SUBJECT:
SPARE PUMP PROCUREMENT FOR SLATER PUMP STATION
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to Muniquip, LLC for the purchase of one Hidrostal
I10K-S pump assembly for Main Sewage Pump (MSP) at Slater Pump Station, for an amount
not to exceed $157,333 including applicable sales tax and freight; and
B. Approve a contingency of $15,733 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)operates 15 pump stations throughout its regional
collection system.These pump stations convey wastewater from low points where a gravity flow
cannot be used and are considered critical infrastructure to convey wastewater to the treatment
plants.The pumps require routine removal and restoration activities to maintain design capacity
output.These pump stations are critical to the collection system operation,and if pumping capacity
is lost it may cause a backup or sewer spill.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Achieve less than 2.1 sewer spills per 100 miles
·Commitment to safety & reducing risk in all operations
·Protect OC San assets
PROBLEM
OC San does not currently have a spare pump in inventory for Slater Pump Station.This equipment
is subject to normal wear and is critical to maintain reliable pumping operations.A spare pump
assembly is required to provide operational redundancy,maintain pumping capacity during
maintenance activities,and reduce the risk of service interruptions and potential sewer spills in the
event of a pump failure.
Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/22/2026Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:2026-4957 Agenda Date:7/1/2026 Agenda Item No:2.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order of one spare pump assembly from Muniquip,LLC for the
Main Sewage Pump (MSP)at Slater Pump Station.The spare pump will restore system reliability,
maintain operational redundancy,and minimize operational downtime associated with maintenance
repairs.
TIMING CONCERNS
The quoted lead time for the spare pump assembly is approximately 37 weeks.Due to the extended
procurement lead time,timely approval is necessary to ensure availability of the equipment when
needed.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Delaying procurement of the spare pump increases the risk of reduced pumping capacity,emergency
repairs, and potential sanitary sewer spills resulting from equipment failure.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February 2021 -Approved Hidrostal,LLC as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)Sole
Source provider for pumps and replacement parts.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Muniquip,LLC is the authorized sole-source representative and distributor for Hidrostal,LLC
equipment in OC San’s service region.The specified pump is proprietary Hidrostal equipment and
must be supplied through the authorized representative,competitive bidding is not practical or
available.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This request complies with authority levels of OC San’s Purchasing Ordinance.This item has been
budgeted (Budget Update FY 2025-26,Page A-18,Emergency Capital Critical Spares for Plant and
Collections, Collection Facilities O&M) and the budget is sufficient for the recommended action.

COMBINATION SEWER CLEANING TRUCK REFURBISHMENT
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to Haaker Equipment Company to refurbish one
Combination Sewer Cleaning Truck for a total amount not to exceed $402,186, not including
applicable sales tax and freight; and
B. Approve a contingency of $60,328 (15%).
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)owns and operates four Combination Sewer Cleaning
trucks within its fleet.The trucks maintain the collection systems by cleaning sewer pipes and pump
station wet wells,and by responding to emergencies such as sewer spills,using a combination of
vacuum and water-jetting technology.
The Combination Sewer Cleaning trucks consist of specialized cleaning equipment with controls,
hydraulic systems,and a large tank debris body mounted on a chassis.These trucks service more
than 380 miles of regional pipes and 15 outlying pump stations,three reliable units are required to
complete the annual volume of work and comply with the Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP)
as required by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Participate in local, state, and national cooperative purchasing programs
·Maintain a proactive asset management program
·Ensure the public’s money is wisely spent
PROBLEM
The truck identified for refurbishment is experiencing increasing electrical,mechanical,and hydraulic
failures due to age and corrosion.Continued repairs are becoming less effective and cost-efficient,
making refurbishment or replacement the only viable long-term options.
Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/24/2026Page 1 of 3
powered by Legistar™
File #:2026-4962 Agenda Date:7/1/2026 Agenda Item No:3.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Refurbish the truck through the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)-authorized service
representative to restore the equipment to near-new condition,improve reliability,and maximize its
remaining useful life at a lower cost than replacement.
TIMING CONCERNS
Delaying the refurbishment would increase the risk of equipment downtime and reduce OC San’s
ability to maintain adequate fleet availability of Combination Sewer Cleaning trucks to support
scheduled cleaning, emergency response and regulatory compliance activities.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Continued deterioration of the truck could result in extended downtime,increased reliance on rental
equipment,higher maintenance costs,and reduced fleet availability.This could impair OC San’s
ability to perform scheduled cleaning activities and respond effectively to collection system
emergencies.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
August 2017 -Approved Vactor as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)Sole Source for
industrial cleaning truck rental and repairs.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OC San’s Board of Directors approved Vactor as the OEM sole source provider under Board M.O.9
(B)on August 23,2017.Haaker Equipment Company is Vactor’s sole authorized dealer for Vactor in
Southern California.By using the OEM-authorized dealer and OEM parts,OC San received a
discount of $37,730.
The truck profiled for refurbishment is seven years old and has a reliably operating chassis.The
installed equipment on the chassis will be restored to near-new condition,allowing OC San to
operate the unit well into its profiled 15-year life cycle.Refurbishment is significantly less costly than
replacing the vehicle and allows OC San to extend the useful life of an existing asset with a
serviceable chassis.
With newly adopted and imposed regulations (CARB Advanced Clean Fleets)affecting heavy-duty
vehicles,the unit would need to be replaced as an alternative-fueled/electric vehicle at a substantially
higher cost in a market with supply chain delays.Keeping this unit in OC San’s fleet ensures the
reliability of critical equipment for maintaining the collection system.
A 15%contingency is recommended to address any additional repairs or replacement components
identified during the refurbishment process.

SUBJECT:
GAS COMPRESSOR INTERCOOLERS CRITICAL SPARES
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order to NEAC Compressor Service USA, Inc., for the
procurement of two spare intercoolers for digester gas compressors in an amount not to
exceed $178,234, not including applicable sales tax and freight; and
B. Approve a contingency of $17,823 (10%).
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)operates six gas compressors between Plant Nos.1
and 2 to increase the compression of methane gas generated during the anaerobic digestion
process.The compressed gas is transferred to the Central Generation facilities,where it fuels the
engine-generator units to produce electricity for both treatment plants.
The intercoolers are integral to maintaining equipment reliability and the continued operation of the
gas compressors.
NEAC Compressor Service USA,Inc.(NEAC)is the Board of Directors approved original equipment

PROBLEM
Due to the corrosive gases processed and their environments,the gas compressors intercoolers are
susceptible to corrosion,resulting in reduced performance and reliability over time.Existing
intercoolers are showing early signs of corrosion and performance degradation.OC San currently
has no spare intercoolers in inventory,and replacement units require a minimum lead time of 22
weeks.In the event of failure,the affected compressor could remain out of service for an extended
period, increasing the risk of process disruptions and reduced plant reliability.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve the purchase of two OEM intercoolers from NEAC to maintain gas compressor reliability,
support planned compressor overhauls,and minimize downtime associated with equipment failure or
maintenance activities.
TIMING CONCERNS
Timely procurement of the spare intercoolers is necessary to support planned digester gas
compressor overhauls.Due to the lead time associated with these specialized OEM components,
delays in procurement may affect equipment availability, overhaul scheduling, and plant reliability.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Failure to maintain an adequate inventory of critical spare parts could result in extended gas
compressor downtime,reducing the availability of digester gas compression and impacting electrical
power generation for both treatment plants.Prolonged equipment outages may also adversely affect
plant operations and OC San’s ability to maintain compliance with operational and regulatory permit
requirements.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
May 2020 -Approved Penn Process Compressors (vendor NEAC Compressor Service USA)as an
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Sole Source provider for pistons and parts.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
NEAC is the Board of Directors approved OEM representative and the sole authorized distributor for
equipment and replacement components.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Approve a Services Contract with Jamison Engineering Contractors, Inc. to provide on-call
condition assessment program support services, Specification No. S-2026-720BD, for the
period of August 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, for a total amount not to exceed $1,114,638
with four (4) one-year renewal options;
B. Approve an annual increase not to exceed 3.5% of the previous year’s amount; and
C. Approve an annual contingency not to exceed 10% of the annual contract amount for all
renewal periods.
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)utilizes contractor services to support the performance of
critical equipment and facility condition assessments.Condition assessments are a key component
of OC San’s Asset Management Program as they provide vital information related to the current
status of critical equipment,structures,and facilities throughout both reclamation plants and the
collection system.This information is utilized to determine remaining useful life and impacts the
planning and execution of maintenance efforts and capital projects.
Condition assessments often occur in challenging locations.These locations may include confined
spaces,areas that require heavy cleaning or grit removal,spaces that require labor or equipment to
access (i.e.an area secured by a hatch or gate),and areas that can only be feasibly inspected via
methods or technology not readily available to staff.Utilizing a contractor to support these efforts
provides effective execution in a safe, reliable manner.
In addition,during the performance of a condition assessment,minor issues may be encountered
that require repair.Enabling the performance of incidental repairs at the time of the assessment
prevents these issues from worsening,minimizes operational impacts,and prevents duplicative
efforts necessary to access and prepare the area to perform the work.

·24/7/365 treatment plant reliability
PROBLEM
The current on-call contractor support services contract expires on October 31,2026.Without a new
contract in place,performance of planned assessments cannot be executed efficiently,and the asset
management program will be impacted.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve a Services Contract with Jamison Engineering Contractors,Inc.to provide on-call contractor
support services for OC San’s condition assessment program.
TIMING CONCERNS
The current contract will expire on October 31,2026.Having a new on-call contractor support
services contract in place prior to the current contract’s expiration will ensure that planned condition
assessments are not impacted.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
If no action is taken,planned condition assessments will be delayed,impacting the effectiveness of
the asset management program.Separate procurements for support services would be required on
a case-by-case basis; this is less efficient and requires more resources to manage and execute.

III. BACKGROUND, PROJECT DESCRIPTION, AND PROJECT ELEMENTS
A. BACKGROUND
In other industries, corrosion engineering and corrosion control design, as it
relates to pipelines, process piping, and storage and treatment facilities, have
experienced different levels of implementation depending on the risk of failure
and consequence of failure. Hazardous materials such as fuel oil and natural
gas have a mandate from the United States Department of Transportation
(DOT), as implemented by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
calling for corrosion monitoring and assessment on a regular basis. As a result,
these industries have proactive corrosion control programs and in-house
corrosion departments.
Corrosion engineering in the water and wastewater industries varies by
municipality. Generally, economic and environmental factors have been the
motivation for corrosion control, ranging from fix it as it leaks (reactive) to
proactive programs of inspection/assessment followed by coatings, linings, and
external cathodic protection. In the 1980s, East Bay Municipal Utility District
demonstrated that investment into a proactive corrosion control and monitoring
program resulted in savings of $15 to every $1 allocated to corrosion control.
OC San has constructed several new facilities for expansion since the first
facilities began operation in 1954. Excavating facilities for repair or
replacement due to corrosion requires an enormous effort and high cost.
Regulations have been changing infrastructure management. In response to
these factors, OC San has elected to support a proactive maintenance
program. One (1) element of this proactive approach is to conduct internal
assessments of piping and associated facilities to determine their current
condition and use this information to make recommendations for their future
maintenance and operation.
B. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this contract is to provide OC San with on-call contractor
support services so that OC San can carry out assessments of selected
facilities, structures, pipelines, and other assets to evaluate their current
condition. In addition, perform maintenance repairs as directed by OC San.
The shutdowns, flow diversions, assessments, and all other tasks will be
scheduled by OC San personnel.
The level of Contractor support will vary for each structure or asset to be
assessed, depending upon the specific facility and the planned level of
EXHIBIT A 5 of 13 Specification No. S-2026-720BD
assessment that is either desired or is practical. In all instances, the
assessments will be directed by OC San personnel and not by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall provide the required support for each assessment task as
determined on a case-by-case basis. All subcontractors shall be approved by
OC San prior to performing any services under this contract.
The level of contractor support for incidental repairs will be dependent upon the
specific task. In all instances, the repairs will be directed by OC San personnel
and not by the Contractor.
For each task, OC San will prepare a “Request for Assessment
Support/Incidental Repairs” that includes a scope of work, schedule, work
duration, and a not-to-exceed amount for the services to be provided by the
Contractor.
Upon OC San’s request, the Contractor shall provide input into or prepare a
work plan or means and methods plan to optimize the assessment/incidental
repair process. This may involve preliminary meetings and job walks with OC
San staff to finalize the support requirements to perform the required corrosion
assessments.
The Contractor shall provide the following services:
• Confined space entry support for permit-required confined spaces, including
but not limited to provision of SCBA/SAR equipment, rescue equipment
(e.g., davits, winches, harnesses, tripods, SRLs), rescue team, ventilation
equipment, communication equipment, and atmospheric monitoring
equipment.
• Provision of 3,000 psi water-jetting equipment with up to 300 feet of
associated hoses and trained operators to adequately water jet as needed
before CCTV inspection and physical assessment by OC San.
• Provision of submersible or grade-mounted pumps of appropriate rating and
capacity to dewater the identified structures for internal Corrosion
assessment by OC San. This will include installation and removal of all
required bypass piping and associated fittings.
• Debris and rag removal using vacuum excavation equipment, like a Vactor
truck or other approved equipment, prior to physical or CCTV assessments.
• Provision of CCTV services and required support in compliance with OC
San standards.
• Provision of a trailer-mounted welding machine.
• Provision of as-needed incidental repairs.
• Provision of concrete rebar locating, core drilling equipment, and drill bits
for core sampling.
• Cathodic Protection Installation
• Repair of existing Ameron T-Lock® liner or other lining and coatings by
qualified and experienced personnel.
EXHIBIT A 6 of 13 Specification No. S-2026-720BD
The Contractor’s staff must be able to communicate in English both orally
and in writing with OC San staff as well as with other members of their
crew. The Contractor’s staff shall demonstrate the capability to read,
interpret, and understand the Safety/OSHA requirements, OC San’s plans,
drawings, and specifications, as necessary. All work and equipment utilized
shall conform to Cal OSHA Title 8 requirements, including, but not limited
to, work performed in confined spaces and/or gas-hazardous environments.
C. REQUEST FOR CORROSION ASSESSMENT SUPPORT
For each new assessment support task, OC San will prepare and issue a
“Request for Assessment Support/Incidental Repair” to the Contractor. Each
Task Order for assessments shall not exceed $250,000, and each task order
for incidental repairs shall not exceed $99,999.
D. PROJECT ELEMENTS
The Project will be divided into Project Elements with each having their own

REDHILL RELIEF SEWER RELOCATION AT STATE ROUTE 55, PROJECT NO. FE18-13
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
Approve the Second Amendment to Utility Agreement No.OCSD-1005,between the Orange County
Sanitation District and the Orange County Transportation Authority,for final reimbursement amount of
$4,996,443 for Project No.FE18-13,Redhill Relief Sewer Relocation at State Route 55,in the City of
Santa Ana.
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)is currently widening State Route 55 (SR-55)
between Interstate 5 and Interstate 405.The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)owns a
sewer crossing beneath SR-55 immediately south of Warner Avenue in the City of Santa Ana.
OC San executed Project No.FE18-13,Redhill Relief Sewer Relocation at State Route 55,to extend
the required protective casing for the sewer and relocated a manhole out of the widened right of way.
OCTA first agreed to reimburse OC San for the cost of this work in a March 2020 Utility Agreement
between the agencies.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
·Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators,stakeholders,and
neighboring communities
·Protect OC San assets
PROBLEM
In November 2022,OCTA paused the mobilization of OC San’s contractor due to Southern California
Edison’s (SCE’s)design and construction procurement delays to relocate their interfering electrical
utility line.SCE completed their construction,allowing OC San’s contractor to mobilize after July
2024.A few days after mobilizing in October 2024,OC San’s contractor discovered two utilities that
were in direct conflict with the new sewer alignment.One was a Caltrans electrical line that was
relocated quickly upon discovery and the second consisted of a Verizon fiber communication cable
that had to be relocated.Both were not anticipated to be in conflict based on existing utility

that had to be relocated.Both were not anticipated to be in conflict based on existing utility
information. OCTA agreed to reimburse OC San for associated costs.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve the Second and Final Amendment to the Utility Agreement increasing the Utility Agreement’s
reimbursable from $2,840,000 to $4,996,443. OCTA has accepted the final upper limit.
TIMING CONCERNS
OC San needs to revise the Utility Agreement with OCTA in order to be compensated for the
additional costs.

SUBJECT:
SUPPLEMENTAL ENGINEERING SERVICES, CONTRACT NO. PSA2026-001
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
A. Approve Professional Services Agreements to provide Supplemental Engineering Services,
Contract No. PSA2026-001, for a three-year period with two one-year renewal options
effective October 1, 2026, for a combined total amount not to exceed $55,800,000, initially
allocated as follows:
·AECOM Technical Services, Inc. - $27,900,000
·Jacobs Project Management Co. - $27,900,000; and
B. Authorize the General Manager to transfer funds between the two Professional Services
Agreements, as needed, to align contract budgets with actual workload distribution, with no
increase to the total Board-authorized amount.
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (OC San)delivers a Capital Improvement Program (CIP)and
complex repair projects that require project management,project engineering,resident engineering,
inspection, construction support, and specialized technical services.
Since 2002,OC San has used Supplemental Engineering Services (SES)agreements to support CIP
and small project delivery.Typical SES roles include project managers,project engineers,electrical
engineers,resident engineers,and inspection staff.The largest need is for construction support
roles,including resident engineers and inspectors.OC San also uses SES for specialty roles that
are not maintained by staff, such as structural engineering and specialized rehabilitation work.
In April 2022,the Board approved SES agreements with AECOM Technical Services,Inc.and
Jacobs Project Management Co.,for a three-year period with two one-year renewal options.In
December 2025,the Board authorized the General Manager to transfer funds between those
agreements to balance contract budgets through April 2027 with no increase to the total Board-
authorized amount.
In 2025,OC San completed an Engineering Department Staffing Plan in response to the FY 2025-26
Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 6/23/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
File #:2026-4970 Agenda Date:7/1/2026 Agenda Item No:7.
In 2025,OC San completed an Engineering Department Staffing Plan in response to the FY 2025-26
General Manager’s Work Plan goal to minimize SES,improve succession planning,and streamline
the project delivery process.The plan shifts long-term support positions from supplemental contract
staffing to OC San full-time positions over a four-year period through the normal budget process.
During the transition period between October 1,2026 and April 30,2027 both SES contracts will be
effective. The new contracts provide for new subconsultants.
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
·Sustain 1, 5, and 20-year planning horizons
PROBLEM
OC San’s staffing requirements for the CIP workload exceed the Engineering Department’s current
and future staff capacity.Although the Engineering Department Staffing Plan will reduce reliance on
SES over time,OC San still needs supplemental resources to maintain project delivery,provide long-
term construction support,address workload peaks,fill temporary vacancies,and provide specialty
expertise not maintained by staff.
OC San also needs flexibility to manage the distribution of work between the two selected firms.
Assignment volume will vary based on project needs,staff availability,and each firm’s ability to
provide qualified resources.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve two Professional Services Agreements to provide Supplemental Engineering Services and
authorize the General Manager to transfer funds between the agreements,as needed,without
increasing the total Board-authorized amount.
When OC San identifies a project or specialty support need,the two firms will be requested to
propose qualified staff.OC San will select the most appropriate resource or team for each
assignment and either authorize the staff to fill the staff role or negotiate the budget and schedule for
the task.
The General Manager’s authority to transfer funds between the two agreements will allow OC San to
balance contract capacity based on actual utilization and the availability of qualified staff from each
firm. This authority will not increase the total Board-authorized amount.
Staff will continue to provide quarterly reports to the Board of Directors on the utilization of the SES
contracts through Engineering’s Contracts Performance Report.

File #:2026-4970 Agenda Date:7/1/2026 Agenda Item No:7.
TIMING CONCERNS
Awarding these agreements in July 2026 will help to retain existing SES staffing as the existing
agreements expire.Delaying approval could create resource gaps while new OC San positions are
phased in and the CIP continues.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without these supplemental engineering resources,OC San may need to delay projects or
separately procure specialty services as needs arise,resulting in project delays and additional
administrative costs.

25. 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 OC SAN, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), protect and hold harmless OC SAN
and all of OC SAN’s officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, causes of action, suits, arbitration awards, losses, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs, and all other professional, expert or CONSULTANT’s fees and costs and OC SAN’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, 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 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. 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 OC SAN 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.
CONSULTANT is indemnified in OC SAN’s standard construction contracts. This indemnification is in the General Conditions which are attached to OC SAN’s standard construction contracts when these contracts are issued.
PSA PSA2026-001 Revised 050625 Supplemental Engineering Services Page 17 of 20
26. 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 OC SAN 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.
27. COMPLIANCE WITH OC SAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
CONSULTANT shall comply with all OC SAN policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Safety Standards, as applicable, and Human Resources Policies, all as may be amended from time to time.
28. CLOSEOUT
When OC SAN determines that all work authorized under the Agreement is fully complete and that OC SAN requires no further work from CONSULTANT, or the Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, OC SAN 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, OC SAN 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 the Agreement. Such support must be provided within the timeframe requested by OC SAN.
PSA PSA2026-001 Revised 050625 Supplemental Engineering Services Page 18 of 20
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 OC SAN (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 OC SAN 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 OC SAN for any purpose nor imply acceptance of, or Agreement with, the CONSULTANT’s request for final Agreement Acceptance.
29. PROHIBITION
During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT and its Subconsultants may not propose on any engineering or construction-related projects advertised by or on behalf of OC SAN if such work presents actual or perceived conflict of interest with

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Rules of Engagement PSA2026-001
Page 1 of 4
ATTACHMENT “A1”
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
This document describes how OC SAN may use a Supplemental Engineering Services
agreement to maintain the Engineering Project program while complying with
independent Contractor classification laws.
There are three mechanisms by which professional services can be supplied through
the Agreement:
• Task Authorizations
• Task Directives
• Program Role Assignments
These Rules of Engagement are intended to document how services are to be
requested, authorized, and managed.
Task Authorizations
When OC SAN requires a specific task completed, staff will contact each firm.
Depending on the nature of the task, OC SAN may request that each firm respond with
the proposed team, fee, and, if applicable, an approach to perform the work. Based on
these responses, OC SAN will determine which firm offers the most qualified and
appropriate team and/or approach and negotiate a Task Authorization with that firm.
Task Authorizations have a formal Scope of Work and a fixed upper limit.
Distinguishing aspects of Task Authorizations include the following:
• Requests for Task Authorization Proposal (RFTAP) require a Scope of Work
prepared by OC SAN staff.
• RFTAPs and Task Authorizations must be approved by the Director of
Engineering.
• The Scope of Work must include schedule requirements, tasks, deliverables, and
assumptions, similar in detail to a Design or Planning Study Task Order.
• Each Task Authorization must specify a firm, negotiated upper limit which may

Page 2 of 4
• The Scope of Work may be less detailed than what is required for a Task
Authorization.
• A schedule for completing the work should generally be specified, but it is not
always required.
• Task Directive must specify a firm negotiated upper limit which may not be
exceeded. If changes require a revision to that upper limit, it must be processed
as a formal Task Directive Amendment prior to the work being authorized and
performed.
• CONSULTANT shall report costs incurred for the Task Directive on their monthly
invoices, including total costs to date and the remaining budget.
Program Role Assignments
Program Role assignments direct the CONSULTANT to assign a qualified individual to
fill a specific role across multiple projects. For inspection staff, where assignments and
timing may vary from day to day to support the workload demand with construction
projects, the CONSULTANT shall designate a dispatcher who coordinates assignments
and schedules with OC SAN’s Inspection Supervisor. The dispatcher may be the
CONSULTANT’s Point of Contact, an assigned inspector, or another appropriate
representative.
Requirement for Program Roles:
• OC SAN will contact all firms eligible to provide professionals for the role.
• Assignment, duration, and budget:
o They are specific to one person.
o Assignments will generally be made before the specific need arises.
o Hours and costs will be tracked at the Program Role, project, and work
package level. An authorized budget will be established based on the
individual’s burdened rate and the duration of the assignment. The
individual’s location (Home Office or Site) impacts the billing overhead
rate. The burdened rate includes salary, overhead, and profit.
Reimbursable expenses, typical for travel or vehicle use, will also be
tracked.
o They are assigned for a specified duration. At the end of the specified
duration, the Program Role will either be closed or renewed.
o On-site Program Roles will be provided office space, key cards, an OC
SAN phone extension, an OC SAN email, and network access.
• Selection factors: The assignment will go to the firm that offers the professional
who is the best fit for the Program Role. Depending on the role, OC SAN may
consider:
o Relevant experience and expertise.
o Availability to begin work (for example, full-time availability if the role starts
immediately).
o On-site presence and proximity to OC SAN facilities.
o Cost-effectiveness when multiple qualified candidates are available.
Rules of Engagement PSA2026-001

• The Engineering Manager responsible for the function must approve Program
Role assignments. Only supervisors or managers may initiate Program Role
requests.

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 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.
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 OC SAN 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.

indemnification is in the General Conditions which are attached to OC SAN’s standard construction contracts when these contracts are issued.
26. 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 OC SAN 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.
27. COMPLIANCE WITH OC SAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES CONSULTANT shall comply with all OC SAN policies and procedures, including, but not limited to, the Contractor Safety Standards, as applicable, and Human Resources Policies, all as may be amended from time to time.

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 OC SAN (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 OC SAN 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 OC SAN for any purpose nor imply acceptance of, or Agreement with, the CONSULTANT’s request for final Agreement Acceptance.
29. PROHIBITION
During the term of this Agreement, CONSULTANT and its Subconsultants may not propose on any engineering or construction-related projects advertised by or on behalf
of OC SAN if such work presents actual or perceived conflict of interest with CONSULTANT’s assignments with OC SAN.

considered billable and non-billable under this Agreement.
Non-Billable Activities
The following activities are not billable to OC SAN:
• Proposal and staffing activities: Time spent identifying staff, preparing or submitting
proposal material, or negotiating budgets is considered marketing and is not billable.
• Pre-selection communications: Before OC SAN selects a firm for a request, any
clarifications, questions, or discussions should be directed to the designated Submitter.
CONSULTANT shall not consult directly with OC SAN staff outside of the Submitter.
Any such time is non-billable.
• General training: Technical training is not billable except for training specific to OC SAN
requirements, procedures, or standards.
• Internal performance management: Time spent addressing or documenting performance
issues of assigned staff is not billable.
• Other OC SAN-unrequested activities: Any tasks performed without a formal request or
outside of authorized Scope of Work, task directives, or task authorizations are non-
billable.
Billable Activities

ATTACHMENT “A1”
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
This document describes how OC SAN may use a Supplemental Engineering Services
agreement to maintain the Engineering Project program while complying with
independent Contractor classification laws.
There are three mechanisms by which professional services can be supplied through
the Agreement:
• Task Authorizations
• Task Directives
• Program Role Assignments
These Rules of Engagement are intended to document how services are to be
requested, authorized, and managed.
Task Authorizations
When OC SAN requires a specific task completed, staff will contact each firm.
Depending on the nature of the task, OC SAN may request that each firm respond with
the proposed team, fee, and, if applicable, an approach to perform the work. Based on
these responses, OC SAN will determine which firm offers the most qualified and
appropriate team and/or approach and negotiate a Task Authorization with that firm.
Task Authorizations have a formal Scope of Work and a fixed upper limit.
Distinguishing aspects of Task Authorizations include the following:
• Requests for Task Authorization Proposal (RFTAP) require a Scope of Work
prepared by OC SAN staff.
• RFTAPs and Task Authorizations must be approved by the Director of
Engineering.
• The Scope of Work must include schedule requirements, tasks, deliverables, and
assumptions, similar in detail to a Design or Planning Study Task Order.
• Each Task Authorization must specify a firm, negotiated upper limit which may
not be exceeded. Any changes must be processed as a formal Task
Authorization Amendment before the work is performed.
• The CONSULTANT shall report incurred costs for the Task Authorization on their
monthly invoices, including total costs to date and the remaining budget.
• Time charged to Task Authorizations does not count against approved Program
Role hours.
Task Directives
Task Directives are typically smaller than Task Authorizations where OC SAN provides
a Scope of Work and a not-to-exceed fee amount that will be negotiated with the
CONSULTANT. Task Directives include the following:
Rules of Engagement PSA2026-001
Page 2 of 4
• The Scope of Work may be less detailed than what is required for a Task
Authorization.
• A schedule for completing the work should generally be specified, but it is not
always required.
• Task Directive must specify a firm negotiated upper limit which may not be
exceeded. If changes require a revision to that upper limit, it must be processed
as a formal Task Directive Amendment prior to the work being authorized and
performed.
• CONSULTANT shall report costs incurred for the Task Directive on their monthly
invoices, including total costs to date and the remaining budget.
Program Role Assignments
Program Role assignments direct the CONSULTANT to assign a qualified individual to
fill a specific role across multiple projects. For inspection staff, where assignments and
timing may vary from day to day to support the workload demand with construction
projects, the CONSULTANT shall designate a dispatcher who coordinates assignments
and schedules with OC SAN’s Inspection Supervisor. The dispatcher may be the
CONSULTANT’s Point of Contact, an assigned inspector, or another appropriate
representative.
Requirement for Program Roles:
• OC SAN will contact all firms eligible to provide professionals for the role.
• Assignment, duration, and budget:
o They are specific to one person.
o Assignments will generally be made before the specific need arises.
o Hours and costs will be tracked at the Program Role, project, and work
package level. An authorized budget will be established based on the
individual’s burdened rate and the duration of the assignment. The
individual’s location (Home Office or Site) impacts the billing overhead
rate. The burdened rate includes salary, overhead, and profit.
Reimbursable expenses, typical for travel or vehicle use, will also be
tracked.
o They are assigned for a specified duration. At the end of the specified
duration, the Program Role will either be closed or renewed.
o On-site Program Roles will be provided office space, key cards, an OC
SAN phone extension, an OC SAN email, and network access.
• Selection factors: The assignment will go to the firm that offers the professional
who is the best fit for the Program Role. Depending on the role, OC SAN may
consider:
o Relevant experience and expertise.
o Availability to begin work (for example, full-time availability if the role starts
immediately).
o On-site presence and proximity to OC SAN facilities.
o Cost-effectiveness when multiple qualified candidates are available.
Rules of Engagement PSA2026-001
Page 3 of 4
• The Engineering Manager responsible for the function must approve Program
Role assignments. Only supervisors or managers may initiate Program Role
requests.
Project assignments are made under the Program Role to direct the CONSULTANT to
assign qualified individuals to specific projects. A project assignment may cover the full
project role or a defined portion.
Standard project assignments are listed below:
• Administrative Support
• Construction Scheduling
• Electrical Engineer
• Cost Estimator
• Outreach Support
• Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Engineer
• Commissioning Coordinator
• Inspection - Civil/Mechanical
• Inspection - Electrical/I&C
• Project Engineer
• Project Manager
• Resident Engineer
• Submittals
• Project Support (structural, HVAC, constructability, etc.)
Requirements for project assignments:
• Assignments will be made from existing Program Role assignments.
• Timing and duration depend on the project schedule or other designations.
• CONSULTANT assigned to a project will work directly with OC SAN or project
team members.
• Assignment requests must specify total estimated hours.
• CONSULTANT shall identify a Technical Lead to support assigned
CONSULTANT staff.
• Project direction will come from the CONSULTANT Point of Contact or
CONSULTANT Supervision, in coordination with OC SAN Project Team and
Supervision in Engineering.
CONSULTANT Staff Supervision
CONSULTANT is responsible for supervision of its entire staff, including the following:
• Administrative Supervision (CONSULTANT staff only)
o Performance reviews
o Timecard approvals
o Work hours
• Supervision of assigned roles
Rules of Engagement PSA2026-001
Page 4 of 4
o Work prioritization
o Technical input, guidance, and direction
o Quality Control for assigned deliverables
OC SAN does not supervise CONSULTANT staff. However, OC SAN provides
direction to CONSULTANT as an Owner, including:
• Project decisions and priorities
• Design standards
• OC SAN preferences
• Financial and risk considerations
• Compliance with OC SAN Policies and Procedures
• Coordination with other OC SAN projects and activities
