SUBJECT: SANTA CLARITA VALLEY SHERIFF'S STATION, PROJECT F3023
- AWARD CONTRACT FOR DESIGN OF WATER SERVICE
PIPELINE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Damon Letz
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Award a contract to Santa Clarita Water Division (SCWD) for the design of a new water
service pipeline to serve the proposed Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, Project F3023,
estimated by SCWD to be $275,000, and authorize a contingency in the amount of $55,000,
for a total contract amount not to exceed $330,000.
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney
approval.
BACKGROUND
At the May 24, 2016, City Council meeting, City Council approved a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City of Santa Clarita (City) and the County of Los Angeles
(County) to construct a new 44,400 -square -foot Sheriffs Station to replace the existing station.
The new station will be located on Golden Valley Road at the site of Los Angeles County Fire
Department temporary Fire Station 104.
The MOU states that the City will be responsible for all off-site improvements required for the
completion of the new station at its sole cost and expense. Adequate water service to the site is
among the key requirements of the off-site improvements.
The water service needs for the new Sheriff s Station were evaluated by Santa Clarita Water
Division (SCWD) to determine the water flow and volume that would be required to serve the
facility. The evaluation was based on the following criteria:
Page 1
Packet Pg. 41
1. Water demand for the station, including site landscaping.
2. Water demand for the building's fire sprinkler system.
3. Water demand to meet Los Angeles County Fire Department fire flow requirements.
It was determined the current water service is inadequate to meet the water requirements for the
proposed station. A new main water service pipeline is required to provide adequate water to
meet the needs of the station.
The new pipeline will extend from the termination of an existing water pipeline located on the
east side of Golden Valley Road near Robert C. Lee Parkway and extend northward to the site of
the proposed station, connecting to an existing water line at that location. The new pipeline will
be nearly one mile in length.
SCWD is the sole water provider for public water service in this area of the City. As such, they
will own and be responsible for the maintenance of the new water pipeline. SCWD is responsible
for the design of water service lines under their control. Based on this, there is no competitive
bidding process for this design service.
SCWD has completed the planning phase for the new water pipeline. This request will provide
the necessary funding to complete the design phase. Staff will return to City Council for approval
of the construction contract at the appropriate time.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds have previously been identified and approved by City Council as part of the May
24, 2016, City Council meeting to support this recommended contract.

SCWD Project W.O. No. S16-618
The scope of the bidding phase will include:
Prepare contract bidding documents for the project that will include a bidding
schedule, final plans, and technical specifications necessary to solicit competitive
bids.
• SCWD will issue Request for Bids from a short list of SCWD pre -qualified
contractors.
• SCWD will receive and evaluate bids, and select a contractor based on the lowest
responsible bidder, in accordance with SCWD Purchasing policy.
Based on an updated schedule received from the City on April 17, 2017, we understand that
the City has accelerated the project by about 6 months and requires installation of the water
infrastructure prior to the anticipated start of construction of the new station on January 11,
2019. For this reason, we have included both the design and bid phases in the deposit
request to help expedite the work by SCWD. After the bid phase is completed, we will
provide a construction deposit request to the City that includes contractor's cost for
construction, SCWD costs for inspections, and fees.
In response to the
City's
updated schedule, we have also updated
our project schedule, as
follows:
• Design Phase — 5 to 6 months
• Bid Phase — 2 months
• City Authorization for Construction Deposit — 1 month
• Construction — 9 months
It is our understanding that the City is incorporating the SCWD infrastructure for the Project
into the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
for the entire Project (i.e., the proposed Sheriff Station facilities and construction). Based
on the updated schedule, the City anticipates approval of the CEQA MND on August 8,
2017.
The estimated cost to perform the design and bid phases for the SCWD water infrastructure
required for the project is $275,000. This is only an estimate. Should the actual cost be
less than this amount, the difference will be applied to the construction phase, as requested
by the City. Should the actual cost exceed this amount, we will advise the City in advance
and submit an amendment to the City to cover the difference. Please note that SCWD may
perform the design phase using a combination of in-house SCWD staff and/or engineering
consultant(s) from our approved pool of on-call consultants in order to expedite the design
phase. We are currently working with our on-call engineering consultants to obtain costs
and schedules for certain design phase services, but anticipate the costs will be within the
estimated budget request. A cost breakdown is provided in the table below.

Attention: Brent Payne, P.E., Senior Engineer
Subject: Hydraulic Assessment of the Sheriff Station, 26201 Golden Valley Road
Work No. S 16-618
Dear Mr. Payne:
CIVILTEC engineering, inc. (Civiltec) has prepared this hydraulic assessment of the proposed
new Sheriff Station to be located at 26201 Golden Valley Road in Santa Clarita, California (APN
2836-012-905 and 2836-016-909). The project is being proposed by the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department, Facilities Planning Bureau. The project proposes the following
improvements:
• 44,300 square feet, one story building constructed on a 7.64 acre lot
• 4,000 square feet maintenance building with a car wash and detail area
• Parking areas for 365 vehicles for staff, visitors and oversize vehicles
• Helipad
• Landscaped slope area, trees and shrubs (drip system): 85,000 SF (1.95 acres)
• Onsite, trees and shrubs (drip system) 27,000 SF (0.62 acres)
♦ Onsite, turf (sprinklers) 3,000 SF (0.07 acres)
The project is within the service boundary of the Santa Clarita Water Division of the Castaic Lake
Water Agency (SCWD). The purpose of this assessment is to determine the most efficient way to
serve the new Station with existing and new water system infrastructure needed to serve the
Station, and how the system will operate under normal and fire flow conditions with adequate
system pressures.
The average elevation of the Station site is 1470 feet above mean sea level (ft). SCWD pressure
zone boundaries were mapped as part of the 2013 Water Master Plan. The new Station is just
outside the mapped pressure zone boundaries of the Honby Pressure Zone (HGL 1548 ft), the
Friendly Valley Pressure Zone (HGL 1699 ft) and the Golden Valley Pressure Zone (HGL 1908
ft), as shown on Figure 1 below. The site is currently occupied by a temporary Los Angeles County
Fire Station #104 which is served by a 16 -inch line from the Honby Pressure Zone, but requires a
private on-site pumping station to boost the pressure to an acceptable service pressure.

The following supply alternatives have been considered:
Golden Valley Pressure Zone water system extension from its present terminus along
Golden Valley Road near Robert C. Lee Parkway. Just west of this intersection, the 16 -
inch pipeline to/from the Golden Valley Tank crosses Golden Valley Road. Approximately
5,375 feet of new pipeline is required along Golden Valley Road to the site. This alternative
will provide water at a maximum pressure of 190 psi to the site (true maximum static
pressure). In order to provide a service pressure to the site in compliance with 2013 Water
Master Plan criteria, pressure regulation will be required to reduce Golden Valley Pressure
Zone HGL to a service pressure of approximately 80 psi at the site. This alternative is the
most feasible to pursue and is the subject of this water system evaluation.
2. Honby Pressure Zone water system extension from the intersection of Golden Valley
Road and Centre Point Parkway. There is an existing Honby Pressure Zone 16 -inch
pipeline in Golden Valley Road (that serves the existing fire station) and terminates near
the north property line of the proposed Sheriff Station. Based on the lower HGL of the
Honby Zone, using this pipeline will provide water at a low system pressure (less than 34
psi) to the site and would require an on-site pumping station to meet system pressure
requirements (per the 2013 Water Master Plan), and must be sized to meet Los Angeles
County Fire Department (LACFD) fire flow requirements for the new Station. This option
would require an on-site pump station with on-going operation and maintenance by the
City. Based on input from the City, this alternative is not considered a viable option and
is not analyzed further in this study.
Friendly Valley Pressure Zone water system extension along Via Princessa from its
present terminus near Sheldon Avenue to Golden Valley Road. The City completed an
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in June 2015 for the Via Princessa East Extension
Project, which would extend Via Princessa from its present terminus near Sheldon Avenue
to Golden Valley Road. This road extension could potentially bring the Friendly Valley
Pressure Zone to the proposed intersection of Golden Valley Road and Via Princessa which
is approximately 2,500 feet north of the new Station location. When extended, the Friendly
Valley Pressure Zone will provide a service pressure of approximately 100 psi to the site.
Onsite pressure reduction will be required to reduce the service pressure to 80 psi to meet
the criteria established in the Plumbing Code. Since the construction of Via Princessa East
Extension is not anticipated for several years, this alternative is not feasible at this time and
is not analyzed further in this study.

The hydraulic analysis includes the following:
♦ Estimate of average day demand, maximum day demand and peak hour demand based on
the 2013 Water Master Plan water duty factors for equivalent land uses. Supplemental
demand information provided by the County of Los Angeles was also examined in the
analyses.
♦ Fire flow demands. The LACFD has determined that 1,500 gpm at 20 psi for a duration of
3 hours will be required for the proposed project, as shown on the Form 196 provided by
the City of Santa Clarita (See Appendix A).
♦ Perform two model runs based on the proposed Golden Valley Pressure Zone configuration
to confirm system pressures are adequate under typical operational conditions (tanks full,
pumps on) and conservative conditions (tanks ''/z full and pumps off).
♦ Summarize the analysis with attached model results in table or graphical form.
It is our understanding that the City of Santa Clarita met with the LACFD on January 17, 2017 to
confirm fire flow requirements, number and location of new public fire hydrants, and the need for
onsite private hydrants. The following items were confirmed with the LACFD at this meeting,
(based on the City's meeting summary attached in Appendix B):
• Fire flow requirements are confirmed at 1,500 gpm at 20 psi for 3 hours.
• Three (3) public hydrants will be required in front of the Station within the Golden Valley
Road right-of-way. Spacing will be 300 feet apart, with a hydrant located at each driveway
to the Station (north and south driveways) with a third hydrant located in between the
driveways.
• Two (2) on-site private hydrants will also be required based on required spacing of 450
feet from a hydrant to each building (Main Station, and Maintenance Building).
• The Main Station and Maintenance Building will be equipped with fire sprinklers.
Demand Analysis
The new Sheriff Station will be incorporated into the existing SCWD Golden Valley Pressure
Zone, which operates at a hydraulic grade line (HGL) of approximately 1,908 feet. Following are
estimates or citations for average demand, demand fluctuation, and fire flow demand. These
provide a basis for evaluating the hydraulic conditions in the new pipeline.
Average Demand
Water demand will consist of commercial/industrial/institutional (CII) potable water demands, and
irrigation and erosion control needs. Unit demand factors were taken from Table 2.23 of the SCWD
2013 Water Master Plan (WMP) that most closely correspond to the types of water use proposed
for the development.
Table 1 provides an estimate of the incremental increase in Average Day Demand (ADD) for the
development of about 10 gpm.

The City has provided demand information for a similar existing Sheriff Station located at 1310
West Imperial Highway in Los Angeles. The Imperial Highway Station is approximately 35,000
SF and is located on a large lot with landscaping. The water usage for this Station's building only
was 3.214 acre-feet for calendar year 2016 (the site has 2 meters — one for the buildings and one
for landscaping). The equivalent water demand for the proposed Station building is 4.435 AF per
year for the buildings only. The 2013 Water Master Plan demand factor listed above for CII
demand only equates to 9.275 AFY which is more conservative.
The City has also provided the fixture unit counts for the Main Station and Maintenance buildings
as follows:

Per Appendix A of the Uniform Building Code, Chart A 2.1, 147 fixture units equate to a demand
of 55 gpm. Demand calculated in this manner equates to Peak Hour Demand. The Average Day
Demand for the buildings only equates to about 9 gpm using the PHD factor of 6.19 for the Golden
Valley Pressure Zone. The fixture unit count calculations generate an annual demand of about 14
AFY.
For the purposes of this study, it is recommended to use the 2013 Water Master Plan demand factor
for Commercial, Industrial and Institutional land use.

engineering inc
Peaking factors for the proposed development are assumed to be consistent with the Golden Valley
Pressure Zone, as indicated in the 2013 WMP, Table 2.22. Demand fluctuation based on Golden
Valley Pressure Zone peaking factors is shown in Table 2.
Table 2 — Application of Golden Valley Pressure Zone Peaking Factors
The development will be adding approximately 25 gpm during MDD.
Hydraulic Analysis
SCWD's Master Plan assumes a 16 -inch pipeline in Golden Valley Road to connect the existing
16 -inch pipeline of the Honby Pressure Zone to the Friendly Valley Pressure Zone. Therefore, this
hydraulic analysis is based on a 16 -inch diameter pipeline.
This scenario tested the maximum day demands of the new Sheriff Station in the Golden Valley
Zone under conservative system operating conditions (i.e. tanks % full and pumps off). Simulations
were made for ADD, MDD and MDD + fire flow conditions at the proposed fire hydrant location
at the Station site. The following is a description of how the scenario was implemented into the
water model:
♦ Model was simulated with ADD = 10.22 gpm
♦ Model was simulated with MDD = 24.73 gpm
♦ Model was simulated with MDD plus a fire flow event of 1,500 gpm at proposed fire
hydrants individually with the following parameters.
o The water surface elevation of the Golden Valley Tanks was set to '/2 full (HGL
1,893).
o The pumps at the Golden Valley Booster Station were off.

The results for the 16 -inch pipeline are indicated in Table 3. While the minimum pressure criterion
is met, the maximum pressure is exceeded. Pressure regulation is required as a master regulation
station with a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) to serve the new Station. Pipe, fittings and valves
should be selected to work with 190 psi static pressure and possible surge pressures of about 25%
higher due to the long transmission pipeline. The City has indicated some possible locations for
the PRV station on the east or west side of Golden Valley fronting the new Sheriff Station. The
City owns the down slope area outside of the public right-of-way on the east side of Golden Valley
Road. The PRV is an above ground facility with walled enclosure and will require a footprint of
approximately 15 feet by 20 feet. SCWD will prepare a concept layout early in the design phase
and work with the City to select the best location for the PRV, including need for access.

Estimate of Costs
SCWD has prepared an estimate of the construction costs for the new 16 -inch pipeline and required
appurtenances. The estimated construction costs with overhead and contingencies is
$1,399,680.00. Separately, impact fees for a 2" domestic meter and 1 '/2" irrigation meter total
$19,305.00. The complete estimate is provided in Appendix C.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Results of the modeling confirm that the conceptual design of a new pipeline on Golden Valley
Road to the new Sheriff Station provides the fire flow required by the LACFD, as well as meeting
average, maximum day and peak hour demands with more than adequate system pressures. The
system pressures range from 182 to 189 psi. Since pressures are above 80 psi, master pressure
regulation will be required.
Please contact the undersigned with any questions regarding these analyses.

Brent,
As we
discussed at our utility
coordination meeting the City is
underway with the
CEQA investigations for the
project.
We are scheduled to
request certification of the MND
from City Council in July of this year.
You stated that it would be of benefit to include the SCW mainline extension and pressure reduction station
(PRS) in the project description. When can you have the project description sent to us? The description should
include the mainline from the point of connection to the termination point and any supporting systems such as
the pressure reduction station.
What is the alignment within Golden Valley Road?
We are in the first draft of the project description so now is the best time to add your project description.
In addition, we have researched the right-of-way (ROW) and property that is controlled by the City and did not
find any possible locations for the PRS other than the property on the east and west side of Golden Valley
Road fronting the Sheriff's Station. The City does own the down slope area outside of the ROW on the east
side and if needed and with the construction of a retaining wall, the PRS can be placed at that location.
Let me know if you would like to discuss this over the phone, I am in the office until 2:00 today.
Thank you,
Ross Pistone
