DSRSD – District
Engineering Services
From 1985 to 1996, the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD)
retained WBA to provide District engineering services. DSRSD
provides water and sewer utility services within the cities of
Dublin and San Ramon and wastewater treatment for the cities
of Dublin, San Ramon and Pleasanton. As these cities have experienced
rapid development, there was an ongoing need to enlarge and expand
the utilities in the service area. A major part of WBA services,
as District Engineer, was to provide technical planning for system
growth and improvements.
WBA worked with DSRSD
to identify, evaluate and implement improvements to the water
and wastewater facilities. This included evaluating
and estimating the cost of long-range planning alternatives and
recommending the most effective projects for implementation. WBA
provided project and construction managers for District CIP projects,
and was responsible for design of facilities that were built by
the District. WBA was responsible for ensuring that developer built
facilities conformed to District policies and construction standards.
This work often involved coordination of the construction of the
utilities with the installation of the other utilities and transportation
facilities as well as the acquisition of easements and rights-of-way
for the utilities.
SKF – District
Engineering Services
WBA has been providing district engineering services to the Selma-Kingsburg-Fowler
County Sanitation District (SKF) since 1985. Principals of WBA
have enjoyed a continuous working relationship with SKF since 1975.
SKF provides regional wastewater treatment services for the communities
of Selma, Kingsburg and Fowler in Fresno County. As District Engineer,
WBA is responsible for assisting SKF in the planning and implementation
of system modifications to accommodate development in the area.
This includes reviewing the individual planning and zoning assumptions
in each community and determining their effects on the SKF interceptor
and treatment facilities. Based on these reviews, WBA provides
alternative solutions with cost estimates and implementation schedules
for modifications and rehabilitation programs that need to be undertaken.
Other services include the design and construction management of
system improvements.
DSRSD – WWTP
Plant Expansion And Improvements
WBA has managed the program to expand and improve the wastewater
treatment plant for the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD).
The program is ongoing and, thus far, has consisted of a variety
of projects to expand the capacity of the treatment plant from
11.5 mgd to 17 mgd, to reduce odors at the plant, improve electrical
system reliability, implement operational improvements, and increase
the effluent pumping capacity from 30 mgd to 75 mgd. The cost
of the improvements is over $50 million. WBA was responsible
for developing the projects and for scheduling all the work to
complete the planning, design and construction of the plant projects.
In addition, WBA developed all contracts needed, and managed
and coordinated the work of consultants and contractors to complete
the projects in a timely fashion.
FSSD – Engineering
and Operations Management
The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) is a special district
that provides wastewater treatment, collection, and disposal services
to approximately 115,000 residents in the cities of Fairfield and
Suisun City. A WBA employee furnished a variety of engineering
services while employed at FSSD as the Engineering and Operations
Manager for ten years. General responsibilities included the management
of staff, consultants, and contractors for the planning, design,
construction, operation and maintenance of all District facilities.
Specific engineering responsibilities included development and
implementation of the long-term capital improvement program (CIP)
and major maintenance programs to expand the system to meet the
needs of growth, handle peak weather flows, and maintain the existing
infrastructure. The program was implemented using a variety of
in-house staff and consultants, and required the development of
budgets, development of standard contract documents and details,
the management of bidding and RFP processes, the negotiation of
engineering and construction contracts, the acquisition of regulatory
permits, and coordination with numerous public agencies. Presentations
were made to the FSSD Board of Directors for all projects and programs
as needed.
