To: Mayor and City Council
From: Susan Cline, Director, Public Works, Engineering and Street Services
Subject: Adoption of Resolution to Accept the Regional Fund Transfer of Safe, Clean
Water Program (Measure W) Funds
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution to accept the regional fund transfer of Safe, Clean
Water (Measure W) funds from the County of Los Angeles Flood Control District;
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute agreements to
receive the funds; and
3. Authorize budget changes as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
section of this report.
Summary
The Safe, Clean Water (SCW) Program was approved by Los Angeles County voters
on November 6, 2018. The SCW Program, also referred to as Measure W, authorized
the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (District) to levy a special tax annually on
parcels within the District, which includes the City of Santa Monica. The funds collected
are used for the implementation and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure projects.
Under the SCW Program, 50% of the funds are allocated to regional projects, 40% are
allocated to municipalities as local return, and 10% are allocated to the District for
administration. The funds for regional projects are awarded through a competitive grant
application process. The City submitted a grant application to the District for the
Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) and was awarded $7.5 million over the
next three fiscal years. Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached
resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary
agreements with the District to accept the regional fund transfers.

Discussion
Staff submitted a grant request application for SWIP to the Los Angeles County Flood
Control District (District) on December 15, 2019 requesting $7.5 million of regional
program funds from the District’s Safe, Clean Water Program. Numerous agencies
submitted a total of ten applications for Infrastructure Program funding and the District
preliminarily ranked nine infrastructure projects to continue through the scoring process.
As the scoring process unfolded over several meetings, SWIP remained in the pool of
potentially funded projects. On October 13, 2020, the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors approved the final list of approved grant applications and SWIP was
awarded $7.5 million.
The SWIP project will construct a new 1.5 million gallon capacity harvesting tank for
stormwater and urban runoff collection and a new 1 million gallon-per-day production
capacity advanced water treatment facility to treat a combination of wastewater and
stormwater for non-potable reuse (e.g. irrigation, toilet flushing) and groundwater
recharge. SWIP will also upgrade the existing Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling
Facility with a new reverse-osmosis process to treat urban runoff and stormwater for
non-potable reuse and groundwater recharge. The total SWIP project budget of $95.9
million remains unchanged at this time.
The SCW Program grant funds of $7.5 million would replace existing funding of $7.5
million in budgeted construction costs at the Clean Beach and Ocean Parcel Tax (16),
Wastewater (51), and Stormwater (52) Funds over the next three fiscal years. The
overall scope and cost of the SWIP Project has not increased; the SCW Program grant
would allow the City to implement similar water quality improvement projects in the
future or reduce debt obligation. The grant would be disbursed in $2.5 million
increments over three fiscal years: FY 2020-21, FY 2021-22, and FY 2022-23.
The City Council previously authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement to
receive the annual transfer of municipal funds from the Safe, Clean Water Program.
Those funds are disbursed annually and not through a competitive, one-time grant
process.

Summary
The City has supplied safe and reliable water service to its residents and businesses for
more than 100 years. To ensure the continued safety, reliability and affordability of that
service, the City’s Sustainable Water Master Plan was updated in 2018, with the goal of
achieving water self-sufficiency by 2023. This goal will be reached through a
combination of water demand reduction strategies and increased development of local
water supplies. Water self-sufficiency will result in long-term cost protection for
ratepayers, a drought resilient local water supply, and a reduced energy footprint
resulting from the elimination of water delivery from distant locations.
As a key strategy to achieve water self-sufficiency, the implementation of the
Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) would supply 1,680 acre-feet per year
(AFY) of clean and reliable water, which represents about 12% of the City’s annual
water demand. The SWIP leverages alternative water resources by treating brackish
(salty) groundwater, stormwater, and municipal wastewater for non-potable reuse and
groundwater recharge.
The City awarded a design build agreement to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. (Kiewit) to
provide design services for the SWIP and subsequently submitted a Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP) for construction services. Staff recommends executing a GMP
amendment in the amount not to exceed $84,973,490 (including $6,050,000 City
contingency) for a total contract amount not to exceed $92,473,490. This represents a
significant increase over the project’s original estimates, primarily due to the rapid rise in
regional public works construction costs.
The City also awarded a professional services agreement to Stantec to provide Owner’s
Engineer services that included engineering oversight and advisory services throughout
the design phase. With the construction phase now fully defined, staff recommends
executing a modification in the amount of $1,090,080 for construction inspection and
support services during the construction phase for a total contract amount not to exceed
$2,740,000.

After value engineering and negotiating based on a submittal from the Design Build
team in May 2019, the total estimated cost for the Project as recommended by staff
is now $95.9 million. This is roughly $26 million over the current budget of $69.9
million approved in 2016. The total estimated cost includes $720,000 for
administrative costs including permitting, public outreach, and prevailing wage
services. Staff recommends that Council approve an additional $19 million loan
financed through the existing Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and an
additional $7 million budget appropriation as detailed below.
Discussion
The City’s Sustainable Water Master Plan (SWMP) outlines a comprehensive plan to
achieve water self-sufficiency by 2023. The SWMP seeks to reduce the City’s reliance
on imported water, develop local groundwater resources, and integrate available local
water resources by treating brackish (salty) groundwater, municipal wastewater, and
wet and dry weather runoff. The Sustainable Water Infrastructure Project (SWIP) would
harvest these water sources and treat them for non-potable uses such as irrigation,
toilet flushing, and recharging the City’s groundwater supply as shown in Figure 1. The
SWIP would be a first-of-its-kind, innovative and progressive Advanced Water
Treatment Facility (AWTF) to be permitted in California for groundwater recharge.
3.D.a
Packet Pg. 145 Attachment: September 10, 2019 Staff Report (4336 : Adopt Resolution to Accept Measure W Grant Funds)

Figure 1: SWIP Overview
The SWIP is a major component of the SWMP as it would provide a sustainable and
drought resilient water resource in its production of advanced treated water for recharge
to local groundwater aquifers. This aquifer recharge would then provide the City with an
increased raw water supply that could then be treated with the implementation of a
second major component of the SWMP: the future Arcadia water treatment plant
expansion.
As depicted in Figure 1, the SWIP consists of an underground AWTF and stormwater
harvesting tank at the Civic Center surface parking lot, and facility enhancements to the
existing Santa Monica Urban Runoff Recycling Facility (SMURRF). Preliminary
renderings of the initial concept design are shown in Attachment A. The AWTF would
produce 1.0 million gallons per day (MGD) of purified water by treating harvested runoff
in the tank and municipal wastewater diverted from the city wastewater system, which
would offset imported water purchases from Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The
tank (the size of more than 2 Olympic sized pools) would have the capacity to harvest
1.5 million gallons (MG) of dry-weather runoff and wet-weather (stormwater) runoff.
Reverse osmosis membrane filtration upgrades and other enhancements to the
3.D.a
Packet Pg. 146 Attachment: September 10, 2019 Staff Report (4336 : Adopt Resolution to Accept Measure W Grant Funds)
5 of 13
SMURRF would allow it to operate at full production and produce 0.5 MGD of treated
water. In total, the SWIP would supply 1,680 acre-feet per year (AFY) of treated water.
Beneficial Use
Besides the increased water supply capacity, the SWIP provides multiple benefits that
include reducing urban runoff discharges to the ocean, improving beach water quality in
the Santa Monica Bay by reducing the amount of polluted water entering the Bay,
advancing compliance with the MS4 permit and Enhanced Watershed Management
Program (EWMP) requirements, and generating a new water resource. The EWMP is a
City stormwater planning program implemented in order to achieve the State’s MS4
permit. The MS4 permit is a State permit regulating discharge water quality for any
water that enters navigable waters. In addition, the SWIP would implement new Civic
Center surface parking lot improvements and enhance access to the adjacent childcare
center and sports field.
Project Costs
The approved $69.9 million budget was developed based on estimates supported by
preliminary information available in 2016. As the design progressed and the detailed
construction scope of the various project elements were more fully defined, the
estimated project costs increased and resulted in an initial GMP of $110.9 million in May
of 2019. Staff was able to reduce the scope and estimate to $92.4 million for a project
total of $95.9 million (including City’s costs such as inspection services and permitting
costs). The higher costs are associated to trending increases in the regional water
production market, shortage of highly skilled labor, volatile material prices, and a large
volume of projects in the Los Angeles region.
With this significant increase in estimated project cost, staff evaluated three options for
next steps: proceed with a reduced scope, do not build, or re-bid with a reduced scope.
The evaluation of options is summarized in Table 1.
Return on Investment

Packet Pg. 147 Attachment: September 10, 2019 Staff Report (4336 : Adopt Resolution to Accept Measure W Grant Funds)
6 of 13
While the SWIP requires a significant upfront capital expenditure, the cost would be
offset by treating and producing more water locally, allowing the City to avoid costly
imported water fees and wastewater fees paid to outside agencies.
Staff conducted a financial analysis comparing future costs of imported water and
avoided wastewater treatment fees against the projected cost of locally produced
water over a 35-year period. The analysis supported the financial viability of the SWIP
even at the $110 million price. The project’s life expectancy of approximately 50 years
well exceeds the 35-year ROI (return on investment).
Proceeding with the SWIP as proposed is critical to the City’s effort to achieve water
self-sufficiency by 2023. Residents and business owners within the City would benefit
from the implementation of SWIP by keeping local water costs lower than without the
project compared to the ongoing cost increases for imported water.
SWIP also represents a major step forward in the City’s effort to meet the requirements
of the City’s stormwater discharge permit (MS4). Non-compliance with the MS4 permit
requirements may subject the City to future penalty assessments ranging between
$1,000 and $10,000 or more per day during a rain event beginning in 2021, which is the
deadline for agencies to comply with their Enhanced Watershed Management Plans.

Staff recommends Option 1, for a total project cost of $95.9 million.
Table 2 provides a comparison of the original budget and the proposed budget. The
proposed budget examines the project moving forward with Option 1, the reduced
scope, 1.5MG tank option. This option requires an additional $26 million in budget, $19
million of which would come from an increase to the CWSRF loan. Staff has
communicated with the State regarding the loan increase and the State has confirmed
funds are available for the SWIP. The State would confirm the final loan approval upon
receiving the City Council Resolution. The execution of the GMP is contingent upon
receiving the increased CWSRF loan. The increased loan amount to fund the SWIP is
already included in the proposed Wastewater Fund rate adjustment scenarios
presented to Council at the August 13, 2019 Council Water/Wastewater Rate Study
Session. Staff is not seeking for any additional budget increases than what was already
presented to Council at the Study Session. Should the proposed Wastewater Fund rate
adjustment not be approved, capital projects and operating budgets in the Wastewater
Fund would need to be reduced by approximately $13 million over the next 5 years to
cover the increased SWIP cost covered by the Wastewater Fund. Potential cuts would
include forgoing certain maintenance activities and deferring the annual wastewater
main replacement program during that period. While there is always some risk in
reducing maintenance activities and deferring capital improvements, the cuts would be
to the wastewater system on non-pressurized pipes, which are less subject to breaks
and leaks than the pressurized potable system. The cuts would not impact potable
water infrastructure. Proposed budget increases are detailed by fund in table 2 and in
the financial section.

project schedule and construction impacts. The project was presented to the Task
Force on the Environment subcommittee on August 19, 2019. The subcommittee
supports the SWIP and moving forward with Option 1.
Permitting
This project will require multiple permits which include, but are not limited to, California
Coastal Commission, Building and Safety (for surface improvements), and the Regional

and obtain all necessary permits.
Environmental Analysis
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Mitigated Negative Declaration, the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan, and the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) documents for the project were certified by the Santa Monica City Council on
September 27, 2016, and the Notice of Determination was filed at the State
Clearinghouse on September 30, 2016. An addendum to the Mitigated Negative
Declaration was also prepared in October 2018 to reflect the change and is provided as

Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Approval of the recommended action requires the following:
1. Modification to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Funding
Agreement (reference to Attachment G, State Water Board loan agreement).
A loan increase of $19,000,000 is required to increase the project budget. Staff
recommends Council to authorize a resolution to apply for the modification
increasing the loan amount and to adopt the Reimbursement Resolution and
3.D.a
Packet Pg. 152 Attachment: September 10, 2019 Staff Report (4336 : Adopt Resolution to Accept Measure W Grant Funds)
11 of 13
Pledged Revenue and Fund(s) Resolution. The State has confirmed the additional
funding is available to be allocated to SWIP. Upon adoption of the resolution, staff
would begin the administrative process of application and execution for an updated
loan agreement with the State.
The annual debt service on the additional $19 million in loan proceeds, which totals
approximately $835,000, will be shared by the Clean Beaches and Ocean Parcel
Tax (16) Fund and the Wastewater (51) Fund. The 16 Fund will pay debt service on
$6 million of the loan and the 51 Fund will pay debt service on the remaining
$13 million loan amount. The split between the funds for the additional loan amount
is in line with how the rest of project costs are divided, which is based on the
proportional benefits to Water Resources and the Stormwater Program. The debt
service for the additional loan amount will be incorporated in the ten-year forecasts
for both funds with the anticipation that a Wastewater rate increase would be
authorized later in 2019 through the Wastewater rate study.
