PARTNERSHIP
2
Mr. Don Jones, Project Coordinator for the Center for Water Studies at
Cuyamaca College, provided an update on their Center (for Water Studies). The
Center’s objective is to educate the next generation of water industry
professionals. His presentation included information on the:
Water Industry Challenges
California Community College System
Cuyamaca Water and Wastewater Program
Center for Water Studies
Forging Stronger Industry Partnerships
He stated that the program is a partnership with the water industry. Cuyamaca
College is educating and preparing the next generation of workers for the water
and wastewater industry and the industry is hiring their students. Cuyamaca
College’s goal is to have the best facilities, curricula and faculty to prepare
successful industry professionals. They have invested more than $2 million in
the program and hope that the water industry will share in the investment with
them.
President Smith thanked Mr. Jones for his presentation. He stated the program
is a tremendous effort to train the next water and wastewater professionals and
the District very much appreciates their efforts.
Director Robak noted that Mr. Jones is a longtime veteran of the water industry.
He worked for the City of San Diego Public Works Department for 30 years and
Vista Irrigation District for 12 years. He is the driving force behind the Cuyamaca
College program. Director Robak inquired if job postings are being shared with
the College. Mr. Jones indicated that they are receiving job postings periodically
and they hope to develop a system where the College could have a presence on
the District’s and other agencies’ websites HR page and vice versus for job
postings.
Mr. Jones indicated in response to another inquiry from Director Robak that three
years ago the State Chancellor’s office, after direction from the legislature,
authorized the California community colleges to develop 15 four year degree pilot
programs that are not offered by either the California State Universities or
University California campuses. He stated that these pilot programs are taking
place now. Additionally, during this legislative session, the legislature is
discussing the possibility of expanding with 15 more pilot programs. When this
occurs, the staff at Cuyamaca College will be approaching the San Diego County
water agencies to provide letters of support that will be presented with a proposal
for a four year program for the Center for Water Studies. He indicated that 4,500
to 5,000 people in San Diego County work in the water and wastewater industry
that supports a population of 3.3 million. This is a very small workforce that we
depend on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He stated that this is a program that
is needed in the County.
3
Director Croucher inquired about tours of their facilities and program and Mr.
Jones indicated that they would be happy to provide tours to those interested.
7. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – OPPORTUNITY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
TO SPEAK TO THE BOARD ON ANY SUBJECT MATTER WITHIN THE
BOARD'S JURISDICTION BUT NOT AN ITEM ON TODAY'S AGENDA
Mr. Joe Pantoja of Chula Vista indicated that he was a golf instructor at Salt
Creek Golf Course and he is attending today’s meeting to request that the
District’s Board consider reopening the Salt Creek Golf Course. He stated that
he and other investors have organized themselves and wish an opportunity to
take over the golf course. He asked that the Board review and consider what
they have to offer.
President Smith provided background on the Salt Creek Golf Course. He stated
that the Otay WD has owned the golf course property for many years. The
property was first used as “spray fields” for wastewater before the District
constructed the Chapman water reclamation plant. The land has been leased by
multiple golf course owners and the first lessee opened the golf course in 2000.
The original developer, Mr. Michael Strode, invested approximately $20 million to
develop the golf course. At that time, golf was gaining in popularity. After about
11 years, the golf course began to have financial difficulty and eventually went
bankrupt. Director Thompson added that the District, in an effort to assist the
golf course lessee keep the course open, provided a lease reduction two (2)
years ago and, unfortunately, they were unable to keep the course open.
Mr. Ruben Osorid of Chula Vista indicated that he did not feel it was a fair
economic review of the golf course. He asked that the board consider that the
Cities of Chula Vista and San Diego need open space for children and places to
work. He asked that the Board reconsider the closing of the golf course.
Mr. John Devore of Chula Vista and the golf coach for Olympic HS stated that the
Salt Creek Golf Couse has been their home for golfing for the past twelve (12)
years. They share time on the golf course with Bonita Vista HS, Hilltop HS and
Otay Ranch HS. He stated it is a community resource with a unique European
style course and vast practice facilities. He stated he is appealing to the Board to
consider keeping the golf course open to invest in the kids and the community.
Mr. Joe Heinz of Bonita stated that he is the coordinator of athletics for the
Sweetwater Union HS district which encompasses twelve (12) high schools in the
South Bay and he is also the President of the Metro Conference which
encompasses the twelve (12) high schools and Mater Dei Catholic HS. He
indicated he wished to echo Mr. Devore’s sentiments. Their athletic program has
limited resources within its boundaries for practice and with Salt Creek closing, it
will make a big impact on their program. They have 300 to 350 student athletes
that participate in the sport of golf and the program is growing. He stated
anything the Board can do to keep the Salt Creek Golf Course open will pay
dividends to the students and the community.
4
Ms. Delsy Pantoja of Chula Vista indicated that she is asking that the Board
reconsider options for the future of the Salt Creek Golf Course. She shared that
her daughter played golf on her high school team and it not only provided her
personal growth, but was a benefit to her on her college application. She asked
the Board to please consider the impact the closing of the Salt Creek Golf
Course will have on the future potential educational options of our community’s
children.
Mr. Edward Fletcher of Bonita indicated that there should at least be an
investigation on how the prior lessee utilized the Salt Creek Golf Course to
acquire the Warner Springs Golf Course. He indicated that Salt Creek Golf
Course is the only “links” style course in the County of San Diego with the
exception of Barona. He asked the Board to please not close the Salt Creek Golf
Course and to work with the community to find other options for Salt Creek.
Mr. Steve Deutsch of Chula Vista indicated he is a parent of one of the student
golfers utilizing the Salt Creek Golf Course. He stated that his son is in an
excellent training facility at Salt Creek. The course has the best training area and
it would be a tremendous benefit for him to continue to train there. He asked the
Board to consider keeping the Salt Creek Golf Course open and giving Mr.
Pantoja an opportunity to take over the lease.
Mr. Tyler Torano of Chula Vista indicated that he has been playing golf since he
was eight (8) years old and while growing up he had an opportunity to play at the
Salt Creek Golf Course. He stated that he is fortunate enough to call himself a
professional golfer and he had the privilege of representing San Diego at the
Farmers Insurance Open this year. He stated that the Salt Creek Golf Course
means so much to the high school athletic program and community and he
hoped that the Board would consider keeping the golf course open.
Mr. Julio Cesar Pantoja of San Diego indicated he grew up in Chula Vista and he
asked that the Board consider what the Salt Creek Golf Course provides to the
entire County. He asked that the Board consider looking at the options of what
this course could be. He and his brother have looked at how to revamp the
course to bring it up to a world class golf course and market the golf course.
Director Croucher indicated that the District is just the lease holder and it was a
business decision by the lessee to close the Salt Creek Golf Course. There are
a lot of golf courses in the District’s service area and the District will be looking at
all options and will collaborate with other agencies and the City of Chula Vista.
Mr. Bob Barrett of El Cajon indicated that he is the golf team’s coach at Eastlake
HS. He stated that the Salt Creek Golf Course is an asset to the community and
the course is highly used by the community members. He asked that the Board
look at all its options and hope that they would reconsider closing the golf course.
5
The following persons wished to advise that they opposed the closing of the Salt
Creek Golf Course, but did not wish to speak: Mr. Manny Ortiz, Mr. Jerome
David, Mr. Fidel Arce and Mr. Edward Fletcher.
The board thanked the speakers for attending today’s meeting and indicated that
the golf course issue will be agendized for a future meeting and that they should
watch the meeting postings on the District’s website so they may come back for
the discussion.

will be unable to attend the District’s board meeting on that day. Director
Thompson indicated that he would not be able to attend the July board meeting.
There were no changes to the board meeting calendar.
INFORMATIONAL ITEM
10. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON THE
FOLLOWING AGENDA ITEMS:
a) UPDATE ON THE CHANGES TO THE AUTOMATED METER READING
CHANGE OUT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM APPROVED BY
THE BOARD IN 2017
Customer Service Manager Andrea Carey provided an update on the District’s
Automated Meter Reading change out Capital Improvement Program which was
approved by the board in 2017. Please reference the Committee Action notes
(Attachment A) attached to the staff report for the details of Ms. Carey’s report.
In response to an inquiry from Director Gastelum, Ms. Carey indicated that the
Allegro Meters are digital register meters. They will “sleep” until a receiver is in
the area to “wake them up” to read their water use data. The 3G meters transmit
usage data every 11 seconds even if there is no transponder in the area to pick-
up the information.
b) PRESENTATION ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE COST BENEFIT OF
KEEPING THE RALPH W. CHAPMAN WATER RECYCLING FACILITY
TREATMENT PLANT OPEN, COMPARED TO CLOSING THE PLANT
AND SENDING ALL SEWER FLOWS TO SAN DIEGO METROPOLITAN
WASTEWATER
Finance Manager Rita Bell presented the analysis of the cost benefit of keeping
the Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility (RWCWRF) treatment plant
open, compared to closing the plant and sending all sewer flows to San Diego
Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro). Please reference the Committee Action notes
(Attachment A) attached to the staff report for the details of Ms. Bell’s report.
Director Thompson indicated that the District’s Finance and Administration
Committee discussed that the District has conferred with the County of San
7
Diego on possible ways to make sewer services more cost effective and, thus
far, there has not been a fruitful outcome to our discussions. The District will
continue to discuss this issue with the County periodically.
c) UPDATE ON SENATE BILL 229, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS NEW
LEGISLATION, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018
Engineering Manager Dan Martin provided an update to the board on new
legislation under SB 229, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), which became
effective January 1, 2018. Please reference the Committee Action notes
(Attachment A) attached to the staff report for the details of Mr. Martin’s report.
Director Thompson noted that SB 229 is a small piece of legislators’ response to
the shortage of rental housing units which is impacting our economy and making
us less competitive nationally. The legislature is trying to restrict agency fees
related to ADU’s and the District needs to assure that its ratepayers are not
affected to the extent it has the ability to. Director Thompson asked staff to
review the District’s ability to possibly provide a payment plan for capacity fees
the District charges for the addition of an ADU on an existing customer’s
property. Staff indicated that they would review the District’s ability to do so.
Director Croucher indicated that when a homeowner remodels a home that was
built before fire sprinklers were required, the remodel triggers the requirement
that the homeowner update and install fire sprinklers. SB 229 allows ADU’s to be
built without fire sprinklers and cautioned the District in assisting homeowners
with a payment plan at the cost of public safety. He indicated if the homeowner
can afford to finance their ADU that is fine, but does the District really want to be
the financier of customers ADUs.
Mr. Bob Bakayou of El Cajon requested to speak on this item. He indicated that
he had also spoken on this issue at the District’s special board meeting held on
December 11, 2017. He stated that he is currently building an ADU on his
property which is in the planning stages. He indicated that he is replacing 2500
square feet of landscaping on his property with an ADU and he did not feel that
he will be placing additional burden on the system, but rather would likely be
decreasing the amount of water he is using. He stated that the intent of the laws
is to make it easier to build ADU’s and he feels the District’s fees are excessive
and is not proportionate to the change in water use his ADU would put on the
system.
In response to an inquiry from Director Croucher, Engineering Manager Dan
Martin indicated that the property’s existing home is 2,871 square feet, the ADU
will be 1,198 square feet and the fixture count on the property will increase from
36 to 53. The ADU being proposed would not only require a meter size upgrade,
but the property owner will also be adding sewer services to his property. Mr.
Martin stated that this particular ADU is not ministerially approved and is treated
similar to a developer requesting a meter for a 53 fixture unit which would require
a 1” meter. He indicated that Senate Bill 229 does not impact the District’s
8
business practice and that Mr. Bakayou’s existing meter was not configured to
include landscape use.
In response to an inquiry from Director Gastelum, it was indicated that the District
can check the difference in water use before and after the ADU is built.
d) PIPELINE NEWSLETTER OUTLOOK (OTERO)
The board noted receipt of the report and would forego a presentation as the
item was reviewed in detail in committee.
e) SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEB ANALYTICS UPDATE (OTERO)
The board noted receipt of the report and would forego a presentation as the
item was reviewed in detail in committee.

the relationship between the two agencies and they plan to meet again on April
23.
President Smith added that CWA’s CalPERS unfunded liability is 68% funded
and Otay WD’s is 59% funded. He stated that the agencies are collaborating on
possible solutions to increase the funding of the liability up to 75% over a period
of 15 to 20 years. He noted that the “Water Fix” has been in the news and MWD
has indicated that they plan on supporting the one tunnel option. The
recommendation will be presented to MWD’s board this month and if approved,
the cost for the tunnel will be funded by MWD’s member agencies. He lastly

13. DIRECTORS' REPORTS/REQUESTS
9
Director Thompson reported that he will be participating in the San Diego
Regional Chamber’s 2018 Binational Delegation trip to Mexico City. He stated
that he will be paying particular attention to infrastructure discussions and
monitoring the dialogue regarding desalination versus water reuse.
Director Croucher inquired if there was any progress on the video for customers
regarding how water rates are developed/billed. Communications Officer Tenille
Otero indicated that it is on the District’s list of videos to develop and staff is
currently working on a video concerning the impact of grease on the sewer
system. General Manager Watton indicated in response to another inquiry from
Director Croucher that the water fill stations are on order and he is not certain if
staff has ordered water bottles for Otay employees for the water fill stations as of
yet. The new water fill stations will replace the current water fountains
throughout the administration and operations buildings.
Director Gastelum reported that he attended the Annual WaterNow Alliance
Summit held at the University of Utah. He indicated that he heard an interesting
presentation on how Moulton Niguel Water District has been working with Netflix,
YouTube, etc. to utilize their predictive modeling tools and analytics to improve
the forecasting of water use and manage peak usage to avoid the cost of building
unneeded infrastructure. He stated that the presentation was very interesting
and is an example of how the private and public sectors can work together to
improve services.
Director Robak indicated that he felt that social media is a great tool in
disseminating information to the public.
14. PRESIDENT’S REPORT
President Smith indicated that he had an opportunity to attend the WateReuse
Annual Conference. He stated that the City of San Diego and Padre Dam MWD
are looking at reservoir augmentation and the regulations for reservoir
augmentation have been revised. The City will be the first to utilize the new
regulations in California. He stated the City also reviewed in 2016 whether direct
potable reuse was feasible and they determined that it is and the regulatory
agencies must determine regulations for direct potable reuse in order to make it
feasible by December 31, 2023. He indicated that, thus, direct potable reuse
may become a reality in San Diego in approximately five (5) years. He stated
that it was noted at the conference, that direct potable reuse is already being
done by northern California agencies.
Following the President’s Report, General Manager Watton presented a video on

Liner Replacement Project (Project) in an amount not-to-exceed
$1,997,000.40.
ANALYSIS:
The 16 million gallon 711-3 Reservoir was originally constructed with
its existing reinforced polypropylene (RPP) floating cover and liner
in 2002. In the last few years, the floating cover has been
repeatedly repaired to maintain the integrity of the cover material.
Dive videos taken recently show leaks and sunlight penetrating the
floating cover in many places. The existing cover material typically
has a life expectancy of 20 years. It is no longer cost effective to
continue to repair the existing cover that has reached the end of its
life expectancy. The District has typically replaced polypropylene
covers on other reservoirs at a frequency of approximately 15 years,
which is commensurate with the age of the existing 711-3 Reservoir
existing cover and liner material.
Staff researched the warranty provided by Gundle/SLT Environmental
(GSE Environmental), who acquired the manufacturer of the RPP
material, Serrot International, Inc., on or about February 4, 2002.
GSE Environmental and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in 2014. The warranty provides that GSE Environmental will replace
material only on a prorated basis, if the material fails before the
20 year warranty. The warranty doesn’t include freight charges or
the cost of the labor to make the repairs. Staff calculated and
determined that this would be worth around $40,000 worth of material
to make repairs. Staff attempted to contact GSE Environmental, but
have been unsuccessful. Staff checked with District’s legal counsel
and are still evaluating options.
District staff performed a life cycle cost analysis for the
replacement of the liner and cover with various combinations of
geomembrane materials and concluded that the longer lasting
reinforced chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) was the best
alternative. The analysis considered replacement frequencies of
materials with dissimilar warranties. The CSPE geomembrane will have
a 30 year warranty. The warranty will not be prorated for the first
15 years, and then prorated for years 16 through 30.
Staff contacted the sole CSPE manufacturer in the United States
(Burke Environmental Products) and the two installation contractors
that are certified to install the CSPE material supplied by Burke
Environmental Products prior to the bid process to encourage them to
submit a bid for the Project. Floating cover installation work is
very specialized.

On May 1, 2018, the Project was formally advertised for bid using
BidSync, an online bid solicitation website. The Project was also
advertised in the Daily Transcript and the District’s website.
BidSync provided electronic distribution of the Bid Documents,
including specifications, plans, and addendums. A Pre-Bid Meeting
was held on May 9, 2018, which was attended by both Layfield and
Raven Industries, Inc. Two (2) addenda were sent out to all bidders
and plan houses to address questions and clarifications to the
contract documents during the bidding period. Staff prepared the
contract documents in-house.
Bids were publicly opened on May 31, 2018, and the bid analysis was
completed with the following results:
CONTRACTOR TOTAL BID AMOUNT
1 Layfield (Spring Valley, CA) $1,997,000.40
2 Raven Industries, Inc. (Sioux Falls, SD) $2,791,600.00
The Engineer’s Estimate was $1,750,000 when the Project was initially
advertised; however, District staff added scope via addendum
including a new under-liner geotextile and minor subgrade preparation
estimated at $75,000.
A new under-liner geotextile and minor subgrade preparation was added
during the bid phase based on recommendations by Layfield, Raven, and
the District’s 870-2 Pump Station/Roll Reservoir construction
management/inspection consultant (Michael Baker). The under-liner
geotextile was successfully salvaged on two previous District
floating cover/liner replacement projects (Patzig and Pond 4). The
under-liner geotextile was replaced at the Roll Reservoir due to the
substantial underground work beneath and through the earthen
embankment associated with the 870-2 Pump Station project. Replacing
the geotextile at the Roll Reservoir was proven beneficial to inspect
the subgrade and provide a sound foundation for the long-lasting CSPE
liner material.
A review of the bids was performed by District staff for conformance
with the contract requirements and determined that Layfield was the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Layfield holds a Class A,
General Engineering, Contractor’s License in the State of California,
which meets the contract document’s requirements, and is valid
through May 31, 2020. An internet background search of the company
was performed and revealed no outstanding issues. The references
indicated that Layfield is a well-established and well recognized
company, as well as a recognized leader for development of the
“mechanically tensioned” style cover that is currently in use at the
711-3 Reservoir. Layfield acquired the business assets of CW Neal
Corporation (CW Neal) in April 2004. CW Neal installed the existing
4
711-3 Reservoir floating cover in 2002. Layfield also installed the
District’s three (3) most recent floating cover/liner projects,
including 624-1 Patzig (2013), 927-1R Pond 4 (2014), and 570-1 Roll
(2018).
Staff verified that the bid bond provided by Layfield is valid.
Staff will also verify that Layfield’s Performance Bond and Labor and
Materials Bond are valid prior to execution of the contract.

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee
(Committee) reviewed this item at a meeting held on June 25, 2018,
and the following comments were made:
Staff reviewed the staff report with the Committee that included
a recommendation to the Board, information on the project’s
analysis, and selection process. Results of the selection
process is provided on page 3 of the staff report.
It was noted in the staff report that staff researched the
warranty for the existing material and estimates the value of
the remaining warranty material to be worth around $40,000.
Staff has attempted to contact GSE Environmental, the current
warranty provider, but has been unsuccessful. Staff has
reviewed this with the District’s legal counsel and options to
pursue the warranty are being evaluated.
The Committee inquired about staff’s attempts to reach out to
GSE Environmental regarding the project’s warranty. Staff
stated that they tried contacting the company by phone, emails
and through the company’s website. The next step is to have
legal counsel reach out to the company regarding this matter.
In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated that
they have adjusted the cost estimates for CIP projects to
anticipate the aggressive bidding climates.
The Committee discussed the feasibility of converting the
reservoir into a raw water reservoir and implementing a
treatment facility in lieu of constructing the covered reservoir
to store treated water. Staff stated that it would not be
feasible due to site constraints and ongoing operational costs
that would not be cost effective.
Following the discussion, the Committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation of this item to the full board on the
consent calendar.

SUBJECT: Approve Caltrans Utility Agreement No. 33718 for SR-11 Utility
Relocations on Enrico Fermi Drive and Alta Road
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
authorize the General Manager to execute Caltrans Utility Agreement
No. 33718 for SR-11 Utility Relocations on Enrico Fermi Drive and
Alta Road (see attached Exhibit A for Project location, and Exhibit B
for Utility Agreement).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to execute
Caltrans Utility Agreement No. 33718 for relocation of District
facilities in conflict with SR-11 at Enrico Fermi Drive and Alta
Road.
2
ANALYSIS:
The District and Caltrans completed the first two rounds of
relocations (Caltrans Utility Agreement Numbers 33592 and 33622) in
FY 2016, including relocation of 10-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch
potable water mains in the vicinity of Sanyo Avenue and a single 6-
inch blow off at the intersection of SR 125 and Otay Mesa Road.
In January 2017, District and Caltrans staff began planning the
relocations of the District’s 12-inch PVC distribution main in Enrico
Fermi Drive and 24-inch and 16-inch ACP transmission mains in Alta
Road. The District’s facilities will be constructed in new bridges
that will be built over the freeway extension to the border.
Responding to a request from Caltrans, staff submitted draft claim
letters dated April 24, 2018 related to the utility conflicts. The
District has prior and superior rights at each crossing. The
District received a Notice to Owner directing the District to
relocate conflicting utilities on May 30, 2018.
The District’s As-Needed Engineering Design Consultant (NV5) designed
the bid documents in Caltrans’ format.
The estimated construction cost for the relocated pipelines and
appurtenances is $2,806,689. The District’s relocations will be
constructed through a construction contract administered by Caltrans
as an integral part of Caltrans’ freeway construction project.
Caltrans will pay the contractor directly. Consequently, the
attached utility agreement does not include construction costs.
The total planning, design, inspection, and closeout costs to be
incurred by the District are estimated at $848,890. The calculated
depreciation cost for all existing pipelines and appurtenances is
$46,723.
The total cost that Caltrans will reimburse the District at
completion of the construction work is estimated at $802,167.
Consistent with the conditions of all other utility agreements
between the District and Caltrans, actual costs may not exceed 125
percent of the estimated cost in the agreement without a revised
amendment being executed.
Caltrans anticipates that the above-described relocations will be
advertised for bid in the fall of 2018. Caltrans intends to start
construction in the fall of 2019.
3
An additional Utility Agreement(s) will be presented to the Board as
SR-11 progresses to a future Port of Entry facility and the U.S.
border with Mexico. A future bridge crossing is anticipated at
Siempre Viva Road.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The total budget for CIP P2453, as approved in the FY 2019 budget, is
$4,000,000. Total expenditures, plus outstanding commitments and
forecast, including this agreement, are $2,442,471. See Attachment B
for budget detail.
Based on a review of the financial budget, the Project Manager
anticipates that the budget for CIP P2453 is sufficient to support
the Project.
The Finance Department has determined that, under the current rate
model, 100% of the funding will be available from the Replacement
Fund.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To provide
high value water and wastewater services to the customers of the Otay
Water District, in a professional, effective and efficient manner”
and the General Manager’s Vision, "A District that is at the
forefront in innovations to provide water services at affordable
rates, with a reputation for outstanding customer service."

allows for adjustments in an amount up to 125% without an
amendment. The agreement also allows for amendments if the
actual cost exceeds 125%.
The Committee inquired if the project area has additional needs
that require the District to collaborate with any other utility
agencies besides Caltrans. Staff stated that none are known at
this time.
In response to a question from the Committee, staff indicated
that previous agreements and the current agreement allows for
adjustments that exceeds 25% of the agreement amount without an
amendment.

RW 13-5 (REV 12/2016)
Page 2 of4
I UTILITY AG REEMENT NO. 33718
Use of out-of-state personnel (or personnel requiring lodging and meal per diem expenses) will not be allowed without
prior written authorization by State's representative. Requests for such authorization must be contained in OWNER's
estimate of actual and necessary relocation costs. Accounting Form FA 1301 is to be completed and submitted for all
non-State personnel travel per diem. OWNER shall include an explanation why local employee or contract labor is not
considered adequate for the relocation work proposed . Per Diem expenses shall not exceed the per diem expense
amounts allowed under the State's Department of Personnel Administration travel expense guidelines.
IV. PAYMENT FOR WORK
The STATE shall pay its share of the actual and necessary cost of the herein described work within 45 days after
receipt of OWNER's itemized bill, signed by a responsible official of OWNER's organization and prepared on
OWNER's letterhead, compiled on the basis of the actual and necessary cost and expense. The OWNER shall
maintain records of the actual costs incurred and charged or allocated to the project in accordance with recognized
accounting principles. The OWNER's billing cost to STATE is $802 ,167.00.
It is understood and agreed that the STATE will not pay for any betterment or increase in capacity of OWNER's
facilities in the new location and that OWNER shall give credit to the STATE for the accrued depreciation of the
replaced facilities and for the salvage value of any material or parts salvaged and retained or sold by OWNER.
Not more frequently than once a month, but at least quarterly, OWNER will prepare and submit progress bills for costs
incurred not to exceed OWNER's recorded costs as of the billing date less estimated credits applicable to completed
work. Payment of progress bills not to exceed the amount of this Agreement may be made under the terms of this
Agreement. Payment of progress bills which exceed the amount of this Agreement may be made after receipt and
approval by STATE of documentation supporting the cost increase and after an Amendment to this Agreement has
been executed by the parties to this Agreement.
The OWNER shall submit a final bill to the STATE within 360 days after the completion of the work described in
Section I above. If the STATE has not received a final bill within 360 days after notification of completion of OWNER's
work described in Section I of this Agreement, and STATE has delivered to OWNER fully executed Director's Deeds,
Consents to Common Use or Joint Use Agreements, if required for OWNER's facilities, STATE will provide written
notification to OWNER of its intent to close its file within 30 days and OWNER hereby acknowledges, to the extent
allowed by law, that all remaining costs will be deemed to have been abandoned. If the STATE processes a final bill
for payment more than 360 days after notification of completion of OWNER's work, payment of the late bill may be
subject to allocation and/or approval by the California Transportation Commission.
The final billing shall be in the form of an itemized statement of the total costs charged to the project, less the credits
provided for in this Agreement, and less any amounts covered by progress billings. However, the STATE shall not pay
final bills which exceed the estimated cost of this Agreement without documentation of the reason for the increase of
said cost from the OWNER and approval of documentation by STATE. Except, if the final bill exceeds the OWNER's
estimated costs solely as the result of a Revised Notice to Owner as provided for in Section I, a copy of said Revised
Notice to Owner shall suffice as documentation . In either case, payment of the amount over the estimated cost of this
Agreement may be subject to allocation and/or approval by the California Transportation Commission.
In any event if the final bill exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of this Agreement, an Amended Agreement shall be
executed by the parties to this Agreement prior to the payment of the OWNER'S final bill. Any and all increases in
costs that are the direct result of deviations from the work described in Section I of this Agreement shall have the prior
concurrence of STATE.

SUBJECT: Reject Construction Bid for the Pipeline Cathodic Protection
Improvements – Phase II Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
reject a bid for the construction of the Pipeline Cathodic Protection
Improvements – Phase II Project (see Exhibit A for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to reject a bid
for the construction of the Pipeline Cathodic Protection Improvements
- Phase II Project (Project) and to rebid the Project.
ANALYSIS:
The District’s Cathodic Protection (CP) Program (Program) was
implemented over a decade ago to provide the long-term benefit of
preserving the life expectancy of metallic pipeline and reservoir
facilities and reducing the risk of costly failures. A portion of
the Program includes annual data collection from roughly 1,000
2
pipeline cathodic test stations. The effort results in a list of
recommendations for repairs to existing cathodic protection systems
such as anode replacement, cathodic test station repairs, retrofit/
repair of isolation kits, and repair of existing impressed current
systems and anode beds.
The first phase of Pipeline CP Improvements was completed on the
District’s 1980 era RWCWRF 14-inch force main in 2017. A portion of
the second phase was bid and awarded with the District’s 870-2 Pump
Station project for work in vaults immediately adjacent to the Roll
Reservoir.
The work associated with this construction bid for the Project is for
the replacement and repairs of existing cathodic protection systems
on five (5) pipelines in environmentally sensitive areas. This
includes the District's existing 2000 era Interconnect Pipelines
between the Central Area and Otay Mesa, 1998 era pipeline along
Proctor Valley Road, 1987 era pipelines in the Sweetwater River
Bridge at Campo Road, 2004 era pipeline crossing Salt Creek, and 1981
era pipeline crossing the Sweetwater River. Each pipe system
includes several sites which require three (3) agency permits from
Caltrans, City of Chula Vista, and County of San Diego. Overall, the
work includes approximately eleven (11) phases of traffic control and
approximately twenty (20) sites total.
On April 19, 2018, the Project was formally advertised for bid using
BidSync, an online bid solicitation website. The Project was also
advertised in the Daily Transcript and the District’s website.
BidSync provided electronic distribution of the Bid Documents,
including specifications, plans, and addendums. A Pre-Bid Meeting
was held on April 26, 2018, which was attended by a single corrosion
contractor (Corrpro). Three (3) addenda were sent out to all bidders
and plan houses to address questions and clarifications to the
contract documents during the bidding period. The District’s As-
Needed Corrosion Engineer (RFYeager), the District’s As-Needed
Traffic Engineer (Rick Engineering), and District staff jointly
prepared the bid documents.
Specialty corrosion contractors, Corrpro and Farwest, both expressed
interest bidding this Project as prime before and during the bid
phase. Ultimately, Corrpro decided not to bid the Project as prime a
few days before the original bid opening. Consequently, District
staff extended the bid date two (2) weeks to allow more time to
encourage general contractors to submit bids.
Despite District staff’s outreach effort by e-mail to twenty-two (22)
general contractors and phone calls with three (3) specialty
3
corrosion contractors/consultants four to five (4-5) weeks before the
bid opening, only a single bid was received and publicly opened on
May 23, 2018. The table below provides the bid result.
CONTRACTOR TOTAL BID AMOUNT
1 M-Rae Engineering, Inc (Descanso, CA) $347,000.00
The Engineer’s Estimate was $350,000.
Because only one (1) bid was received, staff contacted several
general contractors to inquire as to why they did not bid the
Project. A variety of reasons were given and they are shown in the
table below:
CONTRACTOR REASON
1 Basile Construction
Too busy. Can be selective with bids
because there are more bids to choose
from compared to capacity to bid
projects.
2 Bert W. Salas, Inc. Too busy.
3 Charles King Company Too busy.
4 Fordyce Too busy.
5 Piperin
Attempted to bid Project, but did not
receive corrosion specialty subcontract
bid until too late.
After the bid opening, three (3) specialty corrosion subcontractors
that prepared subcontract bids (Corrpro, Farwest, and California
Corrosion Specialists) all suggested that general contractors may
have found it difficult to dedicate the resources to this bid given
the large number of sites (approximately 20 sites total). Staff
intends to combine this Project with another pipeline project, which
may draw more interest.
Therefore, staff recommends rejecting the bid and rebidding the
project with a larger pipeline project to generate more interest.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
None.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To provide
high value water and wastewater services to the customers of the Otay
Water District, in a professional, effective and efficient manner”
4
and the General Manager’s Vision, "A District that is at the
forefront in innovations to provide water services at affordable
rates, with a reputation for outstanding customer service."
LEGAL IMPACT:

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee
(Committee) reviewed this item at a meeting held on June 25, 2018,
and the following comments were made:
Staff reviewed the staff report with the Committee.
It was noted that despite District staffs’ outreach effort by
email to twenty two (22) general contractors and phone calls
with three (3) specialty corrosion contractors/consultants four
to five weeks before the bid opening, only a single bid was
received. Page 3 of the staff report provides a variety of
reasons as to why other contractors did not submit a bid.
In response to a question from the Committee, staff stated that
the Committee can recommended that the District award the
contract to the only bidder, M-Rae Engineering, Inc. (M-Rae).
The Committee commented that M-Rae submitted a bid in the amount
of $347,000.00, which was lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of
$350,000. The Committee is concerned that if the bid is
rejected, it may come back at a higher bid than the current
Engineer’s Estimate.
Staff indicated that their recommendation to reject all bids is
not firm.
The Committee inquired about M-Rae’s background. Staff stated
that they were recently awarded a project with the District and
no outstanding issues were noted with respect to work performed
on the reference project.
The Committee believes that rejecting staff’s recommendation and
awarding the contract to M-Rae would be more cost effective to
both the District and contractor.
Following the discussion, the Committee rejected staff’s
recommendation and authorized the General Manager to award a
Construction Contract to M-Rae Engineering, Inc. for the Pipeline
Cathodic Protection Replacement Program Phase II Project for an
amount not-to-exceed $347,000.00 and present this item to the full
board on the consent calendar.

SUBJECT: Reject all Construction Bids for the Valve Replacement Program
– Phase I Project
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors (Board)
reject all bids for the construction of the Valve Replacement Program
– Phase I Project (see Exhibit A for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to reject all
bids for the construction of the Valve Replacement Program – Phase I
Project (Project).
ANALYSIS:
The District’s distribution system has over 22,000 valves throughout
its service area. Through the Valve Exercise Program, the Operations
staff periodically “exercises” or closes then opens valves to ensure
they are functional and mechanically sound. Valves that are
2
inoperable or do not function properly are logged and scheduled for
repair. In some cases, inoperable valves are in areas that would
require putting a large number of businesses and/or customers out of
service. Performing these repairs with District forces could tie up
the Construction staff for multiple days, and could delay response
time should an emergency occur.
The Valve Replacement Project was created to have contractors perform
the construction that would require extended time to repairs to
problem valves. Phase I was a pilot program to test the shutdown
coordination and the public outreach during the construction. This
would serve as a lessons learned, and the experience would help fine
tune future more larger and extensive valve repair projects. Phase I
consisted of replacing two (2) hydrant valves on Doubletree Road in
Spring Valley.
Staff developed contract documents and the Project was advertised for
bid on May 2, 2018 on the District’s website and several other
publications including the San Diego Daily Transcript. Bidsync also
provided electronic distribution of the bid documents, including
plans, specifications, and addendums. District staff reached out to
eighteen (18) general contractors via e-mail notifying them of the
Project. A Pre-Bid Meeting was held on May 15, 2018, which one
contractor, RGC General Engineering, attended. One (1) addendum was
sent out to all bidders and plan houses to address questions and
clarifications to the contract documents during the bidding period.
Bids were publicly opened on May 24, 2018, with the following
results:
CONTRACTOR TOTAL BID AMOUNT
1 Bunker Construction, Inc., dba Bunker Engineering
Indio, CA $76,000.00
2 Blue Pacific Engineering & Construction
San Dieqo, CA $76,000.00
3 RGC General Engineering, Inc.
Chula Vista, CA $78,788.00
4 Piperin Corporation
Escondido, CA $97,000.00
The Engineer’s Estimate is $29,000.
Two contractors submitted bid amounts that were the same and happened
to be the lowest bid. The low bid amount is 2.5 times higher than
the engineer’s estimate. Staff believes that the Project was too
small to get reasonable interest and pricing, and from outreach done
on other projects, contractors are overwhelmed with their current
workload being done locally. Staff intends to combine this Project
3
with another larger pipeline replacement project, which may draw more
interest and provide the District with better value.
Therefore, staff recommends rejecting all bids, and rebidding the
Project with a future pipeline replacement project.

SUBJECT: Approve the Transfer $30.0 Million of Potable Reserves to
CalPERS and the Transfer $1.8 Million of Sewer Reserves to
CalPERS. Approve the Sale of Currently Held Investments, as
Needed, to Transfer These Funds
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District) Board of Directors:
1. Approve the transfer $30.0 million of potable reserves to
CalPERS,
2. Approve the transfer $1.8 million of sewer reserves to CalPERS,
3. Approve the sale of currently held investments, as needed, to
transfers these funds.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board approval for the transfer $30.0 million of potable
reserves to CalPERS and the transfer $1.8 million of sewer reserves
to CalPERS to reduce the District’s unfunded pension liability.
ANALYSIS:
On May 2 and May 21, 2018, Staff presented informational items
regarding an option for providing an advance funding to CalPERS,
which will reduce the District’s unfunded actuarial liability (UAL)
and provide a cashflow benefit to the District. Based on the
analysis performed by the District’s Financial Advisor, Suzanne
Harrell, presented to the Board on May 21, 2018 the District expects
to achieve a cumulative cashflow savings of $16.4 million over 25
years.
As of June 30, 2018, the District is projected to have a UAL of $51.3
million, which is charged interest at 7.0%, and is approximately 62%
funded. The advance payment will reduce the high interest UAL cost
and will result in the savings communicated in the previous
paragraph. After the advance payment the UAL will be approximately
$19.5 million and approximately 85% funded.
The UAL is comprised of several layers related to CalPERS actuarial
assumptions differing from actual results and changes in actuarial
assumptions. The balance of the UAL carries is charged interest at a
rate of 7.0%, which is the District’s highest cost debt. The annual
UAL payment charged by CalPERS represents the annual amortization of
these tiers and a prepayment will result in the elimination of
defined tiers and a reduction in the annual UAL payment. As part of
the advance funding the District is able to define which layers of
the UAL it would like to pay down. The following table summarizes
the UAL tier balance as of June 30, 2016, the application of the
$31.8 million advance funding, and the balance remaining after the
advance funding.
Tiers were selected based on maximizing the savings and avoiding the
creation of a stranded asset. The purpose of not backloading the
remaining UAL obligation is to provide a safeguard for additional
tiers that CalPERS will add in the future. A stranded asset is
created when a negative UAL tier, which reduces the UAL, has no
offsetting negative tier, which increases the UAL. A negative tier
cannot be used to offset the pensions normal cost, so if the negative
tier has no offsetting positive tier the asset is stranded until
future positive tiers are created. The tiers selected maximize the
cashflow benefit, reduce the District interest costs and do not
result in a stranded asset.
The District will have approximately $15 million of reserves that can
be transferred to CalPERS in July. The remaining amounts would need
to be funded through the sale or maturity of investments. Due to
rising interest rates and currently held investments yielding lower
rates than the currently available investments, the sale of the
District’s investments prior to maturity would likely result in an
investment loss. The District has identified investments to sell
based on minimizing this loss. The estimated loss as of June 6, 2018
would be $75,000. By selling these investments and reinvesting the
funds with CalPERS, the funds will effectively earn 7.0%. The
District will realize a greater interest rate and will realize more
earnings than were lost on the sale.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action would generate a cashflow savings of approximately $16.4
million over the next 25 years, including an average savings of $1.3
million per year from FY 2020 to FY 2025.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The District ensures its continued financial health through long-term
financial planning and debt planning.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance and Administration Committee (Committee) reviewed
this item at a meeting held on June 19, 2018 and the following
comments were made:
Staff is requesting that the board approve the transfer of $30
million of potable reserves to CalPERS; approve the transfer
of $1.8 million of sewer reserves to CalPERS; and approve the
sale of currently held investments, as needed, to transfer
these funds.
Staff reviewed information in the staff report.
It was noted that with the advanced funding of CalPERS in the
amount of $31.8 million, the District will increase its
funding level from 62% to 85% and will realize $16.4 million
in savings over 25 years.
The Committee suggested that staff develop a report that
tracks the District’s actual savings over the 25 years. Staff
indicated that such a report can be developed.
The Committee also requested that the savings realized by this
action be a repeated message in public communications.
Upon completion of the discussion, the committee supported
staffs’ recommendation and presentation to the full board on the
consent calendar.

Financing Authority By-Laws Authorizing the Otay Water
District Financing Authority to Hold Regular Meetings on Each
Date That is a Regular Meeting Date of the Board of Directors
of the Otay Water District
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt Resolution No. 2018-01 to amend the Otay Water
District Financing Authority by-laws authorizing the Otay Water
District Financing Authority to hold regular meetings on each date
that is a regular meeting date of the Board of Directors of the Otay
Water District.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
None.
PURPOSE:
To present for the Board’s consideration the adoption of Resolution
No. 2018-01 to amend the Otay Water District Financing Authority By-
Laws authorizing the Otay Water District Financing Authority to hold
regular meetings on each date that is a regular meeting date of the
Board of Directors of the Otay Water District.
ANALYSIS:
At the May 2 and May 21, 2018 Board meetings staff presented items
proposing to the Board that the District’s water side issue
approximately $30 million of debt to fund the District’s eligible CIP
projects. Based on feedback from the Board, staff has proceeded with
the process to engage the financing team in June, and update documents
associated with issuing debt. Based on the current timeline, staff
anticipates requesting approval from the Board authorizing the General
Manager to issue debt in September or October of 2018.
The proposed debt would be issued by the Otay Water District Financing
Authority (the Authority) and must be approved at an Authority regular
board meeting. The Authority’s current by-laws define January and March
as the only months the Authority can hold regular meetings and must be
updated to meet the current timeline for issuing debt.
The requested changes will provide the ability for the Authority to
hold a regular meeting that meets the timeframe of the proposed debt
issuance and prevent undo delays in future debt issuances.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The District ensures its continued financial health through long-term
financial planning and debt planning.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

District Financing Authority By-Laws Authorizing the Otay

Directors of the Otay Water District
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance and Administration Committee (Committee) reviewed
this item at a meeting held on June 19, 2018 and the following
comments were made:
Staff is requesting that the board adopt Resolution No. 2018-
01 to amend the Otay Water District Financing Authority by-
laws authorizing the Otay Water District Financing Authority
to hold regular meetings on each date that is a regular
meeting date of the Board of Directors of the Otay Water
District.
Staff reviewed information in the staff report.
Staff is planning to request that the OWD Financing Authority
authorize a new debt issuance for water between September and
October of 2018. By State law, the OWD Financing Authority’s
action to approve debt issuances must occur at a regular board
meeting. The Financing Authority’s current bylaws define
January and March as the only months the Authority holds
regular board meetings. To allow the Authority to comply with
State law, meet the current timeline for the proposed debt
issuance, and to prevent delays for future issuances, staff is
requesting that the board authorize the OWD Financing
Authority to hold regular meetings on each date that a regular
meeting of the Otay Water District Board of Directors is held
by adlpting Resolution No. 2018-01.
Upon completion of the discussion, the committee supported
staffs’ recommendation and presentation to the full board on the
consent calendar.

The District operates one of the largest recycled water
distribution systems in San Diego County and will supply
approximately 3,660 acre-feet of recycled water to 719 customers
in Fiscal Year 2018. The District’s Ralph W. Chapman Water
Recycling Facility (RWCWRF) produces on average 1,000 acre-feet
per year (AFY) of recycled water with the balance purchased from
the City’s SBWRP. The District will be required to pay for
5,029 AFY even though the District expects to take only 2,660
AFY from the SBWRP. The District is the single largest user of
recycled water buying about 99% of the recycled water the City
has available for sale from the SBWRP.
RWCWRF AND THE CURRENT COST OF RECYCLED WATER
On April 4, 2018, staff from the District’s Finance Department
presented to the Board an analysis of sewer and recycled water
cost on Fiscal Year 2016’s actual cost, to determine the cost
benefit of whether the District should keep the RWCWRF plant
open (status quo) or to shut down the plant and send 100% of the
flow through the County to Metro for treatment. Based on this
analysis, the cost of recycled water produced at the District’s
RWCWRF is $982.47 per AF. The cost to purchase recycled water
from the SBWRP at the current rate is $756 per AF, but when the
meter fee and the take-or-pay contractual amount is included,
the effective rate is $1,396.87 per AF.
The April 4, 2018 analysis also reveals that for sewer customers
it is far more cost effective to treat sewage at the RWCWRF as
the savings is $592,284. For recycled customers it is almost
cost neutral due to the fixed nature of the contract to purchase
water from the City of San Diego. It should be noted that this
is a snapshot of the current status and does not consider future
events.
In summary, the analysis showed that it is cost effective to
have the RWCWRF running at full capacity as opposed to shutting
down the treatment plant and sending flows to San Diego
Metropolitan Wastewater (Metro) system.
ALTERNATIVE SUPPLY STUDIES
The 2018-2022 Strategic Plan will consider various aspects of
the future of sewer and recycled water on a short-term and long-
term basis. The analysis presented in this staff report is
short-term and does not consider future events, such as what the
cost of the City’s Pure Water will do to the Metro costs or how
Metro may propose changes to their rate structure.
Some options that will be considered in the strategic plan are
to perform an analysis to have the RWCWRF plant only treat
3
sewage on a seasonal basis, or have the County of San Diego take
over the collection system and lease out the plant.
Additionally, the strategic plan will look at the future of
recycled water such as receiving supply from the International
Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) should the City not renew
the contract for recycled water at SBWRP. A variation of the
study could have additional wastewater diverted to the SBWRP
from IBWC’s facility to supplement flows to meet 100% of the
District’s summer peak day demands.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
No fiscal impact as this is an informational item only.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District’s Mission statement, “To
provide high value water and wastewater services to the
customers of the Otay Water District in a professional,
effective, and efficient manner” and the General Manager’s
Vision, “A District that is at the forefront in innovations to
provide water services at affordable rates, with a reputation

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources Committee
(Committee) reviewed this item at a meeting held on June 25,
2018 and the following comments were made:
Staff reviewed the staff report with the Committee as an
informational item.
It was noted that the analysis presented in the staff
report is short-term and does not consider future events,
such as what the cost of the City’s Pure Water will do to
the Metro costs or how Metro may propose changes to their
rate structure.
The Committee inquired if staff has considered purposeful
concepts for the unused water that the District will have
to pay for. Staff stated that various concepts have been
considered and implemented but some concepts were not
feasible due to cost or regulatory restrictions. These
have been documented in several studies and to the Board
through staff reports. At the request of the Committee,
these reports and studies will be presented by staff in a
separate informational item at a future Committee and Board
meeting.
Staff stated that there is a plan to schedule a tour for
the Board of the City of San Diego’s South Bay Water
Reclamation Plant (SBWRP) and the International Boundary
and Water Commission’s International Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The Metro Joint Powers Authority Commissioners will
be invited to attend the tour of the SBWRP.
Following the discussion, the Committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation of this item to the full board
on the consent calendar.

SUBJECT: Present to the Board the Impact of Sewer Issuing Debt in FY
2019 vs. FY 2020; and Obtain Direction to Prepare the Sewer
218 Notices Using the Recommended Timing of the Debt Issuance
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board direct staff to prepare the Sewer 218 Notices using
the rates associated with the FY 2020 debt issuance.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
Present to the Board the rate impact of sewer issuing debt in FY 2019
vs. FY 2020; and obtain direction to prepare the Sewer 218 Notices
using the recommended timing of the debt issuance.
ANALYSIS:
As part of the FY 2019 Budget presented to the Board on May 21, 2018,
staff communicated that the District’s sewer side would need to issue
$5.0 million of debt in FY 2020. This staff report responds to a
question raised at that meeting. Staff was asked to evaluate the
timing of the sewer debt issuance to determine if it would be cost
beneficial for the debt to be issued in FY 2019 versus issuing debt
in FY 2020, which would likely be issued at a higher interest rate.
The following two debt scenarios are being presented as part of this
Staff Report followed by a discussion of each scenario including: the
net present value benefit, revenue/rate impact and other
risks/benefits:
1. Issue $5.0 million in FY 2020 (FY 2019 Budget proposal)
2. Issue $5.0 million in FY 2019
The following table demonstrates the rate impacts of the each
scenario.
Scenario #1: Issue $5.0 million in FY 2020
If the District were to issue $5.0 million in FY 2020 (November 2019)
and interest rates were to increase 0.3% compared to interest rates
associated with an FY 2019 issuance (November 2018), the annual debt
service would be $342,000. This option allows the impacts of the debt
issuance to be gradually inputted into customer rates from FY 2019 to
FY 2021, and would result in proposed sewer rate increases of 4.6%
for FY 2019 and 5.0% for FY 2020. The FY 2020 increase of 5.0% is
greater than the 4.6% presented in the May 21, 2018 board workshop
due to reducing the maturities on $1.8 million of the debt from 30
years to 20 years.
The following table demonstrates the estimated impact on residential
monthly bills based on this scenario.
The risk associated with this option would be increasing interest
rates. At this time our Financial Advisor’s best estimate is that
long-term interest rates may increase around 30 basis points between
the timing of the two issuance scenarios. A 25 basis point increase
in the effective interest rate equates to an $8,000 increase in
annual debt service, which has a 0.30% impact on sewer rates. The
estimated overall impact of increasing interest rates is summarized
in the next scenario.

Residential
Scenario #2: Issue $5.0 million in FY 2019
If the District were to issue $5.0 million in FY 2019 (November
2018), the annual debt service would be approximately $324,000, which
is $18,000 less per year than issuing the debt in FY 2020. When
compared to issuing the debt in FY 2020, this equates to a net 30-
year present value savings of $75,000. However, this compacts the
period over which the revenues must increase to meet debt coverage
covenants. To meet the debt coverage covenant under this earlier
scenario revenues would need to increase 7.7% in both FY 2019 and FY
2020.
The following table demonstrates the estimated impact on residential
monthly bills based on this scenario.
Under this earlier scenario the short-term percentage impacts on
residential customer monthly bills is greater than under the previous
scenario.
In addition, there remain risks associated with the City of San
Diego’s Pure Water funding program that could result in near term
metro costs increasing more than the current projections, which would
put additional pressure on revenues and rates. Waiting to the point
where the debt is necessary allows various uncertainties to play out
and makes it more certain that the optimal amount of debt will be
issued.
With a 2019 debt issuance, it may be advisable to modify the language
proposed for sewer’s 218 notice. As part of the May 21, 2018 budget
approval, staff proposed a 10% maximum rate increase be allowed for
internal cost increases, which includes the need to meet debt
coverage covenants. The maximum single year decline in winter average
that a 10% maximum internal cost limit could absorb is 16%. The
maximum actual single year winter average decline the District has
realized in recent history was approximately 20%. With winter
averages now close to normal levels this level of decline is
repeatable. If winter averages were to decline 20% in a single year,
a 12% maximum allowable increase for internal costs would be needed
to meet the debt covenant. As a note, under the 2020 debt issuance
scenario, the 10% proposed maximum internal cost increase would be
sufficient to meet the debt service coverage covenant in the event
winter averages declined 20% in a single year.

Recommendation
Based on the upfront impacts on rates, the smoothing of rates, and
the greater certainty of issuing the optimal amount staff is
recommending sewer debt be issued in FY 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The below tables summarize the proposed revenue increases and debt
service associated with the two options above.
Issuing debt in 2020 aligns with the FY 2019 budget and no additional
revenues are needed. Issuing debt in 2019 would result in the need
to raise additional revenues in the near term in accordance with the
tables above.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The District ensures its continued financial health through long-term
financial planning and debt planning.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT/PROJECT:
Present to the Board the Impact of Sewer Issuing Debt in FY
2019 vs. FY 2020; and Obtain Direction to Prepare the Sewer
218 Notices Using the Recommended Timing of the Debt
Issuance
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance and Administration Committee (Committee) reviewed
this item at a meeting held on June 19, 2018 and the following
comments were made:
Staff is presenting to the board the impact to the District of
issuing sewer debt in fiscal year 2019 (FY) versus FY 2020 and
recommending the Board direct staff to prepare the sewer 218
notices using the rates associated with a FY 2020 debt
issuance.
Staff reviewed information in the staff report.
Based on input from the District’s financial advisor, Ms.
Suzanne Harrell of Harrell & Company Advisors, LLC, a FY 2020
debt issuance may carry an effective interest rate of at least
30 basis points above a FY 2019 debt issuance, which increases
debt service by approximately $18,000 per year.
While a FY 2019 debt issuance would carry a lower interest
rate, it reduces the timeframe for sewer to reach rates
necessary to meet the debt coverage ratio covenant associated
with an earlier debt issuance. The District’s average revenue
increases for the next two years would increase from 4.6% in
FY 2019 and 5.0% in FY 2020 to 7.7% in both fiscal years,
followed by 3.0% revenue increases in the following 4 years.
Additionally, the sewer side faces risks related to the pass-
through of pure water costs from the City of San Diego, which
could put further pressure on rates and impact the recommended
amount of debt that will be issued. Waiting until the time
when the debt is necessary allows for various uncertainties to
play out and more certainty that the optimal amount of debt is
issued.
Subsequent to the preparation of this staff report, the
Federal Reserve increased rates a quarter of a percent. These
increases have a greater impact on short-term rates, but are
largely already a component of long term interest rates. As
of the date of the committee meeting, 30-year rates had
increased one (1) basis point.
Based on the upfront impact on rates, the smoothing of rates
and greater certainty that the optimal amount of debt is
issued, staff is recommending sewer debt be issued in FY 2020.
The Committee indicated that the reason they wished staff to
review if it would be more cost effective to issue debt in FY
2019 as opposed to FY 2020, is to take advantage of today’s
lower interest rates as they are expected to rise.
Additionally, it could possibly assist in keeping rate
increases level.
It was indicated that the budget was prepared based on a 2020
debt issuance and the District’s rate increases of 4.6% and 5%
to get the District’s debt coverage ratio to where it needs to
be at the time the debt is issued.
Ms. Harrell indicated that there may be an ability to moderate
rates slightly, but the District would likely not be able to
get to the 4.6% that it is projected by just modifying the
debt service curve.
It was further discussed that if the District wished to issue
debt now, even if the District was able to structure the
principal payments to be phased in overtime, the rating
agencies look at the ultimate payment requirement. Thus, the
District must have the debt coverage ratio at or above target
at the time the debt is issued.
In response to an inquiry from the Committee, staff indicated
that they did look at issuing a portion of the debt in 2019
and the remaining debt in 2020 and concluded that the option
was cost prohibitive.
The committee inquired about whether or not a single issuance
with a provision to draw down the loan amount over two years
would be cost beneficial. Staff followed up the Financial
Advisor regarding this option. This structure is not
available under a negotiated sale process and would need to be
executed through a private placement. The maximum term under
a private placement would be 15 to 20 years, which will
increase the annual debt service by approximately $176,000 and
require additional rate increases to meet the bond covenants.
It was discussed that by the District waiting until FY 2020 to
issue debt, it will know the optimal amount of debt that
needs to be issued. If debt is issued in FY 2019, the
District could issue too much or too little and could possibly
need to issue more debt should the issuance be smaller than
required. It also impacts the time needed by the District to
reach adequate revenue levels necessary to meet the debt
coverage ratio requirement. Because of these reasons, staff
is recommending that debt be issued in FY 2020.
It was communicated that, in addition to greater rate
increases in 2019 and 2020, staff would recommend that the 218
notices be modified to increase the provision for a 10% rate
increase for internal costs be raised to 12%. The increase
would be necessary to provide the District with the
flexibility to meet debt service coverage covenants in the
event winter averages fluctuated significantly.
Upon completion of the discussion, the committee supported
staffs’ recommendation and presentation to the full board as an
informational item.

Engineering completed the inspection and testing on June 7, 2018
reporting that the system is fully operational and fully compliant
with the Unified Program Facility Permit issued by the County of
San Diego Department of Environmental Health.
San Diego County Water Authority (CWA) Bid and Solicitation Portals
(Board Requested Information) – CWA has used “The Network” for many
years as a portal to publish solicitations online. The portal was
originally created as a clearinghouse by Metropolitan Water
District (MWD) who then recruited other agencies such as CWA. MWD
long ago abandoned The Network leaving CWA and four smaller
agencies to manage on their own. BidNet, who gathers and
republishes federal, state and local government RFP’s from
newspapers, websites and other sources, now provides backend
support for The Network; they also run eBidboard which CWA uses to
publish construction projects. CWA has stayed with The Network
3
mainly for its low $7,500 annual subscription fee. By paying an
annual fee, CWA can offer the service to vendors, suppliers and
contractors at no cost. CWA manually maintains its solicitations in
three online locations: CWA website, The Network, and eBidboard.
In similar fashion, the District publishes its projects online
through BidSync, one of the larger solicitation portals operating
in California. Solicitations are also published automatically on
the District’s website through an imbedded BidSync page with links
to current and past projects. An annual fee of $8,000 allows the
District to offer the service free to vendors, suppliers and
contractors. Through BidSync, the District advertises to
contractors specifically invited by staff, contractors who
subscribe to applicable project categories, and solicitation
aggregators who republish on their sites such as BidNet/eBidboard
(CWA’s portal), Dodge Data, The Bluebook, San Diego Associated
General Contractors Plan Room, Construction Connect, Construction
Bid Source, Federation of CA Builders Exchange, GovWin-Onvia and
other plan rooms.
BidSync Solicitations – Two (2) solicitations advertised on the
District’s solicitation web portal, BidSync, recently closed:
o “As-Needed Construction Management and Inspection Services” –
For the services of construction management and inspection
consulting firm(s) on an as-needed basis to support the delivery
of the District’s CIP projects. The projects include, but are
not limited to, sanitary sewer pipelines, potable water
pipelines, recycled water pipelines, pump station upgrades,
interconnections, and reservoir coating projects. The budget is
a not-to-exceed $600,000 covering Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020.
o “Provide & Install Transparent Bullet Resistant Barrier Systems”
- For quotations from responsible vendors/contractors to provide
and install transparent bullet resistant barrier systems at the
District’s Customer Service and the Public Service Counters.
Safety & Security:
Regulatory Training – Staff completed the annual hearing
conservation training and testing. Staff exposed to noise exposures
equal or exceeding an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level of
85 decibels are required to be part of a hearing conservation
program. The results of this year’s test were: zero changes in
hearing and no re-tests required. The training and testing were
completed successfully.
Regulatory Inspections – The Treatment Plant laboratory chemical
hoods (2), underwent an inspection and certification by the
County’s Department of Environmental Health. The inspection and
certification was completed successfully and the two laboratory
chemical hoods are operating properly.
4
Monthly WebEOC Exercise – Staff completed the June monthly WebEOC
exercise, which consisted of: “Under Status Boards, create a Point
of Dispensing (POD) status”. This is for dispensing medication in
case of a county-wide medical emergency, e.g., pandemic. The
exercise was completed satisfactorily.
Department of Transportation (DOT) – District staff, whom drive
commercial vehicles routinely, underwent a refresher review on
commercial vehicles’ daily checks, and a Behind-the-Wheel
Evaluation and Road Test. The refresher was completed with good
results.
FINANCE:
Water Rate Increase Notices and Sewer 218 Notices – Finance, Public
Relations and Legal Counsel are finalizing rate notices, which are
scheduled to be mailed to customers from mid-July to mid-August. A
218 Hearing for sewer rates will be scheduled for October 3, 2018
with new sewer rates becoming effective for billings after
January 1, 2019. New water rates will be implemented based on last
year’s 218 Hearing and will be effective for billing after
January 1, 2019.
ADP Implementation – Finance, IT and HR staff have kicked off the
ADP implementation project. Timesheet and payroll modules are
scheduled to go live with the first payroll in 2019. The HR and
benefits modules are scheduled to go live in March of 2019.
Salt Creek Exit – Finance staff is working with Legal staff on
drafting a release agreement finalizing the exit of the Highlands
Golf from the Salt Creek Golf course and remaining amounts owed for
rent, water and other miscellaneous exit costs.
Water Debt – Finance staff is preparing narratives and schedules
needed to complete the draft Official Statement for issuing $30M of
water debt. Staff is scheduling for all documents to be drafted by
September and will be bringing the debt related items to the Board
in the September/October timeframe.
Fiscal Year-End Payroll Updates – Staff will be implementing COLA,
PERS and Workers Compensation Insurance rate changes into Eden
starting this week with an effective date of 7/1/2018.
Remarketing Agent – Union Bank has informed the District that they
are exiting the Remarketing industry and has requested the District
find a replacement. Staff has received interest from three
institutions and is planning to complete the replacement within the
next three to five months.

ENGINEERING AND WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONS:
ENGINEERING:
870-2 Pump Station Replacement: This project consists of a new pump
station to replace the existing Low Head 571-1 and High Head 870-1
Pump Stations. The project also includes the replacement of the
existing liner and cover for the 571-1 Reservoir (36.7 MG). During
the month of June 2018, Pacific Hydrotech completed work to place
reinforcing steel, place forms and pour the concrete for the west
galley wall. It is anticipated that the pump station suction header
will be delivered to the project in July 2018. Pump station
specific submittals are in progress. The project is within budget
and scheduled to complete in October 2019. (P2083 & P2562)
SR-11 Utility Relocations: This project consists of relocating
several District potable water pipelines located in Otay Mesa Road,
Sanyo Avenue, Enrico Fermi Drive, Alta Road, and within District
easements. The first two rounds of relocations (Caltrans Utility
Agreement Numbers 33592 and 33622) were completed in FY 2016.
Caltrans approved the District’s water main relocation consultant’s
(NV5) drawings for the relocations in Enrico Fermi Drive and Alta
Road on May 29, 2018. Caltrans has scheduled the start of
construction in fall of 2019. Utility agreements corresponding to
the final design will be presented to the District’s Committee and
Board in the June/July 2019 timeframe. As part of the SR-11
project, Caltrans will need to acquire a portion of the District’s
fee-owned right-of-way that is located in the Alta Road alignment
south of Otay Mesa Road. The Board approved the sale of the
property to Caltrans at the June 2018 meeting of the Board of
6
Directors. It is anticipated that the sale of the property will be
completed in July 2018. (P2453)
978-1 & 850-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coatings & Upgrades: This
project consists of removing and replacing the interior and exterior
coatings of the 978-1 (0.5 MG) Reservoir and the 850-2 (3.1 MG)
Reservoir along with providing structural upgrades to ensure the
tanks comply with both state and federal OSHA standards as well as
the American Water Works Association and the County Health
Department standards. The 978-1 Reservoir was placed back in
service in July 2017. The 850-2 Reservoir was placed back in
service on January 12, 2018. Contract acceptance and recordation of
the Notice of Completion by the District was completed on May 31,
2018. Project delivery by the contractor was behind schedule due to
contractor coordination. As a result, the District has assessed
liquidated damages for late delivery of the project starting in
September 2017 through substantial completion, which occurred when
the 850-2 Reservoir was placed back in service on January 12, 2018.
The contractor has sent claims correspondence to the District
disputing the assessment of liquidated damages. The District’s
construction manager for the project has issued the Engineer’s
Entitlement Decision denying the claims. The contractor has filed
for mediation on the project. The project is within budget. (P2534
& P2544)
Campo Road Sewer Replacement: The existing sanitary sewer from
Avocado Road to Singer Lane is undersized and located in
environmentally sensitive areas that are difficult to access. The
Campo Road Sewer Replacement project will install approximately
7,420 linear feet of new 15-inch gravity sewer pipe and includes
abandonment of the existing sewer main. In June 2018, work
continued at the Rancho San Diego Village shopping center. Work at
the shopping center included potholing to identify existing
utilities and installation of the new sewer main, which is
approximately 30 feet deep. This work is occurring at night to
minimize impacts to the shopping center. It is anticipated that
during the month of July, the sewer installation work will progress
to the shopping center’s main entrance. This is one of four
entrances to the shopping center. Staff is coordinating the work
and the closure of the driveway entrance with the property
management of the Rancho San Diego Village shopping center. During
May 2018, a walk-through of the restoration work completed at the
Rancho San Diego Towne Center was performed with the shopping
center’s Property Manager. Punch list items were identified and
addressed. Acceptance of the completed work is pending from the
Rancho San Diego Towne Center property management staff. The
project is within budget and the overall project is scheduled for
completion in May 2019. (S2024)

Hillsdale Road Potable Water and Sewer Replacement: The existing
water line in Hillsdale Road between Jamacha Road and Vista Grande
Road has experienced several leaks and is nearing the end of its
useful life. This project consists of replacing approximately
4,050 linear feet of steel water line with a 12-inch Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) water line. The project also includes the
replacement of approximately 760 linear feet of 8-inch PVC sewer
within Hillsdale Road. During June 2018, the District’s contractor
TC Construction Company, Inc., completed the planned sewer
replacement work. The contractor also began the trench pavement
restoration work along with the pavement replacement work in the
area that fronts Valhalla High School. The project is within
budget and on schedule to complete in June 2018. The District’s
pavement repair work on Hillsdale Road is being coordinated with
the County of San Diego’s Hillsdale Road asphalt pavement overlay
project. The County’s project will begin once the District’s work
is complete. (P2573 & S2048)
Vista Vereda and Hidden Mesa Water Pipelines Replacement: The
existing 1950’s steel water line along Vista Vereda between Vista
Grande Road and Hidden Mesa Trail in the Hillsdale area has
experienced leaks and is nearing the end of its useful life. The
existing water main is located primarily within easements, many of
which have had significant improvements performed over the years
since the water line was constructed. Through the District’s As-
Needed Engineering Design contract, a Task Order was issued on
May 2, 2017 to Rick Engineering to design the project. A
preliminary design report has been completed, with the final report
submitted to the District on January 10, 2018. The changing of the
Vista Vereda water line from a transmission main to local
distribution only and upgrading the water lines in Hidden Mesa Road
to become a transmission main is recommended based upon assessment
of the challenges of reconstructing a transmission main along the
same current alignment. A task order change was executed to revise
the scope of work to reflect this. A community meeting was held on
February 10, 2018. Staff continues to discuss the project with
property owners who have requested additional information with a
letter to be distributed updating them on the alignment changes at
the 60% design and a follow up letter to be sent after the 90%
design with more detailed impacts to individual properties. In
March, the 60% design was reviewed and potholing of existing
utilities performed to verify proposed water line alignments. The
90% design is currently being reviewed by the District with
comments to be returned to Rick Engineering by the end of June, at
which time the County permits applications will be prepared and
submitted. The project is on schedule for completion of the design
in July 2018 (the community outreach efforts delayed this a month
from the original schedule). (P2574 & P2625)

Fuerte Drive Sewer Relocation Project: The County of San Diego has
designated a section of Fuerte Drive west of Calavo Drive at the
intersection of Fuerte Drive and Alzeda Drive for road realignment
for safety issues, prompting the relocation of approximately 255
linear feet of 8-inch sewer. During June 2018, Burtech Pipeline,
Inc., the District’s construction contractor for the project, began
the sewer relocation work on Fuerte Drive. It is anticipated that
the relocation work will reach substantial completion at the end of
June 2018. The project is within budget. (S2045)
OWD Administration and Operations Parking Lot Improvements, Phase II
– Pavement Restoration: Phase I of this project, completed in
October 2017, upgraded the parking lot light fixtures in both the
Administration and Operations lots. Phase II consists of repairing
the asphalt concrete paving, slurry sealing, and restriping both
asphalt concrete parking lots. In addition to the pavement
improvements, a carport will be installed to protect the larger
fleet vehicles, and gates will be installed to better secure the
Operations parking lot. During June 2018, Frank and Son Paving,
Inc., the District’s construction contractor for the OWD
Administration & Operations Parking Lot Improvements, PH. II –
Pavement Restoration project, began submittals for the project. The
pavement restoration work and striping will be performed during
weekends to minimize disruption to customers and the District’s
employees. It is anticipated that the contractor will complete the
project in late July 2018. The project is within budget. (P2555)
980-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coating and Upgrades: This project
consists of removing and replacing the interior and exterior
coatings of the 980-2 (5.0 MG) Reservoir, along with providing
structural upgrades, to ensure the tank complies with both state and
federal OSHA standards as well as the American Water Works
Association and the County Health Department standards. During the
month of June 2018, the contractor completed interior blasting,
prime coat, and final coating of the reservoir. It is anticipated
that the exterior blasting, prime coat, and final coating work will
complete in July 2018. The project is within the approved budget
and scheduled to complete in August 2018. (P2546)
Rancho San Diego Pump Station Rehabilitation: On April 30, 2014,
the District and the San Diego County Sanitation District
(Sanitation District) executed a reimbursement agreement for the
improvements to the Rancho San Diego Pump Station. The Sanitation
District awarded a construction contract to TC Construction Company,
Inc. on September 14, 2016. The County has extended the
construction completion date to July 2018 in response to several
change orders with the contractor. Testing of the pumps began in
April 2018 and continued through May as one of the pumps had a
failure during on-site testing and had to be returned to the
9
manufacturer for repairs. Construction is anticipated to be
completed by the end of June 2018. A meeting between the County and
District operators will be held in July 2018 at the pump station to
confirm coordination between the station and RWCWRF with the new
improvements. (S2027)
Salt Creek and Roll Reservoir Trails: Staff is working with the
County Parks and Recreation Department and other stakeholders (CDFW,
USFWS, City of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, Border Patrol, BLM)
on the Otay Regional Trail Implementation Study. Two (2) trails
being considered have segments that cross OWD parcels, one at Salt
Creek, adjacent to the HMA, and one that goes around the west side
of the 571-1 (Roll) Reservoir. If these trails are determined to be
viable after the study is complete, staff would ask the Board to
approve the trail segments. An agreement between OWD and the County
would need to be entered into, with the County assuming all
liability for the trails, their maintenance, and any other
conditions deemed necessary by staff and the Board. Staff attended
the Public Workshop for the Trails Study that was held on June 20,
2018 in Chula Vista. The workshop was very well attended
(approximately 70 attendees) and many of the attendees were very
interested in the trail that is proposed adjacent to the HMA. They
were very happy to see that it has the potential to be a trail in
the future.
Pure Water Update: The Pure Water Project would construct
facilities that have the ability to produce an annual average daily
flow of 30 MGD in 2021, which in turn would reduce total suspended
solids discharged to the ocean. The project will expand the
existing North City Water Reclamation Plant and construct an
adjacent North City Pure Water Facility. Staff submitted comments
on November 21, 2017, to be included in the final document
considered by the decision-making authorities. On April 10, 2018,
the City of San Diego (City) approved the Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the project. The City responded, in the Final EIR,
to the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority’s (Metro JPA) concern
that the City failed to address the project’s ability to achieve
Secondary Equivalency at the Point Loma WWTP that this is an issue
related to the design of the project and not the adequacy of the
environmental analysis. Other concerns expressed by the Metro JPA
were dismissed as well. The final EIR can be found at:
https://www.sandiego.gov/water/purewater/purewatersd/reports
Metro JPA negotiated a tolling agreement with the City to give Metro
JPA and the City more time to negotiate changes to the project to
address Metro JPA’s concerns. To date, one lawsuit has been filed
against the project by San Diego environmental attorney, Cory
Briggs, on behalf of a neighborhood that could be impacted by this
project. On May 14, 2018, the Metro JPA distributed a draft of the
“Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement Between
10
the City of San Diego and the Participating Agencies in the
Metropolitan Sewerage System” to the agencies for comment. This
doesn’t give Metro JPA much time since this is expected to be
presented to Metro JPA for consideration at the August 2, 2018
meeting. The City of San Diego will be considering this agreement
at the Environment Committee meeting on September 13, 2018 and then
present it to the City Council at its October 2, 2018 for approval.
District staff will be presenting a staff report on the status of
this agreement at the August 1, 2018 Board meeting.
Community Outreach: Staff from the District have been active in the
community giving a presentation at San Diego State University (SDSU)
and mentoring high school students. Engineering staff gave a
presentation on the District’s RWCWRF to the SDSU student chapter of
AWWA and judged the student’s projects at the annual engineering
competition that is part of the science, technology, engineering,
and medicine (STEM) program at Santana High School. Engineering
staff attended several after school meetings this school year
offering recommendations on improving their curriculum, purchasing
equipment, and providing an opportunity for high school students to
talk with engineers that live and work in their community.
For the month of May 2018, the District sold 71 meters (79 EDUs),
generating $695,156 in revenue. The projection for this period was
23.6 meters (30.8 EDUs), with a budgeted revenue of $270,083. Total
revenue for Fiscal Year 2018 is $8,258,190 against the annual budget
of $3,241,000.
WATER SYSTEM OPERATIONS (reporting for May):

On May 10, staff performed a planned shutdown to replace an 8-inch
inoperable valve inside the Rancho San Diego Village shopping
center from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. A water trailer was on site for
the 24hr Fitness Center, which was the only business affected.
On May 17, an email was received from San Diego County Water
Authority stating that Mexico flow deliveries scheduled for May 23
were postponed for the months of July through September 2018.
However, no specific start date or duration is specified.
Notification of a definitive delivery start date is anticipated
later as we get closer to July 2018.
On May 18, the City of San Diego Wastewater Treatment Plant (City)
notified staff of a planned shutdown of recycled water for May 19
from 9:00 am to 11:30 pm due to an emergency transformer and
breaker repair on their substations 61 and 66. Again on May 24,
the City informed staff of another planned recycled inflow shutdown
for May 25 from 6:30 am to 3:30 pm due to another emergency
electric breaker repair on their substation 61, where they were
unable to complete the repairs during the shutdown on May 18.
Actual recycled flow resumed on May 25 at 6:00 pm.
On May 25, the Lab completed the Environmental Laboratory
Accreditation Program (ELAP) (water only) and the Transnational
Institute (TNI). The closing conference with the inspector had
some minor administrative paperwork suggestions. The inspector
however, was impressed with staff’s knowledge and the lab
organization was excellent. On June 14 staff had the ELAP
(wastewater only) inspection and also minor administrative
paperwork was suggested. Comments from the inspector were
“excellent.” The final reports with the formal recommendations for
all three inspections will not be available for approximately one
to two months.
