Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: PLANT NO. 2 TRICKLING FILTER INFLUENT (FEED) PUMP REPAIRS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to Vaughan's Industrial Repair Co., Inc for
the repair and reinstallation of six influent pumps at the Plant No. 2 Trickling Filter
Pump Station, for a total amount not to exceed $631,010; and
B. Approve a contingency of$126,202 (20%).
BACKGROUND
The trickling filter process is one of two secondary treatment processes at the Orange
County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Plant No. 2 that remove suspended and
dissolved organic material using microorganisms, enabling the Sanitation District to meet
ocean discharge permit limits. The other secondary treatment process is pure oxygen
activated sludge. The trickling filter process consists of three trickling filters: A, B, and C;
each containing two influent pumps at the trickling filter pump station. The purpose of
these pumps is to provide essential supply of influent for the trickling filter treatment
process. The six pumps were installed as part of Project No. P2-90, Trickling Filters at
Plant No. 2, and have been in service since 2012. These pumps have been in service
for approximately seven years.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting
PROBLEM
The influent pumps were experiencing reduced pumping efficiency with two of six pumps
out of service. One of the influent pumps was removed for evaluation. The evaluation
concluded that this pump had developed a problem with seal water flow due to severe
corrosion in the seal water supply tube. Seal water is clean water used to protect pump
bearings by flushing processed fluid debris away from the bearing surfaces. Corrosion in
the seal water supply tube prevents the free flow of seal water, resulting in reduced
Page 1 of 3
pumping efficiency which eventually leads to premature pump failure. It was determined
that this pump needs to be rebuilt with higher-grade stainless-steel components in order
to minimize future corrosion.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Rebuild all six influent pumps, one at a time, at the Plant No. 2 Trickling Filter Pump
Station through Vaughan's Industrial Repair Co., Inc. (VIRC), who is the sole authorized
service center for these types of pumps.
TIMING CONCERNS
The trickling filter pump station is critical to the secondary treatment process. With only
four out of six pumps available, the trickling filter pump station does not have the required
redundancy to support the secondary treatment process, especially during high flow
situations. The proposed repairs to at least two pumps would need to be completed prior
to the next wet weather season.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure to repair the trickling filter pumps would result in the reduction of secondary
treatment capacity. Additional pump failures would severely handicap the ability for the
trickling filter pump station to provide the required influent to the trickling filter treatment
process, with the possibility of partially treated primary effluent spilling into the ocean.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A contingency of 20% is requested to cover additional costs for labor and materials should
further damage be discovered once the influent pumps have been removed. The quote
was based on the evaluation of one pump. It is assumed that the same work would be
required for the remaining pumps.
CEQA
The repair and replacement of the Trickling Filter Pump Station influent pumps is
categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in
California Code of Regulations Section 15301. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from
CEQA "the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use,'
including"(b)Existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide
electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services".

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This recommendation would be funded under the Repairs and Maintenance
line item for Division 880 (Fiscal Years FY 2018-19 and 2019-20 Budget, Section 6, Page
100), and the available funding is sufficient for this action.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: RENEWAL AGREEMENT FOR LIQUID OXYGEN PURCHASE AND
ASSOCIATED VAPORIZATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
SPECIFICATION NO. C-2018-926BD
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Amendment No. 1 for a unit price increase of $0.0535 per centum cubic
feet (22.8%) to the chemical supplier agreement with Airgas USA, LLC for the
purchase of liquid oxygen, Specification No. C-2018-92613D, for the period
beginning August 21, 2019 through August 20, 2020 for a unit price of$0.288 per
centum cubic feet delivered, plus applicable sales tax, for a total estimated annual
amount of$496,512; and
B. Authorize unit price adjustment of up to 15% annually using mutually acceptable
price indices for subsequent agreement renewal periods.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) previous bid solicitation in
2018 for liquid oxygen received three bids. The lowest bidder was Airgas USA, LLC
(Airgas)with a unit price of$0.2345 per centum cubic feet(ccf). The second lowest bidder
was Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. with a unit price of$0.40 per ccf. Subsequently, in
June 2018, the Sanitation District's Board of Directors awarded an agreement to Airgas
USA, LLC for the purchase of liquid oxygen for a unit price of$0.2345 per ccf delivered,
plus applicable sales tax, for a total estimated amount of$404,278.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
• Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current
service level or standard
PROBLEM
The current liquid oxygen agreement expires on August 20, 2019. The previous Board
action authorized four potential renewals. The vendor, Airgas, has expressed a
willingness to renew the agreement at a higher unit cost. Airgas proposes a $0.0535
(22.8%) increase to $0.288 per ccf. This increase is primarily driven by high costs due to
energy, transportation, and tariffs.
Page 1 d 3
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends approval of the unit price increase to ensure that the supply and
delivery of liquid oxygen is not disrupted. The new proposed price of $0.288 per ccf is
28% less than the $0.40 per ccf bid from the next lowest bidder in 2018.
TIMING CONCERNS
The Sanitation District requires a contract to be in place before the existing agreement
expires on August 20, 2019. Liquid oxygen is necessary for the normal operation of the
Activated Sludge process at Plant No. 2.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If the new vendor is not in place before the existing agreement expiration date,the service
and supply of liquid oxygen would discontinue, and the Sanitation District would not be
able to provide effective secondary treatment at Plant No. 2.
Spot market purchases while rebidding this purchase will be more expensive and carry
greater risk of disruption.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2018 - Awarded a Chemical Supplier Agreement to Airgas USA, LLC for the
purchase of liquid oxygen, Specification No. C-2018-92613D, for the period beginning
August 21, 2018 through August 20, 2019 for a unit price of $0.2345 per ccf delivered,
plus applicable sales tax, for a total estimated annual amount of $404,278, with four (4)
one-year renewal options; authorized the General Manager to approve price adjustments
based upon indices from Southern California Edison's Rate Time of Use (TOU)-8 Base
Interruptible Program (BIP) and Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment Cost Index for
subsequent agreement periods; and authorized services related to routine and
emergency maintenance of the Sanitation District's liquid oxygen storage and
vaporization equipment for the period beginning August 21, 2018 through
August 20, 2019 a total estimated annual amount of $20,000; with four (4) one-year
renewal options.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: HEADWORKS REHABILITATION AND EXPANSION AT PLANT NO. 1,
PROJECT NO. P1-105
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Consider, receive, and file the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Headworks Rehabilitation and
Expansion at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105, prepared by Carollo and
Environmental Science Associates; and
B. Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 19-07, entitled: "A Resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District adopting the Mitigated Negative
Declaration for the Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant No. 1, Project
No. P1-105, adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and
approving the Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant No. 1, Project
No. P1-105."
BACKGROUND
The headworks of a wastewater treatment plant is where all incoming sewers converge
through a series of pipes, meters, flow diversions, and gates. Orange County Sanitation
District's (Sanitation District) Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant No. 1,
Project No. P1-105, includes demolition of existing facilities, construction of new facilities,
and rehabilitation of existing facilities for influent flow diversions, metering, preliminary
treatment, and water-in/water-out pumping of wastewater through Plant No. 1. It is
anticipated that the construction phase of this project will take approximately seven years
to complete.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Listen to and seriously consider community input on environmental concerns
• Meet CEQA and NEPA standards
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting
PROBLEM
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires public agencies to participate
in an environmental review process for all projects that are defined as a discretionary
Page 1 of 3
action with potential physical effects on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA, a Mitigated
Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared based on the finding from the Initial Study.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Adopt Resolution No. OCSD 19-07 which will certify the attached MND.
TIMING CONCERNS
The Sanitation District may not commit to construction of the project until the CEQA
process has been completed. Without certifying the CEQA documentation, the South
Coast Air Quality Management District will not review the permit to construct/operate.
This will cause additional delays thatwill ultimately impact advertisement and construction
dates.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The project may not proceed into construction without completion of the environment
process.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District received comments from regulatory agencies including State
Clearinghouse, Federal Emergency Management Agency, California Department of
Transportation, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Gabrieleno Band of Mission
Indians, Orange County Public Works, City of Irvine, and City of Fountain Valley. The
Public Agencies acknowledged the receipt of the Draft MND and required the Sanitation
District to comply with their agencies' provisions. The Sanitation District evaluated all
environmental comments, provided written responses to each comment where
necessary, and included the comments and responses in the MND. For most of the
comments, responses were not required because there were no specific comments on
the contents of the Draft MND. Minor modifications to the Draft MND did not alter the
conclusion of the MND.
CEQA
The Sanitation District, as lead agency, prepared an Initial Study analyzing the project's
potential environmental impacts. Based on the Initial Study, it was determined that all of
the project's potentially significant environmental impacts can be mitigated to a level of
less than significant impact. On this basis, an MND and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program was prepared. A 30-day public review period commenced on
April 26, 2019. The Draft MND was submitted to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day
comment period (State Clearinghouse No. 2019049152). The Sanitation District received
Page 2 d 3
eight comments from public agencies and none from the public. The MND includes these
comments, as well as the Sanitation District's responses.
The proposed Resolution presenting CEQA findings and adopting the MND and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program is attached for the Board's consideration and
approval.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: PLANT NO. 2 TRUCKLOADING AUGER REPLACEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to Putzmeister for the procurement of up
to 12 replacement Putzmeister augers along with their associated mounting
components including gear motor assembly for the Plant No. 2 truckloading facility,
for a total amount not to exceed $663,359;
B. Approve payment of $198,008 (30%) of the not-to-exceed amount at the time of
order; and
C. Approve a contingency of$132,672 (20%).
BACKGROUND
Approximately 300 tons per day of biosolids are generated from the wastewater treatment
operations at Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Plant No. 2. These
biosolids are loaded on trucks for off-site reuse through two truckloading bays at the
truckloading facility.
The augers were installed as part of Project No. P2-60, Solids Storage and Truckloading
Facility at Plant No. 2, and have been in service since 2000. The augers are used for
moving biosolids from overhead storage bins into trucks. There are six augers in each of
the two truckloading bays. Truckloading operations would not be possible without
property operating augers.
Two augers recently failed, and a third auger is exhibiting signs of wear indicating failure
potential. Auger replacement is highly recommended based on a recently concluded
technical assessment, which included a remaining useful life analysis. In addition, these
augers are under more stress now that Plant No. 2 is producing denser biosolids since
the new dewatering centrifuges have come on-line.
The original augers were manufactured by Putzmeister. Pumpaction Corporation
(Pumpaction) is the sole authorized company for Putzmeister parts and repairs.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
Safe, beneficial reuse of Biosolids
Page 1 d 3
PROBLEM
The augers have reached the end of their useful life and reliable operation of the augers
is critical for ensuring timely removal of the biosolids produced as part of the wastewater
treatment operation.
The accessibility of the augers is limited, and any auger related work requires shutdown
of an entire truckloading bay. In order to maintain the required biosolids truckloading
rates, one of the two truckloading bays must be in operation at all times.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends procurement of up to 12 replacement augers for Plant No. 2
truckloading and associated installation inspection services from the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM). Staff will procure installation services using the master services
repair and maintenance contract in two phases as only one loading bay can be taken out
of service at any one time. Staff also recommends a relatively high contingency of 20%
since these high wear parts are being removed for the first time and unknown conditions
may be encountered.
TIMING CONCERNS
Augers are already showing signs of wear, and more dense solids produced by the newly
commissioned dewatering centrifuges are aggravating the condition of the worn augers.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure to replace the augers could seriously jeopardize ability to effectively remove
biosolids causing potential wastewater treatment capacity impacts.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The proposed replacement augers are a design unique to the Sanitation District and are
not used elsewhere. As such, the vendor has requested a 30% upfront payment to begin
the fabrication of these unique parts that cannot be put back into stock if the order were
to be cancelled.
CEQA
The replacement of the truckloading augers is categorically exempt from CEQA under the
Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in California Code of Regulations sections
15301. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from CEQA 'the operation, repair,
maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private
Page 2 of 3
structures facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible
or no expansion of existing or former use," including "(b) Existing facilities of both investor
and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or
other public utility services".
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This recommendation will be funded under the Repairs and Maintenance line
item for the Operations and Maintenance Department, and the available funding is
sufficient for this action in FY 2018-19 Budget Line Item: Repairs and Maintenance,

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SLUDGE DEWATERING AND ODOR CONTROL AT PLANT NO. 2,
PROJECT NO. P2-92
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contingency increase of $498,500 (1%) to the construction contract with
Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. for Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at
Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-92, for a total contingency of$2,991,000 (6%).
BACKGROUND
This project replaces existing solids dewatering and odor control facilities at Orange
County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 2. The objectives of the project
include replacing aging facilities, lowering biosolids management costs, and improving
odor control treatment.
The project includes installation of centrifuges for the dewatering facility and demolition
of existing facilities. The new dewatering facility was first placed into service in
March 2019, and the old facility was taken out of service in June 2019. Demolition is
scheduled to begin in early July 2019.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Sound engineering and accounting practices, complying with local, state and
federal laws
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
In preparation for the upcoming demolition activities, a much larger number of flange
gaskets were found to contain asbestos than was identified in the Hazardous Material
Survey included with the bid documents. The piping associated with those gaskets also
has lead-based paint that makes cutting the flanges without disassembly impractical.
Addressing issues with asbestos and lead containing materials will require approximately
$200,000, which is most of the remaining Board-approved construction contract
contingency. The remaining demolition work could reveal conditions and circumstances
impacting the construction effort that are not detectable prior to construction.
Page 1 d 3
For the construction changes to date, the large majority have either been negotiated, or
the magnitude of the costs are reasonably well-known and factored into the remaining
contingency. There are, however, several unresolved disputed items with a contractor
requested value of approximately $500,000. While the Sanitation District has disputed
the merit of these items, the full problem-solving procedures offered the Contractor by the
Public Contract Code have not concluded. Final determination of merit and extent of
potential added costs for these items remains a potential risk.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a construction contract contingency increase to cover the additional lead and
asbestos abatement costs, provide sufficient authorization for staff to complete demolition
activities, and resolve disputed items. No additional project budget is required to fund
this increase.
TIMING CONCERNS
Demolition activities will begin in July 2019. If problems arise, the construction work might
have to be stopped until additional contract funds can be authorized to resolve the issue.
These delays would result in increased staff costs to administer the contract and
potentially extended overhead claims from the Contractor.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If additional contingency is needed, but not available, it might be necessary to leave some
demolition work uncompleted. Any uncompleted demolition work would constrain the
future use of the site and add to the cost and duration to future projects.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: SLUDGE DEWATERING AND ODOR CONTROL AT PLANT NO. 1,
PROJECT NO. P1-101
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contingency increase of $357,000 (5%) to the Professional Consultant
Services Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide construction support services
for Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-101, for a total
contingency amount of$2,499,000 (35%).
BACKGROUND
This project replaces existing solids dewatering, sludge thickening, and odor control
systems at Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1. The
objectives of the project include additional capacity to support expansion of the
Groundwater Replenishment System, replacing aging facilities, lowering biosolids
management costs, and improving sludge thickening to avoid the need to construct new
digesters.
This project includes installation of centrifuges for the dewatering system and the
thickening system. Commissioning of the dewatering systems was completed with
beneficial occupancy of that system occurring in March 2019. Commissioning of the
thickening system is in progress and was expected to be completed by mid-June 2019.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Sound engineering and accounting practices, complying with local, state, and
federal laws
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
Commission of the thickening system has been delayed due to an unexpected
accumulation of solids in the thickened sludge piping impacting the sludge density meters
used to control the thickening centrifuge and reducing pipe capacity. Engineering time is
needed to support optimization to the operation of the mechanical and chemical addition
systems.
Page 1 d 3
Additionally, due to the unanticipated complexity of the project that resulted in multiple
design and functionality changes, additional contingency is needed to complete the
record drawings for the project.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Increase the Consultant contract contingency for extended support for the Design
Consultant's process startup specialist and for additional as-built drawing efforts. No
additional project budget is required to fund this increase.
TIMING CONCERNS
Construction is nearing completion and commissioning is close to complete. To address
the current unknown condition affecting commissioning,the additional consultant services
are needed such that commissioning can be successfully completed without delay to the
project.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The current contingency is insufficient to cover the projected costs for Consultant support
needed to complete the project. Without the additional funds commissioning activities
would be severely hampered and project delays would be incurred.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
March 2018 - Approved a contingency increase of $856,800 (12%) to the Professional

Page 2 of 3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
HDR Engineering, Inc., the project's Design Consultant, was awarded a Professional
Consultant Services Agreement for engineering support services during construction,
including reviewing Contractor submittals, responding to requests for information,
preparing design modifications,and providing otherservices needed of the original design
firm. This support has been essential for successful completion of the project.
The Design Consultant has been providing the services of a process startup specialist to
assist Sanitation District staff in fully testing and optimizing systems before beneficial
occupancy. That specialist is uniquely qualified by technical expertise, familiarity with the
new systems, and relationships with Sanitation District staff to diagnose and resolve the
problem. As the Consultant's Scope of Work is otherwise nearly complete, there is no
remaining contingency to fund the troubleshooting and to continue the now-delayed
thickening system testing.
CEQA
Construction of this project is within the scope of the Subsequent Environmental Impact
Report for the Secondary Treatment and Plan Improvement Project dated March 2005.
The Subsequent Environmental Impact Report for the Secondary Treatment and Plan
Improvement Project, supplementing the Sanitation District's Strategic Plan Program
Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), was certified in October 1999. Pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines section 15168(c)(4), the Sanitation District has used a written checklist to
document its evaluation of the project and has determined that the project is still within
the scope of program EIR. In addition, the project was determined to be eligible for a
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Pollution Act (NEPA) in
June 2006.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (FY 2019/20 Budget Update, Appendix A,
Page A-9), and the budget is sufficient for this action.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: RETURN ACTIVATED SLUDGE PIPING REPLACEMENT AT
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PLANT NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-129
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a budget increase of $1,300,000 for Return Activated Sludge Piping
Replacement at Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129, for a total
budget of$10,300,000;
B. Approve a Professional Construction Services Agreement with AECOM Technical
Services, Inc. to provide construction support services for Return Activated Sludge
Piping Replacement at Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129, for a
total amount not to exceed $140,000; and
C. Approve a contingency related to the Professional Construction Services
Agreement of$14,000 (10%).
BACKGROUND
Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, constructed in 1974, is one of the three biological treatment
processes at the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) at Plant No. 1.
The facility includes 230 feet of 30-inch return activated sludge piping required to maintain
full capacity and supply effluent to the Orange County Water District. The condition of
this discharge pipe is compromised, and it no longer provides reliable service.
This project will completely replace the existing pump station discharge header piping
and buried piping from the pump station to the aeration basin walls.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
• Comply with California Government Code Section 4526 to engage the best
qualified firm "on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications" and
"negotiate fair and reasonable fees'
Page 1 d 4
PROBLEM
In October 2018, the Board of Directors approved a budget increase based on a
construction cost estimate of $5.8 million. That increase was to support a decision to
purchase rather than rent bypass pumps for use on the project and then use the same
pumps again for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105. By the
time final design was completed, the estimated construction cost had risen to $6.1 million.
On June 24, 2019, bids were received, with the lowest bid nearly$6.9 million, $1.1 million
more than the estimate at the time the budget was increased. The contractors' bids were
highly dependent on the means and methods of construction, as well as perceived risks
working in tight spaces. To complete this project, an additional $1.3 million of project
budget is requested; $1.1 million for the construction contract, and an additional$200,000
for the related construction contract contingency.
The project also requires the design consultant to provide as-needed services during
construction including submittal review, answering the contractors requests for
information, reviewing construction change orders, participating in meetings, site visits,
and preparing record drawings.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Increase the project budget by $1.3 million from $9,000,000 to $10,300,000.
Award a Professional Construction Services Agreement with AECOM Technical Services,
Inc. to provide engineering support services during construction.
TIMING CONCERNS
The additional project budget is needed to award the construction contract and
engineering support services will be needed at the start of construction.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The project budget is not sufficient to award the construction contract for which bids were
received. Without additional budget, staff would need to reduce project scope and
re-advertise for bids. To reduce costs, the purchase of the bypass pumps would be
replaced with rental of the pumps. In that case, the cost of Headworks Rehabilitation at
Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105, would increase by the same amount, since that project
was expected to use the pumps to facilitate construction.
The engineering support services needed to facilitate and review construction activities
will not be available, which may negatively impact the contract execution.
Page 2 of 4
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
October 2018 — Approved a project budget increase of $1,100,000 for a total budget of
$9,000,000.
June 2018 — Approved through the Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Budget a project budget of
$7,900,000 for the Return Activated Sludge Piping Replacement at Activated Sludge
Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129.
May 2017—Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with AECOM Technical
Services, Inc. to provide engineering design services for the Return Activated Sludge
Piping Replacement at Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129, for an amount
not to exceed $523,039 and approved a contingency of$52,304 (10%).
December 2016 - Approved the creation of the P1-129 project for a total project cost of
$3,300,000.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. has successfully furnished engineering services for the
design of this project and their support services during construction will provide continuity
through the completion of the project. Staff negotiated with AECOM Technical Services,
Inc. for these support services in accordance with the Sanitation District's 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 for preparing record drawings.
Based on this review, staff determined the negotiated fee to be fair and reasonable for
these services.
CEQA
This project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in
California Code of Regulations Section 15301. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from
CEQA "the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing
at the time of the lead agency's determination', including '(b) Existing facilities of both
investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas,
sewerage, or other public utility services".
The project consists of minor alterations to existing public facilities.
A Notice of Exemption for this project was filed and recorded with the County of Orange
on May 25, 2017, after the Board of Directors approved the Professional Design Services
Agreement.
Page 3 of 4
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This project has been budgeted (FY2019-20 Budget Update, Appendix A,
Page A-10) and the budget is sufficient to award the Professional Construction Services
Agreement.
Funds for the budget increase will be taken from a corresponding project budget reduction
for Plant No. 2 Digester Facilities Rehabilitation, Project No. P2-91-1. That project budget
can be reduced because the project is expected to be completed significantly under
budget.

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.

Page 16 of 19
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

A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The

including the OCSD Safety Standards, as applicable, all of which may be amended from
time to time.

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

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Celia Chandler, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: 2020 BENEFITS INSURANCE RENEWAL
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Orange County Sanitation District 2020 Benefits Insurance Renewal for the
overall not-to-exceed amount of$13,137,895; and a one-time adjustment to 2019 Health
&Welfare Insurance purchase order for the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of$230,000, as
specified below:
A. WORKTERRA (medical, dental, and vision plans; Health Savings Accounts [HSA];
and Employee Assistance Program [EAP])— Not to Exceed $12,377,584;
B. Prudential (basic life, short- and long-term disability)— Not to Exceed $730,311;
C. The Standard (EMT & Manager disability)— Not to Exceed $30,000; and
D. Approve a contingency of$656,895 (5%).
E. For the 2019 Plan Year, approve a one-time reallocation from the 2019 operating
budget in the amount of $230,000 to be transferred to group health insurance
benefits, resulting in a change in the total cost approved by the Board, from
$12,894,770 to $13,124,770. The reallocation would not result in an increase to
the overall 2019 budget.
SUMMARY
In accordance with collective bargaining agreements, the Orange County Sanitation
District(Sanitation District) has a contractual obligation to provide healthcare and welfare
insurance benefits to employees and eligible dependents.
Over the years, Human Resources (HR) has implemented ongoing cost-containment
measures to include: joining a risk-sharing pool under California State Association of
Counties—Excess Insurance Authority(CSAC-EIA), making plan design changes to align
with best practices, bundling insurance coverages, and negotiating rate guarantees. HR
met and conferred with the unions to secure all benefit changes.
The Sanitation District's health insurance broker, Alliant, began the renewal process for
the agreed to benefits in March and received quotes in June. After negotiating with the
insurance carriers, Alliant was able to secure competitive rates for the Sanitation District
Page 1 of 5
without compromising the level of benefits provided to employees and eligible
dependents.
The cost of insurance coverage will increase by 0.1% overall for the 2020 Plan Year, with
premiums specified in the attached rate list. Employees share in the cost of medical and
dental insurance, paying 10% of the cost for employee-only HMO plans and 20% of the
cost for all other medical plans and enrollment levels, as well as 20% of the cost of dental
plans.
A contingency budget in the amount of $656,895, or 5% of the total cost for benefits
insurance, is requested. This contingency budget may be utilized in the event that the
actual costfor benefits insurance exceeds the NTE amounts requested due to fluctuations
such as changes in the Sanitation District's number of employees, changes in employees'
eligibility for District-paid benefits, and other factors.
Additionally, a one-time reallocation is requested from the 2019 operating budget in the
amount of $230,000 to be transferred to group health insurance benefits to account for
actual 2019 Plan Year costs. The benefit renewal data used in the 2019 projections was
calculated based on the census data, which is required by the insurance carriers eight (8)
months in advance of the plan year. Throughout the plan year, changes in employee
composition such as new hires, employee plan selection and turnover, resulted in an
increase in actual costs.
BACKGROUND
For the 2018 Plan Year, the overall increase to insurance was 3.1%, followed by 4.1% in
2019.
In May 2015, the Board of Directors approved moving the Sanitation District's medical
insurance from direct contracts with the carriers to joining the insurance risk sharing pool
under California State Association of Counties—Excess Insurance Authority(CSAC-EIA).
The association with CSAC-EIA resulted in immediate and future cost savings to the
Sanitation District in medical insurance premiums and dictated a change from fiscal to
calendar-based plan year, from January through December. Staff typically presents the
benefits renewal information to the Board of Directors annually every July, for an effective
date of January 151 of the year therafter. The move to CSAC-EIA has proved to be
beneficial based on the rate increases the Sanitation District has received in the past few
years.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Offer competitive compensation and benefits
• Comply with OCSD Policy 4.1 — Insurance
Page 2 of 5
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District has a contractual obligation to provide healthcare and welfare
insurance benefits to employees and eligible dependents, and any benefit changes are
subject to the meet and confer process. Additionally, the Sanitation District is required to
hold an annual benefits open enrollment period every October to provide employees and
eligible dependents the opportunity to make changes to their benefit elections, for an
effective date of January 151 of the year thereafter. Insurance contracts are required to
be finalized in August 2019, ahead of open enrollment.
Each year, the benefit renewal data used in cost projections is calculated based on the
census data, which is required by the insurance carriers eight months in advance of the
plan year. Throughout the plan year, changes in employee composition such as new
hires, employee plan selection and turnover, may result in a change in actual costs. Based
on the required timelines, projected costs and actual costs will vary year to year.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve the benefits insurance renewals as described above with the respective carriers
to ensure continued coverage for employees and eligible dependents, along with the
contingency and 2019 budget reallocation.
TIMING CONCERNS
Board approval is necessary in July 2019 to ensure that the Sanitation District meets its
insurance renewal deadlines in August, to finalize preparations for the October benefits
open enrollment, and for continued coverage for Sanitation District employees and
eligible dependents, in accordance with collective bargaining agreements and personnel
policies.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without Board approval, the Sanitation District cannot finalize the contracts with the
insurance carriers in August for the 2020 Plan Year, and may not be able to fulfill
remaining payments for the 2019 Plan Year. A lapse in payment to the insurance carriers
would result in the interruption of medical, dental, vision, EAP, life, and disability coverage
and services to employees and eligible dependents; and the Sanitation District would not
be meeting its obligation to provide these benefits as provided for in collective bargaining
agreements and personnel policies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Medical Insurance
The Sanitation District's medical benefits are designed to help maintain wellness and
protect employees and their families from major financial hardship in the event of illness
or injury. The Sanitation District offers a choice of medical plans through Anthem Blue
Cross and Kaiser Permanents.
HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans offer comprehensive coverage.
Employees have a choice between the Anthem Blue Cross HMO orthe Kaiser HMO plan.
The PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan through Anthem Blue Cross offers a
network of doctors and healthcare facilities that provide services to plan members at
special discounted rates. The Sanitation District also offers two high deductible plans; a
high deductible HMO plan through Kaiser, and a high deductible PPO plan through
Anthem Blue Cross.
District-Paid Retiree Medical Insurance
Employees hired prior to July 1, 1988 receive a limited duration of District-paid medical
insurance upon retirement. Retirees falling within this group receive 2.5 months of District-
paid medical insurance for each year of continuous service. Employees hired after July
1, 1988 are ineligible for this benefit. Therefore, the benefit will reduce and eventually
expire over time as the remaining employees within this group retire, and as the limited
duration of each eligible retiree's benefit is completed.
Dental Insurance
The Sanitation District provides the Delta Dental plan to all benefit eligible employees.
Vision Insurance
The Sanitation District currently provides vision insurance to all benefit eligible employees
through Vision Service Plan (VSP).
Basic Life Insurance
Life insurance provides protection for an employee's beneficiary in the event of death. All
benefit eligible full-time and part-time employees automatically receive Basic Life and
Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance coverage. The benefit amount is$50,000
for employees, and three times salary for managers and executives. Coverage is offered
through Prudential.
Short-Term Disability Insurance
The short-term disability insurance plan protects employees when non-work related
illness or injury makes it impossible for them to work for a short period of time. Under the
plan, income may be continued for up to 26 weeks. The Sanitation District pays the entire
cost of coverage for regular full-time and part-time employees. Coverage is offered
through Prudential.
Page 4 of 5
Long-Term Disability Insurance
The long-term disability insurance plan protects employees when an illness or injury
makes it impossible for them to work for an extended period of time. Under the plan,
employees who are disabled for more than 90 days are eligible to receive a benefit of
67%of their basic monthly pay up to$5,000/month. The Sanitation District pays the entire
cost of coverage for regular full-time and part-time employees with five or more years of
service. Coverage is offered through Prudential.
Executive Disability
The additional long-term disability insurance plan provides increased income protection
for executives and managers. Under the plan, eligible employees who are disabled for
more than 90 days due to a non-work related illness or injury are eligible to receive an
additional benefit of $3,100/month. The first $5,000/month is covered by the Sanitation
District group long-term disability plan benefit. Coverage is offered through The Standard.
Health Savings Account
Employees who elect the Anthem High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) are
simultaneously enrolled in a Health Savings Account (HSA)which provides a method for
the employee to save for heath-related expenses. The Sanitation District currently makes
an annual contribution to the HSA based on the increased deductible and the savings
incurred by employees electing the HDHP plan compared to the PPO plan.
Employee Assistance Program
The EAP plan protects employees and family members when they need help with
personal problems such as marital and relationship problems; stress, anxiety and
depression; grief and loss; or substance abuse. Coverage is offered through ComPsych.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. The funds for the renewal of these insurances are derived from the Sanitation
District FY 2019-20 Operating Budget. For the adjustment to 2019 group health
insurance benefits, no additional budgeted funds are needed due to savings in other
salary and benefit line items.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 2019
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Legislative Affairs Update for the month of June 2019.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) legislative affairs program
includes advocating the Sanitation District's legislative interests, sponsoring legislation
(where appropriate), and seeking Local, State, and Federal funding for projects and
programs.
Staff will provide an update on recent legislative and grant activities.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program
• Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders,
and neighboring communities
PROBLEM
Without a strong advocacy program, elected officials may not be aware that the Sanitation
District is more than a wastewater treatment plant — treating and sending water to the
ocean.
The Sanitation District is an environmentally engaged organization which recycles more
than 50 percent of its wastewater. Additionally, to help meet the goal of 100 percent
recycling, the Sanitation District uses the byproducts from the wastewater treatment
process to produce biosolids to fertilize crops and energy used to help power the two
plants in Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Continue to work with Local, State, and Federal officials to advocate the Sanitation
District's legislative interests. Help to create/monitor legislation and grants that would
benefit the Sanitation District, the wastewater industry, and the community as a whole.
Page 1 of 2
To assist in our relationship building activities, we will continue to reach out to our elected
officials providing facility tours, one-on-one meetings, and trips to D.C. and Sacramento.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If we do not work with Local, State, and Federal elected officials, legislation could be
passed that negatively affects the Sanitation District and the wastewater industry as a
whole. Additionally, this could affect our chances of receiving grant funding.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sanitation District Board Vice-Chair John Withers, Committee Chair Peter Kim,
Committee Vice-Chairman Allan Bernstein, and General Manager Jim Herberg attended
the Washington D.C. Advocacy Days, which took place June 17-19, during which current
legislation, regulatory affairs, and possible funding opportunities were discussed.
Meetings took place with Congressman Lowenthal; staff from the offices of Congressman
Cisneros, Congresswoman Porter, Congressman Correa, and Congressman Rouda; and
the National Association of Clean Water Agencies CEO Adam Krantz.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rebecca Long
FROM: Eric Sapirstein
DATE: June 17, 2019
SUBJECT: Washington Update
During the past month,congressional efforts to develop fiscal year 2020 spending
bills continued in the House. The Senate leadership continued to work with the
Administration to develop a consensus understanding on how to reach an overall
spending limit to avoid sequestration that would mean at least 10 percent across-
the-board program cuts. On policy issues,several House committees continued to
develop a legislative record on the need for infrastructure assistance with a focus on
water,despite the apparent collapse of a comprehensive infrastructure package.
Concern over Per-and PolyFluoroalkyl Substances- PFAS/PFOA contamination of
drinking water supplies continued to command congressional attention through the
budget,and policy making process.
The following summarizes the status of these and other issues of interest to OCSD.
Washington Meetings In Place for Board Members and District Representatives
Over the past month,the annual Washington federal advocacy visit was arranged.
Meetings are in place for OCSD to meet with its congressional delegation to identify
and advocate on behalf of its priorities for infrastructure assistance,advancing
support for food waste to energy programs,addressing biosolids management,and
water recycling assistance.
2 1 P a g e
Fiscal Year 2020 Spending Decisions Maintain Strong Support for Water Needs
The House Committee on Appropriations approved both the Interior and
Environment Appropriations Bill,which funds the US Environmental Protection
Agency(USEPA) programs,and the Energy and Water Development Appropriations
Bill,which funds water recycling and water efficiency programs at the United States
Bureau of Reclamation (USER).
The House will debate and pass the measures before it recesses for the
Independence Day week. Passage of the min-busses is all but assured. Assuming
this occurs,the Senate will then have adequate time to develop and pass its versions
of these bills. In theory,this would mean that the two chambers could then meet in
a conference committee to fashion a final measure in September,before the new
fiscal year begins on October 1. However,the Administration has signaled that the
increased spending in the House bills and the packaging of several bills into a
minibus would result in a veto. It is too early to conclude that the Administration
would follow through on the veto. Instead, it would appear highly likely that a
stopgap spending measure will be required as Congress and the Administration
seek to address contentious issues including the ongoing debate to fund the border
wall, increase the debt ceiling limit and reconcile spending priorities in September
and October.
At USEPA,the State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) program that includes the
State Revolving Loan Fund would be funded at a total of$4.6 billion, an increase of
$1 billion. Of this amount,the Clean Water SRF would be allocated$1.8 billion and
the Drinking Water SRF would receive a record$1.3 billion. Grants to support
sustainability projects would be funded at$4 million; a small amount,but the first
time such grants have been appropriated. Additionally, for the first time,funding
would be provided at$90 million to support direct grants to agencies for addressing
stormwater capture for recycling.
The Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill seeks to provide significant
funding for water recycling projects with Title XVI receiving$63 million. The Water
Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act(WIIN) water recycling program
would receive $10 million,but has been boosted with$13 million of Title XVI
funding directed to be transferred. The small appropriation for WIIN water
recycling projects is attributable to the fact that only$10 million in program
authorization remains. Assuming the full$63 million is ultimately signed into law,it
will offer OCSD a continued source of federal assistance to compete for in the year
ahead.
The important WaterSmart program that has benefited wastewater agencies
implement innovative technologies in the past is appropriated$60 million,
providing robust funding for technology assistance.

Regulation and Remediation ofPFAS/PFOA
The continuing escalating concern over the health impacts connected to PFAS/PFOA
contamination of drinking water sources has generated dozens of bills to require
either the listing of the chemicals for regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act
or developing grants assistance to communities for the cleanup of water supplies.
The Senate is expected to vote on this comprehensive approach that would be
attached to the National Defense Authorization Act, all but guaranteeing passage if
the amendment is agreed to by the House during conference later this year. As
drafted,USEPA would be required to impose monitoring requirements on water
agencies. The key issue for OCSD is language that requires USEPA to issue interim
guidance on the destruction and disposal of PFAS from,among other sources,
biosolids,spent membranes,and filters. In addition,another approach that draws
serious consideration is to impose compliance with treatment mandates upon
manufacturers of products that contain PFAS/PFOA through effluent limitations.
As Congress considers legislation,USEPA continues to study the extent of
PFAS/PFOA in the drinking water supply and what the science deems appropriate
to develop an enforceable human health protection standard. Recently, California's
Attorney General sent a letter(on behalf of several state Attorneys Generals) to
USEPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler demanding that a standard,known as an
MCL,be established without delay. The standard if adopted would create an
exceptionally low level of detection that could impose new monitoring and
treatment mandates on water agencies.
Infrastructure Initiative Collapses Due to Inability to Identify Funding Source
The conventional wisdom that the White House and Congress would come together
and work on a massive infrastructure program evaporated this past month when
the president rejected the effort until such time as congressional investigations end.
However, it seems that irrespective of the politics surrounding the infrastructure
debate,the key challenge involves finding a source of revenue to support a dramatic
funding demand in excess of a trillion dollars. While legislative time remains to
develop an infrastructure package,it seems more likely that the House and Senate
will develop individual infrastructure packages that will be finalized no earlier than
next session. To this end,the Committee on Transportation&Infrastructure is
expected to approve H.R. 1497 by the end of June or early July. H.R. 1497 would
authorize$4 billion annually for five years to support the Clean Water SRF program
along with provisions to support disadvantaged communities and other needs
including green infrastructure.
The priority to address resiliency and alternative water supply needs like water
recycling continues to be a focus for the House Committee on Natural Resources and
the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

In the House, Representative josh Harder(D-CA) introduced the S.A.V.E Our Water
Ac (H.R. 2473)that would, among other matters,fund individual water recycling
projects at a maximum amount of$30 million. The bill would commit$500 million
to the overall program for a period of five years. The bill's water recycling
provisions mirror an earlier introduced bill, H.R. 1162,sponsored by Representative
Grace Napolitano (D-CA). Both bills received a hearing before the House
Subcommittee on Water, Oceans and Wildlife this month. The hearing now allows
the bills to be redrafted into one measure, approved by the committee, and sent to
the House Floor for debate and a vote this summer,at the earliest
In the Senate, Senator Feinstein has just about completed a draft drought resiliency
bill that she is collaborating with Senator Cory Gardner(R-CO). The bipartisan bill
would likely become the key Senate water bill to address water needs in the
western U.S. Staff for Senator Feinstein and the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources continue to work on provisions to address renewal of MIN provisions
related to Bay-Delta issues. Central to the draft are provisions providing$100
million to support water recycling projects,raising the project assistance cap to$30
million,deauthorizing water recycling projects that have not received federal
assistance over the past ten years,and creating a low interest loan program -
Reclamation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (RIFIA) to stimulate billions
in new water infrastructure project funding.

State Political Update
After the Appropriations Committee deadline on May 17, the focus of the Legislature was shifted
primarily toward the Budget deadline of June 15.The Assembly and the Senate convened a series
of budget subcommittee hearings to negotiate and adopt specific funding priorities and positions.
Once these various budget subcommittees finalized their work, the Senate, and Assembly
introduced their own Budget proposals to fund their priority policy areas and projects. Differences
between the Senate and Assembly versions of the Budget were consolidated by a Budget
Conference Committee before the final Budget was approved by both houses on June 13.
In addition to focusing on the budget process, the Legislature also worked to pass all bills out of
their first house by June 1. Any bills that did not pass before June 1 are now two-year bills and
can be heard again in January 2020. The Legislature's focus will now shift toward passing bills
out of their second-house policy committees before their Summer Recess.
Below is a list of key upcoming deadlines in the Legislature:
July 10 — Last day for policy committees to hear and report fiscal bills in their second house to
fiscal committees.
July 12—Summer Recess begins upon adjournment
Fiscal Year 2019-2020 State Budget
On June 13, the Assembly voted 60-15 to pass a $214.8 billion FY 19-20 State Budget. Shortly
after, the Senate voted 29-11 to pass the same Budget bill. The Budget is currently on Governor
Newsom's desk for his consideration and signature.When the Budget deal was announced earlier
in June, Governor Newsom called it balanced and praised its fiscal responsibility and resiliency.
As a reminder, the Governor of California has line-item veto authority of the State Budget.
This record-setting Budget includes $150.7 billion in General Fund expenditures, as well as
contains the largest reserves in California history of over$19 billion.
The Budget includes a sweeping compromise on a sustainable funding source for safe and
affordable drinking water projects for disadvantaged communities, as well as the highest per pupil
education funding in State history and over$2 billion in one-time funding for programs to combat
homelessness, promote housing-related infrastructure, and expand the State's Low Income
Housing Tax Credit Program.
Safe Drinking Water Proposals
The Budget that the Assembly and the Senate passed on June 13 included a safe and affordable
drinking water compromise. Included in the Budget for Fiscal Year 19-20 is $100 million from the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) as well as $30 million from the General Fund for safe
drinking water projects in communities that do not have access to safe drinking water.
Additionally, a trailer bill will be introduced and considered in the next couple of weeks, which will
have a 5 percent GGRF continuous appropriation beginning 2020-21 with a total cap of $130
million toward safe and affordable drinking water programs. It will also provide a General Fund
backstop to fill the Safe Drinking Water Fund should the 5 percent of the GGRF be lower than
$130 million beginning 2023-24, with a sunset in 2030.
As a reminder, the GGRF generates money as a key component of the State's Cap and Trade
program, which sells emissions credits through quarterly auctions to large polluters in the State.
The California constitution limits the use of GGRF to only projects that reduce greenhouse gas
emissions or sequester carbon in the atmosphere. The nexus the Legislature is using to authorize
GGRF appropriations is the reduction of vehicle emissions from trucking in water to several
communities that do not have clean drinking water.
The deal struck by legislators to provide a sustainable source of funding for clean drinking water
projects means that the concept of a water tax is likely dead for the year. AB 217 (Garcia), which
previously included a $0.50 per month charge to urban water system customers has been gut
and amended to now deal with income tax credits. TPA will continue to monitor the Budget
situation, policy bills, and trailer bills for language that institutes a water tax.
Cap and Trade Auction
In May, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) conducted their second Cap and Trade
auction of the calendar year.The Cap and Trade program is a greenhouse gas emission reduction
strategy that places a statewide cap on emissions and auctions off emission allowances on a
quarterly basis. Major carbon emitters must bid on allowances in order to report their total
emissions to the state each year. Once again, all available emission credits were sold, and the
state expects to receive over$740 million from the May 2019 auction.
Revenues generated from the Cap and Trade program currently fund various transportation
projects, affordable housing, and sustainable community programs. 40 percent of the revenue is
available through the discretion of the Legislature for future appropriations for projects that will
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The adopted Budget highlights the State's continued
commitment to achieving a carbon-neutral economy and transitioning away from fossil fuels by
investing $1.4 billion in new and continuing programs.
The next Cap and Trade auction will take place in August 2019.

SB 210 (Leyva)—Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program
SB 210 directs the Air Resources Board (ARB)to work in coordination with multiple state agencies
in order to develop and implement a Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance Program for non-
gasoline, heavy-duty, on-road trucks. Specifically, SB 210 would develop a pilot program to
measure and enforce new regulations on heavy duty on-road trucks and then require ARB to
adopt a full program within two years after the pilot program ends. SB 210 is currently in the
Assembly Transportation Committee and will be heard on July 1, 2019.
SB 667(Hueso)— Greenhouse gases:recycling infrastructure and facilities.
SB 667 would require CalRecycle in coordination with the Treasurer to develop financial incentive
mechanisms, including, but not limited to, loans and incentive payments, to fund organic waste
diversion and recycling infrastructure. This bill also requires CalRecycle to develop and amend a
5-year investment strategy to drive innovation and support technological development and
infrastructure. SB 667 passed the Senate Floor and is currently in the Assembly Natural
Resources Committee.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rebecca Long
FROM: Eric Sapirstein
DATE: June 21, 2019
SUBJECT: Washington Trip Summary
On June 18-19,2019,OCSD Vice Chair,John Withers and Board Members Peter Kim
and Alan Bernstein,accompanied by General Manager Jim Herberg,met with OCSD's
congressional delegation Members and staff to discuss federal policy issues of
interest. Additional meetings with senior officials in the USEPA Office of Water and
National Association of Clean Water Agencies were held. Because of the legislative
schedule a number of Members were unable to attend the meetings due to travel
schedules and/or committee meetings.
Summary and Outcome of Meetings
The meeting discussions revealed a continuing support of OCSD federal priorities. In
each discussion with congressional offices,there was a desire to ensure that OCSD's
needs are advanced. To this end,the delegation expressed a willingness to endorse
OCSD initiatives related to water recycling,delivering effective alternative energy
production,and providing Flexibility in developing permit terms.
L Congressional Meetings Summary
A. Sheresh Khan,Legislative Assistant,Office of Representative Lou Correa
was provided an overview of OCSD's current activities. In the discussion on
PFAS/PFOA,appreciation for Rep. Correa's leadership in seeking a national
drinking water health standard was noted. The priority expressed by OCSD
to ensure that the underlying research and science is developed to establish
an appropriate health standard was understood and accepted. Khan was
informed that current legislative approaches should not impose new
regulations on biosolids management absent definitive science because it
could lead to decisions that would preclude effective and safe management of
biosolids. Khan understood this issue and requested that any
recommendations on how to address the issue be provided.
21Page
On water recycling issues, Khan indicated that Rep. Correa was strongly
supportive of OCSD's efforts to advance the science and technology to
advance GWRS ability to allow for 100%recycling of available effluent. She
offered to coordinate a joint delegation letter of support for the pending
WaterSmart grant application that OCSD plans to submit to USBR. A review
of the priority to advance the development of alternative energy production
at OCSD by introducing food wastes into the treatment process to
"supercharge'the digester process and create higher value methane was
explained. Khan indicated a willingness to provide support as appropriate.
She was informed that federal programs to support such efforts is important.
Finally, Khan was provided an overview of the effort to allow for ten-year
NPDES permit terms and was asked that Rep. Correa cosponsor the bill, H.R.
1764. Khan indicated that she would review the issue with Rep. Correa.
B. Beth Hammon,Legislative Assistant,Office of Representative Harley
Rouda was provided a similar update. However,as the Member whose
congressional district includes OCSD facilities,the focus of the discussion was
on PFAS/PFOA and its impact upon the treatment process,the priority for
alternative energy production and NPDES permit terms. OCSD Board
Members expressed support for Rep. Rouda's efforts to provide resources to
cleanup PFAS/PFOA contamination. At the same time,Hammon was
informed that premature mandates on destruction and disposal options
could impose costs and approaches that could create new challenges for
OCSD. Instead, she was told that OCSD would like to work with Rep. Rouda
and her to ensure that any legislative response is grounded in sound science.
On the matter of permit terms, Rouda's co-sponsorship of H.R. 1764 was
noted and appreciation expressed. Finally, Hammon agreed that a letter of
support on behalf of OCSD's water recycling grant application was something
the congressman would endorse.
C. Brieana Marticorena,Legislative Director, Office of Representative
Katie Porter was provided an overview of OCSD's mission and priorities.
Marticorena was enthusiastic about supporting OCSD's needs,endorsing the
notion of a joint delegation letter of support for the water recycling grant
application. On PFAS/PFOA she indicated an interest in being kept up to date
on any concerns as Congress considers legislative approaches to the health
threats. In the discussion, she also noted that Rep. Porter expressly
requested the opportunity to tour OCSD during the upcoming congressional
recess.
D. The Honorable Alan Lowenthal and Chris Gorud,Legislative Director
were provided an update on OCSD's legislative priorities which were
positively received. In a review of the ongoing priority to allow for extended
NPDES permit terms, Lowenthal staff noted that the commitment to allow for
extended terms for good actors remained a priority. The request for a
support letter on behalf of OCSD's water recycling project grant application
to USBR was positively received and the idea of the joint delegation letter
was agreed as a good approach. Finally,support for alternative energy such
as OCSD's food waste project was expressed.

E. John Watts,Environmental Counsel,Office of Senator Dianne Feinstein
was provided an overview of the continued progress in advancing water
recycling technologies at GWRS. An explanation of how OCSD is seeking to
wring the last drop of recyclable water was provided and followed up with a
request for a letter of support. Watts requested that a copy be provided to
the Senator's Deputy State Director. On a related matter,Watts informed
OCSD that the Senator's drought legislation would be introduced and would
support new funding opportunities for water recycling projects like OCSD's.
F. Alexis Segal,Legislative Assistant,Office of Senator Dianne Feinstein
was provided an overview of the PFAS/PFOA challenges created for
organizations like OCSD.She was requested that any legislative
recommendations that are considered impose public health mandates that
are grounded in adequate research as well as documented science. It was
pointed out that mandates should consider the implications for management
of biosolids since the possibility of classifying PFAS/PFOA as subject to
CERCLA(Superfund) could jeopardize the safe and effective management of
biosolids irrespective of the level of any constituents in highly treated
biosolids. She was also provided a summary of OCSD's efforts to advance
energy production from food wastes to allow OCSD to become 100% energy
independent.
G. Emma Norville,Legislative Director,Office of Representative Gil
Cisneros was provided an overview of OCSD operations and priorities. In
the course of reviewing GWRS and the ongoing effort to capture and treat the
remaining water supply and the technical challenges, she indicated a
willingness to have Rep. Cisneros sign a joint letter of support to USBR. A
detailed discussion on the challenges created from PFAS/PFOA to the
wastewater treatment process was provided with a focus on the fact that the
introduction of the chemical compounds cannot be controlled by clean water
agencies and this creates a need to ensure that the compounds are controlled
at the source. In response to this and other comments, Norvell requested
that OCSD provide her with any recommendations that should be considered
as they consider legislative options to control and manage the destruction
and disposal of PFAS/PFOA contaminated environments.
H. The Honorable Linda Sanchez and Cody Willing,Legislative Assistant
were provided an overview of OCSD. Rep. Sanchez noted that she is a strong
supporter of water infrastructure. Given her role on the tax writing
committee (Ways&Means), she was asked to work to ensure that renewable
energy tax credits be available to public private partnerships that seek to
advance food waste to energy projects at clean water agencies like OCSD.
Last,Willing endorsed signing on to a joint letter in support of the OCSD
grant application. This decision meant that the entire delegation will urge

IL U.S.Environmental Protection Agency
A meeting with senior Office of Water,U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
officials was convened. Attending the meeting were representatives from the
Office of Science and Technology, Office of Drinking Water, Office of Wastewater
Management,Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Region IX. The meeting
was convened to review the status of the agency's efforts to address PFAS/PFOA
and potential impacts upon OCSD. The discussion also addressed food waste
energy production and biosolids availability to generate energy. In the
discussion on PFAS/PFOA, EPA staff agreed that it is vital to ensure that the
underlying science supports any standard. To that end,they indicated that the
ongoing strategy is to use the next year to collect data and evaluate what a
national drinking water standard should be set at to ensure public health. At the
same time,staff indicated that biosolids and the impact of PFAS/PFOA on the
management of biosolids is significant policy matter. They stated that they
would like OCSD input,given its role in developing innovative solutions to
complex water quality challenges. They also noted that on November 18, 2019 a
meeting of key clean water stakeholders (NACWA, CASA and WEF among others)
will convene to discuss how best to address biosolids management within the
PFAS/PFOA debate. EPA staff also noted that should Congress legislate
PFAS/PFOA policies that require guidance to be issued on the destruction and
disposal of biosolids, as well as membranes and other spent filters,then the
challenges will increase dramatically with no real understanding on how such
guidance might be developed.
On the issue of food waste and creating alternative energy supplies, the staff
suggested that such endeavors are supported by the agency. At the same time,
staff were unable to clarify why the agency would have rescinded the renewable
energy standard for biosolids.
Last,a brief discussion on water recycling and EPA's Water Recycling Action
Plan occurred. EPA staff requested OCSD to provide input if appropriate on the
Plan with a focus on how EPA might address technical challenges like those
OCSD is currently researching to enhance opportunities to recycle all available
effluents.
National Association of Clean Water Agencies
In a meeting with the leadership of NACWA, a discussion on how best to address
PFAS/PFOA to protect the public without jeopardizing clean water programs
occurred. NACWA officials indicated that the priority is to develop the science
upon which a national standard can be based upon, ensure that clean water
agencies are not tasked with the responsibility and costs to address a problem
they did not create and,last,protect the continued beneficial use of biosolids
from unjustified and unreasonable regulation.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
SUBJECT: PUBLIC AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 2019
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Public Affairs Update for the month of June 2019.
BACKGROUND
Staff will provide an update on recent public affairs activities.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program
• Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders,
and neighboring communities
• Listen to and seriously consider community input on environmental concerns
PROBLEM
Many Californians are not aware of the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) and the important work we do to keep the environment clean by using the
wastewater byproducts to create energy, water recycling, and the use of biosolids.
In general, the community and businesses do not realize that when they improperly
dispose of waste into the sanitation system, it can negatively affect the work we do and
the quality of water we supply for the Groundwater Replenishment System.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
By providing tours, community outreach education, and general communication via the
Sanitation District's website, social media outlets, and mainstream media, we have the
ability to educate the community, local agencies, and businesses on the What2Flush
program, energy production, water recycling, biosolids, and our source control program.
This, in turn, results in a better quality of wastewater.
Page 1 of 2
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If we do not educate the community, local agencies, and area businesses about the
Sanitation District, we lose an opportunity to educate thousands of people about our
plants, source control, and the wastewater industry as a whole.

From Toilet to Tap:What Cities Need to Overcome to Make That Happen
Recycled sewage will be a part of more cities'water supplies in the future.But how do you get past the yuck
factor?
The city of Los Angeles aims to upgrade the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant,seen above,as part of a plan to
recycle 100%of its wastewater by 2035.
By Subs Harris-Lovett and David Sedlak
May 17,2019 11:05 a.m.ET
Would you drink recycled sewage?It's a question you may need to think about someday.
J
In recent years,the idea of creating a circular economy—in which all of the resources coming into am cities are
recycled after they are used—has taken hold.We now routinely recycle paper,glass and food scmps,as well as
parts of demolished buildings and crumbling highways.Widespread sewage recycling could be the next frontier.
Productively reusing sewage is nothing new.For centuries,people have used their wastes for irrigation.Then,
about 50 years ago,engineers developed technologies that allowed them to turn sewage back into drinking water.
Since then,water-stressed cities across the country have quietly begun in close the loop on their water systems.
Today more than four million Americans in Atlanta,Northern Virginia,Phoenix, Southern California,Dallas,and
El Paso,Texas,get some or all of their drinking water from treated sewage.
Many more cities are likely to follow that same path.Their current water supplies aren't likely to be adequate in
the future,given the many continuing stresses they face—in particular,droughts,the shifting and uncertain
precipitation patterns due to climate change,increasing urban populations,more-stringent regulations to protect
endangered fish or other wildlife,and the water needs of agriculture and industry.
One of its greatest benefits is that sewage keeps flowing even during droughts.And once it's purified to drinking-
water quality,it doesn't require the installation of any new pipes to carry it to people's homes.
But cities interested in taking the toilet-to-tap plunge must overcome several hurdles.
Overcoming reluctance
First,of course,the sewage needs to be made clean enough to drink.Fortunately,modern technologies can
produce recycled water that is even cleaner than much of the drinking water we get from rivers,lakes and
groundwater wells.Reverse-osmosis membranes remove bacteria,viruses,pharmaceuticals and other chemicals
in sewage.Follow that with exposure to ultraviolet light and hydrogen peroxide to mop up anything that gets
through the membranes,and you have water that meets all drinking-water standards.In fact,recycled water can
be so clean that,just like the popular brands of bottled water produced by the reverse-osmosis process,minerals
have to be added back in in make it taste like the water we're familiar with.
The next hurdle is surmounting the disgust associated with drinking recycled water.In other words,the yuck
factor.Treated sewage has long been widely used to water lawns and golf courses,without much fuss.But it's
obviously an entirely different story to ingest it,even if people know it's clean.
The yuck factor can seem like an insurmountable barrier,especially in an era when public confidence in the
safety of tap water has been shaken by reports of lead and fluorinated chemicals in water supplies.But it has
proved not to be.
Through decades of experience with sewage recycling—also known as potable water reuse—in different locales,
water utilities have learned that communities support potable water reuse when it meets a perceived need and is
managed by trusted and competent institutions.
To overcome the queasiness,utilities planning recycling projects conduct extensive outreach programs to address
community concerns.That can include community meetings,public toms of the utility's facilities that and with
an opportunity to drink recycled water,and bottles of recycled water being given away at public events.The
Orange County Water District in Southern California held thousands of tours and community meetings on its
potable reuse project.
Beyond sharing their story,water utilities cultivate public trust by demonstrating a commitment to transparency
and competency.The utilities that have overcome the yuck factor are the ones that include physicians and public-
health specialists on their oversight boards,invest in state-of-the-art treatment and monitoring technologies,make
their water-quality data public and otherwise go the extra mile when it comes to ensuring their process is safe and
reliable.
2
Retaining"at
Once the public is on board and utilities start recycling sewage,they need to be vigilant to ensure that the water
remains safe to drink.Treatment plants should continuously monitor for contaminants of all kinds,noljust those
they are required to watch for by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and local regulatory agencies.
When a new contaminant is discovered or when an unexpected hiccup happens in the treatment process,the
utility has to respond before public health and/or confidence are compromised.
That requires investment in the people and equipment needed to stay ahead of the curve.For example,in the late
1990s,N-nitresodimethylamine(NDMA)—a potent carcinogen—was detected in recycled water by the Orange
County Water District.The utility surmised that local industries were discharging chemicals into the sewer that
its water-treatment processes were converting into NDMA.Rather than falling back on the excuse that there
wasn't an established drinking-water standard for the chemical,the utility suspended recycling operations until it
developed ways to reduce these industrial NDMA-precursor discharges to the sewer,as well as minimize NDMA
formation during treatment by acquiring new approaches for destroying the chemical in its treatment processes.
This response wasn't cheap:It required investing millions of dollars in research and development despite the
absence of a government mandate to do so.Considering the cash-strapped state of utilities in many of the nation's
cities,it is worth considering how the vigilance of the early adopters can be replicated by the next set of water-
recycling utilities.
Let it flow
Another concern looms as potable water reuse becomes more common:In and regions,treated wastewater is all
that keeps some rivers flowing in the dry season.Parts of the Los Angeles River,where canoeing is becoming
more popular,would no longer flow if the city expanded its potable water reuse program.If Dallas recycled more
sewage,Houston's water supplies could suffer:The Trinity River,which consists primarily of Dallas's treated
sewage during periods when it hasn't been raining,would no longer help refill one of Houston's main reservoirs.
(The water from the river is made
acceptable for drinking by natural purification during the long trip downstream and Houston's drinking-water
treatment plants.)Some of these issues can be circumvented with agreements with downstream users before
potable reuse systems are built,but this issue is likely to grow in importance as more cities our to water
recycling.
Finally,it's important to note that potable water reuse is expensive,so ifs unlikely that a city would consider it in
the absence of significant concerns about its water supply.
Ultimately,in cities that can make a case for recycled water,the future of potable water reuse depends upon the
willingness of water providers to do what it takes to make sure that the public can be confident about the quality
of water coming out of their tap.

Orange County Sanitation District selects new environmental
director
Daily Pilot staff- May 24, 2019
The Fountain Valley-based Orange County Sanitation District has chosen Lan
Wiborg as its new director of environmental services.
Wiborg has served in the water industry for about two decades, with roles including
San Diego's deputy public utilities director of long-range planning and water
resources.
"Lan was selected from a talented pool of candidates," Orange County Sanitation
District General Manager Jim Herberg said in a statement. "Her longstanding
relationships within the regulatory community and within the water and
wastewater industry will be extremely valuable when it comes to managing OCSD's
environmental and regulatory programs."

Nguyen joins field for appointment to water board
seat; she faces 6 rivals
Unprecedented interest in Municipal Water District of Orange County after tunnel project
affecting SoCal is killed
By Brooke Staggs
bstaggs(a).scng.com @JournoBrooke on Twitter
May 24, 2019
After much speculation about whether Janet Nguyen might run for one of Orange County's
hotly contested congressional seats in 2020, the Republican former state senator has
thrown her hat in a surprising ring.
And she's not alone. Nguyen is one of seven people vying to fill a board of directors seat
with the Municipal Water District of Orange County. The seat was left vacant after director
Wayne Osborne, who was elected to a four-year term in 2016, retired in late April.
"I was really heartened to see someone from that level interested in serving on our board;'
district board President Brett Barbra said of Nguyen.
With an applicant roster that also includes former city councilmen and a current school
board member, Barbre —who's been on the water board since 2000—called the level of
interest in working on the water board "unprecedented:'
He attributes part of that spike in interest to decisions recently handed down from the state,
including Gov. Gavin Newsom's May 2 move to kill a controversial 30-year plan to build
twin tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to help move water to the
south.
5
Indeed, several candidates— including Nguyen — mentioned the twin tunnels project in
their water board applications.
"That's really heightened interest in water issues," Barbre said. "I think that irresponsibility
across the state is driving a lot of this."
Metropolitan Water is a wholesale water supplier. It buys water imported from the Colorado
River and the State Water Project and sells it to 28 city water departments and private
water districts. Those agencies supply water to more than two-thirds of Orange County,
including every city except Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana.
A seven-member board oversees the district's $10.8 million operating budget and nearly
$250 million in annual water sales.
Board members can take home more than $30,000 a year in pay and are eligible for
benefits that can amount to another $20,000 a year. That includes nearly $300 for every
meeting attended, at up to 10 meetings per month, along with optional health insurance
coverage, a retirement plan, transportation reimbursement and more.
Directors are elected every four years to represent different areas of the county. Osborne's
vacant seat is for Division 3, which includes Cypress, Fountain Valley, Los Alamitos,
Stanton and Westminster plus portions of Garden Grove and unincorporated Orange
County.
Nguyen now lives in Fountain Valley. She pointed out that she's represented more than 90
percent of the water district's Division 3 over the last decade in her elected roles on the
Garden Grove City Council, county Board of Supervisors and state Senate.
There were originally nine candidates for the MWDOC seat. Los Alamitos Councilman
Richard Murphy applied for the vacancy and was backed by several local leaders, including
First District Supervisor Andrew Do. But once Murphy discovered he couldn't
simultaneously sit on the water board and keep his seat on the Los Alamitos City Council,
he withdrew his name from consideration.
At least two other candidates might face similar decisions if appointed to the water district
seat. Khanh Nguyen is a civil engineer who already serves on the Westminster School
District board, and Betty Burnett, an attorney from Fountain Valley, serves as general
manager at South Orange County Wastewater Authority.
Other candidates include former Fountain Valley Mayor Larry Crandall, former Garden
Grove mayor pro tem Kris Beard, former Fountain Valley planning commissioner Robert
McVicker, construction marketing manager Mathew Forester and former Los Alamitos
school board member Jeffrey Barke.
Barka, a physician who helps with regional disaster preparedness, received an
endorsement from County Supervisor Michelle Steel, who recently announced that she is
running against Rep. Harley Rouda, D-Laguna Beach, for the 48th Congressional District.
6
Nguyen was rumored to also be eyeing that CA-48 seat. She declined to elaborate
Thursday on her future plans, saying only that if appointed to the water board she'll run for
re-election in 2020.
The water district board is expected to appoint a candidate to fill Osborne's vacant seat at
Wednesday's meeting.
Barbra said he'd prefer to have residents vote on who'll hold the seat for the next 19
months, but he couldn't get support from the rest of the board to hold a special election that
might cost$1 million.

AS CALIFORNIANS SAVE MORE WATER, THEIR
SEWERS GET LESS AND THAT'S A PROBLEM
WESTERN WATER NOTEBOOK: LOWER FLOWS DAMAGE EQUIPMENT,
CONCENTRATE WASTE AND STINK UP NEIGHBORHOODS; SHOULD
WATER CONSERVATION FOCUS SHIFT OUTDOORS?

Californians have been doing an exceptional job reducing their indoor water use, helping the
state survive the most recent drought when water districts were required to meet
conservation targets. With more droughts inevitable, Californians are likely to face even
greater calls to save water in the future.
However, less water used in the home for showers, clothes washing and toilet flushing
means less water flowing out and pushing waste through the sewers. That has resulted in
corroded wastewater pipes and damaged equipment, and left sewage stagnating and
neighborhoods stinking. Less wastewater, and thus more concentrated waste, also means
higher costs to treat the sewage and less recycled water for such things as irrigating parks,
10
replenishing groundwater or discharging treated flows to rivers to keep them vibrant for fish
and wildlife.
It's a complex problem with no easy answers. Some water agencies even have suggested
the state needs to push more conservation efforts to outdoor water use rather than indoor
use to keep wastewater flowing. For now, local sanitation agencies are beginning to assess
how best to respond with changes in how they operate—and how they plan for a future that
will inevitably include more droughts.
"Indoor water savings are good, but the flip side is, as you get lower [use] ... at what point are
you causing more harm than the benefit you are getting from saving those drops of water?."
said Adam Link, director of operations with the California Association of Sanitation Agencies.

Link said his organization had heard anecdotal accounts of problems, but that they varied
depending on location. Wastewater agencies generally handled problems through operational
changes such as increased chemical treatment.
A recent report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) quantified the problem,
finding in a survey of wastewater agencies, that one-fifth of respondents indicated increased
corrosion of collection systems due to declining influent quality.
The PPIC's report released in April, Managing Wastewater in a Changing Climate, said the
wastewater treatment sector"is at a turning point," with drought posing the biggest challenge.
The report suggested action is needed to improve coordination between water suppliers and
wastewater agencies to ensure that water conservation efforts in the urban sector can be
accounted for as part of the short- and long-term planning on the treatment side.
"Wastewater managers would benefit from knowing which demand management strategies
are deployed, when and where the strategies are being implemented, and how much indoor
11
water savings are expected over time,' according to the report. It noted that the California
Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board could help
facilitate better exchange of information and provide guidance for integrating water supply
and wastewater planning.
"Indoor water savings are good,but the flip side is, as you get lower [use] ... at what point are
you causing more harm than the benefit you are getting from saving those drops of water?"
—Adam Link, director of operations with the California Association of Sanitation Agencies
Link agreed that as wastewater agencies plan for future treatment capacity and the projected
demand for recycled water, they should be included in discussions about further reductions in
water use — and how reduced flows affect the planning and sizing of recycled water projects.
The state has set a goal of developing at least 2.5 million acre-feet a year of recycled water
by 2030.
Rob Thompson, assistant general manager of the Orange County Sanitation District, said his
agency has planned for changing flow patterns based on factors such as economic activity
and the amount of rain received.
"When people talk about low flow, it's really one of a plethora of items which are really about
resilience," he said. "We are consistently planning ... with our operations, maintenance and
engineering to deal with those changes."

The district receives about 185 million gallons of sewage each day from more than 2 million
people in north central Orange County (185 million gallons would fill a football field 515 feet
12
deep). One hundred million gallons of that treated wastewater is put back to work to irrigate
parks, schools and golf courses and help combat seawater intrusion.
The district's collection system and manholes have been protected from corrosion since the
1960s and for the last decade, chemical treatment has been used to block formation of
odorous and corrosion-causing compounds, said Thompson, noting that the district has been
granted patents for its processes.
Re-evaluating Water Conservation Strategies
The 2012-2016 drought was the driest in recorded state history. The extent of the impacts
from reduced sewage flows — corrosion, odor problems as sewage pools in neighborhood
pipes and increased salinity—surprised some people. The episode highlights what's needed
in the future.
"We know the next drought is coming. This is our reality to manage and adapt to," said Jelena
Hartman, senior scientist with the State Water Board, at PPIC's April panel presentation on
the report.
"California policy on long-term water use efficiency should prioritize outdoor water use
restrictions, which will have a lower impact on interconnected water systems, to achieve
statewide demand management goals."
— 2017California Urban Water Agencies white paper,Adapting to Change: Utility ustems
and Declining Flows
Because many rivers rely on treated wastewater for water quality and flow, reductions in
discharges can add to the environmental impacts on rivers when drought strikes, Hartman
said. Less water flowing to rivers —whether from treatment plants, street runoff or
stormwater flows — affects overall environmental quality.
"It's not just water recycling," she said. "We are talking about low-impact development,
capturing storm flows and reducing urban runoff."
Meanwhile, the drive to ratchet down water use in California begs the question of whether
conservation efforts could eventually shift because of the impacts to the wastewater sector. A
2018 law sets indoor consumption goals at 55 gallons per person per day, with the figure
dropping to 52.5 gallons in 2025 and 50 gallons in 2030. It's up to water agencies to work
with users to meet the goals.
13
Ina 2017 white paper, Adapting to Change: Utility Systems and Declining Flows, California
Urban Water Agencies (CUWA) noted that while saving water indoors is an important
element of water management programs, more must be done to manage all future water
demands. CUWA is an association of 11 major California urban water agencies.
"California policy on long-term water use efficiency should prioritize outdoor water use
restrictions, which will have a lower impact on interconnected water systems, to achieve
statewide demand management goals," the white paper said.
Outdoor water use varies greatly in the state, accounting for as little as 25 percent of a
household's use in coastal areas and as much as 80 percent in the hotter inland regions.

wastewater discharges are important sources of water to help maintain river vitality.(Image:Southern California Coastal
Water Research Project)
On the environmental side, work is underway to quantify the impact of reduced discharges to
surface waters. In Los Angeles, a coalition of state and local agencies are collaborating with
the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project on a two-year study launched last
fall to determine what happens when treated wastewater effluent and runoff usually sent to
the Los Angeles River is diverted for recycling.
Researchers are looking at how vulnerable species and habitats along a 45-mile stretch of
the lower reach of the river respond to flow reductions with an eye toward developing
recommended flow targets by season and section of the river.
What's Next
When drought returns to California and people do their part to conserve water, use levels will
again drop, perhaps even to record-low levels. Wastewater treatment agencies will again be
14
faced with even less flows. Thompson, with the Orange County Sanitation District, said
agencies should use their regular retrofit and upgrade schedule to measure their resilience.

"You don't design for one little problem," he said. "You look at the overall condition of your
treatment plant and look at opportunities to replace outdated infrastructure with more focused
infrastructure that meets the new needs you are facing:'
The state, PPIC said, should help the wastewater sector and direct its funding assistance
toward regional approaches to planning and research.
"The state also has a responsibility to evaluate its own policies for areas of conflict between
water use efficiency, recycled water production and environmental flows," the report said.
"The state needs to be clear about the inevitable tradeoffs associated with these goals and
help set priorities:"
There also needs to be better delineation between what's happening with the long-term trend
of reduced indoor water use and the impact drought has on that use.
"That is one of the unanswered questions," Link said. "Is there going to be a bounce back [in
water use after a drought] or is there where we are and what we have to plan for?"

McCormick: Special Districts Stress
Focused Services, Prudent Planning
4
By NEIL MCCORMICK June 15, 2019
Special districts often don't receive as much attention as other types of government.
Unfortunately, when they do, it is sometimes inaccurate or even misleading. In fact,
some news reports have published without even contacting us to ask questions. The
truth is that we welcome the opportunity to share facts about how special districts
operate and manage their fiscal health as they provide essential local services and
infrastructure to millions of Californians.
16
In Orange County, special districts provide utilities to some of the area's best
planned communities. They provide sanitation and water services throughout the
region, park and recreation services, mosquito and vector control, and even maintain
cemeteries. The award-winning Placentia Library District exists because voters
created this special district that has become a community treasure.
Recently, a few critics have opined that special districts save unnecessarily large
amounts of reserves, citing a seriously flawed Little Hoover Commission report from
nearly 20 years ago. It's unusual to hear people complain that government is being
too prudent and not spending enough money, but there's always room for
improvement. Fortunately, the more recent Commission study of 2017 drew more
balanced conclusions and used more relevant, accurate information and
methodology. It stated that special districts are the "workhorses" of public service
delivery, but that they could do a better job of telling their story. We agree.
Yet still, those who hope to find fault will find it. One recent Orange County media
report on special districts prominently cited a quote from Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association President Jon Coupal, who said that it was his opinion that "government
entities" were "hoarding" money. The problem is that Coupal's predictable stance
was in reference to government generally, not just special districts as portrayed by
the article. In his full testimony, Coupal went on to stress that he does not see special
districts as inherently "good or bad."
The same article that misinterpreted Coupal's quote, sought to demonstrate the
alleged "hoarding" of money by adding up the total assets and savings of every
special district,joint powers authority, and even some corporations and calling it all
special district reserves. This was also problematic, considering the largest entity
they included was not a special district. It was the Inland Empire Health Plan, which
is a not-for-profit Medi-Cal and Medicare health plan with nearly $2 billion in assets.
17
The article also failed to recognize the difference between investments in
infrastructure and cash on hand—big difference.
When analyzing local governance, it's important to gather the right data. It's also
necessary to correctly interpret the data. Asking the local agencies themselves is a
good start to an accurate assessment.
For example, most special districts provide services using highly specialized
infrastructure that make it difficult to compare their financial needs with general
purpose governments, such as cities and counties. While general purpose
governments typically spend a large portion of their general fund on personnel and
day-to-day programs, most special districts are different. For instance, a small water
district may employ relatively few people but must budget for developing and
maintaining a complex and highly-engineered delivery system and facilities.
Planning and saving for the eventual replacement of that infrastructure is responsible
management.
But again, we do agree with critics on that one key point: special districts can do
more to tell their story. Because special district services aren't typically
controversial, like most of the issues dominating today's media, they get less
coverage. Very few struggling newspapers are going to send a reporter to cover dry,
technical meetings, despite our pleas that they do so and our efforts to offer
interesting public happenings. But lack of controversy does not mean special district
services are insignificant. That is why the California Special Districts Association
and our members work so hard to get media coverage of our issues and we are
grateful for the few opportunities we get to speak out, such as the Voice of OC has
provided us.
Special districts focus on providing a single, specialized service or small suite of
services as requested and approved by the voters. They are formed to meet a local
18
need with local control. And, they are able to be efficient and effective because they
are experts specializing in local service. Virtually all special districts want their
communities to better understand their services and issues, and we will continue to
shout out their stories at every opportunity.
Interested readers can learn more about special districts at Districts Make The
Difference. Now through September 30, high school and college students may visit
this site to compete for a scholarship by submitting a short video about special
districts serving their community.
Neil McCormick is the chief executive officer of the California Special Districts
Association which promotes good governance and improved local services through
professional development, advocacy, and other services for all types of independent
special districts.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Right of Entry Agreement for Orange County Transportation Authority,
and its authorized agents, to enter upon Orange County Sanitation District's
property located on the north side of Westminster Boulevard, East of Springdale
Street, in Westminster, CA adjacent to the Interstate 405 Freeway for temporary
use in connection with its project to widen the Interstate 405 Freeway for a term of
four (4) years from the 30-day notice prior to the beginning of construction, in a
form approved by Special Counsel; and
B. Direct the Clerk of the Board to record the Agreement with the Orange County
Clerk-Recorder.
BACKGROUND
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is widening the Interstate 405 Freeway
between SR-73 and 1-605. The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District)
was notified by OCTA of its plans to acquire, through eminent domain, the Sanitation
District's parcel in Westminster for a period of 5-years. Staff responded to the notification
informing OCTA of the Sanitation District's sewer facilities and a manhole within that
parcel. The sewer facilities must be maintained in the interest of public health. Through
collaboration, it was proposed that both agencies could use this site concurrently through
a Right of Entry agreement.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders,
and neighboring communities
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District needs access to its facilities within its parcel in the city of
Westminster 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and OCTA needs to access the same
parcel while widening the Interstate 405 Freeway.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Both agencies will access this parcel. OCTA will leave a clear driveway from Westminster
Boulevard to the manhole and keep a clearing of a 10-foot radius around the manhole so
Sanitation District staff can perform inspections, scheduled maintenance, emergency
repairs, and chemical dosing. OCTA will use the rest of the parcel to safely access the
Interstate 405 work area.
TIMING CONCERNS
OCTA expects to start using this area within the year.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without the Right of Entry Agreement, the Sanitation District would have no access to its
facilities within this parcel.

RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
(this"Agreement")
Permission is hereby granted to the Orange County Transportation Authority, a public entity ("OCTA') or its
authorized agents, to enter upon certain real property owned by the Orange County Sanitation District (formerly
known as County Sanitation District No. 3 of Orange County) ("Owner") located on the north side of Westminster
Boulevard, East of Springdale Street,Westminster, CA 92683(the Trope ")for temporary use in connection with
the project to widen the Interstate 405 Freeway (1-405) and accomplishing all necessary incidents thereto. The
Property is legally described and depicted in the attached Exhibit "All" and Exhibit "AT', respectively, and
identified on the Right of Way map in the attached Exhibit"B".
OCTA shall have no obligation to pay any compensation to Owner of the Property for permission to enter the
subject Property and to construct the project. Owner hereby fully and forever waives and relinquishes any and all
right and entitlement that Owner has or may have to receive compensation for such permission to access and use
the Property on the terms set forth in this Agreement as well as any and all rights Owner has or may have to exercise
any remedy authorized by law to secure payment or other compensation of any kind therefor.
This permission is granted by Owner freely and voluntarily in consideration of the location, improvement, and
construction of the above-described freeway improvements and incidents thereto, which Owner understands are
required by OCTA.
OCTA understands that there is a manhole cover on the surface of the Property(the"Manhole')that is Owners
only means of access to an actively-used 60-inch sewer pipe (the "Sewer Pipe"), and that notwithstanding the
permission granted to OCTA in this Agreement, Owner must at all times continue to have the ability to access said
Manhole and Sewer Pipe in order to perform scheduled, unscheduled, and emergency repairs, chemical dosing,
inspections, and maintenance work. As such, Owner grants the foregoing permission to OCTA subject to the
following restrictions on use of the Property by OCTA and its authorized agents:
A. Neither OCTA nor any authorized agents of OCTA shall place, store, or leave construction materials,
equipment,vehicles,or other items on the Property in a manner or location,or at a time,that prevents,limits,
or interferes with Owner's immediate access to the Manhole and the Sewer Pipe, it being understood by
OCTA that in the event of any damage to, or rupture or breakage of, the Sewer Pipe, Owner will need the
immediate and unobstructed ability to enter, access, and exit the Property with multiple large vehicles and
equipment to repair the Sewer Pipe and to take the necessary actions to mitigate the public health concerns
associated with such damage to, rupture, or breakage of the Sewer Pipe.
B. At any time that OCTA and its authorized agents have any construction materials, equipment, vehicles, or
other items located on the Property that prevent, limit, or interfere with Owners immediate access to the
Manhole and the Sewer Pipe with multiple large vehicles and equipment, OCTA and its authorized agents:
(i) must have a written, Owner-approved emergency plan in place for removal from the Property and
relocation of such construction materials, equipment, vehicles, and other items; (it)there must be at least
one person on site at the Property with the knowledge and authority to commence and ensure completion
of OCTA's performance of such emergency plan; and (iii) OCTA and/or its authorized agents must have
sufficient personnel available at or near the Property to fully accomplish such emergency plan within one(1)
hour from when Owner gives the first notice to OCTA of its need to access the Manhole and Sewer Pipe.
C. Prior to the first entry onto the Property by OCTA or its authorized agents, OCTA shall deliver to Owner a
copy of the written emergency plan referenced in Paragraph B above,which written emergency plan shall
include,among other things,the contact information and protocal for Owner to ratify OCTA of Owners need
to enter the Property to perform repairs, chemical dosing, inspections, or maintenance work and, if
applicable, to notify OCTA that the written emergency plan must be put into effect. OCTA must have the
ability to contact OCTA or its designated representative for such purposes 24 hours per day, seven days
per week while this Agreement is in effect.
D. OCTA shall give immediate notice to Owner if OCTA or any of its authorized agents causes,contributes to,
or becomes aware of any actual,threatened,or suspected damage to or rupture or breakage of the Sewer
Pipe or the Manhole. Such notice shall be given to Owner by telephone at Owner's Control Center,which
is staffed 24 hours per day,seven days per week. The Control Center telephone number is(714)593-7025.
OCTA shall indemnify and hold harmless Owner,from any loss,liability,or expense which Owner may sustain
arising out of the use of the Property by OCTA and its authorized agents,except to the extent such loss a damage
is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Owner,or its employees,officers,agents,or pennittees.
It is understood that when OCTA:s need for use of the Property ceases, OCTA shall discontinue all use of the
Property by OCTA and its authorized agents and return the Property to Owner free of debris and in a graded,
compacted, and drivable condition, with the surface re-paved using an American Association of State Highway
Transportation Officials(AASHTO)H-20 load-weighted asphalt. This Agreement and the permission granted herein
shall expire four(4)years from the date on which Owner receives from OCTA, or its authorized agents,a 30day
notice prior to the beginning of construction.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: FIRST AMENDMENT TO 800 MHZ LEASE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to the 800 MHz Lease Agreement with the County of
Orange with the following modifications, in a form approved by Special Counsel:
• Term of Lease shall expire May 4, 2023; with an optional one (1) additional
five-year period
• Increase the annual lease rate from $0.42 per square foot to $0.52 per square foot
• Decrease the site footprint from 10,000 square feet to 4,784 square feet before
December 31, 2019
BACKGROUND
In 1998, Orange County Sanitation District(Sanitation District) entered into an agreement
with the County of Orange (County)to lease space at Treatment Plant No. 2 allowing the
Orange County Sheriffs Department to construct, operate, and maintain a radio
mobile/wireless communication system and appurtenant structures including an antenna
tower. The term of the lease was for 20 years. The Sanitation District provided the
required advanced notice to the County of its intent to not renew the lease upon expiration
of the original term, due to the Sanitation District's need for additional space to construct
infrastructure to support its operations. Subsequently,the County provided the Sanitation
District with notice of its intent to exercise its first of two options to extend the term of the
Lease for an additional five (5) years.
Working collaboratively, it was determined that the County would reduce its footprint
allowing space for the Sanitation District's construction and expansion projects and the
associated staging, laydown, and traffic flows.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders,
and neighboring communities
• Commitment to safety& reducing risk in all operations
Page 1 d 2
PROBLEM
In 1998, when this lease was established, the Sanitation District had adequate space for
the County's project. However, the Sanitation District has expanded its operations,
committed to full secondary treatment, is working on the final expansion of the Ground
Water Replenishment System, and has continued to construct infrastructure to support
its operations. Space is now limited, and the Communication Tower is at the center of
several key Sanitation District projects.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Reduce the footprint of the Communication Tower's appurtenances reserving room for
both the County's infrastructure and Sanitation District construction projects.
TIMING CONCERNS
Due to upcoming construction projects in the area, it is necessary for the Orange County
Sheriffs Communication Tower site to be fully downsized by December 31, 2019.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If the Orange County Sheriff's footprint is not reduced, there will be impacts to the
Sanitation District construction projects due to the lack of staging areas, laydown areas,
and traffic paths around the Communication Tower vicinity at Treatment Plant No. 2.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
March 1998 - Authorized staff to enter into a Lease Agreement with the County for
installation of an 800MHz system at Plant No. 2 for a period of twenty (20) years.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The First Amendment to the Lease Agreement is dated to coincide with the expiration of
the Original Lease Agreement, which is dated May 5, 1998.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lan Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services
SUBJECT: COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER
MANAGEMENT FUNDING IN THE SANTA ANA FUNDING AREA
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Cooperative Agreement among the County of Orange, Orange County
Sanitation District, Orange County Water District (collectively referred to as Orange
County Parties), and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority(SAWPA), a joint powers
authority, for the Orange County Parties agreeing to remain a part of the Santa Ana
Funding Area covered by the One Water One Watershed (OWOW)Plan for a period of
ten (10) years, from date of execution.
BACKGROUND
The CA Department of Water Resources (DWR) administers the state's Integrated
Regional Water Management(IRWM)program. Grants under this program are managed
through state-approved "Regions". Integrated water resource planning is valuable in
identifying opportunities for actions that create multiple benefits and resolve or avoid
conflicts in the watershed, and in promoting and improving collaboration across
jurisdictions and functions.
DWR requires that an IRWM plan be adopted by three agencies responsible for
management of water resources. Thus, Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) and other agencies in Orange County have completed the IRWM Plan for the
north and central areas of Orange County (OC Plan).
In June 2018, the Board adopted the OC Plan for Integrated Regional Water Management
in North and Central Orange County(dated March 2018), and approved participation in a
Memorandum of Understanding between the Sanitation District, the Orange County
Water District, and the County of Orange for Integrated Regional Water Management in
North and Central Orange County Watershed Management Areas. The Board also
authorized staff to submit applications for the State of California's IRWM grants under
Proposition 1 for projects prioritized within the OC Plan.
This Agreement serves to memorialize an agreement among the Orange County Parties
and SAWPA whereby, in exchange for the Orange County Parties agreeing to forego
efforts to form a separate region in the Santa Ana Funding Area for the OC Plan, and,
instead, remain a part of the Santa Ana Funding Area covered by the OWOW Plan,
SAWPA agrees to abide by the terms and conditions stated within the Agreement, in all
Page 1 of 3
rounds of grant funding administered by the State of California under Proposition 1 and
any subsequent IRWM grant programs.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
• Secure outside funding (grants)for recycled water or other capital programs
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders
and neighboring communities
• Meet volume and water quality needs for the GW RS
PROBLEM
If adopted by DWR, the OC Plan would be recognized as a separate region in the Santa
Ana Funding Area that is previously covered by the OWOW Plan.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
This Agreement serves to integrate the OC and OWOW Plans and establish how IRWM
funds will be allocated for projects in the OC and OWOW Plans. Thirty percent (30%) of
the IRWM general implementation grant funds will be allocated to projects in the OC Plan
and unspent funds in any multi-round grant process will carryover to OC Plan projects in
the next round.
The remaining seventy percent (70%) of the IRWM general implementation grant funds
will be allocated to projects in the OWOW Plan, with ten percent(10%) being allocated to
projects that benefit both the upper and lower watersheds and sixty percent (60%) being
allocated to projects that benefit the upper watershed.
Disadvantaged community (DAC) implementation funds will be treated separately and
allocated in accordance with the OWOW Plan and will not count against the thirty percent
(30%) OC Plan allocation.
TIMING CONCERNS
An executed Agreement needs to be in place for the Orange County Parties and SAWPA
to comply with grant application requirements.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Orange County Parties (which include the Sanitation District)and other entities within
the Santa Ana Funding Area will not be able to meet DWR Proposition 1 IRWM grant
requirements.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER
MANAGEMENT FUNDING IN THE SANTA ANA FUNDING AREA
This Cooperative Agreement(Agreement),which shall have an effective date as of the date fully
executed by all parties hereto, is between the County of Orange, Orange County Sanitation
District, Orange County Water District(collectively referred to as Orange County Parties), and
the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority(SAWPA), ajoint powers authority. SAWPA and the
Orange County Parties are collectively referred to as the"Parties."
WHEREAS SAWPA is the Regional Water Management Group for the Santa Ana Funding
Area, for purposes of Integrated Regional Water Management(IRWM)project identification,
prioritization,proposal, and grant funding allocation with respect to the One Water One
Watershed(OWOW)Plan and any subsequent updates;
WHEREAS integrated planning at a regional scale is an important aspect of water resources
management that is valuable in identifying opportunities for actions that create multiple, regional
benefits and resolve or avoid conflicts in the watershed, and such integrated planning is valuable
in promoting and improving collaboration across jurisdictions and functions at both the
watershed scale and within significant parts of the watershed;
WHEREAS North Orange County comprises a significant part of the Santa Ana Funding Area,
including the San Gabriel River-Coyote Creek, Anaheim Bay Huntington Harbour, Newport
Bay, and Newport Coastal Streams sub-watersheds,where water management issues and
priorities, such as surface and coastal water quality, differ from those in the upper Santa Ana
River watershed;
WHEREAS the Orange County Parties,pursuant to an agreement amongst themselves,to wit,
the Memorandum of Understanding for Integrated Regional Water Management in North and
Central Orange County Watershed Management Areas, are a Regional Water Management
Group for purposes of development and implementation of an IRWM Plan;
WHEREAS the Orange County Parties have,with the collaboration of other North Orange
County stakeholders from the San Gabriel River-Coyote Creek, Anaheim Bay Huntington
Harbour, lower Santa Ana River,Newport Bay, and Newport Coastal Streams hydrologic units,
developed and adopted an IRWM Plan for North and Central Orange County, referred as to as
"the OC Plan,"which was developed and written to comply with State IRWM standards;
WHEREAS the hydrologic units represented in the OC Plan me currently part of the Santa Ana
Funding Area covered by the OWOW Plan;
1
WHEREAS prior to entering into this Agreement,the County of Orange submitted an
application to the California Department of Water Resources(DWR), to be recognized as a
separate region in the Santa Ana Funding Area, to operate independently of SAWPA for
purposes of project identification,prioritization,proposal, and grant funding allocation,with
respect to projects in the OC Plan;
WHEREAS this Agreement serves to memorialize an agreement between the Parties whereby,
in exchange for the Orange County Parties agreeing to forego efforts to form a separate region in
the Santa Ana Funding Area for the OC Plan, and, instead, remain a part of the Santa Ana
Funding Area covered by the OWOW Plan, SAWPA agrees to abide by the terms and conditions
stated herein, in all rounds of grant funding administered by the State of California under
Proposition 1 and any subsequent IRWM grant programs.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration,the sufficiency of which is
acknowledged by all Parties, and in light of the foregoing recitals, the Parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. INTEGRATION OF THE OC PLAN AND OWOW:
a. SAWPA has incorporated the OC Plan by reference in an appendix of the OWOW Plan.
SAWPA has made other revisions to the OWOW Plan before its adoption reflecting the
existence of the OC Plan and its interaction with the OWOW Plan. SAWPA will make
other amendments to the OWOW Plan in future updates or as required by DWR.
b. This Agreement determines how State grant funds for IRWM will be allocated for
projects in the OWOW Plan,which includes the OC Plan. Projects allocated funds
pursuant to Section 2a and 2b.i. below will not be rated/ranked by the OWOW Steering
Committee and will be reviewed by the Committee only for compliance with the
requirements of the applicable DWR project solicitation.
2. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION,RATING/RANKING, SELECTION,GRANT FUNDS
ALLOCATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
a. Projects in North and Central Orange County proposed for general implementation
IRWM grant funding will be rated, ranked and selected for funding by the processes in
the OC Plan and not by those in the OWOW Plan.
b. IRWM grant funds for the Santa Ana Funding Area will be distributed as follows:
i. Thirty percent(30%)of the IRWM general implementation grant funds will be
allocated to projects in the OC Plan selected pursuant to Section 2.a. In the event
that a portion of an allocation is not expended in one funding round of a multi-
round process, any unexpended funds shall be rolled over and added to the thirty
percent allocation for the next round.
2
ii. Ten percent(10%) of the general implementation grant funds will be allocated for
projects that benefit both the upper and the lower watersheds in the Santa Ana
Funding Area and selected by the process in the OWOW Plan. In the event that
selected projects that benefit both the upper and the lower watersheds in the Santa
Ana Funding Area do not expend any portion of the 10%allocation, any
unexpended funds shall be allocated as follows: thirty-four percent(34%)of any
unexpended funds will be allocated to projects selected through the OC Plan as
determined under Section 2.a. above, and sixty-six percent(66%)to projects
selected through the OWOW for the upper watershed(area in San Bernardino
County or Riverside County).
iii. Sixty percent(60%) of the general implementation grant funds will be allocated to
projects in the upper watershed selected by the process in the OWOW Plan. The
Parties agree that projects so selected will not be challenged for funding under
this agreement on the basis that the project will increase recycling or groundwater
recharge in the upper watershed. In the event that a portion of an allocation is not
expended in one funding round of a multi-round process, any unexpended funds
shall be rolled over and added to the sixty percent allocation for the next round.
iv. Disadvantaged Community(DAC)implementation funds, as defined by DWR,
shall be treated separately and will be allocated by the process in the OWOW Plan
to projects based on their direct and entire benefit to disadvantaged communities.
DAC-supported projects from North and Central Orange County submitted to
OWOW seeking DAC implementation funds will be eligible for this grant
funding subject to the selection process in the OWOW Plan and will not count as
part of the thirty percent (30%)OC Plan funding allocation as required under
2.b.i.
c. As agreed upon by the OWOW Steering Committee and SAWPA Commission, ten
percent(10%)of the total general implementation grant funding allocated to projects that
benefit the Santa Ana Funding Area under 2.b.ii,projects in the upper watershed under
2.b.iii, and DAC projects under 2.b.iv will be allocated to small budget projects that
requested grant funding less than or equal to$500,000.
d. SAWPA will administer the OWOW program and project grant contracting with DWR
and the funded projects' lead agencies.
i. In selecting and submitting projects per Section 2.a above,the Orange
County Parties will comply with a mutually agreed upon schedule and
information requirements for submittals to be included in State-led
processes related to IRWM funding such as grant applications,workshops
and site visits.
ii. Five percent(5%) of DWR Proposition 1 IRWM grant funds assigned to
the Santa Ana Funding Area will be used for SAWPA's administration of
IRWM funding.
3
iii. The Parties recognize that the overall number of projects funded under
each round of Proposition 1 will need to be limited to ensure SAWPA
grant administration is effective and efficient. The number of individual
projects in the OC Plan which are funded under the allocation required in
section 2.b.i is limited to four(4) for Round 1 of Proposition 1,unless
SAWPA determines that additional projects can be supported.
iv. SAWPA will be responsible for executing a funding agreement with the
lead agency and or project proponent for each project selected for IRWM
grant funds.
v. Agreement of the Parties will be required for any request for DWR to
modify or consolidate the funding rounds of Proposition 1.
3. WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR SEPARATE REGION IN SANTA ANA
FUNDING AREA: Upon execution of this Agreement by all Parties, the Orange County
Parties agree to withdraw its application to DWR for recognition as a region in the Santa Ana
Funding Area, and agree not to seek such approval so long as SAWPA is not in breach of any
of its obligations under this Agreement, or until such time as the Agreement is terminated.
4. GOVERNANCE: The OWOW Steering Committee (SC)will continue to function as the
advisory body to the SAWPA Commission as defined in the January 15, 2013 Santa Ana
IRWMP OWOW Governance document, but shall, in its recommendations, adhere to the
terms of Section 1 and 2 of this Agreement.
5. MODIFICATION: The terms of this Agreement may be amended only in writing executed
by all of the Parties. This Agreement may not be modified in effect by changes in policies of
any of the Parties without amending this Agreement per this section. The Parties shall review
this Agreement after completion of Proposition 1 Round 1 project selection and grant funds
allocation, and at least once every three years from the effective date, and the Parties shall
revise if necessary.
6. AUTHORITY: The individuals executing this Agreement each represent and warrant that they
have the legal power, right and actual authority to bind their respective entities to the terms
and conditions hereof and thereof.
7. COUNTERPARTS: This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Four (4) duplicate originals of this Agreement shall be executed each of which
shall be deemed to be an original.
4
8. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION: The existence, validity, construction,
operation and effect of this Agreement and all of its terms and provisions shall be determined
in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
9. TERM and TERMINATION: This Agreement shall have an initial term of ten years from
the effective date. After the initial tern, the Agreement shall automatically renew for
successive terms of ten years each, unless,prior to expiration of the current term, one Party

Memorandum of Understanding for
Integrated Regional Water Management in
North and Central Orange County Watershed Management Areaµµs��
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made and entered into this LItly of
2018, by and between the County of Orange (County), Orange County Water
istrict (OCWD), and Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD). County, OCWD and
OCSD are collectively referred to as "the Parties."
WHEREAS, the municipalities and special districts in Orange County developed a
countywide Water Quality Strategic Plan that recommends the formation of three
Watershed Management Areas (WMAs) to better coordinate and implement collective
water resource management strategies, and the eleven watersheds in Orange County
were subsequently grouped into three Watershed Management Areas: North, Central,
and South.
WHEREAS, the North and Central Orange County WMAs comprise five hydrologic
units: San Gabriel River-Coyote Creek, Anaheim Bay Huntington Harbour, Santa Ana
River, Newport Bay, and Newport Coastal Streams, herein collectively referred to as
"the Region."
WHEREAS, Integrated Regional Water Management Plans (IRWMP Plan), defined in
California Water Code section 10530, et seq., have been previously prepared and
accepted for the North and Central Orange County WMAs, in 2011 and 2012,
respectively.
WHEREAS, Region stakeholders have collaborated to update and combine the two
existing IRWM Plans into one IRWM Plan for the Region, The OC Plan for IRWM in
North and Central Orange County ('The OC Plan").
WHEREAS, a "Regional Water Management Group" (RWMG) means a group in which
three or more local agencies, at least two of which have statutory authority over water
supply or water management, as well as those other persons who may be necessary for
the development and implementation of a plan that meets the requirements in Water
Code sections 10540 and 10541, participate by means of a joint powers agreement,
memorandum of understanding, or other written agreement, as appropriate, that is
approved by the governing bodies of those local agencies.
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to participate in an RWMG to oversee and implement
The OC Plan.
WHEREAS, this MOU is not intended to create a financial obligation on the part of any
of the RWMG members.
WHEREAS, any financial obligations for implementation of projects in The OC Plan
shall be determined through separate project implementation decisions and/or
agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1: Purpose
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to memorialize a mutual
understanding in the Region in order to increase coordination, collaboration and
communication in managing water resources, including implementation of The OC Plan.
SECTION 2: Governance and Committees
The Region shall be governed as described below.
Regional Water Management Group (RWMG)
The RWMG for the Region shall be comprised of the County, OCWD and OCSD. The
RWMG shall be responsible for guiding the updating and execution of The OC Plan,
establishing priorities for water resource needs, integrating water resource solutions
across traditional bounds, and jointly advocating for policies and funding that assist
these goals. The RWMG will provide administrative support for the Region and will
develop plans to fund implementation of The OC Plan as necessary.
Advisory Committee to the RWMG
The Advisory Committee shall consist of representatives of the RWMG and
representatives of the Newport Bay Watershed Executive Committee. The purpose of
the Advisory Committee is to provide leadership and guidance to the RWMG on
implementation of The OC Plan.
Planning Group
The Planning Group consisting of staff members of the Advisory Committee shall
provide day-today support for the development and implementation of The OC Plan,
and to manage stakeholder involvement.
Stakeholder Group
The Stakeholder Group, consisting of agencies, cities, interest groups, and any other
stakeholders within the Region, shall provide leadership in developing and updating The
OC Plan, propose projects to be included in the plan, and develop and approve the
project prioritization process and project ranking. The Stakeholder Group may create Ad
Hoc Working Groups and assign speck tasks to be completed by Ad Hoc Working
Groups.
Section 3: Goals
The goals of the collaborative effort undertaken pursuant to this MOU are:
To oversee the implementation and future updating of The OC Plan for the Region.
To improve and maximize coordination and collaboration of individual public, private
and non-profit agency plans, programs and projects within the region and with
neighboring regions for mutual benefit and optimal gain for the Region.
To help identify, develop and implement collaborative plans, programs and projects
which will improve water resource management in the Region.
To foster coordination, collaboration and communication between stakeholders, to
achieve greater efficiencies, and to enhance regional competitiveness for local, state
and federal grant funding.
Section 4: Additional Terms and Provisions
The OC Plan is a living document that will be updated periodically to reflect
accomplishments as well as changing water resource management issues.
Nothing in this MOU commits the RWMG members collectively or individually to a
particular program or a project. Specific projects developed within the Region are
separately proposed, reviewed and approved by the project sponsor. This MOU is not
intended to create a financial obligation on the part of any of the RWMG members.
The RWMG members will each consider adoption of The OC Plan to take the place of
any prior IRWM Plans for the Region. Any other agency or organization in the Region
may accept The OC Plan.
Appendices to the plan, including The OC Plan Project List and Ranking and
Prioritization of Goals and Strategies, may be updated and other routine updates may
be added by the Stakeholder Group without requiring agencies and organization to
formally re-adopt The OC Plan.
Section 5: Project Implementation Agreements
Implementation of any cost-shared programs shall be accomplished through project
implementation agreements among the project proponent, participating parties, and the
fiscal agent for local, state, or federal funding. The project proponent is the managing
party responsible for management of the program or project that is subject of the project
implementation agreement.
Section 6: Amendment
All Amendments to this MOU shall be in writing with the approval of all members of the
RWMG.
Section 7: Execution
This MOU may be executed in counterparts and has the same force and effect as if all
the signatures were obtained in one document. The term of the MOU shall commence
upon the date when all RWMG parties have executed the MOU.
Section 8: Withdrawal of Parties
Any RWMG member may withdraw its participation in this MOU upon ninety (90) days
prior written notice to all the other RWMG members, such withdrawal to be effective
ninety (90) days after the notice is received or deemed received.
Section 9: Liability
It is mutually understood and agreed that, merely by the virtue of entering into this
MOU, each RWMG member neither relinquishes any right nor assumes any liabilities
for its own actions or the actions of other RWMG members. It is the intent of the RWMG
that the rights and liabilities of each RWMG member shall remain the same, while this
MOU is in force, as it was before this MOU was made, except as otherwise specifically
provided in this MOU.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this MOU on the date
opposite their respective signatures.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT: RETURN ACTIVATED SLUDGE PIPING REPLACEMENT AT
ACTIVATED SLUDGE PLANT NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-129
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Receive and file Bid Tabulation and Recommendation for Return Activated Sludge
Piping Replacement at Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129;
B. Award a Construction Contract to Abhe & Svoboda, Inc. for Return Activated
Sludge Piping Replacement at Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-129,
for a total amount not to exceed $6,863,092; and
C. Approve a contingency of$686,309 (10%.).
BACKGROUND
Activated Sludge Plant No. 1, constructed in 1974, is one of the three biological treatment
processes at the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1. The
Activated Sludge Plant No. 1 is a part of the secondary treatment process and allows the
Sanitation District to meet its discharge permit conditions. The facility includes 230 feet
of 30-inch return activated sludge piping required to maintain operation of Activated
Sludge Plant No. 1 and supply the maximum available effluent to the Orange County
Water District for recycling.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction
contract to lowest responsive, responsible bidder
PROBLEM
The condition of this discharge pipe is compromised and it no longer provides reliable
service. Repair of leaks on this pipe has a direct impact on the operation and capacity of
the plant. As corrosion continues, the frequency of leakage is expected to become worse
and leaks more difficult to repair.
Page 1 of 3
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a construction contract for replacement of the Return Activated Sludge discharge
pipe header. The construction work will include full bypassing of return activated sludge
flow using three engine-driven bypass pumps that will become Sanitation District property
upon completion of the project. These pumps are scheduled to be used to provide
standby pump capacity during Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project
No. P1-105.
TIMING CONCERNS
Delays completing this work will increase the frequency of pipe leaks and the resulting
shutdowns, which will reduce the effluent available for the Groundwater Replenishment
System.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without this project, the pipe header will continue to corrode and leaks will become more
frequent.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District advertised Project No. P1-129 for bids on May 14, 2019 and five
sealed bids were received on June 24, 2019. A summary of the bid opening follows:
Engineer's Estimate $ 6,100,000
Bidder Amount of Bid
Abhe & Svoboda, Inc. $6,863,092
Myers & Sons Construction, LLC $7,035,000
MMC, Inc. $7,448,000
PCL Construction, Inc. $7,915,097
Stanek Constructors, Inc. $8,787,600
The bids were evaluated in accordance with the Sanitation District's policies and
procedures. A notice was sent to all bidders on July 10, 2019 informing them of the intent
of Sanitation District staff to recommend award of the Construction Contract to Abhe &
Svoboda, Inc. Other bidders had until close of business on July 17, 2019 to protest this
award.
Activated Sludge Plant No. 1 has an asset value of$548 million. A $127 million project
to extensively rehabilitate the related portion of the facilities is scheduled to start
Page 2 of 3
construction in 2032. By replacing the pipe header at this time, the need to start that
project earlier can be avoided.
CEQA
This project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in
California Code of Regulations Section 15301. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from
CEQA "the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing
at the time of the lead agency's determination," including "(b) Existing facilities of both
investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas,
sewerage, or other public utility services."
The project consists of minor alterations to existing public facilities.
A Notice of Exemption for this project was filed and recorded with the County of Orange
on May 25, 2017, after the Board of Directors approved the Professional Design Services
Agreement.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This project has been budgeted (FY2019-20 Budget Update, Appendix A,
Page A-10) and the budget will be sufficient if a separate action recommended by the
Operations Committee on July 10, 2019 to increase the project budget is approved by the
Board of Directors.

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.

have been furnished to and/or incorporated into the Work; or for any other
alleged contribution thereto. In addition to the foregoing and in accordance with
Civil Code§9358 OCSD may also satisfy its duty to withhold funds for stop
payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public
receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice
claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent

CONTRACTOR or OCSD which has not been communicated in writing
by the CONTRACTOR to OCSD as of the date of the certificate;
c. All warranties are in full force and effect, and;
d. The releases and the warranties shall survive Final Payment.

amounts of the open claims, and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the amounts of open stop payment notices referred to in article entitled
stop payment notices herein.

I hereby certify under penalty of perjury as follows:
That the claim for payment is in all respects true, correct; that the services mentioned
herein were actually rendered and/or supplies delivered to OCSD in accordance with the
Contract.
I understand that it is a violation of both the federal and California False Claims Ads to

A claim includes a demand or request for money. It is also a violation of the False
Claims Acts to knowingly make use of a false record or statement to get a false claim
paid. The term "knowingly" includes either actual knowledge of the information,
deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information, or reckless disregard for the
truth or falsity of the information. Proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary
under the False Claims Acts. I understand that the penalties under the Federal False
Claims Ad and State of California False Claims Act are non-exclusive, and are in
addition to any other remedies which OCSD may have either under contract or law.
I hereby further certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that:
1. The amounts requested are only for performance in accordance with the
Specifications, terms, and conditions of the Contract;
2. Payments to Subcontractors and Suppliers have been made from previous payments
received under the Contract, and timely payments will be made from the proceeds of
the payment covered by this certification;
3. This request for progress payments does not include any amounts which the prime
CONTRACTOR intends to withhold or retain from a Subcontractor or Supplier in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract; and
4. This certification is not to be construed as Final Acceptance of a Subcontractors
performance.

The agreement with the third party required them to demolish the facility after completion
of the project, with the exception of the concrete slabs and some miscellaneous utilities
and conduits. The remaining features limit the use of the space and pose a tripping
hazard. An unrelated obsolete boiler and its associated utilities are in the same area and
also limit the use of the space. The boiler facilities include piping running through utility
tunnels in the area.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Award a construction contract for demolition of the remaining fuel cell features and the
abandoned boilerand related utilities.
TIMING CONCERNS
The space occupied by the facilities to be demolished will be utilized by Digester Gas
Facilities Rehabilitation, Project No. J-124. This space will be needed by early 2022.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Demolition of the facilities would need to be included in Digester Gas Facilities
Rehabilitation, Project No. J-124, which would increase the cost of that project and delay
construction.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District advertised Project No. FE16-06 for bids on March 18, 2019 and
three sealed bids were received on April 30, 2019. A summary of the bid opening follows:
Engineer's Estimate $400,000
Bidder Amount of Bid
Innovative Construction Solutions $466,000
Mehta Mechanical Company, Inc. $474,000
Tharsos, Inc. $593,000
Page 2 d 4
The bids were evaluated in accordance with the Sanitation District's policies and
procedures. After evaluation, Innovative Construction Solutions (ICS), the apparent low
bidder, was found to be non-responsive:
• ICS's bid included subcontractor costs that resulted in a self-performance
percentage lower than the 30% minimum required in the Invitation for Bids. ICS
responded to a clarification request regarding this bid irregularity, stating an error
was made in their bid in that the amount for one of their listed subcontractors
included all the work of another listed subcontractor. ICS did not, however, provide
a formal notification regarding this error within two working days of the bid opening
as required by the California Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 4107.5.
Furthermore, ICS did not provide information as required by PCC Section 4107.5
to justify alleged error in their bid.
• It was determined that ICS's bid is non-responsive since it does not meet the 30%
self-performance requirements and ICS failed to meet the requirements of PCC
Section 4107.5 regarding delisting of a subcontractor and did not provide timely
notice of the error in their bid.
An evaluation of the second apparent low bidder, Mehta Mechanical Company, Inc.,
determined the bid to be both responsive and responsible. Based on this, an Award
Notice was sent to all the bidders on July 11, 2019 informing them of the intent of
Sanitation District staff to recommend award of the construction contract to Mehta
Mechanical Company, Inc. The protest period when other bidders can file their formal
objections to this recommended Award expires on July 18, 2019.
CEQA
The project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 and Class 2 categorical exemption
set forth in California Code of Regulations section 15301 and 15302. The Class 1
exemption exempts from CEQA 'Yhe operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing,
or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical
equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond
that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination." The CEQA Guidelines
emphasize that "the key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no
expansion of an existing use." Examples of projects qualifying for the Class 1 exemption
include, but are not limited to, "(b) Existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned
utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility
services," as well as "(I) Demolition and removal of individual small structures".
The project qualifies for the Class 1 exemption because it involves demolition, removal,
and disposal of abandoned facilities and equipment involving no expansion of use.
Moreover, the project involves existing facilities of a public-owned utility used to provide
electric power services and involves the "demolition and removal" of individual small
structures (boiler and fuel cell facilities) and associated electrical equipment. The project
therefore qualifies for the Class 1 exemption and is exempt from CEQA.
Page 3 of 4
The Class 2 categorical exemption exempts from CEQA those projects involving the
"replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure
replaced will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced."
This exemption includes, but is not limited to, projects involving the 'replacement or
reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no
expansion of capacity". (California Code of Regulations § 15302(c).)
The project qualifies for the Class 2 exemption because it involves the demolition,
removal, and disposal of abandoned facilities and equipment involving no expansion of
use. Moreover, the project involves solely the removal of existing utility systems, rather
than the removal and replacement of utility systems as explicitly covered in the Class 2
exemption. If removal and replacement of such systems are categorically exempt, then
so too is removal of such systems.
A Notice of Exemption will be filed with the OC Clerk-Recorder for this project after the
Board of Directors approves the construction award.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation DistricPs Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted under the Small Construction Projects Program
(M-FE), Budget Update Fiscal Year 2019-20, Appendix A, Page A-8, and the budget is
sufficient for the recommended action.

the Third Parties' insurance requirements and those set forth by OCSD herein, the
requirement(s) providing the more protective coverage for both OSCD and the Third Parties
shall control and be purchased and maintained by CONTRACTOR.
A. Limits of Insurance
1. General Liability: Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) per occurrence and a general
aggregate limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000)for bodily injury, personal injury

payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public
receipt of a release of stop payment notice executed by a stop payment notice
claimant, a stop payment notice release bond, an order of a court of competent

amounts of the open claims, and one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the amounts of open stop payment notices referred to in article entitled
stop payment notices herein.

final payment from each Subcontractor and Supplier providing Work under

ATTACHMENT 1 —CERTIFICATION FOR REQUEST FOR PAYMENT
I hereby certify under penalty of perjury as follows:
That the claim for payment is in all respects true, correct; that the services mentioned
herein were actually rendered and/or supplies delivered to OCSD in accordance with the
Contract.
I understand that it is a violation of both the federal and California False Claims Ads to
knowingly present or cause to be presented to OCSD a false claim for payment or
approval.
A claim includes a demand or request for money. It is also a violation of the False
Claims Acts to knowingly make use of a false record or statement to get a false claim
paid. The term "knowingly" includes either actual knowledge of the information,
deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information, or reckless disregard for the
truth or falsity of the information. Proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary
under the False Claims Acts. I understand that the penalties under the Federal False
Claims Ad and State of California False Claims Act are non-exclusive, and are in
addition to any other remedies which OCSD may have either under contract or law.
I hereby further certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that:
1. The amounts requested are only for performance in accordance with the
Specifications, terms, and conditions of the Contract;
2. Payments to Subcontractors and Suppliers have been made from previous payments
received under the Contract, and timely payments will be made from the proceeds of
the payment covered by this certification;
3. This request for progress payments does not include any amounts which the prime
CONTRACTOR intends to withhold or retain from a Subcontractor or Supplier in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract; and
4. This certification is not to be construed as Final Acceptance of a Subcontractors
performance.

La Pal
Los All OCSD has completed the evaluation of the Bid Innovative Construction Solutions
Newport Bea- (ICS) submitted for the referenced Project and has concluded that the Bid is
non-responsive.
Orange
Section SP-1 in the Special Provisions section of the Project's Invitation for Bids
Placentia requires the Contractor to complete thirty percent (30%) of the total Contract
Price. Failure to meet this requirement would deem the Bid non-responsive. The
Santa Ana Bid ICS submitted did not meet the 30% Contractor performance requirement.
Seal Beach OCSD informed ICS of this finding in a letter dated May 21, 2019. In response to
this letter, ICS informed OCSD that ICS' Bid erroneously listed D2 Industrial for
Stanton the lead and asbestos Work as that Work would be performed by BHL Industries.
Tustin Public Contract Code (PCC) section 4107(a) authorizes OCSD to allow a
Villa Park contractor to substitute a listed subcontractor if the contractor demonstrates to
OCSD that the name of the subcontractor was listed as the result of an inadvertent
County of orange clerical error by following the provisions specified in PCC section 4107.5. In order
to assert a claim of inadvertent clerical error in the listing of a subcontractor, PCC
Costa Mesa section 4107.5 requires the contractor to give written notice to OCSD within two (2)
Sanitary District working days after the time of the bid opening. PCC section 4107.5 also requires
Midway City the contractor to submit copies of that notice to both the subcontractor claimed to
Sanitary District have been listed in error and the intended subcontractor who had bid to the
contractor prior to the bid opening.
Irvine Ranch
Water District The Project's bids were received and opened on April 30, 2019. ICS did not
yorba Lin meet the timeline requirement for the notice of inadvertent clerical error to be
water Dist submitted to OCSD and supporting documentation to substantiate Subcontractor
listing error. Since ICS did not comply with the requirements of PCC section
4107.5, its bid must be considered non-responsive.

La Habra The evaluation team is in the process of evaluating your Bid submitted in response
La Palma to the above reference Project. In order to fully evaluate aspects of your Bid, the
team requests the following clarifcation(s):
Los Alamitos
1. PART 5 BID SUBMITTAL FORMS, BF-2 LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS:
Newport Beach
A. The "Location of Business" of your Bid's 2ntl listed Subcontractor is not the
Orange same as the listed addresses in the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR)
Placentia License verification website or in the License verification check on the
Californian State License Board website.
Santa Ana
The requirements in BF-2. state, in part "...the name and location of the
Seal Beach principal place of business of each Subcontractor who will perform work or labor
or render service to the Contractor in or about the construction of the Work of
Stanton improvements in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the
Tustin Contractor's total Bid, the Subcontractor license number, and the portion of the
Work which will be done by each Subcontractor is set forth below.
Villa Park
Please clarify the"Location of Business" for the 2ntl listed Subcontractor.
County of Orange
Costa Mesa B. The total Subcontract Amount of all listed Subcontractors in your Bid is three
Sanitary District hundred fifty-nine thousand seven hundred and forty-seven dollars
($359,747). The total Bid amount listed on the Schedule of Prices is four
Midway city hundred sixty-six thousand dollars ($466,000). This demonstrates that your
Sanitary District firm is self-performing a total of one hundred six thousand two hundred and
Irvine Ranch fifty-three dollars ($106,253) which is less than the requirement of 30% as
Water District stated in the IFB, Part C, Special Provisions, SPA PERCENTAGE OF
WORK PREFORMED BY THE CONTRACTOR.
Yorba Linda
Water District Please provide clarification regarding this error. Please note that
failure to meet the self-performance requirement of 30% shall deem
your Bid non-responsive.

Factor of 1.82.
Please provide evidence that the two recorded incidents in 2017 affecting
Vern Perry's Accident Frequency Factor have been rectified and their EMR

4. The following irregularities were noted in your Bid. Since the evaluation team
was able to either obtain or verify information without any additional clarifications
from ICS, these irregularities were cured and considered waived:
• PART 5 BID SUBMITTAL FORMS, BF-7 CONTRACTOR LICENSE
DECLARATION

Hi Telvis,
I can assist with you with that,the claim itself was an attorney initiated claim that came in after the
employee was notified that the company would no longer be offering him personal health benefits,the
employee was a diabetic who had been on a long term leave of absence due to complication with his
diabetes. As a result the employee went and filed a worker's compensation claim in an attempt to have
the team at Vern Perry be made responsible for the treatment. He was actually referred to several work
comp doctor's who had actually seen him and discharged him from care on the same day as they did not
find his conditions to be industrial. The claim was resolved via a compromise and release with all parties
in agreeance.
Please let me know if you need more information or details.

Hi Telvis,
I hope all is well. Unfortunately the mod is at 1.32. The insured has only had one claim in over 20
years. The claim wasn't even for an injury and was false. The claim has now been closed. Unfortunately
the insured is a smaller contractor and this one claim caused their EMR to go from 0.74 to 1.32. Vern
Perry Asphalt takes pride in their employees and makes sure safety is a number one priority. Their
current EMR does not reflect Vern Perry Asphalt. If you look at the last 20 years you can see they don't
have claims and are a great partner. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Irvine Re: Project FE16-06, Fuel Cell and Boiler Facilities Demolition
La Habra
OCSD has reviewed your responses to the clarification letter issued on May 21, 2019,
La Palma and requests further clarification on two items.
Las Alamitos
1. Clarification 1.6 -Self-Performance Requirement
Newport Beach
Your response to item 1.B of the clarification letter indicates that your firm
Orange intends for the "Lead and Asbestos" portion of the Work, which is listed for
Placentia Subcontractor#2 (D2 Industrial), to be performed by the fourth (41h) listed
Subcontractor (BHL Industries). As explained in your response to item 1.A, your
Santa Ana firm initially listed D2 Industrial before being informed that BHL Industries' quote
also included the "Lead &Asbestos" portion of the Work.
Seal Beach
As explained below, please be advised that California law prohibits your firm
Stanton from using BHL Industries or any subcontractor to perform this portion of the
Tustin Work. California's Public Contract Code Section 4106 states as follows:
Villa Park If a prime contractor fails to specify a subcontractor or if a prime
contractor specifies more than one subcontractor for the same portion of
County of Orange work to be Performed under the contract in excess of One-half of 1
percent of the prime contractor's total bid, the prime contractor agrees
Costa Mesa that he or she is full qualified to perform that portion himself or herself,
Sanitary District and that the prime contractor shall Perform that portion himself or herself
Midway City
Sanitary District If after award of contract, the prime contractor subcontracts, except as
Irvine Ranch provided for in Sections 4107 or 4109, any such portion of the work, the
Water District prime contractor shall be subject to the penalties named in Section 4111.
Yorba Linda Your prior response indicates that your Bid specifies more than one
Water District Subcontractor (D2 Industrial and BHL Industries) as performing the same
portion of Work (Lead &Asbestos) and OCSD has not received a request for
substitution pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 4107 and 4107.5.
Therefore, your firm is required to self-perform the portion of the Work for"Lead
&Asbestos" pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4106. Moreover, should
your firm be awarded the Contract, your firm would be prohibited from subletting
or subcontracting this portion of the Work under Public Contract Code Sections
4106 and 4107(c).

OCSD requests acknowledgment that your firm is willing and able to self-
perform the "Lead & Asbestos" portion of the Work as required under Public
Contract Code. Please be advised that the staff performing this Work will be
subject to the Certifications and submittal requirements as stated in the
Specification 01900—Hazardous Materials Mitigation and Controls, section
1.7.B.2.b.a.
2. Clarification 2.13—Safety Evaluation of Subcontractor Vern Perry
Questions 6 and 7 of BF-6 SAFETY DECLARATION OF CONTRACTOR state,
in part, as follows:
6. OCSD requires all Subcontractors to have an accident frequency at or
below a factor of 1.25 of the slate average as published by the DIR for
the specific NAICS Code and applied to the accident history of the last
three (3) years. CONTRACTOR shall be required to substitute any
Subcontractor who fails to meet the minimum accident frequency
requirements.
7. OCSD requires all Subcontractors to have workers'compensation
experience modification rate (EMR) at or below 1.25. CONTRACTOR
shall be required to substitute any Subcontractor who fails to meet the
minimum experience modification factor requirements.
Your response did not show that your Bid's first (181) listed Subcontractor(Vern
Perry) had an accident frequency factor or EMR below 1.25. Therefore, pursuant
to the Instructions to Bidders IB-13, section.B.6.c), you will be required to either
substitute Vern Perry or self-perform the "Asphalt" portion of the Work.
Please be advised that if your firm intends to substitute Vern Perry, safety
evaluation will be conducted and must be approved by OCSD pursuant to IB-13,
section B.6.b.1, and I13-13, section B.6.b.2.

Re: Project FE-16-06 Fuel Cell& Boiler Demolition
Mr.Garcia in response to clarification request No.2
1. Clarification 1.B—Self Performs Requirement.
ICS currently holds the General Engineering A license with the hazmat endorsement we are more
than capable of handling lead.As per the California code of regulations we ICS can safely disposal
100SF or less of asbestos certified materials with asbestos's certified people"Not requiring ICS to
hold any additional C-22 Asbestos license". However,if the work exceeds the SF listed ICS will not
N be able to self-perform these tasks.
Oa. This can be handled as a means and methods to minimize expose to less than 100SF by the
use of shears and demolition equipment. Monitoring reporting and documentation will still
} be performed as required by SAQMD.
O b. ICS unintentionally forgot to remove a bidder from the proposed sub-contractors list form
"However our total bid amount is correct" so in adding the amount of work to be performed
by our proposed sub-contractors as listed on the sub-contract form it results in exceeding the
allowable amount permitted.As an alternative and without changing our official bid amount
OICS would proposed to leave the listed sub-contractors as shown in the bid form and make a
_ clerical correction only to the amounts listed under our sub-contractors without any change
to our bid amount bid amount thus resolving all issues.
U
c. If the above two options cannot be achieved ICS would prefer to be safe and not self-perform
L the asbestos portion "especially If the district or state requires a special asbestos license to
be held by the contractor.
O2. Clarification 2.13—Safety evaluation of sub-contractor Vern Perry.
I . ICS understands that Vern Perry did not meet the requirement of OCSD safety standards.
V Unfortunately,they were under the impression they had a great record, but this was discovered
and can't be changed. However, ICS will honor the contract price and provide a replacement
\ asphalt contractor at no additional cost to perform that portion of the SOW.

TO: Hon. Chair and Members of the Orange County Sanitation District Board of
Directors
FROM: Bradley R. Hogin, Esq.
General Counsel
DATE: July 16, 2019
RE: Closed Session Items
The Board of Directors desires to hold a closed session on July 24, 2019 for the purpose
of conferring with its legal counsel regarding potential litigation. Based on existing facts and
circumstances, the Board is deciding whether to initiate litigation against another party. The
closed session will be held pursuant to the authority of California Government Code Section
54956.9(d)(4). The facts and circumstances are as follows: The District owns and operates a
pipeline within an easement in the City of Cypress. The pipeline and easement run under the
following properties: 8192 Willow Drive (APN 262-032-27), 8201 Denni Street(APN No. 262-
032-28), 8191 Willow Drive (APN No. 262-032-37), and 8187 Willow Drive (APN No. 262-
032-38). Improvements have been constructed on these properties that interfere with the
District's easement and a planned project to replace the pipeline. The District will consider
litigation to establish and enforce the District's access to the easement and thereby facilitate the
pipe replacement project.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
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
known 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.
BIOGAS—A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a digester tank that can be used
as a fuel.
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 farmland or further processed as an earth-like product for
commercial and home gardens to improve and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets. Also includes
treatment improvements,additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
COLIFORM BACTERIA—A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also occasionally found
elsewhere,used as indicators of sewage pollution. E.coli are the most common bacteria in wastewater.
COLLECTIONS SYSTEM — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and convey sanitary
wastewater or storm water.
CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION (COP)—A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of
a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater
contaminants.
DILUTION TO THRESHOLD (Dfr)—The dilution at which the majority of people detect the odor becomes the D/T for that air
sample.
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHG)— 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 stil .
GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM(GWRS)—Ajoint 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 per day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
LEVEL OF SERVICE(LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
N-NITROSODIMETHYLAMINE (NDMA) — A N-nitrosamine 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 and Water
Environment Federation, with advisory support from the US Environmental Protection Agency. NBP is committed to developing
and advancing environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory compliance
and promote public participation 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)—A municipal wastewater treatment plant.
SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR(SARI) LINE—A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million gallons per day 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 runoff.
SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD)—Regional regulatory agency that develops plans and
regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions from business and industry.
SECONDARY TREATMENT— Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated sludge process, where bacteria and
other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
SLUDGE—Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS(TSS)—The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
TRICKLING FILTER—A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other microorganisms,growing as slime
on the surface of rocks or plastic media,consume nutrients in wastewater as it trickles over them.
URBAN RUNOFF—Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm drains, rivers, lakes, and
oceans.
WASTEWATER—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.
WATERSHED—A land area from which water drains to a particular water body.The Orange County Sanitation District's service
