BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4c
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Adrian Combes, Senior Engineer
MEETING DATE: January 7, 2021
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: 2021 Rocky I Waterline Replacement Project REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to advertise for construction bids for the
2021 Rocky I Waterline Replacement Project.
DISCUSSION: The 2021 Rocky I Waterline Replacement Project (Project) will replace
approximately 4,200 linear feet (LF) of existing waterline (4-inch diameter steel) with new 8-inch diameter ductile iron waterline on Rocky Point Road. This Project will replace
undersized waterlines, add 7 new fire hydrants, a check valve/pressure relief valve that will help protect the system, and add additional fire flow capacity. The Project is being
funded by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Loan Program.
In order to assist with the ongoing Meter Installation Project, there are two pipelines being packaged together with this Project; one main extension of approximately 300 LF
on Mackedie Way to Ski Run Boulevard which will allow for the installation of two meters to be installed at the appropriate property lines; and the other installation is
replacement of approximately 800 LF of 4-inch steel watermain, with 8-inch C900 or ductile iron, on Stewart Lane which will allow for the installation of a large 6-inch meter
at the end of the line to Whispering Pines Apartments.
A new waterline of approximately 300 LF will also be added to the system, near the
Cornelian Booster Pump Station in Meyers. The segment outside of the Cornelian
Booster Pump Station will provide a loop in the Christmas Valley Zone. This loop will
greatly increase available fire flow to the area and eliminate a long dead-end.
In addition to the waterlines, two pressure regulating stations (Price Road Pressure
Regulating Valve (PRV) and Susquehanna PRV) will be replaced/re-built including new
instrumentation and a control panel so that the stations can be added to the
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for remote monitoring. The
PRV replacements are being funded through a grant program with the Bureau of
Reclamation.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7a
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Julie Ryan, Engineering Department Manager
MEETING DATE: January 7, 2021
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: Wastewater Treatment Plant and Field Stations Condition
Assessment REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Authorize staff to make minor modifications to the
proposed Scope of Work from Water Systems Consultants to perform the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Field Stations Condition Assessment; (2) Approve the revised
Scope of Work; and, (3) Authorize the General Manager to execute Task Order No. 1 in the amount $159,645.
DISCUSSION: The District operates and maintains a 7.7 million gallon per day (MGD)
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), as well as 40 sanitary sewer pump stations, 1
treated effluent pump station (e.g., Luther Pass), 12 active groundwater wells, and 16
water booster stations. Many of these facilities date back to the 1950s and 1960s, and many are still operating with the original mechanical and electrical equipment. Over
recent years, Capital Improvements have focused on updating a few of the most critical facilities within the systems (namely the effluent pump station, headworks, and
emergency power station at the WWTP, and the Big 5 and Luther Pass Pump Station in the field). The next ten years of the District’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) continues
this effort, but also begins to address the needs of numerous other field stations, as well as infrastructure within the WWTP that is nearing the end of its useful life. To aid in the
prioritization, cost estimation and timing of future projects for these numerous facilities,
the next step is for the District to undertake a comprehensive condition assessment.
A five-year cycle is typical within the industry for performing condition assessments, and
the District has fallen behind. In 2016, District staff performed a field assessment and
testing of major mechanical equipment within the WWTP, but did not consider other
aspects of facility condition such as structural and electrical. The last comprehensive
system-wide condition assessment of the District’s water stations was performed in 2012.
For sewer stations, it was 2007. Both of these field station assessments, however, were
very high-level and did little to identify specific deficiencies or end-of-life concerns that
might drive a project forward in priority.

District staff is well-equipped to provide insights into the condition of the mechanical systems and above-ground piping at its facilities and perform repairs on these systems
when they are needed. The District’s approach to date has focused on providing redundancy within the mechanical systems to improve the reliability of the systems. As a
result, a significant vulnerability remains with the electrical systems of its facilities, and the integrity of several structures and underground piping within the WWTP. Failure of an
electrical system, structure or certain underground piping can severely impact a facility’s ability to remain operational. Assessing these elements of the facilities requires
specialized expertise that District staff cannot provide. As a result, staff has sought consultant support to focus on these specialty assessments within select facilities at the
WWTP and water and sewer field stations, and to develop and evaluate alternatives to
address any deficiencies identified. The findings of the assessments will be used by the
District to help identify and prioritize future improvements within the existing Ten-Year
CIP, and beyond.
In September 2020, the District advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide
specialized condition assessment services for the WWTP and Water and Sewer Field
Stations. The requested Scope of Work included the following:
• Assess and evaluate the structural integrity of select structures at the WWTP,
estimating the remaining useful life and recommending options for rehabilitation,
if warranted;
• Using a combination of invasive and non-invasive techniques inspect the
condition and assess the remaining useful life of critical underground process
piping within the WWTP, making recommendations for rehabilitation and/or replacement, if needed;
• Inspect and test existing electrical equipment within the WWTP, estimating the remaining useful life and recommending options for upgrade and replacement,
if warranted, to support current and anticipated future operational needs;
• Inspect and test existing electrical equipment at select Sewer Pump Stations
through the District’s collection system, estimating the remaining useful life and recommending options for upgrade and replacement, if warranted, to support
current and anticipated future operational needs; and
• Inspect and test existing electrical equipment at select water booster stations
and groundwater wells throughout the District’s distribution system, estimating the remaining useful life and recommending options for upgrade and
replacement, if warranted, to support current and anticipated future operational
needs.
Each interested consultant was required to attend a tour of the WWTP in advance of
submitting a Proposal; five consultants attended tours. On November 6, 2020, the
Proposal period ended, and the District received four Proposals. A panel comprised of
six District staff from WWTP Operations, Electrical and Engineering reviewed and scored
the Proposals. From that review, the panel identified Water Systems Consultants (WSC)
as the preferred consultant team to perform the defined Scope of Work.

The proposed work will be performed over a period of 18 months in multiple phases. The first phase of work, being authorized under this request, will perform a desktop
analysis and focus on prioritizing field stations and underground piping for further assessment in the field. Details for the first phase are provided in the attached Scope of
Work, including the Cost Proposal, Project Schedule and Rate Schedule. The work will
be performed by WSC under a new District’s Master Services Agreement for Consulting
Services and Task Order No. 1 for Phase 1 of the defined Scope of Work. Staff has
requested that minor modifications be made by WSC to the Scope of Work prior to
execution of the Task Order, but they do not impact the total cost, schedule or
deliverables.
The first phase is scheduled to be completed by June 2021, at which time staff expects
to return to the Board to request authorization for the second phase as an Amendment
to Task Order No. 1. The second phase will include field investigations and alternatives
development and assessment; it is expected to be performed from July 2021 through
June 2022.

OPTIONAL TASK 1.0 OPTIONAL FUTURE TASKS
O1.1 Full Seismic Assessment
Optional Task to complete an ASCE 41 Tier 1 seismic analysis for each of the 12 WWTP
structures to identify deficiencies. Seismic assessment includes the development of a finite
element model analysis for each structure modeling the expected behavior in a seismic event.
The evaluation codes for the seismic analysis would include the current governing codes for
seismic loads, rehabilitation and retrofit of existing structures, and hydrodynamic loads (for
water containing structures). These are the CBC 2019, ASCE 7-16, ASCE 41-13, ACI 350-06, and
ACI 350.3-06.
This optional task may be executed for individual or all 12 structures pending the condition
assessment findings as recommended by the structural engineer. The allocation of the budget
for each structure is different and will be determined when structures are selected for full
analysis.
Material properties would be assumed based on era of construction or obtained from record
drawings/documents.
Deliverables: Analysis results will be provided for structures requested.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7b
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiel, General Manager
MEETING DATE: January 7, 2021
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: Department of Energy, Connected Communities Grant REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the District to join the City of South Lake Tahoe and other community partners in the submittal of a Concept Paper to the Department
of Energy for a potential Connected Communities Grant. DISCUSSION: The District has been invited by City of South Lake Tahoe (City) to partner with the City and other area agencies in pursuing a Department of Energy (DOE)
funding opportunity in the form of a Connected Communities grant. This DOE program includes $65 million in funding to help develop grid-interactive efficient building
communities nationwide. Staff understands that this grant could assist the District in funding current and future Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects to improve system
efficiency and cost effectiveness, and including lower power costs and increased reliability.
DOE will be awarding project grants from $3 to $7 million to demonstrate how groups of
buildings can reliably and cost-effectively use energy efficiency, smart technology, and distributed energy resources (solar generation, electric vehicles, etc.). The City is
proposing to submit a Concept Paper consisting of eight public and for-benefit entities
that use energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to increase grid resilience
and reliability. Stakeholders include the City, South Tahoe Public Utility District, Lake
Tahoe Unified School District, Lake Tahoe Community College, El Dorado County, South
Tahoe Refuse, Barton Hospital, and Sugar Pine Village.
The DOE grant process starts with a Concept Paper (attached), where approved
projects will be eligible to submit a full application. This is currently a low commitment
stage, as it is preliminary to any formal grant application submission. There is no
continuing obligation to the District.

Time is of the essence at this point and the City has requested that we provide a
response to them by Friday, January 8, 2021. This will allow the DOE to review the Concept Paper and hopefully invite the South Shore partnership to submit a full
application for consideration. Should this occur, additional District resources would be
required to develop a full application. Therefore, before any further commitments, staff
would bring this item back to the Board for review and approval.

South Tahoe Zero Energy/Zero Carbon District
The South Tahoe Zero Energy District (STZED) is a Connected Community project,
composed of eight potential public and for-benefit entities in South Lake Tahoe: City of
South Lake Tahoe, South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD), Lake Tahoe Unified School
District (LTUSD), Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC), El Dorado County, South Tahoe
Refuse (STR), Barton Hospital, and Sugar Pine Village (planned mixed-use, residential
housing in South Lake Tahoe).
The STZED endeavors to achieve 100% local, renewable energy for all participating entities
by 2025, in a way that:
• Creates a clean, resilient, more affordable, and equitable electricity system that
deeply decarbonizes South Lake Tahoe buildings
• Saves money for local residents, ratepayers and public institutions, with a goal of
reducing energy bills to monthly fixed service charges through community-owned
projects
• Increases grid resilience, reliability & backup power to sustain critical community
needs, while minimizing disruption from upstream power disruptions
• Maximizes grid efficiency by reducing transmission distances and line losses,
flattening peak demand and demand spikes, and reducing need for additional peak
generating capacity and related costs including upgrading of transmission and
distribution upgrades
• Manages and shifts loads to align with generation from local renewable sources
(load/demand flexibility and response).
• Models state of the art energy efficiency, electrification, load flexibility and
renewable energy solutions in a high alpine environment, in a way that can be
scaled and replicated throughout the Lake Tahoe Basin, and the country.
• Creates more comfortable buildings
• Collects, measures and analyzes data to demonstrate the ability of the STZED to
reduce and shift load, and to generate renewable energy as close as possible to those
loads (with a goal of 100% local generation).
• Employs hundreds of local workers in new, healthy, livable wage green jobs
The South Tahoe Zero Energy District will share and coordinate resources, strategies,
operations, technologies, products, services, expertise, and staffing to achieve zero net
energy for all existing and new buildings in its combined portfolio. The STZED will work in
partnership with industry energy providers (such as Core Construction and ProStar for
utilization of PPA financing models for efficiency/electrification/load flexibility/energy
management/renewables implementation), and with guidance from research and
governmental institutions (including the DOE’s Zero Energy District Accelerator, Rocky
Mountain Institute, and University of Nevada-Reno).
The foundation for achieving a Zero Energy District will be maximum deployment of grid-
interactive building energy efficiency (i.e. setting beyond Title 24 energy-efficiency levels of
37
20%–40% for individual buildings), electrification measures (for transportation, as well as
electrification of air/water heating & cooling systems), load flexibility, demand response,
and energy management systems. These measures will be paired with onsite renewable
energy generation sized to offset 100% of net building energy use wherever adequate solar
potential exists. Where there are groups of contiguous buildings with solar potential,
aggregated net metering will be used to create Zero Energy Clusters throughout the
District, where onsite solar energy offsets the cumulative energy use of buildings in the
cluster.
Where feasible, battery energy storage will be paired with onsite solar generation to meet
energy demands of individual buildings and Zero Energy Clusters at all time periods,
creating a network of clean energy, grid-connected community microgrids. Inclusion of
battery energy storage and microgrid systems will be prioritized where power reliability is
crucial, including for water pumping, emergency services, and housing for vulnerable
residents.
To maximize utilization of lower-cost solar resources, and to minimize utilization of grid
energy, the STZED will deploy an array of load/demand response and flexibility
approaches that are designed to maximize energy consumption during solar producing
hours, and to minimize energy consumption during non-solar producing hours. These
approaches will include managed EV charging, air source air and water heating,
deployment of smart devices (including smart thermostats, smart meters, smart water
heating, and internet-connected appliances), integrated building energy planning, modeling
and management tools & systems, and time of use incentives (i.e. charge during solar
production hours).
The STZED will hire an energy manager to optimize building and Zero Energy Cluster-level
Energy/Load Management Systems, including integration among and coordination with all
participating jurisdictions. The Energy Manager will install the hardware, software and
communications necessary to make buildings grid interactive. This approach will build
upon an existing pilot project at the City of South Lake Tahoe’s Public Works campus,
wherein Core Construction and ProStar are designing a City-owned Zero Energy Cluster
that will offset all net energy used by five contiguous public works buildings, following
deployment of energy efficiency, electrification and energy management system measures.
Two new buildings planned for construction in 2022 and 2024 – the City of South Lake
Tahoe Recreation Center, and Sugar Pine Village, will be designed and constructed as
demonstration Zero Energy buildings through the STZED Connected Community project.
Energy supply needs for the STZED not satisfied through onsite generation will be achieved
through excess generation on Zero Energy Cluster sites that have strong solar attributes,
given regulatory permission. The STZED will align energy needs of buildings in the District
that lack solar generating capacity with the excess generation from the nearest Zero Energy
Cluster to minimize line losses, thereby maximizing grid efficiency by locating renewable
generating sources as close to loads as possible.
38
Net energy needs not met onsite or by nearby Zero Energy Clusters, will be achieved
through participation in shared renewable energy projects located within the Zero Energy
District, including sites previously evaluated on the grounds of STZED partners, STPUD and
the City of South Lake Tahoe, pending regulatory permission. These project sites will be
designed with a mix of solar, battery energy storage, and/or wood energy (biomass) to
meet net energy needs (total energy use of all buildings less total onsite generation), with
careful planning conducted to optimize energy load shapes and peak load reductions to
align with shared renewable site generation. Liberty Utilities will be consulted regarding
any needed interconnection studies, limitations, and costs, energy data collection and load
forecasting, utilization of incentive programs, along with tariff and other regulatory
changes needed to accommodate STZED goals.
Through its network of Grid-Interactive Efficient buildings and strategically deployed
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), the South Tahoe Zero Energy District will create a
substation-level community clean energy system that aims to meet all energy needs of the
STZED entities at all time periods, obviating the need for import of fossil energy from the
NV Energy grid during non-solar generating hours. This connected community clean
energy system will increase the resilience of the South Lake Tahoe distribution grid,
providing power reliability for critical water pumping and delivery, health care delivery
and other vital community infrastructure needs provided by STZED partners.
The STZED will be designed to be scaled and replicated, particularly in similar high alpine
and rural environments. The STZED will lay the foundation for all properties in the City of
South Lake Tahoe to be powered by locally-generated, renewable sources of energy in a
community clean energy microgrid by 2030.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 15a
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiel, General Manager
MEETING DATE: January 7, 2021
ITEM – PROJECT NAME: Mobley Claim for Damages REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Reject the Mobley Claim for Damages and direct staff to send a written rejection notice to the Claimants
DISCUSSION: The South Tahoe Public Utility District (“District”) entered into an Option
and Lease Agreement with Verizon to lease a portion of the District’s property for installation of a cell tower. Verizon subsequently hired JFC Construction, Inc. (“JFC”), to
install the cell tower. In turn, JFC hired Bullseye Drilling to drill a deep hole for the foundation of the cell tower. William Mobley owned Bullseye Drilling and was the
operator of the drilling equipment. On May 28, 2020, as Mr. Mobley was extracting the drill from the completed hole, his operator’s seat suddenly tipped and he fell into the
hole and died.
The claimants, Reanne Mobley, Rena Mobley and Douglas Mobley, are his wife and children (collectively “Claimants”) and seek an unspecified amount of damages. The
Claimants assert that work site was on property owned, managed, operated and controlled by the District, which was in a dangerous and defective condition. A copy of
the Claim for Damages (“Claim”) is attached for reference.
The Claim was timely submitted to the District when it was mailed on November 27,
2020, which was within the six-month timeframe to file the Claim. The contents of the
Claim substantially comply with the statutory requirements. The District is allowed 45
days after the Claim is presented to it in which to take action which is extended an
additional 5 days since the Claim was mailed. As a result, the District’s action on the
Claim should be mailed to the Claimants by Friday, January 15, 2021.

The District can reject a Claim, allow a Claim, reject or allow a Claim in part, or compromise a Claim. If the District does not take action on the Claim within the six-
month timeframe, the Claim is deemed rejected on the last day of that period. Once the Claim is deemed rejected, the Claimants may file a lawsuit. If written notice is not
given that the Claim was rejected or deemed rejected, a two-year statute of limitations
applies to the Claim. In contrast, rejection of the Claim coupled with a notice of
rejection triggers a shorter six-month limitations period in which to file a lawsuit.
Staff recommends that the District reject the Claim since the accident occurred on a
portion of the District’s property that is leased to Verizon with Verizon having complete
control over all activities. The District should send a timely written rejection notice to the
Claimants in order to trigger the shorter six-month statute of limitations within which the
Claimants may file a lawsuit.
