HEARINGS CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON FY 2005- 2006 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET. DEBT SERVICE FUND BUDGET. AND THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND BUDGET 1) Controller Debbie Ratcliff provided a brief overview of each budget, showing current budgets vs. 2005-06 figures. She began with the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget. She stated that O&M revenues are projected to increase by 13.5% primarily due to a shift in Sewer Service Charge revenue from Capital to O&M, while O&M expenses will increase by 7.5%. She described key labor cost increases, including increases in retirement, medical insurance, and salaries and wages. Other key increases to the O&M Budget include a 21.8 percent increase in utilities and a 29.4 percent increase in legal fees. Debt service interest expense will be approximately $1.7 million, with principal payments of $2.1 million. She described the self-insurance fund, stating that revenues are expected to decline by $33,000, with expenses increasing by about $65,000 due to increases in loss payments and technical services. This year, reserves will be reduced by $479,000, and next year by $578,000, putting the reserve balance at $2.9 million. 2005-06 Debt Service interest and principal expense of $3,888,334 will be matched by revenues of $3,888,334. The public hearing was opened and closed without comments. It was moved by Member Boneysteele and seconded by Member Nejedly to approve the FY 2005-2006 Operations and Maintenance Budget, Debt Service Fund Budget, and Self-Insurance Fund Budget approved for inclusion in the District budget as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. . 2) CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AUTHORIZING COLLECTION OF THE FY 2005- 2006 SEWER SERVICE CHARGES ON THE COUNTY TAX ROLL Controller Debbie Ratcliff stated that each year the Board is requested to adopt a resolution authorizing staff to place the collection of the sewer charges on the County tax roll. The public hearing was opened and closed without comments. It was moved by Member Boneysteele and seconded by Member Lucey to adopt Resolution 2005-051, authorizing collection of the FY 2005-2006 Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. 3) CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES As recommended by staff, the public hearing was continued to July 21,2005 at 2 p.m. to allow the property owners to bring the delinquent sewer service charges current by June 28, 2005. b. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO DECLARE THE FOLLOWING DISTRICT LAND CURRENTLY SURPLUS AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO EXECUTE LEASE AGREEMENTS: 1 4737 IMHOFF PLACE 2 ANIMAL SERVICES SHELTER 3 LAGISS PROPERTY 4 KIEWIT PROPERTY 5 WILLOWS CENTER CONCORD. LLC 6-2-05 240 General Manager Charles Batts stated that the hearing is to receive public comment on several properties that the District may wish to lease. The hearing fulfills a statutory requirement and will allow staff to proceed with future lease negations. Director of Administration Randy Musgraves presented a report, describing the five locations under consideration: 4737 Imhoff Place (warehouse bays); the former County Animal Services Shelter site at 4849 Imhoff Place; the Lagiss Property, approximately 48 acres located northeast of Blum Road, at the end of the road; the Kiewit Property, approximately 33 acres located northeast of the Treatment Plant at 5019 Imhoff Place; and a strip of land at the Willows Shopping Center. He stated that the properties are not currently needed for District use, although that may change at some point in the future. He stated that 4737 Imhoff Place is a large warehouse comprised of 11 bays, which are leased out for approximately $140,000 annual income. Staff is requesting that the Board authorize staff to execute and administer the leases, which will not exceed ten years in length. The County is preparing to demolish unwanted structures at the former Animal Shelter at 4849 Imhoff Place. He stated that the District's property manager will market the lease of the property and any proposed lease will be brought to the Board for approval through the Real Estate Committee. The Lagiss property is currently leased out for livestock grazing, and staff is requesting authorization to continue short-term leases of the property for livestock or agrarian uses. The District receives $600 per year in rental income. With regard to the Kiewit property, staff is pursing proposals to raise and grade the property with clean soil. Two requests have been received to graze livestock and temporarily store gravel, the latter of which has been held up at the County level by the requirement for a Use Permit. He requested authorization for staff to execute the lease for livestock grazing. Environmental Services Division Manager Curt Swanson addressed the Board regarding the 20-feet by 1464-feet strip of land at The Willows Shopping Center. He stated that the land serves as a right-of-way corridor for the existing 72-inch diameter A- line interceptor, and is located between the Willows Shopping Center in Concord and Interstate 680. The District has been leasing the surface of the right-of-way to the Willows Center for parking since 1983. He stated that staff is requesting that the Board declare the surface of the property currently surplus and authorize staff to execute a ten-year lease at $11,900 per year, with an annual increase of 4% per year. District Counsel Kent Aim stated that a public hearing is necessary for the leasing of District property. He stated that this has been done in the past but may not have been consistently applied. He stated that resolutions have been prepared for each of the five properties under discussion, setting forth specific delegations to staff. The resolutions have been revised to clarify that the properties are only declared unnecessary for District use at the present time; a determination which may change at a future date. Member Boneysteele recalled that the acquisition of the Kiewit and Lagiss properties was deemed to be of critical necessity at the time and questioned the appropriateness of declaring them surplus. District Counsel Aim stated that the revisions to the resolution make the clarification that the property is not needed at the present time, rather than permanently surplus. Member Boneysteele inquired about the future plans for leasing out the former Animal Shelter property. He expressed concern regarding the District's retaining control of the site if leased, and stated that any decisions on its future use should be brought to the entire Board for consideration. The public hearing was opened and closed without comments. 6-2-05 I I I I I I 241 Member Menesini stated that he is comfortable with the role and function of the Real Estate Committee. He stressed the importance of good communication. He suggested that the former Animal Shelter might be used for storage of materials from CSO. It was moved by Member Lucey and seconded by Member Menesini to adopt Resolutions 2005-052. 2005-053. 2005-054. 2005-055 and 2005-056, to be reviewed in five years, declaring certain District land currently unnecessary for District business and authorizing staff to execute certain lease agreements. Member Boneysteele stated that he would abstain on the motion as he felt inadequately connected with the matter to vote in favor. He expressed concern that, in his opinion, the Board Committees have too much autonomy and all matters should be brought before the entire Board. Member Lucey offered to give up his seat on any Committee on which he sits and which may be of interest to Member Boneysteele, if Member Boneysteele so desired. Motion passed by the following vote of the Board: AYES: NOES: MEMBERS: Lucey, Menesini, Nejedly, Hockett MEMBERS: None ABSTAIN: MEMBERS: Boneysteele 5. CALL FOR REQUESTS TO CONSIDER ITEMS OUT OF ORDER None. 6. BIDS AND AWARDS a. AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR TELEVISION INSPECTION OF SANITARY SEWERS TO ROTO-ROOTER FOR THE TV INSPECTION PROGRAM PROJECT. DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5547. PHASE 4 General Manager Charles Batts stated that the Television Inspection of Sanitary Sewers - Phase 4 Project will be the next phase of the closed-circuit television inspection of the entire collection system. Phases 1 and 2 have completed all of the inspection of the Orinda sewers. Phase 3 completed most of the Walnut Creek sewers, and Phase 4 Will TV inspect the sewers in Lafayette. The work is included in the 2005/2006 CIB. Member Nejedly commended Roto-Rooter on their exemplary work. It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Menesini to authorize award of contract as recommended in the amount of $796,454, with an optional one- year extension. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. b. AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO DARCY & HARTY CONSTRUCTION. INC. FOR THE VESSING SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT. DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5646. AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PLEASANT HILL FOR THE VESSING SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT General Manager Charles Batts stated that, on May 24, 2005 the District opened bids for the Vessing Renovation Project. Two sealed bids, ranging from $3.4 million to $4.1 million, were received. Darcy and Harty Construction Inc is the apparent low bidder. The project consists of reconstruction of approximately 14,000 feet of sewer pipe, ranging in size from 8 to 15 inches in diameter. Associate Engineer Sasha Mestetsky provided an overview of the Vessing Renovation Project. He stated that the project is needed to renovate deteriorated pipe and increase hydraulic capacity. He stated that 14,000 feet of pipe will be replaced, 6,000 of which is 6-2-05 242 in private easements. He described public outreach efforts, stating that there were 33 individual meetings with homeowners, homeowner association meetings, public workshops and a City Council presentation. He described the challenges of the project, which include wet weather constraints, obtaining necessary permits, and public concerns regarding noise, dust and construction impacts. He gave an outline of the proposed construction schedule. In response to a question from Member Lucey, Mr. Mestetsky stated that, in his opinion, only two bids were received because of the number of public agency projects currently being bid and the fact that the project is rather complex. Member Boneysteele inquired about the Hoover Court slide and its specific location. I It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Nejedly to authorize the award of contract in the amount of $3,398,225, and to authorize staff to negotiate the JPA with the City of Pleasant Hill as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. c. AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO CALIFORNIA TRENCH LESS. INC. FOR THE WALNUT CREEK SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT. PHASE 3. DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5929 General Manager Charles Batts stated that two bids were received for the Walnut Creek Sewer Renovation Phase 3 Project. The Engineer's estimate was $1.4 million. Bids ranged from just under $1.4 million to just over $1.5 million. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was California Trenchless Inc. of Castro Valley. He stated that the project is part of an ongoing program to replace or renovate deteriorated sections of the collection system. This is a third phase of the sewer renovation program within the City of Walnut Creek, and consists of renovation and replacement of approximately 7,000 feet of 6- and 9- inch diameter sewers at thirteen locations throughout the City of Walnut Creek and the unincorporated county area. Construction work is estimated to be complete by the end of December 2005. I It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Nejedly to authorize the award of contract as recommended in the amount of $1,387,055. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. d. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO ALLOCATE 15000 FROM THE COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT. AND AWARD A CONTRACT TO DUNN LANDSCAPE COMPANY FOR DEMOLITION OF LAWRENCE ROAD PUMPING STATIONS. DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5824 General Manager Charles Batts stated that, for about the last ten years, properties along Lawrence Road in Danville have been served by two temporary pumping stations. These stations were built by a developer as a condition for Central San service and in cooperation with the Town of Danville's Lawrence/Leema Road Benefit District. O&M costs and a fund for eventual disassembly and removal of the pumping stations were paid for through a special annual Sewer Service Charge; the most recent charge was $121 per unit (320 units) per year for 2004-05. In February 2005, completion of a trunk sewer extension from the Dougherty Valley allowed decommissioning of the pumping stations. The District solicited bids for the disassembly, demolition and removal of the stations. The District will salvage equipment for future use. In particular, the two low-emission diesel engine-driven generators will replace older higher emission equipment at other District pumping stations. I He stated that staff recommends that the Board authorize an additional allocation of $15,000 from the Collection System Program Contingenéy Account and award the demolition contract for $31 ,765 to Dunn Landscape Company, the lowest responsible bidder, for completion of the project. 6-2-05 I I I 243 It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Menesini to authorize allocation of funds and approve the award of contract approved as recommended in the amount of $31 ,765. Motion passed by unahimous vote of the Board. e. AUTHORIZE REQUEST OF BID RELIEF TO BLOCKA CONSTRUCTION. INC.. AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO MONTEREY MECHANICAL COMPANY. AND AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ENGINEERING SERVICES. INC. FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCB VENTILATION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. PHASE 2. DISTRICT PROJECT 7227 General Manager Charles Batts stated that the District has received a request from Blocka Construction, the low bidder on Construction of the SCB Ventilation Improvements Project, Phase 2, District Project 7227, requesting bid relief due to a clerical error. Mr. Causey, Project Coordinator for Blocka Construction, explained that his company's bid included a clerical error in the addition on the recap sheet. The formula did not correctly add in all the figures. He requested that the Board grant his request for bid relief due to clerical error. Member Nejedly expressed concern about the apparent inability of bidders to correctly calculate their bids, citing other recent requests for bid relief due to clerical errors. District Counsel Kent Aim responded to questions from Member Lucey regarding the District's ability to reject all the bids and rebid the project. Member Lucey asked that District Counsel prepare a report regarding the matter. Capital Projects Division Manager Bill Brennan presented a summary of the request for bid relief, stating that a computational error occurred in the bid calculation which resulted in the exclusion of $109,356 for mechanical piping work. This error, plus the contractor's markup of 10 percent, resulted in a total error of $120,300, or 13 percent of the project cost. He stated that staff recommends granting the request for bid relief and authorizing the award of contract to Monterey Mechanical as the lowest responsive bidder. He stated that staff recommends retaining ESI to provide support services during construction of the project, and recommends that the Board authorize staff to execute an amendment to the existing agreement in the amount of $35,000 to review shop drawings and submittals, respond to design questions, evaluate change order requests, and perform site visits to verify compliance with the design intent. It was moved by Member Menesini and seconded by Member Boneysteele to grant the request for bid relief and to direct staff to return the bid bond; to award the construction contract to Monterey Mechanical Company as recommended in the amount of $1,044,000; and to authorize the General Manager to execute an amendment to the professional services agreement with Engineering Services, Inc. as recommended. Member Nejedly stated that he would not support the motion, expressing frustration with repeated requests for bid relief due to bidding errors and lack of accountability of the bidders. Motion passed by the following vote of the Board: AYES: MEMBERS: Boneysteele, Lucey, Menesini, Hockett NOES: MEMBERS: Nejedly 6-2-05 244 7. ITEMS HELD OVER FROM PREVIOUS BOARD MEETINGS: a. ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS WITH CITIES. COUNTIES. SPECIAL DISTRICTS. AND OTHER GOVERNING ENTITIES NOT TO EXCEED $50.000 General Manager Charles Batts stated that, during the course of constructing District projects, it is often desirable to enter into partnerships with other public agencies, such as cities or the county. Such agreements can increase the cost-effectiveness of the construction project and can reduce overall construction impacts. Currently, all such agreements, known as Joint Powers Agreements (JPAs), must come to the Board for approval. Often these agreements must be developed in the field, when time is of the essence. In an effort to streamline the design and construction of District projects, staff is recommending that authority to approve such JPA's when they are $50,000 or less, be delegated to the General Manager. Director of Engineering Ann Farrell described the purpose of JPA's and when they are used. Most of the JPA's are used for restoration in cities and counties following construction projects. She stated that the current requirement is that all such JPA's go to the Board for approval. However, staff can authorize private property restorations of less than $25,000. She stated that staff recommends granting staff the authority of approving JPA's with public agencies of up to $50,000, consistent with other staff authority, such as construction change orders, encroachment permit fees and consultant contracts for capital projects. It was moved by Member Nejedly and seconded by Member Menesini to adopt Resolution 2005-057, authorizing the General Manager to execute joint powers agreements (JPAs) with cities, counties, special districts, and other government entities not to exceed $50,000 as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. 8. REPORTS a. GENERAL MANAGER 1) General Manager Charles Batts stated that the District's Internal Auditor, Rosemary Belland, completed her audits for fiscal year 2004-05. The audit results were reviewed with the Finance Committee. Three areas were looked at: procurement cards, sewer service charge direct bills, and recycled water billings. Controller Debbie Ratcliff presented a report on the internal audit results. With regard to the Procurement Cards, she stated that the auditor updated the flowcharts where needed, and found that all transactions were in compliance. No recommendations were made. The auditor focused on Sewer Service Charge direct bills and multi-users and on recycled water billings. She updated flowcharts where necessary. Her recommendations were to include the updated flowcharts in written documentation, which has been done; to obtain flowcharts from HTE; and to ensure that the new HTE software includes an audit trail feature, which has been done. Additional recommendations included that Accounting should send confirmations to the Sewer Service Charge area when adjustments are received; a recommendation to ensure that due dates on direct bills reflect the same due dates as property tax bills; and a recommendation that the Accounting Department should process recycled water bills. Ms. Ratcliff stated that the Budget and Finance Committee reviewed the auditor's recommendations. The Committee recommended routine visits 6-2-05 I I I I I I b. c. None. 245 to multi-use shopping centers; recommended obtaining the flowcharts from HTE; recommended actively involving Accounting in developing the new Sewer Service Charge system; and recommended using the new Sewer Service Charge billing system for recycled water if possible. She stated that recommended areas to be audited next year include the Warehouse Process at CSO, and Service Contracts and Consultant Agreements. President Hockett stated that she visited the Permit Counter inquiring about an Alamo restaurant owner who recently remodeled and expanded his restaurant. She indicated that it appears the Permit Counter records were not up to date as there was no record of the expansion. She stressed that additional public education is necessary at the Permit Center, which may take the form of a handout with a description of the plant, history, fees, what customers are paying for, and how annual fees are based on water use. 2) General Manager Charles Batts announced that Maintenance Planner Mark Cavallero will attend a seminar entitled "Electrical Power Training - Protective Device Coordination" in Dallas, Texas, on June 21-24,2005 The training was included in the FY 2004-05 budget. 3) General Manager Charles Batts announced that, on May 11 th, Central San staff hosted a meeting for the owners of property along Camino del Diablo and Chaparral Place in Orinda to discuss a proposed sewering project. This is an area where conventional gravity service is not feasible due to topographical constraints. The owners of the home at 58 Camino del Diablo, Bill and Patricia Jahnke, have committed to extend a public multi-user, low-pressure main sewer from the intersection of EI Toyonal, Vista del Orinda and Chaparral Place to their home. The Jahnke's need public sewer service due to failure of their septic tank system and imminent plans for extensive remodel. Twelve existing homes currently served by septic tank systems could eventually connect to the low- pressure main. One ofthese properties is the home of Orinda City Council Member Victoria Smith. Representatives of five of the twelve property owners and three District staff (Ann Farrell, Jarred Miyamoto-Mills and Russell Leavitt) attended the meeting. Discussion of the technical aspects of the low-pressure sewer system, details for service to individual lots and costs, the meeting was generally positive. After the meeting three property owners, other than the Jahnkes, expressed an interest in obtaining sewer service in the near-term via the project. In addition, one property owner who was unable to attend the meeting called to receive more information and indicated that they would likely connect within one year. COUNSEL FOR THE DISTRICT 1) District Counsel Kent Aim announced the near-completion of the escrow for the sale of District property to the Town of Danville. 2) District Counsel announced he will be on vacation the week of June 13, 2005. SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT 6-2-05 246 d. BOARD OF DIRECTORS 1) Member Lucey, Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, reported that the Committee reviewed the expenditures and took no exception. It was moved by Member Lucey and seconded by President Hockett to approve the Expenditure List dated June 2, 2005, including Self Insurance Check Nos. 102226 to 102232, Running Expense Check Nos. 155650 to 155845, Sewer Construction Fund Check Nos. 27657 to 27702. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. 2) Member Menesini, Chair of the Outreach Committee, reported on the May 26, 2005 Outreach Committee Meeting. President Hockett presented a report on May 26, 2005 Sanitation and Water Agencies of Contra Costa County Meeting. She stated that Supervisor Piepho spoke about her role on the Board, the need for levee repair, the urban limit line, land use, and the formation of MACs (Municipal Advisory Committees) in unincorporated areas. 3) 4) Member Menesini announced the upcoming Environmental Alliance meeting to be held on June 20, 2005 regarding global climate change. 9. ENGINEERING a. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH VALLEY ENGINEERING GROUP TO PROVIDE RELIEF INSPECTORS FOR THE 2005 SUMMER CONSTRUCTION OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS General Manager Charles Batts stated that, for the last five years, District practice has been to have the Engineering Department design staff follow a project into the construction phase and act as the inspector and/or resident engineer in the field. The construction duties limit the following year's design schedule and make it difficult to bid projects early in the construction season. The use of contract inspectors to cover some of the fieldwork would allow the District's engineers to continue with design of next year's projects. A Request for Proposal was sent to 12 professional engineering firms. Only one firm, Valley Engineering Group, submitted a timely proposal. VEG has successfully provided construction inspection and drafting services for the District in the past. Staff has negotiated an hourly rate of $63 to $70 for the relief inspectors based on qualifications. Relief inspection services will be paid from the capital projects accounts. Staff has estimated that we will need up to 3,000 hours of time. The total cost of the contract with VEG is not to exceed $210,000. He stated that staff recommends the Board authorize the General Manager to execute a professional services agreement with VEG in the amount of $210,000, to provide relief construction inspection services for the District's summer 2005 capital projects. It was moved by President Hockett and seconded by Member Nejedly to authorize the General Manager to execute a professional engineering services agreement with Valley Engineering Group as recommended. Motion passed by unanimous vote of the Board. 10. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: It was moved by President Hockett and seconded by Member Menesini to approve the minutes of May 5, 2005.
