REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER:

03/09/16 Administration Committee Minutes Page 1 of 5
article referenced treatment facilities in Southern California, ocean dischargers, and
unpublished work by the EPA which OCSD has not seen the detailed reports and no
sampling and/or testing has shown this bacteria in OCSD's effluent.
General Manager Herberg further stated that the article seems to confuse the issue of
urban run-off after a rainstorm vs. treated discharge and he indicated that he had spoken
with the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and there is
interest in putting together a letter to the editor style response to the article.
General Manager Herberg responded to questions from the Committee regarding:
location of bacteria, specific testing; and epidemiological studies and tests of the ocean
and shoreline which continually achieve the required standards. Mr. Herberg further
indicated that OCSD is confident that the bacteria could not withstand the treatment of
that the Orange County Water District performs; rather, the matter seems to be related to
the ocean and treatment facilities.
Director Teresa Smith arrived at 5:04 p.m.

issuances; property values increases; new developments increase capacity
needs; and capital facilities capacity charges.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: PIPELINE CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND CLOSED CIRCUIT
TELEVISION (CCTV) DATA SOFTWARE AND RELATED SERVICES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a purchase order contract to Innovyze, Inc. for pipeline condition
assessment and CCTV data software and related services per Specification
No. S-2015-73513D, for an amount not to exceed $152,800;
B. Authorize the purchase of an annual maintenance contract with four (4) annual
renewals at $18,000 per year for a total of$72,000; and
C. Approve a contingency of $17,080 per renewal period for software and related
services for annual maintenance.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The existing pipeline assessment data management program was developed in-
house and has reached the end of its useful lifespan. Orange County Sanitation
District (OCSD) requires a replacement solution to effectively load, store, organize,
analyze, and edit digital sewer condition assessment data. The primary purposes of
the condition assessment program are to identify issues needing immediate repair or
maintenance, and to provide condition assessments in support of long-term capital
planning.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Data-driven asset intervention — Type, life data, inspections, costs, industry
standards
• Investment proposals and decisions based on clearly defined standards
PROBLEM
The existing pipeline assessment data management system has reached the end of
its useful lifespan preventing OCSD staff to load any new condition assessment
information into the existing system. The existing system cannot handle newer
assessment technologies.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Procure software and professional services to include:
• Implementation services including all personnel, equipment, and resources
necessary to supply, install and configure a Pipeline Assessment Data
Management Software System
• Integration with OCSD's Geographic Information System (GIS)
• Provide comprehensive training and support for the new software system.
TIMING CONCERNS
The existing system became obsolete in March 2015 because of its limited storage.
Deployment of a new solution is imperative to support maintenance initiatives and
long-term capital planning.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Increased risk to OCSD. Knowing and managing the structural conditions of assets
will allow OCSD to avoid emergencies, prioritize repair and replacement projects, and
plan for the future. Without a proper solution to manage condition assessment
information decreases the ability to make sound judgements regarding asset
management.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
SUBJECT: COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT WITH U.S. COMMUNITIES
GOVERNMENT PURCHASING ALLIANCE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Authorize purchases of information technology products, services, and solutions using
the County of Fairfax, Virginia contract number#4400006644 with Insight Public Sector
available through U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance, for the period
May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2019, for a total amount not to exceed $800,000, in
accordance with Ordinance OCSD47, Section 2.03(B) Cooperative Purchases.
SUMMARY
County of Fairfax, Virginia has awarded the contract for purchasing technology products,
services, solutions, and related products and services to Insight Public Sector under
contract #4400006644 per RFP2000001701 beginning May 1, 2016 through
April 30, 2019. This contract has been established by County of Fairfax, Virginia's
Department of Purchasing and Supply Management as the lead agency, with Insight
Public Sector as the primary provider of technology products needed to complete an
entire technology solution based on contract pricing, breadth of product offerings,
availability and the ease of using online ordering systems. Large capital items will be
procured through the bidding process.
BACKGROUND
In order to properly maintain and provide solutions to Orange County Sanitation
District's (Sanitation District) facilities, the Information Technology Division (IT) has
needs to purchase technology products, services, solutions, and related products and
services. Such item requirements have been forecasted based upon projected
obsolete equipment, historical product failure rates, and new items to address general
capacity, redundancy, or security. Since technology changes so frequently, it is not
appropriate to stock these items in the Sanitation District's warehouses.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
Ensure that the public's money is wisely spent
Page 1 of 3
PROBLEM
The procurement process on information technology items and services for a local
agency like the Sanitation District involves a lot of effort and associated costs. IT
needs to work diligently in finding ways to streamline the procurement process while
minimizing cost concomitant of the procurement of technology items.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The Sanitation District's purchasing power is limited therefore utilizing other large
agencies' cooperative agreement/s who have completed a vetted procurement
process is a viable and economical solution.
TIMING CONCERNS
Existing purchase order to procure technology items using U.S. Communities
Government Purchasing Alliance expires on April 30, 2016. Deployment of new
systems and solutions is imperative to support plant operations and maintenance
initiatives without delay.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Increased cost related to the procurement of technology items; increased risk of
being unable to or delay support plant operations and maintenance.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTION/S:
November 2014: Board Award Minute Order 11/19/2014, Item 9.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance is the leading national government
purchasing cooperative, providing government procurement resources and solutions to
local and state government agencies, school districts (K-12), higher education institutes,
and nonprofits looking for the best overall supplier government pricing. The program is
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.
U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance is a government purchasing
cooperative that reduces the cost of goods and services by aggregating the purchasing
power of public agencies nationwide. U.S. Communities has over 55,000 participating
agencies, from both the public and nonprofit sectors. The U.S. Communities Advisory
Board is made up of key government purchasing officials from across the United States.
The Advisory Board provides leadership and overall direction for the U.S. Communities
Government Purchasing Alliance. The State of California Procurement Division (PD) is
the central purchasing authority for all State departments and local government agencies.
Page 2 of 3
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 LPA's that the state offers to California governmental agencies
is the U.S. Communities Government Purchasing Alliance for technology products,
equipment and technology services, and solutions. The Sanitation District staff has
verified that pricing has been checked for competitiveness based upon volume pricing
through this cooperative.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Celia Chandler, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: CLASSIFICATION & COMPENSATION STUDY—VENDOR CHANGE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Award a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with Koff and Associates for
the compensation phase of the classification and compensation study,
Specification CS-2014-63013D, for a total amount not to exceed $65,040, with a
new total amount of phase one and two not to exceed of$126,929; and
B. Approve a contingency of$6,504 (10%).
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
The organization initiated its comprehensive classification and compensation study in
March 2015 for the purpose of updating its job classification specifications and
benchmark against other organizations' job structures and compensation for
employees in similar positions. Aside from the time lapse from the last study,
additional key business reasons for conducting a study at this time include changes
due to reorganization, the strategic plan, recruitment/retention considerations, and
labor relations.
A comprehensive classification and compensation (C&C)study will provide the Board
of Directors with updated data to meet the strategic initiative of organizational
efficiency and effectiveness, to include the establishment of an official pay policy to
manage labor costs.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Support ongoing workforce planning and workforce development efforts
• Comply with Article 29 Classification Studies of OCSD's Memoranda of
Understanding with represented employee groups
• Industry best practices recommend a study every five years for business relevance
and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA)
Page 1 of 3
PROBLEM
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) seeks authorization to proceed
with the compensation phase of the C&C Study. The original vendor selected for the
studies completed the classification phase, but will not conduct the compensation
phase.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award the compensation phase of the C & C Study to the vendor, Koff and Associates
that placed second in the procurement process.
TIMING CONCERNS
Koff and Associates placed second in the original procurement process for the current
C & C Study, which was conducted through the request for proposal (RFP) process,
Specification CS-2014-63013D. Koff and Associates has provided an updated project
proposal that supports the Sanitation District meeting the intended project timeline
with a comprehensive final report and a presentation to the Orange County Sanitation
District Board.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
By not awarding the remainder of the project to the second placed vendor (Koff and
Associates), the Sanitation District would initiate a competitive bid process for the
compensation phase of the study that would further delay the completion of the
project.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 2015: Board of Directors approved the list of 17 comparison agencies
selected by Sanitation District in collaboration with stakeholder groups and approved to
begin the next phase of the C & C Study, which includes a labor market survey.
February 2014: The Administration Committee authorized the General Manager to
advertise a request for proposal and subsequently award a Consultant Services
Agreement for an OCSD-wide C&C Study, for a total amount not to exceed $100,000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District advertised a request for proposal for comprehensive C & C Study
in August 2014. Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc. was the vendor selected for the project
at a proposed cost of $98,000. The classification phase of the project has been
completed by Gallagher Benefit Services for a total cost to date of $61,889. The
compensation phase for the project is still pending.
Page 2 of 3
Sanitation District management has identified a need to change vendors for the
compensation phase of Sanitation District's C & C Study due to concerns with the current
vendor's ability to meet the intended timeline, the quality of their work, and their
methodology with regard to the compensation phase of the study. The contract with the
existing vendor was canceled on March 25, 2016, as stipulated in the contract.
CEQA
N/A
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The cost for the project's compensation phase with Koff and Associates will not exceed
$72,000. The completed classification phase with Gallagher Benefit Services cost
$61,889. The total cost to complete the project will not exceed $133,889.
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted.

Mr. Richard Spencer
Human Resources Manager
Orange County Sanitation District
Dear Richard,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your request for a cost estimate for a Total Compensation
Study for the Orange County Sanitation District. We are most interested in assisting the District with this
important project and feel that we are uniquely qualified to provide value to the District based on our
experience with your agency over the years, as well as performing similar studies for other public
agencies throughout California regarding their compensation plans,structures, and philosophies.
As you know, Koff & Associates is an experienced Human Resources consulting firm that has been
providing classification and compensation consulting services to special districts,cities,counties, courts,
educational institutions, and other public agencies for thirty-two (32) years. Founded in 1984, the firm
is a woman-owned California small business corporation and has achieved a reputation for working
successfully with management, employees, and union representatives. We believe in a high level of
dialogue and input from study stakeholders and our proposal speaks to that level of effort. That extra
effort has resulted in close to 100% implementation of all of our compensation (and classification)
studies, including our recommendations for compensation (and classification) plan designs and
structures.
As CEO of our firm, I would assume the role of Project Director and be responsible for the successful
completion of the project. I can be reached at our Berkeley address and phone number listed below and
on the cover page; my email is gkrammer(@koffassociates.com.
This cost estimate will remain valid for ninety(90)days from the date of submittal.
Please call if you have any questions or wish additional information. We look forward to the opportunity
to provide professional services to the Orange County Sanitation District.
Sincerely yours,

IM Total Compensation Study - Cost Estimate
Orange County Sanitation District
Project Schedule
We understand that the District's goal is to complete the compensation study by the end of June and
present a report to the Board of Directors in July. We are also aware that the District is in the process of
finalizing new/updated classification descriptions and plans to complete this effort concurrently. To
allow the maximum amount of time for data collection and analysis,we suggest that the District initiate
the compensation study as soon as possible as our consultant staff could easily start the data collection
process while the District is finalizing class descriptions. There is a lot of data gathering,downloading of
documents from comparator agency websites, etc. that needs to occur, which can be accomplished
without reviewing class descriptions. This will put us in a good position to focus on data analysis only
once the class descriptions are final and can be sent to us for review and analysis.
The following is an estimated timeline, which ideally would start by the beginning of April in order to be
ready and prepared to present the study to the Board in July.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Director of Finance &Administrative Services
SUBJECT: DISASTER RECOVERY DATA CENTER FACILITY
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Authorize a sole source agreement with Switch (SUPERNAP) for a disaster
recovery data centerfacility beginning May 13, 2016 through May 12, 2019, for the
total amount of$140,000; and
B. Approve a contingency of$14,000 (10%).
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
In order to protect the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District)from data
loss in the event of disaster, the Information Technology (IT) Division has initiated
efforts to replicate the critical systems and data to a location which exists outside of
the natural disaster threat zone. To accomplish this goal, the Sanitation District must
obtain the use of a data center facility which provides space, power, cooling and
network capabilities with guarantees of security and reliability in the event of disaster
in Southern California. This location will be used to store copies of the Sanitation
District's critical systems and data. If a natural disaster were to occur which rendered
the systems at Plant 1 and Plant 2 unusable, the Sanitation District could begin
recovery procedures utilizing the systems and data maintained at this remote disaster
recovery data center.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
. Maintain a culture of improving efficiency
. 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
Currently the Sanitation District maintains no copies of data outside of Plant 1 and
Plant 2. Due to the close proximity of these locations, the Sanitation District is
currently at risk of complete data loss in the event of a local disaster.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
After researching and visiting various data centers, our recommendation is to move
forward with acquiring a service agreement with Switch (SUPERNAP) data center in
Las Vegas, NV. This facility is geographically favorable as it is removed from the
immediate disaster area of Plant 1 and Plant 2, but still close enough for Sanitation
District employees to effectively maintain a remote copy of critical systems without
enduring unnecessary travel time and expenses. Additionally, as a top-rated (Tier IV)
data center, the Sanitation District's data is guaranteed to be available in the event of
a disaster with regards to power, cooling, security and network capabilities.
Furthermore, this service will provide a limited amount of office space from which
select Sanitation District employees can work and access corporate data resources in
the event of a disaster. Finally, this data center currently services several other public
agencies, demonstrating superior reliability while providing these services at
competitive rates in comparison with other data centers examined. In consideration
of all of these factors, the data center is uniquely qualified to provide the Sanitation
District with services necessary to operate its disaster recovery data center. As the
Sanitation District is currently at risk of data loss were a disaster to occur, acquisition
of this service is an immediate priority and should not be placed through the Sanitation
District bidding process due to time constraints.
TIMING CONCERNS
Acquiring a disaster recovery data center should be accomplished as soon as possible
to mitigate the risk of data loss in the event of a disaster affecting both Plant 1 and
Plant 2.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Sanitation District will remain exposed to the risk of data loss in the event of
disaster if action is not taken.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This item has been budgeted in the established annual Joint Operating budget.

Exhibit "A"
SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
This Service Level Agreement is a part of the Colocation Facilities Agreement(the"Agreement")between Cusomer and Switch.Capitalized
terms not defined herein have the meaning provided in the Agreement.
I. Service Credits
Switch is pleased to offer Customer the following service levels regarding the following items:
• Network Availability
• Network Latency
• Packet Delivery
• Power Delivery
If Switch fails to meet any of these service levels,Switch will provide Customer with a service credit(a"Service Credit"),equal to the result
of dividing(i)the MRC paid by Customer for the affected service during the calendar month in which the Service Credit was earned by(ii)30
(the average number ofdays in a calendar month). "Network Access Fees"ave the fees charged to Customer for access to and use ofthe Switch
Network. "Switch Network" means the telecommunications/data communications network and network components owned,operated and
controlled by Swimb within the Premises. The Switch Network does not include any Customer Equipment or any networks or network
equipment not operated and controlled by Switch.
2. Switch Network Availability
Switch provides 99.99%availability ofthe Switch Network in any calendar month,m calculated from the ingress in and egress from the Switch
Network. For each cumulative horn or fraction thereof that Customer experiences Switch Network unavailability, Customer may request
Service Credits. A Network Service Credit will be given only for those outages that were reported to Switch at the time of the outage. An
outage is measured from the time it is reported to the time it is resolved.
3. Switch Network Latency
The Switch Network carries packets with an average Network Latency per month of less than 10 milliseconds. Switch monitors aggregate
latency within the Switch Network by monitoring round trip times between a sample ofbackbone hubs on an ongoing basis. "Network Latency'
(or hound trip time'j means the average time taken for an IP packet to make a round trip between specified backbone hubs on the Switch
Network.
After Customer notifies Switch of average Network Latency in excess of]0 milliseconds per month,Switch will use commercially reasonable
efforts to determine the source of such excess Network Latency and to correct such problem to the extent that the source ofthe problem is on
the Switch Network. If Switch fails to remedy such Network Latency on the Switch Network within 24 hours of being notified of any excess
Network Latency and the average Network Latency for the preceding month has exceeded 10 milliseconds,Switch will issue Service Credits
to Cusomer's account for each hour or fraction thereof from time of notification by Customer until the Network Latency is less than 10
milliseconds.
4. Switch Network Packet Delivery
The Switch Network has an average monthly Packet Loss of 0.1%(or successful delivery of 99.9%ofpackets). Switch moniors aggregate
Packet Loss within the Switch Network on an ongoing basis and compiles the collected data into a monthly average Packet Loss measurement
for the Switch Network. "Packet Loss"means the percentage of packets that are dropped within the Switch Network.
After being notified by Customer of Packet Loss in excess of 0.1% in a given calendar month ("Excess Packet Loss"), Switch will use
commercially reasonable efforts to determine the source of such Excess Packet Loss and to correct such problem to the extent that the source
of the problem ism the Switch Network. If Switch fails to remedy such Excess Packet Loss within 24 hours of being notified of any Excess
Packet Loss on the Switch Network and average Packet Loss for the preceding month exceeds 0.1%, Switch will issue Service Credits to
Customer's account for the period commencing at the time of receipt notification from Customer until the Packet Loss is less than 0.1%.

04292015 A-1
5. Power Service Availability
Switch is committed to providing 100%power availability if,and only if,Customer elects to properly deploy dual feed(A&B)power. Switch
strongly recommends dual power and monitor-ready ATS and PDU's be correctly deployed in every rack and cabinet to ensure 100%uptime.
Customer Equipment not properly utilizing A&B power will not receive Service Credits for power loss("Power Service Credits"). Customer
UPS's are not allowed to be used down-line from the Switch mission critical power system. Switch Operations most approve all power
distribution systems deployed within the Customer's Colocation Space. All equipment most first be tested on house power prior to plugging
into the Switch UPS receptacles. For each hour or fraction thereofthat Customer experiences both A&B power unavailability,Customer may
request Service Credits for the cabinets experiencing the power loss from Switch.
A Power Service Credit will be given only for those interruptions that were reported to Switch at the time ofthe interruption. If Customer only
has single-sided power,Customer will not receive Power Service Credits. Customer most perform fail-over testing procedures at least twice
each year to ensure all Customer Equipment will function properly in the urdikely event of a single sided power interruption. This is for the
Customer's protection. Failure to perform this testing could result in forfeiture of Power Service Credits.
6. Environmental Guarantee.
Switch guarantees the temperature and relative humidity in the cold aisle of the Colocation Space will be maintained within ASHRAE
thresholds,as measured by Switch,excluding events caused by Customer. Customer may request a Colocation Space Service Credit for each
15 minutes in which these environmental thresholds are exceeded.
7. Measured Bandwidth Service Billing Methodology.
The concept behind offering a usage based Internet product is simple:charge the customer for what they actually use. This product is ideal for
those customers that either experience substantial swings in monthly usage or are anticipating growth. When traffic patterns will be
unpredictable,the customer can have the security ofhaving enough bandwidth to handle heavy use months,but also retain the flexibility to pay
less when traffic declines.
Customer's monthly burstable usage is determined by calculating the 951^percentile of data usage that is used over and above Customer's
contracted floor amount. As is with most data, Internet traffic has peak times throughout the day. Actually, it has peak times within any
measurement interval whether it be a day,an hour,or five minutes. Billing on the 95"percentile eliminates the top 5%ofineamo ment peaks,
and bills on the Mb level at the remaining highest measurement The purpose for billing at the 95a percentile versus actual peak utilization is
to eliminate any abnormal peaks throughout the month.
Within the router,a counter that keeps track of all bytes passed through each interface,a PERIL script using SNMP will poll each applicable
Customer interface every five minutes. At every five minute pass,the code will read the counter and compare the result against the previous
reading. The difference between the two will be converted from byte counts to a data rate.Polling this data every five minutes results in 8640
data records per month. These records are then sorted from high to low usage and the top 5%are discarded. The remaining data rate is then
used to determine the billing level for the month. For example,out of 100 data points the top ten are:
100.......34.2 Mb 97_.........34.08 Mb 94..........33.91 Mb 91..........33.66 hob
99..........34.18 Mb 96...........34.02 Mb 93..........33.84 Mb
98_........34.11 h16 95 .........33.98 Mb 92..........33.70 Mb
Eliminating the top 5%leaves the data rate of 33.98Mb. This is the rate at which Switch will bill Customer for the month.
8. Conditions.
This SLA provides Customer's sole and exclusive remedies for any service interruptions,deficiencies or failures of any kind. The parties agree
that the Service Credits constitute liquidated damages. No Service Credits shall be issued for Exempted Occurrences. "Exempted Occurrence"
means any occurrence which impacts a service that is caused by: (i)any suspension of service pursuant to the Agreement;(ii)scheduled or
emergency maintenance,alteration or implementation;(in)home majeure events;(iv)theunavailability ofnecessary Customer Representatives,
including as a result of failure to provide Switch with accurate, current contact information; (v)the acts or omissions of Customer or any
Customer Representafive; or (vi)failure or malfunction of equipment, applications or systems not owned or controlled by Switch. All
performance measurements for the determination of Service Credits are based upon Switch's records.
The parties acknowledge and agree that Switch manages traffic on the Switch Network on the basis wits customers'utilization of the Switch
Network and that changes in such utilization impact Switch's ability to manage network traffic. Therefore,notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary herein or in the Agreement,if Customer significantly changes its utilization of the Switch Network and such change creates a
material and adverse effect on the traffic balance ofthe Switch Network,Switch may either modify the Service Credits that mayhave otherwise
accrued or modify Switch's provision ofthe affected services.
Customer most request any credit due hereunder within 60 days after the date on which the credit accrues. Customer waives any right to credits
not requested within this 60 day period. Customer will not be eligible to accrue any otherwise applicable Service Credits while Customer is:
(i)past due on MRC or other amounts owed under the Agreement or(it)in violation of an AUP. In no event shall Service Credits exceed 50%
of the MRC for the affected service(s)during the calendar month in which the Service Credits accrue.

SUBJECT: STATUS OF 2016-17 PROPERTY-LIABILITY INSURANCE RENEWALS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Historically, the Administration Committee has asked for status updates regarding
the renewals of major insurance policies each year. The Risk Management Division
and the Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) operational
insurance broker begin the process of renewal each January, and final quotes are
typically received in June, shortly before the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The Sanitation District budget provides funds for the renewal of the following five
major insurances for District operations:
1) Excess General Liability Insurance
2) Excess Workers' Compensation
3) All-Risk Property and Flood insurance
4) Boiler& Machinery insurance
5) Earthquake Insurance
The information in this report is supplemented by the insurance broker's update
report which is attached.

RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
None at this time because this is informational only. However, action must be taken
before June 30, 2016 or the Sanitation District's insurance will lapse.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
May 2015 — The Board approved renewal of the above four policies for the period
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1) Excess General Liability Insurance Program
The Sanitation District's Excess General Liability Insurance Program is currently
provided through the California Municipal Excess Liability Program (CAMEL) and its
sister program, the Alliant National Municipal Liability Program (ANML). The
Sanitation District has participated in the CAMEL program since FY 1996-97.
This program currently provides the Sanitation District with a $40 million policy of
comprehensive coverage for municipal liability, bodily injury and property damage,
and personal injury. The program was structured to also include Employment
Practices and Public Officials Errors & Omissions coverage. The $40 million
coverage has a self-insured deductible of $500,000. Since 1997, the Employment
Practices portion of coverage has been enhanced from a $2 million sub-limit to the
full policy limit.
The actual insurance coverage currently consists of three separate layers. The first
layer is the "Basic" $10 million program with self-insured retention of $500,000. The
second layer consists of $20 million of coverage in excess of the first layer of
$10 million. The third layer is $10 million of coverage in excess of the second layer.
The premium for 2015-16 for the three layers was $384,080.
2) Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance
The Excess Workers' Compensation insurance coverage is with the California State
Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC EIA). The Sanitation
District has participated in this program or its predecessor since 2003. Excess
Workers' Compensation Program currently provides so-called "Statutory" (unlimited)
coverage with a self-insured retention (SIR), or deductible, of $1,000,000. The
deductible was increased to $1,000,000 from $750,000 in 2015.
The use of Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance dates back to the late 1980's.
At that time, the Fiscal Policy Committee approved an SIR, or deductible, of
$250,000, for such coverage.
Page 2 of 4
Due to the hardening of the workers' compensation market, this deductible was
raised to $500,000 beginning in FY 2002-03 through a policy with Employers
Reinsurance Corporation (ERC) that provided coverage at the time of $25 million
with a self-insured retention (SIR), or deductible of$500,000.
Some additional risk may be associated with the CSAC EIA joint powers authority in
that a premium surcharge can be assessed to individual members if an unusually
large number of losses were to occur outside of the actuarial evaluation estimates.
However, historically the CSAC EIA premiums for excess workers compensation
have been so much less than competing quotes available to the Sanitation District
that even if there were a surcharge, the cost might still continue to be cheaper.
The renewal of the Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance for the period
July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 was at an estimated premium of $195,000
based on the estimated 2015-16 payroll. Since the premium itself is based on final
payroll, the Sanitation District will not know the exact final premium until the year is
over.
3) All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance
The All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance Program (Property Insurance) provides
for comprehensive coverage for much of the Sanitation District's real and personal
property regarding virtually all perils including fire, flood, and business interruption.
Current Property Insurance limits are $1 billion for most perils other than flood and
earthquakes, and $300 million for flood, with many sub-limits for various situations.
In order to reach $1 billion in limits, the broker had to arrange for more than a dozen
different insurers. The SIR is $250,000 per occurrence for most types of losses.
Since the late 1990's, the Property Insurance has been with a nationwide joint
purchase property insurance program called Public Entity Property Insurance
Program (PEPIP), one of the world's largest property programs. It is important to
note that this joint purchase property insurance program offers the purchasing power
of numerous large public entities without the pooling or sharing of coverage or
losses.
The renewal of All-Risk Property and Flood Insurance (excluding Boiler &
Machinery) for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 was at a premium of
$662,539.10.
4) Boiler & Machinery Insurance
The Boiler & Machinery insurance program provides comprehensive coverage for
loss caused by machinery breakdown and explosion of steam boilers or other
covered process equipment, including damage to the equipment itself and damage
to other property caused by covered accident.
Page 3 of 4
The current Boiler & Machinery insurance program provides coverage ($100 million
per occurrence with deductibles ranging from $25,000 to $350,000) for losses
caused by covered machinery breakdown (e.g., motors, steam turbines, digesters,
co-gen engines). Damages to the equipment, as well as damages to other property
and improvements caused by the machinery breakdown, are covered by the boiler &
machinery insurance. This program augments the Sanitation District's all-risk
property insurance that covers perils such as fire and flood.
The renewal of the Boiler & Machinery Insurance Program for the period
July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 was at $23,667.
5) Earthquake Insurance
The Sanitation District previously carried earthquake insurance as part of its
Property Insurance, but in the last 15 years earthquake insurance was impossible to
obtain or not cost-effective. The Sanitation District asked its insurance broker each
year to survey the market to see if rates have changed. Finally, in 2015 a plan was
created to insure seven key District structures identified by Engineering, thus
keeping the cost in line. The insurance has a high deductible and a limit of $25
million in total.
The cost of the Earthquake Insurance for 2015-16 is $80,471.23.

2016-2017 Insurance Renewal Budgeting
Dear Randy:
We are midstream in the 2016 renewal process with discussions occurring with OCSD's
insurance carriers and other markets for the forthcoming coverage year. While it is too early to
have exact renewal costs, we can say that outside of the workers' compensation arena, which we
discuss below, the insurance market is trending favorably. Therefore, aside from any market
shocks, or significant changes in OCSD's operations, we feel comfortable with the following
cost projections:

What is most noticeable in the table above is the increase projected, for the Excess Workers
Compensation coverage. As you are aware, the District participates in the California State
Association of Counties Excess Insurance Authority. The Authority (or EIA) releases a series of
premium estimates throughout pre-renewal cycle. Initial figures are always presented in a range,
which from their previously distributed December 2015 notice, was a range of $217,000 to
$242,000. We have subsequently received the March update where the EIA is projecting a cost
at the bottom end of that range at $218,000. Further, as we have done in the past, we plan to
shop the District's excess workers compensation program in the open market to develop
alternative options.
The property and excess liability markets remain stable with little in the way of rate change
anticipated. On the property, the District's values show an increase of 3% over the prior period
resulting from a recent trending process. We can discuss this if this is a matter of concern. Our
team is working now to assure that this figure is most accurate.
On General Liability,we are projecting a 5% increase simply as a conservative measure. We are
hopeful the market will remain favorable. Of note, last year, the District reviewed three options
for adjusting the Self Insured Retentions (SIR) on the program. We are happy to present such
options again if need be.
On a very positive note, the Earthquake market remains aggressive, and we are cautiously
optimistic that a decrease may be achieved. Again however, we want to err to the conservative,
so would ask you to budget"flat" for this coverage. If the District is pleased with the coverage,
this could be a good time to consider expanding the program to cover more key locations.
As always, we look forward to discussing the programs and the renewal strategy in more detail
with you, and appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the District.

(in millions unless otherwise noted)
Projected Proposed Proposed
2015-16 2016-17 2017-18
1) SALARIES AND WAGES $63.1 $66.8 $67.6
1a) Salaries $59.2 $62.7 $63.4
Salaries for 627 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are shown for the FY 2016-17 and
FY 2017-18 proposed budgets and 624 FTE's for the FY 2015-16 projected budget.
Salary increases have only been included per existing bargaining agreements. The
Vacancy Factor is projected at five percent based on the volume of recent and near-
future retirements, and the time it will take to become fully staffed.
1 b) Leave Payoffs $ 2.5 $ 2.6 $ 2.7
Leave Payoffs for retirements are anticipated to remain relatively constant for the next
two years.
1c) Overtime $ 1.4 $ 1.5 $ 1.5
Overtime has remained constant at approximately $1.5 million over the last several
years. Of this total, approximately $1.3 million is budgeted in Operations and
Maintenance primarily for required overtime as the plants are in operation 2417
(vacation, sick, shift overlap), emergencies, unscheduled maintenance, backlog and off-
shift construction support. The remaining $200,000 is budgeted in other divisions and
also has remained essentially flat.
2) BENEFITS $26.8 $22.5 $23.0
2a) Retirement $15.5 $11.0 $11.1
District employees are members of the Orange County Employees' Retirement System
(OCERS). As a result of paying down the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL),
the employer's required contribution rate has decreased from 20.75 percent (FY 2015-
16) to 13.16 percent (FY 2016-17).
2b) Group Insurance $ 9.2 $ 9.7 $ 10.2
Includes Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Medicare, Disability.
2c) Benefits, Other $ 2.1 $ 1.8 $ 1.7
Includes Workers' Compensation, Tuition Reimbursement, Development Pay and
Uniform Rental. Workers' Compensation ($1.2 million in FY 2016-17 and $1.1 million in
FY 2017-18) is used to maintain the level of accumulated reserves within the Workers'
Compensation self-insurance funds. The Development Pay Program ($300,000) is
intended to promote employee efforts that increase job knowledge, skills, and abilities.

2016-17 AND 2017-18 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT - ADDITIONAL DETAIL
(in millions unless otherwise noted)
Projected Proposed Proposed
2015-16 2016-17 2017-18
3) OPERATING MAT'LS & SUPPLIES $16.4 $16.7 $17.4
3a) Chemical Coagulants $ 6.0 $ 5.1 $ 5.4
Anionic Polymer - Anionic polymer is added to the primary clarifiers in combination
with ferric chloride to enhance primary clarifier performance. The projected budget for
FY 2016-17 is $387,000 with FY2017-18 increasing to $398,000 due to an anticipated
unit rate increase.
Cationic Polymer - Cationic polymer is added to digested sludge prior to dewatering
in order to improve the sludge and water separation process. Cationic polymer is also
added to the waste activated sludge dissolved air flotation thickeners (DAFTs) to
improve solid(s) coagulation. Costs have increased at Plant No. 1 due to the use of
emulsion polymer, which is more expensive than mannich polymer but provides an
improved percent of cake solids. The projected cationic polymer budgets are
$2,010,000 for FY 2016-17 and $2,160,000 for FY 2017-18.
Ferric Chloride - Ferric chloride is an iron salt which is currently used to increase the
solids removal efficiencies in the primary treatment process and to control digester
hydrogen sulfide. As the amount of ferric chloride is optimized in primary treatment,
additional amounts of ferric chloride are added to the digesters to control hydrogen
sulfide. The projected ferric chloride budget for FY 2016-17 is $2,730,000, a decrease
of $988,000 from the FY 2015-16 projected expense due to new pricing agreements.
No change in the budget is anticipated for FY 2017-18.
3b) Odor Control $ 7.5 $ 8.2 $ 8.7
Hydrogen Peroxide - Hydrogen peroxide is used in the foul air scrubbers to control
hydrogen sulfide and in the trunk sewers for control of sulfides. The projected budget is
$1,200,000 for FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18.
Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda)-Caustic soda is used in the foul air scrubbers and
in the District's main trunk lines tributary to the treatment plants. The projected budgets
for caustic soda for FY 2016-17 is $969,000 and $960,000 in FY 2017-18.
Muriatic Acid - Muriatic Acid (hydrochloric Acid) is used to backwash the media in the
foul air scrubbers, associated piping, and pumps. This cleans deposits caused by hard
water, sulfides from the reaction with the foul air, and caustic soda used in the scrubbing
process. The projected budget for FY 2016-17 is $36,000.
Magnesium Hydroxide, Trunklines - Magnesium hydroxide reduces the formation of
hydrogen sulfide which causes odor and corrosion. Contract services include supply,
operational monitoring, sampling, reporting and on-going maintenance services for odor

control chemical dosing systems within the wastewater collection and conveyance
system.
The projected budget for FY 2016-17 is $2,046,000, an increase of $546,000 from the
FY 2015-16 projected expense. The increase is due to a slight unit price increase and
expanding the program to the Main Street Pump Station resulting from the removal of
IRWD injection points that use ferrous chloride. The projected budget of$2,079,000 for
FY 2017-18 also reflects a slight unit cost increase.
Ferrous Chloride, Trunklines — Ferrous Chloride is used in the trunks to reduce
hydrogen sulfide generation. This contract provides supply, operational monitoring,
sampling, reporting and on-going maintenance services for odor control chemical dosing
systems within the wastewater collection and conveyance system. In FY 2016-17, the
projected budget is $2,793,000, a decrease of$257,000 from the FY 2015-16 projected
expense due to the removal of IRWD injection points using ferrous chloride. In
FY 2017-18, the projected budget increases to $3,321,000 due to the planned addition
of a new dosing site on the Euclid trunk sewer.
Calcium Nitrate, Trunklines — Calcium nitrate is a biological approach to controlling
odors in wastewater. It provides the naturally occurring bacteria with an alternate source
of oxygen which, when metabolized, produces nitrogen gas as a byproduct rather than
the sulfides produced by the naturally occurring sources of oxygen. The projected
budget for FY 2016-17 is $853,000. The FY 2017-18 proposed usage will be the same
as the current year. The increase in budgeted cost to $867,000 results from an
estimated two percent unit rate increase.
Bleach,Treatment Plant Odor Control—The projected total cost of odor control bleach
is $260,000 for FY 2016-17 with no change anticipated for FY 2017-18.
3c) Disinfection $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2
Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) — With the cessation of the disinfection of water
discharged to the ocean, the remaining treatment plant bleach usage is for the
disinfection of plant water and odor control. It is anticipated that the District treatment
plant bleach budgets will be $167,000 in FY 2016-17 and $177,000 in FY 2017-18.
Sodium Bisulfite — Sodium bisulfite is used for dechlorination of outfall effluent at Plant
No. 2, if required, to ensure that no residual chlorine is discharged into the ocean. The
sodium bisulfite budgets are $4,000 in FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18.
3d) Tools and Safety Equipment/Tools $ 0.9 $ 1.3 $ 1.1
O&M and Safety use 93 percent of these budgets. There has been an increase in these
budgets since the definition of capital equipment has changed; tools and equipment that
cost less than $5,000 are not considered to be capital. Personal Protective Equipment

requirements have increased, and there are different tools needed to maintain the new
facilities.
3e) Laboratory Chemicals and Supplies $ 0.6 $ 0.6 $ 0.6
Approximately 90 percent of this budget supports the Environmental Sciences
Laboratory purchases of glassware, filtration supplies, solvents used for organic
extractions, acids and bases used in metals digestion and glassware cleaning, reagents,
a variety of standards used in quality assurance of the tests, specialty gases,
microbiology supplies and growth media, chromatography columns, test organisms for
bioassay, toxicity, and various other laboratory supplies.
3f) Gas, Diesel and Oil $ 0.6 $ 0.6 $ 0.6
Vehicle and vessel gasoline and diesel fuel, compressed natural gas, diesel and oil used
in the operation of the mobile equipment, within generators and other operating
equipment are included in these budgets. The future price of gasoline and natural gas
are the major impacts to these budgets.
3g) Other $ 0.6 $ 0.7 $ 0.8
Other smaller operating expenses collectively reported within this one line item such as
chemicals for CoGen operations, janitorial supplies and miscellaneous operating
supplies.
4) CONTRACTUAL SERVICES $23.5 $24.8 $22.6
4a) Solids Removal $17.9 $17.2 $14.0
Biosolids — OCSD's has benefitted from low diesel prices as fuel surcharges remain
low, keeping program costs within budget despite an increase in solids production. The
total cost for FY 2016-17 is projected to decrease from FY 2015-16 by 3.7 percent to
$17,206,000 due to the anticipated mid-year price reduction after the rebidding of a
contract for solids management. The cost is projected to decrease another
18.9 percent in FY 2017-18 to $13,950,000 due to the sludge dewatering and odor
control facilities coming online at Plant No. 1 in 2017.
4b) Other Residual Solids and Waste $ 0.8 $ 0.9 $ 0.9
The other residual solids and waste category includes disposal costs for grit and
screening waste, digester cleaning waste, and hazardous materials. The Grit and
Screening budget includes supplying bins to collect then haul and dispose of grit,
screenings, and drying bed material to a landfill. The grit is generated from the grit
chambers, and the screenings is the material collected off the bar screens. Drying bed
material is typically made up of the material cleaned out of pipes in the collection system
by District's crews and other city crews in the District's service area.

2015-16 2016-17 2017-18
4c) Grounds keeping/Janitorial/Security $ 1.1 $ 1.1 $ 1.2
The Security Services budget is projected to increase from the FY 2015-16 projected
total of $410,000 to $660,000 in FY 2016-17, a $191,000 or 61 percent increase, in
order to increase roving patrol and additional guards to monitor all video cameras 24/7
based upon security audit recommendation. The Security Service budget is proposed
to increase an additional nine percent to $720,000 in FY 2017-18. The increases in
Security Services is largely offset by the 27 percent decrease in the Groundskeeping
and Janitorial Service budgets due to reductions in contract prices.
4d) County Service Fee $ 0.7 $ 0.7 $ 0.7
The County Service Fee is the fee charged by the County of Orange for the inclusion of
the District's sanitation fees on the County of Orange Property Tax Bill and for the
collection of these fees by the County on behalf of the District.
4e) Oxygen Plant Operations $ 0.4 $ 0.4 $ 0.4
The oxygen plant has been decommissioned. Increases in costs in FY 2016-17 and FY
2017-18 for pure oxygen include anticipated rate increases.
4f) Temporary Services $ 0.5 $ 0.8 $ 1.1
In addition to the temporary services used to fill in for long-term leaves and position
vacancies, an increase is proposed in FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 to provide additional
support for the Civil Assets Maintenance Program (CAMP).
4g) Outside Lab Services $ 0.2 $ 0.3 $ 0.3
The District contracts out certain laboratory services that are not cost-efficient to perform
in-house. Examples include air quality analyses, oil analyses for transformers and
internal combustion engines, contaminants of potential concern, and hi-resolution mass
spectroscopy. Contracted biosolids testing meets the State of Arizona requirement for
analyses to be performed in an Arizona certified laboratory.
4h) Contracted Services, Other $ 1.9 $ 3.4 $ 4.0
Over 95 percent of contracted services are in support of operating and maintaining the
collection system and the treatment plants. Collection system services include line
cleaning ($304K), closed circuit television of lines ($500K), manhole frame and cover
rehabilitation and replacement ($367K), manhole structural repair and coating ($265K),
sewer repair and relining ($122K), root and pest control ($82K), and traffic control
($60K). Treatment plant services include CAMP-related support services for asset
assessment ($350K), industrial cleaning ($426) and coatings ($200K), as well as

5) REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE $ 13.4 $ 14.2 $ 16.1
5a) Materials & Services $ 10.9 $ 11.4 $ 12.6
Approximately 97 percent of these budgets support the maintenance of the collection
system and treatment plants. O&M contracted materials and services for FY 2016-17
include: Central Generation engine overhaul ($1.31M),digester cleaning ($1.31M); carbon
media replacement ($463k); belt press overhaul ($200k); electrical protective relay
maintenance ($250k); interplant line inspection and maintenance ($186K); emergency
generator maintenance ($150K); and other maintenance services and operating
materials, including street overlays/manhole cover raisings and replacements, and
warehouse stock. The increases following FY 2015-16 are attributed to items previously
deferred that are now being addressed in FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18.
The budget for basic scheduled, predictive, and preventive maintenance and emergency
maintenance are included in these budgets which are proposed based on historical
experience and cost trends.
5b) Service Agreements $ 2.5 $ 2.8 $ 3.5
Over 94 percent of service contracts are computer-related or 0&M maintenance-related.
Major contracts for Information Technology include JDE-Primavera-Oracle support

Electricity — The treatment plants and support buildings estimated consumption and
resulting costs for electrical energy purchased from Southern California Edison for the
FY 2016-17 are $6,144,000 and the pump stations budget for the same period is
$610,000. Other support buildings power costs are $570,000, completing the total
estimated power costs for FY 2016-17. The increase in FY 2017-18 is due to increased
power usage associated with the sludge dewatering and odor control facilities
anticipated to be operational in March 2017.

6b) Water $ 0.6 $ 0.7 $ 0.7
Potable Water— The potable water budget includes the water supplied by the City of
Fountain Valley for Plant No. 1 and the City of Huntington Beach for Plant No. 2. The
majority of the water is used for process functions (e.g., chemical mixing) and domestic
uses. The projected total potable water cost for FY 2016-17 is $646,000.
Green Acres Project (GAP) Water — GAP water is made up of secondary treated
effluent from the District that is further treated by the Orange County Water District
(OCWD). As provided in OCSD's agreement with the OCWD, OCSD receives up to
1,120 acre feet of GAP water annually at no charge. The major uses of GAP water
include cooling water, solids handling, and landscaping. The proposed budgets for
FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 are $5,000 per year to provide for some minimal use
beyond the 1,120 acre feet allotment.
6c) Natural Gas $ 0.5 $ 0.5 $ 0.6
Natural Gas — The total FY 2016-17 natural gas estimate is $519,000, slightly higher
than the FY 2015-16 projected. The higher budget estimate for FY 2017-18 reflects an
anticipated higher unit cost for gas. The natural gas used for Central Generation is
purchased from a gas marketer, currently Constellation Energy, and transported through
The Gas Company conveyance system at stipulated cost of$0.12/therm.
The "core subscription" is natural gas purchased directly from The Gas Company and
used mainly for building heating and supplemental process heating. The Core gas at
Plant 2 has decreased considerably with the return of the auxiliary boilers from natural
gas to digester gas. The previous switch to natural gas had been made to provide more
digester gas to CenGen to support two engines and still comply with the AQMD limits
for use of natural gas.
6d) Telephone $ 0.4 $ 0.4 $ 0.4

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.
