7. REPORT ITEMS  
7.1  
REPORT - CONTRACT AWARD - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES  
AGREEMENT WITH JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. FOR  
EMERGENCY GENERATOR ENGINE RADIATORS AND FUEL TANK  
REPLACEMENT AND LTP FLEET GASOLINE FUELING STATION  
ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION AND ENGINEERING DESIGN  
SERVICES  
BACKGROUND: The City owns and operates two standby emergency  
generators to provide power to the Laguna Treatment Plant (LTP) in the  
event of a power outage. The radiators on the engines that drive the  
generators have leaks, they are at the end of their useful life, and need  
to be replaced. The emergency generators at LTP are powered by  
diesel fuel from an underground storage tank, the tank is at the end of  
its useful life and needs to be replaced. Lastly, there is currently only a  
diesel fueling station at LTP. The addition of an on-site gasoline fueling  
station would provide operational resiliency, particularly during  
emergencies such as Public Safety Power Shutdowns. This proposed  
action will allow for the evaluation of alternatives for each of the project  
components including: the replacement of the emergency generator  
engine radiators, the replacement of the emergency generator diesel  
fuel tank, and the potential development of an on-site gasoline fueling  
station.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Water Department and  
the Contract Review Subcommittee that the Board, by motion, approve  
a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Jacobs Engineering  
Group Inc. to provide professional services for the Emergency  
Generator Engine Radiators and Fuel Tank Replacement and LTP  
Fleet Gasoline Fueling Station Alternatives Evaluation and Engineering  
Design Services in the amount not to exceed $514,879.00
