Page 3 of 6 <br />lower than the anticipated peak daily demand of 25.8 mgd, attributed to lower temperatures, <br />continued conservation, and modification of the operation of the City’s water system. To meet <br />peak demands without using the wells, the City coordinated with high water users — including <br />the City at its parks and Callippe Preserve Golf Course — to conserve and reduce water <br />usage. To prevent damage to landscaping by greatly reducing water use during the peak <br />demands, landscape areas were watered without conservation when water was available and <br />demand on the system was low. <br />This project combines the remaining two of the three improvements needed to meet this <br />demand. The projects were combined to meet schedule demands and to create staffing <br />efficiencies related to administering a single contract. Staff recommends consolidating the two <br />projects into one and renaming as the Near-Term Water Improvements Project, CIP 24171. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Turnout 4 Replacement and Booster Station and Stoneridge Drive 24-Inch Potable Water Main <br />F-1 Line), CIP No. 24171 <br />On August 15, 2023, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to execute a <br />professional services agreement with Woodard & Curran, Inc. for the design of the Turnout 4 <br />Replacement and Booster Station and Stoneridge Drive 24-Inch Potable Water Main (F-1 <br />Line), CIP No. 24171. Turnout 4 is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of <br />Stoneridge Drive and Hopyard Road, and connects to Zone 7’s 20-inch supply line in Hopyard <br />Road. It was built in 1980 with a capacity of 4,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The control and <br />metering equipment are housed below grade in a concrete vault with a small building to house <br />the fluoride chemicals and control systems. The site is shared with a "Welcome to Pleasanton" <br />sign, electrical cabinet, and traffic signal equipment. <br />The turnout operates with higher pressure from Zone 7, pushing water into the City's <br />distribution system. As the Tri-Valley area grew, the available pressure from Zone 7's system <br />decreased when other agencies filled their systems, thus reducing the turnout's capacity to <br />below 1,000 gpm during peak demand. A water booster station is required to ensure the <br />demand can be met regardless of other agencies' activity. The booster station will use electric <br />pumps to pull water from Zone 7's system and increase the pressure to the City's system- <br />desired water-pressure setting, and will be designed to meet the future peak demand of 5,200 <br />gpm. <br />The existing site has minimal space. Staff and the City’s design consultant, Woodard & Curran <br />Inc., are currently developing plans and request for proposals to solicit bids for purchasing a <br />prefabricated booster station (built off-site). This will be placed using a crane as part of the <br />Near-Term Water Improvements Project, thereby limiting the site work to the below-grade <br />piping. During construction, the existing turnout, fluoride system, traffic signal controller, and <br />temporary booster pump will remain in operation. <br />A new 20-inch water line is needed on Stoneridge Drive from Hopyard Road to Johnson Drive <br />approximately 3,500 linear feet) to increase the capacity of the existing 12-inch and 16-inch <br />water lines currently being fed from Turnout 4. The existing 12-inch asbestos concrete pipe <br />built before the 1960s is nearing the end of its useful life and was recommended for <br />replacement as part of the Water System Condition Assessment. As such, the size of the new <br />water line size was increased from 20 inches to 24 inches and will replace the capacity of the <br />12-inch line when it is decommissioned. <br />Page 94 of 228 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FAA54C3-9A1A-4C50-9AAD-7467E7B73787
