ELDEN PS REDUNDANT FORCEMAIN SCOPE OF WORK
INTRODUCTION
The District will work with a qualified professional engineering consulting firm (Consultant) to
prepare the technical studies and reviews, preliminary design report, preliminary design,
design, project plans, specifications, and bidding documents, among other activities or work
items, required to obtain construction bids for installing a redundant Elden pump Station (PS)
forcemain (FM) system. The project comprises the following general work items:
1. Modify the Pump Station Discharge piping to accommodate a redundant FM system
with isolation valves. The PS must be able to:
a. Pump to either forcemain; or
b. Pump 1 to forcemain 1 and pump 2 to forcemain 2.
c. Isolate either FM for maintenance or assessments, while maintaining the
other FM in service.
2. A new FM pipeline from, with connection to, the PS to the FM valve complex located
south of Mesa drive on the westerly side the SR-55 freeway; and
3. Rehabilitating or replacing an existing out-of-service Techite forcemain that that
runs from the valve complex on the westerly side of the SR-55 to the discharge point
located at Fair drive and the OC Fairgrounds entrance; and
4. Replacing the existing valve complex and/or reconfiguring the valve complex to
accommodate the new FM and provide for a cross-over from one FM to the other.
The valve complex work will provide pipeline access points/manways that will
facilitate draining/cleaning any portion of the reconfigured FM system, conducting
condition assessments, and making future repairs or refurbishments while keeping
at least once FM in-service.
5. Reconfigure or replace the receiving/downstream Manhole with capability to isolate
section of the FM from backwater. In addition, the FM discharge piping must provide
a piping configuration or system that maintains a full-pipe when the pump station
turns off during low flow or low water level at the pump station.
The District may bid construction work for Items 2 and 3, above, separately or together. The
preliminary design report should review these two construction bidding options as the District
is considering rehabilitating the existing Techite forcemain via a trenchless method, pipe-
bursting, or other method that reduces impacts to the local community and traffic. A large
consideration for bidding the construction work is the City construction moratorium during the
annual county fair. Work Item #4 will be constructed with Work Item #2 and Work Item # 5 will
be bid with Work Item #3, should the District bid construction in two phases or bids.
The proposed alignment for the new FM pipeline will proceed about 600 feet northwesterly
from the Elden PS along Mesa drive, then about 1,125 feet northeasterly along northbound
2 | P a g e
SOW Figure 1
Alignment Map
3 | P a g e
Newport Blvd, then westerly about 365 feet under the SR-55 freeway to the southbound
Newport Blvd, then southerly about 1,100 to 1,200 feet along Newport Blvd to the existing
valve complex located south of Mesa drive, see Figure 1, Alignment Map. From the valve
complex, the existing Techite pipeline continues about 1,090 feet southerly along southbound
Newport Blvd, then about 1,150 feet westerly along Fair drive to the discharge manhole located
at the main fairgrounds entrance. The consultant must verify and determine the final
alignment, distances, and details as part of this project work.
The District’s concern is that a damaged or an out-of-service forcemain will leave the District
vulnerable to a sanitary sewer overflow during an extended outage. As a result, the District is
interested in determining the options, feasibility, and cost associated with installing a
redundant forcemain. Other concern or considerations include:
A. Forcemain damage caused by a major earthquake,
B. Caltrans bridge suffers sever damage and/or collapses,
C. Lack of redundancy for performing routine maintenance, periodic condition
assessment, and conducting future refurbishment and/or replacement,
D. Lack of redundancy to handle outages cause by line-breaks, corrosion damage,
or outside construction impacts (impacts from non-District projects),
E. Ensuring the readiness for the forcemain to convey sewage and protect public
health.
F. Adding resiliency associated with a forcemain built to the latest earthquake and
design standards.
BACKGROUND
The Costa Mesa Sanitary District (CMSD) is an independent special district that was formed in
1944 under the Sanitary District Act of 1923. It is governed by an elected five-member Board of
Directors that appoints a general manager to supervise the day-to-day operations of the
organization. The District boundaries encompass all of the City of Costa Mesa, portions of
Newport Beach, and unincorporated Orange County; serving a population of approximately
116,700 and serving close to 4,000 businesses.
Wastewater is conveyed to an OC Sanitation treatment plant located in either Huntington
Beach or the Fountain Valley via the 224 miles District collection system and 20 lift stations.
CMSD total daily dry weather flow is approximately 10.1 million gallons per day.
The District’s Elden PS is located at 146 Mesa drive in Costa Mesa, CA. The PS is currently served
by one 18-inch forcemain that runs northerly along Mesa drive, through the SR-55 Mesa Drive
Caltrans overcrossing bridge, to southbound Newport boulevard, then southerly along Newport
boulevard to Fair drive, then westerly along the northerly Fair drive sidewalk to the discharge
manhole located east of the main OC Fairgrounds gate.
4 | P a g e
The Elden pump station comprises two submersible pumps, each with a 3,750 GPM flow rate.
Unless the alarm high-water level is reached, typically one pump operates. Typical dry weather
inflow ranges between 2,500 and 600 GPM.
Elden Forcemain System Goals
1. Connect the redundant forcemain system to the PS;
2. Replace the valve complex and/or reconfigure the complex to accommodate cross-over
of flows, to facilitate maintenance, and drain any section of the forcemain system;
3. Refurbish the existing Techite forcemain; and
4. Replace the downstream manhole and install a pipe configuration or other option for
maintaining a full-forcemain when the PS stops on a low sewage level.
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK (SOW)
The Consultant shall provide survey work, studies, and memorandum, a
preliminary design report, design services, constructability and maintainability
review, resiliency technical memorandum, various project meetings and/or
workshops, develop project plans, specification, and bidding documents, among
other deliverables, for the proposed project.
Provide the following:
1. Provide aerial survey, field survey work, and base map required to prepare the
project plans. Consider alternative alignments so that survey work will provide
coverage for any option under consideration. See Survey Detail Requirements,
Exhibit B2, for additional information and scope items. The limits of survey work
will include, at minimum:
a. State Route 55 between the National Guard armory and 300 feet southwest
of Fair Drive.
b. Mesa drive between 100 feet southeasterly of the PS to the Fairgrounds
property line;
c. Northbound Newport Blvd between 300 feet southwesterly of Mesa drive to
2,000 feet northeasterly of Mesa drive;
d. Southbound Newport Blvd between 600 feet northeast of Arlington Drive
and 300 feet southwest of Fair drive;
e. Fair Drive between northbound Newport Blvd and the bus turnout located
about 250 feet west of the main Fairgrounds entrance;
5 | P a g e
f. Pump Station: The District will open the station wet well and two valve
vault(s). The surveyor shall determine vertical and horizontal locations of the
vaults, valves, and top of inlet and outlet piping. The surveyor shall also “dip”
the wet well to determine the wet well bottom/floor elevation. The PS
structure (corners), manholes, vault (corners), and electrical/control panel
location(s), that are visible from ground level, must also be surveyed.
The aerial photo, field survey, and topographical work detail must be
sufficient such that the Consultant will be able to determine and design the
project alignment and prepare the project plans. Property lines, right-or-way
boundaries, street and freeway centerlines must be included in the base map
coordinated by the survey work.
Note: Prior to conducting the survey work, the Consultant will walk the site
and confirm survey limits and requirements.
2. Hydraulic analysis and calculations with technical memorandum for the existing
PS and future state project. The Consultant shall review the pump station
hydraulic conditions including determination of the pump and systems curves for
the existing condition and future condition. The analysis must include the
minimum cases:
a. Single pump operation through the existing FM.
b. Dual pump operation through the existing FM.
c. For the new configuration:
i. Single and dual pump operation through new FM #1
ii. Single and dual pump operation through new FM #2
The technical memorandum must include a written report with description of
the existing hydraulic condition, proposed hydraulic condition, summary of the
study finding and recommendations, and system/pump curves for each
situation.
The Consultant shall take pressure and flow measurements of the existing
hydraulic condition/operations to confirm the actual system and pump curves
for the existing station/configuration. The measured information and calculated
head loss and flows will be used to estimate the new pumping condition for the
redundant FM system.
6 | P a g e
The District does not have a flow measurement nor a pressure gauge on the
existing station. The Consultant must procure flow and pressure measuring
services required to measure the existing flow and pipe loss conditions.
3. Resiliency Technical Memorandum. Prepare a memorandum discussing pipeline
resiliency and methods to eliminate or limit damage to the FM system. Discuss
the following:
a. Resiliency measures, requirements, and alternative for the current FM
project, including new FM and rehabilitation or replacement of the existing
Techite pipe and related appurtenance.
b. Resiliency measures, requirements, and alternatives for the existing FM.
c. Discuss earthquake systems and improvements to mitigate or reduce
pipeline damage from earthquakes. Discuss faults of concern and associated
items to consider for each fault.
4. FM Preliminary Design Report (Report) that considers the proposed work,
options/alternatives for the new forcemain system, trenchless options for
rejuvenating/replacing the Techite Pipe, material selections, construction
methods, how the project or projects should be bid, sustainability, resiliency to
earthquakes, severe weather, or other impacts such as damage by contractors
performing other underground work. Provide a Class 4 Construction estimate as
defined by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE)
International with the Report. Review alignment, pipeline material selections,
construction method options, resiliency, and sustainability as part of this work
item.
5. Conduct a FM site visit and walk of the possible alignment sites. The District
Engineer will participate in this activity and the consultant must schedule around
the District Engineer’s availability. If required, the District will provide limited
traffic control for the job site walk. If the consultant requires traffic control, a
request to the District Engineer with specific requirement must be made three
weeks in advance of the job walk. It is anticipated that the job walk will be
limited to walking the alignment via the public walk and/or shoulder area. Class2
or Class 3 reflective vests must be worn during the job walk.
6. Lead one (1) 2-hour in-person kick-off and visioning workshop with District staff
to confirm the alignment, discuss possible material selections, construction
methods, construction phasing, project schedule, project needs and
7 | P a g e
considerations. Review items learned from the job site walk, utility search, and
review of project information.
The consultant must complete Item 2 (site visit) and walk the alignment, prior to the
kick-off meeting. In addition, the Consultant must have reviewed the District’s sewer
system downstream of the Elden pump station to the point of discharge at the OC
Sanitation District regional trunkline and well as have reviewed the Elden PS, Valves,
and appurtenances. The consultant must be prepared to lead a conversation to
describe items for District consideration. If the consultant believes there may be a
better option, the consultant is encouraged to describe it during this kick-off
meeting and outline advantages or disadvantages. The District is not obligated to
proceed with a consultant-proposed alternative.
7. Obtain and review:
i. Caltrans SR-55 Bridge Record Drawings for Fair Drive and Mesa Drive;
Caltrans SR-55 Mainline Freeway Plans from south of Fair Drive to Bristol
Street;
ii. Caltrans/City Plans for Newport boulevard from south of Fair Drive to
Bristol Street.
iii. City Street Plans for Fair Drive (Fairview Road to northbound Newport
Blvd), Arlington Drive (Fairview Road to Newport Blvd), and Mesa drive
from the PS to southbound Newport Blvd.
iv. Utility drawings (gas, electric, water, storm drain, cable company, among

8. Conduct, gather, and/or confirm background, technical information, record
drawings, Caltrans and City Street plans, utility(ies), utility plans.
Note: Gathered information, City and Caltrans record drawings, utility drawings,
and other information contributing to the Report must be turned over to the
District with submission of the final Report. The utility search will be used to
understand if there are utilities that may preclude the proposed forcemain
routing or that may cause alignment problems and to provide for an improved
project estimate. Potholing and detailed locating of utilities is not required for
the preliminary design report. The consultant should be prepared to make
recommendation on whether the District should pothole any utilities. It will be
the District’s responsibility to contract and undertake any potholing.

D. Experience, Organization, and Team
Experience
Kleinfelder began providing pipeline engineering design services 50 years ago. To date, Kleinfelder has completed thousands of pipeline projects from capital improvement planning, studies, and alignment evaluations, through pipeline design and construction. Kleinfelder’s 500 staff professionals provide water, wastewater, and recycled water design
services for over 200 clients worldwide. Kleinfelder has developed a proven track record of delivering high-quality pipeline projects, on time and under budget as exemplified by our 2020 ACEC Award Winning Naval Base Coronado Coastal Campus (NBCCC) Sewer Forcemain Project (see the project description in E. References).
The breadth of our pipeline design knowledge accompanied by Kleinfelder’s range of services offers the District a team with the qualifications to integrate fiscal outlook, constructability, and maintainability considerations into our fast-track pipeline design solutions. Our team will work closely with the District staff using the District’s Standard Plans and Specifications as well as the design guidelines, as well as conform to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook) to produce the project construction documents. The District can be assured that this project will be designed efficiently with the District, the public, safety, and constructability in mind.
Kleinfelder understands that the key to successful pipeline projects is in the details. Coordinating pipeline crossings to avoid utility conflicts, traffic impacts, existing and future rights-of-way, existing utility location and protection, and resident impacts all have the potential to significantly delay a project. Kleinfelder’s experience in a wide variety of pipeline design solutions, including trenchless technology, allows us to work with the District to identify potential issues in the early stages of design and mitigate potential risks that may arise during construction. A full-service firm,
Kleinfelder is comprised of leading geotechnical, trenchless design, tunneling, and environmental compliance experts.
Kleinfelder is a leading expert on trenchless design – we have provided both cost and schedule savings to many clients over the years using this specialized method. Kleinfelder’s in house trenchless pipeline rehabilitation team will
provide the District access to the full suite of the latest pipeline rehabilitation design solutions. Kleinfelder recently provided a unique cured in place pipeline (CIPP) design for Irvine Ranch Water District. By extending curing times, and optimizing the liner thickness, Kleinfelder was able to install 3,000 LF of rehabilitated pipeline through forcemain bends, eliminating the impact for expensive open cut trenching across the busy Michelson Drive. In addition to pipeline rehabilitation, Kleinfelder routinely conducts hydraulic analysis, pump performance testing, pump efficiency analysis,

The City of Coronado needed three miles of 8-inch diameter forcemain and modifications to two wastewater pump stations to convey sewage from the new $1 billion Naval Base Coronado Coastal Campus (NBCCC) to the City of Coronado collection system. This pipeline was to be constructed in an environmentally sensitive area, cross State Route 75, and be completed in a very condensed timeframe with multiple sensitive stakeholders.
As the lead designer, Kleinfelder provided pipeline design,
geotechnical engineering, tunnel design, environmental permitting, materials testing, and construction management services for this accelerated wastewater forcemain installation project, including modifications to two pump stations. The project received
an ACEC California Engineering Excellence Award and various other awards.
The NBCCC is adjacent to two state parks, the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay, wildlife, and wetland protected areas. Kleinfelder worked closely with numerous regulatory
agencies, including the City of Coronado, the U.S. Naval Base, Coronado Public Works Department, Caltrans, State Parks, local residents, and the California Coastal Commission. The proximity to sensitive areas made the selection of pipeline alignment a crucial part of the design process. The entire project was designed, approved, and constructed within an 18-month timeframe to meet the required schedule for the City and Navy.

Kleinfelder recently completed the design and is now supporting the construction of the removal and replacement of the last remaining aging cast iron water mains within the City of San Diego as part of an as-needed contract. These pipelines ranged in size from 8-inch to 16-
inch and were in challenging locations to replace, were hard to access, needed significant traffic control, and required multi-jurisdictional coordination. Kleinfelder gained preliminary approvals from the jurisdictional agencies to facilitate the approval process. Design included pipes that were located within five California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) bridges, one trenchless freeway crossing, two trolley crossings, and two City bridges. The two trolley crossings and the freeway crossing will use jack and bore methods. The project included
geotechnical investigations, recommendations for a tunnel design, a study for the Caltrans bridge crossings, a preliminary design report, development of plans, specifications, and an engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost.
Our team worked with Caltrans, Metropolitan Transit System, North County Transit District, as well as numerous other jurisdictional entities to facilitate the permit approvals. In some cases, compromises were worked out between the jurisdictional entities. Kleinfelder provided an accelerated schedule and separate bid documents for a site which became an emergency project due to a break in the existing pipe and required repair immediately; a full set of bid documents were prepared allowing it to go to bid well before the remaining sites were bid.

F. Project Overview and Approach
Overview
Kleinfelder understands that the main goal of this project is to provide resiliency and redundancy to the District’s sewer
system. The District is concerned about the impacts of a major seismic event on the operation of the system and would like to install a new redundant forcemain from the Elden Pump Station to a new discharge manhole located near the entrance to the Fairgrounds. In addition to a new main, the District would like to either rehab or replace the existing, currently abandoned Techite pipeline. A new discharge manhole will accommodate both the new forcemain and either the rehabbed Techite pipeline or a new pipeline in a manner that ensures the upstream pipe is submerged when the pump station is not running. A new valve complex will replace the existing frozen valves and will allow for flows to cross over from the new proposed forcemain to the rehabbed Techite or replacement forcemain. The new forcemain will be valved so that flows from the pump station may flow into either of the new forcemains or both, with access to allow for access into the forcemains for inspection and maintenance.
Kleinfelder understands that the Elden Forcemain is one of the main backbone transmission lines for the Costa Mesa Sanitary system and that having the line out of service would have major impacts to the system and customers and is
costly and inconvenient. This project will provide the District with system redundancy and allow the District to take portions of the system off line for maintenance and repair. Because the project includes evaluation of the existing pump station as well as condition assessment of the abandoned Techite pipe, the design will be dependent on the
outcome of these and other investigations. Kleinfelder is prepared to work with the District to enhance the scope and
MW232236.001P Page | 12
Elden Redundant Forcemain Design Costa Mesa Sanitary District
fee, as well as prepare some potential contingencies within the scope to allow for alternative design concepts. For example, at this point we believe that it will be more cost effective to abandon the Techite pipe and install a new PVC
forcemain in the same trench as the proposed line. The impact to the community is marginally increased, the cost for an additional pipeline within the same trench is nominal, and operation and maintenance is streamlined. In addition, we believe that placing the new valve structure near the pump station allows for more control over a larger portion of the system and removes a large structure from the middle of a busy intersection. Access at the mid-point can still be provided to allow for operation and maintenance activities. Our proposal makes these design assumptions but realize these conclusions will require verification during the pre-design phase and concurrence by the District prior to moving
into the design phase. The recommendations from the pump station Technical Memorandums (TM) could also have an effect on pipe sizing. Our intention here in this proposal is to present our opinion as to the final scope and fee but we realize that flexibility and a willingness to negotiate is key.
Technical Approach
THE INITIAL PHASE of the project will include a kickoff/visioning meeting, utility research, survey, and mapping. This phase will also include a site walk and evaluation of the existing pump station. Once the information has been gathered
and evaluated, we will initiate the Preliminary Design Phase where options for the various TM will be laid out. We anticipate producing three TMs that will include the following:
TM No. 1: Resiliency
• Options and alternatives to strengthen the existing and proposed sewer system to seismic vulnerabilities
TM No. 2: Hydraulic Analysis of the Existing Elden Pump Station
• Existing Hydraulic Conditions- determination of pump and system curves
• Proposed Hydraulic Conditions
• Discussion of the valve complex, configuration
• Summary of Findings and Recommendations
TM No. 3: Alignment Alternatives
• Trenchless crossing of SR 55
• Potential utility conflicts, Permitting, Pipe Material
• Replacement of Techite pipe and no-dig alternatives
• Downstream manhole replacement
• Construction challenges
• Scheduling/phasing/bid packaging alternatives
• OPCC
The TMs will be combined into a Preliminary Design Report that will present a preferred alternative that will be required to be approved by the District prior to proceeding with the design of the project.
THE DESIGN PHASE will include milestone deliverables at the 45%, 60%, 80%, 95% and final. All milestone deliverables are reviewed for adherence to our own internal plan check process to ensure that all requirements are met. Each design phase will have minimum requirements that will be coordinated, reviewed and accepted.
We will also have several focused meetings and workshops at the various design submittal milestones to ensure that everyone agrees with the direction the project is going. A five-hour workshop focused on constructability and maintainability will be conducted with District staff between the 80- 90% design level. We will bring in three
professionals with expertise in various areas, currently anticipated to be constructability/CM, tunneling/trenchless, and pipelines, to collaborate with District staff to ensure that the project is constructable and easy to maintain. Although these experts are subject to change based on District preferences, we are currently anticipating bringing in Pete
Daniels who has over 21 years of experience in engineering and design. He is the resident Subject Matter Expert for trenchless crossings, including horizontal directional drills, uprates, pipeline routing and construction methods. We also have a very large Construction Management division within Kleinfelder and Greg Gomez, PE brings 19 years of
experience in construction management and engineering. We will also invite Greg Gould from Carollo to act as the pipeline design expert. Greg Gould has over 27 years of experience specializing in infrastructure projects with experience covering a wide range of water, wastewater and storm drain infrastructure. He has designed pipelines ranging from small collector sewers and water distribution lines to major pipelines up to 134 inches in diameter. He is also a certified NASSCO PACP/ MACP Trainer.

Elden Redundant Forcemain Design Costa Mesa Sanitary District
TM APPROACH
As described above, we anticipate producing three TMs and collaborating with the District through workshops to ensure that the District is clear on project direction prior to moving forward with the design.
TM No. 1 Resiliency: Kleinfelder will focus on evaluating various pipe materials, connections, and valving that are available for use in case of an earthquake to help mitigate or eliminate spills. We will review standard protocols for
system redundancies for similar agencies and districts and present the latest earthquake design standards and options for the proposed system. If desired by the District we could provide an evaluation of the existing Mesa Drive bridge to determine the maximum anticipated movement of the bridge during an earthquake.
Modern bridge structures are designed to move relative to the adjacent ground during a major seismic event and detailed to suffer some damage within certain bridge elements but to not collapse. The typical seismic event used in design has a recurrence period of 1,000 years. The pipelines supported within the bridge will move along with the
bridge and at the points where the pipelines go into the ground, some accommodation for this movement is needed.
Caltrans preference for accommodating this movement is for flexible joints to be placed within the bridge as close to the abutment as possible and provide access and provisions in case of a pipe rupture so that the bridge does not fill with water. These requirements are stated within the Caltrans document, Transportation, Architectural, Electrical, Mechanical, Water & Wastewater (TAEMW&W) Memo 16-1. The seismic movement expected of the bridge determines the required movement range that the pipe will need to sustain prior to being damaged or being pinched
or crushed by the bridge structure.
While Caltrans preference is to place flexible joints to accommodate the seismic movement within the bridge they do allow for the joints to be placed outside of the bridge within vaults in situations where space within the bridge is not sufficient for placement of the pipe system. Careful consideration of operations and maintenance issues as well as constructability issues with large valves that can accommodate large movements must be taken. Because the Mesa
Drive bridge is a newer, 2 span bridge, lateral transverse movement of less than 2” is anticipated and a Flex-Tend or similar, very expensive, large movement valve is likely not required at this bridge. We recently completed a very similar evaluation for Eastern Municipal Water District for their Bradley Street Bridge improvements.
Kelly Burnell is a local bridge engineer who has performed numerous evaluations to determine the anticipated movement of a bridge and to retrofit pipelines to meet Caltrans current standards, including installing and accommodating a casing within their bridges. We have worked with Caltrans on many pipeline retrofits within bridges and know the requirements and preferences to facilitate approvals. Retrofitting the existing pipeline within the bridge may be an expedited method to strengthen this portion of the system, to increase its resiliency, until the entire project can be funded. We have included the evaluation of the existing Mesa Drive Bridge as an optional Task 7.
TM No. 2: Hydraulic Analysis of the Existing Elden Pump Station:
Kleinfelder will work with the District to identify the normal operating conditions of the Elden Pump Station with respect
to existing flow rates and wet well levels, and determine if the existing pumps are suitable for the hydraulics of the
various conditions of the proposed forcemains. If the existing pumps are not suitable, Kleinfelder will make a pump
recommendation for replacement pumps or recommend upgrades to the existing pumps (if feasible).
Kleinfelder will perform a desktop performance evaluation of the existing pumps with respect to ANSI/HI 9.6.3
standards under the following conditions:
1) One and two pumps through the existing FM (baseline)
2) One and two pumps through new FM #1
3) One and two pumps through new FM #2
MW232236.001P Page | 14
Elden Redundant Forcemain Design Costa Mesa Sanitary District
Prior to performing desktop hydraulic evaluations,
Kleinfelder will conduct a test of the existing pumps to
determine the performance of the existing pumps and to
better understand the head losses of the existing
forcemain. The data collected during testing will be used
to calibrate the hydraulic calculations for the new
forcemain system.
The following test will be performed: Each pump will be operated with a closed and fully open isolation valve, and at 3 other intermediate positions. At each valve
position, the level in the wet well will be recorded and the pressure will be measured near the pump station. A convenient location to take pressure measurements is
at the 6-inch bypass connection located just west of the Junction Vault. A temporary pressure gauge assembly will be installed as shown in detail in the figure below. The collected information will be used to plot a performance curve of the existing pumps. These curves will be compared
to the original pump test curves (if available), or the manufacturer’s curve to compare the pumps’ current performance versus when the pumps were newly installed. This information can also be used to determine the headloss of the existing forcemain. If possible, the pressure will also be measured at a couple of other points along the forcemain alignment. Temporary pressure gauges can be installed at bypass connections or air-release valve assemblies. This additional info would further refine our understanding of the head loss through the existing pipe.
Note: it is assumed that the District will procure the necessary materials, equipment, and labor to measure pressure and flow. Kleinfelder will provide the required details and list of required materials. Each pressure gauge assembly will cost
approximately $1,000. A minimum of one assembly will be required. Two additional assemblies would be preferred but are not critical. The cost for renting a clamp-on dopler flow meter
is approximately $400. It may be necessary to discharge wastewater into a gravity sewer during pressure testing activities. It is assumed that the District will provide traffic
control to access any facilities within the roadway.
Once the evaluation is complete this information can be used to make decisions on improvements to the pump station.
New Valve Complex Configuration Options at Pump Station: Once the installation of the new forcemain is complete, the District will have two alternate forcemains for transferring flow from the Elden Pump Station. The District has expressed a desire to have the ability to switch between the two forcemains, allowing for one to be taken out of service when required, such as during maintenance or emergency conditions.
This can be accomplished with new valving and piping at the existing Elden Pump Station. There are several ways to accomplish this scenario, two of which are shown in the graphic below. Using the new valves, the District will be able to use four new valves to allow for the following flow control patterns:
• Pump 1 to FM 1, Pump 2 to FM 2
• Pump 1 to FM 2, Pump 2 to FM 1
• Pump 1 & 2 to FM 1 (FM 2 offline)
• Pump 1 & 2 to FM 2 (FM 1 offline)
Having this valving at the lift station provides a centralized location for the valves to be managed and operated. There is no need to install a large vault structure on the west side of the freeway, as the entire forcemain from the lift station to the connection point can be taken offline for maintenance. If the District wishes to access the forcemain an access
manhole could be installed along each of the forcemains at the midpoint.

Valving Downstream of Ex Backup Pump and Vault: The first alternative is locating a new valve vault structure downstream of the existing pumping station equipment (shown in red). This is a good alternative that allows for almost all construction to be done while the existing pumpstation and forcemain operate normally. A new forcemain would be installed from the vault to the new connection point on the west side of the freeway, and the new valve vault would include the valving on the new and existing forcemain to isolate the system as
indicated. Note that this option does not allow for P1 to FM1 and P2 to FM2. This option will also only yield a dual forcemain from the new vault west to the connection point.
Repurposing the Existing Valve Vault: Another option is to repurpose the existing valve vault to service the new pump station setup (shown in green). Under this option, new piping can be installed all the way back to the existing station, allowing for a longer length dual forcemain. This option will also allow for all alternatives shown in the valving schematic, including the operation of P1 to FM1 and P2 to FM2.
Discharge Connection to Existing Sewer: For the new connection to the existing sewer system NW of the freeway, our approach is to limit the interactions and connections to the existing system. This will allow for the existing system to function in its current capacity while improvements are constructed, reducing the need for bypass of the sewer system. Connection to the existing system will occur over a short “cutover window” as discussed above.
MW232236.001P Page | 16
Elden Redundant Forcemain Design Costa Mesa Sanitary District
TM No. 3: Alignment Alternatives: We will evaluate various alignments options, material type, replacement options for the Techite pipe, valving, the downstream manhole replacement, trenchless concerns, permitting,
contracts, timing, funding and other issues.
The configuration of the new discharge structure will be designed to allow the forcemain to partially drain during
pump station shutdown. This allows wastewater to drain and debris stay in the pipe allowing for accelerated corrosion and debris buildup. To connect the existing
sewer system, the best approach is a new manhole structure adjacent to the identified connection point. This will allow for construction of the new manhole and dual forcemain up to the new structure with no interruption to existing sewer flows. In addition, the new structure can be
connected to the existing manhole via gravity, only requiring one new connection to the existing structure allowing a reduction in the required bypass for the conversion.
At the new structure, both forcemains will be installed with an “s curve alignment”, constructed with two 45-degree bends in succession prior to discharge into the structure. This configuration will ensure that the pipe(s) remain full as they enter the manhole and prevent O&M and corrosion issues seen on the existing setup.
Once the new structure has been constructed, a short piece of gravity pipeline will connect the new structure, and new
forcemain system, to the existing system. This will be done over a short cutover period, where an inflatable plug will
be installed within the existing gravity pipeline, and the new connection will be made to the existing system. Once the
connection is made, the inflatable plugs can be removed, and the new forcemains will be operational and ready for
flow.

Rehabilitation/Replacement of Techite Forcemain: Without condition data on the existing Techite Forcemain we can only make assumptions to viable rehabilitation methods and the likelihood these methods will provide the required
repairs to extend the life of this pipeline. Given the historical data on Techite pipe, it is expected that this pipeline may be experiencing severe corrosion and in need of imminent repair. In order to maximize the existing capacity of the forcemain, CIPP pressure lining is the preferred alternative for the rehabilitation. Pressure rehabilitation for this host pipe material is expected to include a reinforced liner, epoxy resin and water cure. Epoxy and water cure are used for lining Techite pipe because Techite acts like a heat sink during the cure process and due to deformities in the host pipe could cause defects in the curing of the liner. This can lead to a poor liner strength and potential failure to support
the internal pressure of the forcemain.
Pipe bursting is also a potentially viable method for rehabilitating this pipe but is dependent on field conditions, type of bedding, proximity to adjacent utilities, depth of bury and other considerations. Pipe bursting could potentially have
less impacts to the community, but the set up and need to expose the existing pipe in several locations, the cost of the pits and the traffic control set ups required could actually increase the impacts to the community. In addition, it is likely to be most cost competitive to install a parallel forcemain in the same trench as the new pipe. This would allow for a completely new forcemain system with new valves to provide the maximum redundancy of the system. There would be no additional impacts to the community since the trench would only be open slightly longer to install two pipes in the trench than one.
The trenchless crossing of State Route 55 (SR 55) will take careful
planning and consideration of many variables. Kleinfelder has the in-
house resources under one roof of geotechnical engineers,
environmental specialists, tunneling engineers, and construction
management personnel to assist with determining practical and the
easiest to build alternatives. Our team will also work together to
coordinate with and expedite the permitting process. We will weigh
the pros and cons of various alignments and tunneling methods and
determine what the ramifications are for the options and suggest
appropriate tunneling options for the field conditions.
The subsurface conditions beneath the proposed trenchless crossing
are anticipated to consist of Quaternary age marine and alluvial
terrace deposits (Qvom). At the site, the Qvom is predominately
consolidated clay and silt. The historical high for groundwater is reported to be 30 feet, however, due to sediment
consolidation and the lack of sandy deposits, the site and mesa are not within a liquefaction zone. Two underground
storage tank (UST) cleanup sites reported no groundwater in their borings to depths of 70 feet (in 2003) near to Fair
Drive/SR-55, and 90 feet (in 2005) at the Costa Mesa Police Department (on Fair Drive) near the western end of the
anticipated crossing. The jack and bore location is near the Santa Ana Country Club golf course where the underlying
Qvom is mapped more silty than clay. The golf course’s irrigation could artificially provide water to the subsurface. It
is therefore possible localized perched water could exist at the jack and bore location, but overall groundwater is not
expected to be an issue. Accordingly, it is important to drill sufficient borings to develop a geologic cross section that
provides adequate data for design and construction and reduces potential for construction claims.
Caltrans will require a casing for the carrier pipe. The jack and bore method of trenchless construction is anticipated
to be used; however, if groundwater is encountered, it would require evaluation, and micro-tunneling could be required.
The launch shaft is anticipated to be located on the northwest side of SR 55 near the intersection of Arlington Drive
and Newport Blvd. This will be a tight spot and will require permission and coordination with the City; however, there
is less room on the south side of the freeway, as most of the “open space” is within Caltrans right of way and would
not be easily available for our use. Consequently, we anticipate that the south side of SR 55 will be the locations for
the receiving shaft which has a smaller footprint. Bringing the launch shaft as close to the Caltrans right-of-way to at-
grade as possible will reduce the depth of the shaft and the length of the tunneling operation. Caltrans requires
crossings of the freeway to be perpendicular to or as close to 90 degrees as possible.
Although Geotechnical Services have not been included in this scope of work, we will work with the District to
determine the recommended number of borings and locations prior to finalizing the design. It is our recommendation
MW232236.001P Page | 18
Elden Redundant Forcemain Design Costa Mesa Sanitary District
that borings are evaluated at the tunnel shafts at the very least and locations where large concrete structures will be placed.
TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY. Kleinfelder has extensive local knowledge of geologic formations and conditions that affect selection of trenchless construction methods. Exploration methods provided by Kleinfelder can include geotechnical borings, cone penetration test soundings, test pits, and surface and down-hole geophysical surveys, leading to trenchless method feasibility studies. Whether investigating, designing, or leading, Kleinfelder delivers.
Kleinfelder minimizes the need for change orders and typical causes of trenchless application failure by including
subsurface condition analysis and the critical construction parameters to monitor in the design. This holistic approach to the environmental permitting, geotechnical analysis, trenchless design, and construction observation significantly improves the probability of success for each project.
As an example of Kleinfelder’s success, the firm was awarded the Trenchless Technology 2020 Project of the Year Honorable Mention for a 70-inch steel case pipe through difficult ground conditions, below and adjacent to major structures, and only 39 feet above sea level. We know how to handle difficult construction. Kleinfelder stands at the
forefront of pipeline design using these trenchless technologies to benefit clients:
• Pipe jacking
• Guided and pilot tube auger boring
• Horizontal directional drilling
• Auger boring
• Pipe ramming
• Microtunneling
• Tunneling
The table below is a sample of Kleinfelder’s broad experience with tunneling projects. All projects listed below were executed by local Kleinfelder personnel. Our underground professionals assist owners, designers, and contractors during the planning, design, and construction of tunneling projects.

Constructability Workshop:
Trenchless Technology
Expert
Mr. Daniels has over 21 years of experience in engineering and design, project management, and construction. During his time at GTS, a Kleinfelder Company, he has managed and engineered a multitude of projects ranging from smaller natural gas conversion projects to large natural gas transmission projects. He is the resident Subject Matter Expert for trenchless crossings, including horizontal directional drills, uprates, pipeline routing and construction methods. Mr. Daniels holds a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from California State University in Chico.
Experience Relevant to this Project
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), L-407 Natural Gas Pipeline Installation, Northern California. Mr. Daniels was the Lead Project Engineer and Designer for the L-407 natural gas pipeline installation. The L-407 project installed 26 miles of new pipeline in two phases over a two-year period; Phase I (2017) was approximately 12-miles in length with one
mainline valve station and one pressure limiting station (PLS). Phase II (2016) was approximately 14-miles of 30-inch with one mainline valve station. Several construction methods were utilized for construction, including direct bury, six guided auger bores and 17 horizontal directional drills (HDDs).
A project of this magnitude and complexity encounters many engineering and construction challenges. The project team had to work through planning, land acquisition, engineering, high ground water levels, environmental, permitting and construction impacts. Within its 26 miles, the pipeline route crossed; through three county jurisdictions, the Sacramento River, the Yolo Bypass, California State Highway 70/99, numerous irrigation canals, several nature conservancies, designated wetland areas, agricultural areas and areas designated for commercial and residential development.
The engineering design of the pipeline constantly evolved to address the permit requirements as land settlement agreement conditions were negotiated. Engineering design accounted for planned developments adjacent to the proposed route. Phase I is currently located in a Class 1 location but was designed for Class 3 to account for 35,000 homes and several large commercial centers planned to be built in the coming years. The design also needed to mitigate the potential for flooding and address a significant volume of ground water to be handled, treated, and discharged.
Communication and document control for a project this size is crucial. With multiple prime contractor spreads, four HDD rigs and one auger crew all working concurrently, RFI’s were consistently being submitted and
evaluated. Engineering and construction worked closely to ensure the latest drawing revisions incorporating approved changes were in the field to construct the line and ensure quality control practices were rigorously followed. As a result of the increased capacity and flexibility afforded by the new pipeline, the client was able to
cancel several planned capacities and uprate projects.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Cache Creek Relocation, Capay, CA. Mr. Daniels engineered, designed, and managed the Cache Creek Relocation project that relocated approximately 2,500 feet each of Pacific Gas
and Electric Company’s (PG&E) backbone natural gas transmission pipelines under Cache Creek. L-400 and L-401 are two of nine major natural gas pipelines contributing to PG&E’s “Backbone Transmission System” which supplies approximately 70 percent of the natural gas for PG&E’s customers in northern and central California.

Loss of one or both pipelines would compromise PG&E’s ability to deliver services to its customers. L-400 and
L-401 run in parallel and are 36-inches and 42-inches in diameter, respectively.
Cache Creek had experienced severe erosion of its streambed and banks where L-400 and L-401 cross due to the incision occurring along Cache Creek. If the streambed continued to erode, the pipelines would be exposed to high energy flows, resulting in exposure and potential damage. The project replaced L-400 and L-401 crossing Cache Creek using a Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD). The purpose of using an HDD is to minimize environmental impacts and ensure the new pipelines would be at a sufficient depth to resolve the existing erosion problems and to ensure safe pipeline operation in the future.
The project required coordination with Land and Permitting to obtain multiple permits and work through land issues. Additionally, Mr. Daniels performed engineering during construction and designed removal of the abandoned pipelines to be constructed in the future.
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Butte Rebuild Project, Paradise, CA. Mr. Daniels was the Lead Field
Engineer for the Paradise Rebuild Project. GTS, a Kleinfelder Company, is proud to have been able to support the rebuild efforts in Butte County where the 2018 Camp Fire deeply impacted the town of Paradise and surrounding areas. Mr. Daniels led a team of six Field Engineers in the effort. Emergency work was required to
review records and determine which natural gas mains and services were in immediate need of being cut off. The work included reviewing records, providing field engineering support, creating as-builts and updating gas service records. The project required quick action and many hours worked to get the tasks completed in a timely
manner. Mr. Daniels ensured that the team was trained up and all work was completed in a quality manner.
Southern Company Gas, Field Engineering Services, Atlanta, GA. Mr. Daniels worked out of the Atlanta office for several months to lead and start up the Field Engineering Services portion of the Integrity Management Verification Digs Program for Southern Company Gas. This program was implemented to validate pipeline and feature attributes against existing records; and the field engineers were the conduit between office staff and field staff. Mr. Daniels helped to develop documentation and processes for documenting field findings and ensuring those findings were properly communicated to stakeholders. Mr. Daniels trained and led a team of four field engineers in this multiyear programmatic effort.
Northwest Natural, Sandy Feeder Reinforcement, Sandy, OR. Lead Project Engineer. Mr. Daniels engineered, designed, and managed the Sandy Feeder Reinforcement Project that installed over 2.7 miles of 8” natural gas pipeline to reinforce the natural gas feed out to the City of Sandy. The project included installation of
a pig receiver, 14 horizontal direction drills (HDD), and two main line valves. A route study was completed to install the pipeline within a state highway. Additionally, Mr. Daniels coordinated with Land and Permitting to acquire the required permits with the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Bonneville Power Administration,
Army Corps of Engineers, and the City of Sandy. The work also included completing a route analysis and on-site engineering during construction to address multiple field changes.

Christian Lambarth,
PE, TE, PTOE
Traffic Control
STC Traffic, Inc.
Mr. Lambarth has over 13 years of experience in the management of traffic engineering projects in San Diego and throughout Southern California. He specializes in traffic signal design, signing and striping, traffic control, traffic operational analysis, street lighting, and traffic signal interconnect. He pulls from his years of experience in the
transportation industry to develop PS&E that focuses on constructability.
Experience Relevant to this Project
City of San Diego, Cast Iron Replacement Project – Phase II, San Diego, CA. Mr. Lambarth developed traffic control design plans for construction work involving the replacement of cast iron pipe along ten busy corridors throughout the City. The traffic control designs had to account for various conditions, such as crossing of railroad
tracks, bridge railings, signalized intersections, and bridges over major freeways. The plans were designed to minimize bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular impacts along the corridor and maintain access to the residential neighborhoods and businesses, while creating a safe working environment for the contractor. STC prepared a 30%-concept traffic control strategy to illustrate the phases of construction for the project team to review. After the waterline alignment was finalized, STC developed final traffic control plans for review and approval by the City. STC was also responsible for obtaining the required Caltrans encroachment permits for multiple segments. Mr. Lambarth served as Task Leader responsible for coordination, project tracking, plan and submittal review, and overall production of traffic control design plans.
City of Coronado, Traffic Control Plans for Coronado Sewer Forcemain, Coronado, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager responsible for preparation of traffic control plans in support of a Caltrans encroachment permit for the installation of a sewer forcemain across SR-75 north of Hooper Boulevard. The plans included three stages of traffic control that showed the work area, closures, tapers, signs, and other traffic control elements and were designed per Caltrans standards. SR-75 in Coronado is a heavily impacted corridor with residential neighborhoods and retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and beaches. Careful attention was given
to ensuring the community was impacted as little as possible to the work.
Otay Water District (OWD), Paso De Luz/Telegraph Canyon Water Line Replacement, Chula Vista, CA. Mr. Lambarth provided traffic control design plans for the construction of a replacement water line across the
eastbound traffic lanes of Telegraph Canyon Road in Chula Vista. Plans were designed to maintain a separated bike lane during each stage of construction. Mr. Lambarth coordinated with the City to determine how many travel lanes needed to be maintained during construction and what working hours that will be allowed prior to submittal for permit.
Otay Water District (OWD), Olympic Parkway Recycled Water Pipeline Replacement, Chula Vista, CA. Serving as Project Manager, Mr. Lambarth is overseeing the design of traffic control plans for replacement of 5,703 feet of existing 20-inch PVC recycled water pipeline with 16-inch PVC recycled water pipeline. The pipeline construction is proposed within Olympic Parkway, a six-lane prime arterial roadway with bike lanes and non-contiguous sidewalks on both sides serving the eastern portion of the City of Chula Vista.
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) Raw Water Conveyance Facilities, San Jacinto, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager responsible for development of traffic control plans for 15 stages at three key corridors in San Jacinto and Hemet that served as arterials carrying significant traffic throughout the Cities.

Along with developing the traffic control design plans, he oversaw the design of concept plans meant to gain
approval of all stakeholders, given the large-scale traffic disruptions involved. The concept plans showed schematic locations of work zones to illustrate the anticipated construction zones and the limits of traffic control for each phase of construction.
Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD), Traffic Control Memo for Diaz Road Sewer Design, San Jacinto, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager responsible for preparing traffic control descriptions as part of a technical memo for a variety of sewer alignment alternatives for 1200 feet of modified sewer line for Eastern Municipal Water District. This memo outlines the positives and negatives of each traffic control setup, the expected roadway impacts, potential for detours, approximate construction lengths, and need for traffic control devices.
San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (SDCRAA), San Diego International Airport Support Facilities, San Diego, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager, leading specialized traffic engineering
services for the large multidisciplinary team that executed the Design-Build Services for the San Diego International Airport Support Facilities Project. STC was tasked with evaluating site access and traffic circulation for the cargo belly support facility and maintenance facility components of the project. Mr. Lambarth supervised
preparation of PS&E for traffic signal modification plans, signage and striping plans, traffic control plans, and construction support services for proposed improvements along N. Harbor Drive, Admiral Boland Way, and Pacific Highway. He also developed traffic control plans for the installation of a water line going out to the
intersection at N. Harbor Drive and Lindbergh Field Way.
City of Carlsbad, El Camino Real Bridge Improvements Project, Carlsbad, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager responsible for field investigation and preparation of PS&E for signing and striping, traffic signal modifications, traffic signal interconnect, and a traffic management plan for construction of improvements for the Agua Hedionda Creek Bridge. Improvements included the addition of traffic lanes and a sidewalk, widening the existing sidewalk to meet Caltrans design requirements, undergrounding utility poles, and modifying or relocating utilities at both ends of the bridge. Mr. Lambarth designed traffic control to reduce impacts and comply with all state and federal agencies and permits associated with the project.
San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), Redlands Passenger Rail Project (RPRP), San Bernardino County, CA. Mr. Lambarth served as Project Manager responsible for providing coordination and oversight of traffic signal design, signing and striping, and traffic control plans for 26 at-grade crossings
along the new rail corridor. Mr. Lambarth led design for the entire project, which included basis of design for transportation systems, operational impact analysis of grade crossing improvements on the roadway network, alternatives analysis of train operations and impacts, and the Traffic Management Plan for construction. The
finalized project resulted in nine miles of new commuter rail service.
City of San Diego, Balboa Avenue Corridor Improvements, San Diego, CA. As lead Design Engineer, Mr. Lambarth supervised the field assessment effort and the development of various design plans, including traffic
signal designs and modifications that included protected left-turn phasing, signage and striping plans, replacement of signal head and new traffic signal poles and mast arms, and traffic control plans for all four project locations. The project included relocating traffic signal poles and installation of new pedestrian push button poles to provide ADA accessible paths of travel at these four key intersections.
