AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1
DATE: July 26, 2022
TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement No. 9315-21-PW with Econolite Systems Incorporated for Traffic Signal Preventive, Emergency and Non-Emergency Maintenance Services. (0/5/5)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a First Amendment to Agreement 9315-21-PW with Econolite Systems Incorporated to increase the not to exceed amount from $200,000 to $300,000 for traffic signal preventive, emergency and non- emergency maintenance services.
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/MWRsHuHZxJM
BACKGROUND
The City is responsible for the maintenance and operation of traffic signals, flashing beacons, and driver speed feedback radar signs on City-maintained roads.
The City of Oxnard did not send out a Request for Proposal (RFP) but rather used a City of Thousand Oaks solicitation for signal maintenance services. In 2020, after a two-month RFP process, the City of Thousand Oaks received signal maintenance proposals on April 15, 2020 from three companies as follows:
• Siemens Systems
• Econolite Systems Incorporated (Econolite)
• Crosstown Electrical, Inc
After review of the submitted proposals and a follow-up interview, their evaluation team unanimously determined that Econolite submitted the best proposal, gave the best presentation and answers during the interview, and provided the lowest cost among the participating companies.
In July 2021, the City of Oxnard signed an agreement (9315-21-PW) with Econolite using a “piggy-back” option contained within the City of Thousand Oaks solicitation for signal maintenance services. The agreement was authorized by the City Manager for the initial amount of agreement not to exceed $200,000. To date, the City has spent approximately $130,000 on the existing agreement with Econolite and is expected to exceed $200,000 by December 2022. As such, we are requesting City Council approval to increase the contract amount to $300,000 total. The current agreement expiration date is June 30, 2023.
8 Please note that on June 14, 2022, this Committee approved and recommended Council approval of an agreement related to “repair” services for traffic signals that was awarded to another vendor. The agreement in this report relates to “maintenance” services of traffic signals.
DISCUSSION
Per the scope of the services, Econolite is required to provide all required tools, equipment, apparatus, facilities, and material to perform all work necessary to maintain the traffic signal equipment, flashing beacons, and driver speed feedback signs in compliance with current City/Caltrans standards and specifications.
Econolite will perform routine maintenance services by qualified personnel at a preset rate per intersection and extraordinary/emergency maintenance services based upon agreed fee schedules.
The primary purpose of the contract is for Econolite to assist the City with carrying on a program of continuing comprehensive maintenance designed to eliminate or reduce the incidence of malfunctions, reduce complaints, and extend the useful life of the traffic signal equipment. The program includes preventive maintenance two times per year for all the signalized intersections.
Projects to be completed by Econolite are categorized as follows:
Scheduled Maintenance Work (primary purpose)
The scope of work and schedule shall be mutually agreed to between City staff and the Econolite before work begins. Work under this category shall be planned and scheduled Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm unless otherwise agreed to by the City.
Non-Scheduled Urgent Repair Work (as-needed)
Econolite must be on the site within two hours of the notification and begin work immediately to the following events:
Any signal controller malfunction
Burned out red or green ball or arrow display
Burned out or malfunctioning Pedestrian Walk Signal Indications
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount of this First Amendment to Agreement 9315-21-PW with Econolite Systems Incorporated shall not exceed $100,000 with a new not to exceed contract amount of $300,000 for traffic signal preventative, emergency, and non-emergency maintenance services.
The annual estimated spending plan is $150,000 per fiscal year. There is sufficient Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget available in the General Fund Traffic Signal Maintenance Division (101-3102-803-8209) for these maintenance services.

SUBJECT: Agreement A-8484 with Weck Laboratories, Inc. for Contract Laboratory Chemical Testing Services. (0/5/5)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the:
1. Mayor to execute Agreement A-8484 with Weck Laboratories, Inc. for a term of one year with the option to extend for two consecutive periods of one year each upon the written agreement of both parties for a maximum possible contract term of three years, and for a total contract not-to-exceed amount over the entire possible contract term of $1,700,000 for laboratory chemical testing services; and

BACKGROUND
The City of Oxnard water, wastewater, and recycled water treatment facilities are required by State and Federal permits to sample and analyze water, wastewater, and recycled water for water quality constituents and provide certified reporting. The Wastewater Division operates a small laboratory that has the ability to perform some of the basic analyses required for water, wastewater, and recycled water constituents. The majority of the regulatory required analyses are performed with expensive instrumentation and use complex, certified methods which make doing these analyses in-house cost prohibited. Therefore, a third party laboratory service is required to analyze samples that the wastewater laboratory cannot. The third party laboratory will provide as- needed analytical testing services as well as report preparation for regulatory authorities. This will ensure compliance with the wastewater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the State Water Resources Control Board, and State Division of Drinking Water (DDW) reporting requirements.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES permit requires testing for the following pollutants:
11 organic compounds and pesticides
11 metals
62 21 carcinogens (cancer-causing)
41 non-carcinogens
The Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) NPDES permit requires testing for the following pollutants:
5 organic compounds and pesticides
18 metals
6 radioactive pollutants
27 volatile organic compounds
33 non-volatile organic compounds
The Water Division DDW permit requires testing for the following pollutants:
11 organic compounds and pesticides
20 metals
6 radioactive pollutants
29 volatile organic compounds
23 non-volatile organic compounds
Bacteriological analysis
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) if necessary
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) if necessary
A copy of the full pollutant testing list is included in the contract lab services agreements.
DISCUSSION
On April 19, 2022, the City’s Purchasing Department, on behalf of the Public Works Department, released Request for Proposal (RFP) PW 22-108 to invite qualified contractors to conduct laboratory chemical testing and sampling for the Water and Wastewater Division. Bid submissions were due May 25, 2022.
The City received a total of three submissions from laboratory firms which included:
1. Weck Laboratories, Inc. (Weck),
2. Pace Analytical Services, LLC,
3. Eurofins Scientific.
An evaluating panel composed of the Wastewater Operations Manager, Wastewater Laboratory Services, and Water Regulatory Compliance Technician selected Weck as the most qualified responsive proposer.
Weck has previously been a reliable source for contract laboratory services.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
63 FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for Agreement A-8484 with Weck shall not exceed $1,700,000 over three years, if extended. The spending plan for FY 2022-23 is $305,000. There is sufficient funding available in the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget in the accounts listed in the table below from the following sources: Wastewater Collection (Fund 611) and Treatment (Fund 621) Operating, Water Operating (Fund 601) and Water Security & Contam.

City’s payment shall not constitute nor be deemed a release of the responsibility and liability of Vendor for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or the Services performed hereunder, nor shall such payment be deemed to be an assumption of responsibility or liability by City for any defect or error in the Services performed by Vendor and its employees, agents and subcontractors. Vendor shall provide City with a completed Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, as issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
If any sales tax is due for the Services performed by Vendor or materials or products provided to City by Vendor, Vendor shall pay the sales tax. City shall not reimburse Vendor for sales taxes paid by Vendor.

No such term or condition shall be binding upon City, and no action by City (including, without limitation, the payment of any such invoice in whole or in part) shall be construed as binding City with respect to any such term or condition, unless the specific term or condition has been previously agreed to by Vendor and City in this Agreement or in a binding amendment thereto.

13. Termination. City may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause and without penalty, upon 15 calendar days’ prior written notice. Such termination shall be effective on the date specified in the notice, or if no date is specified, then 15 calendar days from the date of the notice. Vendor may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause and without penalty, upon 30 calendar days’ prior written notice. Such termination shall be effective on the date specified in the notice, or if no date is specified, then 30 calendar days from the date of notice and only if all assignments accepted by Vendor have been completed before the date of termination.

If City pays for any materials, City shall be entitled to the title and possession of such.
14. Hold Harmless, Defense and Indemnity.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vendor shall immediately defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City, its legislative and advisory bodies, and the City’s officials, directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities regardless of nature, type, or cause, arising out of or resulting from or in connection with Vendor’s performance of this Agreement or Vendor’s failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement. Liabilities subject to the duties to defend and indemnify include, without limitation, all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, and judgments; associated investigation and administrative expenses; defense costs,
67 Agreement No. A-8484
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees; court costs; and costs of alternative dispute resolution.
Vendor’s obligation to indemnify applies unless it is adjudicated that any of the liabilities covered by this Section 15 are the result of the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees.
a. The duty to defend is a separate and distinct obligation from Vendor’s duty to indemnify. Vendor shall be obligated to defend in all legal, equitable, administrative, or special proceedings with counsel approved by the City Attorney im mediately upon tender to Vendor of the claim in any form or at any stage of an action or proceeding, whether or not liability is established. An allegation or determination of negligence or willful misconduct by any of the Indemnitees shall not relieve Vendor from its separate and distinct obligation to defend the Indemnitees.
The obligation to defend extends through final judgment, including exhaustion of any appeals. The defense obligation includes the obligation to provide independent defense counsel if Vendor asserts that liability is caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. If it is finally adjudicated that liability was caused by the sole active negligence or sole willful misconduct of any of the Indemnitees, Vendor may submit a claim to City for reimbursement of reasonable attorneys’ fees and defense costs.
b. The review, acceptance or approval of Vendor’s work or work product by any of the Indemnitees shall not affect, relieve or reduce Vendor’s indemnification or defense obligations. This Section 15 shall survive completion of the Services or termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 15 shall not be restricted by and do not affect the provisions of this Agreement relating to insurance.
15. Insurance. Vendor shall obtain and maintain during the performance of any services under this Agreement the insurance coverages listed within the insurance document stated in “(9) Insurance Coverage” on the Cover Page and in the Insurance Exhibit, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, unless the Risk Manager waives, in writing, the requirement that Vendor obtain and maintain such insurance coverages. Such insurance must be issued by a company satisfactory to the Risk Manager. Vendor shall, before performance of any Services pursuant to this Agreement, file with the Risk Manager evidence of insurance coverage as specified in “(9) Insurance Coverage” on the Cover Page and in the Insurance Exhibit. Maintenance of insurance coverages by Vendor is a material element of this Agreement. Vendor’s failure to maintain or renew insurance coverages or to provide renewal evidence may be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
16. Documents and Materials.
a. All final computations, exhibits, files, plans, correspondence, reports, drawings, designs, data, photographs, specifications, information, images, video files, media, or other deliverables prepared, created, drawn, calculated, photographed or developed by Vendor pu rsuant to this Agreement (“Documents and Materials”) shall be the property without restriction or limitation upon its use, duplication or dissemination by the City. All Documents and Materials shall be considered “works made for hire,” and all Documents and Materials and any and all intellectual property rights arising from their creation, including, but not limited to, all copyrights and other proprietary rights, shall be and remain the property of the City without restriction or limitation upon their use, duplication or dissemination by the City. Vendor shall not obtain or attempt to obtain copyright protection as to any Documents and Materials. Vendor hereby assigns to the City all ownership and any and all intellectual property rights to the Documents and Materials that are not otherwise vested in the City pursuant to this Section 17.
b. Vendor shall deliver all Documents and Materials to City’s Project Manager upon completion of the Services or termination of this Agreement without additional cost or expense to the City. Additionally, anytime at City’s request, City shall be entitled to possession of, and Vendor shall furnish to City’s Project Manager within 10 calendar days, any or all of the Documents and Materials without additional cost or expense to the City. In both situations, if Vendor prepares Documents and Materials on a computer, Vendor shall provide City with said Documents and Materials both in a printed format and in an electronic format that is acceptable to the City. Vendor may retain copies of these Documents and Materials but must request permission from the City before use, duplication or dissemination these Documents and Materials for any purpose other than for the Services provided to the City pursuant to this Agreement.
c. Any substantive modification of the Documents and Materials by City staff or any use of the completed Documents and Materials for other City projects, or any use of uncompleted Documents and Materials, without the written consent of Vendor, shall be at City’s sole risk and without liability or legal exposure to Vendor.
68 Agreement No. A-8484
d. Vendor warrants and represents that it has secured all necessary licenses, consents or approvals to use any instrumentality, thing or component as to which any intellectual property right exists, including computer software, used in the rendering of the Se rvices and the production of all Documents and Materials, and that the City has full legal title to and the right to use, duplicate or disseminate the Documents and Materials. Vendor shall defend, indemnify and hold Indemnitees harmless from any loss, clai m or liability in any way related to a claim that City’s use of any of the Documents and Materials is violating federal, state or local laws, any contractual provisions, or any laws relating to trade names, licenses, franchises, copyrights, patents or other means of protecting intellectual property rights and/or interests in products or inventions. Vendor shall bear all costs arising from the use of patented, copyrighted, trade secret or trademarked documents, materials, equipment, devices or processes in connection with its provision of the services and Documents and Materials. In the event the use of any of the Documents and Materials by the City is held to constitute an infringement and the use of any of the same is enjoined, Vendor, at its own expense, shall: secure for City the right to continue using the Documents and Materials by suspension of any injunction, or by procuring a license or licenses for City; or modify the Documents and Materials so that they become non- infringing while remaining in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.
e. This Section 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17. Confidentiality of Information.
a. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information, in whatever form transmitted, relating to the past, present or future business affairs of the City, including without limitation, (i) technical information, including patent, copyright, trade secret, and other proprietary information, techniques, sketches, drawings, model s, inventions, processes, apparatus, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents, and formulas; or (ii) non- technical information, including without limitation finances, financial and accounting data and information, suppliers, cust omers, customer lists, purchasing data and any other information belonging to the City or to a third party whose information is in the City’s possession or control under obligations of confidentiality, and which is disclosed to Vendor or is developed by Vendor in whole or in part at the City’s expense.
b. All Documents and Materials shall be considered Confidential Information and shall not be reproduced, transmitted, disclosed or used by the Vendor without the written consent of the City, except as may be necessary for Vendor to fulfill its obligations to the City.

d. Vendor shall use reasonable care to protect the Confidential Information. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, City shall be entitled to obtain an injunction prohibiting any such breach, the costs of which shall be paid by Vendor. Any relief granted shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal or equitable relief, including money damages. The parties acknowledge that Confidential Information is valuable and unique and that disclosure of the Confidential Information in breach of this Agreement may result in irreparable injury to the City.
e. Other than an obligation upon the City to deal in good faith, the City makes no warranties and shall bear no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement or for any business decisions made by Vendor in reliance on any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement.
f. This Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Notes:
(1) Methods with the lowest possible detection limit are requested due to very low levels allowable for priority toxic pollutants. (2) Laboratory must have a DDW method approval letter for analysis of compounds per the recycled water policy or be able to gain method approval prior to contract commencement. Methods stated are guidance only and even if used must be approved by CA DDW. Alternate methods can be used if granted DDW approval for use as part of the Recycled water policy - https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/recycled_water/policy.html (3) Additional sample point will be measured monthly, so 2 x 52 samples plus 12 samples per year. (4) There is no standard method for the bioanalytical screening tool assays. Laboratories should develop an SOP consistent with National Water Reuse Guidance and have this SOP and method approved by DDW.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed.
Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s p ractice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that the Consultant/insurer use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the sample accord form.

SUBJECT: City of Oxnard Water Division 2019-2021 Public Health Goals Report. (0/10/5)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council receive and file the 2019-2021 Public Health Goals Report.
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/de4eKINV4so
BACKGROUND
The California Health and Safety Code Section 116470(b) requires large water utilities (more than 10,000 service connections) to prepare a brief written report if their water quality measurements have exceeded any Public Health Goal (PHG) in the three previous calendar years. The PHG report is triennial and completed by July 1 in the year it is due.
The PHG report must include the following: (1) any contaminant that has been detected above the PHG, (2) health risk information on the detected contaminants, (3) an estimated cost associated with installation of the Best Available Technology (BAT) to help reduce the level of a given contaminant, and what action, if any, will be taken to reduce the level of the contaminant and what was the basis for that decision.
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)/ Division of Drinking Water (DDW), uses PHGs in the evaluation of health-related drinking water standards, known as Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). MCLs are enforceable limits that water purveyors must meet to protect public health. DDW considers treatment costs, available treatment and analytical technology when setting new MCLs for unregulated chemicals.
PHGs are established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The OEHHA determines and publishes the “numerical public health risk” associated with both PHGs and MCLs. A PHG is a non-enforceable goal, used as a health risk assessment, not a proposed drinking water standard. It is the level of a contaminant in drinking water, which is considered not to pose a significant risk to health if consumed for a lifetime. This determination is made without regard to cost or treatability. The most recent health risk information published by OEHHA is used in this PHG report.
Contaminants that exceeded their PHG or MCLG in the years 2019 to 2021 are addressed in this report. For any contaminant that OEHHA has not set a PHG, the water suppliers are to use the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). MCLGs are the 116
federal equivalent to PHGs, but not identical.
Only contaminants which have a California primary drinking water standard and either a PHG or MCLG has been set are to be addressed in this report. There are some constituents that are routinely detected in water systems at levels usually well below the drinking water standards, for which no PHG nor MCLG have yet been adopted by OEHHA or USEPA. These constituents are not required to be included in this report.
This report provides the following information required by the Health and Safety Code for each constituent detected in the City of Oxnard’s water supply between 2019-2021 that exceeded a PHG or Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG):
Numerical public health risk associated with the MCL, PHG, or MCLG; Category or type of risk to health that could be associated with each constituent; Best Available Technology that could be used to reduce the constituent level; and Estimate of the cost to install the Best Available Treatment Technology, if it is appropriate and feasible.
DISCUSSION
The PHGs are non-enforceable goals that are not required to be met by any public water system and are set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). A PHG is the level below which OEHHA has determined that a drinking water contaminant poses no significant health risk. Additionally, PHGs are developed and published by OEHHA (Health and Safety Code Section 116365) using current risk assessment principles, practices and methods. PHGs are based solely on public health risk considerations. None of the risk management factors that are considered by the DDW or the USEPA in setting drinking water standards are considered in setting the PHGs.
These factors include analytical detection capabilities, treatment technology available, benefits, and cost. If a constituent does not have a PHG, then as required for this report, public water systems are to use Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Like PHGs set by OEHHA, MCLGs are set by the USEPA in which they believe there are no known or expected risks to health, with a margin of safety.
Water quality data collected for the City of Oxnard’s Water Distribution System between 2019 - 2021 was reviewed and used for the purpose of determining compliance with state and federal drinking water standards.
This information was summarized in the annual Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Reports made available to all City of Oxnard customers, residents, and businesses. The City’s most recent Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report is available at www.oxnard.org/CCR.
Most of the constituents tested in water were reported as Non-Detect (ND) and not listed in the Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report. When a constituent is reported as ND, it generally means that the laboratory did not detect the constituent, but it could also mean that it was detected at a level less than California’s Detection Level for Reporting (DLR) purposes.
From the review of the 2019-2021 Oxnard water quality data, there were 11 constituents detected that exceeded a PHG or MCLG. The 11 constituents were as follow: arsenic, cadmium, gross alpha particles activity, gross beta particle activity, radium 226 and radium 228, uranium, trihalomethanes (THMs), bromodichloromethane, bromoform, chloroform and dibromochloromethane.
The Best Available Technology selected to remove the 11 constituents was Reverse Osmosis (RO). Three RO facilities were determined to be necessary to achieve removal by treating 7.5 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) of water. These facilities are estimated to cost $90.9 Million dollars to construct, $27.1 Million dollars to 117
operate and maintain and increase the average customers water bill by $508 per year.
CONCLUSION
While eleven constituents exceeded a PHG or MCLG, the levels detected are extremely low, not enforceable and much lower than the State of California enforceable drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels.
Because the City is in compliance with the State of California and Federal Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Levels, staff does not recommend installing treatment processes to attempt to reduce the levels below Public Health Goal and Maximum Contaminant Level Goal levels.

WHAT ARE PUBLIC HEALTH GOALSs?
PHGs are non-enforceable goals that are not required to be met by any public water system. PHGs are set by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). A PHG is the level below which OEHHA has determined that a drinking water contaminant poses no significant health risk.
PHGs are developed and published by OEHHA (Health and Safety Code Section 116365) using current risk assessment principles, practices and methods. PHGs are based solely on public health risk considerations. None of the risk management factors that are considered by the DDW or the USEPA in setting drinking water standards are considered in setting the PHGs. These factors include analytical detection capabilities, treatment technology available, benefits and cost.
If a constituent does not have a PHG, then as required for this report, public water systems are to use Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
Like PHGs set by OEHHA, MCLGs are set by the USEPA in which they believe there are no known or expected risks to health, with a margin of safety.
WATER QUALITY DATA CONSIDERED
All water quality data collected for the City of Oxnard’s Water Distribution System from 2019 - 2021 is used for the purpose of determining water compliance with state drinking water standards. This information was summarized in tables included in the Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Reports made available to all City of Oxnard customers, residents, and businesses for those years. The City’s most recent Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report is available at www.oxnard.org/CCR.
Most of the constituents tested in water were reported as Non-Detect (ND) and are not generally listed in the Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report. When a constituent is reported as ND, it generally means that the laboratory did not detect the constituent, but it could also mean that it was detected at a level less than California’s Detection Level for Reporting (DLR) purposes.
CITY OF OXNARD WATER SOURCES
The City of Oxnard utilizes 3 sources for its water supply. 34% of Oxnard’s water supply is treated water purchased from Callegus Municipal Water District. The raw surface water is imported from Northern California via the State Water Project and treated by Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
30% of Oxnard’s water supply is treated water purchased from United Water Conservation District (United). United supplies disinfected groundwater replenished by the Santa Clara River, Lake Piru, and the Freemen Diversion Facility.
122
CITY OF OXNARD
Page | 4
36 % of Oxnard’s water supply is from groundwater wells owned and operated by the City. While all well water is treated, blended, and disinfected, a portion of this water is treated by reverse osmosis filtration (R.O.).
BEST AVAILABLE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY AND COST ESTIMATES
Both the USEPA and DDW have adopted what are known as Best Available Technologies (BATs), which are the best known methods of reducing contaminant levels. Capital construction along with operation and maintenance (O&M) costs can be estimated for such technologies. Since many PHGs and MCLGs are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always possible or feasible to determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a constituent down to or near the PHG or MCLG. For example, USEPA sets the MCLG for potential cancer-causing chemicals at zero. Estimating the costs to reduce a constituent is difficult, if not impossible, because it is not possible to verify by analytical means that the level has been lowered to zero. In some cases, installing treatment to try and further reduce very low levels of one constituent may have adverse effects on other aspects of water quality.

Arsenic
The MCL for arsenic in drinking water is 0.01 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The level of arsenic detected in Oxnard Water was below the MCL with a maximum level of 0.0033 mg/L. The City did not, however, meet the PHG for this constituent which was set at 0.000004 mg/L. The most probable source of the arsenic detected in the City’s water system was erosion of natural deposits.
Health Risk Category: Cancer. Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years may experience skin damage, circulatory system problems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Numeric Health Risk at PHG: Cancer risk. Theoretical 70-year lifetime excess risk is one cancer case per million people (expressed as 1x10-6). Numeric Health Risk at California MCL:
Cancer risk. Theoretical 70-year lifetime excess cancer risk is one excess cancer case per hundred people (expressed as 2.5x10-3).
The following technologies are identified as Best Available Technology (BAT) for reducing arsenic levels in drinking water, according to the CA State Division of Drinking Water (DDW). Activated Alumina
Coagulation / Filtration
Electrodialysis
Ion Exchange
Lime Softening
Oxidation / Filtration
Reverse Osmosis
Currently the City Of Oxnard Water Division utilizes Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment at wells 32, 33, and 34. RO treatment is one of the Best Available Treatment Technologies for lowering arsenic levels.
Cadmium
The MCL for cadmium in drinking water is 0.005 milligrams per liter (mg/L). The level of cadmium detected in Oxnard Water was well below the MCL with a maximum level of 0.00024 mg/L. The City did not meet the PHG for this constituent which was set at 0.00004 mg/L. The most probable source of the cadmium detected in the City’s water was erosion of natural deposits.
Health Risk Category: Nephrotoxicity (harms the kidney). Cadmium has the chronic potential to cause kidney, liver, bone and blood damage from long-term exposure at levels above the maximum contaminant level (MCL). Numeric Health Risk at PHG: Not Applicable (N/A). Numeric Health Risk at California MCL: N/A.
The Best Available Technologies (BAT) for reducing levels of cadmium are listed below. Distillation
Reverse Osmosis
124
CITY OF OXNARD
Page | 6
Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment is currently used at wells 32, 33, and 34. This is one of the Best Available Technologies for lowering the levels of cadmium in drinking water.
Gross Alpha Particles Activity
Gross alpha particles activity has a state MCL of 15 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). Gross alpha particle activity has no PHG, but the federal MCLG is zero. Maximum level of gross alpha particles in City water was 4.0 pCi/L, which was below the MCL. The most probable source of gross alpha particle activity detected in the City water system was from erosion of naturally occurring minerals.
Health Risk Category: Alpha particle activity is considered to be a human carcinogen. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Numeric Health Risk at MCLG: For an MCLG of zero, the excess cancer risk is zero. Numeric Health Risk at MCL: Approximately 1x10-3 for the most potent alpha emitter.
DDW has identified the following BATs for reducing the level of gross alpha particles.
Ion Exchange
Reverse Osmosis
The City of Oxnard Water Division currently uses Reverse Osmosis (RO) at wells 32, 33 and 34. RO is one of the BAT for lowering the level of gross alpha particles in drinking water.
Gross Beta Particle Activity
Gross beta particle activity has a state MCL of 50 pCI/L (equivalent to 4 millirem per year). Gross beta particle activity has no PHG, but the MCLG is zero. Maximum level of gross beta particles in City water was 4.0 pCi/L. The most probable source of gross beta particles activity detected in the City water system was from naturally occurring minerals.
Health Risk Category: Beta particle activity is considered to be a human carcinogen. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta radiation. Some people who drink water containing photon and beta emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Numeric Health Risk at MCLG: For an MCLG of zero, the excess cancer risk is zero. Numeric Health Risk at MCL: Approximately 2x10-3 for the most potent beta emitter.
DDW has identified the following BATs for reducing the level of gross beta particles. Ion Exchange

Reverse Osmosis
The City of Oxnard Water Division currently uses Reverse Osmosis (RO) at wells 32, 33 and 34. RO is one of the BAT for lowering the level of Gross beta Particles in drinking water.
Radium 226 and Radium 228
There is currently no state MCL for both Radium 226 and Radium 228. The level of Radium 226 detected in Oxnard Water was 0.238 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The level of Radium 228 detected in Oxnard Water was 0.759 pCi/L. The City however, did not meet the PHG for these constituents, which were set at
0.05 picocuries per liter and 0.019 picocuries per liter, respectively. The most probable source of radium is the naturally occurring decay of uranium and thorium found in radioactive rock, soil and water. Radium can enter ground water by dissolution of aquifer materials, by desorption from rock or sediment surfaces, and by ejection form minerals during radioactive decay.
Health Risk Category: Carcinogenicity. Some people who consumed water that contained more than 5 picocuries per liter over 70 years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Radium is primarily associated with bone and sinus cancers along with cell tissue damage. Numeric Health Risk at PHG:
Cancer risk. Theoretical 70-year lifetime excess risk is one cancer case per million people (expressed as 1x10-6). Numeric Health Risk at California MCL: Cancer risk. Theoretical 70-year lifetime excess cancer risk is one excess cancer case per ten thousand people (expressed 1x10-4).
The following technologies are identified as Best Available Technology (BAT) for reducing radium 226 and radium 228 levels in drinking water, according to the CA State Division of Drinking Water (DDW). Ion Exchange
Lime softening
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis (RO) treatment is currently used at wells 32, 33, and 34. This is one of the Best Available Technologies for lowering the levels of radium 226 and radium 228 in drinking water.
Uranium
The state MCL for uranium is 20 pCi/L. The PHG for uranium is 0.43 pCi/L. Maximum observed level of uranium was 6.1 pCi/L. The most probable source of uranium detected in the City water system was from erosion of naturally occurring minerals.
Health Risk Category: Carcinogenic/chronic toxicity. Some people who drink water containing uranium in excess of the MCL over many years may have kidney problems or an increased risk of getting cancer.
Numeric Health Risk at PHG: The theoretical 70-year lifetime cancer risk for drinking water with uranium above 0.43pCi/L is one excess cancer case per million people (1x10-6). For a MCLG of zero, the 126
CITY OF OXNARD
Page | 8
cancer risk is zero. Numerical Health Risk at MCL: The theoretical 70-year lifetime cancer risk for drinking water with uranium above 20 pCi/L is 5 excess cancer cases per 100,000 people (5x10-5).
DDW has identified the following BATs for reducing the level of gross beta particles. Coagulation / Filtration
Ion exchange
Lime Softening
Reverse Osmosis
The City of Oxnard Water Division currently uses Reverse Osmosis (RO) at wells 32, 33 and 34. RO is one of the BAT for lowering the level of uranium in drinking water.
Trihalomethanes (THMs)
There are 4 major regulated trihalomethanes found in drinking water. All 4 constituents are results of disinfection byproducts necessary to avoid infectious diseases within the general public from microbial contamination of drinking water supplies. None of these 4 constituents have an individual State MCL.
There is a total trihalomethanes MCL, which is the sum of these 4 constituents. The MCL is 0.08mg/L.
The Best Available Technologies (BAT) for reducing levels of Trihalomethanes are listed below. Filters Containing Carbon or Charcoal

Bromodichloromethane
The PHG for bromodichloromethane is 0.00006 mg/L. The level that was detected in the City Water was
0.003 mg/L.
Health Risk Category: Carcinogenicity. Some people, who drink water containing bromodichloromethane in excess of the PHG over many years, may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Numeric Health Risk at PHG: The theoretical 70-year lifetime cancer risk for drinking water above the 0.00006 is one excess cancer cases per million (1x10-6). Numeric Health Risk at MCL: The theoretical 70-year lifetime cancer risk for drinking water above the 0.8 mg/L is 1.3 excess cancer cases per one thousand (1.3x10-3).

ESTIMATED COSTS TO ACHIEVE PHG’s
The California Health and Safety code requires that this report includes an estimate of the aggregate cost and cost per customer for additional treatment to achieve the PHGs. Reverse osmosis (RO), ion exchange (IX), and corrosion control are potential BATs available for the constituents of concern.
It is estimated that additional RO treatment would have to be constructed at three City blending stations that do not currently have a desalter. RO treatment capacity needed at each station is estimated at 7.5 million gallons per day, totaling 22.5 million gallons per day for three stations. The cost estimates 128

includes engineering, construction, operation, 30-year amortization at 5 percent for debt service, and 3 percent annual inflation. However, the cost estimates do not include land costs, conveyance, and permitting.
Estimated total cost for the City would be approximately $27,141,000 per year as shown in the chart below. Total additional cost per customer would be approximately $508 per year.

RO Capacity/Station (MGD) 7.5
RO Engineering/Construction Cost per unit ($ million) (2013$) (1,2) 30.3 RO Total Annual Cost ($ million/year) (2030$) (3) 27.1
Total Additional Annual Cost per Customer ($ / connection / year)(2030$) (4,5) 508 Notes:
1. RO costs provided by City of Oxnard ($24 million/ desalter). (City, 2015). 3% per year added for inflation (from 2013 - 2030)
2. Costs for inflation and additional capital/operating are assumed to be balanced by the use of newer technology and efficiencies.
3. Current RO Total Annual Cost provided by City of Oxnard (based on $1268/AF). Desalters are to be constructed over a 15 year period. City will treat approximately 16,900 AFY of groundwater by year 2030.
4. Costs adjusted to 2030 dollars with inflation estimated at 3% per year. Total additional annual cost per customer service connection for additional RO treatment adjusted to 2030 dollars.
5. Current number of service connections is approximately 42,500 (City, 2015 UWMP). Projected 2030 service connections is 53,400 (based on mean increase from 1992-2010).
The above estimate is for the construction of three additional desalters. All 3 desalter facilities could not be built at the Water Campus due to groundwater allocation restrictions (set by Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency), total demand, and insufficient storage for permeate water. This scenario would only be obtainable by gaining more groundwater allocation and constructing separate R.O. facilities throughout the city. This would greatly reduce our dependency on purchased water, but not eliminate the need for purchased sources.

RECOMMENDATION
The City of Oxnard routinely performs and reports compliance monitoring of its water supplies. Water delivered by the City complies with all drinking water standards set by the state and federal government.
On average, contaminants detected had concentrations far below MCLs. Only eleven contaminants had at least one sample that was detected at a higher level than the PHG or MCLG, which are non-enforceable goals. In addition, this report estimates significant treatment costs to potentially achieve PHGs and MCLGs. Because many PHGs and MCLGs are set at zero, it is not always feasible to determine what treatment is needed to reduce a constituent downward to or near zero. Furthermore, it is often not possible to verify by analytical means that the level has actually been lowered to zero.
For these reasons, City staff has determined that this financial investment is not warranted at this time given the low risks associated with the PHGs and MCLGs discussed in this report.
If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Richard Maria, Water Regulatory Compliance Coordinator, at (805) 200-5374.

2022 Public Health Goals Report
Public Works and Transportation Committee
July 16, 2022
Joseph Marcinko
Assistant Public Works Director
131
The Public Works and Transportation Committee recommends the City Council receive and file the 2022 Public Health Goals Report RECOMMENDATION 2
132
• California Health and Safety Code Section 116470(b) requires large water utilities to prepare a Public Health Goal (PHG) report if their water quality measurements exceeded any PHG in the three previous calendar years (2019-2021)
• A PHG report must include the following:
1. Any contaminant that has been detected above a PHG or MCLG.
2. Health risk information on the detected contaminants.
3. Estimated cost associated with installation of the Best Available Technology (BAT) to help reduce the level of a given contaminant
4. What action, if any, will be taken to reduce the level of the contaminant and basis for that decision.
BACKGROUND 3
133
PHG’s are:
• Established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA)
• “Goals” used as a public health risk assessment
• Not required to be met by public water systems
• Non-enforceable standards
• Levels of chemicals that would not cause adverse health effects in people who drink the water everyday for 70 years
BACKGROUND 4
134
MCLG’s are:
• Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs)
• United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
equivalent of California PHGs
• Levels of contaminants in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to human health
• Non-enforceable public health goals
• Different than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)
BACKGROUND 5
135
• Water quality data collected from the City of Oxnard’s Water Distribution System between 2019 - 2021 was used to determine compliance with state and federal drinking water standards and also for this report • Annual water quality data is included in the Consumer Confidence Reports and made available to all City of Oxnard customers, residents, and businesses • The City’s most recent Drinking Water Consumer Confidence Report is available at www.oxnard.org/CCR
• There were 11 constituents detected that exceeded a PHG or MCLG : arsenic, cadmium, gross alpha particles activity, gross beta particle activity, radium 226 and radium 228, uranium, trihalomethanes (THMs), bromodichloromethane, bromoform, chloroform and dibromochloromethane
• Factors included in this report are analytical detection capabilities, treatment technology available, benefits and cost
DISCUSSION 6
136
• Eleven constituents were detected above a PHG or MCLG level • Arsenic, cadmium, gross alpha particles activity, gross beta particle activity, radium 226 and radium 228, uranium, trihalomethanes (THMs), bromodichloromethane, bromoform, chloroform and
dibromochloromethane
• The Best Available Technology (BAT) selected to remove the constituents was Reverse Osmosis (RO).
• Three RO facilities were determined to be necessary to achieve removal by treating 7.5 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) of water.
• The RO facilities are estimated to cost $90.9 Million dollars to construct and $27.1 Million dollars to operate and maintain annually
• Adding the required RO treatment would increase an average customer’s water bill by $508 per year
DISCUSSION 7
137
• PHG and MCLG, levels are extremely low, not close to the MCL levels and not enforceable water quality standards
• Because the City is in compliance with the State of California and Federal Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Levels, staff does not recommend installing costly treatment processes to attempt to reduce the levels below PHG and MCLG levels
