Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Nick Arhontes, P.E., Director of Facilities Support Services
SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF VALVES AT BAY BRIDGE VALVE VAULT,
PROJECT NO. FR10-018
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Authorize the General Manager to competitively bid and subsequently award a
contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, for the Replacement of
Valves at Bay Bridge Valve Vault, Project No. FR10-018, for an amount not to

SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is planning to rehabilitate the Newport
Force Mains located within Pacific Coast Highway pursuant to Contract No. 5-60
(Newport Force Main Rehabilitation Project). This project is currently scheduled to
commence late spring 2014. The valve replacements must be completed ahead of
Contract No. 5-60.
The Bay Bridge Valve Vault is located on the south side of West Pacific Coast Highway
between Bayshore Drive and Newport Bay in the City of Newport Beach. The work
covered under this contract will replace four 24-inch knife valves within the Bay Bridge
Valve Vault. These valves are over 20 years old, at the end of useful life, and leak
when closed. The Bay Bridge Valve Vault is a confined space and requires confined
space safety measures be included in the work. In addition, the work includes
temporary sewage bypass, removal of sewage from the force mains, as well as other
associated work.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OCSD is planning to advertise the Bay Bridge Valve Vault, Project No. FR10-018 final
plans and specifications in February 2014 and open bids in March 2014. The bids will
be evaluated in accordance with the OCSD's policies and procedures, and awarded to
the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. OCSD's project schedule is estimated at
Page 1 of 2
45 calendar days after the "notice to proceed" has been issued. At this time, it is
expected to be completed by May 30, 2014.
The Bay Bridge Valve Vault structure was constructed in 1981 and is located next to the
Newport Bay. The salt air environment has caused significant corrosion to the structure
over the past 33 years. The four valves located within the structure have not been
replaced to date. OCSD has pre-purchased four valves in anticipation of this required
maintenance work. The OCSD supplied valves will be provided to the contactor that is
awarded this contract, and the contractor will be required to install the valves pursuant
to the plans and specifications prepared by OCSD.
A delay in the Bay Bridge Valve Vault Project will delay Contract No. 5-60. A delay in
Contract No 5-60 will delay a Caltrans Street Project that starts in the summer of 2016.
As a result, it is imperative that the Bay Bridge Valve Vault Project is completed prior to
the beginning of summer 2014.

most stringent regulatory requirement at no cost to OCSD. Contractor and all their employees
and subcontractors, shall adhere to all applicable OCSD Safety and Human Resources Policies

under this Contract, Contractor shall, within the time agreed to by OCSD and Contractor, take
all such actions as are necessary to correct or complete the noted deficiency(ies) at
Contractor's sole expense.
15. Performance Time is of the essence in the performance of this Contract and the
provisions hereof.
16. Liquidated Damages
In the event the CONTRACTOR fails to achieve Final Completion of the Work within the
required period of performance or fails to meet any other time requirements set forth in the
Contract Documents, including the timely submittal or update of the Project Schedule or
achievement of any designated milestones or deadline as required in the approved Schedule of
Values, after due allowance for extensions of time made in accordance with the Contract
Documents, if any, OCSD will sustain damage which would be extremely difficult and
impracticable to ascertain. The parties therefore agree that in each such event, CONTRACTOR
will pay to OCSD the sum of $ per day, as Liquidated Damages, and not as a
penalty, for each and every calendar day during which Final Completion of the Project is so
delayed, or timely submittal or update of the Project Schedule is so delayed. If deadlines for
milestones are identified in the approved Schedule of Values, CONTRACTOR shall pay OCSD
the Liquidated Damage amount corresponding to that milestone for each and every day during
which the achievement of the milestone is delayed. CONTRACTOR agrees to pay such

monies due to the CONTRACTOR under this Contract, CONTRACTOR shall pay all such
amounts to OCSD upon demand. Liquidated Damages due to delays in achieving a milestone
or deadline will not be credited toward Liquidated Damages due to delays in achieving
subsequent milestones, deadlines or Final Completion of the Work. If this Special Provision,
"Delay and Liquidated Damages," is found for any reason to be void, invalid or otherwise
inoperative so as to disentitle OCSD from claiming Liquidated Damages; OCSD is entitled to
claim against the CONTRACTOR damages at law for the CONTRACTOR's failure to complete
the Project by the Final Completion date.
17. Force Marl Neither parry shall be liable for delays caused by accident, flood, acts of
God, fire, labor trouble, war, acts of government or any other cause beyond its control, but said

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: COOPERATIVE PROCURMENT WITH W.W. GRAINGER
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Authorize the purchase of maintenance tools and supplies from W.W. Grainger,
Inc., in accordance with Ordinance No. OCSD-44, Section 2.03(B): Cooperative
Procurement; for the period beginning March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015
with two one-year renewals in the amount of$200,000 per year; and
B. Approve a contingency of$20,000 (10%).
SUMMARY
In order to properly maintain and repair Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD)
facilities the Operations and Maintenance and Facilities Support Services departments
have a need to purchase parts and supplies. Many of these parts and supplies are a
onetime purchase or are purchased so infrequently that it is not appropriate to stock
them in the OCSD's warehouse.
In March 2012, the Operations Committee approved a sole source contract with W.W.
Grainger as the primary provider of Facilities Maintenance, Lighting Products, Industrial
Supplies and Tools due to their Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract
pricing, breadth of product offerings, availability and the ease of their online ordering
system.
W.W. Grainger's contract expires February 28, 2014. Staff has been very satisfied with
W.W Graingers support of the core duties of the Operations and Maintenance
department, and therefore recommends that OCSD continue to contract with W.W.
Grainger as the primary provider of said parts and supplies.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
March 2012 — Operations Committee authorized purchases of maintenance tools and
supplies from W.W. Grainger, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $200,000, in
accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 3.08; Cooperative Procurement;
and approve a contingency of$20,000 (10%).
Page 1 of 2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) agreements are available to all State
of California governmental entities (State agencies, cities, counties, special districts,
school districts, universities, etc.) that expend public funds for the acquisition of both
goods and services.
The State of California purchases a wide variety of goods and services ranging from
pencils to temporary labor. Annual purchases total almost $10 billion. The Procurement
Division (PD) is the central purchasing authority for all State departments and local
government agencies. With a massive marketplace and billions of dollars in purchasing
power they are able to offer a lower procurement cost to California's State, county, city,
special district, education and other government entities through their Leveraged
Procurement Agreements (LPAs). LPAs allow entities/agencies to buy directly from
suppliers through existing contracts and agreements. One of the LPAs that the state
offers to California governmental agencies is the Western State Contracting Alliance
(WSCA) for Commodities, IT Goods & Services, and Telecommunication Goods and
Services.

SUBJECT: ELECTRICAL RELAY TESTING AND CALIBRATION
SPECIFICATION NO. S-2013-574-R2
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Award a contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Power Testing
and Energization, for Electrical Relay Testing and Calibration, Specification No.
S-2013-574-R2, for a total amount not to exceed $296,990; and
B. Approve a contingency of$59,000 (20%).
SUMMARY
This Contract will provide electrical testing services for testing all of the electrical
protective relays at Plant No's 1 and 2. The Orange County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) Electrical Maintenance Division is required by safety regulations to
periodically test these devices to ensure that they will function correctly when an
electrical problem arises.
The Sanitation District advertised for bids for electrical relay testing and calibration on
Nov 1, 2013. Four sealed bids were received on December 12, 2013. The bids were
evaluated in accordance with the Sanitation District's policies and procedures. Power
Testing and Energization was deemed the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Staff
recommends awarding a contract to Power Testing and Energization for Electrical Relay
Testing and Calibration Specification No. S-2013-574-R2, for a total amount not to
exceed $296,990.
The estimated duration of this project is 480 calendar days. A 20% contingency is
being proposed since the activities of the contractor has the potential to disrupt on-going
treatment processes and possibly delaying the contractor to wait for low flow or more
favorable conditions to de-energize equipment.
Page 1 of 2
Summary information on the bid opening for Electrical Relay Testing and Calibration
Specification No. S-2013-574-R2 is as follows:
Bidder Amount of Bid
Power Testing and Energization $ 296,990
Southwest Energy Systems, LLC $ 489,010
VISTAM, Inc. $ 493,380
Hampton Tedder Technical Services $ 1,046,830
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Electrical Relays are protective devices that serve as the watchdogs in an electrical
power system. These devices are designed to continuously monitor electrical circuits
for problems (like short circuits) over the decades-long lifespan of the equipment. Yet if
a problem arises at any time, those same devices must swiftly trip circuit breakers in
split-seconds to prevent injury to personnel and reduce damage to equipment. It is
therefore necessary to periodically test the devices to ensure that they will work when
required.
CEQA
A Notice of Exemption was filed for this work. The work is categorically exempt from
CEQA under section 15301 Existing Facilities, class 1 (b) — repair and maintenance of
existing facilities of both investor and publicly owned utilities used to provide electric
power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services.
BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE
This recommendation complies with authority levels of the OCSD Delegation of
Authority. There are sufficient funds in the budget to cover the requested service. This
item is budgeted under Division 860, object 54010, Repairs and Maintenance Services,
$761,200.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager

Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF LOCAL SEWERS IN SERVICE AREA 7
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the General Manager to:
A. Approve agreement with East Orange County Water District (EOCWD), to
transfer ownership of local sewers in Service Area 7, and the appropriate reserve
balances, and
B. Provide EOCWD with technical and financial information to assist with its
submittal of a reorganization application to the Orange County Local Area
Formation Commission (OC LAFCO) to facilitate the transfer of ownership of the
local sewers and agreed assets; and
C. Draft and execute a letter of support to OC LAFCO in favor of EOCWD's
reorganization application, subject to and contingent upon OC LAFCO's
acceptance of the terms and conditions of transfer agreed upon by OCSD and
EOCWD; and
D. Approve an agreement with EOCWD to reimburse OCSD for staff support
requested during an agreed transition period.
SUMMARY
OCSD currently owns and operates 174 miles of local sewers in Service Area 7, located
in the City of Tustin and unincorporated county areas north of Tustin, including the El
Modena islands. Our Strategic Plan includes an initiative to transfer these local sewers
to a local (retail) agency.
In 2013 the City of Tustin asked for and was granted additional time to consider
accepting the transfer of all the local sewers in Service Area 7. After the City indicated
that it was no longer interested in obtaining local facilities, EOCWD expressed its
interest in acquiring 100% of the local sewers from OCSD and requested information on
the local sewer system.
The proposed transfer of ownership of the local sewers will require an OC LAFCO-
approved reorganization because the boundaries of Service Area 7 cover several
jurisdictions. EOCWD staff will seek authorization from its Board in February to initiate
Page 1 of 3
the OC LAFCO process. OC LAFCO's estimated timeline (attached) shows that the
overall process will take approximately nine months to conclude. Assuming a February
filing date, the reorganization process should be completed in November 2014.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2013—Five Year Strategic Plan and prior OCSD Strategic Plans support the
transfer.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Retail or local sewer agencies collect wastewater from residential, commercial and
industrial properties through local sewer lines. Each city or special district providing
local service has established its own local sewer fee depending on its site specific costs
to own, manage, operate and maintain its local wastewater collection system. Parts of
Tustin and unincorporated areas of the County are owned, operated and serviced
entirely by OCSD. The cost of the local sewerage system is apportioned to each
property owner based on the amount of the average wastewater discharged from that
type of parcel.
The Area 7 local sewer service fees currently collected by OCSD are based upon
financial and engineering studies and reports. The annual single-family residential
(SFR) user rate is $216 and the multi-family residential (MFR) use per apartment unit is
$151.20. These fees have been set to support annual operating expenses and to build
a reserve for future capital costs. The current reserve balance is $25 million, however;
that amount will change depending on the date of recordation of the transfer. OCSD
proposes to transfer these reserves to EOCWD following its assumption of ownership
for the Area 7 local sewers.
The proposed transfer agreement will be essentially cost/revenue neutral to OCSD.
The fees currently collected by OCSD for local sewer service will be collected by
EOCWD. EOCWD will assume responsibility for all maintenance costs, as well as
capital improvement and replacement costs.
The assets included in the proposed transfer serve approximately 18,000 parcels. The
entire local sewer system is comprised of gravity sewers ranging between 4 and 27
inches in diameter, however the vast majority of the assets are 8-inch Vitrified Clay Pipe
(VCP). There are no pumping facilities.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth
herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are
incorporated into this Agreement.
2. Cooperation.
a. OCSD and EOCWD shall work cooperatively to complete the
successful transfer from OCSD to EOCWD of the Local Sewer Facilities and the
assumption of responsibility for ongoing operation and maintenance of the Local
Sewer Facilities by EOCWD by no later than December 1, 2014. Both Parties
shall execute any further documents consistent with the terms of this Agreement,
including documents in recordable form, necessary or appropriate to fulfill the
obligations imposed by this Agreement.
3. LAFCO Proposal.
a. Initiation of Proceedings. EOCWD shall, within one month
(30 days) from the Effective Date, initiate proceedings under the Cortese-Knox-
Herzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, as amended,
Government Code section 56000, et seq., requesting LAFCO approval of a
reorganization proposal (the "Proposal"). The resolution of application enacted
by EOCWD and submitted to LAFCO shall propose that LAFCO's approval of the
Proposal shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
EOCWD shall be solely responsible for the direct costs incurred in connection
with the initiation and processing of the Proposal, and LAFCO approval thereof,
including without limitation any LAFCO deposits, application or processing fees,
and the cost of preparing any legal descriptions, boundary surveys or maps. The
Proposal shall consisting of the following:
i. The activation of EOCWD's latent powers for the provision
of local retail sewer service;
ii. A sphere of influence amendment and the annexation of
certain territory within Service Area 7 that is not within the current boundaries of
EOCWD; and
iii. A proposal by EOCWD to provide a new or different
service — "local" sewer service—within the entirety of Service Area 7.
b. Letter of Support. OCSD shall cooperate with EOCWD and
use its best efforts to support the Proposal in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. OCSD shall, within 45 days of EOCWD's filing of the Proposal with
LAFCO, file with LAFCO a formal Letter of Support in favor of the Proposal
Page 2 of 12
972720.3
Return to Mende Report
executed by the General Manager ("Letter of Support"). The Letter of Support
shall propose that LAFCO's approval of the Proposal shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. OCSD shall execute such documents
and take such other actions to support and facilitate the processing of the
Proposal as may be reasonably requested by EOCWD, provided such actions
shall not result in any cost or expense to OCSD (other than overhead and
employee staff time).
C. Continuing Support for Proposal. The Parties agree to
support and not oppose the Proposal before and after it is initiated. Specifically,
OCSD and EOCWD will cooperate and consult with one another in responding to
questions and inquiries from LAFCO, the public and the press, appear in support
of the Proposal at LAFCO hearings, and cooperate on a joint response in the
event that LAFCO or LAFCO staff propose to alter the Proposal. Furthermore,
OCSD agrees that, prior to December 1, 2014, or such earlier time as the
LAFCO proceedings have been completed or disapproved, it will not engage in
negotiations with other entities regarding the transfer of the Local Sewer
Facilities. Both Parties shall support the conditioning of LAFCO's approval of the
Proposal on the performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If
LAFCO or LAFCO staff propose an alteration to the Proposal that diverges from
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, either Party may oppose the
alteration, and if necessary, withdraw its support, and actively oppose LAFCO's
approval of the Proposal.
d. Public Outreach. EOCWD desires to proactively inform the
ratepayers within Service Area 7, and the general public, of the Proposal and the
process for implementing it, including opportunities for public involvement. In
furtherance of that desire, OCSD agrees to provide EOCWD with a mailing list of
the property owners in Service Area 7 (consistent with the format used for
Proposition 218 notifications) in an Excel spreadsheet or an Access compatible
(SOL) database format within 30 days of EOCWD's submittal of an application to
LAFCO. In the written materials, EOCWD shall accurately and fairly describe the
Proposal and may indicate that the Proposal is jointly proposed and supported by
EOCWD and OCSD. EOCWD shall provide OCSD an opportunity to review and
approve the written material it intends to mail to the property owners in Service
Area 7 prior to such mailing. OCSD shall approve, or request changes to, the
written materials within ten days of receipt. If OCSD fails to approve or request
revisions within 10 days, it shall be deemed to have approved the materials.
OCSD shall approve, or request changes to, revised written materials that
incorporate or respond to OCSD's requests for changes within 5 days of receipt,
or the materials shall be deemed approved. All costs of producing such material
and mailing it will be paid by EOCWD.
e. Tax Exchange Negotiations and Consultations. The Parties
shall cooperate in seeking to have the Board of Supervisors adopt a property tax
exchange resolution pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code section 99
exchanging property tax from OCSD to EOCWD. The Parties agree that in the
Page 3 of 12
972720.3
Return to Mende Report
tax exchange negotiation and consultation process they will jointly support and
advocate for having all of the property tax associated with the Local Sewer
Facilities be exchanged from OCSD to EOCWD. In Fiscal Year 2012/13, the
estimated property tax collected for the local sewers was [$_,_.00].
f. Local Sewer Service User Fee.
i. OCSD's Annual Local Sewer Service User Fee ("the Fee")
shall be continued and following the effective date, to the extent feasible, shall be
collected by EOCWD rather than by OCSD. OCSD collects the Fee by including
reporting it to the County of Orange, which collects it on the property tax roll, and
EOCWD intends to do the same. Should it not be feasible, due to statutory or
County requirements, for responsibility for collection of the Fee for the 2014-2015
fiscal year to be transferred to EOCWD, OCSD shall account for and promptly
transmit any such revenues it receives from the County that are attributable to
the Fee imposed in Service Area 7 for the 2014-2014 fiscal year. OCSD shall
rescind the Fee, as it pertains to the Local Sewer Facilities, by no later than July
1, 2015, or at such earlier time as EOCWD may enact its own local sewer service
userfees.
ii. EOCWD shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, OCSD,
its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all claims,
actions, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney's fees and
reasonable expenses for litigation or settlement) in connection with or arising out
of OCSD's assessment, distribution, and collection of the Fees, including without
limitation any such claims asserting that the collection and transfer of the Fee by
OCSD to EOCWD violates Proposition 218.
4. Transfer of Local Sewer Facilities.
a. Upon the effective date of LAFCO's approval of the Proposal
and the requested reorganization ("Date of Reorganization"), EOCWD shall
accept ownership of the Local Sewer Facilities and all maintenance
responsibilities, as well as the responsibility for all sewer spill notification,
reporting, and related regulatory activities. Furthermore, EOCWD shall negotiate,
execute and maintain its own contracts with third-party contractors for line-
cleaning, CCTV, rehabilitation, repairs and replacement, engineering consultants,
and similar services, and directly pay all costs for such contracts.
b. Prior to the Date of Reorganization, EOCWD shall fully
execute and deliver to OCSD the Quitclaim Deed, attached hereto as Exhibit "B",
transferring ownership of the Local Sewer Facilities from OCSD to EOCWD.
C. Within five (5) business days following the Date of
Reorganization, OCSD shall submit the Quitclaim Deed for recordation in the
Official Records, Orange County California. Upon recordation, OCSD shall
transmit a conformed copy of the Quitclaim Deed to EOCWD.

number (VIN) 4V52AFHDOSR474402). These vehicles shall be provided to
EOCWD "as is" and with no warranties or representations whatsoever as to the
condition of the vehicle, or the suitability of the vehicle for any purpose. EOCWD
hereby acknowledges that it has/will be granted the opportunity to inspect the
vehicles and their maintenance records and has/will do so prior to the Date of
Reorganization.
g. On or prior to the Date of Reorganization, OCSD shall allow
EOCWD to review, reference and utilize OCSD established specifications for
line-cleaning, CCTV, rehabilitation, repairs and replacement, and similar
services, as mutually agreed by the Parties.

RE: Letter in Support of East Orange County Water District
Reorganization Application
Dear Chair Wilson,
On behalf of the Orange County Sanitation District ("OCSD"), I am sending this letter to you,
with copies to the CC LAFCO commissioners, to express OCSD's support of the East Orange
County Water District("EOCWD")Reorganization Application.
The OCSD Five-Year Strategic establishes as a goal the transfer back to cities and sanitary
districts local sewer assets that are not serving a true regional purpose. In furtherance of this
goal, OCSD has negotiated an agreement to transfer its ownership of local sewer lines and
appurtenant facilities located in OCSD Service Area 7 to EOCWD. The terms and conditions
applicable to the proposed transfer are memorialized in the Local Sewer Facilities Transfer
Agreement ("Transfer Agreement") entered into between OCSD and EOCWD on
2014.
Again, on behalf of OCSD, I urge CC LAFCO to approve the EOCWD Reorganization
Application, and ask that such approval incorporate the Transfer Agreement terms and
conditions.
Very truly yours,
James D. Herberg, General Manager

• Fiscal Year 13-14 Second Quarter Odor Complaint Summary
Page 1 of 1
Fiscal Year 13-14 2n°Quarter
1. Plant 1 Treatment Facility Odor Complaint Summary
Plant 1 received 6 attributable odor complaints. The complaints can be attributed to digester
cleaning, waste-hauler track activity, and odors produced by the Trickling Filters. In an effort to
better define the source of the problem and improve public relations, The Public Information
Office (PIO) and Operations met with a neighbor who on two occasions had expressed concerns
to our Board of Directors. The neighbor participated in a sniff test which helped staff better
identify the source of those odors. (PIO) and Operations Management will continue to evaluate
sources of the odor and communicate OCSD efforts.
2. Plant 2 Treatment Facility Odor Complaint Summary
Plant 2 received 6 attributable odor complaints. These complaints seem to be directly
related to our new Trickling Filter process. Staff has identified several points of
background odors generated by this process. The most significant odor being a "garlic
smell" which is emitted from carbon scrubbers used to treat trickling filter odors. (PIO)
and operations continue to work with nearby neighbors to better identify and mitigate
odors. Staff has made several process adjustments to mitigate the odors with the most
significant adjustment being the change out of the media in the carbon odor scrubbers.
Staff will monitor the media for garlic odors and replace as needed. Due to the
estimated frequency of carbon change out, Operations with support from Engineering
staff have begun looking into alternative odor scrubbing technology.
3. Collection Facilities Odor Complaints—Second Quarter FY 13/14
OCSD received no odor complaints potentially due to the collection system. Based on our
current upstream sewage conditioning program, our goal for level of service is 34 or fewer
complaints caused by OCSD.

SUMMARY
Staff will present an informational overview of the Enterprise Asset Management —
Planning and Scheduling software impacts on Maximo Asset Management software
implementation.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
July 2013 — Approved the Maximo Phase 3 implementation, migrate assets into
Maximo.
May 2012 — Approved the Maximo Phase 2 implementation, migrate inventory, and
receiving functions into Maximo.
October 2011 —Approved the Maximo Phase 1 implementation, needs assessment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Orange County Sanitation District is installing Maximo, a new asset management
system. At the same time, Operations and Maintenance is changing business
processes to move to a planned and scheduled environment. This is a large effort that
will increase efficiency and allow existing staff to complete tasks in less time. The
planning and scheduling module available natively in Maximo is in its early release and
lacks the functionality required of high-level functions required during this transition. The
proposed solution will fully integrate with IBM-Maximo 7.5 and above. Staff will provide
an overview of the project and describe the benefits Operations and Maintenance will
achieve in using the new system.

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.
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.
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. coli are the most common
bacteria in wastewater.
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 (DR) — the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the D(f 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.
NOMA— 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 (MGD) of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the
ocean for disposal, after treatment.

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.
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.
