2. City’s Goal for this Project
“Recognizing that Oak Harbor is connected to the pristine
waters of Puget Sound, specifically Oak Harbor and Crescent
Harbor Bay, the City’s goal is to obtain the highest level of
water quality practical while recognizing the limitations of the
rate payers of the City to fund the improvements.”

3. Goal of Tonight’s Workshop
• Provide sufficient information to support the
Project Team’s recommendation…
– Illustrate how a 6th site compares to others based
on the City’s overall project objectives
– Provide additional cost information for alternatives
at all sites being considered

5. Recommended Alternatives
September 20, 2011 City Council Meeting
1. Consider three final sites for further evaluation:
– Windjammer Park
– Old City Shops
– Crescent Harbor
2. Develop final alternatives around membrane
bioreactor (MBR) process
– Consider AS (if applicable) for short-listed sites
3. Discharge treated effluent through new outfall in Oak
Harbor
– Evaluate opportunities for beneficial reuse
Oh910i1-8594.pptx/5
6. City Council Direction
Resolution 12-05: February 7, 2012
Report back with the following information…
1. Add a 6th site (Crescent Harbor North) to the list of
candidate sites
2. Provide additional cost information to assist in the
analysis
3. Consider both MBR and AS processes
– Windjammer Park: MBR only
4. Consider Oak Harbor outfalls for all sites
– Beachview Farm: Also consider West Beach
5. Collect and incorporate additional public input
Oh910i1-8594.pptx/6
7. Tonight’s Agenda
• Public Open House
• Overall Alternative/Site Comparison
• Additional Cost Information
– Basis of Current Cost Estimates
– Key Cost Assumptions for Each Site
– Opportunities for Phasing to Reduce Cost
• Summary and Recommendation
• Questions?

9. Crescent Harbor North Site Description
• Approximately 24 acres within Urban Growth Area
(UGA)
• North of Crescent Harbor Drive
– Not on Navy Seaplane Base
• Comprised of 9 separate privately owned parcels
• Field conditions are comparable to Crescent Harbor
site (US Navy Property):
– Some wetlands evident based on aerial photos
– Similar risk of finding cultural resources

19. To address more specific questions related to
cost, we will:
• Summarize the basis of existing cost estimates
– Cost for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)
– Cost for conveying wastewater to the WWTP
– Cost for conveying treated effluent & outfall
• Explain key assumptions impacting cost for each
potential alternative/site
• Review potential phasing opportunities to reduce
cost, which may vary from site to site
Oh910i1-8594.pptx/19
21. WWTP costs are developed using a range of
information and in three basic steps:
1. Size/layout a facility to meet Oak Harbor’s
requirements
2. Develop cost estimate based on rough takeoffs,
vendor quotes, and actual designs that have been
constructed
3. Compare to similar facilities in the area to confirm
overall costs are reasonable

Collection/Conveyance Costs
• Collection/Conveyance costs include:
– Raw sewage pipes and pump stations
• Assumptions
– Peak flows from Navy do not increase over time
– City flow increases consistent with Comp. Sewer Plan
(and with WWTP analysis)
– Pipe sizes based on 2060 flows
– Pump sizes based on 2030 flows
– ROW/land acquisition as needed
– Pipe installation includes surface repair, utility relocation,
(full Right-of-Way restoration and improvements)

49. Projects are “phased-in” over time in several
ways…
• Phase-in WWTP capacity
– Design for lower flows/loads now; expand to meet
higher flows/loads in the future
• Phase-in WWTP components
– Build new liquid stream now; defer solids treatment
(i.e. continue to use existing Seaplane Base Lagoon)
• Phase-in WWTP “performance”
– Design for less restrictive permit limits now;
expand to meet more restrictive limits in the future
• Phase-in wastewater conveyance
– “Just-in-time” installation/expansion of pipes/pumps
for wastewater

Resolution 12-05: February 7, 2012
Report back with the following information…
1. A 6th site (Crescent Harbor North) compares well with
other candidate sites
2. Windjammer and Crescent Harbor North provide the
lowest combination of initial/long-term cost
3. Using an AS processes at Crescent Harbor North is
required to reduce initial and long-term cost
4. An outfall into Oak Harbor Bay provides adequate
mixing and is the lowest cost option for all sites
5. Additional public input collected tonight will be
included in the final site selection process
Oh910i1-8594.pptx/60
61. Recommended Alternatives
April 17, 2012 City Council Meeting
1. Consider two sites for further evaluation:
– Windjammer Park
– Crescent Harbor North
2. Develop final alternatives around membrane
bioreactor (MBR) process
– Consider AS at Crescent Harbor North
3. Discharge treated effluent through new outfall into
Oak Harbor Bay
– Evaluate opportunities for beneficial reuse

64. Final Thoughts
Our recommendation is based on the following
key points:
• Windjammer MBR
– Best opportunity to complete an initial phase below $70M
target while controlling long-term cost
– Highest quality water for current and future environmental
protection
– Required to justify decision to use more expensive
alternative
• Crescent Harbor North AS
– Meets all “Social” objectives for the Project
– Very close to the lowest Phase 1 / Ultimate cost
– Straight forward site acquisition and permitting
