SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF $10,000.00 AMENDMENT TO BLANKET PURCHASE ORDER
FOR HUNTER ELECTRIC
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve an amendment in the amount
of $10,000.00 to Blanket Purchase Order #210257 issued to Hunter Electric for the Fiscal
Year ending June 30, 2002. Total amended Purchase Order will be $35,000.00.
BACKGROUND
Hunter Electric has been selected both by quoted rates as well as performance to serve as the
Water Division's provider of electrical installations and repairs at it's various pump and

Division's operating budget for 2001-2001.

FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CONSULTING SERVICES —YARD OFFICE BUILDING
iii
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve an amendment to the existing
architectural consulting services agreement with Henry Woo Architects, Inc. in an amount of
$17,200.
BACKGROUND
This amended service agreement is to provide the preliminary phase of the proposed Electric
Division offices at I O h and Vernon Street. This phase of work will include space programming
for offices, meter testing facility, and large truck garage with some storage spaces; prepare
preliminary plans, exterior building elevations, and conceptual landscaping for presentation to
Planning Commission and neighboring home owners; and to provide coordination among
different affected agencies.
FISCAL IMPACT
This cost will be charged against the budgeted funds for the building. However, it is very
likely that if this site is approved for the proposed building, the overall design and
construction costs will be less than what was budgeted because this site will have less costs in
site preparation, less design work and less construction costs for one story building; and more
likely to get better construction bid due to it being a clean site.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the proposed lease agreement

authorize the City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Consumer Affairs, State of California, leased a portion of the second floor

terms and conditions remain the same as the prior lease agreement, except the rent and two
minor changes in Sections 17 and 20.'
Rent for the first two years will increase from the current $1.38/sq-ft to $1.55/sq-ft, then
increase to $1.60/sq-ft for the next two years, and increase to $1.65/sq-ft for the last or 5th
year of the term.
Section 17 deals with the State's right to sublease. If the lessor (the City) does not give the
State the consent to lease, then the State has the right to terminate the lease by giving the
City a 30 -day written notice.
Section 20 indemnifies the City's risk and liability for State employees to enter the rental
premises in the event a disaster renders the building deemed unsafe to enter.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 22, 2002 v+
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR UTILITY BILL PRINT AND MAIL
SERVICES TO INFOSEND
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council award a two-year contract to
InfoSend for bill print and mail services, effective July 1, 2002.
BACKGROUND
We are continually looking for ways to provide cost effective and efficient services to our Light
& Water customers. Recently we reviewed our utility bill print and mail process, a 2001-02
work plan project, for cost effectiveness and to improve information offered on the bill. We
assessed our competitiveness by comparing our internal cost and capabilities with vendors
through a competitive bidding process (Request For Proposal process) and found we can
increase our capabilities and reduce cost by almost $65,500 over a two-year period by
contracting out this service.
Azusa Light & Water mails approximately 30,000 utility bills, reminders, and final notices each
month. A Light & Water Information Services employee operates the folder, inserter, and
postage machines to prepare these mailings each day. Her backup is a Customer Service
Representative. While the current process is working, it could be enhanced and resolve the
following issues:
Our folder and inserter are outdated and frequently break down or jam. Our
equipment is over 15 years old; replacement will cost over $100,000.
2. We are using custom envelopes to accommodate our mailing machine. Lower
cost generic envelopes could be used with mailing house equipment.
• i
3. We are not meeting the U. S. Post Office NCOA (National Change of Address)
requirements. This is a commonly provided service of a mail house.
4. We would like to improve the look and information offered on our bill. With our
equipment we have limited functionality. We would like special fonts, graphs,
and a larger message area. We need to go to an 8-1/2" x 14" bill and specialty
printers to accomplish these desires, both unavailable in-house.
5. We are currently limited to two bill inserts due to our inserter limitations. There
are times when we would like to add more inserts: Vendors can provide this
service for a small fee.
6. We would like the capability of producing multiple page bills. Currently we hand
stuff our multi -page bills.
7. We would like to provide a copy of each customer's bill online and link to the
Internet for customer and Light & Water. We would also like the image of each
bill archival and retrievable on the Internet.
8. We are drastically short of storage space. The first-aid room is full of office
supplies and miscellaneous office equipment, blocking easy reach to first-aid
supplies. Customer records, brochures, and office supplies are stored wherever
there is a free corner. By removing the mailing folder and inserter, shelving could
be installed to make the mail room a compact storage area. �*
We developed a Request For Proposals and sent it to sixteen vendors, asking them to
respond about their bill print and mail services and also their capability for providing Internet
services and the cost. Five vendors responded and were compared. The outcome was that
three of the responding vendors_ can provide bill print and mail services at a lower cost than
we can internally. The cost for Internet service, however, was quite high. Light & Water's
manager of Information Services advised we not move into Internet services yet due to the
high cost and expected low consumer acceptance at this time.
Site visits were made to two of the lowest cost Request For Proposals respondents. Our
Information Services manager previously did a site visit with the third respondent we are
considering. We agreed that the lowest cost vendor, InfoSend, has the capability to meet
our bill print and mail needs.
If we contract for bill print and mail services the employee currently preparing bills for mailing
would be available to address more system support issues. We recommend keeping our
mailing equipment for six months. Once our contract arrangement is well-established we
recommend selling our folder and inserter and turning the room into a storage room. We
would retain the postage meter and small folder for any miscellaneous mailing needs. The
Information Services employee would still have some mail duties with theses remaining mail
needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Light &Water would realize approximately a $65,500 savings over the life of the contract.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
J•
DATE: APRIL 22, 2002
SUBJECT: AZUSA SUBSTATION CONCEPTUAL PLAN FOR LANDSCAPE AND FRONT WALL
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN ALONG 1 160 WEST GLADSTONE STREET.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council adopt the conceptual plan including front
wall design of proposed Substation Project along 1160 Gladstone Street and direct staff to
submit said plan & design to City's Planning Commission for their approval.
BACKGROUND
In November 2001, the City's Planning Commission approved the proposed substation project
contingent on applicant (Azusa Light & Water) submitting within 90 days a conceptual plan for
front landscape and wall design. Subsequently, staff retained services of an Architect to prepare
conceptual plan &designs. In view of the time needed to perform design tasks, staff requested
an extension of time to comply with Planning Commission's requirement. During the February
2002 Utility Board meeting, staff solicited preliminary comments from Board Members and said
comments were duly forwarded to Architect to use as a basis in performing design. Moreover,
Azusa Light & Water directed Architect to create a design within reasonable expense in
conformance with established guiding principles and standards of work product.
FISCAL IMPACT
A construction estimate for the wall will be provided verbally to the Board at the meeting. This
project is budgeted this fiscal year under Project #230 - Electric Substation, and funds are
available under account 33-80-000-730-7101/82000A.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES/1�/
DATE: APRIL 22, 2002
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH MIKE LORUSSO FOR PROJECT
MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT RETROFITS OF CITY
BUILDINGS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve of attached agreement to retain
Mike Lorusso as a contract employee for purposes of managing a project to retrofit various
City buildings with energy efficient equipment and fixtures.
BACKGROUND
In October 2001, a report was provided to the Utility Board outlining energy efficient
upgrades for various city facilities that resulted from an energy audit conducted by Planergy
International. While it was our original intent to have Planergy manage the retrofit work, there
has been ongoing delay in getting information from Planergy to expedite this project. To
move forward, we recommend that Mike Lorusso, a temporary employee who was hired to
manage various projects after the retirement of Louie Pedroza, be engaged to manage
identified retrofits, Including development and issuance of bid packages, management of
contractors, and coordination of work with Engineering and Facilities Maintenance staff. Mr.
Lorusso's current work load includes Auditorium improvements, and development of a
maintenance plan for the Aquatic Center. These activities will continue under the attached
agreement and result in his time and cost being split between Public Works and Light ✓L
Water.
FISCAL IMPACT
Compensation in the agreement is based on the top step for the position of Superintendent
of Public Works, $6118 per month, or $35.30 per hour, and the contract term is for 5
months. PERS payment to be made by City will be 14% of base salary. It is estimated that
this Is about $50,000 less than paying a consultant to perform similar functions. The overall
project cost for the energy efficient upgrades, Including Mr. Lorusso's costs, is expected to be
4
less than $300,000 and the public benefit program fund, account number 24-40-739-089,
will be used to compensate Mr. Lorusso for Light & Water's share.

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 22, 2001
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF BID PACKAGE FOR CITY-WIDE HVAC REPLACEMENTS PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the attached specifications to
replace heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and authorize the City Clerk
to advertise for bids.
BACKGROUND
Last year, Light & Water conducted an energy audit of City Facilities and identified various
potential upgrades in equipment and fixtures to improve energy efficiency. These upgrades were
presented to the Utility Board on October 1, 2001, in a report which broke down the projects
into Tiers (Exhibit A). Tier 2 projects included a list of twenty-five HVAC retrofits at the Senior
Center, City Hall Complex, and City Yard, and because the cost of the Tier 2 projects will be over
$75,000, these projects require the City to follow the formal bidding procedure. The attached
notice inviting bids, bid schedule and specifications (Exhibit B) have been prepared by Mike
Lorusso and City Engineer, Nasser Abbaszadeh.
This project will replace older HVAC units with new, more energy efficient units, which will reduce
both energy consumption and the cost to maintain the equipment. The anticipated payback
period for this project is 9.2 years. This project will be paid for using public benefit funds, and
will accomplish capital upgrades without expending general fund revenues. Per bid package, the
bid opening will be on May 21, 2002, in time for award at the next regular Utility Board meeting.
It is anticipated that the retrofits will take about 2 months to complete.
FISCAL IMPACT
Project will be funded out of existing public benefits program budget. Estimated cost for this
portion of project is $180,000.

drive efficiency shall be 98% or better at full speed and full load. Fundamental power
factor shall be 0.98 at all speeds and loads. '
9. All printed circuit boards shall be completely tested and burned -in before being
assembled into the completed VFD. The VFD shall then be subjected to a preliminary
functional test, two-hour bum -in, and computerized final test. The bum -in shall be at 104
degrees F (40 degrees C), at full rated load, or cycled load. Drive input power shall be
continuously cycled for maximum stress and thermal variation.
10. VFD's shall be UL listed. The VFD' s shall be designed to meet the requirements of the
following standards: IEC 801-2, IEC 801-4, IEC 2554.
11. Input: 380/415/440/460/480 VAC 3 +/- 10%, 3 phase, 48 - 63 Hz for nominal 460 or
480V systems. Input: 200/220/230/240 VAC +/- 10%, 3 phase, 48 - 63 Hz for nominal
208 or 230V systems.
12. Output frequency 0 to 250 Hz. Operation above 60 Hz shall require programming
changes to prevent inadvertent high-speed operation.
13. Environmental operating conditions: 0 to 40 degrees C, 0 to 3300 feet above sea level,
less than 95% humidity, non -condensing.
14. Construction details: All Drives shall have the following standard features:
For parts interchangeability purposes, all VFD' s shall have the same customer
interface and control logic board, including digital display, keypad and
control connections; regardless of horsepower rating. VFD's from 2 HP
to 400 HP shall have the same design. The keypad is to be used for local
control (start/stop, forward/reverse, and speed adjust), for setting all
parameters, and for stepping through the displays and menus.
b. The VFD shall give the user the option of either (1) displaying a fault, or (2)
running at a programmable preset speed if the input reference (4-20mA
or 2-1 OV) is lost; as selected by the user.
The VFD's shall utilize bilingual digital display field selectable for English or
Spanish (code numbers are not acceptable). The digital display shall be
a 30 -character (1 line x 20 characters/line, 1 line x 10 characters/line)
LCD display. The screen shall be backlit to provide easy viewing in any
light condition. The contrast should be adjustable to optimize viewing at
any angle.
e. The VFD shall have the ability to automatically restart after an over current, over
voltage, under voltage, or loss of input signal protective trip. The
number of restart attempts and trial time shall be programmable.
f The VFD shall be capable of starting into a rotating load (forward or reverse)
and accelerate or decelerate to set point without safety tripping or
component damage (flying start) coast to stop before restart shall not be
required.
g. Handoff Auto switch and potentiometer shall be included. When in "Hand", the
VFD will be started, and the speed will be controlled from the speed
potentiometer. When in "Off", the VFD will be stopped. When in
"Auto", the VFD will start via an external contact closure, and its speed
will be controlled via an external speed reference.
h. The drive shall employ three current limit circuits to provide trip free operation:
The Rapid Current Regulation limit shall be adjustable from 501/6 to
170% of the VFD's variable torque current rating. If the motor
current exceeds the current limit setting, the drive shall stop,
and decrease the output frequency until the motor current is
reduced below the current limit level, at which time the output
frequency shall accelerate (at the rate set by the acceleration
time) to the set frequency. The rapid current regulation shall
allow up to 200% current to be drawn for a short period of time
before the current is reduced to the slow current regulation
limit.
2. The Slow Current Regulation limit circuit shall be adjustable from 50%
to 125% of the VFD's dariable torque current rating. This
current regulation operates similarly to the rapid current
regulation, except at a slower rate. This adjustment shall be
made via the keypad, and shall be displayed in actual amps, and
not as percent of full load. When the rapid current regulation
limit is exceeded and the current switcboff limit is reached
(255% peak for up to 75 HP, 315% peak for 75 HP to 400 HP)
the output voltage to the motor is momentarily shut off. Every
two to three milliseconds, the output voltage is switched back
on to take control of the motor. If the current is not below the
150% level, voltage will again be switched off. The function
will operate ten times to control the motor current prior to it
either controlling the motor, or shutting down the drive on an
over -current trip.
The Drive shall have the inherent capability of protecting the motor connected to
it, by stopping the motor when the motor temperature reaches the
warning level of 95% of the nominal value, and displaying "MOTOR
TEMP" fault in plain English. The Drive shall calculate the motor
temperature based on the Motor Load Curve. The Motor Load Curve
shall be defined by zero speed zero load and break point parameters.
100% of the Motor Load Curve shall be based on the Full Load
Amperage inputted in the drive at startup time. The load curve should
be based on 104 degrees F ambient temperature, and cooling time
during rest to be four times the cooling time of when the motor is
running. The Motor Load Curve shall be adjustable. The Motor
Theorem time shall also be adjustable from 20 to 10000 seconds, to
prevent undesirable trips. Motor thermal protection shall be
accomplished without the need for external temperature sensors.
k. Serial Communications with Landis & Staefa System 600, Johnson Metasys,
Modbus, Lonworks or Modbus systems: The VFD shall have an RS -
485 port as standard. To communicate with Landis & Staefa System
600 FLN, Johnson Metasys, Modbus or Lonworks compatible DDC
control systems, the variable frequency drive must, at a minimum, be
able to accomplish functions of run -stop control, speed set adjustment,
proportional/integral gain adjustments, RPM feedback, kilowatt-hour
feedback, drive and motor temperature feedback, and warning/fault
diagnostics across the serial port Serial communication shall be
accomplished through an EE -Prom integral to the VFD. Communication
gateways or hard wiring for each individual point shall not be required.
15. All VFD' s to have the following adjustments:
a. Five (5) programmable critical frequency lockout ranges to prevent the VFD
from continuously operating at an unstable speed.
b. PID Set point controller shall be standard in the drive, allowing a pressure or
flow signal to be connected to the VFD, using the microprocessor in the
VFD for the closed loop control; thus eliminating the need for external
controllers. Drives not utilizing a PID controller shall provide a field
installed controller provided by the drive manufacturer for field
mounting or shall incorporate a floating point controller utilizing a
Dwyer Photohelic factory mounted in the drive panel.
C. Two (2) programmable analog inputs shall accept a current or voltage signal for
speed reference or for reference and actual signals for PID controller.
Analog inputs shall include a filter; programmable from 0.01 to 10
seconds to remove any oscillation in the input signal. The minimum and
maximum values (gain and offset) shall be adjustable within the range
of 0-20 mA and 0-10 volts.
d. The VFD shall be optimized for a 4 kHz carrier frequency to reduce motor noise
and provide high system efficiency. The carrier efficiency shall be
adjustable by the start-up engineer in the ACH401 units.
e. Two independently adjustable accel and decel ramps. These ramp times shall be
adjustable from I to 1800 seconds.
16. The following operating information displays shall be standard on the VFD digital
display. The display shall be in complete English words (alpha -numeric codes are not
acceptable):

d. Over temperature +90o C
e. Ground Fault either running or at start
f. Adaptable Electronic Motor Overload (12t). The Electronic Motor Overload
protection shall protect the motor based on speed, load curve, and
external fan parameter. Circuits which are not speed dependent are
unacceptable. The electronic motor overload protection shall be UL
listed for this function.
18. Speed command shall be via:
a. Keypad
b. Two Analog inputs, each capable of accepting a 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-1 OV, 2-
10V signal. Input shall be isolated from ground and programmable via
the keypad for different uses.
19. Accessories:
Analog inputs shall have a programmable filter to remove any
oscillation of the reference signal. The filter shall be adjustable
from .01 to 10 seconds. The analog input should be able to be
inverted, so that minimum reference corresponds to maximum
speed, and maximum reference corresponds to minimum speed.
The minimum and maximum values (gain and offset) shall be
adjustable within the range of 0-20 mA and 0-10 Volts. The
active analog input shall have loss of reference protection, if
selected.
