To : Stu Fonda, Utilities.Director . . . [\{'A~
From : John Bock, Ut1bt1es Manager of Admm1stration ~
Date : August 1, 2013 ·
Subject: 3226 S Corona St.
During a recent real estate closing at 3226 S Corona St, we received a $200 .00 payment
from a title company for any water and sewer charges that might be due. However,
when we took the final meter reading and checked all the charges, the final bill was
$0 .00 . The $200 .00 became a credit balance on the account.
We heard nothing about this from the seller, realtor or title company . The $200.00 credit
remained on the account for two months, long enough for $77.76 of it to be applied
against the new owner's next , regular quarterly bill leaving a credit balance or $122.24.
When we finall y did hear from the seller and title company they requested a refund of the
full $200.00 . We explained to them that money used to pay legitimate account balances
cannot be refunded , only credit balances can be refunded . We refunded the $122.24 to
Matthew Bryo with the end of July check run.
We are informing the Board of this matter in case the seller, the real tor or the title
company decide to contest and appeal the matter.

2013 ENGLEWOOD WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
COMMENTS AND RESPONSES
The City of Englewood has completed its 60-day public review period for the
water conservation plan that began on May 1, 2013 through July 1, 2013 . Official
notification was posted in the Englewood Herald (copy attached). During the pre-
approval period , three newspaper articles were published; an article in the Denver Post,
Your Hub dated May 29, 2013, "Englewood creates water conservation plan , seeks
input ," an article in the Coyote Gulch dated May 1, 2013, "Englewood rolls out draft
water conservation plan #CO drought," and an article in the Englewood Herald dated
April 26, 2013 , "Water plan awaits comment." A complete copy of the plan was
available at Englewood Civic Center and on the City's website . During the public-review
period , the City received eight comments on the plan.
The following is a list of the comments, summary of the core issues conveyed in
the public comments, and Englewood 's response.
COMMENTS:
Comment 1: I strongly recommend that everyone involved with the water conservation
plan be required to read "Rainwater Harvesting for Dry/ands and Beyond Vol. 1-3" by
Brad Landcaster. I would also like to see the city use more xeriscaping around city
facilities. It's baffling why you have lawn around places like the WTP , city maintenance
facility, Police station , etc. The only person who ever sets foot on those expanses of
grass are the people who mow them, truly a waste of water and maintenance. Allow
and implement the use of greywater. Give incentives for xeriscaping. Limit the amount
of grass for new homes and businesses and require the use of low water usage
grasses . Go to a mandatory 3 day a week watering schedule all of the time.
RESPONSE:
Xeriscape Programs and Measures
Several comments requested the incorporation of xeriscape programs and incentives.
The City did consider xeriscape programs during the initial screening of potential
conservation measures and programs. Based on the City's screening criteria (1 . staff
time. 2. financial implications and 3. political ramifications). the City does not currently
'-/ -l
have the staff resources to implement xeriscape programs and did not feel the
programs merited putting money into it. The City will re-evaluate xeriscape measures
and programs with future water conservation planning efforts . Englewood residents are
encouraged to utilize xeriscape landscape.
Comment 2 : Water is the staff of life ..... we all know that. We cannot do without it and
our quality of life , particularly here in the dry Western Desert, depends upon the
availability of good, clean water. I am sure that is why our civic leaders in Englewood
worked so hard to obtain water rights for Englewood-to insure that our quality of life
would remain high because we had enough water. In the 1970 's, Englewood had a "flat
rate " water billing system . We paid in advance, and the city had a stable , absolutely
predictable fund to pay the cost of providing water. Our lawns and neighborhoods were
green and inviting . The name "Englewood " seemed to describe our green urban forest.
Now we have water meters and we sell our "excess " water to more affluent
neighborhoods. The rationale for this was that by selling our excess water, Englewood
would have plenty and our rates would stay lower than surrounding cities.
Unfortunately, this hasn 't worked out. Denver rates right now are $2.5911000 gallons
plus $6 .33 admin fee ; Englewood 's rate is $3 .2911000 gallons plus a $9 . 71 admin fee . If
you use 10,000 gallons in a billing period you pay $4.2611000 gallons in Englewood, vs
$3 . 2211000 gallons in Denver. As just a side note, if you are one of Englewood 's "out of
city" metered customers, you only pay an admin fee of $9.22. So much for the theory of
"sell off our water and pay less for the water we use."
Over the past several decades, as Englewood 's water policy has moved from a flat rate ,
predictable cost to a metered cost, Englewood 's neighborhoods have consistently
declined in appearance. Certainly a big part of that has been the fact that bluegrass
lawns are water guzzlers and have become very expensive to maintain under the
current water pricing system, and as you drive through the city you can see numerous
homes with dead or abandoned lawns, but also fewer gardens and more neglected
trees . No rational person is going to suggest that we encourage bluegrass lawns, or
running water in the gutter. But our policies are not encouraging APPROPRIATE
WATER USE to Keep Englewood Beautiful. As the appearance of our neighborhoods
continues its decline, so does the desire to live here , raise a family, participate in civic
affairs, and so forth . Our water policies have contributed to this decline even though we
seem to have enough water to take a more enlightened approach, saving water
appropriately, but encouraging water use that keeps Englewood an attractive, livable
city. It is vexing to me that Englewood 's neighborhoods can 't afford the water that we
are selling to other, more affluent metro neighborhoods to waste on THEIR lawns and
green space, which they seem to do with reckless abandon , even to the point, in
Highlands Ranch , of penalizing homeowners who do not use enough water on their
lawns . Obviously, they have recognized that people want to live and do business in a
city which has visually appealing trees, landscaping, and so forth . We apparently
haven 't figured that out, even though we already have the water resources.
Obviously, the cost of water is a much small part of a family 's budget in a more affluent
'-I -2
community than it is in less affluent Englewood. So I see nothing in the proposed Water
Conservation Plan to encourage the APPROPRIATE USE of the water Englewood
owns to improve the quality of the appearance and livability of the City of Englewood,
taking into account that our city is not as affluent as some of our Southern neighbors .
For instance , Englewood 's development guidelines require tr ees, and our Concrete
Replacement plan requires replacement trees when a tree is removed next to a
sidewalk. But our water conservation plan gives no thought to the cost or effort involved
in owning a tree , or the water required. Trees are an expensive addition to a
homeowner's landscape. They require watering, maintenance , insurance , trimming, and
probably eventual expensive removal. I guess a "conservation minded" citizen should
simply do without trees. But can you imagine Englewood without trees? Certainly the
"wood " part refers to our attractive urban forest. I imagine the growing number of
apartment dwellers in Englewood feel that their water rate should be lower, after all they
don 't have trees, or grass or gardens, or flowers to tend, water and maintain .
So it seems to me that Englewood homeowners should not be disadvantaged when
compared to apartment dwellers, or to homeowners in more affluent areas to whom
Englewood sells water. While a homeowner will probably use more water, much of that
will to enhance the urban landscape , providing trees and landscaping which enhances
all of our quality of life . There is clearly a benefit to the community provided by
homeowners who invest in trees and appropriate landscaping, and a water conservation
program should recognize this benefit and encourage trees through water pricing . Tree
ownership should not be mandated by the City, and then immediately penalized by
Englewood 's water pricing policy. Similarly, some thought should be given to the social
and community benefit provided by a homeowner who has a flower or vegetable
garden , enhancing the beauty of the neighborhood and the livability of the urban
landscape. These gardens should be encouraged, not penalized by water pricing when
compared to the person who only plants a water guzzling bluegrass lawn. Again, isn 't it
curious that the City of Englewood is now subsidizing a community garden for people
(apartment dwellers) who cannot have their own garden , but gives no break to the
homeowner who owns, pays taxes on, and provides his own garden area. Additionally,
it is curious that this "Conservation Plan " doesn 't seem to encourage , or even to allow
some innovative conservation techniques, such as grey water systems, rain barrels, low
flow toilets, and so forth . Grey water systems should be encouraged when appropriately
designed and installed. There is no good reason why bathing or hand washing water
cannot be used again for toilet flushing before it passes back into the sanitary sewer
system. This does not affect the amount of water available for re-introduction back into
the river as treated effluent, but will reduce the amount needed to operate a household.
Similarly, cisterns designed to catch and use rainwater for garden or lawn , or household
use should be encouraged and allowed. It is curious that Englewood "claims " that runoff
rain water creates a storm drainage burden that must be remediated through a tax, but
will not allow a homeowner to catch and use that rainwater, thereby eliminating this
storm drainage burden . Homeowners should be encouraged to use low flow toilets, low
flow showerheads, drip irrigation for flowerbeds and gardens; if not through a rebate
program then at least through an education program, classes, product
recommendations, and so forth . Some considerable thought should be given to the
problems faced by a family trying to plan a family budget and the effects of a constantly
y -.3
changing water bill which seems to be out of their control. A family should be able to
predict its water bill with some certainty, even through periods of drought. I suggest that
the city should use a base rate which completely accounts for the cost of the system
operations, plus a reasonable amount of water for household use and landscaping;
(with an allowance for trees and gardens, as mentioned earlier) and then have a
surcharge for excessive use , and an even higher rate for usage that is clearly wasteful
or abusive . Under this scenario, a family could reasonably plan and know its costs, and
would be encouraged to not abuse or waste this water resource , but would be
encouraged to have trees, a garden , flowers and so forth . The rate paid by apartment
dwellers should take into account that someone else , i .e . homeowners and the City
through its parks, is paying the cost of the landscaping amenities, trees, lawns, and so
forth which we all enjoy in this SUBURBAN environment In Summary, we all know that
waste is bad. Now we need to recognize that the quality of life in Eng/wood, in the
future , will be determined by how we allow and encourage appropriate use of the water
resources we own , and which we are constantly reminded that are more than adequate .
Our Conservation Plan should plan for not just water conservation , but should embrace
innovative water saving technologies to "stretch " the water we can use , and should
ENCOURAGE THE APPROPRIATE USE OF WATER , using our pricing mechanism to
insure that we have the kind of landscaping, trees, gardens, flowers and water efficient
landscaping that will "Keep Englewood Beautiful" and provide a high quality of life for
our residents and businesses.
RESPONSE:
See prior response on "Xeriscape Programs and Measures".
Water Rates
There were several comments provided regarding water rates . One comment
suggested that the City should use a base rate which accounts for the cost of the
system operations, plus a reasonable amount of water for household use and
landscaping ; (with an allowance for trees and gardens) and then have a surcharge for
excessive use , and an even higher rate for usage that is clearly wasteful or abusive .
Incorporated into the conservation plan is a future water rate study . The study will
consider all of the elements of this comment and determine if any changes need to be
made to Englewood's current water rate structure .
Public Education
A couple of comments were provided regarding public education. Based on the City 's
screening criteria {1. staff time. 2. financial implications and 3 . political ramifications),
the City does not currently have the staff or financial resources to devote to educational
classes . However. the plan includes educational kits. pub lic education through
newsletter. bill stutters and the city website. online access to wa ter bill and history and
distribution of ET irrigation scheduling in water bill . The City will re-evaluate education
measures and programs with future water conservation planning efforts .
Comment 3: Page ES-1 . Paragraph 3; table ES1 would seem to indicate that water
used should be 70 ,677 AF (or are you referring to a savings?). Page 12 , reference to
fig 2.4 ; do we really charge less for more consumption? $2.04 for heavier users vs.
$3 .29 for lighter users ... That would seem to discourage conservation . Page 15,
reference to fig 2.5 should be 2.6 (or vice versa).
RESPONSE:
A comment was made regarding t he fact that Englewood 's current rate structure
charges less per 1,000 gallons for water consumption over 400 ,000 gallons. The
current rate structure recognizes that large users. as a class. do not contribute to the
peaking cost of the system as much as the smaller users . It is unlikely that residents
will reach the 400.000 gallon threshold. As mentioned previously, a future water rate
study will evaluate the current water rates and determine if any changes need to be
made to Englewood 's current water rate structure.
Comment 4: Table 2.2. Where are the Rainfall numbers from? Englewood, Watershed
from where we get our water, snowpack, does it exclude our snowfall, etc.? .... I'd like
to see a reference . Figure 2.5. on the Y axis it is really easy to (mentally) put a comma
where there is a period in the Y values; I would recommend using the number without
decimals (e .g .1000) or with only one decimal (e .g. 1000 .0) ..... or just use billion gallons
with one decimal. Pretty amazing how water use has gone down (3 billion to 2 billion)
.... Something was really done right to get this to happen! Figures 2.1 and 2.2 need to
be readable (higher resolution?). Figure 2.2. Englewood Water (Mains/Lines?) over 8
inches in Diameter. I know what you mean but citizens might not.
RESPONSE:
The rainfall numbers come from the National Weather Service out of Denver International
Airport. Other recommended corrections are being taken into consi deration.
Comment 5: I 've attached a brochure from the City of Calgary, Alberta , that encourages
residents to collect rainwater for their landscape watering. I suggest that Englewood
consider this practice . Ottawa , Ontario, Convention Centre collects rainwater for toilet
and urinal flushing saving 359, 000 gallons per year--another practical conservation
approach.
I appreciate that this is a Water Conservation Plan but I think it concentrates too much
on reducing water use including punitive measures, and not enough on efficient use of
the resource. I believe the plan should discuss collaboration with other City departments
to achieve some of the goals. For instance working with Parks and Recreation for
educational seminars and even gardens and alternative grasses for lawns, or
Community Development to achieve a balance between landscaping requirements and
water use.
Englewood participates in the Arbor Day Foundations Tree City program promoting a
healthy urban forest . Water plays an essential part in maintaining that urban forest. The
only mention of trees in the entire plan is on page 25 where it talks about removing
native tree species as a way of conserving water! EMC 16-6-7 details required
landscaping standards for new development and again this plan doesn't really address
the water use issues presented by these City requirements.
Public education is an essential element if this plan is to succeed, but aside from the
Pipeline publication, while widely distributed I suspect isn 't widely read, there seems to
be little else. In fact, according to Page 27 Xeriscape education is left to Denver Water.
While the Water Day for school children is a laudable program, it is the parents who
make most of the water use decisions I would hate to see Englewood buried in
mountains of crushed rock simply because it requires less water.
RESPONSE:
Rainwater Harvesting and Graywater Reuse
There were a couple of comments made regarding rainwater harvesting and
incorporating the practice into this plan. Capturing rainwater is an ongoing issue in
Colorado. and it is not allowed if it will injure vested water rights. For the most part,
Colorado law does not allow homeowner to collect or use rainwater runoff from roofs
unless their only source of water is a well on the property.
In 2009, however, the Colorado State Legislature passed two laws that carve out
exemptions from the general rule. The first law says that if you are not served by a
domestic water system and you are located in a designated ground water basin or your
collection system qualifies as exempt from 37-92-602(1 )(g)(I), you are allowed to
capture rainwater for household, fire protection. stock watering and irrigation of up to
one acre of lawns and gardens as long as it is applied to uses specified in the well
permit that applies to your property. The second law allows the State to participate in a
study of 10 new developments to determine the impact of capturing rainwater on
streams, rivers and tributary groundwater.
Additionally a couple of comments were made regarding graywater reuse. The term
"graywater'' means discharges from bathroom and laundry room sinks. bathtubs.
showers, laundry machines and other sources authorized by the Colorado Water
Quality Control Commission. In May 2013. the Colorado General Assembly passed
House Bill 1044, which authorized the use of graywater. The majority of Englewood 's
4 -(.,
water rights do not allow for reuse. particularly if that reuse invo lves further consumption
of the water.
See prior response , "Xeriscape Programs and Measures ."
Comment 6: Every toilet that is in an Englewood controlled building should be modified
or replaced with low usage ones fire stations, police buildings, court houses Englewood
Public buildings, etc. all !
RESPONSE:
City Building Fixtures
A comment was made that every toilet that is in an Englewood controlled building
should be modified or replaced with low usage toilets . Currently, as new toilets and
fixtures are needed in City buildings, low water use fixtures are used as a replacement.
Comment 7: "Water Conservation Plan" Will we keep the code below? It does not
require all flat rate customers to be updated. Is that correct?
RESPONSE:
Metering
The Englewood Municipal Code includes a requirement for all flat-rate customers to
install approved water meters when they sell or t ransfer their property . The Code
states : All owners of property having unmetered water service shall be required to
install approved water meter within ninety (90) days after the sale or transfer of the
property or change in property use from residential to commercial or industrial.
Whenever a meter is to be installed. it shall be supplied by the Englewood Utilities
Department at the owners cost.
Comment 8: After reading Mr. Woullard's article in the Hub regarding water
conservation , it really peaked my interest as I am one of the 10, 00[0] plus homes on a
water meter.
I understand there are 2, 07 4 single family dwellings under the flat rate system, and I am
sure several of these homeowners are trying to conserve water. However, there are a
percentage of these homes that are taking advantage of this system. I have a neighbor
that will use one of the fountain type sprinklers. They will se t it in one spot in the
morning and it will still be in the same spot in the afternoon. When confronted as to why
they would do such a thing there comment is "we don't care we don't pay for water." In
addition I drive S. Logan to Belleview to and from work every week. There are a few
houses where the water is on in the afternoons prior to 6:00 pm. I do not know whether
these homes are metered or on the flat rate system, either way they should not be
watering during the heat of the day.
My opinion is that all single family dwellings should have a meter installed sooner than
later.

Wastewater Collection
System Maintenance
Standard Agreement for City
of Sheridan
STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
City Council approved a standard sanitary sewer connector's agreement in January 1988.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
At their August 13, 2013 meeting the Englewood Water and Sewer Board recommended
Council approval of the City of Sheridan Wastewater Collection System Maintenance Standard
Agreement.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The maintenance agreements are to enable Englewood to perform sewer maintenance on
adjacent districts that are too small to fund their own maintenance program. By having a
larger service area, the additional revenue allows Englewood to purchase better equipment,
which also benefits the inside City residents. This also provides a uniform standard of service
for the adjacent sanitation districts and insures that lines are flushed at least once a year.
Englewood currently performs sewer maintenance services for the City of Cherry Hills Village,
South Englewood Sanitation District and the City of Sheridan. The purpose of the proposed
Wastewater Collection System Maintenance Standard Agreement form is to standardize these
agreements.
Other districts, like Southgate are large enough to have their own maintenance crews or
contract their maintenance with an established private company. In the agreement the
districts will continue to own the mains in their district and be responsible for capital
improvements .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Englewood bills and collects inside City sewer rates from these outside district customers,
which include maintenance fees .

WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
An Agreement, dated this __ day of __________ , 20_,
between the ~--------------------~------~
(System Owner or Owner) and the City of Englewood, a Colorado municipality(Englewood),
regarding the maintenance of a certain wastewater collection system (System):
WHEREAS, the Owner owns and operates a wastewater collection system, hereinafter
System, consisting of easements, collector and transmission lines, cleanouts and manholes
(system facilities), this system is used to provide sanitary sewer service to the system's customers
in parts of Arapahoe County; and
WHEREAS, the System Owner's wastewater collection system is shown on Exhibit "A",
attached hereto and incmporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, Owner does not currently own or operate any maintenance equipment for such a
system; and
WHEREAS, Englewood owns and operates its own wastewater collection system, exclusive
of the Owner's system, and has the equipment and personnel available to maintain the Owner's
system as well as its own system;
Now, therefore, Owner and Englewood hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Englewood shall provide normal, routine, flushing and cleaning maintenance services for
the Collection System facilities, as shown in Exhibit A, as needed to provide efficient,
continuous and economical service within the Owner's System. Flushing and cleaning of
the System shall be considered normal and routine maintenance.
2. Englewood's maintenance of all system facilities in the System, except for the construction
of new or additional facilities, shall include:
(a) The annual cleaning and inspection of the System as described in Exhibit A. Such
cleaning and inspecting may include visual and TV inspections, root-sawing,
chemical line treatment and the jet flushing of lines, as conditions warrant.
(b) Responding to all emergency calls and taking the appropriate remedial action and
deanup.--if necessary~-tlie 6wner -wi1f pay._for -tlie -deanup fesultiiig fronia sfoppage
or backup in any customer's individual service line caused by a malfunction in an
Owner's line. Englewood, without prior approval from the Owner, is authorized to
contract for any such cleanup, which the Owner hereby agrees to pay. If the
malfunction in an Owner's line is occasioned by Englewood's actions, Englewood
shall pay for the cleanup. This determination shall be solely Englewood's.
s-3
(c) Englewood shall respond to requests to locate the sewer mains, collector lines and
manholes in this system. Englewood will not be responsible for locating privately
owned sewer service laterals in this system other than to indicate where the laterals
are connected to the mains to the best of Englewood's knowledge as indicated by it's
records.
(d) Englewood shall be responsible for marking all Owner's facilities and System upon
notice from the statewide one-call system, UNCC or its successor, pursuant to C.R.S.
9-1.5-101, et seq., marking the same in the manner and within the time established by
that statute. Englewood shall be responsible for the marking only; the Owner shall
pay the monthly fees to UNCC or its successor to notify Englewood to make such
markings.
3. Owner agrees that it will assume ownership of any existing wastewater Collection System
facilities within the Collection System to facilitate this mainten ance agreement with
Englewood. Any additional service facilities needed to serve the area shall be constructed
at the Owner's expense, to Englewood standards, and the Owner agrees to assume
ownership of the Collection System upon the deeding to the Owner by the property
owners. Ownership shall be by written conveyance. However, each such conveyance must
be approved by Englewood before it become.s a part of the Collection System which is the
subject of this Agreement.
4. Owner shall continue to own the Collection System. Any rights-of-way utilized in the
system shall continue to be held in Owner's name and shall be maintained by Owner.
Owner further agrees to acquire and hold right-of-ways or easements of sufficient size to
permit operation and maintenance activities on any public or private property where
existing or future facilities are located, and to maintain those rights-of-way and easements
free of landscaping, structures or other obstructions which would interfere with
Englewood's maintenance obligations under this Agreement. Englewood shall not be
obligated to maintain sewer lines where adequate right-of-way, free and clear of
landscaping or obstructions does not exist. In such circumstances, if authorized in writing
by Owner, Englewood at its option, may attempt to perform the maintenance without any
liability whatsoever for damage to private property.
5. Prior to the Parties entering into this Agreement for wastewater Collection System
maintenance, the Collection System shall be televised and videotaped to determine the
condition of the system. The cost of this procedure shall be borne by System Owner and
the video tape shall be provided to Englewood. Any repair or rehabilitation necessitated,
~th~_ 9p_~9n _qf ~l'lgl.~~~o~~ s~ag _~e ~t-~_h.:~ ~~le _C'.~p_e~_s.~ ()f ()_~~~· ..
6. Customers on the System shall have additional fees added to their existing wastewater
treatment bills to cover the cost of providing this maintenance service. The amount added
for normal, routine flushing and cleaning maintenance services shall be at a rate which is
based on the same estimated annual cost per linear foot of sewer main that Englewood
charges for normal, routine flushing and cleaning within the Englewood Wastewater
Collection System. The rate may be changed from time to time, but the amount shall be
the rate necessary for Englewood to recover its normal maintenance costs for the Owner's
System. It is the intent of this agreement that Englewood recover from Owner, the amount
of revenue necessary to cover its reasonable maintenance costs and avoid a situation where
the citizens of Englewood subsidize customers of the Owner's System.
2 s-"I
In the alternative, for the services rendered as herein defined, the System Owner may elect
to pay to Englewood an annual maintenance fee as established or amended from time to
time by the City, during the term of this Agreement. This fee shall be payable quarterly, in
arrears by the 10th day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter, one-fourth
(1/4) of the annual amount. Payments for any partial calendar quarter at the beginning or
the end of this Agreement shall be prorated based on the number of days of service
provided by Englewood, divided by the number of calendar days in the quarter affected.
All payments made pursuant to this Agreement, shall be to the City of Englewood,
Department of Utilities, and remitted in care of the Director of Utilities at 1000 Englewood
Parkway, Englewood, CO 80110.
7 . The Owner, by this Agreement, grants and conveys to Englewood a license, but not
ownership, over all the wastewater facilities in the System. System Owner agrees that it
will not exercise any dominion whatsoever over any of the wastewater collection facilities
in the system which are inconsistent with the performance by Englewood of its rights and
obligations hereunder. It is agreed that "license'', as used in this Agreement, shall mean
the right to use, connect, disconnect, modify, rehabilitate, extend, enlarge, replace,
improve, convey, abandon or otherwise dispose of any and all of the Collection System
facilities, but only in so far as is reasonably necessary to perform Englewood's
maintenance operations under this Agreement. Should the Owner not approve the
replacement or improvement of some portion of the Collection System which does not
meet Englewood's minimum standards, Englewood may, at its option, continue to maintain
that portion to the best of its ability, but shall not be held responsible for any inadequacies
or failures of said portion which may occur as a result of the substandard condition.
Responsibility for such inadequacies or failures shall be with the Owner upon written
notice to the Owner by Englewood.
The Owner agrees that Englewood is not obligated to enlarge or extend or bring up to any
standards any existing facilities in the Collection System.
8. The Owner shall obtain and pay any fees for street cut permits for Englewood when such
permits are necessary for Collection System maintenance work. The Owner shall be
responsible for asphalt or concrete replacement costs in street or sidewalk cuts made by
Englewood for System maintenance.
9. This Agreement is contingent on Owner having a current Standard Connector's Agreement
with Englewood. If the Standard Connector's Agreement expires and is not renewed,
Englewood has the option to discontinue maintenance service to the system and to cease
collecting fees for the maintenance service. By providing maintenance service, for the ·· systeITi:-:Eriglewooet does -iiofrefoase the Owner fiom its -respo:iisibilifies ·ana ooligatforis as
set forth in the Standard Connector's Agreement, nor does Englewood, incur any liability
resulting from the maintenance of the Owner's Collection System.
10 . All general rules and regulations and amendments thereto placed in force by Englewood
concerning the operation, conditions of service and procedures relating to the installation
of new services in the System, shall be as fully enforceable in the Systemas in Englewood.
The Owner agrees to exercise its authority to enforce Englewood's applicable sanitary
sewer system ordinances and rules including those made to protect the collection and
transport systems and the treatment facilities; to assure Englewood that any new
3 s-S
installations in the Collection System are constructed to the standards of Englewood; and
to assure collection of delinquent accounts .
11 . No enlargement of the Collection System or any other amendment of this Agreement shall
be made unless it is, by mutual agreement, in writing.
12 . The Owner further agrees to abide by all applicable State and Federal laws, rules,
regulations or permits, including those of the Environmental Protection Agency System

required by the Colorado Water Quality Control Act, Article 9 of Title 25, C.R.S. The
Owner agrees to exercise its authority to assist Englewood in enforcing its applicable
sanitary sewer system ordinances and rules including those made to protect the collection
and transport systems and treatment facilities; to assure that any new installations in the
Collection System are to the standards of Englewood; and to guarantee collection of
delinquent accounts.
13. It is agreed that for failure of the Owner or Englewood to perform their duties under this
Agreement, in all its essential parts, either Party may terminate this Agreement. Prior to
such termination, the terminating Party shall provide written notice to the other Party of the
deficiency and provide adequate time, not to exceed one year to correct these deficiencies.
not to exceed one year. Not withstanding the above, Englewood shall always have the
option to discontinue maintenance services to the Collection System at its discretion by
providing six ( 6) months written notice.
14. The term of this Agreement shall be for three (3) years beginning from the effective date of
this Agreement. At the end of that term, if both agree, this Agreement may be renewed by
Englewood in three (3) year increments . After the first three (3 ) year extension, the Owner
or Englewood may discontinue this Agreement at any time with written notification not
less than one year prior to the desired ending date or, in the case of Englewood six (6)
months as noted above. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated and budgeted by the
governing body or are otherwise unavailable by any means whatsoever in any following
fiscal period, the government entities subject to TABOR limitations may terminate this
Agreement at the end of any fiscal year. The Parties agree that nothing herein is intended
to create a multi-year obligation or indebtedness in violation of Article XX Section 10 of
the Colorado Constitution and that any obligation of the parties is contingent upon their
City Council's annual appropriation of funds~
15. System Owner shall have the ability to place appropriate and legal charges on the sewer
bills sent to customers within the system. Englewood agrees to collect such charges at the

hereinafter called "Sheridan," acting by and through its authorized Mayor and City Clerk.
WITNESS ETH
WHEREAS , the City owns and operates a sewage system, including a sewage treatment plant
which is jointly owned and operated with the City of Littleton, so situated physically as to be
able to receive and treat the sewage from a designated area served by Sheridan and gathered by
Sheridan's sanitary-sewage system; and
WHEREAS , it is the desire of Sheridan to utilize the facilities owned by the City for the
treatment of sewage and the City is willing to serve designated area of Sheridan for treatment of

Based on that letter and several meetings to discuss the various retrofit alternatives , it is our
understanding that the City of Englewood (City) has elected to proceed with Option B, which includes
repair to the concrete slabs and a new roof membrane over lightweight insulating concrete. It is our
current understanding that the City would like repair documents detailing this work for both rectangular
tanks in the South Clarkson water storage facility . The following proposal outlines our anticipated scope
of services based on our previou s meetings with City representatives and the City's Request for Proposal
(RFP) dated July 3, 2013 .
Scope of Services
The City 's RFP specifically outlines the following tasks :
• Task 1 -Design of the roof retrofits
• Task 2 -Bid package preparation

Based on your request and WJE's experience on many similar concrete rehabilitation and roofing
projects, we propose the following services for Task 1.
• Conduct a site investigation to determine the extents of the concrete deterioration and accurately
define repair quantities and to design and detail the new roof system. WJE completed a thorough
investigation of the tanks in late 2011. Since that time, it is likely that the concrete repair
quantities have increased. Access to the interior of the tank would be useful in completing this
portion of the work.
• Based on the information gathered during the site investigation, WJE will complete the design
work and prepare Construction Documents including all applicab le City Fonns and schedules,
specifications, drawings , details and infonnation required to create a complete bid package for the
project. Accompanying this submittal, WJE will provide a detailed cost estimate of expected
construction costs for the project. WJE will respond to review comments and will incorporate
appropriate changes into the construction documents .
Task 2 -Bid Package Preparation
• Conduct a mandatory prebid meeting.
• WJE will provide technical services during the bid process and will provide support of the
construction documents with any clarifications that are needed. If necessary, we will issue
addenda to the bidding documents during the bidding process.
• Assist you in reviewing the bids and contractor qualifications. Based on our evaluation of these
two components, provide recommendations for award of the contract.
Task 3 -Construction Services
As part of Task 3, we would provide construction administration services and technical oversight of the
repairs. Specifically, we propose the following services: ·
• Assist the City in developing a final project budget and schedule.
• Provide periodic observations of the work and issue construction observation reports (CORs). We
anticipate two to three site visits per week for the duration of the construction project.
• Special inspections to be performed by third party testing agencies will be outlined on the
construction documents . When a third party testing agency is required for special inspections ,
WJE will work with the City and the contractor to ensure these inspections are completed. Please

CHANGE ORDER No. 02
SCOPE OF CHANGE
DESCRJPTION
I. PCO 8.1: Tee Wall
Reason : The tee wall was added to support the northern wall of the existing clear well
inlet channel. The existing wall was originally installed with minimal reinforcement and
needed to be penetrated during construction to accommodate the clear well bypass pipe .
The tee wall added support to the existing structure to protect against failure once the
facility is back on line and the inlet channel is flooded .
Cost: $ 7,408.00
Time: 0 days
2 . PCO 9: Structural Enclosure Roof
Reason: Due to differences between actual existing building conditions and as-build
drawings , the stamped structural enclosure drawings required revision of dimensional
information . Also, the alignment of the overflow scuppers along existing north wall of
the pump station conflicted with the planned elevation of the structural enclosure
attachments . For this reason, the elevation of the connection between the structural
enclosure and the existing wall was modified altering the overall slope of the enclosure
roof. In order to accommodate existing conditions and the conflict, the drawings were
revised and re-stamped . This PCO covers the cost for re-stamping the structural
enclosure drawings .
Cost: $ 964 .00
Time: 0 days
3. PCO 10.1: UV Conduits
Reason : Additional conduits were required to facilitate the installation of the UV units .
Two additional l " conduits were provided for each UV unit and were placed within the
building slab . PCO 10.1 covers material and installation costs for the additional conduits .
Cost: $ 27,023.00
Time: 0 days
8-3 C002
CDMth Sm1
4. PCO 11: Cooling Fan Circuit
Reason: During construction, it was noted that the existing transformer utilized a cooling
fan which was powered independently from the transformer unit. Power to the cooling
fan was not included in the original contract drawings and was added during installation
of the new switchgear.
Cost: $ 1,535 .00
Time: 0 days
5. PCO 12: EM Lighting Circuit
Reason: An additional circuit was added to provide power to the existing electrical room
and pump room lighting panel.
Cost: $ 1,244.00
Time: 0 days
6. PCO 13: Instruments and HVAC Circuit
Reason: Additional circuits were added to provide power to the water quality instruments
and to the HV AC equipment located in the UV building basement.
Cost: $ 5,093.00
Time: 0 days
7. PCO 14: Additional Sample Line Devices
Reason: RFI 19 detailed the design intent for the sample sink supply piping and
instrument supply piping corning from the outlet channel sample pump. PCO 14 covers
the addition of piping, valves and appurtenances necessary for the installation of the
sample water system.
Cost: $ 1,291.00
Time: 0 days
8. PCO 15: Stucco Removal
Reason: RFI 29 noted that the installation of the structural enclosure would require the
removal of the stucco fa<;:ade from the existing pump station wall along the entire length
of the structural enclosure roof, rather than just at the points of connection as originally
anticipated. Correct installation required the addition of elastomeric coating to the
modified stucco and additional flashing.
Cost: $ 1,466.00
Time: 0 days

CDMth Sm1
9 . PCO 16: Containment Curb
Reason : Installation of the new electrical lines between the new switchgear and the
existing electrical room was modified to accommodate the existing structure. The
routing as shown on the contract drawings conflicted with an existing beam. To facilitate
the installation of the new conduits, the existing chemical delivery containment curb had
to be demolished and replaced .

Subject: Allen Water Treatment Plant Residuals Management and Disposal Evaluation
Dear Mr. Abouaish :
The City of Englewood (City) is conducting an evaluation of potential options for the management and
disposal of treatment residuals generated at the Allen Water Treatment Plant (Plant) that have elevated
concentrations of radionuclides . This evaluation will provide information so that the City can select and
implement a long-term , cost effective strategy. At the request of the City, ARCADIS prepared the following
proposal for this evaluation. We are pleased to offer a highly qualified team of experts to support the City
with this challenging project. The key benefits of our team include:
•
•
Extensive Work on Radionuclides in Water Systems in Colorado: we have worked with over 30
utilities in Colorado to evaluate and address issues with radionuclides. We understand the complex
regulatory framework governing waste management in Colorado , local geologic and water quality issues
associated with radionuclides , and have extensive experience evaluating options and cost implications
for the ultimate disposal of wastes. The City can leverage this experience to efficiently evaluate the
magnitude of risk associated with radionuclides in in the Plant residuals and select the best option for
long-term management/disposal.
Experience and Relationships with Regulators: our work in Colorado has been conducted in close
collaboration with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) using the Final
Draft Interim Policy and Guidance Pending Rulemaking for Control and Disposition of TENORM in
Colorado as a roadmap. During the last six years , we have developed relationships with a wide variety
of CDPHE staff that cross multiple divisions , including Water Quality Control , Waste Management, and
Hazardous Materials . We will use this experience to help the City navigate the complex regulatory
framework that impacts the management and disposal of radionuclide-laden materials.
• Team of Experts in a Variety of Disciplines: we are offering a senior-level team experts to help the
City evaluate these complicated radionuclide issues. This includes experts in water treatment, water
quality, geochemistry and radionuclide fate/transport, industrial hygiene , and radiation exposure. This
expertise will help the City assess the risks associated with radionuclides accumulation in treatment
residuals and identify the most cost-effective and safe strategies to mitigate the risks .
The following sections of the proposal identify ou r team , present our understanding of the project
background , discuss ou r proposed approach, identify a preliminary schedule , and present ou r labor and
fee estimate.

The City owns the Allen Water Treatment Plant (Plant). While the drinking water produced at the Plant
meets all drinking water standards, there are low levels of naturally occurring radionuclides in the source
water that are removed through treatment and ultimately reside in the residuals generated at the Plant. As
such, the residuals generated at the Plant are considered Technologically-Enhanced Naturally Occurring
Radioactive Materials (TENORM) and have additional disposal considerations based on the State of
Colorado's regulatory requirements . The City is seeking assistance with an evaluation of options to cost
effectively dispose of the residuals and has requested this proposal from ARCADIS to assist with the
development and assessment of two options:
• Option 1: Discharge Residuals to the Sewer: this option includes discharging Plant TENORM
to the sewer for ultimate treatment and disposal at the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment
Plant (WWTP).
• Option 2: Dispose Solids at an Existing Waste Disposal Facility: work with an existing waste
disposal facility that is not currently capable of accepting TENORM and assisting them with
required permitting requirements so that they can accept Plant TENORM in the future.
SECTION 3: SCOPE OF WORK
The following summarizes the proposed scope for assisting the City with the evaluation and
implementation of the TENORM management solution. ARCADIS is recommending a collaborative
approach with the City that includes routine communication and meetings -our experience is that this is
the best strategy to help the City efficiently identify and implement the most beneficial TENORM
management solution that also meets regulatory requirements. The proposed project consists of two
tasks that are further described in the following sections of this proposal:
• Task 1 -Evaluation of Discharging Residuals to the Sewer
• Task 2 -Evaluation of Existing Waste Disposal Facilities
Task 1: Evaluation of Discharging Residuals to the Sewer
Task 1.1: Data Review and Task 1 Kickoff Workshop
ARCADIS will develop an information request list that will include the following examples:
• Plant and WWTP information
o Process flow diagram and residuals management description for each facility
o Annual flow data
o Radionuclide data
o Residuals characterization data
o Relevant operation/maintenance cost information
o Site plans and drawings
• Prior TENORM studies

The data will be used to develop a simplified mass balance of radionuclide activity and help determine
conceptual design criteria that will be used in subsequent tasks. Data gaps will also be identified and if
there are significant gaps, additional sampling may be required to develop a more accurate mass balance
(sample plan development and analytical costs are not included as part of this scope of work).
Additionally, ARCADIS will evaluate key conditions set forth by the Radioactive Materials Unit of CDPHE
as identified in the March 12, 2013 e-mail communication between Jennifer Opila (CDPHE) and Jonathan
Bridges (Plant staff) to determine the potential for approval of discharge of water treatment residuals
containing TENORM into the sanitary sewer. The identified conditions included:
1) Any required permits have been obtained from the Department's Water Quality Control Division as
per the Colorado Discharge Permits System (COPS).
2) The residuals are "readily soluble." The following document may be used to determine whether or
not a residual would qualify: USNRC 1994. Information Notice 94-07: Solubility Criteria For Liquid
Effluent Releases To Sanitary Sewerage Under The Revised 10 CRFR Part 20 U.S . Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC.
3) The concentration of radioactive material released into the sewer does not exceed the
concentration listed in Table 483 of Appendix 48 of the Rules and Regulations Pertaining to
Radiation Control (see below for values for TENORM); and if more than one radionuclide is
released, the following conditions must also be satisfied:
The discharger shall determine the fraction of the limit in Table 483 of Appendix 48 represented
by discharges into sanitary sewerage by dividing the actual concentration of each radionuclide
released into the sewer by the concentration of that radionuclide listed in Table 483 of Appendix
4B;and
The sum of the fractions for each radionuclide does not exceed unity, and
The total quantity of radioactive material that is released into the sanitary sewerage in a year does
not exceed 37 GBq (1 Ci)
The Table 483 of Appendix 48 values for TENORM are as follows: Ra-226 = 6E-7 µCi/ml, Ra-228
= 6E-7 µCi/ml, U-Nat = 3E-6 µCi/ml, Th-232 = 3E-7 µCi/ml
4) The discharger must receive approval from the POTW prior to .initiating any discharge to the
sewerage system.

The preliminary results of this evaluation will be presented as part of Task 1 Kickoff Workshop. The
primary goals of the meeting include:
• Review and confirm the project goals
• Discuss project communications and management strategies
• Review the results of the preliminary data review
Deliverables:
• Information request list
• Data summary in Excel
• Task 1 Kickoff Workshop facilitation (it is assumed that this session will last three hours in
duration) and presentation materials
• Task 1 Kickoff Workshop summary notes
Task 1.2: Evaluate Discharging Residuals to Sewer
ARCADIS will conduct a site visit of both the Plant and WWTP. The purpose of these visits will be to visit
facilities, document operational practices, and meet with staff to discuss facility-specific considerations for
the potential TENORM disposal options. During this visit, specific infrastructure improvements or
significant changes to operational strategies will be documented. Based on the site visits, kickoff meeting
decisions and results of the conditions set forth by CDPHE, ARCADIS will evaluate:
• Feasibility of discharging residuals to the sewer based on the conditions set forth by the
Radioactive Materials Unit (CDPHE)
• Cost estimate
o Capital costs
o O&M costs
ARCADIS will develop an American Academy of Cost Estimators (AACE) Class IV cost estimate. The
AACE Class IV estimate is based on Study Level or Feasibility. Typically, Class IV cost estimates have a
variation of actual costs from the cost estimate of negative 15% to 30% on the low end, and positive 20%
to 50% on the high end. Potential cost elements will include:
• Capital costs -water treatment plant improvement
o WTP retrofit (discharge piping for Task 1 evaluation)
o Estimated cost factors based on a percentage of total capital costs which may include:
• Site civil
• Mechanical/heading, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
• Electrical and instrumentation/controls
• Engineering
• General conditions and legal
• If applicable , increased operations and maintenance costs will be identified

with each of the two selected landfills . At the meeting ARCADIS will use an interview guide approved by
the City to gather information. The interview guide will consist of approximately 10 to 15 questions. It is
assumed each meeting will last up to two hours.
ARCADIS will also work with CDPHE to confirm the steps needed to allow landfills to accept TENORM
residuals . This will include a meeting at CDPHE offices.
Based on these conversations, ARCADIS will develop AACE Level IV cost estimate for each landfill
option, which may include:
• Operations and maintenance costs , such as:
o Landfill disposal
o Hauling
o Staffing

STAFF SOURCE
Stewart H. Fonda, Director of Utilities
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
None.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Water and Sewer Board, at their September 10, 2013 meeting, recommended Council
approval of a Bill for an Ordinance approving Columbine Supplement #5 .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
A request was made by Columbine Water and Sanitation District and Valley Sanitation District.
The requested supplement area is in the Columbine District but the sewage is transported
through Valley Sanitation lines, so Valley Sanitation District approval is also required .
The City of Englewood provides sewage treatment to a population of about 70,000 people
outside the City through contracts with numerous connector districts. By contract the City of
Englewood must approve any additions of land to be served by the districts. These are
usually in-fill situations that are within what the City considers to be the area it has committed
to serve. Adequate capacity has been provided in the treatment plant to accommodate all
such future inclusions. Annexation of this parcel of land will not increase the tap allocation to
the Valley or Columbine Sanitation Districts.
The landowner, Taylor Morrison of Colorado, Inc. is requesting inclusion into the Columbine
Water and Sanitation District and Valley Sanitation District. Supplement #5 is for 31 taps for a
residential development consisting of 31 patio homes, all located on approximately 9 .63 acres .
The legal is attached as Exhibit A. The property is located on the southeast corner of West
Bowles Avenue and Middlefield Road in the Town of Columbine Valley. The name of the
development is The Cottages at Columbine Valley, currently the Wolf property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
