City of San Leandro Sewer System Management Plan Volume I • 1 emergency response trailer The majority of the City's lift stations incorporate atwo-pump design to provide for seamless operation in the event of a pump failure. All of the lift stations are part of a SCADA network with remote alarm capability. For the stations without a second pump in the station, collection system design allows the system to surcharge to a given level and then go to gravity until repairs can be made. All lift stations have a replacement pump in stock. Training The City of San Leandro provides training and resources for the development of City employees. The City also provides in-house training on specific topics and uses outside training resources such as professional organizations like California Water Environment Association (CWEA) and Bay Area Clean Water Association (BACWA) to further the education and technical skills of City staff. See documentation in Appendix C for the initial training given to each employee when hired by the City. Outreach to Plumbers and Building Contractors The City of San Leandro has developed a Plumbers' Outreach flyer that will be distributed via mail and individual contact to all the contractors and plumbers that work within the City's sphere of influence. The City is participating as part of a region-wide outreach program to meet this SSMP requirement. Section 5 ~ Design and Construction Standards Standards for Installation, Rehabilitation and Repair The City, through the Engineering Department, maintains a document that contains a set of wastewater and sewer system design standards (City Standard Specifications and Drawings or "Standard Specifications" -see Appendix E). These standard specifications are a comprehensive set of standards that cover all sewage or wastewater facilities in the City. The City's Code Ordinance requires that the standard specifications be followed in the construction of new installations, and rehabilitation and/or replacement of existing facilities. They are available to contractors and the general public at no charge and are updated periodically, as necessary. A copy is also available from the City's website. Where the City initiates and implements large scale capital improvement projects, a consultant firm (or firms) is retained to provide specialized knowledge and expertise to the project. Project planning and design services are typically provided by such firms in these cases, and project specific drawings and specifications that conform to the City standards are prepared for public bidding by licensed contractors. The construction phase of the project is then monitored for adherence to the project requirements by City Engineering Inspectors. ~~g~ Sao
