being the average flow based on that type of business. Mr. Herberg provided information,
both in reference to the previous and new ordinance, and briefly explained the inclusion of
a lock in rate for three years, which took effect in July of this year. Mr. Herberg stated that

Mr. Thompson provided an approximate square footage of the public, support, and
office spaces; and explained the direct benefits and outcomes of certified LEED
projects. Mr. Thompson responded to questions regarding the LEED certification and
the consensus of the committee was that the design of the building should not be
dictated by the ability to become LEED certified, but rather the certification should be
determined by the result of the design.
Mr. Thompson proceeded to describe the design objectives including code compliance,
efficiency, cost, additional meeting spaces, light and circulation. The site layout
including visitor circulation, employee circulation, and board member circulation were
described and depicted in diagram.
Finally, Mr. Thompson provided information regarding the program budget and
schedule.
The Committee requested a tour of the existing facilities and recommended that a
contractor/manager be hired for constructability, schematic design review, and
construction. The committee further requested design and cost comparisons of similar
LEED constructed projects be provided in the future.
The Committee raised concerns regarding geotechnical studies, to which staff
responded that early demolition will allow preliminary soil studies and remedies well
before construction. Concerns were also raised regarding the proposed 300 parking
spaces based on square footage and space studies; and a more careful look at the
parking was suggested.
Future meeting dates at key milestones in the design development were suggested.
To allow staff time to prepare, the next meeting date will be called at a later time.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: CATERPILLAR, MODEL XQ570 TRAILER MOUNTED MOBILE DIESEL
GENERATOR
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Purchase Order Contract to Quinn Power Systems for the purchase of
a Caterpillar, Model XQ570 Trailer Mounted Mobile Diesel 500 kW Generator,
(Tier4 Final Engine), using the Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers
Alliance) Cooperative Contract Number #120617-CAT with Caterpillar, for an
amount not to exceed $299,920, in accordance with Ordinance No. OCSD-52,
Section 2.03(B), Cooperative Purchases; and
B. Approve a contingency of$14,996 (5%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes trailer mounted,
standby generator systems to provide critical power generation to the pump stations
during planned or emergency power outages and bypass pumping activities, in both the
collections systems and treatment plants. There is insufficient standby generator capacity
to support several of the Sanitation District's pump stations.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Achieve less than 2.1 sewer spills per 100 miles
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
• Meet or exceed sanitary sewer overflow regulations
• Commitment to safety& reducing risk in all operations
PROBLEM
In the event of an extended power outage, including planned outages for maintenance
activities, the Sanitation District utilizes standby generators at the pump stations to ensure
against a sewer spill. Currently, not all pump stations have emergency standby
generators on-site and the portable generators owned by the Sanitation District do not
have the capacity needed to power the three largest pump stations: Bitter Point, Seal
Beach, and Main Street.
Page 1 of 2
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends the purchase of one (1) 500-kW trailer mounted emergency generator
utilizing the Cooperative Contract with Sourcewell. The 500-kW generator has the
capacity to operate as a single unit or in parallel with another trailer-mounted generator
to provide adequate power to the three largest pump stations or to the treatment plant
facilities.
TIMING CONCERNS
By having immediate access to the equipment needed, staff can mobilize quickly and
efficiently, minimizing the risk of a sewer spill due to a loss of power at the pump station.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
While 501 generators are available via rental equipment, portable generators of this
capacity are not commonly available. Depending on the availability of a rental in an
emergency is not advisable as time lost trying to secure proper equipment could result in
a sewer spill or increase the magnitude and impact of a spill.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: CITY OF SEAL BEACH ADOLFO LOPEZ PUMP STATION ODOR
CONTROL FACILITY
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Site Access and License Agreement with the City of Seal Beach to construct
an odor control chemical dosing station for the injection of chemicals into the Knott
Interceptor at 1776 Adolfo Lopez Drive, in a form approved by General Counsel.
BACKGROUND
To reduce odor nuisances in the collection system, the Orange County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) implemented an odor and corrosion control program, which includes
the application of chemicals to minimize hydrogen sulfide (1-12S.) The Sanitation District
currently treats the Westminster sewer with a continuous feed of magnesium hydroxide
at the Seal Beach Pump Station to minimize potential odor impacts on the surrounding
communities.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting
• 12 or fewer odor complaints per year under normal operating conditions in the
collections system
PROBLEM
High levels of H2S vapor in the western part of the Westminster and Knott sewers has
the potential to cause odor nuisances and complaints in the cities of Seal Beach and
Westminster.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Staff recommends the addition of a chemical dosing station at the Adolfo Lopez Pump
Station in the City of Seal Beach. The addition of this application site will address odors
along the Knott sewer.
Page 1 d 2
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If not approved, the western portions of the Westminster and Knott sewers will experience
elevated 1-12S levels, with a potential for odor complaints and accelerated corrosion.
CEQA
The Sanitation District is the lead agency and has determined this project required CEQA
documentation for consideration and filed the Sanitation District's Addendum No. 5 to the
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the Final Effluent Pump Station Annex
and Collection System Odor& Corrosion Control Program, dated May 2, 2018, and Board
approved on May 23, 2018 (Item No. 2) to accommodate odor and corrosion control
chemical addition at City of Seal Beach Adolfo Lopez Pump Station.

Section 6), from and against any and all damages, costs, expenses,
liabilities, claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, judgments,
penalties, liens, and losses of any nature whatsoever, including fees of
accountants and other professionals, and all costs associated
therewith, and reimbursement of attorneys' fees and costs of defense
(collectively"Claims"), whether actual, alleged or threatened, which
arise out of, pertain to, or relate to, in whole or in part, the negligence,
recklessness or willful misconduct of OCSD, and/or its officers, agents,
servants, employees, subcontractors, contractors or their officers,
agents, servants or employees (or any entity or individual that OCSD

ADDENDUM NO. 4 TO THE
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT'S
SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
FINAL EFFLUENT PUMP STATION ANNEX AND COLLECTION SYSTEM ODOR &
CORROSION CONTROL PROGRAM
STATE CLEARINGHOUSE NO.: 1997101065
LEAD AGENCY: Orange County Sanitation District
DATE: April 4, 2018
PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM:
In November 2002, the Orange County Sanitation District ("Sanitation District") Board of Directors
certified the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report ("SEIR")for the Final Effluent Pump
Station Annex and Collection System Odor&Corrosion Control Program (SCH No. 1997101065).
The SEIR supplemented the Program Environmental Impact Report ("PEIR")for the Sanitation
District's 1999 Strategic Plan, which was certified in October 1999. (SCH No. 97101065). The 1999
Strategic Plan called for OCSD to begin testing various equipment and techniques to control odors
in the Sanitation District's service area. This testing and evaluation proved successful and
ultimately led the Sanitation District to install several continuous feed systems in certain locations
as part of the Odor and Corrosion Control Program ("Odor Control Program"). The SEIR analyzed
the environmental impacts of existing continuous feed systems throughout the Sanitation District's
service area and predicted that additional feed systems would be built as appropriate locations
were identified.
This addendum, prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and its implementing Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations Title 14,Chapter 3,Section 15000 et seq.), addresses the addition of a continuous feed
chemical dosing station as described in the SEIR.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Sanitation District's collection system generates odorous gases, primarily hydrogen sulfide, which
can be released into the air creating a nuisance to surrounding land uses.To reduce the nuisance,
Sanitation District conducts an odor and corrosion control program for the collection system that
currently consists of applying chemicals in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the trunk sewer
collection system. The application of the various chemicals is applied intermittently to minimize the
hydrogen sulfide production as the wastewater is conveyed from the collection system to
Sanitation District's treatment plants.
The Sanitation District plans to install a chemical dosing station (the "Station")to add calcium
nitrate, ferrous chloride, and/or magnesium hydroxide for continuous odor treatment to the Knott
1355608.1
trunk line at Adolfo Lopez Pump Station in the City of Seal Beach ("City"). The Station will be
located at City's Maintenance Yard at 1776 Adolfo Lopez Drive, Seal Beach.The pump station is
bounded on the south, north, west and east by City's Maintenance Yard and is accessed through a
secured gate on Adolfo Lopez Drive.
The Station will include the installation and operation of a 7,800-gallon chemical tank,feed system
equipment, and feed controls. The purpose is to control hydrogen sulfide (H2S)vapor and liquid
levels to OCSD's level of service (LOS) standards, mitigate odors, and reduce odor complaints.
The chemicals that may be used at the Station include, but are not limited to:
• Calcium nitrate
• Ferrous chloride
• Magnesium hydroxide
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
The Sanitation District intends to construct the Station as part of the Sanitation District's Odor and
Corrosion Control Program ("Odor Control Program"). In 2002,the Sanitation District prepared a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report("SEIR")which evaluated many of the impacts
associated with the Odor Control Program. The purpose and function of chemical dosing stations
are described in Section 2.2 of the SEIR. Environmental impacts associated with the dosing stations
are evaluated in Chapter 3 of the SEIR.The SEIR does not include details about this specific station
as at the time of certification of the SEIR OCSD had not yet identified an appropriate location for a
chemical dosing station in this area.This addendum describes and evaluates the environmental
impacts of installing a chemical dosing station at the Adolfo Lopez Pump Station in the City of Seal
Beach.
Provided below is a review of the conclusions included in the SEIR and an evaluation of the
environmental impacts as they pertain to this specific location.
Aesthetics:
The SEIR concluded that the storage tanks could be visible from adjacent land uses.As such,the
tanks should be installed within city yards, pump stations or private industrial yards and any
additional tank should be installed in a utility yard.
The Adolfo Lopez Pump Station meets the criteria set forth in the SEIR as it is a pump station.The
tank and equipment will be installed behind a fence and out of view to the residences to the extent
possible for the site.
The tank does not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of significant aesthetic effects from those determined in the SEIR.
Air Quality:
The SEIR concluded that the operation of the continuous feed stations would not have a significant
impact to air quality.There will be up to approximately one to two truck deliveries per week, and
1355608.1
the emissions are not significant. In addition,the chemical dosing would reduce objectionable
odors generated by the collection system,which results in a beneficial impact.
Geology and Soils:
The SEIR concluded that the aboveground storage tanks may be located in close proximity to fault
splays.As such,tank specifications include a double wall tank for second containment to provide
added protection from seismic hazards.The chemical storage tanks are designed to withstand
ground shaking and avoid a potential spill during a seismic event.Therefore,the impacts remain
less than significant.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials:
The SEIR notes that the Odor Control Program would include the transport, storage and use of
diesel fuel and odor reduction chemicals that could pose a spill or leak hazard. However, when
handled properly the chemicals do not pose a significant health risk to the surrounding land uses.
The Sanitation District has implemented an Integrated Emergency Response Program (IERP)that
includes a Spill Prevention Containment and Countermeasure Plan which includes structural
specifications for storage tanks, monitoring, secondary containment capacity requirements, leak
detection and alarms, emergency response procedures, reporting requirements, etc.
The minor changes to this project from the SEIR,which do not create a significant impact, are the
type of chemicals that may be stored at the site.The SEIR mentions calcium nitrate, ferric chloride,
ferrous chloride,sodium nitrate, and magnesium hydroxide as possible dosing chemicals.
Chemicals that may be used at the Adolfo Lopez Pump Station chemical dosing station include, but
are not limited to,ferrous chloride, magnesium hydroxide, and calcium nitrate.
Ferrous chloride is a greenish yellow liquid with a slight odor of iron/acid. It is corrosive but not
flammable. It is listed as a hazardous chemical. The material is stable when handled properly. It is
acidic and corrodes most metals. It can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion and can
be irritating to the eyes and skin. It may be toxic or fatal if swallowed in sufficient quantity.
Magnesium hydroxide is an odorless white liquid slurry.The product is not flammable or
combustible and poses little health risk. It is not listed as a hazardous chemical. Exposure routes
are through inhalation, ingestion, and skin and/or eye contact.
Calcium nitrate is a clear liquid with no odor.The product is not flammable or combustible. It is not
listed as a hazardous chemical. Exposure routes are through inhalation, ingestion and skin and/or
eye contact.
These chemicals are currently used as part of the normal Odor Control Program.Various chemical
dosing stations throughout the Sanitation District service area safely use these chemicals. Strict
measures are taken to ensure the instructions listed in the Safety Data Sheets are followed and the
chemicals are used as intended. In addition,site access is restricted, the tank is double contained to
hold spills, and appropriate personal protective equipment will be used bythose at the tank site to
reduce the risk of exposure.
1355608.1
The minor deviations from the SEIR described in this section would not result in new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of significant effects related to
hazards and hazardous materials from those identified and evaluated in the SEIR.
Hydrology and Water Quality:
The SEIR concluded that chemicals used in the Odor Control Program could impact water quality if a
spill were to occur. However, the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and spill
prevention, countermeasure, and control measures (SPCC) would reduce the impact to less than
significant.
Noise:
The Odor Control Program requires the installation of an aboveground chemical storage tank;
Installation is expected to be completed in five (5) days or less and the sources of noise include
truck noise and jackhammering. If chemical suppliers are changed due to periodic re-bidding of the
contract,a new tank and associated equipment would be installed. Noise is expected to be minimal
and of short duration. Pumps are contained in an enclosure to reduce noise level.Approximately
one to two truck trips per week are required for chemical deliveries.The truck trips would not raise
ambient noise in the area significantly and as such would not be considered a significant noise
impact.
Transportation/Traffic:
The chemical deliveries at the Adolfo Lopez Pump Station would occur approximately one to two
truck trips per week. The storage tank is located at the City of Seal Beach City's Maintenance Yard
and staff have full access to the tank.The delivery of the chemical would not cause traffic, interfere
with access or create lane closures,the existing conditions would remain the same.As such,there is
less than significant impact.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL FOR ADDENDUM NO.4 TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT FOR THE FINAL EFFLUENT PUMP STATION ANNEX AND COLLECTION SYSTEM
ODOR&CORROSION CONTROL PROGRAM:
1. Environmental impacts of chemical dosing stations throughout the service area were
evaluated in the SEIR certified by the Sanitation District Board of Directors in November
2002. The SEIR envisioned that additional dosing stations would be added in future years
and provided a conservative, worst-case analysis of the potential environmental effects of
these future stations. The SEIR placed certain restrictions on the location of future dosing
stations but otherwise assumed they may be located anywhere within Sanitation District's
service territory, including near residential areas and sensitive receptors.
2. The Sanitation District's Odor Control Program assumed that additional dosing stations
would be added in future years. As such,the addition of this Dosing Station does not
constitute a substantial change in the Odor Control Program.
3. This addendum has been prepared to provide minor additions and technical changes to the
SEIR to account for the addition of this Dosing Station.
1355608.1
4. The project modifications would not result in new significant environmental effects or an
increase in the severity of significant effects from those determined bythe SEIR certified by
the Sanitation District Board of Directors in 2002. There have also been no substantial
changes in the circumstances surrounding the project since the preparation of the SEIR
other than the identification of specific locations for dosing stations, which was expected
under the SEIR.
S. No new information of substantial importance has come to light since the preparation of
the SEIR regarding significant effects of the project,the severity of the project's effects, or
feasible mitigation measures. New information is now available regarding the efficacy of
certain chemicals, but this will not significantly alter the project's effects or the
infrastructure required for the dosing station.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON - AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE
AS-AVAILABLE CAPACITY AND ENERGY POWER PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 3 to the As-Available Capacity and Energy Power Purchase
Agreement with Southern California Edison Company, to allow the Orange County
Sanitation District to receive monthly sale statements from Southern California Edison
Company through the electronic mail system.
BACKGROUND
Currently Southern California Edison (SCE) purchases the excess generated power at
Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Plant No. 2 and sends the
monthly sale statements to the Sanitation District via the U.S. Postal System. The
statements show the energy and capacity delivered to SCE during on-peak, mid-peak,
off-peak, and super-off-peak periods during the monthly billing periods, and SCE's
computation of the amount due the Sanitation District.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
Maintain a culture of improving efficiency to reduce the cost to provide the current
service level or standard
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District receives the sale statements from the SCE through U.S. Postal
Service mail. The current process is causing delays in receiving the sale statements.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The Sanitation District requested SCE to send the sale statements through electronic mail
(email), which is convenient, timely, and will prevent any delays for the Sanitation District
in preparing and submitting regulatory related reports to the energy governmental
agencies (e.g., Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and California Energy
Commission). SCE accepted the Sanitation District's request and provided the proposed
Amendment No. 3 to the As-Available Capacity and Energy Power Purchase Agreement
for providing email statements.
Page 1 of 2
TIMING CONCERNS

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: CLIMATE RESILIENCY STUDY - PROJECT NO. SP-152
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a budget increase of$288,000 for the Climate Resiliency Study, Project
No. SP-152, for a total budget of$878,000;
B. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Hazen and Sawyer to provide
engineering services for the Climate Resiliency Study, Project No. SP-152, for an
amount not to exceed $697,952; and
C. Approve a contingency of$69,795 (10%).
BACKGROUND
Governor's Executive Order#S-13-08 (EO-S-13-08)directs state agencies to plan for sea
level rise and climate impacts through coordination of the state Climate Adaptation
Strategy. The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Climate
Change/Environmental Footprint Initiative started in 2007 and has completed a detailed
carbon footprint study. In addition, the Sanitation District developed a strategy to respond
to climate change regulations, public outreach, and education, as well as research
initiatives related to energy efficiency and sustainable technologies.
The location of Plant No. 2 and several pump stations along the coast make them
vulnerable to disruptions due to climate change impacts. Previous studies on extreme
events have shown that in most cases the costs of repairs were significantly higher than
the costs of mitigation and adaptation strategies.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
Page 1 of 5
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District has not performed a site-specific assessment on its assets. In
addition, the Sanitation District is currently working on design of projects totaling more
than $1.4 billion and has not included site-specific climate resiliency in the design.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Perform a planning-level site-specific risk assessment on the Sanitation District's
infrastructure, based on climate variability and change, and develop adaptation and
mitigation recommendations to reduce vulnerabilities intensified by climate change.
The study will identify major climate change related issues that currently, or may in the
future, affect the Sanitation District's wastewater infrastructure. The climate variables
included in this study include: sea level rise, inundation area, coastal erosion, fire,
groundwater level, high tides, storm surge and increased riverine flooding. A risk
assessment study followed by mitigation and adaptation strategies for facilities at high
and medium risk will be performed to improve the reliability and continued operation of
these facilities. This project will also provide design recommendations for projects
currently in design and for future Capital Improvement Program projects.
TIMING CONCERNS
Conducting this study now will provide site-specific climate resiliency guidance to many
large Capital Improvement Project currently in or nearing design, such as: Primary
Treatment Rehabilitation at Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-98; Bay Bridge Pump Station
Replacement, Project No. 5-67; and TPAD Digester Facility at Plant No. 2, Project No.
P2-128.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Not performing a climate resiliency evaluation and mitigation recommendations increases
the risk of failure of critical Sanitation District's infrastructure due to climate-related
hazards, resulting in the potential for processes to be compromised which are critical to
protecting public health by providing treatment of wastewater within the Sanitation
District's service area.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Consultant Selection:
The Sanitation District requested and advertised for proposals for Climate Resiliency
Study, Project No. SP-152, on August 13, 2018. The following evaluation criterion were
Page 2 d 5
described in the Request for Proposals (RFP) and used to determine the most qualified
Consultant.
CRITERION WEIGHT
Project Understanding and Approach 40%
Related Project Experience 30%
Project Team and Staff Qualifications 30%
Six proposals were received on September 18, 2018 and evaluated in accordance with
the evaluation process set forth in the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance, by a
pre-selected Evaluation Team consisting of the following Sanitation District's staff.
Kathy Millea Engineering Manager- Planning
Nasrin Nasrollahi Senior Engineer- Planning
Andrew Brown Engineer- Maintenance Reliability & Planning
The Evaluation Team also included one non-voting representative from the Contracts
Administration Division.
Following scoring by the Evaluation Team, two Consultants were shortlisted for interviews
on October 10, 2018. Following the interview, each member of the Evaluation Team
ranked the Consultants based on both the proposals and interviews using the evaluation
criterion and weighting described above. Based on the ranking shown below, Hazen and
Sawyer was selected as the most qualified Consultant.
Hazen and Sawyer HDR Engineering, Inc.
Evaluator 1 1" 2nd
Evaluator 2 1" 2nd
Evaluator 3 1x 2nd
Combined Ranking 1" 2nd
The team from Hazen and Sawyer demonstrated how they have worked with other
municipalities to guide them through the process of performing similar climate resiliency
studies to identify risks and provide mitigation and adaptation strategies. Specifically,
they performed a comprehensive assessment for the City of New York's wastewater
system, which included 14 treatment plants, 96 pumping stations, and nearly 500
buildings. Furthermore, the team exhibited their experience in providing short-term and
long-term adaptation strategies based on the type of the facility, asset criticality and its
useful life, and how to prioritize the recommendations.
Page 3 of 5
Review of Fee Proposal and Negotiations:
Proposals were accompanied by sealed fee proposals. In accordance with Purchasing
Ordinance, the fee proposal of only the highest-ranked firm was opened after approval by
the Director of Engineering of the Evaluation Committee's recommendation.
Staff conducted negotiations with Hazen and Sawyer to clarify the requirements of the
Scope of Work, the assumptions used for the estimated level of effort, and the proposed
approach to meet the goals and objectives for the project.
Original Fee Proposal Negotiated Fee
Total Hours 6,332 2,938
Total Fee $1,441,778 $697,952
During the negotiations and discussions, it was agreed upon that climate-related risks on
inland areas, including Plant No. 1 and several pump stations, are insignificant and
therefore those assets were eliminated from the Scope of Work. The Consultant's level
of effort was also reduced by the following: reducing number of site visits, producing
2-D rather than 3-D maps, reducing the number of workshops from 13 to 7, combining
meetings and deliverables, streamlining project staffing, and reducing project schedule.
Furthermore, documenting the Sanitation District's efforts in reducing Greenhouse Gas
emissions was decided to be performed in-house.
The Consultant's fringe and overhead costs, which factor into the billing rate, have been
substantiated. The contract profit for the prime consultant is 9.18%, which is based on
an established formula based on the Sanitation District's standard professional service
agreements.
Based on the above, staff has determined that the final negotiated fee is fair and
reasonable for the level of effort required for this project and recommends award of the
Professional Services Agreement to Hazen and Sawyer.
CEQA
The Sanitation District, as lead agency, has determined that the preparation of the
proposed Study is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262
[Feasibility and Planning Studies]. Specifically, "A project involving only feasibility or
planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board or commission has
not approved, adopted or funded does not require that preparation of an EIR or negative
declaration, but does require consideration of environmental factors."
The proposed Climate Resiliency Study is a planning tool for possible future actions which
does not commit the Sanitation District to implement any specific project. The proposed
Climate Resiliency Study will develop adaptation and mitigation recommendations to
reduce vulnerabilities intensified by climate change.
Page 4 of 5
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing
Ordinance. This item has been budgeted for Fiscal Years 2018-19 and 2019-20 (Line
item: Section 8, Page 82), but the budget is insufficient for the recommended action.
Funds for the budget increase request will be offset by the Master Planning Studies
budget for Fiscal Years 2018-19 and 2019-20. (Line item: Section 8, Page 51).

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, CONSULTANT's, 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 CONSULTANT's fees and costs and the
SANITATION DISTRICT's general and administrative expenses; individually, a "Claim";
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, CONSULTANT,
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 solely from:
(A) the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
PSA PROJECT NO. SP-152
Revision 080218 CLIMATE RESILIENCY STUDY
Page 16 of 19
(C) the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties
nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor
CONSULTANT's supplier, CONSULTANT, Subconsultant, subcontractor, nor
anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.
Exceptions (A)through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by CONSULTANT
of any of the provisions of this AGREEMENT. Under no circumstances shall the
insurance requirements and limits set forth in this AGREEMENT be construed to limit
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder. The terms of this
AGREEMENT are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties hereto.
Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California
Civil Code Section 1654)that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party,
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this AGREEMENT.
23. DUTY TO DEFEND
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 SANITATION 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. COMPLIANCE WITH SANITATION DISTRICT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
CONSULTANT shall be required to comply with all SANITATION DISTRICT policies and
procedures including the OCSD Safety Standards, as applicable, all of which may be
amended from time to time.

25. CLOSEOUT
When the SANITATION DISTRICT determines that all Work authorized under the
AGREEMENT is fully complete and that the SANITATION DISTRICT requires no further
work from CONSULTANT, or the AGREEMENT is otherwise terminated or expires in
accordance with the terms of the AGREEMENT, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall give
the Consultant written notice that the AGREEMENT will be closed out. CONSULTANT
shall submit all outstanding billings, work submittals, deliverables, reports or similarly
related documents as required under the AGREEMENT within thirty(30) days of receipt
of notice of AGREEMENT closeout.
Upon receipt of CONSULTANT's submittals, the SANITATION DISTRICT shall
commence a closeout audit of the AGREEMENT and will either:
i. Give the CONSULTANT a final AGREEMENT Acceptance: or
ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be
furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT's cost.
CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any
administrative closeout efforts identified in the AGREEMENT Such support must be
provided within the timeframe requested by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding the final AGREEMENT acceptance, the CONSULTANT will not be
relieved of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its
obligations to complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not
disclosed to the SANITATION DISTRICT(regardless of whether such nondisclosures
were fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise), and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated
under all those provisions of the AGREEMENT which expressly or by their nature extend
beyond and survive final AGREEMENT Acceptance.
Any failure by the SANITATION DISTRICT to reject the work or to reject the
CONSULTANT's request for final AGREEMENT Acceptance as set forth above shall not
be deemed to be acceptance of the work by the SANITATION DISTRICT for any
purpose nor imply acceptance of, or AGREEMENT with, the CONSULTANT's request
for final AGREEMENT Acceptance.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CONTRACT PERFORMANCE
REPORT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Capital Improvement Program Contract Performance Report for the
period ending September 30, 2018.
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program involves awarding and managing many construction
and consulting contracts. In 2008, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation
District) Board of Directors began awarding contingencies along with construction and
consulting contracts. The contingencies allow the General Manager to approve change
orders for construction contracts and amendments for consulting contracts up to the
amount of the approved contingency. This practice reduces administrative costs,
expedites resolution of project issues that arise, helps avoid Contractor delay claims, and
facilitates efficient management of many contracts.
The Capital Improvement Program Contract Performance Report summarizes
construction and consulting contract performance and activities for the quarter ending
September 30, 2018. This report is updated quarterly.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent

For the period ending September 30, 2018
DATE: October 22, 2018
TO: Orange County Sanitation District
Board of Directors
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Through: Rob Thompson, Director of Engineering
This report summarizes the status, activities, and performance of public works
construction contracts and consultant agreements. This report also identifies the names
and status of projects being performed under master budgets for facilities engineering,
planning studies, and research.
PART 1 - CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
When the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Board awards a
construction contract, a contingency is also approved which allows the General Manager
to approve contract change orders up to the amount of the contingency. One of the
purposes of this report is to document how that contingency is managed and how much
of the contingency is utilized.A project's change order rate can only be documented when
the work is complete. As such, the change order performance charts in this report are
based only on projects closed since the Board began approving contingencies in 2008.

PART 2 — DESIGN CONSULTANT AGREEMENTS
The Sanitation District engages design consultants through Professional Design Services
Agreements (PDSAs), Professional Consultant Services Agreements (PCSAs), and
Master Professional Services Agreements (Master Agreements). PDSAs are used to
obtain design engineering services, and PCSAs are a subsequent agreement with the
design consultant to provide support services during construction.

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Capital Improvement Program
Contract Performance Report
For the period ending September 30, 2018
Master Agreements are issued to a pool of pre-qualified consultants for smaller projects.
On those smaller projects, the Sanitation District solicits task order proposals from three
or four of the firms, and awards a task order to the most qualified consultant. There are
currently seven sets of Master Agreements.
2009 Master Design Agreements (expired)
2012 Master Design Agreements (expired)
2015 Master Design Agreements (expired)
2018 Master Design Agreements
2017 Master Agreements for CEQA Studies
2017 Master Agreements for Collection Planning Studies
• 2017 Master Agreements for Wastewater Treatment Planning Studies
The three Master Design Agreements from 2009, 2012, and 2015 have expired, meaning
no new task orders can be issued under them, but previously-issued task orders remain
active until completed. Task Orders are limited by Sanitation District Ordinance
No. OCSD-47 $300,000 per task order.
PART 3 — MASTER BUDGET PROJECTS
The Board-adopted budget for Fiscal Years 2016-17 and 2017-18 includes master
program budgets that allow staff to more quickly initiate, execute, and manage smaller
projects that fit within the scope of a particular program. The projects chartered under
these program budgets are referred to as sub-projects, and are managed to the same
standards as projects specifically listed in the adopted budget. A status table for each of
these programs listing the sub-projects is attached.

PART 4—STAFF AUGMENTATION CONTRACT
In May 2016, the Sanitation District Board of Directors approved a $41 million
professional services agreement with Jacobs Project Management Co. to provide
supplemental engineering and support staff services for a four-year term with the option
of three one-year renewals. The benefits of using staff augmentation, as opposed to
hiring full-time staff or limited-term employees, include rapid mobilization of highly
skilled/technical staff, flexibility to change the mix of staff positions on an immediate and
as-needed basis, the ability to reduce staff as workloads decrease, access to technical
experts to support special tasks, and access to staff with wastewater project experience.

BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) owns and operates facilities
that were designed and constructed from the 1950s to present. In July 2014, the Facility
Wide Safety Assessment, Project No. SP-145-1, reviewed safety issues at the Sanitation
District Plant Nos. 1 and 2 and pump stations. The study identified approximately 2,000
facility issues impacting worker safety and compliance with Cal/OSHA regulations
including electrical, fall protection, machine guarding, hazardous area classifications,
skylights, and walkway hazards. Each item was assigned a high, medium, or low priority
rating. Pending resolution of the safety items, the Sanitation District took interim
measures to minimize life-safety risks.
There was an approximately even distribution between issues that would be addressed
using Sanitation District resources and those that would be addressed through the Capital
Improvement Program, depending on the nature and complexity. Items that could not be
assigned to existing projects have been assigned to the Safety Improvements Program,
Project No. J-126.
To resolve the deficiencies as quickly as possible, Safety Improvements Program, Project
No. J-126, is being executed through multiple construction packages that can be
completed in a shorter time than using a single construction contract. Development of
Page 1 of 3
multiple construction packages also allows higher priority safety items to be completed
more quickly than lower priority items.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Provide a safe and collegial workplace
PROBLEM
Among the various Project No. J-126 deficiencies are approximately 52 ladder and hatch
modifications at Pump Stations and 17 roof fall protection deficiencies at Plant Nos. 1
and 2.

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.
In all matters relating to the acceptability of material, machinery or plant equipment;
classifications of material or Work; the proper execution, progress or sequence of the
CONFORMED C-CA-011317
CONTRACT NO.J-126 P AND Q
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM

payment notices by refusing to release funds held in escrow pursuant to public

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

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.

Flatiron West, Inc. for Consolidated Demolition and Utility Improvements at Plant No. 2,
Project No. P2-110, for a total contingency of$2,174,900 (13%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) began operations at Plant
No. 2 in the 1950s. Some of the original process structures and infrastructure still exist,
although subsequent process upgrades have resulted in their abandonment. This project
removes the abandoned structures and infrastructure to support planning and
construction of new facilities. Demolition work under this project will include the removal
of the following facilities:
• Digesters A and B
• Primary Clarifiers A, B, and C
• Air Compressor Building
• Emergency Power Building
• Several other facilities and utilities that are abandoned or at the end of their useful
lives.
Several existing tunnels will be demolished or rehabilitated including new pipe supports,
drainage improvements, structural repair, and lighting improvements. New support
facilities include an oil dock and air compressor system that are being constructed to
replace existing facilities at the end of their useful life and being demolished. The project
area will also receive extensive grading, drainage, and paving improvements.
A construction contract was awarded to Flatiron West, Inc. in January 2017 and
construction is approximately 60 percent complete. This work is being performed at the
plant's oldest facilities where documentation is limited or inaccurate, leading to many
unknown construction conditions, including:
• Unidentified utilities which required additional exploratory excavations and
unanticipated utility relocations or protection.
Page 1 of 3
• Concrete/slurry encasement around existing utilities that required additional
demolition effort.
• Previously-unidentified hazardous materials that required expensive special handling
and disposal costs.
• Unanticipated abandoned pipelines that required demolition.
• Retrofit of an existing motor control center that was found to have insufficient space
for relocated equipment.
In addition, staff had identified in the Plant Air System Master Plan, Project No. SP-148
an urgent plant-wide need for a second air compressor identical to one already in the
project. The P2-110 project had already included provisions for future installation of the
second compressor, so the discretionary decision to authorize a change order of
$227,763 so the second compressor could be added to the project was based on a
determination that it was the most cost-effective and expeditious approach to provide the
necessary plant air capacity.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
PROBLEM
Unforeseen conditions encountered during construction have resulted in higher than
expected changes. With approximately 40 percent of the work remaining, additional
construction contract contingency may be needed to address critical issues that arise.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a contingency increase of$836,500 (5%)to the construction contract for a total
contingency of$2,174,900 (13%). The project budget is sufficient for this change and no
additional funding is needed.
TIMING CONCERNS
The construction contingency increase will allow any required construction changes to be
addressed without causing project delays.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Completion of the remaining work in a timely manner may not be possible if the
construction contract contingency is insufficient to cover the costs for additional potential
unknown conditions. Without the additional funds, construction activities would be
hampered and project delays would be incurred.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: TRUCK LOADING BAY ODOR CONTROL AT PLANT NO. 2,
CONTRACT NO. P2-92A
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contingency increase of$132,160 (4%)to the construction contract with Kiewit
Infrastructure West Co. for Truck Loading Bay Odor Control at Plant No. 2, Contract
No. P2-92A, for a total construction contingency of$462,560 (14%).
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this project is to replace dewatering facilities that have reached the end
of their service life at Plant No. 2. A more efficient dewatering technology, centrifuges,
will be utilized to reduce the amount of water in the biosolids hauled offsite to reduce
biosolids management disposal costs. The biosolids produced by the centrifuges,
however, will be more odorous than the current biosolids.
Construction is currently 81% complete with testing and commissioning about to begin.
These odor control facilities are needed when Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at
Plant No. 2, Project No. P2-92, introduces sludge, which is currently scheduled for March
2019.
During the course of construction, two issues have arisen that have required more
contingency than is normally required for a project of this type:
• An unknown buried drain line was found directly under a support for a large diameter
air duct 20 feet above grade. This required a more complex base support.
• Modifications to address safety issues recently identified on other Orange County
Sanitation District (Sanitation District) projects. These changes included additional
grating to address trip hazards in a chemical containment area and eyewash stations
for the foul air scrubbers.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities,
including odor, noise, and lighting
• Comply with CA Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction
contract to lowest responsive, responsible bidder
Page 1 of 3
PROBLEM
The existing Board-authorized contingency is sufficient for the changes identified to date.
The remaining contingency, however, might not be sufficient to address unexpected and
necessary changes that may arise as construction is completed and during
commissioning and startup.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a contingency increase of $132,160 (4%) from $330,400 (10%) for a total
construction contingency of$462,560 (14%).
TIMING CONCERNS
The Truck Loading Bay Odor Control facilities are needed upon startup of the dewatering
centrifuges built under the Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control at Plant No. 2, Project
No. P2-92. If an issue arises that requires more contingency than has been authorized,
work may need to stop until Board approval can be obtained, which could delay both
construction contracts.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If additional contingency is needed, but not authorized, construction might need to be
stopped, and the work delayed. The delay might also be grounds for extended overhead
claims by the contractors on both construction contracts.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2016 Awarded a construction contract to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. for
Truck Loading Bay Odor Control at Plant No. 2, Contract No. 132-92A, for a total amount
not to exceed $3,304,000, and approved a contingency of$330,400 (10%).

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Ed Torres, Director of Operations and Maintenance
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF LIQUID CATIONIC POLYMER
CHEMICAL
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Sole Source Chemical Supplier Agreement to SNF Polydyne, Inc., for
the purchase of Liquid Cationic Polymer,for the period beginning February 1, 2019
through January 31, 2020 for a unit price of$2.782 per active pound delivered for
Solution Polymer (WE-192) including freight plus applicable sales tax, and $2.552
per active pound delivered for Mannich Polymer (C-331) including freight plus
applicable sales tax, and $2.947 per active pound delivered for Emulsion Polymer
(WE-1328) including freight plus applicable sales tax, and $2.947 per active pound
delivered for Emulsion Polymer (WE-1233; full liquid) including freight plus
applicable sales tax, and $3.265 per active pound delivered for Emulsion Polymer
(WE-1233; <40k lb.) including freight plus applicable sales tax, for total estimated
annual amount of$608,000;
B. Authorize General Manager to negotiate and subsequently approve new unit
prices with an estimated additional amount of$2,302,000 with SNF Polydyne, Inc.
for new cationic polymers that will be developed based on cationic polymer
specifications for the new centrifuges for the period February 1, 2019 through
January 31, 2020, not to exceed amount estimated $2,910,000; and
C. Approve an annual unit price contingency of 10% for item B.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) currently uses cationic
polymers to dewater digested sludge in belt filter presses (BFP) and thicken waste
activated sludge (WAS) in the dissolved air floatation thickener (DAFT). Also, cationic
polymers will be used for centrifuges once CIP centrifuge projects (P1-101 and 132-92)go
online.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Safe, beneficial reuse of Biosolids
• Use all practical and effective means for resource recovery
• Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons
Page 1 d 3
PROBLEM
Current cationic polymer with SNF Polydyne, Inc. contract will end on January 31, 2019
with zero renewals remaining. Since CIP centrifuge projects are still ongoing and not
scheduled to go online until early/mid 2019 and into 2020, there is a schedule overlap on
timing of a new contract based on an old process (BFP) as well as addressing the needs
for the new process (centrifuges). Standard competitive bid process cannot be done
without establishing the cationic polymer specification for centrifuges and this requires full
scale cationic polymer testing.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Procurement strategy going forward:
A) Short Term: Create a Sole Source Chemical Agreement with SNF Polydyne, Inc.
for a one-year term beginning February 1, 2019 — January 31, 2020. This
Agreement will allow the Sanitation District to keep the same chemical
manufacturer to assist with the transition to the new centrifuge system.
B) Long Term: During the Sole Source Agreement term, standard competitive bid
process will be developed with new Scope of Work based on polymer
specifications for new centrifuges.
TIMING CONCERNS
N/A
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Shortages in cationic polymers will result in both Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 being unable
to ship biosolids offske because BFP will not operate without cationic polymers.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Purchasing conducted a survey and contacted local comparable agencies that also use
cationic polymer. However, none of the agencies are using the same cationic polymers
that the Sanitation District is using. Therefore, the survey was inconclusive.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: MICROSOFT ENTERPRISE LICENSE AGREEMENT (ELA) FOR
MICROSOFT ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE LICENSES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Authorize a Purchase Order for a three-year contract to purchase Microsoft
Enterprise licenses under the Microsoft ELA in accordance with Microsoft Volume
Enterprise Enrollment—for State and Local government, Riverside County Master
Licensing Agreement 01 E73970, payable annually and with a contract expiration
date of December 31, 2021, for a total amount not to exceed $1,335,952; and
B. Approve a contingency of$200,393 (15%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) relies on various Microsoft
products for key components of its software architecture, for example: Windows desktop
and server operating systems, email and calendaring, Office suite, web servers,
databases, and cyber defense software.
Renewal of the Microsoft ELA ensures that the Sanitation District receives the best pricing
on software purchases and subscriptions while staying compliant with software license
agreements and copyright law. Other benefits include access to the latest security
patches and feature updates as well as centralized license management, records
management, and tools to fulfill public records act requests.
Staff is requesting a contingency of 15% to cover any additional Microsoft licensing
required during this three-year contract. Additional licenses may be required to comply
with contractor staffing changes and new system implementations. This contingency
level is consistent with past requests for Microsoft agreements.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Sound engineering and accounting practices, complying with local, state, and
federal laws
Page 1 of 3
PROBLEM
The existing Microsoft ELA expires December 31, 2018. The Sanitation District needs
the licensing to stay current on the latest supported and secure versions of the software.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Renew the Sanitation District's Microsoft ELA for three years.
TIMING CONCERNS
Renewal of the Microsoft ELA should occur prior to December 31, 2018 to maintain
compliance of the software license agreement with Microsoft.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Access to Office365 and e-mail would lapse, and updates would become unavailable for
the rest of the licensed software.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2015 - Board of Directors authorized a Purchase Order with a three-year
contractto purchase Microsoft Enterprise licenses underthe Microsoft ELA in accordance
with Microsoft Volume Enterprise Enrollment—for State and local government, Riverside
County Master Licensing Agreement 01E73134, payable annually and with contract
expiration date of December 31, 2018 for a total amount not to exceed $874,556.22; and
approved a contingency of 15% ($131,183.43).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The County of Riverside negotiated a contract for an ELA with Microsoft to be used by
any government agency in the State of California. There are over 100 public agencies in
California currently using this contract.
The cost to purchase the licenses needed by the Sanitation District without the ELA would
be an additional $546,455, for a total of$1,882,407.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: CONTRACTED INTERNAL AUDITS TO REVIEW ORANGE COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT'S PROCUREMENT CARD PROGRAM
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the October 1, 2018 agreed-upon procedures review of the Orange
County Sanitation District's Procard program for fiscal years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017
performed by the White Nelson Diehl Evans, Certified Public Accountants.
BACKGROUND
At the direction of the Administration Committee's Audit Ad Hoc Committee, contracted
internal auditors from White Nelson Diehl Evans (WNDE) were engaged by the Orange
County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) to apply agreed-upon procedures in
reviewing the Sanitation District's purchasing policies and procedures as they relate to
purchases utilizing the Procard, including authorizations required to obtain a Procard,
records required to substantiate Procard purchases, and authorizations required for
purchases.
Attached is the Independent Accountant's Report from WNDE along with staffs
responses to the auditor's findings and recommendations pertaining to their review.
In summary, review of the Procurement Card performed by WNDE resulted in no
exceptions. However, WNDE did note seven recommendations. Staff concurred with all
recommendations and have completed six remedies to date, with the seventh in progress.
These recommendations were subsequently presented to the Audit Ad Hoc Committee.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Summary of recommendations:
1) Standard Operating Procedures Consistency
Add all transaction and monthly limits information to the Procard SOP to be consistent
with the Desktop Procedures. The Sanitation District should update the policies, so
the two documents agree. District Concurs — Policy and Procedure have been
updated.
Page 1 of 3
2) Exceptions
District should either require Division 230 to follow the Procard SOP List of Exceptions
or modify the Procard SOP to include this exclusion. The District concurs and has
excluded Division 230 from the List of Exceptions and updated its policies.
3) Furniture Purchase Ambiguity
To remove the ambiguity of the definition of office furniture, the District should add
some additional language to the Procard SOP that will provide a specific definition of
office furniture. The District concurs and has updated its policies and procedures.
4) Reconciliation Process
Step 12b of this process describes items that should be uploaded by the Procard user
during the monthly reconciliation process. Included in those items are the "receipt and
packing slip (if applicable) matching the description". This statement indicates the
requirement to electronically attach invoices and packing slips for all purchases. It is
recommended that the District require formal invoices for all purchases. The District
concurs and has updated its policies and procedures.
5) Reconciliation Process
Step 121b describes "receipt and packing slip (if applicable) matching the description".
This statement indicates the requirement to electronically attach packing slips for all
applicable purchases. During our review, some employees neither attached a packing
slip nor indicated a reason for the lack of a packing slip in the expense description.
To confirm the receipt of internet orders and to follow the District's policies and
procedures, we recommend that employees attach packing slips or indicate a reason
for a lack of a packing slip for all internet purchases. The District concurs and has
updated its policies and procedures.
6) Acronym Use
When reviewing the expense descriptions, it was noted that many acronyms are
utilized, especially for various conferences and memberships. While it is possible to
search for these acronyms on the internet and identify the entity or certification to
which it was referring, it did take some time and research. For ease of employees
reviewing the Procard purchases made in different Divisions, the District should
consider requiring acronyms to be identified in the expense descriptions. The District
concurs and has updated its policies and procedures.
7) Auditor Finding/Recommendation — Movie Ticket Purchases
There are no guidelines or policies directing the tracking or use of movie tickets. A
best practice would be for the District to have policies and procedures regarding the
tracking and use of movie tickets. The District concurs, and Finance Staff will assist
Human Resources in developing new policies and procedures.
Overall, the Audit Ad Hoc Committee concluded that no significant concerns regarding
the Procard program were uncovered by agreed-upon procedures performed by WNDE.

AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES REVIEW
PROCARDPROGRAM
FOR FISCAL YEARS 2015-2016 AND 2016-2017
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON
APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES
Board of Directors
Orange County Sanitation District
Fountain Valley, California
We have performed the procedures set forth in this report,which were agreed to by the management of
the Orange County Sanitation District, Fountain Valley, California (the District), for the fiscal years
2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The District's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal controls over the Procard program to ensure appropriate purchases are made in accordance
with the District's policies and procedures. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the
responsibility of the management of the District. Consequently, we make no representations regarding
the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been
requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and the results of those procedures are as follows:
1. We will review the District's purchasing policies and procedures as they relate to purchases
utilizing the Procard, including authorizations required to obtain a Procard, records required to
substantiate Procard purchases, and authorizations required for purchases.
Results:
We inspected the following policies and procedures provided by the District:
A. Contracts, Purchasing and Materials Management Standard Operating Procedure: Procurement
Cardholder Policy 401-1-06,hereafter referred to as the Procard SOP, and
B. Purchasing Desktop Procedure, OCSD Procard Administrator Procedures, hereafter referred to
as the Desktop Procedures.
Summary of Policies and Procedures
These policies and procedures included the following elements:
• Authorization requirements for an employee to obtain a Procard
• Procard dollar limits for single transactions and total monthly transactions by employee
category
• Authorization requirements for Procard users to exceed the limits noted above, which
includes the following:
o Email of approval sent by the Division Head to the Procard Administrator
o Approval by the Contract, Purchasing, and Material Management Manager
- 1 -
Results (Continued):
Summary of Policies and Procedures(Continued)
• Specifically prohibited purchases with a Procard unless approved, in writing, by the
Director of Finance and Administrative Services,which included the following:
o Travel-related meals and incidentals(represents IRS per diem)
o Cash advancements
o Tuition reimbursements
o Computer hardware or software (except by Division 250, Information Technology)
o Office furniture
o Fixed asset purchases
o Capital equipment
o Items currently stocked in the District's warehouses
o Facilities maintenance and repair services or parts or supplies
o Professional services agreements
o Public works contracts or agreements
o Items established on an active blanket purchase order
• Requirements for each Procard user's monthly reconciliation of the Procard statements
utilizing the Procard online software including, but not limited to,the following:
o Electronically attaching invoices and packing slips
o Completing the expense description that should contain who, what, when, where,
and how
o Completing the expense account coding
• Procedure for the Procard Administrator's (employee in the Contract, Purchasing, &
Material Management Division) review of Procard user's monthly reconciliation, which
includes verification that appropriate supporting documentation was attached for each
transaction and all required data fields were completed by the Procard user
We noted that no specific approvals, such as invoice manual or electronic signatures,were required
for purchases made utilizing the Procard.
We utilized these policies and procedures when performing procedures 2 and 3 below.
Differences between the District's Procard SOP and the District's Desktop Procedures
During our review of the District's policies and procedures over the Procard program, we noted
that the Procard SOP states that Procards have a$5,000 limit per transaction and a$5,000 limit per
month (per employee). However, the District's Desktop Procedures states that the standard limits
are $5,000 per transaction and $5,000 per month (per employee), but also notes the following
exceptions to this policy:
• IT staff have a$10,000 single transaction limit and a$50,000 monthly limit
• Buyers and Directors have no single transaction limit and a$200,000 monthly limit
For the purposes of performing these procedures, we utilized the higher limits noted in the
District's Desktop Procedures. To eliminate confusion between the Procard SOP and the Desktop
Procedures, we recommend the District update the policies so the two documents agree.
-2 -
2. We will review the authorization documents pertaining to Procard issuance and verify all
employees who hold a Procard have received the required signatures indicating the appropriate
authorization has occurred.
Results:
Before acquiring a Procard, the user signs the District's Procard agreement, which is required to be
approved by the employee's Supervisor, Manager, Division Head, and Contract, Purchasing, and
Material Management Manager. A template of the District's Procard agreement is included in
Attachment A.
Attachment B includes a list of employees and the corresponding single transaction and monthly
transaction limits held by District employees as of June 30, 2017. We inspected the authorization
documents for all employees included in this listing with no exceptions. In addition, the Procard
agreement indicates the single transaction and monthly transaction limits. We compared the limits
on the Procard agreement to the limits in the District's Desktop procedures and noted four Procard
users that had limits in excess of the District's Desktop procedures. However, these Procard limit
overages were approved in accordance with the District's policies and procedures. Therefore, we
had no exceptions in performing this procedure.
3. We will select a sample of Procard purchases, based on sample size guidance from the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and test each purchase for key internal controls
related to authorization of Procard purchases. We will also review the purchase for compliance
with the District's policies and procedures regarding Procard use.
Statistics of Sample Selected
We selected 40 monthly Procard statements from each fiscal year for a total sample size of
80 monthly Procard statements. The sample of 40 monthly Procard statements from fiscal year
2015-2016 resulted in testing 231 individual credit card transactions that totaled $88,898. The
sample of 40 monthly Procard statements from fiscal year 2016-2017 resulted in testing
345 individual credit card transactions that totaled$116,053.
Key Internal Controls and Compliance Items Tested
From our review of the District's policies and procedures over Procard usage, noted in step 1, we
reviewed the following elements for each item selected:
• Compared the single transaction and monthly transaction limits noted in the Desktop
Procedures and in the employee's signed Procard agreement to the sample transactions.
• Reviewed the goods or services purchased for propriety given the nature of the District's
business.
• Inspected invoices and packing slips (in the case of internet purchases) that supported the
purchase and verified the vendor, amount, and goods or services purchased agreed to the
monthly reconciliation performed by the employee and the monthly Procard statement.
• Reviewed the expense description included by the Procard user to determine if it was
sufficiently description, which, according to the District's Desktop Procedures requires
indication of who,what,when, where, and how.
• Reviewed the expense account selected for reasonableness given the goods or services
purchased.
• Verified the purchase was not one of the items specifically prohibited by the District's
policies and procedures as noted in procedure 1.
- 3 -
Key Internal Controls and Compliance Items Tested(Continued)
One key control we noted was the Procard Administrator's review of Procard user's monthly
reconciliation, which includes verification that appropriate supporting documentation was attached
for each transaction and all required data fields were completed by the Procard user. This review is
documented electronically in the District's online software. The Procard user prepares the monthly
reconciliation and places a checkmark in a box that communicates the transaction is ready for
review. Once the Procard Administrator reviews the transaction, they checkmark a box indicating it
has been reviewed. Once all transactions have been checked as prepared by the Procard user and
reviewed by the Procard Administrator, the file is electronically forwarded to the Finance Division
for payment. The electronic file cannot be forwarded to the Finance Division unless all transactions
have the box checked as prepared and reviewed, which is an automated control of the software
ensuring that all transactions have bene reviewed by the Procard Administrator. Once the file has
been forwarded to the Finance Division and the payment has been processed, the screen showing
the checkmark for preparation and review is no longer able to be inspected. Therefore, we were
unable to inspect the specific electronic checkmark indicating the Procard Administrator's review
for the sample selected. This control was considered performed since the electronic file was able to
be forwarded to the Finance Division for processing the payment. We did perform a walkthrough
with the Purchasing Division and inspected this process occurring on a current credit card
transaction.
The remainder of this section will address any issues we noted when performing the tests noted on
the previous page.
Results-Exceptions:
Division 230 Excluded from the Procard Policy
The District's Procard SOP identifies certain items that cannot be purchased with the Procard as
listed in procedure 1, which includes parts and supplies for plant maintenance. During our review
of the Procard transactions we noted such purchases made by the Contract, Purchasing, and
Material Management Division, Division 230. There were 10 transactions totaling $5,269 noted in
fiscal year 2015-2016 and no transactions noted in fiscal year 2016-2017. We inquired with
Division 230 if these purchases met the definition of the exception noted in procedure 1 for
"facilities maintenance and repair services or parts or supplies". Division 230 notified us that their
Division was excluded from the rules of the Procard SOP and, therefore, they could purchase parts
and supplies for plant maintenance. However, during our review of the Procard SOP, we did not
note an exclusion of Division 230 to these policies and procedures. We recommend the District
either require Division 230 to follow the Procard SOP or modify the Procard SOP to include this
exclusion.
Purchase of Furniture
As noted in the procedure 1,Procards cannot to be used for the purchase of office furniture. During
our review of the Procard transactions, we noted the purchase of an awards cabinet for the Plant 2
operations reception area in an amount of $598, which appeared to be office furniture. Per our
discussion with the Division 230, the awards cabinet is considered minor furniture and not office
furniture and is, therefore, allowable by the Procard policies and procedures. To remove the
ambiguity of the definition of office furniture, we recommend the District add some additional
language to the Procard SOP that will provide a specific definition of office furniture.
-4-
Results-Exceptions(Continued):
Lack of Supporting Documents-Invoices
The District's Desktop Procedures, Section C, step 12b describes items that should be uploaded by
the Procard user during the monthly reconciliation process. Included in those items are the "receipt
and packing slip (if applicable)matching the description". This statement indicates the requirement
to electronically attach invoices and packing slips for all purchases. During our review of ProCard
purchases, we noted two different circumstances in which an invoice was not attached as support
for a purchase:
• One employee had two identical purchases from Amazon of $161.70 each that were
charged on the same day. We inspected one invoice and one packing slip for one of the
purchases, but a second invoice and packing slip was not available for the second
purchase. Per our inquiry with the District, there was no refund in future credit card
statements for the second charge of$161.70. We were unable to inspect the supporting
documentation for the second charge.
• One employee made a purchase from Orange County Fast Print for$845.84 for vehicle
inspection books for the collections Division. The support for this charge was an email
from the vendor containing a quote for the purchase; however, a formal invoice from
the vendor was not obtained and retained in the District's records. This purchase also
did not contain a packing slip to verify receipt of the goods. We recommend the District
require formal invoices for all purchases.
Results -Observations:
General Overall Comment Regarding Expense Descriptions
The Desktop Procedures require that expense descriptions include who, what, when, where, and
how. We did note that all of these items were well documented for purchases that could be
considered more sensitive and subject to scrutiny, such as training registrations and purchases for
District events and meetings; however, most descriptions for other purchases do not include all of
these items.
When considering the divisions making the purchases and the items purchased, it may not be
necessary to include all of the elements of who, what, when, where, and how in order for the
description to be sufficient as noted in some of the more significant areas below.
The Information Technology Division often purchases various parts and licenses and do
not indicate for whom these items are for or how the items are to be used. Considering that
various users could benefit from licenses and parts could be used for various employees,
including whom or how the items are to be used may not be necessary.
The Plant Operations 1 and 2 Divisions purchase parts and supplies for plant operations
maintenance and often did not include where the item was utilized (for which piece of
equipment). When taking into account the Division is Plant Operations 1 or 2, this may be
sufficient to describe the location.
- 5 -
Results-Observations(Continued):
General Overall Comment Regarding Expense Descriptions(Continued)
Another example is when various supplies are purchased for a Division, such as spoons,
forks, and other miscellaneous items and how these items would be used for business
purposes was not included in the expense description. Given the nature of the items
purchased, it could be assumed that they are for employee use in break rooms or kitchens
and the how may be self-explanatory.
In addition, when reviewing the expense descriptions we noted that many acronyms are utilized,
especially for various conferences and memberships. While we were able to search for these
acronyms on the intemet and identify the entity or certification to which it was referring, it did take
some time and research. For ease of employees reviewing the Procard purchases made in different
Divisions, the District should consider requiring acronyms to be identified in the expense
descriptions.
Movie Tickets for the Benefit of Employees
During our review of the ProCard transactions we noted the District purchases discounted movie
tickets for the benefit of employees to procure these at the cost to the District and to be distributed
for award purposes. In the sample selected, we noted six purchases of bulk movie tickets that
totaled$8,914(for 1,020 movie tickets). Per our inquiry with the District, there are no guidelines or
policies directing the tracking or use of movie tickets. A best practice would be for the District to
have policies and procedures regarding the tracking and use of movie tickets.
Lack of Supporting Documents- Packing Slips
The District's Desktop Procedures, Section C, step 12b describes items that should be uploaded by
the Procard user during the monthly reconciliation process. Included in those items are the "receipt
and packing slip (if applicable)matching the description". This statement indicates the requirement
to electronically attach packing slips for all applicable purchases. During our review of ProCard
purchases, we noted that some employees were diligent in either attaching a packing slip for
intemet orders or including a reason for a lack of a packing slip in the expense description.
However, some employees neither attached a packing slip nor indicated a reason for the lack of a
packing slip in the expense description. We noted 151 intemet purchases that did not have packing
slips electronically attached or contain a reason for the lack of a packing slip in the expense
description. To confirm the receipt of intemet orders and to follow the District's policies and
procedures, we recommend that employees attach packing slips or indicate a reason for a lack of a
packing slip for all intemet purchases.
Summary of Results and Disclaimer
To our knowledge, an external review of the Procard program has not been performed prior to this
engagement. We have no significant concerns regarding the Procard program. The items we noted in
this report are ways to provide clarification to existing policies and procedures and to improve a
program that already contains good processes and controls.
- 6-
Summary of Results and Disclaimer(Continued)
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did
not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or
conclusion, respectively, on the Procard program. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or
conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention
that would have been reported to you.

We have audited the basic financial statements of the Orange County Sanitation District(the District) for
the year ended June 30, 2018. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about
our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, as well as certain information related to
the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter to you
dated June 6, 2018. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following
information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the District are described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements. As
described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, the District implemented GASB Statement No. 75,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPi The
implementation of GASB No. 75 resulted in a restatement of net position as of July 1, 2017, as listed in
Note 9 to the basic financial statements. Our opinion was not modified with respect to this matter. In
addition,the District implemented GASH Statement No. 81,Irrevocable Split Interest Agreements;GASB
Statement No. 85, Omnibus 2017; and GASB Statement No. 86, Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues.
However, implementation of these Standards did not materially impact the District.The District also early
adopted GASB Statement No. 89,Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction
Period. Implementation of GASB Statement No. 89 resulted in a higher interest expense on the District's
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position for the year ended June 30, 2018. The
application of existing policies was not changed during 2018.
We noted no transactions entered into by the District during the year for which there is a lack ofauthoritative
guidance or consensus.All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the
proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based
on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future
events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial
statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from
those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the District's financial statements were,
• Valuations of actuarially determined contributions, deferred outflows of resources, deferred
inflows of resources, and net pension liability for the District's employee pension plan and
additional retiree benefit account plan are based on actuarial calculations, which incorporate
actuarial methods and assumptions adopted by the Board of Directors.

• Valuations of actuarially determined contributions, deferred outflows of resources, deferred
inflows of resources, and net OPEB liability for the District's employee OPEB plan are based on
actuarial calculations,which incorporate actuarial methods and assumptions adopted by the Board
of Directors.
• Management's estimates of workers' compensation and general liability are based on reports
prepared by third party actuarial valuations. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to
develop the estimate liability in determining that they we reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is based on
evaluating individual customer accounts receivable at least one year past due and considering the
customer's financial condition,credit history and current economic conditions.
• Management's estimate of depreciation is based on the useful-lives of the capital assets. We
evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the useful-lives of the capital assets in
determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
• Fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices or significant other observable inputs
from independent published sources.We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop
the fair value of investments in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial
statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were:
• The disclosure of net pension liability and OPEB benefits in Note 5 and 6 to the financial statements,
respectively,are based on actuarial valuations.
• Transactions with Irvine Ranch Water District—Revenue Area No. 14 as disclosed in Note 7.
• Restatement-Adoption of New Accounting Standard as disclosed in Note 9.
The financial statement disclosures me neutral,consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit,other than those that are trivial,and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.There
were no misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management which were
material,either individually or in the aggregate,to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter,a disagreement with management is a financial accounting,reporting,or auditing
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or
the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our
audit.
2
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated October 29,2018.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters,similar to obtaining a"second opinion"on certain situations.If a consultation involves application
of an accounting principle to the District's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's
opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting
accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the District's auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the Management's Discussion and Analysis, Schedule of
Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability (Asset) — OCERS Pension Plan, Schedule of District
Contributions —OCERS Pension Plan, Schedule of Total Pension Liability —Additional Retiree Benefit
Plan, Schedule of Changes in Total Pension Liability-Additional Retiree Benefit Plan, Schedule of Total
OPEB Liability — Post Employment Medical Benefits Plan, and Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB
Liability—Post Employment Medical Benefits Plan,which are required supplementary information(RSI)
that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management's responses to our inquiries,the basic financial statements,and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the"Combining Area"financial statements,which accompany the financial
statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary information,we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content,and methods of preparing the information to determine that
the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements.We compared and reconciled the supplementary
information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections,which accompany the financial
statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on it.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Jennifer Cabral, Public Affairs Supervisor
SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE CONSULTANTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Services Agreementwith Townsend Public Affairs, Inc. for
State Legislative Services, Specification No. CS-2018-97013D, for the period of
January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 at a monthly rate of$6,000 per month
and not to exceed $72,000 per year, with (2) one-year renewal options.
B. Approve a Professional Services Agreement with ENS Resources for Federal
Legislative Services, Specification No. CS-2018-971BD, for the period of
January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021 at a monthly rate of$7,700 per month
and not to exceed $92,400 per year, with (2) one-year renewal options.
BACKGROUND
The legislative consultants provide advocacy services on behalf of the Orange County
Sanitation District (Sanitation District) in D.C. and Sacramento. The consultants serve as
a liaison and lobby on matters that could benefit or adversely affect the Sanitation District
or the industry as a whole.
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
At the State and Federal level, there are hundreds of bills that we track and monitor that
could have an impact to the Sanitation District or to our industry. Having an active
legislative advocacy program positions the Sanitation District for future funding. This
includes having a voice in setting good governance, playing defense on bills that could
impact the Sanitation District's ability to serve our public, and positions the Sanitation
District as an industry leader.
Page 1 of 4
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The Sanitation District needs to have a voice at the State and Federal level. With the
proposed contracts, the Sanitation District will have representation in D.C. and
Sacramento. At the direction of the Legislative and Public Affairs Committee, staff issued
a request for proposal (RFP) for professional services for Federal and State lobbying
services.
An RFP for each service was issued via Planet Bids to a total of 53 firms representing
clients in Sacramento and Washington D.C. and four submitted responses (one Federal
firm and three State firms).
PROPOSAL TABULATION STATE
The following is a list of the firms that submitted a responsive proposal:

advocacy and Townsend Public Affairs for State advocacy services. These contracts
expire on December 31, 2018.

BACKGROUND
At the March 2018 Steering Committee meeting, staff was directed to revise the written
policy regarding: travel approval, reimbursement of expenses, and possible cost sharing
among those agencies benefitting from the travel.
In addition to providing clarity, this revised policy requires that:

2) All reimbursements that are delinquent or exceed policy be approved by the Board
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Comply with Government Code Section 53232.2

PROBLEM
The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) current policy required
additional clarity and guidance for reviewing and approving requests by Board Members
to attend conferences and other events and to travel at the Sanitation District's expense.

guidance that complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
PROPOSED SOLUTION

and expense reimbursements for Board Members attending conferences or traveling on

REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
This Policy governs compensation and reimbursement of expenses for members

Board and alternate members.
ARTICLE I. DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the Board of Directors, the District is
authorized to compensate Board members in a specified amount for (1) attending each
meeting of the Board of Directors, and (2) otherwise providing a day of service to the
District. The ordinance limits compensation to a specified maximum number of days per
month. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, amend the ordinance to change
the amount of compensation and/or the maximum number of compensable days per
month.
As required by state law, t this Article identifies those activities that are

attendance at (1) each meeting of the Board of Directors; (2) each meeting of the
Standing Committee on which the Director serves; (3) each meeting of an Ad Hoc
Committee to which the Director has been duly appointed; and (4) each meeting of any
joint governmental board, committee, or association to which the Director has been
appointed as the District's representative. Each alternate Director shall be entitled to
compensation for attendance at a meeting when, and only when, the alternate Director

ARTICLE II. REIMBURSEMENT OF DIRECTORS' EXPENSES

certain expenses incurred in connection with the compensable activities described above
in Article I. The District will not reimburse Directors for any other expenses.
2
Section 2: Reimbursable Expenses.
A. Transportation.
In travelling to and from events, Directors must use the most economical form of
transportation that is reasonably consistent with the Director's travel and scheduling
requirements.
i. Mileage for Personal Vehicles.
The District will reimburse Directors for use of personal vehicles based on actual
miles traveled at the then-current "standard mileage rate" adopted by the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service for use in deducting the cost of operating an automobile for business
purposes. The District will not reimburse Directors for any other personal vehicle
expenses.
When calculating mileage traveled by a Director to attend an event, the District will
use the lesser of (1) the distance from the administrative headquarters of the Director's
member agency to the event, and (2) the actual distance traveled. Mileage
reimbursements shall not exceed the cost of the lowest available airfare.
ii. Other Transportation Expenses.
When travel by personal vehicle is impractical, the District will reimburse Directors
for the actual cost of (1) regularly-scheduled travel by airplane, train, bus, or other
commercial carrier, (2) rental cars, and (3) taxis and other comparably-priced for-hire
vehicles. The District will also reimburse Directors for related necessary travel expenses
such as baggage fees, toll charges, and parking fees. Directors must take advantage of
any government or group rates offered by a transportation provider.
Before deciding to travel by air, each Director must consider the total cost of
alternatives, including the cost of ground transportation and any necessary lodging. Each
Director should also consider alternative departure times, departure and arrival airports,
dates, departure times, and stopovers to minimize airfare. Directors should request travel
arrangements as early as possible to take advantage of lower airfares.
Generally, the District will only reimburse Directors for air travel in coach class.
When necessary based on a Director's physical needs and/or the need to conduct
meaningful work during a Flight, the Board Chair has the discretion to approve
reimbursement of first class air travel. For trips that will exceed 24 hours, Directors must
use their personal cars to travel to and from the airport, and utilize long-term airport
parking, rather than pay for a taxi or other transportation to and from the airport.
B. Lodging.
The District will reimburse Directors for actual and necessary lodging expenses
incurred in attending a conference, seminar, or meeting. Directors must take advantage
of any government rate or group rate for lodging whenever possible. If there is no
3
government or group rate, the District will reimburse Directors for lodging up to the per
diem rate used by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as the maximum allowable
deduction for business-related lodging expenses. The per diem rates are set by the
General Service Administration ("GSA")for federal employees. The rates are set forth at
GSA.gov/per diem.
Lodging in connection with an activity that lasts only one day is considered
"necessary" when the travel time to and from the activity exceeds two hours.
C. Meals.
The District will reimburse Directors for actual and necessary dining expenses
incurred while attending (1) a conference, seminar, or meeting outside of the District, or
(2) a District-related business meeting within the District. The District will reimburse
Directors up to the applicable GSA per diem rate for each separate meal set forth at
GSA.aov/per diem.
D. Incidentals.
The District will reimburse Directors for actual and necessary incidental expenses
incurred while attending a conference, seminar, or meeting outside the District, up to the
applicable GSA per diem rate set forth at GSA.gov/per diem. Reimbursable expenses
include tips given to drivers, porters, bellhops, baggage carriers, and hotel housekeepers.
E. Travel Arrangements.
Each Director must utilize District staff to arrange all travel, lodging, and event
registrations. The General Manager shall designate a District employee responsible for
making these arrangements. The General Manager shall designate a single travel
agency for use in making all travel arrangements.
Section 3: Expenses That Are Not Reimbursable.
The District will not reimburse Directors for the costs of: (1) barber and/or beauty
shop services; (2)fines for traffic or parking violations; (3) any person accompanying a
Director on a District-approved trip or event; (4) personal telephone calls; (5)
fitness/health facility use; (6) massages; (7) alcoholic beverages; (8) entertainment
(movies, sporting events, etc.); or (9) vehicle expenses other than the standard mileage
charge.
Section 4: Reimbursement Procedure.
Each Director seeking reimbursement must file with the Clerk of the Board an
expense report no later than three weeks afterthe conclusion of the compensable activity.
The report shall attach detailed, actual receipts for all expenses. The report shall
document that each expense meets the requirements for reimbursement set forth in this
policy. Without limiting the foregoing, each report shall identify the compensable activity
4
and the date, nature, and purpose of each expense for which reimbursement is sought.
For reimbursement of a personal vehicle expense at the standard mileage rate, the
expense report shall identify the date of the travel, the actual miles traveled, and the
business purpose of the travel. The General Manager shall prepare a standard form of
expense report for use by Directors in seeking reimbursement.
Section 5: Board Reports.
Each Director seeking reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with an
activity shall provide a brief report of the activity at the next regular meeting of the Board
of Directors.
Section 6: Other Expenses.
Any expense that does not meet the requirements of this policy may be reimbursed
only if the Board of Directors approves the expense at a public meeting before the
expense is incurred.
ARTICLE III. PENALTIES.
Any Director that misuses public resources or falsifies an expense report required
by this policy is subject to the following penalties: (1) loss of reimbursement privileges;
(2) restitution of the District; (3) civil penalties for misuse of public resources pursuant to
Government Code Section 8314; and/or (4) prosecution for misuse of public resources

particular philosophy and circumstances of a given agency, have run the gamut from brief

agency.

Filarsky continually works with cities, counties, and other public agencies that employ staff
personnel to do their own negotiations. This arrangement has involved all aspects of

Firm Resume
A PROFESSIONAL LAW CORPORATION
EMPLOYMENT LAW I LABOR RELATIONS I EDUCATION LAW I MANAGEMENT TRAINING
www.lcwlegal.com
FIRM RESUME
With offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, and San Diego, Liebert
Cassidy Whitmore provides services for a majority of California's public
agencies, including special districts. The Firm is a full service employment, and
labor relations law firm providing consultation, representation, litigation,
negotiation and investigation services to public agency management, as well as
legal advice on a variety of business, construction, and facilities issues. In
addition, the Firm produces a wide-range of dynamic management training
workshops and seminars in employment and labor relations issues to special
districts, cities, counties, courts, schools, and community college districts.
Negotiation Services
Members of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore have successfully negotiated thousands of labor
agreements for special districts, cities, counties, and school and college districts. The
agreements negotiated on behalf of public employers, depending upon the particular
philosophy and circumstances of a given agency, have run the gamut from brief
understandings limited to benefit items to comprehensive labor agreements that define
substantially all terns of employment. These comprehensive MOU's, through
management rights, waivers and "zipper" type clauses, provide protection to
management's ability to manage the agency. Members of the firm are experienced in
collaborative/interest based bargaining techniques as well as the more traditional labor
negotiations approach.
In addition to conducting negotiations for public employers, we continually work with
public agencies that employ staff personnel to do their own negotiations. This
arrangement has involved all aspects of consultation and related services, including
writing initial bargaining proposals, reviewing counter-proposals, providing training and
advice concerning negotiating strategies, and giving general advice when particular
problems arise.
Negotiating Impasses
Services provided by members of the firm have included direct participation, as well as
general consultation in hundreds of mediation, fact-finding and arbitration proceedings.
Strikes
We have worked with many public sector clients in contingency planning for job actions
and in assisting them in strike-related activities. A firm partner co-authored the
"Management Strike Handbook" published by the International Personnel Management
Association.
i® UEBERT CnssinY WHrrmo"
FIRM RESUME
ContractAdministration and Grievance Handling
The firm has extensive experience in the area of grievance administration, ranging from
giving advice at the administrative levels of the grievance process through litigating
arbitration cases.
Public Employment Relations Board Representation
Members of the firm have had many years of experience representing our clients in all
phases of PERB proceedings, from consultation and responses to Unfair Labor Practice
claims through PERB hearings and court appeals. A firm partner served as counsel to
the PERB Board's first Chairperson as well as serving as a PERB Administrative Law
Judge. Another firm partner served as a representative of the League of California
Cities and the California Association of Counties in the legislative and administrative
proceedings in connection with the PERB assuming jurisdiction over local agency
employment relations.
Our Aoaroach to Negotiations
> We work with and for the chief administrative official and his/her designated staff,
and through him/her with the Governing Body. We provide professional advice to
assist the agency in determining its policy goals and objectives, which then become
our goals and objectives; we see our job as applying our best efforts and skills to
achieving them.
r We believe in carefully organizing for negotiations, with goals and objectives kept
well in mind. The negotiating process, we believe, consists of definable stages, from
preparatory activities to the preliminary bargaining phases, "hard bargaining," and
finally to agreement, impasse procedure, or work action. Each stage of the process
requires an organized approach in order to maximize the chances of attaining
bargaining objectives.
> Our philosophy is not one of`union busting," but rather one of using a professional
approach that seeks to achieve and maintain professional relationships,
notwithstanding the adversarial aspects of the process.
> We call to the attention of our clients that in return for agreeing to competitive
benefit adjustments, it is reasonable for them to seek to contractually protect and
maximize their management discretion to set standards of service and retain the
prerogative to direct, assign, and stimulate employees to meet them.
n We see the conclusion of negotiations as the beginning for establishing a
constructive employer-employee organization-employee relations structure, which
requires management training and ongoing involvement with agency management on
our part.
® LIEBERT CAssIDY WHITmo"
FIRM RESUME
> While one member of the firm handles a particular negotiating unit, at least one other
designated attorney will be kept advised so that at all times the client has access to an
attorney who is familiar with the status of the situation in each bargaining unit.
Local Agency Employment Law Services
We have worked closely with city attorneys, county counsels and general counsels, and
have directly handled the representation for our local agency clients in literally hundreds
of legal proceedings before civil service and personnel boards, arbitrators, the Public
Employment Relations Board (PERB), state and federal EEO and other administrative
agencies and the courts. These proceedings have covered the full spectrum of employer-
employee relations matters, including such matters as civil service appeals, recognition
and unit representation matters, unfair labor practice charges and related negotiating
issues, employment discrimination matters, pension and disability issues, wrongful
termination and Fair Labor Standards Act claims.
Investigations Practice Group
The firm's Investigation Practice Group specializes in investigating allegations of
discrimination, harassment and other misconduct. Our investigative practice primarily
serves private sector employers and public sector agencies that are not already firm
clients. However, we also represent current clients on a case-by-case basis depending
upon the specific facts and allegations at issue.
We continue to publish articles and present workshops on the topic of investigations. Our
workshops identify the key components of a successful investigation including how and
when to begin an investigation, who should conduct the investigation, how to maintain
confidentiality, how to organize and execute an effective investigation, and how to
evaluate the facts and take corrective action once the investigation is completed.
Audit Services
By virtue of the public agency background of members of the firm, we have extensive
experience in developing local agency Employer-Employee Relations Resolutions/
Ordinances and personnel policies and procedures. A firm partner developed the
League of California Cities Sample Employer-Employee Relations and Personnel
Policies and Procedures Ordinances. The firm does extensive work in reviewing agency
civil service/personnel policies and rules to assure continuing consistency with the ever-
changing dictates of EEO and affirmative action, labor relations and other laws and
administrative regulations.
Members of the firm conduct comprehensive audits regarding agency's compliance with
the Fair Labor Standards Act(FLSA). Additionally, the firm publishes a comprehensive
guide, "Fair Labor Standards Act: A Public Sector Compliance Guide," that serves as a
reference to agencies across the country.
® LIEeERT CASSIDY WHITMORE
FIRM RESUME
To learn more about the FLSA Audits, log onto www.FLSAaudit.com where you can
find detailed information about what an FLSA audit entails.
Contracts, Construction and Facilities
We represent and advise special districts on a broad spectrum of issues in business and
facilities,both transactional and litigation. Our services include the following:
• Pre-bid issues, Bid Protest and Procedures, Subcontractor Substitution Issues
• Competitive Bidding and Contract Award Issues
• Project Delivery Methods, Architect Agreements, CM/PM Agreements
• Course of Construction Issues, Stop Payment Notices, Takeover Agreements
• Construction Litigation, Change Orders, Delay Claims
• Other Construction Issues, Labor Compliance Programs and Prevailing Wage
• Real Property and Eminent Domain, CEQA and Green Building Issues
•Non-Construction Contract Review, Purchasing Issues, Surplus Property Distribution
Public Safety Representation
On a daily basis, LCW provides advice, consul and representation to fire safety and law
enforcement management and their respective executives in a variety of issues that
impact professional public safety administrators. A number of LCW attorneys have had
the privilege of representing public safety professionals for more than 30 years. Having
proudly earned the trust and respect of several generations of public safety
professionals, LCW accommodates the emergency nature of public safety related
employee relations by being readily accessible to assist in addressing issues of
administrative leave, administrative/criminal investigations, and investigative
methodology and strategic planning. With its immense public safety related experience,
LCW brings both legal acumen and practical knowledge to its client interactions.
Disciplinary Investigations
Our attorneys are experts in both the Firefighters and Public Safety Officers Procedural
Bill of Rights and are always available to provide timely advice to your investigators.
We routinely review investigations in order to assess the strengths and weaknesses of
investigations and any discipline which may result.
Our lawyers have obtained important appellate court victories including the following
cases: Upland Police Officers Association v. City of Upland (2003) 111 Ca1.AppAth
1294; Gilbert v. Sunnyvale (2005) 130 Cal.App.4th 1264; Steinert v. Covina (2006) 146

Department et al(2008) 166 Cal.AppAth 1625.
M LIEBERT C smy Wtirrmo E
FIRM RESUME
We continue to publish articles and present workshops on the topic of internal affairs/
disciplinary investigations. Our workshops identify the key components of a successful
investigation including how and when to begin an investigation, who should conduct the
investigation, how to maintain confidentiality, how to organize and execute an effective
investigation, and how to evaluate the facts and take corrective action once the
investigation is completed.
Disciplinary Hearings
Every disciplinary case is serious, but those which occur in the public safety context are
not only serious but also complicated by the special protections afforded to public safety
personnel by laws including the Firefighters and Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill
of Rights Acts. Our lawyers have successfully handled hundreds of disciplinary cases
over the years.
Retirement Practice
The firm provides advice and counsel to public agencies regarding the laws and
regulations of public employee retirement plans, including PERS, the County 1937
Retirement Act, and local agency retirement laws, as well as on retiree health insurance
issues. The firm defends public agencies that are sued regarding retirement issues,
defends public agencies and their employees and retired employees in retirement in
cases where PERS acts to reduce benefits, and represents public agencies in disability
and industrial disability retirement appeals. The firm helps agencies defend against
PERS and other retirement board audits and, where necessary, files administrative
appeals to challenge any negative audit findings.
Members of the firm advise on all issues related to PERS, 1937 Act and STRS benefits.
For example, we provide advice and counsel to clients regarding retirement formulas,
the rules on reportable compensation, PERS and 37 Act contract amendments, disability
retirement procedures and obligations, service credit, GASB issues, unfunded liabilities,
retiree health benefits, vested rights and elected official benefits.
Retirement issues have major impacts on agency labor relations. The firm provides
strategy and guidance during negotiations in regards to retirement benefits, including
acting as chief negotiator. We review agency policies and collective bargaining
agreements/memoranda of understanding to ensure that they comply with applicable
law.
We represent agencies in retirement related administrative appeals and litigation, and
have assisted agencies defend claims of underfunding as well as fiduciary obligations.

FIRM RESUME
Litigation Services
Liebert Cassidy Whitmore attorneys strive to prevent employment or other disputes
before they arise through education, training, audits, advice, planning, and cooperative
employer-employee relations. When employment or other disputes do arise, our defense
efforts are designed to meet each client's particular needs, goals, and budget.
We specialize in representing public agencies in the defense of legal actions and enjoy
the reputation of a results-oriented, successful litigation firm. We are experts in all
phases of litigation in both federal and state courts: pleading, discovery, motion practice,
alternative dispute resolution, settlement and trial.
Our particular expertise is the defense of public agencies in actions brought by
employees, former employees, applicants or other individuals alleging employment
related claims such as violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act;
Federal Civil Rights Acts (e.g., section 1981 and 1983 claims); Americans with
Disabilities Act; Age Discrimination in Employment Act; Fair Labor Standards Act;
Meyers-Milias-Brown Act; Family and Medical Care Leave Acts; wrongful termination;
and violation of state and/or federal constitutional rights such as due process, First
Amendment and privacy rights.
The firm's attorneys have handled a number of cases that have culminated in jury trials
resulting in defense verdicts. These cases included claims for violation of constitutional
rights; violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; violation of the
disability provisions contained in the Fair Employment and Housing Act; reverse
discrimination; sex discrimination; sexual harassment; national origin discrimination;
age discrimination; intentional infliction of emotional distress and retaliation claims
under both state and federal laws.
Our expertise also includes defending and prosecuting claims on behalf of public entities
related to business, contract and property issues and construction projects and practices,
including contract disputes, delay claims, assessment of liquidated damages, stop
payment notice claims, subcontractor substitutions, boundary disputes, and many other
construction and business related claims.
Consulting and Training Services
One of the frrm's greatest sources of accomplishment comes from its record of success
in counseling and advising its clients on the best ways to avoid becoming a party to
adversary proceedings. We were "pioneers" in the training field by creating
"consortiums" of agencies. The thirty-two Employment Relations Consortiums (ERCs)
are comprised of over 500 special districts, cities, counties, schools, and community
college districts as well as other public sector agencies.
M LIEBERT C smY WHrrmo"
FIRM RESUME
As part of our ERC services, we provide ongoing training on current developments in
labor relations and personnel law on subjects including negotiation strategies;
performance evaluations; disciplinary actions; employment discrimination, including
harassment and ADA issues; Family and Medical Care Leave Acts; violence in the
workplace; effective supervision; grievance administration; law enforcement issues and
special workshops for governing board members. Experience over the years confirms
that not only have the member agencies found the consulting and training services
helpful, but an invaluable opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information
between agency management.
The firm provides individual training services to public agencies on a half-day or full-
day basis. We customize these training programs to the precise needs of the client.

STEERING COMMITTEE Meeting Date TOBE.Of Dir.
11/28/18 11/28/18
AGENDA REPORT Item Item Number
s 23
Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Celia Chandler, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: POSITION CHANGE FOR FY 2018-19 AND 2019-20
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve an upgrade of the vacant Director of Finance & Administrative Services (Salary
Grade EM25) position to Director of Engineering (Salary Grade EM27).
BACKGROUND
In January 2018, the Board approved creating a second Assistant General Manager
positiong with responsibility for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Engineering
Departments. With two Assistant General Managers in place, one Executive
Management Team (EMT) position, Director of Finance and Administrative Services, was
held vacant.
In anticipation of the retirement of Director of Operations & Maintenance (O&M), Ed
Torres in January 2019, Staff has further evaluated the Orange County Sanitation
District's (Sanitation District) organization and identified opportunities to optimize the
current management structure.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Plan for and execute succession, minimizing vacant position times
PROBLEM
The Director of O&M will retire in January 2019, creating a Director of O&M vacancy that
needs to be filled in a timely manner.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Backfill the vacant Director of O&M position by assigning those responsibilities to the
Assistant General Manager of O&M and Engineering, Rob Thompson. Reclassify the
vacant Director of Finance and Administrative Services position to Director of
Engineering. Recruit and fill the Director of Engineering position and continue to hold one
EMT position (Director of O&M) vacant.
Page 1 of 3
TIMING CONCERNS
Staff recommends approval of the position change so that the Director of Engineering
recruitment can begin now to allow time to fully transition job duties and responsibilities
and achieve greater efficiencies.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT ACTING
The Director of Engineering provides leadership and guidance to staff tasked with
planning and delivering complex engineering projects. Without continuity of leadership,
the program could experience costly delays or other problems.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
January 2018 - Board approved creating a second Assistant General Manager position
with responsibility for the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and Engineering
Departments; and appoint one of the existing department heads to assume these
additional responsibilities, while maintaining their current responsibilities; and, upon the
retirement of the existing Assistant General Manager (Bob Ghirelli), appoint one of the
existing department heads to that position, overseeing the Finance & Administrative
Services and Environmental Services departments. The resulting department head
vacancy will remain unfilled.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In January 2018, the Board approved changing the organizational structure to create a
new Assistant General Manager position to align the O&M and Engineering Departments
and provide for succession management while supporting our focus on resource
recovery, rehabilitation, and operational resiliency. One EMT position (Director of
Finance)was held vacant and the Director of Engineering position was assumed by the
new the Assistant General Manager.
Staff has further evaluated Sanitation District's organizational structure, in anticipation of
the retirement of Director of Operations & Maintenance Ed Torres in January 2019; and
identified opportunities to optimize the management structure to realize greater
efficiencies.
One of the immediate needs is to backfill the Director of O&M position. This need can be
achieved through internal movement. The Assistant General Manager of O&M and
Engineering can assume the role of Director of O&M. The Assistant General Manager
would relinquish the role of Director of Engineering. The Sanitation District would recruit
for a Director of Engineering rather than Director of 0&M.
Since the currently vacant EMT position is Director of Finance and Administrative
Services, which is at a different pay grade than the Director of Engineering, Staff is
recommending upgrading the vacancy to authorize and expedite recruitment for the
Director of Engineering.
Page 2 of 3
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The recommended pay grade change represents a potential increased salary cost of
$11,754 per year. The estimated salary savings from holding the Director of O&M position
vacant is $200,000 per year.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve the Strategic Plan 2018-2019 Update; and
B. Direct staff to implement the goals and levels of service contained in the Plan.
BACKGROUND
In November 2013, the Board of Directors adopted a Five-Year Strategic Plan. Each
year, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) reviews and updates the
Strategic Plan to make necessary changes.
In April 2017, the Sanitation District retained the firm of BHI Management Consulting to
conduct a series of one-on-one confidential interviews with interested Board Members.
In July 2017, the consultant led an employee workshop and in August 2017, took part in
the Executive Management Team's annual planning meeting to assist in the preparation
of the 2017 Strategic Plan Update. The 2017 Strategic Plan Update concluded that the
Sanitation District had completed all but one of the Strategic Goals listed in the Five-Year
Strategic Plan. The one outstanding Goal is a continuous goal.
During the 2018 Strategic Plan review and update, the Assistant General Managers met
and reviewed the recommendations from the consultant's 2017 report. The report
included information received from the Board of Directors and employee workshop
organized into potential Strategic Goals and Initiatives for the Sanitation District. Upon
reviewing the report, the Assistant General Managers developed new initiatives which
align with the Sanitation District's Strategic Goals. These new Strategic Initiatives were
shared with the Departments and presented to the full Executive Management Team at
their annual planning meeting in August 2018.
The attached document reflects the Strategic Goals and Initiatives that are being
proposed for the 2018 Strategic Plan Update. The section below includes references to
the minor edits that were made to three initiatives since the draft of the Strategic Plan was
presented to the Steering Committee last month.
Initiative 1.2: Resource Recovery — Develop Food Waste Receiving Program and
Implement Plan by 2021 and complete construction of the Food Waste Receiving Station
by 2022.
Page 1 d 3
Initiative 1.3: Air Emissions Permit Evaluations—Develop an implementation strategy to
review the Clean Air Act Title V Permits at both plants by 2022.
Initiative 4.1: Digital Workplace — Complete the next phase of implementing a more
efficient digital workplace by employing a trusted system for maintaining all electronic
records created or stored as an official record by 2022. A trusted system will allow us to
reduce paper storage space and improve the speed and efficiency of processing
documents with faster access based on electronic versions of documents.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Strategic Plan
PROBLEM
The Five-Year Strategic Plan followed a five-year development cycle with annual updates
and was not in alignment with the Sanitation District's two-year budgeting process. With
the Sanitation District entering a period of continuous maintenance and technology
improvements, a new Strategic Plan format is more appropriate.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The proposed Strategic Plan includes Strategic Goals that are broad policy statements
with smaller, more achievable supporting initiatives that move toward achieving the
strategic goals. The new proposed Strategic Plan and strategic planning process will
follow a two-year development cycle to support the two-year budgeting process and allow
for the Strategic Plan to be updated and completed in the fall prior to the development of
the two-year budget.
TIMING CONCERNS
The Strategic Plan is presented for approval in November 2018 to coordinate with the
annual budget update which begins in January 2019.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
There may be a lack of clarity and alignment between the Board and staff regarding the
priorities and goals of the Sanitation District.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
November 2017 The Board of Directors approved the 2017 Strategic Plan Update.
October 2017 A red-lined version of the Strategic Plan Update was received and
reviewed by both the Administration and Operations Committees.
October 2016 The Board of Directors received and filed the Strategic Plan Update.
December 2015 The Board of Directors approved the Strategic Plan Update dated
December 2015 and directed staff to implement the goals and levels
of service contained in the Plan.

(Sanitation District)adopted a five-year Strategic Plan that
envisioned an organizational culture that adheres to our core values
and makes efficient and effective use of all available resources.I am
pleased to report that upon completion of the five-year period,the
Strategic Goals we had set out to accomplish were completed.
As a mature utility with more than$10 billion in assets,the Sanitation
District is stepping into a unique period that will bring continuous
maintenance and technology improvements.This new Strategic
Plan includes complex goals and initiatives that will take many years
to accomplish.The new Strategic Plan proposes a rolling two-year
development cycle with biennial updates,instead of annual updates,
to support the two-year budgeting process.
The Strategic initiatives included in this Strategic Plan center
on Environmental Stewardship,Organizational Effectiveness,
Operational Optimization and Sustainability.
We look forward to achieving the goals outlined in this Strategic
Plan through the hard work of our dedicated workforce and the
commitment and support of our Board of Directors and the public
we serve.
Under the direction of the Board of Directors,I am honored to
be leading this effort and I look forward to working together to
accomplish our goals in the years ahead and continuing our
successes.
