,
and
you
know,
we've
got
a
response
back
from
a
firm
that
we
had
to
work
with
previously.
That
was
not
one
of
the
12
that
we
had
emailed,
and
so
they
had
taken
the
initiative.
C
I
I
I
So
we
we
need
to
make
sure
and
as
as
a
beloved
chris
palace
would
say,
you
know
water
is
life,
and-
and-
and
here
we
are
in
a
drought
here
and
we're
trying
to
work
out
that
we
we
do
have
an
agreement
to
deal
with
that
a
little
bit.
So
the
question
for
the
well
abandonment
is
that
costs
covered
in
in
in
this
part
of
the
project
or
that's
that's
a
a
separate
cost
for
abandoning
abandoning
the
current
well.
C
I
I
So
I
I
think,
I'm
I'm
I'm
guessing
and
giving
staff
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
This
is
some.
This
is
one
of
the
projects
that
kind
of
got
lost
and
there
is
no
money
budgeted
for
years.
2021,
20,
21
22
through
24
25.,
so
that
additional
3
million
to
build
the
well
isn't
anywhere,
and
but
this
is
the
reality
we're
facing
that
in
order
to
build
this
well
in
the
facilities,
we're
going
to
need
to
spend
that
money.
C
I
E
E
In
addition,
with
regard
to
the
cip
form
that
you're
looking
at
what
I,
which
I
believe
is
in
our
adopted
2021
budget,
what
you're
seeing
is
that
the
projected
costs
and
the
out
years
are
not
there.
That
does
not
mean
that
the
city
does
not
have
efficient
funds
within
the
fund
balance
to
cover
this
project
in
other
projects.
E
It
is
true
that
the
city
did
cancel
the
fifth
five
percent
rate
increase,
because
there
are
sufficient
funds
in
the
water
fund.
I
just
had
to
ask
staff
to
confirm
for
me
the
balance
in
the
water
fund,
but
I
believe
it's
over
10
million
dollars,
and
so,
while
the
infrastructure
that
we
have
to
do
is
significant
and
they're
when
and
that's
that,
10
million
is
actually
in
the
the
the
operating
portion.
There's.
F
E
But
I
just
want
to
caution
council.
Be
that
because
there
were
not
funds
shown
in
those
out
years,
you
should
not
conclude
that
the
city
does
not
have
sufficient
funds
to
move
forward
with
this
project,
and
it
will
have
larger
conversations
about
the
water
fund
through
our
our
capital
budgeting
process.
I
H
So
I
just
wanted
to
share,
as
you
all
know,
I'm
our.
I
am
the
city's
representative
on
the
bauska
board
bay
area,
water
supply
and
conservation
agency,
which
manages
our
relationship
with
the
sfpc
to
ensure
we
have
a
voice
in
in
the
the
agreements
to
get
water
from
hetch
hetchy.
The
you
know.
We
heard
we
heard
as
part
of
the
staff
report
that
you
know
how
how
things
operate.
You
know
when
we're
in
wet
years.
H
H
One
question
that
I
have
is
once
we
once
we
have
the
design.
Would
we
would
that
put
us
in
a
position
to
apply
for
for
state
or
federal
grants
to
help
with
the
construction?
Are
there
any?
Are
there
any
opportunities
that
we're
looking
at
out
there?
That
might
be
available
to
us
to
help
us
with
those
construction
costs,
considering
it
would
be
a
water
infrastructure
project.
C
Certainly
opportunities
as
they
present
themselves,
we
will
look
at
those
and
you
know
we
can
keep
an
eye
out
for
those
even
during
design.
I
don't
think
we
necessarily
need
to
wait
until
design
is
over.
It's
a
state
or
a
region
where
to
provide
funding.
We
certainly
look
into
that
and
apply
as
appropriate.
A
We
were
required
to
balance
with
the
aquifer
that
we
didn't
take
too
much,
but
but
needless
to
say,
yes,
that
was
one
of
his
passions,
so
these
are
important
things
that
we
need
to
keep
up
and
take
care
of,
and
so
yes,
I
as
well
immense
support
and
appreciate
my
colleagues,
questions
and
engagement
in
this,
and
it
is
by
action
of
a
resolution.
Is
there
any
action
by
council
move
to
approve?
