SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes outside consultants
for material testing and geotechnical investigation services in support of Capital
Improvement Projects during the planning, design, and construction of facilities both
inside the plants and for the collection systems. These laboratories are responsible for
taking samples, material testing, geotechnical testing, and analysis.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) were sent to twelve area testing and analysis firms and
nine proposals were received. Proposals from Fugro West, Inc. and Kleinfelder were
both deemed unresponsive. As a result, there were seven responsive proposals that
were evaluated in accordance with defined Sanitation District procedures as required by
the Delegation of Authority (Resolution No. 07-04).
The proposed Services Agreements shall cover a three-year period (FY 2010-2013).
The agreement amount for this period was determined by staff considering average
testing and analysis hours of past years and those anticipated in support of the Capital
Improvement Program. Sanitation District staff will use these consultants on an as-
needed basis only. The total agreement cost is not guaranteed, nor is it paid to the
consultant if their services are not used.

SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes outside consultants
for surveying services in support of Capital Improvement Projects during the planning,
design, and construction of facilities both inside the plants and for the collection
systems. These licensed surveying companies are responsible for locating the position
of new facilities, checking placement of underground facilities, and performing other
varied tasks as directed by staff.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) were sent to 12 local surveying firms and nine proposals
were received. Cal Surveying, Construction Testing & Engineering, Inc., and Towill, Inc.
declined to submit a proposal. Hunsaker and Associates and RBF Consulting took
exception to certain contract provisions and were deemed non-responsive. As a result,
there were seven responsive proposals received. The proposals were evaluated in
accordance with defined Sanitation District procedures as required by the Delegation of
Authority (Resolution No. 07-04).
The proposed Professional Services Agreements are for a three-year period (FY 2010-
2013). The estimated contract amount for this period was derived by staff considering
average survey hours of past years and those anticipated in support of the Capital
Improvement Program. District staff will use these consultants on an as-needed basis
only. The total agreement cost is not guaranteed nor is it paid to the consultant if their

SUMMARY
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) utilizes outside consultants

facilities both inside the plants and for the collection systems. These consultants will be
utilized in inspection and root cause analysis for areas showing corrosion, inspection of
newly coated structures and mechanical systems, and provide their own access to
confined space areas. The corrosion consultants are also responsible for taking
samples, performing material testing/analysis, and performing other related tasks as
directed by staff.
Requests for Proposal (RFP) were sent to nine corrosion investigation firms and three
proposals were received. The proposals were evaluated in accordance with defined
Sanitation District procedures as required by the Delegation of Authority
(Resolution No. 07-04).
The proposed Professional Services Agreements are for a three-year period
(FY 2010-2013). The estimated contract amount for this period was determined by
staff considering industry experience, as well as testing and analysis workload
anticipated in support of our project volume. Sanitation District staff will use these
consultants on an as-needed basis only, and will be billed at an hourly rate based on
actual work performed. The total agreement cost is not guaranteed, nor is it paid to the
consultant if their services are not used.

Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Nick Arhontes, Director of Operations and Maintenance
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve request for transfer of $30,500 from the Generator Truck item to the Jet
Rodder item as shown in the Proposed Capital Equipment Budget Detail on FY
2009-10 Budget Update Section A, page 20; and,
2. Approve the purchase of one three-axle Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck with
Positive Displacement Blower, for an amount not to exceed $414,400.
SUMMARY
Due to the current Delegation of Authority (DOA), the General Manager is not
authorized to make a funds transfer of this type without Board approval. Fleet Services
is requesting the transfer of funds in the amount of $30,500 from the Generator Truck to
the new truck with a Positive Displacement (PD) Blower for a total of $414,400. In
accordance with DOA section 3.08, subsection C., Orange County Sanitation District
Contracts / Purchasing Division will procure the truck from the General Services Agency
program. Staff recommends the transfer of funds and the procurement.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
None
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Fleet Services Division has replacement criteria of 10 years or 100,000 miles
whichever comes first. The 1995 hydro flusher was beyond its useful life and in addition
is no longer cost effective to maintain. Fleet Services Division budgeted funds in the FY
2009-10 Capital Equipment budget for the replacement of a 1986 Generator Truck.
Based on the current fleet inventory of generator trucks and portable trailer mounted
generator units, the existing generator truck will not be replaced after it is removed from
service. The budgeted funds for the generator truck will be transferred to various
business needs including assisting with the procurement of the three-axle Combination
Sewer Cleaning Truck with Positive Displacement (PD) Blower.
The originally budgeted amount in FY 2009-10 Capital Equipment funds for the
replacement of an older and obsolete 1995 hydro flusher truck were to be used to
purchase a new two two-axle hydro flusher a.k.a. Jet Rodder for the Collections
Facilities Division of the Operations and Maintenance Department. The original amount
budgeted for the Jet Rodder was $ 383,900. Since the winter of 2007 and the FY
2008-09 and FY 2009-10 budget cycle the Division's business needs have changed
regarding equipment type.
Replacing the existing Jet Rodder with a more capable three-axle Combination Sewer
Cleaning Truck with PD Blower will perform multiple functions while increasing the use
and efficiency of staff and equipment. The PD air blower is more advantageous over the
centrifugal fan air mover that has been used in the past. This includes minimizing staff
entry into high-risk confined spaces to remove debris.

BUDGET / DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of
Authority. This item has been budgeted, but funds are insufficient. (Line item: Section
A, Page 20).
Transfer $30,500 from the Generator Truck line item to the $383,900 Jet Rodder line
item for a new total line item budget of $414,400.

firm services to the three most qualified firms and authorized the General Manager to
negotiate Rehabilitation of Magnolia Trunk Sewer, Contract No. 3-58, a Design-Build
Contract Agreement with the Design-Build firm providing "best value," as defined by the
Public Contract Code, to be awarded by the Board of Directors at a future meeting.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The proposals were ranked by an Evaluation Team of six members to determine the
proposal that provided the best value to the Sanitation District. Proposal scoring was
performed in a two step process. The first step evaluated and scored the technical
proposals and the second step evaluated and scored the cost proposals.
The first step of the evaluation of the proposals started on February 17, 2010, and was
completed on March 11 , 2010, and included the following:
1. The Evaluation Team reviewed the technical proposals and established a
preliminary scoring.
2. The Evaluation Team conducted interviews to obtain a better understanding of the
technical proposals and to clarify some of the technical aspects. The interviews
were conducted on March 9 and 10, 2010.
3. The Evaluation Team finalized their scoring of the technical portion.
The second step consisted of the Evaluation Team opening and scoring the separate
cost proposals. Final ranking of the proposals was completed by adding the scoring of
the technical and cost portions of the proposals. Final scoring was completed in
accordance with the requirements of the RFP. The final score was calculated using a
weight scale of 50% on the technical portion and 50% on the cost portion.
Final evaluation was completed on March 22, 2010. The Evaluation Team prepared an
Award Recommendation Memorandum to recommend the award based on the Design-
Build firm proposal that provided the best value.
The results of the ranking process are summarized below:

FROM: Evaluation Team
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Award
Contract No. 3-58, Magnolia Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION
OCSD, in an effort to minimize Public Works Construction schedule cost and risks, opted to utilize
the Design Build procurement and delivery method in accordance with Public Contract Code (PCC)
section 20133, as adopted by reference by PCC section 20785. California licensed General
Contractors, Architects, and Engineers who had an interest in participating in the Design Build
procurement were invited to register online. Industry comments were solicited and most were
incorporated.
Design Build procurement is a two step process. The first step consisted of soliciting eligible
proposers and ranking them from highest to lowest scores achieved. The second step is to issue a
Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit proposals from the highest ranking firms, negotiate, price and
recommend award.
Following approval by OCSD's Board of Directors on September 23, 2009, the RFP was issued to
the 5 most qualified firms.
RECOMMENDATION
The following is a recommendation by the Evaluation Team for executing a Contract for the following
Scope of Work which includes both design and construction:
The project consists of the rehabilitation of the lower reach of the of Magnolia Trunk Sewer,
comprised of approximately 23,810 feet of 48 inch PVC lined Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP),
2,630 feet of PVC lined 78 inch RCP, 30 manholes, and a 2 barrel 36 inch siphon facility located at
the intersection of Magnolia Street and Edinger Avenue. The reach contains a total of 29 , 8 to 24
inch diameter laterals. The work is to take place in the cities of Fountain Valley, Garden Grove and
Westminster, California.
The period of performance for this work is 515 calendar days.
The Notice to Proceed is anticipated to be in June 2010.

The Evaluation Team has determined that the proposal submitted by Kiewit Pacific provides the best
value to OCSD.
A recommendation is made to execute a contract with Kiewit Pacific in the amount of
$15,190,000.00. This amount is within the approved construction budget for the Project.
BACKGROUND OF PROCUREMENT
On November 16, 2009, OCSD issued an RFP to procure the Work and services outlined above.
Three Addenda were issued to modify RFP documents.
A mandatory pre-proposal conference was conducted on December 1, 2009 at OCSD facilities to
discuss the proposal submittal requirements, scope of work, schedule, key terms and conditions,
proposal preparation, submittal, and the evaluation process with potential proposers.
The Proposal Submittal Date was extended once to allow more time for reviewing Proposal
Documents and addenda contents. On February 16, 2010, five sealed proposals were received in
response to the RFP. The Proposals are valid through June 16, 2010. Proposals were submitted
by:
• Insituform Technologies, Inc.
• Kiewit Pacific Company
• SAK Construction of CA LP
• Spiniello Companies
• Steve Bubalo Construction Co.
Prior to receipt of submittals, an Evaluation Team was formed consisting of a Project Manager, an
Engineering Manager (PMO), the Senior Construction Inspector Supervisor, an OCSD Project
Engineer, a Resident Engineer, the Safety & Health Supervisor and a representative of OCSD's
Design Build Consultant (AECOM), with support from a Public Information Specialist and a second
representative from OCSD's Design Build Consultant (AECOM). The Evaluation Team was chaired
by an OCSD Contracts Administration representative.

Proposal Irregularities:
In evaluating the safety aspects of the five proposers and their teams, an anomaly has arisen
regarding subcontractors meeting the factor of 1.0 of the national average for their worker's
compensation experience modification rates (EMRs), and meeting the factor of 1.0 of the national
average for their total injury/illness rate (IIRs) and average lost work rate (ALW). Specifically, these
requirements, for subcontractors, are not mandated by statute, but only by the terms of the request
for proposals ("RFP") and each of the top five bidders has listed at least one subcontractor who does
not meet the RFP standard. Staff determined, with the consent of OCSD's General Counsel, that
these irregularities are waivable. Accordingly, the EMRs, IIRs, and ALWs for the subcontractors
which are not mandated by statute are waived at the 1 .0 factor. Subcontractors' EMRs, IIRs, and
ALWs will be held to the standard OCIP factor of 1.25.

No irregularities observed.
5. Spiniello Companies
PF-3 Reciept of Addenda Acknowledgement. Spiniello Companies did not acknowledge
Addendum #3 in their submitted Proposal. Since Addendum #3 extended the Proposal due
date and subsequent Board award date, and the Proposer submitted its Proposal by the date
and time as extended in Addendum #3, the lack of acknowledgement on PF-3 was
determined to be a minor irregularity and was cured by the Proposer's timely submittal;
therefore, the minor irregularity was waived.
CONCLUSION
It is a standard practice for Contracts Administration to provide a debriefing to all Proposers
to ensure responsiveness on future Proposals. The debriefing letters will be issued after an
award is made.
It is recommended that the award be made to Kiewit Pacific Co. for a Firm Fixed Price of
$15,190,000.00 prior to the June 16, 2010 expiration date in order to secure current price.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve Amendment No. 10 to the Professional Services Agreement with Integrated
Program Management Consultants, a joint venture of Parsons Water and Infrastructure,
Inc., and CH2M Hill, Inc., authorizing:
1. Establish an amount not to exceed $13,770,000 for year nine (Fiscal Year 2010-11)
of the ten-year contract; and,
2. Increase the amount of the ten-year contract to a total amount not to exceed
$122,724,978.
SUMMARY
We are currently in the eighth year of a ten-year contract with Integrated Program
Management Consultants (IPMC). It is anticipated that the current Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) will require the use of IPMC through Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-12 to
coincide with the completion of the secondary treatment expansion projects.
Staff will be working on 76 active projects during FY 2010-11 with estimated CIP
expenditures of approximately $179,000,000.
A detailed planning effort, along with resource forecasting, has identified the need for 54
IPMC staff to augment the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) staff to
complete FY 2010-11 work. This total is eight less staff than the FY 2009-10
authorization of 62 staff. IPMC will augment Sanitation District staff in Division 750
(Project Management), Division 760 (Engineering and Construction), Division 770
(Facilities Engineering) and Division 780 (Asset Management). The functions these
people will perform are described in more detail below.
The benefits provided by IPMC include the rapid mobilization of highly skilled/technical
staff, flexibility to change the mix of staff positions on an immediate and as-needed
basis, the ability to reduce staff as workloads decrease, expertise in project controls,
single point responsibility for contracted work, training and development of Sanitation
District staff, access to technical expert to support special efforts, and many years of
experience working on similar programs throughout the United States and the world.
Staff believes that using a Program Management Consultant approach is a practical,
Form No.DW-102.2 Agenda Report—Board

Page 1
cost-effective, and efficient way to augment Sanitation District staff to deliver the CIP
during the next two years of peak CIP work.
The Sanitation District is also pleased with the professionalism, expertise, and overall
level of service that we have received from IPMC to date.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Based on the current schedule and project workload, staff has estimated the level of
effort that will be required from IPMC through FY 2011-2012.
It is currently anticipated that no IPMC Staff will be required after FY 2011-2012;
however, we will continually estimate the need for staff, both permanent and temporary,
to support the CIP.
The Sanitation District is continually evaluating whether to hire permanent staff and
reduce the number of IPMC staff. For the anticipated ten-year duration of the IPMC
contract, the overall staff cost associated with the CIP is approximately $312 million
(currently estimated at $190 million for Sanitation District staff, and $122 million for
IPMC staff). During this period of time, the Sanitation District will be expending
approximately $2.3 billion for engineering, design, and construction of capital facilities.
The $122 million planned to be expended for IPMC support equates to 6.0% of the total
CIP expenditures.
The average hourly billing rate for IPMC staff during FY 2009-10 was approximately
$133/hr. IPMC billing rates include salaries, benefits, fixed costs which are sometimes
referred to as overhead (buildings, administration, utilities, insurance, etc.), and a 5%
profit. The "overhead" rate which is applied to an employee's raw salary is
approximately 145% for IPMC. As a comparison, the engineering consultants who
conduct studies and develop designs for the Sanitation District typically have an
overhead rate range of about 190 to 200%. The IPMC overhead rate is less than typical
consultant contracts because the Sanitation District is providing office space and
equipment for IPMC field staff.
The costs for IPMC will be charged to the individual CIP projects. Funding for IPMC
costs are included in individual project budgets. Each fiscal year, as projects are
planned, scheduled, budgeted, and resource needs identified, a projected cost will be
presented to the Operations Committee for approval. Semi-annual updates for the
entire program will also be provided.
Project Management Office (Division 750):
The Project Management Office (PMO) is home to the project management and project
controls staff.
Project Management Staff:
In FY 2010-11, the PMO will be managing 76 active projects with a total budget of
$1,813,000,000. The individual project budgets range in size from $1,000,000 to
approximately $250,000,000. The Sanitation District has completed a staffing analysis,
Form No.DW-102.2 Agenda Report—Board
Revised: 09/01/2009

and believes a workload of three to six projects per Project Manager (PM) (based on
size and complexity) is appropriate. IPMC will provide personnel to augment the
Sanitation District's Project Management Personnel in the PMO. The positions are
described below:
One Program Manager (Rapagna) to provide general management and supervision
of all IPMC staff. The Program Manager will work with the Director of Engineering
