EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment of $633,362.96 from Reserves for Capital to
Project Number 73969, South County Water Reclamation Facility Technica~ Support.
OBJECTIVE: The public purpose of this budget amendment is to make additional funds available to
the South County Water Reclamation Facility (SCWRF) for funding one reliability improvement
project previously deferred due to revenue constraints. This is consistent with the Wastewater
Department's mission to meet operational and reliability needs, to meet the demand for reclaimed
water, and to stay in compliance with regulatory requirements.
CONSIDERA TION: The SCWRF is a 16 million gallon per day water reclamation facility that treats
wastewater from the south County service area. The SCWRF utilizes fourteen (14) covered aeration
basins in the treatment process. The basins were constructed in two phases with individual odor
control ductwork and chemical scrubbers on the north basins (nos. 7-14) and south basins (nos. 1-6).
The south odor control scrubber is an older system that needs to be replaced. The recommended
solution is to connect the south ductwork to the north system and replace the south chemical odor
scrubber; thus providing reliable and redundant treatment of all basins from either the north or south
chemical odor scrubbers. After taking into consideration the savings due to direct material purchases,
the engineer's estimate of total construction cost is $666,000. The additional funding required for this
project will come from existing funds. Construction of this project will commence in FY09 and be
completed in FYI 0; consequently, invoicing will take place in both fiscal years.
In FY08, the Public Utilities Division (PUD) deferred approximately $60 million worth of Capital
Improvement Projects, and assumed the risk of not making these improvements. The PUD is now
recommending approximately $5 million of the deferred projects be implemented to diminish the risk
of further deferring these projects. Further deferring Project 73969 may hinder the operational and
reliability needs of the Wastewater Department and risk compliance with regulatory requirements. The
$633,362.96 requested by this budget amendment is part of the $5 million.
The Planning and Project Management Department plans to procure for this project through fixed-term
contracts and bids previously approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board). Due to the
dollar amount, Board approval for this project will be required and a subsequent executive summary
will be submitted for approval after the bidding process is completed.
On June 24, 2008, Agenda Item 10(G), the Board adopted the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan Update
that identified the requirement for performing various technical support projects at the SCWRF. These
projects were identified at that time, however, sufficient funds were not available in the revenue-
constrained amount of $600,000 budgeted for FY09. Due to aggressive cost-containment, funds from
Reserves for Capital are now available, while staying within revenue constraints. The proposed scope
is consistent with the 2008 Wastewater Master Plan Update, Project 73969, "SCWRF Technical
Support Projects," Section 8, Table 8-2, page 3 of 5, line 101.

FISCAL IMPACT: Transferring funds from Reserves for Capital to Project 73969, SCWRF
Technical Support, requires a budget amendment. The source of funding is the Wastewater User Fee
Fund (414).
