Sanitation Districts Agenda Items
1. SPRING VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF ODOR CONTROL BIOCHEMICAL FOR THE RANCHO SAN DIEGO WASTEWATER PUMP STATION
2. WAIVER OF POLICY I-106 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES FOR LIMITED SEWER CAPACITY IN THE MISSION GORGE TRUNK SEWER LINE – LAKESIDE SANITATION DISTRICT
SAN1. SUBJECT: SPRING VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT OF ODOR CONTROL BIOCHEMICAL FOR THE RANCHO SAN DIEGO WASTEWATER PUMP STATION (DISTRICT: 2) OVERVIEW: On August 11, 1998 (SAN 3), the Sanitation District Board of Directors authorized sole source procurement of Bioxide to reduce odors and corrosion. At that time, Bioxide was the only chemical that worked efficiently for this particular low flow application with existing equipment. Since then, District staff has continued to evaluate odor control methods and chemicals. These studies concluded that while the cost of these products were, in most cases, comparable to Bioxide, the product was either less effective and/or much more 12/10/03 1 difficult to use. Also greater quantities would be required to reduce odors and were much more caustic than Bioxide, presenting risk to staff safety in handling, storage and application.
Bioxide odor control chemical is available only from the patent holder, US Filter/Davis Products Inc. Action requested would authorize purchase of up to $200,000 in product per year for three years, with an option to renew for up to two additional years. Staff will continue to review alternate odor reduction products in an attempt to generate competition for this type of procurement in future years while continuing to ensure public health and safety.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this proposal are budgeted. Funding source is sewer service fees for the Spring Valley Sanitation District (30%) and revenue from Otay Municipal Water District (70%). If approved, this request will authorize purchases of the odor control chemical, not to exceed $200,000 total current year cost and $200,000 annual cost. This action will require no additional staff years and will have no effect on the County General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER: 1. Find that the proposed activity is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as specified under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060 (c)(3) because it is an administrative action and not a project as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
2. In accordance with Board Policy A-87, Competitive Procurement, approve and authorize the Director, Purchasing and Contracting, to enter into negotiations with U.S. Filter/Davis Products Inc. and, subject to successful negotiations and determination of a fair and reasonable price, award a contract for the acquisition of Bioxide odor control chemical for three years, with an option to renew for an additional two years. ACTION: ON MOTION of Director Jacob, seconded by Director Slater, the Board of Directors took action as recommended, on Consent.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
SAN2. SUBJECT: WAIVER OF POLICY I-106 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRIORITIES FOR LIMITED SEWER CAPACITY IN THE MISSION GORGE TRUNK SEWER LINE – LAKESIDE SANITATION DISTRICT (District: 2) OVERVIEW: Board Policy I-106, Establishment of Priorities for Limited Sewer Capacity in the Mission
12/10/03 2 Gorge Trunk Sewer Line, defines priorities and criteria for determining future sewer service via the Mission Gorge Trunk sewer for the Alpine Sanitation District, Lakeside Sanitation District and the Winter Gardens Sewer Maintenance District. The Policy stipulates that no application for annexation to the Lakeside Sanitation District will be accepted unless the property to be annexed is within Lakeside’s Urban Limit Line and the sanitation district’s Sphere of Influence boundary.
A request has been received from the proponent of the Crestlake Estates proposed private development project located south of the intersection of Interstate 8 and Dunbar Lane (Thomas Guide Page 1233 D-E/3-4), to allow the property to be annexed to the Lakeside Sanitation District to serve the project’s 62 residential lots. While this project is outside both the Lakeside Urban Limit Line and the sanitation district’s Sphere of Influence, staff has determined that adequate sewer conveyance facilities and sufficient capacity exist to serve this project. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider a waiver of Policy I-106.
This action will enable the developer to apply for annexation to the Lakeside Sanitation District.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this proposal are application fees paid by the customer. Fees collected for this project will cover all costs. There will be no fiscal impact to the County General Fund as a result of this action.
RECOMMENDATION: CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER: 1. Find that a waiver of Policy I-106 is an administrative activity and therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), because it is not a project as defined by Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines.
2. Waive the requirements of Board Policy I-106: Establishment of Priorities for Limited Sewer Capacity in the Mission Gorge Trunk Sewer Line, to allow annexation application for the Crestlake Estates project to the Lakeside Sanitation District for service of up to 62 residential units. ACTION: ON MOTION of Director Jacob, seconded by Director Slater, the Board of Directors took action as recommended, on Consent.
AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn
There being no further business, the Board adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
