Subject: Proposal for Engineering Services; SS1902 61h Street Alley, Water, and Sewer
Improvements
Dear Mr. Fait:
AKM Consulting Engineers (AKM) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide engineering services for
the SS1902 6th Street Alley Sewer Repair Project. Our understanding of the project, proposed scope of
work, corresponding fee proposal, and the schedule are as follows.
The City of Seal Beach has a 6 -inch diameter gravity sewer in the 6th Street Alley. The City lined a portion
of the pipe in 2012. Approximately 325 feet of the pipe (200 feet south and 125 feet north of the
centerline of Central Avenue) could not be lined due to "defects discovered". Two (2) 48 -inch diameter
manholes were constructed on this line, one approximately 190 feet south of Central Avenue, and one
410 feet north of Central Avenue. The lining has experienced failures, which results in the City having to
clean this sewer frequently.
There is a 6 -inch asbestos cement water pipe in the alley. This pipe has reached the end of its useful life,
and was identified for replacement in the City's 2012 Water Master Plan Update. Additionally, many of
the house service meters in 6th Street Alley are located on private property, and need to be relocated to
the public right of way.
The project will replace the existing 6 -inch sewer with a new 8 -inch sewer, preferably with steeper slope.
This will require a new connection to the 21 -inch diameter sewer on Electric Avenue. The water line will
be replaced between Electric Avenue and Ocean Avenue Alley with an 8 -inch pipe, and all services will
be located on the public right of way.
The alley pavement will be replaced within the public right of way, as well as in areas on private property
where the existing water meters are removed.
The total length of each improvement is approximately 1,230 feet. Due to the narrow width of the alley
and the number of improvements involved, we propose to prepare the plans at a scale of 1"=10'(6 sheets
of plans and profiles for water and sewer; 6 sheets of plans for the alley pavement replacement, and 4
sheets of details.
We propose to implement the following scope of work:
AKM ProposaV 18 -1104
1. Project Management and Meetings
We will start the meeting with a kickoff meeting to review and refine the scope of work, establish
lines of communication, and discuss the initial schedule.
We will submit monthly progress status reports along with our invoices, and meet with City staff
to review the progress and obtain additional information/direction.
We will conduct weekly in-house quality control review of the project, and address any issues
that may be identified.
2. Obtain and review all as -built utility plans
We will obtain the water, sewer, and storm drain information from the City, and gas, electric,
telephone, and cable facility information from the respective owners. We will maintain a utility
coordination log to ascertain that appropriate communication has taken place. We will verify the
visible facilities during field walk of the alignment.
3. Review CCTV Inspection Reports and Recordings.
We will review the CCTV data to locate the precise location of the sewer house laterals
4. Field Surveying
We will utilize the existing topography, and supplement it with field surveys, including cross
sections of the alley at approximately 20 -ft intervals. The survey crew will dip all manholes and
catch basins, where they exist.
S. Geotechnical Investigation
We propose to conduct a geotechnical investigation to develop design recommendations for
bedding, backfill, shoring, and dewatering required for the project. The field work will include
two borings extending to 10 feet below the bottom of the proposed improvements
6. Potholing
This task involves potholing to determine precise location and elevation of existing utilities that
may interfere with the construction of the proposed water and sewer improvements. It will be
invoiced only if used.
7. Prepare Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for Sewer, Water, and Alley Improvements
This task will include walking the alignment with City staff to determine the extent of work to be
performed on private property where the pavement elevations do not match, where the existing
water meters are on private property, and where the existing meter boxes are not of the size
required by the current standards.
As described under project understanding, we propose to develop the plans at 1"=10' scale.
We will review the development of the plans with the City staff at progress review meetings, and
submit them at the 70% completion stage, along with technical specifications and construction
cost estimate. We will address the City's comments, and finalize the documents.
8. Project Close-out
We will prepare as -built drawings based upon the redlines provided by the contractor and the
City's inspector.
AKM Proposal, 18 -1104
9. Bidding Assistance
We will attend a pre-bid meeting. We will respond to requests for information, and issue an
addendum, if necessary.
10. Engineering Support During Construction
We will attend the pre -construction meeting, review shop drawing submittals, and respond to
requests for information during the construction.
We propose to complete the scope of work tasks 1 through 7 within 18 weeks of receipt of notice to
proceed. We will complete tasks 8 through 10 as required by the progress of the work.
To complete scope of work described above, we estimate a budget of $180,928 will be required. The work
will be performed on a time and material basis, in accordance with AKM's billing rates. AKM will not
exceed the authorized budget without written approval from the City. Breakdown of the fee estimate for
the project, including workhours, is attached to our proposal
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal, and look forward to being of service to the city
of Seal Beach. Should you have any questions regarding our proposal or require additional information,
please feel free to contact us at your convenience.
Very truly yours,
AKM Consulting Engineers

Subject: Proposal for Engineering Services for Sewer Pump Station 35 Improvements
Dear Mr. Myrter:
AKM Consulting Engineers (AKM) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide engineering services for
upgrades to the City's Pump Station 35.
Pump Station 35 was originally constructed in 1973. It was upgraded in two phases in 2006 and 2007.
The upgrades included replacing mechanical and electrical equipment, as well as re -ling of the wet well,
site improvements, and constructing a bypass pumping connection in a vault on the force main, which
allowed bypassing the pump station during the lining of the screen vault and the wet well.
The pump station piping has experienced leaks in the dry well. The equipment is nearing the end of its
useful life, and needs to be updated. Additionally, while there is a bypass pumping connection, the sewage
has to be pumped from the existing manhole just upstream of the pump station wet well. This requires
the sewage to back up into the upstream collection system, which is not desirable. A separate bypass
pumping wet well deeper than the pump station's influent sewer needs be constructed, which would
eliminate the need to back up sewage into the collection system during a bypass pumping operation.
The City does not have pump station maintenance manual documenting the proper operation of the
pump station, and maintenance of the equipment.
The purpose of the project is to
• Prepare contract documents for the construction of a bypass pumping system, and replacement of
the piping and valves in the dry well
• Prepare pump station maintenance manual
The scope of work for the project will consist of the following tasks:
1. Project Management and Meetings
We will start the meeting with a kickoff meeting to review and refine the scope of work, establish
lines of communication, and discuss the initial schedule.
AKM Propo3ab19-1025
We will submit monthly progress status reports along with our invoices, and meet with City staff
to review the progress and obtain additional information/direction.
We will conduct weekly in-house quality control review of the project, and address any issues
that may be identified.
2. Obtain and review all as -built utility plans
We will obtain the water, sewer, and storm drain information from the City, and gas, electric,
telephone, and cable facility information from the respective owners. We will maintain a utility
coordination log to ascertain that appropriate communication has taken place. We will verify the
visible facilities during field walk of the facility.
3. Geotechnical Investigation
We will conduct a geotechnical investigation to develop design recommendations for bedding,
backfill, shoring, and dewatering required for the bypass pumping system. The field work will
include one boring near the pump station extending to 51 feet below the ground surface.
4. Prepare Plans, Specifications, and Estimates for Bypass Pumping System and Dry Well
Mechanical Improvements
We will prepare plans for installation of a diversion manhole on the existing 24 -inch diameter
sewer with a gate, diversion piping, and bypass pumping wet well. The bypass pumping wet well
will be an approximately 10 -ft diameter circular structure constructed of pre -cast reinforced
concrete walls and a cast -in-place base. We will review access to the structure during future
bypass operations with the City staff, as well as any permanent piping depending upon the
pumping equipment the City prefers.
We will prepare plans for replacement of the piping, valves, sump pump and its piping, and
appurtenances in the dry well.
We expect to develop 9 plan sheets for the project, consisting of:
1. Title Sheet
2. General Notes and Construction Notes; Sheet Index
3. Bypass Piping System Plan
4. Bypass Piping System Profile/Sections
S. Details -Bypass pumping system
6. Dry Well Demolition Plan and Section
7. Dry Well Mechanical Plan
8. Dry Well Mechanical Sections
9. Details (Dry Well Mechanical)
We will review the development of the plans with the City staff at progress review meetings, and
submit them at the 70% completion stage, along with technical specifications and construction
cost estimate. We will address the City's comments, and finalize the documents.
5. Project Close-out
We will prepare as -built drawings based upon the redlines provided by the construction
contractor and the City's inspector.
AKM PropoiaL19.1025
6. Bidding Assistance
We will attend a pre-bid meeting to describe the project and respond to requests for information,
and issue an addendum, if necessary.
7. Engineering Support During Construction
We will attend the pre -construction meeting, review shop drawing submittals, and respond to
requests for information during the construction.
8. Prepare Pump Station Maintenance Manual
This task will consist of utilizing the operation and maintenance manuals prepared by the
construction contractor and its suppliers, as well as the contract documents, to prepare a manual
for the City staff for use in regular maintenance of the pump station mechanical and electrical
equipment. The manual will describe the maintenance activities as well as recommended
frequencies.
We propose to complete tasks 1 through 4 of the above scope of work within 18 weeks from notice to
proceed. We will complete tasks 5 through 7 as required by the progress of the work. We will complete
Task 8 within 8 weeks of the completion of the construction.
To complete the above detailed scope of work, we estimate a budget of $134,279 will be required. The
work will be performed on a time and materials basis, in accordance with AKM's billing rates. AKM will
not exceed the authorized budget without written approval from the City. Breakdown of the fee estimate
for the project, including workhours, is shown in the table below.
