3. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
Item 3.a. was heard out of order after Item 4.a.
a. Review draft Position Paper to award a construction contract in the
amount of$543,900 to Pacific & Power Systems, Inc., the lowest
responsive bidder for the Plant Control System Network Upgrades, District
Project 7317A; consider exemption from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA); and authorize up to a 15-percent contingency
Mr. Lopez began with a review of the rebid of work scope for this project
and that a better price was received overall for this effort. The total project
cost, which is less than the prior low bid, includes the contract, 15%
contingency, and construction management cost.
Mr. Petit and Mr. Lopez answered a few questions from the Committee.
Mr. Lopez stated that a project location map is usually included; however,
as a security precaution, a location map was deemed inadvisable for this
project.
Member Pilecki stated that although the alternatives described in the draft
Position Paper are detailed and justified, he indicated that it was too much
information and was not needed. Mr. Petit replied that staff included this
detail at the prior Committee's request for additional alternatives; however,
staff will adjust the alternatives statement in the future.
Member Pilecki thanked staff for including the financial table, finding it was
a helpful tool for deciphering the various Capital Improvement Budget
(CIB) sources.
Chair Nejedly stated he had no concerns, Member Pilecki concurred.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and recommended Board approval.
4. Other Items
Item 4.a. was reviewed immediately following Item 2.
a. Receive update on structure adjustments, including manholes, associated
with Collection System Operations and Capital Improvement Projects
Mr. Lopez and Mr. Seitz answered questions from the Committee
pertaining to the presentation included with the agenda materials.

Member Pilecki inquired whether a means of reporting manhole/structure
defects has been considered for inclusion in Central San's Pipeline
publication, as it would be an opportunity for many "inspectors"and could
be perceived as a positive direction from Central San. Additionally, he
advised that staff may want to research having a hotline, similar to the City
of Concord. Mr. Lopez stated that he has had discussions with
Communications and Intergovernmental Relations Manager Emily Barnett
about adding an article to the Pipeline and/or improving Central San's
website to report such matters.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
b. Receive list of future agenda items
The Committee requested that the Pleasant Hill Library update be
removed from the future agenda items list. If warranted, staff will revisit
should the project move forward.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the list and provided input to staff.
