Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Description: This agreement provides funding to the City of Poway to implement its project to update the city's prior water and sewer master plans which are outdated.
Updates are needed to reflect changes in land use, updating demand and flow projections, system modifications, and mandated water conservation efforts, as directed in the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act.
This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $1,000,000. See terms and conditions.
Activities: The activities to be performed for the planning and consultant selection phase of the project include developing the final request for proposal, soliciting proposals and selecting consultants for preparation of the water and sewer master plan updates, obtaining relevant approvals, coordinating with internal stakeholders, and managing the planning contract.
The project team will develop a request for proposal package that consists of the requested scope of work, figures, schedules, and general contractual duties.
The activities to be performed for the master plan development phase of the project include administration of the consultant contract(s) and preparation of the master plan updates.
Project administration will include oversight of the consultant(s) and compiling data and information on the city's water and sewer systems and coordinating internal stakeholder review and input throughout the project.
Such oversight will require, at a minimum, bi-weekly conference calls along with meeting minutes and notes.
Preparation of the master plan updates include data review and compilation, compilation and review of current/projected land use and development of water demands/sewer generation rates, inventory of water/sewer facilities and their condition, development and calibration of hydraulic models, flow monitoring (sewer system), modeling of system performance for resiliency, redundancy, and fire flow (water system), capacity analysis including rainfall dependent infiltration and inflow (RDII) (sewer system), development of ten-year capital improvement plans for water and sewer systems.
Activities to be performed for the project management and controls phase of the project include the city managing the project activities and implementing controls to ensure the project is executed according to the agreed-upon scope, schedule, and budget, and that mandated procedures, including reporting, are followed.
The primary project management activities will include conducting a kickoff meeting, progress meetings, reporting to elected officials, developing quarterly progress reports, submitting project reports and summaries, providing final project inspection and certification, attending conference calls, coordinating task efforts, and tracking task progress and budget.
Workplan activities consist of the planning and consultant selection, the master plan development, and project management and controls that go along with the project.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: Anticipated deliverables include a consultant solicitation RFP and consultant contract(s) submitted to EPA to demonstrate successful completion of the planning and consultant selection phase of this project.
For the master plan development phase of the project, anticipated deliverables include completed water and sewer master plans that include the following:
- Data review and compilation
- Compilation and review of current/projected land use and development of water demands/sewer generation rates
- Inventory of water/sewer facilities and their condition
- Development and calibration of hydraulic models
- Flow monitoring (sewer system)
- Modeling of system performance for resiliency, redundancy, and fire flow (water system)
- Capacity analysis including rainfall dependent infiltration and inflow (RDII) (sewer system)
- Development of ten-year capital improvement plans for water and sewer systems noted above.
