DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE August 6, 1980 SUBJECT AUTHORIZE $660.00 FOR THE PURCHASE OF CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM TEST INSTRUMENTS TYPE OF ACTION EXPENDITURE SUBMITTED BENG I NEER I NG/COLLECT ION SYSTEM ISSUE: The acquiring of test instruments would allow District personnel to adequately monitor our cathodic protection systems. BACKGROUND: It is most important to maintain the proper level of cathodic protection on our steel pipelines and pump stations to prevent corrosion failure. When malfunctions occur, the benefits of cathodic protection are lost and corrosion is allowed to continue which can be a considerable expense to the District. The District's Corrosion Consultant recommended annual surveys be conducted of our systems to assure proper operation. In the past the Consultant has conducted some of these surveys assisted by our Engineering staff. These surveys consist of taking voltage readings at each electrolysis test station on a pipeline or structure with a high impedance voltmeter and a reference half-cell. (test instrument requested) This is a simple procedure for routine monitoring of the systems. Purchase of these test instruments would allow the Engineering staff currently working in the area of corrosion investigation to do this routine monitoring without the need of a consultant. Consultant services would then only be used when malfunctions occurred or adjustments were found necessary. The savings in consultant fees would more than coyer the test instruments within the first year. For example, fees for annual surveys of the following are: 1) Port chicago & Bates Avenue Pump Station 2) 4" Natural gas service to treatment plant $650.00 750.00 In addition to these, there are seven other pipelines to be surveyed each year. Required test instruments include: 1) Harco/ESD Digital corrosion potential meter 2) Current Interrupter, Nilsson 3) Test lead wire, clips and reel $195.00 $325.00 $100.00 Tas 40.00 $660.00 cathodic protection TOTAL COST RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $660.00 for the purchase of system testing instruments.

Special Project Engineering Division BACKGROUND: Dewatered sludge cake from the treatment process is conveyed to trucks via a cake pump and pipeline. Because there is only one cake pump serving two centrifuges and no backup, failure of one centrifuge or the cake pump is an emergency situation. CCCSD puchased an additional cake pump, proposals were solicited for a formal installation design, and Rickard & Assoc. (HRT Engineering) were selected on the basis of their proposal. The design was completed, and construction bids were solicited. The bid opening was September 2, 1980 with four bids received. A low bid of $87,690 was submitted by D. W. Young Construction Co. Inc. HRT Engi- neering evaluated the bids (spread sheet attached). District staff estimates the total cost of the project at $120,000 (see attached post bid pre-construction cost estimate). An amount of $5,500 has been authorized to-date, leaving a balance of $114,500 to complete the project. RECOMMENDATION: Award contract to D. W. Young Const. Inc. and authorize the amount of $114,500 from Sewer Construction Funds to cover the balance re- quired for construction contingincies and incidentals.

Barker SUBMITTED BY ISSUE: The Project Contractor, McCrary Construction Company, has satisfactorily completed work and we are ready to file the Notice of Completion. The total construction cost of the Project is $36,521.37. BACKGROUND: On May 15, 1980, District entered into an agreement with McCrary Construction Company for the Construction of District Sewering Project No. 3346, Influent and Effluent Samplers. The Contractor completed all Contract construction work on August 22, 1980, which date was the agreed completion date plus change order extensions due to unforeseen delay in delivery of the effluent pump and punch list work. RECOMMENDATION: The following Board actions are recommended: (1) (2) (3) Acceptance of the Contract Hork for DSP-3346. Authorization for filing a Notice of Completion with the Contra Costa County Recorder. Authorization of final payment to be made to the Contractor 35 days after the Notice filing date if no claims are received.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE SUBJECT AUTHORIZE FUNDS FOR REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS TO THE TREATMENT PLANT FUEL GAS SYSTEMS Authorization of Funds SUBMITTED BY John Larson INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Special Projects Engineering Division BACKGROUND: The treatment plant has two fuel gas systems; natural gas for normal operation and L.P. gas for emergency operation. The natural gas system constitutes a safety hazard because of high operating pressures and lack of corrosion protection. The L.P. gas system cannot be used as an emergency fuel system because of design and construction errors during Stage SA. Work is required to place both fuel gas systems into operating order. The funding for this work will come from many sources: Fix and Finish Grant Funds (Stage 5A), New Construction GraHt Funds (Stage 5Bl), and CCCSD Sewer Construction Funds. Because of the pressing need for the proposed work, approving the use of sewer construction funds with reimbursement from Grant Funds as they become available is recommended. Engineering is required for predesign and project planning. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize $15,000 from Sewer Construction Funds for predesign engineering and project planning.

DOLAN General Manager-Chief Engineer DATE August 27, 1980 TYPE OF ACTION SUBJECT AU'IHORIZATION OF $14,000 FOR 'IHE PURCHASE AND INSTALIATICN OF A MUFFIN IDNS'IER, r-ODEL 30000-:-12-6 Capital Expenditure SUBMITTED BY D. G. Niles INITIATING DEPT.!DIV. Plant Operations Issue: The Water Pollution Control/Reclamation Plant has been experiencing severe maintenance problems with the existing mazzorators resulting in unacceptable costs in both money and rnanJ?CMer. Background: Under the tenns of the contract three mazzorators were provided to grind up the solid particles in the sludge prior to centrifuging. These units have proven to be unreliable and have resulted in excessive costs to the District in tenus of dollars and manJ?CMer. As an example, during the last year the District has expended over $20,000 in labor and parts in order to maintain these units. Additionally the District has experienced long lead times on parts for these units. Currently two of these units are being repaired. Special Projects Engineering Division has investigated the problem and recarmends the use of a muffin monster, I>b:iel 30000-12-6. Other treatment plants were contacted in order to detennine the best type of grinder. It appears that a muffin monster has the lowest maintenance requirements and appears to l:E considerably more reliable. It is recarmended that one muffin monster be purchased and installed at this time. Should the muffin monster meet present expectations, the remaining two mazzorators ld be replaced at a later date. cmnendation: Authorization of $14,000 for the purchase and installation of a ffin monster.
