BOARD MEETING OF SUBJECT DATE ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT FROM JERRY A. KA TOPODIS AND LINDA A. KA TOPODIS AT A COST OF $18,250.00 - DP 20131 - PARCEL 008 - PLEASANT HILL AREA. TYPE OF ACTION ACCEPT GRANT OF EASEMENT SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT.lDIV. Michael J. Penny, Assistant Engineer Engineering DeptJlnfrastructure Div. ISSUE: The subject easement is required for a portion of the 54-inch trunk sewer which will be constructed in conjunction with the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. BACKGROUND: The easement is located in the parking lot on the northwest corner of the commercial building at 61 Chilpancingo Parkway, Pleasant Hill. The easement is shown on the attached map Exhibit "A". This easement would be needed regardless of whether the Board eventually approves Segment 14 or Segments 13/15 of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor. The sewer facilities will be constructed by a conventional open-cut operation which will prohibit the use of some parking spaces and limit access to the remaining parking lot. Construction in the vicinity of the easement is tentatively scheduled for 1994. The easement will establish permanent rights for the construction, maintenance, repair, and access to the sewer facilities. Funds for the purchase of the easement are included in the money which the Board authorized for the acquisition of land rights for the Pleasant Hill Easement Acquisitions Project, DP 20131 . RECOMMENDATION: Accept easement at a cost of $18,250.00 from Mr. and Mrs. Katopodis, DP 20131, Parcel 008. Authorize the President of the District Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to accept the Grant of Easement and authorize the Grant of Easement to be recorded.

TAYLOR, JOB NO. 3901, PARCEL NO.1, #24 NORTHRIDGE LANE, LAFAYETTE AREA SUBMITTED BY Dennis Hall INITIATING DEPT/DIV. ngineering Department ISSUE: The property owners, Mr. & Mrs. D. B. Taylor, have requested the District's approval to allow the encroachment of a concrete driveway within a District easement. BACKGROUND: The Taylor property, Lot 10 of Subdivision 5305, requires access from Northridge Lane. Because of the steep down slope along the property's frontage, the only safe and reasonable location for a driveway is across the western corner of the adjoining property, Lot 9 of Subdivision 5305. The proposed driveway location crosses a portion of a CCCSD 10- foot wide sewer easement and an 8-inch sewer main. The driveway is constructed of reinforced concrete, supported by concrete piers and a retaining wall. The Taylors modified their plans to eliminate any adverse impact on the District's facilities. The T aylors have paid the District's processing fee and provided information requested by staff. Staff has determined that the improvements will not interfere with the present use of our sewer; however, if the need should arise, the agreement requires the property owners to move the improvements at their expense within 30 days of notice to do so. Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. The Board of Directors' approval of the project will constitute a finding of agreement with this determination unless otherwise indicated. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Agreement relating to real property with David B. Taylor, et ux, Job No. 3901, and authorize the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute said agreement, and authorize the agreement to be recorded.

CONSENT CALENDAR c. SUBJECT DATE ADVISE THE BOARD OF THE CLOSE OUT OF 1 9 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TYPE OF ACTION INFORMATIONAL SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. John J. Mercurio, Administrative Analyst Engineering Dept.lPlanning Division ISSUE: Work has been completed on 1 9 capital improvement projects, and it is now appropriate to close out these projects. BACKGROUND: The capital improvement projects listed on Attachment 1 have been completed. A description of each project follows on Attachments 2 through 4. The total authorized budget for the 19 projects is $12,363,060. The total completed project cost is $12,218,887, which is $144,173 less than budgeted. Staff is closing out the 19 project accounts, which will result in $87,203 being returned to the Treatment Plant Program, $76,074 being returned to the Collection System Program, and an overrun of $19,104 being charged to the General Improvements Program. Additional projects previously closed out during the fiscal year had authorized budgets totaling $2,492,384. Total expenditures on these projects amounted to $2,426,218 which resulted in $66,166 being returned to the three programs. A Summary of the total authorized budgets and expenditures for the 19 projects to be closed is presented by program in the following table: Underrun Program Authorized Budget Expenditures (Overruns) Treatment Plant 1,067,000 979,884 87,116 Collection System 6,828,923 6,763,706 65,217 General Improvements 4,467,137 4,486,241 (19,104) Totals 12,363,060 12,229,831 133,229 The total net underrun of $133,229 is approximately 1 percent of the total authorized budgets for these projects.

The Flow-Through Bioassay Facility project, DP 10092, purchased and installed a new facility to meet the full requirements of the Department of Fish and Game. The new facility contains multiple bioassay test systems, two culture tanks, and a temperature control cabinet for reference studies. The project was overexpended due to unforeseen difficulties with utility relocation and the need for additional analytical equipment. The laboratory is designed to accommodate future expansion if necessary. . Sludge Treatment Pilot Testing project, DP 20104, tested two sludge thermal drying units in 1991 as a possible back-up for the Multiple Hearth Incinerators. The results of the pilot testing indicated thermal drying of Central San sludge can achieve a product dryness which is required for landfill disposal. The estimated capital cost of thermal drying strictly as a backup to incineration with dried sludge disposal at a landfill is approximately $15,000,000. . The Secondary Facilities Staging project, DP 20106, provided a rational method for scheduling treatment plant construction projects to expand the capacity of secondary treatment. Tasks included the completion of a staging plan, evaluation of the aeration efficiency of the existing A&N tanks, a preliminary siting plan, operations/design evaluation of splitting the plant (nitrification/carbonaceous oxidation) and improving the aeration basins to provide additional secondary treatment capacity. . The Outfall Dilution and Toxicity project, DP 20123, evaluated of the dilution of District effluent at the Suisun Bay outfall. A 10: 1 dilution ratio is required by our NPDES permit and the study confirmed to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Quality Control Board that the daily average dilution ratio always exceeds 16: 1 . In addition, both chronic and acute toxicity studies were performed on District effluent from nitrification and from carbonaceous oxidation treatment. . The Headworks Bypass Pipeline DP 20129, will increase wet weather bypass capacity to the storage basins from about 85 mgd to 135 mgd. The project consists of a new 78-inch diameter bypass pipeline connecting the new headworks with the existing bypass pipeline on the west side of the primary clarifiers. Other features of the project include improvements to the basin drainback facilities, bypass channel, and bypass flow measurement facilities. This project was combined with the Headworks Project, DP 20069 for construction. Page 6 of 8 ATTACHMENT 3 COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM CAPITAL PROJECTS TO BE CLOSED OUT . The Strand Avenue Collection System Improvement project, OP 4237, was initiated to eliminate overflows along Strand Avenue and Westover Drive in Pleasant Hill. The recommended alternative involves diverting wastewater from the Strand Avenue sewer to a new trunk sewer to be constructed along Mercury Way. This alternative is dependent on a planned storm drain relocation by the City of Pleasant Hill. Final design and construction of the recommended project will be accomplished under the Watershed 23 Phase 2 Project, OP 4848. . The Near Court Sliplining project, OP 4535, consisted of sliplining 280 feet of existing 18-inch pipe crossing beneath the 1-680 freeway from Near Court in Walnut Creek. . The Orinda Sewer Improvements Facilities Plan (OSIFP), OP 4614, was recommended in the 1985 Collection System Master Plan which identified trunk sewer capacity deficiencies in Orinda (Watersheds 2, 3, and 8). The OSIFP presents a $14 million capital improvement program to address sewer capacity and maintenance problems. The OSIFP also provides design guidelines for the recommended sewer projects now in design, including the Moraga Way/Glorietta, Crestview, and Overhill/Tarry Lane sewer improvement projects. . The Clyde Pump Station Renovation project, OP 4766, included planning and design of improvements to the existing pumping station serving the community of Clyde. Improvements include 2 new submersible pumps, piping and valving modifications, new electrical and instrumentation controls, a new water supply system, fencing, and paving. Construction of these improvements is being performed under another project, Clyde/Fairview/Maltby Pumping Station Improvements, DP 4682. . The Martinez Sewer Renovation project, DP 4768, included the installation of approximately 10,000 feet of sewers, associated manholes, and lateral connections. The majority of the project was in Berrellesa Street between Ward Street and C Street. The remainder of the project was divided among 17 other sites in Martinez. Page 7 of 8 ATTACHMENT 3 COLLECTION SYSTEM PROGRAM CAPITAL PROJECTS TO BE CLOSED OUT . The Collection System Operations Department Sewer Renovation - XPANDIT 91 Demonstration, DP 9531, replaced 3,126 linear feet of sewer pipe. The eight segments of sewer pipe were selected because of their deteriorated condition and high ongoing maintenance requirements. They are located in Walnut Creek and Lafayette in narrow residential easements with difficult access and mature landscaping. This project employed a trenchless pipe bursting method called XPANDIT which minimized surface disturbance. . The Country Gardens/3rd Avenue Sewer Improvements, Phase 1, DP 14615, is the first of a two-phase project to replace deteriorated sewers in the southwest Pleasant Hill/northwest Walnut Creek area. This project includes the installation of approximately 15,000 feet of sewers, associated manholes, and lateral connections. . Collection System Planning, DP 20128, provided facility planning for improvements to the District's 1 ,300-mile sewer system. Facility planning included sewer system capacity studies to identify and define sewer system deficiencies, long-term flow monitoring, and work on the land use data base. . Collection System Planning - TWA Study, DP 20137, was to develop the technical and financial requirements for a potential joint project between the Tri- Valley Wastewater Authority (TWA) and CCCSD to transport, treat, and recycle or dispose of a portion of the future wastewater generated in the TWA service area. TWA reimbursed CCCSD $145,670 for the costs of the study with the exception of some attorney billings for legal analysis. From the CCCSD perspective, the project would have provided an opportunity for cost savings in the Capital Improvement Program, as well as in future operations and maintenance, through economies-of-scale. However, CCCSD has not received a proposal from TW A, and we have no reason to believe that we will receive such a proposal. No further work on the project would be appropriate at this time. Page 8 of 8 ATTACHMENT 4 GENERAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CAPITAL PROJECTS TO BE CLOSED OUT . The Engineering Office Space Expansion project, DP 20083, and the Plant Office Expansion project, DP 10078, were combined into a single project. DP 20083 provided additional office space by expanding into the basement/garage area of the Headquarters Office Building and remodeled existing offices on the first and second floors of the building. The Plant Operations Department office area was expanded to the north to provide eight additional office spaces. The primary reason for the overrun is design changes to accommodate the Engineering Department reorganization. . The Property Acquisition-4737 Imhoff Place project, DP 20118, was initiated in March, 1991, to purchase 3.6 acres, including a 23,100 square foot office and warehouse building and a 4,800 square foot metal building. The principal objective of this purchase was to preclude future use of this site in a manner which may be incompatible with the possible nuisances associated with treatment plant operations. Since the purchase, the District has used the property for offices and parking; and currently, six of the eleven bays are leased realizing a rental income of $8,840 per month. . The Personnel and Graphics Area Air Conditioning project, DP 20127, was initiated in August, 1991, to install air conditioning units in the graphics area and the hallway adjacent to the Personnel counter. The installation has eliminated the 95 degree temperatures that previously occurred in these areas in summer. . The Re-Authorized CSO 1990-91 Equipment project, DP 30025, was initiated to complete the outfitting of two specialty vans and to purchase a concrete mixer. This equipment was originally approved as part of the 1990-91 Equipment Budget, but the purchases were not completed by the end of the fiscal year. The overrun on this project was due to the need to complete the retrofit modification by an outside service rather than with in-house shop personnel. This was needed due to unexpected understaffing resulting from extended illness of two shop employees. .

Collection System Operations ISSUE: On May 5, 1993 sealed bids were received and opened for the construction of the Collection System Operations Department (CSOD) Facility Reconfiguration Project, District Project No. 30023. The Board of Directors must award the contract or reject all bids. BACKGROUND: The District initiated a capital project to reconfigure the CSO Yard in 1990 in anticipation of the loss of approximately 1 acre (20% of usage of corporation yard area) due to the Caltrans 1680/24 Project. The project included the purchase of additional property and the design of new and replacement facilities including relocation of the Vehicle Maintenance Shop, storage hoppers, locker/shower facilities, retaining walls, grading, paving, fencing, and landscaping. Negotiations are underway with Caltrans regarding reimbursement for a portion of the District's project costs. The amount of reimbursement will be established at a later date and it will be dependent on the total project cost less the cost of any betterment. The CSO Yard is an existing, non-conforming use under the City of Walnut Creek's General Plan and the construction project occasioned by Caltrans' 1680/24 Project has been completed under the City of Walnut Creek Plan and Design Review processes which have added time and cost to the Reconfiguration Project. The project was advertised on April 17 and 22, 1993. Bids were opened on May 5, 1993. Four bids were received ranging from $1,695,000 to $1,852,000. The Engineer's Estimate was $1,500,000. The low bid is $195,000 or 13% over the Engineer's Estimate. A summary of the bids is included as Attachment I to the Position Paper. The total project budget is $3,388,000 as shown in the 1993/94 Capital Improvement Budget (pages GI 16 through GI 18). Project expenditures to date have been $1,784,322 ($ 441,600 for planning, design and other pre-bid activities and $1,342,722 for the purchase of additional property). The remaining budget for this project of $1,603,678 will not cover the construction contract and other related costs for this project.

June 17, 1993 6. PERSONNEL a. SUBJECT DATE June 10, 1993 TYPE OF ACTION ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EARLY RETIREMENT SERVICE CREDIT PERSONNEL SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT.lDIV. Cathryn Radin Freitas, Personnel Officer Administrative ISSUE: In order to offer early retirement service credit to District employees, the Board of Directors must adopt a resolution pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 31641.04. BACKGROUND: Due to the difficult financial times facing the District, staff has been pursuing various cost savings and containment strategies. Considering 79% of all District operations and maintenance expenses, including charge-outs to capital projects (contra), are labor and benefit related, we have researched the concept of offering early retirements as a means to reduce labor costs. Additionally, looking to the future, it may be difficult to accomplish a flat budget for the second consecutive year without eliminating some staff positions. Consequently, by offering early retirement service credit and not filling those vacated positions, the District might be able to reduce positions, avoid lay-offs, and save operations expenses. Under the 1937 County Retirement Act, the District has the ability to purchase up to two years of additional service credit for eligible employees who are fifty years of age or more and have ten years or more of service credit. The additional years of service credit may not be used to achieve the minimum qualifications of fifty years of age and ten years of service. The cost to the District varies by such factors as an employee's age, age of spouse, years of service, salary, projected lifespan, etc. On an average, the cost is approximately $45,000 per employee for two years of retirement credit. If the District offered employees the two years, they would need to retire by August 31, 1993, for the cost to the District to be less than the cost of the employee's salary and benefits for a year. The District would save the entire cost of salaries and benefits the second year, unless the vacated position would need to be filled. Controller Debbie Ratcliff has prepared an analysis estimating costs and benefits to the District under two scenarios (see attached). In Scenario One, with five retirements and no positions replaced, the District would save $33,140 in the 1993-94 Fiscal Year and $258,158 in the 1994-95 Fiscal Year. In Scenario Two, with seventeen retirements and six positions re-filled, the District would save approximately $46,900 this coming Fiscal Year and $627,923 the subsequent Fiscal Year. Of course staff has no way of actually knowing how many employees would avail themselves of the early retirement offer so the actual savings may be greater or less than these estimates. Also, without knowing who would retire, it is impossible to predict which REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION tk!F PM SUBJECT ADOPT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EARLY RETIREMENT SERVICE CREDIT PAGE DATE 2 OF 5 June 10, 1993 positions would have to be filled. Nevertheless, it is significant to note that under both scenarios, the savings to the District is positive in the first year with considerable savings in second year and years beyond. If the Board approves the attached resolution, staff would immediately begin meeting and conferring with the appropriate bargaining groups. Subsequently, we would notify employees of the opportunity and arranging on-site informational sessions with the County retirement office. It is staff's recommendation to offer early retirement service credit to all employees of the District. Any retirement under this plan would need to take place prior to September 1, 1993, to gain any net benefit in this fiscal year. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution pursuant to Government Code Section 31641 .04. 1302B-7/91 ...
