Herberg, General Manager Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: MATERIALS TESTING, INSPECTION, AND OTHER GEOTECHNICAL TESTING SERVICES GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement, PSA2013-001, with Sequoia Consultants, Inc. to provide on-call Materials Testing, Inspection, and other Geotechnical Testing Services for Collection System and Treatment Plant projects, for an amount not to exceed $100,000, increasing the total contract amount not to exceed $300,000. SUMMARY In June 2013, the Board approved a contract with Sequoia Consultants, Inc. (Sequoia) to provide on-call Materials Testing, Inspection, and other Geotechnical Testing Services to support the ongoing CIP construction efforts. This procurement resulted in an award to a panel of three companies to provide these services and was a competitive selection process. The contracts were awarded for a three-year term not to exceed $200,000 for each of the three firms. Unit rates were locked in at that time. These on-call materials testing, inspection and geotechnical testing service contracts augment our construction management staff to provide laboratory testing and certified sampling of construction materials and soils to ensure projects are constructed to comply with specified standards. The contract amounts for the on-call support contracts are determined based upon future project information known at the time and forecasting the anticipated level of effort to support the projects. With the amount of construction and oversight needed for quality assurance over the last two-year period, especially with the demanding geotechnical needs of the newly installed pipelines in Newport Beach, the originally estimated contract amount to complete the contact term are insufficient. Based upon a revised forecast of the construction through June 2016, an Amendment in the amount of $100,000 is needed to provide the testing and inspection services required to support this work. A new Request for Proposal for the on-call testing and inspection services will be advertised over the next few months resulting in new contracts being recommended for approval to the Board early next year in order to have these take effect in July 2016 for a new three-year term.

Herberg, General Manager Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations & Maintenance SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND INCREASE TO AGREEMENT J-79-1A FOR CENTRAL GENERATION AUTOMATION/CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS MONITORING SYSTEMS (CEMS) GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Approve additional maintenance services to a Sole Source Purchase Order Service Agreement, J-79-1A with CEMTEK Environmental for maintenance of the Central Generation Engines continuous emissions monitoring systems, for an additional amount of $104,068, for a new total amount not to exceed $361,568, for the contract period ending November 22, 2017. SUMMARY Eight (8) Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) units monitor the exhaust gases of each operational central generation engine as required by permits from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The CEMS units and supporting Data Acquisition and Handling Software (DAHS) were procured from CEMTEK Environmental. The CEMTEK Environmental has been successfully servicing and maintaining the existing units, and providing calibration verification reports to SCAQMD since 2008. To comply with the SCAQMD Rule 1110.2 for stationary engines, new emission control equipment is being installed under project J-111 that includes eight (8) additional CEMTEK sampling points for continuous emissions monitoring. Since CEMTEK is the sole service provider of the equipment and is familiar with the original computer code and programing, staff recommends that the contract for maintenance and reporting services be expanded to cover the additional equipment being installed under the capital improvement program. This will help ensure reliability, regulatory compliance, and continued support. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS October 2012 — Approval of Contract No. J-79-A renewal, Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (GEMS). The renewal of a Sole Source Service Agreement with CEMTEK Environmental was awarded for a total amount of $257,500 for a five-year period. September 2008 — Approval of Contract No. J-79-lA awarded to Morrow Meadows for Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (GEMS). The original maintenance contract was awarded as part of the project that installed the CEMS. Page 1 of 2 February 2005 — Approval of Professional Design Services Agreement with Black & Veatch Corporation to prepare plans and specifications for the Central Generation Automation, Project No. J-79-1. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION During Contract No. J-79-1A, the project that installed the CEMS, the District's standard for Modicon PLC equipment was enforced. The Modicon PLCs require custom code to be written by CEMTEK that is held to be proprietary to them. Maintenance or capital projects involving changes to the code require their involvement.

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.
