Camanche and Pardee Recrea�on Wastewater Value Engineering and Rate Study

I. STATEMENT OF WORK

A. SCOPE

It is the intent of these speciﬁca�ons, terms, and condi�ons to describe a facility usage

and cost of service study for East Bay Municipal U�lity District’s (EBMUD) Camanche and

Pardee Recrea�on Areas wastewater u�li�es and infrastructure to inform rate needs

and capital expenditures for site improvements and upgrade of aging infrastructure

(e.g., failing sewer pipes, li� sta�ons, etc.).

EBMUD intends to award a 1-year contract (with 1 op�on to renew for an addi�onal

one-year term) to the Proposer(s) who best meets the District’s requirements.

B. PROPOSER QUALIFICATIONS

1. Proposer Minimum Qualifications

a. Proposer, Proposer’s principal, or Proposer’s staﬀ shall have been

regularly engaged in the business of providing u�lity rate studies and value

engineering services for at least 3 years.

b. Proposer shall possess all permits, licenses, and professional creden�als

necessary to perform services as speciﬁed under this RFP.

C. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

EBMUD owns and operates Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs, which serve a variety of

uses including water supply, ﬂood control, hydroelectric power genera�on, wildlife

habitat, and public recrea�on areas (Figure 1). Camanche Reservoir includes two

recrea�on areas: Camanche North Shore (CANS) in Amador County and Camanche

South Shore (CASS) in Calaveras County. Camanche Reservoir recrea�on facili�es

include day use areas, cotage rentals, campsites, boat launches, marina store and café,

with RV sites at CASS only. The Pardee Recrea�on Area is situated on the northwestern

end of Pardee Reservoir in Amador County and provides facili�es for camping, boa�ng

and ﬁshing ac�vi�es. The facility is occupied seasonally for nine months of the year and

includes a café, swimming pools, boat launch and fueling facili�es, campground, day use

areas, and RV sites.

EBMUD, through its concessionaire, operates three mobile home parks, with

approximately 130 mobile home sites at CANS and 70 sites at CASS. Most of these

mobile homes are permanent residences.

EBMUD owns and operates the CASS, CANS, and Pardee Reservoir Recrea�on area

(PARA) wastewater collec�on systems and treatment plants (WWTP).

EBMUD seeks the services of a qualiﬁed consultant to perform a value engineering

analysis of proposed upgrades to the wastewater treatment systems at Camanche and

Pardee recrea�on areas in conjunc�on with iden�fying possible modiﬁca�ons to the

recrea�on areas or proposed upgrades that consolidate or streamline facili�es for

improved eﬃciency and cost eﬀec�veness. The consultant shall review exis�ng

wastewater treatment system condi�on assessments and update condi�on assessments

as necessary for the value engineering and subsequent tasks.

The consultant will also complete a study to evaluate the wastewater u�lity level of

service provided at EBMUD upcountry recrea�on areas and mobile home parks. The

study will analyze the fee structure, rates and revenue at Pardee and Camanche

Reservoir north and south shore recrea�on areas and mobile home parks and compare

fees and services with comparable facili�es in the Western United States. The study will

quan�fy and compare the wastewater infrastructure and O&M costs associated with the

diﬀerent recrea�onal facili�es (e.g., campgrounds, overnight and seasonal RVs) and the

mobile homes. The study will iden�fy opportuni�es to modify fees and fee structure to

enable equitable contribu�ons by users of the Camanche and Pardee wastewater

system, and funding contribu�ons for ongoing facility maintenance and upgrades that

meet regulatory requirements.

FERC Lower Mokelumne River Project Background

EBMUD’s Camanche project came under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

jurisdic�on in 1981 due to the construc�on and opera�on of the Camanche Powerhouse

and related facili�es. EBMUD’s FERC license (Lower Mokelumne River Project, FERC No.

2916) includes requirements related to recrea�on, based in part on the applica�on

which incorporated the 1962 and 1973 Master Plans and thus obligated EBMUD to

develop or con�nue recrea�on ac�vi�es in accordance with those documents. FERC

imposes restric�ons on EBMUD’s ability to phase out ac�vi�es and facili�es and EBMUD

must obtain approval from FERC before making substan�al modiﬁca�ons to exis�ng

facili�es. Addi�onal informa�on on speciﬁc FERC requirements including current master

plans will be provided to the consultant upon ini�a�on of work.

The South Camanche Shore and North Shore Recrea�on Areas were developed in the

mid-1960s upon comple�on of the Camanche Dam and Reservoir in 1964. Ini�al

recrea�on area improvements and management were provided by private corpora�ons

under separate long-term lease agreements. In 1987 EBMUD assumed administra�ve

responsibili�es for Camanche recrea�on areas a�er maintenance problems that were

iden�ﬁed could not be resolved by the private concessionaires. EBMUD then started a

program of recrea�on facility improvements required by FERC. EBMUD updated the

plans for these three recrea�on areas in 1989 and ﬁled the update with the FERC on

April 12, 1990. FERC instructed EBMUD to either eliminate the mobile home parks from

the recrea�on areas or remove them from the FERC project boundary. EBMUD removed

the mobile home parks from the FERC project boundary and they are not part of

EBMUD’s FERC license.

EBMUD ﬁled its plan to monitor recrea�on use and demand on January 10, 1994, in

response to an addi�onal informa�on request from the FERC in the Order On Proposed

Revised Recreation Plan and Complaint, issued on July 9, 1993. EBMUD’s monitoring

plan was approved by FERC in the Order Approving Plan to Monitor Recreation Use and

Demand with Modiﬁcation, issued on December 15, 1994.

That order required EBMUD to ﬁle a report summarizing recrea�onal use and demand

at each recrea�on area every three years. A�er EBMUD ﬁled two summary reports in

March 1995 and April 1998, FERC amended their order on May 13, 1998 to require

report ﬁling every six years, and to provide dra� reports to three resource agencies for

comment. EBMUD ﬁled a third summary report in April 2003, a fourth in May 2009 with

a supplemental in September 2009, a ﬁ�h report in March 2015, and a sixth report in

May 2021. To date, FERC-mandated survey results have indicated that recrea�on

facili�es at the Pardee, Camanche South Shore, and Camanche North Shore Recrea�on

Areas are suﬃcient to meet recrea�onal demand for the Lower Mokelumne River

Project.
