MEa-tANICAL MAINTENANCE AND MATERIALS CONTROL BUILDING
DP NO. 20027
May 9, 1986
Pro.f ect Descr i pt ion
The existing mechanical maintenance facility was constructed during the 1957
Treatment Pl ant expansi on. Si nce then, the Treatment Pl ant faci 1 ity has expanded
fran an 11 mill ion gallon per day (MGD) primary treatment process to a 35 foGO
secondary treatment process with sludge incineration. Expansion to 45 foGO is
currently underway. Additional working space for maintenance activities is now
required to support and maintain the greatly expanded and more complicated
treatment facilities.
The exi sti ng materi al s control buil di ng was ori gi nally a contractor's temporary
office/welding bay. In 1976 the District purchased the building and its contents
for $5,000. The facil ity lacks adequate storage space thereby necessitating
storage of equipment and parts in widely scattered areas throughout the Plant.
Such a situation makes inventory control and security difficult and increases
storage and retrieval time. In addition, the existing space, which houses
$500,000 worth of inventory, has no insulation, sprinkling system, ventilation,
seismic strengthening to support the loft, or restroom facilities.
A prel imi nary feasi bil ity study found that combi ni ng the two functi ons into one
building was the most cost-effective approach. This approach consisted of
combining the two into a single building as separate units but with common
restroan, office, and lunch room space.
The Board subsequently authorized predesign of the combined building on October 3,
1985. The purpose of predesign was to define the project requirements to the
extent necessary to complete the project using a design/build approach.
The new building will be located between the Solids Conditioning Building and the
existing Materials Control Building. This site was selected since efficient
maintenance depends on strategic access to parts and equipment and since the
greatest amount of mechanical maintenance activity occurs near the proposed
1 ocati on.

ISSUE: The District Code and State law require holding public hearings for the
establ i shment of the 1986-1987 Sewer Service Charge rates, and for pl aci ng such
charges on the County tax rolls for collection.
BACKGROUND: The 1986-1987 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget will be submitted
for initial review by the Board of Directors at the special Board Meeting on May 29,
1986. Approval of the 1986-1987 O&M Budget is schedul ed for the Board Meeti ng on
June 5, 1986. It is customary to hold public hearings to receive public comment on
establishing the Sewer Service Charge rates and collecting such charges on the
County tax roll s at the Board Meeti ng at which the O&M Budget is presented for
approval. '
Because the interval between the Board Meeting on May 29, 1986, at which the June 5,
1986 publ ic heari ng date woul d normally be set, and the publ ic heari ng date is
insufficient for proper notice, it is necessary to set the publ ic hearing date at
the May 15, 1986 Board Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Set June 5, 1986 for a public hearing to receive public comment on
the establishment of the 1986-1987 Sewer Service Charge rates, and the collection of
such charges on the County tax rolls.

diligence, the potential of the District's operating or contracting a solid waste
1 andfill for the publ ic benefit . . . ." On April 11, 1984, the Board authorized
$38,900 for a total cost of $41,904 to conduct preliminary planning for the
project. An additional $190,000 was authorized to conduct Phase I of the Sol id
Waste Management Proj ect on June 28, 1984.
The Phase I scope of work i ncl uded preparati on of a Sol i d Waste Management Pl an
and a comprehensive publ ic 1 andfill site screening to identify potential sites
throughout the county, which was accompl ished. Phase I funds were al so util ized
to prepare and pri nt an Executive Summary, Draft Vol ume I, and Vol ume II of the
Sol id Waste Management Project Report and to hol d two Central County publ ic
participation workshops and a recycl ing workshop. An additional $23 ,523 was
authorized to fund the East County publ ic participation workshop, printing and
distribution of the final Volume I of the Solid Waste Management Project Report,
and a white paper that presented the District's recommendations to the County on
sol id waste management. The white paper, which was authorized on April 4, 1985,
included specific recommendations regarding Acme Fill's closure, interim solid
waste export, public landfill site search, and County-wide concensus required for
solving the County-wide solid waste problem, transfer stations, and funding. The
total project budget was $255,427. The completed project cost is $253,424, which
is $2,003 less than budget. Closing this project will result in the return of
$2,003 to the Sewer Construction Fund.
RECOMME~DATION: This item is presented to the Board for information. No action
is necessary.

ISSUE: Capital funds are needed to replace a section of public sewer in order
to prevent sewage overflows.
BACKGROUND: The 6" diameter public sewer that serves the residences on Strand
Avenue in Pleasant Hill is in very poor condition along two continuous
stretches of pipeline totaling 250 feet in length. The pipe needing
replacement has problems with root intrusion, low spots, grease accumulation,
and misaligned joints which have caused frequently increasing maintenance
problems along with a stoppage in November 1984.
In order to prevent future stoppages and pi pe fail ure due to progressivel y
heavier root intrusion into this clay pipe material, it is recommended that
this section of pipeline be replaced with new 8-inch diameter pipe.
REcml4ENDATION: Authorize $7,600 from the Sewer Constructi on Fund for the
replacement of approximately 250 feet of pipeline at Strand Avenue in Pleasant
Hill.

ISSUE: The subject document will create permanent easement rights for the
District's existing trunk sewer and any future trunk sewers in the old Southern
Pacific Railroad <S.P.R.R.> Right of Way south of Monument Boulevard to Hookston
Road and Mayhew Way to Walden Road as shown on Attachment 1.
BACKGROUND: All of the District's sewer facil ities located within the S.P.R.R.
Right of Way were installed under License Agreements with the Southern Pacific
Rail road Canpany. The District pays annual fees for this use. After Southern
Pacific ceased operations in their "San Ramon Branch," the District determined
that permanent easements for our sewer facilities had to be acquired.
Contra Costa County, other publ ic agenci es, and util ity compani es desi red to
purchase rights in the Southern Pacific Right of Way as a north-south
transportati on and util ity corri dor. By mutual agreement, the County took the
1 ead in purchasi ng the enti re ri ght of way and on December 3, 1985, granted the
District easement rights through Walnut Creek into Danville. At the same time,
the County and the District executed a purchase agreement for the granting of
additi onal easements in other areas to the Di strict after the fee titl e was
acquired by the County. The subject easement is one of the additional easements
contained in that agreement. The agreement established a purchase price of
$950,000 for the subject easement. Funds for this purchase were authorized by the
Board on December 3, 1985. The County has acquired fee title to the area which
contains the subject easement and it is appropriate for the District to execute
the Grant of Easement.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the execution of the subject Grant of Easement, accept said
easement on behalf of the District and adopt a resolution to that effect.

Walter N. Funasaki, Finance Officer
Administrative/Finance and Accounting
ISSUE: The Board of Directors is requested to authorize the execution of a contract
with Great Western Savings to provide a second, alternative administration firm for
the District's Deferred Compensation Plan.
BACKGROUND: The District's Deferred Compensation Plan was established under Section
457 of the Internal Revenue Code in 1976 after the District voluntarily withdrew
from the federal Social Security System. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, the
Di str1ct suppl ements the employees' tax-deferred contri buti ons by contri buti ng an
amount which is based on the employer's contribution rate and maximum earnings limit
established for the Social Security System. Hartford Variable Annuity Life
Insurance Company (Hartford) was appointed the Plan's administration firm to enroll
participants, provide investment options, account for contributions and Plan assets,
report account status and investment performance, and di sbu rse funds upon
termination or retirement.
Hartford has developed a new administration contract which it proposed as a
repl acement for the present contract. The Di strict's Deferred Compensati on Pl an
Advisory Committee (Committee) performed a comparative review of both Hartford
contracts, and determined that the investment options under the proposed contract
did not provide a sufficient performance history to evaluate. Therefore, a
recommendati on on the proposed contract was deferred until a year's investment
performance could be assessed. The Committee determined that the subsequent review
should encompass administration contracts offered by others, as well. As a result
of the subsequent review, the administration services contract offered by Great
Western Savings was judged to be worthy of a detailed comparative review with the
existing and proposed Hartford contracts.
In performing its comparative review of all
considered the following criteria: contract
investment performance.
three contracts, the Committee
features; fees and charges; and
Upon completing the comparative review, the Committee concluded that, although the
proposed Hartford contract offered additional equity investment options, its revised
fees and charges structure, and the potential for their escalation, made the
retenti on of the exi sti ng contract more advantageous for the majority of Di strict
participants. The Committee has been advised by Hartford that a review of the fees
and charges of the proposed contract is now in progress. If the proposed contract's
fee schedule is revised, the Committee intends to review its provisions in
comparison to the existing contract at that time.

The Great Western contract was considered to be particularly worthy because of its
lower fees and charges and highly regarded equity mutual fund investment options.
The Committee's report and findings are provided as an attachment to this Position
Paper.
As a result of its review, the Committee recommends:
o that the existing Hartford contract be retained.
o that the Great Western contract be obtained as an alternative
administration contract for the District's Deferred Compensation Plan.
The Committee bel ieves that the introduction of Great Western as an alternative,
co-admi ni strator of the Pl an will produce benefici al resul ts for Di strict
partici pants by provi di ng a 1 arger sel ecti on of investment vehicl es and increased
flexibility. Competition between the co-administrators for participants' accounts
will promote superi or service and performance, and serve to constrai n fees and
expense charges.
The current and former members of the Committee who contributed to this project
were: Harriette Stahl; Mari a Izzo; Donita Hohenstei n; Jim Coe; Ben Netto; Tony
Granzotto; and Ken Harrison.
RECOMfJENDATION: Authorize execution of a contract with Great Western Savings to
provide administration services in connection with the District's Deferred
Compensation Plan.

ISSUE: Board approval is requested for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to
execute a contract with John Carollo Engineers and to authorize $138,000 from the
Sewer Construction Fund for desi gn of the Treatment Pl ant Wet Weather Hydraulic
Improvement Proj ect - Phase 1.
BACKGROUND: The recent February 1986 storms highlighted the hydraulic
"bottlenecks" which currently impact Treatment Plant capacity under peak, wet
weather flow condi ti ons. The Engi neeri ng Department has performed a cursory
review and analysis of the current and future Treatment Plant flow scenarios which
will exist once the Stage 5B Hydraulic Expansion Project is complete.
The analysis has identified long-term improvements to relieve major flow
restrictions as well as modifications to be implemented in the immediate future to
provide increased interim wet weather capacity. It is anticipated that additional
recommendations for increasing the interim hydraulic capacity of the Plant may be
forthcoming as the design of the interim modifications develops and new informa-
tion becomes available. Any subsequent recommendations will be the subject of a
future position paper.
The Phase 1, or interim improvements, will be designed and constructed prior to
the onset of the 1988 wet weather season. These improvements will provide
increased wet weather hydraul ic capacity for the primary cl arifiers, as well as
increased primary effl uent bypass capaci ty, emergency hol di ng basi n improvements,
and a feasibility study for pumping the outfall.
The Phase 2, or long-term improvements, will be formally developed duri ng the
preparation of the Treatment Pl ant Master Pl an and will address expansion of
secondary treatment and unit processes as well as other major modifications.
A cost reimbursement contract with a cost ceiling of $70,000 has been negotiated
with the engineering firm of John Carollo Engineers of Walnut Creek to provide
design services for Phase 1 of the project. This firm was selected because of
their experience and familiarity with the Plant hydraulics due to the design of
the 5B Hydraulic Expansi on Proj ect.
The estimated cost to desi gn Phase 1 improvements is approximately $138,000 as
presented in Attachment 1. This includes $10,000 for aerial surveys as well as a

apportionment related to Contra Costa County Superior Court Case No. 256866.
BACKGROUND: In March 1983 a major landslide occurred at the rear of the property
located at #9 Charles Hill Road which is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lew Lee. The Lees
filed suit against the uphill property owners and various public agencies
including CCCSD. The District obtained a dismissal with prejudice in November
1985 from the plaintiffs because there are no CCCSD facilities in the landslide
area. However, the remaining defendants have been filing a series of
cross-complaints against each other and one of them, the Forsbergs, are now
claiming for indemnity and apportionment from the District.
There has been no i nformati on presented to date which indicates any Di strict
responsibility for or involvement with the landslide; the properties affected are
sewered by septic tanks. The claim should be denied.
RECOMMENDATION: Deny the $275,000 cl aim for indemnity and apportionment fran
Leigh and Nancy Forsberg and refer to staff for further action as necessary.

REPlACEMENT OF DEFICIENT SEWER FACILITIES
DISTRICT PROJ ECT NO. 4054
P roj ect Descr i pt i on
sm A - UlFINIAN WAY
The attempt to upgrade this sewer system located under two buildings in Martinez
goes back to 1977. Various designs were proposed and all were rejected by the
local homeowners who were unwilling to grant easements for the proposed
alignments. In November of 1985, easement rights were finally obtained at no cost
to the District.
The sewer realignment is necessary to remove the public sewer main from under two
structures, and also to eliminate a large cavity which has been created around our
broken sewer main. The new sewer system will provide easy access for maintenance
crews and will eliminate any potential liability related to District's sewers
bei ng located under the privately owned structures. The repl acement sewer
consists of 251 feet of 8-inch ASS sewer.
sm B - MORAGA WAY
The deficient vitrified cl ay trunk sewer to be repl aced was constructed in 1950.
The Di strict has received compl ai nts from homeowners on Estabueno Drive, off
Moraga Way, about overflowing backwater devices during periods of heavy rain.
After examining television reports of the downstream system, a determination was
made that the 12-inch trunk line in Moraga Way is contributing to the backups on
Estabueno Drive. The 12-i nch trunk has maj or saas off grade, cracked pi pe, heavy
grease and garbage accumulation, and two 90 abrupt changes in horizontal
alignment. In addition, Planning staff has designated this trunk as undersized
for the ultimate flows from the watershed.
The new replacement will be full size (715 feet of IS-inch ASS or PVC), smooth
wall plastic pipe, and the alignment will be free of abrupt changes in direction.
Duri ng periods of heavy rai nfall, thi s new system will move sewage through the
area smoothly and provide capacity for additional future flows.
sm C - GLORIETTA BOULEVARD
The sewer main in Glorietta Boulevard is one of the oldest in the District. It
was installed under standards existing in 1950. The main is vitrified clay pipe
with mortar filled joints. Television inspection has revealed numerous section of
cracked and di spl aced pi pe, root i ntrusi on, and sags off grade. These probl ems
have contributed to the backup and overflow of sewage at the cleanouts on homes on
Martha Road, upstream of this system. Recent flow checks at manholes have shown
surcharges of two to three feet after periods of heavy rain.
Page 1 of 2 Pages
The new pl asti c pi pe (572 feet of 10-inch PVC or ASS) repl acement system will
provide a smooth, watertight efficient system that will e1 iminate overflows.
SITE D - UIfER ORINDA PUJIP STATION
The vitrified clay gravity trunk sewer which flows to the Orinda Pump Station was
constructed in 1949. This system is located adjacent to San Pablo Creek and on
the perimeter of the Orinda Country Club golf course fairway.
There are two deficient segnents on this system: 1) notably excessive bank
erosi on adj acent to a trunk manhol e, and 2) a cracked and di sj oi nted secti on of
pi pee Creek erosi on on the bank supporti ng one trunk manhol e has compl etel y
removed all supportive material on one side of the structure. Maintenance repairs
have been requi red to support the base of the manhol e and to repai r the exposed
pipes entering and exiting the structure. The project's work will include support
for the manhole and slope protection (sacked concrete rip-rap) both upstream and
downstream of the structure to eliminate the erosive action of the creek's flow
directed at the structure during high water.
Approximately 200 feet of the gravity sewer requires replacement due to
deteri orated pi pe, low spots, cracked and di spl aced pi pe, and excessive root
intrusion. Because the stated problems reduce capacity of this segment of sewer,
backups occur during times of high flow.
