DATE: April 13, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Sean P. Crumby, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: PROJECT UPDATE FOR BEVERLY MANOR
RESERVOIR EMERGENCY ROOF REPAIRS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6550 approving:
• Budget Amendment 15-10-01 to allocate $159,431 to repair facilities at
Beverly Manor Reservoir and recognize revenue in the amount of
$203,000 to fund the repairs.
• Plans and specifications for roof repairs.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The City of Seal Beach operates a domestic water facility located at 3131 North
Gate Road. Located within the property is a well-site, booster pump station, and
water reservoir. The reservoir is one of two in the City and is critical to providing
water service for residents. The reservoir has been covered by a corrugated
aluminum roof that assists with water quality and reduces evaporation of the
water.
On April 30, 2014, a large wind event came through Seal Beach and a portion of
the roof for the reservoir blew into the neighboring property. Fortunately, no
injuries were sustained and minor property damaged occurred. The neighboring
property is owned by the City of Seal Beach and utilized by the Orange County
Fire Authority for fire protection services. Approximately 60-70 percent of the
roof structure remained in place, which posed an immediate safety concern as
high winds were persisting at that time. Directly adjacent to the Beverly Manor
Reservoir is the 1-405 Freeway, which facilitates more than 500,000 vehicles
daily. If a portion of the remaining roof blew onto the freeway, the impact could
have been significant.
Immediately, City staff, with help from various consultants, began an emergency
clean-up of the site and removal of the remaining roof. The emergency work was
Agenda Item H
assigned project number WT1403. As the facility is critical to the City's ability to
provide water, an analysis was immediately begun to replace the roof. The
existing roof structure had been in place for more than 40 years and the
technology with these structures has evolved. The analysis first included a study
that assessed various types of roofing structures and made a recommendation
on a preferred structure type. Once the structure type was determined, a design
was completed so that the project could be bid.
Simultaneously with these activities, staff worked with the California Joint Powers
Insurance Authority (CJPIA) and filed a claim for the emergency. CJPIA has
agreed that all impacts as a result of the wind damage occurring on April 30,
2014 will be covered under the City's insurance. This project represents the
largest valued claim that CJPIA has ever processed and, as such, there has
been a learning process for both City and CJPIA staff. Although CJPIA approved
the claim, as the process evolved staff from both agencies had not delivered a
project of this magnitude nor technical complexity via an insurance claim. The
activities within the claim are as follows:
• Property damage at neighboring property (personal and City)
• Emergency clean-up at the two properties (Beverly Manor Reservoir and
OCFA Station 48)
• Increased cost of water service
o Reimbursement of value of water within the reservoir at the time of
the incident
• Design services for replacement
• Staff time managing the design and construction support services
• Construction of replacement facilities
• Replacement roof structure
• Replacement reservoir liner
• Replacement equipment within the reservoir (chlorination and
mixing systems)
Expenses for these activities are summarized as follows:

Claims managed directly by CJPIA
Emergency Clean-up
City crews and equipment $6,764
Technical assistance (AKM Consulting Engineers) $16,671
Contractor assistance (Charles King Company) $32,394

Design of roof structure (AKM Consulting Engineers) $100,406
Construction of Replacement Facilities
Bidding and construction is managed directly by CJPIA $3,000,000 (estimated)
City staff time and construction support services $30,000 (estimated)
Emergency Roof Construction Status
Construction of the emergency roof was bid by CJPIA and awarded to the Belfort
USA Group. Belfort has begun work at the site. The structure selected for the
roof is an aluminum dome structure. Belfort has designed the roof connections
and the roof structure is currently being manufactured. It is anticipated that the
roof will be delivered in fall 2015. It is anticipated that the project will be
completed by winter 2015.
Water Station Rehabilitation - Beverly Manor (WT0904)
Within the FY 2014-15 approved budget and Capital Improvement Program is a
project entitled Water Station Rehabilitation — Beverly Manor Reservoir. This
project has $2.7 million budgeted to rehabilitate the well and booster station at
the Beverly Manor Reservoir. This project is still necessary as the emergency
roof repair to the reservoir does not rehabilitate the well and booster station. The
design for the project is near complete, and is being performed by AKM
Consulting Engineers. It is anticipated that this project will begin construction
after the completion of the roof.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project is categorically exempt from review under California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1(c) of the State CEQA
Guidelines.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form..
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The emergency replacement of the roof structure is being funded entirely by the
CJPIA. To date, the City has received reimbursement from CJPIA in the amount
of $142,086. Payments made to vendors have totaled $159,431. Total
reimbursement is estimated to reach $203,000. Budget Amendment 15-10-01
