Daisy Ave. M-85 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92703 <br />Dear Mr. Ige: <br />BLACK & VEATCH CORPORATION <br />800 WILSHIRE BLVD., SUITE 600, LOS ANGELES, CA 90017 <br />+1407-408-1885 1 KERSTEN)R@BV.com <br />Per your request, Black & Veatch is pleased to submit to the City of Santa Ana (City) the <br />following scope of work and fee estimate for the additional work items. <br />Task 1 - Capital Asset Repair & Replacement (R&R) Needs <br />Under this task, Black & Veatch will perform the following subtasks: <br />• Update the Capital Asset Management & Prioritization System (CAMPS) model. <br />The intent of the update is to provide the City with a CAMPS model to allow City <br />staff to update asset conditions and project high-level R&R cost schedules. <br />• Provide preliminary condition assessments for planned Water and Sewer R&R <br />projects. Black & Veatch understands that the City has two large capital projects <br />planned that may require Black & Veatch's assistance. The first project is the 16" <br />water transmission main repair/replacement project along Bristol Street; the <br />second project involves repair/replacement of approximately 371 sewer sites that <br />have a NASSCO rating of S. For the proposed projects, Black & Veatch will work with <br />City staff to help prioritize the projects for execution based on available funding and <br />resources. Additionally, Black & Veatch may provide preliminary break frequency <br />analysis to help refine condition assessment of these lines. Results of such an <br />analysis would be incorporated in the CAMPS model as well. <br />Task 2 - Financial Support Services <br />The City has experienced many delays and identified several potential issues with respect <br />to moving forward on its planned water and sewer rate increases. As a result, under this <br />task, Black & Veatch proposes to perform the following subtasks: <br />• Update the water and sewer rate study. Specifically, Black & Veatch will update <br />the study to reflect fiscal year (FY) 11/12 actuals and preliminary FY 12/13 budget <br />figures. Projections for necessary revenue adjustments will also be updated as <br />necessary. <br />• Assist City with rate implementations. For this subtask, Black & Veatch will work <br />with City staff to help with implementation of the recommendations from the rate <br />studies, as well as other identified issues. Such assistance may include, but is not <br />limited to, development of policies for reserve levels, external department cost <br />allocations, and level of service agreements.
