CITY COUNCIL
Approval of Consultant Agreement with Project Design Consultants (PDC) for
Design Services for the Butterfield Trail Sewer Upsize project, RFP No. 23-012
This Consultant Agreement will provide design services for the Butterfield Trail Sewer Upsize project.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended the City Council approve the Consultant Agreement (Attachment A) with Project
Design Consultants (PDC) in the amount of $346,000 for Design Services for the Butterfield Trail Sewer
Upsize project, per the outlined terms of the agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute
the necessary documents.
Discussion:
In 2013, the City of Poway updated the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan to reflect growth in development,
modifications to the wastewater system, and ongoing water conservation efforts. Due to capacity
issues with the existing infrastructure, this upsize project was determined to be necessary as part of
the updated Sanitary Sewer Master Plan.
On December 20, 2022, the Development Services Department issued a Request for Proposal (RFP
No. 23-012) for design services for the Butterfield Trail Sewer Upsize project and received two
proposals. The project scope includes the upsizing of the sewer along Ash Hollow Crossing Road,
Espola Road and Cloudcroft Drive between Butterfield Trail and the southeastern corner ofThe Farm
development. After careful review of the proposals, staff determined PDC was highly qualified and
the best firm to perform the design work required.
Approval of this Agreement will provide professional design services for the Butterfield Trail Sewer
Upsize project. This includes performing a preliminary investigation that will include geotechnical
investigation and design survey. After the preliminary investigation, the consultant will complete the
design and prepare construction documents which are anticipated to be finalized in approximately
four months. The consultant will then assist City staff with construction administration tasks and

survey document preparation.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Fiscal Impact:
The consultant's fee will be based on the scope of work as outlined in the Consultant Agreement and
the not-to-exceed fee of $346,000. There is sufficient funding available in the Butterfield Trail Sewer
Upsize project (SW003) for this request. The funding for this project is provided by the Sewer
Enterprise Fund (5200) which is funded by the Sewer Connection impact fees paid by all new
development connecting to the City's sewer system .

Attachment 1
Scope of Work
When the project is awarded and our team is authorized to proceed, we will provide a detailed explanation of the scope of
services for this project. Identifying goals at the start of a project is a necessary component to the project's success. We will
maintain open and fluid communication throughout the length of the project, respect existing site conditions and utilize our
experience within the design field to provide this community with a sewer upgrade on-time and in budget.
Our team is familiar with all facets of technical design of gravity sewer pipelines. Our design experience and understanding
of how sewer systems operate coupled with our capabilities in the hydraulic analysis of gravity sewers and their associated
structures places us in an ideal position to provide overall guidance of the design of the Butterfield Trails Sewer Upsize
project.
Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. in conjunction with PDC's team will compile field data including existing sewer inverts and
existing sewer horizontal alignment, existing utilities and other spatial constraints such as existing rights-of-way, available
vertical elevation change across the upsize pipe segments, geotechnical data, and required peak wet weather flow capacity.
These parameters will be used to generate the recommended horizontal and vertical alignment of the upsize sewer. This work
is the critical step in preparing a successful design package. Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. will contribute its expertise at this
key design milestone, which will assist PDC in proceeding with preparing the design plans.

Based on the information in the RFP we assume that, we will setup a kickoff meeting with the City
to review the assigned tasks and all programing elements. The potential construction and sewer
bypassing issues which may affect the proposed sewer alignment will also be discussed. Marina Wurst
will assemble the appropriate team members with discipline leaders noted in the organizational chart
included in this response. During the kickoff meeting we will have all relevant disciplines present.
We will discuss the procedure and schedule for the project. We will also explore the amenities list to
prioritize the various amenities identified in the RFP. Our team will explore the essential infrastructure to
support the sewer upgrade.
