RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Tetra Tech, Inc., Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc., and EEC Environmental to provide on -call engineering design
services for PFAS treatment systems, for a shared aggregate amount not to exceed
$3,000,000, for a three-year term beginning April 4, 2023 and expiring April 3, 2026,

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division (Water Resources) oversees and
maintains the daily operations of the City's water and sanitary sewer systems. The
water system is composed of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater
wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons,
four pressure regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan
Water District. The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its
roughly 45,150 metered service connections.
Due to recent monitoring orders issued by the California State Water Resources Control
Board related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the City has been
proactive in pursuing advanced water treatment options to remove PFAS from the
drinking water supply. On May 19, 2020, the City entered into an agreement with the
Orange County Water District (OCWD) requesting them to design and construct PFAS
treatment facilities at well stations which showed contaminant levels above the state
Response Level thresholds. Currently, the City is in the design or construction phases
of PFAS treatment facilities at several well locations that fall under the parameters of
the OCWD agreement.

For the wells in which PFAS has been detected but do not exceed the state Response
Levels, and therefore do not meet the requirements for OCWD agreement, the City has
taken a conservative approach and taken the wells offline. In order to bring the wells
back online, the City will need to design and construct PFAS treatment facilities at each
affected well site.
Water Resources is seeking engineering consultant firms to provide design services for
PFAS ion exchange treatment facilities in order to optimize treatment at future sites
impacted by the constituent of concern. It is imperative that the City prioritizes water
treatment to ensure residents can be guaranteed the highest quality of potable drinking
water.
On October 3, 2022, the Public Works Agency released Request for Proposals (RFP)
No. 22-133, by which it sought the services of qualified consulting firms to provide
engineering design services for PFAS treatment systems. The RFP was advertised on
PlanetBids, and proposals were received electronically via PlanetBids on November 17,
2022. The City notified a total of 112 regional vendors via PlanetBids, with 40 vendors
downloading bidding documents. Three proposals were received and evaluated by a
selection committee. Based on criteria outlined in the RFP, the following summarizes
the responding firms and their ranking:

Reference: Request for Proposals for On -Call Engineering Design Services for PEAS
Treatment Systems, RFP No. 22-133
Dear Mr. Fernandez,
Tetra Tech is very pleased to provide our proposal for your
On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment
Systems. In the last four years Tetra Tech has been performing
similar PFAS engineering services for public agencies in both
Orange and Los Angeles Counties. We are one of only a few
firms that have completed the design of six PFAS projects,
including the first operating project in Orange County and
the largest PFAS Ion Exchange (IX) project in the United
States.
The Team we are proposing has extensive, local experience
developed over the last five years on PFAS projects.
Steve Tedesco, PE, our Project Manager has directed each of
these projects making sure the Team provides high -quality
engineering while meeting project budgets and schedule. Over
the last four years our team has developed a large data base of
costs on completed projects that can be used to provide cost
certainty in this time of rapidly changing prices.
To accelerate the schedule and reduce costs, Tetra Tech has
developed an implementation strategy that will provide the City
of Santa Ana (City) with two separate design teams working
under the direction of a single Project Manager and reviewed
by a single QA/QC Manager for consistency. Each team
includes a Task Leader and key design team members in the
following engineering disciplines:
■ Civil
■ Process/Mechanical
■ Structural
■ Electrical, Instrumentation & Control
■ Water Quality
■ 3❑ CAD❑
Each team will also have access to an additional 20 engineers and production staff to use as needed to
further accelerate the schedule. Tetra Tech is committing 35 full-time staff with over 90% of them
located in Southern California. Our only sub -consultants on the project consist of Leighton Associates
for Geotechnical Engineering and Metz Surveying for Site Topographic Survey. We have also included
Alan Ludwig of Pascal & Ludwig to assist with cost estimating and constructability review. Having a
local contractor who has built numerous IX plants brings additional credibility to a project.

Our detailed understanding and scope of services was developed by our Team based on our
successfully completed PFAS studies and design projects. In our approach to the study phase of the
project we propose to review each well site and determine if it should be considered for a single well
site design or be combined into a centralized system. We will determine if the existing well pump and
motor is large enough to pump through the proposed PFAS plant and piping system. On centralized
systems we will prepare a hydraulic model to determine the required pump and motor sizing to
determine if the system is the most cost effect option. Our scope of services includes the required
coordination, reports and design needed to obtain a California Division of Drinking Water (DDW) permit.
The Tetra Tech team assigned to this project brings the following important advantages to this contract:
■ We have studied and designed PFAS Plants on single well sites and Centralized Treatment
Facilities to serve multiple wells on a single site. Our team knows how to model, size and design
well field connecting piping on busy urban streets.
■ We bring extensive local experience including four completed studies and six completed PFAS
system designs. Our Headquarters Project for Yorba Linda Water District is the largest PFAS IX
plant in the United States and the winner of both the ASCE Orange County Branch and ASCE
Los Angeles Region Project of the Year.
■ We have obtained permits for similar PFAS projects from the DDW, other State and local agencies.
We have obtained three permits from the Santa Ana DDW office for IX PFAS treatment plants.
■ Our team will use 3D modeling in all our design efforts to allow the City staff to visualize what your
completed project will look like as we progress with the design.
We have reviewed the City's Sample Standard Agreement attached to the Request for Proposal and
concur with the provisions contained in the Agreement. Additionally, this proposal shall remain valid for
a period of not less than 120 days from the date of submittal.
Tetra Tech and members of our team for this project have worked together with the City on
water projects for over 30 years. Let us assure you that our entire team understands the importance
of this project. As Tetra Tech's client manager, I promise to ensure that our work will not only be timely
but also of the highest -quality that the City expects and deserves. If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact Steve Tedesco, our sole source of contact at (949) 632-2169.

PROJECT APPROACH
Project Management
PFAS Treatment Systems
Tetra Tech fully understands the importance of this project to the City. Our team has therefore developed a
plan and a system that can complete a group of projects in the most expeditious manner possible,
We have dedicated over 35 staff members (90% of which are local) to work on this project. They will be
grouped into two teams which will each have a leader along with six other key staff members from various
disciplines (civil, processlmechanica1, structural, electrical, I&C, water quality, and 3D CADD) under the
direction of our Project Manager, Steve Tedesco, PE,
This approach will allow our team to work on multiple sites at the same time.
Each team will also be assisted, from a pool of 20 additional staff members, to
provide both technical and production assistance. Members of the pool will
work on certain specifications, details, and control descriptions that are
common to both teams.
Our Project Manager, Steve Tedesco, will meet weekly with the City to review
progress and resolve any issues. At these meetings, our team will roll out the
latest plans, review the design, and solicit input, In this manner we expect to
have most issues resolved before our submittals, allowing for review periods
to be shortened to one to two weeks per submittal.
Tetra Tech will develop and maintain a Project Management Plan (PMP) to
ensure successful execution of the project. The draft PMP will be submitted
within 10 days of project award, and Lite final PMP will be submitted within
five days of receiving the City's draft comments. The purpose of the PMP is to clearly define Tetra Tech's
approach, personnel, resources, project schedule, and milestones in executing and managing scope,
schedule, cost, and to comply with the requirements of the project. We propose a concise document
organized as follows:
• Project Management Organization
■ Key Personnel Roles and Responsibilities
■ Project Scope, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and Technical Approach that defines activities and
milestones
■ Detailed Activity -Based Schedule (organized consistently with the WBS)
■ A plan to keep the City up to date on the project
Technical Approach
We are very familiar with the City's water wells, reservoirs and distribution from our many years of service. Our
team will obtain and review all relevant information on the proposed treatment sites so we can determine the
best way to treat all affected wells and cost effectively get the treated water distribution system. As we work on
each treatment system the first thing, we will do is confirm available information and provide a design criteria
document that is site specific to each well.
Pre -purchasing vessels for the project can be a significant time savings for the projects. It is critical that our
design teams incorporate the pre -purchased vessels correctly into our construction bid packages. Tetra Tech
has done this in the past on several IX projects.
In order to take full advantage of the time saved through pre -purchased vessels, we recommend the following;
■ Design the concrete slab as a single mat foundation to hold all vessels, piping, pipe racks, drain system,
and conduits.
■ Design the slab with no pipe or conduit penetrations. This will allow slab work to begin as soon as the
contract is approved.
■ Design late proof packets to allow ease of installation of vessels and anchor bolts. No matter how good
the vessel quality control is, it is impossible for all bolt locations to be exact in the field,
TETRA TECH Page 17
PROPOSAL FOR
On -Call Engineering Design Services PFAS Treatment Systems
■ Layout for each site is extremely important. Design needs to accommodate large tanker trucks to deliver
the GAC or IX media. These trucks need room to access the site, unload spent media, and install new
replacement media.
■ We highly recommend the use of 5 micron filters as a pre-treatment step prior to IX media. This prevents
fine sediments that may come from the wells or pipelines from potentially clogging the filters and/or
damaging the media.
■ On large systems where there is available space it is good to have a waste backwash tank. This tank
stores the waste backwash during change outs, and allows suspended particles to settle and then be
pumped back to the front of the plant. Due to the "forever nature" of PFAS, it is not a good idea to send
waste into either sewer or storm drain systems.
■ Installation of a drainage system on the tank slab will allow drainage water from rainfall to be collected and
disposed of. It can also be used to collect, store, and alarm the operators when a leak has occurred. Since
the sites are in highly urban areas, it is best to prevent any leakage from discharging off the site.
■ Consider replacing rupture disks with pressure relief valves that contain limit switches that can signal an
over pressurization and alarm the wells to shut down. Rupture disk needs to be replaced after every over
pressurization.
All of our designs on this project will be performed using 31) CADD Revit design drawings. As each site is completed,
we will provide the City with a visualization of the proposed site. Below is an example of one of our sites currently in
final design.
Preferred layout for a leadllag configuration with pretreatment filters and backwash tank.
Current code provisions for the anchorage of tanks and vessel contain specific requirements for the strength
of the anchor bolts. These requirements can be found in Chapter 15 of the ASCE 7-16 and Chapter 17 of the
ACI 318. The intent of these provisions is to avoid catastrophic, brittle failures of the concrete at anchor bolts
by ensuring that the concrete at an anchor bolt group has significantly more strength than the anchors
themselves. The anchor design provisions effectively prevent the use of post -installed anchors because of
their limited bond strength. Cast -in -place anchors must be used for tanks and vessels, but cast -in -place
anchor bolts are difficult to locate accurately. The use of cast -in -place anchors requires additional time and
TETRA TECH Page 18

PEAS Treatment Systems
cost during construction, as full-size anchor layout templates must be created for each vessel, the templates
must be field located by surveyors and secured to the formwork to keep the anchors from shifting as the
concrete is placed.
The convenience of post -installed anchors can be reclaimed by the use of late pour pockets at each of the
tank legs. Please refer to the sketches below for a typical plan and section of the late pour pockets. A small
portion of the tank foundation will be blocked out with formwork so that the space within the block -out will not
be filled with concrete at the time the rest of the foundation concrete is placed. The reinforcing for the
foundation will run through the late pour block -out, and it will be located to miss the tank anchors. This will
create relatively clear areas at each tank base plate where the cast -in -place anchor baits can be located with
some freedom for field adjustments. Additional reinforcing stirrups (if required) may be placed in the late pour
pocket for increased concrete strength. After the tanks are properly located and temporarily supported, the late
pour pockets will be filled with high strength cementitious grout. After the grout in the late pour pocket sets,
final adjustments to the tank height may be made, to plumb and level the tanks. These adjustments are made
using the leveling nuts under the base plates.

IX system sizing is based on the minimum Empty Bed Contact Time (EBCT) required to successfully adsorb a
particular pollutant and the allowable superficial velocity, or hydraulic loading rate of the vessel. IX treatment
for PFAS removal is configured in 2-vessel trains, with one train acting as the lead and the second train acting
as the lag (i.e. the vessels operate in series).
Santa Ana Well 26 was evaluated to consider what a PFAS treatment system for this site could look like.
Santa Ana Well 26 supplies the East Reservoir and Pumping Station. The well production from 2010 to 2022
varied from 1,565 gpm to 2,454 gpm. Design criteria of the existing well are summarized in Table 1.

The standard train (2 vessels) IX treatment systems are widely commercially available in 2 sizes for treatment
plants of similar size to Santa Ana Well 26: 10-ft diameter with or 12-ft diameter. Ion exchange resin has a
high headloss per ft of bed depth, and for this reason many facilities cap their treatment capacity based on a
maximum resin depth of 3.7-ft per vessel. The recommended treatment capacity for PEAS removal is 500 to
1,100 gpm per 10-ft vessel train and 700 gpm to 1,600 gpm per 12-ft vessel train.
Santa Ana Well 26 could be configured with two (2) 12-ft trains and treat the maximum production currently
reported, or two (2) 10-ft trains to treat the well pump design flow rate of 2,050 gpm. Either IX system should
also consider the installation of 5-micron pre-treatment cartridge or bag filters ahead of the IX vessels.

Well 26 Hydraulic Evaluation
Hydraulic calculations for the expected pressure losses through the PFAS treatment plant using the IX vessels
and pretreatment bag filters were estimated based on the information provided for Santa Ana Well 26 based
on Alternative B, as presented above. The headloss for the IX vessels is calculated as a function of the resin
depth as it relates to the flow through the IX train. The system losses were calculated for both clean
pre-treatment filters and pre-treatment filters with maximum dP prior to replacement. Table 3 summarizes the
design points at the maximum and minimum lifts for the pretreatment conditions as well as the proposed
IX treatment condition.

A system curve for Well 26 with PEAS treatment is presented in Figure 1. The existing well pump curve is not
provided at this time, therefore a generic curve is included to indicate a pump curve that would be capable of
incorporating treatment. During the design process Tetra Tech will evaluate all of the actual existing well pump
curves against the calculated new system curve to determine the well pump's ability to meet the new system
pressure requirements with PFAS treatment. The maximum flow rate the pump will operate at with the new
treatment will be presented, and if unacceptable recommendations made for modifications such as adding
bowls, changing motor size, or replacing the well pump entirely.

Pilot Testing Data and DDW Permitting
PFAS Treatment Systems
Orange County Water District (OCWD) pilot test of non -potable well (Bessie Well) located in Anaheim, CA
near Warner Basin and pilot results at neighboring Water Replenishment District (WRD) sites have all
demonstrated excellent ability of many IX resins to successfully remove PFAS containments.
Table 4 compares key organic and inorganic water quality data from a generic OCWD well with WRD and
OCWD PFAS pilot tests. It is observed that the water quality of the example well is generally similar in PFOA,
PFOS, and other relevant IX water quality parameter concentrations to that of OCWD-BESS. Given that the
pertinent water quality parameter concentrations are similar between the pilot test source water and the
example well, and that the pilot testing has shown several IX products successfully remove PFOA and PFOS,
DDW permitted implementation of IX at the example site based off of the OCWD pilot data and a site specific
lead -lag performance model to approximate lag performance at the specific example well site. Once water
quality data is received a similar comparison would be provided for any Santa Ana wells that require treatment.

PFAS Study
Our team has been involved in numerous PEAS Studies for water systems in Southern California. ❑ur
approach is to start with a site visit to each proposed well site followed by a detailed review of available record
drawings. It is our understanding that the City has approximately 6 to 8 wells that will need to be considered
for WAS treatment. ❑nce we have completed this work we would proceed with the following:
■ Obtain and review 3 to 5 years of water quality data from each well. This data will be reviewed and
analyzed to confirm that the water quality is within the range required for effective PFAS treatment with
IX media.
■ Determine if any of the wells have issues with sand, turbidity or suspended solids that would affect the
5 micron pretreatment filter and/or the IX media.
■ Prepare a comparison of each wells water quality to the pilot results in the OCWD Pilot Report. This data
will be used to determine if the City wells could use the existing pilot test results or if they would require
additional pilot testing be performed.
■ Using areal photographic mapping determine proposed layouts for each site considering both construction
working room and room for future maintence including IX media change outs.
■ Determine which sites could be piped together to allow for a centralized treatment system to treat all or
some of the wells. See the figure below for a typical centralized treatment system layout.
CENTRALIZED TREATMENT SYSTEM
To
DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
We would then work closely with the City staff to narrow down the options to 3 or 4 which include both
centralized and single well treatment plants. The next step in the process would be to build a hydraulic
computer model that could analyze the operations of each of the 3 to 4 options, The hydraulic computer model
would include the following inputs:
• Pump curves for all affected wells
■ New Pipelines from the Wells to the centralized treatment plant
■ Storage reservoirs (if required)
■ Booster Pumps (if required)
■ Existing City Distribution pipeline size and pressure where treated water will be delivered to
The models are run and updated to obtain the optimum pipe diameter, pump, and motor sizing for each
option. Once this is completed our team will then prepare capital and operational costs for each option. Our
draft and final reports will provide the costs indicating the total capital cost, annual operating costs and the cost
per acre feet of water produced.

their location, and areas available for a treatment
system(s) and truck access would be examined.
The Planning Study would determine how the
treatment system(s) would be integrated into the
City's existing operations, determine if a centralized
treatment plant is feasible for combining wells,
provide alternative design options, assess the
potential for blending, provide initial support for
permitting and develop capital costs associated with
potential land acquisition, permitting, pipeline
connections and system integration. In general, the
scope of work will include the following for the
Planning Study:
A. Management Activities

Tetra Tech will provide meeting minutes for each
meeting as well as biweekly updates of progress to
the City.
B. Well Assessment and Initial Treatment
Design
Our staff will gather information on the City's
groundwater conveyance systems, impacted wells,
reservoirs, imported water connections, and conduct
site visits to all well sites affected to determine
available area of land for the PFAS treatment
system(s) as well as determine how the treatment
system(s) will be integrated into the City's existing
operations. Tetra Tech will also review existing and
available information on the City's historical PFAS
bench -and pilot -scale testing as well as historical
Planning Studies performed and existing PFAS
treatment facility layouts and adhere to the
standards set therein.
In the preliminary Planning Study, Tetra Tech will

Reference: Proposal For On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems, RFP No. 22-133
Dear Mr. Fernandez and Selection Committee Members:
The City of Santa Ana (City) is proactively addressing the challenge of providing your residents with a safe, reliable water
supply by treating your groundwater wells for polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), to comply with California's notification
levels. Under Orange County Water District's (OCWD) PFAS basin -wide program, of the 21 City wells, four treatment
systems are in various stages of design and construction to treat five wells impacted by PFAS. The 2020 Carollo
Producer Report, prepared by OCWD, identified nine impacted City wells and evaluated individual or centralized treatment
schemes. Your planned feasibility study will build upon that early effort to develop a comprehensive City-wide plan to
address PFAS at all impacted wells.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) has been involved in PFAS research, planning, and treatment design for
more than a decade. We regularly track both federal and state regulations for our clients across the US. Through our
ongoing work at your four OCWD-selected well sites, we have gained significant experience in learning how your water
system operates and the unique challenges at each location. Well sites within and adjacent to park areas will require
coordination and buy -in from your Parks Department, as well as nearby affected residents. Older well sites may require
electrical and or controls upgrades to update to current City standards. In turn, Stantec has teamed with Enterprise
Automation (EA) to help design treatment systems that incorporate your system control and operation strategy. Some
well sites also have limited treatment space available, such as your Well 38 site that presents unique design challenges.
In addition, Leighton Consulting, Inc. (Leighton) will provide geotechnical support, as they have at your four current
project sites. Stantec has partnered with both EA and Leighton on the OCWD projects for the City.
We recognize this is a significant financial impact to system operations and the sooner affected wells come online, the
less you have to rely on costly imported water. With a City -led treatment program, projects can be accelerated to meet
your schedule rather than relying on OCWD-led designs that have been extended, due to faster and larger expenditure of
OCWD funds. Also, the City can progress with treating all affected wells, irrespective of PFAS levels, pending available
funding. To expedite implementation and construction, Stantec recommends the City consider prepurchasing long -lead
items. Lessons learned from our recent experience with OCWD projects demonstrated that treatment vessels require
significant lead time for delivery, which prompted OCWD's prepurchase of up to 150 vessels. Similarly, emergency
generators and motor control centers are experiencing several months to more than a year in lead time. Stantec can
work with the City to prepare prepurchase designs and specifications early in our design process to minimize these
material delays. Our team also provides the following benefits:
Well Established Local Relationships and Knowledge of Local Infrastructure
Our project manager/principal agent, Jim Cathcart, PE, F. ASCE, has been working in Orange County for most of his
45-year career. He is currently overseeing the team working on OCWD's PFAS Treatment Systems Design for the City.
These established relationships and knowledge of local infrastructure will benefit the City by implementing your
treatment systems quickly and efficiently.

D. Understanding of Scope
UNDERSTANDING SCOPE OF SERVICES
With the rapidly growing number of regulatory
levels and public health goals for per- and poly-
PFAS compounds, and the additional planned
regulations from both California and the USEPA;
the City is planning ahead to address PFAS at your
existing groundwater wells (regardless of current
concentrations). Under the OCWD PFAS basin -wide
program, five groundwater wells are currently in
various stages of design and construction to treat
the wells with IX treatment processes. With 21
existing groundwater wells providing a significant
portion of the City's water supply, the swift and
streamlined planning, design, and construction of
additional groundwater treatment facilities is critical
to minimize potential financial impacts from the
costs of supplementing supply with imported water.
In selecting design consultants to provide on -
call planning study, design, bid phase support,
and construction phase support services for
the remaining impacted groundwater wells,
we understand consultant services under this
contract may be for any one or group of City owned
groundwater wells. Well 26 has been identified as
one facility requiring wellhead treatment.
Approach
This section outlines Stantec's proposed approach
toward on -call planning in addressing City-wide
treatment options, as well as design, bid, and
construction phase services. Our approach is
tailored for the specific considerations of Well 26
and is generally applicable to any of the City's other
groundwater well sites.
Project Management
Our overall project administration and design
supervision will be an on -going task from initial
planning through construction and start-up of the
treatment facilities. This task will include regular
communication with City staff, other affected
stakeholders, and internal project design staff.
Monthly invoicing and project status reporting
is also included. An initial kick-off meeting,
regular progress meetings, and workshops will
be conducted based on the needs of each on -call
project assignment. Project management effort will
be included separately in the planning tasks, and
design services tasks.
Schedule and Staffing
We have identified staff who are available and
committed for your on -call project. In turn, we also
understand project schedules can change and
staffing conflicts may arise during project delivery
(see Preliminary Schedule). To proactively address
keeping projects on schedule and budget, Stantec
affords a broad network of resources accessible
across multiple offices. As a large and integrated
company, we use this staffing network to help
mitigate staffing issues that may arise. As a recent
example, for LADWP's San Fernando Groundwater
Treatment design -build project, we mobilized close
to 200 staff across 22 business centers/offices to
deliver final design for 25- and 40-MGD treatment
facilities within 12 months (over 2,000 drawings) —
during the initial Covid-19 outbreak.
Planning Study
To provide a holistic and well-defined plan for PFAS
treatment for impacted wells, the Stantec team
proposes a systematic process with input from the
City along with milestone workshop meetings. The
process will begin by obtaining and reviewing water
quality data, operations information, how each well
is integrated with City reservoirs and the distribution
system, along with performing site visits to all
identified well sites. We believe planning is only
as good as the information available. Fortunately,
the Stantec team is already familiar with much
of the City's wells and water operations. We will
apply this knowledge to Well 26 and any other wells
considered under this study. Additionally, we believe
planning needs to be collaborative, and for the
study as a whole and for each new site considered
we value City input, preferences, and priorities. Our
team has done infrastructure and treatment system
planning for decades, including our recent work
with the West Valley Water District and Sacramento
County Water Authority among others, and you can
ask them about our approach to executing those
projects (see Relevant Experience).
Our proposed work sequence consists of:
Kick-off Meeting with the City —Review and
discuss scope of work, schedule, and work plan
for the study. We will confirm the scope of and
the intended results of the study, and the City's
available information.
aQifjne��I�fitegfic�gi f�m�i i3�fBeSi�4aS r�aie�efUr3 �Yis����J(D.S/3� Ss RFP NO. 22-133
Data Collection and Analysis —Review available
information from the City for water quality, site record
drawings, planned facility improvements, well flow -rate
capacities, reservoir information, and distribution
system operation.
Field review —Of the affected well sites with City staff
to understand the unique aspects of each site and its
operation.
Workshop No. 1—Review the list of every impacted well
the City operates and discuss the operation, system
hydraulics, flow rates/annual production, and water
quality at each. Review potential treatment scenarios
(blending, individual well site treatment, centralized
treatment) and prepare conceptual site layouts.
Alternatives Development, Site Planning —Prepare an
analysis of each well site's existing infrastructure,
hydraulics, any additional pretreatment needs, and the
most appropriate treatment system (centralized
treatment, individual well site treatment).
Workshop No. 2—Present alternative treatment
approaches for each well and preliminary site layout
alternatives. Planning level costs will be presented for
alternatives as necessary for evaluation/comparison.
Here 3D renderings could be prepared for public or City
presentations as a value-added service.
Draft Report —For the City's review, we will prepare
findings, preliminary costs, identify any impacted
stakeholders, and make recommendations regarding
groundwater well treatment alternatives and
approaches. Our analysis will include preliminary
hydraulics and additional infrastructure requirements, if
any. Planning level cost opinions will be prepared and
compared with any available funding sources the City
has along with an implementation plan and schedule
(including phasing of priority treatment sites), and a list
of required permits to design and construct the
necessary facilities for each site.
Prepare Final Report —which will incorporate the City's
review comments.
As part of our approach, we will leverage the strengths
of our local experience and industry experts to provide
a thorough planning study for the City to serve as a
roadmap for wellhead treatment. The following outlines
how our team will add value to the City:
Incorporate unique institutional knowledge
From the OCWD on -call program, Stantec's gained
knowledge allows us to evaluate and plan more efficiently
and accurately. For example:
Our team knows that recreational park locations will
require approvals from the Parks Department with the
likely support of 3D renderings. We know this does not
apply for Well 26; however, we can budget this into our
design and account for it in the schedule should this
apply to any other City wells.
We understand the electrical systems are dated at
some wells and may require upgrades. We have EA, as
the City's trusted integrator, on our team to advise of
I&C upgrades that are planned and/or necessary for
compatible system operations. Our electrical designers
know the upgrades that were necessary at Well 40 and
38, and will identify and plan for similar requirements at
other well sites.
Stantec is familiar with the PFAS Treatment Systems
Planning Study Producer Report previously prepared
through OCWD and the water quality from the wells
sampled for that study, all of which were above the NLs
for PFOA, PFOS, and the new limit for PFHxS.
Stantec's culture embraces
using first principle science
in our industry -leading water
treatment models and does not
rely on potentially biased vendor
predictions.
Identify options to accelerate schedule
We expect that schedule is important to reduce reliance
on high-priced imported water. We will discuss schedule
acceleration ideas with the City to identify where the
advantages benefit the City, such as:
Pre -purchasing vessels can avoid long fabrication lead
times due to high demand for the types of pressure
vessels used for these media -based treatment systems.
Similarly standby generators and electrical control
equipment are becoming increasingly hard to obtain.
We have helped many clients pre -procure equipment
and have standard specifications that can help us
produce pre -purchase bid packages quickly.
Our existing designs of other City sites can be
leveraged to accelerate the design schedule for any
site. We will be starting work from reviewed and proven
layouts and specifications that already incorporate the
City's preferences and standards for many design
aspects.
Water quality expertise
The Stantec team brings a variety of experience on PFAS
treatment outside of Orange County to support this
project as needed. In addition:
Our team has piloted ion exchange for PFAS treatment
City of Santa Ana I On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 8
and understands the particular challenges with
pretreatment related to iron and manganese in
groundwater and will evaluate this at each well to
determine whether pretreatment is needed.
Stantec has partnered with Johns Hopkins University
laboratory and is experienced in analytical water quality
protocols and analytical techniques. We can assist with
additional PFAS sampling plans for City wells, if needed.
Our team brings leading -edge industry knowledge in
PFAS regulations and treatment and will leverage this
industry knowledge for the City's benefit. For example,
we recommend designing the IX vessels to support use
with alternative medias or GAC, if future use of
alternative media becomes more favorable. We are
currently using this design concept for our project in
Tempe, Arizona.
We are aware of and track emerging PFAS regulations —
our team closely follows recent public health goals from
the EPA and the anticipated MCLs from EPA for PFOA
and PFOS, and the newly announced NLs and RLs for
PFHxS; along with five other PFAS compounds currently
on California's list of future regulations. This knowledge
can help determine appropriate treatment schemes and
better prepare the City for the future.
Optimization tools
We have considerable experience developing, designing,
and implementing water treatment technologies and
removal effectiveness of PFAS compounds to non -detect
levels. In addition, we have developed a specific tool
to evaluate the use of GAC or IX as the base treatment
system. As part of our due diligence associated with each
project, we will develop a preliminary design analysis for
the new treatment processes using our IX Design Tool
and can evaluate GAC using a similar tool if desired.
The information developed from the treatment modeling
efforts will be incorporated into the site development
analysis regarding site footprints and equipment
arrangements.
As a cost -saving approach, performed for other systems,
we will also consider use of vessel side taps to monitor
the contamination "wave front" as it accumulates in the
bed. This advantage is that in some instances, it may
be plausible to use only single pass vessels in parallel,
reducing the number of vessels by half. This concept has
already been approved by the Division of Drinking Water
(DDW) for volatile organic compounds treatment systems.
We are adept at comparing alternatives for cost-
effectiveness, for example evaluating individual well site
treatment versus centralized treatment. In some cases,
the more cost-effective approach is obvious. When its
At LADWP's existing, dense North Hollywood Central
location —innovation and collaborative design were keys to
success for this 25-MGD groundwater treatment plant
worth evaluating, we have spreadsheet models that will
calculate the capital costs for treatment, conveyance,
pumping for decentralized versus centralized scenarios.
We also have a team within Stantec who can identify and
analyze candidate parcels using GIS and then perform
market analyses based on real estate information to help
estimate land acquisition costs. The output is life -cycle
cost comparisons that reveals the more cost-effective
alternative. We most recently performed this evaluation for
MWD's regional water reuse program and can apply this
tool during the planning phase of your project if needed.

Design Phase
After the planning study has concluded, Stantec will
proceed with the various stages of preliminary and
detailed design, initially for Well 26. As one of the largest
water treatment design consultants in the world, we plan
to use local in-house staff to execute our designs, with
the exception of geotechnical and control/automation
services. We maintain all other necessary design
disciplines, including full survey services, along with
architectural and landscape services, if needed. This
affords the ability to quickly assemble design teams
familiar with each other and streamlines communication
throughout the design process.
Prclimin,ry nneinn Pi
An important element in design is regular
communication: It is critical that our design team and
City staff engage in early and frequent communication.
Stantec will prioritize the thorough review of all record
drawings, a complete investigation and documentation of
existing site features, and interviewing City engineering
and operations staff to understand the state of existing
facilities as completely as possible. This information will
form the basis of our team's design concepts and will be
revisited at each design stage to minimize the potential
for unexpected design and construction costs. As we
have learned during the design and construction of the
Well 40 and 38 sites under the OCWD on -call contract,
particular areas of interest that require identification
during the early stages of design include:
Site access and 0&M constraints and considerations
Location of existing City owned and private utilities
within the project site
Age/condition of existing mechanical and electrical
equipment
System hydraulics analysis
Any planned site improvements or expansions
To demonstrate and document our understanding of the
design constraints, criteria, and objectives, we will prepare
a design report that evaluates the proposed alternatives
from the planning study against these standards. The
report preparation consists of the following:
Survey and Base Map Preparation: Monuments will be
observed to retrace the extents of any easements and
the centerlines and nearby streets right of ways within
the project limits. Of particular importance to the Well
26 site is the verification of any easements associated
with the railway behind the property. The results will be
incorporated into a base -map illustrating existing
right-of-way conditions. Available agency research, prior
surveys, and assessor parcel maps will be used to
prepare the base map.
Information Collection: First and foremost, we will
request, collect, and document all City, private utility,
and public utility records and documentation as
described in the previous paragraphs. The planning
study will be reviewed to identify the proposed
alternatives and design criteria. After review of the
collected records, we will engage the City as needed for
additional input on the project design criteria and goals.
Preliminary Design Report Preparation: The report will
consist of an existing conditions description and
evaluation, the project's design criteria and other
objectives, proposed design alternatives, geotechnical
findings, required controls modifications, and Stantec's
recommendations.
Preliminary Design Review: Stantec will submit the
Preliminary Design Report to the City for review. A
review workshop will be held with City staff and the
Stantec team. The goal of this preliminary design
review is to verify Stantec's understanding of the
existing facilities and City's specific design objectives,
as well as to confirm the City's agreement with the
presented recommendations.
Final Design Report: Based on the feedback obtained
from the preliminary design review, we will prepare a
Final Design Report that will form the foundation and
guidelines for detailed project design. At this time, the
preferred design alternatives will be selected, and all
design recommendations will be finalized to establish a
clear direction for thef the project's design.
The submission and acceptance of the Final Design
Report will complete the preliminary design phase. All
identified major design questions, criteria, and risks
will have been answered, addressed, and mitigated at
this point to help ensure the smooth completion of the
detailed design, bidding, and construction phases.
Detailed Design Phase
Following the framework established by the Final Design
Report and 30 Percent Design documents, Stantec will
prepare a detailed and coordinated set of construction
documents (CDs). To verify production of the highest -
quality CDs, Stantec will employ a robust quality
assurance and control (QA/QC) program at each level
of document submittal. The QA/QC program will review
all design calculations, check for compliance with state
and local regulations, verify the design is coordinated
with existing site constraints, and cross check between
the discipline drawings and specifications to coordinate
design requirements between the documents. This QA/
City of Santa Ana I On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 10
QC program paired with City review of the progress submittal
packages will minimize construction conflicts and reduce
redesign efforts.
More specific considerations that will be prioritized during
the detailed design include standardization, nuisance noise
reduction, and construction schedule optimization. Stantec's
recent and on -going experience with the design and construction
of four IX groundwater treatment facility sites under the
OCWD on -call contract has provided us with valuable lessons
learned and insight needed to focus on these specific design
considerations and the City's preferences, as follows:
Standardization: Since the City already has multiple IX
wellhead treatment projects underway with the OCWD on -call
contract, standardization of the equipment to minimize spare
parts inventory and simplify the City's 0&M will be a high
priority for the design of future IX treatment systems.
However, Stantec recognizes that sole -sourcing major
equipment for the sake of standardization can result in less
competitive pricing from vendors. To keep equipment costs as
competitive as possible and still achieve a reasonable level of
standardization, we will explore equivalent products with
compatible consumable and/or wearable components. One
example would be researching alternative manufacturers for
the cartridge filter housing that use the same size and style
filter elements. Additionally, limiting the types and pre -
approved manufacturers of mechanical equipment, such as
valves, pumps, and special fittings will also be explored. By
narrowing the field of pre -approved manufacturers and
prioritizing the compatibility of components, we can optimize
the relationship of equipment standardization and market
competition to balance competitive capital costs with minimal
0&M inventory and expenses. Similarly, it is important that the
design conforms with the City's standard design guidelines
and construction details to simplify 0&M and help ensure
compatibility with existing City systems.
Nuisance Noise Reduction: Many of the City's well sites are
located in public areas and/or near residential properties. The
addition of equipment —such as pumps, motors, and
generators —may produce nuisance noise. We will design noise
barriers (screening walls), sound attenuating enclosures, and
other acoustical dampening systems that will meet the City's
municipal code requirements at the property line. Addressing
noise reduction will help prevent complaints from adjacent
residents and will reduce the amount of attention drawn
toward the facility's operation.
Construction Schedule Optimization: To prevent the need to
augment the City's water supply with expensive imported
water The current, and rapidly growing, list of notification and
response levels necessitates prompts speedy action by the
City. Selected design consultant(s), and contractor(s) will

need to address and mitigate PFAS compounds at —all
affected, and even unaffected —well sites. Pairing this
urgent need with the lingering effects of a disrupted
supply chain, and the City's ability to produce its own
water may be impacted for a significant time. During
the detailed design phase, Stantec will work with
equipment vendors and material suppliers to help
determine the availability and lead times of critical
design features. With this information and an
anticipated construction sequence, we will incorporate
the most available materials to minimize potential delay
in the overall construction schedule. Stantec will also
develop detailed construction sequencing and duration
requirements within the technical specifications to
provide the City with as much control as possible over
the schedule. This will help reduce the amount of time
the City may need to import water while a well (or group
of wells) are not operational during construction.
At the completion of the detailed design phases, Stantec
will provide the City with a complete set of bidding and
CDs for advertising to contractors.
Bidding Phase
To promote a timely and successful bidding process, it is
imperative that the City, with the design team's assistance,
respond to all inquiries promptly and thoroughly. This
provides the bidders the most possible time to review
bidding documents and addenda to prepare an accurate
bid with as little ambiguity as possible. To accomplish
this, Stantec would record and document all questions
posed during the pre -bid meeting, as well, as all questions
submitted via other channels. An addendum (if needed)
would be created and issued, with the City's input, within
one week of the pre -bid meeting. The need for additional
addenda would be determined after this point and would
be expedited to as much as practically possible.
Designing for Operabilty, Life -cycle costs
Cartridge Filters
Prior to treatment, IX filters require removal of suspended
solids from the raw water to avoid blinding the media bed,
which extends the life of the media. Industry standard is
a prefiltration process with five micron rated filters. This
filtration step will be accomplished using horizontal, high -
flow cartridge filters, which provide the following benefits:
• Horizontal orientation allows for ease of access
and change out of filters at chest height, protecting
operator safety and reducing the time required per
change out
• Access at ground level eliminates the need for raised
platforms, reducing cost, and
maintenance
P
• Significantly reduces
number of units, as higher
flow housings, reduce
construction costs, and
improve efficiency of filter
change out
• All filters use the same
cartridge filter element,
allowing for ease of
purchase, storage, and
replacement for all sites
• Piping will be routed
underground, improving
access
Mass to be removed, Ibs
The number and size of cartridge filters are designed to
evenly distribute flow between filters, while providing the
capability for N+1 redundancy at each site.
Cartridge filters are preferred in lieu of bag filters as they
offer a higher surface area, reducing the rate of increase
in differential pressure, which effectively increases their
dirt holding capacity between exchanges. Our example
of life -cycle cost analysis is shown below. The labor is
significantly reduced based on number of filters and ease
of replacement (horizontal vs. vertical) resulting in a better
value to the City for a life -cycle efficient design.

Construction Phase
Engineering services during construction (ESDC) for this project will
serve a multi -purposed role including verification of conformance to
the design intent, facilitation of discussion and conflict resolution,
protection of the City's interests, and record keeping. Construction
activities can move very quickly, complicating these roles. To avoid this
and meet the requirements of the above -mentioned role, we will take
the following steps:
Organization: With a flurry of communications occurring during the
construction process, it is easy to lose track of outstanding or
pending items. A highly organized system of documenting and
tracking construction submittals, requests for information (RFI),
change orders, transmittals, and the like is one of the most important
ways of ensuring a that "everything stays within our radar." We
propose using construction management software, such as Procore,
to provide all parties access to real time information in one
convenient location. This would provide ease of mind and
transparency for the City as well as help keep the project on
schedule.
Proactive Communication: Frequent communication among all
parties helps builds the trust and confidence to keep a project on
schedule. As we have demonstrated during the construction of Well
40, Stantec will engage the City, contractor, and any construction
management personnel via emails, phone calls, and/or conference
calls as necessary to verify all parties are on the same page to lead
the project toward successful completion. For example, during Well
40 construction, Stantec submittal and RFI response time was
usually significantly less than allowed by the specifications.
Prioritization: Construction projects move quickly. We respond
thoroughly to communications, submittals, RFI, and change orders,
as we understand these have the potential to cost the contractor
and/or the City either time, money, or both. For Well 40 construction
and all of our projects under construction, our team prioritizes
construction related work. Furthermore, we will communicate with
the contractor to prioritize select equipment submittals, RFI, and
change orders over other items for this project to facilitate time -
sensitive items.
After the contractor has determined they have substantially
completed project construction, we will inspect the work to confirm its
conformance to the design intent. We will use our experience from the
ongoing OCWD on -call contract to guide the successful commissioning
of the facility.

TASKS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
Scope of Services
The following defines our scope of services included
within this proposal and our fee estimate.
1. PLANNING STUDY AND CONSULTING
SERVICES
The Stantec team will perform a Planning Study for the
City in which the number of wells impacted by PFAS, their
location, and areas available for a treatment system(s)
and site access will be examined. The Planning Study will
assess how the treatment system(s) would be integrated
into the City's existing operations, help determine
whether a centralized treatment plant is feasible for
combining wells, provide alternative design options,
assess the potential for blending, provide initial support
for permitting and develop capital costs associated
with potential land acquisition, permitting, pipeline
connections and system integration.
The scope of work consists of the following for the
Planning Study:
A. MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIE
Stantec will conduct project management activities to
facilitate adherence to budget and schedule. Our team will
coordinate and attend meetings with City staff during the
planning study, consisting of the following: one project
kick off, two planning workshops, one review meeting for
the draft report. These meetings will be held virtually via
Microsoft Teams except the kick-off meeting, assuming
this is the City's preference. Stantec will provide minutes
for each meeting as well as biweekly progress updates to
the City.
B. WELL ASSESSMENT AND INITIAL TREATMENT
DESIGN
Stantec will review information provided by the City on the
City's groundwater conveyance systems, impacted wells,
reservoirs, imported water connections. Our team will
conduct site visits per the City's request to help determine
available area of land for the PFAS treatment system(s),
which are assumed to be able to be completed in two full
days. Stantec will assess how the treatment system(s)
will be integrated into the City's existing operations. We
will also review existing and available information on
the City's historical PFAS bench- and pilot -scale testing,
as well as historical Planning Studies performed and
existing PFAS treatment facility layouts, and adhere to the
standards set therein.
In the preliminary Planning Study, the Stantec team will
provide a conceptual layout for each requested location
by the City based on existing ion exchange (IX) treatment
systems (Aqueous Vets System rated for 150 PSI). For all
IX wellhead treatment designs, we will include cartridge
filter pre-treatment, a sand separator, IX lead -lag system
capable of addressing the well(s)'s gallon per minute
capacity, an emergency generator, and an additional
sound attenuated booster pump to combat the head loss
experienced through the new treatment system.
C. PERMIT ASSESSMENT
Stantec will perform an initial permitting assessment to
understand any requirements, as well as develop a list of
required permits (including permit description, issuing
regulatory agency, summary of permit requirements, and
permit acquisition timelines).
D. FEASIBILITY STUDY
The Planning Study will include a feasibility study in which
we will investigate hydraulic conditions of existing wells
and help determine what modifications to existing well
pumps and booster pumps will be necessary, if any, for
the installation of the proposed PFAS wellhead treatment
facilities.
E. COST ESTIMATES
Stantec will provide an opinion of probable construction
costs (OPCC) for the treatment facility equipment,
any necessary land acquisition to accommodate a
treatment system(s), permitting, plumbing connections,
transmission alignments and system integration. Stantec
will also provide capital, maintenance and operation cost
estimates for IX treatment system(s).
F. PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE
Stantec will develop a preliminary phasing schedule for
construction in the Planning Study. The plan is intended to
provide the City a schedule and projected annual outlays
for financial planning. In the preliminary schedule, we will
include the anticipated duration of construction, as well
as utility extensions required.
G. FINAL REPORT
The final report will consist of a summary of the planning
study items listed herein and will be submitted to the City
for review and comments. We will provide a PDF digital
copy of the preliminary report and shall incorporate
comments made by the City prior final report submission.
Our final report will also include a summary of major
City of Santa Ana I On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 14
findings, any significant challenges or common themes
relevant to the City's system. We will recommend future
actions by the City as next steps toward PFAS treatment
implementation. The report will contain descriptions of
operation and maintenance for the treatment systems
such as IX resin frequency of change out, sample/
analysis frequency, and whether additional staff and
training is required. We have assumed the planning study
will evaluate all 21 City groundwater wells. We know that
four Wells (18, 24, 36, and 39) at the Garthe Station are
impacted by PFAS, and the RFP identifies Well 26 as also
impacted. For budgeting purposes, in addition to these
two sites, we assume we will investigate up to three
additional sites for treatment.
2. DESIGN PHASE
Once the Planning Study has been completed, Stantec
will provide design services, including preparation of
design drawings, specifications, OPCC, and permitting
requirements. All submittals described herein will be
provided in the form of a PDF digital copy (full-size). The
design phases will include the following items:
A. Draft Design Report (10 Percent Design
Submittal)
Key technical staff from the Stantec design team will
attend a site visit to observe the existing conditions.
Above -ground utilities, structures, adjacent property types,
site access, and available space will be observed and
documented for reference during the design development.
Stantec will perform a desktop review of all available
record drawings from the City and other local utilities.
Our team will develop a Preliminary Design Report that
identifies alternative layouts and potential risks based
on the site visit, criteria and constraints identified by the
planning study, and the results of the desktop review of
record drawings. The Preliminary Design Report will be
submitted to the City for review to identify the preferred
design alternative(s).
Survey and Base Map Preparation: Monuments will be
observed to retrace the extents of any easements and
the centerlines and right of ways of nearby streets
within the project limits. Of particular importance to the
Well 26 site is the verification of any easements
associated with the railway located behind the property.
The results will be incorporated into a base -map
illustrating existing right-of-way conditions. Available
agency research, prior surveys, and assessor parcel
maps will be used to prepare the base map.
Current aerial topography and existing planimetrics
data will be obtained for the sites. The photography will
be flown for use at a scale of 1" = 20', with contours
at 1-foot intervals. Spot elevations and existing site
features identifiable from photography will also be
compiled.
Geotechnical Services: Our subconsultant, Leighton,
will conduct a detailed review of geotechnical reports
and publications relevant to the project site(s) that are
available in their in-house library and the public domain,
using as much available subsurface information as
possible to reduce time and effort in the geotechnical
field exploration. Areas where subsurface data are
lacking, additional field exploration and laboratory
testing will be conducted. Once additional work is
approved, encroachment permits, where necessary, and
utility clearance will be obtained.
The field exploration may include borings, cone
penetration testing soundings, test pits, and
geophysical survey, depending on the subsurface soil
and groundwater conditions, proposed project, and site
access and conditions. Representative soil samples
will be collected at selected depths from the borings
and/or test pits and transported to the laboratory for
testing. Geotechnical analyses will be performed in
accordance with the most recent codes and procedures
required by local, state, and federal agencies.
Analyses will include evaluation and mitigation of
seismic hazards (e.g. strong seismic shaking from
an earthquake, earthquake -induced landslides, and
liquefaction), geologic hazards (e.g., soft soils, shallow
groundwater, and slope instability), and corrosion
potential of concrete and metal in contact with soils.
Recommendations for seismic design parameters,
foundation design, lateral earth pressures and
frictional resistance for retaining wall design, pavement
structural sections, and earthwork will be developed
as needed. The findings and recommendations will
be presented in a formal report that will be signed
and stamped by a California -licensed geotechnical
engineer. Leighton can also provide geotechnical
observation and testing during construction for quality
control/assurance purposes.
Utility Research: Stantec will search existing utilities in
the area and along proposed street alignments if
conveyance is required. We will prepare a utility contact
spreadsheet listing potential utilities and log
information requests and when data has been received.
A utility plan will denote existing above and below
ground utilities to help determine on -site utility
arrangements.

B. Final Design Report (30 Percent Design
Submittal)
The Stantec team will review and respond to the City's
comments and feedback on the Preliminary Design Report
and incorporate feedback into the Final Design Report.
The report will include further development of preferred
alternative(s), preliminary hydraulic analysis, preliminary
electrical system analysis, preliminary control system
analysis, and identification of necessary permitting
requirements. At this time, Stantec will prepare 30 percent
design documents consisting of 30 percent drawings, a list
of anticipated technical specification sections, a Class 3
OPCC, and an updated design schedule. A discussion of
any prepurchase items will also be documented. The Final
Design Report will be submitted to the City for review and
comment.
C. 60 Percent Design Submittal
After the Final Design Report approval, Stantec will
incorporate any City comments into the 60 percent design
documents. These drawings will generally include final
site plans, yard piping plan and profiles, general structural
details, structural sections, equipment lists, mechanical
plans and sections, general electrical details, electrical
single lines and equipment elevations, cable and conduit
schedules, control schematics, general instrumentation
details, and P&IDs. The 60 percent specification package
will include draft versions of the technical specification
sections. A Class 2 OPCC will be prepared for the 60
percent design package. The project schedule will be
updated with current design deliverable dates, anticipated
biding phase dates, the estimated construction duration,
and the estimated system start-up date. Prepurchase
items will have necessary plans and specifications
prepared for bidding and early procurement.
D. 90 Percent Design Submittal
Upon 60 percent design approval, Stantec will incorporate
any City comments into the 90 percent design documents.
A complete set of detailed design drawings and finalized

The final specification package will include complete City
front-end documents, technical specification sections,
and appendices. Final specifications will be provided
in a compiled PDF document with relevant sections
bookmarked. Final updated versions of the Class 2 OPCC
and project schedule will be provided.
Bid Phase
Stantec will provide technical support during the bid
phase. We will attend a pre -bid job walk and pre -bid
meeting with prospective contractors. During the bid
period we will address bidder's questions and RFI and
prepare up to two project addenda. We assume 20 hours
will be needed to address contractor questions during
the bid period. If requested, Stantec can assist with
contractor prequalification, and with providing documents
on the PlanetBids Portal.
Construction Phases
During construction we will respond to RFI or
clarifications, review shop drawing submittals, review
requests for construction change orders, and assist
with final inspection of the work. A final set of as -built
drawings derived from the contractor's red line drawings
will also be prepared. The following quantities are
assumed for the Engineering Services During Construction
based on recent similar projects:
Up to 15 contractor RFIs will be reviewed and responses
prepared
Up to 100 shop drawing submittals and resubmittals
will be reviewed
Up to 5 construction change orders will be reviewed
Up to 10 meetings will be attended as needed in the
field to address design questions and conduct
structural inspections
Two final inspection site visits will be attended
One punch list will be generated from the final
inspection
D. CODE COMPLIANCE
All materials and workmanship shall be in strict
conformity with federal, state and local codes,
requirements, standards of the latest editions, and
guidelines, including revisions of the following:
+ California Building Code (CBC)
+ American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
+ American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM)
+ Department of Transportation (DOT)
+ California State Water Resources Control Board
+ Department of Drinking Water (DDW)
+ South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
+ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
+ Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
E. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
When a request for service is issued to the City, we will
issue a fee estimate to the City's designated Project
Manager. Stantec will not proceed with any work without
the approval of the City's designated Project Manager in
the form of a NTP.
We will invoice the City on a monthly basis for all work
performed during the period or provide a one-time invoice
at the completion of work issued. Each invoice shall be
accompanied by a summary of tasks performed, contract
agreement number, results and progress on long-term
tasks if any.
3D renderings from Stantec's ongoing projects with OCIND on
City of Santa Ana infrastructure helps stakeholders visualize the
final treatment facility. Our team has worked closely with you to
define technical treatment elements, as well as architectural and
landscaping requirements.
City of Santa Ana I On -Call Engineering Design Services for PFAS Treatment Systems RFP NO. 22-133 17
SUGGESTIONS OR SPECIAL CONCERNS THE CITY SHOULD
BE AWARE OF
F. VALUE ADDED RELATED SERVICES
In addition to the above scope items, Stantec proposes
the City consider the following additional related services
These value added services are not included in our fee
schedule, upon request we will provide an additional fee
schedule for any items the City decides to include.
3D Renderings
Stantec can prepare three-dimensional renderings of up to
ten views of the PFAS treatment system design for a given
site for use in City presentations or public stakeholder
meetings to illustrate the visual look and feel of the new
facilities.
2. DDW Permit Assistance
Amended Permit Assistance: In close coordination and
with information and input from the City for specific
topics, we can prepare an engineering report for DDW
permit amendment for the planned system modifications
to be submitted by the City. This review will evaluate the
system background and recent analytical history, purpose,
and reason for system changes, proposed treatment
equipment additions, chemical additions, conveyance
changes, and anticipated operational changes. Stantec
will respond to and incorporate one round of DDW
comments and attend two meetings with DDW.
Operations Maintenance and Monitoring Plan (OMMP):
Stantec can prepare an updated OMMP in coordination
with the City for the new treatment system, which is
required by DDW to obtain the amended permit. Stantec
will prepare a draft version of the OMMP for submission
by the City to DDW, and Stantec will respond to and
incorporate one round of DDW comments and attend two
meetings with DDW.
3. Electrical Equipment Replacement
As encountered during the OCWD on -call contract, many
of the City's existing well sites are powered by aged
electrical equipment that may be either undersized for
the new electrical demands, or past its useful service life.
As seen in the Well 26 record drawings provided with the
RFP, the existing Motor Control Center (MCC) is more than
50 years old. While this MCC appears to have adequate
capacity for the addition of a booster pump, it would likely
prohibit the addition of at least one of the 125 horsepower
future pumps. It is our experience that the City generally
prefers to upgrade this older equipment. As such,
Stantec can replace the Well 26 MCC with new electrical
equipment as part of the design.
4.Chemical System Upgrades
It is unclear from the Well 26 record drawings what type
of chemical disinfection systems are present and what
their current state is. If the equipment is in need of
replacement, then we can incorporate a similar system as
provided at the City's Well 38.
5. Construction Inspection Services
As is currently being provided for the construction of Well
40, Stantec can provide part-time construction inspection
services and special inspection services (compaction
results, concrete compressive strength testing, welding
inspection, and structural observations). These services
would relieve the time requirements for City staff during
construction.
6. Prepurchase Procurement Package for IX
System and Emergency Generator
Stantec can prepare technical specifications to support
the prepurchase of IX vessels and/or an emergency
generator for a given site. This will be a single
procurement package. The City will provide their standard
purchase agreement, front ends, and request for proposal
and Stantec will assist with compiling a complete and
coordinated procurement packages for bidding. Stantec
will answer technical questions during bidding and
provide a technical evaluation of submitted bid proposals.

Groundwater Contamination Education Materials*
Municipal Urban Stormwater Treatment Facility
(LB MUST) I City of Long Beach I Long Beach,
California I Process Engineer
Water traveling through the City storm drain system
contains a series of pollutants, including bacteria,
hydrocarbons, metals, and trash that are currently
discharged to the Los Angeles River without
treatment. By intercepting, diverting, and treating the
dry weather urban runoff and the first flush of
rainwater runoff, the new LB MUST facility will reduce
pollution that would otherwise discharge into the
River. The recycled water from the LB MUST Facility
will help create and sustain riparian wetland habitat
and replace potable water for the irrigation of parks.
Tori helped operate a pilot study that demonstrated
the ability of the treatment train including ceramic
ultrafiltration, iron removal filtration, and advanced
oxidation to meet water quality goals and provided
important insights about removal of metals and solids

The District is connecting two currently separate
service areas of their distribution system. This will
provide new sources of water to an existing service
area and replace several aging wells. The District
engaged Stantec to evaluate potential issues with
corrosivity during the water supply transition. Tori
supported a study to use Stantec-developed water
quality tools and conceptual frameworks to evaluate a
wide array of potential indicators of corrosion. Tori
analyzed water quality data; calculated corrosion
indices for the current and the proposed water
sources; and identified potential adverse impacts to
the system and strategies for mitigating them. Tod
and the Stantec team considered practical constraints
of chemical conditioning and source water blending
as corrosion mitigation strategies and held workshops
with the District to identify the best strategies to
reduce corrosion risk while minimizing changes to
their existing treatment and distribution systems.
Industrial Groundwater Treatment Feasibility Analysis
Confidential Client I Missouri I Process Engineer
A confidential industrial client is expanding its system
for treatment of contaminated groundwater from two
underlying aquifer units. The shallow aquifer has
elevated concentrations of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), metals, and 1,4-dioxane; the
deep aquifer has elevated levels of VOCs. Currently,
groundwater from both aquifer units is treated using
air strippers with effluent discharged to the sanitary
sewer (shallow aquifer) and reinjected (deep aquifer).
Tori and the Stantec team are developing guidance
for expansion of the existing treatment facilities to
increase the flow capacity to bring additional wells
online, and to add ion exchange, adsorption using
granular activated carbon, and ultraviolet oxidation
processes to treat for metals and 1,4-dioxane in the
shallow aquifer.

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, UCMR5 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 HAS 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 HAS 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 HAS treatment system
designs for multiple groundwater wells within OCWD's service area. Their knowledge and experience designing
EEC Environmental 1 November 17, 2022
and permitting PFAS treatment systems is indispensable. Our combined expertise brings a dedicated team of
professionals that the City can count on to see this project through to successful completion.
Our proposed Project Manager is Will Shaffer. Will has been working directly with the City on PFAS projects
for years and works out of our headquarters in Orange, California, just a short drive to the Public Works office.
This project will be solely managed out of this location and EEC will be the single point of contact and will work
seamlessly with City staff.

DUnderstanding Scope of Services
D.1 ANTICIPATED APPROACH
Outline of Tasks
For a detailed outline of expected tasks and deliverables to complete the proposed scope of work, please refer to Section G
Scope of Work below.
On -Call Engineering Approach
EEC is experienced in providing as -needed, on -call engineering support for multiple cities and agencies throughout
Southern California. Our rapid response and commitment to client engagement allow us to provide the highest level of
service to Santa Ana by gaining a clear understanding of the City's needs as quickly as possible. This is critical for on -call
contracts which often require rapid mobilization or quick -turn design services to solve emergent and urgent needs. Namely,
the loss in groundwater production capacity due to impacted wells within the City presents an urgent need to deliver cost-
effective treatment solutions as soon as possible. EEC is already providing effective on -call engineering and planning
services for all of Santa Ana's PFAS needs and will continue to do so for this project.
Project Management Approach
We pride ourselves on our Principal involvement in projects, particularly when they involve challenging technical and
regulatory issues such as PFAS treatment. Depending on the project, EEC Principals Jim Kolk and John Shaffer have been
working side by side with Project Manager Will Shaffer and Santa Ana staff to ensure that each project was managed
efficiently. This continued Principal involvement ensures that projects are well managed from start to finish. A brief
discussion of EEC's approach to various project aspects is presented below.
Planning
EEC approaches each project with a partnership mentality. We do not simply operate in a vacuum delivering the minimum
needs of a Client within the prescribed timeframe. We will work with Santa Ana to understand your unique needs and
requirements for each project and develop a plan in tandem with the City that meets, and usually exceeds, those needs.
Timely workshops throughout the project lifecycle will facilitate open discussions with the City and input from all parties
involved. Takeaways from these workshops will be documented in the overall project plan and tracked against for the life
of the project. Additionally, EEC's unique knowledge of Santa Ana's current PFAS planning will provide a jump start
towards planning for this project.
Communication
Any good partnership requires clear and effective communication. EEC understands that clear and effective communication
leads to a successful project. Therefore, Will Shaffer will operate as EEC's Project Manager and Single Point of Contact as
he has been for the PFAS consulting services currently being supplied to the City. Santa Ana will always have a direct line
of communication to the entire EEC Team through Will Shaffer. Likewise, Will Shaffer will maintain open lines of
communication with the City, providing regular project updates that keep the City up to speed on every project at any time.
This approach will eliminate the potential for miscommunication or redundant communications, thus saving the City time
and costs due to project errors.
EEC's Orange office is only a few miles from the City's offices which makes it very easy to attend or host project meetings
in person. Also, as EEC has done successfully with our current PFAS services to Santa Ana, EEC will continue to host
regular Zoom meetings to facilitate effective and efficient communication within project teams. Lessons learned during the
COVID-19 pandemic have streamlined internal communications and reduced time spent in redundant or unnecessary
meetings. Project data is shared instantly, and project update meetings can take place anywhere, and at any time. This allows
for faster response times and streamlined processes that result in reduced project timelines and cost savings.
EEC Environmental 7 November 17, 2022
Schedule
For emerging and urgent problems like PFAS, schedule is ever more critical. EEC understands the City's need to bring
PFAS treatment systems online expeditiously to reduce increased operating costs from Metropolitan Water District (MWD)
water purchases. Therefore, our Project Manager's top priority will be to maintain an aggressive project timeline and ensure
that the City's needs are met in a timely manner.
EEC utilizes Microsoft Project and the latest project management software to track and forecast project schedules. EEC will
update the City on project schedules regularly. We will identify opportunities to reduce project timelines, when possible,
and track long -lead, critical path items that may have adverse effects on project timelines. Wherever possible, we will
identify project alternatives that reduce long -lead timelines.
Cost Management
At its core, the installation of PFAS treatment systems at City wells is a cost saving measure. Santa Ana has the option to
continually provide safe, clean drinking water to its citizens by supplementing its potable water supply with MWD import.
However, that imported water comes at a much higher price. Therefore, building PFAS treatment systems for the City's
groundwater production wells allows the City to provide clean drinking water at a lower cost.
With that in mind, it is critical to manage this project's budget to avoid cost overruns to provide Santa Ana's citizens with
the best value water possible. EEC utilizes engineering cost management software to track project budgets and manage
costs. EEC provides monthly budget updates, at a minimum, to the City and identifies any and all opportunities to reduce
project costs without compromising project goals.
Resource Allocation
Along with a strong EEC staff of highly qualified engineers and scientists that provides multiple layers of resource support,
EEC has supplemented our capabilities by teaming with KJ. KJ brings a deep and diverse team of professionals that, when
paired with EEC's in-house capabilities, has more than sufficient availability to meet peak project workloads. Incorporating
personnel availability with project schedule projections, EEC is able to ensure that there are enough available designers,
engineers, and professionals to continually meet project demands and deliver on time.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
A quality assurance (QA) program will be implemented with quality control (QC) processes at every step of the project.
This process includes periodic reviews at predetermined stages during the planning and execution phases. Will Shaffer,
Project Manager, will ensure that all the required elements are effectively incorporated into the project and that routine
verification is performed. All reports and presentations will be reviewed internally for content and format. Additionally,
EEC has developed a formal QA program to ensure timely and efficient delivery of the tasks involved in a project.
As part of the QA program, EEC will develop and implement a quality control plan (QCP). The QCP establishes the
requirements of the project and includes technical areas of responsibility for each staff member. In addition, the procedures
that will be employed to assess compliance with appropriate laws, regulations, policies, and technical review protocols will
be identified. All work will be accomplished with adequate internal controls and review procedures to eliminate conflicts,
errors, and omissions to ensure the technical accuracy of the work for the project. The QCP will include activities appropriate
for managing the quality of the project based on the anticipated planning and complexity of the project features.
Additionally, EEC will utilize the decades of experience of Dr. Dennis Kasper, and John Shaffer's unique understanding of
PFAS, to ensure that every project deliverable meets or exceeds stringent quality standards. Santa Ana has witnessed
firsthand EEC's attention to quality assurance on numerous projects over the years, including our PFAS services.
PFAS Treatment System Design Approach
EEC's unique understanding of Santa Ana's production and conveyance systems, combined with KJ's experience in
designing full scale, municipal PFAS treatment systems, allows the EEC team to bring a holistic approach to designing
Santa Ana's PFAS treatment systems. Lessons learned in EEC's and Santa Ana's discussions with other Orange County
Producers, coupled with KJ's learned experience designing the first municipal PFAS treatment system in Southern
California, will inform the planning and design of the PFAS systems at every stage.
EEC Environmental 8 November 17, 2022
EEC will implement feedback received during our monthly PFAS meetings over the last two years from Santa Ana engineers
and operators. We will also incorporate lessons learned from the site visits to YLWD and Fullerton into the design of Santa
Ana treatment systems. Lastly, EEC will involve Santa Ana engineers and operators at every stage of the system design.
This holistic and collaborative approach ensures the final system will be operator -friendly and meet Santa Ana's needs.
A detailed discussion of our team's approach to system design is spelled out in Section G Scope of Work below. However,
several key considerations learned during our previous work with Santa Ana are highlighted below:
Minimize treatment system footprint when possible at park locations to mitigate the taking of public park spaces
Consider truck access for maintenance and media change outs
o For example, the treatment system layouts in the Basis of Design Technical Memorandum (BODTM) for
Well 38 did not facilitate easy access and would require traffic control and temporary street closures to
execute media change outs.
Evaluate site drainage for stormwater, but more
importantly for the full flushing flow rates of all vessels
during commissioning
o Flushing drainage was not properly directed to
the house -keeping pad inlets at Well 40 which
will likely result in nuisance splashing during
flushing.
o The on -site drainage at Well 40 was not sized
properly to convey the full flushing flow during �. 1
commissioning, likely resulting in on -site or
off -site (park) flooding.
o Assess 24/7 flushing flows and volumes against '•,� '
OCFCD permits and points of discharge
Involve DDW early and often in the design, permitting,
commissioning, and treatment media selection
processes.
Perform a private utility locate survey during design to locate undocumented utilities on site. As-builts are unreliable
for many sites.
Collaborative effort (involve SA engineers, operators, maintenance) to develop schematic level design drawings
identifying major project needs
Bid Support and Construction Administration Approach
EEC is an experienced design -builder (EEC maintains a Class A HAZ General Engineering Contractor's license), and we
are proud that our projects are designed with a focus on constructability. However, questions are always raised during the
bidding phase.
The EEC Team will assist the City in answering these questions, attend pre -bid conferences and job walks, prepare
addendums, and analyze bids to facilitate a fair and effective bidding process. The EEC Team has multiple staff who have
expertise in the bidding process and will work closely with the City to ensure the right contractor is chosen. Recently, EEC
assisted the City of Santa Ana with the selection of a consultant to implement their Automated Metering Infrastructure
(AMI). EEC reviewed proposals submitted by the consultants, attended selection committee meetings, and interviewed
potential winners. EEC also assisted the City with overseeing the implementation of the AMI.
The EEC Team is available to assist the City with construction management and administration services during the
construction phase of City projects. The EEC Team will attend pre -construction conferences, will monitor the construction
schedule, and will visit construction sites for progress and quality evaluations. The EEC Team will also assist the contractor,
construction manager/contract administrator, and inspector with interpretation of plans and specifications, analysis of
changed conditions, development of corrective action, review of shop drawings and other submittals, and the review and
negotiation of change orders. The EEC Team has available technicians with decades of Auto -CAD experience to support
preparation of as -built drawings when required.

Our #1 goal is to facilitate a safe working environment while delivering a high -quality system on time and within budget.
All team members are committed to doing what it takes to ensure this goal.
System Commissioning and Start Up Approach
The project does not end until the system is fully operational, permitted, and supplying the residents of Santa Ana with
PFAS-free water.
EEC will develop a commissioning plan with buy in from City engineers and operators, the contractor, and OCWD (if
necessary). Continuous support and as appropriate on -site presence will be provided during the entirety of commissioning
to ensure a smooth start-up. There will be clear delineation of responsibilities for all parties. Lessons learned from EEC's
and Santa Ana's tours of Fullerton and Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) PFAS treatment systems will be included in
the commissioning plan including, but not limited to: continuous flushing during Bac-T sampling, well pump tax exemption
request during flushing, holistic SCADA testing, stocking additional bag filters, and other items of concern. This valuable
learned experience will translate to faster system startup and fewer complications along the way.
Value Added Services
EEC has built a sterling reputation in no small part because we are constantly looking out for our Clients' best interests. We
are not simply trying to execute the terms of the contract. We are looking for ways to bring additional value to our Clients.
That may be by providing value engineering services, pursuing outside -the -box solutions, or providing additional services
that lower long-term operational labor and costs.
To this point, the EEC Team has developed a short list of proposed scopes of work not already identified in the RFP that
will provide additional short- and long-term value to Santa Ana as you build out your domestic water treatment systems.
Bench Scale Pilot Testing
OCWD undertook the largest PFAS pilot program in the nation's history, gathering an unprecedented amount of data related
to the treatability of PFAS in drinking water supplies, and the evaluation of best available treatment technologies (namely,
GAC, IX, and novel adsorbents). OCWD has continued this work in a second phase of their pilot study.
However, the market for effective treatment media is exploding due to the exponentially growing demand for PFAS
treatment systems nationwide. Therefore, manufacturers are continually developing new GACs, IX resins, and novel
adsorbents. Not all of these technologies are being evaluated by OCWD in their pilot program. Additionally, OCWD is not
performing bench scale testing for all media (namely, IX resin) on source water from all groundwater wells within the Basin.
This data gap, coupled with the relatively cost-effective nature of bench top testing, presents an opportunity for the City to
perform its own bench scale testing of commercially available treatment media on City -selected source waters. This testing
can inform media selection decisions and estimate media change out frequencies to allocate the appropriate City budgets.
EEC proposes to utilize the unparalleled experience and capabilities of WQTS to conduct bench -scale testing of PFAS
removal with a minimum of two IX resins, and one adsorptive media for a minimum of one well's source water. All proposed
adsorbents would be commercially available with NSF61 certification for drinking water treatment application. A
preliminary scope of work is provided in Section G below. Upon request, EEC can provide a more detailed scope of work
and cost proposal to conduct the proposed study.
PFAS Waste Disposal Study
The disposal of PFAS-laden waste is a unique challenge for Producers and should be accounted for in the planning and
design stages for each project. Waste transportation and disposal of PFAS-laden waste is complicated by the unknown
regulatory environment surrounding PFAS. While not currently regulated as a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) hazardous waste, non -hazardous landfills do not currently accept PFOS or PFOA-laden waste as a protective
measure in anticipation of future regulation. Therefore, this waste must be disposed of at Class 3 hazardous waste landfills
which adds significant transportation and disposal costs. Furthermore, the potential for PFOS and PFOA to be designated
as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA),
has many generators taking proactive, conservative waste disposal measures to mitigate future potential liabilities under
CERCLA.
EEC Environmental 10 November 17, 2022
The handling and cost implications of such future regulations should be studied, and risk management strategies should be
developed, as part of a comprehensive planning approach to PFAS impacts. Santa Ana is aware of EEC's unique PFAS
waste disposal expertise and we propose to integrate waste disposal into the Planning Study scope of work. Additional cost
savings measures can be studied and identified including spent media dewatering strategies and contracting opportunities
with other Producers to allow for bulk service cost savings.
Grant Funding
The installation, operation, and ongoing maintenance of PFAS treatment systems presents a significant new cost to Santa
Ana. EEC proposes to research potential grant funding opportunities, or low interest loan opportunities, to offset or mitigate
project costs. Among other potential opportunities, EEC proposes to research Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
(DWSRF) program eligibility for project planning, design, and construction costs.
Source Investigation and Cost Recovery
The City of Santa Ana is a named plaintiff in the OCWD-led lawsuit of PFAS manufacturers over their alleged responsibility
in contaminating the Orange County Groundwater Basin (Basin) and may receive cost recovery funds from that lawsuit to
offset PFAS treatment system costs. However, the named defendants in the lawsuit may not be the only responsible parties
for local contamination within the Basin. If Santa Ana is interested, EEC can analyze existing groundwater PFAS
concentrations, hydrogeologic patterns, and available industry and land use data, to facilitate source investigation efforts to
identify potential, local sources of PFAS contamination. At their discretion, the City could then pursue cost recovery from
potentially responsible parties to offset or reimburse project costs associated with PFAS treatment.

KJ I Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency I N-Wells and Q2 Well PFAS Treatment I
Completed 2020
Team: Steve Diamond, Kajori Purkayastha, David Ferguson, Paul Post, Peter Symonds, Ed
Pascua
In response to the new PFAS regulatory levels in February 2020, approximately 45 percent
of the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency's (SCV Water) groundwater wells were removed
from service. SCV Water, along with KJ and WQTS, completed bench testing,
fast -track design, and construction on treatment of four SCV Water wells
impacted by PFAS. Three of these wells, known as the N-Wells, produce up to
6,000 gpm. The fourth well, Well Q2, has a treatment capacity of 1,200 gpm. Raw
water from Q2 well also contains perchlorate sampled above the California MCL.
Single -use Ion Exchange (IX) was selected as the preferred technology for PFAS
removal at both treatment locations. For the N Wells centralized treatment site,
the design consists of three lead -lag trains of 12-foot diameter ion exchange
vessels, or a total of 6 vessels. Pre-treatment via high -flow cartridge filtration is
also included prior to treatment. For the Q2 well, one lead -lag train utilizing two
Ion Exchange vessels was installed.
KJ completed the design of the treatment facilities and chemical feed systems in
four months and provided engineering services during a construction period of
eight months to help bring the system online by October 2020.

GScope of Work
Background and Assumptions:
• Well 26 production capacity is <2,000 gpm.
• Well 26 currently pumps to the 38-foot maximum water level in the existing 6.0 MG East Reservoir (a ground level
steel tank).
• A sand separator will be installed on the existing well discharge.
• A 12-inch connection to the existing 12-inch by-pass around the north end of the 6 MG East Reservoir will be used
to direct the well production to the treatment system.
• Two horizontal cartridge filters will provide pre -filtration for the IX treatment vessels.
• One train of 12-foot diameter lead -lag IX vessels and appurtenances.
• IX flush water supply (FWS) needed for change -outs to be de -chlorinated.
• IX flush water waste (FWW) disposal to existing storm drain or sewer. Survey of flow line elevations to verify
sufficient fall to drain, by others.
• A new in -line booster pump station with two 75 to 100 HP outdoor pumps (1 duty and 1 stand-by) equipped with
VFDs will boost the well production through the pre -filters and IX pressure vessels.
• No new buildings are required since the existing 15'4" x 18'8" Control Building is large enough for the old MCC,
Electrical Panels, and SCADA equipment to be replaced and air conditioning added for the new VFDs.
• The treated effluent from the lag IX vessel will return in a new 12-inch pipeline to the existing 12-inch reservoir
inlet.
• To satisfy the CA Division of Drinking Water (DDW) requirements, a spool section of the existing 12-inch well
discharge to reservoir inlet will be removed forcing well production through PFAS treatment before entering the
reservoir.
• It is assumed that the building adjacent to Well 26 is a chlorine storage and feed building and the small building to
its east is an ammonia building, both added since the 1968 reservoir construction. Thus, chlorine and ammonia will
be added to the PFAS treatment effluent through a new static mixer with chemical injection lines.
• Associated facilities will include an emergency generator with automatic transfer switch to serve Well 26 and the
PFAS treatment system.
• Survey and geotechnical investigations are excluded from EEC's Scope of Work.
• Bid assistance and services during construction are excluded from this Scope of Work.
• The Planning Study does not include wells previously included in the Santa Ana Producer Report. Wells previously
included in the Producer Report can be included with expanded studies at an additional cost, if requested.
Task 1- Planning Study
OCWD's consultant completed a PFAS Treatment Systems Planning Study, also known as the "Producer Report" for City
of Santa Ana wells potentially impacted by PFAS. In summary, this report provided preliminary details and
recommendations for which wells may require PFAS treatment, an alternatives analysis for viable treatment options, a
preliminary sizing and layout of treatment system equipment, and high-level cost estimates for project completion. The
Producer Report included analysis of nine (9) Santa Ana wells.
However, the Producer Report did not include Wells 26, 34, 35, and 37. The RFP scope of work is specific to Well 26.
However, Wells 34, 35, and 37 were recently included in DDW's Executive Order DW 2022-001-DDW and must be tested
for PFAS by March 31, 2023. There is no evidence currently that Wells 34, 35, and 37 contain PFAS at any level, however
EEC proposes to include these soon -to -be -tested wells in the Planning Study.
The EEC Team will prepare a Draft Planning Study Report which is anticipated to contain the following information:

Optional Task - Bench Scale Pilot Testing
The following proposed scope of work is considered for a single well site. Multiple well sites with varying water qualities
can be tested to provide additional information.
Bench -scale testing of the three adsorbent materials will be conducted using the Rapid Small -Scale Column Test (RSSCT)
procedure. The test procedure was developed at Michigan Technological University and has since become a standard test
procedure in the water industry. Specifically, the RSSCT method is described in ASTM Standard Method D-6586-03 titled:
"Standard Practice for the Prediction of Contaminant Adsorption on GAC in Aqueous Systems Using Rapid Small -Scale
Column Tests". In this test, each adsorbent will be crushed to a smaller size (140X 170 mesh) and put into a small column,
which becomes a small-scale replica of the large-scale vessel. The operating time for the small-scale column is a fraction
of that for the large-scale vessel, allowing for a faster prediction of the time to breakthrough and the replacement frequency
of the adsorbent in the full-scale application. The design of the RSSCT column relies on information regarding the
anticipated full-scale plant design and operation such as projected vessel size and flowrate per vessel.
Three (3) RSSCT columns will be operated in parallel to test three adsorbents on the same test water. The selection of the
three adsorbents material to be tested will be made in consultation with Santa Ana.
Task I — Test Plan. Prior to initiation of testing, the EEC Team will prepare an experimental testing plan and submit it to
Santa Ana for review. After receiving Santa Ana's comments and approved modifications, the EEC Team will finalize the
test plan.
Task 2 — Water Collection. Several 55-gallon drums of water will be required to conduct this study. The EEC Team will
bring the required number of drums with new HDPE liners to the well site on a truck. With assistance from City staff, the
EEC Team will fill the barrels with water from a pre -selected connection point and bring them back to WQTS' laboratory
