Daisy Ave. M-85 Santa Ana CA 92703 Subject: Letter Proposal for the USBR Crosswalk Response Dear Mr. Ige: John Robinson Consulting, Inc. (JR Consulting) is pleased to offer is letter proposal to the City of Santa Ana (City) to respond to United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) comments on the Recycled Water Master Plan (RWMP) received from Engineering Solution Services. JR Consulting is a California S Corporation, is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and is located locally in Pasadena. This letter proposal outlines our scope of services to modify the RWMP with USBR comments with corresponding schedule and fee estimate. SCOPE OF SEPVJCES JR Consulting was a subconsultant to Thomas R. Holliman & Associates (TRHA) on the development of the RWMP so is familiar with the document and can complete the modifications in order to incorporate the USBR "crosswalk" comments based upon USBR Directive and Standard (D&S) Manual WTR 11-01. The purpose of this D&S is to establish requirements and a review process for feasibility studies conducted under the Bureau of Reclamation's Water Reclamation and Reuse (Title XVI) Program and Desalination Construction Program. The purpose of Reclamation's review is to determine if a water reclamation, recycling or desalination feasibility study report meets the requirements of a feasibility study as defined under section 1604 of Pub. L. 102-575, as amended. Through this review, Reclamation also meets the requirements of section 4009 of Pub. L. 114-322 to review feasibility studies. The benefits of this D&S include providing sufficient information for the formulation of feasibility studies for water reclamation, recycling and desalination projects and clearly stating Reclamation's review procedures. The City prepared the Recycled Water Master Plan which Was partially funded by the State of California Water Resources Control Board Division of Financial Assistance (SWRCB DFA) and not USBR Title XVI Program. The City is looking to modify the RWMP in order to comply with USBR requirements which would allow the City to submit for planning and infrastructure funding from USBR potential recycled water projects. City of Santa Ana Title XVI Crosswalk Missing Information The purpose of this document is to identify all outstanding questions from the documents that have been assembled for the City of Santa Ana's Water Reclamation project.
