<br /> <br /> <br />City of Pleasanton, CA (0012108.00) 3-1 Woodard & Curran, Inc. <br />Pleasanton Long-Term Sewer CIP October 6, 2025 <br />3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS <br />In this section, the projects identified in Section 2 are analyzed based on system importance, regulatory <br />requirements, and City goals to determine their project priority. A brief description of all projects, their <br />priorities, and their relative costs are also included in this Section. <br />3.1 Project Prioritization <br />• Priority Level A: the highest priority projects, defined as projects in need of immediate <br />repair/replacement because of imminent failure, or safety hazard. Critical infrastructure that could <br />result in a sewer spill if left unaddressed, or not meeting the City’s current hydraulic design criteria. <br />This priority level also includes inspection of critical assets missing condition data so the extent of <br />any future rehabilitation or replacement needs can be determined. <br />• Priority Level B: the medium priority projects, defined as projects in need of near -term, <br />repair/replacement because of deteriorating/poor condition. This priority level also includes <br />assumptions about asset replacement/rehabilitation identified as part of the inspection performed <br />in priority level A. <br />• Priority Level C: the lowest priority projects , these projects include work anticipated based on <br />assumed asset condition but the scope and schedules of these projects are not defined. This priority <br />also includes the re-inspection and condition assessment of critical infrastructure. <br />3.2 Cost Estimating Assumptions <br />3.2.1 Capital Costs <br />Recent bid tabs, vendor quotes, City staff input, and Woodard & Curran’s institutional knowledge have been <br />used to establish the estimated costs for the repair, replacement, rehabilitation, inspection, and analysis <br />recommendations identified in the long-term CIP. All capital costs shown include a 30 percent construction <br />contingency and 30 percent allowance for engineering, administration, and legal costs per the Association <br />of the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Class 4 standards and City preference. The costs provided <br />are in November 2024 dollars with no escalation or inflation applied. These estimates are subject to change <br />and will be further refined at the design stage. <br />3.2.2 Operation and Maintenance Costs <br />The operation and maintenance (O&M) programs identified align with Element 8 of the SSMP. Cost <br />estimates for these programs were provided by City staff. These costs reflect work performed by contractors <br />or engineers supporting the City on specific projects and do not include typical day-to-day O&M expenses <br />or internal staff resources. A detailed list of O&M costs will be developed by City staff and is not included <br />in this report. <br />3.2.3 Engineering Resources <br />To support the implementation of capital improvement projects recommended in the long -term CIP, <br />additional staffing will be required. For planning purposes, it was assumed that one additional full -time <br />equivalent (FTE) staff member would be needed for every $4 to $5 million in annual capital project spending. <br />Page 227 of 323
