($<Amount in Numerals>), including authorized expense reimbursements, or as otherwise specified in Exhibit A. Any authorized Additional Services will be paid for based on the Rate Schedule. No other compensation for the Services will be allowed except for items covered by subsequent amendments to this Agreement.

7.2 Payment will occur only after receipt by City of invoices sufficiently detailed to include hours performed, hourly rates, and related activities and costs for approval by City.
7.3 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any applicable progress payment request, City will verify the accuracy of the request, correct the charges where appropriate, and make payment to Consultant in an amount equal to the amount of such application, as verified or corrected by City.

City reserves the right to withhold payment from Consultant on account of Services not performed satisfactorily, delays in Consultant's performance of Services, or other defaults hereunder.
8. Status of Consultant.
8.1 Consultant will perform the Services in Consultant's own way, by controlling the manner and means of the work City needs completed, and pursuant to this Agreement as an independent contractor and in pursuit of Consultant's independent calling, and not as an employee of City. The persons used by Consultant to provide the Services under this Agreement will not be considered employees of City for any purposes whatsoever.
8.2 The payment made to Consultant pursuant to the Agreement will be the full and complete compensation to which Consultant is entitled. City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Consultant or its agents, employees or subconsultants. City will not pay any workers' compensation insurance, retirement contributions or unemployment contributions on behalf of Consultant or its employees or subconsultants. Consultant agrees to indemnify and pay City within thirty (30) days for any tax, retirement contribution, social security, overtime payment, unemployment payment or workers' compensation payment, including, but not limited to, those based on any provision of the Federal Affordable Care Act, which City may be required to make on behalf of Consultant or any agent, employee, or subconsultant of Consultant for work done under this Agreement. At the City’s election, City may deduct the amounts paid pursuant to this Section, from any balance owing to Consultant.
9. Subcontracting. Consultant's services are being requested by City because they are unique and personal. Except as may be specified in Exhibit A, Consultant will not subcontract any portion of the Services without prior written approval of City Manager or his/her designee. If Consultant subcontracts any of the Services, Consultant will be fully responsible to City for the acts, errors and omissions of Consultant's subconsultant and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subconsultant, as Consultant is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Consultant. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subconsultant of Consultant and City.
Consultant will be responsible for payment of subconsultants. Consultant will bind every subconsultant and every subconsultant of a subconsultant by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Consultant's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.
10. Other Consultants. The City reserves the right to employ other consultants in connection with the Project or the Services.
11. Indemnification. Consultant agrees to indemnify, including the cost to defend, City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees from any and all claims, demands, costs or liability (collectively, “Liability”) that arise out of, or pertain to, or relate to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Consultant and its agents in the performance of Services under this Agreement, but this indemnity does not apply to Liability caused by the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of City. This indemnification obligation is not limited by any limitation on the amount or type of damages available under Exhibit "B"

any applicable insurance coverage and will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any Liability arising from or caused during the term of the Agreement.
12. Insurance. Consultant will obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the Services by Consultant or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is required to have a current Best's Key Rating of not less than "A:VII."
12.1 Coverages and Limits. Consultant will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Consultant's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Consultant. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the above-designated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance. Consultant will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If Consultant believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Consultant will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Consultant deems adequate, at Consultant's sole expense.
12.1.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $2,000,000 combined single-limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.

12.1.3 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability. Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance will not be required if Consultant has no employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.
12.1.4 Professional Liability. Errors and omissions liability appropriate to Consultant’s profession with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per claim. The professional liability insurance must include prior acts coverage.
12.2 Endorsements. For Commercial General Liability Insurance, Consultant will ensure that the policies are endorsed to name the City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees as additional insureds. Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Consultant will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.
12.3 Cancellation. Insurance will be in force during the life of the Agreement and any extensions of it and will not be canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to City sent pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
12.4 Failure to Maintain Coverage. If Consultant fails to maintain any of these insurance coverages, then City will have the option to declare Consultant in breach of this Agreement, or may purchase replacement insurance or pay the premiums that are due on existing policies in order to maintain the required coverages. Consultant is responsible for any payments made by City to obtain or maintain insurance and City may collect these payments from Consultant or deduct the amount paid from any sums due Consultant under this Agreement.

Failure to fully comply with the Health Laws constitutes a material default, subject to all available remedies including suspension or termination.
22. Discrimination and Harassment Prohibited. Consultant will comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination and harassment.
23. Termination. In the event of the Consultant's failure to prosecute, deliver, or perform the Services, City may terminate this Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Consultant in writing pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement. Consultant has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement. City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Consultant has Exhibit "B"

Either Party, upon tendering thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the other Party, may terminate this Agreement for convenience. In this event and upon request of City, Consultant will assemble the work product without charge and put it in order for proper filing and closing and deliver it to City. Consultant will be paid for work performed to the termination date; however, the total will not exceed the lump sum fee payable under this Agreement. City will make the final determination as to the portions of tasks completed and the compensation to be made.

For breach or violation of this warranty, City will have the right to terminate this Agreement for nonperformance, or, in its discretion, to deduct from the Agreement price or consideration, or otherwise recover, the full amount of the fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fees, gift, or contingent fee.
25. Claims And Lawsuits. By signing this Agreement, Consultant agrees that any Agreement claim submitted to City must be asserted as part of the Agreement process as set forth in this Agreement and not in anticipation of litigation or in conjunction with litigation. Consultant acknowledges that if a false claim is submitted to City by Consultant, it may be considered fraud and Consultant may be subject to criminal prosecution. Consultant acknowledges that California Government Code sections 12650 et seq., the False Claims Act, applies to this Agreement and, provides for civil penalties where a person knowingly submits a false claim to a public entity.
26. Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action at law or in equity brought by either of the Parties for the purpose of enforcing a right or rights provided for by this Agreement will be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Contra Costa, State of California, and the Parties waive all provisions of law providing for a change of venue in these proceedings to any other county.

30. Waivers. The waiver by either Party of any breach or violation of any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement or of any applicable law will not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, condition or law or of any subsequent breach or violation of same or of any other term, covenant, condition or law. The acceptance by either Party of any fee or other payment which may become due under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach or violation by the other Party of any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement or any applicable law.

The minimum required Total Solids (TS) after dewatering for this project is 18%.
2.2 - Centrifuge
The centrifuge size has been picked to match the BioDryer loading time. Taking into account the original RFP required the centrifuge to be sized on the current WAS load, with an average (homogenized) inlet solids content of approximately 0.75% TS, and with a target of a minimum dry solids content output of 18%.
The City Of Brentwood is requesting to account for a second centrifuge placement to handle the future load. Only the provision of the centrifuge is required while the actual centrifuge will be procured at a later time.
2.3 - BioDryer
The layout developed by Bioforcetech is currently showing eight BioDryers being installed with the provision of adding two more units in the future. The eight biodryer are required to handle only the current solids load, as shown in Table 1, while the two extra units will be required and installed when the future load will be achieved.
Even if the extra two BioDryers are for future needs, the utility connections, in terms of conduits, water, and drainage, will be incorporated into this first design phase.
2.4 - Pyrolysis
The current scope and layout is showing two pyrolysis units to be delivered into this initial design phase.
The two pyrolysis are sized to be able to handle the future load, as per Table 1.
The reason behind the decision of sizing the pyrolysis on future load is that the WWTP will need two units even to handle the current load.
2.5 - NFPA Classification
NFPA 820 is a set of standards developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for fire protection in wastewater treatment and collection facilities.

3 - Preliminary Design
3.1 - Centrifuge
The centrifuge capability will be sized to handle the future WAS biosolids production, with the main flow of the centrifuge being driven by the Biodryer loading cycle. In particular, the current centrifuge is sized to operate 3,476 hours per year with an inlet flow of 240 GPM. For expansion a second centrifuge of the same model would be advised.
3.2 - BioDryer
The BioDryer will be sized to handle the current WAS biosolids production with the space allocation required to install the necessary units when the future WAS biosolids production will occur. This allows the city to avoid a capital cost immediately and accurately monitor production growth.
In the layout eight BioDryers are shown to represent the current production and two empty slots are left for future production.
Each BioDryer has a maximum batch capacity of 26,000 lb and can dry Biosolids from an initial solid content of 18% to a final Biosolids solid content of up to 92%. While the BioDryers are coupled with a pyrolysis, a target goal of 80% solid content is desired.
3.3 - Pyrolysis
The pyrolysis units are already sized to handle the future WAS biosolids production. The reasoning is that one unit would not be sufficient to handle the current production, therefore two units will be installed and work at reduced capacity until the future growth is present. The turndown of the pyrolysis unit is up to 50% of the maximum design capacity of 250 lb/h.

6 - Operator Access
All pumps, junction boxes, and necessary access points for the BioDryer & Airskid, Pyrolysis, and other miscellaneous systems will be easily accessible for operators. However some components for material transportation between machines will be out of reach of operators.
For example:
The inclined conveyors (54-WSC-02-INCL, 54-DSC -01-W, 54-DSC -01-W, & 54-DSC-02-E) will have partial access with a portion of the component requiring a scissor lift for maintenance. (E-Stop accessible) The elevated conveyors (54-WSC-03-HORI, 54-WSC-04-W, 54-WSC-05-E, 54-DSC-03-SOLIDS) will be entirely out of reach from ground level and require a scissor lift for any access. (E-Stop inaccessible without tools) However the screw conveyors atop the BioDryer (54-WSC-06-WT & 54-WSC-06-RT) will be accessible by the catwalk attached to the BioDryer.

1 B. GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS
Water Works was formed 18 years ago in 2005 by engineers who believed that water and wastewater engineering and consulting could be done a better way by combining the best attributes of large and small firms: the technical expertise of a large firm and efficiency and personal attention of a small one.
Our vision was the formation and growth of a new kind of engineering firm, a firm built on providing exceptional client service from highly experienced engineers in a “hands-on” highly interactive and enjoyable environment.
To accomplish our vision, Water Works Engineers and all our teaming partners provide high-level staffing on every project with a leaner overall firm structure that is focused on delivering high quality work for client-specific needs. We focus solely on collection, conveyance, water/wastewater treatment, water, and recycled water systems infrastructure design and construction management. This focus makes us efficient, keeps us up to date, and allows us to provide the highest level of service. Our focus and work approach allow us to provide high-quality products very efficiently. We take great pride in the fact that we don’t just create documents, we facilitate projects.
This focus and approach have fueled a consistent increase in our clients and projects, with 10 offices and 95 employees with approximately $30M in yearly revenue. By focusing exclusively on water and wastewater engineering, Water Works provides focused expertise rather than the broad umbrella approach of many other civil engineering firms. It is with these core values in mind that we assembled our team for this project.
Based on our experiences, we strongly believe that
people execute projects, not firms. For that reason, the Water Works team is committing high quality, senior
staff and subconsultants with in-depth experience
directly relevant to this project. The entire project team is a consortium of experienced professionals who have
been directly involved in the planning, design and
construction management for a similar biosolids
dewatering, BioDrying and pyrolysis project.
This project will be managed by Joe Ziemann out of our
Roseville office with engineering and CAD support
from our Redding and San Mateo offices. Our
subconsultants are based out of Redding (BajadaGeotech), Folsom (Frisch-Electrical) and Roseville (CWE-Surveying). All staff and subconsultants will be
available for in-person meetings, field visits, and
inspections as needed.
Water Works’ team is uniquely qualified to provide the
services required for this project. We recently
completed the design a similar project for the City of
Redding and are one of only two firms in the country that have designed facilities using Bioforcetech’s equipment that has been constructed, and the only experienced team local to Northern California. In addition, our firm as a whole and subconsultants have extensive experience designing all aspects of wastewater treatment systems and the associated site civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and controls elements.

2 C. EXPERIENCE
Since our inception in 2005, Water Works Engineers has had the honor of working on a wide variety of engineering projects related to water and wastewater, often with cutting edge and innovative technologies. We’re also one of only 2 firms in the US that have completed designs around Bioforcetech’ s equipment for BioDrying and pyrolysis that have gone into construction. Previous services similar in scope and nature to those requested for this project are summarized below.
Clear Creek WWTP Biosolids Dewatering Project
City of Redding, 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, CA 96001
Ryan Bailey, Assistant Director of Public Works, (530) 224-6030, [email protected] Water Works Engineers prepared a Preliminary
Design Report which evaluated several mechanical
and solar drying technologies, including screw
presses, belt filter presses, rotary fan presses, and
centrifuges to move away from their using
facultative sludge lagoons (FSLs) and sludge
drying beds for biosolids treatment and drying.
The City selected continued use of the FSLs for
emergency biosolids storage and centrifuges for
dewatering.
Water Works Engineers then designed a new 2-
story dewatering building to include two loadout
bays and a polymer room on the first floor. The
second floor included two centrifuges (expandable to four), foul air fans, and a conditioned control room. Horizontal and low-incline shaftless screw conveyors were used to transport dewatered solids from the centrifuges to the loadout bays, and loadout conveyors with multiple discharge gates were used for even filling of the trailers without operator attention. A new soil biofilter adjacent to the building was designed to treat the foul air exhausted from the centrifuges, centrate wetwell, conveyors, and loadout area. Roof hatches in the building were included to allow the centrifuges to be installed during initial construction and future expansions, and also for irregular maintenance. Joe Riess was the lead civil and mechanical engineer for this project, and Frisch Engineering provided the design for electrical and controls. This team was also subsequently awarded the Construction Management portion of the project.
This project is very similar to what the City of Brentwood is planning for the new Centrifuge Building and biofilter, and our experience during design and construction of this project are directly relevant to the Brentwood project.

3 Clear Creek WWTP Phase 1 Biodrying and Pyrolysis Project City of Redding, 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, CA 96001
Josh Vandiver, Wastewater Utility Manager, (530) 224-6069, [email protected] Stefano Pessina, CTO/VP Engineering for Bioforcetech, (650) 954-0053, [email protected] In March of 2020, Water Works Engineers
completed the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Biosolids Master Plan Update for the City.
The purpose of this Biosolids Master Plan was
to evaluate the biosolids disposal options
available to the City in terms of capital costs,
operating costs, and other non‐cost
considerations to determine the preferred
disposal method to pursue in the future to
replace as an alternative to landfill disposal
of biosolids. Of the alternatives evaluated
(land application, incineration, Lystek,
pyrolysis and contracted land application), pyrolysis has the lowest total net present value and second lowest annual operating cost, and also resulted in a marketable product: Biochar. Therefore, the Biosolids Master Plan recommended that the City consider implementing a pilot-scale drying and pyrolysis system at the Clear Creek WWTP to gain operating experience and prove out the technology on their waste stream prior to constructing a full-scale pyrolysis facility.
In late 2020, Water Works Engineers was
contracted to design the pilot-scale pyrolysis
facility at the Clear Creek WWTP, assist with
permitting (air quality and Building
Permitting) and provide engineering
services during construction. Prior to starting
final design, a study was conducted to
identify and compare the available pyrolysis
systems and manufacturers. It was determined at least 3 pyrolysis manufacturers could potentially provide the necessary equipment and a request for proposals and specifications were prepared to allow the City to pre-select and pre-purchase the equipment to be designed around. The City selected Bioforcetech, which proposed a system including three BioDryers and one pyrolysis system.
Water Works Engineers coordinated closely with the City and Bioforcetech through a series of meetings and workshops to determine the facility layout, constraints, and features. The resulting design included the following key elements:
• Replacement of existing screw conveyor in dewatering building to supply the new BioDryers with dewatered biosolids
• Elevated walkway for conveyor, odor control ductwork, and other utilities to span a driving aisle and coordinate with Bioforcetech conveyors
• Slab-on-grade for new Bioforcetech equipment
• Solids receiving station (to receive dried biosolids from other sources for testing) • Biochar bagging area with canopy for weather protection • Electrical Building for control panels
• New electric service
• Associated site civil, yard piping and electrical work Exhibit "C"

4 The design was completed for Phase 1 (3
BioDryers and 1 pyrolysis unit), but
provisions include to expand to 6
BioDryers in Phase 2 and up to 12
BioDryers and 2 pyrolysis units in Phases 3
and 4. 3D CAD files were provided by
Bioforcetech for their equipment and
integrated into our designs, which was
essential for utility coordination and
conflict avoidance. In turn, as we revised
our design, we sent Bioforcetech 3D
models back of our slab and elevated
walkway designs.
The project is under construction and will be completed in early 2024. Water Works Engineers is the also the Construction Manager for this project.
This project is very similar to what the City of Brentwood is planning for the new BioDryers and pyrolysis systems, and our experience during design and construction of this project are directly relevant to the Brentwood project. Additionally, we are proposing to use the same project team so there will be a very short learning curve on this project. Our experience in design and construction during this project forged a solid and efficient working relationship with Bioforcetech that we hope to continue during the City’s project.
Other Relevant Projects
The Bioforcetech approach using BioDryers and pyrolysis is new and there are very few engineering consulting firms with experience designing projects with their equipment. Our team is fortunate to have this experience under our belt that can be readily applied to the City of Brentwood’s project. In addition to the City of Redding projects described above, our team has extensive experience with other biosolids conveyance, dewatering, odor control, structural design and electrical design projects that are similar in scope to this project, although using different technologies. Information on additional relevant projects can be provided upon request or discussed in an interview setting if desired by the City.
We assume the City has visited Bioforcetech’s demonstration facility at the Silicon Valley Clean Water WWTP in Redwood City. We would be happy to also host a site visit to the City of Redding’s Clear Creek WWTP to see another example of a Bioforcetech installation if the City is interested at any point of the project, even if we’re not selected for the project.

Kickoff Meeting and Data Collection
The provide the services required to complete this project, our proposed approach begins with a kickoff meeting at the project site with key project team members. The focus of this meeting is to introduce the project team, review the project objectives, identify project constraints and City preferences, City Standards and Specifications, review Bioforcetech’s scope of supply, familiarize the team with the existing treatment plant layout, and establish a solid starting point for preliminary design activities. During this meeting, we will want to review the existing WAS pumping, natural gas, electrical and SCADA systems and discuss options for integrating them with the proposed facilities. The proposed site for the new facility will be visited and constraints identified for raising the grade, including any interfering utilities, roadways, paths, etc. We will review existing chemical storage and feed facilities and truck access routes and schedules to assist with the new facility design. As-built drawings for the WWTP and all relevant historical data will be requested. The overall intent is that after this kickoff meeting, the project team will have a clear path to follow into preliminary design and can get right to work.

14 Topographic Survey and Geotechnical Services
Following the kickoff meeting, and after any decisions must be made to lock in the location and footprint of the new facilities, topographic survey and geotechnical investigations will be conducted at the site. This work will happen very early in the process to help identify utility locations and conflicts and serve as the basis for the site and structural designs.
If accurate as-built drawings are not available for any mechanical items for WAS conveyance (i.e. WAS pumps, piping, etc.) that will need to be modified under this project, Water Works Engineers will use our 3D LiDAR scanner to scan the WAS pumping facility. By utilizing the point cloud from the LiDAR scan, we can accurately model the existing pumps, piping, valves, etc. for inclusion in the Contact Documents.
The geotechnical services are divided into four tasks, as summarized below.
A more detailed description of the geotechnical services scoped will be provided upon request.
1. Pre-exploration
2. Subsurface exploration:
a. Two (2) exploratory drill holes to 50-feet
b. Six (6) electric cone penetration tests
3. Laboratory testing
4. Geotechnical analyses
5. Reporting:
a. Draft and Final reports)
Data Evaluation and Preliminary Design
Data collected during and after the kickoff meeting will be evaluated to confirm current and projected WAS pumping rates, electrical system capacities, natural gas system capacity, utility locations, vehicle paths of travel, and any other evaluations necessary for a complete design. We will work with the City and Bioforcetech to identify any conflicts related to the location and installation of the new prepurchased equipment. We will also coordinate with the City and Bioforcetech to obtain accurate shop drawings for the new equipment to clearly show the scope of Bioforcetech’s supply, points of connection for contractor-furnished items, and items that will be shipped loose for installation by the contractor. Of all the coordination items with Bioforcetech, this is the most critical to ensure that nothing gets left out of the design that may surface during construction as a change order.
The data and evaluations will be included in the Preliminary Design Report (PDR). The PDR will be prepared in draft form, reviewed by our QA/QC lead, and a meeting scheduled with the City to review the draft PDR. The goal is for all major design elements, evaluated data, and design criteria be identified and documented in the PDR, including construction cost estimate, Bioforcetech equipment information, utility requirements, geotechnical considerations and initial facility renderings produced for City’s review, input and buy-in. The PDR will include 3D renderings, plans and sections of the new facility and major Bioforcetech equipment along with the site grading and structural slab, and draft P&IDs.
During PDR development, our team will strive to identify value adding opportunities that will either reduce construction costs, improve plant operations and reliability, or both. For example, depending on the City’s preference for chemical storage and feed system layout, the new Centrifuge facility or Biochar Canopy could be designed to house the chemicals rather than locate them outside on the main slab as shown in Bioforcetech’s conceptual layout. Additionally, the odor control ductwork from Exhibit "C"

C i t y o f B r e n t w o o d
B i o s o l i d s D r y e r P r o j e c t
15 the BioDryers to the scrubbers could be revised to be installed the slab to improve access and allow the scrubbers to be located adjacent to each other, potentially manifolding the two headers together to provide redundancy in case one scrubber is out of service. We understand that the Bioforcetech equipment has been pre-purchased, but there may be room to improve the layout and reduce costs with minor modifications to the conveyor and duct layout.
Comments received by the City and Bioforcetech on the Draft PDR will be reviewed and incorporated into the final PDR which will be the basis for moving forward with final design activities.
Contract Documents
Water Works’ team will prepare the necessary contract documents (construction plans, typical details, specifications, 3D renderings and cost estimates) for the project, based on the design criteria and recommendations included in the Preliminary Design Report. The preparation of contract documents will be completed in three submittals: 60%, 90% and 100% Design Submittals. Prior to each submittal, the work product will be reviewed through our QA/QC process and, upon submittal to the City, will have been reviewed and revised in accordance with the QA/QC plan. Submittal of the 60% and 90% review documents will occur at design review meetings with the entire project team. The contents of the submittals will be presented to City to familiarize the group with the information being submitted and the design thought process behind the work. Following the design review meetings, we anticipate a 2-week City review period to provide any additional comments which were not brought forward during the design review meetings.
A preliminary drawing list and specifications table of contents were not included for the sake of brevity but can be included if requested.
60% Design Submittal
The 60% Design Submittal build off of the PDR and will communicate to the City the project design so that meaningful discussion can take place and the core project decisions can be made as a group.
Water Works will use a combination of 2D design drawings, 3-dimensional CADD models, manufacturers’ information and other communication tools to allow the City an opportunity for significant input into the design process. The following deliverables will be provided by City with this submittal:
• 60% Design Drawings (PDF)
• 60% Calculations
• 60% Technical Specifications
• 60% Cost Estimate
90% Design Submittal

Jim is a Principal Engineering Geologist with more than 40 years of experience in managing and providing engineering geologic services for complex geotechnical projects located in Oregon, Nevada, throughout California, and in the former Soviet Union. He specializes in managing multifaceted, detailed geotechnical studies for difficult access sites and characterization of complex, geologically impacted sites.
Representative Project Experience
The following are two brief project descriptions that highlight Jim s experience:
Coastal Aqueduct Extension (Phase II) of the California State Water Project.
Jim was the manager of geotechnical services and responsible engineering geologist for the design of the Central Coast Water Authority s components of the Coastal Aqueduct Extension (Phase II) of the California State Water Project. This project included 73 miles of large-diameter flexible pipeline, three 2-million-gallon prestressed concrete tanks, a 40-million gallon-per-day water treatment plant, a pump station, a scour evaluation of the pipeline crossing of the Santa Maria River, and a microtunnel alignment beneath the Santa Ynez River.
Calgren Biogas Pipeline Studies. Jim managed geotechnical services for the evaluation of over 120,000 lineal feet of new biogas pipeline in the Pixley area of Tulare County. The project included multiple crossings of roadways and irrigation ditches. Those services included evaluation of viable trenchless crossing methods along with consultation with the Contractor and client to reduce construction costs by selectively utilizing soils encountered along the alignments as pipe zone backfill materials.
Bay Point Sewer Pipeline Rehabilitation Project. Jim managed BAJADA s services to provide geotechnical engineering services for the rehabilitation of about 7,100 lineal feet of structurally deficient wastewater pipeline that is operated and maintained by Delta Diablo Sanitation. A total of 25 pipeline segments located over a relatively wide portion of the Bay Point area were evaluated. The rehabilitation methods consisted of removal and replacement and cured-in-placepipeline lining. The pipelines were being replaced with the same diameter pipelines or being upsized by 2 to 4 inches.
Westside Interceptor Project. Jim managed BAJADA s services to provided design-level geotechnical services for a new 48-inch diameter sewer pipeline extending from Girvan Road to the City of Redding s Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The salignment extended extend for a distance of about 3,000 feet tat depths ranging from about 12 to 28 feet. Loose granular sediments and shallow groundwater pose difficult design and construction conditions fo rthe proposed pipeline.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - Phase II 592-59140 Description/Justification:
The existing 5 MGD tertiary treatment facility was planned and constructed to accommodate future expansions, of up to 10 MGD. The original facility was designed based on 100 GPD per capita flow but the average flow in the last several years has been 69 GPD per capita. The Phase II Expansion is designed to treat 6.4 MGD flow based on 69 GPD per capita, which will service the final buildout population of the City per the current General Plan. The project includes the addition of one diffused air oxidation basin, retrofit of existing oxidation ditches to diffused air, secondary clarifiers, converting chlorine contact facilities to free chlorine disinfection, solids dryer and pyrolysis system, Electrical Distribution System Upgrade and all related appurtenances. This project is necessary to keep the City in compliance with more stringent discharge requirements. The expansion will also accommodate the planned and approved development within the City.

Be Exceptional is requesting a fee waiver in the amount of $25,000 for FY 2023/24.

BACKGROUND
The City of Brentwood Parks, Trails & Recreation Master Plan Update includes several recommendations regarding program accessibility for individuals with disabilities. The recommendations in Section 2.3 of the Master Plan are as follows:
Develop and receive City Council approval of an Inclusion Policy that is committed to following the guidelines set forth by Title VI and the ADA to ensure that all programs, activities, and services, when viewed in their entirety, are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Continue to provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in inclusive programs as well as programs specifically designed for persons with disabilities.
Coordinate with Contra Costa County to explore options for subsidized transportation to future programming for those with special needs.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.9
11/14/2023
Expand inclusion programming to allow participants the opportunity for more “hands on” job training classes to improve their potential for finding employment.
Explore potential cooperative agreements with other Contra Costa County communities to provide programming opportunities for the developmentally disabled including summer programs, after school programs, independent living programs, and job training programs specific to youth with disabilities.
The Parks and Recreation Department partners with Be Exceptional, a non-profit organization that provides recreational classes and social events for kids, teens and adults with special needs. Be Exceptional has been providing activities for individuals with disabilities at the Brentwood Community Center dating back to March 2021.
Activities have included dance, tumbling, fitness, cheerleading, social skills, skateboarding and events such as parties and dances.
As outlined in the City’s Use of Funds 10-12 Policy (Attachment 2):
“Fee waiver and/or fee reduction requests over $5,000 must be approved by City Council. These requests will be brought to Council through a staff report/request prepared by the Department Director. In the event a cumulative total of fees waived reach $5,000 for a single organization in any fiscal year, all further requests require City Council approval.”

Special consideration will be given to events for which matching funds have been secured.
Requests for funding must be made in writing by using the application form.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.10
11/14/2023
SUBJECT: Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1064, Amending the City Council Signature Policy
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney’s Office
STAFF: Damien Brower, City Attorney
TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1064 amending the City Council Signature Authority Policy (10-13) to revise the signature authority of the City Attorney for legal service and personnel investigative service agreements from $50,000 to $75,000.
As the proposed change to the Policy will not cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, it is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and thus no environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with this item, as moneys spent for legal and personnel investigative services will still need to have been previously budgeted before being expended.
BACKGROUND
State law generally requires that the mayor sign all written contracts and conveyances made or entered into by the City. However, the City Council may, by passage of an ordinance, provide that this authority be delegated to an officer other than the mayor. (Government Code § 40602.) The purpose of the City’s Signature Authority Policy (“Policy”) is thus to allow specific City employees to enter into certain agreements, and to sign other documents on the City’s behalf without first taking them to the City Council for approval.
The Policy has been in place since at least 2006; most California cities have similar policies. Among other things, the Policy helps reduce the number of standard agreements that must be reviewed and approved by the City Council, allowing for greater operational efficiencies.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. E.10
11/14/2023
Since the adoption of the Policy in 2006, the City Attorney’s annual signature authority for individual legal services agreements that are not paid for by third party deposit accounts has been set at $50,000. This amount has mirrored the City Manager’s signature authority for general City agreements.
With increased inflation over the past several years, costs for most goods and services have increased throughout the State, and the rates for outside attorneys and personnel investigators have been no exception.
The proposed ordinance would amend the Policy to increase the City Attorney’s annual signature authority for legal service and personnel investigator agreements from $50,000 to $75,000 per agreement. The signature authority for other City Attorney’s Office agreements would remain at $50,000. If approved, this would be the first increase for these types of agreements in 17 years.
Specifically, the proposed amendment would revise the first paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Policy as follows:
4.1 General. For purposes related to legal services and the activities and functions of the City Attorney’s Office, the City Attorney is granted the same authority as the City Manager as set forth in section 3.1.1, up to $50,000; and for legal services and personnel investigative services, up to $75,000.
There are no other proposed revisions to the Policy.
A copy of the current Policy is attached to this report for the City Council’s reference.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
As the proposed change to the Policy will not cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, it is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and thus no environmental review is necessary.
