a) Announcement for Public Bidding of Treatment Plant
Piping Renovations (Phase 5), District Proiect 7276
Many of the treatment plant piping systems have been in place for over 30
years and are being replaced as part of the ongoing Treatment Plant
Piping Renovations Project.
The Phase 5 Piping Renovation Project will provide necessary
improvements to the aeration air system by replacing the 24-inch air
supply headers and downcomers on the aeration tanks. In addition, this
project includes replacement of some badly corroded and leaking piping
systems. Sluice gates and valves that are leaking or have become
inoperable are also being replaced in this project.
This project will be advertised on March 19 and 24, 2010. The bids will be
opened on April 14, 2010. The construction cost is currently estimated at
$1,900,000. The Board will be asked to approve the construction contract
at the May 6, 2010 regularly scheduled Board Meeting.

of March 15, 2010, after 23 years of service.
c) Hiring of Retired Employee Temporarily
Administrative Services Supervisor Angela Taliani will transfer to the Plant
Operations Department (POD) on March 18, 2010. Administrative
Services Supervisor Pat Kast will have retired as of this date but due to
the limited time available for the transition, staff would like to retain Ms.
Kast on an interim, intermittent basis to ensure a smooth transition. This
limited effort will primarily be focused on POD time card processing and
departmental/regulatory procedures. The assignment is expected to last
until approximately July 2010, on an intermittent basis.
d) Staff Appointment to Public Management Association

Directors of the International Public Management Association -Human
Resources, Northern California Chapter (NCCIPMA-HR) on Thursday,
March 4, 2010. He will serve atwo-year term effective July 1, 2010. This
will allow Mr. Ko to associate with Human Resource colleagues that know
the District well and have some of the same challenges as the District,
such as, representatives from West County Wastewater District, Vallejo
Sanitation, DSRSD, Delta Diablo, and Oro Loma District. This will be a
valuable resource for him as he is learning more about his new position.
