STAFF REPORT

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 8583 Approving the Azalea Hill Trail Project Grant Application

SUBMITTED BY: Matt Sagues, Legislative and Grant Program Coordinator Shaun Horne, Watershed Resources Manager Crystal Yezman, Watershed and Facilities Division Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and refer to a Future Regular Bi-monthly Meeting of the Board of Directors with the District Operations Committee’s recommendation to approve Resolution No. 8583 Approving the Azalea Hill Trail Project Grant Application

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On May 14, 2019 the District Board of Directors adopted an Amendment of the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP) for the Restoration of Azalea Hill Trail (Project). The Project will allow decommissioning of up to 4.4 miles of non-system trails between Bull Frog Road and Bolinas-Fairfax Road, conversion and adoption of an existing non-system fisherman’s access trail and the existing Liberty Gulch Road along Alpine Lake to a Class IV road, and improvement to the Azalea Hill hiking and equestrian trail connecting Bull Frog Road and the Azalea Hill parking lot.

Major elements of the project will require grant funding to support implementation. To date, the District has submitted four grant proposals for the Project and applications for construction permits to facilitate work along the Liberty Gulch trail segment. In February of 2020, the District submitted a grant proposal in the amount of $795,455 to the California Department of Parks and Recreation for Phase III of Azalea Hill Trail Project.

Staff is requesting that the District Operations Committee review and refer this item to a Future Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Board of Directors with the District Operations Committee’s recommendation to approve Resolution No. 8583, which approves filing of the Project grant application and authorizes the General Manager to negotiate and execute the grant documents.

TOTAL EXPENDITURES $ 795,455 TOTAL SOURCES $ 795,455

FISCAL IMPACT NARRATIVE:

The Recreational Trails Program requires a 12% match from the applicant. The District’s project proposal had a total cost of $795,455, the district would fund $95,455 to match the $700,000 grant. The district has sufficient funds budgeted in FY 2021 Capital Project R-17008 - Fund center A1F06- Fund 20 to match the grant request.

BACKGROUND:

The Marin Municipal Water District adopted an Amendment to the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP) for the Restoration of Azalea Hill (Project) on May 14, 2019. The Project will: 1) remove approximately 4.4-miles of non-system roads and trails and restore those routes to natural conditions to improve habitat and water quality; 2) adopt and improve a 1.9-mile Class IV road comprised of the existing Liberty Gulch Road (1.2 miles) and convert an existing non-system trail (0.7 miles) to the wider, small vehicle route; 3) improve the hiking and equestrian route over Azalea Hill by correcting erosion and drainage problems along approximately 1.1 miles of existing Class VI trail, rerouting the trail around sensitive plants and adopting 250 feet of an existing non-system trail; and 4) treat the Azalea Hill parking lot to correct its erosion problems and improve the visitor amenities. Upon its completion, the Project will prevent up to an estimated 219 cubic yards of sediment from entering Azalea Hill’s creeks and Alpine Lake annually (or 4,380 cubic yards over 20 years) and will restore approximately one acre of habitat.

The Project consolidates use on the two existing routes proposed for upgrades and provides a much-needed connection and safety improvement between the “Lakes” and “Pine Mountain” areas. The District will continue to apply for grants to support the major trail segments as funding solicitations become available. The District recognizes that local organizations and community groups may be interested in volunteering or funding discrete project elements. Funding contributions for the project can be made to the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed Fund. Future volunteer opportunities will be available in coordination with major construction phases.

The district’s grant proposal to the Recreational Trails Program would support construction of Phase III of the Project. Specific Project activities would include the following tasks:

• Construct approximately 6,400 linear feet of new multi-use trail;

Page 11: POSTING DATE: July 14, 2020 PUBLIC ADVISORY

Azalea Hill Trail Project Grant Funding July 17, 2020

Page 3 • Construct one (1) new bridge; • Construct one (1) large retaining wall structure to support trail alignment and width for

multi-use trail; • Construct one (1) new causeway; • Construct 21 armored rock crossings; • Install one kiosk at Bull Frog Creek/Alpine Lake Trailhead in order to provide interpretive

displays and other educational materials and information; • Install directional trail signs and educational signage along trails; and • Construct drainage improvements along the trail route.

To facilitate fundraising efforts the Project has been divided into multiple phases based on major trail segments and major features. Each phase is being constructed as funding is secured.

Phase Description Status Phase I Includes work on the existing Azalea Hill Trail, performing slight re-

routes and increasing stability. It also includes upgrading the parking lot off of Bolinas-Fairfax Road to make it more sustainable and increase ease of visitor access.

Seeking grant funding-minor tread work initiated using California Conservation Corps trail crew

Phase II Entails improving the trail along the segments known as the “Old Ranch” and “Fishermen’s Trail.” This .75 mile segment of trail will include installation of six trail bridges, a puncheon, and an armored crossing. A major component of this phase includes adding a new 60ft bridge at the Bullfrog Quarry, which is necessary to support future phase of work.

Construction beginning in 2020- funding from CCNB and Prop 68

Phase III Consists of a long stretch of trail connecting the Fisherman’s Trail to Bolinas-Fairfax Road via Liberty Gulch. This 1.2 mile section requires only one bridge, but does need twenty rock-armored crossings, several puncheons, and construction of a small causeway. A major component of this phase is a significant soldier-pile wall to make the final connection to Bolinas-Fairfax Road along the northern trail segment near Bolinas Fairfax Road.

Pending grant funding-application submitted to RTMP Program February 3, 2020

Phase IV Includes the decommissioning of social trails and restoration of natural areas. This entails the decommissioning of up to 4.4 miles of non-system trails between Bull Frog Road and Bolinas-Fairfax Road. Decommissioning will include closure of certain areas for habitat restoration activities.

Seeking grant funding

Approval of Resolution No. 8583 is a requirement of the Recreational Trails Grant Program. Resolution No. 8583 confirms the district’s commitment to the Azalea Hill Trail Project, approves the filing of the grant application, and appoints the General Manager as the agent to negotiate and execute documents necessary for the Project.

STAFF REPORT

SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Contract No. 1836 with Forster and Kroeger Landscape Maintenance Inc. for Fuelbreak and Weed Maintenance

SUBMITTED BY: Carl Sanders, Natural Resources Program Manager Shaun Horne, Watershed Resources Manager Crystal Yezman, Facilities and Watershed Division Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Final approval by the Board of Directors authorizing the General Manger to execute the Second Amendment to Contract No. 1836 exercising an option to extend the contract term for one additional year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On April 4, 2017 the Board of Directors approved a two-year contract with Forster and Kroeger for fuelbreak and weed maintenance. The contract included an option to extend the contract in one (1) year increments for up to an additional two years. Over the past three years, Forster and Kroeger has performed well, has met all the vegetation management requirements in the contract and completed work on schedule and within budget.

The current contract with Forster and Kroeger expired on June 30, 2020. Staff is requesting that the Board of Directors authorize the General Manger to execute the Second Amendment to Contract No. 1836 exercising an option to extend the contract term for one additional year. This will ensure continued critical fuelbreak and weed maintenance work on the watershed and at water infrastructure facilities.

July 17, 2020 Page 2

FISCAL IMPACT NARRATIVE:

The District has sufficient funds budgeted in the FY 2021 vegetation management budget to support this critical work.

BACKGROUND:

This contract and work are supporting the scaling up of vegetation management work on the watershed from the 5,800 hours of labor in the 2014-2016 (extended through the first half of FY 2017) contract to approximately 11,680 hours for each of Fiscal Years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. While the majority of the work was performed on watershed lands, approximately 5% of the work is to be performed at tank sites or other off-watershed District facilities. In accordance with Section 1000, Paragraph 1.5 of the contract “The district has the option to extend this contract in one (1) year increments for an additional two years.” On July 16, 2019 the District Board of Directors authorized Amendment 1 to the contract which extended the contract term for one (1) additional year. The current contract term extension expired on June 30, 2020. To continue critical vegetation management work in Fiscal 2021, staff is recommending that the Board of Directors authorize the General Manger to execute the Second Amendment to Contract No. 1836 exercising an option to extend the contract term for one additional year. Per the terms of the contract this extension will be the final extension for this contract.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: The requested action aligns with the district’s Strategic Plan Goal 4 (Environmental Stewardship), Strategy 3 (Enhance ecosystem resiliency), Objective 1 (Implement vegetation management plan to protect communities and habitats from wildfire).

SUBJECT: Easement Agreement with San Rafael High School District for an Easement at San Rafael High School, 150 Third St, San Rafael

SUBMITTED BY: Stanley Graham, Real Property Agent Michael Ban, P.E., Division Manager Environmental and Engineering Services Division

RECOMMENDED ACTION: For review and referral to a Future Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Board of Directors with the Operations Committee’s recommendation to authorize the General Manager to execute the Easement Agreement with San Rafael City Schools

This project includes the construction of a new two-story building that will consist of administrative offices, a kitchen, general student common areas and classrooms and support spaces for Madrone High School. The project also includes the addition of (2) new firelines and the conversion of an existing hydrant to a private fireline and private hydrant. While preparing for the project, MMWD staff discovered that in 1985 the City of San Rafael had conveyed a roadway (formerly known as High Street) to the school district and an easement for MMWD’s pipeline, which runs through the school parcel, had not been offered to MMWD at the time this took place. To remedy this situation, MMWD and San Rafael High School District staff have jointly prepared the Easement Agreement. A location map for the easement is provided in Attachment 1 and the Easement Agreement is provided in Attachment 2. The no cost Easement Agreement provides a 20-foot wide easement comprising approximately 6,781 square feet, and includes the existing facilities and the new facilities to be installed.

FISCAL IMPACT NARRATIVE:

This project is funded in the FY 2020-2021 capital improvement budget.

BACKGROUND: The North Marin Line (NML) Booster Pump Station has eight pumps that transfer potable water from the San Geronimo Treatment Plant to Smith Saddle Tanks and the Fairfax Transmission Line. The existing NML Booster Pump #6 was originally installed in 1970, has been repaired and rebuilt multiple times, and is well beyond its useful life. This pump needs to be replaced before it potentially fails and causes an unexpected interruption in service.

The existing 50-year old pump has a 400 HP motor and provides 4,000 gpm at 350 feet of pressure head. The NML Booster Pump Station comprises eight pumps driven by four (4) 450 HP motors, three (3) 400 HP motors and one (1) 200 HP motor. Having most of the pumps being driven by large HP motors limits the ability of the operators to meet the range of flows experienced by the pump station. In order to provide the operators with more flexibility, the new pump will be driven by a 350 HP motor that provides 2,700 gpm at 350 feet of pressure head.

Staff prepared the pump and motor assembly specifications for the replacement of the existing NML Booster Pump #6 and requested quotes from six companies. Staff received and reviewed the following two quotes:

Parameter Pacific Water Resources Pump Repair Service Company

Pump Flowserve Gould Total Price Quote $176,430.00 $147,893.91 Electrical Cost/first 5 years $772,617.36 $505,000.00 Total Cost for first 5 years $949,047.36 $652,893.91 Pump Model 24ECY/24ECM - 3 stage VIC-FLCM 18CHC, 6 stages Pump Efficiency 80.5% 82.0% Coating, No206N, or equal Scotchkote 134 Scotchkote 134 Pump NSF 61 Certified Yes Yes Nominal RPM 1200 1200 Motor Type and HP Nidec Motor 350 HP Nidec Motor 350 HP Motor Eff. 94.1% 95.4% Net Pressure Suction Head required (NPSHr), ft 10.2 19.8 Expected Life 25 years 30 years Lead Time 28 weeks 24 weeks Flow, gpm 2,700 2,700 Head, ft 350 350 Shutoff Head 484.58 523

The quotes ranged in price from $147,894 to $176,430. Both pumps meet the flow and pressure requirements and have the same motor. Therefore, the pump and motor assembly that best meets the District’s needs is the Gould pump submitted by Pump Repair Service Company. This pump is NSF 61 certified, meets the design parameter of 2,700 gpm at 350 feet

FISCAL IMPACT NARRATIVE:

Amendment No. 3 with Stanton Engineering in the amount of $57,375 would increase the total contract amount from $156,730 to $214,105. District staff also requests the Board authorize a contingency of $30,000 for a total authorized amount of $244,105. Funds for the Project (D19027) are included in the FY 2020-2021 budget in fund center category A1A04.

BACKGROUND:

The San Geronimo Treatment Plant (SGTP) is the source for approximately 50% of the District’s water supply. Originally constructed in 1961, SGTP has been expanded since then to meet increasing water demands and upgraded to improve treatment capability and seismic reliability. In 2019, in response to a warning from PG&E that it was going to implement a Public Safety Power Shut-off (PSPS) program wherein PG&E would shut-off electrical power to District facilities, including the SGTP, during certain weather events, the District initiated a two-phased approach to provide emergency power for SGTP. Phase 1 includes the rental of a 2 MW portable generator for use in summer/fall 2019 and 2020. Phase 2 is the design and installation of a permanent diesel powered, stationary emergency generator power plant under the San Geronimo Treatment Plant Emergency Generator Project (Project). In 2019, the District hired Stanton Engineering to provide professional design services for the Project. In the summer of 2019, Stanton Engineering and the District’s project team, including staff from Facilities and Watershed, Operations and Engineering, participated in the start-up and testing of the portable 2 MW generator, with the objective of further determining the appropriate size of the permanent generator system. The data from this test indicated a 2 MW generator system was insufficient to power SGTP and the associated pumps. This experience demonstrated, and subsequent engineering calculations confirmed, a 3 MW power plant would be needed to provide emergency power to run SGTP and all of the associated treatment and distribution pumps. The initial configuration for the 3 MW power plant was based on the use of three (3) 480-volt 1 MW package generators with six (6) engines. However, this configuration would require additional maintenance and the installation of transformer, which would require a lead-time of ten months. The project team determined to proceed with a configuration based on two (2) 2,400-volt 1.5 MW package generators with two (2) engines, which do not require the installation of a transformer and have less maintenance requirements. Also, based on the District’s experience during PG&E’s fall 2019 PSPS events, during which PG&E shut off power to the SGTP, it was determined the emergency power plant should include a 5-day supply of fuel instead of a 3-day supply as originally planned. These changes in approach, and other design improvements, have resulted in the need for Amendment No. 3 to Stanton Engineers’ scope of work. These improvements include the following tasks:

• Design an emergency power plant with two (2) 2,400-volt 1.5MW generators with two (2) engines.

Page 41: POSTING DATE: July 14, 2020 PUBLIC ADVISORY

Page 3 • Design and specify 2,400-volt medium voltage distribution equipment. • Design new 200-amp service and automatic transfer switch for power plant auxiliary

power. • Add a 23’ x 48’ gravel parking area adjacent to the generators for maintenance

equipment and vehicles. • Provide two (2) 10,000 gallon above ground storage tanks for a 5-day supply of fuel,

including filling station, transfer pumps, double wall pipe, and leak detection. • Expand the size of the concrete generator pad to accommodate the fuel tanks. • Add a 12-inch spill containment berm around the generator and tank pad and a field

fuel spill kit. • Provide an overhead canopy for protection of District operations and maintenance staff.

The cost for Amendment No. 3 is $57,375, which increases the total contract amount from $156,730 to $214,105 (see Attachment 2). This total contract amount is approximately 11% of the construction cost estimate of $1.9M. In addition to authorization for the General Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to the Contract, District staff requests a contingency in the amount of $30,000, for a total authorized amount of $244,105, and authorization for the General Manager to execute any additional necessary amendments to this contract which do not exceed the $30,000 contingency amount. District staff anticipate awarding the construction contract for the Project in October 2020 and completing construction of the Project by June 1, 2021. At this time, staff requests final approval by the Board of Directors of Resolution No. 8585 Authorizing the General Manager to Execute Amendment No. 3 and any other necessary amendments, which do not exceed the contingency amount of $30,000, with Stanton Engineering for Design Services in Support of the San Geronimo Treatment Plant Emergency Generator Project.
