ACover Letter City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency Water Resources Division 220 S. Daisy Avenue, M-85 Santa Ana, CA 92703 Dear Mr. Fernandez, Consistency, responsiveness, and experience have been the foundation of EEC Environmental's (EEC) approach to engineering and consulting services in Southern California for more than a quarter century. These qualities have resulted in EEC being a trusted partner for the City of Santa Ana (City) and many other cities throughout the area. EEC has been providing the City PFAS support services for years, and if asked to continue, creates unmatched consistency with an understanding on how to move any City project quickly and cost-effectively over the finish line. Our "PFAS Owner's Representative" support for the City is a perfect example of our relationship. In mid-2020 when the City was presented with the Carollo Producer's Report outlining the considerable impacts that PFAS will have on the City water supply system, Cesar Barrera and Rudy Rosas called EEC to lend our expertise and guide the City through the many challenges that were to come. EEC dedicated our team of civil and water resource engineers, chemists, and compliance experts to supplement the City's staff in solving complex challenges such as offlining production wells, PFAS sampling compliance, PFAS treatment system design peer review and comment, UCMRS planning, PFAS waste disposal planning, OC Flood Control District permit compliance for well flushing, certified training sessions for City personnel, Well 40 site inspections, and whatever else was needed. Our monthly PFAS calls were critical to address the ever -changing landscape of PFAS compliance and were adjusted to weekly meetings when necessary to facilitate quicker responses to the City's most demanding needs. The EEC professionals discussed throughout this Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) have a wide variety of specialization and qualifications that are applicable to the services requested in the RFP, "On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems; RFP No.: 22-133". EEC wanted to offer the City the best possible PFAS treatment team; therefore, we partnered with Kennedy Jenks (KJ) on this response. KJ is a leading water engineering firm that delivers innovative design, construction, and technology solutions for water projects across the US. More importantly, KJ's team has successfully delivered PFAS treatment system designs for multiple groundwater wells within OCWD's service area.
