SUBJECREJECT ALL BIDS RECEIVED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF THE FURNACE CONTROL ROOM SHELL
(DISTRICT PROJECT 3694.5)
TYPE OF ACTION
REJECT BIDS
SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
CHER YL CRESON, ASSOCIATE ENGINEE ENGINEERING DIVISION
ISSUE: Sealed bids for the construction of the Furnace Control Room were opened May 6,
1985. The Board of Directors must award the contract or reject bids within 30 days of the
bid opening.
BACKGROUND: The Furnace Control Room task was authorized by the Board as part of
the overall Incinerator Repairs and Modifications Project on August 2, 1984. The overall
authorization for the Incinerator Repairs and Modifications Project is $4,683,000.
Presently, controls and instruments for the incinerator system are located in various places
throughout the four floors of the Solids Conditioning Building. The operating life of the
instruments and controls is adversely affected by the hot and dusty environment of the
incinerators. In addition, these devices require on-going monitoring and adjustment which
further openly exposes the equipment as well as District operating and maintenance staff to
the heat, dust, and high noise levels of the process. The control room will provide a
centralized instrumentation and control package including an integrated graphical alarm
panel in a protective environment for more efficient operation.
The planned sequence for the completion of the overall Furnace Project is to 1) bid and
construct the control room shell ; 2) finish design of the electrical/instrumentation
modifications, including relocation to the new control room; and 3) bid and construct the
electrical/instrumentation modifications. It is anticipated that the electrical! instrumenta-
tion plans and specifications will be advertised in late summer.
Three bids ranging from $198,500 to $262,000 were received for construction of the Furnace
Control Room, and are presented in Attachment 1 to this Position Paper. The low bid is
7396 greater than the engineer's estimate of $114,963.
The Engineering Department has met at length with John Carollo Engineers and the two low
bidders to review the Control Room Shell bids and determine the reasons for the difference
between bids and the estimate. The major reasons identified were:
1. Access difficulty for construction
2. Retrofit construction
3. Maintenance of existing operations
4. Busy construction season
5. Logistics of numerous subcontractors in small construction site and tight schedule.

Q}(! .
The Engineering Department believes that modifications can be made in the plans and
specifications to reduce the cost of the Control Room Shell. Staff recommends that the
Control Room Shell bids be rejected, that modifications be made to the plans and specifica-
tions, and that the project be rebid.
The Engineering Department will report the status of the Incinerator Repairs and Modifica-
tion Project budget to the Board of Directors when the Control Room Shell plans and
specifications are rebid and presented to the Board for approval.
RECOMMEND A nON: Reject all bids received May 6, 1985, for construction of the Furnace
Control Room Shell (DP 3694.5).

BUDGET REVIEW
SUBMITTED BY

Administrative Finance & Accountin
ISSUE: The 1985-1986 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget is being submitted
for review at the May 30, 1985 Board Meeting, and is scheduled for approval at the
June 6, 1985 Board Meeting.
BACKGROUND: The 1985-1986 O&M Budget expenses total $18,072,057 which exceeds the
1984-1985 budgeted expenses of $17,725,497 by $346,560, or 2.0 percent, and is
higher than the 1984-1985 projected actual expenses of $16,417,454 by $1,654,6_03,
or 10.1 percent. Explanations of departmental expense increases, or decreases,
between 1985-1986 budgeted expenses and 1984-1985 projected actual expenses are
provided foll owi ng each departmental expense summary withi n the attached budget
document.
The 1985-1986 O&M Budget revenues of $18,566,362 are canposed of Sewer Service
Charge revenues of $14,348,862, City of Concord service charge revenues of
$3,600,000, and other revenues of $617,500. The budgeted Sewer Service Charge
revenues are based on the present annual rate of $129, and projected increases in
residential connections and increased usage volumes for canmercial and industrial
users during 1985-1986. The 1985-1986 budgeted revenues exceed 1984-1985
projected actual revenues of $18,225,211 by $341,151, or 1.9 percent.
The following are noteworthy budgetary considerations:
o Conti ngency Account - The establi shment of a Di strict conti ngency
expense account which was initiated in 1984-1985 has been continued
in 1985-1986; the contingency amount of $200,000 provides for
expenses which are not included in other budgeted expenses because
of a high 1 evel of uncertai nty as to timi ng and amount. These
uncertainties are described on Attachment III.
o Canpensated Absences Expense - Canpensated absences expense was
required to be recorded by public agencies beginning in the
1983-1984 fiscal year. The expense effect of the increase in the
liability for accrued vacation and sick leave is projected for
1984-1985 to be $228,000 and is budgeted in 1985-1986 in the amount

of $282,000; the $54,000 fncrease fn thfs expense reflects the
hfgher than nonnal retfranents whfch occurred fn 1984-1985, for
whfch approxfmately $200,000 fn canpensated absences payments were
recorded fn the salarfes and wages expense account for that ffscal
year. In 1985-1986, payments made to retfrfng or tennfnatfng
anployees for accrued vacatf on and sfck 1 eave 1 fabfl fty wfll be
recorded fn a separate salarfes and wages account tftled "Salarfes
and Wages - Canpensated Absences"; such payments fn the amount of
$63,000 are budgeted fn 1985-1986.
o Cfty of Concord Servfce Charge Settlanent - The settlanent agreanent
negotfated wfth the Cfty of Concord fs now scheduled for
ratfffcatfon at efther the May 30, 1985 or June 6, 1985 Board
Meetf ng. The settl anent to the Of strfct for underpayment caused by
under reported flow volumes wfll provfde a number of alternatfve
methods for pass-through to Dfstrfct payors. As these alternatfves
are contfngent on acceptance of the settlanent agreanent, staff wfll
be prepared to revfew than on May 30, 1985, and wfll antfcfpate a
detennfnatfon when the Sewer Servfce Charge rate for 1985-1986 fs
establfshed on June 6. 1985.
A summary of actual, projected actual and budgeted expenses, revenues and reserves
for the sfx ff scal years 1980-1981 through 1985-1986 f s shown on Attachment I,
wfth a presentatfon of Sewer Servfce Charge rates and Sewer Servfce Charge
equfvalent unfts for each ffscal year. Attachment II fs a graph whfch shows the
major expense categorfes of labor, chanfcals and utflftfes fn relatfon to total
budgeted expenses for each of the sfx ffscal years.
Any adjustments to the 1985-1986 O&M Budget whfch may be detennfned at the May 30,
1985 Board Meetfng wfll be fncorporated fn the budget to be submftted for approval
at the June 6, 1985 Board Meetfng, at whfch the followfng actfons are scheduled:
