KKCS
is providing engineer's estimates for the entire group of digester facilities,
including digester batteries, D1, D2, E, and surge tanks alternates 1 and 2.
Alternate 1 consists of prestressed
concrete digester vessels and Alternate 2 consists of steel digester vessels. The digester expansion also includes the sludge pumping
station, substation, tunnels, and site work.
The project consists of phases I and II, each approximately $200 million.
The estimate, based on 95% design documents, is broken down by phase, by
facility; by unit cost, and by CSI codes. A Commodity Sort Report and a detailed
analysis of the indirect costs was also included.

KKCS
prepared the conceptual and detailed cost estimates for phases I and II of the
Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) facility for the Hyperion Full Secondary Project
including chemical feed and storage and pumping stations.
The WAS component consists of a waste water collection system, process
piping, pumping stations, and associated control building facilities.
Our scope of work included cost estimating services for the entire
project in civil, structural, architectural, electrical, and mechanical
disciplines. The estimate was based
on unit costs and was broken down by CSI specification sections and by various
facilities, systems, and subsystems.

KKCS
provided preliminary and engineers' estimates for 45,300 feet of tunnel and ancillary facilities such as access
structures, construction shafts, syphons, shooflies, transition structures, and
diversions. This tunnel, part of an
overall reconstruction project to improve the Los Angeles sewage collection
services, runs from San Fernando Valley to the Hyperion Sewage Treatment
Plant/Outfall. The low bid for this
project was $117 million.

KKCS provided cost estimating services (Independent
Opinion of Probable Cost) for a new, 133-mgd sewage treatment plant, including
an administration building and facilities for raw sewage pumping, screening,
grit removal, and clarification. The
scope of work included civil, structural, architectural, electrical,
instrumentation and control systems, HVAC, and plumbing systems. The process included instrumentation, oxygen production,
chlorine generation, and other related facilities work.
The cost estimate was based on 30% design documents.
The cost estimate was broken down by 30 odd facilities and by CSI
specification sections. Also
included was a Commodity Sort Report and a complete analysis of indirect costs
such as contractor overhead, contingency, and escalation.
The estimate was further broken down by labor, material, construction
equipment, etc.
Kal
Krishnan, a Certified Value Specialist, served on the Value Engineering Team
with Lewis & Zimmerman Associates, Inc. of Seattle, WA, who were retained
by Seattle Metro to conduct various value engineering studies, including
constructibility, and criteria reviews on the West Point Sewage Treatment Plant.
The VE Team was engaged in a systematic review of each of the major
components of the project to identify areas of potential savings.
The final VE Report recommendations envisaged a 15% savings from the
original budget.

Title I and Title II design services were provided for
the High Level Waste Tank Farm Replacement project at the Idaho National
Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The
current storage facilities were evaluated for Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) and INEL Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) requirements.
Five tanks were selected for replacement.
The new tank farm consisted of four 500,000 gallon waste storage tanks, a
stainless steel-lined concrete vault for secondary containment, and an above
grade enclosure over the top of the new vaults.
The vault design allowed for future expansion of four additional tanks.
Because of the radioactivity and corrosive nature of the waste, all
operations and maintenance were remotely serviced.
Other systems and facilities design work included vessel off-gas system,
vault ventilation system, waste transfer system, electrical and utility
buildings, safety class systems and components as identified by the Preliminary
Safety Analysis Report (PSAR).

The La Verne Area Master Plan incorporates the Frank E.
Weymouth Filtration Plant and associated on-site facilities, Water Quality
Laboratory, 50,000 sq. ft. of leased office space in the City of San Dimas, real
property located near Arrow Highway in the City of La Verne, and the potential
use of non-metropolitan owned properties located in the area of these sites.
The project consisted of, but was not limited to; programming and space
planning services to establish future site requirements; establish architectural
guidelines for future development sensitive to the existing architectural themes
on Metropolitan sites; perform preliminary engineering services, some of which
included, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, traffic, etc.; evaluate and
identify utility and infrastructure improvements; review operational water
treatment process plans; and evaluate and identify access, parking, traffic and
internal circulation patterns within the site.
KKCS provided cost estimating and scheduling services.
Cost estimates were provided for each Master Plan option which outlined
costs of proposed improvements. Estimates
were structured per a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) designed to provide a
uniform means to identify and manage components of the work.
KKCS also utilized a critical path methodology in developing a
comprehensive implementation schedule for each master plan option. Through thorough analysis and input from the entire CHCG
Team, activity durations were determined along with critical interfaces
necessary for timely completion.
