~/ô-4 Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Memorandum Peter Ingram, Redwood City Public Works Services Director 10 August 2005 Page 2 . The conversion of the City-owned streetscape irrigation sites to recycled water is expected to begin construction by December 2005 and ready for service in the spring of 2006. Program Support Services Kennedy/Jenks has continued to provide the City with Program Support Services in areas including systems engineering, master planning, project phasing and program development. . The recycled water system design criteria were refined to address safety and reliability, and build future flexibility into the system during the Phase 1 construction, consistent with the City Councils' directives. This included determining control strategies to maintain an operating pressure differential between the recycled and potable water systems. The recycled water system will be operated at a lower pressure than the potable system, eliminating the potential for contamination - even in the event a cross- connection were to occur. The DHS indicated this will provide an additional level of safety, over what most other Cities in California are doing. A Project Phasing Plan has been developed to provide the City with an approach to complete the Phase 1 pipelines and retrofits while minimizing disruption to residents and businesses due to construction. . . Recycled water market assessment data is continuously being refined as new information is discovered during site investigations. A Non-Irrigation Market Assessment is underway to refine the potential non-irrigation recycled water demands and to determine the feasibility of retrofitting sites for non- irrigation uses (like concrete batching, dust control, and commercial cooling). Interviews have been conducted with 22 customers in the Seaport and Redwood Shores Areas, updated demand information is currently being compiled, and a database tool is being developed to provide a means to evaluate recycled water delivery alternatives within the Phase 1 project. . Project Efficiencies The project team continuously evaluates means for increasing project efficiency, thereby decreasing cost to the City. . The City did not fill a proposed role/position (Ambassador) to facilitate customer retrofit this year. It was determined that the existing site retrofit (K/J) and public information (Data Instincts) team could perform this work efficiently at this time, and a new full-time position was not warranted. The need for filling this position will be re-evaluated in 2006, as the number of customers engaged by the project will increase. p:'¡>w-proj\2004\0468025 rwc recycled retrofit & support svcltask 01 proj mgmtlprogress reports & invoiceslannual project update to council-doc
