Ruth, General Manager Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance SUBJECT: Replacement of Caustic Soda Tank and Piping, Specification No. S-2007-354 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1. Authorize the General Manager to award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for Replacement of Caustic Soda Tank and Piping, Specification No. S-2007- 354, for an amount not to exceed $150,000 including tax and delivery; and, 2. Approve a 10% contingency based on final contract amount. SUMMARY The Plant No. 1 West Scrubbers treat foul air from primary sedimentation basins 1 through 31. These scrubbers are currently operated using hydrogen peroxide and caustic soda also referred to as sodium hydroxide. The tank was installed in 1986 and is beyond its expected lifespan of ten years. It has leaked on several occasions, and repairs were made. Due to the progressive deterioration of the tank and safety risks, replacement is needed. Due to the condition of the current system, the tank and piping have been taken out of service and a temporary tank is being rented to store the caustic soda for the scrubbers. This allows OCSD to continue to operate the foul air scrubbers in compliance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit conditions until the new storage tank is purchased and installed.

CMSD is among the highest inflow contributors in OCSD's service area. Due to the recorded high flow, CMSD was awarded grant funds by OCSD Board of Directors in October 2004. The project involves CCTV and manhole assessment of approximately 1,129,420 linear feet of sewer mains, to identify and prioritize corrective projects. The progress of the CCTV work has been slow due to the condition of the sewer lines. The CMSD's previous contractor conducted the cleaning work below industry standards, which now causes extensive time delay and effort to clean them ahead of televising; heavy cleaning has been slow and has stretched CMSD financial resources. OCSD's grant funds cover the televising and manhole assessment but not cleaning expenses. These cleaning expenses are preventing CMSD from doubling and tripling-up crews to complete the televising sooner than July 1, 2009. Amendment No. 2 to the Contract will provide for the additional time to complete this project and reduce 1/1 at the regional and local levels of the sewer system; approximately 55% of CMSD sewer system has been televised as of October 1, 2007. The grant funding for this Contract remains unchanged. Based on the Program, funding for CMSD will be paid in FY 09/10. Cooperative Projects Grants Program Revisions The cities and agencies have successfully conducted CCTV and/or condition assessment in their sewer systems to address areas of inflow and/or infiltration. However, cities and agencies continue to have difficulty and in some cases hardships, to administratively track and manage the pre-1960 sewer costs; the cities efforts are generally conducted in large basins with a mixture of older and newer sewers that can not be easily distinguished. OCSD staff has attempted to work closely with the cities and agencies to resolve these issues and avoid delays and/or shortages in OCSD's reimbursement of expenditures. Thus, OCSD staff is requesting approval to delete Paragraph 7F for all outstanding Cooperative Projects Grants Program Contracts for CCTV and condition assessments, as identified in Exhibit B.

The CMSD is aware that certain areas of the Sanitary District are significant sources of 1/1 and that 1/1 places a strain on the OCSD treatment plants. l'lrrl 4Ihr l h,m.r The Sanitary District is committed to identifying the sources of UI within R.n„I'll, its service area and to institute projects to decrease future 1/I. The Sanitary District began televising the sewer system in early January 2006 and has completed 55%of the sewer system as of ))••""•1). October 1, 2007. Along with televising,the CMSD is performing Ilh,,:,n,;r manhole assessment to check for infiltration through manholes walls /""""' and the likelihood of stone water entering through the holes in the manhole covers.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering Project Manager: David MacDonald SUBJECT: CENTRAL GENERATION AUTOMATION, JOB NO. J-79-1 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Reject single bid received from Morrow-Meadows Corporation for Central Generation Automation, Job No. J-79-1. SUMMARY • The purpose of this project is to replace the engine control systems and the emissions monitoring systems on the engines for the Central Generation Systems (CGS) at Plant No.1 and Plant No. 2. The control systems are no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer and the hardware components are not readily available. Parts for the existing parametric emissions monitoring system are failing and replacement parts are not available. In addition, the SCAQMD is requiring the installation of continuous emissions monitoring systems with expanded monitoring capability. • The Engineer's estimate for this project is $11,300,000. The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) advertised for bids on July 24, 2007. On October 23, 2007, the Sanitation District received a bid from the Morrow-Meadows Corporation in the amount of$14,400,000, which exceeds the Engineer's estimate by $3,100,000. • The execution of this work requires contractors who are qualified in the special areas of electrical, instrumentation, and engine programming in the power industry. The Sanitation District's Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation process typically used for CIP projects did not attract a sufficient number of contractors with these qualifications, which would result in a competitive bid environment. • Staff intends to implement the market survey to identify the following: o Potential Proposer/Bidders that meet qualifications requirements and are able and willing to submit proposals/bid. o Need for re-scoping as determined by OCSD project needs and Proposer/Bidder availability. Page 1 Book Page IS o Method of procurement that is most suitable for the scope of work intended by J-79-1. • The successful implementation of the scope of work intended by J-79-1 is fully reliant on programming technology and instrumentation integration. This type of work is typically considered professional service and therefore a qualifications-based procurement process is often used to contract for such services. This includes: (1) issuance of the solicitation document; (2) submittal of qualifications based Proposals; (3) evaluation and ranking of the proposals by a Sanitation District appointed selection committee; (4) selection of the most qualified firms; and (5) price negotiation with number one ranked Proposer. • Award will be made pursuant to the successful negotiations with number one ranked Proposer and District acceptance of the Best and Final Offer (BAFO). In the event that agreement cannot be reached on the cost proposal submitted by number one ranked Proposer, price negotiations will be conducted with the next ranked Proposer. This negotiation process can be repeated as necessary until agreement on the cost proposal is reached with one of the firms on the short list. • Time is of the essence for this Project due to failing emissions monitoring systems and a need to comply with an amended SCAOMD Rule 1110.2. PRIOR COMMITTEEIBOARD ACTIONS On February 3, 2005, the Board authorized a Professional Services Agreement with the Black & Veatch Corporation to prepare Plans and Specifications for the Central Generation Automation project. On July 18, 2007, the Board approved the Plans and Specifications and authorized staff to advertise for bids. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This recommendation complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority. This item has been budgeted. (Line item: Section 8, Page 73).

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Jim Herberg, Director of Engineering Project Manager: Matt Smith, Engineering Manager SUBJECT: OCB REPROGRAPHICS GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION 1) Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Sole Source Services Agreement with OCB Reprographics, Inc., for Reproduction of Plans, Photocopying and Related Services, extending the contract from January 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008, for an additional amount of$100,000, increasing the total contract amount for the period February 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, not to exceed $325,000; and, 2) Approve a 20% contingency ($65,000). SUMMARY • Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) uses a reprographics firm for the reproduction of plans, scanning and indexing documents to be loaded into the Electronic Document Management System and a filing and distribution system for the ordering and tracking of plans and specifications for bidding of projects. • The services provide for a high volume of reproduction of engineering construction project plans for bidding, and various reports and binding services required during the year that cannot be performed as economically with the Sanitation District's copying equipment. • OCB Reprographics, Inc. (OCB) has maintained this service contract for the last eight years and has introduced two new software tools, Planwell and Bidcaster, to assist in the Sanitation District's bid process. While these tools have enabled the Sanitation District to maintain an optimal bid process, a significant amount of training was required prior to and during their use to streamline the bid process for both OCB and Sanitation District staff. Over the training period and the succeeding contract years, OCB and the Sanitation District have developed a set of agreed upon procedures and minimum requirements to ensure a smooth bid process. Page 1 Book Page 20 • Within the last three years, approximately 53 Sanitation District engineering projects have been bid for construction. Several of the largest of these 53 projects were bid within the last year, diminishing the remaining funds available for reproduction of upcoming projects as well as the needs of other divisions. • Additionally, the 3-year, 1-year renewable contract with OCB is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2008. • To effectively maintain a smooth bid process for upcoming projects, as well as maintaining reprographic services for documentation of construction phase records, staff recommends the following: (1) An amendment in the amount of$100,000; (2) An extension of the contract to June 30, 2008 to ensure future estimation of reprographic needs is aligned with the capital projects and that an ample amount of time is allowed to send out Requests for Proposals for a new Reprographics contract; and (3) A request for a 20% contingency for potential amendments. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS • A 4-year, 1-year renewable competitively bid blanket purchase order agreement was awarded on January 18, 2000. • A sole source 3-year, 1-year renewable blanket purchase order agreement was awarded on December 15, 2004. • The 3, 1-year periods with original specified contract amounts were as follows: Year 1 is February 1, 2005 through January 31, 2006 for$225,000 Year 2 is February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007 for $225,000 Year 3 is February 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008 for $225,000 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This Amendment No. 1 complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of Authority.

Ruth, General Manager Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance Project Manager: William Cassidy SUBJECT: North County Collections Yard, Project No. 15-04 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Authorize staff to enter into negotiations with MVA Architects, Inc. for architectural and engineering design services including construction, commissioning and closeout support for the North County Collections Yard, Project No. 15-04. SUMMARY • In March 2007, the General Manager issued a Professional Design Service Agreement (PDSA) to MVA Architects, Inc. to provide architectural and engineering services for the preparation of an architectural space program report (preliminary design) for tenant improvements for Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD's) North County Collections Yard, Contract 15-04. • The preliminary design report was completed in November 2007. The reports consists of a seismic risk assessment, summary of key staff interviews, cost benefit analysis for relocation of non-collections division staff, nine conceptual layouts plus descriptive summaries and budget estimates for each, and three conceptual exterior elevation possibilities. The layouts range from maintaining the existing building fully intact to partial demolition to full demolition replacing the existing building with a new structure. The layouts also take into consideration removal of Union Pacific's railroad tracks along the east property line to maximize land use. • Staff has completed their review of the report. Staff recommends conceptual layout nine. Conceptual layout nine would demolish approximately half of the existing building and remove tracks outside Union Pacific's easement. The remaining half of the building and enlarged open area (parking lot) would be refurbished. The building would provide office space for up to 54 employees, locker/restroom, shop and warehouse areas, and training/meeting room. The parking area would provide for 108 stalls (74 for staff and visitors, 28 for site assigned OCSD vehicles and mobile equipment, and 6 for miscellaneous use. The parking area would also provide space for outside storage and a truck wash down pad. Parking and traffic flow will be improved as part of efforts with Union Pacific. •wi..a oe.,wr�.e,� Page 1 Book Page 22 • A brief presentation will be made at the Operations Committee meeting on the selected space plan prior to moving the project to Engineering Department's the Project Management Office for final design and construction. At this time a move in date is estimated for spring 2009. • MVA Architects, Inc. performed excellent work assisting the O&M Department in preparing the preliminary design report and possesses an in-depth and unique knowledge of all the intricacies of the preferred approach, existing site conditions, and restrictions. Therefore, MVA is in an excellent position to provide detailed architectural and engineering design services including construction, commissioning and closeout support for this project. Staff is requesting permission to negotiate with MVA Architects for detailed design and construction support services. • The project does not qualify for a design-build approach and will follow traditional public works construction requirements. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS • September 2006—The Board approved the purchase for$6,200,000 of real property located 7311 Doig Drive in Garden Grove for use as the North County Collections Yard. • March 2006 —The Board authorized the Interim General Manager and Board Chair to select and purchase real property for use as the North County Collections Yard. • September 2005 —The Board approved the purchase of real property located at 7465 Lampson Avenue in Garden Grove for use as the North County Collections Yard. However, OCSD was unsuccessful in the acquisition, competing with a development firm. • June 2005 - Board approved the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2005/06 establishing funds ($10,500,000) for the North County Collections Yard, Project No. 15-04. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Background Sewer maintenance staff and equipment were originally based at Plant No. 1 in Fountain Valley, but due to space limitations, they were moved to a warehouse structure at Plant No. 2 in Huntington Beach in the late 1980's. Space needs at Plant 2 for facilities growth and support staff now dictate another site be found. The proposed site would provide a more centralized location to conduct business. nn.eoaiso,�.n� Page 2 Book Page 23 In November 2004, staff provided an initial information item regarding the need for a north county yard facility that included a site selection process for a possible acquisition. The facility would serve as a base for approximately 50 staff, their personal vehicles, OCSD's vehicles, service trucks, parts, supplies, tools and equipment. Space would also be available for some Engineering and Source Control staff should their business needs be better met by moving to a more central location. Staff would continue to use the commercial card lock type fueling facilities countywide and not be constructing any on site fueling facilities for OCSD vehicles. Space would also be available to host training events and regional meetings for joint city and sewering agency activities, and for shop and storage space. The facility will also be available for Board use as desired. Staring in July, 2005, staff worked with a commercial real estate brokerage firm to refine a list of likely sites for a north county facility for collections staff. Staff supplemented the broker with the services of an architectural firm to help evaluate and rank possible sites. The ranking included a series of criteria; proximity to the center of the service area, site area, and building size. Other site factors included egress, ease of development, truck route suitability, the tenant improvement costs that were likely to be needed, and other physical issues such as building dock height. The initial search centered in the "Orange Crush" 57/22/5 Freeway area to put staff closest to their work on the small, medium and large pipe cleaning and inspection programs. However, lack of availability and increasing industrial land prices moved the search west Attachments Desired alternative drawing SP9 dated 10/25/07 by MVA Architects.
