SUBJECT: CONSULTANT PRESENTATION ON VALUE ENGINEERING
WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
A joint team of Robinson, Stafford & Rude, Inc (RSRI) and NCE Value Engineers Inc. (NCE)
were engaged by the City of Saint John in January 2009 to undertake a value engineering
(VE) review of the Action Plan for Safe, Clean Drinking Water, the water treatment and
distribution system improvement program being planned by the City. This systematic,
function-based evaluation of planned upgrades sought to enhance overall performance
and help the City achieve best value for the major investments to be made. The review
was contemplated in Part 13 (Assuring Value) of the Action Plan.
All critical aspects of the overall program were subjected to analysis; water treatment
requirements, capacity and location of treatment facilities, needed pipeline upgrades,
project delivery options, risk considerations and detailed technical issues. An objective
VE process sought innovative and practical solutions that would satisfy performance
expectations and offer lower life cycle costs.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
VALUE =
RESOURCES (COSTS)
Going into the value analysis, changes were anticipated; some would improve system
functionality, others could lower costs. It is also understood that a positive proposal in
one respect might present new challenges or added costs in other areas. The City and
design consultants need now to consider the VE recommendations in finalizing
preliminary designs, and moving towards detailed design and project scheduling.
Purpose of this Report
Don Stafford (Robinson Stafford & Rude, Inc.), the value engineering team leader and
primary facilitator, will brief Common Council on the value engineering process and its
major conclusions. A copy of Mr. Stafford's slide presentation is attached.

ANALYSIS
Three multi-disciplinary teams of North American experts in their disciplines, working
with staff representatives and the City's preliminary design consultants, applied formal
value engineering methodology in three phases of review.
Workshop #1: System-Wide / Major Issues: the first team looked at the "big picture",
as well as a range of strategic questions; including capacity and location(s) of treatment
facilities, separate potable and industrial systems East, essential transmission and water
storage upgrades, and east-west interconnection.
Workshop #2: Program Delivery Strategy: the second phase focused on program
delivery; assessing alternative ownership and project delivery options, including risks
associated with the different approaches.
Workshop #3: Detailed Technical Review - Treatment and Infrastructure: the final
workshop involved an analysis of the improvement program's technical considerations.
Historical Context
Saint John has one of the oldest water systems in North America; first established to
protect public health from waterborne disease and as a water supply for fire protection.
Important parts of the transmission system in service today are very old. One large main
running through Fernhill Cemetery predates Confederation (1857); another parallel to it
went into service in 1873. Other system critical piping dates back to the 1890s and a
kilometre section of 1940s wood pipe is problematic. There is significant leakage in old
parts of the system and water demand exceeds rates typical for municipalities our size.
The City has two good water sources: Spruce Lake watershed in the West, supplemented
by the Musquash system; and Latimer Lake and the Loch Lomond watershed to the East.
Water treatment has remained fundamentally unchanged since the 1930s when chlorine
was first introduced for disinfection. With an historic focus on delivery of "quantity" (for
fire protection and heavy industry), water quality was assumed acceptable. However,
advances in science and ever more strict drinking water regulation have changed the
primary focus to public health and drinking water quality. Well established and emerging
concerns regarding unfiltered drinking water are behind the need to meet national
treatment standards for potable water in Saint,John.
Currently, water "treatment" consists only of coarse screening (to remove sticks and
eels), disinfection with either chlorine gas (East facility) or sodium hypochlorite solution
(West facility), and the addition of fluoride for reasons of dental health.
A defining feature of Saint ,John's water system, one that impacts drinking water, is the
very heavy industrial consumption that it serves.

Standards for Drinking Water Quality
Provincial regulation requires the City to meet adopted Guidelines for Canadian Drinking
Water Quality. The Guidelines, prepared by a Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee
and published by Health Canada, set out recommended microbiological, chemical and
physical, and radiological parameters for drinking water nationwide.
Four primary factors influence risk of waterborne illness: concentration of a pathogen in
water; human infectious dose of the pathogen, virulence of the pathogen and immune
status of the host, and volume of water ingested. Pathogens that can occur in surface
water include protozoa (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella) and
viruses (Norwalk, hepatitis). Potential chemical hazards include disinfection by-products,
such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAS), which form when chlorine
reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in unfiltered water.
The City of Saint John is not currently equipped to assure consumers that drinking water
is free of pathogens and other potential hazards. Modern drinking water treatment and
extensive improvements to the transmission and distribution system are required in
order that such assurances can be consistently given.
The Medical Officer of Health for our region has been steadfast about the need for
improved drinking water treatment. He points out that waterborne disease is a risk in all
surface water supplies and that disinfection with chlorine does not eliminate this risk.
The Road to Water System Improvements
A major water system needs analysis was documented in a water strategy published in
1999. The report set out the need for full treatment and extensive upgrades to the
water transmission and distribution system, including expanded water storage capacity.
Making necessary improvements, however, to a long established, "live" water system is a
complex undertaking; one that requires extensive study and exhaustive engineering
work. Recognizing this, an East water system reconfiguration study was carried out in
2001 and a West water system reconfiguration analysis in 2004 - as recommended by
the strategy. Other formal analyses that have been completed include: improvements to
the Kennebecasis Drive / Sandy Point Road water supply (2001); water treatment plant
siting (2002/2004); water distribution hydraulic model and North End improvements
evaluation (2007); Reversing Falls Bridge main replacement (2007); East water storage
tank analysis (2007); and study of the Cottage Hill Zone (2008).
R.V. Anderson Associates Limited (Touchie Engineering) was engaged in February 2007
to undertake the preliminary design of needed water treatment facilities and CBCL
Limited was engaged in June 2008 to provide the preliminary engineering design for the
transmission, distribution and storage system upgrades. Both consulting firms were key
participants in the value engineering process.

Water Treatment
In early 2008, a first draft of the preliminary design report on treatment facilities
contemplated two plants - a 50 MLD (megalitres per day) plant West at Spruce Lake and
a 130 MLD facility East at a site known as Phinney Hill on Pipeline Road East. A peer
review workshop on that draft, in June 2008, made several recommendations for moving
forward, including one to undertake a formal value engineering (VE) review.
Later, the City decided to reduce proposed plant sizes to 40 MLD (West) and 100 MLD
(East). A large industrial consumer East (Irving Oil refinery) would be serviced with a
separate industrial (raw) water supply rather than from the potable system.
The second draft of the pre-design report served as a baseline document for the VE
workshops held between March and June 2009. These sessions produced proposals for
some major changes, including one water treatment plant now, significantly reduced
design capacity, and potential new WTP site locations. The majority of the treatment
process and design principles identified in the preliminary design have been generally
confirmed technically by the City. These, coupled with accepted VE proposals, have
made the needed treatment process much more clear.
R.V. Anderson Associates have highlighted three major steps that must occur before the
City can proceed to construction of a new water treatment plant:
1 . Finalization of plant design capacity: it is critical to confirm plant capacity and
thoroughly document the calculations and estimates used.
2. Conduct necessary environmental impact assessments: given the new site and
adjacent wetlands and watercourses, the City will need to conduct an EIA for
the project and obtain a variety of other approvals; a federal contribution in
excess of $10 million will also mean a federal Canadian Environmental
Assessment (CEAA) screening.
3. Undertake a preliminary and detailed design: a preliminary design report for
the new site, utilizing the identified treatment processes and considering the
various VE reports, is required. Upon acceptance of that preliminary design,
detailed design and tender documents could be prepared.
Estimated Cost of Water Treatment Facilities
As Saint John is still a number of years away from a fully treated potable water system, it
is not possible to predict with accuracy the Capital cost of new water treatment facilities;
many variables remain to influence cost outcomes. With that understanding, an
estimated cost range for a new 1 10 MLD treatment facility has been formally developed:
between $93.7 and $131.1 million as detailed on the next page, depending on timing of
construction, special site requirements and specific plant features. A 100 MLD plant is
expected to cost some $3.5 to $4 million less.

WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PAGE 6
Water System: Transmission, Distribution and Storage
CBCL Limited is undertaking the preliminary design analysis of needed potable water
storage, transmission and distribution upgrades. Drinking water and raw water systems
are being hydraulically modelled and options to improve water quality, service and
system reliability are being identified and prioritized.
This is a wide-ranging engineering task, one with many interrelated components. The
decision to move to a single treatment plant located at a new site East of the river, for
example, presents significant hydraulic and water quality challenges for service across
the West system, particularly for customers at its extremities.
Water Storage
A preliminary storage analysis calculated required storage volumes for the water system
- based on Atlantic Canada industry guidelines.
Total storage requirements are comprised of three factors:
A. Fire Volume: 12,000 litres/minute for 2.5 hours in industrial zones; 10,000
litres/minute for 2.0 hours in commercial zones, and 4,000 litres/minute for
1.5 hours in residential zones
B. Peak Balancing Volume: 25% of maximum day demand
C. Emergency Storage: 25% of "A" + 25% of "B"
Traditionally, fire flows have been attainable in Saint John due the storage available in
the transmission system tied directly to Latimer Lake. This will change markedly with the
flow restrictions inherent to a treatment facility. Additional fire and emergency storage
volumes will need to be provided from strategically located storage reservoirs.
Available storage on the West side of the river is adequate, with two new storage tanks
constructed in recent years - one near Martello Tower, the other in Churchill Heights.
The East side, however, is about 22 ML (million litres) short. Prior to the VE process
facilities were being contemplated for four areas. Value engineering has proposed that
most of that requirement be located at the treatment plant site.
Water Transmission and Distribution
Major improvements to transmission and distribution piping will be an essential part of
the improvement program. A series of large replacement or upgrade projects have been
identified and are currently being developed in preliminary design:
ca Latimer Lake Intakes: a new intake system at Latimer Lake
ca Raw Transmission Phinney Hill to Lakewood: new raw water main from
Phinney Hill to general area of Lakewood (Infrastructure Funding)
OUR BUSINESS IS YOUR WATER / VOTRE EAU, C'EST NOTRE AFFAIRE

CONSULTANT PRESENTATION ON VALUE ENGINEERING NOVEMBER 26TH, 2009
WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PAGE 7
ca Raw Transmission Lakewood to WTP: raw water main to a junction point "A"
and two mains from there to WTP site
ca Industrial Raw Transmission Main: new industrial water transmission main
from junction "A" to the Irving Oil refinery and renovation of an existing main
ca Feed to Lakewood Pump Station: new main from WTP to Lakewood Heights PS
ca Transmission WTP to Sandbank Hill: new potable main from WTP to Sandbank
Hill and second connection to an existing transmission main
ca Transmission Sandbank Hill to One-Mile House: abandon mains through
Fernhill Cemetery; new potable main along Loch Lomond Road from Valley
Street to Bayside Drive (connect to main constructed in 2006) and a second
potable main from Sandbank Hill to and along Westmorland Road
ca Transmission Beaverbrook Avenue: potable main from PRV 107 to provide
adequate suction pressure at the Somerset Street PS (Infrastructure Funding)
ca Transmission North End and Chesley Drive: new potable main from Mount
Pleasant area to PRV 107 and a new potable main from PRV 107 to the East
side of the Reversing Falls Bridge for security of supply North and West
ca Transmission Spruce Lake to Gault Road: new potable main along Ocean
Westway and a 200 mm diameter rider main (Infrastructure Funding)
ca Transmission Dever Road: new potable main from Manchester to Main West,
with secondary feed into Milford/Randolph (Infrastructure Funding)
ca Transmission Reversing Falls Bridge: twin potable mains under Reversing Falls
Bridge to replace existing 475 mm steel pipe (Infrastructure Funding)
ca Reversing Falls Booster Pump Station: new booster pump station to ensure
adequate flows maintained to the West transmission and distribution system
ca Spruce Lake High Zone Booster Pump Station: reconstruct Gault Road PS or a
new pump station to boost flows from elevation 84m to elevation 105m
Estimated Cost of System Improvements
Completion of the preliminary design report for transmission, distribution and storage
improvements is still some weeks away and, as such, it would be premature to suggest
estimates for upgrade projects at this time.
Treatment Plant Siting
In follow-up to recommendations from VE Workshop #1, staff initiated an evaluation of
potential treatment plant sites; narrowing down 14 potential locations to four and then
to two preferred sites on City-owned land. CBCL completed a comparative assessment of
these two sites (report November 2009). Staff is prepared to make a recommendation on
the all important treatment plant siting decision.

CONSULTANT PRESENTATION ON VALUE ENGINEERING NOVEMBER 26TH, 2009
WATER TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PAGE 8
Demand Management and Water Use Efficiency
Another essential aspect of the improvement program and one tied directly to the sizing
and cost of facilities is an aggressive strategy to improve water use efficiency in Saint
,John. As earlier indicated, water consumption in our community exceeds rates typical for
municipalities our size. Demand management projects that have to be part the program
include the following:
ca Water Use Efficiency Study
ca District (Zone) Metering (Infrastructure Funding)
ca Universal (Customer) Metering, including an early cost-benefit analysis
ca Enhanced Leak Detection and Repair
ca Conservation Public Education and Rate Setting
There will be substantial costs associated with these aspects of the overall program.
FOLLOW UP
The value engineering technical reports will be used by staff and design consultants in
finalizing plans for the overall improvement program.
Council will be asked in the coming weeks to make several program-critical decisions
that will allow planning and engineering to move forward. Also, staff intends to have all
cost estimates thoroughly vetted by a professional quantity estimator.
Absolutely critical at this juncture is an adequately staffed program management team.
We cannot realistically expect to proceed without the needed people resources in place.
Six "Stimulus" projects ($23.95 million) already in motion must be completed by March
201 1 . A committed and supported program team is essential for implementation of this
initiative, one that dwarfs anything previously taken on by the City.
As Council seeks funding support for full program implementation, we must be ever
mindful of the need for timely action to address drinking water risks that exist today.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that this report be received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,

His Worship Mayor Ivan Court arc °:'u:u~:Nhi~t
And Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council,
SUBJECT: WINTER ON-STREET PARKING RESTRICTIONS
In response to a difficult 2009/10 winter season and citizen expectations for winter
snow control, the City has sought to enhance its Winter Management Plan for
Streets and Sidewalks - to better serve the public. Clear winter streets and sidewalks
are vital to quality of life, business and, most importantly, safety of pedestrians and
vehicle traffic.
A significant change for the coming season is a ban on overnight parking on most
city streets - between midnight and 7 a.m. from November 15" to April 15"Excluded from this restriction are some streets in neighbourhoods with particular
parking constraints: the Wright Street area immediately north of the Throughway,
the Old North End, the Lower West and the South Central Peninsula. A special one-
year (only) exception has also been made for Douglas Avenue.
Vehicles parked or abandoned on public streets during the winter are a serious
obstruction to snow clearance and mean added (and avoidable) costs to taxpayers.
These obstacles also add risks to the public and snow plow operators. The safety of
people and the effective movement of vehicles, including fire and other emergency
service vehicles, require an open public right-of-way.
Residents are strongly encouraged to use available off-street parking, either in their
own driveways or by making arrangements with neighbours. Off-street parking in
residential areas is not something that taxpayers generally should subsidize; it is
not a municipal responsibility.
In making these changes, the City has taken a necessary step to enhance its ability
to deal with winter conditions. We have tried to minimize personal inconvenience,
but need to put the interests of the general public first. Most municipalities in
Canada are far more restrictive when it comes to on-street parking in the winter.
Such restrictions are a necessary part of dealing with the harsh winter conditions of
our climate zone.

Report to Common Council
Winter On-Street Parking Restrictions
November 271, 2009
Page 2
Overnight parking bans are common across Canada; in fact, the great majority of
cities and towns do not permit parking on streets during the winter season. In New
Brunswick, for instance, both Fredericton and Moncton have long had such by-laws.
The effectiveness of winter service depends very much on the community working
with the City; having realistic expectations relative to the severity of the weather
and sharing in the responsibility to keep Saint John liveable over the winter months.
On its part, the City must be there to support and understand the needs of citizens.
The Winter Management Plan is under continuous review. We encourage the public
to give us their ideas and suggestions. Staff will also work with citizens, where
possible and practical, to assist them in dealing with their particular challenges over
the winter months.
For more winter service information visit saintjohn.ca/snowplan or call 658-4455.
It is recommended that this report be received and filed.
Respectfully submitted,
J.M. Paul Groody, P. Eng.
