BAGKGROUND INFORMATION: The White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) has undergone multiple expansions and improvements over the years to meet increasingly stringent discharge standards, including the 2007 addition of tertiary filtration and the replacement of chlorine gas with ultraviolet light disinfection. The current Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual was prepared in 1977. Additionally, on March 20, 2014, the Regional Water Quality Control Board conducted an inspection of the WSWPCF and recommended that an O&M Manual be developed for the facility. ln light of the expansions and improvements at WSWPCF, the age of the existing O&M Manual, and the Regional Board recommendation, staff recommends the preparation of an updated O&M Manual to serve as a guide for plant operation, preventive maintenance, training, and regulatory compliance. Preparation of an updated manual was approved by Council as an optional task under the West Yost Associates (WYA) Task Order No. 35 on June 18,2014. However, this work will not be executed under the \Ä/YA contract because the Nolte Associates, lnc., price is lower. Staff recommends Nolte Associates, lnc., be awarded the project on the basis of recent experience, qualifications and price. Their proposal states the updated manualwill be completed by March 2015, prior to the next scheduled visit by the Regional Water Quality Control Board staff. FISCAL IMPACT: lmproved operations and lower costs will result from implementation of the O&M Manual.
