Resolution Approving Contractual Services Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. , Relating to Water Pollution Control Plant, Work Package D, Project Nos. 593-8512 and 593-8536 (provides for the preparation of final design, bid, and construction documents and support services for grit removal and odor control systems at the headworks) . Council Member Kerr spoke regarding consolidation of agencies. He said we were talking about spending almost $300,000 on the Water Pollution Control Plant for a channel grit-removal system and an odor-control system and questioned the feasibility of spending this much money on the Plant. He suggested we request a proposal from EBMUD for a feasibility and cost to contract with them for eternal and uninterruptable processing, of sewage. He said we could save our resident ratepayers between $45 and $60 per year in sewer fees and costs of future mandated requirements. He said EBMUD has 50 million gallons per day of excess capacity and has the wet-weather treatment plant installed, and it would require only three miles of pumping to their interceptor; and this may be an opportune time because the Tri- Valley Wastewater Authority is looking for capacity in the EBDA outfall system, and it would be worth big money to them to obtain San Leandro's 20- million-gallon capacity. He said a problem in the South Bay is the future dumping, which may require advance treatment of sewage effluent such as filtration or reverse osmosis, which will cost San Leandro millions of dollars to keep this Plant going. San Leandro's sewage has high concentrations of BOD, suspended solids, and heavy metals; dumping into the bay from EBMUD is less restrictive because of a higher dilution factor. Future regulatory compliance costs will require full costs to be borne by San Leandro, but compliance costs at EBMUD would be shared by all other agencies, and San Leandro's costs would be about one-twelfth the share.
