within the Water Resources Department Ag Water section of the budget. For Board
information, no action required.
6. An update on the Kern River operations was given by Hydrographic Supervisor Steve
Lafond. Additional storm systems in the Kern basin during the month of April substantially
increased the forecast ofsnowmelt yield on the Kern River for 2001. The forecast is for 55%
of normal for the season. Lake Isabella storage levels are expected to reach over the 220,000
acre-foot level by the second week of June, 2001. City does not expect any shortages in the
annual deliveries to the four basic contractors. The City in conjunction with the Kern County
Water Agency is working toward a five to seven day flow period with July 4th for a weekend
to weekend this year. For Board information, no action required.
Item 8A under New Business moved up per request and consent of Water Board members.
SA. The Water Service Agreement with Kern Recreation Camp was presented before the Board

feet per year due to evaporation loss from the restoration and management of wetlands on

carried.
New Business.
BB. Mr. Core presented to the Board the water exchange and sale agreement with California
Water Service Company for supply to its Kernville system. The groundwater is inadequate

:i
~ step increase for fiscal year 2001-02 with one in October, 2001 and the second adjustment
in April, 2002. Motion to approve Domestic Water rate adjustment and recommend adoption
of a resolution by City Council made by Boardmember Couch. Motion carried.

ADDENDUM TO DEMAND. RELIEF PROGRAM
AGREEMENT
This Addendum when signed and returned with a ¢ompleted and signed DRP Agreement becomes
the complete Agreement. This Addendum does not negate any of the requirements oontainod
within the DRP Agreement. it's intent iS to offer clients an opportunity to receive additional
compensation through curtailed energy payments and performance in addition*to the DRP
Agreement parametem.
1. The capacity payment for the contract period (June 1 through September 30,2001) will be
$15,000.00 per MW, for reserved demand (m~ervation), per month for participating in the ASC DRP
Summer 2001 program.
2. In addition tO the reserved demand (reservation) payment as stated in section 5.1 of the DRP
agreement, clients will be paid a curtailed energy payment for periods when dispatch notices are
issued. The compensation is $375.00 per MWh.
3. Clients witl also receive ~ompensation for energy in excess of the reserved demand (resen~ation)
amount identlf~d in the ASC agreement. Clients can provide energy up to a maximum of an
additional 50% of the resented demand amount identified in the ASC agreement. Client shall not
receive additional paymentS for energy reduotions in excess of the 150% of the reserved demand
identified in the ASC agreement. I, e, A client with 1MW of reserved demand could reduce up to
1.5MW and receive energy compensation at $375.00 per MWh for the additional 500kWh of reduced
usage over there reserved demand commitment of 1MW. This additional compensation over the
reserved demand Is for energy only; capacity payments arc based solely on the reserve demand
identified in the ASC agreement. Clients shall not receive payment for delivery of capacity in excess
of their reserved demand. All conditions identified in the ASC agreement must also be fulfilled to
receive this additionai compensation.
4. Clients will be placed Into one of two separate shedding aggregation groups referred to as DRP
load blocks. Should a participant elect to voluntarily curtail its energy in response to a curtailment
order for another DRP load block, the DRP prOvided in each hour of the voluntary curtailment will be
limited to between 0% and 100% of the reserved demand. Energy reductions in excess of 100% of
the reserved demand (reservation) amount will not receive additional compensation when
participating outside of their assi§ned block for load in excess of 100% of their reserved demand.
Participation in two blocks 'may" require the purchase of an additional pager notification device.
5. The individual executing this ADDENDUM hereby represents that he or she is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Addendum on behalf of the Party for whom he or she executes if: and that
this Addendum is binding upon that party in accordanCe with its terms. The addendum must specify
the change, addition or deletions and must be signed and dated by both parties pdor to becoming
permanent addition to this agreement. All conditions contained within the ASC Agreement must also
be fulfilled for additional compensation to be achieved.

STUDY OF INTERNAL / IN-HOUSE OPERATIONS
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WATER RESOURCES
JUNE 1, 2001
Report update from previous studies
dated 12/30/85, 05/15/88, 03/27/92, and 07/12/95
This Report prepared by: City Of Bakersfield Water Resources Staff
INTRODUCTION: This report is an update to previously prepared staff and consultant reports on estimating
the start-up and annual operating costs to run the City's Domestic Water System using in-house employees and
may be used as a control or target price to compare the current and proposed operations and maintenance
contract.
The 1995 report concluded that it would cost the City $96.97 per year per service connection (customer) to
operate and maintain the system at the level of service customers were accustomed to. This compared to the
California Water Service (CWS) contract cost of $97.33 (which includes City expenses) per customer per year.
The 1995 report estimated cost to set-up shop, including additional building space, equipment, inventory, .
computers and supplies for meter reading and billing, and personnel training would have been approximately
$883,000. If this cost were treated as a capital investment and payout benefits were to be calculated at present
rates of return for 1995 (6%), the additional start-up costs would have represented an annual cost of
approximately $123,000. This cost was be added to the cost proposal for in-house operations. With the start-
up costs included, the annual cost to operate in-house would have been $1,982,662 or $103.19 per customer per
year.
The dollar values and costs discussed in the report are for the field operating and maintaining expenses. They
do not include intrinsic costs such as power for pumping, pump & property taxes, in-lieu taxes, outside
professional services, bond payments, or outside emergency repairs.
The conclusions in this updated report, as to cost and levels of service in the City operating the water system by
setting up shop and hiring its own employees, will be used to compare to the present arrangement with CWS.
CURRENT CONTRACT OPERATIONS: The contract with CWS for operations and maintenance was
revised and changed beginning in 1990. The annual cost per service tbr 1988 and 1989 was determined using
the "shared cost" method by CWS, that is, the total expenses incurred by CWS in operating its own system in
Bakersfield and operating the City system was pro-rated based on the respective number of customers. In
addition, a 2 I/4% management fee was calculated on the gross metered revenue of the City system. The
contract was re-negotiated in 1989, and instituted in January of 1990. The cost to operate the City system was
calculated on a flat, per month/per service connection fee. The contract started at a base of $5.50 per month/per
service and was increased each year as shown in the following list:

The present CWS contract provides that the City pay additional charges for inspection services provided in new
water main construction. This cost is generally recovered through developer fees.
The total City cost to operate and maintain the water system is the contractor costs plus existing City
administrative expenses. The City administrative expenses include labor, vehicles, and general office
expenditures.

Table No. I will be used to set a target value in cost comparisons of different methods of operating the City
system. The $142.10 figure for the 2001 estimated cost shall be the target cost estimate for comparison.
CITY IN-HOUSE OPERATIONS: The goal of the water system is to provide the highest possible level of
service to customers and residents. Keeping that in mind, the formation of a City operated Domestic Water
Division will require an initial investment in personnel training, building structures, equipment & supplies.
This would include office facilities, furnishings, computer equipment, warehousing and shop, vehicles, power
tools, small hand tools and mobile radio communications capability.
The following series of tables reflect a proposal to operate in-house and the costs associated with it. The
following organizational chart shown on the next page is meant to aid in determining labor needs and does not
construe the final line responsibility or management structure.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS: The estimated cost to operate the City of Bakersfield system after 2001,
under the present contract arrangements is $2,628,788. This represents an annual cost per service connection
(customer) of $100.24.
The proposed in-house/internal operation of the system, that would provide the highest possible level of service
as presented in this report, will cost an estimated $2,615,773 for 2001 (see table//6). This is based on estimated
worker, equipment and other operations costs, using 2001 wage and benefit costs and equipment rental rates.
The annual cost per service connection would equate to $99.74.
As shown in worksheets 1-4 and summarized in table 7, the estimated cost to set-up shop, including additional
building space, equipment, inventory, computers and supplies for meter reading and billing, and personnel
training would be approximately $1,120,700. If this cost were treated as a capital investment and payout
benefits were to be calculated at present rates of return (6% for 10 years), the additional start-up costs would
represent an annual cost of approximately $149,000. This cost would be added to the cost proposal for in-
house operations mentioned in the previous paragraph. With the start-up costs included, the annual cost to
operate in-house would be $2,764,773 or $ 105.42 per customer per year.
Based on the above calculations, it is recommended that the City of Bakersfield continue similar contract
arrangements with the current contractor, California Water Service Company.
