Utility Infrastructure Replacement / Seismic Strengthening Project
BENEFITS
The benefits of this project include:
•
Improved water system reliability
•
Reduced tank maintenance
•
Designed to modern seismic standards
•
Improved system monitoring and operations capabilities
•
New more robust transmission main to campus
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to replace the two aging unrestrained redwood water tanks with two new steel water

WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL SYSTEM
UtHity Infrastructure Replacement I Seismic Strengthening Project
BENEFITS
The benefits of this project include:
•
Reduced permitting requirements and permit compliance costs
•
Reduced operations and maintenance costs
•
Greater robustness and ability to handle flow and load variations
•
Reduced system complexity and less mechanical equipment
Reduced electricity consumption
•
Designed to modern seismic standards
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to replace the existing wastewater treatment plant and method of effluent disposal. The
existing complex mechanical treatment plant currently discharges treated effluent to a creek that drains to
Humboldt Bay and is subject to stringent regulatory requirements. The proposed new treatment plant will

•
•
•
Improved water system reliability through development of a robust pipe network with additional
transmission mains and isolation valves
Improved natural gas system reliability through replacement of aging campus distribution lines
Improved conduit routing for telecommunications upgrades providing flexibility and capacity for current and
future improvements
New main electrical switchgear building providing greater reliability and capacity
Reduced maintenance costs associated with repairs for water and sewer systems
Reduced stormwater inflow and infiltration to sewer system
Reduced flooding during storm events at campus entrances
Improved reliability & maintainability of campus power distribution system
Components designed to modern seismic standards and considering known geologic hazards
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to replace and/or improve selected “wet” and “dry” utilities throughout campus. The
“wet” utility replacement plan includes portions of the aging water distribution system, sanitary sewer system,
and the natural gas distribution system. In addition, minor stormwater drainage improvements will be made at
key locations of campus. The proposed “dry” utility plan includes replacement of the 1 2-ky electrical
switchgear, various substation transformers and legacy cabling throughout the campus. The replacements will
consider known geologic hazards to reduce system vulnerabilities.

IT SERVER ROOM
Utility Infrastructure Replacement I Seismic Strengthening Project
BENEFITS
The benefits of this project include:
•
Generator backup power for the campus main server room
•
Addition of power panel in the campus main server room to facilitate additional server and telecom rack
equipment.
•
Reduced chance of accidental sprinkler system discharge in the campus main server room
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project proposes to install a standby generator system to provide backup power to the campus main
server room located in the Learning Resource Center (LRC). In addition, the existing fire sprinkler system in
the main server room will be retrofitted with a pre-action fire suppression system to reduce the chance of an
accidental sprinkler discharge which would damage IT equipment.

CAMPUS FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Utility Infrastructure Replacement I Seismic Strengthening Project
BENEFITS
The benefits of this project include:
•
Replaces obsolete fire alarm equipment with a new Code compliant system.
•
Improved audible\visual alarm signaling capabilities including ADA mandated visual notification coverage
for hearing impaired.
•
Allows for comprehensive central monitoring and control of fire alarm system detection and alarm devices
throughout the campus. The central monitoring station (command post) can be relocated anywhere on the
fire alarm network as desired.
•
Allows consolidation of multiple accounts to the outside monitoring service company, thereby reducing
annual costs.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide new networked Fire Alarm Control Panels and initiation and annunciation devices throughout at AJ,
AT, DH & MH Dorms, PE & FH, MN & WH, and SU Buildings. Extend and complete the central fire alarm
system network throughout the campus using the existing underground conduit system where possible and
augment with new underground conduit where necessary.
