emergency bypass vault and pump connections were installed at the Martinez Pumping
Station. A replacement bar screen was installed at Orinda Crossroads, and new valve
vault covers were placed at Maltby Pumping Station.
On June 4, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a contract for the
