FOR AN ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTROMETER FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Cheri Arstani, Principal Buyer Administrative /Purchasing REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. fflx.m doc-- (D V Lamica M graves J. Kelly ISSUE: On March 6, 2002, sealed bids were received and publicly opened for the purchase of one Atomic Absorption Spectrometer for the Treatment Plant's Environmental Laboratory for the Laboratory Improvements Project, D.P. 7172. The Board must authorize award of a purchase order or reject bids within 60 days of the bid opening date. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of the purchase order to Varian, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $58,167.06 to provide one Atomic Absorption Spectrometer for the Treatment Plant's Environmental Laboratory. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The cost of this purchase is $58,167.06. Enough funds have been budgeted for the purchase of this Atomic Absorption Spectrometer in the capital budget of the Laboratory Improvement Project, D.P. 7172. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: If the Board of Directors decides not to purchase this instrument, the samples can be sent to private laboratories for required analyses. The cost of outside laboratory analyses will exceed the cost of this instrument in less than three years. Additionally, there remains a good chance of not receiving data back from the private laboratory in time to avoid permit violations by repeat sampling and analyses. BACKGROUND: The current Atomic Absorption Spectrometer is approximately fifteen years old and has undergone several repairs. It is now at the end of its useful life. Additionally, the older 15- year -old technology is not meeting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Regional Water Quality Control Board's current stringent analytical detection level requirements which are about ten times lower than when the current Atomic Absorption Spectrometer was purchased. The Environmental Laboratory has requested to replace this instrument in the Laboratory Improvements Project. 3/28/02 S: \ADMIN \POSPAPER\ Atomic .Absorption.Spectrometerwpd.wpd Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: April 4, 2002 subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF A PURCHASE ORDER TO VARIAN, INC.

BIDS AND AWARDS Type of Action: AUTHORIZE AWARD /AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO RANGER PIPELINES, INCORPORATED, FOR THE LAFAYETTE SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT, PHASE 3A, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5607 Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Wesley Adams, Senior Engineering Engineering Department / Capital Projects Assistant Division REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. W. Adams Pi cki W. Brennan A. arrell Charles W. atts General Mana r ISSUE: On March 22, 2002, sealed bids were received and opened for construction of the Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project, Phase 3A, District Project No. 5607. The Board of Directors must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 60 days of bid opening. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of a construction contract. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Approximately $237,600, including design, bid price, contingency, and construction management. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject all bids, which is not recommended. BACKGROUND: The District's 1,500 miles of collection sewers has pipe segments that range in age from new to over 100 years old. Some of these pipe segments are at the end of their useful life. This is evidenced by high maintenance costs and increases in call - outs by Collection System Operations Department (CSOD). Over 300 miles of small diameter sewers were constructed more than 40 years ago throughout the District, and the majority of sewers within the City of Lafayette fall into this category. The District implemented the sewer renovation program in 1991. Since that time an annual allowance for this program has been included in the Capital Improvement Budget and Plan. This program is an ongoing series of projects. Candidate sewer line segments are identified, evaluated, and placed on a priority list for replacement and /or renovation. The Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project will renovate or replace five (5) segments identified in the City of Lafayette. 3/28/02 h \Design \Position Papers \2002 \5607award.wpd Page 1 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: April 4, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO RANGER PIPELINES, INCORPORATED, FOR THE LAFAYETTE SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT, PHASE 3A, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5607 The project was originally scheduled to bid in June of 2002. In January 2002, the City of Lafayette indicated to the District its plans to repave /reconstruct in Calendar Year 2002 several of the roads (Ortega and Perales Streets, Sibert Court and Cerro Encantado) in which some of these line segments are located. Once repaved, the City has a five year moratorium on trenching. The District's Phase 3A project will reconstruct the sewers in these areas ahead of the City's project. To reduce repeated future impacts on residents, line segments in the same vicinity have been added to the District's Phase 3A project bringing the total footage of sewer to be replaced /rehabilitated to approximately 1,100 LF (see Attachment 1 for map). The plans and specifications for the Phase 3A of the project were prepared by District staff. The engineer's estimate for construction of Phase 3A is $182,000. This project was advertised on March 8 and 13, 2002. Four sealed bids ranging from $168,350 to $ 210,170 were received and publicly opened on March 22, 2002. A summary of bids received is shown in Attachment 2. The Capital Projects Division staff conducted a technical and commercial review of the bids and determined that the bid submitted by Ranger Pipelines, Incorporated, is the lowest responsible bid. The District will administer the construction contract and will provide contract administration, inspection, survey, office engineering, and shop drawing review. The funds required to complete this project, as shown in Attachment 3, are $237,600. The total cost of the Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project, Phase 3A, is anticipated to be $237,600. Construction of the improvements to the Lafayette sewers is included in the fiscal year 2001 -2002 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages CS -12 through CS -15. The project manager has reviewed the expenditure requirements for this allocation and has determined that they are consistent with the Capital Improvement Budget and Plan. Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 18.2, since it involves only alterations of existing facilities with negligible or no expansion of capacity. Authorization of the construction contract for this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that the project is exempt from CEQA. 3/28/02 is \Design \Position Papers \2002 \5607award.wpd Page 2 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: April 4, 2000 Subject: AUTHORIZE AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO RANGER PIPELINES, INCORPORATED, FOR THE LAFAYETTE SEWER RENOVATION PROJECT, PHASE 3A, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5607 RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize award of a construction contract in the amount of $ 168,350 for construction of the Lafayette Sewer Renovation Project, Phase 3A, D.P. 5607, to Ranger Pipelines, Incorporated, the lowest responsible bidder. 3/28/02 I: \Design \Position Papers \2002 \5607award.wpd Page 3 of 6 Y T Central Contra Costa Sanitary District LAFAYETTE SEWER RENOVATION PHASE 3A PERALES ST./ORTEGA ST., SIBERT CT., & TANGLEWOOD DR. 0 Attachment Page 4 of 6 II Attachment 2 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District SUMMARY OF BIDS PROJECT NO.

ENGINEERING Type of Action: SET DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING Subject: ESTABLISH MAY 9, 2002, AS THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DISTRICT CODE 6.38, RECYCLED WATER CHARGES Submitted By: Initiating DeptJDiv.: Don Berger, Associate Engineer Engineering /Environmental Services Division REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. D. �B, R. Schmidt C. Swanson A. Fa ell Charles *ae General ISSUE: It is the District's practice to conduct a public hearing prior to revising District Code provisions regarding fees, rates, and charges. RECOMMENDATION: Establish May 9, 2002, as the date for a public hearing to receive comments on a proposed Ordinance amending District Code Chapter 6.38, Recycled Water Charges. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If adopted, the proposed Ordinance will increase first year revenues from recycled water. For the first year this would be approximately $20,000. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not raising rates would result in a loss of potential revenue needed to cover the operating and capital costs of the program. BACKGROUND: In 1998, the Board amended the District Code to include Chapter 6.38 on Recycled Water Charges. This chapter describes recycled water customer classifications, volume charges, retrofit charges, and the billing cycle. Recycled water rates have remained unchanged since 1998, and it is now appropriate to consider increasing rates to comparable levels charged by other agencies. The proposed Ordinance (draft attached) will set recycled water rates at 80% of the rates for a customer's competing water source (i.e., potable or canal water). This is comparable to recycled water rates charged by other agencies and keeps rates attractive for marketing potential new customers, which is important for the development of additional revenue sources. The financial viability of connecting individual new customers will be evaluated, and additional fees or surcharges may be applied to customers with high cost to benefit ratios when the costs of providing water exceeds anticipated revenue. 3/28/02 U: \PPr \Bertera \ratehearing.wpd Page 1 of 9 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: April 4, 2002 Subject: ESTABLISH MAY 9, 2002, AS THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DISTRICT CODE 6.38, RECYCLED WATER CHARGES A public hearing will allow current and future customers to comment on the proposed charges. Staff recommends that the hearing be held on May 9, 2002, at the regularly scheduled Board meeting. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Establish May 9, 2002, as the date for a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed Ordinance to amend District Code 6.38, Recycled Water Charges. 3/28/02 U: \PPr \Bertera \ratehearing.wpd Page 2 of Q ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE No. 209, WHICH ESTABLISHED A STRUCTURE FOR RECYCLED WATER RATES LISTED IN THE CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT CODE WHEREAS, on December 3, 1998 the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District ( "District ") passed and adopted Ordinance No. 209, which established a structure for recycled water rates by adding Chapter 6.38 to the District Code; and WHEREAS, the District has established the goal of "Recycling High Quality Water;" and WHEREAS, in response to this goal, the District has developed a substantial recycled water program, which is primarily targeted for landscape irrigation; and WHEREAS, the rate structure established by Ordinance No. 209 contains eight separate rates that vary depending on volume usage and customer category; and WHEREAS, the District has determined the rate structure established by Ordinance No. 209 is unnecessarily complex and should be replaced by a simpler rate structure; and WHEREAS, the District is an authorized producer and purveyor of recycled water pursuant to a "Project Specific Agreement for Zone One Recycled Water Project' approved by the District and the Contra Costa Water District on November 22, 1994; and WHEREAS, the District is permitted by the State of California, San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, to produce and supply treated effluent as recycled water; and WHEREAS, it is appropriate for customers to pay their share of the costs to produce and supply treated effluent as recycled water; and WHEREAS, in order to encourage use of recycled water, thereby promoting the conservation of the potable water supply, the District recognizes the need to price recycled water so as to provide an economically competitive alternative to local potable Doc #: 260707 v.1 1 Page 3 of 9 DRAFT water sources while recovering the maximum amount of the cost of producing and delivering recycled water, which is feasible dependant on the cost of the alternative water sources available; and WHEREAS, the costs associated with the production and supply of treated effluent as recycled water are anticipated to be recovered over a period of years through the application of a schedule of charges that reflect charges for service consistent with long term capital recovery and competitive pricing while not exceeding the cost of providing the service. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District does ordain as follows: SECTION 1. — Title 6, Chapter 6.38 of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Code shall be amended as follows: (a) The title of Chapter 6.38 shall be amended to read: "Recycled Water Charges — Landscape Irrigation." (b) Section 6 38 010 Findings shall be amended as follows: A. The District Board of Directors finds that pursuant to Title 11 of the District Code, the District is authorized to produce recycled water for the purpose of encouraging conservation of potable water supplies. Therefore, the Board further finds that it is appropriate to adopt a rate structure based upon the lowest possible cost consistent with sound economy and prudent management, which includes a balancing of the District's own cost recovery concerns against the requirements of providing recycled water at the lowest possible cost and rates. In addition, the Board finds that the recycled water rate structure shall be based upon the cost of service analysis which includes actual operating and maintenance costs, debt service and capital costs based upon a maximum amortization period of thirty years. The proposed rate structure is intended to recover such costs, and is not intended to benerate unreasonable or excessive surplus revenues or profits to the District. The Board further finds that the rate structure hereinafter set forth is designed to conserve the public potable water supply for the greatest public benefit, and does not exceed the reasonable cost to provide the service. Doc #: 260707 v.1 2 Page 4 of 9 DRAFT B. The rate structure for recycled water is established pursuant to District Code, Chapter 11.50, Recycled Water Pricing. This rate structure shall apply to each customer according to classification of that customer. A customer's classification is based on their alternative water source. C. This rate structure for recycled water is intended to help implement the State constitutional mandate set forth in Article X, Section 2, which states that water resources of the State are to be put to beneficial use, to the fullest extent of which they are capable, and that waste of potable water (through an unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use) should be prevented. In order for the appropriate use of recycled water to be maximized, the rate structure for recycled water must be competitive with, or favorable to, corresponding local costs for alternative sources of potable water. This rate structure is designed to be competitive with current potable water pricing structures. However, if drought or other circumstances alter the demand for or pricing of recycled water, nothing herein shall prevent the District from modifying these rates or adopting alternative rate structures to facilitate accelerated cost recovery, including capital costs. D The Board finds the rates set forth herein for the specified categories do not exceed the cost of providing recycled water service to District customers which costs include incremental costs of producing effluent that meet California Code of Regulations Title 22 requirements for recycled water, delivery costs maintenance cost administration and overhead costs and recovery of capital costs. E. The Board finds that the following recycled water rate structure is based upon a just standard of reasonableness, given the complexity in determining the actual incremental costs to provide the service. (c) Section 6.38.020 — Customer Classification shall be amended to read as follows: The General Manager -Chief Engi n°°" shall classify each customer by estimating the _ elt sae evaluating the water source alternative to of recycled water that the customer Doc #: 260707 v.l 3 Page 5 of 9 DRAFT and other- appheable water- demand ehar-aeteristies speeifie to that eustemer-'s site has available to it. The District may, from time to time, reclassify a customer based on a new esfiffia4e that n A_ „a , e 1eiv,°a u ate M change in the customer's alternative water source to recycled water. The General Manger -Chief Engine°" shall classify each customer according to one of the following defined classifications: Class I: Potable Class II: Canal/Well (d) Section 6 38 030 — Declining Block Rate Structure — Volume Charge shall be deleted in its entirety and amended to read as follows: 6 38 030 — Land Irrigation Rate Structure. A A rate structure based on setting rates at or below the cost of providing service and priced in a manner to compete with alternative water supply costs encourages the use of recycled water, thus conserving the state potable water supply for the erg atest public benefit Accordingly, a volume charge based upon rates set for the user classification shall be applied to the volume of recycled water measured and reported during each billing cycle for that customer based on the customer's classification: Alternative Water Customer Volume Volume Source Classification Charge Per Charge Per Acre Foot Thousand Gallons Potable I $750 $2.30 Canal/Well II $355 $1.09 B The rates set forth above will automatically be increased, in an amount equal to three percent (3 %) of the then existing rates starting on July 1, 2003 and occurring each year thereafter, without further action of the Board. The 4 Doc #: 260707 v.I Page 6 of 9 DRAFT three percent (3 %) increase is required in order to provide for the increasing costs associated with the regulation, inflation, and to maximize cost recovery of the District for its recycled water program while obtaining competitive rates. This annualized automatic increase shall remain in effect until further action of the Board. C. For existing customers as of the date of the amendment to this Code Section the rate structure listed under this Section shall not result in the rates charged to such customers to increase by more than 25% each year. Once the existing customers' rates meet those established under this Section, then the 25% annual rate increase cap shall no longer apply. D. Certain District customers are provided service pursuant to existing contracts that provide for a limitation of maximum fees and charges to be imposed for recycled water. In the event that the rates required by this Ordinance provide for rates and charges to the contractual customer in an amount that is in excess of the contractual terms the rates and charges shall be reduced to the maximum allowable charges for recycled water provided for in the contract. (e) Section 6.38.040 — System Isolation Charge shall be deleted in its entirety and amended to read: 6.3 8.040 — Connection Fees. Connection Fees shall be imposed on new customers to recoup District costs, in providing a recycled water infra structure and isolating the customer's existing system from the recycled water system. including capital costs, in connecting a new customer to the recycled water stem. The Connection Fees are intended to fully compensate the District for its reasonable costs incurred in design and construction activities in extending its facilities to connect a new customer, and for any design and construction or improvements required to isolate the potable water supply from the recycled water supply. These Connection Fees shall include both the costs of connecting new customers to the recycled water system "Connection Costs ") and the costs of isolating the new customer's recycled water facilities from their potable water facilities ( "System Isolation Costs"). Doc #: 260707 v.1 Page 7 of 9 DRAFT The new customer must pay Connections Fees including Connection Costs and System Isolation Costs prior to the District undertaking the construction activities required to provide service. Alternatively, the Customer may enter into a contract with the District which shall provide adequate security for payment of the connection fees prior to the District incurring those costs of providing for a connection to the recycled water system. The District may assist new customers by financing the Connection Fees over a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years from the date of initiating recycled water service No right to obtain a connection or to finance connection fees, is created by these provisions All decisions concerning the extension of service to a new customer and financing of the Connection Fees shall be made on a case by case basis at the discretion of the District. (f) Subsection 6.38.055 is to be added to the District Code as follows: 6.38.055 — Cost - Benefit Analysis. Before committing to a new customer connection the District shall perform a Cost - Benefit Analysis to determine whether it is cost effective to connect the new customer to the recycled water system. If the Cost - Benefit Analysis indicates that the new customer connection would not be financially beneficial to the District the District may decline to design and construct the improvements necessary to connect the new customer to the recycled water system. (g) Current District Code Subsections 6.38.050 and 6.38.060 will remain unchanged. SECTION 2. All provisions of the District Code not specifically addressed in Section 1 shall remain in force and unchanged. Doc #: 260707 v.1 6 Page 8 of 9 DRAFT SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall be a general regulation of the District, and shall be published once in the Contra Costa Times, a newspaper of general circulation within the District, and shall be effective on the seventh day following such publication.

A "e� - D. Ratcliff R. MLAgraves General r ISSUE: Board approval is required to adopt Amendment No. 1 to the District's Cafeteria Plan document. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board adopt Amendment No. 1 to the District's Cafeteria Plan document to meet new Internal Revenue Code (IRS) requirements. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: If the Amendment No. 1 is not approved by the Board, the District's Cafeteria Plan would be in violation of the IRS code. BACKGROUND: Per the existing Memorandum of Understandings the three employee groups receive a fixed amount each month to spend on a variety of benefit options offered in the Cafeteria Plan. This Cafeteria Plan is governed by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRS). The Plan allows employees the option of spending their monthly benefit allowance on a variety of taxable and non - taxable benefits. The law firm of Trucker • Huss, who specializes in benefit law, has been asked to review the Cafeteria Plan documents annually to ensure compliance with any changes in IRS Code. The Internal Revenue Service issued new regulations on January 10, 2001, which become effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2002. The last revision to the Cafeteria Plan document was effective January 1, 2001. Amendment No. 1 amends Section 3.6 "Change or Revocation of Elections" to reflect final regulations pertaining to the circumstances under which a plan participant may change his or her election under a cafeteria plan.

These fees and expenses differ for each fund invested. As a general rule, the higher the potential reward, the higher the risk, the higher the fee. The reverse is also generally true, the lower the potential reward, the lower the risk, the lower the fee. Example of fees on an annual basis: Assume you are a plan participant and you invest in the American Century Ultra Fund, depending on the provider you choose, you would pay the following annual asset -based charges: Plan Fees Plan Administration Fee Fund Expenses Mutual Fund Services Fee American Century Credit Total Participant Fees Paid to the Plan Provider Fund Fee (% charged by American Century) Total Annual Cost N/A = Not applicable * Administration fee differs for each fund invested.

Some of the underlying mutual funds in the Mutual Fund Series currently rebate ICMA for accounting and other services. These reimbursements received from the mutual funds are applied to offset all or part of that fee. Consequently, as of 12/31/01, the mutual fund services fee was fully offset by reimbursements for 13 of the 16 funds of the Mutual Fund Series. The net mutual fund services fee after reimbursements was 0.03% for the American Century Ultra and Value Funds and was 0.25% for the Vanguard Wellington Fund. Reimbursements may be discontinued at any time by mutual funds at their discretion. * ** Because American Century pays an annual fee to the Retirement Corporation or its broker /dealer affiliate for providing certain services (which in turn is credited in full to the American Century Fund offered by ICMA), your actual Mutual Fund Services Fee would be 0.03% (0.25% standard fee minus 0.22 %), for a total cost of 0.03% paid to ICMA. Therefore, a provider may charge additional types of fees, but the total fees paid to the provider and in total may vary significantly. Page 12 of 12 S: \ADMIN \FINANCES \Summary of Feesl.wpd
