Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF $5,500 TO DEVELOP A STUDY PLAN FOR A LONG TERM LARGE SCALE TEST OF CO -COMBUSTION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE AND REFUSE DERIVED FUEL ISSUE: Approval is required to proceed with the next step in the development of a long term large scale co -combustion test as a part of the Stage 5B -II Project. BACKGROUND: A short term co -combustion test was conducted during 1976 for the purpose of demonstrating that co -combustion would work. The results of that test showed the process to be viable; however, the scope of the test was limited, the data was insufficient, and the duration was too short to judge long term effects. Staff has recommended that a long term large scale co -combustion test should be undertaken to develop detailed design information for the Stage 5B -II Project. This recommendation has been reviewed by the Wastewater Solids Study staff and the long term large scale test is recommended as one of the implementation steps for the Stage 5B -II Project. At this point, a plan of study is needed. This plan would set forth the specific objectives of the study, the means of meeting those objectives, the cost, the source of the funds, and the time schedule. Partial funding of this work has been tentatively offered by the California State Solid Waste Management Board, the United States Department of Energy and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The Test is anticipated to cost $2,500,000, of which approximately $2,000,000 will be grant funded. Work on the test will begin in January, 1980 (upon resolution of the funding) and comple- tion is planned for April, 1982. RECOMMENDATION: Approve $5,500 from the Capital Fund to develop a Study Plan for the conduct of a long term large scale co -combustion test as part of the Stage 56-I1 Project. �fr JAL: jf Respectfully submitted, John A.

Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR DSP X3170, OUTFALL REPAIR, ON AUGUST 9, 1979 ISSUE: It will be advantageous to award the contract for the outfall repair as soon as possible after bids are opened. BACKGROUND: The outfall repair project was officially advertised July 13, 1979. The bid opening has been set for August 8, 1979. The bidders will have a full three weeks to formulate their proposals. A bid opening date of August 1 was considered so that the contract award could be made by the Board on August 2. Because of the high cost of the project and the complication due to litigation, it was decided that the bid opening of August 2nd would not give the bidders sufficient time to satisfactorily prepare responsive bids. August 9, the day after the bids are opened, will be the earliest that the contract can be awarded. There is no regular Board meeting on August 9 and one item of business is not sufficient cause to convene a special meeting. Staff will review all bids and will be prepared to recommend award on August 9. RECOMMENDATIONS: Authorize the President of the Board to award and execute contract for bSP X3170, Outfall Repair, on August 9,. 1979.
