PROJECT UPDATE
1) Public Bidding for Solids Conditioning Building Chiller Replacement, District
Project 7326-A
The Solids Conditioning Building (SCB) is air conditioned by a 50-ton chiller which
requires immediate replacement. The existing chiller cannot be repaired and a rental
chiller has been temporarily installed to keep the building electrical and control equipment
from overheating. Construction activities will include piping and electrical work to install
the new chiller.
This project will be advertised on July 10 and 16, 2018. Bids will be opened on July 24
2018. The Engineer's estimate is $250,000. More information will be presented when the
Board is asked to award the construction contract on August 2, 2018.

CO CO SAN SUSTAINABLE FARM
3) Staff Time Charged to CoCo San Sustainable Farm/AgLantis Project
The Board has directed staff to track its time related to the CoCo San Sustainable Farm
Project and to generally refrain from incurring further costs on the Project. The May 2018
Financial Statements (included as Item 3 of this agenda packet) include an amount of
$9,133 for staff time in May attributable to the Project. A portion of this staff time related
to the preparation of a site-specific Title 22 Engineering Report to be submitted to the
Division of Drinking Water for the proposed Farm Project. In accordance with 22 CCR
§60304, the use of disinfected tertiary recycled water for the surface irrigation of food
crops, including all edible root crops, where the recycled water comes into contact with

the edible portion of the crop, is required to have a report prepared and
submitted. Central San prepares such a report for all the Zone 1 and recycled water
customers.
Additionally, at the Board's direction, staff prepared a comprehensive memorandum for
discussion at the May 17, 2018 Board meeting to accompany the AgLantis 2017 Annual
Report and 2018 Business and Strategic Plan. The memorandum was prepared to
facilitate a discussion related to the performance of the Farm relative to the Lease terms.
The staff time to prepare for that discussion comprised the majority of the May charges.
At the Board's direction, staff has devoted time to preparing comparison tables related to
the Farm Project for discussion at this meeting (see Item 11) to assist the Board in
providing direction to staff to determine if the work completed by AgLantis is acceptable
and meets the intent of the performance goals described in the Lease. For this reason,
the monthly financial statements for June will also include charges for staff time
attributable to the Farm Project.
