3.01 Agreement with BCH Heritage Oaks Hospital, Inc. for Inpatient Hospitalization Services - BHC
Heritage Oaks Hospital, Inc. operates a licensed 125 -bed acute psychiatric hospital in
Sacramento. This psychiatric health facility provides psychiatric treatment, rapid stabilization,
and coordinated discharge planning that encourages wellness and recovery with support from
community based services. This psychiatric health facility provides diagnostic assessment of
mental health status, stabilization and maintenance of the mental health condition,
improvement of patient's functioning ability and transitional planning with referrals to an
appropriate post -hospitalization setting for clients referred by the Department of Behavioral
Health. This agreement is not specifically measured in terms of number of clients served, as the
length of stay varies based on each client's specific needs. The State mandates contracting with
managed care hospitals based on a county's historical utilization. The Department began drafting
the managed care hospital agreements in May but must wait for "host counties" (counties in
which the hospitals operate) to negotiate their rates with the hospitals for the new fiscal year.
Once negotiated, their contract must be fully executed by their respective governing boards. The
State is notified by the host counties of the contracted rates, and all other counties who contract
with the hospitals utilize those rates per the direction of the State. Due to these requirements,
agreements with managed care hospitals are typically approved later in the fiscal year. The
Department anticipates admission of approximately 70 individuals each fiscal year under this
agreement. The Department recommends entering into an agreement with BCH Heritage Oaks
Hospital, Inc. for inpatient hospitalization services. The term of the contract is July 1, 2019
through June 30, 2021, not -to -exceed $700,000—action requested -APPROVE AGREEMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health)

Commercials and Digital Advertising - The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) awarded
the Department of Behavioral Health grant funding through the Strategic Prevention
Frameworks (SPF) Partnerships for Success (PFS) project, which funds opioid prevention
education. The overall goal of the SPF PFS project is to provide a comprehensive evidence -based
approach in opioid prevention and education among persons aged 12 to 25. Through a revenue
agreement between DHCS and the Department, DHCS identified companies the Department
must use to fulfill the tasks under the SPF PFS project. National CineMedia, LLC is one of those
agencies and will provide in -theater commercials and digital device advertising services for the
PFS participant counties and surrounding geographical areas. The goal for the program is to
provide outreach and education to the public on the harmful effects of opioid misuse. The
contract provides for 109,920 advertising spots, as well as advertising on digital devices which
includes smart phones, tablets, laptops, and home computers. The Department recommends
entering into a contract with National CineMedia, LLC for opioid prevention and education in -
theater commercials and digital advertising on behalf of multiple Northern California counties.

help celebrate, the Department of Child Support Services is recommending that the Board of
Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing August 2019 as Child Support Awareness Month in

its 2019 Meeting Calendar. Since adoption, the California State Association of Counties (CSAC)

Calendar, and in order to meet the requirement of reviewing the need to continue the local
emergency declarations every 30 days, staff recommends the Board amend the 2019 Meeting

3.20 Contract with Knife River Construction for the Upper Centerville Road Storm Damage Repair
Project - The Upper Centerville Road Storm Damage Repair Project will provide critical repairs to
the roadway and drainage facilities damaged by the February 2019 Storms. The location of the
project is approximately four miles south of Skyway (Magalia) on Centerville Road. A Public
Assistance Request has been submitted to the Disaster Assistance Program through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The scope of this project is to remove failed embankment and
storm drain facilities and construct new embankment and drainage structures. The engineer's
estimate for construction is $500,000 for the proposed work. This project was advertised
beginning June 28, 2019, and posted on PublicPurchase.com. A total of four bids were received
on July 22, 2019, ranging from a low of $377,777 to a high of $511,174. The lowest responsive

3.21 Resolution and Purchase and Sale Agreement with Gorrill Land Company and R. Gorrill Ranch
Enterprises (Gorrill) for the Midway Road Bridge Replacement Project - The County entered into
an agreement on December 16, 2010 with Caltrans to complete the Midway Road Bridge
Replacement Project across Butte Creek and Butte Creek Overflow. The bridge replacement
project is funded by the Federal Highway Bridge Program. In general, this project will replace two
existing bridges originally constructed in 1915 and 1918 respectively. The proposed project will
construct the new bridge along the current alignment of the existing bridges. The project
agreement requires the County to acquire all rights-of-way and easements necessary to
construct the project. One of Gorrill's existing agricultural wells is located close to the new and
wider bridge location, and the fill slope will encroach into the well location, which necessitates
the abandonment and replacement of the well. The well replacement has a base cost of
$275,086, not -to -exceed $350,000. The agreement allows for potential additional costs incurred
during construction of the new well. The cost of right-of-way purchase for the temporary
construction easement and fee title for these properties is $19,549, which makes the total base
cost of the agreement $294,635, not -to -exceed $369,549. On July 23, 2019, the appropriate
Williamson Act notifications were sent to the Department of Development Services and the State
Department of Conservation. A resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to negotiate
and enter into agreements for the acquisition of real property, temporary construction
easements, and permits to enter and construct improvements for the Midway Road Bridge
Replacement Project across Butte Creek and Butte Creek Overflow was adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on January 9, 2018. Due to the overall cost of the agreement, the Department of
Public Works is bringing forth this agreement for Board consideration — action requested -

3.22 Resection of Bids for the Powellton Road Grading and Drainage Treatment Project -The California
Regional Water Quality Control Board filed a Notice of Violation (NOV) with Butte County
regarding sediment being tracked off Powellton Road and into local waterways in 2016. Since
that time, significant work has been accomplished to mitigate these problems, including
contracting with the Butte County Resource Conservation District to submit and receive a water
quality grant and to retain Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA) to design the improvements
necessary to reduce the ongoing sediment transported into the waterways. The treatment plan
for the roadway was completed in 2017 by PWA, and County staff rented the equipment
necessary to complete many of the most critical sections that were listed in the NOV. In addition,
Powellton Road has been closed during the winter months, reducing the amount of damage
caused by off-road vehicles. The repairs implemented by staff held up well over the last two
winters. The last phase of the project is to contract out the remaining work, which will improve
the drainage and grading on the non-NOV sections of Powellton Road. This remaining work was
put out to bid this spring (bidding delayed due to Camp Fire staff impacts). The engineer's
estimate for the work is $225,000. On July 1, 2019, bids were opened, with only two bids
received, ranging from a low of $530,347 to a high of $907,484. The low bid is more than double
the engineer's estimate. In the aftermath of the Camp Fire, skilled labor, trucking, equipment
rentals, and material are in short supply, which increases bids. We believe that rejecting all bids
and rebidding this project in January 2020 for construction in spring 2020 will result in reduced
bid prices. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board does not object to this plan —
action requested - 1) REJECT ALL BIDS; AND 2) DIRECT STAFF TO RE -ADVERTISE THIS PROJECT
DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. (Public Works)
3.23 Resolution Recognizing Steven J. Rodowick Upon His Retirement - The Department of Public
Works recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing Steven J. Rodowick

2019 — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public

within the County road right-of-way as part of the Camp Fire recovery effort. Approximately
7,000 trees have been identified as hazardous in accordance Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) guidelines and need to be removed. The trees were evaluated by the County's
arborist, American Tree Medics. The tree removal project is divided into five contracts to reduce

and removing identified hazardous trees, traffic control, storm -water management, and
management of a debris disposal site, in accordance with all federal, State and Local regulations.
The project was advertised beginning July 8, 2019. Eight bids were received and opened July 29,
2019. The Department reviewed the bids and other required documents submitted with the bid
and determined that the lowest responsive and responsible bidder is Bay Area Tree Specialists,
with a bid amount of $784,949. This bid is 18.36% below the engineer's estimate for the project
of $961,500. The Project Specifications for this project are on file at the Public Works office at 7
County Center Drive in Oroville — action requested —1) APPROVE THE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS;
2) AWARD THE CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE BIDDER; AND 3)

4.06 Northern Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management (NSVIRWM) Board of
Directors By -Laws - In 2014, the NSVIRWM Plan was adopted by Butte, Tehama, Glenn, Colusa,
Shasta, and Sutter Counties. As part of the Plan, an eighteen member governing board was
established. The NSVIRWM governing board (Board) consists of three members from each
county with one being a County Supervisor and the other two members being appointed based
on criteria set by each county. The NSVIRWM Plan is being updated to reflect new State
requirements and to reflect current NSVIRWM workload. The proposed NSVIRWM Plan
amendments include reducing each county's appointment to the NSVIRWM Board from three to
two plus an alternate. The NSVIRWM Board will add two Tribal representatives. The NSVIRWM
Board will have 14 members instead of 18. The change is based on needing fewer meetings and
the workload consisting primarily of considering new projects for the Plan and periodic Plan
updates. On June 3, 2019, the NSVIRWM Board supported these changes provided that the
respective County Board of Supervisors have the opportunity to review the changes and provide
input. The Department of Water and Resource Conservation requests that the Board of
Supervisors provide direction to staff on the proposed changes to the NSVIRWM by-laws— action
requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Water and Resource Conservation)

4.07 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Implementation Status - On January 1, 2015,
SGMA went into effect, which provides local public agencies with land use, water management,
or water supply the opportunity to be Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) with the
responsibility of developing and implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs). GSPs
must evaluate the sustainability of the basin and identify projects and actions that will be
implemented to achieve sustainability over a 20 -year period. Each subbasin must be covered by
one or more GSPs by January 30, 2022. Failure to comply will result in the intervention by the
State Water Resources Control Board. In Butte County, GSPs must be developed for the Butte,
Vina, and Wyandotte Creek subbasins. The GSAs have committed to develop and implement one
GSP in each subbasin. To develop and implement one GSP, governance agreements must be
established. The governance agreements in the Vina and Wyandotte Creek subbasins are
established. In the Butte subbasin, a governance concept has been prepared by the GSA
managers. The Department of Water and Resource Conservation recommends that the Board of
Supervisors provide direction to staff to continue developing the agreement. The Department
will present the status of GSP development including the basin setting project and potential
recharge projects that will meet sustainability goals. One recharge project involves creating an
intertie between Paradise Irrigation District (PID) and California Water Service, Chico (CWS). The
project will allow CWS to utilize treated surface water from PID in -lieu of pumping groundwater.
When the water demand in Paradise increases, the Butte County Table A supply could be
diverted through the intertie for use by CWS. A feasibility study will need to be developed for
this concept. In summary, implementation of SGMA and the development of GSPs are on
schedule — action requested - DIRECT STAFF TO DEVELOP THE BUTTE SUBBASIN COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENT CONCEPT AND THE PARADISE IRRIGATION DISTRICT/CALIFORNIAWATER SERVICE,
CHICO INTERTIE PROJECT. (Water and Resource Conservation)

5.03 11:45 am - Resolution of Necessity to Acquire Certain Real Property for the Lower Centerville
Road Failure Project - The Department of Public Works has been in discussions with property
owners at the road failure site on Centerville Road below Centerville for approximately seven
months to appraise and negotiate agreeable terms for the acquisition of easements and right-
of-way for the repairs and long-term maintenance to the road. The two parcels in question are
owned by multiple individuals and trusts, and negotiations have reached the point of impasse. It
is necessary to begin the process of acquisition by eminent domain. The appraised value and
offer for 0.81 acre acquisition is $1,600. The two parcels in question are Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 017-200-067 and 068. The urgency of this project is high due to the limited emergency
access in the Canyon. The project is fully designed and ready to be advertised for construction,
but requires acquisition of real property. The Resolution of Necessity is the first step in the
condemnation process and must be adopted before the Orders of Possession can be requested.
The Department will continue to negotiate with the property owners in an attempt to enter into
purchase agreements prior to the eminent domain proceedings. The Resolution of Necessity and
the notice required for the hearing to adopt the Resolution of Necessity have been mailed to
parcel owners consistent with statutory requirements for this public hearing — action requested
