Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: PLANT 1 HEADWORKS SPUTTER BOX NUMBER 3 CHANNEL REPAIR
SERVICES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1) Approve a sole source purchase order contract with Jamison Engineering for Plant 1
Headworks Splitter Box No. 3 Channel Repair Services, for an amount not to exceed
$93,800: and,
2) Approve a contingency of$9,380 (10%).
SUMMARY
• The purpose of this work is to repair leaking joints on the #3 channel in the Plant 1
headworks splitter box which has been in service 1989.
• Although this repair is not considered an emergency it is urgent as the leak is getting
worse and it may start to cause undermining around the structure.
• In addition to the structural concerns the work needs to be completed before the
Steve Anderson Lift Station is in full operation as Plant 1 will be required to process
more sewage while the P2-66 project (New Headworks Facility) is tied into the rest
of the plant 2 process areas. The additional flow will also restrict Plant 1's ability to
provide long term shutdowns for the next 2 years.
• This project is further complicated by the need to dewater the channel and remove
15 to 20 yards of grit in order to access the repair area.
• A protective coating will also be applied to the uncoated concrete roof of the channel
to stabilize the corroded concrete and extend the useful life of the facility.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Jamison Engineering is uniquely qualified as they recently completed a similar type of
repair on channel #1 in order to complete an emergency repair on the two Plant 1 90"

primary clarifier feed lines that were leaking. Subsequently they also completed the
repairs on channel #2. Jamison Engineering worked with the District's Engineers to
develop this long-term repair solution that has been applied to two of the three channel
joints.
This authorization complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of
Authority. This item was not budgeted but funds are currently available in the overall
joint operating budget as other planned maintenance projects have not yet been
completed and lower risk may be deferred to FY 2009/10.

FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: James D. Herberg, Director of Engineering
Project Manager: Christopher MacLeod
SUBJECT: LABORATORY REFURBISHMENT AT PLANT NO. 1, JOB NO. J-97
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve a contingency increase of$70,000 (45%)to the Professional Design
Services Agreement with The Austin Company for Laboratory Refurbishment at
Plant No. 1, Job No. J-97, for a total contingency of$77,650 (50%); and,
2. Approve a budget increase of$70,000 for Laboratory Refurbishments at Plant No. 1,
Job No. J-97, for a total budget amount of$487,000.
SUMMARY
• The purpose of this project is to assess the future needs of the Laboratory along with
the cost and effort that will be required to bring it into compliance with building
codes. The Laboratory and subsequent modifications were built without a building
permit from the City of Fountain Valley.
• The City of Fountain Valley Building Department (City) requires the Orange County
Sanitation District (Sanitation District) to make modifications to the Lab to correct
deficiencies associated with a variety of improvements constructed under Laboratory
Rehabilitations at Plant No. 1, Job No. J-88, in 2005.
• These deficiencies need to be corrected before the City will allow the Sanitation
District to submit projects for a building permit subsequent to Job No. J-88, including
Job No. J-97.
• Staff recommends this work be added to The Austin Company's (Austin) current
Professional Design Services Agreement (PDSA) for Laboratory Refurbishment at
Plant No. 1, Job No. J-97, because of Austin's familiarity with the laboratory and
future improvements, their local relationship with the City, and their understanding of
this particular set of deficiencies.
• The contingency increase is needed for the amendment to prepare the plans to
correct existing deficiencies mentioned above, and to complete the permit process.

SUBJECT: OUTFALL REPAIR SERVICES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ratify Change Order No. 1 to Purchase Order No. 64182-OS issued to Jamison
Engineering for additional repair work to the Outfail Line for an additional $60,000,
increasing the total amount not to exceed from $138,000 to $198,000.
SUMMARY
• The purpose of this urgent repair work is to sandblast, repair and apply a protective
coating on the steel access covers located inside the concrete junction box structure
that connects the one and five mile-long outfall lines. The structure is located on the
beach between the Santa Ana River and the Least Tern Sanctuary. This junction
box has been in service since 1966, and the steel access covers have not been
recoated.
• For the past four months, extensive condition assessments and some minor
temporary repairs have been conducted on both the external parts of the one and 5
mile-long sections of the junction box and the internal section of the one mile line.
This work included the bulkhead that separates the one and five mile sections of the
junction box.
• It has been determined that additional work is needed to make longer term repairs to
ensure the one mile section of the junction box stays water tight and is fully
operational. This also includes the unplanned repair of two pressure man ways
upstream of the junction box on the one mile line.
• The mating season for the Least Tern starts in the first part of April and therefore this
work must be completed prior to this date.
PRIOR COMMITTEEIBOARD ACTIONS
February 2009: Operations Committee was verbally notified of the urgent need for the
change order.
February 2008: Operations Committee approved issuing a service agreement to
Jamison Engineering.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Engineering Department has developed a Capital Improvement Project to complete
more extensive and complicated repairs to the Junction Box and other portions of the
one and five mile Ocean Outfall system. The repairs that are being completed during
this project will ensure the structure stays in operational condition until the Capital
Maintenance Project addresses the long-term repairs.

SUBJECT: ELECTRICAL ACCEPTANCE TESTING SERVICES FOR COLLECTION
SYSTEM AND TREATMENT PLANT PROJECTS, SPECIFICATION
NO. PSA-2007-003
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION

Tedder Technical Services providing Electrical Acceptance Testing Services for
Collection System and Treatment Plant Projects, Specification No. PSA-2007-003,
for an additional amount of$150,000; and,
2. Approve Amendment No. 2 to Purchase Order No. 102907-OB issued to Hampton-
Tedder Technical Services providing for Electrical Acceptance Testing Services for
Collection System and Treatment Plant Projects, Specification No. PSA-2007-003,
for an additional amount of$250,000; and,
3. Approve a contingency of$24,000 (3%).
SUMMARY
• The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes outside firms for
electrical system testing services in support of capital improvement projects during
the construction of facilities both inside the plants and for pump stations.
• In May 2007, the Board approved Professional Services Agreements with
Hampton-Tedder Technical Services (HTTS) and Electrical Reliability Services
(ERS) for an amount not to exceed $400,000 for each company, for a total amount
Of$800,000.
• Subsequent to the Board approval, ERS made a corporate decision to not sign the
contract as approved by the General Counsel due to the insurance and indemnity
required by the Sanitation District for a Professional Services Agreement. The
approved agreement was not executed.
• As of February 23, 2009, the authorized amount of$400,000 to HTTS had been
committed and additional authorization is requested.
Book Pace 16
Funding for these testing services are included in the individual CIP project
budgets. Sufficient budget for this additional work is contained in this existing CIP
budget.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
May 23, 2007 - Approved Professional Services Agreements with Electrical Reliability
Services and Hampton-Tedder Technical Services providing for on-call electrical system
testing services supporting capital improvement projects, Specification No. PSA-2007-
003, for a three-year period for an amount not to exceed $400,000 for each agreement
($800,000 total).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
An error was made in developing the original contract documents with Hampton-Tedder
stating that the amount of the contract was $800,000, not the $400,000 as approved.
The error was found during routine review of documents and an amendment will correct
this error.
The current authorized amount of$400,000 was expended in February 2009 because
staff did not anticipate the pace of electrical testing on two large projects, Job
Nos. P2-66 and P2-80.
Amendment No. 1 is to ratify testing in February and March required to prevent
unnecessary delays to projects.
Amendment No. 2 is to approve electrical testing needed from March 2009 through the
end of the agreement term on June 30, 2010.
This item has been budgeted through each individual CIP project that uses these
services. They are expensed as the services are used.
