PUBLIC COMMENT
There was no public comment.
Matt Stouder, MWMC General Manager, welcomed back George Poling, City of Eugene Councilor, to the Commission.
PROPOSED SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES (SDC) MODIFICATION
Katherine Bishop, ESD Program Manager, stated that the MWMC SDCs were reviewed to ensure
equity and fairness pursuant of ORS 223.309. The modification was not a methodology change but rather a refreshing of the Capital Project list, reflecting the change in the revenue bonds, and
bringing in the SRF loans that were not previously within the calculation. A written notification was
sent out on December 9, 2016 to interested parties regarding the public hearing to be held on
January 13, 2017. A link to documents regarding the SDC modification was posted on the MWMC website as well as available at the City of Springfield. A public notice was published in the Register Guard newspaper on January 3, 2017 regarding the public hearing.
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 2 of 8
Ms. Bishop stated that each year, on July 1, the MWMC SDCs are adjusted for inflation based on the Engineering News Record (ENR) Cost of Construction Index (CCI). There will be no inflationary adjustment in 2017. The adjustment would have been 3% which is more than what the
change will be with this modification. The proposed 2017 SDC Fee Schedule is planned for
implementation by the Cities of Springfield and Eugene on March 1, 2017.
Mr. Stouder added that staff reached out to the Home Builder’s Association to let them know about the public hearing and about the increase for low strength users and the fact that the
increase will be lower than the standard CCI increase. They were appreciative of the information
and informed us that they had no concerns at that time.
Public Hearing: Vice-President Inge opened the public hearing for the proposed 2017 MWMC SDC schedule. There were no members of the public requesting to speak. Vice-President Inge
closed the public hearing.
MOTION: IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER KEELER TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 17-01 TO MODIFY THE CAPITAL PROJECT LIST FOR SDCs AND MODIFY THE FEE SCHEDULE. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER STEWART.
THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 5/0.
Ms. Bishop added that Springfield City Council will be looking at these fees at their February 6
meeting and Eugene City Council at their February 13 meeting. March 1, 2017 is the planned implementation date.
FY 2015-16 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORT
Meg Allocco, MWMC Accountant, introduced Ryan Pasquarella, from the independent audit firm Grove, Mueller and Swank, P.C. Ms. Allocco stated in October, the budget based results showed MWMC’s revenues were on track and the expenses were under by 4%. At that point, audit
adjustments were made to bring things to full accrual, following all the government accounting
policies and standards.
Mr. Pasquarella stated the MWMC is required to get an audit annually by the state of Oregon because of the amount of money that the MWMC spends. The audit must be performed in
accordance with government auditing standards. Because of the debt that MWMC has with the
DEQ, another layer is added to the audit.
Mr. Pasquarella went over the two-page letter addressed to MWMC’s governing board. It contains a rundown of the audit. There were no issues with management; they were very helpful in getting
the information to the audit firm. The Financial Statements are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. On page six of the audit report, is the Statements of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. In this report the two expenses, Operations and Maintenance, and Administration, show a significant increase between 2015 and 2016. The increase was due to the net pension liability. The reason for the increase was because both Cities
(Springfield and Eugene) implemented new accounting and reporting standards for pensions. To
further complicate the matter, the State’s Legislature passed pension reforms in a prior year that
resulted in the Cities PERS net pension liability becoming a net pension asset in 2015.
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 3 of 8
Mr. Pasquarella said one of the big things that occurred over FY 2015-16 was the MWMC paid off some debt and made an advance refunding on other debt. At the beginning of the fiscal year there
was over $73M in bonded debt and at the end of the fiscal year it was down to $32.7M. Over
$40M of debt was paid off which caused the overall cash to go down to $30M.
Mr. Pasquarella said one other thing to bring to the Commission’s attention was during the audit they discovered some of the capital assets were incorrect. The MWMC replaced the accounting
tool used for tracking capital assets and calculating depreciation. As a result, it was discovered
that some assets were over-depreciated in prior years resulting in higher depreciation expense
and lower net asset value. An adjustment to correct the beginning net position and capital asset and accumulated depreciation was made. The adjustment relates specifically to Gap Reporting rather than the budgetary reporting that happens from day to day. Depreciation is recorded at the
end of the year and has no bearing on cash.
Ms. Allocco stated that a new accounting tool was being used for tracking capital assets and calculating depreciation. It is a more transparent procedure than what was previously used and has both Eugene and Springfield double checking each other on the MWMC’s assets.
Commissioner Ruffier asked if the PERS liability was loaded all in one year. Mr. Pasquarella said
yes, the whole liability went on the books this year under long-term liabilities. As the Tier 1 employees start retiring, the MWMC’s liability will go down.
Ms. Allocco added it was a new accounting standard that just went into effect; that is why it went
on all at once. It will be updated from year to year.
Mr. Pasquarella expressed his appreciation of the accounting staff, stating they are very professional.
MOTION: IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER POLING TO ACCEPT THE ANNUAL
FINANCIAL REPORT, INCLUDING THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FY 2015-16. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER RUFFIER. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 5/0.
FY 2017-18 BUDGET KICK-OFF: KEY OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Mr. Stouder said there was a 2% rate increase in FY 2016-17, which resulted in a 49 cent per month increase for a typical residential customer. The philosophy for the last several years has
been small incremental rate increases over time to help pay off the MWMC’s debt. With the bond
refunding, the goal is to build the Capital Reserves back. Total revenues are on target year-to-
date with SDC revenues performing above target. The expenditures are below budget year-to-date, which is typical for this time of year because it is only halfway through the fiscal year. There are some new hires in positions that were vacant and they are starting at a lower pay grade which
results in year-to-date savings. The reserves are healthy and are being maintained at appropriate
balances per the Financial Plan. The Capital Reserves are about $33M this year, last year they
were about $50M; the difference is due to the bond refunding. The equipment replacement
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 4 of 8
reserves are about 11.7M; there will be more detail on this in March. The Insurance reserve is around $515,000 per the Commission’s direction.
Key Outcomes:
1. High Environmental Standards
2. Effective and Efficient Fiscal Management 3. Successful Intergovernmental Partnership 4. Maximize Reliability and Useful Life of Regional Assets and Infrastructure
5. Public Awareness and Understanding
Mr. Stouder stated that every year, staff looks at the indicators of these key outcomes and makes incremental changes so that the outcomes and indicators are more meaningful. Last year Key Outcome 5 was the focus; trying to help people understand what the MWMC does and raise
public awareness. Moving forward, staff intends to start making minor modifications mid-year to
make the indicators more meaningful for when we come back to the Commission next year.
Major Challenges Ahead:
Working to replenish capital reserves and budgeting to be responsive to the current bidding
climate. Things are changing in the economy so that we are seeing bids coming in over the
engineer’s estimate. Engineer’s estimates continue to climb so staff will budget
appropriately.
Meeting regulatory and permit requirements by planning for an NPDES Permit renewal and
temperature/toxics/mass loads issues.
Key Outcomes Status and Work Plan:
1. High Environmental Standards: Dave Breitenstein, Wastewater Director, stated the MWMC
has three significant permits that drive the standards; NPDES Waste Discharge permit,
1200Z Stormwater permit, and Air Contaminant Discharge permit. The MWMC has had 10
consecutive years of 100% compliance with the effluent discharge permit. The MWMC has a reclaimed water volume target to reduce the discharge and supporting environmental
attributes of the Biocycle Farm. Staff will continue to emphasize work and efforts in the
Environmental Management System (EMS). Two key objectives for the EMS program in
the coming year will be to continue to reduce power use and to develop a wildlife
management policy. The work done at the facilities has an impact on the wildlife such as clearing brush and the use of pesticides; staff wants to manage that impact.
2. Effective and Efficient Fiscal Management: As demonstrated in part by the audited
financial statements reported on in the previous presentation. Also to maintain AA insured
bond rating which demonstrates strong credit worthiness that is based on the MWMC’s
ability to repay its debt.
3. Successful Intergovernmental Partnership: Strive to maintain a high level of collaboration
and coordination between Eugene and Springfield staff to have top of the line Pretreatment
Programs. Implementation of the annual reporting for the Regional CMOM program.
4. Reliability/Useful Life of Assets: The MWMC uses Maximo, an asset management system
to electronically keep track and achieve performance goals in maintenance practices. Staff has embarked on efforts to improve the asset management programs. Recently Eugene
and Springfield staffs have been working together on a GAP analysis using Water
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 5 of 8
Environment Research Foundation (WERF) Strategic Asset Management (SAM) GAP analysis tool to improve the asset management programs.
Commissioner Inge asked if there is some kind of comparative between an industry standard for
life expectancy for a piece of equipment versus what the actual life turns out to be. Mr.
Breitenstein answered that he is not aware of any. Typically there are so many differences between facilities and agencies and the conditions that they operate under that it is hard to have an accurate estimate. There are some general guidelines for types of equipment, for example
pumps – 15 years. There are so many different kinds of pumps that it is hard to make a direct
correlation with specific equipment.
5. Public Awareness and Understanding: Mr. Stouder said that staff is planning to refresh the Communication Plan and will bring it to the Commission mid- to late-year to get feedback
on the draft. Staff plans to continue the MWMC newsletter and to increase the readership,
and to continue the plant tours. About 750 people took the tour last year; staff is looking to
keep that number up this year. Three educational videos were launched last year and are on the website. They resulted in an increase in website visits. Staff is looking at how to incorporate social media into the Communication Plan. The MWMC has a new website that
is ready to launch, it is being done in coordination with the City of Springfield’s new
website. It is expected that both websites will go live this spring.
Budget and Rate Assumptions:
Personnel Services: Ms. Bishop stated Personnel Services tends to be the largest cost on
the operating budget considering the staffing levels it takes to operate a 24/7 operation.
Personnel services are based on contracted salary and benefit programs. Springfield has a market study done every 3 years, to compare classifications and salaries to other agencies
within the market. The next market survey will be implemented by July 1, 2018. There will
not be a lot of change in the upcoming year. Eugene is doing a total compensation review
and it will be completed in March or April of 2017 and perhaps implemented in the next
fiscal year. The PERS contributions have increased this year significantly.
Materials and Services are related to ongoing maintenance of aging infrastructure and the
newer expanded infrastructure; this includes contractual services.
Capital Outlay for new purchases over $5,000 (for example: motorized vehicles/equipment)
Assumes stable revenues
Strategic transfers to Capital Fund
Capital Improvement Program Plan: Proposed CIP Budget includes 4% annual inflation which takes into consideration the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index. The
index has been averaging around 3.4%.
Equipment Replacement Reserve is strong, around $11.7M currently.
Reserves funded based on the MWMC Financial Plan and capital program requirements
Budget and Rate Strategy:
Ms. Bishop stated the strategies are to comply with Bond Covenants greater than 1.25 debt service coverage ratio; to continue use of SDC revenues to pay debt service; to make significant
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 6 of 8
capital transfers; and to remain financially positioned for permit renewal and potential construction cost increases, all while maintaining moderate and incremental rate changes.
Commissioner Ruffier asked if there was an anticipated significant increase in the SDC revenues.
Ms. Bishop replied that there had been a big push around 18 – 24 months ago which was due to
student housing in Eugene. There also has been some hotel expansion on the Springfield side (Gateway). Ms. Bishop said it is hard to anticipate because some of the projects are one time in nature as opposed to an ongoing trend. Mr. Stouder added that it is very difficult to forecast SDCs
and staff tries to be conservative in estimating the revenue. He said generally, things are more
active than they have been in the past several years.
Budget Schedule:
February 10 – Draft Capital Program presentation
March 10 – FY 2017-18 presentation and discussion on the operating budget, revenues and reserves, and rate scenarios
April 14 – Budget and User Rate public hearings and options to adopt
May 1 – Springfield City Council votes on budget
May 8 – Eugene City Council votes on budget
May 16 – Lane County Board of Commissioners votes on budget
June 9 – Final ratification of FY 2017-18 budget, rates, & capital programs by the MWMC
DISCUSSION: Commissioner Poling asked why, in the Key Outcomes, the targets were lowered
on some of the indicators. For example the volume of reclaimed water was lowered, the uninsured
bond rating was lowered from AA to A, and under Outcome 4, the maximize reliability was lowered
from 95% to 90%.
Ms. Bishop replied in regards to the uninsured bond rating, the target of A as a credit rating comes
from the adopted Financial Plan. It is the target that we do not want to fall below. It has been
fortunate that MWMC’s financials have received the AA rating.
Mr. Breitenstein replied that the reclaimed water dropping from 91M to 70M gallons was because
Unit 1 (Poplar Farm) had recently been harvested and replanted. Younger trees cannot have as
much water applied on them; that is why the adjustment was made. On Outcome #4, preventive
maintenance completed on time, the target is 90% and the actual is 95%. The target previously
was 90%.
Mr. Stouder added this is one of the reasons why staff wants to tweak the indicators to be more
meaningful and provide a snapshot of what is being done long term as well as short term. He went
on to explain, for Outcome 1 the MWMC started a high quality biosolids program which has a
policy that is more stringent than what the EPA requires, and the MWMC is able to meet that. But the indicator “compliance with environmental performance requirements of all permits” is not as
meaningful because that is something the MWMC has to do and there are penalties for not
complying. Mr. Stouder plans to show what is planned, when it is in progress, and when it is
completed.
Commissioner Keeler said when you transition indicators out because we achieved them
consistently, it doesn’t mean they don’t have value. For example, 100% permit compliance, or
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017
Page 7 of 8
meeting all the requirements of the EMS. Maybe there could be a note put into a brief narrative at the top of the key outcome describing what it is about, to set it as a baseline. Mr. Stouder said he plans on getting feedback from the Commission on what is proposed, if it is acceptable or should
be modified and kept.
Commissioner Ruffier appreciates the challenge of tweaking performance indicators and goals and coming back for more discussion. He was curious about the timing; would it be before the next fiscal year starts so you can begin tracking the new measures rather than have a gap in a
year. Commissioner Ruffier suggested taking one performance measure per meeting. Mr. Stouder
replied that they need to have things completed this fiscal year as early as April.
Vice-President Inge closed regular session at 8:28 a.m. and opened the executive session.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
The Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission met in Executive Session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(e) to conduct deliberations with persons designated by the governing body to negotiate real property transactions.
Vice-President Inge asked if any representatives of the news media were present or general
public; there were none. Staff was allowed to attend the executive session. Vice-President Inge closed the executive session at 9:30 a.m. and opened the regular session.
MOTION: IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER KEELER FOR STAFF LEADERSHIP TO
WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES TO SEE IF THEY CAN CRAFT A SALE AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE COMMISSION FOR REVIEW. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY
COMMISSIONER STEWART. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 5/0.
BUSINESS FROM COMMISSION, GENERAL MANAGER, AND WASTEWATER DIRECTOR
Commission:
Commissioner Stewart asked if a report on the Poplar Farm damage which occurred during the ice storm would be given. Mr. Stouder replied that staff had been working with FEMA;
documentation and claims have been submitted. He will forward the claim sent to FEMA to the
Commission. Mr. Breitenstein will give a brief analysis of the damage assessment. Harvesting
Unit 2 is still planned for this summer and it is planned to salvage the downed poplar.
Commissioner Stewart stated that since hemp (the fiber) is an approved product to grow, has it
been analyzed to see if it would offer any kind of benefit to the Biocycle Farm. Mr. Stouder said
he was not aware if hemp was one of the crops that staff looked into, he will follow-up with staff
on that request. o Mr. Breitenstein said from an operations point of view, staff has looked at all crops from a high level in terms of what their nitrogen loading rates are. That is why poplar was chosen,
hemp doesn’t require as much nitrogen.
MWMC Meeting Minutes January 13, 2017

Commissioner Keeler asked about the email address request for constituents. Mr. Stouder replied there is a general email account that requests come to and it is monitored by staff. If a
question comes in for one of the Commissioners, it will be forwarded to them. The elected
officials serving on the Commission will have their official emails posted on the website.
Commissioner Keeler said that was good, he just didn’t want a request to not be responded to. General Manager:
Introduced Laura Keir, the new Communication Coordinator.
Goshen, Lane County: Galardi Consulting made a records request regarding MWMC data. Items requested included: fixed asset records, current budget and debt service schedule, and
capacity and design parameters. They will compile that information and give some options for
Goshen to buy into the system. There will be a lot of discussion prior to any decisions being
made. When there is information to share, Mr. Stouder will bring it to the Commission. o Commissioner Keeler asked if the Short Mountain’s landfill leachate program is part of the Goshen request. Mr. Stouder and Commissioner Stewart both said they believe it is.
Wastewater Director:
Ice Storm: The treatment plant did fairly well but staff was busy answering power-bumps. There were at least 13 power-bumps, where everything in the plant loses power and then with
each one of those bumps, operators have to assess what came back on and what needs to be
restarted. The Cogen system has an auto restart and it worked all 13 times. There was some
electrical equipment damage because of the power-spikes and bumps. Staff had to deal with
five pump stations. The most problematic one was on Loraine Hwy at the top of Chambers. It was on generator power for quite a while. There was general debris picked up from fallen limbs
and some fence damage. The estimates for the FEMA claim, outside the Biocycle Farm,
added up to another $100,000 for overtime and equipment costs.
o Mr. Stouder added that Eugene, Springfield, EWEB, SUB, as well as others, submitted
documentation to the county to make a request to the state to request that the federal government issue a State of Emergency for Lane County. The estimated damage in
Lane County was around $9.5 to $10M. If it does get accepted, then MWMC would be
potentially eligible up to 75% reimbursement for cost associated with the ice storm. Mr.
Stouder will forward the wastewater specific claim to the Commission.
ADJOURNMENT
Vice-President Inge adjourned the meeting at 9:36 a.m.

DATE: February 3, 2017
TO: Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC)
FROM: Meg Allocco, MWMC Accountant
SUBJECT: FY 2016-17 Supplemental Budget #3
ACTION
REQUESTED: Approve Resolution 17-03
_____________________________________________________________________ ISSUE
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of Resolution 17-03 authorizing
proposed supplemental budget requests for FY 2016-17. These adjustments will go
through the City of Springfield Finance department supplemental budget processes along with supplemental budget #3 for the City.
DISCUSSION
The medium voltage conductors, along with other components of the electrical distribution system at the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF), are in need of replacement and/or upgrade. Staff is evaluating the scope of the project and costs of
replacement. In doing so, staff has identified a need for additional planning prior to
design in order to integrate the following considerations into the project:
Future connected loads associated with planned CIP projects, and
Needed emergency electrical outage mitigation optimization measures
Accordingly, on October 14, 2016 the Commission approved Resolution 16-13 for a new direct-appoint contract with CH2M, to provide the needed planning services. Resolution 16-13 anticipated that a portion of the consultant contract funding would be transferred
from the remaining FY 2016-17 Facilities Plan Engineering Services (P80090) budget to
the newly created Electrical Distribution System Replacement and Upgrades project
(P80092). The remaining portion would come in as new money requested under a supplemental budget process in early 2017.
Originally, staff assumed a request of $77,000 in new money and $22,000 transferred
from P80090 to P80092. However, the estimate of required new money was revised
downward considering that there was more money available to transfer from P80090 than originally anticipated. In addition to the funding required for the consultant planning
Memo: FY 2016-17 Supplemental Budget #3
February 3, 2017 Page 2 of 2
assistance, the total amount of funding needed was adjusted slightly upward to cover
administrative costs such as staff time. Staff is now requesting $53,000 of new money,
and $72,000 to be transferred from P80090 to P80092 in Supplemental Budget # 3.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve, by motion, Resolution 17-03 authorizing the budget actions requested in this
memorandum.

SUBJECT: Construction Contract Award for Increase Digestion Capacity-
Project P80084
ACTION REQUESTED: Approve Resolution 17-02
_____________________________________________________________________
ISSUE
Staff requests that the Commission, by motion, approve Resolution 17-02 (attached) awarding the Increase Digestion Capacity, Project P80084 contract to Slayden
Constructors, Inc., the low bidder, and authorizing the Executive Officer to enter into a
contract for the Total Base Bid and Alternate #1 with Slayden Constructors, Inc. in the
amount of $10,594,018.
BACKGROUND
As planned for in the MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan, staff and consultants have
determined that the MWMC needs to increase capacity of the digestion process. The MWMC has three existing anaerobic digesters each with a capacity of one-million gallons, and the Increase Digestion Capacity Project P80084 will add a fourth digester
for additional capacity. The project will also be changing the process/system related to
cleaning the digesters by way of pumping material to the MWMC offsite biosolids
lagoons. On January 24, 2017 a total of seven sealed bids were received by staff and were
opened and publicly read aloud. The construction bid results are identified as follows:
Memo: Construction Contract Award for Increase Digestion Capacity- Project P80084
February 3, 2017 Page 2 of 3
* Stellar J Corporation’s bid is under review due to inconsistency in the bid form.
The apparent low bid submitted by Slayden Constructors, Inc. was reviewed by staff, the design consultant (Brown and Caldwell), and legal counsel (Thorp, Purdy, Jewett, Urness & Wilkinson, P.C.) and found to be in substantial compliance with the bidding
requirements. Slayden Constructors, Inc. bid of $10,594,018 (with Alternate #1 for
digester tank wall insulation/brick system) is below the design consultant engineer’s
estimate of $11.87 million. The fourth digester scope of work and pricing includes additional improvements to the
MWMC cogeneration system such as new electrical switch gear, low pressure blower
and the waste heat radiators. These cogeneration related items will be funded by the
MWMC major capital outlay budgeted at $972,000. The P80084 project approved budget is $16,653,170 for administration, design, permits, construction, etc. plus the cogeneration major capital outlay which totals $17,625,170. The cost of the project
appears to be in line with the MWMC October 2016 project update.
DISCUSSION
The following two options are for consideration by the Commission and includes a staff
Recommendation (Option 1).
Option 1: Staff recommends approving the attached Resolution 17-02, which authorizes the
MWMC Executive Officer, or the Executive Officer’s designee, to enter into a
construction contract for the Increase Digestion Capacity, Project P80084 with the
lowest responsive bidder, Slayden Constructors, Inc. in the contract amount of
$10,594,018. This contract amount, if awarded, includes $227,000 for Alternate #1.
Alternate # 1 provides tank wall insulation/brick system for the new digester #4. The
insulation helps reduce digester heat loss and the brick veneer matches the look of the
existing three digesters in that area.
Option 2:
Staff would also like to present to the Commission a second option for their
consideration. This option would be to reject Alternate #1 and award the contract to
Slayden Constructors Inc. for the amount of $10,367,018.

Dear Barry:
We have reviewed copies of the three (3) lowest Bids submitted to the MWMC and delivered to us for the Increase Digestion Capacity Project - P80084. Slayden Constructors, Inc. (Slayden), Stellar J Corporation (Stellar J), and R&G Excavating, Inc. (R&G) were the three lowest bidders.
Of the three (3) Bids, the apparent low bidder is Slayden at $10,594,018 which is below the engineer’s estimate of $11,870,000. Slayden’s Bid appears to be in substantial compliance with the bidding requirements, including timely
submission of the First-Tier Subcontractors List. Upon receipt of a favorable recommendation from the design consultant regarding technical compliance with the Contract
Documents, and upon confirmation by MWMC that Slayden meets the responsibility requirements set forth in ORS 279C.375(3), it is our recommendation that the Commission may properly make a final award of this Contract to Slayden
Constructors, Inc. provided no protests are filed within the applicable time period.
The award of this Contract shall be final upon the following two conditions being satisfied. First, no protests are filed during the seven (7) calendar day protest period established by ORS 279C.375(2). Second, at its Feb. 10, 2017 meeting,
the Commission votes to award the contract to Slayden. The first day of the protest period begins on Feb. 1, 2017, which is the day after the Conditional Notice of Intent to Award was provided and the last day of the protest period is Feb. 7,
2017. If a protest is timely filed then award of the Contract will be delayed until the protest is resolved.
Finally, this letter will serve as your reminder the MWMC must submit the Responsibility Determination Form required
by ORS 279C.375(3) to the CCB within 30 calendar days after the final award of Contract. Thank you.
Sincerely,
THORP, PURDY, JEWETT, URNESS & WILKINSON, P.C.

1. Draft FY 2017-18 Regional Wastewater Program Capital Budget
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program
REGIONAL WASTEWATER PROGRAM
CAPITAL PROGRAMS Overview
The Regional Wastewater Program (RWP) includes two components: the Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and the Asset Management Capital Program (AMCP). The FY 17-18 CIP Budget,
the FY 17-18 AMCP Budget, and the associated 5-Year Capital Plan are based on the 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan (2004 FP) and the 2014 Partial Facilities Plan Update. The 2004 FP was
approved by the MWMC, the governing bodies of the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield,
Lane County, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in 2004. The 2004
FP and its 20-year capital project list was the result of a comprehensive evaluation of the
regional wastewater treatment facilities serving the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area.
The 2004 FP built on previous targeted studies, including the 1997 Master Plan, 1997 Biosolids
Management Plan, 2001 Wet Weather Flow Management Plan (WWFMP), and the 2003
Management Plan for a dedicated biosolids land application site. The 2004 FP was intended to
meet changing regulatory and wet weather flow requirements and to serve the community’s wastewater capacity and treatment needs through 2025. Accordingly, the 2004 FP established the
CIP project list to provide necessary facility enhancements and expansions over the planning
period. The CIP is administered by the City of Springfield for the MWMC. The AMCP
implements the projects and activities necessary to maintain functionality, lifespan, and
effectiveness of the MWMC facility assets on an ongoing basis. The AMCP is administered by the City of Eugene for the MWMC and consists of three sub-categories:
Equipment Replacement Program
Major Rehabilitation Program Major Capital Outlay The MWMC has established these capital programs to achieve the following RWP objectives:
Compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations Protection of the health and safety of people and property from exposure to hazardous conditions such as untreated or inadequately treated wastewater Provision of adequate capacity to facilitate community growth in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area consistent with adopted land use plans Construction, operation, and management of the MWMC facilities in a manner that is as
cost-effective, efficient, and affordable to the community as possible in the short and long
term Implementation of the Citizens Advisory Committee recommendations, which represent
diverse community interests, values and involvement, and that have been adopted by the
Commission as the MWMC’s plans and policies Mitigation of potential negative impacts of the MWMC facilities on adjacent uses and
surrounding neighborhoods (ensuring that the MWMC facilities are “good neighbors” as
judged by the community)
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program
Capital Program Funding and Financial Planning Methods and Policies
This annual budget document presents the FY 17-18 CIP Budget, the FY 17-18 AMCP Budget, and 5-Year Capital Plan which includes the CIP and AMCP Capital Plan. The MWMC CIP
financial planning and funding methods are in accordance with the financial management
policies put forth in the MWMC 2005 Financial Management Plan.
Each of the two RWP capital programs relies on funding mechanisms to achieve RWP objectives described above. The CIP is funded primarily through proceeds from revenue bond sales, system
development charges, and transfers from the Operating Fund to Capital Reserves. The AMCP is
funded through wastewater user fees.
In addition to revenue bond sales, financing for qualified CIP projects was also secured through the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Clean Water State Revolving
Fund (CWSRF) loan program. From 2008-2010, the MWMC secured several CWSRF loan
agreements totalling $20.8 million. These 20-year loans provide the MWMC below-market
interest rates, along with additional financial benefits, including:
$450,000 in “Sponsorship” funding allocated for riparian shade tree planting projects to
help address the MWMC’s pending thermal load obligations. The financing of these watershed-based projects is made available through the CWSRF program Sponsorship
Option, which provides funding to the borrower to address nonpoint source water quality
solutions through a reduced interest rate. The interest rate reduction allows the MWMC to
invest in watershed improvements using money that would have otherwise been paid as
interest on the loan.
$4 million funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA, or “Stimulus”). The ARRA funding provided 50% of the loan in principal forgiveness (not
requiring repayment), and the remaining 50% of principal payment bearing 0% interest.
This resulted in $2 million of net revenue to the CIP in addition to interest savings.
The RWP’s operating fund is maintained to pay for operations, administration, debt service, equipment replacement contributions and capital contributions associated with the RWP. The
operating fund derives the majority of its revenue from regional wastewater user fees that are
collected by the City of Eugene and City of Springfield from their respective customers. In
accordance with the MWMC 2005 Financial Plan, funds remaining in excess of budgeted operational expenditures can be transferred from the Operating Fund to the Capital Reserve fund. The Capital Reserve accumulates revenue to help fund capital projects, including major
rehabilitation, to reduce the amount of borrowing necessary to finance capital projects.
The AMCP consists of three programs managed by the City of Eugene and funded through regional wastewater user fees: The Equipment Replacement Program, which funds replacement
of equipment valued at or over $10,000 but less than $200,000; The Major Rehabilitation
Program, which funds rehabilitation of the MWMC infrastructure such as roof replacements,
structure coatings, etc.; and the Major Capital Outlay Program for capital items (new or
replacement) with costs greater than $200,000. The MWMC assets are tracked throughout their
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program
lifecycle using asset management tracking software. Based on this information, the three AMCP
program annual budgets are established and projected for the 5-Year Capital Plan.
For planning purposes, the MWMC must consider market changes that drive capital project
expenditures. Specifically, the MWMC capital plan reflects projected price changes over time
that affect the cost of materials and services. Until about 2003, the 20-city average Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI) served as a good predictor for future inflation and was used for projecting the MWMC’s construction costs. Accordingly, construction cost
projections considered in the 2004 FP were based on January 2004, 20-city average ENRCCI.
However, in the period 2004 through 2008, construction inflation accelerated nationally with
local construction cost inflation accelerating even faster than the national average. City of
Springfield staff identified this trend in 2005 and subsequently modified their inflationary projection methodology accordingly.
In early 2006, the MWMC hired the consulting firm CH2M to perform a comprehensive update
of project cost estimates. Following the 2006 update, the RWP’s CIP assumed a general price increase of 5% per-year over the planning period. However, the MWMC continues to monitor inflationary trends to inform our forecasting of capital improvement costs. Accordingly, based on
historical inflationary rates from 2006 through 2016, capital project budgets now reflect a 4%
annual inflationary factor in the FY 17-18 Budget and 5-year Capital Plan.
Regional Wastewater Capital Program Status and Budget
CIP Project Status and Budget
The FY 17-18 CIP Budget is comprised of the individual budgets for each of the active
(carryover) or starting (new) projects in the first year of the 5-Year Capital Plan. The total of
these FY 17-18 project budgets is $33,641,000. Each capital project represented in the FY 17-18
Budget is described in detail in a CIP project sheet that can be found at the end of this document.
Each project sheet provides a description of the project, the project’s purpose and driver (the reason for the project), the funding schedule for the project, and the project’s expected final cost
and cash flow. For those projects that are in progress, a short status report is included on the
project sheet.
Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program
Completed Capital Projects
In FY 16-17, the following capital projects are projected to be completed and closed out. No CIP
project sheets are included for these projects because there is no expected carryover of project funds to FY 17-18. Repair/Replacement of Biosolids Force Main
Sodium Hypochlorite Conversion
Capacity Management Operations and Maintenance (CMOM)
Carryover Capital Projects
All or a portion of remaining funding for active capital projects in FY 16-17 is carried forward to

Asset Management Capital Budget Summary
The following table summarizes the FY 17-18 Asset Management Capital Program Budget by
project type.
5-Year Capital Plan (Exhibit 13)
For each fiscal planning cycle, only the first year of budget authority is appropriated. The
remaining four years of the CIP and AMCP Capital Plans are important and useful for fiscal and work planning purposes. However, it is important to note that the funds in the outer years of the Capital Plan are only planned and not appropriated. Also, the full amount of obligated multi-year
project costs is often appropriated in the first year of the project, unless a smaller subset of the
project, such as project design, can be identified and funded without budgeting the full estimated
project cost. For these multi-year contracts, unspent funds from the first fiscal year will typically be carried over to the next fiscal year until the project is completed. Accordingly, the RWP Capital Plan presented herein is a subsequent extension of the plan presented in the adopted FY
16-17 Budget that has been carried forward by one year. However, changes to the plan typically
occur from year to year as more information becomes available. In addition to these yearly
adjustments, RWP staff were further informed by a Partial Facilites Plan Update that was completed in June of 2014. Those changes were reflected in the MWMC FY 16-17 budget and continue forward in the FY 17-18 for the 5-Year Capital Plan.

INCREASE DIGESTION CAPACITY
Description: Installation of a fourth digester for expanded production of Class B biosolids. This
project also included supporting the plant-wide landscaping construction work that was completed in December of 2012.
Status: As of January 9, 2017, the project to Increase Digestion Capacity is in the bidding phase
for a fourth digester and construction should start in spring of 2017. The MWMC has three existing digesters.
Justification: Continue to meet the requirements for Class B digestion with the ability to take one
digester out of service for cleaning and/or repairs.
Project Driver: Addresses the need for anaerobic digestion capacity. The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan considers an option to upgrade the existing digestion process to meet Class A biosolids
standards as a strategy to secure a wider range of beneficial end-use options and increase program flexibility. Since that time, the MWMC has effectively expanded beneficial
application of Class B biosolids with expansion of the Biocycle Poplar Farm, and through working with private sector end-users.
Project Trigger: Estimates indicate that expanded digestion facilities will be needed by 2018.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
Operations Building Maintenance Building Aerial Maintenance Building ISC Modular Building
Description: This project will update and expand the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) support facilities at the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). The support facilities to be updated and expanded include the Maintenance Building and Administrative/Operations Building. In addition, a new water quality laboratory building will be constructed where the temporary ISC building is currently located after it is removed. Status: As of January 9, 2017: The architectural consultant is finalizing the design package which includes modifications and additions to the Maintenance and
Administration/Operations Buildings and the design of a new water quality laboratory building. The project is anticipated to have the construction bidding phase in
February/March of 2017. Justification: The original design and construction of the O&M Buildings at the WPCF was completed
in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Since that time, use of the O&M Buildings have changed substantially due to modifications in the workforce, advancing technology,
regulatory changes, and an increase in staff to support the MWMC mission of cleaning water. Lastly, the ISC modular building was installed as a temporary structure in 1996
and has since reached the end of its useful life. Project Driver: The need to update and/or replace the existing O&M support facilities is driven by the need to provide a safe and efficient work environment for WPCF staff. Many of the
planned changes stem from a changing wastewater/environmental business as a result of changing regulations since the WPCF was original constructed in the early 1980’s.
Project Trigger: Expansion and changes needed for functionality and safety. Estimated Project Cost: $14,900,000

DECOMMISSION WPCF LAGOON
Description: This project decommissions the existing biosolids lagoon at the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF).
Status: As of January 9, 2017: The project is in the design phase. The MWMC hired a
consultant in December of 2014 to create a bid package to decommission the lagoon. Lagoon decommissioning site work is anticipated in 2019, and the schedule is subject to
change based on progress of the construction of the forth digester improvements.
Justification: The lagoon was constructed in 1979 as a temporary biosolids storage facility while the Biosolids Management Facility was under construction. Since that time it has also served
as a temporary storage lagoon to support digester cleaning operations. However, the lagoon no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally constructed and does not
meet current design standards for wastewater lagoons.
Project Driver: The lagoon can no longer provide the biosolids capacity for which it was intended nor cost effectively continue to support digester cleaning operations. The lagoon is almost
full of accumulated rainwater and residual solids. Therefore, the decision was made to decommission the lagoon and change the process of cleaning the digesters.
Project Trigger: The WPCF lagoon no longer functions as originally designed.

TERTIARY FILTRATION - PHASE 2
Description: The phased work program will install infrastructure/support facilities for 30 mgd of filters for tertiary filtration of secondary treated effluent. Phase 2 is planned to install filter
system technology sufficient for another 10 mgd of treatment that will increase the total filtration capacity to 20 mgd. The Phase 3 project will install the remaining filtration
technology to meet the capacity needs identified in the 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan.
In January 2016, the project scope and cost (estimate $530K in 2015) increased to include updating electrical switchgear, and install tertiary filter flushing headers/pipe
vents.
Status: Tertiary Filtration (Phase 2) project is anticipated to start design development in fiscal year 21-22.
Justification: The 2004 MWMC Facilities Plan proposes phasing filters on a phased work program.
Filtration provides high quality secondary effluent to help meet permit requirements and potential Class A recycled water.
Project Driver: Performance reliability to meet the dry weather NPDES total suspended solids limits of
less than 10 mg/L, reuse development, and compliance with effluent limits during peak flow conditions.
