BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4d
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Stephen Caswell, Senior Engineer
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM-PROJECT NAME: Primary Clarifier 2/Aeration Basin 1 Rehabilitation Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Change Order No. 1 to Farr Construction
California, dba Resource Development Company in the amount$68,688.94.
DISCUSSION: Change Order No. 1 addresses three balancing quantities and eight work
items that are beyond the scope of the contract.
1. During construction, it came to staff's attention that Aeration Basin 1 contained
six pressure relief valves, instead of three as noted in the contract.The contract
calls for all pressure relief valves to be replaced.South Tahoe Public Utility District
(District) staff directed the contractor to purchase three additional relief valves.
The additional work for purchasing and installing the additional relief valves was
performed on a lump sum basis in the amount of$3,310.55.
2. During construction, District staff requested that the outlet baffles in Aeration
Basin 1 be removed instead of coated as originally called for in the contract.The
original costs for coating the baffles was credited to the District; however,
removal required additional labor costs to grind and remove anchor bolts.The
additional work was performed on a lump sum basis in the amount of$178.72.
3. It was brought to staff's attention that the Aeration Basin sidewalk was in poor
condition and demolition as shown on the contract drawings would not be
practical without significant increases in cost.The District worked with the
contractor to develop an alternate plan for rehabilitation of the existing
sidewalk.The rehabilitation work was done on a time and materials basis and
combined with the original costs for the sidewalk repair resulted in a credit to the
District in the amount of<$6,001.12>.
—7—
4. District staff requested an additional stop plate be added to the Aeration Basin 1
influent channel to isolate out of service portions of the channel.The additional
stop plate will eliminate stagnant water in this portion of the channel,which can
be a source of odors.The additional work for purchasing and installing the
additional stop plate was performed on a lump sum basis in the amount of
$6,977.72.
5. During submittal review, it was brought to staff's attention that the pipe support
for the new Aeration Basin 1 header was not constructible as shown on the plans.
Staff and the design engineer directed the contractor to modify the pipe
support.The additional work was performed on a lump sum basis in the amount
of$13,357.53.
6. During construction, District staff identified spare wires in existing conduit that
could be used to send the signals from the new clarifier drive to the PLC.The
contract called for excavation, installation, and backfill for a new conduit for
these signals.The District directed the contractor to use the existing wires and
conduit resulting in a savings to the District in the amount of <$4,926.00>.
7. During sandblasting of the Primary Clarifier, District staff noticed dust clouds
escaping the Primary Clarifier covers.These clouds were not substantial, but did
raise concern with staff about potential emissions from sandblasting operations
within the Aeration Basin which is not covered.Additionally, the coating that is to
be applied to the Aeration Basin walls has specific environmental controls that
must be maintained during application and curing.The District requested the
contractor address these two concerns by covering the Aeration Basin and
agreed to split the cost with the contractor.The additional work was performed
on a lump sum basis and the District's portion is$7,077.00.
8. During construction,District staff noticed that the clarifier drive previously
purchased by the District did not contain a torque potentiometer or transmitter
as previously thought.The District directed the contractor to obtain and install
the potentiometer and transmitter for the drive torque signals.The additional
work was performed on a lump sum basis in the amount of$3,369.54.
9. The concrete spall repair and crack repair for Primary Clarifier 2 bid items of the
contract were bid on a cost per unit price basis. As such, the actual installed
quantities for these two bid items varied from the quantities bid. After removal of
the existing coating in the Primary Clarifier launder, it was discovered that the
underlying concrete required significant repair that could not have been known
at bid time. Additionally, the coating manufacturer recommended repairing
cracks of a smaller size than the contract required.The change order will adjust
the contract quantities for these two items to reflect the installed quantities for a
net cost to the District in the amount of$41,880.00.
10.The concrete coating for Primary Clarifier 2 bid item of the contract was bid on a
cost per unit price basis. During construction, the District directed the contractor
to coat more areas than were originally called for in the contract.The change
order will adjust the contract quantity for this item to reflect the installed
quantities for a cost to the District in the amount of$3,465.00.
-8-
Staff recommends that the Board approve Change Order No. 1 to the District's
contract with Farr Construction in the amount$68,688.94.This Change Order No. 1
brings the contract total to $1,433,444.94.The engineer's estimate for construction was
$2,000,000.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7c
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiel, Engineering Department Manager
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM-PROJECT NAME: Water System Reliability, Fire Flow, and Water Quality
Improvement Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize Task Order No. 4 to West Yost Associates in the
amount of$96,400,for engineering consulting services.
DISCUSSION: The El Dorado County Water Agency (EDCWA) has approved funding for
a number of planning projects,which were submitted by the District earlier this year for
potential funding. One of these projects is the referenced project for system-wide
reliability with fire flow, redundancy and water quality as major project components
(see attached proposal from West Yost).
The proposed work will be based on the District's water model,which was completed
as part of the Water System Optimization Plan. West Yost will be using the model as a
basis for evaluating system deficiencies and vulnerabilities, and also for developing
project alternatives for system-wide improvements. At the culmination of the project,
the District will have a complete picture of where hydrants,waterlines, and other system
improvements are needed throughout our service area in order to provide various
levels of service for fire flow. We will also have a plan to reduce systematic risk for large-
scale and critical water outages by identifying projects to improve redundancy and
limit probability and consequence of failure. West Yost will also use the model to
evaluate water age and other water quality parameters throughout the system and
provide a specific flushing sequence in selected areas to flush out sand and keep
water fresher,while limiting the water loss that results from the flushing process.
The total project amount approved by EDCWA is$120,000,which has a 50/50 match
requirement. EDCWA requires that its portion of the project budget be utilized by
consultants and not District staff time. The District can, and does, use its own staff time
towards the match component.

Mr. John Thiel
Engineering Department Manager
South Tahoe Public Utility District

South Lake Tahoe CA 96150
SUBJECT: Scope of Services — Water System Reliability, Fire Flow, and Water Quality
Improvement Project
Dear Mr. Thiel:
At your request, West Yost Associates (West Yost) is pleased to provide the South Tahoe Public
Utility District(District)with this scope of services to perform water system hydraulic modeling
and analysis work using the District's existing water system hydraulic model to perform
evaluations for system reliability,system redundancy,and water quality.The sections below detail
the work requested and effort required to complete these evaluations.
BASIC SCOPE OF WORK
Below is the basic scope of work and proposed budget to be performed for the hydraulic model
evaluations requested.
Task 1 —System Fire Flow Evaluation
The District has requested a system-wide evaluation of available fire flow including predicted fire
flow at all locations for all pipe sizes; identification of customers not currently served by an
effective hydrant per the District's Level of Service standards;and identification of where hydrants
should be added and where pipeline installations or other system improvements are required.
West Yost will use the District's hydraulic model to evaluate various fire flow demands
(e.g., 500 gpm, 750 gpm, 1,000 gpm). West Yost will determine locations within the District's
system which are currently deficient in hydrant spacing and make recommendations for additional
hydrants and locations.The fire flow system evaluation will be used to help prioritize the order for
installing the new hydrants.The evaluation will include reviewing locations with deficient hydrant
spacing,evaluating available fire flow predicted using the hydraulic model,and determining areas
that are a priority to improve public service, health and safety. The fire flow system evaluation
will include identifying areas within the District's service area where available fire flow is low.
West Yost will make recommendations for improving fire flow service to these areas using the
hydraulic model to demonstrate the improved fire flow availability.

A complete picture of the system's ability to provide fire flow to all areas will be developed and
improvements needed to improve areas with low fire flow availability to meet Level of Service
standards will be identified. Recommended improvements will be prioritized and planning level
cost estimates will be prepared.

Task 2—Valve Criticality Evaluation
The District has requested West Yost use the District's existing hydraulic model to help identify
critical valves within the system. The District's service area has been expanded over the years by
acquiring several small water companies. The inter-ties between these water companies did not
always include a lot of redundancy which increases the risk of the District's customers being out
of service should a valve or pipeline fail.
West Yost will use the District's hydraulic model to identify additional areas at risk due to lack of
redundant supply sources and/or lack of isolation valves.West Yost will work with the District to
identify known areas that are at high risk of outage due to a valve or pipeline failure. In addition,
West Yost will work with the District to develop a list of risk and consequence of failure factors
to use for prioritizing the valve criticality to the system. Examples of the factors that may be
considered for determining valve criticality prioritization are number and types of services
impacted by an outage,capacity of a valve or pipeline.
West Yost will make recommendations to improve the reliability and minimize impacts to the
system based on the valve criticality evaluation.The recommendations will be made for the highest
priority locations using the hydraulic model to confirm recommended improvements provide a
reliable alternative for serving customers.

Task 3—Christmas Valley Zone Unidirectional Flushing Plan
The District requested West Yost to prepare a unidirectional flushing (UDF) sequence for their
Christmas Valley Pressure Zone. The District has received several complaints regarding sand in
the system in this pressure zone. Over the years, the District has addressed the complaints of
sanding by performing a traditional flushing in the area of the complaint.However,the traditional
flushing has not solved the sanding issue. The District's hydraulic model has been developed in
InfoWater for the WSOP Project and this software has an extension that allows for the
development of unidirectional flushing sequences.The program produces individual maps for each
sequence which detail which hydrant will be flowed,which valves need to be closed,which valves
need to be opened, minimum time for flush, approximate flow expected, and velocity expected.
West Yost has previously prepared sequences for approximately half of the Christmas Valley Zone
through the WSOP.West Yost will prepare the sequence to flow water from the Christmas Valley

Tank location through the remainder of the Christmas Valley Zone to flush the lines. West Yost
will work with the District to confirm the sequences are adequate for their need and make a few
alterations to the sequences if requested by the District.
Task 3 Deliverables: West Yost will prepare a TM documenting the flushing sequen ;es and provide the
District with procedures for performing the UDF sequences.
Task 4—GIS Integration and Model Update
West Yost recently updated the hydraulic model to reflect system improvements for several areas
throughout the District's system. As the District continues to improve and replace pipelines
throughout the system, the District wants the hydraulic model results to reflect recent
improvements that have been made to the system and be consistent with the District's GIS. The
model will be updated to correspond to GIS information.The model and GIS will be improved to
include field test data by Lake Valley and the City of South Lake Tahoe fire departments.
Task 4 Deliverables West work with the District to prepare procedu es ani ,,h--;:;z:.nF, for

standards will include best pIacti';es to transfer information our o the tr,iitituJii noneriudti the vIC
and also to add updates to the hydraulic model from the GIS.
Task 5—Project Management and Meetings
West Yost will provide project management-related activities including general project
coordination with the District.Monthly invoices will be prepared that include brief descriptions of
services performed under this scope of work, including schedule and budget adherence.
West Yost will provide bi-weekly project progress check-ins with the District via conference calls.
The conference calls will be used to update the District on the progress of the hydraulic
evaluations, including work completed the previous weeks and work anticipated for the next
weeks. West Yost will also conduct two in-person meetings with District staff. The first meeting
will be used to gather information from District staff on the hydraulic model evaluations being
performed, determine the priority of the evaluations, and receive input from District staff,
including operations, on the areas of concern. The second meeting will be used to present results
and recommendations of the evaluations to District staff.
West Yost will also provide in-person training of District Staff and be available to answer
questions as needed for model support.
COMPENSATION
West Yost will provide the above described scope of work for a not-to-exceed total budget of
$96,400 billed on a time and materials basis, at the billing rates provided in Exhibit A. Table 1
summarizes estimated hours and budget for each task.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7d
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Trevor Coolidge, Associate Engineer
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM-PROJECT NAME: Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Contract for Farr West Engineering (Farr West) to
provide engineering services to complete an alternatives evaluation for the Keller-
Heavenly Water System Improvements Project for an amount not to exceed $100,000.
DISCUSSION: The Keller Zone provides water to the area adjacent to and above the
Boulder Lodge at the Heavenly Ski Resort. It is supplied by a high pressure main from the
Keller Booster Pump Station that feeds two high elevation water tanks, before gravity
feeding back into several subzones through a series of pressure reducing valves (PRV's),
with one subzone intertied to the adjacent Heavenly pressure zone. The service area
includes both resort and residential properties within an urban-forest interface.
The existing tanks serving the Keller Zone were constructed in the 1960's without
foundations or footings and are structurally vulnerable to a seismic event,while also
subject to catastrophic failure as a result of rock hazards above. The Keller Zone is
currently unable to meet the fire flow called for in the area and lacks system
redundancy, due to reliance on a single booster pump station that does not have an
emergency generator.
There are numerous options available to the District to address the concerns over
redundancy, reliability, supply, and public safety,so staff has identified the need for an
alternatives evaluation prior to commencing with design. The alternatives evaluation
will study and provide recommendations on rock fall mitigation measures at the existing
tank site, alternative tank sizes and locations, booster pump, intertie(s) to the Heavenly
Zone, and PRV options. Due to proximity to the Heavenly ski area as both a major
customer and potential tank site alternative, it is also anticipated that the evaluation
will take into account potential future water demand for snow making.
To aid in the identification and selection of a preferred alternative, staff developed a
request for proposal (RFP). On October 19, 2015, the Keller-Heavenly Water Systems
Improvements RFP was advertised with a November 16, 2015, proposal deadline.
During the advertising period, the District received strong interest in the RFP and was
visited by seven different consultants from as far away as Washington State,with each
-23-
firm ultimately submitting a proposal for engineering services. Proposals covered the
proposer's approach to evaluation, design, and construction,with detailed scope and
man hour estimates for the evaluation phase.
To evaluate the proposals, a review committee was formed with members from
Engineering and Field Operations staff. Based on the District's established proposal
review process, Farr West was identified as the preferred consultant. Farr West was
notified on December 3, 2015, of their ranking as the top rated firm and District staff
then reviewed the proposed scope and allocation of hours with the firm to ensure that
the District's expectations were clear and could be met within the proposed scope of
services and budget, as attached.
Farr West's task order includes:
• Data collection and review of existing studies and references
• Development of evaluation criteria
• Development of project alternatives
• Hydraulic modeling of project alternatives
• Preliminary geotechnical and rock fall analysis of existing and alternative site(s)
• Development of alternative analysis technical memo and 10%design drawings
• Project management, coordination, and workshops
Farr West has an existing Master Services Agreement (MSA) with the District and is
available to begin work immediately. Work will be performed on a time and materials
basis not to exceed $100,000, as a new task order under the existing MSA.The
alternatives evaluation will be completed by June 30, 2016, to meet an El Dorado
County Water Agency funding deadline,which is providing a portion of the funding.
Upon completion of the proposed scope of work, staff will evaluate the proposed
alternatives and recommend a preferred project for design and construction. Staff
intends to request an amendment to the Farr West Contract in 2016, for design and
permitting of the preferred alternative to upgrade the Keller and Heavenly pressure
zones.

RE: SCOPE OF WORK - SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT KELLER-HEAVENLY
WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS PHASE 1
Dear Trevor,
Farr West Engineering (Farr West) appreciates the opportunity to continue its efforts to assist the South Tahoe
Public Utility District (District) with the District's Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements Project
(Project). The primary purpose of the Project is to evaluate the various water supply and storage alternatives,
and identify a preferred water supply project for the District to correct the current public safety, fire flow,
system reliability,and redundancy deficiencies. This project includes three distinct phases;however,only Phase
I is included in this SOW:
• Phase I—Alternatives evaluation(current contract)
• Phase II—Design(contract after completion of Phase I)
• Phase III—Construction(contract after completion of Phase I)
The approach for Phase I—Alternatives Evaluation,will evaluate the feasible water supply options and develop
a preferred alternative, project description, and opinion of probable cost. As it is currently written, this phase
would include performing a detailed ranking and evaluation of supply and storage alternatives. In the end, a
preferred water supply project and its associated components would be recommended, and a detailed project
description would be prepared. This would put the District in position to move forward with the environmental
permitting process and design.
Phase II—Design,will include the focused efforts towards the complete detailed design of the selected project
alternative from Phase I, including, but not limited to, survey, design drawings, specifications, permitting
assistance,subsurface exploration,opinion of probable cost,and bidding assistance.
Phase III—Construction,will include providing assistance to the District with efforts including,but not limited
to,pre-construction activities,construction management,and completing record drawings.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The overall project goals are:
• Define water supply and storage alternatives that will identify a sampling of feasible projects to the
District addressing the current deficiencies;
• Complete preliminary property, environmental, and regulatory assessments necessary for each
alternative to understand efforts during design,and

Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
• Develop an evaluation format that encompasses pertinent factors for the District's selection.
Farr West will provide continual project management for Phase I that will include coordination with staff and
consultants,management of the project scope,budget and schedule,as well as preparing and submitting monthly
invoices and project update summaries. These project management tasks will continue throughout the duration
of the project.
Descriptions of the tacks to be performed as part of Phase 1 are detailed below.
TASK 1: DATA COLLECTION AND REVIEW
Farr West has collected initial data(during the proposal stage) from the District to gain an understanding of the
performance and condition of existing facilities within the project area. Farr West will work with the District to
gather additional pertinent data and reporting needed to complete the alternatives evaluation, permitting, and
final design. The objective of this task is to obtain a clear understanding of current system conditions. A
number of data sources will be used in this effort,including:
• 2013 Rockfall Hazard Assessment for Keller Tanks Site(provided by District).
• 1991 Heavenly Aerial Topo Survey(provided by District).
• Draft 2015 Water System Optimization Plan(provided by District).
• 2015 Critical Waterline Evaluation Report(provided by District).
• 2012 STPUD Waterline Replacement Planning(provided by District).
• Current STPUD Water System Model(to be provided).
Further review of data and collaboration with the District during this task may result in additional alternatives to
be included in the evaluation.
Deliverables/Action Items
• None
TASK 2: ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION
Alternatives Analysis
The District has previously identified three alternatives, and Farr West has identified(within the proposal)two
additional alternatives that are to be evaluated. This SOW assumes for one additional alternative to be evaluated
for a total of six(6)alternatives to be evaluated. If further analyses of alternatives,not identified,are deemed to
be feasible, they would be further evaluated in this Phase and incorporated into the overall alternatives
evaluation. The scope of Phase I would be modified,as necessary,to accomplish these additional efforts.
Evaluation Criteria:
Farr West will begin this task by identifying the potential water system improvement alternatives. This will also
include recommendations or alternatives that the District would prefer being incorporated. This process
includes an interactive decision making workshop with District staff to develop a basis of design criteria for the
alternatives. The design criteria will be conformed into a matrix type evaluation table and used to evaluate,
rank,and ultimately select the preferred water supply and transmission alternative. This process results in a fair
and unbiased assessment of alternatives,and ultimately a well-defined project.
Evaluation factors will include the prioritized design criteria as well as other key factors identified during this
process. An outline of the recommended evaluation criteria and Farr West's "first cut" at the relative
Page 2 of 8
—26—
December 9,2015
Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
importance of these criteria will be provided to the District prior to the workshop. Examples of key factors to be
considered in the comparison include:
• Capital costs
• O&M costs
• Location of facilities
• Complexity and operator attention
• Access to facilities for day to day O&M
• Constructability
• Land acquisition and easements
• Timing and implementation
• Financing
• Integration into existing system
• Community acceptance/opposition
• Permitting complexity
• Consistency with Level of Service(LOS)criteria
• Other factors from the District's Optimization Plan will be integrated into the criteria
The purpose of this effort is to identify and describe the design criteria that will be used to evaluate,rank, and
select the preferred water supply and transmission options. The Farr West team will develop a preliminary list
of design criteria,which will then be reviewed in detail with District staff. The design criteria will be broken
down into categories based on the type of issues/topics to which they pertain. Examples of this include:
• Operations and Maintenance —These criteria address factors that affect the day to day operation and
maintenance of the facilities,as well as O&M costs;
• Engineering—These criteria address design capacity,production well design,transmission main design
and construction constraints and challenges,regulatory compliance,capital costs;
• Environmental Permitting—These criteria address and consider issues related to the CEQA permitting
process that will need to be addressed as part of the project, and should be considered early in the
evaluation and comparison process,and
• Public Outreach—These criteria acknowledge and consider the potential sensitivity and concerns of the
general public and stakeholders throughout the region which may require outreach and education to
communicate the benefits and potential impacts of the project.
This task is important to establish the preferences and ultimate objectives for the new facilities with District
personnel to ensure that those criteria are incorporated in the final project. Other criteria will be identified as the
project moves forward. Feedback from the District is critical in establishing and prioritizing the most important
aspects of the project to the District.
Modeling:
Farr West will collect the District's current water system model, in InfoWater. It is assumed that the model is
"turn-key" and no efforts towards loading, calibration, or other preparatory operational measures will be
required prior to efforts in this task. Farr West will analyze each project alternative within the model to
determine its effects on the system and ensure that all District general water system performance requirements
are being met. Fan:West's team will engage in innovative approaches to each model to understand the existing
system and zone behaviors,and determine if modifications can be made in efforts to allow for improvements to
the current Keller zone deficiencies.

Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
Additional Analysis:
Per the request of the District,a line item for additional analysis has been incorporated into this SOW. Efforts
under this line item include analysis of additional items within the system model that are identified and directed
by the District's user group. These efforts will be performed, as directed, on a time and material basis not to
exceed$21,960,as identified in the attached fee estimate.
Geotechnical and Rockfall Analysis
In conjunction with Farr West's efforts, our sub-consultants (CME and Kane Geotech) will be performing
preliminary geotechnical evaluations based on existing reports,literature review,and local experience. In depth
geotechnical and rockfall analysis for the two tank sites will be perfonned in Phase 2. The Keller booster pump
station will receive a literature review. These efforts are further detailed below.
Keller Tank Site:
The primary design issue is rock fall potential upslope from the tank site. It is also understood that USFS owns
the property upslope from the tanks and approval from the USFS including environmental studies could be
required prior to the construction of rockfall protection improvements.
HDR previously conducted a rockfall potential investigation for the District at the Keller Tank Site. It was
concluded that seismically induced rockfall is a significant hazard. Rockfall could significantly damage both
existing water tanks and/or impact structures located downslope from the tanks. It was determined from our
preliminary review of the existing report that many factors were not investigated, could be considered
differently,and resultant information was not presented.
Due to the potential of snowpack, difficulties accessing the sites, and per the District's request, a complete
rockfall analysis and geotechnical refraction investigation will not be possible to complete within the Phase 1
schedule completion date. Therefore, these efforts will be completed during Phase 2. Consequently, it is
recommended to utilize the results from the HDR investigation to determine potential rockfall mitigation
construction strategies. As the rockfall mitigation will likely be a primary issue in determining if the tank will
be relocated,this investigation will initially be completed early Phase 1. An opinion of probable cost will also
be presented to these mitigation strategies.
The mitigation options for both geotechnical and rockfall will be presented to the District with a range of costs;
however, until a complete investigation is conducted, these estimated costs will (and should) be considered
preliminary.
Other design/construction issues:
• The existing tank pad site likely cannot be widened to accommodate either a one larger tank to replace
the existing two water tanks or to build a new tank near the existing tanks. The replacement tanks will
likely have to be constructed in the similar footprint as the existing tanks.
• The access roadway to the existing water tanks is narrow and,unless widened,may not allow access for
construction equipment.
• Geologically,the existing tank pad site is located on a combination of in-cut granitic bedrock,classified
as a granodiorite of Cretaceous age, and fill soils. Placement history of the existing fill soils is likely
unknown. Consequently, if the new tank footprint is placed onto these fill soils, analysis of possible
differential settlement will have to be completed. Removal of these fill soils and replacement with
structural fill may be required.
• To assess the preliminary geotechnical conditions, a site reconnaissance would be performed, which
may be limited for Phase 1, depending on snowpack One of the purposes for the site reconnaissance
would be to determine approximate cut and fill areas and map the existing bedrock cut slope. The fill
Page 4 of 8

• • December 9,2015
Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
soil characterization will be critical. Exploratory test pits and/or exploratory borings would be
completed as part of Phase 2. Geophysical studies would also be completed in Phase 2 to assess the
existing bedrock for excavation characteristics and seismic site parameters.
Heavenly Valley Tank Site:
This tank site is located on moderately sloping terrain in a forested area. Grading will include construction of a
level tank pad and cut and fill slopes.
Design issues include potential rockfall and grading difficulties. A rockfall potential and protection
investigation will be completed for this site under Phase 2. Preliminary information gathered in the preliminary
review of the Keller Tank Site will be projected for the Heavenly Tank Site. Additional recommendations
include the following:
• Comparison of rockfall hazards to that of the Keller Tank site to determine relative severity of potential
rockfall impact on the tank. At this time, options may include alternatives to a rockfall barrier. For
example, stabilizing individual large blocks may reduce the need for slope protection measures. In the
case of this site, the relatively flat upslope gradient compared to the Keller site should allow for the
reduction in the scope of the rock slope protection measures. These, as well as other options, will be
presented in the Report of Findings.
• A recommendation to either re-site the tank to the Heavenly Valley site or not. This recommendation
will be based on the rockfall hazards at each site relative to each other, cost, constructability,
environmental/visual impact, and maintenance requirements in comparison to a recommended
mitigative measure at the Keller Tank site.
Geologically, it is anticipated that granitic bedrock underlies the site, similar to the Keller Tank site. The
primary construction concern is the excavation of the bedrock and the strong possibility of blasting. Blasting
will have to be patterned to produce rock particles that can be incorporated into the fill pad. Rockfall potential
downslope from the tank pad may have be investigated with possible protection for downslope structures, if
located below the tank pad.
Booster Pump Station
A site reconnaissance will be performed to observe any potential construction issues with any retrofit or
expansion of the current station. While subsurface explorations will not be performed at the site with this phase
(Phase 1),research of existing geotechnical information will be performed.
Geotechnical and Rockfall Summary—Phase 1:
• Site reconnaissance for preliminary rockfall analysis and geotechnical site characterization;
• Identify areas for further site characterization including subsurface exploration.
• Complete rockfall analysis utilizing information from HDR's previous report and providing preliminary
potential mitigation alternative measures based on this report.
• Provide opinion of probable costs for different rockfall mitigation measures(Keller tank Site)based on
HDR's report. This may not be necessary at the Heavenly Site,depending on rockfall potential.
• Summarize potential construction and design issues including existing fill soils (Keller Tank Site),
grading and filling, bedrock excavation characteristics, slope stability, and seismic issues. This
summary will be based on research of existing geotechnical information and should be considered a
preliminary level effort.
• Present preliminary rockfall analysis and geotechnical site characterize issues to the client for tank
location selection.

Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
All Phase 1 geotechnical, rockfall, and water modeling results will be incorporated into the alternatives
evaluation and design criteria to rank each alternative. The preferred combination of water supply,storage,and
rockfall alternatives will be evaluated thoroughly with the results identifying a preferred project. The identified
project will be used as the basis for developing the project description and moving forward with the
environmental permitting and design of the project. With the selection of a project alternative, Farr West and
team will develop a project description. The preferred project description will be an important document for
project planning,for public outreach,and environmental compliance documents and permit applications.
Any result alterations from Phase 2 geotechnical and rockfall investigations and testing will be incorporated at
the design level. If alterations affect the preferred project,the project alternatives may be reassessed to ensure
the District moves forward with the most feasible project.
NOTE: Site reconnaissance for preliminary site review of geotechnical and rockfall work may be limited, or
prohibited, due to the presence of snow. If access is not obtainable, all preliminary review, results, and
recommendations will solely be based on literature review and photographic records.
Geotechnical and Rockfall Summary(Phase 2):
Based on the review of the existing rockfall report, to properly assess the available rockfall protection options
and provide opinion of probably costs, additional site reconnaissance and rockfall analysis is required. The
primary element of this investigation will be to identify larger rocks that could cause damage to the tank. It may
be more economical to individually anchor rocks in-place,or remove them from the slope,then to design a rock
barrier to either deflect the rock or prevent the rock from impacting the tank site. The rockfall investigation will
include the following:
• Review of existing geotechnical information, reports, and maps provided which are pertinent to the
project area.
• Evaluation of site conditions,including physical verification of rockfall hazards within the project limits
that need mitigation. Parameters to be determined include, but are not limited to, slope surficial
characteristics, source area, design boulder(s) size and shape, slope gradient and gradient changes,
geology,and slope dimensions.
• Analysis of potential rockfall through simulation to determine rockfall energies and bounce heights for
the purpose of recommending optimal mitigation locations. Subsequent to the field work, rockfall
analyses will be performed on selected slope profiles using the Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program
(CRSP)to determine probable bounce heights and energies.
• Summary and evaluation of mitigative options. Mitigation can include design and construction of a
rockfall barrier and/or tensioned mesh systems, removal of rockfall hazards,protective berms, or other
construction options.A Report of Findings will be produced with options and opinion of probable costs.
• Recommendation of a single mitigative option based on contributing factors such as constructability,
cost,environmental/visual impact,and maintenance requirements.
As part of the geotechnical investigation for Phase 2, research and geophysical field measurements using the
Refraction Compressional Wave (p-wave)technique will be performed in general accordance with the method
described in ASTM D5777. Bedrock compressional velocities measured will be compared to rippability tables
produced by Caterpillar. Geophysical field measurements using the Refraction Microtremor(ReMi)will also be
performed in general accordance with the method described by Louie (2001). The ReMi method provides an
effective and efficient means to obtain basic subsurface profile information on an essentially continuous basis
across the explored location. Shear wave velocities measured will be used to determine the Site Soil
Classification for detennination of the tank seismic design parameters.

Scope of Work—Keller-Heavenly Water System Improvements,Phase 1
As part of Phase 2,cut and fill slope gradient stability analysis will also be completed to determine design slope
gradients. Optimal slope gradients will be determined to minimize grading. Grading recommendations
incorporating cut materials from the tank pad will be given. These recommendations will likely include
placement requirements for a rock fill material that cannot be tested by conventional density testing methods.
Preparation of Technical Memorandum
This task includes the preparation of a summary Technical Memorandum (TM) which will summarize the
alternatives evaluation process and the selected project. It will include the design criteria, evaluation process
results, preferred alternative,project descriptions, and planning level opinion of probable costs. This TM will
serve as the basis for moving the project forward into the design phase and potential NEPA and CEQA efforts.
Farr West will provide a draft TM to the District for review and comment. Upon review,Farr West will prepare
and attend an alternatives workshop with the District to discuss all parameters of the TM. All comments by the
District will be reviewed and incorporated into a fmal TM that will be provided to the District.
Preparation of 10%Design Drawings
Upon completion, Fair West will prepare 10% level drawings to provide the District. These plans will utilize
the 1991 Heavenly Aerial Topo Survey provided by the District. Inclusive will be preliminary site layouts and
general approach details to visually present the proposed alternative.
Not included in this Task
Efforts not included in Task 2 of Phase 1:
• Survey,permitting,or any design efforts beyond preliminary contact,understanding or 10%plans.
• Any/all items presented under the Phase 2 summary of the geotechnical and rockfall section.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7e
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Tim Bledsoe, Manager of Customer Service
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM-PROJECT NAME: Customer Service Department Staffing
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to hire one full-time, limited term Meter
Technician and one full-time, limited term Customer Service Representative.
DISCUSSION: The Customer Service Department has and continues to evolve as the
District converts to a metered system. Historically, the Customer Service Department
operated with three permanent full-time customer service representatives and three
permanent full-time inspectors. When meters began to be installed, three temporary
employees were hired annually to help address the additional impact to the
department: one assisting customer service representatives and two assisting the ,
inspectors.
Currently, the District intends to install 2,000 meters during the 2016 construction season
and the remaining over the following three years. The impact to the department is
ongoing, not just during the construction phase. Many of the impacts are listed below:
• Customer phone calls have increased due to high bill complaints.
• Check reading must be done for high bill complaints which require additional
staff time.
• The meter replacement program was implemented to replace aging meters that
do not read accurately.
• Meter readings are required to prorate a customer's bill due to the change of
ownership for escrow purposes.
• Quarterly meter readings have to be done in order to bill District customers.
Once meters are read, maintenance reports are printed to identify errors which
must be investigated and corrected.
• Coordination with the Engineering Department during meter projects and main
line replacements.
• Installation of MXU's and programming meters
The result of these and other additional impacts is an increase in staff overtime and a
scheduling burden during periods of employee absences. Also, the additional time
spent on tasks related to meters impacts the time available for collection efforts.The
department has improved the number of delinquent accounts, but the delinquency
rate is still unacceptable. As mentioned above, the Board has approved seasonal
employees for the Customer Service and Inspections Departments to help address the
additional workload. But, as Engineering has pointed out,seasonal employees are
limited to 1,000 hours per fiscal year under the District's program.Several of those hours
are spent training the seasonal employees, leaving less hours available for
accomplishing actual tasks that need to be completed in the department. History has
proven that several talented individuals employed by the District as seasonal
employees in the past, have found-full time benefited employment with other utility
companies requiring the hiring and training of new temporary employees.
In order to maintain quality, consistent and well trained employees, staff is proposing to
convert three temporary positions to two full-time, limited term, four year positions: a
Meter Technician and a Customer Service Representative. The approximate additional
cost of this proposed conversion is $34,000 per year (see attached cost analysis).
Staff recommends the Board approve the hiring of one limited term Meter Technician
and one limited term Customer Service Representative,with an estimated hire date of
March 1, 2016, through March 1, 2020.

Attachment - Cost Details for Positions
Customer Service Representative-This proposed full-time limited term position will be a
District union employee with a four-year term.The compensation would follow the
existing structure for the Customer Service I, Step A position along with all normal District
benefits and in compliance with the existing Union MOU.
The costs of this full-time position are estimated on the starting point of the District-Union
MOU pay range. The estimated cost for the Customer Service Representative position
with benefits is $69,989 per.year. For reference, the cost of a full-time Blue Ribbon
seasonal employee is $53,477, resulting in an annual difference of$16,512. This position
will perform the duties of a Customer Service Representative.
Metering Technician Position-This proposed full-time limited term position will be a
District union employee with a four-year term.The compensation would follow the
existing pay structure for the Customer Service Inspector I position, along with all normal
District benefits and in compliance with the existing Union MOU.
The costs of this full-time limited term position are estimated based on the midpoint of
the relevant District-Union MOU pay range. The estimated cost for the Metering
Technician with benefits is $77,554 per year. For reference, the cost of two part-time
Blue Ribbon seasonal employees is $60,403 resulting in an annual difference of$17,151.
SCHEDULE: Upon Board Approval
COSTS: Approximately$70,000 for a Customer Service Representative and $78,000 for
the Meter Technician per year for a four-year term.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7f
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Nancy Hussmann, Human Resources Director
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM- PROJECT NAME: Self-Insured Dental Plan Renewal for 2016
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: 1) Approve renewal of the Self-Insured 2016 Dental Plan
with a funding level of$148.14 per employee per month; and 2) Approve the 2016
COBRA Dental rates at $54.15 Single; $108.30 Employee +1; and $184.10 Family.
DISCUSSION: With a self-insured plan, the District pays the actual cost of dental claims,
and trends indicate that there is a high claim expense year every 4-5 years. The last
high claim year was in 2010. In 2015, dental claims increased 10% and an additional
increase is attributable to the latest Segal Health Plan Cost Trend Survey, indicating that
dental trends are estimated to increase 3.5% in 2016.Therefore, BB&H Benefit Designs
recommends a funding level increase of13.35%, from $130.69 to $148.14. This amounts
to a $24,081 .00 increase over 2015 funding levels. There is no increase to the dental
administration fees charged by CDS Group Health.
Because the funding level increases, COBRA rates also need to be reviewed and
adjusted accordingly, including offering a three-tier system of COBRA benefits. BB&H
Benefit Designs recommends that COBRA rates before the 2% administration fee (which
is retained by CDS Group Health) be $54.15 for Single coverage, $108.30 for Employee +
1 coverage, and $184.10 for Family coverage.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7g
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Nancy Hussmann, Human Resources Director
MEETING DATE: December 17, 2015
ITEM-PROJECT NAME: ACWA-JPIA Medical Insurance Renewal Rates
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Information Only- No Action Needed
DISCUSSION: The District received the 2016 medical insurance rates from the ACWA-
JPIA, where the District participates in the Anthem Blue Cross PPO Classic Plan. Rates
for 2016 will be $776.91 for Single coverage; $1,582.30 for Two-Party coverage; and
$2,126.89 for Family coverage. Using the District demographics, this represents a 7.44%
increase over 2015 rates. This increase is less than the industry trend, which according
to the Segal Group's 2015 Health Plan Cost Trend Survey, finds that medical plans show
a 9.2% increase for PPO plans in the west. BB&H Benefit Designs has actually seen an
increase in rates for other plans of 11-15%, mainly due to health care reform. The
ACWA-JPIA absorbs the costs of various health care reform fees in order to keep
premium rate increases to a minimum.
ACWA-JPIA has also recently implemented the Castlight price comparison software
program, where plan participants can "shop" for medical services, comparing the
physicians' quality ratings and cost of specific procedures. This was implemented to
educate employees about the differences in costs in medical services with different
providers, with the hope that they will select those providers whose services cost less,
thereby saving claim costs in the pooled plan. The District has already had some
participants using this new feature to shop for medical services.
