Capital improvements are construction, acquisition or renovation activities which add value to the District's fixed assets (buildings, pipelines, facilities, equipment) or significantly increase their useful life. The District's FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) details expenditures of approximately $25.9 million for the planning, design and construction of treatment plant, collection system, general improvements, and recycled water projects. By adopting the CIB, the Board of Directors authorizes staff to pursue this work. In addition to the CIB for the upcoming year, the Board approves aTen -Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that forecasts needed expenditures. The CIP focuses on facility renovation, expansion and future regulatory compliance projects. It estimates expenditures for the next ten years at $345 million (in 2011 dollars). The CIB and CIP also include projected revenues and cash flow discussions to demonstrate how planned expenditures could be funded. Each planned project addresses one or more District goals: • Protect public health and the environment • Maintain existing assets • Respond to regulatory and community concerns • Accommodate planned growth This year we continue to be faced with some challenges and opportunities. Our revenue stream for the next several years is projected to be significantly reduced due to the downturn in the U.S. economy. This downturn has also created an opportunity by substantially reducing the number of projects under construction in the marketplace, resulting in a very competitive bid climate. The recommended budget projects that expenditures will exceed revenue, but will maintain an appropriate Sewer Construction Fund balance. This summary describes the major projects for FY 2011 -12, the major projects included in the Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan, and the revenue streams that will support the planned expenditures. FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Budget The FY 2011 -12 CIB includes expenditures of approximately $25.9 M for planning, design and construction of capital projects in four programs: • Treatment Plant • Collection System • General Improvements • Recycled Water Each of the programs is divided into subprograms to track different types of work. Most of the money will be spent on renovation or preservation of capital assets, as shown in the following table: Capital Pro Subprogram Treatment Plant Program Planned Expenditure . $7.1 million (27 %) Regulatory Compliance /Planning $0.7 million One -Time Renovation $4.1 million Recurring Renovation $2.2 million Expansion /Capacity Improvements /Miscellaneous $5,000 Collection System Program $12.8 million (50 %) Renovation $7.8 million Regulatory Compliance /Planning $0.4 million Expansion /Capacity Improvements $3.4 million Pumping Stations /Force Mains $1.3 million General Improvements Program $5.4 million (21%) Vehicles and Equipment $0.9 million Management Information Systems $0.9 million CSO Facility Improvements $2.1 million All Other $1.6 million Recycled Water Program Total $0.6 million $25.9 Major Project Emphasis Although the CIB is made up of funding estimates for many individual projects, each year there are several major projects which together account for a majority of total estimated capital expenditures. In FY 2011 -12, the emphasis will be on 15 large projects, which together account for $16,777,000, or 65 percent of the total estimated expenditures. Estimated FY 2011 -12 expenditures for each of these projects are noted below. Collection Systems Operations Department Facility Improvements FY 2011 -12: $2,025,000 Estimated total project cost: $13,654,000 This project consists of design and construction of a new Collection Systems Operations administration, crew, and warehouse building at 1250 Springbrook Road in Walnut Creek. The project also includes site improvements such as new paving and landscaping. Completion is scheduled for summer 2011. The Collection System Operations Department Facility building is scheduled for completion in summer 2011. Lafayette - Pleasant Hill Road Trunk Sewer FY 2011 -12: $1,900,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,411,000 This project will construct a 15 -inch relief sewer along Pleasant Hill Road from Springhill Road to Stanley Boulevard in Lafayette. Deficient sewers in nearby neighborhoods will be upsized within their current alignments. South Orinda Sewer Renovations — Phase 5 FY 2011 -12: $1,800,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,167,800 This project will replace /rehabilitate approximately 12,000 feet of 6 -inch through 8 -inch sewer pipe at several sites in Orinda. �t Construction in a narrow easement between two properties, not unusual for many of the District's renovation projects. Walnut Creek Sewer Renovations — Phase 8 FY 2011 -12: $1,800,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,149,700 This project will replace /rehabilitate approximately 10,000 feet of 6 -inch through 8 -inch sewer pipe at several sites throughout the City of Walnut Creek and neighboring unincorporated areas. Open -cut construction in the street can be less disruptive than construction in easements. Lafayette Sewer Renovations — Phase 7 FY 2011 -12: $1,790,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,113,600 The project will replace /rehabilitate approximately 13,000 feet of 6 -inch and 8 -inch sewer pipe at several sites throughout the City of Lafayette and neighboring unincorporated areas. Treatment Plant Piping Renovations — Phase 6 FY 2011 -12: $1,000,000 Estimated Total project cost: $1,145,000 This is the continuation of a project to replace or renovate aging piping systems in the treatment plant. Pump & Blower Building Seismic Upgrade FY 2011 -12: $1,000,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,155,000 In 2009, a seismic evaluation of treatment plant facilities was completed. Included in the evaluation are recommendations to retrofit the Pump and Blower Building to comply with current seismic design standards. Vehicles & Equipment Acquisition FY 2011 -12: $891,000 Estimated total project cost: $891,000 Purchases of vehicles and major equipment are made under this capital project. Auxiliary Boiler Burner Upgrade FY 2011 -12: $750,000 Estimated total project cost: $855,000 This project will replace the burners in the two auxiliary boilers and modify related ancillary systems to meet upcoming air emissions regulations that require significant reductions in NO emissions. Primary Treatment Renovation FY 2011 -12: $750,000 Estimated total project cost: $6,540,000 This project will renovate or replace the water and air supply pipelines at the primary sedimentation tanks. This project also includes improvements to the scum and grit systems and a new baffle system to improve solids settling. The new Sludge Handling Facility is almost complete. Treatment Plant Protective Coatings — Phase 4 FY 2011 -12: $725,000 Estimated total project cost: $835,000 This project will clean and coat critical areas in the headworks, SCB basement, Pump and Blower Building basement, clear well, sludge blending area, and the fuel oil storage tanks. Application of coatings extends the useful life and minimizes corrosion of treatment plant equipment, piping, and surfaces. Outfall Improvements — Phase 6 FY 2011 -12: $685,000 Estimated total project cost: $1,085,000 This project will inspect both the land and submarine portions of the treatment plant outfall, and will make repairs as needed. Information Technology Development FY 2011 -12: $602,000 Estimated total project cost: N/A This project provides funding for the replacement and continued development of the District's computer and telecommunications technology. San Ramon Pump Station Upgrades FY 2011 -12: $549,000 Estimated total project cost: $579,000 This project will replace existing dry weather pumps to provide the capacity needed to handle increased flow from the San Ramon area. Seismic Improvements for HOB FY 2011 -12: $510,000 Estimated total project cost: $2,523,000 Structural steel frames constructed before the most recent Northridge earthquake may weaken during an earthquake and be unable to resist the forces generated during a seismic event. These steel framing problems in combination with the building's flexibility are the primary reasons for the HOB's seismic vulnerability. This project will retrofit the HOB to ensure a life- safety level of structural performance. Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan The District updates its Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan each year to guide long -range policy and to: • Identify, prioritize, and schedule capital projects for the ten -year period. • Provide financial resources for completing those capital projects. The plan covers FY 2011 -12 through FY 2020 -21 and projects total expenditures of approximately $345 million (in 2011 dollars), or an average of $34.5 million per year, as described in the following table: Capital Pro Expenditure Cate Renovation (one -time and recurring) Dollars $ 208 million Percent 60% Expansion (capacity increases for new customers) $ 37 million 11% Regulation- Driven $ 84 million 24% Miscellaneous $ 16 million 5% Total 10 -Year Capital Program Expenditures $345 million 100% The plan is divided into the same four programs as the budget. While a large portion of the plan is devoted to ongoing renovation, several projects address capacity and regulatory issues. The following table lists projected ten -year expenditures by program and subprogram. A brief description of the major projects /programs not described in the FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Budget section follows the table. Capital Pro Treatment Plant Program Planned 10 Year Expenditure $146.5 million (42 %) Regulatory Compliance /Planning $81.3 million One -Time Renovation $33.9 million Recurring Renovation $28.8 million Expansion /Capacity Improvements /Miscellaneous $2.4 million Collection System Program $171.6 million (50 %) Renovation $120.1 million Regulatory Compliance /Planning $2.5 million Expansion /Capacity Improvements $34.6 million Pumping Stations /Force Mains $14.3 million General Improvements Program $21.5 million (6 %) Vehicles and Equipment $5.4 million Management Information Systems $5.6 million All Other $10.5 million Recycled Water Program Capital Improvement Plan Total $5.5 million (2 %) $345.1 million (100%) District Seismic Improvements: Substantial changes have been made to seismic design standards. Recent evaluation of District buildings identified a number of necessary improvements to address the new standards. These improvements will provide increased safety for personnel and protection of plant processes. Buildin Solids Conditioning Building Construction in Year 2013 -14 $5,055,000 Plant Operations Building 2015 -16 $1,240,000 Pump & Blower Building 2011 -12 $2,155,000 Warehouse 2016 -17 $895,000 Laboratory 2015 -16 $192 Headquarters Office Building (in GIP) 2011 -12 $2,523,000 Rental Properties (in GIP) 2011 -12 $640,000 Total Seismic Improvements $12,740,000 The Bay Area is seismically active. District facilities have been evaluated and $12.7 million is currently budgeted for retrofitting various buildings over the next several years. Sewer Renovation Program: In 2002, the District initiated a long -term program to televise all 1,447 miles of its gravity sewers. To date, the program has televised approximately 1,100 miles of sewers. Taking into account sewer mains renovated since the start of the TV program, approximately 53 miles of sewer mains (6 -, 8 -, and 10 -inch pipe) remain to be renovated. The ten -year plan targets renovating 77 miles of sewer mains, which will allow for adding line segments to the renovation program as they are identified by the ongoing TV program. (Ten -year plan: $120,120,000 estimated total project cost — includes TV programs, large- diameter pipe renovation, and cathodic protection.) TV inspection of the collection system helps to guide sewer renovation plans. Nitrification: The next ten years hold the potential for significant regulatory changes. These include potential requirements for nitrification (convert ammonia to NOA increasing pollutant removal from incinerator air emissions, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulatory trends in the Delta have focused on ammonia as a potential stressor that is contributing to the Delta's decline. For this reason, funding for nitrification has been included in the ten -year plan to represent this potential need. (Ten -year Plan: $71 Sewer Capacity Program: The Collection System Master Plan was updated in 2010 to reflect recently approved land use and new flow- monitoring data. The Capital Plan has been updated to reflect the new results. Sewer capacity projects will include trunk sewers on Pleasant Hill Road in Lafayette, Lancaster Road in Walnut Creek, Moraga Way in Orinda, and the San Ramon Schedule C Interceptor. (Ten -year plan: $34,631,000 estimated total project cost) Treatment Plant Piping Renovation and Replacement Program: The replacement value of treatment plant facilities is conservatively estimated at $600 million. Piping systems are an important and critical component of the treatment plant infrastructure. These systems will continue to be evaluated and prioritized for repair or replacement. (Ten -year Plan: $12,410,000) Potential Future Projects Not Included in 2011 Capital Plan The projects listed in this CIP are those that are reasonably certain to be undertaken. However, when evaluating project priority and cash flow impacts, consideration must be given to potential projects that are uncertain and not currently included in the plan. If some or all of these potential projects listed below are required to be undertaken, there could be a significant impact on the financial forecasts contained in the plan. POTENTIAL PROJECTS NOT IN 2011 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Description Time frame Estimated total project Estimated probability cost Treatment Plant Greenhouse Gas Reduction - Regulations are under development that will require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The appropriate reduction plan may include diversifying our energy portfolio by 2 -5 yrs $15-$30 Medium adding a renewable energy source, such as solar or wind. Alternatively, million the requirements may be satisfied by buying carbon dioxide allowances on the open market or modifying the operation of our cogeneration facility. Nutrient Removal — Construct facilities for nitrogen and phosphorus 10 -20 yrs $70 million Low removal to address more stringent receiving water standards. Recycled Water Projects Martinez Refinery Recycled Water Project - Construct new treatment and distribution facilities to supply up to 20 mgd to the Shell and Tesoro 3 -10 yrs $100 Medium refineries for cooling tower makeup and boiler feed water. Money for million planning activities only is budgeted. Concord Landscape Recycled Water Project - Construct recycled water distribution facilities to supply the Diamond Boulevard commercial 2 -5 yrs $5 million Medium area of Concord. Money for planning activities only is budgeted. Contra Costa Country Club Golf Course is the District's largest recycled water customer, using almost 100 million gallons each year for golf course irrigation. Capital Revenue /Cash Flow/ Sewer Construction Fund Balance The Capital Program is funded by a number of different fees and charges as described below. Capacity Fees: A capacity fee is paid by each new connector to the District's collection system. This fee is recalculated each year and represents the cost of buying into the existing assets of the District. The revenue from these fees is dependent on the housing market and rate of new connections. Pumped Zone Fees: For connections in an area where pumping is necessary, an additional capacity fee is charged to buy into the existing pumping station assets of the District. The revenue from the pumped zone fees is highly dependent on the housing market and the rate of new connections in the pumped zones. Property Taxes: Historically, the District has received significant revenues from property taxes. In 1978, when Proposition 13 reduced the taxation rate on property, the State Legislature urged enterprise special districts to shift to user fee financing. In FY 1992 -93, the State of California began diverting portions of the property tax revenue. The District still receives a significant amount of property taxes which are allocated entirely to debt service and the Capital Program. If those taxes were to be permanently diverted, a significant increase in other forms of revenue, particularly the Sewer Service Charge, would be necessary. Sewer Service Charges: The Sewer Service Charge is an annual charge placed on the property tax rolls which funds operation and maintenance costs as well as a portion of the Capital Program. Each year the capital revenue from all other sources is estimated, and the additional revenue needed to fund the planned expenditures, after consideration of any increase or decrease to the Sewer Construction Fund Balance, is generated by adjusting the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge. Reimbursements from Others: The District receives reimbursements from others for capital expenditures which benefit others. For example, the City of Concord is served by a contract which requires them to pay aflow- proportional share of capital projects which benefit Concord (such as projects to improve wastewater treatment facilities and large interceptors.) Also, the District has formed Assessment Districts to promote the installation of sewers in unsewered areas and loaned money from the Sewer Construction Fund for construction of the sewers. This money is then repaid with interest to the Fund. Interest: Interest is earned on the balance of the Sewer Construction Fund, the money held in reserve to fund future capital projects. The interest earned is returned to the fund. Bond Proceeds: While the District generally follows a pay -as- you -go philosophy, Sewer Service Charge rate increases can be mitigated by utilizing bond funding to spread the payments over time, particularly for large, one -time projects that will benefit future ratepayers.. The total budgeted revenue for FY2011 -12 is $22,246,000, assuming a $30 Sewer Service Charge rate increase. FY 2011 -12 Capital Budget Revenue ($000) Interest Sewer Service $265 Charge ($30 Taxe.c $6 Conc increase) $6 III Other $1 $2,549 Capacity & Pumped Zone Fees $4,934 Sewer Service Charge Increase: One of the District's goals is to maintain responsible rates while investing in the capital programs needed to protect public health and the environment, maintain existing assets, respond to regulatory and community concerns, and accommodate planned growth. The District has always prided itself on providing a high level of service at reasonable rates. When the severity of the economic downturn became apparent, the District Board of Directors, after thoughtful debate, elected not to raise rates for two years in order to provide some financial relief to customers. Staff responded to the Board's actions by implementing cost - saving measures which resulted in a savings in operating and maintenance costs of over $2 million in 2009 -10 and $2.5 million in 2010 -11. Because the economic downturn resulted in significant bid savings on capital projects, staff recommended, and the Board agreed, that the Capital Program should continue and needed projects should be built. In order to fund these projects without raising rates for two years, $30 million in bonds were sold. This increased the District's bonded indebtedness to over $50 million and the annual debt service obligation to $5.6 million. FY 2010 -11 has been challenging for the District. Increased expenditures for regulatory mandates and reduced revenues due to the economic downturn result in the need for a significant Sewer Service Charge rate increase if the District is to continue providing the same level of service and investing in infrastructure. Staff is recommending a two -year Sewer Service Charge increase of $30 per year. The following chart compares the District's rates to 26 other Bay Area sanitary agencies. If the increase is adopted, the District's rates will still be well below the mean rate for these agencies.

CCCSD receives $73 per UASH FLOW/SEWER CONSTRUCTION BALANCE As part of the Ten -Year Capital Improvement Plan, estimates of expenditures and revenues are made and a cash flow projection is developed to show the relationship of revenues to the Sewer Construction Fund (SCF) balance. Each year, the Board of Directors sets the amount of the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge as needed to fund the planned capital program. The capital component must be adequate to maintain the SCF balance needed to meet the District's cash flow needs. This balance is in the range of $30 to $35 million, depending on the timing of payments needed for District financial obligations. The balance above that needed for cash flow is available to fund current or future capital projects. For a number of years, the Capital Program has operated with a significant deficit, which was offset in FY 2009 -10 by selling $30 million in bonds. This year, staff has recommended increasing the capital component of the Sewer Service Charge to bring revenue more in line with expenses. Even with such an increase, a deficit of approximately $3.7 million is budgeted and will be drawn from the Sewer Construction Fund. Sewer Construction Fund Revenues and Expenditures A summary of projected FY 2011 -12 Capital Improvement Program revenue and expenditures is presented below: With $30 Sewer Service Revenues Charge Increase * Facilities Capacity Fees $4 Pumped Zone Fees 562 Interest 265 Property Taxes 6 Sewer Service Charges 6 Reimbursements from Others: City of Concord 2 Recycled Water Sales ** 110 Alhambra Valley 481 Developer Fees, Charges, Other 491 Total Revenues ** $22 Expenditures Treatment Plant Program $7 Collection System Program 12, 840, 000 General Improvements Program 5 Recycled Water Program 550 Total Expenditures $25 A summary of Sewer Construction Funds Available impact is presented below: Projected Expenditures Projected Revenues Draw from Funds Available • 111 -$2212461000 $316681000 More specific information regarding expenditure categories is included in the Capital Improvement Plan. * Has not been recommended by Capital Projects Committee or approved by District Board. ** Revenue is first recorded in the O &M budget until O &M costs are offset. Any additional revenue will be recorded in the Sewer Construction Fund. Historical Capital Improvement Program To place this year's proposed CIB and CIP in perspective, it is helpful to review historical expenditures and revenues. Annual capital expenditures in inflation- adjusted dollars have varied from year to year, depending on the need for large, one -time projects. On average, spending has averaged around $30 million per year. This rate of spending represents a replacement of all assets about once every hundred years, based on an estimated replacement value of approximately $3 billion for the treatment plant, collection system, and pumping station facilities. Historically, the District has attempted to keep expenditures close to revenues so as to avoid reducing the Sewer Construction Fund balance below $30 - $35 million. This allows the Fund to act as the bank to meet the District's cash flow needs between its biannual receipt of Sewer Service Charge and property tax revenue collected by Contra Costa County. Capital revenues can be highly variable. The District has two discretionary sources of capital revenue, the Sewer Service Charge capital component and bond sales. In 2009 -10, the District chose to augment the Sewer Construction Fund balance with $30 million in bond proceeds in order to ease the pressure on Sewer Service Charge rates and allow the capital program to move forward with needed projects. This decision was deemed prudent because the competitive construction bidding climate occasioned by the poor economy has resulted in construction costs being reduced by 20 -30 %, providing significant savings for the program. The District will continue to balance capital expenditures and revenues to ensure that appropriate investments are made in capital facilities while maintaining an adequate Sewer Construction Fund balance to meet cash flow needs.
