Mestet y A. Wtkowiak . Pilecki arr I Jarnesft Kelly, General Manager ISSUE: On September 8, 2006, three sealed bids were received and opened for the construction of the San Ramon Force Main Landscape Mitigation, District Project No. 5924. The Board of Directors must award the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the bid opening. Board of Director's authorization is required for Agreements with other Public Agencies that exceed $50,000. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager of the District to execute Agreements with the City of San Ramon and the Dublin San Ramon Services District — East Bay Municipal Utility District Recycled Water Authority (DERWA) for the San Ramon Force Main Landscape Mitigation. Award a construction contract and authorize the General Manager to execute the Contract Documents. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Under the proposed Agreements with the City of San Ramon and DERWA, the District will provide landscape planting at six entrances to the Iron Horse Trail. DERWA will provide four water meters at no cost to the District. The City of San Ramon will assume ownership and long -term maintenance for the landscaping. Total project cost including design, water meters, bid price, contingency and construction management is $346,585. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject all bids, which is not recommended because the landscape mitigation was part of the San Ramon Force Main Encroachment Permit requirements with the City of San Ramon. WPESUP \Cbradley \Position Papers\2006 \September \5924 - Award PP.doc Page 1 of 6 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: September 21, 2006 subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE DISTRICT TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY OF SAN RAMON AND DERWA FOR THE SAN RAMON FORCE MAIN LANDSCAPE MITIGATION PROJECT, AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS WITH AMERICAN CIVIL CONSTRUCTORS FOR THE SAN RAMON FORCE MAIN LANDSCAPE MITIGATION, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5924 BACKGROUND: In 2002, the District installed 12,800 feet of 24 -inch force main from the San Ramon Pumping Station to 700 feet north of Norris Canyon Road along the Iron Horse Trail Corridor. The City of San Ramon's Encroachment Permit for the project required the installation of landscape to mitigate the impacts of construction on the Iron Horse Trail. Implementation of the landscape mitigation was delayed to accommodate the construction of DERWA's recycled water line. Since DERWA's recycled water line impacted four of the same trail entrances as the District's Force Main Project, DERWA has agreed to contribute to the cost of the landscape mitigation by providing four water meters at no cost to the District. The City of San Ramon will assume ownership and long -term maintenance of the landscaping upon completion of the installation. To codify these understandings, Board authorization is being requested for the General Manager to enter into Agreements with DERWA and the City of San Ramon. The project consists of providing landscape planting at six of the entrances to the Iron Horse Trail Corridor impacted by the District's force main project (see Attachment 1). District staff and Gates and Associates prepared the plans and specifications for the project. The Engineer's estimate for construction of the San Ramon Force Main Landscape Mitigation is $160,000. This project was advertised on August 18 and 25, 2006. Three sealed bids ranging from $157,900 to $225,500 were received and publicly opened on September 8, 2006. The Engineering Department conducted a technical and commercial review of the bids and determined that American Civil Constructors is the lowest responsive bidder with a bid amount of $157,900. A summary of bids received is shown in Attachment 2. The District will administer the construction contract and will provide contract administration, inspection, survey, office engineering, and submittal review. The funds required to complete this project, as shown in Attachment 3, are $26,600. The total cost of San Ramon Force Main Landscape Mitigation is anticipated to be $346,585. This project is included in the fiscal year 2006 -2007 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) on pages CS -115 to 116. Staff has conducted a cash -flow analysis of the Collection System Program Authorization and concluded that adequate funds are available for this project.

Approval of this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that the project is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager of the District to execute Agreements with the City of San Ramon and DERWA for the San Ramon Force Main Landscape Mitigation Project.

(Pilecki) The heavy rains of last winter eroded a significant portion of the Happy Valley Creek bank at 25 Cosso Court in Lafayette and compromised the integrity of the ten -inch sewer in the vicinity of the bank. District staff worked with the property owner to repair the creek bank before the onset of wet weather later this year. As part of the settlement agreement with the Sammann Trust, the District agreed to contribute $20,000 to the repair once the work was satisfactorily completed. The creek bank was repaired in August at a total cost of $60,000. This is provided as an informational item to the Board since staff has $25,000 authority to settle claims. b) Announce advertisement for blanket contracts for utility locating services and survey monument restoration. (Mestetsky) Staff intends to advertise for bids for two blanket contracts for utility locating services and survey monument restoration on October 4 and October 9, 2006. The utility location services contract is to field verify record information. The results are used to evaluate alternatives during design and to minimize change orders during construction. The Engineer's estimate for the locating services is $50,000. The survey monument restoration contract is to rebuild survey monuments damaged or destroyed during construction. The survey monuments have to be restored under supervision of a licensed land surveyor and in accordance with county requirements to insure proper installation. The survey monument restoration cost estimate is $36,000. Staff plans to request award of these blanket contracts at the November 2 Board Meeting. c) Announce advertisement for Service Air System Improvements. (Hodges) The Service Air System, which provides compressed air for instrumentation and mechanical units is one of the critical plant systems. The present compressors have been in service for approximately 20 years and are reaching the end of their design life. This project will install two new compressors and rehabilitate one existing unit to serve as a standby unit. The new compressors will provide energy savings and ensure a reliable supply of compressed service air. This project will advertise in October 2006 and bids will be opened in November 2006. The construction cost is currently estimated at $1,500,000. More information will be presented when Board approval of the construction contract is requested. d) Announce staff attendance at IPMA -HR conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 7 -11, 2006. (Millier) Human Resources Manager Cathryn Freitas will attend the International Public Management Association for Human Resources training conference in Las Vegas on October 7 through October 11. This conference covers a wide variety of topics for public management HR professionals and focuses this year on succession planning, building leadership, and addressing generational differences in the workplace. Topics of particular interest are "Labor Relations for the Next Generation ", "Generations X and Y: Their Ethical Hot Buttons ", and "Recruitment Strategies: Filling Hard -to -Fill Positions ". Funds to cover the cost of attendance were included in the budget. e) Purchase of Natural Gas. (Craig) Landfill gas has not been available since July 22 when Bulldog Power and Gas shut down for maintenance related to excessive condensate in the gas. With the uncertainty as to when Bulldog will be operating again District staff has purchased natural gas for both September and October. The board was notified on September 7 of the September gas purchase at a price on $6.62 per decatherm. Staff recently purchased October natural gas at a price of $5.92 per decatherm. Further purchases may be necessary and will be considered in agenda item 9.a. f) Alhambra Valley Trunk Sewer Update. (Swanson, Rozul) Construction of Phase 1 of the Trunk Sewer Project is nearing completion. Approximately 3300 feet of 10 and 12 inch trunk sewer has been installed along Alhambra Valley Road. The contractor, Mountain Cascade, Inc., is finishing restoration and the installation of sewer laterals. Completion of the contract work is anticipated by October 13. The environmental review of the trunk sewer across the National Park Service property is continuing. A draft environmental assessment for the project is 95% complete. A meeting for interested public agencies, organizations and the public to discuss the scope of the environmental assessment is scheduled for October 12. After the scoping meeting, the draft environmental assessment will be completed and submitted to the National Park Service for review. Staff is preparing a report and procedures for a program to finance sewer extensions and connections in the Alhambra Valley. Staff expects to present this report to the Board of Directors for approval at either the October 19 or November 2 Board meeting. g) Announce HVAC Project Board Room Impacts (Pilecki) The recently- awarded HVAC Project includes replacing the Board Room roof and air conditioning system. In order to replace the roof before the start of rains, work on the Board Room is scheduled to start on September 22, 2006. To facilitate construction, the October 5th and 19th Board Meetings will be moved to the Multi - Purpose Room. Temporary heating and cooling in the Board Room should be operational by the first Board Meeting in November. The permanent heating and cooling system will be completed by April 2007.

TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN OF THE CONCORD INDUSTRIAL, CLYDE, AND MARTINEZ PUMPING STATIONS UPGRADES, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5971 Submitted By: Initiating DeptJDiv.: Sasha Mestetsky, Associate Engineer Engineering / Capital Projects REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION. �ZJ W 1 S. Mes tsky A. Antkowiak T. Pilecki A. F rrell James M. Ily, General Maya ger ISSUE: The Board of Directors' authorization is required for the General Manager to execute professional engineering services agreements for amounts greater than $50,000. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to execute an agreement with Lee & Ro., Inc. to provide design services for the Concord Industrial, Clyde, and Martinez Pumping Stations Upgrades, District Project No. 5971, with a cost ceiling of $60,000. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The estimated design cost for this project, including District Staff, is $80,000. A detailed estimate of the construction cost will be completed after the project is designed. The total project cost is expected to be approximately $450,000. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: An alternative would be to design the project in- house, however, the District does not have the staff nor the necessary electrical and instrumentation capabilities to design the project. BACKGROUND: Pumping Station Operations staff has identified a number of deficiencies and improvements needed at the Concord Industrial, Clyde, and Martinez Pumping Stations (see attached map). The improvements at the Concord Industrial Pumping Station include installation of a new standby generator, replacement of an existing Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), and other operational and safety improvements. Improvements to the pumping station will be limited to those that are necessary to maintain operational integrity of the existing pumping station in light of the potential future impacts to the pumping station if the Concord Naval Weapons Station should be developed. The Clyde Pumping Station will be equipped with a new standby NAPESUP \Cbradley \Position Papers\2006 \September \5971 - Concord Industrial PS.doc Page 1 of 3 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: September 21, 2006 subject. AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH LEE & RO, INC. TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN OF THE CONCORD INDUSTRIAL, CLYDE, AND MARTINEZ PUMPING STATIONS UPGRADES, DISTRICT PROJECT NO. 5971 generator and flood protection measures. An emergency bypass pump connection will be installed at the Martinez Pumping Station. District staff requested informal cost proposals from two (2) consulting firms for the design of the Concord Industrial, Clyde, and Martinez Pumping Stations Upgrades, District Project No. 5971. After reviewing the qualifications of the proposed project teams, the specialized experience in similar projects, and to allow new consultants to perform work for the District, the proposal from Lee & Ro, Inc. was considered the best fit for the project. Staff has negotiated a professional engineering services agreement with Lee & Ro, Inc. with a cost ceiling of $60,000 for the design only. Lee & Ro, Inc. may also be asked to provide support services (estimated at $20,000) during construction. The amount of the construction support contract will be negotiated at that time. The Concord Industrial, Clyde, and Martinez Pumping Stations Upgrades are included in the 2006/07 CIB on pages CS -83 through 86 and CS -97 and 98. Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301, since it involves only alterations of existing facilities with negligible or no expansion of dry- weather capacity. Authorization of the construction contract for this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that the project is exempt from CEQA. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to execute a professional engineering services agreement with Lee & Ro, Inc. with a cost ceiling of $60,000 for the design of the Concord Industrial, Clyde, and Martinez Pumping Stations Upgrades, District Project No. 5971.

TREATMENT PLANT Type of Action: AUTHORIZE PURCHASE Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO CONSIDER PREPURCHASE OF NATURAL GAS IN LIEU OF LANDFILL GAS FOR THE PERIOD OF NOVEMBER 1, 2006, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2007 Submitted By: Douglas J. Craig, Initiating Dept /Div. Plant Operations Division Manager Operations / Plant Operations REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: 4. Craig James M. elly, General anager ISSUE: Board authorization is requested for the General Manager to prepurchase natural gas. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to prepurchase natural gas in lieu of landfill gas for the period of November 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If landfill gas is not available, prepurchasing natural gas at favorable market conditions could result in substantial cost savings to the District. Purchasing natural gas under favorable market conditions may still be more expensive than the cost of landfill gas under the existing Gas Sales Agreement with Bulldog Gas and Power (BGP), LLC, the District's landfill gas provider. However, there is uncertainty as to whether landfill gas will be available and at what future cost. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: BGP could resolve the current condensate problems, agree to a mutually acceptable gas sales agreement, and deliver landfill gas at an acceptable discount price. Prompt resolution of these issues is necessary to assure that the District can buy natural gas at favorable market conditions if a mutually acceptable gas sales agreement cannot be achieved. BACKGROUND: On July 25, 2006, BGP notified the District of its intent to terminate the Landfill Gas Sales Agreement effective November 1, 2006. BGP has not delivered landfill gas to the District since July 22, 2006, which has required the District to purchase natural gas to run the multiple -hearth furnace and auxiliary boilers. BGP's facility was shut down for maintenance activities and problems N: \POSUP \Correspondence \Position Papers\2006 \Natural Gas - LFG Prepurchase.doc Page 1 Of 2 POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: September 21, 2006 Subject: AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO CONSIDER PREPURCHASE OF NATURAL GAS IN LIEU OF LANDFILL GAS FOR THE PERIOD OF NOVEMBER 1, 2006, THROUGH JUNE 30, 2007 with excessive condensate in the landfill gas. BGP has verbally indicated that it may be able to deliver landfill gas by late September. Since landfill gas has not been available, District staff has purchased supplemental natural gas through October 2006. Due to the uncertainties of available landfill gas and the Notice of Termination by BGP, it is prudent for the District to consider gas purchase options, at least through the fiscal year. Purchasing natural gas in the winter generally does not result in favorable gas prices. In addition there has been no indication by BGP whether it has been able to develop and implement corrective actions to eliminate the condensate in the landfill gas. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the General Manager to prepurchase natural gas in lieu of landfill gas for the period of November 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007.

The District Code also requires that the Board " ...shall from time to time establish by resolution designated positions of officers and employees deemed to make, or participate in the making of, decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on a financial interest." It has been the practice of the District to review the designated positions on an annual basis and to amend the Conflict of Interest Code as necessitated by any changed circumstances, including the creation of new positions, deletion of positions, and relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions.
