WATER WORKS DISTRICT NO. 1 Staff Report

To: Honorable Board of Directors

From: Neal Hay, Director of Development Services

Department: Development Services

Subject: Adoption of plans and specifications and authorization of solicitation for bids for the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs Project GF44001628R

Recommendation It is recommended that the Board of Directors adopts the project plans and specifications and authorizes the solicitation of bids for the construction of the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs Project, GF44001628R. Background In 2004, the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 2572 requiring all water suppliers to have water meters installed on customer connections by January 1, 2025. The law requires all metered services billed at a metered rate, so that water bills reflect water consumption. Metering promotes water efficiency, reduces vulnerability to drought, and provides water savings through the identification and repair of leaks in the distribution system. The community of Robbins does not have the meters installed, allowing per–connection water use to go unmeasured. The substantial water usage of the Robbins Community has increased the water treatment costs and shortened the useful life of equipment that is costly to replace. Fixed costs associated with small Water Treatment Systems are similar to larger systems, which results in higher monthly rates for the members of the small community. Larger treatment systems benefit from a more favorable economy of scale, where the fixed costs to operate the system are distributed over a large population. The current flat rate monthly water bill is $70 for a single-family residence in Robbins. The average water usage in Robbins from 2001 to 2018 is approximately 335 gallons per person per day. This equates to over 3 times the national average of 80 to 100 gallons per person per day. For comparison, the average monthly water usage in Robbins was evaluated with the Yuba City fee structure. A single-family residence in Yuba City can pay as little as $35.84 per month for water if the usage is under the 15 Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF), or 11,220 gallons per month, base allotment. The 11,220 gallons per month baseline equates to just under 100 gallons per person per day, for a family of 4. The calculated 2001 to 2018 monthly average Robbins water bill would be approximately $102 per month using the Yuba City fee structure. The calculated monthly average water bill during the peak-use (summer) months in Robbins would be approximately $136 per month using the Yuba City fee structure. With Yuba City having more residents to distribute the fixed costs of their water system, Yuba City is able

2

Packet Pg. 4

to benefit from a more favorable economy of scale. Actual water rates in Robbins may be higher once data is gathered to create a metered rate for the small water system. The $1,060,000 construction loan with 100% principal forgiveness has been authorized by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) that provides for the design and construction to install water meters and repair water mains in the community of Robbins. The grant covers 100% of the projected costs associated with the installation of the water meters and mains, including Department staff time. The project involves the installation of 93 new water meters to comply with Water Code Section 527(a)(1), repairs to the water lateral lines, and replacement of approximately 1,700 feet of failing water main lines in the small disadvantaged community (DAC) and economically distressed area (EDA) of the County’s Rural Community of Robbins. After the installation of the water meters, data will be collected before implementing a metered rate to comply with AB 2572. Robbins water users will continue to have a flat rate during a 12-month data collection period. Following the 12-month data collection period, users will receive a flat rate for the next three months along with the following information: monthly water usage, and information showing what their bill would be at the future metered rate based on the monthly water use. The data will allow the Robbins water customers to make informed decisions about their water usage. Discussion The Department, with the assistance of Domenichelli & Associates, Inc., has prepared the Plans and Specifications for the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs Project. The project includes the installation of 93 new water meters, repairs to the water lateral lines, and replacement of approximately 1,700 feet of water main lines. The Plans and Specifications for these improvements are available for viewing at the Department. Project construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019, with the contract and the inspection administered by Department staff. Prior Board Action February 12, 2019: Approval of an Independent Contractor Agreement in the amount of $92,730.00 to Domenichelli & Associates, Inc. for the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs Project, and authorization for the Director of Development Services to execute and administer the Agreement. November 13, 2018: Authorization to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design for the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs Project. March 13, 2018: Authorization to accept Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Agreement Number D17-02070 for the Robbins Water Meter Installation and Water Main Repairs in the amount of $1,060,000; and authorized the Director of Development Services to sign and execute all associated grant documents for the project. March 23, 2017: Adoption of an updated Resolution for the grant application. December 6, 2016: Authorized the submittal of the grant application; adopted resolution authorizing the Director of Development Services to sign and execute all associated grant documents; approved the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the Project. Board Alternatives Various alternatives were considered, however not authorizing the solicitation of bids would delay the delivery of the project. The recommended action best serves the County in proceeding with the project. Other Department and/or Agency Involvement Sutter County Waterworks District No. 1 obtained a construction loan with 100% principal forgiveness

Packet Pg. 5

through the State Water Resources Control Board. Action Following Approval The Department will solicit bids for approximately 30 days and will open bids in July 2019. The Department will return before the Board of Directors to recommend a construction contract be awarded to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder. Fiscal Impact The estimated project costs for design and construction is $1,060,000 and is included in the Adopted Budget FY 2018-19, as well as the Requested Budget FY 2019-20, account 4400-01-54200, Structures and Improvements, Project ledger C194400001. A construction loan for the estimated project with 100% principal forgiveness was obtained through the State Water Resources Control Board. Countywide Goals & Top Priorities Compliance Providing the community of Robbins improved water services supports the following:

• Goal E: Provide and enhance public infrastructure, including essential water, wastewater, other utilities, transportation systems (including “Farm to Market” roads), and achieve best possible flood protection for entire County region, including upgrading necessary levees to obtain reasonable flood insurance coverage to all residents, businesses, and property owners.

Standing Committee Review At the Public Works/Support Services Committee meeting of June 13, 2019, this item was reviewed and recommended for placement on the consent calendar for the Board of Supervisors. Respectfully Submitted, s/ Neal Hay
