Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION None. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Water and Sewer Board, at their February 10, 2004 meeting, recommended approval by motion of the purchase of water meters from Mountain States Pipe and Supply in the amount of $92,323.18 BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED The Utilities Department purchases water meters needed for an entire year by requesting one large bid proposal for additional cost savings. The Utilities Department is converting the metering system to the ITRON Automatic Meter Reading System . All meters and registers purchased will be compatible with the ITRON System . A portion of these meters will be resold to Englewood customers for new installations as part of the flat-rate-to-meter conversion process. Some of the meter stock will be used to replace inactive or poorly functioning meters and to convert existing meters to the ITRON system . Because Mountain States Pipe does not sell meter yokes, the yokes (saddles for the meters) are being bid separately and will be forthcoming. FINANCIAL IMPACT Sixteen meters, ranging from 1-1/2" to 3", will be going to the Englewood Parks Department for their personnel to change existing irrigation meters, some over 30 years old and inefficient. Mountain States Pipe is honoring 2000 prices for this bid. Englewood's meter order is being placed in conjunction with Denver Water Board's order to ensure the best quantity price . Mountain States Pipe and Supply's bid is $92,323.18. Of this amount, approximately $15,000 will be resold to Englewood customers, $20,000 will be for Englewood Parks meters and $10,000 for meters for the Pirate's Cove Water Park. There is money budgeted for these meters in the 2004 Budget. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS Bid Proposal Tabulation Sheet ~ ~ MOUNTAIN STATES PIPE & SUPPLY 2801 TOWER ROAD AURORA.

SHEET 3 OF 3 ~ JR ENGINEERING A Sublidlaty cl WuUian TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MEMORANDUM Englewood Water and Sewer Board Bill McCorrnic~tions Supt. February 4, 2004 Amendment to Agreement for Drainage & Flood Control Attached is a Council Communication with proposed engineer's estimates of the construction costs for repairs of the Marcy Gulch siphon structure on the City Ditch. In the next two weeks Urban Drainage will be obtaining quotes from their short list of construction contractors. Costs reflected in the attached council communication are based on engineer's estimates and may not reflect the actual bid price received from Urban Drainage. It is imperative that the project be completed by April 1 for the City Ditch to flow and fulfill our contractual agreements with various City Ditch users including Centennial, Cherry Hills Golf Course and the Littleton Cemetery. Time is of the essence because if construction is not completed by April 1, 2004 the project will be delayed until the City Ditch is shut off in November. If significant spring or summer rains occur it could cause the siphon structure to fail, which would prevent Englewood from delivering water to their contracted users and be reflected in reduced revenues and possible penalties. ~- Printed on Recycled Paper '~~ Date February 16, 2004 INITIATED BY Utilities Department COUNCIL COMMUNICATION Agenda Item Subject Amendment to the Agreement Regarding Construction of Drainage & Flood Control Improvements for Marcy Gulch STAFF SOURCE Stewart Fonda, Director of Utilities COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION On November 17, 2003 Englewood City Council approved the Agreement Regarding Design and Construction of Drainage and Flood Control Improvements for Marcy Gulch at City Ditch. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Englewood Water and Sewer Board, at their February 10, 2004 meeting, recommended Council approval of the Amendment to the Agreement Regarding Design and Construction of Drainage and Flood Control Improvements for City Ditch at Marcy Gulch. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED A Master Plan of Drainage for Marcy Gulch was originally prepared in 1985 for the Marcy Gulch drainage basin in Highlands Ranch. Urban Drainage, Centennial Water and Sanitation District and the City of Englewood now wish to proceed with design and construction of the drainage and flood control improvements for this area. Erosion has exposed the City Ditch siphon pipe and the coming spring runoff could cause Englewood's existing siphon structure to fail. This would create an emergency situation because water could not be delivered to either Highlands Ranch or the Allen Filter Plant. Englewood owns the spillway that to protects the pipe from Marcy Gulch runoff. Urban Drainage and Flood Control is proposing to construct a new spillway, to replace the existing City Ditch pipe with 66" reinforced concrete pipe, and to construct a new inlet and outlet structure . Enlarging this pipe to 66" will allow the City Ditch to carry up to 75 cfs of raw water. Urban Drainage is overseeing the project and ensuring flood control compliance . FINANCIAL IMPACT Council previously approved the engineering phase of the project for Muller Engineering to design the spillway structure. Centennial is paying for the design of the inlet and outlet structures and enlargement of the City Ditch pipe to 66" ($9,930), with Englewood contributing for the drainage improvement design ($12,550). The engineer's estimate of probable cost is $297,678.60. Urban Drainage has agreed to pay 50% of the drainage construction costs, which is $115,000. Centennial and Englewood will each pay 25% of the drainage construction costs, ($57 ,500 each). Centennial will pay for the siphon enlargementt costs of $64,000. Englewood will pay $2 ,000 for the new 12" gate valve, replacing the old gate valve.

By almost ail accounts , the program in 2002-03 was quite successful. We had an independent evaluation done on the program , as well as an analysis of success done by the program contractor. Both reported 14% increased snowfall as a result of the cloud seeding effort. However, as perhaps you know, one can never conclusively prove the success of a weather modification program. Given the apparent success in 2002-03 , we plan another program for the winter of 2003-04. The program we will propose for 2003-04 will be on a smaller scale than last year. I estimate that the total cost will be $400 ,000 or 57% of last year's cost. I am writing you now with the expectation that you will wish to continue your participation in the project, and so you can plan accordingly for the expenses of the project in your 2004 budget. Utilizing the same participation percentages as last year, we calculate your contribution to the program for 2003-04 to be $3,200. Please let me know your desire with respect to participation in the program for 2003-04. It would be helpful to know if you will participate at the full level , at a reduced level, or not at all. In the absence of specific communication from you on this question, we will prepare an invoice for your participation once a specific contract for this year's program has been finalized. Thank you again for your participation in the successful weather modification program undertaken last winter . I hope you will consider participation again in the forthcoming winter season.

The operator refuses. By CRAIG PITIMAN Times Sta ff Wr iter Tampa Bay \Yater has ordered its troubled desalination plant shut down for a month amid concerns that the membranes used to filter salt our of the water have been damaged by its main contractor. Bur Covanta Tampa Construc - tion, which is operating the SllO- million plant. refuses to tum it off. Tne standoff marks a new stage in the bitter dispute between Tampa Bav Water and Covanra. · ''YVe don't have anv intention of stopping the operation of this facility if we 're not convince d we're doing any undue harm." Covanta vice president Scott \\nit- nev said Fridav. · But the c~mpany that makes the membranes contends Covanta has dam age d them so much that it ""'ill not honor the warrantv. Covanta filed for bankrUptcy in New York in October. just as Tam- pa Bay Water was on the verge of firing the company over repeated delays in finishing the plant. Filing for bankruptcy blocked the firing, and also prevents Tampa BayWa- ter from sending in workers to shut down the plant , the largest in the nation. "Our hands are tied." said Tampa Ba y Water engineering · manager Ken Herd. "We can't physically go out and close the valve." The membranes are crucial to the plant's operation. and their long life is crucial to the rates customers will pay. Each of the 10,000 membranes costs S.500. so replacing all of th em would total SS-million . Herd said. In setting water rates. Tampa Bay Water planned on each membrane lasting five to seven years.

The Apollo Beach desal plant is supposed -to take -!0-million gallons of seawater every · day. force it through the tightly woven mem- branes and produce 25-million gallons of freshwater and 15-million gallons of brine. The seawater comes from Tampa Elec tric Co.'s Big Bend plant. one of the first places that an exotic invader. the Asian green mus -- < sel. was discovered in the United States. According to Covanta . tiny hairs and othe r organic mat e rial from the mu ssels have clogged the desal plant's membranes faster · than expected. requiring extensive cleaning. That led to a dispute with Hill sboro ugh County over disposal of the clea ning sol ution , and extensive delays in co mpl eting the plant. In October.

Bills will be mailed out next week for the fees, which ar-e expected to raise $1.8 million a year for the state. Agricultural water rights holders will pay $10to $25 per right, whi:le cit- ies and others will pay $100 to $250. For some of the largest utilities, that will translate to thousands of dollars a year. Some farmers, too, will pay more because they have mul- tiple rights. More than 10 ,000 invoices, cover-. ing about 35,000 water rights that qualify for the fees, will likely come as a shock to some, in part because water rights are considered sacro- sanct in Colorado. Holders enjoy nu- merous protections under the law, and have never haq to pay simply to possess such a right. "Under current conditions, with drought, lack of available water, peo- ple getting their wells shut off, any fee right now is tough to take," said Alan Foutz, president of the Colo- rado Farm Bureau. The Division of Water Resources is bracing for a backlash. Division of- ficials held 15 public meetings last fall to inform people about the fees , but are still setti.Qg up a toll-free hot line to deal with thousands of rights holders likely to be angry when they get the unprecedented bill "Folks are justifiably concerned about this," said Ken Knox, chief deputy state engineer at the divi- sion. "It's their water right, their live- lihood. We need to b"e able to re- spond timely and professionally." The state legislature approved the fees last year to avoid laying off water commissioners. Those are the workers who do the criticaljob of po- licing and tracking water rights in the state, ensuring people get the water to which they're entitled -a job once conducted at the business end of a rifle. The water rights fees were among dozens of new fees and fee increases totaling $72 million approved last year by the legislatµre. Lawmakers also raided cash accounts -ac- counts funded by fees -to the tune of about $1 billion. Among the many fee increases: a 50 percent hike in court fees, a 400 percent increase in the fee charged by the state Department of Agricul- ture to check calibration of grocery store scales, and a $40 rise in real es- tate license fees. · Many critics call the new fees back-door tax increases that allow politicians to boast about cutting, or not raising, taxes while quietly making up the revenues through fee increases with less public scrutiny. State Treasurer Mike Coffman said the legislature was in a tough position because the sinking econo- my battered the state budget. Even so, he said, falling back on new and higher fees is bad public policy. "This whole surge of increasing fees is really the equivalent of a back-door tax increase," Coffman said. "It certainly has the same net effect, and it's occurring across the board, in a large number of depart- ments in state government." Not everyone was critical of the fees. Brian Werner, spokesman for the Northern Colorado Water Con- servancy District, which serves sev- eral cities, towns and farms in the state's northeast region, said it will have to pay $5 ,000 to $6 ,000 a year un- der the new program. Still, he defend- ed the fees as necessary to preserve the Division of Water Resources . {' CITY 0 F ENGLEWOOD PURCHASING DIVISION GENERAL CONDITIONS Request for Quotes (RFQ) must be received by date and time indicated: City of Englewood Purchasing Department 2800 So.
