and Websphere using GSA Advantage contract# GS-35F-0265X through the expiration
date, May 2, 2016 for a total amount not to exceed $200,000, in accordance with
Ordinance OCSD-47, Section 2.03(B) Cooperative Purchases.
SUMMARY
In order to properly maintain and repair Orange County Sanitation District's (OCSD)
facilities,the Information Technology(IT)division has needs to purchase software support
and maintenance as a service for IBM Maximo and IBM Websphere software. Such
requirements will help maintain our Enterprise Asset Management system (IBM Maximo)
and financial management system (JDE). The renewal and payment for software support
and maintenance is executed on an annual basis.
OCSD's Purchasing Division, in collaboration with the Information Technology division,
administered a bidding process for this purchase (Bid# S-2015-68013D), obtaining
competitive sealed bids from multiple vendors in accordance with Section 2.02 of
Ordinance OCSD-44. The lowest bidder could not fulfil our pricing requirements and
withdrew its bid. As a result, Bid# S-2015-68OBD was cancelled as pricing was not per
section 3.10 of our specification.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
GS-35F-0265X GSA Advantage, Special Item Number 132-34 — includes software
maintenance agreements and software licenses for IBM products. Staff will use this

IBM Maximo was implemented in January 2015 and is used in the lifecycle management
of the treatment plants' physical assets. The product provides real-time visibility into
asset performance and enables staff to pro-actively control and optimize asset
performance. This includes improved asset and labor productivity, better optimization of
maintenance resources, improved efficiency in inventory management, and prevent asset

OCSD desires to select the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA)/ National
Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) contract#1327164 as established by
HP as the lead agency, as the primary providers of computer and peripheral equipment
based on contract pricing, breadth of product offerings, availability and the ease of using

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nth generation is a participating and approved subcontractor of HP under WSCA/NASPO
contract# B27164.
Page 1 of 2
NASPO, The National Association of State Procurement Officials, is a non-profit
association dedicated to strengthening the procurement community through education,
research, and communication. It is made up of the directors of the central purchasing
offices in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of the United
States. NASPO is an organization through which the member purchasing officials provide
leadership in professional public purchasing, improve the quality of purchasing and
procurement, exchange information, and cooperate to attain greater efficiency and
economy.
In 1993, the 15 states from NASPO's western region came together to establish a means
by which states mayjoin together in cooperative multi-state contracting in order to achieve
cost-effective and efficient acquisition of quality products and services. This group is
better known as WSCA, the Western States Contracting Alliance. States included in this
group are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. WSCA
is a national leader in facilitating cooperative purchasing that benefits the states, cities,
counties, public schools, and institutions of higher education. These contracting initiatives
are administered by a western region state and follow a review process managed by the
state directors from the western region.
As a result of the great success in the western region, NASPO leaders initiated the
NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Committee in 2002 to assist member states both in and
outside of the western region in establishing cooperative multi-state contracts. Similar to
the original WSCA model, NASPO assists member states in all regions in establishing
cooperative multi-state contracts.
All authorized governmental entities are welcome to use NASPO ValuePoint (formerly
WSCA-NASPO) approved agreements.

Orange County Sanitation District Establishing Use Charges for the 2015-16 Fiscal Year
Pursuant to the Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Agreement with the Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority ("SAWPA")".
SUMMARY
Currently, OCSD invoices Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority on a quarterly basis
for the wastewater discharge we receive from the SARI line. Annually, the rates for flow,
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS) are calculated
based upon the fiscal year budget for treatment and disposal costs and the 1996
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal agreement. The rates calculated for each
constituent for FY 2015-16 for wastewater discharge are:
FLOW $178.94
BOD $284.12
TSS $396.19
The FY 2015-16 rates are a 2.08 percent decrease from the FY 2014-15 rates due to a
2.08 percent decrease in the treatment and disposal costs in the proposed FY 2015-16
Budget. These rates are separate from the rates charged for additional capacity
purchases by SAWPA.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015-16
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 15-14 entitled, "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Orange County Sanitation District Establishing the Annual Appropriations Limit for Fiscal
Year 2015-16 for the District in accordance with the Provisions of Division 9 of Title 1 of
the California Government Code."
SUMMARY
This routine annual action adopts a resolution establishing the spending limit for
"proceeds of taxes" in accordance with Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of
California (Section 7910 of the Government Code). The Sanitation District's annual
appropriations are well below the limit.
In 1979, Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative)was approved adding Article XIII B to the State
Constitution. The provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can
be appropriated by all entities of government. This initiative was designed to constrain
government expenditures by placing an annual limit on jurisdictions' revenue and
appropriation growth. The Appropriation Limit is based on actual appropriations during
the 1978-1979 fiscal year, as increased each year using specified population and
inflationary growth factors. This annual allowance growth is linked to changes in
population and cost of living. The passage of Proposition 111 in June 1990 amended
Article XIIIB, making changes in the base year upon which the appropriations limit is
based, establishing new cost of living factors and new population factors for use by local
governments, and increasing appropriations not subject to the limit (primarily qualified
capital outlay projects). The financial constraints of Article XIII B apply to the State, all
cities, counties, special districts and all other political subdivisions.

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 know 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.
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.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic
wastewater contaminants.
Dilution to Threshold (D!f) — the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the DrT 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 (MGD) of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the
