BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4d
TO:
Board of Directors
FROM:
Julie Ryan, Senior Engineer
MEETING DATE:
November 6, 2008
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Country Club Tank and Waterline Replacement Sitework
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Change Order NO.1 to Hangtown General
Engineering, in the amount $1,488.82.
DISCUSSION: Change Order No, 1 addresses eight work items that are beyond the
scope of the Contract, two credits for cost-saving changes in work, three changes in
contract quantities and a change to the contract time.
1, During construction it was brought to Staffs attention that there were no instructions
included in the Contract Drawings for the tie-in at the junction of the 6" main and the 4"
service line. The additional work to provide and install a 6" x 4" tee with a 4" gate valve
was performed on a Lump Sum basis for an additional cost of $1 ,423,27.
2. Due to obstructions along the alignment for the water service pipeline, the District
opted to move two of the service from the back of the properties to the street. This
change replaced 172 feet of 4" waterline with 108 feet of 2" waterline. The additional
work was performed on a Lump Sum basis, The net difference for the change is a credit
to the District in the amount <$4,023,36>.
3. The District's waterline easement crosses through the fenced backyard of a
residence. To isolate the neighbor's yard from the construction project, the District
asked that the Contractor install a chain link fence for the duration of the project. This
fencing was not included in the contract work, The chainlink fence rental was performed
on a Lump Sum basis for an additional $450,00,

4, During construction of the waterline, the Contractor encountered a sewer crossing in
Crystal Aire Drive, Due to the configuration of the crossing, the Contractor could not
protect the waterline, as shown in the plans. Instead they had to encase the sewer,
which resulted in additional work. The work was performed on a Time & Materials basis
for an additional cost of $490,19.
!5. The valve configuration shown on the Contract Documents for the tie-in at Skyline
Drive was not the best configuration for future operation, The Contractor performed a
no-cost change to improve the configuration,
t>. During construction, the Contractor discovered an improper tie-in of a neighbor's yard
drain to the District's abandoned tank drain pipe, To rectify the problem, District staff
instructed the Contractor (with authorization from the neighbor) to sever the connection
and redirect the yard drain to a new drywell that the Contractor installed, The additional
work to sever the connection, re-direct the drain and install the drywell was performed
on a Lump Sum basis for an additional cost of $1 ,562.46.
7, Due to a miscommunication between District staff, the Contractor was required to
disinfect and test the new tank inlet/outlet pipe twice, The additional work to disinfect the
tank inlet/outlet pipe the second time was performed on a Lump Sum basis for an
additional cost of $400,00.
8. The Contract Documents indicated that the District would provide a survey of the tank
center for the Contractor to use to locate the new foundation, Due to time constraints,
the Contractor obtained the survey himself, at the District's direction. The additional
work to perform the survey was done on a Lump Sum basis for an additional cost of
$300,00.
9. Due to time constraints coordinating with the tank fabricator to provide cast-in-place
bolts to the Contractor, the District opted to eliminate the bolts from the Contract scope
of work, [Instead epoxy bolts have been added to the tank builder's contract.] The
elimination of cast-in-place bolts from the Contract has resulted in a Lump Sum credit to
the District in the amount <$500,00>.
10, Due to delays in the erection of the tank, which is under a separate Contract beyond
the Contractor's control, the Contractor could not return to the site to finish stabilization
and cleanup within the Contract Time, Staff recommends that the Contract Time be
extended by twenty-one days (to October 21,2008) to account for these delays, There
is no cost impact associated with this time extension,
11,-13, The installation of the 6", 8" and 18" pipe were performed on a Cost per Linear
Foot basis, Accordingly, the quantities installed vary somewhat from the quantities bid,
Three items of the change order address changes to the Contract Total based on the
installed quantities, The net difference to the Contract Total based on these three items
is $1,386,26,

As the Board is aware, this project was split between two contractors, and the Board
approved both bids, Hangtown General Engineering performed the sitework and
waterline replacement, including demolition of the old tank and construction of the new
foundation, Crosno Construction is building the new Country Club Tank and re-coating
Forest Mountain Tank. Hangtown's work, which is the subject of this agenda item, is
complete and on budget. Crosno's bid included costs for both interior and exterior
recoating of Forest Mountain Tank, even though the project description only called for
exterior recoating (due to damage by the 2007 Angora Fire). Further inspection of
Forest Mountain Tank showed that the interior coating was in poor condition, and staff
elected to move forward with this portion of the work, Recoating the interior of Forest
Mountain Tank is an unbudgeted activity, and is beyond the amount budgeted for
recoating the exterior of Forest Mountain Tank (which is covered by our insurance).
The cost for this un budgeted activity will be accounted for in one of two ways: (1) it will
be absorbed into the 2008/09 budget by savings in other projects or (2) it will be applied
to use and contingencies at the end of the fiscal year,

October 6, 2008
Mr. Richard Sol brig
General Manager
South Tahoe PUD
1275 Meadow Crest Dr
S Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Dear Mr. Solbrig:
It is widely recognized that California water agencies are facing the most serious water crisis in
history. If you believe that crisis creates opportunity, I'm sure you'll agree the biggest
opportunity of our time is knocking at the door.
ACW A's Board of Directors made a historic decision on Sept. 26, 2008, to seize that opportunity
and deliver unprecedented leadership and service to the water community. The Board
overwhelmingly approved a Strategic and Business Plan that equips ACW A to provide game-
changing leadership and also adds new levels of accountability to ensure ACW A's actions are
tied to the Board's policy goals.
The Strategic and Business plan builds on the strong foundation of ACW A's 2005 water policy
document, ''No Time to Waste: A Blueprint for California Water," and commits ACW A to
decisive action in two key areas. The first area is providing historic leadership in the Delta,
recognizing that ACW A alone is positioned to unite water agencies like never before around a
comprehensive water plan.
The second key area is taking member assistance and support to new levels - especially in areas
such as fending off raids on local revenues, protecting water rights and securing funding for local
resources
~
Taking advantage of these historic opportunities requires some investment on the part of ACW A
members. The Board agrees, and overwhelmingly approved the plan and the financial
commitments to implement it.
Steps have been taken to minimize the impact on dues, but there will be some effects, ranging
from a few hundred dollars a year for small agencies to a few thousand dollars a year for larger
agencies. As one Board member put it, the impact is similar to the cost of a new laptop or a new
12-inch valve.
ACW A will be mailing your 2009 dues invoices mid October. Invoices are being mailed earlier
than normal to allow adequate time to build the plan into your 2009 budget.
Association of California Water Agencies 910 K Street, Suite 100, Sacramento, California 95814-3577 916/441-4545 FAX 916/325-4849

We are indeed facing extraordinary times as well as exciting opportunities. It's time to step up
and make sure ACW A is positioned to make a difference.
Thank you for your continued support as we seize the moment as an association.
Sincerely,
ACW A President

ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION
Ivo Bergsohn reported the District solicited proposals
from four consultants to conduct a monitoring well
installation program to collect water quality data related
to the use of reclaimed water on the Diamond Valley
Ranch. Based on the results of staffs evaluation of each
firm, Farr West Engineering was recommended to conduct
the work in accordance with their proposal, and also
recommended a cost ceiling of $60,000 be set for this
work.
Moved Schafer / Second Claudio / Passed Unanimously
to approve proposal received from Farr West Engineering,
with a cost ceiling of $60,000.
Ross Johnson reported one of the operators plans to
retire in May 2009. He requested hiring an operator
now to allow time for the new person to develop the
proficiency necessary to independently handle routine
operations by training for six months in advance of the
anticipated vacancy.
Moved Jones / Second Claudio / Passed Unanimously
to approve hiring an Operator 111I1 six months in
advance of an anticipated opening.
Ross Johnson reported that attempts to fill this position
for a limited term were unsuccessful. The electrical
department has been running without one of their four
employees for six months and it is unknown when the
department will be fully staffed. Preventative maintenance
projects have slipped and many in-house type of improve-
ments have had to be outsourced. Authorization for this
position will allow the department to keep up with the
current workload. The department will return to four-person
staffing level through attrition.
Moved Claudio / Second Schafer / Passed Unanimously
to authorize hiring a full time permanent. Electrician 1/11
with the Electrical Department to return to four person
staff through attrition.

Water and Wastewater Operations Committee: The
committee met October 13. Minutes of the meeting
are available upon request. Most of the meeting was
devoted to Complete Wireless, a company interested in
leasing a site for their tower.
City of South Lake Tahoe Issues Ad Hoc Committee:
Richard Solbrig reported a meeting with City represen-
tatives will be held October 23. Staff will discuss the
Lahontan NPDES requirements. Solbrig will meet
separately with the City Manager and request that an ad
hoc committee meeting be held (comprised of two District
Board members, and two City council members) to
discuss several other issues.
Manaqement Neqotiations Ad Hoc Committee: The
committee met October 13 to discuss the Koff salary
study.
Director Jones reported the water agency is part of a
regional river management organization called CABBY.
The District's property tax money that was shifted to the
water agency is being used to pay part of the $90,000
membership fee and there is no benefit whatsoever to
the District from their membership. Director Jones voiced
his concerns and the water agency board agreed to review
the effectiveness of CABBY. A lot of money has been
spent to date, but no grants have ever been received.
The group has spent over $300,000 per year, and will
have spent approximately $1 M by year end. Plus, they
hired three full time staff, who now wish to receive
medical insurance and CaIPERS. The next water
agency meeting will be held November 12.

ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Heavenly Valley Snowmaking
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve proposal from Municipal Financial Services
(MFS) to evaluate the capital and operating costs, in the amount of $21 ,760.
DISCUSSION: Heavenly Valley is looking to increase the quantity and improve the
reliability of water that the District supplies to Heavenly for snowmaking in both the
States of California and Nevada. Prior to committing capital dollars to the construction
of facilities to increase the quantity of water available for snowmaking, Heavenly would
like the District to provide an analysis of water service rates for their off-season water
consumption.
MFS submitted the attached proposal to provide a comprehensive analysis of both
water service rates and capacity charges for Heavenly Valley's unique situation. The
District will not execute an agreement with MFS unless the Water Facility Agreement is
complete and Heavenly agrees to pay for the rate study.

Subject: Proposal to Evaluate the Capital and Operating Costs for Heavenly Valley Snowmaking
Dear Mr. Sciuto:
Municipal Financial Services is pleased to submit this proposal to evaluate the request by Heavenly
Valley (Heavenly) for increased water supply from the South Tahoe Public Utility District (District) to
enlarge and enhance their snowmaking operations. The proposed approach, scope of work,
budget, and schedule are described below along with our experience and qualifications.
Approach
Our approach will be to team with District staff and the District's legal counsel to evaluate the costs
that are allocable to Heavenly for its use of the District's water system infrastructure and for a
supply of water to Heavenly for the enlargement and enhancement of their snowmaking operations
(the Project). This Project is unique in its mix of possible infrastructure requirements, infrastructure
which may be contributed by Heavenly, and the source, amount and timing of water usage
projected by Heavenly.
Please note that our work is technical, not legal, in nature. To the extent it addresses laws,
regulations or court decisions of any jurisdiction, it is not intended as a precise, detailed or thorough
summary of the pertinent legal authorities. The District should note that our work will not be
prepared or reviewed by an attorney (other than the District's legal counselor persons on the
District's distribution list), and it is not intended, and should not be relied upon, as legal advice. Its
purpose is to assist in the recognition and analysis of capital and operating costs that may be
allocated to Heavenly for the Project. Questions concerning the interpretation or applicability of the
legal authorities referenced herein should be referred to an attorney qualified in the specific subject
matter.
Project Team, Qualifications and Experience
The qualifications and experience of our project team with projects similar in scope and with emphasis
'on work performed for public agencies in California is described in the following paragraphs.
Proiect Team
The project team will consist of Tom Pavletic and Marv Winer. Tom Pavletic is the owner of Municipal
Financial Services, a sole proprietorship. Marv Winer will be a subconsultant to Municipal Financial
Services.
The team will be headed by project manager Tom Pavletic. Tom will be responsible for
development of Excel-based spreadsheets and the production of all deliverables. He will coordinate
-59-
Mr. Paul Sciuto
September 29,2008
Page 2 of 4
all activities and be the primary point of contact. Marv Winer will assist Tom in the scope of work
and will review all deliverables.
Tom, formerly Brown and Caldwell's Regional Manager of Financial Services until mid-2005, has 20
years of experience serving public utilities. He has worked with water, wastewater, and storm water
system staff and managers in financial planning, regulatory analysis, storm water and wastewater
pretreatment program supervision, litigation support, and construction project management. He has
developed water, wastewater, and storm drainage rates and capacity charges for numerous
municipalities.
Marv Winer, who preceded Tom as Brown and Caldwell's Manager of Financial Services, has 34
years of experience developing rates and capacity charges for over 100 water, wastewater,
drainage, and solid waste utilities throughout the country. Employed full-time by Brown and
Caldwell from 1973 to 1999, Marv now works on a part-time basis as a subconsultant. He will
provide study oversight, review work products, and review cost allocation and capacity charge
development concepts. He will contribute significantly to the review and development of
methodologies applied in the spreadsheet. Marv will be a subconsultant to Municipal Financial
Services.
A partial list of recent water-related studies conducted by Tom and Marv is shown below in Table 1.
Marv and/or Tom have worked on rate studies for many of these agencies for 15 - 20 years.

the Excel model used by the District to prepare water rates for FY 2007/08; the proposed capital
facilities for the enlargement and enhancement of snowmaking operations and the operational cost
for those facilities; and the proposed hourly and daily water usage for the enlargement and
enhancement of snowmaking operations. We will evaluate the District's water capacity charges as
to their applicability to Heavenly's request for an increase in its water supply. We will request
additional data as is evident to us for the complete evaluation of Heavenly's request. We will attend
one meeting at the District for the purpose of discussing items relevant to this task.
Task 2 - Recommend expenditures applicable to Heavenly Valley. Based on the data made
available to us, we will determine the costs for Heavenly's use of the District's water system and for
the delivery of water for the enlargement and enhancement of Heavenly's snowmaking operations.
Our evaluation of expenditures will include items of concern to the District, such as service related
factors, water system improvements that would benefit the District as well as Heavenly, and other
considerations (the cost-related benefits if groundwater recharge is improved by the project and the
cost-related benefits of snowmaking credits applicable to the project). We will quantify the
determination of costs for Heavenly's use of the District's water system so that the methodology for
the derivation and calculation of costs may be incorporated into an agreement.
We will conduct phone conference calls/net conferences for the evaluation of data as often as
required to the extent possible within the proposed budget for this task.
. Task 3 - Prepare and deliver presentation. We will prepare a presentation of findings and
recommendations based on the work performed in Task 2 and deliver that presentation at the
District's preferred time and location.
Task 4 - Prepare draft and final letter reports. We will prepare a draft letter report and submit it
to the District for review and comment. Based on a consolidated set of comments from the District,
we will revise the report and prepare a final letter report. We will submit one hard copy and one
electronic copy (in Adobe pdf format) of the final letter report to the District.

In the face of the economic downturn, falling stock markets, and State of
California raids upon Special District revenues, what steps are the Board of
Directors taking to protect the ratepayers, who are also suffering fiscally?
Other local Sewer and Water districts are taking steps to reduce their fiscal
liabilities and minimize additional rate increases by hiring freezes, eliminating or
consolidating existing positions, and calling upon management and labor to
share the burden with ratepayers by freezing salaries, wages, and voluntary
unpaid time off.
How have the Districts financial reserves been affected by the stock market
plunge? Is it prudent management to continue hiring and expansion during these
trying times as if we are still in an expanding positive economy? Or is it more
effective to delay projects or extend their time tables until the economy
improves?
Representing the ratepayers of the District, I would ask that the Board adopt a
similar responsible stance to protect our District and ratepayers, conduct and
scrutinize management salary discussions in the light of the current economic
situation, realize that the C.O.L.A. is falling and not give into locking a C.O.L.A.
percentage until later in negotiations, and delay the finalization of these contracts
until after the first of the year to further grasp District revenue shortfalls and their
effects. Delaying may save the District and thus ratepayers many thousands of
dollars in salary expense over the next contract period.
Be open to the fact that consultant studies of corresponding positions in
similar districts tend to feed off themselves and spiral management and labor
costs ever higher within the comparables. If STPUD position "A" receives a raise
based on a consultants study, then all other positions within the comparison
group are thus raised fractionally upon each successive comparison, etc., etc.
Is not the relationship to comparable salaries for comparable positions within the
supporting community more important than other districts in different areas?
The salary differential between positions in the District, local government, and
agencies, compared against the people whose taxes and fees support them is
increasing and so are the misgivings of the community towards these entities.
I would also ask the Board to examine all possible loss offsetting options
available to them in Alpine County such as hydroelectric generation, leases for
crop growth and grazing, and most importantly recycled water sales.
The time is now to show you share the burden of this fiscal downturn and care
about the ratepayers bearing it. Please consider them, do not simply continue the
status quo and expect the ratepayers to continually pay the toll.
Thank you,
John W. Runnels, President
Citizens Alliance

EID iayo
list grows
$5 million budget cut needed; •
discussions with employees under way
Special to the Democrat
Reorganization at El Dorado Irrigation
District in September saved the district $1.1
million to $1.4 million annually, primarily by
eliminating nine management positions and
downgrading eight others. But to balance its
2009 budget EID will need to cut an additional
$5 million, said General Manager Tom Gallier.
"We face difficult decisions," said Gallier,
"and the list of options includes the elimination of up to 40 posi-
tions or more. Layoffs are the last resort, especially given the
economic downturn in the county. We don't want to lose valuable
knowledge and skills. Nor do we want to add to long unemploy-
ment lines and to the ripple effects that job losses have on Main
Street businesses. But it may be unavoidable."
Gallier said he is discussing the following options with
employees as the means to avoid layoffs.
• Elimination of seven vacant positions for an estimated sav-
TOM

LAYOFFS
ings of $600,000 in salaries and
benefits.
Elimination of 12 -15 posi-
tions'' through an incentivized
e21y retirement program
offred by CaJPERS, the dis-
triQt's retirement system. This
wciuld- save approximately $1.4
million:
about two weeks of unpaid
ftt'toughs for all employees,
estimated to save $1 million.
• Elimination of 2009 cost -of-
livig allowances and merit
inc*ases for all employees, at
an ditional savings of around
$1 amillion.
ne million dollars equates
to salaries and benefits for 10 to
12" ,positions at the district,"
Gallier said. "So for every. $1
miltion, 10 to 12 people could
losd their jobs. I'm open to any
ides, but the options I've iden-
tifi4d are the biggest cost -
sav rs"
allier said he has no plans to
pro ose new rate increases to
hri e the existing 2009 budget
ga noting that "in these bad
eco omic times, we want to do
all ewe can to cut our budget,
w e avoiding layoffs and rate
increases. Of course. a major
chafige in circumstances may
make that goal impossible to
achieve."
As an example of a major
change, Gallier pointed to the
growing threat that the state —
in trying to balance its own
budget — may once again take
local property tax revenues
away from special districts like
EID.
"Gov. Schwarzenegger has
announced he will call a special
legislative session as early as
next week to deal with what he
says is a $3 billion debt that
could rise to $10 billion,"
Gallier said. "If the state does
take our property tax revenues
to help bring down that debt, it
would mean a loss of more than
$10 million to us."
"There is no doubt that if we
lose upward of $10 million in
property tax revenues, we will
have to ask our customers to
help replace that loss." Gallier
added. "It could mean a sur-
charge of up to 30 percent on
their water rates, their recycled
water rates, and their wastewater
rates. And we wouldn't be able
to lift the surcharge until, or if.
the state pays us back.
"Rather than taxing citizens
directly, state legislators would
be forcing local agencies like us
to do that work for them"
continued from A -1
The additional $5 million
budget cut is needed to account
for the following.
• A sudden $3 million jump in
the amount of interest the dis-
trict must pay on existing and
anticipated new debt that
finances a number of critical
projects. The higher interest
rates are a direct result of the
mess on Wall Street that is
impacting local governments
and businesses across the coun-
try.
• A $1 million decrease in
property tax revenues as com-
pared to last year. The decrease
is not related to the potential
state grab of the district's prop-
erty tax revenues. Instead, it is
mostly due to declining property
valuations in the county.
• A $1 million drop in revenue
from the district's hydroelectric
power generation system
because of the drawdown at
Caples Lake this year to fix
badly deteriorated outlet works
at the main dam.
