5. BIDS AND AWARDS
a.
AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO TGH PIPELINES. INC.
FOR THE ROSSMOOR SEWER IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. PHASE 6. DP 5423
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that in 1994 the District Board approved a Sewer
Transfer Agreement with the property management of Rossmoor to bring the sewer
system into a condition acceptable to the District. This work to improve the Rossmoor
sewer system was to be done over time, in ten phases and paid for by fees from
Rossmoor residents. Mr. Batts introduced Mr. Curt Swanson, Environmental Services
Division Manager, who reviewed the Rossmoor sewer transfer chronology beginning in
1 965 with the beginning of construction of the Rossmoor community private sewer
system. In the early 1990's Rossmoor residents approached the District about taking over
the private sewer system. In 1993 the District conducted an evaluation of the sewer
system to determine deficiencies. For the most part the sewer system was in fairly good
shape, but it was determined that 407 manholes and 177 rodding inlets were required or
needed improvement. The estimated cost for this work was $3,500,000 and it was
decided to proceed with the work in ten phases over a ten-year period. The Sewer
Transfer Agreement was approved in 1994-1995, construction on Phase 1 began in 1995,
and the first phase sewers were accepted and transferred to the District in 1996. Mr.
Swanson stated that this is an iterative process and it is anticipated that the last transfer
of Rossmoor sewers will' be completed in 2005. Mr. Swanson explained the sewer
acceptance sequence as follows:
1.
Install manholes and other improvements
2.
TV inspection of sewers
3a.
or
3b.
If sewers are satisfactory, accept them
If sewers are not satisfactory, include them in next phase of improvements
4.
Process easements for accepted lines
5.
CCCSD becomes responsible for maintenance of accepted lines
6.
Design next phase of improvements
7.
Return to Step 1
j
To date five phases, including work on 293 manholes and 40 rodding inlets, have been
completed at a cost of $2,178,286. Mr. Swanson stated that 20 percent of Rossmoor
residents' Sewer Service Charge fees are allocated to the construction project. In
addition, 20 percent of new connection fees in the Rossmoor community are allocated to
the construction fund account. To day $2,168,987 in revenues have been allocated and
$2,178,286 has been expended through Phase 5. There is a deficit of $9,299. The
revenue allocation for the current year has not yet been made and some additional
connection fees are also expected. This will bring the account back into the black in the
near future. .

Discussion followed with regard to the original construction of the sewer system, payment
of connection fees at the time the sewer system was constructed, payment of Sewer
Service Charges by Rossmoor residents through the years, and upgrading of the system
and acceptance by the District.
Member Menesini suggested that staff continue to work with the Rossmoor News so that
residents are aware of the efforts being made to upgrade and maintain the community
sewer system.
Member Boneysteele briefly recapped the formation, financing, and construction of the
Rossmoor sewer system, noting that Rossmoor was able to negotiate a very favorable
contract with the District. As time when on, the District Sewer Service Charge was
instituted and put on the tax roll, and the District imposed the Sewer Service Charge
unilaterally on Rossmoor residents at the same time it was instituted for all other District
residents. Rossmoor residents paid the Sewer Service Charge without protest but for
. many years no maintenance was done on the Rossmoor sewer system. All of that was
taken into account during the negotiation of the Sewer Transfer Agreement.
It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Nejedly, that award of a
.construction contract in the amount of $ 1 09,150 for the construction of the Rossmoor
Sewer Improvements Project, Phase 6, DP 5423, be authorized to TGH Pipelines, Inc., the
lowest responsible bidder. There being no objection, the motion was approved with
President Lucey being absent.
b.
AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO GOLDEN PACIFIC
CONSTRUCTION. INC. FOR THE ST. MARY'S ROAD LANDSLIDE REPAIR
PROJECT. DP 5450
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that this work was discussed as part of a recent
presentation to the Board on storm damage repairs that need to be completed before the
next wet weather season.
It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Nejedly, that award of a
construction contract in the amount of $ 129,000 for construction of the St. Mary's Road
Landslide Repair Project, DP 5450, be authorized to Golden Pacific Construction, Inc., the
lowest responsible bidder. There being no objection, the motion was approved with
President Lucey being absent.
c.
AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO PACIFIC
MECHANICAL CORPORATION FOR THE STEAM SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT. DP 6144. AND AUTHORIZE AN AGREEMENT WITH WRMS
ENGINEERING FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that at a recent Board Meeting a presentation was
made on this project to upgrade and replace key elements in the Treatment Plant steam
system. Staff recommends that the Board authorize award of a construction contract to
the low bidder Pacific Mechanical Corporation and approve the contract with WRMS
Engineering.
It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Menesini, that award of a
construction contract in the amount of $817,000 for the construction of the Steam
System Improvements Project, DP 6144, be authorized to Pacific Mechanical Corporation,
the lowest responsible bidder; and that an agreement in the amount of $100,000 be
authorized with WRMS Engineering for construction management services. There being
no objection, the motion was approved with President Lucey being absent.
d.
AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO PACIFIC
MECHANICAL CORPORATION FOR THE MIXED LIQUOR AERATION AIR PIPING
REPLACEMENT PROJECT DP 71 83A
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that this project will replace over 1,000 feet of
aeration air piping in the mixed liquor channels that convey biological solids from the
08

152 I
aeration tanks to the final clarifiers. The air piping supplies air necessary to prevent odors
and maintain solids in suspension.
Following discussion of the timing of this project with the steam system improvements
award to Pacific Mechanical Corporation and demolition of existing piping, it was moved
by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Boneysteele, that award ofa construction
contract in the amount of $204,500 for the replacement of the Mixed Liquor Aeration Air
Piping Replacement Project, DP 71 83A, be authorized to Pacific Mechanical Corporation,
the lowest responsible bidder. There being no objection, the motion was approved with
President Lucey being absent.

6. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER
1 )
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that in recent years there have been
several projects where construction activities have impacted communities
and neighborhoods requiring ~xtensive coordination and public outreach with
the cities and the residents. One such project, the Lafayette Sewer
Renovation Project, is currently underway. Mr. Batts introduced Mr. Alex
Rozul, Associate Engineer, who stated that this work was originally part of
a larger project scheduled for bid in April 2001. The City of Lafayette
approached the District before doing some street repaving work and the
District expedited part of the project to coordinate with the City's work in
the same area. The Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project, Phase 1, DP
5465, was awarded to McNamara & Smallman Construction, Inc. in April
2000. The contract cost was $642,944 and included installation of
approximately one mile of 8-inch main line with associated manholes and
lateral connections. The construction period was 120 calendar days.
Notice to Proceed was issued on May 15, 2000 and the contract completion
date is September 12, 2000. Mr. Rozul reported that the project is 95
percent complete. One contract change order has been issued in the
amount of $6,000. Mr. Rozul showed the locati~n of the three project
areas primarily in residential areas with narrow, winding roads and various
heavy traffic areas. Signs were posted in advance advising of the planned
construction. An inspector was on site all of the time. It had been agreed
that delays would were not to exceed 30 minutes in the construction area.
Mr. Rozul reported that no delays were longer than 15 minutes so the
residents were pleased with access. Mr. Rozul showed slides of the
construction, noting the very limited construction area available. Mr. Rozul
stated that for the last 900 feet, pipe bursting technology was used so there
was not as much impact on the road or a mature tree in the area. This
portion of the work was completed in four days instead of the allotted nine
days and cost about $20,000 less.
Ms. Jackie Zayac, Management Analyst, described the public outreach side
of the Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project, Phase 1. The District received
12 inquires on this project. Four were complaints, seven requested general
information, and one was a compliment. Ms. Zayac reported that one family
moved during this construction period and arrangements were made to
accommodate the moving van and other activities associated with the
move. Ms. Zayac reviewed the construction notification procedure. A letter
was sent to all residents at the start of construction. Signs with the District
name and the contact telephone number were posted. A separate letter
was sent regarding the multiple work sites. Finally, flyers were.distributed
to residents providing 48-hour notice prior to construction in their areas.
Ms. Zayac reviewed the complaint/question process, noting that all contacts
are recorded in the public contact report if there is something that cannot
be immediately handled in the field. When a complaint is received, it is
investigated and taken care of or referred to the appropriate party
(contractor, arborist, geotechnical engineer) for action. Contact is made

with the resident to ensure that the fix is satisfactory and the public contact
report is finalized. .
Member Menesini commended staff for the good outreach efforts now being
done and suggested that a follow up letter be sent to the community after
the project is completed. Mr. Batts thanked Member Menesini for the
suggestion and indicated staff would follow up on it.
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that the District is advertising for
bids the next phase of the Treatment Plant Pipe Renovation Project, DP
71 83B. This project involves repair or replacement of five different piping
systems: the return activated sludge piping, part of the compressed air
piping, the grit piping including pump replacement, grease piping (scum), and
replacement of recycled water flow meters. The engineer's estimate for the
work is approximately $900,000.
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that Household Hazardous Waste
Collection mobile events have been scheduled on September 23, 2000 in
Lafayette, and on October 21, 2000 in San Ramon.
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that at the June 1, 2000 Board Meeting,
advertising for prequalification of microtunneling contractors for the Pleasant
Hill Relief Interceptor Project, Phase 4, was announced. In conjunction with
that, the same microtunnelers will also be prequalifying for the Dougherty
Tunnel and Trunk Sewer Project if they were not part of the earlier
prequalification done at the projected start of the project.
Mr. Batts, General Manager, announced that the proposed landfill gas
contract will be presented to the Board for consideration in September
2000.

7. ENGINEERING
a.
AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMÈNT WITH THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTRY CLUB FOR RETROFITTING THEIR IRRIGATION
SYSTEM TO ALLOW MAXIMUM USE OF RECYCLED WATER
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that there have been a series of discussions with
Contra Costa Country Club on contract language in the recycled water contract approved
by the District Board in October 1999. While District Counsel and staff believe the basis
for the agreement has been reached, there is no final document. Authorization is
requested to allow the District's negotiators to work out the final language with the
Country Club in accordance with the agreed upon elements listed in the position paper,
and .to have the contract signed. District Counsel is available to answer any questions of
the Board.
Mr. Kenton lo Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that this has been a difficult process
because the Country Club representatives have been a rotating committee. Mr. Aim
stated that there are a number of provisions in the agreement that indicate that the
Country Club is required to take a certain amount of recycled water each year, but there
are provisions that relieve the Country Club of those requirements if certain things were
to happen like a particularly wet year when they just do not need the water, if the water
is just not acceptable because of salt content for instance, or if new irrigation technology
becomes available that would allow cut back on the amount of water used. The Country
Club wants the ability to average water usage over several years if something of this
exceptional nature were to occur that has not been specifically articulated. Mr. Aim
stated tha~ he and District staff think that is acceptable and within the confines of what
has been discussed, and would recommend approval.
Member Nejedly stated that it is amazing that the Country Club would think that the
District would not reasonably consider something of that sort. The District is just trying
to provide recycled water. It is the environmentally correct thing to do and it will not hurt
the golf course.
Mr. Curt Swanson, Environmental Services Division Manager, stated that hopefully we are
nearing the end of this process. The Country Club is currently using about 290 acre feet
a year of District recycled water. It is cheaper and better than their alternative water
source. They are using our water and they want to continue using it.
It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Menesini, that the General
Manager be authorized to execute an agreement with Contra. Costa Country Club a~ a cost
of $200,000 for retrofitting their irrigation system to provide for maximum use of recycled
water; and that staff be authorized to utilize the modified terms provided for a minimum
of 150 acre feet per year with a mandatory 20-year term. There being no objection, the
motion was approved with President Lucey being absent.
Mr. Batts stated that he would report back to the Board on the successful conclusion of
the negotiations.

. a.
ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF TWO GAS
CHROMATOGRAPH/MASS SPECTROMETERS. AND AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES
Mr. Batts, General Manager, stated that this request is to sole source the purchase of two
Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometers (GC/MS) units. This purchase was included in
the Laboratory Improvement Project budget. The early purchase of these units is
necessitated by the present condition and lack of support for the existing GC/MS units.
Mr. Batts introduced Mr. Doug Craig, Plant Operations Division Manager, who stated that
the District purchased two Fison GC/MS units in 1994. Fison is no longer in business and
has not been since 1996. Because there has bèen a lack of maintenance support and one
of the District GC/MS units is inoperable, parts from the inoperable unit are being used to
keep the remaining unit operable. In addition, the Fison units do not meet the Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) detection levels which will be included in the
District's new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Agilent
(Hewlett Packard) provides the most sensitive (l9west detection level) bench top GC/MS
units available. The Agilent GC/MS meets. RWQCB proposed detection limits for PCB
analysis and the proposed lower detection limits for other constituents. The Agilent
Technologies GC/MS detection level is ten times lower than other bench scale units. Mr.
Craig stated that the District may still be required to do some outsourcing on research-
grade instruments even if the Agilent GC/MS is purchased. Agilent manufacturer and
maintenance service are located in the Bay Area. Other major publicly owned treatment.
works (POTW's) in the Bay Area have Agilent GC/MS units so user groups would be
available for exchange of information. Mr. Craig stated that the negotiated purchase price
is $ 1 72,558 for the two units. This price includes a $50,788 discount for both Agilent
units and is competitive compared to units purchased by other local agencies. Mr. Craig
recommended that the Board adopt a resolution authorizing the sole source purchase of
two Agilent GC/MS systems for a negotiated price of $172,588.
Following discussion of the viability of Agilent given the recent newspaper article on
employee layoffs, it was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Nejedly,
that Resolution No. 2000-125 be adopted, approving the sole source purchase of two
GC/MS systems from Agilent Technologies at a negotiated price of $ 1 72,558. Motion
