6-1C Page 2 In August 2003, the City Council approved a broadly defined, flexible project; filed a California Environmental Quality Act Notice of Determination, and formed a citizen community task force to provide input on the implementation of the project. The Council charged the Task Force with the "goal to identify 1,946 acre-feet per year of potable water demand reductions by 2010, in a financially feasible manner, that avoids using recycled water at schoolyards, parks, and playgrounds". The Task Force (supported by City staff and Kennedy/Jenks) completed their work in March 2004, and unanimously recommended that the City implement an alternative project that - through a combination of recycled water use, replacement of natural turf playing fields with synthetic turf, continued use of some groundwater, and additional water conservation programs - achieves their goal. The City Council accepted the Task Force Report and directed staff to return with various implementation actions for their consideration. On June 14, 2004, the City Council received a presentation from staff that outlined the many significant challenges of successfully implementing the Task Force's recommendation in a timely and efficient manner. Also the City Council reviewed the principles of the proposed Agreement for Production and Delivery of Recycled Water ("Agreement") and the Lease Agreement for Recycled Water Treatment / Storage / Pumping Facility Site ("Lease") between the South Bayside System Authority and the City. At their meeting of July 26, 2004, the City Council approved the final Agreement (with some additional provisions requested by community members) and Lease, which together provide all of the legal, operational and financial details of the long-term partnership between the two agencies. On August 23, 2004, the City Council approved the first of the multi-year professional services agreements with Kennedy/Jenks Consultant for the design of all of the pipeline improvements that will be constructed within public rights-of-way in the Redwood Shores Project Area (Bid Packages 1 to 3 in attached project map). The design for Bid Packages 1 & 2 has been successfully completed, which are now under construction. The design for Bid Package 3 will be completed shortly for next year's construction. The City Council is now asked to consider and approve the second-year professional services agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for the Recycled Water Project- Phase 1 - Distribution System Design - Skyway and Seaport Project Area This agreement includes the design of all of the pipeline improvements that will be constructed within public rights-of-way in the Skyway and Seaport Project Area, which are shown as Bid Packages 4 and 5 in the accompanied map. The consultant will prepare the plans, specifications and cost estimates for the proposed improvements, and assist the City in bidding the project. Key design features of the project include: ~ Approximately 18,000 lineal feet (If) of new recycled water pipelines, ranging from 12-inches to 24-inches in diameter, and ~ Approximately 20 service laterals, ranging in size from 1-inch to 8-inch diameter will extend from the new recycled water pipelines to each eligible customer site.
