<br />Washington Well Drilling Phase 2, Drilling and CEQA, City of Santa Years of Experience:
<br />Ana, CA. 2020 - Ongoing. Project Manager. The City of Santa Ana 30
<br />selected Tetra Tech to plan the drilling and equipping plans of a new Years with Tetra Tech:
<br />well within a vacant City property near the intersection of
<br />Washington/Penn. The first phase of the project identified the drill 4
<br />location and facility configuration within the lot. This is the second
<br />phase and focuses on the final well site layout and renderings for the new well facility. The work also
<br />includes coordination with environmental and cultural requirements in advance of any drilling efforts.
<br />SA-1 Hydro -Generator Replacement, City of Santa Ana, CA. 2020 - Ongoing. Project Manager. As
<br />recommended within its Alternative Energy Feasibility Study, the City of Santa Ana plans to replace an
<br />existing turbine generator that is over 33 years old and nearing the end of its useful life. The
<br />hydro -generator is located off of Metropolitan Water District's SA-1 station where high pressure flow is
<br />reduced to lower pressure and the generator converts the pressure differential into energy to power
<br />Well 39. All these facilities are near each other and located at the John Garthe Reservoir and Pump
<br />Station Facility. Tetra Tech will prepare a Basis of Design Memorandum to evaluate generator options.
<br />The scope also includes preparation of plans and specifications to construct the selected
<br />hydro -generator and any appurtenant modifications required to facilitate the new component, including
<br />upgrades to the electrical facilities and reconfiguration of the piping system.
<br />Crooke Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements -Preliminary Design Phase, City of Santa
<br />Ana, CA. 2020 - Ongoing. Project Manager. The City of Santa Ana wishes to have preliminary design
<br />plans prepared for this Capital Improvement Project which includes civil, mechanical, structural, and
<br />electrical disciplines involved. The proposed upgrades include Well 28 (new VFD/MCC, separate SCE
<br />Transformer, new stand-by generator, new perimeter wall), Well 27 (new soft starter/MCC, new stand-
<br />by generator, upgrades/rehabilitation of valving, piping, pump/motor), and Crooke Pump Station (new
<br />main switchboard/ATS/MCC/VFDs/Control Panel/AC unit, expansion of electrical room, upgrades to
<br />pump/motors, and miscellaneous site improvements, including lowering of roadway under a railway
<br />bridge to allow access to Well 28). The final deliverables was a preliminary technical memorandum,
<br />including 30% design plans showing the preliminary design improvements of the various facilities.
<br />La Palma Avenue and Tustin Avenue Watermain Replacements at OCTA Crossing, City of
<br />Anaheim, CA, 2019 - Ongoing. Project Manager. The OCTA planned to construct an additional railroad
<br />track for the Metrolink within its existing right-of-way as part of the Anaheim Canyon Station Metrolink
<br />Project. The new tracks cross City of Anaheim water mains at La Palma Avenue and Tustin Avenue
<br />and therefore the mains must be rerouted and placed within a steel casing. Tetra Tech prepared plans
<br />and specifications to replace the existing 36-inch CCP with a 36-inch steel in a 48-inch steel casing in
<br />La Palma Avenue, the existing 12-inch CIP with a 12-inch DIP in a 24-inch steel casing in La Palma
<br />Avenue, and the existing 12-inch CIP with a 12-inch DIP in a 24-inch steel casing in Tustin Avenue.
<br />The project also included coordination with OCTA.
