DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE September 25, 1981 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION APPROVAL OF TIMEC COMPANY AS THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER FOR BID REQUEST TP-3-8l82, ASBESTOS REMOVAL AWARD OF CONTRACT SUBMITTED BY Robert A. Baker INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Plant Operations Department Issue: The District has advertised and requested bids for asbestos removal, Bid Request TP-3-8l82. Background: Removal and disposal of asbestos insulation was approved by the Board of Directors on July 2, 1981 for a cost not to exceed $49,000. The bids were solicited from four separate companies. The bid was also formally advertised. There were four respones to the bid; one from Timec Company for a cost of $25,700; one from Austin Salvage Company for $44,500; one from o. Erickson, Inc. for $43,750; and one from Li-Co, Ltd. for $62,000. Analysis reveals that Timec Company is lowest responsible bidder. Additional funds beyond the Timec contract amount will be expended on this project for force account work and for asbestos monitoring. However, it is not anticipated that the $49,000 Board authorization will be exceeded. The Timec Company bid meets all of the technical requirements of the bid package for a cost of $25,700 plus a contingency of $2,600. Recommendation: Acceptance of the Timec Company bid as the lowest responsible bidder and award contract. '" REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATING DEPT./DIV.

Engineering POSITION PAPER VIA: ROGER J. DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE September 18, 1981 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION ACCEPTANCE OF DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 3474, NORTH PARKING LOT ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACT Edwin J. Anderson INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Engineering/Construction SUBMITTED BY ISSUE: The Contractor, Gallagher & Burk, Inc., has satisfactorily completed construction of the Project. The Project is ready for acceptance by the District Board of Directors. BACKGROUND: On March 30, 1981, District entered into an agreement with Gallagher and Burk, Inc., for the modifications to the North Parking Lot at the Treatment Plant. The Contractor satisfactorily completed all construction work on September 16, 1981, including all change order and punch list items. RECOMMENDATION: The following Board actions are recommended: 1. Accept Contract Work for Project No. 3474. 2. Authorize filing the Notice of Completion with the Contra Costa County Recorder. 3. Authorize final payment to the Contractor 35 days after the Notice is filed provided no claims are received. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION District BOARD OF DIRECTORS NO. VI. Engineering VIA: ROGER J. DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE September 28, 1981 TYPE OF ACTION SUBJECT POSITION PAPER REVIEW OF PROPOSED, NEW SCHEDULE OF PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION FEES AND MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES FOR SEWER CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. DISCUSSION SUBMITTED BYJ S M C ay . c oy INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Collection System/Engineering BACKGROUND: Revised plan review and inspection fees for mainline sewer construction projects were presented to the Board for comment at the July 16, 1981 Board meeting as part of the staff's current overall review of the District's rates and charges. At that time, the Board emphasized its intent to insure that the basic sewer service fee (EQC) annually assessed to all dischargers is not used to subsidize the District for costs associated with reviewing plans and inspecting sewers for new private developments. In other words, all fees should be set commensurate with the District's cost for providing the required services. In addition, the Board directed staff to review the inspection fee calculations to determine whether any changes could be made in the level of inspection which would thereby reduce the costs and conse- quently the magnitude of the proposed fee increase. The Board also expressed an interest in seeing a comparison of the District's pro- posed rates with those rates currently charged by other Districts. District staff has completed a detailed review of the proposed plan review fee and inspection fee calculations and has incorporated several changes in the analysis resulting in revised fee increase recommendations. In addition, several other related fees were evaluated and new, proposed rates have been developed for these miscellaneous charges. APPROACH: Refer to Table A for respective proposed rates for the following District services: (a) Plan Review and Inspection Fees - The approach selected for reviewing the current plan review and inspection fees was based on analyzing the fees collected and the actual District costs of performing the services over a representative two year period of time (1978-1980). Once the District costs were "inflated" to account for applicable wage increases in 1981 and 1982, the IIcurrent" costs were compared with the quantity of sewer pipe in- stalled over the two year period to develop the proposed new fees. Prior to making this calculation for the new inspection fee, the salary REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION P;7~SM r:~~ CLW Sheet 1 of 7 costs were reduced to account for the reduction in inspection staff from 11 to 9 individuals that has occurred subsequent to the two year study period. This permanent staff reduction is reflected in a lower inspection fee ($1.55/L.F.) than originally proposed to the Board on July 16 ($1.90/L.F.). Two alternative approaches were also investigated for the proposed new inspection fee. The first alternative approach was based on the premise that new sewer mains which are installed in new subdivisions normally require comparatively less inspection effort than sewer main installa- tions which are located in existing roads or easement areas. Since traffic control and existing utilities would not normally affect a new subdivision sewer installation, less inspection effort is required there- by justifying a lower inspection fee. Using detailed cost information developed in 1977 for a number of sewer projects, an alternative two- tier inspection fee was developed with 400 feet being the transition point above which a lower inspection fee would apply. Those projects greater than 400 feet in length would be charged $1.23/L.F., whereas those projects less than 400 feet in length would be charged $3.37/L.F. The second alternative approach developed was based on charging every development a fixed charge of $278 plus a uniform $1.33/foot regardless of the length of main involved. This approach has the effect of creating a reduced cost per foot inspection fee since the base fee ($278) in effect is spread over the total length of sewer to be in- spected. Table B shows representative inspection fees that would be charged for each of the three approach~outlined above for various project lengths. (b) Later~l, House Connettion or Sewer Alterations Inspection Fee - Essentially the same procedure was followed to develop a re- vIsed tnspection fee for laterals or house connections, as that pre- sented above for the mainline inspection fee. This procedure includes the use of data for the period 1978-1980 as well as the permanent reductton in inspection staff. tn addition to the generation of a proposed new inspection fee for laterals and house connections, it is proposed that an additional, re- lated category of inspection work entitled "sewer alterations" be charged the same inspection fee as that for laterals or house connect- tians. Sewer alterations would include inspection work associated with the Installation of restaurant grease interceptors or additions to commercial or residential structures where an additional length of lateral must be installed. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATING DEPT./DIV. GEN. MGR./CHIEF ENG. Sheet 2 of 7 (c) Overtime Inspection Charge - Contractors occasionally request to have an inspector work overtime for which the contractor agrees to reimburse the District for all expenses involved. The District's hourly inspection cost was calculated using one and one half times the average hourly rate as well as appropriate vehicle and accounting time. (d) Multiple Final Plan Reviews - It is common for the larger developers to submit final sewer construction plans in phases for District approval in order to mini- mize the loss of construction staking. These multiple submittals to the District generate additional District costs which are not covered by normal revenue from the plan review fee. Consequently, the District has been charging an additional fee for each final plan review after the first submittal based on the District cost to process the additional submittals. (e) Structure Design Fee - Ocasionally, homeowners or small developers may request that the District prepare plans for the construction of a new manhole or rodding inlet and/or a short length of sewer main where required for connection of a new building to the public sewer. In these situations, a fee is charged based on the District's cost to both design the project and provide field location surveying. (f) Inspection Fee for Side Sewer Repair - A fee is charged by the District for inspection costs in- volved in the repair of private side sewers. There are relatively few side sewer repairs which occur over a period of one year. In addition, minimal inspection time is normally required for this type of work. (g) Permit Processing Fee - The District charges a small fee to cover the cost of pro- cessing the permit required for any work on the sewer system. SUMMARY: As stated in the July 16, 1981 position paper, the current rate structure was last updated in February of 1977. Consequently, the existing fees will have been in effect for approximately 5 years, assuming adoption of a new rate structure in early 1982. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR SOARD ACTION INITIATING DEPT./DIV, GEN. MGR./CHIEF ENG. Sheet 3 of 7 Table A presents the current and proposed fees for the District charges itemized above~ The proposed fee for mainline inspection has been calculated using three different approaches. All three approaches are based on the current inspection staff which, as mentioned earlier, has been per- manently reduced by two inspectors. No other reductions in inspection effort are recommended in order to maintain the Districts high standards of installation which are reflected in reduced future maintenance costs as well as reduced infiltration and consequent plant flow. Table C presents a comparison of some of the Districts proposed fees with those charged by other Districts. It is important to note that the other Districts included in the comparison are smaller than CCCSD and they may not perform the same level of inspection as that routinely conducted by CCCSD (e.g. TV inspection). The comparison was restricted to Bay Area Districts to somewhat include areas with similar economic conditions as well as field installation conditions (terrain). All of the proposed rate increases have been discussed with Mr. Dean La Field, Executive Vice President of the Building Industry Association of Northern California. We are currently awaiting his response to the proposed new rates once he has discussed the increases with his member contractors. RECOMMENDATION: Review and comment on the staff approach used to analyze the increases required in the plan review fee, inspection fee and miscellaneous charges associated with sewer construction projects.

McCoy INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Collection System/Engineering ISSUE: It is necessary to eliminate a drainage problem and provide yard improvements at the Treatment Plant. BACKGROUND: The north side of the Materials Control Center is un- paved and collects water. Vehicles drive over this area and create ruts and further aggravate the problem. It is proposed to grade and improve this area to eliminate the ponding of water, eliminate dust, provide a permanent driving area and expand the area for storage of materials. Since the estimated construction cost is over $15,000, it is necessary to follow a formal bidding procedure including preparation of contract documents. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $1000 for preparation of plans and specifications for the installation of yard improvements at the Materials Control Center.

Baker INITIATING DEPT.!DIV. Plant Operations Department Issue: A need exists for an unleaded gasoline station at the treatment plant. Background: Most of the vehicles at the treatment plant require unleaded fuel. Presently vehicles are driven to the District office or to Martinez for refueling. This actually takes about three hours per day of Utility Person time. Locating a gas station at the treatment plant site would save personnel time for the refuel- ing activity. It is proposed to install a simple gas station consisting of a 1,000 gallon fuel storage tank, a gasoline pump (which has previously been purchased at a cost of $620) and a magnetic card security system. The gasoline pump will be located on a concrete pad with no roof. The cost of this installation should not exceed $2,500. Considering the savings in Utility Person refueling time, the project should have a payback period of less than one year. Recommendation: Authorization of $2,500 for the purchase of a 1,000 gallon gasoline fuel storage tank and magnetic card security system. ., REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION INITIATING DEPT ./DIV.

Background: On March 13, 1981 the Board authorized the expenditure of $75,000 to upgrade the environmental conditions of the trte~ment plant field microprocessors. In order to expedite the project, the five most critical microprocessors were split out into a "fast-track" subproject. (There are a total of 20 microprocessors in the plant) Air conditioners were installed in August on the five critical microprocessors by a contractor~ The air conditioners are working well. Work on the non-critical microprocessors is proceeding under a different project number, and the overall project is under budget at this time. Recommendation: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to file a Notice of Completion on District Project No. TP-1-8182.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE September 28, 1981 SUBJECT PROPOSITION 4 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT TYPE OF ACTION ADOPT APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT Walter N. Funasaki INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Accounting Dept. SUBMITTED BY ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required to establish its appropriations limit in accordance with Article X111B of the California Constitution. BACKGROUND: At the September 3, 1981 Board Meeting, the Board of Directors authorized posting a public notice of the availability of documentation in support of the District's appropriations limits. As required by statute, the public notice was made at least fifteen days prior to the October 1, 1981 Board Meeting at which adoption of the appropriations limits is recommended. The Capital Fund appropriations limits are $6,062,800 for 1980-1981 and $6,746,978 for 1981-1982. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing the Capital Fund appropriations limits in the amount of $6,062,800 for the 1980-1981 fiscal year and $6,746,078 for the 1981-1982 fiscal year.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE Sept. 29, 1981 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACTION REVIEW AND ACCEPT THE FIVE YEAR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PLAN (1981-86) FINANCIAL PLANNING SUBMITTED BY John Larson INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Special Projects Engineering Division BACKGROUND At this time, the District has significant capital reserves ($35,685,000 as of 6/30/81) and it has identified $111,300,000 of projects and expenditures through 6/30/86. The purpose of the Capital Expenditure Plan is to provide a project and expenditure planning tool that will provide input into the management of the District's Sewer Construction Fund. The preliminary Capital Expenditure Plan, based on the preliminary project identification phase, was discussed at the August 1, 1981 Board Meeting. Since that time the District staff has completed the project/expenditure identification, placed the projects/expenditures into priority groups, and evaluated the impact of various project/ expenditure scheduling and funding decisions. The recommended Five Year Capital Expenditure Plan was developed to provide a balance between the need for high priority project scheduling requirements and a poor outlook for near term clean water grant program funding while maintaining the sewer construction fund reserves at an acceptable level. The recommended plan is not intended to be a static document. It will be updated periodically to meet the need of changing project/expenditure priorities and financial outlook. The Five Year Capital Expenditure Plan will not alter the current procedure of obtaining project/expenditure authorizations on a case by case basis. A summary of the plan is attached. RECOMMENDATION Accept the Five Year Capital Expenditure Plan for the period 6/30/81 through 6/30/86 as the basis for future project and expenditure decisions. REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION ENG. JA f/AJMC ~OCW CLW BOARD OF DIRECTORS NO. POSITION PAPER VIA: ROGER J. DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE September 28, 1981 SUBJECT TYPE OF ACT ION NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMERS OF GARBAGE COLLECTORS OF RATE INCREASE APPLICATIONS CONSIDER HOMEOWNER REQUEST SUBMITTED BY Walter N. Funasaki, Finance Officer INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Accounting Division ISSUE: Direct notification to customers of garbage rate increase applications has been requested by a homeowner. BACKGROUND: A letter sent to the Board of Directors by Virginia Mills, 549 Garden Creek Place, Danville, California, requested that the Board require notices of rate increase applications be sent to all customers with the garbage collector's quarterly bill ing statements. V. Mills asserted that the publ ic notices placed in newspapers of general circulation by the District of the rate increase appl ied for and the date of the public hearing to consider the application are insufficient. Sanford Skaggs, attorney for Valley Disposal Services, Inc., the affected collector, advised that the collector's new computerized billing system will enable printing a general notification of a rate increase application on the bill ing statement without additional cost. The Board directed District staff to obtain the suggested wording of the notifica- tion to be printed on the billing statement and to also obtain an estimate of the additional expense to the collector in notifying customers directly by a separate mailing as is presently required by the City of Walnut Creek. By letter dated September 17, 1981, Sanford Skaggs advised that the notification on the billing statement would be restricted to 100 characters because of space limitations and that the additional expense of a separate mailing is $5,255. A copy of Mr. Skagg1s letter is attached. The largest expense component of a separate mailing is postage. This major expense can be avoided by requiring all collectors to imprint an abbreviated notifi- cation on the quarterly statement, or by inserting such notification in the billing envelope. As the rate increase percentage would not be known at that time, continua- tion of the present District practice of placing publ ic notices in newspapers of general circulation would be required. RECOMMENDATION: Require all garbage collectors operating under District franchise agreements to include a brief notice with their billing statement of their intent to file a rate increase application, and continue the current District practice of placing public notices of the rate increase applied for and the date of the publ ic hearing to consider such application.
