INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The City desires to hire a consulting firm to enter into an Agreement for Consulting Services <br />related to the planning, design, and environmental review for its Project at the San Leandro <br />Wastewater Pollution Control Plant (WPCP). <br /> <br />II. BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The City owns and operates a wastewater treatment facility located at 3000 Davis Street, San <br />Leandro, CA. At the western edge of the WPCP is a 4.3-acre basin, historically utilized for wet <br />weather storage. In recent years, the City contemplated filling the basin for various unpursued <br />uses—generating valuable site-specific information in the process. The WPCP was originally <br />constructed in 1938, and several expansions and modifications have occurred since then. The <br />WPCP is designed to treat 7.6 MGD (average dry weather flow) from residential and commercial <br />properties and discharges the effluent into the San Francisco Bay via the East Bay Discharge <br />Authority (EBDA) discharge facility. <br /> <br />In 2018, the City considered the conversion of the pond to a multi-benefit wastewater treatment <br />and shoreline resiliency project and pursued Measure AA funding to facilitate planning, design, <br />and environmental review. In its first funding round, the San Francisco Bay Restoration <br />Authority (SFBRA) awarded the City a Measure AA grant to plan and design a water quality <br />improvement, shoreline restoration, and resiliency project. This includes conversion of the <br />wastewater storage basin into a multi-benefit treatment wetland to improve operational capacity <br />of the WPCP, anticipate future nutrient regulations, enhance habitat quality, and adapt to rising <br />seas. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />189
