SUMMARY: The ASR sites were developed over 25 years. Multiple projects had overlapping design and
construction schedules, projects have been implemented by both MPWMD and
California American Water, and some projects or are no longer required.
During the 2020 Santa
Margarita Chemical Building design, MPWMD’s now-retired Electrical Designer
said MPWMD would need a new PG&E power drop if additional power consuming
infrastructure was installed. MPWMD
staff is requesting authorization to contract with a licensed Electrical
Engineer to review our electrical system, understand our remaining electrical
system capacity, and to provide overall electrical system support.
Staff requested
qualifications from 4 firms recommended by other local public water
agencies. Of the 3 firms that responded,
TJC and Associates (TJC) was ranked the highest. TJC has been in business since 1996, has 3
offices in Northern California, has 6 licensed electrical engineers on staff, is
working in the Monterey area, and has impressive experience in water-industry
power.
Work will be conducted
on a time and materials basis. Staff is
requesting funding for approximately 4 weeks of consultant time to perform
investigative work. If investigative
work takes less time than the budgeted, remaining budget would be available for
use over a total contract time of 3 years.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration Committee
may recommend that the
Board authorize the General Manager or
his designee to enter into a contract with TJC and Associates, Inc. to provide electrical
engineering support services to MPWMD for an amount not to exceed $45,000.
