4. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Review draft Position Paper to consider adopting (1) Resolution of
Intention No. 2022- to initiate the formation of the Willow Drive
Contractual Assessment District (CAD) No. 2022-2 for the purpose of
installing sewer improvements on Willow Drive in Danville, and
(2) Resolution No. 2022- approving the boundary for the proposed CAD;
find the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
Mr. Leavitt provided an overview of a second CAD formation for 2022, this
instance for an area on the eastside of downtown Danville. This
neighborhood has had a progression of sewer projects and the Willow
Drive CAD would add a potential of seven new connections. Thus far, five
of the seven properties have expressed an interest. As depicted on the
location map (Attachment 1 in the agenda materials), Mr. Leavitt advised
this project would not run to the end of Willow Drive as the last four lots
have an inverse grade that would require individual residential pumps.
In response to questions posed by the Committee of applicable and future
participants, staff explained that should the other two participants decide
to join this CAD later, the five that participated would receive a
reimbursement of the shared cost. Lastly, should the four remaining
parcels outside the boundary line on Willow Drive decide to connect, a
new main extension project would be created.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval.
b. Review draft Position Paper to authorize the General Manager to amend
an existing professional engineering services agreement in an amount not
to exceed $284,000 with Degenkolb Engineers, Inc., increasing the
agreement cost ceiling from $50,000 to $334,000 to provide seismic
design services for the Solids Handling Facility Improvements, Phase 1A,
District Project 7348
Mr. Lopez provided a thorough background of the Project components and
the details provided in the draft Position Paper. Overall, staff and
Degenkolb took a step back from the preliminary designs to evaluate the
seismic needs of the Solids Conditioning Building (SCB).
Since then, he reported Degenkolb and staff have decided to pursue an
excellent and practicable solution to upgrade the SCB which has thus far
estimated a significant cost savings at one-third the original cost. The
approach would use a tried method of installing exterior concrete buttress
supports with interior steel member supports.

Mr. Lopez added the SCB is an important building that houses critical
equipment elements that will remain in place for many years. Staff is
evaluating the best course for the bid work, whether to combine with the
Phase 1A project and the State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan, or bid
separately. He also explained staff plans to bring forth a future agenda
item for bid services and design budget for other project consultants,
including an overall status report of the Phase 1A project.
Member Hockett complimented staff for looking at alternatives and finding
different solutions for the critical work.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval.
