AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION APPROVING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CAMP
DRESSER & MCKEE FOR INTERIM OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Veolia's decision on January 16, 2008, to terminate the agreement for operation and maintenance
of the City's wastewater treatment facility requires the City to quicldy implement an action plan
that provides for operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility for the next 10
months. City Management recommends the City Council consider and discuss options for the
interim operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment facility, and adopt the resolution
approving the agreement with Camp, Dresser & McKee for interim operation and maintenance
of the wastewater treatment facility.
2. BACKGROUND:
On May 15, 2006, the City Council approved the First Amended Wastewater Treatment and
Water RecyclingFacilio) Operations and MaintenanceAgreemew with Veolia Water North
America (Veolia). This agreement includes operation and maintenance of the City's Hopper
Street Treatment Facility, the oxidation ponds, recycled water pump stations and collection
system pump stations. The expiration date of the agreement is December 31, 2008, with a
renewal clause. On January 16, 2008, Veolia submitted a letter enacting the 120 -day termination
clause in the contract. A copy is provided in Attachment A. Veolia will cease operating the
treatment facility on or about May 15, 2008.
This fall the City will begin transitioning treatment of the community's wastewater from the
Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility to the Ellis Creel: Water Recycling Facility. This
transition will be completed near the end of the year. Until that happens, the Hopper Street
Wastewater Treatment Facility needs to continue in its current capacity as the City's wastewater
treatment facility. This means the Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility will only
operate for another 10 months. When it stops operating, all of the wastewater will be sent to the
Ellis Creels Water Recycling Facility for treatment. All of the equipment at the Hopper Street
Wastewater Treatment Facility will be decommissioned, except the Pond Influent Pump Station.
With Veolia's decision to terminate, the City needs to implement an action plan for the
temporary operation of the Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility.
At the February 4"' City Council meeting, City Management briefly discussed the
recommendation to hire an interim contract operator familiar with the operation and maintenance
of the Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility. This approach ensures the Wastewater
Treatment Facility is properly operated and maintained from the date of Veolia's departure
through transition from the Facility to the Ellis Creek WRF; allows the City to keep the Ellis
Creek WRF project on track, including construction, start-up and testing; and allows the City to
continue recruiting and developing a talented staff to operate and maintain the Ellis Creek WRIT
in a timely manner and without delaying the Ellis Creek WRIT project.
The firm of Camp, Dresser and McKee (CDM) is very familiar with Petaluma's Wastewater
Treatment Facility and its operations. Since 2003 CDM has assisted the City in overseeing
operation of the Facility and Veolia, and has instituted many operating changes which have
increased the facility's efficiency. CDM has experience providing interim operation and
maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities facing circumstances similar to that now created
in Petaluma by Veolia's decision to terminate, including Glen Falls, New York, and Rockland,
Massachusetts. The final draft agreement is provided in Attachment B. If CDM is given an
opportunity to operate the wastewater treatment facility, they are very interested in interviewing
the current Veolia employees.
It has been suggested the City hire Veolia's employees as City employees. This has the
advantage of possibly keeping the current staff in place. However, there are a number of
challenges with this approach. Namely:
• Hiring City employees without open competition would be contrary to the City's
Municipal Code.
• New job descriptions and salaries would have to be created to match the positions at the
treatment facility.
• When the Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility stops operating, these positions
will be eliminated. What happens to the employees that hold these positions?
• Veolia does not have a qualified plant manager nor a sufficient number of properly
licensed operators to run the facility (Veolia is doing the best they can to bridge this gap
by using a part time contract plant manager and/or keeping an operator on-call 24/7)1.
When the Hopper Street positions are eliminated, these positions could not be simply transferred
to the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility, since the mix of skill, personnel and qualifications at
the Hopper Street Facility are not equivalent to the Ellis Creek Facility. Furthermore,
development of the Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility staff is subject to open competition,
which supports the City's desire to hire a highly qualified and talented team. Veolia's employees
have been encouraged and invited to participate in this process.
The most expedient way to keep the Hopper Street Wastewater Treatment Facility operating for
the next 10 months and provide Veolia's employees the opportunity to run the facility and the
opportunity to compete for employment with the City to work at the Ellis Creek Water Recycling
Facility is to lure Camp Dresser & McKee.
3. ALTERNATIVES:
Alternatives available for this item include:
Veolia's plant manager does not possess a Grade V license as required by the operations agreement. Veolia's shift
supervisors do not possess a Grade III certificate or higher as required by the State. We were pleased to learn that
one of Veolia's operators recently passed his Grade III test, but has not been given a certificate by the State. The
State has indicated that until the certificate is issued, this operator can act as a shift supervisor only if he is in
telephone contact with his supervisor.
4
1. Adopt resolution approving the agreement with Camp, Dresser & McKee for
interum operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility.
2. Take other action as directed by the City Council.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
The monthly service fee for interim operation of the treatment facility is $207,624. This is a
savings of $8,620 per month in comparison to Veolia's contract. CDM's services for oversight
of Veolia would no longer be needed, which would yield additional savings of $6,000 - $10,000
per month, for a total estimated savings of $14,620 to $18,620 per month. For a seven month
contract, this is an estimated savings of over $100,000.
CONCLUSION:
Veolia's decision on January 16, 2008, to terminate the agreement for operation and maintenance
of the City's wastewater treatment facility requires the City to quickly implement an action plan
that provides for operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility for the next 10
months.
6. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION:
Successful interim operation of the wastewater treatment facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
City Management recommends the City Council consider and discuss options for the wastewater
treatment facility, and adopt the resolution approving the agreement with Camp, Dresser &
McKee for interim operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility.

RE: Termination of Contract
Dear Mike - Director of Water Resources & Conservation Dept, City of Petaluma, CA
After much consideration of recent events, Veolia Water has decided that it is in the best
interest of Veolia Water and its Petaluma employees, as well as the City of Petaluma, to
invoke Article IX of our service agreement. This notice, therefore, initiates the prescribed
120 -day full transition of all wastewater O & M responsibilities back to the City.
Due to Mr. O'Hare's resignation, I have directed Mr. Dave Haflich to assume the full
responsibility of plant management and transition responsibilities at the Hopper Street
facility effective January 24, 2008. Mr. Haflich, along with continued technical and
administrative support from Veolia Water, will focus immediate attention on providing a
smooth transition to the city.
We see the major priorities for the next 120 days to include:
1. Maintain a safe and compliant operation
2. Notify Tom Brandon, Business Agent of IAMAW, of our decision this week.
3. Establish clear lines of transition authority for plant operations
4. Transition to the city the Direct Responsible Operator authority
I would like to schedule a transition meeting soon to further the brief list of priorities
above and to initiate specific discussions on how the various actions will occur. We
thank the City of Petaluma for the many years of support and partnership provided to us
and we are excited for you as you proceed with your long anticipated new Ellis Creek
facility. Please feel free to call me at 360-606-5464 or Chuck Voltz, President — West
Region at 925-681-2304 to discuss this at any time.
Sincerely,
Owen Boe
Northwest Area Manager
