<br />maintaining the City's sterling reputation of providing award -winning water to its customers.
<br />EEC is excited to team with Kennedy/Jenks (KJ) to bolster the breadth of services that EEC provides to the City without

<br />decades of experience assisting local municipalities and agencies by managing and
<br />implementing a long list of water related environmental projects including PFAS treatment
<br />ff.jECand consulting. Under our existing on -call contract with the City, EEC has conducted a
<br />E N V I R 0 N M E N T A L wide variety of technical services for the Public Works Agency ranging from sewer
<br />collection system engineering to as -needed PEAS consulting services. This diverse array ofprojects has allowed us to work
<br />closely with different City team members and truly understand the most effective way to support Santa Ana.
<br />As demonstrated in the qualifications section of the proposal, EEC has a breadth of experience in all the tasks required by
<br />this RFQ including planning studies, feasibility studies, cost estimating, well assessments, wellhead HAS ion exchange
<br />treatment design, bidding management, construction management, and PFAS regulatory expertise.
<br />Unique PEAS Experience within Santa Ana — EEC has an extensive resume of PFAS projects within the City. EEC has
<br />successfully completed or is currently assisting with multiple PFAS related projects, including: 1) Well 40 grading and
<br />drainage revisions; 2) HAS treatment system commissioning planning; 3) PFAS waste disposal planning; 4) Wells 27, 28,
<br />31. 38, and 40 PFAS treatment system design peer review; 5) PFAS treatment system operator training; 6) Pump to waste
<br />planning; and 7) water quality sampling and UCMR5 compliance planning.
<br />Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc. (KJ) is a full -service multi -disciplinary engineering consulting fine
<br />founded in 1919. With more than 400 professionals throughout the United States, they deliver projects
<br />10 of varying sizes and complexity while also providing personalized service. The KJ team has expertise
<br />n the broad spectrum of groundwater treatment including an in-depth understanding of the specific
<br />Kmnedy k k3 nuances associated with HAS removal, having designed dozens of facilities throughout California.
<br />K.l's successful groundwater treatment design projects have included reverse osmosis (RO), granular
<br />media and membrane filtration, ion exchange (IX), various desalinization, brine minimization technologies, advanced
<br />oxidation processes, and granular activated carbon (GAC) for treatment of a wide range of parameters, such as PFAS, TDS,
<br />iron, manganese, boron, nitrate, Perchlorate, 1,2,3-TCP, hexavalent chromium, and arsenic. The ability to evaluate pilot
<br />study data, provide guidance and technical support, ability to provide recommendations and system integration based on
<br />existing conditions, and the ability to propose cost-effective improvements that can be reasonably designed, QA/QC, cost
<br />control, and constructed within a short time frame are addressed in the below sections.
<br />Unique PEAS Experience within Southern California — KJ has three dedicated HAS design teams in Irvine, San Diego,
<br />and Pasadena. The KJ team offers experience with both GAC and IX groundwater PFAS treatment systems that are in
<br />current operation or construction. KJ's recent success designing and constructing treatment systems similar in size and
<br />technology to those considered by the City means they can immediately begin design work upon Notice -to -Proceed. Such
<br />systems include PEAS treatment systems for the City of Orange (IX, 8,000 gpm), Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (IX,
<br />6,000 gpm), and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (GAC/IX, 6,200 AFY).
