Safety Award

Strategic Focus Area:

Employees

Recommendation:

The board recognize the recipient of an Association of California Water Agencies Joint Powers Insurance Authority safety award.

Background:

The ACWA/JPIA H.R. LaBounty Safety Awards are intended to promote safe workplace and operations practices and reward employees who demonstrate safe behavior, take part in proactive activities, or participate in risk-reducing actions. Awards are given twice per year at the spring and fall conferences. At the fall 2017 conference, Field Supervisor Paul La Falce was recognized for ensuring each of his team members has the OSHA heat safety application downloaded on their smartphones. Additionally, he designed a daily heat index reminder. He utilized screen shots from the app, had them enlarged, and worked with a local printer to have them placed on a laminated, erasable poster. Each day a member of his team accesses the app and updates the poster. The poster hangs on the door where

SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement and Appropriation of Additional Funds for the Carmichael Pipe Condition Assessment Project, Work Order 4978

Strategic Focus Area:

Infrastructure

Recommendation:

The board authorize the general manager to execute a professional services agreement between Helix Water District and Echologics, LLC, in the amount of $68,050; and appropriate additional funds in the amount of $80,000 from schedule 64, item 18 of the fiscal year 2017-18 capital budget for the initial phase of the Carmichael pipe condition assessment project, Work Order 4978.

Background:

The district owns and operates approximately 32 miles of concrete cylinder pipe ranging in size from 16 to 72 inches in diameter. These large diameter CCP main transmission lines form the backbone for water deliveries throughout our water distribution system. One such potable water transmission line connects Helix 1 Tank to Dictionary Hill Pump Station via approximately 2.5 miles of CCP ranging in size from 18-inch to 30-inch diameter. This

Page 26: AGENDA REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ......Setting Standards of Excellence in Public Service AGENDA REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Wednesday, January 3, 2018 - 6 p.m

pipeline serves as the major artery for the Helix 1 system east of Bancroft Drive accounting for approximately one-half of the Helix 1 system demand and 2.5 percent of the total district daily demand. This pipeline also serves as a secondary feed to the Dictionary Hill system which accounts for an additional 4 percent of the district's daily demand. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 - Pipeline Condition Assessment Alignment

This pipeline has experienced several leaks over the past fifteen years, most recently in October and November of 2016. Each time a failure occurs the line must be shut down and dewatered to make repairs, disrupting our normal water delivery operations and impacting the customers served by this line. Based on these factors, the recent leak history and the criticality of this pipeline to overall district water operations, staff commenced an evaluation of alternatives to address the ongoing failures occurring on this pipeline.

The nature of the failures on this pipeline are related to corrosion at the service lateral connections where the services are coupled to the steel main (see Attachment B, photos of failures along the pipeline). The wholesale replacement of all 184 service connections along the subject alignment was assessed and estimated to cost between $3 million to $4 million. Alternatively, the performance of a comprehensive non-destructive leak analysis to evaluate the extent of leakage and collection of field data to assist in identifying and planning for targeted repairs is a more cost-effective approach to address this issue (see Attachment C, Echologics Technology).

The proposed assessment will perform a nondestructive leak detection and correlation along the pipe alignment broken into seven segments prioritized by leak history as shown in Figure 1 above, consisting of the streets, Lemon Avenue, Carmichael Drive, Marguerita

Lane, Fletcher Drive, North Rogers Road, San Cristobal Road and North Cordoba Avenue (see Attachment D, maps showing each alignment and segments).

On August 2, 2017, the board of directors authorized the appropriation of funds in the amount of $70,000 to develop and implement a request for proposals for this project. Subsequently, on September 6, 2017, an RFP was sent to a select list of qualified condition assessment consultants. On September 28, 2017, two proposals were received by prospective consultants, as listed below. The range of prices received is consistent with the expected cost of condition assessment projects of similar size and scope.

1. Echologics, LLC 2. Pipeline Inspection and Condition Analysis Corporation

$70,000 $59,900

A panel consisting of Helix staff evaluated the submitted written proposals and elected to conduct interviews with each consultant. Based on the consultants' interview responses as well as their adherence to the evaluation criteria listed in the RFP, Echologics, LLC was unanimously identified as the most qualified consultant to perform the work. Echologics, LLC is recognized as a leader in the transmission pipe monitoring and leak detection industry, and they have successfully completed similar work for many public water utility agencies, both locally and across the country.

Upon the panel's selection of Echologics, LLC, district staff began consultant negotiations, while concurrently performing a detailed site survey which resulted in an expanded final scope of work for a slightly lower total contract cost of $68,050. An agreement for professional services between Helix Water District and Echologics, LLC has been prepared and reviewed by legal counsel (see Attachment E).

This initial phase includes a six-month duration leak assessment of the 2.6 mile extent ofthe existing 18-inch to 30-inch concrete cylinder pipelines, from Helix 1 Tank in La Mesa to North Cordova Avenue in Spring Valley. During the six-month assessment period, Echologics, LLC will use acoustic technology to continuously monitor the pipeline and provide the district with real-time information regarding the leak status of the pipeline, including location, size and confidence level of potential leaks.

Upon completion of the phase I condition assessment portion of the project described above, staff will prepare a detailed work plan incorporating the data gathered from phase I to perform additional potholing and repairs (phase II). Staff will return to the board to present the findings and recommendations from the phase I assessment prior to finalizing the phase II project scope of work.

Staff recommends the board authorize the general manager to execute a professional services agreement between Helix Water District and Echologics, LLC of Atlanta, Georgia in the amount of $68,050; and appropriate additional funds in the amount of $80,000 from schedule 64, item 18 of the fiscal year 2017-18 capital budget for the Carmichael pipeline

condition assessment project, Work Order 4978. The board has previously authorized appropriation of funds in the amount of $70,000 for the project, bringing the total project appropriation to $150,000. Funds in the amount of $70,000 have been budgeted within schedule 64, item 18 of the fiscal year 2017-18 budget. Additional funds will be available this fiscal year following the mid-year capital budget adjustment.

EchoShore®-TX System Description

One unit of an EchoShore®-TX leak monitoring system rs ,known as a node and consists of an acoustic sensor connected to the water colurm, a battery, and ccxrmmicalions equiprrent Echologics will instaU Seven (7) EchoShore nodes at preselocted locations aloog 1he ;pipeline(s) to be rrcmitored. The EchoShore-TX leak rmnitoring system can be configured to rmnitor additional Wciter quafity parameters such as terrperaiure, static pressure, or chlorine residual.

The nodes are designed to capture acoustic data using sensiti.e hydrophones. The hydrophones capture the sound profile of the pipe and the nodes transrrit the data each night to Echolog ics' servers. The servers flag any potential leaks and prormt Echologics leak specialists to aTIBlyze the files. Echologics specialists analyze the acoustic data on a daily basis. Leak locations are irrrned iately conrrunicatecl .to Hefix Water District for further action.

An e.xafll)le of an EchoShore®-TX node installed in an air ,release valve cnanner is sho'Ml in figure one MJre details of the EchoShore®-TX system are outlined in the sections bekm.

Figure 1 EchoS~ TX Nooe: Designed for installation in existing chamber., includes acoustic sensor, processor, and communications hard\iare

The EchoShore® system is formed from nodes that are spaced up to 2,500 linear feet apart The system will detect leaks on transrrission pipe systems full of water wth owr 15psi of pressure. Each EchoShore- lX node captures acoustic data files at a user-specified interval, often daily, and v.irelessly uploads the file to a secure server \oia a cellular netv..ork. Uploaded recordings are digitally filtered to rem:J\<e unnecessary noise from traffic and other sources. The EchoShore-TX head-end system analyses the filiered acoustic recordings to deterrrine if leaks or other anomalies are present on the transrrission pipe. If potential leaks are identified the system can either irrmediately send a leak alert to designated qperations staff and automatically calls for an additional acoustic recording to increase confidence in Hie initial leak ooalysis EchoShore-TX leak rmnitoring system has a false !X)siti~ rate of less than 10%. When the EchoShore-TX system issued an alert there is an event occurring on the pipe.

The EchoShore- TX leak analysis ser\oice is managed by Echologics. Echologics staff and automated software tools conduct the leak rmnitoring and win provde email or SMS text message alerts to the District defined users 'Mien a leak is detected. Access to the EchoShore-TX web user interface is included with the leak monitoring serves. The EchoShore-TX v.eb user interface provides access to the history of an leak detection readings corrceted, the current system status, and information about past leak imestigations. ,He~x Water District may use the EchoShore­ TX v.eb user interface as a leak managen-ent and tracking system in order to maintain a historical leakage record & generate oork orders.

Comment from the Public Regarding District Staff

Strategic Focus Area:

Customer Service

Recommendation:

The board receive a comment from the public regarding district staff.

Background:

Helix Water District has a long tradition of sharing comments from the public with the board of directors. This allows the board to monitor a primary focus area of the district: to provide outstanding service to its customers. Employees strive to provide excellent customer service by being understanding, supportive and responsive to customers' needs.

The district received the attached email from California State University, San Marcos, Professor Emeritus Lee Brown, complimenting: System Operations Manager Michelle P. Berens, Plant Operator II Jesse A. Bartlett-May and Assistant Engineer Jeffrey J. MacMaster. All three have completed Mr. Brown's course, Environmental Policy and Issues for Water Resource Managers earning A's. Mr. Brown stated, "/ am confident they will have wonderful careers in the water industry and can recommend their competency without reservation. 11

Congratulations and thank you to Michelle, Jesse and Jeff for representing the district with intelligence and professionalism.

Subject: Three From Helix

Hola! Carlos,

The "Three from Helix" sounds like a spaghetti western but in this case its far better. WTRM 421, "Environmental Policy and Issues for Water Resource Managers" is just winding down and it has been one of the best classes I have had the pleasure of meeting over the last half-century. For the record I just wanted to let you, and the Helix Board, know what a delight it was to have Michelle Berens, Jesse Bartlett May, and Jeff MacMasters as participants in the seminar. All received well earned "A's" for the course, came to class prepared and contributed frequently---their involvement made my task much easier. I am confident they well have wonderful careers in the water industry and can recommend their competency without reservation.

With warm regard,

Lee

PS: Thank you so much for being involved in the program too; it really meant a lot to me.

A. Lee Brown, Jr. Ph.D. Professor emeritus
