Orange County Sanitation District
FROM: James D. Ruth, General Manager
Originator: Jim Herberg, Assistant General Manager
Project Manager: Martin Dix
SUBJECT: ROCKY POINT PUMP STATION, CONTRACT NO. 5-50
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Non-Exclusive Access Agreement, in a form approved by General Counsel,
with the Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital to access a portion of the Sanitation
District's property.
SUMMARY
In 2004, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) purchased real
property located at 1700-2000 West Coast Highway in the City of Newport Beach
(OCSD Property) from International Bay Clubs, Inc. (IBC), for the purpose of
constructing a replacement for the outdated Rocky Point Pump Station.
The Newport Beach Veterinary Hospital (Hospital) claims that pursuant to an agreement
with IBC, the Hospital was permitted to use a small strip of land in the rear portion of Lot
61, located on Tract No. 1210, which is within the OCSD Property, for the purpose of
walking animals (Access Area). Following the transfer of OCSD Property from IBC to
the Sanitation District in 2004, the Hospital continued to use the Access Area for the
purpose of walking animals.
Staff recently became aware of the Hospital's continued use of the Access Area. The
purpose of the Non-Exclusive Access Agreement is to memorialize the duties and
obligations of the parties with respect to the Hospital's use of the Access Area.
The proposed Non-Exclusive Access Agreement between the Sanitation District and the
Hospital would allow the Hospital to continue to use the Access Area only for the limited
purposes identified until either party terminates the agreement or the Sanitation District
sells the property.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
September 2007 — Approved the Purchase Option Agreement with CCCD and OCC
regarding Rocky Point Pump Station Site, in a form approved by General Counsel.
December 2005 — (1) Approved a Memorandum of Understanding between CCCD and
the Sanitation District in connection with the replacement of the Rocky Point Pump
Station, Contract No. 5-50; and (2) authorized the General Manager to negotiate with
Page 1 of 2
CCCD concerning the sale, lease, or transfer and eventual use of the unused portion of
the Rocky Point Pump Station property at 1700-2000 West Coast Highway.
October 2004 — Approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow
Instructions for the real property located at 1700-2000 West Coast Highway between
the Sanitation District and International Bay Clubs, Inc.
December 2001 — (1) Authorized the General Manager to negotiate with CCCD to
establish a joint project agreement to be approved by the Board of Directors in
connection with the Replacement of the Rocky Point Pump station; and (2) authorized
the General Manager to negotiate with International Bay Clubs, Inc. for the purchase of
real properties located at 1700 to 2000 West Coast Highway, Newport Beach for the
replacement of the Rocky Point Pump Station.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The design and construction of the Rocky Point Pump Station left a portion of the OCSD
Property available for other uses. Specifically, staff has assessed the remaining unused
portion of the OCSD Property, and has determined that Lots 61, 62, 63, 64, and 65 of
OCSD Property located on Tract No. 1210, are no longer necessary for the Sanitation
District's use (Excess Property). Staff is in the process of surveying the Excess
Property and evaluating the Sanitation District's alternatives with respect to the Excess
Property.
CEQA
The recommended action is statutorily exempt from CEQA under Sections 15060 and
15378 of the CEQA Guidelines because the action will not result in a direct or
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
BUDGET/DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Delegation of
Authority. This item is budgeted and the budget is sufficient for the recommended
action (FY2012-13, Section 8, Page 28).

SUBJECT: REGIONAL ODOR AND CORROSION CONTROL SERVICES,
SPECIFICATION NO. C-2012-524BD
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
A. Approve Amendment No.1 to the Agreement with Hill Brothers Chemical Company,
for Regional Odor and Corrosion Control Services, Specification No. C-2012-524BD,
to include emergency and backup services options, for calcium nitrate, unit price
$3.35 per gallon plus tax, $100 freight per delivery, and service fee $1,500 per
station per day operating (maximum 48 hours); for magnesium hydroxide at a unit
price $580 per dry ton plus tax, $385 freight per delivery, and service fee $1,500 per
station per day operating (maximum 48 hours); for the period July 1, 2012 through
June 30, 2013 with four one-year renewal options; and
B. Approve Amendment No.1 to the Agreement with Hill Brothers Chemical Company,
for Regional Odor and Corrosion Control Services, Specification No. C-2012-5241313,
to include a $100 per hour demurrage fee for mobile dosing upon request for
magnesium hydroxide at a unit price $580 per dry ton plus tax, $385 freight per
delivery (maximum 48 hours); for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013 with
four one-year renewal options.
SUMMARY
This amendment provides additional clarification regarding the terms of the contract for
services. Mobile backup services are utilized for odor control during short-term
activities where no continuous chemical dosing station at a fixed site can treat the
specific downstream location needing odor or corrosion control. In the past, this service
has been utilized during inspection, maintenance, and repair activities in the collection
system, as well as at the treatment plants on occasion. Emergency services may also
be utilized in the event of a regional or national chemical supply shortage or delivery
stoppage. In the past, this has been a rare occurrence, only two times over a 10-year
period, caused by events such as hurricanes damaging production facilities or national
transit routes. Management approval in advance is required to use these service
options.

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS

contingency of 15%, per contract.
July 2010 — The Board approved change orders to contracts with U.S. Peroxide, LLC,

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Management of odor and corrosion is a part of the services that OCSD provides to
comply with our Strategic Plan and Levels of Service. It also helps extend the life of our
assets. The regional trunk line odor and corrosion control program reduces sulfides
associated with odor generation and structural degradation caused by corrosion within
the facilities. In addition, treatment in the regional trunks provides a secondary benefit
of minimizing hydrogen sulfide and odors in the local communities and the treatment
plants. Staff maintains oversight of these service providers with daily interaction at our
remote dosing facilities as well as program planning, adding dosing locations when
needed, as well as a detailed review of all invoices prior to recommending approval for
payment.
