CONSENT CALENDAR 1 SUBJECT QUITQAIM SEWER EASEMENTS TO STEVEN G. ABBOTT, ET UX, AND TO JOHN lURNER, JR., ET UX, JOO 690, LOTS SO AND 51, LAS LOMITAS SUBDIVISION - UNIT 1, DANVILLE AREA DATE December 1, 1989 TYPE OF ACTION APPROVE QUITQAIM OF EASEMENT SUBMITTED BY Dennis Hall Associate Engineer INITIATING DEPT/DIV Engineering Department/ Construction Division ISSUE: Mr. & Mrs. Abbott and Mr. & Mrs. Turner have requested the District to quitclaim the subject easements which lie within their respective properties. BACKGROUND: In 1955 the District took over the existing sewer system which served the Las Lanitas Subdivision. It was later discovered that no easements existed for the sewer system. In 1977 the Di stri ct recorded an "Easement Decl arati on" which claimed that the District had prescriptive rights for all the existing sewers in the subdivision. The easements which were establ ished by the "Easement Declaration" are considered to have been created at no cost. One of the existing sewer lines crossed Lot 51 and extended into Lot 50 as shown on the attached map. Early this year Mr. Abbott, owner of Lot 51, requested the District to permit him to build a house addition over the public sewer crossing his property. After reviewing existing site conditions, staff took the position that the District would be best served if the public sewer located on Lots 50 and 51 were abandoned and new side sewers were constructed for each residence thus el iminating a public sewer in an easement area. Mr. Abbott cooperated with the District by abandoning the public sewer line and installing a rodding inlet in Gil Blas Road. Each resi dence was then reconnected to the exi sti ng publ ic sewer located in Gil Bl as and Lanitas Roads. The sewer easements along the abandoned sewer are no longer needed and can now be quitcl aimed. All costs for the abandonment work and new side sewer construction were paid for by Mr. Abbott. This project has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt fran the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Quitclaim Deeds to Steven G. Abbott, et ux, and to John Turner, et ux, Job 690, authorize the President of the District Board of Directors and the Secretary of the Di stri ct to execute sai d Quitcl aim Deed, and authorize the Quitclaim Deed to be recorded.

Engineering Department/ Construction Division lliQE: The county requires a "Consent to Dedication" whenever an area dedicated for public road purposes encroaches upon an existing easement. BACKGROUND: A portion of Subdivision 7188 is being dedicated to the county for public road purposes. The dedicated area will be used by Danville as a result of the realignment of Camino Tassajara. An existing public sewer easement is located within the dedicated area. Since the easement precedes the dedication of the public road, a consent to dedication is needed. A standard consent document will be used in which the District retains prior rights. This project has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Consent to Dedication to Contra Costa County, Subdivision 7188, Job No. 3465, authorize the President of the District Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute said document and authorize its recording by Contra Costa County.

Administrative ISSUE: A need exists to update the designated positions contained in Exhibit A of the District's Conflict of Interest Code. BACKGR<lJND: Since the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Confl ict of Interest Code was adopted in 1976, the District has undergone organizational changes resulting from District growth and centralization of functions. In some cases, responsibilities of various positions in the District change with regard to discretionary duties and decision making which could foreseeably have material effect on a financial interest. For that reason, it has been the practi ce of the Di stri ct to rev i eN the desi gnated positions on an annual basis and to amend the District Confl ict of Interest Code as necessitated by any changed circumstances, including the creation of new positions and relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions. Exhibit A, Designated Positions and Disclosure Categories of the District Conflict of Interest Code, was revieNed by staff and amendments have been proposed to reflect the current responsibilities. It is recommended that the Maintenance Supervisor position be deleted from that list. It is recommended that the position of Operations Support Supervisor be added to the list of designated positions. The responsibilities of the Operations Support Supervisor in the Collection System Operations Department include investigation, eval uation, and recommendation with regard to cl aims. It is recommended th at the posi ti ons of Seni or AccountantlInternal Audi tor and Accounti ng Supervisor also be added to the list of designated positions. Duties of both of these positions include making decisions with regard to the District's investment funds and responsibility for financial transactions. Finally, staff recommends that the position of Source Control Inspector and Administrative Analyst be added to the list of designated positions. The duties of the Source Control Inspector include inspection, sampling, and enforcement activities. The Administrative Analyst's responsibil ities incl ude analyses and development of the Capital Improvement Budget, Plan, and rates. If the Board approves the proposed amendment to Exhibit A of the District Conflict of Interest Code, it must then be submitted to the Board of Supervisors, the code revieNing body. The amendment takes effect upon its approval by the Board of Supervisors. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution amending Exhibit A, Designated Positions and Disclosure Categories of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Cenfl ict of Interest Code, and authorize the Secretary of the District to submit a COpy of said code amendment to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors for approval. /.

BACKGROUND: In July of 1989 the District completed a comprehensive Pumping Station Master Plan which evaluated the reliability, efficiency, and capacity of the District's 18 pumping stations. The Master Plan identified the need to rehabil itate both the Ori nda Crossroads and Moraga Pump stations to improve reliability and increase capacity. Both the Orinda Crossroads and Moraga pumping stations are located in EBMUD drinking water watershed service areas. Improvements are needed to both pump stations to provide adequate emergency power and pumping capacity. In addition to addressing reliability and capacity problems, the rehabilitation projects include improvements to the gas detection/ventilation system, new electrical gear and flow monitoring equipment. The improvements will be staged over a 10-year period. Staff evaluated proposals and interviewed three Bay Area consulting firms and selected John Carollo Engineers (JCE) for the predesign of the Orinda Crossroads/Moraga Near Term Improvements. JCE demonstrated an in depth knowl edge of the pumping stations, developed several new cost savings alternatives, and is familiar with District design standards. A cost reimbursement contract has been negotiated with JCE with a cost ceiling of $213,598. Under the proposed agreement, JCE will provide a predesign of the Orinda Crossroads/Moraga Pump Station Improvements and will also develop a phased implementation program. A separate agreement for the final design of the improvements will be negotiated at the completion of the predesign. The proposed Orinda Crossroads and Moraga Pumping Stations Rehabilitation is included in the 1989-90 Capital Improvement Budget (pages CS-128 through CS- 130). The estimated total project cost is $16,000,000. CEQA considerations (Negative Declaration or Categorical Exemption) will be addressed during the final design.

BACKGROUND: In December 1986, the District selected Environmental Science Associates, Inc. (ESA) to prepare the EIR for the Contra Costa Blvd. and "A" Line Rel ief Interceptor Projects. These projects are incl uded in the 1989 Ten-Year Capital Improvement Pl an, begi nni ng on page CS-1. The estimated total project cost is $83 mill ion. The Contra Costa Blvd. rel ief sewer is estimated to cost $31 million and the "A" Line relief sewer is estimated to cost $52 million. These are the two largest projects in the District's Capital Improvement Plan. These projects have several major, potential environmental impacts, including growth inducement, creek habitat disturbance, construction disruption of neighborhoods and commercial areas (such as parts of Contra Costa Blvd.), and right-of-way acquisition complications. The only viable routes for most of this relief sewer work are along creeks or beneath residential and commercial streets. Installation of the proposed relief sewers (some as large as seven feet in di ameter) may substanti ally di sturb flood control creek channel s or close some residential streets for up to a week. By early 1988, ESA staff had prepared a Notice of Preparation, reviewed project reports, participated in EIR scoping sessions, worked with District staff and Di stri ct consul tants, contacted agency representatives, conducted fi el d work, developed popul ati on proj ecti ons, and began prepa ri ng the Admi ni strati ve Draft EIR. In early 1988, District staff di rected ESA to postpone work on the EIR to allow coordination with the Treatment Plant Headworks Replacement Project. Subsequent judicial decisions, input received from the EIR scoping sessions, the work of the District's engineering and environmental consultants, and the emergence of the Treatment Plant Headworks Replacement Project required increases to the EIR scope of work. A court judgment reached on a major wastewater proj ect EIR for the Tri-Vall ey Wastewater Authority (TWA) has found that such EIRs must thoroughly address the environmental effects, alternatives, and mitigation measures associated with the growth inducing and cumulative impact aspects of the project. The EIR must also address the construction and operational details of any routing alternative which might become the preferred route.

REL IEF INTERCEPTOR PROJ ECT & "A" LINE RIGHT-OF-WAY AOlUISITION PROJECT EIR (DP 4271) POSITION PAPER PAGE 2 OF DATE 4 December 4. 1989 The EIR scoping sessions and Facilities Plan identified strong community concerns regarding the environmental impacts noted above. Technical coordination with the Treatment Plant Headworks Replacement Project, which will expand the headworks to accommodate greater wet weather flows, has revealed additional design complications for both the "A" Line and Contra Costa Blvd. projects. An intense engi neeri ng effort was 1 aunched by a team of the Contra Costa Blvd./"A" Line and Headworks project members to address the EIR and technical issues which had arisen. By September 1989, the project scope had been more clearly defined and District staff directed ESA to resume work on the ErR and address new project elements that have come about as a result of the additional engineering analysis. These include analyses of four alternative route alignments: two for the Contra Costa Blvd. relief sewer project and two for the "A" Line relief sewer project (rather than one for each). Wider route alignment analysis areas also have been included to provide for flexibility during design and constructi on. Fi gure 1 presents the proposed, major al ternative route alignments. For maximum flexibility, the ErR will address the potential impacts of locating the sewer projects anywhere within the full width of the proposed route corridors (e.g., the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way, Grayson Creek, Walnut Creek, and local streets). Additionally, several areas along the proposed al ignments contain multiple subroute alternatives which will be analyzed to the same degree as the major alternative alignments (see Figure 1). These additional route al ignment alternatives will provide the District with the abi 1 ity to use one of several potenti al routes after the EIR is compl eted. The ultimate route decision would be based upon the comments from public agencies and concerned citizens on the major, potential environmental issues. These changes in the size of the potentially affected project areas approximately double the Draft/Final EIR analysis effort, resulting in the major cost increase associated with this contract amendment. Also, additional work is required from ESA due to recent 1 egi sl ative deci si ons affecti ng the EIR process, such as the new 1 aw (AS 3180) requiring preparation of a "mitigation monitoring plan" for projects with significant impacts. This plan will identify measures needed to mitigate significant impacts and methods to be used to monitor the implementation of those mitigation measures during design and construction of the projects. The agreement with ESA now needs to be revised to include additional costs due to these necessary changes in the EIR scope of work. Attachment A provides a breakdown of these additional costs, which total $97,200. The revised cost ceiling of the EIR preparation will be $196,000. Staff will make a presentation to the Board addressing the alignment alternatives, potential environmental impacts, and engineering concerns of these two relief sewer projects. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute a contract amendment with Envi ronmental Sci ence Associ ates, Inc. in the amount of $97,200 for preparation of the Contra Costa Blvd. Relief Interceptor Project and "A" Line Right-of-Way Acquisition Project EIR. 13028-9/85 N lU Z j:: a: < ,. \~ :i ~ \\\ ~ ='"""!'j \\ ~ (.):: \ it (.),,1:.~~---, ~ ; -er Ii: V'l f.

Administrative/Risk Management ISSUE: The Dal ton Constructi on Company has fil ed an i ndemni ty cl aim against the District for indemnification relative to a lawsuit filed by one of their sUbcontractors, TM Road Boring. An action to deny a claim requires Board of Directors' approval. BAa<GROOND: Dal ton Constructi on Company COal ton) was the general contractor for Phase I of the I-680/SR-24 Sewer Relocation Project which was compl eted on May 31, 1989. Dalton previously filed a claim alleging that they were entitled to an additional payment of $308,593.95 for the project. At the October 5, 1989 Board Meeti ng, the Board of Di rectors approved a parti al all CN/ance of that cl aim in the amount of $13,800 but denied the bal ance of the cl aim. Subsequent to that action, TM Road Boring filed a stop notice lawsuit against Dalton alleging that they are entitled to payment of $195,677.11 for labor and materials furnished in the boring and jacking operation to install the concrete pipe for the above project. This indemnity claim, the related lawsuit, and Dalton's previous claim are all related to the same issue which is the pipe tunneling operation performed to relocate a District sewer line because of the CalTrans work on the I-680/SR-24 interchange. The filing of this claim is a legally required action by Dalton to enable them to proceed with a cross complaint for indemnity against the District. The staff recommends that this claim be denied because the District has no present ability to analyze the indemnity exposure and because Dalton accepted total responsibility for the tunneling under a Change Order. RECOMMENDATION: Deny the claim from Dalton Construction Company for indemnification by the District on the TM Road Boring lawsuit against Dalton and the District. INITI, Tlf eT./D1V.

Campbell, Administrative Operations Manager INITIA TING DEPT./DIV. Administrative/Risk Management ISSUE: A claim for $9,115.71 has been received from Plant Maintenance Incorporated, an agency supplying temporary industrial, chemical, and petroleum maintenance personnel as well as engi neers, designers, and drafters, which is located at 210 Berrell esa, Marti nez. An acti on to deny a cl aim rEGui res Board of Di rectors approv al . BACKGROUND: The Mountain Cascade Construction Company (MCC) has been installing a sewer line in Berrellesa Street, Martinez, as part of the Martinez Early Start Project <D.P. 4429>' This work involves excavation by MCC in the street and PMI alleges that the earth shaking resulting from this project caused their Texas Instrument DS990 Model 7 computer to go into a fault mode resulting in a loss of data and incurrence of addi ti onal expense. They have al so i ncl uded a cost for cleaning and detailing seven employee automobiles. The District first became aware of this matter on August 2, 1989 when the City of Marti nez shut down Mountai n Cascade's work because of a PMI compl ai nt made to them. SubsEGuently on August 4, operations resumed with Mountain Cascade using a smaller excavator with rubber tires to minimize the vibration (assuming that was the problem). District staff checked with PMI on August 4, and they seemed to be sati sf i ed at th at ti me. The District is an additional insured for this project under Mountain Cascade's general liability policy, and the staff recommends that the claim be denied based on the current lack of evidence that the District has any responsibility for the alleged loss. If denied, the claim will be tendered to the contractor's insurance carri ere REC04MENDATION: Deny the $9,115.71 cl aim from Pl ant Mai ntenance Incorporated and refer it to staff for further action as necessary.
