4. Agenda Items
a. Review proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Budget (CIB)
and Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Mr. Lopez provided an overview of the presentation included with the
agenda materials and responded to various Committee questions.
Chair Lauritzen inquired about the total estimate for the Recycled Water
(ReW) Program budget in comparison to the ten-year plan. Mr. Lopez
advised that the current projects reflect budget-to-date numbers and the
two major projects, Phases 1A and 1 B, are already in progress and will
carry spent money in the budget. There will continue to be projects in the
ten-year plan but at this time they are not estimated to be significant. The
largest future project is based on the Concord Community Reuse project
and is not budgeted in the Capital Program as it is expected to be
negotiated or cost neutral.
It was noted that historically the Re Program had a significantly lower
budget but, with the Master Plan and end of life infrastructure, there has
been a refocus to make recycled water reliable and more available to
customers.
In response to a question posed by Member Hockett regarding the issues
in the clarifiers, Mr. Lopez advised that most of the project focus will be
with the mechanical drives or coating protection issues and with rehab of
the seismic baffles and supports.
Chair Lauritzen asked for further clarification on the timing of the coating
on the clarifiers. Mr. Lopez stated that maintenance staff performs an
annual inspection and documents the condition of the coatings for Capital
Projects to review and based on inspection, engineering recommends to
the work and coatings needed. He provided kudos to the Maintenance
staff for their efforts to make the coating last and keeping the cathodic
protection system in great shape for as long as they have as the last time
this work was performed was roughly 20 years ago.
Mr. Lopez provided more detail on the major focus projects for FY 2022-23
in the Collection System, Treatment Plant, General Improvement, and Re
Programs.
Member Hockett inquired about incorporating Net Zero and climate
change in the future with electric vehicles. Mr. Lopez advised that
charging stations are one of the items to be included as a change to the
proposed budget and provided further detail. Staff will create a plan and

phase-in vehicle purchase approach to prepare and comply with the
proposed regulations for fleet vehicles, excluding specialty vehicles like
hydro-vac and others.
Mr. Lopez reviewed slide 14 which included changes proposed to the draft
budget the Board had received on May 5. Those changes include:
• Danville Sewer Renovation, Phase 4 total estimated budget revised
to $5,202,000 (page 216 of draft budget);
• San Ramon Electrical Upgrades total estimated budget revised to
$1,913,000 (page 220 of draft budget); and
• Plant Operation Building (POB) Electric Vehicles Charging Station
total estimated budget revised to $1,290,000 (page 270 of draft
budget). The scope has increased to include the Collection System
Operations (CSO) and pool vehicles at the Martinez Campus. It
was noted that the schedule will match the State order and
proposed California Air Regulatory Board regulations for fleets
starting 2024.
Mr. Lopez advised that the program budgets shall be revised based on the
projects and funding will come from the contingency budget; therefore,
there is no overall change to the total Capital Improvement Budget/Capital
Improvement Plan (CIB/CIP).
Member Hockett suggested staff provide an ample amount of charging
stations for flexibility purposes with staff and crew needs.
Chair Lauritzen stated that she was happy to hear about the safety
program which will improve the working environment, the coordination
efforts with the cities and the execution with electrical projects. Lastly,
Chair Lauritzen expressed her appreciation to staff for including slide 12
with all of the changes proposed since the initial draft budget was released
to the Board. She thought the information made it transparent and more
understandable to the public.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and provided input to staff.
