Engineering Division
ISSUE: Board authorization is required for the Board President and Secretary of the District to sign
a utilities agreement with Caltrans.
BACKGROUND: To accommodate construction of the 1-680/SR-24 freeway widening and
interchange modifications, Caltrans has requested the District to relocate a number of its sewers.
To date, Phases I and II of these sewer relocations have been completed with Phase III currently
being designed. On May 24, 1991, Caltrans provided the District with another preliminary plan
to reconstruct the interchanges from Newell Avenue to Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek.
Existing District facilities in the area of Oakland Boulevard and Oakvale Road between Mt. Diablo
Boulevard and Ygnacio Valley Road will be affected by this phase of the Caltrans project and will
have to be relocated.
To receive reimbursement for costs associated with the planning, design, and construction of the
relocation, the District must execute a utility agreement with Caltrans. As in the case of the
Phase III agreement, this agreement is being executed during the early stages of design to reduce
District carrying costs associated with Caltrans paying for improvements in arrears. The modified
agreement allows the District to bill monthly. The total project cost is estimated at $1,434,000.
This compares to $1,489,000 shown in the 1991-92 Capital Improvement Plan. Caltrans has
accelerated the project; therefore, the Phase IV relocations are not included in the 1991-92 Capital
Improvement Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Board President and Secretary of the District to sign a utilities
agreement with Caltrans for the 1-680/SR-24 Sewer Relocation, Phase IV, District Project
No. 4824.

Russell B. Leavitt, Planning Assistant
Engineering Department/Planning Division
ISSUE: In accordance with the California Environmental Ouality Act (CEOA) and the District
CEOA Guidelines, the Final EIR for the proposed A-Line Sewer Overflow Protection Project must
be certified as being legally adequate before the Board of Directors can consider approval of the
project.
BACKGROUND: The District proposes to obtain right of way to construct a new relief interceptor
sewer parallel to the existing A-Line Interceptor. The proposed A-Line Relief Interceptor, currently
scheduled to be constructed between the years 2004 and 2009, would extend approximately six
miles through Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, and unincorporated Contra Costa County to
the District's wastewater treatment plan. The purpose of constructing this interceptor is to
minimize the potential for sewer overflows in these communities during wet weather events.
Certification of Final EIR
As part of the planning process for any new facility which may have a significant environmental
impact, the District must prepare an EIR that conforms to guidelines established by the District
pursuant to CEOA. Before approving a project, the Board of Directors must first certify that the
EIR is legally adequate.
The Final EIR for the project consists of two documents: the Draft EIR dated March 1991, and
the Final EIR Response to Comments Addendum dated July 1991. Both documents were prepared
by Environmental Science Associates based on CEOA and District EIR guidelines. Although the
Final EIR addressed both the Pleasant Hill and A-Line relief interceptors, the proposed action deals
only with the A-Line project.
The Draft EIR was distributed to state and local government agencies that might be affected by
the project. Draft EIRs were also sent to individuals and to community and special interest groups
, that expressed an interest in the project. Summaries of the EIR were distributed to individuals
who were active in the public participation portion of the project planning process. A community
forum to receive comments was held in Pleasant Hill on May 13, 1991. A transcript was made
of the forum and is included in the Final EIR. Written comments were received from 22 agencies,
groups, businesses, or citizens during the comment period for the Draft EIR. These comments,
along with responses, appear in the Final EIR.

Engineering Department, Planning Division
ISSUE: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the District Code,
it is appropriate for the Board of Directors to approve the project and adopt Conditions of
Approval, Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program for the A-Line Sewer Overflow Protection Project.
BACKGROUND: The District proposes to obtain right of way to construct a new relief interceptor
sewer parallel to the existing A-Line Interceptor. The proposed A-Line Relief Interceptor, currently
scheduled to be constructed between the years 2004 and 2009, would extend approximately six
miles through Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, and unincorporated Contra Costa County to
the District's wastewater treatment plant. The purpose of constructing this interceptor is to
minimize the potential for sewer overflows in these communities during wet weather events.
Route Selection
The EIR for this project addresses, in thorough detail, the environmental impacts of constructing
the proposed A-Line Relief Interceptor along anyone of 9 route segments. It is the intention of
the District to eventually narrow these 9 segments down to one continuous pipeline route based
on the results of the EIR analysis and any other supplemental environmental analysis, the public
participation process, right-of-way negotiations, and design work.
At this time, due to the uncertainties associated with designing and constructing this project more
than ten years hence, District staff recommends that the Board authorize pursing acquisition of
easements (or options for easements) for all of the route segments analyzed in the EIR. These
acquisitions would provide the District with maximum flexibility by protecting all possible routes
for the future pipeline construction.
Prior to District Board consideration of the final pipeline route, District staff will notify the public
of the proposed preferred route, conduct any supplemental environmental analysis necessary, hold
any required public hearings, and otherwise comply with any applicable environmental statues and
regulations.

Easements or easement options obtained but not used for this project may be sold, allowed to
expire, or retained by the District. Use of the easements for any project other than the A-Line
Sewer Overflow Protection Project would require separate environmental analysis and District
Board approval.
Assuming the Board has certified the Final EIR as legally adequate, District staff requests that the
Board take these additional actions:
1. Approve the A-Line Sewer Overflow Protection Project.
2. Adopt Conditions of Approval.
3. Adopt Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, including a
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
A resolution approving the project is attached for the Board's consideration (Attachment 1).
Recommended Conditions of Approval, Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations, and a draft Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program have been prepared for
Board review (Attachments 2, 3, and 4).
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the project and adopt the Conditions of Approval, Findings of Fact,
and Statement of Overriding Consideration, and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
for the A-Line Sewer Overflow Protection Project.

UTHORIZE AGREEMENT
Engineering Department/
Engineering Division
ISSUE: On September 24, 1991, sealed proposals were received and opened for the construction
of the Martinez Renovation Project, District Project No. 4768. The Board of Directors must
authorize award of contract or reject bids within 50 days of the opening of bids. Authorization
by the Board is required to execute consulting engineering agreements of amounts greater than
$50,000.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Directors authorized preparation of a facilities plan for upgrading
the Martinez portion of the District system in 1 987. The facilities planning effort specified the
Berrellesa Street sewer main to be renovated to correct numerous structural problems and reduce
maintenance. This area of the renovation is generally on Berrellesa Street between Ward Street
and C Street. The remainder of the project is divided among 17 other small sites that the
Collection System Operations Department had noted as having access problems or structural
problems. (See Attachment 1 for a site map). The project contains approximately 2,000 feet of
24-inch sewers; 2,500 feet of 21-inch sewers; 775 feet of 12-inch sewers; 600 feet of 10-inch
sewers; 3,600 feet of 8-inch sewers; and 54 manholes. Also, lower laterals will be replaced to
near the property line and will be fitted with a new two-way c1eanout and an overflow protection
device.
Plans and specifications for the project were completed by John Carollo Engineers, and the project
was advertised on August 20 and 26, 1991. Eleven bids ranging from $1,511,585 to
$2,433,275 were received on September 24, 1991. A summary of bids is shown in Attachment
2. The Engineering Department conducted a technical and commercial evaluation of the bids and
concluded that the lowest responsible bidder is Hess Construction Co. Inc. for the bid amount of
$1,511,585. The engineer's estimate is $2,330,679. The funds required to complete this project
are $2,202,323, as shown in Attachment 3. The total project cost is anticipated to be
$2,571,323.
District staff will administer the contract and provide inspection services. Resident engineering
will be provided by James M. Montgomery Engineers, Inc. (JMM). A cost reimbursement
agreement has been negotiated with JMM with a cost ceiling of $100,000.

September 25, 1991
The project construction area consists of numerous old and unreinforced masonry-type structures.
Due to concern of potential damage claims, District staff recommends a preconstruction damage
assessment of the immediate construction vicinity to record the existing condition to a reasonable
extent. A cost-reimbursement agreement has been negotiated with Bryan Murphy Associates with
a cost ceiling of $85,000.
The Martinez Renovation Project is included in the 1991-92 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB)
(pages C-32 through C-34). The 1991-92 CIB estimated total project cost is $1,934,500. This
budget estimate does not include costs for the small sites which were added to the project after
the CIB estimate was prepared. The revised total project cost, including these additional project
elements, is $2,571,323.
This project has been evaluated by staff and is determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 15302, since it
involves replacement or reconstruction of existing sewer facilities. A Notice of Exemption was
filed with the County Clerk on July 25, 1990.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize award of contract for the amount of $1,511,585 for construction of the Martinez
Renovation Project, District Project No. 4768, to Hess Construction Co. Inc., as the lowest
responsible bidder.
2. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a cost-reimbursement agreement
with a cost ceiling of $100,000 with James M. Montgomery Engineers, Inc.
3. Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a cost-reimbursement agreement
with a cost ceiling of $85,000 with Bryan Murphy Associates.

ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer
to execute professional services agreements for amounts greater than $50,000.
BACKGROUND: On May 23, 1991, sealed proposals were received and opened for the
construction of the Headworks Facilities Expansion Project, District Project No. 20069. The low
bid exceeded the engineer's estimate and the funds designated for the project in the Capital
Improvement Budget. On July 8, 1991, the Board authorized funds to conduct a value
engineering (VE) study on the project. The VE study determined that by redesigning portions of
the project and rebidding, a substantial cost savings could be realized. With this in mind, the
Board rejected all bids on August 1, 1991.
For the past several weeks, the design consultant, James M. Montgomery Engineers (JMM), and
District staff have refined the VE study results and have concluded that the estimated net savings
for the redesigned project is approximately $6,000,000, which includes the cost to modify the
design. This equates to an anticipated construction cost of approximately $22,000,000, as
compared to the previous low bid of $27,869,000. Construction of the redesigned project is
scheduled for July 1992 and is anticipated to be completed by October 1994.
An agreement has been negotiated with JMM to modify the design for $775,900. JMM has
agreed to complete the redesign at cost and absorb previous expenditures of approximately
$200,000. These expenditures include additional costs required to finalize the initial design and
the cost to develop the engineer's construction cost estimate. Attachment I shows the total costs
to modify the design.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute an agreement for
$775,900 with James M. Montgomery Consulting Engineers, Inc. to modify the final design of
the Headworks Facilities Expansion Project, District Project No. 20069.

Engineering Department/Planning Division
ISSUE: The Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager-Chief
Engineer to allocate more than $25,000 from the Treatment Plant Program Contingency
Account.
BACKGROUND: The RWQCB is in the process of establishing stringent new effluent limits as
part of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin (Basin Plan). In the
Basin Plan, dischargers with shallow water outfalls will be given discharge standards nine times
more stringent than dischargers with deep water outfalls. A deep water outfall is defined as
one achieving 10: 1 dilution or better all the time. Based upon preliminary outfall dilution
modeling which has been conducted on the District's outfall, the RWQCB is calling into
question whether or not the District qualifies as a deep water discharger.
As part of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board's (RWQCB) Effluent Toxicity
Characterization Program, the District has conducted chronic and acute bioassay tests on the
Wastewater Treatment Plant effluent. These bioassay tests have shown consistent acute
toxicity to Ceriodaohnia (water fleas) and intermittent chronic toxicity to Echinoderms (sea
urchins) .
Because of the discovery of effluent toxicity and the questions regarding outfall dilution, the
Planning Division proposes that a Secondary Treatment Toxicity Project be conducted. The
purpose of this project will be to provide information the District will need to decide what
facilities will be required to meet new effluent standards. Because of the recent timing of these
events, the need for the Secondary Treatment Toxicity Project was not anticipated in the 1991-
92 Capital Improvement Budget. Therefore, staff is recommending a Board contingency
authorization to fund the project.

This project will investigate two approaches to toxicity reduction. In the first approach, the
District will retain a consultant to perform detailed computer modeling of outfall dilution using
simulated plant flows and tidal conditions. The modeling will define the frequency and duration
of occurrences of less than 10: 1 dilution. The results of the study will provide staff with
information to present to the RWQCB to determine whether or not the District meets 10:1
dilution requirements. If it is determined that the District does not meet 10: 1 dilution, then the
District will consider either extending the underwater outfall diffuser to meet RWQCB dilution
requirements or requesting a waiver of the 10: 1 dilution requirements.
The second approach to toxicity reduction is to evaluate the effects of advanced biological
treatment on toxicity reduction. The District is currently running the Wastewater Treatment
Plant (WWTP) in a split mode for the Industrial Water Reclamation Project. One third of the
wastewater flow is being treated in an advanced treatment mode (nitrification) and two thirds
of the flow is being treated in a conventional treatment mode. The split plant mode offers a
unique opportunity to determine if advanced biological treatment can reduce or eliminate either
chronic or acute toxicity. Under this element of the Secondary Treatment Toxicity Project,
bioassays will be run on nitrified and conventional effluents to determine the effectiveness of
advanced treatment.
The Planning Division will also seek to identify the source of the toxicity in the collection
system in order to develop a means of controlling toxicity. This element will be handled
separately as a Source Control matter and will be funded from the O&M Budget.
A detailed breakdown of the Secondary Treatment Toxicity Project cost and scope is presented
in Attachment A. The total cost for this project is estimated at $185,000. An initial $25,000
contingency allocation has previously been approved by the General Manager-Chief Engineer
to begin the work on the outfall dilution analysis and the effluent toxicity testing.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to allocate $160,000
from the Treatment Plant Program Contingency Account to the Secondary Treatment Toxicity
Project (DP 20123).

ISSUE: The District Board of Directors' adoption of a resolution is required for the purchase
of real property by the District:
BACKGROUND: At the May 19, 1987 Board Meeting, the Board authorized the District's
real property negotiators to pursue the purchase of the parcel of land, Assessor's Parcel 159-
150-048. The parcel comprises approximately 2.07 acres commonly known as 4797 Imhoff
Drive, Martinez, California. The owner of the property is RMC Lonestar and they operated
a concrete batch plant on the property. The property was put up for sale in July 1991.
The negotiated purchase price in the agreement for the property is $724,800. This figure
includes any and all costs for the real property, goodwill and relocation. RMC Lonestar will
remove all improvements from the property excepting the concrete pads and foundations.
The total project cost will be $786,000, which is within the authority limits given to the
Board's negotiator. The total project costs include escrow fees, title insurance,
environmental assessment, legal fees, general cleanup, fencing, signage and contingency.
The purpose of this purchase is to avoid future use of this site in a manner which may be
incompatible with the possible nuisances associated with treatment plant operations. The
District has actively pursued acquisition of other surrounding parcels in order to ensure a
buffer zone of acceptable uses between the treatment plant and neighboring properties to
mitigate possible noise and odor impacts. This project is included in the 1991-92 Capital
Improvement Budget on page GI-6.
This project has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEOA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 5.2(b)(3) since
it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this acquisition will have a
significant effect on the environment. The Board of Directors' approval of this project will
constitute a finding of agreement with this determination unless otherwise indicated. A
Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk. Further appropriate environmental
analysis will be conducted if, in the future, the District considers using the property for other
currently unknown purposes.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of Assessor's Parcel 159-150-048 from
RMC Lonestar in the amount of $724,800, in accordance with the Real Estate Purchase
Agreement and adoptt]1e attached Resolution.
