Summary: |
The Final
Value Engineering (VE) Study for the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project
is presented as Exhibit 3-A and distributed
under separate cover. The Governance
Committee reviewed the study on August 25, 2014, and deferred making a
recommendation until additional information was available. A summary of the committee’s discussion is
attached as Exhibit
3-B. Attached as Exhibit 3-C
is a report from Separation Process, Inc. (SPI) commenting on the VE study. The
Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (MPRWA) will review the VE Study
and SPI evaluation on October 9, 2014.
Jim Cullem, Executive Director of the JPA, will advise the Governance
Committee of the the JPA’s recommendation at the October 15, 2014 meeting. |

|
Action: |
The
Governance committee should review the Final VE Study and the SPI analysis;
receive reports from California American Water and the MPRWA; take public comment
and then make a recommendation to California American Water as to
incorporation of value engineering options into final design of the
desalination facility. |
||
|
|
|
||
|
Discussion: |
The VE Study
for 30% design of the desalination facility focuses on value improvements, in
particular potential cost savings.
Requirements mandated by the settlement agreements, as well as
directions from the Governance Committee on environmental and aesthetic issues, should still be incorporated into the design. In August 2014, the MPRWA contracted with
SPI to conduct a review of the VE study.
The review is attached as Exhibit 3-C.
