such expenditure, the issuer declares an intention to reimburse such expenditure; and

official intent to reimburse the expenditures referenced herein.

Wastewater Treatment Fund, including, but not limited to revenue bonds, loans and
installment p
Project.
SECTION 2. The City hereby declares that it reasonably expects (i) to pay certain

EXHIBIT A
Project Description
1. Primary Sedimentation Tank Replacement (PST)
This project is for new protective coatings on each of the four concrete primary sedimentation
tanks and replacement of worn rotating parts. The tanks which remove settled solids and
grease were installed in 1972. The coating ensures that reinforcing steel bars within the
another 30 years. Without recoating, the concrete will lose its structural integrity, gradually
spalling and harming pumps, pipes, and treatment systems as a result. In a mild seismic event,
weakened concrete could potentially collapse, endangering staff and the treatment system.
2. Laboratory & Environmental Services Building (Lab)
This project is for a new building that will consolidate staff and provide a larger updated lab.
Currently staff is located in four separate aging buildings that also house industrial pumps. An
existing laboratory does not have adequate space for staff, instruments, chemical storage, and
microbiology testing.
3. Secondary Treatment Upgrades (STU)
The existing Secondary Treatment process has two main components: the Fixed Film Reactors
(FFR) and the Activated Sludge (AS) Process. This project includes the reconstruction of the AS
process, rehabilitation of the AS Aeration Basins and the elimination of the FFRs. The AS
Aeration Basins will be subdivided with concrete walls creating different zones where different
pollutants can be treated. A special study was completed in 2017, which proposed a complete
Secondary Treatment process upgrade instead of individual rehabilitation projects (e.g. FFR).
The project will not only reduce organics and ammonia like the existing processes, but will also
reduce total nitrogen, the next pollutant being regulated.
4. Outfall Line (OFL)
This project is to construct a new parallel outfall pipe to convey final plant effluent to San
Francisco Bay. Installation of a new outfall line is needed to address outfall age (built in 1964),
but especially to address the outfall capacity considering all peak wetweather flow, peak tide,
and future sea level rise scenarios. The existing system lines are inadequate to pass the Plant's
peak wet weather hydraulic flow capacity of 80 million gallons per day under all circumstances
of peak tides, peak wetweather flows, and future sea level rise scenarios.
