Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: ANNUAL LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Award a contract to Tropical Plaza Nursery Inc., for Landscape services,
Specification No. S-2014-62313D, for the period January 1, 2015 through
December 31, 2015, for a total annual amount not to exceed $148,986 with four
one-year renewal options; and
B. Approve a contingency of$14,898 (10%).
SUMMARY
The District has a regular need for landscape maintenance services at our two
treatment plants and miscellaneous offsite facilities. These types of services include all
facets of grounds keeping and landscape maintenance. OCSD's current landscape
contract with Tropical Plaza Nursery Inc. is set to expire on December 31, 2014.
In order to rebid this service, staff developed a scope of work and competitively bid the
annual landscape services. Thirty-six vendors were notified and four competitive bids
were received. (See table 1 below).
OCSD Staff recommends that the contract be awarded to the second low bidder,
Tropical Plaza Nursery Inc. During the reference check for the apparent low bidder
Landscape West Management Services Inc.(Landscape West), OCSD received (3)
three unfavorable reference checks out of (5) five from Landscape West's submitted
reference list. Based on the fact that the majority of Landscape West's own references
reported performance issues and to protect OCSD from similar contract compliance
difficulties, OCSD staff notified all bidders that the award recommendation was to reject
the low bid as non-responsible and award the contract to the second low bidder.
Although this contract is not a public work and therefore not subject to various Public
Contract Code bidding and contract award limitation, OCSD's Notice Inviting Bids (NIB)
for the contract did provide the bidders procedures for the filing of protests challenging
the award of the contract. Pursuant to those procedures, Landscape West notified
OCSD of its protest to OCSD's intent to award the contract to the second low bidder and
submitted in writing the basis for its protest. Also, pursuant to the protest procedures in
Page 1 of 3
1049390.1
the NIB, Landscape West requested and was provided an informal hearing presided
over by OCSD's Purchasing Manager wherein Landscape West was given an
opportunity to rebut the evidence of non-responsibility and to present evidence of its
qualifications. After listening to the arguments presented at the informal hearing and
reviewing the evidence, the Purchasing Manager upheld OCSD Staffs finding of non-
responsibility and denied Landscape West's protest. In his Notice of Determination sent
to Landscape West, the Purchasing Manager notified Landscape West it could file a
written appeal of his determination to OCSD's Director of Administrative Services within
seven days of the date of the determination letter. Landscape West did not file such an
appeal.
Therefore, and based on the finding that Landscape West is non-responsible, OCSD
Staff proceeded with the intent to award to Tropical Plaza Nursery Inc., the next lowest
responsive and responsible bidder. The reference checks for Tropical Plaza Nursery
Inc., all provided positive feedback. Therefore, staff is recommending awarding Tropical
Plaza Nursery Inc., this contract.

WITNESSETH
That for and in consideration of the promises and agreements hereinafter made and exchanged,
OCSD and CONTRACTOR agree as follows:
SECTION-1 GENERAL CONDITIONS
CONTRACTOR certifies and agrees that all the terms, conditions and obligations of the
Contract Documents as hereinafter defined, the location of the job site, and the conditions under
which the Work is to be performed have been thoroughly reviewed, and enters into this Contract
based upon CONTRACTOR's investigation of all such matters and is in no way relying upon
any opinions or representations of OCSD. It is agreed that this Contract represents the entire
agreement. It is further agreed that the Contract Documents are each incorporated into this
Contract by reference, with the same force and effect as if the same were set forth at length
herein, and that CONTRACTOR and its Subcontractors, if any, will be and are bound by any
and all of said Contract Documents insofar as they relate in any part or in any way, directly or
indirectly, to the Work covered by this Contract.

b. Addenda issued prior to opening of Bids—the last in time being the first in
precedence

j. CONTRACTOR'S Bid
2. In the event of a conflict between terms within an individual Contract Document, the
conflict shall be resolved by applying the following principles as appears applicable:

specified shall be the same as similar parts that are shown or specified, or as
directed. Full-size details shall take precedence over scale Drawings as to

and workmanship.
b. The Contract Documents calling for the higher quality material or workmanship
shall prevail. Materials or Work described in words, which so applied, have a
well known technical or trade meaning shall be deemed to refer to such
recognized standards. In the event of any discrepancy between any Drawings
and the figures thereon, the figures shall be taken as correct.
C. Scale Drawings, full-size details, and Specifications are intended to be fully
complementary and to agree. Should any discrepancy between Contract
Documents come to the CONTRACTOR's attention, or should an error occur in
the efforts of others, which affect the Work, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the
ENGINEER, in writing, at once. In the event any doubts or questions arise with
respect to the true meaning of the Contract Documents, reference shall be
made to the ENGINEER whose written decision shall be final. If the
CONTRACTOR proceeds with the Work affected without written instructions
from the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for any
resultant damage or defect.
d. Anything mentioned in the Specifications and not indicated in the Plans, or
indicated in the Plans and not mentioned in the Specifications, shall be of like
effect as if indicated and mentioned in both. In case of discrepancy in the
Plans or Specifications, the matter shall be immediately submitted to OCSD's
ENGINEER, without whose decision CONTRACTOR shall not adjust said
discrepancy save only at CONTRACTOR's own risk and expense. The
decision of the ENGINEER shall be final.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Atkins North
America, Inc. for Final Effluent Sampler and Building Area Upgrades, Project
No. J-110, for an amount not to exceed $611,307; and
B. Approve a contingency of $61,131 (10%).
SUMMARY
This project is for the rehabilitation of existing facilities at Plant No. 2 and encompasses
diverse categories of work. This project demolishes final effluent sampling and ocean
monitoring trailers and one storage building, makes subsurface improvements, and
constructs a new final effluent sampling pump station and building with a small
laboratory area. This project rehabilitates large diameter final effluent outfall pipelines,
including the land section of the short-ocean outfall pipe, rehabilitates junction
structures and large valve boxes associated with the final effluent pipelines, and
rehabilitates Surge Tower No. 1. The short outfall work requires divers to install a
mechanical plug and metal plates in the outfall pipe. This project replaces two buried
natural gas pipelines, removes and replaces asphalt paving, retrofits a small storm
water pump station, replaces a bubbler system, and installs other miscellaneous items.
Atkins North American, Inc. (Atkins) has satisfactorily furnished engineering services for
the design of the Final Effluent Sampler and Building Area Upgrades, Project No. J-110.
Atkin's engineering support services are needed during the construction phase to
provide continuity of services through the completion of the project. The proposed
services will include reviewing submittals, answering Contractor's requests for
information, reviewing design changes, providing geotechnical observation during
construction, assisting during start-up, preparing record drawings, and assisting in
closeout of the project.
Staff negotiated with Atkins for these support services in accordance with the Orange
County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) adopted policies and procedures. A
review of the proposed price was conducted using estimated quantities of requests for
information, submittals, meetings, site visits, change order review, and design revisions,
Page 1 of 2
as well as the level of effort to prepare record drawings. Based on this review, staff
determined the negotiated fee to be fair and reasonable for these services. Staff
recommends awarding a Professional Consultant Services Agreement to Atkins.

Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action,
suits, arbitration awards, losses,judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses
including without limitation, reasonable attomeys' fees, disbursements and court costs,
and all other professional, expert or consultants fees and costs and the SANITATION
DISTRICT's general and administrative expenses (individually, a "Claim', or collectively,
"Claims")which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or indirectly, to any
work performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in
carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the negligent,
recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents,
employees, CONSULTANT's suppliers, consultants, subconsultants, subcontractors,
and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any
contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from:
(A)the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B)a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(C)the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT's supplier, consultant, subconsultanl, subcontractor, nor anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A)through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances
shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to
limit CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder.
The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the
parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654)that ambiguities are to be construed
against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

Revised 660214 FINAL EFFLUENT SAMPLER AND BUILDING AREA UPGRADES
Page 15 of 18
23. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
24. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the SANITATION
DISTRICT and may be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
25. CLOSEOUT
When the SANITATION DISTRICT determines that all Work authorized under the
Agreement is fully complete and that the SANITATION DISTRICT requires no further
work from CONSULTANT, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall give the
Consultant written notice that the Agreement will be closed out. CONSULTANT shall
submit all outstanding billings, work submittals, deliverables, reports or similarly related
documents as required under the Agreement within thirty (30)days of receipt of notice of
Agreement closeout.
Upon receipt of CONSULTANT's submittals, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall
commence a closeout audit of the Agreement and will either:
i. Give the CONSULTANT a final Agreement Acceptance: or
ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be
furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT's cost.

Revised 660214 FINAL EFFLUENT SAMPLER AND BUILDING AREA UPGRADES
Page 16 of 18
Return to Aaenda Report
CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any
administrative closeout efforts identified in this Agreement. Such support must be
provided within the timeframe requested by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding the final Agreement Acceptance the CONSULTANT will not be relieved
of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its obligations to
complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not disclosed to
the SANITATION DISTRICT (regardless of whether such nondisclosures were
fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise); and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated under
all those provisions of the Agreement which expressly or by their nature extend beyond
and survive final Agreement Acceptance.
Any failure by the SANITATION DISTRICT to reject the work or to reject the
CONSULTANT's request for final Agreement Acceptance as set forth above shall not be
deemed to be acceptance of the work by the SANITATION DISTRICT for any purpose
nor imply acceptance of, or agreement with, the CONSULTANT's request for final
Agreement Acceptance.

I. SUMMARY
Provide professional engineering services for the preparation of Final Design (including Plans
and Specifications), permit support, construction documents, and construction bid support
services for the replacement of Final Effluent Sampler and Building Area Upgrades.
Additionally, provide engineering services for the inspection and condition assessment of
various sections of the Short Ocean Outfall (78 inch Ocean Outfall), and associated pipelines
and structures to the Short Ocean Ouffall (see Figure 1 and 2); including preparation of
inspection plans, inspection reports, construction documents for the rehabilitation of these
facilities, and assistance during bid time. Services for the project elements described herein,
shall be provided in accordance with this Scope of Work.
It. BACKGROUND, GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROJECT
ELEMENTS
BACKGROUND
The Final Effluent Sampler Building at Plant No. 2, located at the south-east corner of the
property site of the plant, houses the sampling equipment used to collect samples of the final
effluent from the Long Ocean Ouffall before being discharged into the Pacific Ocean. Over the
years, several projects where implemented to upkeep the Final Effluent Sampler Building and
its sampling equipment. At this time the useful life of this building and equipment cannot be
extended any further. Therefore this project is to construct a new building to provide housing
for the new sampling equipment.
The Ocean Outfall System at Plant No. 2 includes two (2) pipelines to carry the final effluent
from the Ocean Ouffall Booster Station (GOBS pump station) and/or from the Effluent Pump
Station Annex (EPSA) into the Pacific Ocean. The ocean section of the Long Outfall pipeline
(120 inch) is approximately five (5) miles long and the Short Outfall pipeline (78 inch) is one (1)
mile long. At this time samples are taken only from the Long Ouffall pipeline through a
sampling port (stingers)and a sampling pumping system into the sampler building.
Both Ocean Ouffall pipelines have a Surge Tower to prevent damage from hydraulic surges
caused by pumping and tidal effects. Surge Tower No. 1 is associated with the Short Ouffall
and Surge Tower No. 2 is associated with the Long Outfall. Recent limited inspections of the
facilities indicate that there is corrosion, liner damages, and structural damages on several
locations on the land portion of the Short Outfall piping and Surge Tower No. 1. The Orange
County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) requires rehabilitation of the Short Outfall pipeline
in order to prevent effluent leakage from these facilities if the need for it use arises. In addition,
the Sanitation District would like to add a new sampling port (stingers)to the Short Ouffall
pipeline to allow for sampling of the effluent before discharge is made into the Pacific Ocean in
the event that the Short Outfall is used.
Additional work to be included in this Scope of Work(SOW)will provide for the analysis and
evaluation for the installation of a permanent flow meter in the short ouffall, for the analysis and
evaluation for the installation of a sampling port (stingers) in the Short Outfall pipeline, removal
and replacement of instrumentation and modifications to the high pressure air (HPA) supply at
Surge Tower No. 1. The SOW also includes drainage and landscape improvements of the
area bounded by OOBS pump station and along the east chain link fence line to the process
area (see Figure 3).

GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project will demolish and replace the final Effluent Sampler Building and the associated
final effluent sampler pumping system. Additionally, this project will remove the two (2)
adjacent unused buildings (storage building and Ocean Monitoring Trailer), and will provide for
drainage and landscaping improvements in the adjacent areas to the new Final Effluent
Sampler Building (see Figure 3). A temporary facility will need to be provided to house the
existing sampling equipment to continue the sampling of the final effluent while the existing
building is out of service for demolishing and replacement. In addition, a permanent flow meter
installation and a new connection port(stingers) and pumps will be designed for the Short
Outfall pipeline to allow flow metering and sampling of the plant effluent before discharge is
made into the ocean, in the event that the Short Ouffall is used. Furthermore, the Consultant
shall perform condition assessment of the various sections of the Short Ouffall and associated
pipeline in order to ensure reliable continuous operation of the Short Ocean Ouffall, prepare
construction documents, and provide bid support services, for all the recommendations from
the condition assessment studies and to correct surface drainage and landscaping
improvements of the areas shown on Figure 3. .

Return to Mende Report
Task 2.1 —Review of Existing information
Consultant shall review existing drawings (including projects J-15, J-15-1, J-15-13-2,
J-22-1, J-22-2, J-32, J-34 and P2-61), field investigations reports, corrosion
assessment reports, documentation of repairs and other related information to
thoroughly understand the project facilities and the existing corrosion concerns.
The following existing documentation is included in Exhibit 1:
• Division 740 Planning—Corrosion Group Surveys, 05/05/2010
Consultant shall research other ready available pertinent documentation as required
to gain additional project understanding and obtain the latest information and
current conditions of all the facilities included in this project. Consultant may
interview Operations staff and/or contractors and consultants who worked on past
investigations, or ongoing projects such as P2-66, J-112, J-117, and J-119.
Consultant shall review conditions in the field and familiarize themselves with
access into and around Plant 2, the work area, and the surrounding facilities.
General site safety requirements must be followed.
Consultant shall request additional drawings as required to use as base drawings
for the Inspection Plan, report exhibits, and the design drawings to complete the
work described in this Scope of Work(SOW).
Task 2.2—Facilities Inspection and Condition Assessment Documentation
Consultant shall prepare prior to the implementation of this Task a detailed
Inspection Plan that will be broken down by, and include detailed information for
each of the subtasks described below:
Task 2.2.1 Inspection Plan
Consultant shall prepare a detailed Inspection Plan that will include but not be
limited to: the shut down and isolation of COBS pumping and piping systems if
necessary; draining and dewatering of pipelines or structures; access points into
the pipe, cleaning, odor control; and other parameters as required to perform an
inspection of the interior of the pipes and/or other structures associated with the
Short Ocean Outfall pipeline (see Figure 2). The Plan must include sequencing
of isolation, shutdown, drain/pump out and inspection in order to perform the
work in a safe logical sequence that minimizes risks and facility downtime. Only
one shutdown of OOBS is anticipated for the entire inspection. For example,
facilities that require the longest pump down and/or preparation time may be
phased as the last inspected. Consultant shall consider the following topics, as
a minimum, in the Inspection Plan:
• Shutdown and lock-out tag-out(LOTO) procedures for OOBS previously
developed by the Sanitation District. Consultant shall use these procedures
and modify as required for this project.
07-13-2011 J-110 — Design SOW
Page 6 of 54
• Consultant shall be responsible for rehabilitation and placing of the existing
stoplogs/bulkheads to isolate and drain all pipelines and structures included
in this project, see Task 2.3.
• Consultant shall identify the location and size of ventilation equipment
required for the performance of the inspection activities.
• Consultant will be required to drain the pipelines between Junction Box JB-
A, the emergency overflow basin and the OOBS discharge header as
required to perform the inspection. Consultant shall be responsible for the
rehabilitation and installation of the existing bulkheads/stoplogs to isolate
and drain these pipelines, see Task 2.3. For the inspection of the pipeline
between the GOBS discharge header and Surge Tower No. 1, the entire
GOBS may need to be shut down and the butterfly valve BV#4 need to be
fully closed. Additionally, all the connecting pipes need to have the isolation
valves closed.
• It is anticipated that one or two portable trailer mounted pumps with their
own generators, sized with 6-inch or 8-inch pumps, will be required for the
majority of the draining. Additional portable generator driven sump pumps
and sand bags to define the sump areas will likely be required at various
locations during inspection to continue to drain nuisance water from leaks in
the bulkheads, pipe, and valves. Pumped out and drain water can be
disposed of into several manholes on the Sanitation District 5 and 6 trunk
line that is approximately parallel to the outfall, about 50 feet from the outfall.
• Access into any pipe or structure from the existing flanged connections may
require replacing of the nuts, bolts and gaskets, see Task 2.3. Consultant
shall inspect existing ports and determine if replacing the hardware is
required. A procedure used in the past is to remove half of nuts and bolts at
a time (every other nut and bolt)and replace them, and then replace the
remaining nuts and bolts. For each access port opened, a new gasket shall
be used and the seating surface properly cleaned for final closure.
• Upon draining, the interior of the pipes, and/or structures may have a
grease/slime layer that will make them very slippery and difficult to see the
material surface. The interior of these facilities must be properly cleaned
prior to inspection activities. Portable pressure washers were used
effectively in the past for this purpose. Consultant must coordinate the
source of water and power, connection points, and method/location to drain
the waste-wash water and debris from the area to be inspected with the
Sanitation District staff. Waste cleaning water can be disposed of into
several manholes on the Sanitation District 5 and 6 trunk pipelines. An
alternate method of cleaning may be proposed and described in the Plan if it
meets the project requirements. No chemicals for cleaning during
inspection, or cleaning and abrasive blasting (with gamet) materials during
inspection, shall be disposed of in the Sanitation District sewer. Contractor
is required to remove these materials and disposed of them appropriately.
07-13-2011 J-110 — Design SOW
Page 7 of 54
Return to Mende Report
• When removing access Flanges, couplings, or other equipment, spillage of
wastewater must be contained and not allowed to drain onto the ground.
The Consultant shall consider areas where containment of possible spills
may be required.
• Consultant shall confirm with Sanitation District staff that valves and gates
required for the inspection activities are in reliable working condition. If
valves have a history of leakage, Consultant shall plan for maintaining water
level in the pipes that will allow enough time for a thorough inspection.
• Consultant shall include details of inspection of the exterior of the pipe where
it is above ground.
• Consultant shall provide its own portable power equipment for use on the
project.
Task 2.2.2 Condition Assessment Plan
Consultant shall prepare an Assessment Plan to evaluate the condition of the
pipelines, structures and associated appurtenances (See Figure 2)of the Short
Ocean Outfall pipeline. Assessment procedures shall include visual inspections,
pit depth measurements, non-destructive thickness measurement and ultrasonic
(UT)testing, determining external and internal material loss, determination of
coating/lining failure, observation of infiltration/exfiltration, defective repairs and
welding, other mechanical or structural failures or wear. Calculations of existing
pipe yield strength shall be made, based on the material loss findings and/or pit
depth measurements. The Assessment Plan must include the means and
methods for assessing, rational for the type of assessment procedures selected,
and the frequency and/or increments where measurements are to be taken.
Detailed stationing or grid system labeling shall be used to determine the exact
locations of damages, repairs, etc. so that the locations can be easily found
during the rehabilitation/construction phase.
As a result of the limited damages found in the Short Outfall piping just
upstream of the Surge Tower No. 1 and the rehabilitation measures
implemented, the Sanitation District is particularly concerned that additional
structural rehabilitation may be necessary in this area. As such, Consultant
must pay particular attention to the scope of ultrasonic testing to be performed in
this area. Consultant may wish to consider discreet readings at close intervals
or continuous readings in order to collect sufficient data to identify reasonable
rehabilitation alternatives in this area.
Consultant is responsible for developing the final scope of UT testing necessary
to assess existing conditions and identify appropriate rehabilitation methods.
Consultant shall use UT testing equipment that can read through existing interior
coatings.
07-13-2011 J-110 — Design SOW
Page 8 of 54
Task 2.2.3 Confined Space Entry Procedures
Consultant shall determine confined space entry requirements for the various
Project Elements, structures, and/or pipe segments described in this SOW and
shall develop confined space entry procedures based on a supplied air system,
ventilation or other methods. Consultant shall document procedures; and
identify staffing and equipment requirements for permit and non-permit required
confined space entry.
The Sanitation District has prepared a number of confined space policies
including: SAFETY—POL-104 Confined Spaces, SAFETY-SOP-104.1
Confined Space Entry in the Collection System, and SAFETY-SP-104 Confined
Space Entry Programs. The Consultant must be familiar with and follow the
requirements in these policies. In addition, the Consultant must prepare and
submit to the Sanitation District for approval specific confined space entry
procedures for each confined space area that is to be entered.
Prior to inspection, the Consultant shall complete a Job Site Safety Analysis
(JSSA)and Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)form and submit them to the Sanitation
District for review and approval. The Sanitation District staff will meet with the
Consultant to go over the information provided in the forms. The JHA lists the
various safety plans that must accompany the form. As part of the Contingency
Planning Process, it is expected that the Consultant will be required to obtain a
Hot Work permit from the Sanitation District in case emergency work is
determined to be necessary during inspection. It is important to note that the
Consultant must provide its own rescue plan and team for the project.
Copies of SAFETY-POL-104 and the JSSA/JHA forms are included in Exhibit 2
for reference.
Task 2.2.4 Contingency Plan
Consultant shall develop a Contingency Plan to handle unforeseen conditions
during inspection that would have an impact on the operation of the facilities.
The Plan shall contain the following Sections, at a minimum:
• Section 1 -Background
Present the purpose of the project
• Section 2 -Project Elements
Describe the project elements
• Section 3- Inspection Activities

Return to Mende Report
• Section 4 - Inspection Related Contingencies
- Review the operation of GOBS, EPSA, outfalls and other plant pipelines
and processes that may be directly affected by the project scope with the
Sanitation District staff.
- Develop a list of potential unexpected conditions that could occur during
the inspection process (i.e., bulkheads or valves on outfall lines begin to
leak, isolation valves/gates fail to open or close, significant changes
observed in corrosion conditions since last inspection (new leaks),
problems getting COBS pumps back in service, severe pipe leakage
observed that requires immediate attention, need to get GOBS back on
line suddenly due to out of season rainfall events that require more
pumping capacity than EPSA can provide, EPSA failure, spill
containment/cleanup, etc.).
- Develop appropriate contingency measure for each situation. Such
measures could include such items as spare equipment, additional staff,
or leak containment. Levels of response are also a part of the plan. For
example, small leaks could be handled differently from high rate leaks.
- Present results in a Table format along with time frames for handling
problems.
- Consultant should build into the plan that, upon emergency notice,
COBS can be brought back on line within 24 hours.
- Includes Figures as necessary in Plan to support text and tables.
- Include Sanitation District's lockout/tagout and emergency procedures in
the plan as applicable.
- Meet with the Sanitation District staff throughout this process to receive
input.
- Consultant must allow the crane, used for installing/removal of the
bulkheads, to remain on site for the duration of the inspection, in case an
event occurs that requires the bulkheads/stoplogs to be removed quickly.
The Contingency Plan shall be submitted to the Sanitation District separately
from the Inspection Plan in accordance with schedule requirements. The
Sanitation District's comments shall be incorporated into a revised plan.

Page 15 of 54
Return to Aaenda Report
• Quality Level D: Information derived from existing records or oral
recollections.
• Quality Level C: Information obtained by surveying and plotting visible
above-ground utility features and by using professional judgment in
correlating this information to Quality Level D information.
• Quality Level B: Information obtained through the application of
appropriate surface geophysical methods to determine the existence and
approximate position of subsurface utilities. Quality Level B data shall be
reproducible by surface geophysics at any point of their depiction. This
information is surveyed to applicable tolerances and reduced onto plan
documents.
• Quality Level A: Precise horizontal and vertical location of utilities obtained

SUBJECT: SLUDGE DEWATERING AND ODOR CONTROL AT PLANT NO. 2,
PROJECT NO. P2-92
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Brown and Caldwell
to provide construction support services for Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control
at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-92, for an amount not to exceed $4,798,328; and
B. Approve a contingency of$479,833 (10%).
SUMMARY
The Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-92, will replace
dewatering facilities that have reached the end of their service life. Based on the Long
Range Biosolids Master Plan, a newer dewatering technology, centrifuges, will be
utilized to reduce biosolids disposal costs. The project will also incorporate odor control
improvements to contain and treat odors associated with dewatering and truck loading.
Brown and Caldwell designed the project.
Brown and Caldwell's engineering support services are needed through construction as
a continuation of services through the completion of the project. The proposed services
will be provided on an as-needed basis and will include reviewing submittals, answering
Contractor's requests for information, reviewing design changes, preparing record
drawings, and assisting in closeout of the project.
Staff negotiated with Brown and Caldwell for these support services in accordance with
the Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) adopted policies and
procedures. A review of the proposed price was conducted using estimated quantities
of requests for information, submittals, meetings, site visits, change order review, and
design revisions, as well as the level of effort to prepare record drawings. Based on this
review, staff determined the negotiated fee to be fair and reasonable for these services.
Staff recommends approving a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Brown
and Caldwell.

costs and understand that submitted costs are subject to Section 11 -AUDIT
PROVISIONS.
B. CONSULTANT may submit monthly or periodic statements requesting payment
for those items included in Section 2- COMPENSATION hereof in the format as
required by the SANITATION DISTRICT. Such requests shall be based upon the
amount and value of the work and services performed by CONSULTANT under
this Agreement and shall be prepared by CONSULTANT and accompanied by
such supporting data, including a detailed breakdown of all costs incurred and
project element work performed during the period covered by the statement, as
may be required by the SANITATION DISTRICT.

22. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at
CONSULTANT's sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the
SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect
and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION DISTRICT's
officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the "Indemnified
Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action,
suits, arbitration awards, losses,judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses
including without limitation, attorneys'fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other
professional, expert or consultants fees and costs and the SANITATION DISTRICT's
general and administrative expenses (individually, a "Claim", or collectively, "Claims")
which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or indirectly, to any work
performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in
carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the negligent,
recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents,
employees, CONSULTANT's suppliers, consultants, subconsultants, subcontractors,
and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any
contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from:
(A)the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B)a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(C)the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT's supplier, consultant, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor anyone
employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A)through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances
shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to
limit CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder.
The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the
parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without
limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654)that ambiguities are to be construed
against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
23. DUTY TO DEFEND
PCSA PROJECT NO.P2.92
Remed 060214 SLUDGE DEWATERING AND ODOR CONTROL AT PLANT NO.2
Page 15 of 18
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
24. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the SANITATION
DISTRICT and may be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
25. CLOSEOUT
When the SANITATION DISTRICT determines that all Work authorized under the
Agreement is fully complete and that the SANITATION DISTRICT requires no further
work from CONSULTANT, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall give the
Consultant written notice that the Agreement will be closed out. CONSULTANT shall
submit all outstanding billings, work submittals, deliverables, reports or similarly related
documents as required under the Agreement within thirty (30)days of receipt of notice of
Agreement closeout.
Upon receipt of CONSULTANT's submittals, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall
commence a closeout audit of the Agreement and will either:
i. Give the CONSULTANT a final Agreement Acceptance: or
ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be
furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT's cost.
CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any
administrative closeout efforts identified in this Agreement. Such support must be
provided within the timeframe requested by the SANITATION DISTRICT.

Notwithstanding the final Agreement Acceptance the CONSULTANT will not be relieved
of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its obligations to
complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not disclosed to
the SANITATION DISTRICT (regardless of whether such nondisclosures were
fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise); and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated under
all those provisions of the Agreement which expressly or by their nature extend beyond
and survive final Agreement Acceptance.
Any failure by the SANITATION DISTRICT to reject the work or to reject the
CONSULTANT's request for final Agreement Acceptance as set forth above shall not be
deemed to be acceptance of the work by the SANITATION DISTRICT for any purpose
nor imply acceptance of, or agreement with, the CONSULTANT's request for final
Agreement Acceptance.

Parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them pertaining to the subject
matter thereof.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT FOR AIR QUALITY
COMPLIANCE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Settlement Agreement with South Coast Air Quality Management District for
Supplemental Environmental Project or, in the alternative, a stipulated penalty of
$240,000.
SUMMARY
In 2008 and 2010, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) purchased
and began using two diesel combo-flush trucks for sewer line cleaning without first
obtaining approval of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
Under SCAQMD rules, approval was required to use a diesel truck within the air basin
instead of an alternative fuel vehicle. In lieu of a formal enforcement action (Notice of
Violation and stipulated civil penalties), SCAQMD has offered the Sanitation District a
Settlement Agreement proposing a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP).
The SEP states the Sanitation District will operate the existing hydrogen fueling station
located at the Plant No. 1 entrance for a one-year period beginning within 30 days after
notice from the SCAQMD that existing funding from the California Air Resources Board
and SCAQMD has been exhausted. Because the continued operation of the hydrogen
fueling station requires third party agreements, the Sanitation District may propose an
alternative SEP if the necessary agreements are not secured. If SCAQMD and the
Sanitation District cannot agree on an alternative SEP, then the Sanitation District would
be required to pay a stipulated penalty of$240,000.

Return to Aaenda Report
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between the South
Coast Air Quality Management District ("District' or "SCAQMD") and ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT ("OCSD") (collectively referred to as "Parties" or individually as
"Patty")
RECITALS
A. The District is a political subdivision of the State of California created by the
legislature to exercise responsibility for comprehensive air pollution control within Orange
County and designated portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, with
its headquarters located at 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California 91765-0940.
B. OCSD is a publicly owned wastewater treatment works, with administrative
offices located at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley, California 92708 ("Facility"), within the
District's jurisdiction and subject to the District's rules and regulations.
C. OCSD is subject to District Rule 1196 which requires public fleet operators to
acquire alternative-fuel heavy-duty vehicles when procuring or leasing these vehicles within the
District. A fleet operator may be permitted to purchase a diesel powered heavy-duty engine with
an approved control device, if they are able to demonstrate that one of the conditions specified in
section (e) of the rule exists. A technical infeasibility certification request must be submitted to
the District no less than 60 days prior to the purchase or lease of the vehicle.
D. The District alleges OCSD, in violation of Rule 1196, on February 7, 2008,
acquired and began to operate a diesel combo-flush truck (VIN 1HTWXSBT695175319) and
has operated the truck since October 20, 2008. OCSD acquired a second diesel combo-flush
truck(VIN #1HTWNAZT6BJ389709) on June 7,2010 and has operated the truck since February
7, 2011. OCSD continued to operate the two combo-flusb trucks to service sewer lines located
in OCSD's territory. OCSD never submitted a Technical Infeasibility Certification Request for
the operation of either vehicle.
E. SCAQMD was informed of the Rule 1196 violation on June 11, 2013. During a
meeting held at SCAQMD on this date, OCSD staff revealed that two diesel-powered trucks
were purchased around 2008 and 2009, subsequent to the Rule 1196 effective date.
F. OCSD maintains that an altemative-fueled or gasoline-powered engine/chassis/
body configuration that met the duty cycle of the combo-flush trucks was commercially
unavailable.
G. OCSD submitted a Technical Infeasibility Certification Request on July 9, 2014
to obtain approval of the acquisition of a new diesel 2014 model year combo-flush truck. This
truck replaced the existing diesel combo-flush truck (VIN 1HTWNAZT6BJ389709) that was
acquired on June 7, 2010.
Orange County Sanitation Districts - Settlement Agreement Page 1 of 5
Return to Mende Report
H. Upon review of the alleged violations, District staff concluded that rule compliant
vehicles were commercially unavailable at the time of vehicle acquisition of the diesel-powered
combo flush trucks. Therefore, OCSD would have received an approval to acquire the diesel-
powered combo flush trucks if a TICR was submitted prior to each vehicle acquisition,
demonstrating to the Executive Officer that rule compliant altemative-fueled or gasoline-
powered trucks were not commercially available as defined by the role.
I. No Notice of Violation was issued as the result of the violations described above.
The violations were self-reported by OCSD. A Notice of Violation is not a prerequisite to a
prosecution for a violation of District rules.
J. The alleged violations and matters which are the subject of this Agreement are
limited to the following specific alleged violations and items:
1. Violations of Rule 1196 for the purchase and operation of two diesel
powered vector trucks operated from February 7, 2008 and June 7, 2010,
respectively, through the date of execution of this Agreement without first
submitting a Technical Infeasibility Certification Request for prior
approval from the SCAQMD for the purchase of the two vehicles.
2. No other violations or civil penalties are resolved by this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or excuse OCSD's
duty to comply with its permits,plans, and with all applicable laws and
regulations with regard to its operation of the Facility.
The Parties enter into this Agreement with the intention of settling any civil penalties authorized
by California Health and Safety Code Section 42400, et seq., for violations of Rule 1196 for the
cited dates of violations on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENTS

("ARB") and SCAQMD has been exhausted. The SCAQMD shall provide notice
of the exhaustion of existing ARB and SCAQMD funding at least thirty(30) days
prior to the expected start date of operation by OCSD.
b. Operation of the hydrogen fueling station requires contractual agreements to be
made between OCSD, the fueling equipment owner (third-party), and the fuel
provider. If third-party agreements needed to operate the fueling station cannot
be reached by the time that SCAQMD provides the thirty (30) day notice in
section 2.a above, OCSD will provide an explanation of why the third-party
agreement could not be reached and shall propose to the South Coast Air Quality
Management District an alternative Supplemental Environmental Project within

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SLUDGE DIGESTER REHABILITATION AT PLANT NO. 1,
PROJECT NO. P1-100
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a budget increase of $4,355,000 for Sludge Digester Rehabilitation at
Plant No.1, Project No. P1-100, for a total budget amount of$62,892,000; and
B. Approve a contingency increase of$4,355,000 (13%)to the construction contract
with JR Filanc Construction Company for Sludge Digester Rehabilitation at Plant
No.1, Project No. P1-100, for a total contingency of$8,375,000 (25%).
SUMMARY
This project provides for the rehabilitation of Anaerobic Digesters and Digester Sludge
Holding Tank Nos. 5-16 at Plant No. 1 for the replacement of aging equipment, and
improvement of solids handling capacity. The project was designed by AECOM
Technical Services, Inc. and the construction contract was competitively bid and
awarded to JR Filanc Construction Company in February 2010.
Rehabilitation work includes cleaning, solids dewatering, transportation, and disposal of
sludge, residual sand, and grit from the existing digesters. Structural rehabilitation work
includes replacement or repair of existing liners for concrete domes, repair of concrete
reinforcement/cracks to digester walls and domes, and repair of existing PVC liner on
the ceiling and walls. Equipment rehabilitation includes sludge pumping, heating,
structural supports, mechanical systems, and electrical and control systems.
All work at Digesters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 has been substantially completed. The
remaining work in Digesters 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 involves significant unknown
condition risk in the volume of residual solids, concrete crack repair, and PVC liner
repair. These risks are generally classified as unknown conditions or changes in
quantities rather than errors and omissions. Much of the work will be performed at unit
rates established at the time of the original bid.
To cover any further unexpected field conditions or unknown conditions, staff has
determined that the contingency budget of 12% is inadequate to meet the projected
refurbishment needs of the facilities and allow the work to proceed without undue delay.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February, 2013 — Approved a contingency increase of $1,340,000 (4%) to the
construction contract with JR Filanc Construction Company for Sludge Digester
Rehabilitation at Plant No.1, Project No. P1-100, for a total contingency of $4,020,000
(12%).
February, 2010 — Awarded a construction contract to JR Filanc Construction Company
for Sludge Digester Rehabilitation at Plant No.1, Project No. P1-100, for an amount not
to exceed $33,500,000, and approved a contingency of$2,680,000 (8%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The P1-100 project includes rehabilitation of 12 digesters (Digesters 5-16) at Plant
No.1. These digesters were built between the years of 1959 and 1993, and were last
cleaned as indicated in the table below.

The project has incurred roughly $3,223,972 of additional costs that corresponds to
80% of the approved contingency.
There have been significant additional costs incurred on this project due to unknown
conditions of the concrete walls and domes inside Digesters 7 and 8, unknown condition
of the existing PVC liners on the ceiling and walls of Digester 13, repairs required for the
cable liner holes at Digesters 9 and 10, fixing leaks in the bottom of Digester 6,
completion of manway repairs in Digester 10, and miscellaneous structural, mechanical
and electrical changes. It is anticipated that a significant percentage of these unknown
conditions will be present in the remaining digesters that have yet to be rehabilitated.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that additional contingency is needed to complete the
cleaning and disposal of the residual material remaining in the digesters due to an
unexpected higher volume of material being encountered.
Page 2 of 3
Unknown conditions are a particularly large risk in digesters due to the harsh service
conditions and the expense to clean and assess the structures during design. The large
cost items generally have bid unit costs, but the quantities estimated in design were too
low, especially concrete repair, material deposition, and lining system damage. The
lessons learned in this project are being directly applied to the Plant No. 2 digestion
project that is ongoing in planning.
Rehabilitation work on the first pair of digesters (Digesters 7 and 8) started in
April 2010, and due to the poor condition of the existing concrete, additional work was
required to remove the existing liners, fix concrete cracks, and prepare the concrete
surface for a new polyurethane coating.
A budget increase is being requested to cover the additional estimated change orders to
complete the project.
CEQA
This project was included in the Secondary Treatment and Plant Improvement Project's
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) to the 1999 Strategic Plan Program
EIR prepared by Environmental Science Associates and certified on May 25, 2005. A
Notice of Determination was filed on May 26, 2005.
BUDGET/PURCHASING ORDINANCE COMPLIANCE
This request for increase in the project contingency complies with authority levels of the
Orange County Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been
budgeted (FY2014-15 and 2015-16, Section 8, Page 65), but the budget is insufficient
for the recommended action. These funds will be allocated to the project from the
Replacement, Rehabilitation, and Refurbishment line item in the cash flow projections,
FY2014-15 and 2015-16, Section 4, Page 16.

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
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.
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.
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
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.
