ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the 1-680/SR-24 Sewer Relocations Project,
Phase 3B (DP4956), and the work is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The 1-680/SR-24 Sewer Relocations Project, Phase 3B, was required in
order to accommodate the 1-680/SR-24 freeway widening and interchange improvements
by CalTrans. Major elements of the Sewer Relocations Project consisted of microtunneling
365 feet of 36-inch steel casing under the freeway with a 12-inch PVC sewer line
installed through the casing, concrete encasing 210 feet of the EBMUD Mokelumne
Aqueducts, replacing 750 feet of a-inch sewer pipe along Sherman Drive and abandoning
28 laterals for homes that were demolished by CalTrans. The general location of the
project site is shown on Attachment 1. Additional information on the project is given
beginning on page CS-48 of the 1994-95 Capital Improvement Budget.
On June 2, 1994, the Board authorized the award of a contract for construction of the
project to Vadnais Corporation of San Diego. Notice to proceed was issued on July 11,
1994, with a specified completion date of December 7, 1994. The contract work was
substantially completed by November 15, 1994 and the new sewer lines were under full
operation as of that date. The remaining work consists of minor punch list items which
do not affect the project acceptance.
The total authorized budget for the project, including engineering design, District forces
during construction, consultant services, testing services, etc is $1,254,000. A detailed
accounting of the project costs will be provid~d to the Board at the time of project close
out. It is appropriate to accept the contract work at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the construction of the 1-680/SR-24
Sewer Relocations Project, Phase 3B (DP4956) and authorize the filing of the Notice of
Completion.

Debbie Ratcliff, Controller
Administrative/Finance & Accounting
ISSUE: A Public Hearing will be conducted on December 1, 1994 to consider the application
for a rate increase submitted by Orinda-Moraga Dispose-All, Inc. (Company) which is franchised
by the District: following the Public Hearing, the refuse collection rates to be effective January
1, 1995 are scheduled to be established by the Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND: An application for a refuse collection rate increase of 1.9 percent to be
effective January 1, 1995 was submitted by the Company on September 16, 1994. Analysis
of the rate application by Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson (HF&H) has been provided to the Board of
Directors, the City of Orinda, the Town of Moraga, Orinda-Moraga Dispose-All, Inc., and
members of the public who requested them. Written or public comments from the City and
Town Councils have been requested for the Board's consideration during the public hearing.
The consultant's analysis of the rate application was presented at the Board workshop on
November 17, 1994. The Company addressed the Board with comments related to the rate
application and analysis.
HF&H has recommended an overall 19.42 percent rate decrease in the Company's rates
effective January 1, 1995. The 19.42 percent overall decrease is comprised of a 19.66
percent decrease for Moraga and a 19.26 percent decrease for Orinda. The decrease for
Moraga is larger due to the decision of the Moraga Town Council to forego collecting its share
of the AB 939 planning fees effective July 1, 1994. (See Attachment I.) The analysis of the
Company's application and recommendations made by HF&H are contained in a separately
bound document.
The rate setting issues related to the Orinda-Moraga rate application are reviewed in the
following section.
Disoosal Exoense
Prior to October 1, 1994, the Company transported solid waste to the ACME Transfer Station
(ACME) at a rate of $75.97 per ton through May 15, 1994, $77.68 per ton from May 16 to
June 30, 1994, and $76.88 per ton effective July 19, 1994. On September 10, 1994, the
Company entered a nine (9) year agreement with West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill, Inc. and

Potrero Hills Landfill, Inc., for disposal of waste at the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill
(WCCSL) (Disposal Agreement). From October 1, 1994, through March 31, 1995, the disposal
rate will be $72.00 per ton. For the remainder of the term of the Disposal Agreement, the rate
will be $31.50 per ton. (The Disposal Agreement allows for an inflationary increase on each
anniversary date of the Agreement). These amounts include all federal, state and county
regulatory fees at the time the Disposal Agreement was executed.
West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill, Inc. will provide certain indemnities as indicated in the text
of the Agreement:
"WCCSL shall indemnify Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, its present Franchisor, the
Cities of Orinda and Moraga, and Contra Costa County (the Indemnified Agencies)
against liability arising with respect to receipt of Acceptable Solid Waste originating in
the Franchise Area which is delivered to the WCCSL or PHL by Orinda-Moraga Disposal
Service hereunder. This indemnification is against any and all liability for closure, post-
closure and remediation of any conditions at the WCCSL and/or the PHL."
The District's proposed actions in setting the rates based on the disposal costs calculated
pursuant to the terms of the WCCSL Disposal Agreement with the Company is based on the
representation of the Company and is not intended to ratify, approve, or disapprove of the
Disposal Agreement.
Interest on Neaative Cash Flow Shortfall Durina Period of Hiaher Disoosal Rate (Januarv 1.
1995 - March 31. 1995)
At the Board workshop on November 17, 1994, the Company requested that it be compensated
for its anticipated negative cash flow during the months of January through March, 1995.
(While customers will be paying rates that reflect the weighted average of the $72/ton and the
$31.50/ton disposal rates, the Company will be paying the $72/ton disposal rate during these
three (3) months.) .
At the end of calendar year 1994, the Company is projected to have a balance account surplus
of $327,000 due the rate payers. In setting collection rates for 1995, this surplus plus actual
interest earned is amortized over the period during which the rates are to be in effect.
However, because this is intended to be the final rate-setting before the expiration of the
Franchise Agreement, projected interest income on the 1994 balance account should be
considered but was not accounted for in the rate application.
In considering the Company's request for compensation of their anticipated negative cash flow,
HF&H netted the cash flow shortfall related to the disposal rate difference with the cash flow

surplus resulting from the balance account. Based on this analysis, the Company is expected
to have sufficient cash flow to cover its anticipated cash flow shortfall during the period of
higher disposal rates. Therefore, no adjustment for additional interest expense is recommended
to be added to the Company's rate application.
Leaal Fees
Acme Landfill Closure Lawsuit
Significant legal expenses related to the Acme Landfill closure lawsuit are included in the rate
application. During the 1993 rate-setting process, the Board established a methodology
whereby approved legal expenses related to the lawsuit would be collected from the Company
by the District and placed into an impound account until a further determination could be made
as to liability for these costs. In previous rate-settings, the District has provided for the
following amounts in the Company's allowable expenses: $44,000 in 1992, $70,000 in 1993
and $66,000 for 1994.
The Company has forecasted ACME-related legal expenses of $112,000 for 1995 and $19,000
for 1996. The projected expense increase of $46,000 for 1995 is due to the case being set
for trial in September, 1995 and, therefore, pre-trial activities are expected to substantially
increase. The projected increase is included in the rate calculation. These revenues will
continue to be held in the District's impound account. At the Board meeting of December 15,
1994, the impound account issue will be addressed in detail and the Board will be asked to
make a decision as to the disposition of the impounded funds.
O.L.S. Lawsuit
In September, 1994, the Company was sued by a.L.s., Inc. for non-performance under two
separate agreements. The first portion of the suit deals with an operating agreement for a
landfill in Oklahoma, and the second deals with a purchase money loan secured by a waste
commitmentto a Northern California landfill. The first contention is, of course, irrelevant to our
franchise. However, the lawsuit contends that the second agreement is related to our franchise
because Orinda Moraga Dispose-All stockholders borrowed money from O.L.S. in order to
purchase the company from the Navones. As security, the Company agreed to dispose of its
solid waste at an O.L.S. landfill in Northern California. The Company contends that its
commitment for disposal of solid waste at the a.L.s. landfill was contingent on a.L.s.
permitting and developing a cost competitive and environmentally safe landfill. The Company
contends that the lawsuit is without merit because a.L.s. has failed to develop a landfill in
Northern California and estimates that the legal expense related to this lawsuit will be between
$50,000 and $100,000.

At the November 17, 1 994 Board workshop, the Company represented that these expenses
should be allowed because at the time this Agreement was signed, disposal rates were rising
significantly at the Acme Landfill, and the Company was trying to locate a lower cost disposal
facility for its customers.
District Counsel has reviewed the legal documents provided and determined thatthe information
currently provided does not lead Staff to conclude that the legal expenses related to this matter
should be borne by the rate payers, and the requested legal expenses are therefore not included
in the rate calculation.
Post-Franchise Activities
During the rate review process, the Company submitted a memo outlining certain estimated
costs related to discontinuing its franchised business operations. Other than this memo, neither
Staff nor HF&H have received any additional support for these cost estimates. The expenses
include:
. Removal of containers from customer locations;
. Six-month rental of storage yard;
. Restoration of Moraga yard to original state (per lease agreement);
. Clean-up of Lafayette yard including moving of Company financial and operational
records to temporary storage yard;
. Staffing of Lafayette office to facilitate commercial and drop-box billings, process cash
receipts, carry out collection activities, and assist with any transition issues;
. Performance of 1995 year-end audit; and
. Potential staff reduction costs including any COBRA or unemployment benefit expenses.
The Company estimates these expenses to be as much as $126,200. The Company's original
rate application included only $30,000 for the clean-up of its Lafayette and Moraga yards.
Neither HF&F nor Staff have found instances where this type of expense has been allowed.
Some jurisdictions have specifically negotiated these expenses out of the franchise. However,
it was more common to find instances, both at the state and local level, where the issue was
not raised. For the purpose of setting 1995 collection rates, certain costs related to continuing
to service the Company's rate payers and closing out activities which have substantially
benefited the rate payers might be considered as allowable expenses. In applying this criteria,
it was determined that cost reimbursement for the following post-franchise activities by the
Company are worthy of further consideration:

. Maintaining the Company's administrative offices in Lafayette for three months after
expiration of the Franchise Agreement. This will allow the Company to prepare its final
commercial and drop-box billings, process cash receipts related to this and previous
billings, perform collection activities on overdue accounts and assist the incoming hauler
with any transition issues. The estimated cost of providing such services for three
months, including rent, staffing, and operating expenses, is approximately $33,000.
. Cleaning up the Company's Moraga recycling facility as' called for in its lease agreement.
The Moraga recycling facility has provided rate payers the opportunity to deliver
recyclable materials, which are not part of the Company's curbside collection program,
to a facility where they can be processed. Some of these materials such as corrugated
cardboard and mixed paper result in significant recycling revenues to the Company and
its rate payers. Additionally, the Company avoids the disposal cost associated with
diverting this tonnage from the waste stream. It is also clear that Bulldog Recycling,
which operates the facility, have also benefited from operating the facility and, as such,
will be asked to incur one-half (1/2) of the projected clean-up costs. The estimated
costs of reimbursing the Company for one-half (1/2) of its projected clean-up costs is
approximately $7,000.
At the Board workshop on November 17, 1994, the Company requested Board reconsideration
of HF&H's and Staff's recommendation and approval of the $126,200 expense for the post-
franchise activities.
In further evaluating the Company's request, HF&H and Staff considered the possibility of the
Company offsetting some of these costs through sale of the Company's remaining owned
assets. HF&H determined the book value of Company owned assets as of December 31, 1995,
will be approximately $69,000 based on the accelerated depreciation method used by the
Company. This amount approximates the Company's estimated expenses of $71,500 for:
removing containers from customer locations; the short-term rental of a yard for the storage of
vehicles, containers, and other equipment; and, the moving of records, furniture, and equipment
from the Lafayette yard once the Company's activities have been completed.
While the book value of the Company's assets and the Company's estimated expenses closely
approximate one another, it should be noted that the accelerated depreciation method
understates the book value of certain Company assets. Furthermore, book value does not
necessarily represent market value. (The market value for the Company's assets may be more
or less than the book value.) However, HF&H and Staff believe it is reasonable to expect that
the proceeds from the sale of the Company's assets will be sufficient to offset expenses related
to certain post-franchise activities which are not included in the $40,000 described above.

Should the Board concur with HF&H's and Staff's position and consider $40,000 to be
reasonable, the Company's calculated rate adjustment would decline by 0.61 %.
Attachment III provides a schedule of current rates, requested rates, and recommended rates
based on the analysis of HF&H both inclusive and not inclusive of $40,000 of post-franchise
expenses.
Rate Aoolication Durina Remaining Term of Franchise Aareement
Rates set by the Board are calculated to be effective for the fourteen (14)-month period January
1, 1995-February 29, 1996. Therefore, it is anticipated the Company will not need to submit
another rate application during the remainder of the Franchise Agreement. It is the intention
of the District Staff to not request a rate application from the Company during the remaining
term of the Franchise Agreement. However, the District Staff recommends reserving the right
to perform a rate review should extraordinary circumstances arise which would justify such a
review. As a result, the District will not request the Company to submit audited financial
statements for the calendar ended December 31, 1995 or for the fourteen (14)-month period
ending February 29, 1996.
Public Notice:
Notice of the public hearing was published in the Contra Costa Times on November 7, 1994.
RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing on December 1, 1994 to consider the application
for a rate increase submitted by Orinda-Moraga Dispose-All, Inc. and establish the Company's
new refuse collection rates effective January 1, 1995; Board decision points related to the
setting of the Company's rates is provided as Attachment II.

RE: Revised Orinda-Moraga Dispose-All Rate Adjusbnent U/21.IM
Dear Roger,
On Monday November 21, 1994, District Staff brought to our attention . letter dated
August 5, 1994, in which the District directed Orlnda-Moraga Dispose-All (Company)
to include an AS 939 surcharge of $0.80 per ton in its application tor all refuse tonnage
originating In the City of Orinda. The AD 939 surcharge is to be appUcable on all
Olinda tonnage for the period July 1, 1994, through February 29, 1996.
The Company did not include these rosts in its rate application nor were we Informed
by the Company of this surcharge during oW' field work at the Company's offices. As
such,. we have not Included expenses related to this surcharge In the Company'.
allowable expenses and rate adjustJnent calculation.
We have calculated the additional expense to be approximately $15,600 based on
projected City of Orinda toMage of 19,500 tons for the period July 1, 1994, through
February 29, 1996. As a result, our mvised recommended rate adjustment is for .
decrease in rates of 19.420/" versus our original recommended rate reduction of 19.66%.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Howevet, we are bringing this
matter to your attention immediately upon oW' being made aware ot this surcharge. U
you should have any questions regarding this IJ!.&tter, please can me or Doug Griffith at

ISSUE: On October 4, 1994 sealed proposals were received and opened for construction
of the Martinez Pumping Stations Improvements Project. The Board of Directors must
authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 60 days of the bid opening.
Authorization of the Board is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute
a professional services agreement in an amount greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: The Martinez Pumping Station is a critical part of the three pumping
station system that conveys waste water from the city of Martinez to the District's waste-
water treatment plant. Reliability, safety, maintainability and capacity deficiencies at the
Martinez, Fairview and Maltby pumping stations were identified in the District-wide
Pumping Station Master Plan (March 1989). The improvements to the Fairview, and
Maltby Pumping Stations were completed in 1 993 with the Martinez Pumping Station
being the last station to be improved.
The Martinez Pumping Station Improvements Project consists of construction of a new 12
mgd pumping station and rehabilitation of existing facilities. The work includes
construction of a new building, installation of pumps, piping, electrical and mechanical
equipment and limited renovation of the existing buildings. It also includes some
landscaping and removal of a capacitor containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). In
order to increase the degree of automation and reduce long term operation and
maintenance cost, an extensive instrumentation system was incorporated into the design
of the pumping station. The reliability of the control, alarm, and telemetry systems was
increased to compensate for reduced operator presence. The project site is shown in
Attachment 1.
The plans and specifications for the project were prepared by G. S. Dodson and
Associates (GSDA). The engineer's estimate for the construction was $4,200,000. This
project was advertised on August 29 and September 6,1994. Eight sealed bids ranging
from $3,194,000 to $3,725,500 were received and publicly opened on October 4, 1994.
A summary of bids received is shown in Attachment 2.

The Engineering Department conducted a technical and commercial review of the bids and
determined that the lowest responsible bidder is Kaweah Construction Company, for the
amount of $3,194,000. The funds required to complete this project, as shown in Attachment
3, are $4,383,000. The total project cost is anticipated to be $4,993,000. Construction of
the improvements at the Martinez Pumping Station is included in the fiscal year 1994-95
Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages CS-1 09 through CS-111. The total project cost
included in the CIB is $5,790,000. The current balance of the Sewer Construction Fund,
minus unspent prior allocations plus projected dependable revenue, will be adequate to fund
this project. A funding summary is presented in Attachment 4.
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEaA), the District
performed an initial study for the improvements at Martinez Pumping Station. Based on the
results of the initial study, a Negative Declaration was prepared. At a public hearing held by
the Board of Directors on March 5,1992, it was determined that this project will not have a
significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Determination was filed with the Contra
Costa County Clerk on March 10, 1992, in compliance with Section 21152 of the Public
Resources Code. No significant changes to the project have occurred since the filing of the
Notice of Determination.
The District will administer the construction contract and will provide resident engineering and
inspection services. Office engineering, including shop drawing review, will be conducted by
GSDA. GSDA was selected because they prepared the plans and specifications for this
project and because they have performed well on previous District projects. A Professional
Services Agreement in the amount of $162,200 has been negotiated with GSDA.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of contract for construction of the Martinez Pumping
Station Improvements Project, District Project No. 4922, in the amount of $3,194,000 to
Kaweah Construction Company as the lowest responsible bidder. Authorize the General
Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a Professional Services Agreement with a cost ceiling of
$162,200 with G. S. Dodson and Associates.

ISSUE: On November 22, 1994, sealed bids were received and opened for construction of the
UV Disinfection Facilities Project, DP 7100. The Board of Directors must authorize award of the
contract or reject bids within 50 days of the bid opening. Authorization by 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: In March 1991, the Board of Directors authorized preparation of a Disinfection
Facilities Plan to evaluate various methods of wastewater disinfection. That Plan recommended
replacement of the existing chlorination/dechlorination system with new ultraviolet (UV)
disinfection facilities. This recommendation was based on the inability of the existing system
to consistently and reliably meet the requirements of the District's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit, as well as the potential for additional fire code regulations
that would mandate expensive modifications of the existing system.
Based in part on the recommendations included in the Disinfection Facilities Plan, the Board of
Directors authorized a pilot study of UV disinfection equipment in May, 1992. Side-by-side
testing was conducted of a horizontal UV disinfection unit (supplied by Trojan Technologies), a
vertical unit (provided by Infilco-Degremont Inc.), a pilot-scale chlorine contact chamber, and a
fouling unit (to determine the impacts of system cleaning). As a result of this testing program,
it was determined that an effective UV disinfection system utilizing either horizontal or vertical
equipment could be designed to disinfect wastewater at the District's treatment plant. In
addition, critical design information concerning the required UV dosage, contact time, number
of lamps, cleaning frequency, and effective lamp life was developed.
The UV Disinfection Pilot Study indicated that the annualized costs of the UV disinfection system
were comparable to an equivalent chlorination/dechlorination facility. At that time, however, it
was determined that the safety and regulatory advantages of the UV system outweighed the
higher costs. The most recent annualized cost comparisons of a UV disinfection system to a
chlorination/dechlorination facility indicate that a UV system's annualized costs will be less than
that of a chlorination/dechlorination facility.
In February 1993, the Board of Directors authorized preparation of the predesign study. The
predesign study finalized the design criteria, defined the location and layout of the UV facilities,
and refined the costs and schedule necessary to complete the project.

Final design of the UV disinfection facilities was authorized by the Board of Directors in October
1993. The project consists of construction of a UV disinfection system (approximately 7,500
lamps); a lamp cleaning building; a bridge crane; a new junction structure; two hypochlorite
storage and distribution stations; a new electrical substation; and associated piping, mechanical,
civil, electrical, and instrumentation systems.
The UV Disinfection Facilities Project was advertised on October 18 and 25, 1994. Six bids
ranging from $8,690,000 to $9,700,000 were received and publicly opened on November 22,
1994. A summary of these bids is shown in Attachment 1. The Plant Engineering Division has
conducted a technical and commercial evaluation of these bids and has determined that Kaweah
Construction Company is the lowest responsible bidder with an amount of $8,690,000. The
engineer's pre bid estimate for this project was $10,691,000.
The District will administer the construction contract and will provide resident engineering and
inspection services. Montgomery Watson was selected to provide shop drawing review, office
engineering, and programmable-logic control (PLC) programming services. Montgomery Watson
prepared the facilities plan, the pilot study report, the predesign report, the project drawings, and
technical specifications for this project; in addition, Montgomery Watson has performed well on
previous District projects. A professional services agreement not to exceed $550,000 will be
negotiated with Montgomery Watson.
This project is included in the 1994-95 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages TP-15
through TP-17. The total project cost estimate in the CIB is $13,224,000. The current total
project cost estimate, as shown in the Post-Bid/Preconstruction Estimate (Attachment 2) is
$13,261,000.
Based on a review of potential environmental effects, staff determined that this project is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines
Section 18.2, since it involves a minor alteration to existing wastewater facilities with little or
no increase in capacity. The Board of Directors' approval of this project on October 7, 1993
constituted a finding of agreement with this determination, and a Notice of Exemption was filed
on October 11, 1 993.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize award of a construction contract in the amount of $8,690,000 for construction
of the UV Disinfection Facilities Project, DP 7100, to Kaweah Construction Company, the
lowest responsible bidder.
2. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a professional services
agreement not to exceed $550,000 with Montgomery Watson to provide services during
construction of the UV Disinfection Facilities Project, DP 7100.

ISSUE: Board approval of the Lakewood Sewer Improvement Project is required prior to the filing
of a Notice of Exemption under the District's California Environmental Quality Act (CEOA)
Guidelines.
BACKGROUND: The proposed project will rehabilitate or replace 18,600 feet of main and trunk
sewers (8 to 15 inches in diameter) in the Lakewood area of incorporated and unincorporated
Walnut Creek. The project also involves the abandonment of 1,300 feet of mains located in
difficult-to-access backyard easements and the relocation of 16 laterals. A combination of
trenching and pipe-bursting construction methods are planned. The location of the Lakewood area
is shown in Figure 1 and the sewer alignments are shown on Figure 2.
The sewers in this area are among the most maintenance-prone and hydraulically deficient in the
District. The goals of the project are to correct hydraulic deficiencies, minimize maintenance
requirements, and reduce the probability of future overflows in a cost-effective manner.
A temporary staging area for construction materials and equipment is proposed by District staff
for a City of Walnut Creek-owned site on the south side of Marshall Road in front of Indian Valley
Elementary School. If the project contractor chooses to use this site, the District will require the
project contractor to abide by the operating conditions of a "Special Use Permit" which the District
intends to obtain from the City of Walnut Creek.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from CEOA under the following District CEOA
Guidelines: Section 18.3 - replacement or rehabilitation of existing facilities where the new
structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the
same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced (pipelines); and Section 18.5 - minor
temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment (staging area).
The Board's approval of this project will constitute a finding that the project is exempt from CEOA.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Lakewood Sewer Improvement Project (DP 4805).
