WINNACKER.'MCNEIL ARCHITECTS (MWM) TO ADD SERVICES DURING CONSTRUCTION. AND AMEND AN AGREEMENT WITH NPG ENGINEERING FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES In the necessary absence of General Manager-Chief Engineer Roger J. Dolan, Mr. Paul Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that the Primary Building structures, which are no longer used in the process, will be remodeled to provided centralized space for the Treatment Plant's Maintenance Division. Mr. Morsen introduced Mr. Charles W. Batts, Plant Operations Department Manager, who showed a layout and described the proposed remodel project which will allow for better coordination and improved efficiency for the Treatment Plant's Maintenance Division. Discussion followed with regard to seismic retrofitting of the building, pre-bid expenditures, and the process for selecting and monitoring engineering consultants on this and other projects. President Menesini requested that a report on the process for selecting and monitoring engineering consultants be placed on a future Board Agenda. It was moved by Member Boneysteele and seconded by Member Lucey, that award of the Primary Operations Building Remodel Project, DP 6095, be authorized to N.E. Carlson, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $1,900,585, and that amendments be authorized to the agreements with MacKinley, Winnacker, McNeil Architects to add services during construction with a cost ceiling of $60,000, and NPG Engineering for construction management services with a cost ceiling of $55,000. There being no objections, the motion was unanimously approved. 6. REPORTS a. GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER 1 ) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that work is progressing on the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility. If the Board wishes, a tour of the facility could be scheduled at the end of the August 7, 1997 Board Meeting. The Board agreed. 2) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, introduced Infrastructure Division Manager Jay S. McCoy, who provided an update on the proposed Leona Court Contractual Assessment District (CAD) brought to the Board for consideration at the July 3, 1997 Board Meeting. Mr. McCoy showed a map of the proposed boundary of the Leona Court CAD which reflects the comments made at the last Board Meeting. With regard to the proposed Leona Court CAD, Mr. McCoy stated that: . The sewer will be extended the full length of Leona Court; . Three property owners have each agreed to pay one-third share of the costs; . Requirements of Proposition 218 will be met; and . Requirements of Assessment District law will be met. Mr. McCoy stated that specific recommendations will be made at the August 7, 1997 Board Meeting. Mr. McCoy requested feedback from the Board. Discussion followed in which Member Boneysteele expressed concern about modifying the CAD criteria previously adopted to accommodate this 07 17 97 188 situation, and the possibility that the property owners at the end of Leona Court may at some point in the future be allowed to connect to the sewer without reimbursing the property owners who paid to extend the sewer into Leona Court. Mr. McCoy stated that it is proposed that in Leona Court the total sewer project will be done at one time and paid for by three property owners. When that is done, a rebate will be created. When the five other property owners connect, they will pay their share and it will be paid back to the original three property owners who paid for the project in proportion to their contribution. Member Hockett commented favorably on this opportunity to provide service to this area. These people have no other opportunity to get sewer service and it is the District's job to provide that service. Member Lucey endorsed the staff proposal for providing service to the Leona Court area, particularly in light of the fact that the project will be funded in full by the property owners. Member Nejedly expressed support for the proposed project but stated that the District should adhere to its rules as much as possible to avoid confusion and problems in the future. Member Hockett stated that it is the District's job to provide sewer service and we should be as flexible as possible. Mr. Robert A. Baker, Deputy Chief Engineer, stated that it is good to have some structure so staff can deal with the more routine situations without coming to the Board. Following further discussion, it was agreed that a position paper will be presented for the Board's consideration at the August 7, 1997 Board Meeting, recommending that the Board authorize moving forward with the proposed Leona Court CAD as a demonstration project so that the District will maintain the flexibility to modify CAD criteria in the future as experience is gained in the process 3) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, introduced Mr. Charles W. Batts, Plant Operations Department Manager, who reported that Acme Landfill Corporation has asked the District to extend its current landfill gas contract for one year, until September 1998. Acme is now bidding closure of the north parcel. The new gas wells to be installed on that parcel will be to keep gas from building up under the cap. This gas will be flared. Mr. Batts stated that unless the Board objects, he will sign a one-year extension to the current agreement with Acme Landfill Corporation for landfill gas. Conditions in Acme's closure of the north parcel will be included to protect the District's outfall. In six months negotiations will begin on a new long- term gas agreement. By signing the one-year extension, there would be no commitment beyond one year and the District would not be obliged to enter into a long-term contract. Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, briefly recapped the Acme Landfill Corporation litigation settled earlier this year. The Board voiced no objection to a one-year extension to the current landfill gas agreement with Acme Landfill Corporation. 4) Mr. Batts, Plant Operations Department Manager, stated that about four months ago he reported to the Board that the District was participating in the Regional Planning Study for Recycled Water through its Bay Area Dischargers Association membership. Mr. Batts stated that this project has gone through a number of transitions. It began in the 1992-1993 time frame as the San Francisco Area Water Reclamation Study. It was obvious 1797 07 189 from the initial study that San Francisco could not do this project on its own. So in 1993-1994, the project evolved into the Bay ArealSan Joaquin Water Reuse Project. It became clear that the communities along the canal would have to be involved, a public outreach effort would be needed, and other project areas may be appropriate for consideration as well, so the project transitioned again into the Central California Regional Water Recycling Project. Three things have focused attention on local reuse: 1 ) Agencies such as Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, say it is too costly to transport water to the Central Valley; 2) Plants in the South Bay are worried about flow caps so they are starting a massive recycling project; and 3) The State of California is beginning an effort to support recycled water projects and those are being done on a local basis. Mr. Batts stated that the Bay Area Regional Water Recycling Program is a partnership of 17 water and wastewater agencies, the State of California, and the Federal Bureau of Reclamation. The Program goals are to: . Identify water recycling opportunities; . Assess potential regional and local benefits; . Develop an economic basis for comparison of projects; . Serve as a model for agreements for projects; and . Initiate some Bay Area demonstration projects. Mr. Batts stated that consultants have been selected, committees are being formed, and funding is being secured. The Board will receive a future update on the project itself. In response to a question from President Menesini, Mr. Batts stated that he believed the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District/East Bay Municipal Utility District Lamorinda Recycled Water Project would qualify as a demonstration project. It may be possible to obtain information from this study to help with the Environmental Impact Report and economic model to help justify the project. The Bay Area Regional Water Recycling Program may also form a basis for informing the public, and lobbying for passage of legislation to encourage the use of recycled water. President Menesini thanked Mr. Batts for his report and indicated that Mr. Randy Raines will address an Environmental Alliance Workshop on this subject on July 21, 1 997. 5) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, announced that there will be a public hearing to consider the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District/East Bay Municipal Utility District Lamorinda Recycled Water Project on September 15, 1997, at 7:00 p.m. at the St. Mary's College campus. Copies of the Administrative Draft EIR are available for Board review. 6) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, invited the Board to the "Last Chlorine Tank Car" picnic scheduled for noon on July 23, 1997. 7) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that retired District employee Rodger Smith had numerous claims for Workers' Compensation benefits pending against State Fund, the District's Workers' Compensation carrier. Mr. Smith had also filed an action against the District for benefits under Labor Code Section 132(a) claiming discrimination by the District because of his Workers' Compensation claims. At a July hearing of the Workers' 07 17 97 190 b. Compensation Appeals Board, a Compromise and Release settlement was reached between Mr. Smith, State Fund, and the District. Without additional costs to the District, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed with prejudice the 132(a) discrimination claim against the District. 8) Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, announced that there was a break in at the Martinez Pumping Station recently. Tools, estimated to be worth $3,000, were taken. A report was made to the police and efforts are being made to augment security. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT 1 ) Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, distributed a draft agreement with Contra Costa County relating to Proposition 218 indemnification. Mr. Aim stated that he reported at the last Board Meeting that there has been some controversy statewide whether a county auditor-controller can impose conditions on collecting fees on the county tax roll. The District's fees and charges must be submitted to the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller by August 10, 1997 for collection on the tax roll. Contra Costa County collects fees and charges for some 200 agencies. Inputting that much information takes some time. The County's position is that historically this County has never had an agreement between entities using tax collecting services and themselves. Other counties have had such agreements. Contra Costa County has simply sent a letter setting forth time lines and billing for the service. The District has submitted the information together with the appropriate resolutions. Contra Costa County now wants to formalize this arrangement because of possible increased scrutiny due to the passage of Proposition 218, the Right to Vote on Taxes Initiative, and the County's position that the risk that each agency has carried out the law should be that of the agency and not the tax collector. Mr. Aim stated that the general consensus of those he talked to was that no one objects to signing an agreement that allocates risk between the tax collector and the agency where it belongs. Moreover, their position is that if we were to get into a dispute on this issue, the costs for the County's defense should be borne by the public agency who requested that the fees be put on the tax roll. Mr. Aim stated that the discussion is whether the agreement provided by the County for signature does that appropriately. The County is not willing to draft custom agreements for each of the 200 agencies; however, they are willing to consider comments and prepare a second draft. Mr. Aim reviewed the draft agreement before the Board and the modifications proposed by District Counsel. Mr. Aim requested that the Board authorize staff to sign the agreement as presented to the Board or in substantially that form if acceptable to both District staff and District Counsel. Mr. Aim stated that this agreement will be sent with a cover letter indicating that the District wants to have its fees and charges placed on the tax roll and indicating that the District has signed the agreement and hopes that it is acceptable to the County. Following discussion, it was moved by Member Lucey and seconded by Member Hockett, that staff be authorized to execute the Agreement for Collection of Special Taxes, Fees, Charges and Assessments (Proposition 218 Indemnification Agreement) with Contra Costa County as submitted to the Board or in substantially that form if acceptable to both District staff and District Counsel; and that the agreement be forwarded to the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller with a cover letter stating the District's position. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. c. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT None 07 17 97 191 d. BOARD MEMBERS 1 ) President Menesini and Member Hockett indicated that they will be unable to attend the Contra Costa Special Districts Association meeting on July 21 , 1997. Member Nejedly will represent the Board at that meeting. 2) Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the Adjourned Regular Board Meeting scheduled for August 28, 1997 be canceled because of the conflict with the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) meeting and the fact that there will be another Board Meeting three working days following August 28, 1997. Members Boneysteele and Menesini requested that the timing of Board agenda delivery be scheduled for discussion at a future Board Meeting. 7. BREAK President Menesini declared a recess at the hour of 3:44 p.m., reconvening at the hour of 3:55 p.m. with all parties present as previously designated. 8. ADMINISTRATIVE a. APPROVE RENEWAL OF EMPLOYEE COMPUTER HARDWARE PURCHASE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, introduced Mr. Andrew Sniderman, Management Information System (MIS) Administrator, who stated that during the first two years of the Employee Computer Hardware Purchase Assistance Program 57 loans have been extended for a total dollar amount of $104,000. The revolving loan fund of $70,000 currently has $34,000 in outstanding loans with a $36,000 balance available for new loans. Following discussion, it was moved by Member Boneysteele and seconded by Member Lucey, that renewal of the Employee Computer Hardware Purchase Assistance Program be approved effective July 1, 1997. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. a. 9. ENGINEERING AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MARTINEZ FOR SEWER RELOCATION AS PART OF THE PACHECO BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. DP 4950 Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager, stated that the City of Martinez is planning a project to improve Pacheco Boulevard. The District will be doing the Martinez East Side Trunk Sewer Project at approximately the same time. When possible, the District wishes to join together with other agencies to reduce costs and minimize impacts on communities. Mr. Morsen introduced Mr. Curtis W. Swanson, Principal Engineer, who stated that as staff neared completion of design on the Martinez East Side Trunk Sewer Project, it was learned that the City of Martinez is also planning to do a project in the same area. In order to minimize disruption to residents and avoid having to come in and repave an area, the District tries to join projects with other agencies where possible. To accomplish this joint project, a Pacheco Boulevard Joint Project Agreement is being processed. The sewer will be constructed along with road, water, and utility improvements. The City will be the lead agency, responsible for bidding and construction management. The District will pay for sewer construction costs. The District and the City will share construction management costs with the City paying 83.33 percent and the District paying 16.67 percent, based on the estimated costs of the improvements. During sewer construction, the District will provide inspection, surveying, and design services. Sewer construction costs are estimated at $590,000. The District will pay for sewer construction costs based on the actual bid prices; the District will prepare sewer plans and specifications and the City will collate them into the bid package; and the District will review and approve prior to award of contract by the City. Mr. Swanson stated that benefits of the Pacheco Boulevard Joint Project include: 07 17 97 192 . Lesser construction impacts on residents; . Potential for lower construction costs; . Reduced potential for contractor interference or disruption; . Overall shorter construction time period; and . Foster cooperation between agencies. In closing, Mr. Swanson stated that examples of other joint projects done by the District include Contra Costa County Assessment District with sewer component, Contra Costa County Flood Control DistrictlCorps of Engineers Walnut Creek Bypass Project, City of Danville Camino Tassajara Assessment District, and City of Walnut Creek South Broadway Extension Project. The proposed agreement with the City of Martinez is patterned after the agreements used on these projects. Mr. SwanSon stated that the Martinez City Council considered and authorized execution of the proposed agreement earlier this week. Following discussion of dry weather capacity and the size of the pipelines, it was moved by Member Boneysteele and seconded by Member Nejedly, that the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District be authorized to execute an agreement with the City of Martinez for sewer construction as part of the Pacheco Boulevard Improvements Project, DP 4950. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. President Menesini commended Mr. Swanson and Management Analyst Jackie Zayac for their presentations on this project a number of months ago at a Martinez town meeting. The public interface portion of the project is off to a good start. b. CONFIRM FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE GARY WAY CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 97-1 Mr. Jay S. McCoy, Infrastructure Division Manager, stated that the Gary Way Contractual Assessment District (CAD) Project, the first CAD undertaken by the District, is nearly concluded. Mr. McCoy reviewed the chronology of events beginning with the adoption of the Resolution of Intention nine months ago on October 17, 1996. The Engineer's Report was filed by engineer David Hop on March 20, 1997. Wayne A. Schlosser Construction, Inc. began construction on May 15, 1997 and completed work on June 26, 1997. The matter now before the Board is confirmation of the final assessments. It was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Nejedly, that Resolution No. 97-127 be adopted, confirming final assessments and authorizing filing of a Notice of Assessment in the office of the County Recorder for the Gary Way CAD No. 97-1. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. c. ESTABLISH AUGUST 7.1997 AS THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT SPECIFIC FACILITIES PLAN FOR WASTEWATER UTILITY SERVICE TO DOUGHERTY VALLEY AND TRIBUTARY PROPERTIES Mr. Morsen, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Mr. Jarred Miyamoto- Mills, Principal Engineer, who stated that Dougherty Valley developments have been proceeding for over ten years. The District has been involved in one sense or another in looking at the potential to serve this area since that time. In 1986 the San Ramon Valley Trunk Sewer Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and project were approved. This 1986 EIR considered several growth alternatives when sizing the project and included 17,000 units in Dougherty Valley. In 1992 the Dougherty Valley Program EIR and Specific Plan were approved and the number of units in the Dougherty Valley dropped to approximately 11,000, the current number. Also in 1992, EIR lawsuits were filed. In 1994 the Shapell development of the Country Club at Gale Ranch Project EIR and project were approved, and the property was annexed to the District. In 1995, lawsuit settlement agreements confirmed the preference for the District to be the preferred provider of wastewater services for the Dougherty Valley as set forth in the EIR. In 1996, the Windemere Phase 1 and Gale Ranch Phase 2 EIRs and projects were approved. In 1997, Windemere annexed to the District and Gale Ranch was added to the District's sphere of influence. 07 17 97 193 Mr. Miyamoto-Mills stated that the area described as Dougherty Valley and tributary properties includes all of Gale Ranch (Shapell), Gumpert Ranch (Windemere), and West Branch (Shapell), and portions of Lawrence/Leema Road Specific Plan area, Tassajara Meadows (Kaufman & Broad), Wendt Ranch (Shape ), and Tassajara Property Owners Association. Mr. Miyamoto-Mills stated that in November 1995, G. S. Dodson & Associates performed a Sewer Service Study for this area evaluating nine pumping station and gravity tunnel alternatives. Compared on a life-cycle cost basis, the gravity tunnel was the preferred alternative. The lowest cost pumping station alternative was $5.3 million more than the preferred alternative. In 1996 and 1997, Woodward-Clyde Consultants was hired to determine whether a tunnel in the proposed location was feasible and to generate preliminary cost estimates for the various configurations. It was determined that the tunnel was technically feasible. Two configuration options were considered: one with a walkway access for inspection at an estimated cost of $14.4 million, and a second grouted-in-place pipeline at an estimated cost of $11.2 million. The second option was estimated to be $4.1 million less than the lowest cost pumping station option. The Woodward-Clyde costs estimates were much more detailed than those in the Dodson report. Mr. Miyamoto-Mills reviewed the proposed alignment and the configuration options. Mr. Miyamoto-Mills reviewed the financing for Dougherty Valley facilities. On-site facilities will be designed, built, and contributed by the developers in accordance with the District's current practice. Off-site facilities to reach the District's existing system (Dougherty Tunnel and trunk sewers) will be designed and built by the District and financed by developers with no financial risk to the District's current customers. Off-site facilities improvements needed at the Larwin Pumping Station, in downstream force mains and gravity sewers, and at the Treatment Plant will be paid for with Capital Improvement Fees in accordance with the District's existing approach for these facilities. Mr. Miyamoto-Mills requested that the Board set a public hearing for September 4, 1 997, rather than the original plan of August 7, 1997, to receive comments on the Specific Facilities Plan. The Specific Facilities Plan will be distributed to the Board and public on August 7, 1997. Following discussion of Dougherty Valley facilities financing, it was moved by Member Hockett and seconded by Member Nejedly, that September 4, 1997 be established as the date for a public hearing to receive comments on the draft Specific Facilities Plan for Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties. There being no objection, the motion was unanimously approved. 10. HUMAN RESOURCES a. ADOPT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' UNION LOCAL NO.1.
