FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lan C. Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: BIOSOLIDS HAULING SERVICE CONTRACT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve a Service Contract to Denali Water Solutions, LLC to collect and haul Orange County Sanitation District's biosolids from Reclamation Plant No. 1 and/or Treatment Plant No. 2 to the Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility and alternative sites if needed for the period beginning May 12, 2021 through December 21, 2022, for the unit price of $15.45 per ton of biosolids, plus fuel surcharges, for a total amount not to exceed $600,000 per contract term, with four (4) one-year renewal options: and B. Approve a 10% unit price per ton contingency. BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) released a Notice Inviting Bids on December 4, 2020 seeking bids from qualified contractors to accept delivery and haul 50 Wet Tons Per Day (WTPD) of biosolids to the Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) located at 12645 Sixth Street in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, and haul biosolids, if needed, to several other alternative management sites. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was conducted on December 16, 2020 via Microsoft Teams. Bids were due on January 12, 2021. Out of 76 prospective vendors that were notified of the invitation to bid, the Sanitation District received one (1) bid. The bid was evaluated based on pre-defined minimum qualifications and cost in accordance with the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. The incumbent contractor, Denali Water Solutions (Denali), met the minimum qualifications and offered a competitive bid with a 1% increase over their current rate. The Denali rate to haul IERCF loads in December 2020 was $15.29 plus $0.54 fuel surcharge ($15.83 total), and the new contract will be $15.45 plus the fuel surcharge based on December 2020 fuel baseline. The contract's first term will be 19 months to align the biosolids- related contracts. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1523 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 4. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain and adhere to appropriate internal planning documents (Biosolids Master Plan) • Safe, beneficial reuse of Biosolids • Comply with environmental permit requirements PROBLEM The Sanitation District's current hauling contract with Denalia to haul loads to IERCF expires on May 11, 2021. PROPOSED SOLUTION Approve a contract with Denali to haul the Sanitation District's biosolids to IERCF to maintain biosolids management diversity and sustainability. TIMING CONCERNS The current contract expires in May 2021. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If the current contract is not replaced, the Sanitation District will not have a way to deliver biosolids to IERCF. The Sanitation District would not be able to utilize this local biosolids management option. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS N/A ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The $600,000 not to exceed (NTE) value is based on the assumptions in the table below. Alternative Sites are failsafe back-ups that ensure flexibility and are used for a variety of reasons such as shutdowns at IERCF or a shortage of trucks from other contractors. Cost per Ton Annual Fuel Annual Annual Contingency Anticipated Purchase Order Tonnage NTE IERCF $15.45 $1.00 18,237 $300,000 Alternative Sites $30.00 $2.00 9,375 $300,000 (average) Total Annual Purchase Order $600,000 In 2015, the Sanitation District started sending biosolids to the Inland Empire's compost facility. In 2019, a new contract was signed for five (5) years with two (2) annual extensions.

S-2020-1208BD 1 BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is a wastewater treatment agency that owns and operates two facilities, Reclamation Plant No. 1, at 10844 Ellis Avenue, Fountain Valley and Treatment Plant No. 2, at 22212 Brookhurst Street, Huntington Beach, California. Solids collected in the primary and secondary settling basins during the liquid phases of the process are pumped to anaerobic digesters for organic waste stabilization and pathogen destruction at elevated temperatures to create biosolids. The solids are dewatered to produce about 550-600 tons per day (tpd) of biosolids that are then beneficially reused via direct farmland application and composting. OCSD requires the Contractor to collect and haul approximately 50 wet tons per day (tpd) of biosolids from OCSD's Reclamation Plant No. 1 or Treatment Plant No. 2 or both to Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) located at 12645 Sixth Street in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. In addition, OCSD may direct the Contractor to haul and transport its biosolids to locations listed in Exhibit B, Table 2 - Alternative Sites, if needed. The Contractor shall take the necessary steps to provide this hauling service, which include, but are not limited to, compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, recordkeeping, reporting, and conformance with OCSD's Biosolids Contractor Requirements (BCR) (see Appendix C). 2 DEFINITIONS 2.1 Biosolids—treated, non-hazardous solids from the wastewater treatment process that contain organic matter, plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and low levels of metals and pathogenic organisms. OCSD's Biosolids are certified and comply with the 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 503 (Class B). OCSD biosolids are dewatered using centrifuges to about 24% at Plant No. 1 and 28% at Plant No. 2. OCSD biosolids are loaded onto Contractor's trucks at Plant No. 1 and Plant No. 2 truck loading and scale out facilities and delivered by Contractor to end use facility site for processing. Grit and screenings removed during wastewater treatment process shall not constitute biosolids. 2.2 Biosolids Contractor Requirements (BCR)—A periodically updated document that explains OCSD's requirements for Contractors as well as providing other resources. Contractor shall conform to latest published version of BCR (www.ocsd.com/bcr) as specified in Section 4 Deliverables and included as Appendix C. 2.3 Biosolids Management System (BMS)—OCSD manages our biosolids using an Internal Standard based on IS014001 and the National Biosolids Partnership standard. See the BCR in Appendix C for information related to how this system impacts Contractor as well as what is specifically required. 2.4 Contractor- shall mean the party awarded the Contract for services under this Contract. 2.5 No Guaranteed Minimum Volume: Shall mean no minimum amount of biosolids guaranteed to Contractor. 2.6 OCSD / OC SAN / OC San —shall mean the Orange County Sanitation District. EXHIBIT"A" 1 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD 2.7 OCSD Project Manager— shall mean the OCSD employee who is the main point of contact for all issues related to this Contract. 2.8 Ownership of Biosolids—shall mean once biosolids are loaded into the Contractor's truck, the responsibility and ownership of the biosolids are deemed to have transferred from OCSD to the Contractor. However, OCSD maintains strict oversight of these biosolids throughout the final use process including coordination on compliance reporting and inspections, reporting incidents during transportation, and final product distribution. 2.9 Subcontractor—shall mean the party designated by the Contractor and approved by OCSD for part of this Scope of Work. See Section 3.7 for requirements. 2.10 TPD (tpd) - shall mean to wet tons per day where a ton is a measurement by weight of 2000 pounds of dewatered biosolids. 3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK 3.1 General The Contractor shall haul, transport, and deliver OCSD's biosolids to specific permitted and approved sites in quantities determined and directed by OCSD (up to 50 tpd) as referenced in this Scope of Work. Contractor is responsible for taking all required steps to provide this service, which may include, but is not limited to meeting compliance with federal, state and local transportation regulations, and conforming to OCSD's BCR (Appendix C). OCSD's biosolids meet the following specifications: • Biosolids cake dryness — 15%-35%. • Biosolids quality— Pollutant levels below Table 1 in 40 CFR Part 503.13. • OCSD typically meets Class B pathogen reduction requirements as defined in 40 CFR Part 503.32. 3.2 Description of Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility (IERCF) 3.2.1 OCSD and Inland Empire Regional Composting Authority (IERCA) have an agreement for IERCA to accept and compost approximately 250 wet tons per week, or 50 tpd of OCSD's biosolids at the IERCF. 3.2.2 The IERCF facility is located at 12645 Sixth Street Rancho Cucamonga, CA, consisting of 445,275 square feet under roof, receiving and processing over 200,000 wet tons of biosolids and producing approximately 90,000 tons of compost a year. 3.2.3 IERCA is a Joint Powers Authority formed by and between the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and Los Angeles County Sanitation District of(LACSD). 3.2.4 The IERCF hours of operation of unloading are described in Section 3.4 below. No biosolids will be accepted outside the biosolids hauling schedule, unless approved by IERCA. EXHIBIT"A" 2 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD 3.3 Biosolids Allocation 3.3.1 OCSD anticipates utilizing the Contractor's services for up to two trucks (up to 50 tpd) a day to IERCF. 3.3.2 There is no guaranteed minimum tonnage to Contractor. 3.3.3 Contractor may be assigned additional loads upon hauling availability. The allocation of additional biosolids will be at the discretion of OCSD based on the biosolids volume produced at its facilities and operational requirements. 3.3.4 IERCA operational considerations including permits, shutdowns, and other customers' needs may also impact biosolids load allocations. 3.3.5 Contractor may be required to haul to locations listed in Exhibit B, Table 2 - Alternative Sites. 3.4 Hauling to Inland Empire Regional Composting Facility 3.4.1 Contractor shall transport up to approximately 250 wet tons per week, or 50 wet tons per day of Biosolids to IERCF for composting, Monday through Friday. This quantity may be subject to change. 3.4.2 IERCF site delivery hours are from 6:15AM to 3:30PM, Monday through Friday. Hours may change at the sole discretion of IERCA. 3.4.3 Contractor shall use live-bottom belt trailers to transport biosolids to the IERCF. Trailers delivering biosolids to the site shall meet the following clearance specifications to off-load material into the biosolids hoppers. All live bottom belt type trailers require a minimum clear distance of 15" between the ground surface and any trailer structure beyond or past the rear tires. This requirement does not apply to any flexible structure like a mud flap. Flexible structures may be removed or re-positioned to allow adequate clearance. 3.4.4 Contractor shall take into account traffic conditions to meet the hauling schedule, including but not limited to utilizing toll roads, if needed, at the expense of the Contractor. Any toll charges incurred as a result of truck routes to avoid traffic will be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 3.5 Permits, Authorizations, and Records 3.5.1 Contractor shall possess and maintain all valid federal, state, and local permits, licenses, and other approved legally required documentation to haul biosolids in California. Proof of these documents must be included with your bid submittal. Contractor shall include cost for permits and any incidentals in cost to haul to all facilities listed on the Bid Price Form, Exhibit B. Use of these alternative locations will typically be on an emergency basis, so costs may be higher than routine hauls. 3.5.2 OCSD will provide Contractor with the necessary authorizations to deliver biosolids to the designated locations referred to in Exhibit B, Table 2 -Alternative Sites if needed. EXHIBIT"A" 3 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD 3.5.3 Contractor shall maintain, document, and copy OCSD on all compliance and any non-compliances with all federal, state, and local regulations. OCSD reserves the right to contact Contractor's regulators. 3.6 Cost Adjustments 3.6.1 Fuel Surcharge Adjustment Charge: 3.6.1.1 Due to the volatility of diesel fuel prices, OCSD has issued contracts for biosolids management that include fuel surcharges for the purchase of diesel. 3.6.1.2 As shown in Exhibit B, Bid Price Form, the fuel surcharge is based on a formula provided by OCSD, which requires Contractor to provide a specific "Multiplier". Among other variables, the multiplier typically considers distance and fuel efficiency of vehicles. 3.6.1.3 The Multiplier provided is multiplied by the difference in average diesel cost per gallon in the previous month in California minus $2.636, which is the base diesel fuel price per gallon in CA for December 2020 (U.S. Energy Information Administration). 3.6.1.4 The fuel surcharge Multiplier will be included in the evaluation of overall cost. 3.6.1.5 OCSD shall pay a fuel surcharge once per month based on the previous month's average pricing provided by the Department of Energy. 3.6.1.6 The fuel surcharge will only apply if the result of the calculation is greater than $0.25. 3.6.1.7 OCSD does not apply negative fuel surcharges. 3.7 Subcontractor(s) 3.7.1 Contractor may subcontract portions of this Contract. Subcontractors are subject to all requirements of this Contract.

OCSD publishes a weekly hauling schedule. Contractor shall conform to this schedule or risk loss of loads. 3.8.5 The 2017 OCSD Biosolids Management Plan's Ten Tenets set a guidance to maintain 20% fail-safe hauling capacity. As much as OCSD tries to keep as steady a weekly schedule as possible, operationally the process does vary week to week. The Contractor shall maintain at least 20% additional hauling capacity over routinely scheduled loads. 3.8.6 Contractor shall bill OCSD based on OCSD's scale-based weight tickets (not weight at IERCF). Contractor shall maintain and record truckload weight tickets. 3.8.7 Current loading windows are generally limited to Monday through Friday but are subject to change based on operational needs and biosolids availability (see Appendix C). 3.8.8 OCSD will consider Contractor's needs in setting loading times and schedules; however, operational logistics and plants considerations determine the final schedule. Wait times at the plants prior to loading average about 15 to 30 minutes, but at peak times can be as much as one (1) hour. Loading times also vary, averaging about 15-30 minutes. 3.8.9 Once biosolids are loaded into the Contractor's truck, responsibility and ownership of the biosolids are deemed to have transferred from OCSD to the Contractor. However, OCSD maintains strict oversight of these biosolids throughout the final use process including coordination of reporting incidents during transportation and final product distribution. EXHIBIT"A" 5 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD 3.8.10 OCSD has limited storage capacity. Contractor shall provide facilities, hauling, equipment, and any other means necessary to ensure its ability to manage and store biosolids produced by OCSD during inclement weather. 3.9 Loading, Drivers, and Trailers 3.9.1 OCSD reserves the right to reject loads (no make-up) or write-up the driver or trailer if any contractual or BCR (Appendix C) requirements are not met. 3.9.2 The Contractor shall be responsible for all transportation equipment.

Truck and trailer height/clearance must be less than 12 ft. Trailers must be able to load and haul a minimum of 20 tons of biosolids. 3.9.12 Trailers shall have tall sides (about eight feet high) so as to allow the driver to tarp the truck inside the loading facility, with the doors closed and without having to adjust the load since the biosolids may initially pile high in one area. 3.9.13 Trailers shall be equipped with tarping mechanism that allows the driver to tarp the truck inside the truck loading facility before the odor-control doors are opened. The tarping mechanism must be able to tarp the truck within the loading facilities' maximum clearance height of twelve (12) feet. Drivers will be allowed to exit cab to turn on the tarping mechanism once the Operator signals the all-clear after biosolids have completed loading. 3.9.14 Trailers shall be watertight. 3.9.15 Trailers shall have baffles or splashguards 18-24 inches on front, which must be completely welded or bolted and sealed. 3.9.16 Trailers shall be equipped with manual locking devices as to prevent releases from hydraulic system failures. Examples of such manual locking devices for end dumps and belt trailer would be at least two (2) turnbuckles on bottom, or two (2) on top (one on each side) and one on bottom, or two (2) on each side. 3.9.17 Trailers shall be single trailers due to OCSD's unique alignment of loading chutes at Plant No. 1 that makes unsafe to move double trailers back and forth with the odor-control doors closed. 3.9.18 Trailers shall be clearly marked with a unique ID. ID shall be visible and distinguishable. 3.9.19 Contractor shall conform with OCSD Biosolids Response & Recovery Plan (BRRP) (Appendix C). The Contractor shall notify OCSD Control Center (714-593- 7025) within 30 minutes of accidents and spills during transportation and email an incident report within 48-hours (see Section 5 Deliverables). 3.10 OCSD Scale and Biosolids Tracking Systems 3.10.1 New Driver and New Trailer Approval forms are required for each driver and trailer in order to register them in OCSD's scale software prior to arrival at OCSD. 3.10.1.1 Hauling dispatchers are required to email the form at least two business days before the drivers' or trailers' initial visit to OCSD. 3.10.1.2 Dispatchers and drivers are certifying that they understand and conform with requirements contained in the Pre-Loading Trailer Inspection Guidelines, Safety Equipment Inspection Guidelines, Biosolids Response and Recovery Procedures, OCSD Hauling Biosolids laminated cards, and BCR. EXHIBIT"A" 7 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD 3.10.2 OCSD's Biosolids Tracking System (BTS) is an online application that is used for tracking OCSD's Biosolids loads in order to ensure accurate compliance reporting (see Appendix C). 3.10.2.1 The Contractor shall validate bill of lading data for each ticket including the destination and net tons for each load shipped. 3.10.2.2 OCSD will provide the Contractor with access to the online BTS. 3.10.2.3 The BTS initiates when a bill of lading ticket is created in OCSD's truck loading scale house. 3.10.2.4 OCSD staff review and approve the tickets in the BTS as confirmed with field tickets and logs.

EXHIBIT"A" 13 of 13 Specification No. S-2020-1208BD Administration Building OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 10844 Ellis Avenue SAIV Fountain Valley, CA 92708 ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT Agenda Report (714)593 7433 File #: 2021-1524 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 5. FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: HEADWORKS REHABILITATION AT PLANT NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-105 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Receive and file Bid Tabulation and Recommendation for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105; B. Award a Construction Contract to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1 for a total amount not to exceed $222,330,000; and C. Approve a contingency of $8,893,200 (4%). BACKGROUND The headworks of a wastewater treatment plant is where all incoming sewers converge through a series of pipes, meters, flow diversions, and gates. Just as sewers cannot be readily taken out of service, neither can a headworks. The current Headworks facilities at Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) Plant No. 1 include the original facilities built and modified between the 1950s and 1960s, currently only used for emergencies, and the active facilities which entered service in 1989. The facilities are mechanically intensive, operate in a very corrosive environment, require frequent maintenance and servicing, and can generate substantial odors. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction contract to lowest responsible bidder • 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability • Zero odor incidents/events under normal operating conditions for Plant Nos. 1 and 2 Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1524 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 5. PROBLEM The existing headworks has been in service for more than 30 years without a significant rehabilitation effort. Mechanical equipment is at the end of its useful life. Structural and piping corrosion must be addressed to extend the useful life. Electrical equipment is deficient and obsolete. The grit removal system, which is intended to capture abrasive material that causes accelerated wear and tear on downstream equipment and accumulation of inert material in anaerobic digesters, does not perform well. Complete rehabilitation, including demolition of abandoned facilities, is needed to ensure efficient and reliable operation of this critical facility. The nature of these facilities makes the work highly complex and risky. The project must maintain wastewater flow in active portions of the headworks while rehabilitation work is performed. PROPOSED SOLUTION Award a Construction Contract for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105. This project will rehabilitate systems including the metering and diversion structure, the bar screen building, the bin loading building, the main sewage pump station, the grit basins, the primary influent channels, and electrical power distribution and control systems. This project will also construct new facilities including a grit pump station, grit handling building, headworks odor control and chemical facility, a drainage lift station, electrical buildings, and other support systems. The original Headworks No. 1 facilities and other unused systems will be demolished as part of this contract. For this contract, staff is proposing a lower than usual contingency for a rehabilitation project. Midway through construction, staff intends to present to the Board a review of the progress and risks encountered to date. TIMING CONCERNS Until the headworks is renovated, existing structural, electrical, and mechanical system deficiencies could require frequent and costly maintenance and could result in spills or other permit violations. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION Without this project, the risk of a spill or other permit violation will continue to increase. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Sanitation District staff has long been concerned about the limited number of bidders on such a large, complex, high risk, and long-duration project. Staff has posted the project for two years on its upcoming construction opportunities list and has discussed it with general contractors at certain construction outreach events. To avoid competition for bidders among its own projects, staff postponed advertisements of the $113 million A-Side Primary Clarifiers Replacement at Plant No. 2, Contract No. P2-98A, until bids closed on this project. Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1524 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 5. Although site videos, photographs, and drone-footages of virtually all facilities were provided to interested bidders, staff arranged a series of COVID-19 compliant site walks to further help bidders understand the facilities, risks, access constraints, and other factors that might affect the final bids. The Sanitation District advertised for bids on September 22, 2020 with bids scheduled to be received on December 15, 2020. In October, one potential bidder requested a one month bid delay indicating they might not submit a bid otherwise. In response, staff conducted a survey of potential bidders that identified only three bidders, including the requestor. To ensure at least three bids would be received, the extension was granted. On January 19, 2021, three sealed bids were received. A summary of the bids follows: Engineer's Estimate $292,299,000 Bidder Amount of Bid Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. $ 222,330,000 J.F.Shea Construction, Inc. $ 259,506,000 Shimmick Construction Co., Inc. $ 276,611,500 The bids were evaluated in accordance with Sanitation District policies and procedures. A notice was sent to all the bidders on February 4, 2021 informing them of the intent of the Sanitation District to recommend award of the construction contract to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. Staff recommends awarding a Construction Contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Kiewit Infrastructure West Co., for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No.1, Project No. P1-105, for a total amount not to exceed $222,330,000. CEQA The project is included in the "Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1 (Project No. P1-105)" Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), State Clearinghouse Number 2019049152. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with authority levels of Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (Adopted Budget, Fiscal Years 2020-2021 and 2021-22, Section 8, Page 54, Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action. Staff intends to recommend a budget reduction as part of the upcoming Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Budget Update.

CONTRACTOR's insurance shall also comply with all insurance requirements prescribed by agencies from whom permits shall be obtained for the Work and any other third parties from whom third party agreements are necessary to perform the Work (collectively, the "Third Parties"), The Special Provisions may list such requirements and sample forms and requirements from such Third Parties may be included in an attachment to the General Requirements. CONTRACTOR bears the responsibility to discover and comply with all requirements of Third Parties, including meeting specific insurance requirements, that are necessary for the complete performance of the Work. To the extent there is a conflict between the Third Parties' insurance requirements and those set forth by OCSD herein, the requirement(s) providing the more protective coverage for both OSCD and the Third Parties shall control and be purchased and maintained by CONTRACTOR. Where permitted by law, CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of recovery by subrogation because of deductible clauses, inadequacy of limits of any insurance policy, limitations or exclusions of coverage, or any other reason against OCSD, its or their officers, agents, or employees performing Work or rendering services on behalf of OCSD in connection with the planning, development and construction of the Project.

Where permitted by law, CONTRACTOR shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its Subcontractors of every tier. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to any individual or entity, even if such individual or entity (a) would otherwise have a duty of indemnification, contractual or otherwise, (b) did not pay the insurance premium, directly or indirectly, and (c) whether or not such individual or entity has an insurable interest in the property damaged. A. Limits of Insurance 1.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering SUBJECT: HEADWORKS REHABILITATION AT PLANT NO. 1, PROJECT NO. P1-105 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Approve a Professional Construction Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to provide construction support services for Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105, for an amount not to exceed $16,500,000; and B. Approve a contingency of $1,650,000 (10%). BACKGROUND Carollo Engineers, Inc. was selected as part of a competitive, qualifications-based solicitation process to design Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105. At the time of the solicitation, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) documented its intent to award a subsequent agreement to the design consultant for continuation of engineering services during construction. This project will rehabilitate systems including the metering and diversion structure, the bar screen building, the bin loading building, the main sewage pump station, the grit basins, the primary influent channels, and electrical power distribution and control systems. This project will also construct new facilities including a grit pump station, grit handling building, headworks odor control and chemical facility, a drainage lift station, electrical buildings, and other support systems. The original Headworks No. 1 facilities and other unused systems will be demolished as part of this contract. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Comply with California Government Code Section 4526 to engage the best qualified firm "on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications" and "negotiate fair and reasonable fees" • Ensure the public's money is wisely spent Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1525 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 6. PROBLEM This project requires the design consultant to provide as-needed services during construction including submittal review, responding to the Contractor's requests for information, reviewing construction change orders, participating in meetings, attending site visits, providing personnel training, preparation of standard operating procedures, providing startup assistance, and preparing record drawings. PROPOSED SOLUTION Award a Professional Construction Services Agreement with the design consultant, Carollo Engineers, Inc., to provide engineering services during construction. TIMING CONCERNS Engineering support services will be required at the start of construction. Construction is anticipated to start in May 2021. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION The engineering support services needed to facilitate and review construction activities would not be available by the Engineer of Record, which may negatively impact the contract execution. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS March 2019 - Approved a contingency increase of $5,083,398 (29%) to the Professional Design Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for the Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105, for a total contingency amount of $8,939,398 (51%). April 2018 - Approved a contingency increase of $2,103,104 (12%) to the Professional Design Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers for the Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105, for a total contingency amount of $3,856,000 (22%). May 2015 - Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers to provide engineering design services for the Headworks Rehabilitation and Expansion at Plant 1, Project No. P1-105, for an amount not to exceed $17,528,957, and approved a contingency of $1,752,896 (10%). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Carollo Engineers, Inc. has successfully furnished engineering services for this project and their support services during construction will provide continuity through the completion of this project. Staff negotiated with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for these support services in accordance with the Sanitation District's adopted policies and procedures. A review of the proposed price was conducted using estimated quantities of requests for support, as well as level of effort for preparing record drawings. The level of effort for this project is likely to be proportionally higher than typical due to the greater complexity, risks, and longer duration. Based on this review, staff determined the negotiated fee to be fair and reasonable for these services. Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1525 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 6. The negotiated upper limit, however, is not based on the worst case scenario. Midway through construction, staff intends to present to the Board a review of the progress and risks encountered. CEQA The project is included in the "Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1 (Project No. P1-105)" Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), State Clearinghouse Number 2019049152. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with authority levels of Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted (Adopted Budget, Fiscal Years 2020-2021 and 2021-22, Section 8, Page 54, Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant No. 1, Project No. P1-105) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

INDEMNIFICATION To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at CONSULTANT's sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION DISTRICT's officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses including without limitation, attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other professional, expert or consultants fees and costs and the SANITATION DISTRICT's general and administrative expenses (individually, a "Claim", or collectively, "Claims") which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or indirectly, to any work performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by CONSULTANT in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the negligent, recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals, officers, agents, employees, CONSULTANT's suppliers, consultants, subconsultants, subcontractors, and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them, regardless of any contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require CONSULTANT to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from: (A) the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or (B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or (C) the independent action of a third party who is neither one of the Indemnified Parties nor the CONSULTANT, nor its principal, officer, agent, employee, nor CONSULTANT's supplier, consultant, subconsultant, subcontractor, nor anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them. Exceptions (A) through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the obligation to indemnify hereunder. CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder. The terms of this Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties hereto. Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party, shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. PCSA PROJECT NO. P1-105 Revised 101620 HEADWORKS REHABILITATION AT PLANT 1 Page 16 of 19 23. DUTY TO DEFEND The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent, then the 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. CONSULTANT PERFORMANCE The CONSULTANT's performance shall be evaluated by the SANITATION DISTRICT. A copy of the evaluation shall be sent to the CONSULTANT for comment. The evaluation, together with the comments, shall be retained by the SANITATION DISTRICT and may be considered in future CONSULTANT selection processes. 25. COMPLIANCE WITH SANITATION DISTRICT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONSULTANT shall comply with all SANITATION DISTRICT policies and procedures including the Contractor Safety Standards, as applicable, all of which may be amended from time to time. 26. 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 PCSA PROJECT NO. P1-105 Revised 101620 HEADWORKS REHABILITATION AT PLANT 1 Page 17 of 19 ii. Advise the CONSULTANT in writing of any outstanding item or items which must be furnished, completed, or corrected at the CONSULTANT's cost. CONSULTANT shall be required to provide adequate resources to fully support any administrative closeout efforts identified in this Agreement. Such support must be provided within the timeframe requested by the SANITATION DISTRICT. Notwithstanding the final Agreement Acceptance, the CONSULTANT will not be relieved of its obligations hereunder, nor will the CONSULTANT be relieved of its obligations to complete any portions of the work, the non-completion of which were not disclosed to the SANITATION DISTRICT (regardless of whether such nondisclosures were fraudulent, negligent, or otherwise); and the CONSULTANT shall remain obligated under all those provisions of the Agreement which expressly or by their nature extend beyond and survive final Agreement Acceptance. Any failure by the SANITATION DISTRICT to reject the work or to reject the CONSULTANT's request for final Agreement Acceptance as set forth above shall not be deemed to be acceptance of the work by the SANITATION DISTRICT for any purpose nor imply acceptance of, or agreement with, the CONSULTANT's request for final Agreement Acceptance. 27. COST ESTIMATES The CONSULTANT has no control over the cost of labor, materials, equipment or services furnished by others, or over the construction contractor's methods of determining prices, or other competitive bidding or market conditions, practices or bidding strategies. CONSULTANT shall use best engineering practices along with experience and judgment, utilizing current local costs of labor, materials, equipment or services to prepare cost estimates. CONSULTANT cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, actual project construction, operation and/or lifecycle costs will not vary from cost estimates prepared by CONSULTANT. 28. THIRD PARTIES This Agreement is entered into by and for the SANITATION DISTRICT and the CONSULTANT, and nothing herein is intended to establish rights or interests in individuals or entities not a party hereto. 29. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous negotiations between them pertaining to the subject matter thereof.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Lorenzo Tyner, Assistant General Manager SUBJECT: WASTEWATER REFUNDING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS, SERIES 2021A GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager to issue new fixed rate Certificates of Participation, to be referred to as Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, in (1) an amount sufficient to refund $102,200,000 of Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2018A maturing on August 15, 2021 and (2) an additional amount sufficient to refund, subject to market conditions, up to $61,575,000 of Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series 2011A. BACKGROUND Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2018A The borrowing cost on the current outstanding Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes Series 2018A (2018A CANs) is fixed for 33.5 months and the entire $102,200,000 plus interest becomes due and payable on August 15, 2021. The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is responsible for a total repayment, including interest due, of $104,755,000 or the Sanitation District could choose to refinance the 2018A CANs. Due to the current near historically low tax- exempt cost of fixed rate debt, staff does not recommend the use of $105 million of reserves to repay the 2018A CANs. In March 2006, the Sanitation District issued $200 million of variable rate Certificates of Participation (COP), Series 2006 (2006 COPs). Alternatively, the Sanitation District could have issued debt, at an estimated cost of 4.54%, on a fixed rate basis in 2006 ("2006 Fixed Rate"). For the initial 27 months through August 2008, the average variable rate on the 2006 COPs was 2.95% or 0.22% less than the SIFMA index (weekly market index of tax-exempt variable rate obligations). As the global financial crisis took hold of the markets in the late summer of 2008, there was a significant increase in the variable rate borrowing cost to the Sanitation District, including many other municipal variable rate borrowers, with the 2006 COPs averaging 4.29% (or 1.56% above the SIFMA index) for the period between September 2008 and December 2008. The amount of the variable rate cost increase above the SIFMA index can be attributed to the weakened financial strength of the bank, DEPFA Bank plc, that was providing liquidity support on the 2006 COPs. Even with the increase in interest rates Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8. during this period of unprecedented stress, the 4.29% average cost was still lower than the 2006 Fixed Rate of 4.54%. In December 2008, the Sanitation District proactively refunded the 2006 COPs with the fixed rate Refunding COP Series 2008C Certificate Anticipation Notes (2008C CANs) yielding 0.98% for a one- year period to reduce its exposure to then higher and more volatile variable rate costs and to avoid relying on liquidity support from weakening banks. The issuance of the 2008C CANs allowed the Sanitation District to redeem the 2006 COPs at an all-in cost of less than 1.25% and avoid paying a bank rate of 4.75% which would have been effective starting a month later. Since the 2008C CANs issuance, the Sanitation District completed five additional one-year refinancings at progressively lower yields, followed by two 25-month refinancings starting in 2014, and with the most recent 33.5- month refinancing in 2018, as summarized below: Series Principal Amount Maturity Yield All-in Cost 2009B $ 165,865,000 1 Year 0.370% 0.559% 2010B 154,665,000 1 Year 0.360 0.525 2011 B 143,205,000 1 Year 0.225 0.399 2012C 131,700,000 1 Year 0.210 0.410 2013A 129,625,000 1 Year 0.170 0.390 2014B 120,850,000 25.0 months 0.320 0.523 2016B 1097875,000 25.5 months 0.840 1.002 i2018A 102,200,000 i33.5 months 11.940 12.134 Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations Series 2011A The Sanitation District's Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations Series 2011A (2011A Revenue Obligations) are subject to optional redemption on August 1, 2021. As interest rates are now lower than in 2011, there is the potential opportunity to refinance a portion of the outstanding 2011A Revenue Obligations to reduce interest costs for the Sanitation District. Under current market conditions, a refunding of $61,575,000 of the Series 2011A Revenue Obligations would generate more than 3% net present value savings (the minimum percentage required by the Sanitation District's debt policy). Shorter term tax-exempt interest rates were consistently low between 2011 and 2016, then these rates steadily increased until 2018. Since 2018, shorter term tax-exempt rates have been in a downward trend as shown in the history for the AAA General Obligation Municipal Market Data Index for 3-year (reflective of the average life of the potential 2011A Revenue Obligations refunding candidates) and 5-year tax-exempt maturities (reflective of the maximum maturity of the potential 2011A Revenue Obligations refunding candidates). Please see Exhibit A on the AAA General Obligation Municipal Market Data Index attachment. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Sanitation District Debt Policy - Financial Management Policy and Procedure 201-3-1; restructuring outstanding debt is desirable and refunding to achieve debt service savings Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8. PROBLEM 2018A CANs The 2018A CANs are due and payable on August 15, 2021 in the amount of $104,755,000. The 2018A CANs were issued with a short-term 33.5-month rate with the expectation that upon maturity the issue would be refinanced. 2011A Revenue Obligations $61,575,000 of the 2011A Revenue Obligations are currently accruing interest at rates ranging from 3.25% to 5.00%, which are higher than current market yields, and will soon be available for optional redemption on August 1, 2021. PROPOSED SOLUTION 2018A CANs The issuance of long-term fixed rate debt would allow the Sanitation District to repay the 2018A CANs at a low cost (1.51% based on current market conditions as of February 24, 2021) and avoid using $105 million of reserves for such purpose. 2011A Revenue Obligations The Sanitation District could refund up to $61,575,000 of the 2011A Revenue Obligations for net present value debt service savings of approximately $7.24 million (equal to 11.8% of refunded principal), based on current market conditions as of February 24, 2021, with a matching refunding amortization structure. TIMING CONCERNS 2018A CANs The Sanitation District must complete a refinancing by no later than August 15, 2021; otherwise, $105 million of reserves will be required to repay the 2018A CANs. 2011A Revenue Obligations The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the ability of issuers to conduct tax-exempt advance refundings (more than 90 days prior to the optional redemption date). However, the Sanitation District can conduct a current refunding if the 2011A Revenue Obligations are redeemed no earlier than 90 days before the August 1, 2021 optional redemption date. A refunding past August 1, 2021 would result in the Sanitation District continuing to pay interest costs above current market yields. Orange County Sanitation District Page 3 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION 2018A CANs Not taking action by August 15, 2021 would cause the Sanitation District to use its reserves to repay the 2018A CANs or cause an "Event of Default" due to the non-repayment to lenders. The economic ramification of an Event of Default would result in a downgrade in credit ratings, reduced access to capital and higher costs of borrowing. 2011A Revenue Obligations Not refunding the 2011A Revenue Obligations would result in the Sanitation District continuing to pay above market interest costs. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS September 2018 - Approved Resolution No. OCSD 18-17, authorizing the execution and delivery by the Sanitation District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement and a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in connection with the execution and delivery of Orange County Sanitation District Revenue Refunding Certificate Anticipation Notes, Series 2018A, such Notes evidencing principal in an aggregate amount of not to exceed $109,875,000, approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, authorizing the distribution of an Official Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in connection with the offering and sale of such Notes and authorizing the execution of other necessary documents and related actions. December 2016 - Approved Resolution No. OCSD 16-32, authorizing the execution and delivery by the Sanitation District of an Installment Purchase Agreement, a Trust Agreement and a Continuing Disclosure Agreement in connection with the Orange County Sanitation District Wastewater Refunding Revenue Obligations, Series 2017A, authorizing the execution and delivery of such Revenue Obligations evidencing principal in an aggregate amount not to exceed $91,620,000, approving a Notice of Intention to Sell, authorizing the distribution of an Official Notice Inviting Bids and an Official Statement in connection with the offering and sale of such Revenue Obligations and authorizing the execution of necessary documents and related actions. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2018A CANs The issuance of long-term fixed rate debt to refund the 2018A CANs will eliminate any future market access risks (ability to issue debt to refinance maturing debt) and interest rate risk (additional costs if rates reset higher or are higher upon a future refinancing). After the issuance of fixed rate debt, the Sanitation District will no longer be exposed to changing market conditions. Most recently, tax-exempt rates have reached historic lows due to the lack of supply of tax-exempt debt coupled with more municipalities selling taxable debt. Current fixed rates are near historical low yields as shown in the history for the AAA General Obligation Municipal Market Data Index for 10- year (close to the 8.6 year average life of fixing out the 2018A CANs) and 15-year tax-exempt Orange County Sanitation District Page 4 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8. maturities (reflective of the maximum maturity of fixing out the 2018A CANs). Please see Exhibit B on the AAA General Obligation Municipal Market Data Index attachment. In 2006, the Sanitation District intended to partially hedge against fluctuating investment portfolio earnings as the variable rates on the 2006 COPs were expected to move in tandem with changes in short-term interest rates. The 2006 COPs and subsequent CANs refinancings have mirrored short- term tax-exempt variable rate costs. The issuance of fixed rate debt to refund the 2018A CANS would remove the interest rate hedge originally desired by the Sanitation District. When the 2006 COPs were issued, the expectation of the Sanitation District was to not only hedge investment interest rate risk, but to also reduce the risk from rising interest rates resets by implementing an Accelerated Rate Management (ARM) program. Between 2006 and 2012 and in 2016, the ARM program used accrued savings, resulting from borrowing at rates lower than the 2006 Fixed Rate of 4.54%, to reduce the outstanding amount of debt at the time of each refinancing. With less outstanding debt, the Sanitation District likewise reduced its interest rate risk (if higher interest rates were to occur, the negative impact would be mitigated as the higher interest cost would be calculated on a smaller outstanding amount). The implementation of the ARM program since the issuance of the 2006 COPs has (1) reduced the outstanding principal by nearly $30 million compared to a 2006 fixed rate amortization and (2) decreased the interest rate risk to the Sanitation District as the break-even rate (the average future interest rate for the remaining debt which would result in no difference in cost from issuing fixed rate debt in 2006) is now over 15.6%. The original variable rate structure of the 2006 COPs and the past nine CANs refinancings have already saved the Sanitation District over $68 million compared to the alternative of the Sanitation District issuing fixed rate debt in 2006. The Sanitation District could refinance the 2018A CANs with another CANs financing as short-term interest rates are currently extremely low and future short-term interest rates may continue to stay low; however, the associated upfront costs of refinancing on a shrinking amount of outstanding principal makes every dollar of cost more impactful. A refinancing of the 2018A CANs with other variable debt products is also possible, but would also require the payment of ongoing costs, most notably the relatively high bank liquidity fees that require periodic renewals (generally every one to five years); in addition, to the risk of rising interest rates. Therefore, staff is recommending the refunding of the 2018A CANs with longer term fixed rate debt having a final maturity date of February 1, 2036 (which is no longer than the final maturity of the original 2006 COPs). The new refunding debt is expected to be structured with level debt service which based on market conditions as of February 24, 2021, is currently estimated to be approximately $7.61 million per year. 2011A Revenue Obligations The Sanitation District currently has ten series of debt issuances outstanding (including the 2018A CANs) in the par amount of $909,620,000 as shown in the table below: Outstanding Par Amount(') Series 2018A CANs $ 102,200,000 Series 2017A Refunding 65,815,000 Series 2016A Refunding 136,830,000 Orange County Sanitation District Page 5 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8.

There is the possibility that interest rates may change before May and, at the time of approval of the financing documents and based on market conditions at that time, staff may recommend different refinancing structures. The refundings of the 2018A CANs and 2011A Revenue Obligations can be combined into one financing which will minimize issuance costs and be sold on a competitive basis in order to obtain the lowest financing cost possible. Staff and consultants will be available to answer any questions at the Administration Committee meeting. Following is a chart listing the remaining steps to be completed for the debt refinancings: May: - Board approval of legal and disclosure documents - Financing Corporation approval of legal and disclosure documents June: - Request ratings from bond rating agencies - Rating agency discussions Orange County Sanitation District Page 6 of 7 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1542 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 8. July: - Receive ratings from rating agencies - Marketing and sale through a competitive sale process - Closing - Begin debt administration All costs involved with the refinancings, including costs for Norton Rose Fulbright, Special Counsel and Disclosure Counsel and Public Resources Advisory Group, Municipal Advisor, will be paid from the proceeds of the new refunding issue.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2021 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the Legislative Affairs Update for the month of February 2021. BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) legislative affairs program includes advocating the Sanitation District's legislative interests; sponsoring legislation (where appropriate); and seeking Local, State, and Federal funding for projects and programs. Staff will provide an update on recent legislative and grant activities. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program • Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities PROBLEM Without a strong advocacy program, elected officials may not be aware of the Sanitation District's mission, programs, and projects and how they could be impacted by proposed legislation. PROPOSED SOLUTION Continue to work with Local, State, and Federal officials to advocate the Sanitation District's legislative interests. Help to create/monitor legislation and grants that would benefit the Sanitation District, the wastewater industry, and the community as a whole. To assist in our relationship building activities, we will continue to reach out to our elected officials providing facility tours, one-on-one meetings, and trips to Washington D.C. and Sacramento. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1539 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 9. TIMING CONCERNS N/A RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If we do not work with Local, State, and Federal elected officials, legislation could be passed that negatively affects the Sanitation District and the wastewater industry as a whole. Additionally, a lack of engagement may result in missed funding opportunities. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • At the direction of an Executive Order, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has revised its procedure for reimbursement of expenditures related to the pandemic. Under the new policy, FEMA will consider 100% reimbursement for costs incurred related to the pandemic. This will cover already submitted costs and costs incurred through 2021. Currently, we have applied for approximately $260,000 based on FEMA eligible items. Staff will continue to actively work on this to ensure the Sanitation District submits for and receives any funding we are eligible for. • Staff is in the process of sending congratulatory letters, signed by the Board Chairman, to all City Council Members who have been recently elected or re-elected. This will also include Mayors, Mayor Pro Terns, and City Council Members. The letters will also invite them and their staff to take a virtual tour of Plant No. 1. • Staff is actively engaged with various local agencies, associations, and lobbyists monitoring current and upcoming legislation and the potential impact to the Sanitation District including, but not limited to, AB 377 (Assembly member Rivas and Senator Hertzberg) and SB 273 (Senator Hertzberg). SB 377 intends to make significant changes to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting process which would create a new enforcement program. SB 273 authorizes wastewater agencies to voluntarily enter into agreements with stormwater management facilities in order to manage stormwater. At the writing of this report, we are currently in a "Watch" position for both bills. • The Biden Administration recently released its regulatory rulemaking which stipulated that PFOA and PFOS should be regulated in drinking water. We will continue to keep a close eye on this issue and any others that may arise and affect the wastewater treatment process. • Dr. Violet Renick, Senior Scientist for the Sanitation District, recently testified at the Assembly Environmental Safety & Toxic Materials Committee - Microplastic Hearing. Dr. Renick presented on microplastics in wastewater, what they are, and what we currently know about them. She was invited to present along with fellow agencies, associations, and peers in the industry.

The Democratic Congress succeeded in using the Budget Reconciliation process to begin legislating federal assistance that would be the fifth package of relief in less than a year. This process all but guarantees enactment since it will only require simple majorities in both chambers and avoid the use of the filibuster in the Senate. Of special note, California's newest Senator,Alex Padilla,was appointed to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. This means that California will have a voice at the table as the committee considers water infrastructure legislation. As Congress continued to organize for the 117th Congress, OC San's newest Members of its delegation, Representatives Michelle Steel and Young Kim were appointed to committees. Steel will sit on the all-important Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure with jurisdiction over the Clean Water Act. Kim will sit on the Committee on Science Space and Technology with jurisdiction over technology and innovation policies. The other members of the delegation will remain on the committees with one change. Representative Katie Porter relinquished her seat on the Committee on Financial Services to sit on the Committee on Natural Resources. American Rescue Plan The House and Senate approved an overall spending plan totaling$1.9 trillion in new spending to combat the health and economic impacts of the pandemic. This occurred on an almost party-line vote in the House and a party-line vote in the Senate. The House and Senate then turned it efforts to developing the legislative provisions to spend the funding approved. The House is scheduled to vote on the package of spending within the next week. The Senate is expected to follow shortly thereafter, leading to expected final passage by the end of March at the latest. 11Page As agreed to in the Houses committees, the following assistance provisions of note for local governments is provided: • Special Districts currently are not eligible to receive assistance, but efforts are being made to authorize states to use 5 percent of their allocation to support Special Districts • The state of California would receive approximately$26 billion • Orange County would receive approximately$621 million • Utility Ratepayer Assistance would be addressed as follows: o $500 million to supplement$638 million provided in December relief package to help water and wastewater utilities with arrearages (Department of Health and Human Services working to issue program guidance to states in the coming weeks.) o $19 billion in supplemental emergency rental assistance that could be used to support payment of utility services o $10 billion in mortgage assistance to support payment of utility bills and mortgage payments, property taxes and insurance and other housing needs In addition to these assistance provisions, the final package is also expected to provide increased funding of health-related needs for hospital workers and other essential workers, hazard pay, and mandatory leave credits for public agencies during the pandemic. FEMA Revise Reimbursement Policy At the direction of an Executive Order, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has revised its reimbursement of expenditures related to the pandemic. Under the new policy, FEMA will consider 100% reimbursement for costs incurred related to the pandemic. This will cover already submitted costs and costs incurred through 2 02 1. The net impact of the action is that the federal government can pay the outstanding 25% of costs that were ineligible prior to the policy change. FEMA is currently developing guidance and it is appropriate to contact CALOES about potential reimbursements of outstanding costs. Administration Appointments The Biden White House has made a number of political appointments many of which have direct ties to California and California water issues. Randika Fox, who had worked for San Francisco Public Utilities Commission,will serve as the head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (UEPA) Office of Water. Camille Touton, who most recently served as Professional Staff on Subcommittee on Water Resources for Chairwoman Grace Napolitano,will lead the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Tanya Trujillo,who worked on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee as a counsel and most recently was the Executive Director of the Colorado River California Office, will be the lead for the Office of Water and Science. These officials have a deep knowledge of California water issues and specifically Southern California and should be helpful in addressing drought impacts and water quality needs of the region. The selection of North Carolina's Department of Environment leader, Michael Regan to become the USEPA Administrator is likely to boost the agency's focus on "forever" 2 1 P a g e chemicals and generally give a higher priority to enforcement. Regan sailed through his confirmation hearing, with bipartisan support, before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and is expected to be confirmed shortly. Last, Vice President Harris has selected a number of individuals to serve in her office, including Ike Irby. OC San worked with Irby to advance its priorities when he was in the Senate with Harris. Infrastructure Policymaking Once Congress completes action on the fifth COVID-19 relief package, it is expected to turn attention of a national infrastructure imitative that would likely merge core infrastructure needs with climate policy priorities. Senate and House infrastructure committee leaders met with the president where he provided strong support for a bold infrastructure initiative in the coming months. The positive outlook for infrastructure is grounded in a sense that a national infrastructure funding program could reverse the COVID-19 created economic challenges and create employment opportunities. The starting point of any package appears to be the Moving Forward Act that the House passed last year. This almost$2 trillion bill placed a priority on funding the SRF program ($60 billion) as well as new programs to provide grants ($500 million) to help water agencies adopt smart water technologies that could modernize the treatment process and conveyance of water supplies. In addition, we anticipate that any broad infrastructure policy will include climate resiliency needs to help address drought, flooding, sea level increase and other impacts upon water agencies. The outlines of any infrastructure policy remain to be developed in the coming months. However congressional staff indicate that the latter part of spring could see Congress moving aggressively to pass a bill. To this end, the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure has signaled that it plans to conduct a hearing into the Clean Water Act SRF program and its needs later this month. The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Chairman Tom Carper (D-DE) has stated that he hopes to have an infrastructure package approved by his committee by late May. 3 1 P a g e nr,SAN ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT Federal Legislative Report - February 2021 Last Updated:February 23,2021 Bills by Issue Recently Updated Bills(0) No bills to show.

Since the Legislature was sworn in on December 7, there have been approximately 1,200 bills introduced. Several hundred of these bills are empty budget trailer bills or spot bills that do not have substantive language in them. It is expected that the number of bills introduced will increase to approximately 2,700 before the bill introduction deadline on February 19. Once bills have been introduced, they must sit for 30 days before they can be acted on. The Legislature will move in the next few months to hold policy committee hearings on legislative proposals as well as budget subcommittees to consider the Newsom Administration's January Budget. Below are the upcoming relevant dates for the Legislature: February 19— Bill introduction deadline March 25 — Spring Recess begins upon adjournment Governor's COVID-19 Action Summary Below is a summary of the major COVID-19 actions taken by the State Administration in January: • February 3 — Community Vaccination Sites: Governor Newsom announced a pilot project partnership with the Biden Administration to open mass vaccination sites at the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum and California State University, Los Angeles. The site will be co-run by FEMA and CalOES. These two locations were chosen because of their proximity to diverse and socioeconomically challenges communities. • January 27— Executive Order: Governor Newsom signed an executive order (N-02-21) that will attempt to bolster the State's efforts to vaccinate as many Californians as possible as quickly as possible. The executive order reconfirms laws that grant health professionals and providers legal liability when responding to state and local emergencies, which is expected to increase the number of individuals administering vaccines. • January 25 — Improvements to Vaccine Plan: Governor Newsom announced a series of improvements to the State's vaccination plan. The new steps in the plan will make it easier for people to know when they are eligible for vaccination and how to make an appointment, accelerate the administration of vaccines on hand and improve the State's ability to track vaccination data. • January 21 — Executive Order: Governor Newsom signed an executive order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, extending the validity of medical cannabis identification cards that would otherwise have expired. Priority Legislation Although the legislative session just began, there are a few bills already introduced that TPA has preliminarily identified as priority bills for the District: AB 59 (Gabriel) - Mitigation Fee Act: fees: notice and timelines AB 59 would repeal Section 66022 of the Government Code, which establishes the 120-day statute of limitations for legal challenges to new or increased connection fees or capacity charges. Under current law, any legal challenges for water and sewer connection fee or capacity charge must be commenced within 120 days after a water or sewer agencies adopts or amends a fee. This bill would change the statute of limitations to begin once the agency actually charges the fee to the ratepayer. AB 59 would also require local agencies that collect fees in excess of the amount needed to provide their specific services to reimburse the ratepayer for that amount as opposed to re- investing that excess into reducing rates. AB 59 has been double referred to the Assembly Local Government Committee and the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee. AB 377 (Rivas) — Water quality: impaired waters AB 377 would require that by 2050, all surface waters in California be suitable for drinking, swimming, and fishing. Would change enforcement protocols at the SWRCB to make NPDES permits more stringent and would prevent the SWRCB from authorizing NPDES permits that are weaker than previous permits, or that would provide for an exceedance of water quality standards. AB 377 also provides additional enforcement requirements for NPDES permit holders and regional board compliance. AB 377 does not include a funding source for the excess requirements and lacks clarity for definitions of enforcement. AB 377 has been referred to the Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee and has not yet been assigned a hearing date. SB 45 (Portantino) — Wildfire Prevention, Safe Drinking Water, Drought Preparation, and Flood Protection Bond Act of 2022 SB 45 would establish a $5.5 billion general obligation bond that would appear on the November 2022 ballot. SB 45 would provide funding for a wide variety of natural resources and climate resilient projects including: wildfire prevention, safe drinking water and water quality, protecting fish, wildlife, and agriculture from Climate risks, and protecting coastal resources. 2 SIB 45 is a re-introduction of SIB 45 (Allen, 2018). This proposal and conversations around a climate focused bond were put on hold largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to note that Governor Newsom's January budget request did not include a climate/natural resources bond. 3 OC San State Bills of Interest 131 SD WITION Proposed Legislation 2021-2022 High Priority AB 59 Gabriel [D] This bill would increase, for fees and service charges and for fees for Referred to the Watch Legislative and Regulatory ACC-OC - NYC specified public facilities, the time for mailing the notice of the time and Assembly Local Policies: Special Districts - LOCC - NYC place of the meeting to at least 45 days before the meeting.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: PUBLIC AFFAIRS UPDATE FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2021 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file the Public Affairs Update for the month of February 2021. BACKGROUND Staff will provide an update on recent public affairs activities. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Maintain influential legislative advocacy and a public outreach program • Build brand, trust, and support with policy makers and community leaders • Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities • Listen to and seriously consider community input on environmental concerns PROBLEM The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is well-recognized within the water/wastewater industry; however, as a regional provider without direct access to our customers there is opportunity to always expand knowledge or awareness within our service area of the important work we do to protect public health and the environment and the part they can have to protect our sewer lines, our treatment plants, and the quality of water we supply for the Groundwater Replenishment System. PROPOSED SOLUTION By providing tours, community outreach, education, and general communication via the Sanitation District's website, social media outlets, and direct mailings, we have the ability to educate the community, local agencies, and businesses on our messaging such as the What2Flush program, energy production, water recycling, biosolids, and our source control program. This, in turn, helps improve the quality of wastewater that is recycled or released to the ocean.

RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION If we do not actively communicate with the community, local agencies, and area businesses about the Sanitation District, we may not have the support necessary to deliver our mission. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Activities for the month of February 2021: Virtual Tours Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our in-person Plant tours are temporarily suspended. To continue engaging with the community and our stakeholders, staff conducts virtual tours of the Plant which has allowed participants an opportunity to remotely visit the Sanitation District and learn how we protect public health and the environment. For this reporting period, we held 5 virtual tours reaching approximately 130 people. Presentations The State College Sewer Construction project team participated in a virtual community meeting for the City of Anaheim to provide a project update. Additionally, staff presented on media relations at the Association of California Cities of Orange County's Public Policy Academy with a general overview of the Sanitation District and the various career options at a virtual career day. Board Orientation Staff prepared a virtual Board Orientation and tour to welcome the new Sanitation District Directors and Alternate Directors. Awards The Santa Ana River Basin Section, the local section of the California Water Environment Association, recognized those who are making waves in the wastewater industry.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF CONTRIBUTION TO CASA EDUCATION FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP FUND GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. OC SAN 21-06, entitled "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District approving a not to exceed Annual contribution amount of $2,500 to the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) Education Foundation Scholarship Fund beginning FY 2020-2021; and Repealing Resolution No. OCSD 15-22". BACKGROUND CASA represents the interests of local clean water agencies in California that treat wastewater and produce renewable resources such as recycled water, clean energy, and soil enhancements (biosolids). Recognizing the need to recruit new professionals into the industry, CASA members encouraged the association to establish the CASA Education Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to raising money and offering competitive scholarships to support undergraduate students seeking degrees connected to working at a local public wastewater facility. Founded in 2013, the CASA Education Foundation (Foundation) was established to provide scholarships that contribute to a student's academic development and career potential in the wastewater field. The Foundation's goals are to expose students to careers in the clean water community and increase the visibility of California's publicly owned wastewater agencies with the public, civic leaders, and the academic community. Each year, the Foundation awards competitive scholarships to students pursuing higher education in engineering, environmental science, public administration, or other related fields, and who show an interest in serving the wastewater (clean water) industry. The Foundation awarded five $5,000 scholarships in 2020. Scholarship funds are obtained through fundraising events, individual contributions, and organizational contributions. The Foundation is reaching out to CASA member agencies for contributions as a means to generate a sustainable stream of income to support and possibly expand the scholarship program. Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1559 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 11. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Comply with OC San Policy (Resolution No. OCSD 15-22) • Ensure the public's money is wisely spent • Cultivate a highly qualified, well-trained, and diverse workforce PROBLEM Resolution No. OCSD 15-22 requires the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) to budget and contribute $5,000 per year to the Foundation. The existing Resolution doesn't provide flexibility to allow a contribution of less than $5,000. PROPOSED SOLUTION Adopt a Resolution stating the Sanitation District's support for the Foundation and authorizing the General Manager to approve an annual contribution up to $2,500 per year. TIMING CONCERNS The Sanitation District is currently updating the annual budget for approval by the Board of Directors in June 2021. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION The Sanitation District is required by Resolution to continue to budget and contribute $5,000 annually, and that amount would therefore be included in the 2021-22 budget. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS October 2015 - Adopted Resolution No. OCSD 15-22 entitled: "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District approving an annual contribution of $5,000 to the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) Education Foundation Scholarship Fund beginning FY 2015-2016". ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The focus of the Foundation is undergraduate education. Eligible applicants are California residents attending or incoming freshmen to an accredited college or university located in California. Each spring, applications are solicited from students pursuing degrees in engineering, environmental science, natural/water resources, public administration, or other degrees which would prepare a student for a career in a clean water agency. Clean water agencies are encouraged to publicize the scholarship opportunity and provide application materials to community members. Applicants must submit an application, statement of purpose, a coursework plan for the funded period, academic transcripts, and two letters of recommendation to be considered. The applications Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 3/16/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1559 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 11. are screened by members of the Foundation Board of Directors who make a final determination of awardees based on three criteria: • Commitment to the clean water industry. Students must demonstrate a sincere desire to pursue a career in the clean water industry. The relationship of a student's academic and career goals to the water environment community are considered in making scholarship selections. • Academic achievement. While there is no minimum grade point average to qualify for a scholarship, academic performance plays a role in deciding which students are awarded scholarships. • Extracurricular pursuits. Student applicants need to be aware of issues that face the wastewater industry and how they can contribute to enhancing the future of California's clean water community. This may be demonstrated by work experience, volunteer activity, participation in school or extracurricular projects, internships, or membership in civic, professional, or student chapter organizations. CEQA N/A FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted.

OC SAN 21-06 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT APPROVING A NOT TO EXCEED ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT OF $2,500 TO THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION AGENCIES (CASA) EDUCATION FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP FUND BEGINNING FY 2020- 2021; AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. OCSD 15-22 WHEREAS, the CASA Education Foundation administers a scholarship fund whose goal is to enhance the future of California's clean water industry by attracting new professionals into the industry. WHEREAS, the purpose of the scholarships is to help students in California pursuing undergraduate degrees in engineering, environmental science, public administration, wastewater operations, or other related fields, and showing an interest in serving the clean water industry. WHEREAS, the scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to an undergraduate student enrolled in an accredited California college or university, as determined by the applicant's academic achievement, community involvement, and commitment to a career in a clean water agency. WHEREAS, the goal of the CASA Education Foundation is to annually issue three or more scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each. WHEREAS, the Education Foundation is seeking financial contributions from CASA member agencies to support the scholarship fund and provide funding for future scholarships.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager SUBJECT: CENTRAL GENERATION ENGINE OVERHAUL AT PLANT NO. 1 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: A. Award a Sole Source Service Contract to Cooper Machinery Services to provide a Central Generation Engine No. 1 Overhaul at Plant No. 1, per Proposal 210204-839, for a total amount not to exceed $3,705,932-1 and B. Approve a contingency of $741,186 (20%). BACKGROUND The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) operates eight Central Generation (Cen Gen) engines manufactured by Cooper Bessemer. The Cen Gen facilities began service in 1993 to improve air emissions by using clean burn engine technology to convert biogas into electricity and process heat. The Cen Gen facilities supply approximately 60% of the electricity for our treatment plants. Heat recovered from the engines is used in the digestion process and for absorption chillers at Plant No. 1 providing cooling for the Administration Building, Laboratory Building, Central Generation Building, and Operations Building. The Cen Gen plants have been providing reliable service for more than 25 years and the engines are now in need of scheduled major overhauls. In October 2019, a service contract was awarded to UPS Midstream Services, Inc. to overhaul the first two of the eight engines. UPS Midstream Services was selected using a competitive proposal solicitation process. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) service and parts have been supplied through General Electric. Recently, General Electric spun off Cooper Machinery Services to provide these OEM parts and services. RELEVANT STANDARDS • Protect OC San assets • Maintain a proactive asset management program • Use all practical and effective means for resource recovery Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 3/18/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1562 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 12. • 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability PROBLEM UPS Midstream Services has been unable to complete the necessary overhaul under the October 2019 Service Contract. The first engine rebuilt under the contract has catastrophically failed twice. A third-party engineer was hired to inspect the parts and services supplied by UPS Midstream Services. This third-party engineer and Sanitation District staff agree that the parts and services supplied by the vendor do not meet the requirements of the Service Contract. Therefore, the Sanitation District terminated the Service Contract and is seeking reimbursement from UPS Midstream Services and through Sanitation District insurance providers. The Sanitation District has a South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit to operate Cen Gen Engine No.1 at Plant No. 1. That permit requires annual testing of emissions. The Sanitation District has received a very specific permit variance that requires that the engines must be operable and tested by April 2022 with a set of schedule milestones along the way. PROPOSED SOLUTION Staff recommends awarding a Service Contract to Cooper Machinery Services to provide parts and services to overhaul Cen Gen Engine No. 1 located at Plant No. 1. TIMING CONCERNS The Sanitation District has a SCAQMD air quality permit obligation to get the engine rebuilt and tested on a strict timeline. This timeline does not allow for a normal competitive solicitation process or the performance risks associated with the process. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION Failure to take action on this repair in a timely fashion risks the loss of the SCAQMD permit to operate the engine. In addition, without Engine No. 1 there is not standby capacity for energy conversion. This situation reduces overall reliability and has the potential annual cost impact of approximately $1,400,000 to offset energy purchases and incurred demand charges. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS October 2019 - Board of Directors awarded a service contract to UPS Midstream Services, Inc. to provide Central Generation Engine Overhauls at Plant Nos. 1 and 2 (for a total of two engines), Specification No. S-2019-1074BD, for a total amount not to exceed $5,636,335. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The original Service Contract with UPS Midstream Services included two engines, one at Plant No. 1 and one at Plant No. 2. This request is only for Engine No. 1 at Plant No. 1 due to the urgency of the permitting conditions and the need for a standby unit at Plant No. 1. The second engine at Plant No. 2 is being moved to an upcoming project scoped to rebuild the balance of the engines at both plants. Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 3/18/2021 powered by LegistarTM File #: 2021-1562 Agenda Date: 3/24/2021 Agenda Item No: 12. Staff believe the best opportunity to meet the timeline requirements of the SCAQMD permit variance is to retain the OEM parts and services supplier. It is also an opportunity to verify the newly created spin-off company is capable of supporting the machinery. On a parallel path, staff are pursuing an engineering study to better estimate the short, medium, and long-term viability of the current engine generators. The current direction is to rebuild the current engine generators to extend the life of the existing units, as well as the electric, gas, and process heat infrastructure for 25 years. When the next round of 125,000 hour engine rebuilds come due, it is probable that new, more efficient energy conversion technologies will be cost effective to pursue. A 20% contingency is requested in the event of unforeseen damages or delays due to the catastrophic failures the engine had incurred and delays in fabricating additional long lead time parts beyond those anticipated. The terms and conditions of the service contract are currently being reviewed. Staff anticipates a final contract for publication no later than close of business on Friday, March 19, 2021 . CEQA N/A FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS This request complies with the authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This item has been budgeted in the FY20-21 & FY 21-22 Budget, Capital Treatment System Improvement Projects, Line Item J-135 (Section 8, Pg. 44).
