ISSUE
Section 9.08.010 of the District Code requires that the Board of Directors adopt an uncodified Ordinance
to establish or amend Central San's standard specifications.
BACKGROUND
Central San's Standard Specifications for Design and Construction was last updated in 2020. Since that
document was published, staff has continued to solicit comments from internal and external customers,

Page 2 of 2
and has revised the document to clarify requirements and align with industry practices. The updated
document is now ready for publication. Section 9.08.010 of the District Code requires that the Board of
Directors establish the standard specifications by an uncodified Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board could decline to set a public hearing, which would result in the 2020 edition continuing to be
enforced. However, this is not recommended since it is important that the most current practices be
covered by a Board-established specifications document.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
None by this action. Design and construction of new facilities in accordance with the proposed
specifications will minimize future maintenance costs and ensure that the facilities have an acceptably long
service life.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Setting of a public hearing on this matter is required by the District Code; therefore, it was not discussed
with a Board Committee.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Set June 16, 2022, at 2:30 p.m. as the date and time to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting an
uncodified Ordinance to establish the "CCCSD Standard Specifications for Design and Construction,
2022 Edition" as Central San's standard specifications, in accordance with District Code Section
9.08.010.
