HEARINGS CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ABANDONMENT OF THE BOLLINGER CANYON LEACH FIELD Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the Board has been kept apprised of this item over the last several years. A complete position paper and staff report including recommendations for abandonment of the Leach Field has been provided. Rather than making a detailed presentation, staff will provide a brief overview of the recommendations if there are no members of the public present with an interest in this item. At 2: 13 p.m., President Hockett opened the public hearing to receive comments on the proposed abandonment of the Bollinger Canyon Leach Field. There being no comments, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Dolan stated that based on the input received from the citizens in the Bollinger Canyon area, staff has virtually reached agreement with Mr. Saber Zell on the replacement of his leach field. At this time, staff would recommend that the Board approve the O""'~ ~ 07 95 158 abandonment of the Bollinger Canyon Leach Field which would begin 1 20 days from the date of approval. Discussion followed with regard to potential future liability, the conclusion that the Leach Field has outlived its normal useful life and accordingly the benefit intended to be provided to the properties within the Local Improvement District has been fully provided, and the suggestion that the District take steps to de-annex the area. It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Menesini, that the proposed abandonment of the Bollinger Canyon Leach Field be approved beginning 120 days after the public hearing. There being no objection, the motion was approved with Member Dalton being absent. Mr. Dolan stated that staff will investigate de-annexation of the Bollinger Canyon area and report back to the Board at a future Board Meeting. 6. CALL FOR REQUESTS TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUT OF ORDER None 7. BIDS AND AWARDS a. AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO MOUNTAIN CASCADE. INC.. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO ALLOCATE $297.000 FROM THE COLLECTION SYSTEM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT FOR THE LOMBARDY LANE SEWER REPLACEMENT PROJECT IN ORINDA. DP 5081 Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Mr. Jay S. McCoy, Infrastructure Division Manager, who provided an overview of the circumstances associated with the Lombardy Lane Sewer Replacement Project bid. Mr. McCoy distributed copies of the letter from D. R. Lemings Construction protesting award of the construction contract to Mountain Cascade, Inc., and copies of the actual bid forms submitted by D. R. Lemings Construction. Member Dalton entered the meeting at the hour of 2:30 p.m. Mr. McCoy referred to the bid forms noting the $5,000 difference between the numerical bid price and bid price written in words. Mr. McCoy stated that from reviewing the bid forms, it is apparent that the initial bid had been $221,311.00, but was then increased to $226,311.00 and submitted. The bidder forgot to change the bid price in words. There are provisions in the bid documents to deal with this issue which Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, will discuss. Mr. Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that Section 8 of the bid documents, in the General Conditions and Statementto Bidders, provides that apparent errors in addition and lump sum price will be corrected. Unless the bid is corrected for arithmetic errors as discussed above, the price written in words shall govern. For that reason, the recommended conclusion of staff effectuates the intent of the parties and provides a level playing field. Mr. Richard E. Jones, representative for D. R. Lemings Construction and estimatorfor this project, addressed the Board. Mr. Jones stated that it was not his intent to bid an additional $5,000 and the additional $5,000 was not included in his bid when it was turned in to D. R. Lemings Construction. Somehow between the time Mr. Jones had prepared his $221,311 bid and when the bid was submitted, $5,000 was added to the total; resulting in a numerical bid of $226,311, however the written words were not changed. Mr. Jones stated that the written words should prevail. If the Board cannot come to that conclusion, Mr. Jones asked that the Board throw out all of the bids and rebid the project. Mr. Mike Fuller, President of Mountain Cascade, Inc., stated that Mountain Cascade, Inc. is the low bidder and would like to do the job. Mr. Fuller stated that in his years of experience, the unit price generally prevails. If the unit prices are totaled, Mountain Cascade, Inc. is the low bidder. 09 07 95 159 With regard to throwing out the bids and rebidding the project, Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that as detailed in the position paper, it is very important to complete this work prior to the winter rains. The current time schedule would allow completion, but rebidding the project would not. Discussion followed with regard to preparation of the estimate and bid forms, and the need to provide a level playing field for all bidders. Mr. Dolan indicated that the testimony of the Lemings' representative essentially supported the conclusiòn of staff that the true intent of Lemings was to adjust the bid which had been prepared by Mr. Jones by adding $5,000. Following discussion, it was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Dalton, that award of contract in the amount of $225,918 be authorized to Mountain Cascade, Inc., as the lowest responsible bidder; and that the General Manager-Chief Engineer be authorized to allocate $297,000 from the Collection System Contingency Account for the Lombardy Lane Sewer Replacement Project, DP 5081. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. 8. REPORTS a. GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER 1 ) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations mandate rigorous controls on industrial and certain commercial customers. Over the years the Board has had to deal with a firm hand with customers who did not comply with the source control regulations. The names of significant violators must be published each year by the District. In recent years to present a balance to this harsh mandate, the District had made presentations of awards to those customers who have made special efforts to prevent pollution. This year staff is proposing to expand the program slightly by running an ad to extend the reach of the pollution prevention message. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Tim Tullis, Public Information and Production Assistant, who stated that this is the fourth year that the District has recognized local businesses that have made special efforts to keep harmful substances out of the sewer system. Staff is planning to run a one time ad to recognize these organizations among their peers and the general public. As the District becomes more active in pollution prevention education, it is important to let these businesses know that the District is taking note of the special efforts they are making. Mr. Tullis showed a copy of the advertisement planned to communicate the following messages: . The District is committed to preventing water pollution; . ADL Circuits, Inc., Classic Catering, and Tassajara Nursery have made special efforts to prevent water pollution; and . September 18-24, 1995 is Pollution Prevent Week. Mr. Tullis stated that a telephone number will be included in the ad for people to call to request additional information. Mr. Tullis distributed copies of the informational materials dealing with the District and its pollution prevention message which will be distributed upon request. The Pollution Prevention Awards will be presented at the next Board Meeting. Discussion followed with regard to criteria for selection of the Pollution Prevention Award winners, and the pollution prevention activities planned by the District for Pollution Prevention Week. 2) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Ms. Lynne Putnam, Senior Engineer, who provided an update on progress made to date on the District's Recycled Water Facilities Plan for Zone 1. Ms. Putnam stated that later this month, staff hopes to come back to the Board with the draft of the -09 07 95 160 0 ..'). :tJ Zone 1 agreement with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD). Staff is also working concurrently with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). The consultant for that work, G. S. Dodson & Associates, has performed a preliminary engineering study to identify preferred options. Discussion followed with regard to the number and range of options. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the Dodson report be distributed to the Board and that a Recycled Water Board Committee Meeting/Board Workshop be scheduled to review the options. Ms. Putnam reviewed the status of pipeline construction for Zone 1 currently in progress. The purpose of the Facilities Plan is provide recycled water to meet Title 22 standards at a reasonable cost, and to provide a reliable source of water to the Treatment Plant. The Facilities Plan looked at four alternatives. The lowest cost alternative is recommended as it provides the best water quality and reliability for Zone 1 customers. In addition, the Treatment Plant will get more flexible pumping, will receive a higher quality, better disinfected water for its use, and will have storage for greater redundancy. Ms. Putnam stated that the costs of the Facilities Plan did increase from the Capital Improvement Budget estimate, primarily for covering the clearwell and rehabilitation work around the Treatment Plant. There is a position paper later in the agenda requesting execution of the agreement for consulting design services for the Recycled Water - Treatment Plant and Distribution Facilities Project. 3) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reported that on August 28, 1995, the Lafayette and Orinda City Councils and the Danville Town Council reached decisions concerning support of the Cities and Town participating in the ongoing Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCCSWA) solid waste contracting process. The Town of Moraga had previously decided to endorse the rates and contracts. Mr. Dolan stated that he attended the Danville Town Council Meeting where the Council voted 5-0 to support the process. Many kind thoughts were expressed by the Town Council, and Mr. Dolan passed along the Board's appreciation for the leadership exhibited by Councilmembers Mike Shimansky and Dick Waldo through the rate-setting process. President Hockett and Messrs. Paul Morgen and Kenton L. Aim attended the Lafayette City Council Meeting. Mr. Aim, Counsel for the District, reported that Orinda Moraga Dispose-All official representatives, employees and their families were in attendance and expressed opposition to the CCCSWA alternative. The Lafayette City Council voted 3-0 to endorse the CCCSWA solid waste contracting process and rates. Mr. Aim noted that two City Councilmembers currently have a conflict on this issue and were not able to participate. The City delegated authority to CCCSWA and deferred the issue of whether the City of Lafayette should join CCCSWA until January 1 996 when they will have a new City Council. Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, reported that he and President Hockett attended the Orinda City Council Meeting. Backyard service is an issue in Orinda. Alternatives for providing backyard service had been developed and the Orinda City Council's endorsement was received. There will be an extra charge of $6 per month for individuals who elect to have backyard service. Mr. Morsen described the backyard service, stating that the automated truck will stop, the driver will go get the cart from the backyard, and then replace it. This extra effort will result in a loss of productivity. The extra cost of $6 per customer per month assumes that 50 percent of the customers in the Orinda area will elect backyard service. At the next rate adjustment, rates will go up or down slightly depending on how many customers actually subscribe to this service. In response to a question from Member Rainey, Mr. Morsen stated that this $6 per customer will be over and above the revenue requirement since this is an additional service not covered in the Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) proposal. This 07 95 b. 161 service will apply only to garbage and not to recyclables which are currently taken to the curb. Mr. Morsen stated that automated service is also an issue in the Orinda area. The Orinda City Council adopted resolutions authorizing CCCSWA to enter into solid waste collection agreements for service and requesting membership in the CCCSW A, but asked that their staff work with CCCSW A and District staff to try to develop a reasonable alternative to automated service for the City of Orinda. Mr. Morsen stated that this matter will be brought back to the CCCSWA Board on September 14, 1995. Staff will try to meet with the parties prior to September 14, to develop a recommendation for presentation at that time. If the CCCSWA Board approves the recommendation, an addendum to the BFI and Valley Waste Management (VWM) contracts will be prepared. Mr. Aim reported that a few days before these City and Town Council meetings, Orinda Moraga Dispose-All put out a proposal to meet or beat the CCCSWA proposal. That has been an issue at the City and Town Council meetings. Member Rainey expressed concern that the rates will not go down significantly if an additional $6 charge is added for backyard service. Member Rainey stressed that it is important that the citizens be made aware that this additional $6 is the decision of their City Council. Discussion followed relative to the need for adequate public information to inform the public of the new backyard service and the $6 additional charge for that elective service. Mr. Morsen stated that a strong public information component will be part of the implementation of the new contracts. 4) Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the set of rates produced as a result of the solid waste rate-setting process led by the Board was included in the Board packet. Staff would recommend that the Board endorse those rates with the addition of two footnotes, one relating to the added premium of $6 for elective backyard service for the Lamorinda area and one noting that the City of Orinda rates may be further changed based on input from Orinda City officials. It was the consensus of the Board that the recommendation to the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority relative to new solid waste rates for Cities and Towns represented by the District to be effective March 1, 1996 be endorsed with the addition of two footnotes, one relating to the added premium of $6 for elective backyard service for the Lamorinda area and one noting that the City of Orinda rates may be further changed based on input from Orinda City officials. 5) Relative to the Board's request for information on the hiring plans of the solid waste companies with regard to hiring displaced employees, Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, reported that Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) has stated it intends to hire 35 to 37 employees to drive trucks and six additional office persons. At this time Valley Waste Management (VWM) was not willing to have any numbers published as to how many workers will be laid off. VWM will be adding two cities for recycling and green waste services and deleting three cities for garbage collection. More specific information should be available in the near future. BFI has negotiated an agreement with the Teamsters to hire the 35 to 37 employees from VWM and/or Orinda-Moraga Dispose-All by seniority. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT 1 ) Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that there has been a request for California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) members to join as amicus curiae for review of the Northwest Environmental Advocates v. City of Portland case. The support does not require any 09 07 95 162 c. d. On.. I;), . ¥' ';,1 financial support by the District. Mr. Aim stated that the case comes under the Clean Water Act. Prior to this case, the assumption under the Clean Water Act was that if a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) was issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and met the provisions of that permit, the POTW would not be subject to a violation of the Clean Water Act. The worst case reading of this case is that the POTW could be held in violation, by a citizen's suit, even if it met all of the provisions of its permit, if the water body into which it discharged did not meet the statewide water standards for that water body. Mr. Aim stated that the CASA Attorneys Group and the League of California Cities Attorneys Group believe this is an erroneous ruling, and they are asking for support for reconsideration of the appellate opinion. Member Rainey stated that the CAS A Executive Board endorsed this and indicated it would be helpful if the individual agencies also joined in support. Member Menesini expressed concern that POTWs continue to reach out and take additional effluent. At some point the total daily limit will be exceeded and every body of water will be polluted. Mr. Dolan stated that there are two approaches to this problem. One approach is that only the permitted dischargers would be forced to attempt to take care of the problem; the other approach is the watershed approach which prioritizes control efforts, and spreads the responsibility to all sources of pollution. While the watershed approach is more complicated to implement, in the long run it will be more effective and less costly to the public. The court decision in question supports the first approach. Staff would recommend that the District join as amicus curiae. Member Menesini agreed but requested a presentation on this subject at a future Board Meeting. It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Dalton, that the request for authorization to join as amicus curiae in the Northwest Environmental Advocates v. City of Portland matter be approved. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT None BOARD MEMBERS 1 ) 2) Solid waste update was presented earlier in the agenda. Member Rainey reported that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) met on September 6, 1995, but considered nothing specific to special districts. The main topic of discussion related to the Sphere of Influence change for the Pleasant Hill BART area. 3) Member Boneysteele reported that the Sanitation and Water Agencies of Contra Costa County met on August 24, 1995. Member Menesini, Plant Operations Division Manager James Kelly, and Chemist II Mary Lou Esparza presented a very informative program on water quality test kits to be used by schools. Mr. Gary Darling, of Contra Costa Water District, provided an update on the Los Vaqueros Project, describing the current status of construction and difficulties encountered with the Vasco Road relocation. 07 95 163 9. ENGINEERING a. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH MONTGOMERY WATSON FOR CONSULTING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE RECYCLED WATER - TREATMENT PLANT AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES PROJECT <DP 7162) It was moved by Member Rainey and seconded by Member Dalton, that the General Manager-Chief Engineer be authorized to execute a professional services agreement with a cost ceiling not to exceed the amount of $202,000 with Montgomery Watson for the design services for the Recycled Water - Treatment Plant and Distribution Facilities Project, DP 7162. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved.
