3. Future Scheduled Meetings
a. Confirm remaining 2018 Engineering & Operations Committee meeting
dates
COMMITTEE ACTION: Confirmed meeting dates.
4. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Review draft Position Paper authorizing the General Manager to execute
professional engineering services agreements with TJC and Associates,
Inc. and Complete Project Solutions, Inc., in the amount of$150,000 each,
to provide as-needed structural engineering services for capital
improvement projects
Mr. Lopez explained that the amount is higher than previous years due to
more projects, and the decision to work with two firms was for improved
availability.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval.
5. Other Items
a. Receive Capital Projects Division Quarterly Report (October to December
2017) on Capital Projects, Active Consultant Contracts, Change Order
Log, and Schedule of Bids and Awards
Mr. Lopez explained that the report gives an update on the status of
contracts. He stated that going forward, the project management
information system (PMIS) will eventually replace the current reports.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the report.
b.* Receive an update on the Filter Plant and Clearwell Projects
This item was taken out of order, following Item 2.
Mr. Petit stated that this was an informational item, and no action was
needed at this time.
Mr. Lopez provided a presentation to review the current condition of the
Clearwell cover, which has deteriorated due to heavy rains and drain
failure (attached).
Chair Causey asked what staff may do differently to avoid this happening
again. Mr. Petit stated that staff is conducting further investigation for that
very reason. He explained that the Clearwell is a key part of the

infrastructure, and the repair is necessary. Mr. Lopez added that a
temporary fix will be necessary before a permanent solution is found. Mr.
Lopez explained that staff has already raised the cover, and patches will
not work on the tears. Chair Causey asked about the integrity of the liner.
Mr. Little stated that it will need to be checked, but it should be able to
withstand the temporary cover, and will most likely need to be replaced
when the cover is replaced.
Chair Causey asked if the east and west cells float together. Mr. Little
clarified that the two cells are separate from one another. Occasionally,
water has been pumped from the east cell to the west, but otherwise the
unused cell is filled with rain water.
Mr. Petit explained that the next immediate steps are to issue several
requests for proposals (RFPs): 1) for consultant selection to design the
filter and Clearwell rehabilitation project, 2) to procure a temporary cover
for the west cell, and 3) for west Clearwell draining and cleaning. He
asked if the Committee Members would allow staff to bring a Position
Paper directly to the Board without Committee recommendation if the
quotes are ready before the next Committee meeting. Chair Causey was
agreeable to that as long as the finances are clearly explained.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
C.* Receive an update on the emergency sewer repair at The Willows
Shopping Center in Concord
Mr. Lopez reviewed a presentation regarding the January 8, 2018 sewer
failure due to a corroded pipe (attached). Mr. Petit noted that it took staff
one week from time of notification to complete the replacement as Central
San was in control of the repair as compared to emergency sewer repair
projects last year associated with storm drain failure where other agencies
were leading the effort.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
d. Receive list of Scheduled/Parking Lot items
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the information.
6. Announcements
a.* Mr. Petit presented a slide showing the upcoming projects to be discussed
at future Committee meetings (attached). He stated that a pump station
tour will be arranged as well.

a. Ms. Barnett announced that she attended the Orinda City Council meeting
the night before, and there was a discussion on lane closures in major
roadways, which was prompted from a large project that East Bay
Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) oversaw. Initially, the Council was to
review a proposal to move work to nights and weekends, but instead a
discussion was had on policy. The decision was to handle each project on
a case-by-case basis. Central San was complimented on its
communication with customers.
7. Suggestions for future agenda items
Chair Causey requested an update on the recycled water refinery project.
8. Adjournment— at 10:36 a.m.
