Section 3: Alternatives Evaluation Water Supply Alternatives Study <br />3-5 <br />DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. <br />Water Supply Alternatives Study-Draft Report.docx <br />Estimated capital, O&M, and total annual costs are summarized in Table 3-2. <br />Table 3-2. Estimated Costs by Alternative <br />Cost Metric <br />Alternative 1 <br />(Baseline, PFAS <br />Treatment, 50% design) <br />Alternative 2 <br />(Reduced Baseline, PFAS <br />treatment, 50% design) <br />Alternative 3 <br />(Two New City Wells, <br />2% design) <br />Alternative 4 <br />(100% Purchases from Zone 7, <br />2% design) <br />Capitala, b $65M $29M $23M $11M <br />(Range)($57M-$77M)($26M-$34M)($13M-$42M)($6M-$21M) <br />Annual O&Mc, d $1.3M/year $0.6M/year $0.5M/year $6.5M/year <br />(Range)($1M-$1.5M/year)($0.5M-$0.7M/year)($6.3M-$6.7M/year) <br />Total Annual Coste $5.5M/year $2.5M/year $2.0M/year $7.2M/year <br />Costs shown in estimated 2024 $ (assuming 5% escalation from 2023 $). <br />a. Includes design, construction, contingency, construction support services (construction management [CM] and engineering services <br />during construction [ESDC]), and incremental cost of required infrastructure improvements beyond those identified in footnote (b). <br />Required infrastructure improvements are identified for each alternative in Akel’s Water Supply Alternative Improvements summary <br />dated August 2, 2023 (Appendix E). <br />b. Assumes near-term improvements (including pipelines F-1, F-4, and F-5 and baseline booster station BS-1 as identified in Akel’s <br />Water Supply Alternative Improvements summary dated August 2, 2023; Appendix E), estimated at ~$10.2M, will be funded and <br />addressed in advance of implementing water supply alternatives. <br />c. Includes granular activated carbon (GAC) media change-out, hazardous disposal of GAC spent media, chemical (additional costs), <br />electricity (additional costs), and wholesale water supply (assuming 3,500 AFY) <br />d. Not including additional operations staff for PFAS treatment (estimated at 2 to 3 full-time equivalents for Alternatives 1 and 2) <br />e. Includes capital and O&M. Capital cost annualized using a 5% interest rate over a 30-year period. <br />3.3.3 Combined Benefits and Costs <br />Figure 3-5 shows the results of combining the relative benefit scores and estimated project costs for <br />each alternative. Optimal results are closest to the top-left corner of the chart, where the relative <br />benefit is highest and estimated project cost is lowest. <br />Figure 3-5. Benefit score and estimated annual cost for each alternative <br />Annual cost includes capital and O&M. Capital cost annualized using a 5% interest rate over a 30-year period. <br />*Zone 7’s wholesale rate will likely increase over time with development of new supplies.
