in Shearwater Parkway, just east of the Laguna Pointe Development. 1· B-3 . A new 24-inch diameter recycled water pipeline will be constructed in Redwood Shores Parkway approximately 1000 feet west of the intersection of Redwood Shores Parkway and Twin Dolphin Drive. The termination of this pipeline will serve as the future connection point for the future Skyway Project Area. 2. Recycled Water Project - Customer Retrofit and Program Support Services - Phase One Staff contact / contract manager: Peter Ingram, Public Works Services Director This agreement includes a comprehensive set of services spanning 3~ years, designed to cover up to 57 existing customer sites that will require retrofits to irrigation and industrial process systems. The scope and budget are based on cumulative City Council policy and direction as well as Kennedy/Jenks' experience on a similar retrofit project for the South Bay Water Recycling Program. The scope requires the Consultant to report results for each year's effort and recommend efficiency adjustments in resources as the knowledge base for Redwood City is accumulated. Contingent on annual budget appropriations and satisfactory Consultant performance, the Council will then authorize additional work for the each of the following fiscal years until work is completed in December 2007. The estimated value of the 42-month retrofit effort for Phase One is $1,640,400, with a recommended Council authorization for Fiscal Year 2004/05 of $574,100 (or 35% of the estimated total). These significant agreements are expected to span multiple years as the Council guides the overarching project to completion, and will complement city staff who will be working on the project but who cannot be allocated full time to the effort. Kennedy/Jenks will provide the technical resources to design and construct the distribution (piping) system for the Redwood Shores Project Area and the customer site retrofits for Phase One of the Recycled Water Project ("Alternative TF", as recommended by the Task Force, and limited to service areas east of Highway 1 01). Staff will return at various project milestones with recommended amendments to each agreement in order to continue the work as planned. Alternative The work included in the scope of services could be provided by adding city staff. However, this would entail at least six months of delay in the project, and would result in a staff down-sizing at the end of the project phase. Staff believes that Kennedy/Jenks readiness to move quickly on the basis their work to date is a key efficiency factor. Fiscal Impact The total requested authorization for these two agreements is $1,517,400, or 3.5% of the estimated cost of the "Alternative TF" Project as recommended by the Recycled Water T ask Force ($43.6 million). Of the $7.1 million budgeted for the project to date by the City Council, approximately $4.6 million is available as of August 1, 2004. The Council will consider a refined financing plan and new water connection fees ordinance in the fall of 2004. Prior to the Council's approval of the project, and the subsequent Task Force report and recommendations, staff had estimated that annual water rate increases ranging from 6% to 9% per year for 10-13 years would be required to generate the additional revenues needed to finance the project. A portion of connection fees collected during that time (could be as much as 40% of total costs) would offset those impacts.
