6.3A Page 1 February 13, 2006 Subject Highway 101 Bicycle Path - Recycled Water Transmission Line Recommendation By Resolution, approve Amendment No.1 to the Contribution Agreement between the City of Redwood City and the State of California for Highway 101 Bicycle Path - Recycled Water Transmission Line Cost Share Background On June 3, 2002, by resolution, the City Council approved the Contribution Agreement with the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and authorized the City Manager to enter into the Contribution Agreement ("Agreement") for the City to pay 1 00% of the actual cost of the installation of a 24-inch recycled water transmission line in the Highway 101 right-of-way. On the same date, the Council also approved the bike path Maintenance Agreement with Caltrans, which commits the City to fund and provide on- going maintenance services for the path. Staff is waiting for Caltrans to close out their construction contracts and turn the path over to the City, anticipated in April 2006. Caltrans is nearing completion of the Highway 101 auxiliary lane improvement project, including construction of a new 12-foot wide bicycle path adjacent to Highway 101 between the Whipple Avenue on-ramp and Sky Way frontage road in San Carlos. Caltrans has performed the construction of the 24-inch recycled water transmission line under the bike path. The pipeline is capped at both ends for future connection to the Redwood City recycled water system. This segment of the transmission infrastructure will move large volumes of recycled water from its source at the South Bay Systems Authority treatment plant out of Redwood Shores into the rest of Redwood City. Consistent with input from the City Council Utilities Committee to create maximum future flexibility / capacity, the pipe was sized to serve Redwood City and other, adjacent agencies and/or users as well. Subsequent to the approval of the Agreement, Caltrans informed city staff that two provisions related to state statutes had been inadvertently omitted from the Caltrans agreement form and that an amendment would be requested to incorporate those into the Agreement. Staff agreed to process the amendment request, and also agreed to wait until substantial completion of the pipeline and bike path construction, in case any additional items came to light. To date, there have been no additional construction-related items identified. The attached "Amendment to Contribution Agreement" describes two new articles to be incorporated into the Agreement: . Article 11 clarifies that the City is solely responsible for removing or relocating the recycled water transmission line in the event that future State improvements to Highway 101 require the pipe to be moved. The resulting risk to the City is Page 1 of 2 . ..".",-,-,--,-_.__._,-,-"'-_._- ,..'--,-- ..-..,._,---"------_.,--'"" '-"'--."-.""-'---"-"'--'"
