ISSUE: The District has received petitions for annexation for 10 parcels as shown on the
attached tabulation and maps. It is appropriate to initiate formal annexation proceedings with
the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCOI.
BACKGROUND: LAFCO has requested that the District submit no more than 10 separate areas
under anyone proceeding to avoid overloading their schedule. The subject areas are generally
located in Danville, Lafayette, Martinez, Orinda and Walnut Creek. LAFCO has indicated that
they may add adjoining unannexed parcels to the separate areas we submit to eliminate islands
or straighten boundary lines. The District will have to hold a public hearing to consider
annexation of any parcel added by LAFCO.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution of Application for the annexation of properties to
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District under District Annexation 119.

Administrative/Solid Waste
ISSUE: The Source Reduction and Recycling Elements (SR&RE) for Orinda, Moraga, Danville and
Lafayette have been prepared, as required under AB 939, and are ready for submission to these
cities for their approval.
BACKGROUND: AB 939 mandates that 25 percent of all solid waste shall be diverted from
landfills by 1995 and 50 percent by 2000. AB 939 requires cities and counties to prepare a
SR&RE which is a planning document that describes how these state-mandated goals will be
achieved. Some of the solid waste diversion programs that our franchised cities are required to
implement will impact the level of collection service and affect garbage rates. The Preliminary
Draft SR&RE document is being presented to the Board for authorization to distribute it to the
franchised cities for approval and adoption. No formal action is required of the Board to approve
the SR&RE.
Since the District franchises refuse collection and manages diversion programs for Orinda,
Moraga, Danville and Lafayette, these cities and District staff mutually agreed that the District
should be responsible for preparing their SR&RE. The cities' resolutions evidencing the
agreements are shown in Exhibit A. Cal Recovery Systems, Inc. was retained to write the
SR&RE and has worked closely with District staff, our franchised cities and their respective
haulers to obtain input from all agencies that will be directly affected by plan implementation.
Cal Recovery Systems, Inc. also met with the District's Solid Waste Committee, Board Members
Susan McNulty Rainey and John Clausen, to obtain their input on the draft SR&RE. Because all
four SR&REs are similar, only the Danville SR&RE is being presented to the Board for comments
(Exhibit B). Minor differences in the plans will be discussed in Cal Recovery Systems, Inco's
presentation at this Board meeting.
All four Preliminary Draft SR&REs will, upon Board authorization, be released to the respective
cities for their approval and adoption. They will also be submitted to the county AB 939 Local
Task Force and other local agencies for review, as required by AB 939 regulations. Submittal
of the Preliminary Draft SR&RE to these agencies for public review initiates the AB 939 approval
process. George Savage of Cal Recovery Systems, Inc. will include an overview of the AB 939
approval process in his presentation.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive a presentation by Cal Recovery Systems, Inc. on the SR&RE and
provide comments and guidance; authorize staff to release the Preliminary Draft SR&RE to the
four cities, for which the District franchises refuse collection, for approval and adoption.

INITIATING DEPT.lDIV.
Administrative/Risk Management
ISSUE: The Board of Directors' approval is required for the purchase of equipment for the District
Wellness Program.
BACKGROUND: On March 19, 1990, the Board of Directors approved the initiation of a District
Wellness Program which has the objectives of encouraging employee healthy lifestyles, reducing
injuries, and containing health care costs. One phase of the program presented at that time was
to establish appropriate exercise facilities at both the CSO and Treatment Plant. An amount of
$25,000 was included in the 1990-91 equipment budget for this purpose; however, the Board
requested that the staff obtain approval prior to the purchase of the specific equipment. This
approval is being requested at this time.
The Wellness Program consists of a comprehensive group of on-going elements geared to
improving employee health. Included in this are smoking cessation support, body composition
and weight management, low back care, cancer risk reduction, nutrition education, exercise, and
aerobics. Some of the ways these are accomplished are through life style classes, periodic
monitoring of blood pressure, cholesterol, body fat; and the use of exercise rooms, which are
being established at the CSOD and Treatment Plant. At present, however, proper equipment for
these rooms is lacking which limits both the quality and number of the individual exercise
programs which can be conducted. As of this date, 170 of the permanent District employees
have signed up for the Wellness Program and have participated in the initial health screening.
Over a hundred of these have indicated an interest in an exercise/weight management program.
The staff now requests approval to move ahead with the purchase of the first increment of
equipment for the exercise facilities at a cost not to exceed $25,000. This would provide a
stationary bicycle, stair climber, and basic weight cluster at each location. This heavy-duty
equipment is proposed because of the anticipated high and long-term usage. Employees would
use the equipment on their own time and after appropriate training. Other local organizations
using or ordering similar equipment are Kaiser Hospital, Contra Costa County Wellness Center,
and the Contra Costa Transit Authority. The attached exhibit shows the 1990-91 equipment
increment and the proposed list for 1991-92. The staff will return to the Board for approval to
purchase the second group when the usage of the first increment so indicates.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of the initial equipment for the CSO and Treatment
Plant Wellness Program exercise facilities.

SUBMITTED BY
Munawar Husain, Associate Engineer
INITIA TING DEPT.lDIV.
Engineering Department/Construction Division
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the M-2 Parallel Force Main Project and the work
is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The contract work included installing approximately 4,200 feet of 20-inch
diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) force main in an alignment parallel to the existing M-2
force main. In addition, a 1 ,500-foot section of the existing M-2 force main, located across the
IT property where the history of failures has been most frequent, was replaced. Auxiliary
improvements included new utility lines to provide for reclaimed water, electrical, and telemetry
service from the treatment plant to the Maltby Pumping Station (see attached location map).
See 1990-1991 Capital Improvement Budget, pages CS-82 and CS-83 for additional information.
The contract was awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, Fee Construction, Inc., of Livermore
on June 21, 1990, by the District Board. Fee Construction, Inc. was issued a Notice to Proceed
on July 30, 1990. The original contract completion date was January 27, 1991. Beneficial use
of the new facilities was obtained on January 25, 1991. The Board was advised at the October
18, 1990, Board meeting that the contractor unexpectedly encountered a hazardous environment
problem while working on IT property. The General Manager was subsequently authorized to
approve a change order exceeding $50,000 to address the problem. Staff will provide an update
on the status of resolution of this problem when this agenda item is being considered.
It is appropriate to accept the contract work at this time. A detailed 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 M-2 Parallel Force Main Project (District
Project 4610) and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion.

SUBMITTED BY

Ronald Klimczak, Senior En ineer
artment/Construction Divi i n
ISSUE: A proposed settlement has been reached with Dillingham Construction Company on its
claim for extra costs incurred on the Dewatering System Improvements Project. The Board of
Directors must approve settlement agreements exceeding $10,000.
BACKGROUND: The contract for the Dewatering System Improvements Project was awarded
to Dillingham Construction Company on March 3, 1988. The contract work included the
installation of four new District-furnished dewatering centrifuges as well as auxiliary facilities
such as odor control, polymer feed and sludge blending systems. The original cost of the
construction contract was $5,878,000 (the centrifuges were prepurchased at an additional cost
of $1,591,041). Change Orders totaling $193,211 were executed and agreed upon during the
contract period. The original contract completion date was January 15, 1990. The District
began using the new centrifuges in the spring of 1990 and substantial completion of punch list
items occurred in October 1990. Due to the late completion of the project work and the
unwillingness of the contractor to both request and justify any contract time extension until after
project completion, the District assessed liquidated damages in the amount of $220,500 (105
calendar days at $2,100 per day).
On June 28, 1990, the contractor submitted a claim for additional compensation in the amount
of $387,204.87 for extended overhead costs due to alleged District-caused project delays and
related extra cost issues. Additionally, the contractor's claim included demand for the return of
all withheld liquidated damages by alleging that a contract time extension was justified.
The District hired a consultant (CH2M Hill) to review Dillingham's claim. CH2M Hill performed
a critical path analysis of project delays. After considerable discussion with the contractor
regarding the impact of needed contract changes during the course of construction, the degree
of contractor responsibility in controlling subcontractor and supplier performance and other
related issues, a proposed settlement was reached.
The financial terms of the settlement agreement, which have been recently accepted by the
contractor, are listed in Attachment A. The settlement basically provides that the District will
release all retained liquidated damages ($220,500) and pay an additional $78,667 for all
remaining outstanding issues including extra work, un billed/completed contract work, etc. Staff
believes this Agreement is a fair resolution of the dispute and is in the best interest of the
District to accept.

INITIA TING DEPT.lDIV.
r
ISSUE: Daniel and Sandra DeBusschere of 108 Estates Drive, Orinda, have filed a claim for
$1,100 against the District alleging responsibility for damage to a vehicle driven by their son,
Derek DeBusschere. Claim denials require action by the Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND: On January 7, 1991, a District 1-ton utility vehicle and a 1969 station wagon
driven by Mr. Derek DeBusschere approached each other at a curve on Scenic Drive, Orinda.
As they passed, they sideswiped causing damage to the side of each vehicle. A City of Orinda
police officer investigated and gave the cause of the accident in the official report as follows:
"This accident was the result of the reduced roadway width of Scenic Drive near the curve.
Both drivers noticed the other vehicle when they were in close proximity of each other. Since
there were no shoulders along Scenic Drive, neither vehicle could move to the right. When the
vehicles passed each other, they sideswiped causing the damage."
The staff recommends that the claim be denied because the District was not determined to be
at fault in this accident.
RECOMMENDATION: Deny the claim for $1,100 from Daniel and Sandra DeBusschere for
alleged automobile damage and refer it to staff for further action as needed.
