it passes underneath the railroad tracks. Construction of the Grade Separation Project
will require the abandonment, realignment, and upsizing to an Orange County
Sanitation District (Sanitation District) pipeline within the project limits (Sewer
Modification Project). Additionally, to address existing hydraulic limitations, this Sewer
Modification Project includes upsizing of a Sanitation District pipeline downstream of the
project limits to Kimberley Avenue. A Reimbursement Agreement (Agreement) was
previously authorized by the Sanitation District Board of Directors to compensate the
City for the work to the Sanitation District facilities for both of these efforts.
This Amendment to the Agreement provides reimbursement for Construction
Management and Designer of Record engineering services related to the work on
Sanitation District facilities. The original Agreement did not include these engineering
services as these were contemplated to be contracted once the project completed
design and the scope of work was finalized. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued
by the City and firms have been selected to perform the required services.
The City advertised the project for construction bid and bids have been received.
Based on the bid amounts, the costs for construction are anticipated to be lower than
originally estimated. This Amendment provides for the redistribution of construction
cost reimbursement amounts in order to accommodate the engineering services for
Construction Management and Designer of Record support.
With this action, there is no change to the previously authorized agreement amount of
$5,050,000.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2013 - Approved Amendment No. 1 to the Reimbursement Agreement with the
City of Fullerton by adding a Buy America clause pursuant to federal requirements.
July, 2011 — Approved a Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Fullerton for costs
incurred for the modification of Sanitation District facilities within State College
Boulevard in an amount not to exceed $5,050,000 in a form approved by General
Counsel.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The City is contracting with an independent engineering consulting firm for construction
management services in order to provide oversight for the Grade Separation Project.
This same construction manager will oversee and administer the Sanitation District
Sewer Relocation and Sewer Extension Projects as part of the overall Grade Separation
Project. The City is also contracting for Designer of Record services to continue the
engineering services needed by the sewer pipeline design engineer through the course
of construction. The Sanitation District will provide construction inspection for the
Sanitation District facilities to confirm the constructed facilities are in conformance with
the Sanitation District standards.
In June 2013, the City advertised an RFP for Construction Management Services and
subsequently shortlisted five proposals for the interviews. On July 11, 2013, interviews
were conducted with AECOM, RTEA, CH2MHill, ATHALYE, and Hill International by the
City of Fullerton, OCTA, and Sanitation District representatives. Cost proposals were
submitted separately and were not part of evaluation criteria. Hill International was
unanimously chosen as the most qualified company to perform Construction
Management Services for the State College Grade Separation Project.
On November 4, 2013, four bids were received by the City for construction of the Grade
Separation Project. Based on the bids received, it is anticipated that the construction
reimbursement amount will be lower than originally anticipated. The proposed
Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement will reduce the maximum construction
reimbursement for the Sanitation District projects to an amount not to exceed $4.1
Million as compared to the $4.8 Million originally budgeted. The difference in cost will
be redistributed within the Agreement to provide for the Construction Management and
Designer of Record engineering services reimbursement with an amount not to exceed
$600,000 and $100,000, respectively. These amounts include administrative fees
stipulated in the Agreement and amounts for potential changes during construction.
Additionally, the Agreement includes an amount not to exceed $250,000 for the
engineering design services for the Sewer Extension Project. The total authorized
amount of the reimbursement agreement remains unchanged at $5,050,000.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Nick Kanetis, Director of Engineering
Project Manager: Terry Krie, Senior Construction Inspector Supervisor
SUBJECT: GEOTECHNICAL TESTING SERVICES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a Professional Services Agreement to provide on-call Materials Testing,
Inspection, and other Geotechnical Testing Services for Collection System and
Treatment Plant projects, PSA2013-001, effective January 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2016, for an amount not to exceed $200,000 with AMEC Environment &
Infrastructure, Inc.; and
B. Approve the termination of the Professional Services Agreement with
URS/Signet Testing Labs, Inc.
SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) uses outside consultants for
taking samples, laboratory and field material testing, geotechnical testing, and analysis
in support of Capital Improvement and Maintenance projects during the planning,
design, and construction of facilities both inside the plants and for the collection
systems.
The Sanitation District conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) in April 2013 for
geotechnical testing services. The Board of Directors approved entering into
Professional Services Agreements with the three top firms on June 26, 2013 for a three-
year period (FY2013-2015). One firm, URS/Signet Testing Labs, Inc., has gone through
business changes and has requested to be released from the Professional Services
Agreement. AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. was the fourth top-ranked firm
and has agreed to replace URS/Signet Testing Labs, Inc. under a new Professional
Services Agreement.
The proposed Professional Services Agreement shall cover the period from January
2014 through June 2016. The recommended contract amount is based on averages of
the number and type of tests and inspections utilized over the past three years, and the
anticipated needs going forward for the next three years. Staff will use the consultant
on an as-needed basis only. The total contract cost is not guaranteed, nor is it paid to
the consultant if their services are not used.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
June 2013 — Approved a three-year Professional Services Agreement, PSA2013-001,
with Koury Engineering & Testing, Inc.; Sequoia Consultants, Inc.; and URS/Signet
Testing Labs, Inc., providing for on-call Materials Testing, Inspection, and other
Geotechnical Testing Services for Collection and System and Treatment Plant projects,
in an amount not to exceed $200,000 per individual Agreement ($600,000 total).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District has a need for on-call sampling, laboratory and field material
testing, geotechnical testing, and analysis for Capital Improvement Program and
Maintenance projects.
The Scope of Work includes taking samples, laboratory and field material testing,
geotechnical testing, and analysis for Capital Improvement Program and Maintenance
projects.
URS/Signet Testing Labs, Inc. submitted an official letter to the Sanitation District on
October 3, 2013, stating the firm can no longer fulfill the requirements of the approved
three-year Professional Services Agreement due to business reasons and has
requested to be released from the contract. As a result, the contract with URS/Signet
Testing Labs, Inc. will be terminated. URS/Signet Testing Labs, Inc. performed less
than $1,000 worth of work under the Professional Services Agreement, and no new
tasks have been assigned to them.
Given the short duration since the award of the original Professional Services
Agreements, staff is requesting approval to enter into a new Professional Services
Agreement with the fourth top-ranking firm, AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc., to
replace the Professional Services Agreement that will be terminated with URS/Signet
Testing Labs, Inc.
AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. submitted unit rates proposals for a wide
variety of testing services. Staff reviewed the pricing and held discussions to clarify and
negotiate rates. Because this contract is as-needed, the Sanitation District has
established a not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for the term of the Professional
Services Agreement. Staff determined the final unit rate proposals to be fair and
reasonable and recommends awarding a Professional Services Agreement to AMEC
Environment & Infrastructure for an amount not to exceed $200,000.

21. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at
CONSULTANT'S sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the
SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect
and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION DISTRICT'S
officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the "Indemnified
Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, Causes of action,
suits, arbitration awards, losses,judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys'fees, disbursements and Court costs, and all
other professional, expert or 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, Suboonsultants, 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
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.

22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.

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

Project Manager: Steve Speakman, P.E., Facilities Support Services
SUBJECT: SA-11 WINTERSBURG CHANNEL SIPHON VENT REPLACEMENT,
PROJECT NO. FR11-017
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Ratify Amendment No. 2 to SA-11 Wintersburg Channel Siphon Vent Replacement,
Project No. FR11-017, with Tharsos Inc. authorizing an addition of$91,268 (62.5%) and
an additional 199 days, increasing the total Contract amount to $245,281, and
extending the Contract completion date to January 31, 2014.
SUMMARY
The work is taking place on the north side of the Warner Avenue bridge where an
inverted two barrel sewer siphon crosses under the county flood control channel. The
vent line is above ground and attached to the side of the bridge which crosses over the
Wintersburg Channel. The vent line allows the movement of foul air from the upstream
manhole structure to the downstream structure. The sewer is a part of the Knott
Interceptor Sewer system between Springdale Street and Graham Street in the City of
Huntington Beach. The original repair project involved replacing a portion of the 16 inch
diameter vent line. The old vent line cracked allowing the condensate from the moist
foul air to leak out onto the bridge supports and corrode the concrete. As a result, the
repair of the concrete pipe supports are included in this repair work.
Work performed by Amendment No. 2 now includes repair to the City's waterline due to
corrosion and the re-alignment of the vent line to accommodate an interference
between the OCSD pipeline and the County's channel widening project. In order to
minimize the cost and impacts to the County's construction project which is underway at
the same time, Tharsos Inc. was issued two Field Change Orders (FCOs) to complete
the changes to the vent line alignment and to repair the City's waterline. The FCOs
were issued to the contractor and following our procedures are based on a time and
materials basis until the final cost is negotiated.
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) contractor started repair work on the
concrete bridge support and discovered that the existing 18-inch city waterline was also
damaged by our leaking ventline. The second change to the scope of our work was a
result of the County of Orange Public Works project to increase the capacity of
Wintersburg Channel. The County notified OCSD that the pipeline conflicts with the
new channel walls. This new channel wall was specially designed by the County to
Page 1 of 3
protect OCSD's two inverted siphon barrels that run under the channel and cannot be
re-designed to accommodate the existing location of the vent line. Staff recommends
approving this this Amendment No.2.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
December, 2013 - Due to unforeseen project delays, the contract completion date of
December 31, 2013, as well as total number of days of 168, recommended to
Operations Committee, has been extended to January 31, 2014 and 199 days
respectively, and is reflected in the General Manager's recommendation to the Board.
November, 2012 — The Operations Committee approved the competitive bidding and
subsequent awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder of SA-11
Wintersburg Channel Siphon Vent Replacement Specification No. FR11-017 for a total
amount not to exceed $170,000; and approved a contingency of $34,000 (20%). The
lowest responsible and responsive bid came in at$146,000 as indicated below.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The work covered under the original contract replaced 120 feet of the above ground
portion of a siphon vent line (air jumper). With the amendments included the total
length of pipe now replaced is approximately 170 feet. The vent line will be replaced in
its entirety from the manhole on one side of the channel to the manhole on the other
side of the channel. The repair of the existing 18-inch diameter steel waterline owned
by the City of Huntington Beach consists of cutting out and replacing only a six foot
section of the pipeline.
Amendment No. 1 was issued on May 1, 2013 in the amount of $8,013 to test the
existing vent line pipe for asbestos and to revise pipe support brackets.
Due to the construction in the channel by the County's contractor, we now see damage
to our sewer line. As a separate project, we are notifying the County of the damage
seen and are seeking to have the contractor make a repair to OCSD's standards. This
matter will be separated from the current project FR11-017.
CEQA FINDINGS
Notice of exemption was filed on September 5, 2013. This project is categorically
exempt from CEQA under section 15302 (c) — replacement or reconstruction of existing
utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.

SA-11 WINTERSBURG CHANNEL SIPHON VENT PIPE REPLACEMENT
SPECIFICATION NO. FR11-017
Amendment No. 2
December 18, 2013
This Contract provides for the replacement of the above ground portions of the siphon vent pipe
(air jumper) at the Winlersburg Channel where it crosses Warner Avenue in the City of
Huntington Beach. There are two airjumpers at this bridge crossing. This project involves the
one on the northerly side of the bridge. This Contract was awarded to the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder which was Tharsos Incorporated on March 4, 2013, for a total amount
not to exceed $146,000.00.
Amendment No. 2 Includes the items listed below:
ITEM A— Repair of City Waterline:
The 18 inch waterline was damaged by the fluid leaking out of the OCSD's ventline. The City
provided the scope of the work to repair the pipeline which included removing and replacing a 6
foot segment of the pipeline along with repairing the lining and coating of the pipe. This work
was not part of the original contract work. The Contractor's back-up documentation is attached.
ITEM B— Revisions to Vent Pipe
The ventline plan and profile was modified to accommodate the work being performed by the
County of Orange. The County's work on widening the channel is happening concurrently with
the repairs to the vent pipe and their drawings did not call for relocation of the ventline. The
work being done by the County resulted in the need to replace additional quantities of the vent
pipe and also to change the alignment. This change made some of the new vent pipe that was
already fabricated unusable. The work also entails replacing buried portions of the vent pipe
with HDPE pipeline and making modifications to the manholes. This work was not part of the
original scope of work. The Contractor's back-up documentation is attached.
ITEM C—Revision to Concrete Repair and Rebar Unit Prices and Quantities
The amount of repair on the bridge pile cap extension was less than what was anticipated at bid
time. Replacement of reinforcing bars was not required. The change in quantity was more than
25% for one of the bid items. Adjustment of the unit prices and quantities resulted in a
deduction to the total contract amount. The Contractor's back-up documentation is attached.
ITEM D—Modificaton to Center Pipe Bracket
The bracket on the center pile cap extension was revised from a two piece unit to a one piece
unit to simplify installation and to reduce the time and coordination effort with the County
Contractor. The Contractor's back-up documentation is attached.
The cost in Table No. 1 below includes all direct and indirect costs for the additional work
indicated above and includes all compensation owed to the Contractor. The additional work did
impact the critical path and therefore the contract completion time was extended as indicated in
Table No. 1.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Nick Kanetis, Director of Engineering
Project Manager: Gary Conklin, Senior Engineer
SUBJECT: ON-CALL PLANNING STUDIES AGREEMENTS (PLAN2013)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Professional Services Agreements with: ARCADIS U.S.,
Inc. (PLAN2013-01); Black & Veatch Corporation (PLAN2013-02); Brown and
Caldwell (PLAN2013-03); CH2MHILL Engineers, Inc. (PLAN2013-04); and Tetra
Tech, Inc. (PLAN2013-05), to provide planning studies on a task order basis for a
three-year term, for an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 per contract; and
B. Authorize the General Manager to assign task orders throughout the contract
duration in accordance with the Purchasing Resolution No. OCSD 07-04; and
C. Approve exception to Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, Section 4.03, authorizing the
General Manager to select one of the five firms for a particular task order valued
at$100,000 or less, without having to solicit proposals from multiple firms.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting the Board of Directors award these contracts to perform engineering
planning studies on a task order basis. This approach reduces staff costs and
consultant fees, and accelerates project schedules. The studies will clarify highly
complex planning issues, which are critical to the future CIP, and requires the diverse
technical expertise that the selected firms provide.
Task orders will be assigned throughout the contact duration, subject to approval
through the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) Delegation of Authority (DOA),
Resolution No. OCSD 07-04, with an exception for studies up to $100,000, where the
General Manager may select any suitable firm. The maximum amount of any task order
may not exceed $250,000.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
The current agreements that are used to procure planning studies (Plan2010) were
approved by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2010, and expire on December
14, 2013.
Page 1 of 4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Program Approach
The Engineering Planning Division is responsible for CIP planning, and often must
perform planning studies to resolve highly complex issues that are critical to the CIP.
Consulting firms who execute these studies must have expertise in a variety of highly
technical disciplines, and sometimes provide nationally recognized experts.
The current on-call planning studies agreements (PLAN2010) were approved as a
means to expedite the procurement and execution of this work. The 15 task orders
issued under those agreements were instrumental in analyzing current conditions and
reducing future project risk in the areas of safety, hydraulic modeling, electrical capacity,
odor control, IT server room cooling, and outfall reliability.
OCSD has realized administrative costs savings of 40 to 80 staff hours per study though
this procurement vehicle, and the reduction in consultant solicitation expenses improves
proposal pricing, especially for studies in the lower cost ranges. This procurement
method provides for fair and balanced competition. It pre-negotiates staff assignments
and labor rates to insure that OCSD gets the best value and highly qualified specialist
when required.
Task Order Assignment Process
Individual task orders will be assigned throughout the contract duration. Board approval
will be required for each task order, with an exception for Category I tasks, as explained
below. The method of assigning tasks orders varies with the estimated fee amount.
For all categories, selection will be according to best value.
Category Task Cost Process Approval
I Up to$100,000 Request proposals from one or General
more fines. Manager
II Over$100,000 to $200,000 Request proposals from all firms. Operations
Committee
Over$200,000 to $250,000 Request proposals from all firms. Board
CATEGORY I TASK ORDERS
Tasks in this category involve an exception to the Delegation of Authority (DOA).
However, Section 4.08 of the DOA provides that the Board of Directors may, when it
appears in the best interests of OCSD, authorize Staff to negotiate and award a contract
for services, without observing the procedures prescribed. Staff believes this open
process inviting proposals from all interested engineering service providers balances
competition and efficiency.
Page 2 of 4
For Category I task orders, it is in OCSD's best interest to allow the General Manager to
select any single firm for a particular task order, based on the firm's suitability and
qualification for the task order, without necessarily having to obtain three proposals.
CATEGORY II TASK ORDERS
For this Category II tasks, the Project Manager will seek proposals from all firms in the
program, with a goal of obtaining at least three proposals for each task order.
TASK ORDER APPROVAL
Task order approval follows the DOA, in that task order amounts up to $100,000 will be
approved by the General Manager. Task order amounts over $100,000 to $200,000 will
be approved by the Operations Committee, and task orders over $200,000 will be
approved by the Board of Directors.
Consultant Selection Process
An RFP which outlined the Scope of Work and selection criteria was sent to all firms
who were registered in the online bidding system. Twelve proposals were received
from the following firms: AECOM, Arcadis, Black & Veatch, Brown and Caldwell,
Carollo, CH2M Hill, Hazen and Sawyer, HDR, MWH, RMC, and Tetra Tech. A panel of
staff members reviewed and ranked each proposal using the following criteria:
Evaluation Criteria Weighting
Understandin and Approach 20%
Qualifications of Firm 40%
Qualifications of Team 40%
Staff recommends awarding contracts to the five top-ranked firms as listed in the table
below.

CEQA
The project is Statutorily Exempt and will only involve feasibility studies for possible
future actions, which the agency has not approved, adopted, or funded, and will not
have a legally binding effect on later activities.
Page 3 of 4
BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE
This action does not impact the budget. The anticipated task order costs either have
individual project budgets or are identified within a divisional budget under consulting
services. This authorization complies with authority levels of the OCSD's Delegation of
Authority, with the exception requested for approval to extend the General Manager's
authority for studies up to $100,000 to select any single suitable firm in the Program for
a particular task.

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, pertain to, or relate 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
(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.
PSA PLAN2013-01
On-Call Planning Studies
Page 13 of 15
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
23. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the Department and may
be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

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

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, pertain to, or relate 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
(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.
PSA PLAN2013-02
On-Call Planning Studies
Page 13 of 15
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
23. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the Department and may
be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.

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

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, pertain to, or relate 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
(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.
PSA PLAN2013-03
On-Call Planning Studies
Page 13 of 15
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
23. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the Department and may
be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

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

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, pertain to, or relate 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
(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.
PSA PLAN2013-04
On-Call Planning Studies
Page 13 of 15
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
23. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE
The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT.
A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The
evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the Department and may
be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes.

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

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, pertain to, or relate 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
(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.

On-Call Planning Studies
Page 13 of 15
22. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs of defending
the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT'S indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this AGREEMENT until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PURCHASE ORDER #104901-OB FOR PLANT
2 TRICKLING FILTERS CARBON CHANGE OUT, SPECIFICATION NO.
S-2013-580
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Service Contract/Purchase Order #104901-OB
with Pure Air Filtration, LLC for Plant 2 Trickling Filters Carbon Change Out
[replacement], Specification No. S-2013-580 for an additional $474,800 for the
purchase of up to (4) four additional replacements (including carbon media,
materials storage fee, freight, tax, and one-time project oversight cost) for a new
total purchase order amount not to exceed $710,000; and
B. Approve a contingency of$71,000 (10%).
SUMMARY
In August 2013, OCSD awarded a Service Contract/Purchase Order to Pure Air
Filtration for installation of carbon media at the Plant 2 trickling filter's odor control
scrubbers. The original Contract covered the cost of two carbon media replacements,
which was based on a 6-month carbon media life expectancy. With escalating odor
complaints from the neighbors at Plant 2, more frequent carbon replacement is
necessary to mitigate the odor. Staff recommends replacing the carbon media every
two months through the remainder of the Contract period and purchasing it from Pure
Air Filtration, LLC because they were the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
during the recent bidding of the carbon media blend, which appears to be effective. In
addition, if OCSD were to re-bid this work, the timeframe to put a new contract in place
could extend beyond the period needed to change out the carbon to avoid further
impacts to the surrounding community.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Staff is evaluating whether more cost-effective alternatives exist to treat the foul air
instead of replacing the carbon media on a two month schedule, including transporting
the foul air from the trickling filters to existing chemical scrubbers operating at an
adjacent process or bringing in portable chemical scrubbers.

SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF PUTZMEISTER HYDRAULIC POWER UNITS
FOR PLANT NO. 2 - BIOSOLIDS PUMPING STATION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve a sole source Contract to Pumpaction Solids Handling, for the purchase
and installation of four hydraulic power units (HPU), for an amount not to exceed
$707,200, and
B. Approve a contingency of$70,720 (10%).
SUMMARY
Pumpaction Solids Handling (Pumpaction) is the sole authorized company for
Putzmeister parts and repairs. The Putzmeister HPU's provide the hydraulic pressure
required to drive the four biosolids transfer pumps used to move dewatered biosolids
from the dewatering facility to truck loading where the biosolids are transported to offsite
reuse or disposal sites. The four units currently in operation have reached their end of
useful life and replacement of worn components was determined not to be a cost
effective option compared to complete equipment replacement. The HPU's at Plant No.
2 have been in operation since 2001.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The HPU's currently perform at 60% of capacity requiring operation of additional pumps
to meet biosolids transfer requirements and enable Operations to meet its goals. Based
upon a November 2012 inspection by Pumpaction and OCSD staff, Pumpaction
recommended replacement of the four HPU's, estimating remaining useful life at two
years. This equipment replacement will ensure O&M is able to meet its biosolids
dewatering and hauling requirements through the remaining service life of the pump
station.

Quotation for Putzmeister HA110 E Power Packs
Dear Mr. Ginest,
We are pleased to offer to you this quotation for Putzmeister HA 110 E Power packs.
These are new power packs, identical to those existing, with two differences.
First, the Hydraulic Oil Tank will be made from Stainless Steel, and secondly the clean
out ports will be included from the factory. (The existing hydraulic oil tanks are carbon
steel, and did not have clean out ports; which were added about 6 years ago.)

Other Features: -Ball valves to isolate power pack from pump for service needs.
-Pick points for lifting into location.
-Identical sensors as existing power pack
We expect that it will take 4-5 days labor (one man)(+travel time) to switch out each
existing power pack for the new ones, to get the pressures adjusted, and we will need a
crane for one of those days, and there will be some travel days, travel, hotel, and meal
expenses for the service technicians doing the work.
Another consideration is will you want to change them out one, two, three, or all four
during one service trip. The additional trips for separate installations will be more costly;
but perhaps it would be a good idea to operate the new power packs for a little while to
insure that things are operating smoothly before taking another pump/power pack off
line.
At the moment new hydraulic hoses between the power pack and the hard piping are not
included, and depending on when the hard piping is replaced; and what type ends are
used we can add that as needed.
Lastly, we have asked for an identical power pack to those in use, but if PM finds that
technology has changed, and some of the older sensors, or some small components are
not available any more, it is possible we may need to adapt a few things.
Pricing:
HA 110E Power pack per above ($167,000. each); 4 Power Packs - $668,000.
Delivery: To be determined when factory returns to work from holiday today.
Service Technician Labor:
Labor for 1 Power pack exchange with expenses (1 man, 5 days) $9,800.

(Any applicable sales or use taxes additional)

Activated-sludge process — A secondary biological wastewater treatment process where bacteria
reproduce at a high rate with the introduction of excess air or oxygen, and consume dissolved
nutrients in the wastewater.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)—The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes
decomposition by microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in
water.
Biosolids — Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the
wastewater treatment process. This high-quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on
farm land or further processed as an earth-like product for commercial and home gardens to improve
and maintain fertile soil and stimulate plant growth.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) — Projects for repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of assets.
Also includes treatment improvements, additional capacity, and projects for the support facilities.
Coliform bacteria—A group of bacteria found in the intestines of humans and other animals, but also
occasionally found elsewhere used as indicators of sewage pollution. E. coli are the most common
bacteria in wastewater.
Collections system — In wastewater, it is the system of typically underground pipes that receive and
convey sanitary wastewater or storm water.
Certificate of Participation (COP) — A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the
lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues.
Contaminants of Potential Concern (CPC) — Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic
wastewater contaminants.
Dilution to Threshold (DIT) — the dilution at which the majority of the people detect the odor
becomes the D(f for that air sample.
Greenhouse gases — In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming ("greenhouse
effect').
Groundwater Replenishment (GWR) System — A joint water reclamation project that proactively
responds to Southern California's current and future water needs. This joint project between the
Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District provides 70 million gallons a
day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply.
Levels of Service (LOS)—Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance.
NOMA— N-Nitrosodimethylamine is an N-nitrosoamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been
found in the Groundwater Replenishment System process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide
with extra ultra-violet treatment.
National Biosolids Partnership (NBP) — An alliance of the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) and Water Environment Federation (WEF), with advisory support from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). NBP is committed to developing and advancing
environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory
compliance and promote public participation in order to enhance the credibility of local agency
biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance.
Plume—A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility.
Publicly-owned Treatment Works (POTW)— Municipal wastewater treatment plant.
Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Line — A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million
gallons per day (MGD) of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the
ocean for disposal, after treatment.
Sanitary sewer — Separate sewer systems specifically for the carrying of domestic and industrial
wastewater. Combined sewers carry both wastewater and urban run-off.
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) — Regional regulatory agency that
develops plans and regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions
from business and industry.
Secondary treatment — Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated-sludge process,
where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater.
Sludge—Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater.
Total suspended solids (TSS)—The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater.
Trickling filter — A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other
microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in
wastewater as it trickles over them.
Urban runoff — Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm
drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Wastewater—Any water that enters the sanitary sewer.
Watershed —A land area from which water drains to a particular water body. OCSD's service area is
in the Santa Ana River Watershed.
