HEARINGS Type of Action: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING; CONSIDER ANNEXATION Subject: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER INHABITED DISTRICT ANNEXATION 145, PARCELS 8 AND 9, AS AMENDED BY THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) Submitted By: John Mercurio, Management Analyst Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering/Environmental Services Div. REVI~D AND RECDM~JlFDR BOARD A~TlDN' J. M",,,;o c. Sw.n"n ___ ISSUE: LAFCO has amended the boundaries of parcels 8 and 9 included within District Annexation 145. This amendment added all properties within an "island area" within the District's boundary and changed the two parcels into one annexation parcel. The District must hold a public hearing and consider testimony by affected property owners before acting on the proposed amended annexation. BACKGROUND: The above-referenced annexation consisting of ten separate parcels was sent to LAFCO as required for the formal annexation process. LAFCO amended the boundaries of parcels 8 and 9 during its approval process. These amendments were made to improve the continuity of the resulting District boundary. In amending the boundaries of this District annexation, LAFCO added sufficient properties to change the subject annexation from uninhabited to inhabited (12 or more registered voters). District staff has obtained signed annexation petitions from 10 of the 11 properties included within this annexation and has not had any objection to the annexation from the one parcel that did not return a signed petition. The amended annexation area is shown on Attachment 1. CEQA REQUIREMENTS: CCCSD staff has concluded that the proposed annexation is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.14 because the areas included within the annexation contain existing structures developed to the densities allowed by the local land-use planning agency and the extension of sewer service would have capacity to serve only those existing facilities. Approval of this annexation will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that the annexation is exempt from CEQA. 6/24/99 U:\PPr\Annex 145 Prel 8-9.wpd Page 2 of 7 --_.._------~----_."~~-,..._---_._--_.~_._..,.--'~~_.-----.-.---.--------- POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999 Subject: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER INHABITED DISTRICT ANNEXATION 145, PARCELS 8 AND 9, AS AMENDED BY THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) ANNEXATION REQUIREMENTS: District Annexation 145, parcels 8 and 9, as submitted to LAFCO were single area annexations. The action by LAFCO separated a portion of District Annexation 145 into the subject inhabited annexation (12 or more registered voters), which requires a public hearing. Legal notice was published, and the affected property owners were notified of the public hearing as required by law. Factors to be considered by the Board in deciding to approve or disapprove the proposed annexation are set forth as Attachment 2. Following its review, the Board, not more than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the public hearing, shall adopt a resolution reflecting the appropriate action taken. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Conduct the public hearing on the annexation. Adopt a Resolution independently finding that the annexation IS exempt from CEQA, and taking one of the following actions: a. Order the annexation if no written protests are filed. b. Order the annexation subject to confirmation by election by the registered voters residing within the territory proposed to be annexed if written protests have been filed and not withdrawn by either of the following: (1) At least 25 percent but less than 50 percent of the registered voters residing within the affected territory, or (2) At least 25 percent of the number of owners of land who also own at least 25 percent of the assessed value of land within the affected territory. 6/24/99 U:\PPr\Annex 145 Prel 8-9.wpd Page 3 of 7 ,-_._--.._,._--_.._--_..----_._...----~_..,_....,---'-'._---,--------.~----_.----_...,~.~-"."'---"--~.._-------~-~--_.._._~.

BIDS AND AWARDS Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO J. F. PACIFIC LINERS, INC. FOR MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER PROJECT - CHEMICAL TREATMENT, DISTRICT PROJECT 5328 Submitted By: Joseph J. Pomroy, Assistant Engineer Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering Department/Capital Project Division W. Brennan r1IN fJ. McCoy REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: -If : J. Pomroy JiLL B. Than UfU ISSUE: On June 21, 1999 sealed bids were received and opened for the construction of the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment, District Project 5328. The Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the bid opening. BACKGROUND: The sewage conveyance system from the city of Martinez to the treatment plant consists of three miles of reinforced concrete gravity sewer pipes (see Attachment 1 for project location) and three miles of pressure force mains. As part of an on-going corrosion evaluation of gravity sewers, the Martinez Transmission gravity sewers were inspected to check their condition. The inspections concluded that these gravity sewers had been subjected to corrosive conditions and that the corrosion rate needed to be controlled to prolong the life of these pipelines. Even though some corrosion had taken place, the inspections also concluded that the majority of the pipeline is in sound structural condition. A project to replace the pipe that was found to be in poor structural condition is currently in the design phase with construction scheduled to occur this fall. A method currently used to control the corrosion of concrete sewer pipe is to apply a layer of high alkaline material to the interior exposed pipe surface. This high alkaline material (magnesium hydroxide) stops bacterial growth on the pipe and acts as a buffering agent to acid attack of the pipe wall. The material is applied to the pipe walls with equipment inserted into the sewer under normal operation. The material is typically effective for 12 to 18 months and then must be reapplied. This method of practice is currently being used in other major California cities such as Fresno, Los Angeles, and Stockton. It represents a cost effective method for increasing the service life of concrete gravity sewer pipe. 6/23/99 L:\Position Papers\Pomroy\5328Award.wpd Page 1 of 4 ----------" .--..---.------.........---...--.-----..'.'.'-----'-...-..---,._----~,---",----~.,_._. _.__"_._.._...__._'"___.~.,'____._.__.."._.__"_~_w_.__.______._____ .-.----.-.--.----.- POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: July 1, 1999 Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO J. F. PACIFIC LINERS, INC. FOR MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER PROJECT - CHEMICAL TREATMENT, DISTRICT PROJECT 5328 The Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment will clean, inspect by closed circuit television (CCTV), and apply magnesium hydroxide to these concrete gravity sewer pipes. The plans and specifications for this project were prepared by District staff. District staff will perform the construction management tasks for this construction contract. The project was advertised on June 9 and June 14, 1999. One bid for $103,798.95 was received and publicly opened on June 21, 1999. A summary of this bid is shown in Attachment 2. The Capital Projects Division conducted a technical and commercial evaluation of this bid and has determined that J. F. Pacific Liners, Inc. is the lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount of $103,798.95. The Engineer's Estimate for construction of this project was $70,000. This was based upon information from projects bid at Fresno, Stockton, and the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. In the western region of the country, there are two firms that do this type of work. One is located in Vacaville and the other is in Phoenix, Arizona. The size of this project only attracted one bidder, which is the primary reason for the difference between the Engineer's estimate and the bid. The rejection of all bids and rebidding of this project will result in missing the window of time for applying this product. It is also anticipated that the new submitted bid(s) will not vary in cost from the original bid. This method, if found to be successful, will avoid a potential replacement cost of $6 million for the gravity sewer portion of the Martinez Transmission Sewer. Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Ouality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2, since this involves maintenance of existing sewage facilities with no increase in capacity. Approval of this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this project is exempt from CEOA. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a construction contract to J. F. Pacific Liners, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $103,798.95 for cleaning, CCTV inspection, and alkaline slurry application to 15,300 lineal feet of reinforced concrete gravity sewer pipe for the Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment, DP 5328. 6/23/99 L:\Position Papers\Pomroy\5328Award.wpd Page 2 of 4 __._..".__,._~_,_..""'_.,_ ,._,...._,___.,~_,_ _. ._......_.'m'__..__.,..___,______.~_._,_'~._.,.., .m'_'_'~_~_'_'_' ._.._._-."....M..._._u..___., .__,.._~.__,____, ___,__"__,__~..,___,___.u....__ ._,.,--~----_._.'_.'""'''----'- eay Suisu(l o , PLEASANT HILL BOYD RD _ Project Location Central Contra Costa Sanitary District MARTINEZ TRANSMISSION SEWER REHABILITATION DISTRICT PROJECT 5328 PROJECT LOCATION ATTACHMENT 1 L:\Position papers\Maps\5328.wpd Page 3 of 4 ATTACHMENT 2 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District SUMMARY OF BIDS Project: Martinez Transmission Sewer Project - Chemical Treatment Location: Martinez Date: June 21. 1999 Engr.

ENGINEERING Type of Action: COMPLETE ANNEXATION Subject: ORDER COMPLETION OF DISTRICT ANNEXATION 145, PARCELS 1 THROUGH 7 AND 10 Submitted By: John Mercurio, Management Analyst Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering/Environmental Services Division REVIEWED AND RECDM~\4.:R BOARD A;j~ J. Mercurio C. Swanson ~ ISSUE: A resolution by the District's Board of Directors must be adopted to finalize District Annexation 145, Parcels 1 through 7 and 10. BACKGROUND: The District made application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for the annexation of ten parcels of land designated as District Annexation 145. LAFCO has considered this request and has recommended that Parcels 1 through 7 and 10 as shown on the attachments be processed as submitted. No public hearing is required and the annexation of these parcels can be completed. District staff has concluded that the subject annexation is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.14 because the areas included within the annexation contain existing structures developed to the densities allowed by the local land-use planning agency and the extension of sewer service would have capacity to serve only those existing facilities. Approval of this annexation will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that the annexation is exempt from CEOA. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution independently finding that the subject annexation is categorically exempt from CEOA, and ordering the completion of District Annexation 145, Parcels 1 through 7 and 10. 6/24/99 U:\PPr\Annex 145.WG.wpd Page 1 of 11 RESOLUTION NO. 99- A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY CONTAINED IN DISTRICT ANNEXATION NO. 145 (PARCELS 1 THROUGH 7 & 10) TO THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT WHEREAS, the District Board of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District on September 3, 1998, adopted Resolution 98-96, said Resolution being Resolution of Application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of the County of Contra Costa for annexation of certain properties to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) to be known as District Annexation No. 145; and WHEREAS, the reasons for this annexation are: 1 . These properties are within the ultimate service area of the District, as previously approved by appropriate County agencies, and are or will be connected in the near future to the sanitary sewer system of the District. The District is assuming responsibility, upon annexation, for the continued maintenance and operation of the public sewage facilities. 2. It is the requirement of the District that all served properties annex to the District. (Refer to Sections 6830 and 6522 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California.) 3. Septic tank systems are inadequate for the area and could create a public health problem. 4. The property owners have petitioned for annexation to the District, or have requested and received sewer service subject to District regulations including annexation. - - 5. No other sewering agency can logically serve this area; and WHEREAS, the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on May 12, 1999, adopted Resolution No. 98-53, Making Determinations and Approving Proposed District Annexation No. 145. Said Resolution amended the CCCSD proposal to include only Parcels 1 through 7 and 10 as identified in the original application and assigned the designation of District Annexation No. 145 and authorized the CCCSD Board of Directors to initiate proceedings for annexation without notice and hearing; and WHEREAS, said LAFCO Resolution No. 98-53 approved the annexation as amended to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, subject to the terms and conditions therein; and Page 2 of 11 U:\P1an Review\Gregory\RESOL 145.2.wpd WHEREAS, CCCSD has made a finding that the proposed annexation is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA). NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, DETERMINED, AND ORDERED THAT: SECTION 1.

ENGINEERING Type of Action: Authorize Amendment Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH TAP RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC. FOR CONTINUATION OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Submitted By: Jay S. McCoy, Director of Engineering REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering h{~ ~ General Manager ISSUE: The Board of Directors' approval is requested for professional consultant agreements or amendments over $25,000 that are funded from the Operations and Maintenance Budget. BACKGROUND: The Engineering Department, in 1998 engaged TAP Resource Development Group, Inc. (TAP) to evaluate the Department's organization, culture, and leadership for the purpose of identifying areas to change and to assist in making these changes. The evaluation was a continuation of Work Redesign and is intended to lead to the formation of action plans to address some of the Strategic Issues which were developed by the Board and Staff in our Strategic planning efforts. TAP is a management consultant company based in Denver, Colorado that assists organizations in facing the challenges presented by change. TAP's clients include EBMUD, Delta Diablo Sanitary District, City of Sacramento Water Department, San Francisco Water Department, and Mount Pleasant South Carolina Water and Wastewater Department. The past work by TAP has been coordinated with other local agencies such as EBMUD as will the future work. By using this partnering approach to the scheduling of on site work by the TAP consultants, costs to the District are being minimized. TAP's work to date included a survey of all department employees to address the culture (the way things are done to succeed) of the Department, a leadership survey, analysis of the information obtained from the surveys, presentation of the findings, and development of the Department's Strategic Plan. This work started in July of 1998 and has cost slightly less than $25,000 thus far. 6/24/99 S:\ADMIN\POSPAPER\Amend.

FOR CONTINUATION OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT At the Board meeting on June 17, the Board of Directors discussed the work proposed to address organizational change in the Engineering Department. The discussion focused on working on activities which may constrain the new Director of Engineering and also eliminate the opportunity for the new Director to review progress to date and consider the proposed activities early in the process. To address the Board's wishes, the original concept of moving forward on the next organizational change activities has been modified. The next activities will now include reviewing or refining existing department and division goals, the development of new goals and, then, the establishment of measurements for these goals. Rather than deciding on the specific goals and measurements before the new Director is hired, those decisions will be postponed so that the new Director will be involved in making those decisions. In the meantime, a minimal effort is planned in the area of developing draft goals to continue the process momentum. This will assist the new Director in addressing the issues related to organizational change in the department. By so doing, the integrity of the past process will be maintained and the likelihood of taking actions which may be contrary to the organizational plans of the new Director will be eliminated. Because the hiring of the new Director of Engineering is just two months away, approval of an amendment to the TAP Resource Development Group's agreement, for the next activities only, is requested so that the amendment can be processed before the new Director starts work. The next activities include the revising, refining, and development of possible goals and measurements at a consultant cost not to exceed $5,000. Since the total cost of the work by TAP will exceed $25,000 with the inclusion of the next activities, Board approval of the additional cost is requested.

ENGINEERING Type of Action: Authorize Agreement Subject: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH WILLIAM R. AND LANA J. BURNS RELATIVE TO CONSTRUCTION OF STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS AT 1232 CARMEL COURT, WALNUT CREEK, 1998 STORM DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5205 Submitted By: Curtis W. Swanson Initiating Dept./Div. : Engineering/Environmental Services Division RE~~~ AND RECDMM;;OR BOARD ACTION, C. Swanson I J. McCoy ISSUE: The Board of Directors must authorize agreements involving joint construction projects. BACKGROUND: The District owns an easement for a 30-inch trunk sewer across property owned by William R. and Lana J. Burns and located at 1232 Carmel Court in Walnut Creek . (see attached map). This 30-inch trunk sewer serves portions of the Walnut Creek and San Ramon Valley areas. The Burns' property is located on the banks of Walnut Creek channel. During the 1998 winter, high creek flows and high rainfall caused erosion to the creek bank. This erosion has not damaged the District's trunk sewer, however potential future erosion of the creek bank threatens the integrity of the pipeline. The property owners have approached the District about partiCipating in a bank stabilization project to protect their property as well as the District's sewer. The proposed project is to construct a gabion wall along the creek bank to stabilize the bank and prevent future erosion. Gabions are wire baskets (approximately 3 feet by 3 feet by 6 feet), filled with 6-inch rocks. The gabions are stacked together to create a wall. The estimated cost of this repair is $84,000. There has been no assertion by the Burns that the District's trunk sewer has caused or aggravated erosion of the creek bank. To preserve and protect this major trunk sewer, staff believes it is beneficial to participate with the Burns to stabilize the creek bank. Staff has negotiated an agreement with the property owners to share costs and responsibilities of the proposed gabion wall. Under the proposed agreement, the property owner will be responsible for design, construction, and maintenance of the gabion wall repair. Upon completion of the project, the District will pay for one-half of the project cost, estimated to be $42,000. The District will have 6/24/99 Page 1 of 3 U:\PPr\Raposa\Carmel Court.pp.wpd POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: [Mtg. Date] Subject: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH WILLIAM R. AND LANA J. BURNS RELATIVE TO CONSTRUCTION OF STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS AT 1232 CARMEL COURT, WALNUT CREEK, 1998 STORM DAMAGE REPAIR PROJECT, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5205 the right to review the design, approve selection of the contractor, and periodically inspect the construction of the gabion wall repair. Upon completion of the project, the property owner will own the gabion wall and will be responsible for ongoing maintenance. Staff has concluded that this Agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEOA Guidelines, Section 18.2(b), since it involves repairs and minor alterations to existing public sewer facilities. Approval of this agreement will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that this agreement is exempt from CEOA.

Burns, property owners of 1232 Carmel Court relative to construction of a gabion wall to repair storm damage, 1998 Storm Damage Repair Project, District Project No. 5205.

TREATMENT PLANT Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A NATURAL GAS PURCHASE AGREEMENT Submitted By: James L. Belcher Initiating Dept./Div. : Plant Operations/Maintenance NO RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: ~. #fft K. LAVERTY K/.f,\~ K. ALlvi ~ Charles W. Batts, General Manager ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is requested to enter into a natural gas purchase agreement. BACKGROUND: The District continues to use natural gas (NG) as fuel for the treatment plant cogeneration system and as backup fuel to landfill gas (LFG) used in the multiple-hearth furnaces (MHF) and the auxiliary steam boilers. The total projected FY 1999-2000 usage of NG for the treatment plant site is expected to be 425,000 decatherms (dth). The District currently purchases natural gas from Coral Energy Resources under a contract whose one-year term expires on June 30, 1999. The District exercised its option to continue on a month-to-month basis. The District plans to continue purchasing natural gas on a month-to-month basis, while evaluating when to commit to a longer-term contract. At the end of the current contract, the District was purchasing natural gas at $2.50/dth. The current one-year fixed price is now approximately $2.70 per dth. When OPEC raised oil prices on March 19, 1999, natural gas prices also increased and have remained high throughout the spring. The market now suggests that the cooler than normal summer and warmer than normal winter have led to a large gas inventory. The effect of this large inventory has recently led to a softening of the market for natural gas. It is anticipated that the prices for natural gas will continue to fall through late summer to potentially be as low as last year's contract price. Staff seeks the authority to enter into a purchase agreement when the overall natural gas price and contract term appear to be optimum for the District. More specifically, staff requests the authority to enter into a contract for natural gas of a term not to exceed one year, at a price not to exceed $ 2. 70/dth, and from a supplier with an 6/21/99 S:\Correspondence\POSPAPR\ 1999-00\nat gas pp.wpd Page 1 of 2 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: JULY 1, 1999 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A NATURAL GAS SALES AGREEMENT established, positive reputation. Staff further seeks to be able to exercise this authority at its discretion within the next six months without further Board action. Once a contract has been executed, staff will report back to the Board at the next available Board meeting with the terms and conditions. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to enter into a natural gas purchase agreement for an original term of one year or less at a price not to exceed $2.70/dth. 6/21/99 S:\Correspondence\POSPAPR\ 1999-00\nat gas pp. wpd Page 2 of 2 a: 0 u.
