RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2007-027 approving the agreement for professional engineering
services with Brown and Caldwell for the preliminary design of the Agua Hedionda Sewer Lift Station
and realignment of reaches 11B through 15 of the Vista Carlsbad Interceptor Sewer System,
Project Nos. 3492, 3886, and 3949.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Project Background: The Vista/Carlsbad (V/C) Interceptor Sewer was constructed in 1965 and is
jointly owned by the City of Vista and the City of Carlsbad. The alignment, approximately eight miles in
length within the City of Carlsbad, extends from just west of College Boulevard and Highway 78 to the
Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF). There are two lift stations within the alignment,
the Buena Vista Lift Station and the Agua Hedionda Lift Station. Both are maintained and operated by
the Encina Wastewater Authority through a joint agreement.
The system currently conveys an average daily flow of 8.5 million gallons per day (MGD) with peak
wet weather flows as high as 21 MGD. Ultimate average daily flow is projected to be 12.5 MGD and
peak wet weather flows are expected to reach 31 MGD. In recent years, several improvements to the
upper reaches of the interceptor sewer have been completed addressing both capacity and condition
issues of the system. Improvements have included pipeline and manhole rehabilitation in reaches VC1
through VC3, upgrades to the Buena Vista Lift Station, and the replacement and realignment of
reaches VC5 through VC11 A.
The lower reaches, including reaches 11B through 15 and the Agua Hedionda Lift Station (AHLS),
have reached their useful life and have inadequate capacity for estimated future flows. This project
includes the relocation and replacement of the Agua Hedionda Lift Station and the realignment of
reaches VC11B through VC15. The pipeline realignment includes the replacement of the pipeline
trestle crossing the Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
In 2006, Brown and Caldwell was hired by the City to prepare a study to evaluate the relocation of the
Agua Hedionda Lift Station and the realignment of the Vista/Carlsbad Interceptor Sewer. Brown and
Caldwell was selected from a group of seven firms that submitted qualification and proposal packages
received through the City's Request for Proposal (RFP) process in accordance with Carlsbad
Municipal Code section 3.28.070. The study prepared by Brown and Caldwell evaluated 10 different
sites for the lift station and several alternative pipeline alignments. Now that a preferred site for the lift
station has been identified, the City is ready to proceed with preliminary engineering of the lift station
and further refinement of the interceptor sewer alignment concept so that property and easements can
be acquired, or at least space reserved from the property owner. Brown and Caldwell has submitted a
proposal for the engineering services requested by staff, which has been reviewed and determined to
be reasonable for the scope of services provided. It should be noted that upon completion of this
phase of work in approximately six months, the City will require additional consultant services for the
preparation of the final design of the lift station, interceptor sewer, and bridge across the lagoon for
supporting the pipe. Preparation of environmental documents and permit assistance will also be
required. A separate amendment or agreement for the additional services will be presented to the
City Council at that time.

November 6th, 2006
BACKGROUND
In June 2006, Brown and Caldwell completed a Sitting and Alignment study for the proposed
Agua Hedionda Lift Station and associated force main and gravity sewers. The Study focused on
evaluating site and alignment alternatives for the replacement of the Agua Hedionda Lift Station
(AHLS) and associated force main and gravity sewers since the existing AHLS has reached its
useful life and is need in replacement not only to meet current and future capacity needs but also
enhance the reliability of the pumping system. The new AHLS will have a capacity of
approximately 31 million gallons per day (mgd) to meet build-out conditions in accordance with
the City's 2003 Wastewater Master Plan. The new AHLS will pump all wastewater flows to the
Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF).
With the completion of the sitting and alignment study, the City is moving forward with the
preliminary design phase for this project. The preliminary design phase will consist of preparing
a preliminary design report (PDR). The PDR will serve as the basis for preparing detailed plans
and specifications for this project
The objectives of the Preliminary Design Report will as follows:
1. Evaluate lift station type ( submersible or Dry well / wet well)
2. Perform hydraulic analysis to size pumps including VFD's.
3. Evaluate and size equipment (Odor control, generator, chemical feed system, etc.)
4. Perform surge analysis
5. Evaluate the influent gravity sewer crossing of the lagoon.
6. Prepare design criteria for the lift station, force main, and gravity sewers.
7. Perform Phase I hazardous waste assessment at the preferred site and along the preferred
alignment.
8. Prepare an implementation schedule and phasing plan.
9. Prepare detailed construction cost estimates.
10. Prepare preliminary design schematics for key areas along the proposed pipelines
including the diversion /junction structures in Cannon Road, evaluation of trenchlesss
construction for the crossing of busy intersections including Cannon Road and Palomar
Airport Road.
11. Prepare preliminary drawings, including a site plan, a yard piping plan, architectural
elevation views, mechanical plans and sections for selected lift station type, single line
diagram, and process and instrumentation diagrams.

phase including setting up contracts, day to day management of the project, setting up project
files, miscellaneous correspondence, coordination with subconsultants, preparing invoices, and
reviewing invoices.
TASK 2 - COORDINATION MEETINGS
This task includes all of the meetings necessary to communicate with City and project team
throughout the preliminary design phase effort. It is anticipated that a total of 4 meetings would
be required as follows:
• Kickoff / Brainstorming Session. The kickoff / brainstorming session would be attended
by key members of BC's project team as well key members of City staff. The purpose of
the meeting would be to discuss project issues, lessons learned on previous projects,
design standards and requirements, permitting, schedule, and site issues.
• Coordination and Review meetings. It is anticipated that a total of two (2) preliminary
design coordination and review meeting would be necessary to communicate with City
staff regarding this project.
• Coordination Meetings with NRG Energy, NCTD, EWA, and Southern California Gas. It
is anticipated that a total of three (3) coordination meetings would be necessary for this
task.
BC would prepare meeting minutes for all these meetings and would submit those to the City
within one week of each meeting.
TASK 3 - LIFT STATION DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
3.1 - Lift Station Site Evaluation
This task consists of conducting site evaluation for the construction of the proposed lift station
including the preparation of preliminary site exhibits for discussions with City planning, property
owner, and regulatory agencies.
3.2 - Evaluation of Constant Speed vs. Variable Speed
This task consists of conducting and evaluation of constant speed pumping versus variable speed
pumping to determine whether VFD driven pumps would be cost effective and would offer the
City more operational flexibility. Life cycle cost analysis for both options will be performed.
3.3 - Prepare Design Criteria
This task consists of the following subtasks, consisting of evaluating project components and
preparing the design criteria for the proposed facilities.

This task consists of preparing a geotechnical reconnaissance study for the preferred lift station
site and along the existing NCTD railroad corridors, Cannon Road, Avenida Encinas to the
EWPCF as follows:
• Review of published geologic reports, fault and seismic hazard reports, groundwater reports,
topographic maps and stereoscopic aerial photographs. We would also review in-house
geotechnical reports for our nearby projects.
• Review of plans and reports provided by the client.
• Performance of a site reconnaissance by an Engineering Geologist to map the geologic
conditions.
• Compilation and analysis of the data.
• Preparation of an illustrated Geotechnical Reconnaissance Report presenting our findings and
conclusions related to geotechnical conditions at the site, and potential soil and geologic
