INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Dept./lnfrastructure Div.
.ISS.U.E: Board approval is required for the District to accept Grants of Easements.
BACKGROUND: The subject Grants of Easements are part of the continuation of right of way acquisition
for future phases of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor. These easements are being acquired from private
property owners to accommodate the Interceptor and recycled water distribution lines. Maps depicting the
easements are attached.
Appraisals were prepared by a licensed real estate appraiser hired by the District to determine the value of
the proposed easements. Based on comparable sales of similar land and the impact of the proposed
easements on the value of the existing lands, the just compensation amounts for permanent sanitary sewer
and recycled waterline easements have been paid to the following owners:
John F. Malczyn and Joanne P. Malczyn
Betty J. Labate and Sheryn M. Labate
James Paul Miller
101 Moiso Lane
11 9 Moiso Lane
113 Moiso Lane
$1,500
$1,500
$1,900
Funds for the purchase of right of way are included in the authorized Pleasant Hill Easement Acquisition
Project, DP 4985.
This project was addressed in the 1991 Pleasant Hill/A-Line Environmental Impact Report and the 1993
Recycled Water Pipeline Project Negative Declaration. No additional environmental documentation is required.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept Grants of Easements from John F. Malczyn and Joanne P. Malczyn, Betty J.
Labate and Sheryn M. Labate, and James Paul Miller, and authorize staff to record said Grants of
Easements with the Contra Costa County Recorder.

AUTHORIZE SITE VISIT
SUBJECT
AUTHORIZE DON BERGER, ASSOCIATE ENGINEER, STEVEN COLBERG, SHIFT SUPERVISOR, AND DAVID
HOLLENBACH, MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN III, MECHANICAL, TO CONDUCT A SITE VISIT TO FERN LEY,
NEVADA, TO VIEW NEW ASH FILTER TECHNOLOGY AT A TOTAL COST OF $600
SUBMI1TED BY
Don E. Berger, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Department/Plant Engineering Division
ISSUE: Approval by the Board of Directors is required for travel outside California.
BACKGROUND: In May 1997, Montgomery Watson completed a predesign study for the Ash System
Improvements Project, District Project 7186. This study recommended replacing the existing ash filter and
cyclone system with a new cartridge filter-based system. The cartridge filters appear to have a number of
advantages over the existing system, which utilizes a conventional filter media sock installed over a cage.
These advantages include longer filter life, better capture of dust, easier removal and cleaning, and smaller
space requirements. The new filters are designed to operate without cyclones, which reduces the complexity
of the system and also saves space in an area which is crowded and difficult to access.
Before making a final decision on the cartridge filters, it would be prudent to visit a cartridge filter installation
and talk first hand with operations and maintenance staff. The closest installation with similar process
conditions to the District's is a diatomaceous earth plant in Fern ley , Nevada.
The trip participants would consist of Don Berger, Associate Engineer, Steve Colberg, Shift Supervisor, and
David Hollenbach, Maintenance Technician III, Mechanical. The information learned on this trip would provide
important information for design as well as for future operations and maintenance activities. The budget for
the Ash System Improvements Project, District Project 7186, has funds available to cover the cost of this trip.
It is expected that the site visit would occur during the month of November 1997.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize Don Berger, Associate Engineer, Steve Colberg, Shift Supervisor, and David
Hollenbach, Maintenance Technician III, Mechanical, to conduct a site visit to Fernley, Nevada, to view new
ash filter technology at a total cost of $600.

INITIATING DEPTIDIV
Engineering Department/Infrastructure Division
ISSUE: A public hearing must be conducted to consider comment regarding the proposed
assessment, the Resolution of Intention, the Engineer's Report, and any other comments from the
public, including the affected parcel owners, relating to the proposed Leona Court Contractual
Assessment District No. 97-2 (C.A.D. No. 97-2).
BACKGROUND: A group of four parcel owners living on Leona Court in Alamo have requested that
the District form an assessment district for the purpose of financing and constructing a public sewer
system that will benefit their properties. The proposed sewer includes approximately 400 feet of
8-inch sewer main that will serve the proponents' four existing properties, all of which have existing
homes presently relying on septic tanks. A map showing the proposed boundary and the proposed
sewer location is attached as Exhibit A.
On August 7, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution directing the preparation of a report
for a demonstration project known as Leona Court C.A.D. No. 97-2. A report has been
prepared, and assessments have been estimated. (The Engineer's Report is being provided to the
Board under separate cover.) On September 18, 1997, the Board of Directors set a public hearing
for November 6, 1997. Since assessments are proposed to be levied on properties, the procedural
requirements of Proposition 218 do apply. Compliance with these requirements has been included
in the documents and actions proposed for Board consideration. In order to continue the process
for Leona Court C.A.D. No. 97-2, the following actions are necessary:
1 . Conduct a public hearing to:
a. announce the tabulation of ballots submitted by owners of each affected parcel
indicating approval or opposition to the proposed assessment.

2. If, at the close of the hearing, the Board finds that protests and ballot opposition are
insufficient, the following resolutions may be considered and adopted:
a. Resolution overruling protests of improvement (Exhibit B)
b. Resolution confirming compliance with California Constitution, Article XIIID,
Section 4 (Exhibit C).
c. Resolution approving the Engineer's Report, assessments, and ordering
improvement (Exhibit D).
An agreement between the owners and the District is needed to establish the responsibilities of both
parties. District Counsel has prepared such an agreement in which the owners agree to:
· assessments being placed on their property tax bills;
· pay the assessments;
· accept total responsibility for the design and construction of the sanitary sewer
extension;
. reQuire the contractor who is selected by the owners to maintain certain insurance
coverage;
· accept total responsibility for the costs associated with the sanitary sewer extension,
including interest for District financing;
· have the sanitary sewer extension constructed in accordance with District standards.

THE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT - LEONA COURT CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
NO. 97-2, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5240
The District will:
· finance the costs of the sanitary sewer extension;
· place assessments on owners' tax bills
· be reimbursed in full by receiving payments, including interest, for the total amount
financed from owners over a ten-year period
· accept the work of the contractor, provided the work is done in accordance with
District standards
The agreement has been executed by all four affected parcel owners. It is appropriate to authorize
the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute the agreement on behalf of the District.
Under an initial allocation of $10,000 from the General Manager-Chief Engineer, project oversight,
preliminary engineering, and plan review have been accomplished. An additional allocation is
necessary to complete the project. An allocation of $58,000 from the Collection System Program
Contingency Account is requested for this effort. A summary of project costs is shown in Exhibit E.
The estimated total project cost is $68,000.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Ouality Act (CEOA)
under District CEOA Guidelines, Section 5.2(b)(3), since it can be seen with certainty that there is
no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
This certainty is based on the District's past experience with numerous similar sewer construction
projects, the developed nature of the project environment, and the limited service area of the project
(no potential for growth inducement). Board of Directors' approval of the Engineer's Report will
constitute an independent finding that this project is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: If a majority protest is not filed and if less than a majority of returned ballots
from affected parcel owners oppose the assessment, staff recommends that the Board of Directors
take the following actions:
· Conduct public hearing.
· Adopt a resolution overruling protests.

RESOLUTION APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT AND ASSESSMENT
AND ORDERING IMPROVEMENT
DEMONSTRATION PROJECT
LEONA COURT CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 97-2
The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District resolves:
This Board has taken a series of actions preliminary to ordering the improvement
in the Demonstration Project - Leona Court Contractual Assessment District No. 97-2,
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, Contra Costa County, California, and now makes
the following findings and orders:
1 . The Board adopted a map showing the boundaries of the land benefitted by
the proposed improvement. A copy of the boundary map was filed in the office of the
County Recorder of the County of Contra Costa in the Book of Maps of Assessment and
Community Facilities Districts.
2. The Board adopted its Resolution of Intention to order the improvement
described therein under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, and directed Jay S.
McCoy, Infrastructure Division Manager, as the Engineer of Work for the Assessment
District, to prepare the report required by Section 5989.22 of the Streets and Highways
Code.
H:\JA Y\LEONACD2\CONDHRNG .doc
The improvement is generally described as follows:
Construction and installation of approximately 400 linear feet
of sanitary sewer line, together with appurtenant work and
facilities located at Leona Court in Alamo, California.
3. The Board called a hearing of protests on the Leona Court Contractual
Assessment District No. 97-2. Notice of the hearing was given by publication, by street
posting, and by mailing to affected parcel owners, all according to the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1911. Affidavits of publication, posting, and mailing were filed with
the Secretary of the District.
4. At the time and place for which notice was given, the Board of Directors
conducted a public hearing pursuant to Section 5898.26 of the Streets and Highways
Code, which included a summary of the Engineer's Report and gave every person present
an opportunity to comment on and object to the proposed Contractual Assessment
Program improvement and the extent of the Assessment District.
5. The Board further finds that written protests against the proposed
improvement have not been made by owners representing more than one half of the area
of the land to be assessed for the improvement.
H:\JA Y\LEONACD2\CONDHRNG .doc
6. The documents and events described in paragraphs 1 to 4, inclusive, are
stated here in tabular form, with their dates and, where appropriate, their numbers. All
documents are now on file with the District.

7. The Board approves the Engineer's Report and each component part of it,
including each exhibit incorporated by referenced in the report.
8. The Board finds that the Engineer of Work, in the Engineer's Report has fairly
and properly apportioned the cost of the improvement to each parcel of land in the
Assessment District in compliance with the agreement between the owners and in
proportion to the special benefits derived by each parcel, in relationship to the entirety of
the capital cost of the improvement. The Board hereby confirms and levies each individual
assessment as stated in the Engineer's Report.
9. This Board orders the improvement described in paragraph 2 and as detailed
in the Engineer's Report.
H:\JA Y\LEONACD2\CONDHRNG .doc
10. According to Section 10603 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Board
designates the District Controller to collect and receive payment of the assessments. The
parcel owners who elect to pay their assessments in cash before the first assessments
are placed on tax bills and will not be required to pay their pro rata share of the allowance
for the reserve fund.
11 . The Board independently finds that this project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 5.2(b)(3), since
it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may
have a significant adverse effect on the environment. This certainty is based on the
District's past experience with numerous similar sewer construction projects, the

ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization to award a joint construction contract is required under an
agreement with the City of Martinez (City).
BACKGROUND: The City of Martinez is planning to improve a section of Pacheco Boulevard between
Susanna Street and Potter Street in Martinez (see Attachment 1). The road improvements include
replacement of sidewalks and gutters, widening of the roadway, installation of a new water main, and
undergrounding of various overhead utilities. Construction of the road improvement will extend for
approximately one year.
TIle timing and location of the City's road improvement project coincides with sewer replacement planned
by the District as part of the Martinez East Side Trunk Sewer Project. To avoid conflicts between the City
and District contractors and to reduce construction impacts on the residents along Pacheco Boulevard, the
District approved an agreement on July 17, 1997, to construct a portion of the replacement sewer as a joint
project with the City of Martinez Pacheco Boulevard Improvement Project. Approximately 3,500 feet of 6-,
8-, 12-, and 15-inch sewer will be constructed under the joint project. Under the agreement, the City will
administer and manage the construction project. The District must approve award of the sewer portion of
the construction contract before award by the City.
The plans and specifications for the sewer portion of the joint project were prepared by District staff. The
engineer's estimate for the sewer construction is $534,400. This project was advertised on September 18
and 25, 1997. Ten sealed bids were received and publicly opened by the City on October 23, 1997. The
bids for the sewer portion ranged from $379,703 to $743,290. A summary of bids for the sewer portion
and total construction contract is shown in Attachment 2. Infrastructure Division staff conducted a technical
and commercial review of the bids and determined that Bay Cities Paving and Grading, Inc. of Concord is
the lowest responsible bidder.

IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, DP 4950
Under the joint project agreement, the City of Martinez will be responsible for project bidding and construction
management. For these services, the District will reimburse the City for 16.67 percent of the construction
management and administration costs. The District will be responsible for the sewer construction costs and
will provide construction staking, sewer construction inspection, and design services during sewer
construction. The funds required to complete this project are $615,000. The total cost of this project is
$710,000. A summary of project costs is shown in Attachment 3.
Staff has concluded that the District's portion of this project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines, Section 18.3, since it involves replacement of existing
public sewage facilities on the same sites as the facilities being replaced with negligible or no expansion of
dry-weather capacity. Board of Directors' previous approval on July 17, 1997, of the District's portion of
this project constituted an independent finding that this project is exempt from CEOA.
The Martinez East Side Trunk Sewer Project is described on pages CS-40 through CS-42 of the 1997-98
Capital Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDAll0N: Authorize award of a construction contract to Bay Cities Paving and Grading, Inc. by
the City of Martinez for sewer construction as part of the Pacheco Boulevard Improvements Project,

ISSUE: Board of Directors' approval of the sale of District real properly is required.
BACKGROUND: Parcel No. 159-040-035,5139 Port Chicago Highway, Concord, was acquired by the District in
1968 for use as a pumping station site to serve the Port Chicago area. The pumping s1ation was abandoned in
August of 1989 and was no longer needed for District purposes.
On November 16, 1989, the DistJict Board of Directors adopted a resolution declaring the land surplus and
authorized its sale (Attachment I.) The staff had a fair market value appraisal done in December 1989 and made
an offer 10 sell the parcel to Corm Cement Company (Conoo) for $15,246. Conco oouId not complete the purdlase
at that time. The status of this property and the adjacent properties has remained unchanged.
In August 1997, Conco sent a letter to the District indicating they 'Nef'e noN in a position to purdlase the surplus
land. Conoo is willing to pay the Dis1Jict the original amount of $15.246. which is $3.50 per square foot for the 4.356
square foot parcel, with the District paying the closing oosts. Staff has obtained from a real estate broker current
data that the $3.50 per square foot price is still within the fair market value nanga ($2.00 to $4,OOIsq. ft.) espedaUy
since Corm has purchased a 1,000 square foot parcel adjacent to the District's parcel for $2.00/sq. fl from ContTa
Costa County.
S1aIf has ooncluded that this project (the proposed Grant Deed) is exempt from the California EnvlronmentaI Quality
kJ. (CEQA) under Disbict CEQA Guidelines, Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations.
Board c:i Directcr's approval d this Grant Deed will constilut.e an independent finding that this project is exempt from
CEQA.
RECOMMENDAOON: Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the District Board of Directors and the
Secre1aJy c:i the Oisbict to execute a Grant Deed, and authorize staff to take such other actions as may be required
to complete the transaction.

INITIATING DEPT.IOIV.
Administrative/Purchasing
~: To sell District real property the Board of Directors must adopt a
resolution finding that the property is not necessary for the purposes of the
District and 1s, therefore, declared as surplus; and authorizing the sale thereof.
BACKGROUND: In August 1989 the District completed project No. 4326 at 5139 Port
Chicago Highway. Concord, the abandonment of the Port Chicago Pumping Station and
installation of a gravity sewer system in the public right-of-way. District sewer
facilities have been removed or abandoned from this District-owned parcel.
District staff has determined that the Port Chicago pumping station property.
Assessor's Parcel No. 159-040-035 (See Attachment No. I), is no longer required by
the District, since no active sewer facilities are now located on the property and
no future use is planned. However, a portion approximately ten feet wide and
forty-seven feet long as shown on Attachment I by cross-hatching shall be reserved
under an easement to provide access for the future maintenance of the adjacent
sewer pipelines. The disposition of this property falls within the provisions of
Health and Safety Code Section 6514, which requires that in order to dispose of a
piece of real property, the Board of Directors must find that it is not necessary
for the purposes of the District and is, therefore. surplus.
District Counsel has researched the applicable California laws conc.3rning property
sales and has advised staff that Government Code Section 54221 (e) axempts certain
surplus land from the requirement that the land be offered to other public entities
before the sale. Furthermore. this section exempts surplus land which is less than
5,000 square feet 1n area (subject parcel is 4.356 square feet) and being sold to a
contiguous property owner.
The contiguous property owner (Conco) has contacted the District and expressed
interest in purchasing this small parcel for access or parking. Staff will
negotiate with them, and, if a tentative property agreement is reached, the staff
will return to the Board with a resolution to approve the sale of the property and
the conditions thereof.
RECOMMENDATlON: Adopt the attached resolution which declares Assessor Parcel No.
159-040-035, 5139 Port Chicago Highway, Concord, surplus and authorizes its sale.
RESOLUTION NO. 89- 195
A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE SURPLUS
NATURE OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY AND
AUTHORIZING ITS SALE
WHEREAS, the Board of Di rectors finds that certain real property
hereinafter described and situated within the boundaries of said District
is not necessary for the exercise of its power, duties, and functions:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DETERMINED AND ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
1. That all that certain real property situated in the County of
Contra Costa, State of California, more particularly described as
follows:
Assessor's Parcel Number 159-040-035, 5139 Port
Chicago Highway, Concord, California
is not necessary for the purposes of the Di strict and is therefore
declared as surplus.
2. That the District is hereby authorized to negotiate the sale of
the District's real property with a contiguous property owner in
accordance with Government Code Section 54221(e).
3. That the District Board must approve, by resolution, the sale

AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH BRIAN
KANGAS FOULK FOR CONSULTING SURVEY SERVICES FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL PROJECTS
SUBMITTED BY
Elizabeth A. Charlton, Land Surveyor
INITlA TlNG DEPT/DIV
Engineering Department/Plant Engineering Division
.ISSUE: Authorization of the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute
a professional services agreement in an amount greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: The District Survey Section provides support services for Engineering, Plant Operations, and
Collection System Operations in facilities location, predesign, design, construction, and right-of-way. Survey
gathers both new data and researches, compiles, and interprets archival data for these projects. Survey
contracts with and supervises the work of private surveyors when on-going work exceeds the Section's
capacity. Survey consultants perform field and office land surveying work including control, topographic,
boundary, easement, and construction surveys on an as-needed basis. It is anticipated that Survey will require
these outside survey support services on an on-call, as-needed basis over the next two year period in order
to continue to provide timely service to District departments.
Proposals were solicited from survey consulting firms with experience in providing contract services to
municipalities and special districts. Three surveying firms including Brian Kangas Foulk, Santina & Thompson,
and Towill submitted proposals.
In addition to review of the proposals, these firms participated in an informal interview process according to
the Engineering Department Guidelines for Consultant Procurement No. 4-1. Brian Kangas Foulk was selected
for this work on the basis of availability, experience, and projected costs. A professional services agreement
not to exceed the amount of $92,000 has been negotiated with Brian Kangas Foulk.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional services
agreement with a cost ceiling not to exceed $92,000 with Brian Kangas Foulk for survey support services for
a period of two years.

SUBMITTED BY
Ricardo Hernandez, Engineering Assistant
INITIATING DEPTttllV
Engineering Dept./lnfrastructure Div.
ISSUE: A public hearing must be conducted and a Resolution of Necessity adopted to initiate eminent
domain (condemnation) proceedings for acquisition of public easements.
BACKGROUND: Staff has been negotiating with property owners in Pleasant Hill to acquire some of the last
right-of-way needed for the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor and Recycled Waterline Project. The right-of-way
consists of permanent easements for sanitary sewers and recycled water pipelines and temporary
construction easements on certain properties. Previous Position Papers to the Board have explained the
necessity of the project in correcting sanitary sewer overflows during wet weather in this area of Pleasant
Hill.
Owners of two properties, one on Moiso Lane and the other on Ardith Drive (maps attached), have failed
to respond to repeated efforts by staff to contact them for the purpose addressing their concerns and
reaching a settlement. At this time staff considers it appropriate to proceed with the commencement of
eminent domain action to acquire the easements needed for this construction project. The project is
scheduled to be publicly bid in October of 1998.
Staff .is prepared to present evidence at the public hearing to show that this public improvement project
meets all of the following criteria:
1 . The public interest and necessity require the project;
2. The project is planned or located in a manner that will be most compatible with the greatest
public good and the least private injury;
3. The property rights sought to be acquired are necessary for the project; and
4. The offers pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 have been made to owners of
record of the subject properties.
Staff will continue efforts to contact owners with the intent of resolving all issues and reaching an
agreement with them. As required by law, owners will be notified 16 days prior to the public hearing.
