<br /> <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 2-3 Woodard & Curran, Inc. <br />Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025 <br />Due to the limited CCTV data available (~30% of the system), assumptions were made for the long -term <br />CIP about the total number of pipes that would require near-term R&R while the City completes its CCTV <br />inspections. It was assumed that the same proportion of pipes identified for R&R in the 2025 condition <br />assessment would apply to the rest of the system (e.g. if 10 pipes were identified in 2025 with an R&R <br />decision because of defects present in the pipes, about 23 pipes would require an R&R decision in the <br />portion of the system without CCTV data). This assumption will be revisited once the CCTV inspection of <br />the system is completed, and the gravity condition assessment is updated based on the additional <br />inspections. <br />2.2 Lift Station Condition Assessment <br />Lift stations are regularly inspected by operators and the findings recorded on the City’s lift station <br />inspection forms. The lift stations also underwent an engineering assessment as part of the long-term CIP <br />process. The engineering assessment was completed in January 2025 by Woodard & Curran. The evaluation <br />process included an initial review of record drawings and miscellaneous documents followed by onsite <br />inspections and assessments of each station’s configuration, process condition, mechanical conditio n, <br />observed structural condition, safety, operations and maintenance issues, electrical facilities, and overall <br />long-term reliability. In addition, Woodard & Curran coordinated with City staff for input on which lift <br />stations present the highest risk in terms of day-to-day operations. The assessment also incorporated the <br />findings and recommendations of a separate generator study completed by TJC and Associates. <br />During the inspection of each lift station, issues were highlighted that may warrant additional attention or <br />future improvements. For each facility, these identified issues were given numerical criticality (1 = Fair/Good, <br />2 = Poor, 3 = Crucial) and categorized into six (6) groups: Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Site, <br />and Health & Safety. Recommended lift station improvements based on the results of the lift station <br />condition assessments were prioritized and have been scheduled in the City’s long-term CIP. Additional <br />assumptions about future lift station rehabilitation were also included in the long -term CIP based on the <br />ages and criticality of each lift station. These rehabilitation assumptions represent high level electrical, <br />mechanical, process, health and safety, and minor site upgrades that are needed based on the age of the <br />lift station. <br />2.3 Sewer Capacity Evaluation <br />A sewer system capacity evaluation was conducted by Woodard & Curran in 2024; the analysis used a <br />calibrated all-pipes model of the City’s sewer network to determine if any pipelines did not meet the City’s <br />capacity criteria. The model was developed in Infoworks ICMTM and used water billing data from 2017 <br />through 2021 (with 2020 being omitted due to its assumed irregular water usage due to COVID19 stay -at- <br />home orders) as the basis for existing base wastewater flows. The model was calibrated to flow meters <br />installed at several different locations across the sewer network. This calibrated data was the basis for the <br />dry weather flow scenarios that would be used in the capacity evaluation. For wet weather, a 25 -year design <br />storm was chosen based on City input that closely matched a large storm event that occurred during the <br />flow monitoring period. This design storm served as the basis for the wet weather flow scenarios that would <br />be used in the capacity evaluation. <br />The capacity criteria used for the evaluation specified that sewers should flow no more than ¾ full under <br />peak dry weather conditions and water level in manholes should rise no higher than to 3 feet below ground <br />(freeboard) under a design peak wet weather flow condition. Under existing sewer flows, no sewers in the <br />Page 222 of 323
