recommended that the protest be denied for various reasons, including but not limited
to BBR's failure to raise its objections on a timely basis, BBR's lack of standing since it

Dear Paul,
I enjoyed meeting you at the District's Board Meeting earlier this week. Although our meeting was
brief, it was nice to put a face to the name after speaking on the phone several times. I want to
thank you and the Board again for allowing me the opportunity to comment at yesterday's meeting.
On behalf of DYK and the prestressed concrete tank Industry, I apologize again for the
unprofessional actions of some parties that have taken place during the project's bid period. As I
have stated previously, this is a family issue that is, unfortunately, being played out in public for
everyone to see. I agree that these events were a major drain of everyone's time and money.
Although these events were beyond our control, I do recognize the negative effects they have on
our company and our industry. DYK will do what it can to ensure smooth construction operations
for your project and to ensure you receive the highest quality tank. I sincerely hope that by the
time this project nears completion you will be pleased with the tank and that these events will be a
distant memory.
In an effort to efficiently minimize everyone's time, the project team did not address one issue
brought up at the Board meeting. This issue relates to the similarity in drawings between CDM's
drawings for the District's project and DYK's drawings for a City of San Diego project. I recall a
comment from one of the Board Members indicating the Board may discuss this issue with CDM at
a later date. I would like to briefly address this issue, should you or the Board have any concerns.
The drawings for the San Diego project were part of DYK's bid submittal to General Contactors
bidding on that project. The San Diego project was a design/build project which required the tank
design to be submitted with the bids. The copyright note referenced in Tuesday's meeting was
included to protect DYK's interest in the bidding environment. As you are well aware, your project
did not call for a tank design to be submitted with the bids since the tank had already been
designed by CDM. As such, the copyright note is not relevant to your project.
Regarding the similarity in drawings, I would like to point out that the majority of prestressed
concrete tanks designed in California by various consulting firms all have very similar drawings.
While each of these tanks is unique and requires an extensive design, these tanks have very
similar detailing. They are round, have a flat roof supported by round columns and are designed to
meet high seismic criteria. The various consulting firms who design these tanks all use Autocad to
produce their drawings. It is therefore expected that these drawings would be very similar.
Consultants frequently request DYK's standard detailing and previous designs and we gladly
forward these designs. In fact, we even post drawings on our web site. Having specialized in
prestressed concrete tanks for over 40 years, we are frequently called on for our tank expertise.
We are proud to be acknowledged as such and proud to offer our details. However, it is ultimately
the consultant's responsibility to thoroughly review any drawing details they receive from us, make
any necessary revisions and seal the drawings, as was done on your project. I would like to add
that even if we did not supply these drawings, they are public record as part of previous bid
projects and anyone would be able to obtain them, such as BBR's representative did for the City of
San Diego project.
In conclusion, I would like to also point out that the two drawings presented at the Board meeting
are referred to as "standard details" in the tank industry. These are details that rarely change and
therefore it is common to see them repeated on various projects. For example, placement of the
seismic cables and vertical post tensioning, circumferential prestressing anchors and standard
construction notes rarely change. It is more efficient to review these details and copy them, rather
than recreate them each time.
Thank you again for the opportunity to present the above information. I look forward to working
with you and the District on this project, if I can be of assistance at any time, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
~' Sincerely,
DYK Incorporated

The Central Valley Tour
May 22'24, 2002
Sponsored by the Water Education Foundation
A combination of individual entrepreneurship and government policies encouraging settlement of the West
transformed California's great Central Valley into what it is today - the most productive agricultural region in
the world. The southern half, the San Joaquin Valley, is home to the top three farming counties in the nation.
Yet the face oft_he valley, best known by many as a conduit of the state's largest water projects and Interstate 5,
is changing. Water supplies, farmland conversion for urban growth and environmental restoration are three of
~1~ the biggest challenges facing the valley as it enters the 21st century.
The Central Valley Tour provides an opportunity to learn about efforts to deal with the unique problems'
of the San Joaquin Valley,'which affect the economy and water needs of the rest of the state. On the tour you
visit the farms that are the "factory" for the local residents - agriculture remains the No. 1 source of income.
You also will see the water projects that irrigate these lands, environmental restoration sites and the cities and
towns in one of the state's fastest gro~ing regions.
This fast-paced tour begins at the Sacramento International Airport, travels down the
west side of the San Joaquln Valley to Bakersfield and back up the east side to Sacra-
mento. Along the way speakers will discuss the differences in
east and west side issues. The tour is co-sponsored by the
California Department of Water Resource and the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region.
On the tour you will learn about:
· The Central Valley Project Improvement Act
* Growth, fan-nland preservation and water supply issues
· Agricultural drainage and soil salinity problems
· How Bay-Delta decisions affect the valley
· Groundwater use, management, recharge and banking
V · Water quality
· Environmental restoration and protection
· Water marketing and transfers ; '.'
The mission of the Water Education Foundation. an impartial, non-profit organization, is to create a better
understanding of water issues and help resolve water resource problems through educational programs.
We will visit: · San Luis Reservoir and Gianelli Pumping Plant
· Mendota Pool
· The Delta-Mendota Canal
· Panoche Water District
· Wesflands Water District
· West valley farms
· Tulare Lake Basin water storage and drainage districts
· Semitropic Water Storage District
· Kern Water Bank
· A commercial nursery
· Friant Dam
· The San Joaquin River Parkway
· Modesto Irrigation District
· A daixy farm
