ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT
SUBJECT
ACCEPT A GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM WILLIAM C. HERBERT AND ROXANA L. HERBERT FOR A
SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT AT 115 RUSSELL DRIVE, WALNUT CREEK, IN CONNECTION WITH THE
LAKEWOOD SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT, DP 4805
SUBMITTED BY
Ricardo Hernandez, Engineering Assistant
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Dept./Capital Projects Div.
ISSUE:
Board approval is required to accept Grants of Easements.
BACKGROUND:
During construction of the Lakewood Sewer Renovation Project, the existing pipeline segment through
the subject property had to be moved to a different location (see attached map). Relocation was needed
because the existing sewer could not be renovated in its original location. The new sewer is further
away from the existing house, closer to the rear property line, and thus in a more desirable location for
the owners.
The new easement was granted to the District at no charge per an agreement with the owners. The
District will in turn quitclaim the surplus portion of the old easement.
A Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Act (CECA) was filed for this project with the
Contra Costa County Clerk on December 2, 1994.
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept the Grant of Easement from William C. Herbert and Roxana L. Herbert and authorize staff to
record said Grant of Easement with the Contra Costa County Recorder.

SUBJECT
ACCEPT CONTRACT WORK FOR THE ORINDA CROSSROADS, MORAGA AND LOWER ORINDA
PUMPING STATIONS IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, PHASE II, DISTRICT PROJECT 4898, AND
AUTHORIZE THE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION
SUBMITTED BY
Ronald S. Klimczak, Senior Engineer
INITIATING DEPTJDIV
Engineering Department/Capital Projects Division
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the Orinda Crossroads, Moraga and Lower Orinda Pumping
Stations Improvements Project, Phase II, District Project 4898, and the work is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The District Pumping Stations Master Plan prepared in 1989 identified a need to renovate
the Orinda Crossroads, Lower Orinda and Moraga Pumping Stations. Adequate reliability and pumping
capacity were major concerns at these pumping stations, since they are located in East Bay Municipal
Utility District (EBMUD) drinking water watershed areas. The pumping stations have been in service for
40 years and lacked reliable pumping capacity and were considered vulnerable in the event of a major
earthquake.
This Phase II project is part of a long-term program to rehabilitate the District's existing pumping stations,
especially those in the East Bay Municipal Utility District's watershed areas. A phased approach is being
utilized to spread the capital costs of the improvements proposed in the program over a 1 0 to 1 2 year
period providing the ability to meet all regulatory and capacity requirements. The completion of Phase
II improvements is the subject of this position paper. The subsequent phases of the program will consist
of upgrading the electrical system; replacing the existing dry weather pumps with new, high efficiency
pumps; replacing dry weather pump discharge header piping; and other improvements identified as a
result of the analysis of the February 12, 1998 flooding incident at the Orinda Crossroads Pumping
Station.
At both the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations, the Phase II project included installation
of new diesel engines and pumps with new self-sufficient radiator cooling systems, new walled
enclosures for each emergency generator and radiator system, replacement of the existing diesel engine-
driven pumps, upgrading of instrumentation controls, new sump pumps, significant interior piping
modifications, new cranes, and landscaping. The force mains on pumping station property were replaced
to address previous force main failures (leaks) at both pumping stations. Seismic bracing of the critical

mechanical and electrical equipment occurred at all three pumping stations. Extensive seismic
strengthening of the Moraga Pumping Station building consisted of major bracing of the roof and walls.
A new emergency standby generator system was provided at the Lower Orinda Pumping Station. (See
Attachment 1 for project location.) Additional information can be found in the 1997-98 Capital
Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages CS-73 through CS-76.
The Board of Directors authorized award of a construction contract in the amount of $3,280,000 to
Monterey Mechanical Company of Oakland, California, on September 19, 1996. The contractor was
issued a Notice to Proceed, effective November 15, 1996, with an original contract completion date
of January 13, 1998. The contractor achieved substantial completion of the contract work on March
20, 1998 with the remaining work consisting of punch list items, which do not affect project
acceptance. Negotiations are in progress to address time extension issues associated with performing
additional contract work as well as the impact of an unusually wet weather season and the Orinda
Crossroads Pumping Station flooding incident.
It is appropriate to accept the contract work at this time. The total authorized budget for this project
is $5,104,000. An accounting of the project costs will be provided to the Board at the time of project
close out.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the construction of the Orinda Crossroads, Moraga
and Lower Orinda Pumping Stations Improvements, Phase II, Project, District Project 4898, and
authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion.

AUTHORIZE THE ATTENDANCE OF RICARDO HERNANDEZ, ENGINEERING ASSISTANT, AT THE
INTERNATIONAL RIGHT OF WAY ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL EDUCATION SEMINAR IN MINNEAPOLIS,
MINNESOTA, FROM JUNE 28 THROUGH JULY 2, 1998, AT A COST OF $1,500
SUBMITTED BY
Curtis W. Swanson, Principal Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Department/Environmental Services
Division
ISSUE: Specific approval by the Board of Directors is required for traveling outside of California or if the
expense will exceed $500 if the activity was not included in the current year Operations and Maintenance
Budget.
BACKGROUND: The International Right of Way Association's (IRWA) Annual Education Seminar is being
held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from June 28 through July 2, 1998. The International Right of Way
Association is a non-profit professional association with approximately 8,000 members in the United
States and Canada. Its membership includes appraisers, acquisition agents, engineers, environmentalists,
lawyers, property managers, relocation assistance agents, surveyors, and title experts. This year's
education seminar agenda includes many courses that address current District property rights issues.
Among these topics are "Outsourcing: Building the Right of Way Team of the Future," "Rebuilding
America's Infrastructure," "Utility Deregulation's Impact on Right of Way," "Competitive Utilities in Public
Right of Way," "Condemnation/Taking Issues," "Encroachment Litigation," and "Do's & Don'ts of
Acquiring Contaminated Properties."
Ricardo Hernandez, Engineering Assistant, in the Capital Projects Division (formerly in the Infrastructure
Division), has been a member of the IRW A for the past five years. Ricardo has negotiated and acquired
many easements for sanitary sewer, recycled water, and construction purposes and is currently managing
the acquisition of right of way for the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor and the future A-Line Relief
Interceptor.
This specific conference was not included in the 1997-98 budget. The decision to send Mr. Hernandez
to this seminar was made after the budget was prepared and after the agenda for the courses was
available. There are sufficient funds in the Infrastructure Division Training, Conference, and Meeting
budget to cover the cost of attendance at this conference.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize attendance of Ricardo Hernandez, Engineering Assistant, at the
International Right of Way Association's Annual Education Seminar from June 28 through July 2, 1998,
in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at a cost of $1,500.

(a) Each candidate for nonpartisan elective office in any local agency, including any
city, county, city and county or district, may prepare a candidate's statement on an
appropriate form provided by the clerk. The statement may include the name, age and
occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than 200 words, of the
candidate's education and qualifications expressed by the candidate himself or herself.
However, the governing body of the local agency may authorize an increase in the limitations
on words for the statement from 200 to 400 words. The statement shall not include the
party affiliation of the candidate, nor membership or activity in partisan political organizations.
The statement shall be filed in the office of the clerk when his or her nomination papers are
returned for filing, if it is for a primary election, or for an election for offices for which there
is no primary. The statement shall be filed in the office of the clerk no later than the 88th
day before the election, if it is for an election for which nomination papers are not required
to be filed. If a runoff election or general election occurs within 88 days of the primary or
first election, the statement shall be filed with the clerk by the third day following the
governing body's declaration of the results from the primary or first election. Except as
provided for in Section 13309, the statement may be withdrawn, but not changed, during
the period for filing nomination papers and until 5 p.m. of the next working day after the
close of the nomination period.
(b) The clerk shall send to each voter together with the sample ballot, a voter's
pamphlet which contains the written statements of each candidate that is prepared pursuant
to this section. The statement of each candidate shall be printed in type of uniform size and
darkness, and with uniform spacing. The clerk shall provide a Spanish translation to those
candidates who wish to have one, and shall select a person to provide that translation from
the list of approved Spanish language translators and interpreters of the superior court of the
county or from an institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
(c) The local agency may estimate the total cost of printing, handling, translating,
and mailing the candidate's statements filed pursuant to this section, including costs incurred
as a result of complying with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, and may require
each candidate filing a statement to pay in advance to the local agency his or her estimated
pro rata share as a condition of having his or her statement included in the voter's pamphlet.
In the event the estimated payment is required, the receipt for the payment shall include a
written notice that the estimate is just an approximation of the actual cost that varies from
one election to another election and may be significantly more or less than the estimate,
depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the clerk is not
bound by the estimate and may, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for additional actual
expense or refund any excess .paid depending on the final actual cost. In the event of
underpayment, the clerk may require the candidate to pay the balance of the cost incurred.
In the event of overpayment, the clerk shall prorate the excess amount among the candidates
and refund the excess amount paid within 30 days of the elect'on.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to make any such statement or the
authors thereof free or exempt from any civil or criminal action or penalty because of any
false, slanderous or libelous statements offered for printing or contained in the voter's
pamphlet.
(e) Before the nominating period opens, the local agency for that election shall
determine whether a charge shall be levied against that candidate for the candidate's
statement sent to each voter. This decision shall not be revoked or modified after the
seventh day prior to the opening of the nominating period. A written statement of the
regulations with respect to charges for handling, packaging, and mailing shall be provided
to each candidate or his or her representative at the time he or she picks up the nomination
papers.
(f) For purposes of this section, and Section 13310, the board of supervisors
shall be deemed the governing body of judicial elections.

WINDEMERE RANCH PARTNERS AND SHAPELL INDUSTRIES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR
REIMBURSEMENT OF PlANNING, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY RIGHTS ACQUISITION
COSTS FOR THE DOUGHERTY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWER PROJECT, DP 5902
SUBMITTED BY
Jarred Miyamoto-Mills, Principal Engineer
INI11AnNG DEPTIDIV
Engineering/Environmental Services
ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is required for agreements on capital improvement
projects when the amount is greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: On September 4, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the Specific Facilities Plan for
Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties, and determined that
construction of a new gravity tunnel and trunk sewer between the valley and CCCSD's existing Larwin
Pumping Station in San Ramon is the most appropriate means for extending service to the area. The
General Development Standards established by the Board's approval of the Specific Facilities Plan require
that 1) the District design and construct the tunnel and trunk sewer due to the special nature of the work
and the critical reliability criteria for the facilities, and 2) the planning, design, construction, and property
rights acquisition for the project be financed by the developers without financial risk to CCCSD's current
or future customers. Other items on today's agenda recommend that the Dougherty Tunnel and Trunk
Sewer Project proceed into the final deSign/property rights acquisition stage. District staff will direct and
manage these activities working with specialty geotechnical, tunnel and sewer design, and right-of-way
consultants.
Staff has negotiated an agreement with Windemere Ranch Partners (Windemere) and Shapell Industries
of Northern California (Shapell) for reimbursement of the District's past and future planning, design, and
property rights acquisition costs associated with the project, which are estimated to be $1,230,000 and
for Shapell to provide certain temporary and permanent property rights. A copy of the proposed
agreement was distributed to Board members under separate cover. The recommended agreement
includes the following terms and conditions:
· The District will plan, design, acquire property rights and construct the project. Windemere and
Shapell will be regularly informed of project status and their representatives will be included in

The Dougherty Tunnel and Trunk Sewer project is included in the 1997-98 Capital Improvement Budget
beginning at page CS-34. The current total project cost estimate for the tunnel and trunk sewer is
$16,630,000. Details of this estimate are presented in Attachment 1.
The environmental impacts of construction and operation of the tunnel and trunk sewer facilities were
addressed in the County's 1996 Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, Windemere _ Phase I and
Gale Ranch - Phase II (SCH# 96012003). The CCCSD Board of Directors reviewed this EIR during its
deliberations regarding annexation of the Windemere property in June 1997, and established its
independent finding that the environmental impacts of providing wastewater utility service can be
reduced to less-than-significant levels through implementation of the mitigation measures required of the
project by Contra Costa County.
RECOMMENDAnON: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute the proposed agreement
with Windemere Ranch Partners, and Shapell Industries of Northern California for reimbursement of
planning, design, property rights acquisition, and construction costs for the Dougherty Tunnel and Trunk
Sewer Project, DP 5902.

VERSION 11, FINAL DRAFT FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE CCCSD BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT
THEIR REGULAR MEETING, MAY 21, 1998.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT,
WINDEMERE RANCH PARTNERS, AND SHAPELL INDUSTRIES
OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR PLANNING, DESIGN,
PROPERTY RIGHTS ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF
THE DOUGHERTY VALLEY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWERS
This Agreement made and entered into this day of , 1998, by
and between CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT, a California special district,
hereinafter called "CCCSD;" and WINDEMERE RANCH PARTNERS, a California limited
partnership, hereinafter called "WRP," and Shapell Industries of Northern California, a
California corporation and a Division of Shapelllndustries, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
hereinafter called "Shapel!."
WITNESSETH:
A. WHEREAS, WRP and Shapell each plan to construct major residential and commercial
development projects in the south central Contra Costa County area known as
Dougherty Valley; and
B. WHEREAS, WRP's property in Dougherty Valley has been annexed to CCCSD for
wastewater utility service and Shapell's property in Dougherty Valley is within CCCSD's
Sphere of Influence; and
C. WHEREAS, CCCSD is responsible for determining the route and design capacity of
wastewater facilities serving property within its boundaries; and
D. WHEREAS, the CCCSD Board of Directors, on September 4, 1997, adopted the
Specific Facilities Plan for Wastewater Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary
Properties (the "Plan"), and determined that construction of a new gravity tunnel and
Page 1 of 14
trunk sewer between the Dougherty Valley and CCCSD's existing Larwin Pumping
Station in San Ramon, as shown on Exhibit 1, incorporated herein by reference, is the
most appropriate means by which the WRP development project, the Shapell
development project, and other nearby developments can be connected to the CCCSD
wastewater collection system, considering technical, environmental, and financial
issues; and
E. WHEREAS, the environmental effects of constructing and operating the tunnel and
trunk sewer were addressed in Contra Costa County's Subsequent Environmental
Impact Report for the WRP and Shapell development projects which was certified by
the county Board of Supervisors on November 19,1996; and
F. WHEREAS, CCCSD policy requires that the initial developer be financially responsible
for the planning, design, and construction of on-site and off-site public wastewater
facilities (induding the tunnel and trunk sewer) necessary to connect the development
project, and other tributary properties to an appropriate, existing facility within CCCSD's
wastewater collection system; and
G. WHEREAS, the tunnel and trunk sewer are wastewater facilities which will require
specialized construction methods and a high degree of reliability since they will be the
only means of wastewater conveyance between the substantial development planned
in and around the Dougherty Valley and CCCSD's existing wastewater collection
system; and
H. WHEREAS, property rights for construction, operation, and maintenance of the tunnel
and trunk sewers, including both temporary construction and permanent property rights,
must be acquired by CCCSD from other land owners including, but not limited to,
Shapell, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, and East Bay Municipal Utility District; and
I. WHEREAS, the proposed route for the sewer tunnel crosses Shapell's property; and
J. WHEREAS, the tunnel and trunk sewer facilities required to provide wastewater utility
service for the WRP, Shapell, and other nearby developments include those facilities
between and including the east portal of the tunnel and the proposed trunk sewerlwet
well junction structure at the District's Larwin Pumping Station in San Ramon, known as
the Dougherty Valley Tunnel and Trunk Sewer -- District Project No. 5902 (the
Page 2 of 14
"Project"), and the trunk sewer (induding a bridge or culvert and roadway embankment
crossing Alamo Creek) between the east portal of the tunnel and the WRP property (the
"Trunk Sewer Connection"), as generally shown and described in the Plan; and
K. WHEREAS, Shapell anticipates that it will seek wastewater utility service through
CCCSD for its Dougherty Valley development, and the Project is planned with the intent
and capacity to serve Shapell's development if Shapell's property is annexed to
CCCSD; and
L. WHEREAS, WRP and Shapell have reached an agreement concerning the allocation
of costs as between the two developers for the Project and concerning the property
rights across Shapell's property required for the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, CCCSD, WRP, and Shapell agree that the Project and Trunk Sewer
Connection shall be the means by which CCCSD wastewater utility service is extended to the
Dougherty Valley (induding the developments of WRP, Shapell, and others tributary to Project
facilities), and that this Agreement states responsibilities and activities regarding the Project
and Trunk Sewer Connection to be undertaken by CCCSD, WRP, and Shapell, all as set forth
herein.
1. The first entity, as between WRP and Shapell (induding successors and assigns), to
require wastewater utility service via the Project for development of any portion of the
currently undeveloped Dougherty Valley property shall be designated the "Installer."
2. CCCSD shall plan, design, acquire property rights for, and construct the Project to
ensure the reliability of the facilities. If WRP is the Installer, it shall design and construct
the Trunk Sewer Connection to meet CCCSD's requirements and specifications. If
Shapell is the Installer, Shapell shall design and construct the portion of the Trunk
Sewer Connection required for wastewater utility service to its currently undeveloped
Dougherty Valley property, and WRP shall design and construct that portion of the
Trunk Sewer Connection which has not yet been designed and constructed when WRP
requires wastewater utility service for its currently undeveloped Dougherty Valley
property.
3. CCCSD will assign a Project Manager and other appropriate staff to provide daily
direction, administration, and review of the planning, design and property rights
Page 3 of 14
acquisition work. CCCSD staff will keep WRP and Shapell informed of Project status
and implementation. Additionally, CCCSD will invite representatives of WRP and
Shapell to Project team meetings.
At appropriate stages of the design process, CCCSD will submit to WRP and Shapell
draft plans showing the proposed horizontal and vertical alignments of Project facilities
and design details. At each such stage, WRP and Shapell will review and confirm, in
writing within 14 days of receipt, that the Project facilities will be adequate to provide
gravity wastewater utility service to their development projects. Shapell also shall have
the right to review all design and construction plans for the portion of the Project to be
built on Shapell's property to confirm the plans minimize damage to Shapell's property
and interference with Shapell's intended development both during and after
construction; provided that Shapell's review shall be subject to the recognition that
Shapell has already approved the general configuration and general location of the
Project as described in the Plan. Such confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld.
4. CCCSD may use its own staff or contrad with qualified engineering and consulting firms
for design of the tunnel and trunk sewer and for property rights acquisition services.
CCCSD staff has recommended to the CCCSD Board of Directors that Woodward
Clyde Consultants be selected to design the tunnel pprtion of the Project, Brown and
Caldwell Engineers be selected to design the trunk sewer portion of the Project, and
Universal Field Services be selected as consultant for property rights acquisition.
CCCSD will administer payments to consultant(s).
5. All rights, title, royalties, and interest to all work products of CCCSD or its consultants
resulting from their performance under this Agreement, including easements and fee
title to real property acquired, drawings and specifications, data, reports, estimates,
opinions, recommendations, summaries, software, systems, networks, and other such
information and materials as may be accumulated by CCCSD or its consultants in
performing work under this Agreement, whether complete or in progress, shall be
vested in CCCSD. However, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude CCCSD, at its
sole discretion, from entering into a separate agreement with the Installer to allow for
construction of the Project, or portions of the Project, by the Installer. Under such an
agreement, CCCSD would provide for the Installer's use of all such work products as
are necessary for completion of the Project. CCCSD acknowledges that the Installer
shall not be precluded from bidding to perform such work, if the Installer is properly
Page 4 of 14
licensed and otherwise qualified pursuant to appropriate provisions of the California
Public Contracts Code and the bid specifications.
6. As presented in Exhibit 2, incorporated herein by reference, the Project cost estimate
for planning, design and property rights acquisition is $1,230,000. WRP will reimburse
CCCSD for one hundred percent (100%) of the actual cost of the planning and design
work, and property rights acquisition (the "Planning and Design Cosr) incurred by
CCCSD, pursuant to a work plan and budget approved in writing by WRP, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
If Shapell becomes the Installer, WRP will remain responsible to pay the Planning and
Design Cost up to an amount not to exceed $1,250,000 (the "Design Cap"), and Shapell
shall reimburse WRP for any Planning and Design Cost in excess of the Design Cap
which WRP has previously paid to CCCSD. Further, if Shapell becomes the Installer,
Shapell shall be responsible to pay for any Planning and Design Cost in excess of the
Design Cap.
CCCSD will manage the Project prudently and will promptly inform the Installer of
changes to the work plan and budget. The Installer shall have the right to approve any
such changes, which approval shall be conveyed in writing and shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.
7. Within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, WRP shall deliver to CCCSD a security
deposit in the amount of $250,000 to ensure that CCCSD is fully reimbursed each
month for the Planning and Design Cost incurred under this Agreement, and thereby
assure that CCCSD's customers assume no financial responsibility for the Project.
WRP may elect to provide either a payment bond, irrevocable letter of credit, escrow
agreement, or a cash deposit as the security deposit. Any alternative security deposit
in lieu of cash shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to CCCSD.
In addition, within 30 days of its receipt of an appropriately detailed invoice from
CCCSD, WRP shall pay to CCCSD, $234,698 in cash or by check for reimbursement
of CCCSD's costs of planning, design, and property rights acquisition work charged to
the Project through March 31, 1998, which amount is a portion of the $1,230,000
estimate of Planning and Design Cost.
Page 5 of 14
8. Beginning June 1, 1998, and monthly thereafter until the completion of the work
covered under this Agreement, CCCSD will bill WRP for the cost of work charged to the
Project after March 31, 1998, which has not previously been paid by WRP. WRP shall
remit payment on each invoice within 30 days of its receipt of the invoice. If, prior to
completion of planning and design for the Project, Shapell becomes the Installer,
CCCSD will invoice Shapell directly for any Planning and Design Cost in excess of the
Design Cap which has not previously been paid by WRP or Shapell, which invoices
Shapell shall pay within 30 days of its receipt of each invoice.
9. Except as specifically addressed in this Agreement, the party paying such costs shall
be entitled to apply for reimbursement of the Planning and Design Cost, and
construction costs that the Installer is obligated to pay under any subsequent
agreement(s), from other developers or property owners whose properties also would
be served by the Project and the Trunk Sewer Connection through application of
CCCSD's established provisions for reimbursements pursuant to CCCSD Code,
Chapter 6.20 Reimbursement Fees, or other District reimbursement policies, or
applicable provisions of California law, not inconsistent with CCCSD's reimbursement
policies. However, nothing herein will prevent the Installer from entering into separate
agreements among the other developers or property owners which may waive or
reallocate rebates or reimbursements.
10. If WRP is the Installer, Shapell agrees to dedicate to CCCSD, at no cost to CCCSD or
to WRP except as specified in this Agreement, all permanent and temporary property
rights over its property necessary for design, construction, and future operation of the
Project and the Trunk Sewer Connection, subject to Shapell's review and reasonable
right of approval as to the extent of such property rights and the horizontal and vertical
alignments of Project and Trunk Sewer Connection facilities as set forth in Paragraph
3 above. The property rights shall be dedicated when and as required by CCCSD for
Project and Trunk Sewer Connection development and operation, so long as the
dedication of property rights by Shapell hereunder doses prior to or simultaneously with
CCCSD receiving irrevocable deposits or other satisfactory commitments of funds
adequate for construction of the Project and Trunk Sewer Connection. All property
rights shall be subject to CCCSD's duty to use them in a prudent and reasonable
manner so as to minimize injury to Shapell's property and any improvements thereon
and to minimize the extent and duration of disruption and inconvenience suffered by
Shapell or the occupants of Shapell's property. If WRP is the Installer, WRP shall pay,
Page 6 of 14
subject to reimbursement (except from Shapell) and other provisions of this Agreement,
the cost of the Project and the Trunk Sewer Connection, and none of such costs
(including the Planning and Design Cost) will be payable by Shapell or any successor
for either Shapell's Dougherty Valley property or Wendt Ranch property.
11. If Shape II is the Installer, then Shapell shall initially incur the construction-related
cost of the Project and that portion of the Trunk Sewer Connection required for
wastewater utility service to its currently undeveloped Dougherty Valley property,
and will be entitled to reimbursement from WRP for 53 percent of all of Shapell's
construction-related costs of the Project and the Trunk Sewer Connection (but not
the Planning and Design Cost). Such reimbursement shall be paid on a per unit
basis. The per unit reimbursement will initially be calculated by spreading the
reimbursement over 3,995 WRP units; provided, if at any time WRP or its
successor(s) is entitled to construct units in excess of 3,995 units, the per unit
reimbursement will be recalculated based on such greater number of units. Such
per unit reimbursement, as initially calculated or subsequently recalculated, is
hereinafter called the "WRP/Shapell Reimbursement."
If Shapell is the Installer, it will be entitled to apply for reimbursement from WRP
under CCCSD's applicable reimbursement regulations for its costs of the Project
and the Trunk Sewer Connection which are eligible for reimbursement under such
reimbursement regulations, which reimbursement shall be collected and
administered by CCCSD pursuant to its applicable reimbursement regulations in
effect from time to time; provided, no modification or termination of CCCSD's
reimbursement regulations or other failure by CCCSD to collect reimbursement
owed Shapell by WRP shall negate or alter WRP's obligation to reimburse Shapell
the full amount of the WRP/Shapell Reimbursement specified in this Paragraph.
In the event that the amount of the CCCSD per unit reimbursement fee adopted by
the CCCSD Board of Directors is less than the amount of the WRP/Shapell
Reimbursement specified above, or CCCSD ceases to collect reimbursement fees
from WRP, whether because the time limit for such reimbursement collection
specified in CCCSD's regulations has expired, CCCSD no longer administers
reimbursement collection, or for any other reason, then reimbursement of any
difference between CCCSD's applicable per unit reimbursement fee and the
WRP/Shapell Reimbursement specified above shall be payable by WRP or its
Page 7 of 14
successor(s) to Shapell on a per unit basis at the time a building permit is obtained
for each unit, and shall be paid directly to Shapel!. Nothing in this Paragraph shall
preclude Shapell or WRP from seeking reimbursement from other developers or
property owners for their share of Shapell's or WRP's costs, as stated in Paragraph
9, and WRP acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement may result in WRP's
per unit reimbursement amount differing from that of other contributors under
CCCSD's regulations, which difference WRP agrees is justified under the
circumstances. Shapell shall not be entitled to any reimbursement from WRP for
the value of any permanent or temporary property rights over Shapell's property
necessary for the Project or the Trunk Sewer Connection, and in return WRP
agrees that it shall not receive any share of the reimbursements Shapell may
receive from other developers or property owners.
12. In the event that CCCSD determines that the route for the Project and/or the Trunk
Sewer Connection across Shapell's property as shown in the Plan is not feasible, or for
any other reason CCCSD desires to construct the Project and/or the Trunk Sewer
Connection along another alignment across Shapell's property, this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect subject to Shapell's reasonable right of approval as to that
alternative alignment.
13. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as a commitment by Shapell to apply for
annexation of any of its property to CCCSD or to annex to CCCSD. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be interpreted as a commitment by CCCSD to approve such
annexation in contravention of CCCSD's ordinances, regulations, or statutory
obligations regarding consideration of annexation applications.
14. The parties hereto agree that prior to CCCSD's advertisement soliciting bids for
construction of the Project, CCCSD and the Installer shall negotiate and, subject to a
reasonable right of review by WRP or Shapell (whichever is not the Installer) for
protection of its rights under this Agreement, execute a financing arrangement for
construction of the Project such that current and future CCCSD customers and Shapell
and its successors will have no financial responsibility for the cost of the Project except
as contemplated in this Agreement. Ownership of Project facilities shall vest in CCCSD
which will be responsible for operation and maintenance of such facilities.
Page 8 of 14
15. In the event that the Project does not proceed to the construction phase as a result of
failure of the parties to negotiate and execute a financing arrangement, CCCSD shall
have no obligation to refund any Planning and Design Costs to WRP or Shapel!.
However, if the Project is not built for any reason, CCCSD shall quitclaim to Shapell any
property rights over Shapell's property previously conveyed to CCCSD for the Project
or the Trunk Sewer Connection, and shall refund to WRP or Shapell, as appropriate,
any monies derived from the disposition of other property rights obtained by CCCSD
for the Project or Trunk Sewer Connection, and the portion of WRP's security deposit
not required to satisfy Planning and Design Costs for which payment may become due
under this Agreement.
16. Nothing in this Agreement, including either payments made to CCCSD by WRP, or
contribution of property rights by Shapell to CCCSD under this Agreement shall alter the
obligations of WRP and Shapell to comply with the requirements of CCCSD's Code,
policies, ordinances, rules and regulations, and to pay all applicable fees and charges
for plan review, annexation, pennitting, inspection, capacity, pumping, sewer service,
or other purpose, as become due under current or future CCCSD policies, ordinances,
rules and regulations, except regarding the allocation of Project and Trunk Sewer
Connection costs as between WRP and Shapell pursuant to this Agreement.
17. The parties hereto agree that time is of the essence in completing the work identified
in this Agreement and to immediately proceed diligently with their respective duties as
set forth herein so that the work will be completed satisfactorily within the shortest
reasonable time. A tentative Project schedule is presented in Exhibit 3, incorporated
herein by reference. CCCSD will provide WRP and Shapell with written notification of
any modifications to the Project schedule consequent to the perfonnance of the
planning, design, and property rights acquisition work under this Agreement.
18. Any failure by a party to perfonn any tenn or provision of this Agreement, which failure
continues uncured for a period of 30 days following written notice of such failure from
the party to whom performance is due (unless such period is extended by written mutual
consent), shall constitute a default under this Agreement. Any notice given pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall specify the nature of the alleged failure and, where
appropriate, the manner in which such alleged failure may satisfactorily be cured. Upon
receipt of any notice of default, the parties to this Agreement shall immediately meet
and confer in order to make a good faith effort to allow for any default to be cured prior
Page 9 of 14
to the expiration of the cure period. Except in the event of failure to pay money when
due under the terms of this Agreement, if the nature of the alleged failure is such that
it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-clay period, then commencement of the
cure within such time period, and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure
thereafter, shall be deemed to be a cure within such 3O-clay period.
If the alleged failure is cured, then no default shall exist and the noticing party shall take
no further action. If the alleged failure is not cured, then a default shall exist under this
Agreement and the non-defaulting party may exercise any of the remedies available to
it under law or equity, which remedies the parties acknowledge shall include a right to
terminate this Agreement. The provision of notice and opportunity to cure shall be a
prerequisite to the enforcement or correction of any default. Upon termination, CCCSD
shall receive from WRP or Shapell, as the case may be, payment for all amounts due
and not previously paid to CCCSD for work completed or in progress in accordance with
the Agreement prior to such date of termination and for any other reasonable cost
incidental to such termination. As CCCSD will be billing in arrears for the cost of work
performed under this Agreement, WRP and/or Shapell, as the case may be, will not be
entitled to any refund of payments made to CCCSD if termination occurs, except for the
portion of WRP's security deposit not required to satisfy WRP's obligations under this
Agreement.
19. The prevailing party in any arbitration or lawsuit brought to interpret or enforce the terms
of this Agreement, or in any claims whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising directly
or indirectly out of this Agreement or its performance, shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable costs and attorneys' fees from the other party or parties, and the court or
arbitrator shall award such attorneys' fees as an element of costs. For purposes of this
provision, "prevailing party" shall include a party which dismisses an action for recovery
hereunder in exchange for payment of the sum allegedly due, performance of
covenants allegedly breached, or consideration substantially equal to the relief sought
in the action or proceeding. "Prevailing party" shall not include any party who refuses
an offer of compromise prior to ten (10) days before trial or arbitration of the matter, and
fails to receive an award more favorable than the terms and conditions set forth in the
offer of compromise, either in the amount of damages awarded or the type of relief
granted.

20. All notices to any of the parties by another party shall be made in writing and delivered
or mailed to such party/parties at their respective addresses as follows, or to other such
address as the parties may designate, and said notices shall be deemed to have been
made when delivered or five (5) days after mailing.

TUNNEL PORTION OF THE DOUGHERTY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWER PROJECT, DP 5902
SUBMITTED BY
Curtis W. Swanson, Principal Engineer
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Engineering/Environmental Services
ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute
professional service agreements for amounts greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: In June 1997, the District annexed the eastern half of the Dougherty Valley (Windemere
Ranch). On September 4, 1997, the Board of Directors approved the Specific Facilities Plan for Wastewater
Utility Service to Dougherty Valley and Tributary Properties and determined that construction of a new gravity
tunnel and trunk sewer between the valley and the District's existing San Ramon Pumping Station is the most
appropriate means for extending service to the area. The General Development Standards established by the
Board's approval of the Specific Facilities Plan require that 1) the District design and construct the tunnel and
trunk sewer due to the special nature of the work and the critical reliability criteria for the facilities, and 2) the
design, construction, and property rights acquisition for the project be financed by the developers without
financial risk to the District's current or future customers.
Staff recommends that a professional engineering consultant be engaged to perform design of the tunnel
because of the size and special nature of the project. A Request for Proposal was sent to four engineering
firms specializing in tunnel design and geotechnical engineering. Three proposals were received which included
all four firms. The proposals were reviewed, and the project teams were interviewed by a panel consisting
of District engineering staff and Mr. Dan Coleman of Windemere Ranch Partners. The three proposals were
from Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Jacobs Associates, and Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas, Inc,
with Haley and Aldrich. The review panel recommends that Woodward-Clyde Consultants be selected to
provide tunnel design services.
Woodward-Clyde Consultants will provide preliminary and final design services for the Dougherty Tunnel. In
addition, Woodward-Clyde will provide geotechnical engineering services for the downstream trunk sewer and
improvements to the Larwin Pumping Station in San Ramon. Design of the trunk sewer and pumping station
improvements will be accomplished by another engineering consultant(s). (See following agenda item.)

AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH
WOODWARD-CLYDE CONSULTANTS TO PROVIDE PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE
TUNNEL PORTION OF THE DOUGHERTY TUNNEL AND TRUNK SEWER PROJECT, DP 5902
Staff and Woodward-Clyde have negotiated a cost-reimbursement agreement for the work with a cost ceiling
of $530,000. The tunnel and trunk sewer project is included in the 1997-98 Capital Improvement Budget
starting on page CS-34. The current total project cost estimate for both project elements is approximately
$16.6 million. The cost of planning, design, and construction of the Dougherty Tunnel and Trunk Sewer will
be reimbursed by the developers of Dougherty Valley. Project costs will be reimbursed initially by Windemere
Ranch Partners. Windemere may receive rebates from other developers as future tributary developments are
constructed in the area. The terms and conditions of reimbursement of the project costs will be in accordance
with an agreement between Windemere Ranch Partners and the District (see previous agenda item).
The environmental impacts of construction and operation of the tunnel and trunk sewer facilities were
addressed in Contra Costa County's 1996 Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, Windemere - Phase I
and Gale Ranch - Phase II (SCH# 96012003). The District's Board of Directors reviewed this Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) during its deliberations regarding annexation of the Windemere property in June 1997 and
established its independent finding that the environmental impacts of providing wastewater utility service can
be reduced to less than significant levels through implementation of the mitigation measures required of the
project by Contra Costa County.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute an agreement with Woodward-
Clyde Consultants with a cost ceiling of $530,000 to provide tunnel design and geotechnical engineering
services for the Dougherty Tunnel Project, DP 5902.

Proposal (RFP) was distributed to eight engineering firms. Four firms submitted written proposals. The
proposals were reviewed, and the project teams were inteNiewed by a panel consisting of District engineering
staff and Mr. Robert Gresens of Dublin San Ramon SeNices District. The four firms responding to the RFP
were Brown and Caldwell (B & C), Montgomery Watson, G. S. Dodson and Associates (GSD), and HDR
Engineering, Inc. The review panel recommends that B & C be selected to provide preliminary and final design
seNices for the Dougherty trunk sewer and near-term improvements to the San Ramon Pumping Station.
Staff and B&C have negotiated a cost-reimbursement agreement for the trunk sewer design with a cost ceiling
of $168,200. The tunnel and trunk sewer project is included in the 1997-98 CIB starting on page CS-34.

Engineering/Planning
ISSUE: The Board of Directors desires to inform ratepayers regarding the District's position on
A-oposition 224: the Government Cost Savings And Taxpayer A-otection Amendment appearing on
the June, 1998 ballot.
BACKGROUND: At its April 16, 1998 meeting, the Board of Directors discussed the merits of
Proposition 224. This discussion occurred in response to a letter from Mr. Edwin M. Hultgren,
President of the East Bay Chapter of Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California,
requesting opposition to A-oposition 224.
As discussed, A-oposition 224 would amend the California Constitution to require that certain local
agency contracts, including engineering and design contracts involving expenditure of state funds, be
referred to the State Controller to determine whether the contract shall be performed by state civil
service employees or awarded through a competitive bidding process.
Following consideration of the issue, a majority of the Board of Directors voted to inform District
ratepayers of the impact A-oposition 224 would have on the cost, quality, and scheduling of District
capital projects. In response, staff has prepared the attached resolution. At the last Board meeting,
decision on the draft resolution was held for two weeks pending further review of the information on
A-oposition 224. Member Boneysteele has provided additional information as shown in Attachment
III.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution informing ratepayers regarding the District's
position on Proposition 224: the Government Cost Savings And Taxpayer A-otection Amendment.

RESOLUTION NO. 98-
RESOLUTION ON PROPOSITION 224: THE GOVERNMENT COST
SAVINGS AND TAXPAYER PROTECTION AMENDMENT
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is
authorized to contract for engineering and design services required by the District in
accordance with Government Code Section 4526, pursuant to which the District engages
in an extensive qualifications review process to select a firm having the best combination
of skills to perform the work at a competitive price; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 224, the Government Cost Savings and Taxpayer Protection
Amendment, that has been placed on the June, 1998 ballot, would amend the California
Constitution to require that certain local agency contracts, including engineering and
design contracts involving expenditure of state funds, be referred to the State Controller
to determine whether the contract shall be performed by state civil service employees or
awarded through a competitive bidding process; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 224 would thus require local public entities to delay projects
until the State Controller has acted, and then to either use state employees to perform
engineering and design contracts or to award such contracts through a competitive bidding
process, as opposed to the qualifications-based selection criteria currently employed; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 224 would thereby create potentially long delays for vital
local projects, dilute the ability of local government to manage, supervise, and secure
accountability with respect to the performance of local projects and would deny local
government the essential flexibility to contract with firms most qualified to perform the
work on time and cost effectively; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that the provIsions of the
Government Cost Savings and Taxpayer Protection Amendment are not in the best
interests of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and its customers; and
WHEREAS, the decision of the Board of Directors on Proposition 224 reflects the
position of the Board and is intended to provide balanced information to inform the
ratepayers regarding Proposition 224.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of Central Contra
Costa Sanitary District position on the Government Cost Savings and Taxpayer Protection
Amendment addresses the concerns for cost, quality and potential delay of capital
projects; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary is authorized to provide a copy of
this resolution upon request to persons or organizations to the extent permitted by state
law.

Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Proposition 224 - Full Text of the Proposed Law
This initiative measure is submitted to the people in accordance with the provisions of
Article II, Section 8 of the Constitution.
This initiative measure expressly amends the Constitution by adding a section thereto;
therefore, new provisions proposed to be added are printed in italic type to indicate that
they are new.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE VII
SECTION 1. TITLE
This measure shall be known and may be cited as the Government Cost Savings and
Taxpayer Protection Amendment.
SECTION 2. PURPOSE AND INTENT
It is the intent of the People of the State of California in enacting this measure that
engineering, architectural, and similar services provided by the State and certain other
entities be furnished at the lowest cost to taxpayers, consistent with quality, health, safety,
and the public interest; that contracts for such services be awarded through a competitive
bidding process, free of undue political influence; and that contractors be held fully
responsible for the performance of their contracts.
SECTION 3. REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTS FOR ENGINEERING,
ARCHITECTURAL, AND SIMILAR SERVICES
Section 12 is added to Article VII of the Constitution, to read:
SEe. 12. (a) This section shall apply to contracts for engineering, architectural, landscape
architectural, surveying, environmental, or engineering geology services awarded by the
State of California or by any state agency to any public or private entity. As used in this
. section, "state agency" means every state office, officer, agency, department, division,
bureau, board, and commission but does not include the University of California, the
California State University and Colleges, and local public entities. "State agency" also
includes a state agency acting jointly with another state agency or with a local public entity.
As used in this section, ''local public entity" means any city, county, city and county,
including a chartered city or county, public or municipal corporation, school district, special
district, authority, or other public entity formed for the local performance of governmental
and proprietary functions within limited boundaries. "Local public entity" also includes two
or more local public entities acting jointly.
(b) This section shall also apply to contracts for services specified in subdivision (a)
awarded by private entities or local public entities when the contract awarded by the public
or private entity involves expenditure of state funds or involves a program, project, facility,
or public work for which the State or any state agency has or will have ownership, liability,

or responsibility for construction, operation, or maintenance. As used in this section, "state
funds" means all money appropriated by the Legislature for expenditure by the State or a
state agency and all money included in special funds that the State or a state agency
controls.
(c) Prior to the award of any contract covered by this section, the Controller shall prepare
and verify an analysis of the cost of performing the work using state civil service
employees and the cost of the contract. In comparing costs, the cost of performing the
work using state civil service employees shall include only the additional direct costs to the
State to provide the same services as the contractor, and the cost of the contract shall
include all anticipated contract costs and all costs to be incurred by the State, state
agencies, and the contracting entity for the bidding, evaluation, and contract award
process and for inspecting, supervising, verifying, monitoring, and overseeing the contract.
(d) The contract shall not be awarded if either of the following conditions is met: (1) the
Controller's analysis concludes that state civil service employees can perform the work at
less cost than the cost of the contract, unless the services are of such an urgent nature
that public interest, health, or safety requires award of the contract; or (2) the Controller or
the contracting entity concludes that the contract would not be in the public interest, would
have an adverse impact on public health or safety, or would result in lower quality work
than if state civil service employees performed the services.
(e) Except for contracts for which a delay resulting from the competitive bidding process
would endanger public health or safety, every contract, including amendments, covered by
this section that exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), adjusted annually to reflect
changes in the appropriate consumer price index as determined by the Controller, shall be
awarded through a publicized competitive bidding process involving sealed bids. Each
contract shall be awarded to the lowest qualified bidder. If the contract cost based on the
lowest qualified bid exceeds the anticipated contract costs the Controller estimated
pursuant to subdivision (c), the Controller shall prepare and verify a revised analysis using
the contract bid cost, and that revised analysis shall be used in applying subdivision (d).

STATE-FUNDED DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES.
INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
· Prohibits contracting where performance of work by civil service employees is less
costly unless urgent need for contract.
· Prohibits contracts which Controller or awarding agency determines are against
public interest, health, safety or where quality of work would be lower than civil
service work.
· Contractors must indemnify state in suits related to performance of contracts.
· Requires defined competitive bidding of state-funded design and engineering
contracts over $50,000, unless delay from bidding would endanger public health or
safety.
· Provisions severable and should be harmonized with similar measures on subject.
Summary of legislative Analyst's
Estimate of Net State and local Government Fiscal Impact:
· Unknown impact on state and local government costs to obtain construction-related
services. Impact would depend largely on factors included in the cost comparison
analyses required by the proposition.
· Administrative costs to the State Controller--one-time costs of probably less than
$500,000 and annual costs of up to $2 million.

I Text of Proposed Law I Proposition 2241 Aroument in Favor I
State-Funded Design and Engineering Services.
Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Analysis by the Legislative Analyst
Background
Under California law, services provided by state agencies generally must be performed by
state civil service employees. These services cover a broad range of activities--such as
clerical support, building maintenance and security, and legal services. In some cases,
however, the state may contract with private firms to obtain services. Such contracting is
allowed, for example, if services needed by the state are: (1) of a temporary nature, (2) not
available within the civil service, or (3) of a highly specialized or technical nature. Unlike
the state, local governments are not subject to constitutional restrictions on contracting for
services.
The state and local governments frequently contract with private firms for
construction-related services, which include architecture, engineering, and environmental
impact studies. State and local governments enter into these contracts through a process
of advertising for the service, selecting the firm that is determined to be best qualified, and
negotiating a contract with that firm. Neither the state nor local governments competitively
bid for these services. By comparison, competitive bidding generally is used to acquire
goods and for construction of projects.
Proposal
This proposition, a constitutional amendment, requires public entities to use a new process
prior to awarding a contract for the following construction-related services: engineering,
architecture, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental studies, and geologic
studies. (The proposition would not affect contracting out for other types of services.) The
new process would apply to: . .:.
All state agencies, except the University of California and the California State
University.
Many local governments and private entities (see below).
.. .~
. .
What Is Involved in This New Contracting Process?
The Cost Comparison. Under the process established by the proposition, the State
Controller would be required to prepare an analysis for each proposed contract and
compare the following:
The cost of contracting with a private firm for the services. This would include the
anticipated amount a private firm would charge to provide the services plus the cost
to bid, award, administer, and monitor the contract.
The "additional direct costs" if state employees provide the same services.

;:'A. Secretary of State - Primary98 - Analysis o~~ - - -. -')sition 224
http://Primary98.ss.~'JVoterGuide/PropositionsI224analysis.htm
~i...
Generally, the service could be contracted out if the Controller's analysis indicated that the
contract was less costly than using state employees. On the other hand, the work would
have to be done by state employees if the analysis showed they could do it at lower cost.
Competitive Bidding. As noted earlier, public entities currently negotiate contract terms
for construction-related services. This proposition requires that such contracts costing
more than $50,000 be competitively bid to select the lowest qualified bidder. Competitive
bidding would not have to be used if it would delay a project and the delay would endanger
public health or safety.
What Contracts Are Covered Under the Proposition?
Direct Contracting by the State. State agencies would have to use this new process if
they wanted to contract for construction-related services. In recent years, state agencies
have averaged about $150 million annually in spending on these types of contracts. This
amount varies annually depending on the state's level of construction activity.
Contracts Awarded by Local Governments and Private Entities. Local governments
and private entities would also have to use this new process in the following situations:
State Funding of Services for Local Government or Private Projects.
Historically, the state has provided significant funding to local governments for
various types offacilities--K-12 schools, local roads, community colleges, jails, and
parks. Under the proposition, a local government would have to use the new process
if it uses state funds to pay a private firm for any part of a construction-related
service.
State Ownership, Liability, or Responsibility for a Project. In many cases, the
state assumes ownership, liability, or responsibility for construction, operation, or
maintenance of a local project. This is the case, for example, with regard to the
building of K-12 and community college buildings and many locally funded highway
projects.
Fiscal Effect
The potential fiscal effects of this proposition on the state and local governments are
discussed below.
Impact on the Cost of Providing Services
The fiscal impact would depend in large part on the determination of which cost factors to
use in comparing the cost of contracting out a service with the "additional direct cost" of
the state providing the service. The cost of contracting for a service would be determined
from the bid submitted by the private firm. On the other hand, because the term "additional
direct costs" is not defined in the proposition, the Controller would have to determine which
cost factors associated with using state employees should be included in order to prepare
the required analyses.
What Are "Additional Direct Costs?" Because the proposition does not define
"additional direct cost" there is not a clear answer to this question. Figure 1 lists some of
the cost factors the Controller would need to review to determine if they should be counted
as additional direct costs.
Cost Analysis on Contract-by-Contract Basis. A cost analysis would be required on
each individual contract basis. Thus, a cost analysis may not reflect the accumulation of

''-
administrative costs if the state workforce increases to meet workload demand. For
example, additional clerical and managerial positions or additional office space for state
employees may not be needed for anyone contract, but could be needed if work on many
projects were assigned to state employees rather than private firms.
Fiscal Effect Depends on Cost Comparisons. The impact of the proposition on state
and local costs would depend on the extent to which the cost analyses include all state
costs associated with providing these services using state employees. For example:
If more of the costs associated with using state employees are included in the
analyses, it is more likely that they would provide an "apples-to-apples" comparison
of total costs. In this case, the proposition could result in savings. This is because
public entities would no longer contract in situations where it is more costly. These
savings, however, probably would not be significant.
On the other hand, if fewer of the state's costs are counted as "additional direct
costs," the analyses would not reflect a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of total
costs. In this case, the proposition could result in costs. This is because state
employees would be used to perform work where contracting would have been less
costly.
Because of the uncertainties discussed above, it is difficult to predict the fiscal effect of this
proposition. However, a strict interpretation of additional direct costs (for example, only
those identified in Figure 1 as "likely to be counted") could result in significant costs to
state and local governments.
Figure 1
What Cost Factors Might Be Counted As "Additional Direct Costs?"
Cost Factors Likely to Be Counted
Salaries and benefits of additional state employees needed to perform a service.
Office space, furniture, equipment, and travel expenses for the additional
employees.
Cost Factors Likely Not to Be Counted
State agency overhead costs ("top management").
Other state agency overhead costs--such as payroll, accounting, and personnel
functions.
Mayor May Not Be Counted
Hiring and training costs for any additional state employees needed to perform a
service.
Increased construction costs due to project delays caused by time needed to hire
and train additional state employees.
Costs of maintaining excess state staff if workload declines.
Other Fiscal Impacts
The proposition would have other fiscal effects on the state and local governments. For
instance, the Controller would have costs to perform the required cost analyses. These

costs would depend on the number of requests from state agencies and local
governments. We estimate the Controller would have both one-time costs of probably less
than $500,000 and ongoing costs of up to $2 million annually.
The proposition would affect the state and local governments in other ways. For example,
it would take time to develop and implement the new process for evaluating contracts. This
would lead to one-time delays in certain public sector construction projects, resulting in
possible added inflation-related costs for those projects.

Argument in Favor of Proposition 224
Vote YES on:
COMPETITIVE BIDDING
CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY
COST SAVINGS through COST COMPARISONS
Improved SAFETY of our state freeways and bridges
STOP POLITICAL FAVORITISM AND WASTE
Proposition 224, the "Competitive Bidding Initiative," ends the politicians' practice of giving
huge, overpriced, no-bid state engineering contracts to their campaign contributors. By
requiring competitive bidding from qualified contractors and holding contractors
responsible and financially liable for their own mistakes, it will improve the safety of our
freeways, bridges, and other public works. By requiring a cost analysis before contracts
are awarded, it ensures that taxpayers get the best value for their dollar. Fair, objective
competitive bidding will break the link between campaign contributions and state politicians
who give overpriced, no-bid contracts to their contributors.
"Private contractors receive millions of dollars in work without competition. Reforms are
needed to protect the public interest. "--State Auditor Kurt Sjoberg
"No-bid contracts are always suspect. It-Contra Costa Times
Although state highway and freeway construction contracts are competitively bid, contracts
for construction inspection, design, and other services aren't. Instead, Sacramento
politicians simply give out these contracts, to their campaign contributors, at twice what
they should cost. Proposition 224 ends this political spoils system by requiring competitive
bidding.
END THE WASTE OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS
Official government documents prove that more than half a billion dollars has been wasted
since 1990 on excessive costs of no-bid contracts under the current system. When
contractors walk away' from their inferior work, the taxpayers get stuck with the bill for
doing it over and repairing the mistakes. Proposition 224 requires impartial cost analyses
to prove cost effectiveness before contracts are awarded, followed by competitive bidding
and contractor responsibility to ensure that tax dollars are spent wisely.
IMPROVE HIGHWAY SAFETY
"Proposition 224 will mean safer highways for all of us. "--Dan Terry, President, California
Professional Firefighters
No-bid contracts contributed to corruption and street collapses in Los Angeles, thousands
of defects in San Diego bridges, and higher tolls in the Bay Area. While money was being

strengthening of our freeway bridges was delayed. As a result, bridges which hadn't been
strengthened collapsed in earthquakes. Proposition 224 improves highway safety by
awarding contracts only to qualified firms through competitive bidding and holding
contractors responsible and financially liable for their own mistakes.
"The ultimate responsibility for faulty workmanship has to be on the part of the contractors
hired to do the job. They, not taxpayers, should foot the bill for redoing the work. "-San
Diego Union-Tribune
The politicians even allowed a contractor to hire its own inspectors, resulting in more than
10,000 defective welds on a bridge strengthening project!

surprised when the chickens get eaten. "-San Diego Union- Tribune

The STATE BUREAUCRATS BEHIND PROPOSITION 224 and their political cronies are
trying to deceive you.
Ask yourself: Would a state bureaucrats group (mostly Caltrans employees) really spend
millions of dollars on a ballot measure to protect YOUR interests? Not likely.
-Will Proposition 224 save taxpayers money? No. Proposition 224 SHIFTS PRIVATE
SECTOR JOBS TO the PUBLIC PAYROLL. BIGGER GOVERNMENT. HIGHER TAXES.
That's why the CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION and other MAJOR TAXPAYER
GROUPS OPPOSE IT.
-Will it make bidding more competitive? No. Talk about the ULTIMATE DECEPTION!
DISGUISED as "competitive bidding," Proposition 224 RIGS the SYSTEM to PROTECT
STATE BUREAUCRATS AGAINST COMPETITION from the private sector by virtually
PROHIBITING STATE and LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM CONTRACTING OUT
design, engineering and environmental work.
-Will it save lives? No. It virtually ELIMINATES the USE of PRIVATE SEISMIC EXPERTS,
DELAYING and COMPROMISING ALREADY OVERDUE EARTHQUAKE
RETROFITTING of HIGHWAYS, SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.
"Proposition 224 will also delay construction of additional classrooms needed to reduce
class sizes and accommodate the growth in student population. " --California State PT A
-Will it increase accountability? No. Proposition 224 LETS STATE BUREAUCRATS OFF
THE HOOK! Current law already holds private contractors fully liable for their mistakes.
Proposition 224 could also hold them responsible for DANGEROUS HIGHWAY AND
BRIDGE DESIGN MISTAKES MADE BY GAL TRANS EMPLOYEES (the bureaucrats
promoting this deceptive initiative).
BIGGER GOVERNMENT.

Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Argument against Proposition 224
BEWARE: Proposition 224 is NOT what it pretends to be. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
That's why EARTHQUAKE SAFETY EXPERTS, CITIES, COUNTIES, SCHOOL
DISTRICTS, HOSPITALS, BUSINESSES, LABOR, TEACHERS, PARENTS and
TAXPAYER GROUPS throughout California OPPOSE PROPOSITION 224 !
--WHO'S BEHIND PROPOSITION 224? WHY HAVE THEY DISGUISED ITS REAL
PURPOSE?
A group of state bureaucrats (primarily Caltrans employees) spent millions to put
Proposition 224 on the ballot. Why? They want you to believe it's to save taxpayers
money. Would a state bureaucrats group really spend millions of their OWN dollars to save
YOU money? Hardly.
Read the fine print! DISGUISED as a "competitive bidding" initiative, Proposition 224
creates a RIGGED formula that virtually PROHIBITS STATE GOVERNMENT, CITIES,
COUNTIES and SCHOOL DISTRICTS FROM CONTINUING to CONTRACT for design,
environmental and engineering work with the private sector.
-PROPOSITION 224 VIRTUALLY PROHIBITS THE CONTINUED USE OF PRIVATE
SECTOR SEISMIC EXPERTS TO MAKE HIGHWAYS, OVERPASSES AND BRIDGES
EARTHQUAKE-SAFE.
Contracting out design work for seismic retrofitting, schools, hospitals, highways and
bridges keeps the government payroll from ballooning and permits the use of private
expertise. Proposition 224 would essentially halt this practice. The bureaucrats behind
Proposition 224 want more work brought in-house, CREATING MORE PUBLIC PAYROLL
JOBS.
--PROPOSITION 224 REPRESENTS A HUGE SHIFT OF JOBS FROM THE PRIVATE
SECTOR TO THE PUBLIC PAYROLL. MORE STATE BUREAUCRATS! BIGGER
GOVERNMENT! HIGHER TAXES!
Economic analysis reveals it would mean thousands of LOST PRIVATE SECTOR JOBS
and force California to HIRE up to 15,600 NEW BUREAUCRATS at a TAXPAYER COST
of $1,700,000,000 ANNUALL Y--that's BILLION, with a "B".
--LOCAL GOVERNMENTS OPPOSE PROPOSITION 224. IT TAKES AWAY LOCAL
CONTROL. CREATES COSTLY BUREAUCRATIC DELAYS AND GIVES ONE
POLITICIAN ENORMOUS NEW POWERS.
It forces cities, counties and school districts to seek the state controller's approval before
contracting out design work on school, road, hospital, water treatment and other building
projects. That's TOO MUCH POWER to give ONE POLITICIAN. It would DELA Y VITAL
PROJECTS and REDUCE TAXPAYER ACCOUNTABILITY.

Administration/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: The 1998-1999 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget is being submitted for review at
the May 21, 1998 Board Meeting, and is scheduled for approval at the June 9, 1998 Board Meeting.
BACKGROUND: Over the past four years, the total Sewer Service Charge (SSC) has remained
constant at $188 due to controlling operating costs. At the Board Meeting of February 11, 1998, the
Board established the sse rate for Fiscal Year 1998-1999 to continue at the current rate of $188.
Therefore, the draft O&M Budget for Fiscal Year 1998-1999 was calculated using a $157 SSC
allocation to O&M and no increase to the current total SSC rate of $188.
The following table shows the actual and approved SSC rates and corresponding allocations between
O&M and capital for 1992-1993 through 1998-1999.
Sewer Service Charge
Year Cost Per Residence Total Capital Transfer
Amount (000 Omitted)
Capital O&M
1992-1993 $5 $160 $165 $609
1 993-1994 25 160 185 3,368 (1)
1994-1995 28 160 188 3,832
1995-1996 31 157 188 4,320
1996-1997 31 157 188 4,366
1997-1998 31 157 188 4,433
1998-1999 (Approved) 31 157 188 4,471
Total $25,399
(1) The Sewer Service Charge was increased to cover the Ad Valorem tax withheld by the State of California.

The following adjustments have been included in the 1998-1999 O&M Budget:
Salary & Benefits:
. A general increase of 3.4% District-wide
. Kaiser and HealthNet medical insurance rates increased by 5 %
. Retirement costs increased by 2%
. Capitalized overhead increased from 46.85% to 61.39% based on the analysis completed by
the District's internal auditor
Revenue:
. A partial Tax Revenue shift from Sewer Construction Fund to O&M Fund to cover interest
expense associated with Certificates of Participation (COP).
Expenses:
. Engineering Department increased by $1.45 million due to interest expense for both the COP
and Recycled Water Loan.
. Utility expense will no longer be accrued monthly. Instead, utility expense will be reported
when paid. For example, the budget will reflect July invoices being paid in August and so on.
Attachment I summarizes the O&M revenues, expenses, and reserve balances for the seven fiscal
years 1992-1993 through the 1998-1999 budget year, and the related SSC rate and SSC equivalent
units for each fiscal year. This position paper focuses on variances between projected 1997-1998
and the proposed 1998-1 999 budget, as the projected year end results reflect more accurately the
revenues and expenses of the District. The presentation to the Board will focus on changes from last
year's budget to this year's proposed budget to provide an additional perspective to the Board.
Variances explanations between projected 1997-98 and the proposed 1998-99 budget are provided
below:
Revenue:
Total District Revenue for Fiscal Year 1997-1998 is projected to be $29,681,870 compared to 1998-
1999 budgeted revenue of $31,168,260, resulting in an increase of $1,486,390 or 5.01%. This

is mainly due to a $1,389,451 shift of tax revenue from the Sewer Construction Fund to the O&M
Fund to cover the cost of interest expense associated with the District's COP, an increase of
$400,000 in City of Concord Revenue due to their share of increased Plant Operation Department
expenses, an increase of $159,311 in Sewer Service Charge revenue assuming moderate growth,
and an increase of $114,000 in recycled water revenue due to an increased customer base and
usage.
Expense:
Total District expenses for Fiscal Year 1997-1998 are projected to be $29,645,102 compared to
1998-1999 budgeted expenses of $32,827,029, resulting in an increase of $3,181,927 of 10.7%
Variance explanations for benefit expense categories as well as for each Department follow:
Employee Benefits:
District Running Expense benefits for 1997-1998 are projected to be $5,734,317 compared to a
1998-1999 budget of $6,604,786 resulting in a total increase of $870,469 or 15.2%. The major
factors contributing to this increase are: the cost-of-living adjustment which increases all salary-driven
benefit costs, a budgeted 2% increase ($482,698) in Retirement rates, a 5% budgeted rate increase
($183,104) for Kaiser and HealthNet medical costs and an increase in Workers' Compensation rates
and experience modification factor. Capitalized Administrative Overhead, which reduces the O&M
Budget, is projected to be -$904,055 in 1997-1998 compared to a 1998-1999 budget of
-$1,164,497 for a variance of $260,442. This is mainly due to the overhead percent applied to
salaries increasing from 46.85% to 61.39% based on the review of overhead performed by Rosemary
Belland, the District's internal auditor.
Administrative:
The Administrative Department projects 1997-1998 expenses of $5,730,344 compared to a 1998-
1999 budget of $6,466,621 resulting in an increase of $736,277 or 12.85 %. This is primarily due
to positions which became vacant during the current year and which are planned to be filled in the
new budget year, centralizing Safety staff salaries, benefits, and expenses into the Administrative
budget, and a cost-of-living adjustment in salaries resulting in a total increase of $725,652. Also,
Election Expenses of $65,000 are budgeted in the 1998-1999 fiscal year. The Technical Services
account reflects a $136,530 reduction from projected actual 1997-1998 to the new 1998-1999
budget, due to a reduced need for temporary agency help next fiscal year.

RECEIVE THE 1998-1999 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET
Engineering:
The Engineering Department projects 1997-1998 expenses of $5,014,804 compared to a 1998-1999
budget of $6,810,366, resulting in an increase of $1,795,562 or 35.81 %. This is mainly due to a
$1,451,951 increase in Interest Expense because interest payments for the District's COP and State
Recycled Water Loan will become an Operations and Maintenance expense next year rather than a
capital expense; a $164,790 increase in Technical Services to complete the updating of collection
system maps; a $131,243 increase in Salaries & Wages - Non-Management because of greater
capitalized salaries in 1997-1998 than anticipated; a $68,700 increase in Operating Supplies,
primarily for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility; and a $27,500 increase in Public
Information for the cost of a potential Proposition 218 Sewer Service Charge rate increase notification
which was not needed in 1997-1998. These increases are partially offset by a $79,197 decrease
in Benefits due to increased capitalized administrative overhead in 1998-1999 and by a $58,357
decrease in Salaries & Wages - Management primarily due to the loss of the Planning Division
Manager position.
CSO:
The Collection System Operations Department projects 1997-98 expenses to be $4,307,088
compared to a 1998-99 budget of $4,518,126, resulting in an increase of $211,038 or 4.90%. This
is mainly due to a $200,000 increase in salaries for cost-of-living and pay adjustments, and filling two
vacant positions; a $104,000 increase in Employee Benefits; and an estimated 3% inflation in
materials, supplies, and services. These increases are partially offset by a $84,000 decrease in
salaries due to the transfer of a Safety Specialist to the Administrative Department, a $72,000
decrease in Technical Services due to a reduction in the use of temporary agency employees and
outside training consultants.
Plant Operations & Pumping Stations:
The Plant Operations and Pumping Stations Department projects 1997-1998 expenses to be
$14,592,866 compared to a 1998-1999 budget of $15,031,916, resulting in an increase of
$439,050 or 3.0%. This is mainly due to a $247,655 increase in Employee Benefits, a $114,625
increase in Utilities due to increased natural gas prices and a full year of water reuse, a $64,022
increase in Chemicals due to a full year of water reuse, and a $40,030 increase in Outside Services
due to use of a contract instrumentation company to meet maintenance needs of the treatment plant.
