3. Items for Committee Recommendation to Board
a. Review draft Position Paper to approve a contingency project in the
amount of $450,000 for the Treatment Plant Odor Control Facilities
Improvements; and authorize the General Manager to execute a
professional engineering services agreement with Jacobs Solutions, Inc.
in the amount of $350,000 for planning and pre -design services
Mr. Goel provided an overview of the presentation provided in the agenda
materials.
In response to Chair Pilecki's question regarding having perimeter fence
misters, Mr. Goel said the misters are still in place along the perimeter of
the fence.
Mr. Goel stated Central San's odor control facilities have been in service
for over twenty-five years and are showing signs of deterioration. Staff is
proposing to start a detailed condition assessment and comprehensive
asset evaluation of the existing equipment and develop a new Odor
Control Facilities Plan this Fiscal Year (FY). The new plan will include
business case evaluations of rehabilitation and replacement of existing
facilities compared to constructing new facilities. He also stated that
Central San issued a request for proposal and completed interviews prior
to selecting Jacobs Solutions, Inc for planning and pre -design services for
this project. Further discussion ensued.
Member McGill asked if staff will be providing an interim report to the
Committee. Mr. Goel confirmed an interim report will be provided. Chair
Pilecki expressed concern and recommended not using the 2006 Odor
Control Facilities Plan and requested that staff reevaluate this approach
and consider how the chemical composition is changing in the treatment
plant (plant) and to reexamine the source of the odors that are coming
from different areas. He also requested that staff consider the impact that
the upcoming State Highway 4 and Interstate 680 interchange
improvements project will have on traffic proximity to plant odors.
In response to Member McGill's question regarding if the contingency was
already included in the fee, Mr. Goel confirmed the contingency was
included.
Mr. Norby asked if staff had an idea of what the energy usage was in the
odor control facilities. Mr. Goel responded that the energy usage will be
quantified in the assessment.
The Committee had no further questions and recommended Board
approval with the suggested changes discussed above.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Recommended Board approval.
