SUBJECT: Approval to Purchase Sewer Televising Van
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board authorize the General Manager to issue a purchase
order to 3T Equipment Company Inc. in the amount of $117,062.48
for the purchase of one (1) Sewer Televising Van.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment “A”.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization to purchase a Sewer Televising
Van.
ANALYSIS:
Included in the approved FY 2012 budget is one (1) new Sewer
Televising Van.
The Sewer Televising Van is a new vehicle scheduled to be
utilized by the Utility Maintenance Staff.
In 2006, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a State
General Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) for any agency that
owns and operates a sanitary sewer system. A component of the
WDR requires a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) that
AGENDA ITEM 3
emphasizes “Routine Condition Assessment” of the sewer system.
Part of this assessment includes sewer line televising that
ensures proper investigation, maintenance and repair of the
sanitary sewer system. This would be consistent with the SSMP
that requires that each collection system agency identify and
prioritize structural deficiencies.
In addition, the televising of the District’s collection system
is a functional assessment of current conditions of sewer pipes
in regards to maintenance and cleaning. Common factors that
compromise the integrity of the gravity sewer system includes
sags in pipes, tree root intrusion, the introduction of cooking
grease from commercial and residential customers along with
other miscellaneous items introduced into the sewer system.
Consequently, common sewer maintenance practice includes the
cleaning of sewer lines with above mentioned issues and prompt
follow-up televising to ensure the line(s) were properly cleaned
and free of obstructions. These obstructions could cause a sewer
back-up into commercial and residential customers’ private sewer
laterals and/or sewer overflows from District sewer mains that
discharge into the environment. Sewer overflows are prohibited
by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San
Diego Section.
Over the past three years, prior contracts to televise and
document the wastewater collection system totaled $685,100. Cost
per-foot prices ranged from $1.41 per foot to $3.50 per foot.
This cost was for scheduled sewer televising work with, at times
delays of numerous days before work was performed. Televising
reports from the contractor were delivered with requested
maintenance and cleaning actions that were already completed.
Current televising costs by a contractor with a 48-hour response
is about $2.75 per lineal foot.
Currently, our sewer system is approximately 82 miles of sewer
lines at $2.75 per foot equates to 1.19 million dollars to
inspect the entire sewer system. Additional efficiency benefits
include one-day turnaround of televising affected sections of
the wastewater collection system that includes in-house staff
televising costs of $1.26 per foot. The process of cleaning and
televising sewer lines will allow for regulatory WDR and SSMP
compliance with the District emphasis of zero overflows.
In-house sewer televising will also greatly benefit sewer line
CIP replacement projects as internal video inspection allows for
precise replacement forecasts.
Purchase price before taxes includes vehicle $24,500.00,
televising equipment, delivery, warranty and training totals of
$84,143.14 for a total purchase price of $108,643.14. Attached
are pictures of the van and televising equipment.
The sewer televising equipment package includes sewer camera,
camera transporter, 1,000 feet of single conductor-steel armored
cable, portable generator to reduce fuel consumption, computer
and computer related sewer inspection software that is
compatible with the District’s software.
The warranty includes two years on the camera and transporter, a
five-year warranty of the reel and cable with a lifetime
warranty on the camera LED lighting. 3-T equipment company also
provides a free lifetime loaner program when televising
equipment is being serviced. Their service location is in
Montclair near Ontario, CA.
3-T supplies on-site training of three days if needed with as
many Otay staff members as the District selects. The training
cost is inclusive in the total bid cost. Training includes
maintenance and operation of the televising equipment.
Maintenance usually consists of cleaning, inspecting, tightening
of connectors and lubrication of moving parts. We expect to
train four staff members which include one crew leader, two Sr.
Utility/Equipment Operators and one Utility Worker. Normal
staffing for televising of the sewer system should consist of
one Sr. Utility/Operator and one Utility Worker.
In accordance with District policy, bids were solicited for the
Sewer Televising Van. Three bids were received. Prices received
include all applicable fees and taxes and delivery.
Dealer Vehicle Bid Bid Price
3-T Equipment Company F-350 Class Sewer
Televising Van $117,062.48
Mission Valley Trucks F-350 Class Sewer
Televising Van $118,471.12
RST Technical Services F-350 Class Sewer
Televising Van $132,655.44
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
Projected purchase budget for this vehicle is $130,000. The
purchase of this vehicle will cost $117,062.48 which will be
charged against the Vehicle Replacement CIP p2282. The total
cost in this account will not exceed budgeted funding.
The total FY12 project budget for the CIP p2282 Vehicle
Replacement is $395,000. Existing expenditures and current
encumbrances for the CIP, including the vehicle purchased under
this request if approved, are $324,754.44. This will complete
the purchases from this account for this fiscal year.
Based on the Utility Service Manager’s evaluation, the CIP 2282
budget is sufficient to complete the budgeted purchase.
The Finance Department has determined that 100% of the funds are
available from the sewer betterment and sewer replacement funds.
Expenditure Summary:
FY12 Vehicle Replacement CIP 2282 Budget: $395,000.00
FY12 Expenditures and Encumbrances to Date:
Vehicle Replacement of existing fleet.
$207,691.96

AGENDA ITEM 4
2
ANALYSIS:
The District will require the services of a professional electrical
engineering consultant to provide electrical and instrumentation
designs in support of CIP projects for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014.
It is more efficient and cost effective to issue an as-needed
contract for the electrical engineering services which will provide
the District with the ability to obtain consulting services in a
timely and efficient manner. This concept has also been used in the
past for other disciplines such as civil engineering, geotechnical,
traffic, and environmental services.
The District will issue task orders to the consultant for specific
projects during the contract period. The consultant will then
prepare a detailed scope of work, schedule, and fee estimate for each
task order assigned under the contract. Upon written task order
authorization from the District, the consultant shall then proceed
with the project as described in the scope of work.
The anticipated CIP projects that are estimated to require electrical
engineering services for Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 are listed below:
CIP DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED
COST
P2083 870-2 Pump Station Replacement $30,000
P2190 10-Inch, 1485 Zone Jamul Highlands Pipeline $5,000
P2518 803-3 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coating
(Electrical Upgrades) $5,000
P2519 832-2 Reservoir Interior/Exterior Coating
(Electrical Upgrades) $5,000
R2048 Otay Mesa Distribution Pipelines $20,000
S2023 Sewer System Improvements at Various
Locations $5,000
TBD 30-Inch Potable Water Pipeline Manifold $20,000
TOTAL: $90,000
The contract is for an amount not-to-exceed $100,000 for all task
orders. Fees for professional services will be charged to the CIP
projects for which the electrical engineering services are performed.
The electrical engineering services’ scopes of work for the above
projects are estimated from preliminary information and past
projects. Therefore, staff believes that a $100,000 cap on the As-
Needed Electrical Engineering Services contract is adequate, while
still providing for any unanticipated work that may become necessary.
3
This As-Needed Electrical Engineering Services contract does not
commit the District to any expenditure until a task order is approved
to perform work on a CIP project. The District does not guarantee
work to the consultant, nor does the District guarantee that it will
expend all of the funds authorized by the contract on professional
services.
The District solicited electrical engineering services by placing an
advertisement on the Otay Water District’s website and the San Diego
Daily Transcript on February 23, 2012. Six (6) firms submitted a
letter of interest and a statement of qualifications. The Request
for Proposal (RFP) for As-Needed Electrical Engineering Services was
sent to all six (6) firms resulting in four (4) proposals received on
March 15, 2012. They are as follows:
Engineering Partners Inc.
BSE Engineering Inc.
Elen Consulting
Lee & Ro Inc.
G4 Engineering and Turpin & Rattan chose not to propose.
In accordance with the District’s Policy 21, staff evaluated and
scored all written proposals. BSE Engineering received the highest
score for their services based on their experience, understanding of
the scope of work, proposed method to accomplish the work, and their
composite hourly rate. BSE Engineering was the most qualified
consultant with the best overall proposal. They are a highly rated
company and are readily available to provide the services required.
A summary of the complete evaluation is shown in Attachment B. BSE
Engineering also completed the Company Background Questionnaire which
showed no outstanding issues. The Questionnaire is shown in
Attachment C.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The funds for this contract will be expended from a variety of
projects, as previously noted above. The fees for professional
services requested herein are available in the authorized CIP project

ANALYSIS:
The District is working with a private developer and several
binational governmental agencies to support the design, build, and
AGENDA ITEM 6
2
operation of a sea-water desalting facility in the area of Rosarito,
Baja California. The Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System
Project (Project) will provide a potable water transmission pipeline
and pump station to convey the desalinated water from the border of
Mexico to Roll Reservoir on Otay Mesa. The primary purpose of the
Project is to provide water service at a potable level to customers
in both the U.S. and Mexico.
Given the many challenges in advancing this Project, Peter Silva, the
principal of SSI, is uniquely positioned to provide technical,
regulatory, and policy assistance in water and wastewater matters.
Mr. Silva has 34 years of experience in the water and wastewater
fields. Additionally, Mr. Silva has worked on U.S.-Mexico border
issues for over 30 years. SSI’s extensive experience in the U.S.
includes the Regional Water Quality Control Board in Los Angeles and
San Diego, the California Water Resources Control Board, the State
Department of Health Services, the State Fish and Game, the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation, and the Environmental Protection Agency in
Washington, DC. plus, Mexican agencies and officials at the state
level, i.e., Governor Osuna Millan, the Secretaria de Infraestructura
y Desalloro Urbano, the Comision Estatal de Agua, and the Comision
Estatal del Servicios Publicos de Tijuana y Rosarito (CESPT) and the
Federal agencies which include Comision Nacional de Agua, and the
Comision Internacional de Limites y Aguas.
Under a $50,000 agreement and a First Amendment to Agreement, signed
under the signature authority of the General Manager and extending
the agreement to May 2012, SSI has been providing consulting services
to the District since March 17, 2011.
Based on past work between the District and SSI, the District feels
SSI is uniquely qualified to best meet the District’s needs for
technical, regulatory, and policy expertise to advance this Project
(see Exhibit B for Scope of Work).

SUBJECT: Resolution Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission to
Initiate Proceedings for Peaceful Valley Ranch Annexation
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 4194 (Attachment B), for the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) to initiate proceedings for the Peaceful
Valley Ranch Annexation to the San Diego County Water Authority
(SDCWA) and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
(MWD)(see Exhibits A and B for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the proposed annexation is to provide imported water
to serve Assessor Parcel Numbers 597-070-02, 597-070-07, and 597-050-
13 to be developed by Peaceful Valley Ranch LLC.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Peaceful Valley Ranch project is a 181.3 acre
residential development, of which 28.9 acres are already within the
SDCWA and MWD service area. The entire 181.3 acre development is
already located within the Otay Water District (District) service
area. The property is located in the County of San Diego off Campo
Road and Melody Road in the community of Jamul.
AGENDA ITEM 7
2
On September 3, 2003, the Otay Water District Board (Board) adopted
Resolution No. 3992, requesting concurrent annexation of the Peaceful
Valley Ranch property to SDCWA and MWD (Attachment C). The
annexation process was delayed due to the need for the property owner
to complete the environmental documents needed to comply with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and by the SDCWA until
Annexation Policy #2 was adopted, as explained below. The table
below summarizes the steps that have been taken and those that are
still needed in order to annex the Peaceful Valley Ranch property.

Future proposed
action. Deadline is
December 31, 2012.
The applicant is requesting annexation to provide imported water to
serve the property. The property owner anticipates meeting demands
of the Peaceful Valley Ranch property with a combination of imported
water and local groundwater. The District estimates that the average
water demand on the SDCWA from the proposed Peaceful Valley Ranch
Annexation is approximately 70 acre-feet per year (AFY), with a
projected maximum daily demand on the Water Authority of 0.16 cubic
feet per second.
Groundwater quality in the area is not well suited for domestic use,
due to elevated total dissolved solids concentrations beyond the
maximum contaminant level, or MCL, of 1,000 mg/L. The owner plans to
continue to use groundwater to the extent practicable. Under the
Major Use Permit from the county of San Diego for the project,
groundwater extraction is limited to a maximum of 22 AFY when the
development is complete.
Historically, the owners used the property mainly for dry farming.
The proposed annexation is for an estate residential development,
including equestrian uses and amenities. Peaceful Valley Ranch LLC
proposes to develop 52 estate residential units on lots ranging in
size from two to five acres. The annexation includes a private
equestrian facility, with horse stables and a polo-training field.
The Polo field would be the only portion of the project using
groundwater as a water supply source.
The property, if annexed, will create windows within the SDCWA’s
service area. A window is an un-annexed area surrounded by annexed
territory. A window within a service area leads to inefficient
4
supply management and facility planning, and could increase the
potential for water use outside the service area, either directly or
indirectly. One way to avoid formation of windows is for the member
agency to request annexation of the window areas in addition to the
original annexation request. District staff surveyed the landowners
to determine their interest in annexing. One landowner, Stoddard,
who was included in Otay’s original Peaceful Valley Ranch annexation
request remains interested in annexing, but at a later date. The
eight-acre Stoddard property is shown on the legal description and
plat within Attachment C. Staff also contacted the remaining five
landowners; however, none are interested in annexing at this time.
These results are consistent with the landowner survey staff
conducted in 2004 when the annexation request was initially made to
the SDCWA. The SDCWA cannot require property owners to annex,
especially taking into account annexation requirements under the
current supply situation. The District has made an effort to
eliminate the formation of windows through contacting the landowners.
The majority of the annexing property is coterminous to the Water
Authority service area. In addition, to prevent use of imported
supplies outside the SDCWA and MWD’s service areas that could occur
with the creation of windows, the District has stated that they
conduct continuous monitoring of their facilities to preclude illegal
tapping of mains.
The Board of Directors of the MWD on December 13, 2011 adopted
Resolutions 9133 and 9134 consenting to the annexation, fixed terms
and conditions, and adopted a water standby charge for the Peaceful
Valley Ranch Annexation (see Attachment D).
The Board of Directors of the SDCWA on January 26, 2012 adopted
Resolution No. 2012-01 setting final terms and conditions, approving
the concurrent annexation of territory to said agencies and making
environmental findings relating to the Peaceful Valley Ranch
Annexation (see attachment E).
