File #: 2020-1045 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 3.
TIMING CONCERNS
Due to the deterioration of the pipeline protective coatings, the EJB piping and its support structures
in the underground vaults are subject to corrosion due to adverse environmental conditions and
incidental water intrusion into the vaults.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure or a significant delay to repair the coatings for the pipes and their associated support
structures in the vaults will eventually jeopardize the structural integrity of the critical piping. The EJB
and its associated piping constitute the only permitted and reliable path to convey Plant No. 1 effluent
and GWRS brine for ocean discharge. Loss or damage of this system has the potential to impact the
Orange County Sanitation District's (Sanitation District) mission to protect the public health and
environment.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT:
NEWPORT BEACH PUMP STATION PRESSURIZATION IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. 5-68
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Approve a Professional Design Services Agreement with Dudek to provide Engineering
Services for Newport Beach Pump Station Pressurization Improvements, Project No. 5-68, for
an amount not to exceed $542,988; and
B. Approve a contingency of $54,299 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) operates seven pump stations in the City
of Newport Beach which, together with the sewer trunk lines and force mains, convey flows to Plant
No. 2. Air with significant concentrations of odorous, corrosive, and potentially hazardous gasses is
also transported in the trunk lines. These pump stations were designed 15-50 years ago by different
design consultants.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 12 or fewer odor complaints per year under normal operating conditions in the collections
system
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities, including
odor, noise, and lighting
• Comply with Government Code Section 4526: Select the "best qualified firm" and "negotiate"
PROBLEM
The pump stations have inadequate venting, which can lead to the escape of odor and hazardous
gasses. At the Lido Pump Station, the gasses contributed to equipment failure that led to a sewage
spill. As an interim measure, staff has sealed all suspected leakage points, including bathroom
facilities, but there is a continuing risk of gas leakage and hazardous gas buildup. In addition, more
staff time is needed to monitor and address the buildup of hazardous gasses.

powered by LegistarTM
File #: 2020-1031 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 4.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Implement Newport Beach Pump Station Pressurization Improvements, Project No. 5-68, which will
install a passive venting system at each pump station to relieve the buildup of pressure. The odorous
air will be treated by adsorption media prior to being released into the atmosphere. Additionally,
provisions will be added at the 15th Street Pump Station for a vendor-operated and maintained
chemical feed system to mitigate the downstream generation of hydrogen sulfide in the Balboa Trunk
Sewer.
TIMING CONCERNS
If the project is delayed, the collections system and pump stations will continue to see pressure
buildup issues. This may cause the uncontrolled release of corrosive and hazardous gasses in the
pump stations and odor complaints from the surrounding areas.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The collections system and pump stations will continue to see pressure buildup issues. This may
cause the uncontrolled release of corrosive and hazardous gasses in the pump stations and odor
complaints from the surrounding areas.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Consultant Selection
The Sanitation District requested and advertised for proposals for Newport Beach Pump Station
Pressurization Improvements, Project No. 5-68, on January 14, 2020. The following evaluation
criterion were described in the Request for Proposals and used to determine the most qualified
Consultant.
Criterion Weight
Project Understanding and Approach 50%
Related Project Experience 20%
Project Team and Staff Qualifications 30%
Two proposals were received on February 18, 2020 and evaluated in accordance with the evaluation
process set forth in the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance by a pre-selected Evaluation Team
consisting of the following Sanitation District staff: Senior Engineer (Project Manager), Principal
Environmental Specialist (Collections Staff), Engineering Supervisor, and Engineering Supervisor
(Non-voting member).
Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 4 Printed on 4/28/2020

File #: 2020-1031 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 4.
The Evaluation Team also included one non-voting representative from the Contracts Administration
Division.
The Evaluation Team scored the proposals based on the established criteria as summarized in the
table below.
Firm Approach Related Exper. Team (max Total Score
(max 50) (max 20) 30) (max 100)
1 Dudek 43 17 26 86
2 Hazen Sawyer 35 15 22 72
Based on the scoring shown above, Dudek was selected as the most qualified Consultant.
The selected firm presented a clear understanding of the project's risks and associated approaches
to address them in a simple manner. In addition, all their key staff are local, allowing for prompt and
cost-effective coordination. Members of the proposed team are familiar with these pump stations and
are experienced in odor control. The proposed team's experience, qualifications, and staff utilization
best matched the Sanitation District's needs for this project.
Review of Fee Proposal and Negotiations
Proposals were accompanied by sealed fee proposals. In accordance with Sanitation District's
Purchasing Ordinance, the fee proposal of only the highest-ranked firm was opened after approval of
the Evaluation Committee's recommendation by the Director of Engineering.
Multiple meetings were held with Dudek to review, in detail, each project element, the assumptions
regarding the project elements, the requirements of each task in the scope, and the basis for
estimating the associated level of effort. Dudek had proposed a higher level of effort for several
project elements. After meeting with the project stakeholders, staff, along with Dudek, determined
several of the original project elements were not needed such as utility investigation effort, permitting
assistance, equipment, instrumentation, and controls. Based on this review, assumptions were
agreed upon, the Scope of Work was clarified, and the estimated level of effort substantially reduced.
Total Hours Total Fee
Original Fee Proposal 7,040 $1,557,626
Negotiated Fee Proposal 2,801 $542,988
The Consultant's fringe and overhead costs, which factor into the billing rate, have been
substantiated. The contract profit is 9.91%, which is based on an established formula included in the
Sanitation District's standard design agreements.
Based on the above, staff has determined that the final negotiated fee is fair and reasonable for the
level of effort required for this project and recommends award of the Professional Design Services
Agreement to Dudek.

22. INDEMNIFICATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend (at
CONSULTANT's sole cost and expense and with legal counsel approved by the
SANITATION DISTRICT, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect
and hold harmless the SANITATION DISTRICT and all of SANITATION DISTRICT's
officers, directors, employees, CONSULTANT's, and agents (collectively the
"Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes
of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, disbursements and court costs,
and all other professional, expert or CONSULTANT's fees and costs and the
SANITATION DISTRICT's general and administrative expenses; individually, a "Claim";
collectively, "Claims") which may arise from or are in any manner related, directly or
indirectly, to any work performed, or any operations, activities, or services provided by
CONSULTANT in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the
negligent, recklessness and/or willful misconduct of CONSULTANT, its principals,
officers, agents, employees, CONSULTANT's suppliers, CONSULTANT,
Subconsultants, Subcontractors, and/or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of
them, regardless of any contributing negligence or strict liability of an Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
CONSULTANT to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising solely from:
(A) the active negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties; or
(B) a natural disaster or other act of God, such as an earthquake; or
(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.
PDSA PROJECT NO. 5-68
Revised 07261 NEWPORT BEACH PUMP STATION PRESSURIZATION IMPROVEMENTS
Page 16 of 19
Exceptions (A) through (B) above shall not apply, and CONSULTANT shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify the Indemnified Parties, from Claims arising from
more than one cause if any such cause taken alone would otherwise result in the
obligation to indemnify hereunder.
CONSULTANT's liability for indemnification hereunder is in addition to any liability
CONSULTANT may have to the SANITATION DISTRICT for a breach by
CONSULTANT of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall
the insurance requirements and limits set forth in this Agreement be construed to limit
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation or other liability hereunder. The terms of this
Agreement are contractual and the result of negotiation between the parties hereto.
Accordingly, any rule of construction of contracts (including, without limitation, California
Civil Code Section 1654) that ambiguities are to be construed against the drafting party,
shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.
23. DUTY TO DEFEND
The duty to defend hereunder is wholly independent of and separate from the duty to
indemnify and such duty to defend shall exist regardless of any ultimate liability of
CONSULTANT and shall be consistent with Civil Code Section 2782.8. Such defense
obligation shall arise immediately upon presentation of a Claim by any person if, without
regard to the merit of the Claim, such Claim could potentially result in an obligation to
indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties, and upon written notice of such Claim being
provided to CONSULTANT. Payment to CONSULTANT by any Indemnified Party or the
payment or advance of defense costs by any Indemnified Party shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcing such Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification hereunder. In
the event a final judgment, arbitration, award, order, settlement, or other final resolution
expressly determines that the claim did not arise out of, pertain to, or relate to the
negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of the CONSULTANT, to any extent,
then the SANITATION DISTRICT will reimburse CONSULTANT for the reasonable costs
of defending the Indemnified Parties against such claims.
CONSULTANT's indemnification obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Agreement until such time as action against the Indemnified
Parties for such matter indemnified hereunder is fully and finally barred by the applicable
statute of limitations.
24. 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 OCSD Safety Standards, as applicable, all of which may be amended from
time to time.
PDSA PROJECT NO. 5-68

Page 17 of 19
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
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. 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: Rob Thompson, Assistant General Manager
SUBJECT:
SERVICE CONTRACT FOR PLANT NOS. 1 AND 2 CENTRAL GENERATION CARBON CHANGE-
OUT, SPECIFICATION NO. S-2020-113OBD
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Award a Service Contract to EnviroSupply & Service Inc. for Plant Nos. 1 and 2, Central
Generation Facility Fuel Gas Cleaning System, Carbon Change-Out [replacement];
Specification No. S-2020-113013D, for a total amount not to exceed $240,702 for the period
July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, with four (4) one-year renewal options; and
B. Approve a contingency of $24,071 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The Plant Nos. 1 and 2 Central Generation facilities are equipped with activated carbon vessels/filter
beds for cleaning digester gas prior to combustion in the engines. The activated carbon beds work in
series to protect the air emissions control catalysts that were installed to meet South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit requirements.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
PROBLEM
The digester gas cleaning system must run continuously in order to protect the Central Generation
engines and exhaust catalysts from hydrogen sulfide and siloxanes. Both hydrogen sulfide and
siloxanes are present in digester gas and will poison the exhaust catalysts. The activated carbon
beds have a limited capacity to adsorb these contaminants. When the carbon adsorption material is
fully consumed, it must be replaced.

File #: 2020-1024 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 5.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Enter into a service contract with a vendor to replace the activated carbon material used to clean
digester gas at Plant Nos. 1 and 2.
TIMING CONCERNS
The current contract for activated carbon replacement expires on June 30, 2020.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Siloxane and hydrogen sulfide break-through will take place if activated carbon replacement does not
occur. The Central Generation plants will be shut down due to air quality permit requirements when
break-through occurs.

Agenda Report
File #: 2020-991 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 6.
FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Lan C. Wiborg, Director of Environmental Services
SUBJECT:
GRIT AND SCREENINGS REMOVAL, SPECIFICATION NO. S-2020-1121 BD
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Approve a Service Contract to Denali Water Solutions for Grit and Screenings Removal,
Specification No. S-2020-1121 BD, for a total amount not to exceed $551,482 for the period
July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, with four one-year renewal options; and
B. Approve a contingency of $55,148 (10%).
BACKGROUND
This service provides bins for the collection of grit and screenings materials, the subsequent removal
of the full bins, related services such as moving bins on Sundays, and taking drying bed material and
disposing the materials at the Orange County Waste and Recycling's (OCWR's) Frank Bowerman
Landfill in Irvine. Grit and screenings materials are continually collected as part of the preliminary
treatment process at both Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) Plant Nos. 1 & 2.
Drying bed material is similar to materials removed from sewer lines and plant processes, mixed with
sawdust. The Sanitation District pays OCWR separately for the disposal fees.
Effective July 2019, Sanitation District Compliance staff are now administering this contract because
of new CalRecycle online reporting requirements and necessary internal documentation required as
a result. However, the budget line item is still maintained by Operations & Maintenance (O&M),
similar to the biosolids budget line item in which Compliance does contract management for O&M's
budget.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Comply with environmental permit requirements
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities, including
odor, noise, and lighting

File #: 2020-991 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 6.
PROBLEM
The current contract for grit and screenings removal expires on June 30, 2020.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a new service contract for grit and screenings removal based on a competitive selection
process.
TIMING CONCERNS
A new contract must be in place prior to the expiration of the existing contract ending on June 30,
2020.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The Sanitation District will be unable to dispose of grit and screenings which are removed
continuously from incoming wastewater.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
May 2015 - Board approved a Service Contract to Denali Water Solutions for Grit and Screenings
Removal, Specification No. S-2015-66813D, for a total amount not to exceed $387,905 for the period
June 22, 2015 through July 31, 2016, with four one-year renewal options; and approved a
contingency of$38,790 (10%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Sanitation District conducted a bid process based on the specifications developed by
Compliance staff. Bids closed on March 3, 2020. This contract was competitively bid with three (3)
prospective bidders and one (1) bid package being received by the Sanitation District. The bid was
evaluated to ensure that it was responsive and responsible. The incumbent company was the only
one to submit a bid. Denali Water Solutions has performed adequately over the previous contract
period. No price increases were requested during the last contract period of five years, so the total
not to exceed of this contract is about $170,000 higher. However, this cost also includes several
alternative contingency costs, such as alternative landfills, that the Sanitation District does not
anticipate needing to use.
Staff recommends Denali Water Solutions be awarded the contract as the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder.

FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Kathy Millea, Director of Engineering
SUBJECT:
BUSHARD DIVERSION STRUCTURE REPAIR, PROJECT NO. MP-307
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Receive and file Bid Tabulation and Recommendation for Bushard Diversion Structure Repair,
Project No. MP-307; and
B. Reject the bid from Mehta Mechanical Company, Inc. and direct staff to reissue the contract for
bids with changes made to prolong the life of the repairs.
BACKGROUND
The Bushard Diversion Structure is a below-grade concrete structure in the intersection of Bushard
Street and Ellis Avenue in the City of Fountain Valley. The structure is used to divert wastewater into
Plant No. 1 that would otherwise flow to Plant No. 2 to make more flow available for recycling through
the Groundwater Replenishment System.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• Comply with California Public Contract Code Section 20103.8, award construction contract to
lowest responsive, responsible bidder
• Meet volume and water quality needs for the GWRS
PROBLEM
The corrosive atmosphere within the Bushard Diversion Structure has damaged conduits, wiring, and
hydraulic hoses for two large valve actuators. As a result, one of the two valves is inoperable, and
the other can only be operated manually. Manual operation involves setting up traffic control,
shutting down traffic lanes, opening the sewer, and performing a manned, confined-space entry.
Damage to concrete and the PVC liner has also been observed.
When bids were due on January 28, 2020, only a single bid was received, and that bid was 44
percent higher than the Engineer's estimate. The significantly higher cost and single bid prompted
Orange County Sanitation District Page 1 of 3 Printed on 4/28/2020

File #: 2019-628 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 7.
staff to reconsider the previous decision to rebuild rather than replace the two large valve actuators.
Replacing the actuators would prolong the life of the facility compared to rebuilding them.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Reject the bid received for Bushard Diversion Structure Repair, Project No. MP-307, and reissue the
Invitation to Bids to include replacement of the two actuators. To avoid delays, staff would separately
procure the valve actuators so that they would be ready for the contractor to install and shorten the
construction duration.
TIMING CONCERNS
Failure of valves during high, wet-weather flows could lead to flow obstructions and sewage spills
requiring a complex entry under emergency conditions. Staff is currently procuring parts to allow the
failed actuator to be manually operated until the project can be completed.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
The reliable operation of the valves will remain compromised.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
N/A
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) advertised Bushard Diversion Structure
Repair, Project No. MP-307, for bids on November 12, 2019. A single, sealed bid was received on
January 28, 2020.
Engineer's Estimate $661,000
Bidder Amount of Bid
Mehta Mechanical Company, Inc. dba MMC, Inc. $954,500
Sanitation District staff communicated with MMC and analyzed its bid price relative to the Sanitation
District's estimate and design requirements. The difference between the Engineer's estimate and
MMC is $293,500. The cost difference is due to the following reasons:
1. Higher hourly costs for electrical and instrumentation labor.
2. The single vendor for the PVC liner went out of business during the bid period. An alternative
material was specified in an addendum, but the change increased the cost.
3. The bidder indicated that $90,000 was included in the bid to account for perceived risks relating to
traffic control and confined space entry.
Orange County Sanitation District Page 2 of 3 Printed on 4/28/2020

File #: 2019-628 Agenda Date: 5/6/2020 Agenda Item No: 7.
Based on attendance at two prebid conferences, staff had expected two bids. One likely reason for
the lack of interest is the difficult nature of the work with traffic control in a busy intersection and
confined-space entries. Another factor may have been the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's
holidays that occurred during the bid period. Staff believes that a requirement for the contractor to
remove a large and complex valve actuator, ship it to the East Coast for rebuilding, and reinstall
before the work could be completed put a schedule risk on the contractor that could not effectively be
managed.
CEQA
The project is exempt from CEQA under both a categorical exemption and statutory exemption set
forth in California Code of Regulation Section 15301 and the Public Resources Code section
21080.21 because the project is less than one mile in length within a public right-of-way for the
maintenance of an existing pipeline. A Notice of Exemption will be filed with the OC Clerk-Recorder
after the Sanitation District's Board of Directors award of the construction contract.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of the Sanitation District's Purchasing Ordinance. This
item has been budgeted in the FY19/20 Budget Update, Operations and Maintenance (Line Item:
Repairs and Maintenance, Page 47) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

District) Plant Nos. 1 and 2 were designed and built using codes prior to the 1997 Uniform Building
Code and 2001 California Building Code. For this reason, the Sanitation District recently completed
a planning-level study, Seismic Hazard Evaluation at Plant Nos. 1 and 2 (Project No. PS15-06),
which assessed the vulnerability of critical and occupied structures to damage or failure due to
shaking, liquefaction, and lateral spreading following an earthquake.
The results and recommendations from this study will be incorporated into the Sanitation District's 20
-year Capital Improvement Program to improve the resiliency and continued operation of critical and
occupied facilities within the treatment plants.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain a proactive asset management program
• 24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Sustain 1, 5, 20-year planning horizons

SUBJECT:
INTERIM FOOD WASTE RECEIVING FACILITY, PROJECT NO. P2-124, AND PRICING POLICY
DISCUSSION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Information Item.
BACKGROUND
California State Assembly Bill 1826 and Senate Bill 1383 require cities to divert organics such as food
waste away from landfills in effort to reduce short-lived climate pollution such as methane. This
regulatory shift has created an opportunity in the wastewater sector to provide a cost-neutral and
environmentally friendly service to help manage organics such as food waste by way of anaerobic co
-digestion. Specifically, preprocessed food waste would be mixed with sludge in anaerobic digesters
to produce methane gas and energy. The Orange County Sanitation District understands the
importance of and opportunity presented by these mandates and elected to design an Interim Food
Waste Receiving Facility, Project No. P2-124, and initiate pricing policy discussions through the
Strategic Plan 2019 process.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain and adhere to appropriate internal planning documents (Biosolids Master Plan)
• Use all practical and effective means for resource recovery
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
July 2019 - Informational item and presentation to the Operations and Administration Committees
regarding the project.
September 2018 - Approved a Professional Design Services Agreement with Kennedy/Jenks
Consultants to provide engineering design services for Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility, Project
No. P2-124, for an amount not to exceed $695,000, and approved a contingency of $69,500 (10%).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In 2018, the Biosolids Master Plan ("Master Plan") evaluated the feasibility of receiving pre-
processed food waste for anaerobic digestion to produce additional methane gas. It concluded the
costs to construct and operate the facilities and handle the additional biosolids production could be
offset by tipping fees charged to food waste processors/solid waste haulers and additional power
associated with the increased methane gas production. As such, the Master Plan recommended an
interim food waste facility be constructed until a more permanent facility can be constructed in 10 to
15 years when the designated space would become available following demolition of existing
digesters. The Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility will consist of prefabricated storage tanks,
mixing and transfer pumps, and piping to the digesters.
The Board will be provided an update on the design of the Interim Food Waste Receiving Facility
which includes an update of the project viability and tipping fees calculated based on project and
operational costs. Pricing information will be provided on tipping fees established by other
wastewater treatment plants that are currently or planning to receive food waste. Lastly, the
informational update will close with a discussion on policy questions related to the development of a
tipping fee that was previously introduced as part of the Food Waste Treatment Policy referenced in
the 2019 Strategic Plan.
CEQA
This project was covered under the Biosolids Master Plan Program Environmental Impact Report,
adopted by the Board on June 27, 2018. A Notice of Determination was filed on September 27,
2018, after Board approval of the Professional Design Services Agreement.
