6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Public Works Water Division is designing work on the installation of Well 28, to be
located at 235 W. Maple Street, in the Old Towne area of the City of Orange. This site
was acquired from Chapman University via a land swap in 2018. Currently, this corner
parcel is a vacant asphalt paved lot with no buildings or structures. The site is located in
a portion of the Historic District characterized by historic industrial and residential
structures, as well as more recent infill development associated with Chapman University
academic facilities and the recently completed Old Towne West Metrolink parking
structure. Well 28 is expected to produce approximately 2,500 gallons per minute in flow
capacity. In conjunction with the well project, a public mini-park will also be constructed
around the well site. Well 28 will be constructed in two phases: drilling and equipping.
Well drilling is expected to begin in the summer of 2020. The well equipping and
construction of the park will begin in January 2021.
The Water Division solicited proposals from four reputable consulting firms for the
professional engineering services. The scope of work includes site research, topographic
survey, hydro-geological services, well design, park design, electrical services, structural
calculations, pumping equipment, cost estimate, and construction support services.
All four consulting firms contacted responded with a written proposal. All proposals were
carefully reviewed and evaluated by Water Division ,Staff. The proposals were rated
based on the firms' relevant experience with well construction projects, quality of key
personnel and supporting staff, understanding of the scope of the project, and ability to
meet the time and schedule. Tetra Tech Inc. was the top ranked consultant. The
summation of ranking and proposed fee are as follows:
Firm Rank Proposed Fee
Tetra Tech, Inc. 1 $614,000
AKM 2 $798,489
Michael Baker International 3 $726,801
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. 4 $495,000
Tetra Tech`s proposal showed the most thorough understanding of the project scope and
challenges involved. They had extensive experience in similar type of project, having
completed several well projects for public agencies such as Orange County Water
District, City of Paramount, Irvine Ranch Water District, and City of Santa Ana. They also
completed Well 27 design for the City of Orange. Tetra Tech's original fee was consistent
with other top rank firms. Staff negotiated with Tetra Tech to reach an agreeable fee of
$614,000 down from their original proposal of $654,000. Among the four proposals, _
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. received the lowest ranked due to their lack of
experience in similar type of project. The hydrogeologist on their team did not complete
any well projects in the Orange County water basin. Additionally, their proposal did not
demonstrate an understanding of project scope and unique challenges pertain specifically
to the design and construction of Well 28. Therefore, staff is recommending award of the
contract to Tetra Tech, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $614,000.
ITEM 2 06/11/2019
In conjunction with the design of Well 28, the Community Development Department
solicited proposals from ten qualified consulting firms for the environmental document
services. The scope of work includes preparation of an appropriate CEQA document and
all necessary supportive technical studies to support construction of the new water well
and mini-park.
Three of the ten consulting firms contacted responded with a written proposal. All
proposals were carefully reviewed and evaluated by Planning Division Staff. The
proposals were rated based on project understanding, quality and experience of key
personnel and supporting staff, the scope of work and quality of the proposal, ability to
meet the schedule and cost. Environment Planning Development (EPD) Solutions, Inc.
was the top ranked consultant. The summation of ranking and proposed fee are as
follows:
Firm Rank Proposed Fee
EPD Solutions 1 $73,804
VCS Environmental 2 $71,107
LSA 3 $90,071
After the proposals were submitted, the scope of work of the project expanded to include
the mini-park. An updated scope of work was submitted by the top ranked consultant that
included the analysis of the mini-park with expanding cultural resources studies, totaling
$80,126. Staff is recommending award of the consultant services agreement to
Environment Planning Development Solutions, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $80,126.
Since the scope of the project was expanded to include environmental studies, ancillary
improvements, and aesthetic treatment as required for a project in a sensitive area, the
total design cost is higher than budgeted. Staff is requesting the appropriation of$205,000
from the Water Fund unreserved fund balance to cover the design and environmental
studies cost.

• Vintage Lofts, Tustin. Cogstone conducted a cultural resources assessment of the existing built
; environment consisting of mid-20"' century light industrial buildings known as the Tustin Freeway.
Commerce Center. The project area is designated for construction of new residential buildings and
demolition of all existing buildings on the 6.79-acre property.Cogstone conducted a records search.
An architectural field survey and photo documentation of the Project Area included nine historic-age
buildings on the property. Two were not included as they are not yet 45 y,ears old. The buildings
were documented on DPR series 523 forms and evaluatecl for eligibility for listing.on the California
Register'of Historic Resources(CRHR). It was determined that they do not.meetsignificance criteria.
• Driscoll Ranch, Architectural Survey qnd Cultural Lqndscape Evaluation, Midpeninsula Regional Open
Space District (MROSD), near La Honda, San Mateo County. Conducted .the architectural survey,
tonducted background research and authored the report. In compliance'with the CEQA, and for
inclusion.in a supplemental IS/MND,Cogstone documented and evaluated 2.1 historic-age buildings
an.d structures located at four ranches within. a 3,649-acre project area. They were evaluated for
historic significance and for potential eligibility for. listing on the California Register of Historic Places.
The MROSD is considering demolition of two houses and six barns and outbuildings within the La �
Honda Creek Open Space P,reserve (Preserve). Evaluation of the buildings for historic significance
was necessary before destructive action is planned or taken.
� Maxwell Historic Residence Modifications Analysis,San Juan Capistrano.The current owners of the home
at 31319 Andres Pico Road propose to remodel the historic house construded in 1928 involving
several kinds of-modification. This historic-age home,commonly known as the Durnford/Marco Forster
House,is listed on the local Inventory of Historic and Cultural Landmarks(IHCLJ and is No. P33 on the
Inventory. As a property.on.the IFiCL,the home remodel plans are subject to review by the City of
San Juan Capistrano's Cultural Heritage Commission: It is a good example of�a Spanish Colonial
Revival st.yle house that has been inhabited ov.er the yea.rs by two different'locally-prominent citizens.
Measured drawings and plans have been createcJ to reflect the elements involved in the remodel
plans.This analysis consisted of an evaluation of the proposed modifications in light'of the Secretary
of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment.of Historic Properties(Weeks.and Grimmer 1995).
• Historical $ites Preservation, Veferans Affairs Long Bevch Healthcare System, Long Beach. The
undertakings involve eleven.projects, divided into two construction phases.for improvements to.the �
campus. Cogstone reviewed prior reports and site records, conducted Section 106 Native American.
consultation, conducted consultation to develop a NAGPRA POA for all the projects and updated
survey dnd evaluation of 19 buildings. One National Register-listed prehistoric archaeological site,
the Puvungna Indian Village, is known on the campus. Cogstone's review of prior documents and
updated building survey resulted in the findings that six historic-age buildings at Site P19-187656
had been determined not eligible for the NRHP in 2006, that one more was determined to be not
eligible in 2013, and that six additional buil.dings.previously evaluated had not been reviewed by
SHPO. During the architectural survey, it was found that 13.more 6uildings not previously recorded
� on site forms or e.valuated would be directly or indirectly impacted by the proposed projects. The
appropriate Department of Parks and Recreation, Primary Record forms, along with the Building,
Structure, and Object Record forms were filled out for the 13 buildings, and updated forms were
provided for the six b,uilding's not previously evaluated. Principal Architectural Historian. 2014
