<br />COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL RESOURCE
<br />As neighbors —with our nearby Newport Beach office and
<br />many of our team members being residents of surrounding
<br />communities —we are deeply invested in the City's success. With
<br />more than 100 professionals in Southern California, we have the
<br />depth of resources to respond quickly to your needs. Our local staff
<br />provides design, construction oversight and inspection, construction
<br />management and administration, program management, project
<br />management, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering,
<br />civil engineering planning, plan review and plan check, code
<br />compliance enforcement, environmental compliance, labor
<br />compliance, and grant administration. Our in-house capabilities also
<br />include as -needed municipal staff extension services, water and
<br />wastewater master planning and hydraulic modeling, CEQA/NEPA
<br />compliance, regulatory permitting, GIS design and implementation,
<br />sewer flow monitoring, and survey.
<br />CAPABILITIES TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
<br />Category 1. Planning, Resources, and Design
<br />As you will see in our organization chart on page 7, we have
<br />assembled a comprehensive team to address each scope item,
<br />and then some, so we are ready for any planning and feasibility
<br />studies, hydraulic modeling, and design work that may arise.
<br />Planning/Hydraulic Modeling
<br />To assist agencies with moving master planned projects to the
<br />next level of detail, Ardurra is often called upon to prepare the
<br />preliminary design for a specific facility. We can also prepare
<br />water supply assessment for new development. These projects
<br />help our clients reach decisions about hydraulic analysis and
<br />pump selection, lift station site layouts, and construction phasing.
<br />In many instances, the preparation of such a preliminary design is
<br />the first step that we perform as part of the overall facility design.
<br />Example projects include:
<br />• City of El Monte Sewer Master Plan and GIS Improvements
<br />(development of a sewer GIS database and associated
<br />sewer atlas maps through record drawing conversion; CCTV
<br />inspection of 330,000 LF sewer main; development of hydraulic
<br />model using InfoSWMM; asset management plan using
<br />CapPlan for InfoSWMM)
<br />• City of Hesperia Water, Wastewater, and Recycled Water
<br />Master Plan (preparation of a water, wastewater, and recycled
<br />water master plan update that included the development of
<br />a water, sewer, and recycled water system hydraulic model
<br />through GIS integration, system demand projections to the
<br />year 2040, and a capital improvement program)
<br />• City of Oceanside As -Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services
<br />[water and sewer hydraulic modeling (InfoWater and
<br />InfoSWMM) to perform water and sewer utility impact studies
<br />for proposed developments within the city]
<br />• Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Water and Sewer Utility
<br />Impact Study (digitized proposed water and sewer facilities into
<br />water and sewer models and performed hydraulic analysis to
<br />confirm the recommended sizes for the proposed water lines,
<br />water booster station, and sewer lines)
<br />Lift/Pump Stations
<br />Our lift/pump station experience encompasses the design and
<br />condition assessment of pumping systems ranging from 130 gpm
<br />to 11,000+ gpm capacities and includes under constant- and
<br />variable -speed pumping conditions. Our experience includes
