IrdL
CONSENT
To ,. Board of Directors
From : Neil Kaufman
Date : September 10 , 2014
Subject : Consideration of an Adjustment of the Change Order Allowance for
the Donner Lake Substation Civil Improvements Construction
Contract
1 . WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board approval is required for change orders to a construction contract .
2 . HISTORY
The District is rebuilding the Donner Lake Substation to increase station capacity , add
another feeder , improve coordination with the adjacen t transmission line , improve
protection of substation equipment , and provide comp l iance with current code
1b
requirements .
On July 16 , 2014 , the Board awarded the construction contract for the Donner Lake
If
Substation Civil Improvements to Longo Incorporated . The bid price from Longo
was $226 986 . At that time , the Board also established a change order allowance of
$230149
3 . NEW NINFORMATION
Longo Incorporated began work at the site on August 8 .. The project is on schedule
with construction of the drainage channel and installation of the vaults and conduits
essentially complete . Work is currently progressing on the retaining walls and
driveway realignment .
Three change order items have been identi fied sa far. These include :
1 ) The soils at the substation site consist of about four feet of natural soil above the
granite bedrock . The site has a significant slope that runs downhill from no rth to
south . There is a noticeable quantity of water that moves underground along the
interface between the natural soils and the bedrock. This flow of water is being
i ntercepted by one of the conduit trenches . In order to address this situation , it was
decided to install s cut-off wall and associated drainage piping .
Y
2) The original bid included the removal of three large trees . There are three
additional trees along the driveway that Electric Department would like to remove .
It i's planned to have the trees topped by Wright Tree Service , which currently has
the Electric Department's tree tri mming contract . Longo will then dig out the
stumps and remove them for disposal .
3) The ori ginal bid included about $20 , 000 of paving .. This is based on a unit price of
$270 per cubic yard . This covered about half of the driveway associated with the
substation site . Originally , the Electric Department had planned to perform the
additional paving work in 2015 . However, the Electric Department recently
determined that it would be preferable to perform all of the paving work at one t i me .
This additional paving will essentially double the amount of work to be performed .
The work of Item 'I has already been performed . The work of Items 2 and 3 has not yet
been performed , but it is expected that total cost of these three items will exceed the
established change order allowance of $23 , 014 .
4 . FISCAL IMPACT
It is also recommended that the change order allowance for the project be increased by
$23 , 000 , its current amount of $23 , 014 to $46 , 014 .
5 . REC OMMENDATI ON
a) Adjust the change order allowance for the Donner Lake Substation Civil
Improvements from $23 , 014 to $4610141P
b) Authorize the transfer of up to $273 , 000 from Electric Department Facilities Fees to the
Electric Department General Fund .

A C T I O N
To : Board of Directors
From : Robert Mescher
Date : September 10 , 2014
Subject : Consideration of Partic ipat ing in the Utah Public Treasurers '
Investment Fund
1 . WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
District Code requires the Treasurer to consult with the Board of Directors when
recommending any new investments . Each investment must be authorized by the
Board of Directors .
2 . HISTORY
The Districted adopted an investment policy in 2006 which allo wed for investments in
instruments permitted by the California Government Code and the investments
permitted by the trust agreements on District financing , including investments in
Californ ia ' s pooled Local Government Investment Fund ( LAIF :. This pooled found has
h "storically pro vided acceptable yield on investment , while maintaining an acceptable
level of investment safety and liquidity . LAIF is a conservative and stable fund . The
return on investment is slow to change . This benefits the .District when other
investment yield rates suddenly fall as they did in 2008 . However , this has penalized
the District as other investment yield rates recover as they have in the past year.
Below is LAIF 's historical yield from 2006 to 2014 :
2006 4K7 %

Pool ( PCTIP) which has yielded 1 . 3 % in the past year . The District is able to
participate in the PCTIP because its service areas include a portion of Placer County .

is eligible to participate in the Utah Public Treasurers ' Investment Fund ( UPTIF) by
transferring funds to DAMPS to invest in the PTIF for the benefit of the District.

The UPTIF invests primarily in i nvestment-grade corporate notes , top tier commercial
paper , money market mutual funds and U . S . government agency obligations . The
UPTIF invests only in securities authorized by the Utah Money Management Act which
is consistent with District Cade and California Government Code ,
Although the UPTIF' s primary investment objective is safety of principal , it is not FDIC00
and may lose value .

funds and funds could be deposited and withdrawn once per month .

For every million dollars invested in Utah ' s UPTIF instead of California' s LAIF , the
District would yield $ 3 , 000 more per year without risking safety of investment or losing
the liquidity of cash .
5 . RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the District Treasurer to transfer up to $ 10 , 000 , 000 to Utah Associated
Municipal Power Systems for the purpose of investing the funds into Utah ' s Public
Treasurers ' Investment Fund for the benefit of the District .
