SOUTH COUNTY REGIONAL WASTEWATER AUTHORITY CAPITAL PROJECTS IN
PLANNING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT TASKS
Task 7 — Studies for Future Capital Improvements
The SCRWA facility requires ongoing maintenance and improvements. Based on discussions with
Exhibit B-1 Page 4
SCRWA, CONSULTANT has identified five areas for potential improvements and proposes to
conduct a study for each of these areas for further consideration by SCRWA and the SCRWA
board. The purpose of these studies is to evaluate options (at a conceptual design level only) and
prepare programmatic cost estimates to inform further consideration by SCRWA.
Subtask 7.1—Repair Influent Ponds I & 2
CONSULTANT understands that SCRWA seeks to repair the Influent Pump Station (IPS) ponds 1
and 2, which are currently used for emergency retention of possible overflow from the influent
pump station. The IPS ponds were constructed in 1982 as wastewater aeration basins, and were
later re -purposed as emergency overflow storage when denitrifying treatment facilities were built in
1994. CONSULTANT expects that improvements (e.g. liner upgrade) may be cost-effective
method for increasing functionality and reliability to get full value from these SCRWA assets.
Scope subtasks:
■ Revise the April 2020 Technical Memorandum to fit current conditions and to present
alternatives for repairs of the pond liner system
■ Coordination with RWQCB for input on the proposed Pond use. This may be done by
SCRWA, after submittal of the draft Technical Memorandum.
■ Coordinate with the SCRWA operations staff regarding leakage standards and operational
risks.
Subtask 7.2 — Optimization of Reclamation Pond
CONSULTANT will evaluate the Reclamation Pond at the plant to determine if the SCRWA
recycled water supply capacity may be economically increased by installing piping from existing
secondary effluent storage to the tertiary treatment inlet. The proposed scope for this task consists
of a preliminary engineering design study for the necessary piping, with a cost estimate.
The existing two -section storage pond located along Southside Drive at the Plant, known as the
"Reclamation Pond", was originally constructed circa 1980 with a liner to store secondary effluent
that was then pumped into the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) recycled water
distribution system. When the SCRWA system was upgraded in the late 1990 to provide tertiary
treatment, the outflow from the Reclamation Pond was piped to the percolation ponds. Recently,
recycled water system improvements have enabled the peak recycled flow demand to exceed the
available flowrate of secondary effluent. Under these circumstances, the addition of piping
connection to route flow from the Reclamation Pond to the tertiary filter influent pumps would
provide the opportunity for increasing the recycled water supply flow under peak flow conditions.
Recognizing that routing water to recycle decreases the load on the percolation disposal system, this
improves wastewater disposal capacity as well as recycled water capacity.
This scope task would develop a preliminary design, including a Basis of Design Technical
Memorandum, layout drawing, hydraulic calculations, quantity estimate, and cost estimate. Scope
'- Stantec, April 2020. Draft Technical Memorandum "Utilisation of Former Aeration Ponds at the Influent Pump
Station" with OPCC and calculations (not formally issued).
Exhibit B-1 Page 5
subtasks are as follows:
■ Coordinate with the SCRWA operations staff who originated the concept for the
Reclamation Pond.
■ Conduct file search to assemble past drawings, survey data, and other past -project
documentation of existing conditions.
■ Prepare a Basis of Design Technical Memorandum.
o Prepare a layout mechanical drawing.
o Prepare hydraulic calculations.
o Prepare quantity estimate.
o Preparation of a Class 5 OPCC by a Cost Estimator.
■ Respond to comments on the draft final Technical Memorandum.
■ Deliver the final Technical Memorandum to SCRWA.
Subtask 7.3 —Area 98 Reservoir
CONSULTANT will evaluate increasing the SCRWA recycled water delivery capacity by adding
storage reservoir volume for tertiary treated water. This scope task consists of a preliminary
engineering design study for construction of a second 3 MG capacity covered reservoir beside the
existing Area 98 reservoir.
The layout of the existing Area 98 reservoir anticipated an additional neighboring parallel matching
reservoir construction. The location of the inlet/outlet structure to the east was intended to
facilitate connection to another reservoir on that side. The anticipated second reservoir unit will
occupy land currently used for stormwater management, as discussed in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) for the Plant Expansion project,3 and this may affect the future use of the South
Percolation Ponds. CONSULTANT believes it is an appropriate time to review and verify the
siting decisions.
Flow between the existing Area 98 Reservoirs and the recycled water pump station runs through a
single bi-directional 20-inch diameter pipeline which enters and exits the chlorine contact basin at
the same location and hydraulic elevation. Operation of the UV system and efforts to control the
desired chlorine contact basin volume are both constrained by this hydraulic elevation. Operability
may be improved by utilizing two pipelines so one can be carrying disinfected flow to the reservoirs
from one hydraulic level while a second returns flow to the delivery pumps at a second,
independent hydraulic level. Consequently, predesign for a second 20-inch diameter pipeline is
included in this scope of work.
To meet demand for recycled water delivery capacity, this scope task would develop a preliminary
design for a second 3 MG reservoir, including a Basis of Design Technical Memorandum, layout

Memorandum.
Exhibit B-1 Page 6
drawing, approximate hydraulic calculations, quantity estimate, and cost estimate. Scope subtasks
are as follows:
■ Conduct file search to assemble past drawings, survey data, and other past -project
documentation of existing conditions.
■ Prepare Basis of Design Technical Memorandum, including flow control strategy
evaluation:
o Prepare layout civil drawing;
o Prepare approximate hydraulic calculations for sizing pumps and piping;
o Prepare quantity estimate; and
o Preparation of a Class 5 OPCC by a Cost Estimator.
■ Deliver the draft Technical Memorandum for SCRWA staff review.
■ Respond to comments and deliver the draft final Technical Memorandum.
■ Deliver the final Technical Memorandum to SCRWA.
Subtask 7.4 — Repurposing the Frazier Lake Road Property for Percolation Ponds
CONSULTANT proposes to evaluate repurposing SCRWA's Frazier Lake Road Property for use as
a site for percolation ponds. Construction and operation of percolation ponds was previously
planned for Frazier Lake Road Property, which can maintain reliable disposal capacity when part of
the South Ponds area is converted to site stormwater management. The scope for this task consists
of a preliminary engineering study for percolation pond dikes and associated effluent delivery
piping for Frazier Lake Road Property percolation ponds ("Frazier ponds").
SCRWA acquired the 49-acre parcel of agricultural land on the west side of Frazier Lake Road in
1999 and prepared a preliminary layout for construction of percolation ponds on the site (see
attached drawing). The 1999 SCRWA application for an increase in permitted flowrate included an
estimate of the percolation capacity expected from the construction of the "Shriner" ponds and the
subsequent "Frazier" ponds. The construction of the Frazier ponds was delayed partly due to
incorporation of the industrial wastewater percolation ponds into the municipal system and in 2014
a study was done evaluating possible distribution of recycled water to the Frazier property (see
attached diagram). More recently, the need to manage stormwater from the site in accordance with
the State Industrial General NPDES Permit for stormwater has increased the importance of
maintaining adequate stormwater holding pond capacity. Planned construction of a second recycled
water reservoir (Area 98 Reservoir) on a site currently used for stormwater holding will shift flow
to one or more of the South Ponds which are currently allocated for secondary effluent percolation.
The construction of the Frazier ponds would replace the capacity of the South Ponds. Considering
the site conditions, the Frazier ponds are more suitable for effluent percolation than the South
Ponds, which are more optimally used for stormwater.
To provide reliable effluent disposal capacity, this scope task would develop a preliminary design
for percolation ponds on the Frazier Lake Road property, including a Basis of Design Technical
Memorandum, layout drawing, approximate hydraulic calculations, quantity estimate, and cost
estimate. Scope subtasks are as follows:
Exhibit B-1 Page 7
■ Conduct file search to assemble past drawings, survey data, and other past -project
documentation of existing conditions.
■ Prepare Basis of Design Technical Memorandum, including design of dikes, access roads,
monitoring wells, and secondary effluent delivery pumps and piping:
o Prepare layout civil drawing;
o Prepare approximate hydraulic calculations for sizing pumps and piping;
o Coordinate with groundwater hydrologist to plan groundwater monitoring wells;
o Prepare quantity estimate; and
o Preparation of a Class 5 OPCC by a Cost Estimator.
■ Respond to comments on the draft final Technical Memorandum.
■ Deliver the final Technical Memorandum to SCRWA.
Subtask Z3 — Miscellaneous Equipment Efficiency Optimization
This subtask would review and evaluate improvements at the SCRWA Plant, including to two
equipment areas:
1. Dewatering Building Improvements. A new and larger hopper and improving the efficiency
of the vacuum filter press.
2. Oxidation Ditch Mixers Improvements. Improving the efficiency of the mixers on the
