REALIGNMENT PROGRAM, PROJECT NO. P1-128
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
BACKGROUND
Many of the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) non-process buildings
and structures located at its Reclamation Plant No. 1 (Plant No. 1) in the City of Fountain
Valley (City) were built without building permits. In 1992, the Sanitation District and the
City entered into an agreement which required the Sanitation District to be subject to the
City's planning and building laws and to obtain building permits. In 1993, the Sanitation
District approved the Fountain Valley Specific Plan establishing these requirements,
which was then subsequently approved and adopted by the City in 1994.
In 2008, the Sanitation District entered into another agreement with the City, which
provided for the issuance of building permits for the existing Control Center Building,
Laboratory Building, and Maintenance Buildings 5 and 6 that the Sanitation District
constructed without building permits. To satisfy the building permit requirement, the
Sanitation District paid the City $356,835 in lieu of a 3% impact fee normally charged by
the City associated with the issuance of a building permit.
In 2010 and amended in 2011, the Sanitation District entered into an agreement with the
City regarding compliance with the City's Construction Code and Americans with
Disabilities Act requirements for improvements to buildings and grounds that fall within
the guidelines of the Specific Plan.
In July 2011, the Board of Directors awarded a Professional Design Services Agreement
to The Austin Company for the rehabilitation of Maintenance Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
and 8, Shop A, Shop B, Fleet Services, Warehouse, Administration Building, Purchasing
Building, Laboratory, and several trailer complexes.The October2012 preliminary design
report documented the required upgrades to comply with the City agreement and
rehabilitation requirements.
In 2013, the Sanitation District entered into another agreement with the City for the
issuance of permits for the remaining buildings at Plant No. 1 which were constructed
without building permits.These are the Maintenance Buildings 1,2, 3,4, 7, and 8, Shop A,
Page 1 of 6
Shop B, Fleet Services, Warehouse, Administration Building, Purchasing Building, and
Laboratory.
Accessibility, Code, and rehabilitation projects have been completed for the Control
Center, Maintenance Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, Shop A, Shop B, Warehouse, and
Purchasing Conference Room. The Sanitation District completed the design and is
currently obtaining building permits for the Fleet Services Building and Building 8.
The Administration Building, Human Resources Building, Purchasing Building,
Laboratory Building, and several temporary trailer complexes have significant code
compliance and deferred maintenance issues. Due to the expense involved with
retrofitting these buildings, the Sanitation District decided to investigate refurbishment
versus replacement for these facilities under an Administrative Facilities Master Plan.
The Administrative Facilities Master Plan studied several project implementation
strategies including maintaining the existing buildings, repurposing and refurbishing
buildings, and complete replacement. The replacement option has advantages over
refurbishment because it represents the lowest lifecycle cost, least construction risk, least
operational disruption, best energy efficiency, improved public access and security, and
improves the work environment and efficiency by co-locating staff into one area. Based
on these advantages, the study concluded that replacement of non-compliant
administrative buildings and offices is the best long-term business decision. These results
from the Administrative Facilities Master Plan were presented to the Board of Directors in
November 2013. Consensus was obtained that the Sanitation District proceed with the
results of this Administrative Facilities Master Plan and create an effective replacement
plan to build a new Headquarters Complex.
In June 2014, the Board of Director's authorized an Administrative Facilities
Implementation Plan to be developed by HDR Architecture, Inc. (HDR)that would develop
a more detailed plan and cost estimate for replacement of the Administration Building,
Human Resources Building, Laboratory, Purchasing Building, Fleet Services Buildings,
and multiple office trailers at Plant No. 1.
In June, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the Headquarters Complex, Site and
Security, and Entrance Realignment Program, Project No. P1-128. At the time, the
project was to consider two alternative locations for the new Administration and
Laboratory Building, one where the existing Administration Building is located, the other
in the southwest corner of Plant No. 1 next to the Engineering Trailers. The southwest
corner was selected as the preferred alternative in October 2015. The project took into
consideration the impacts of the I-405 widening project and the relocation of the Plant
No. 1 main entry.
Since then, the Sanitation District's master planning efforts have identified a long-term
need for more process and construction lay down area. The OCTA/CalTrans I-405
widening project is negatively impacting parking and usable space in the northern part of
the plant and the City has put forward its Fountain Valley Crossings specific plan that
suggests that the Sanitation District consider locating the building instead in the area
Page 2 of 6
between Ellis Avenue and the 1-405 Freeway between the Euclid Avenue off-ramp and
Ward Street. Locating the new building in this area would save space on the plant site
needed for process facilities in the future. Approximately five acres of land would be
needed for the Administration and Laboratory Building and a parking structure.
In the second half of 2016, staff worked at the Board of Directors' direction to acquire
property across Ellis Avenue. As a result, the Sanitation District has reached an
agreement to purchase a 2.14 acre property on the north side of Ellis between Bandilier
Circle and Pacific Street. The Sanitation District expects to close escrow by the end of
February 2017 on this parcel. Although this parcel is less than five acres, the
Adminstration Building could be built on this parcel with minimal parking. Without
additional property, a separate new Laboratory Building and parking for both the new
Laboratory Building and the new Administration Building could then be constructed in the
location of the existing Administration Building.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with neighboring agencies
• Provide a safe and collegial workplace
PROBLEM
The Administration Building, Human Resources Building, Purchasing Building,
Laboratory Building, and several temporary trailer complexes have significant code
compliance and deferred maintenance issues. Staff are dispersed throughout the plant
which is not conducive to effective organization functionality. Over 100 staff are located
in approximately 40,000 square feet of aging temporary trailers. Building systems are
antiquated and inefficient and do not meet desired level of service. These buildings do
not meet the City's Construction Code and Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Sanitation District is anticipating a future shortage of space for process facilities if the
Administration and Laboratory Buildings are constructed on-site. In addition, several
stormwater drainage and perimeter security upgrades must be addressed along Garfield
Avenue and Ellis Avenue as a result of the 1-405 widening impacts.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
N/A
TIMING CONCERNS
There are a number of timing concerns associated with this project:
• Acquiring additional property now would allow the new Administrative Building with
an attached Laboratory and a parking structure to be sited on the new property.
• As the City's Crossings Plan moves forward, the opportunity to acquire property in
this area may diminish.
Page 3 of 6
• As the 1-405 Widening project relocates the main entry to Plant No. 1, parking for
the Administration Building will be lost.
• Security and stormwater drainage deficiencies exist at the south property boundary
at Garfield Avenue that are dependent on the new building location.
• The Sanitation District is behind on their schedule commitment to City for
Americans with Disabilities Act compliance.
• Deferred maintenance on these buildings may need to be completed if the project
does not move forward in a timely manner.
• Cost escalation is significant for the Headquarters Complex project.

Activated-sludge process — A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria
reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen, and consume dissolved
nutrients in the wastewater.
Benthos—The community of organisms, such as sea stars, worms, and shrimp, which live on, in, or
near the seabed, also known as the benthic zone.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) —The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes
decomposition by microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in
water.
Blogas — A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a
digester tank that can be used as a fuel.
Biosolids — Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the
wastewater treatment process. This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on
farm land or further processed as an earth-like product for commercial and home gardens to improve
and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets.
Also includes treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
Coliform bacteria —A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also
occasionally found elsewhere used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coil are the most common
bacteria in wastewater.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Collections system — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and
convey sanitary wastewater or storm water.
Certificate of Participation (COP) — A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the
lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic
wastewater contaminants.
Dilution to Threshold (D/T) — the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the D/T for that air sample.
Greenhouse gases — In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse
effect").
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System — A joint water reclamation project that proactively
responds to Southern California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the
Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service(LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NDMA— N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) — An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume—A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works(POTW)— Municipal wastewater treatment plant.
Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Line — A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million
gallons per day of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the ocean
for disposal, after treatment.
Sanitary sewer — Separate sewer systems specifically for the carrying of domestic and industrial
wastewater. Combined sewers carry both wastewater and urban run-off.
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) — Regional regulatory agency that
develops plans and regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions
from business and industry.
Secondary treatment — Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated-sludge process,
where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
Sludge— Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
Total suspended solids (TSS)—The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Trickling filter — A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other
microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in
wastewater as it trickles over them.
Urban runoff — Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm
drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Wastewater—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.
Watershed —A land area from which water drains to a particular water body. OCSD's service area is
in the Santa Ana River Watershed.
