CC - Item 8A - Emergency Generator For City Hall - Award Consulting Contract for the Design Phase7 !ilk
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JULY 13, 2010
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY GENERATOR FOR CITY HALL -AWARD CONSULTING
CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN PHASE
SUMMARY
As part of the City's Fiscal Year 2010 -11 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council
approved funding to replace the existing undersized and inadequate standby generator
at City Hall with a new 250 kW engine emergency generator.
The existing backup generator at City Hall is 13 kW and only backs up a limited number
of operational activities. Several electrical outlets/ utilities are not currently tied to the
existing generator, including the majority of facility lighting, air conditioning system,
computers and telecommunications devices. Upgrading the existing generator would
allow City operations to be fully operational during a power outage or an emergency, for
up to 72 hours.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Consultant Lee & Ro, Inc. for
Design Engineering and Construction Management services for the installation of a
new 250 kW emergency generator at City Hall for an amount of not -to- exceed $69,960.
DISCUSSION
Background
The existing emergency generator at City Hall is a Cummins 13 kW that was installed in
1967. The generator is maintained regularly by City staff and Cummins Pacific including
testing and preventative maintenance to keep the generator operable. In case of a
power failure, the generator is able to power all exit lights at City Hall, the computer
server and some electrical outlets.

Paae 2 of 4
In fall 2009, the existing transformer that powers the Civic Center complex surged,
causing a temporary power outage. When the outage occurred, the emergency
generator became operable and immediately powered the limited electrical operations
that are tied to the generator. After experiencing this outage, the City Council asked
staff to research larger generator options that would allow City Hall to remain fully
operational during a power outage.
Due to the specialized nature of the emergency generator infrastructure, staff conducted
an informal interview process with three (3) mechanical engineering firms to discuss
potential options for expanding the current generator. The firms interviewed included
Innovative Engineering Group, Inc (Monterey Park); Lee and Ro, Inc. (Industry); and
TMAD Taylor and Gaines (Pasadena). Based on qualifications and past experience on
similar projects, Lee and Ro Inc. was selected to perform an initial assessment of
existing equipment, utility usage, generator alternatives and cost estimates for the
installation of new generators.
The Consultant's initial assessment is herein included (Attachment 1) and describes
conceptual plans and cost estimates for the potential installation of new generator
equipment. The assessment includes options to install emergency generators at the
three (3) major City facilities (i.e. City Hall, Rosemead Community and Recreation
Center, and the Garvey Center). However due to budgetary constraints, the project was
scaled back to cover City Hall only. The work necessary for the completion of the project
will consist of designing, procuring and installing a new diesel powered emergency
backup generator. It will also include the construction of new concrete foundation slab,
instrumentation, testing, certification through the South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) and commissioning of the new equipment.
As part of the initial scope of work, the Consultant had included feasibility and cost
estimates for the three (3) City facilities. These estimated costs are planning level
figures that include procurement, installation, permitting and certification. They also
include the Consultant's fee for Design Engineering and Construction Management
services, which was estimated at $105,000 for each facility. The total project estimates
are as follows:

As previously stated and due to this year's budgetary constraints, the scope of work has
been reduced to providing emergency capability to the City Hall building only. City Hall
serves as the City's Alternate Emergency Operations Center in the event of a disaster or
emergency. Furthermore, City Hall houses the City's main computer servers and is the
hub of City operations. It should also be noted that the Public Safety Center currently
has adequate generator equipment to maintain operations during an emergency power
loss.
It is planned to follow a phased approach to the replacement of generators at City
facilities. City Hall would be completed this fiscal year, and the remaining facilities would
be completed in subsequent years depending on funding availability.
Staff has met with the Consultant and was able to negotiate down the initial estimated
consulting fee of $105,000 per facility to $69,960 for City Hall. A copy of the scope of
services, engineering cost estimate, and consultant qualifications are included in
Attachment 1.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The total appropriation needed to proceed with this project is $69,960, which includes
Design Engineering work and Construction Management/ Inspection for the new
generator unit at City Hall. Once the design work is complete, staff will return with plans
and specifications to authorize construction work.
Funding for this project has been approved in the City's FY 2010 -11 Capital
Improvement Program budget as the "City Hall Generator Replacement ". The funding
source of this project is general fund monies.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15304 (a) of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines. This
exemption covers projects involving minor alterations of land that do not have a
significant effect on the environment.

Re: Proposal to Provide Engineering Design, Construction Support and Construction
Management/inspection Services for Installation of Three Emergency Generators
for the City of Rosemead Facilities 44415A
Dear Mr. Hentabli:
LEE & RO, Inc. (LEE & RO) is pleased to provide engineering design, construction
support and constructioOn management/inspection services to the City for installation
three emergency generators for three separate building facilities owned by the City. The
three building facilities to be equipped with emergency generation systems are the City
Hall, Rosemead Community Recreation Center (RCRC) and Garvey Center.
The City of Rosemead (City) has identified the need for standby power generators at
three of its existing facilities. The City has also contacted the Cummins Power
Generation local representative to provide a preliminary sizing and proposal for
supplying standby generators at the three facilities. LEE & RO has reviewed the
Cummins Power Generation information and the City's Southern California Edison
(SCE) billing information between the periods of May 2009 to October 2009. LEE & RO
also visited each of the sites with the City staff to inspect electrical rooms and identify
possible standby generator sites.
The preliminary analysis indicates that the 250 kW engine - generator sets are suitable at
the City Hall and the RCRC facilities. Garvey Center would need a 300 kW engine -
generator set. The preliminary design phase will further evaluate the loads and confirm
the engine - generator sizes at each facility. Due to impending regulatory change from
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) effective January 1, 2011, all
new standby diesel generators will be required to comply with Tier 4 interim emission
requirements. The new emission requirements call for the use of particulate filters and
selective catalytic reduction filters on the exhaust system. The additional exhaust filters
likely wi uble the cost of the standby generator system. LEE & RO recommends that
t 1 y comple e e egwpmen procuremen ber 31, 2010 in order stay with
the current less stringent SCAQMD regulations and avoid the additional cost impacts.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Rosemead (City) has identified the need for standby power generators at
three of its existing facilities. The City has also contacted the Cummins Power Genera-
tion local representative to provide a preliminary sizing and proposal for supplying
standby generators at the three facilities. LEE & RO, Inc. has reviewed the Cummins
Power Generation information and the City's Southern California Edison (SCE) billing
information between the periods of May 2009 to October 2009. LEE & RO visited each
of the sites with the City staff to inspect electrical rooms and identify possible standby
generator sites.
The Cummins Power Generation recommendations for using a 250 kW generator at City
Hall and a 250 kW generator at RCRC appears to be a suitable match for the highest
maximum power demand shown on the electrical demand data form Southern California
Edison (SCE). The Cummins Power Generation recommendation to use a 300 kW gen-
erator at the Garvey Center seems to be slightly larger than what would be required for
the maximum power demand shown on the SCE historical demand data. LEE & RO will
confirm the 300 kW standby generator capacity during the design phase. We have used
300 kW capacity engine - generator for Garvey Center for the planning level construction
cost estimate. The location of a standby generator must be in proximity to the incoming
power source to minimize costs for cables /conduits and related facilities. The proposed

standby generators have been located in proximity to the electrical rooms at the three
buildings.
The standby generator for City Hall will be
located on the southeast corner of the build-
ing immediately west of the existing
transformer/ loading dock area (Exhibit 1-
1). The generator will be placed in a
reinforced concrete containment area and
will be screened by a concrete masonry unit
(CMU) wall to match the City Hall building.
The generator will be provided with a diesel
fuel base tank capable of running the
generator for 72 hours. The generator will
be provided with a sound attenuated

Garvey. The automatic transfer switch for the electrical feed into the Garvey Center will
be located in the existing electrical room.
LEE & RO recommends that the City facilitate procurement of the standby engine -
generators prior to end of 2010 to avoid large cost impact from the impending South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulations effective January 2011.
The new regulations would require the use of particulate filters and selective catalytic
reduction filters on the exhaust system for the engine generators. The incremental costs
would likely double the cost of the standby generator system.

As a cost effectiveness variant, LEE & RO analyzed estimated construction costs with
the portable instead of fixed generators for the RCRC and Garvey Center facilities. The
following summarizes evaluation of the portable standby generators for RCRC and
Garvey Center facilities. The portable standby generator system consists of a standby
diesel generator mounted on a trailer. Although the City of Rosemead intends to store
the generator at the point of use, mounting the generator on a trailer will enable it to be
used at other locations. Permanent facilities for the portable standby generator system
will also be required for its effective use. These facilities include the following:
• 72 -hour fuel storage
• Fuel storage containment
• Generator connection to building power system.
• Automatic power transfer switch.
• Standby generator parking slab.
The costs associated with portable trailer mounted standby generators for RCRC and
Garvey Center are shown below:

The overall costs for the RCRC and Garvey Center portable standby generator system
get reduced by $112,000 and $184,000 respectively relative to the equivalent permanent
installations. The combined cost for all three sites would reduce from $1,672,000 to
$1,376,000 with the use of portable generators for two of the three sites.
Project Management Approach
LEE & RO's management approach will focus on the commitment of the proposed pro-
ject team, project communication, production efficiency, maintaining schedules, control-
ling budgets, production of high quality deliverables, and delivering quality services to
the client. The LEE & RO Project Manager will participate in the project with these goals
in mind and will have responsibility for successful project completion.
Communication. Timely, frequent and detailed communication is an essential tool for
project success. Communication must also follow established lines and be well docu-
mented in order to assure that all project partners who need to know are informed.
Willingness to Listen to and Work with the City staff. LEE & RO believes that the active
participation of the engineering and operations staff in our design process not only im-
proves the quality of our design, but also expedites the design process. The LEE & RO
team will work as an extension of the City Staff.
Specialty Discipline Coordination. The quality and consistency of our design documents
and the constructability of the project is dependent on the coordinated effort of all disci-

plines and team members. Effective communication between disciplines, well- organized
and central project records will be project management priorities.
Quality Assurance. At LEE & RO, design reviews are performed to obtain input from
experienced design and construction management staff. The proposed facilities modify
existing building facilities to a limited extent. During preparation of construction docu-
ments, LEE & RO will implement a thorough constructability review to anticipate and
mitigate potential construction issues during the Preliminary and Final Design Phases.
QA /QC Approach
LEE & RO focuses on the quality of services. Our senior engineering managers will per-
form independent review of our deliverables before each milestone submittal is made to
the City. Our review team has been through numerous planning studies involving de-
sign, construction and O &M issues related to engine - generators projects to add signifi-
cant value to successful outcome of the project. The QA /QC team will review the engi-
neering standards and guidelines applicable to the project to make sure that our deliver-
ables are produced in accordance with the job standards. The QA /QC effort will antici-
pate and address issues and potential roadblocks that could cause a significant devia-
tion from the City goals and standards for this project.
Each milestone deliverable submittal will be accompanied with a written statement by
the Project Principal (Dhiru Patel) and the Project Manager (Sal Calderon) that the
documents being submitted have been checked for design adequacy, completeness,
consistency, and discipline coordination.
Project Cost Control
Budget constraints are an important factor to the success of each project. LEE & RO will
render opinions at the outset of the project whether the project economy is in check. In
addition, LEE & RO will update potential design /construction costs at each task or pro-
ject milestone. Any deviation from the task or project plan will be discussed with the City
staff during the progress meetings. For any project, effective management of project
engineering budgets is a critical item. When there is a budget shortfall, the client con-
sultant relationship may deteriorate. LEE & RO thoroughly monitors engineering costs
versus progress for projects on a weekly basis using our in -house cost tracking system.
This system provides weekly reports on manpower and expenditures and tracks project
budgets versus costs.

Engineering, Oxidation Retrofit Program (ORP) Project, Weymouth Water.
.nf Dlanf`.. Mnfrnnnlifen W.fnr nic4rirf of Cni.f6nrn
In.accordance with Stage 1 of the EPA Microbial /Disinfection Byproducts (M /DBP) Rule,
which became effective on January 2002, Metropolitan has been implementing the ORP
projects at all five water treatment plants. The M /DBP Rule includes two elements: new
and reduced MCLs for DBP and implementation of a treatment technique such as ozone
or chlorine dioxide disinfection for total organic removal from surface waters.
Metropolitan has elected to provide ozone disinfection as the core ORP process for all
five filtration plants. The $130 million ORP project components for the 600 mgd capacity
Weymouth Filtration Plant include an ozone generator building with ozone generators
and accessory equipment; ozone contactors and spent ozone destruction equipment,
liquid oxygen (LOX) storage tanks and feeding facility; influent hydraulic conduits and
hydraulic improvements, ozone contactor inlet control structure, chemical tank farms for
caustic, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hypochlorite; new Switchgear and
power distribution facilities; and various improvements to and modifications of plant
utilities, controls and SCADA systems. LEE & RO is responsible for the preliminary and
final design of a new 66 kV power feed, a new switchgear building with emergency
generators, standby fuel storage facilities, addition of new power centers, and plant -wide
4.16 kV electrical power distribution system. LEE & RO produced a total of 260
drawings. The project is currently in construction.
itor, Castaic Lake Water Agencv'`
The SCPS, built in 2006, includes six 900 HP vertical turbine pumps. The SCPS is the
only pump station that conveys water to the east side of CLWA's service area. The
SCPS is not equipped with standby power capabilities, thereby creating the potential for
water supply disruption to the east side of the service area. The water supply handled
by the SCPS is expected to increase after successful completion of the Rio Vista Water
Treatment Plant pipeline to SCPS, resulting in significant increases in energy usage and
cost. LEE & RO conducted a site investigation and engineering analysis for eliminating
the station's vulnerability to power failure. The options analyzed include installation of
engine driven pumps and standby generation. Natural gas engine generators and
natural gas fuel cell generators were also evaluated. The final design, currently
underway, includes a 1750 kW diesel - fueled emergency generator, a generator building
sized to accommodate one additional emergency generator, an above ground diesel fuel
storage tank sized for 72 -hour engine generator operation, an automatic transfer switch,
and associated architectural, landscaping, structural, mechanical /electrical /plumbing
(MEP), security and communications, and civil /paving /grading design elements. LEE &
RO will also design an engine cooling system utilizing the water being pumped.

weather flow of 24.8 mgd. The IPS, equipped with five pumps with variable frequency
drives (VFDs), lifts primary effluent from the sedimentation basins to the aeration basins.
SOCWA has experienced problems with pump operation and control systems, especially
when the normal power is out and the emergency generator has to come on line.
Pumping rates are automatically adjusted to maintain a constant preset level in the
primary sedimentation tanks. Primary sedimentation basins overflow due to an IPS
failure will lead to catastrophic spills. In accordance with the study results, LEE & RO
designed replacement of variable frequency drives (VFDs), pump control PLC, existing
100 KW with a 200 KW generator, a standby pump, install new emergency power motor
control centers and new emergency PLC control panel, new electrical wiring, and new
bubbler system. The total estimated cost of reliability improvements is $750,000.

engine exhaust. The new fuel management system also allowed the engines to
operate automatically with varying fuel heating values (500 to 1100 Btu /CF) at
any time during operation without any operator attendance. This system
simplified the fuel delivery system to the engines by eliminating the need to dilute
the make -up natural gas with air, prior to delivery to the engine fuel manifold.
The reporting system provided a computer to log all the system operating data
for use in preparing (printing) forms required by the local Air Pollution Control
District. Emission control equipment consisted primarily of a low pressure Binax
Scrubber, using only water to remove hydrogen sulfide, and engine modifications
using the Pre - Stratified Control system (PSC).

RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
McKesson Utility Upgrade: Existing switchboard required to be upgraded to a
larger service. The large 250Ksf warehouse required to be conditioned space.
The additional HVAC required a larger service to handle them. Also, they
required an emergency generator to backup all new equipment and the ability to
add additional solar in the future. A new 3000A main switchboard was added with
a 4000A horizontal bus to handle a future solar inverter. This gear back fed the
existing main switchboard which had an existing generator. The new system also
required a new 2mega watt generator. A automatic transfer switch was provided.
An extension of future busing off the new switchgear was indicated for the future
solar inverter. This project's single line was not enormous in size but a lot of
planning had to be done because of all the items above. Layout and coordination
of the equipment outside required attention and planning with the utility planner.
Carbine Studios TI (25K sq ft office space): Large office with large power
requirements. The computer game developing company required many open
office cubicles. Server room required floor mounted UPS with local distribution
panels to hard wired cable tray mounted NEMA receptacles for required PDU
specified by client's IT consultant. Server room was equipment with standard
EPO switch, emergency power off panel, and security panel.
HB Library - Cooling Tower Replacement (1 K sq ft site): Replaced existing
broke cooling tower with new energy efficient cooling tower. The new cooling
tower required us to extend (2) existing feeders that server the old cooling tower.
A problem came up when we told the contractor that the existing conductors from
the existing feeder could not feed both piece of equipment. I had to explain that
we had to use the 60 degree column of table 310.16. He stated the existing wire
was rated to handle 90 degree but a responded by stating that the termination
points had to be rated the same way and stated that the fuses were only rated for
65 degrees (old). In the end they found out there was another feeder out there so
everything turned out fine.
UPS Temecula (300K sq ft site P40K sq ft warehouse): Significant add on to
the client existing building. New service added to building which backfed existing
switchboard. New main switchgear used Kirk Key Manual transfer switch for
drive up generator which bid out less than half the alternative manual transfer
switch. Dispel gas dispensers were added for freight trucks. Site lighting had to
meet UPS standards of 3fc while also meeting Palomar dark sky ordnances

which was accomplished by using low pressure sodium fixtures and typical
California full cut off fixtures. Much care was taken to follow UPS sheet standards
and incorporating multiple UPS standard details.
The Summit -Valve (81K sq ft office space): Medium sized office with large
power requirements. The computer game developing company required that
each desk have one dedicated receptacle because an XBOX, PS3, 2 pc's, and 2
large monitor would be plugged in at the same time. This high density office
required us to bring additional power from the first floor main switch board for the
server room. Specialty lighting consisted of pendants located in between
structural beams, linear pendants in conference rooms, and track lighting in
games room. Sewer room required floor mounted UPS with local distribution
panels to hard wired cable tray mounted NEMA receptacles for required PDU
specified by client's IT consultant. Server room was equipment with standard
EPO switch, emergency power off panel, and security panel.
St. John - Derian Server Room (1 K sq ft Server Room): Server room required
certain NEMA plugged for various server racks from their existing building. Fire
Marshall required us to produce hydrogen amounts available in room from rack
mounted UPS batteries.
LEED - Inland Valley Humane Society (13K office space): This project is
currently under consideration for a Gold LEED certification. Electrically, solar
panels were added to the roof for the On -Site Renewable Energy credit. Forms
required calculations for the amount of kwh produced by the solar panels. After
acquiring the light density level for the area based on average annual studies, it
was added to the equation with the inverter kw to give the total kwh. We received
3 points for EA -2. Site lighting involved replacing dome lenses with flat lenses for
the full cut off requirement for dark skies which help us receive another credit.
Together with our in house mechanical engineer the total energy use was
reduced tremendously versus the base line standards which help us receive 8
points for optimized energy performance credit EA -1. We used energy ro's built in
utility for as our baseline. The lighting design to reduce energy use required a
reduction of overall wattage use by following IES recommendation for the various
areas and using new daylight harvesting photocells with dimmable fixture
Ecosystem ballasts. The overall building load, HVAC branch circuits, gas/ water
metering, and lighting branch circuits were all monitored. The Controllability of
Systems: Lighting EQ -6.1 credit was accomplished easily since Title 24 already
requires automatic controls for all lighting.
UPS Ontario (14K sq ft warehouse /1 OK sq ft office): The office consisted of
mostly typical lighting and power. However, the pilot sleeping quarters required
walking path led light sources. The warehouse work shop equipment that had to
be relocated to new locations due to the new office spaces. Also, a dust booth for
machining equipment required at first only a fused disconnect. However, the
inspector required us to sign off on the electrical for the dust booth installed
contractor. After field verification I had noticed that the 1 awg parallel fed
conductors did not meet the CEC 310.4 minimum conductor size of 1/0 awg.
Noted on our electrical drawings that the existing feeder would have to be
replaced.
