IREPORT From the ¢~ty Manager November 18, 2002 Subject Proposed Recycled Water Project Recommendation By motion, approve Task Order No. 4 to the professional consulting engineering services agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants Background On June 11, 2001 the City Council approved the agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants for the Water Recycling Feasibility Study for the Redwood Shores area. Kennedy/Jenks was recommended from a field of four firms following a competitive, two- phase selection process. On January 28, 2002, the Council approved Task Order No. 1 which authorized staff and Kennedy/Jenks to begin working directly with Caltrans, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority and their design consultants to conduct a pre-design study of the proposed Hwy. 101 bike path recycled water transmission line and develop a checklist of all technical requirements, permits, constraints and potential costs associated with the work. The work was completed within a very shod period established by Caltrans. On February 4, 2002, the Council reviewed and accepted the Water Recycling Feasibility Study for the Redwood Shores area from Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. On February 25, 2002, the Council approved Task Order No. 2 to the professional consulting engineering services agreement with Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. The Council also approved the list of next steps for moving toward implementation of the Redwood Shores Water Recycling Project, including a cost effectiveness study, project financing plan and review of water rates and connection fees. On March 11,2002, The Council approved Task Order No. 3, which included production of design drawings and specifications for the recycled water transmission line located in the Caltrans right-of-way. The bulk of the pre-bid work is now complete and Caltrans has signed off on the Kennedy/Jenks design work. Sufficient hours and funds remain available in this Task Order to complete oversight work if the City Council approves construction of the transmission line. On August 26, 2002 the City Council reviewed and accepted the final report - Water Recycling Feasibility Study for Redwood City. The companion project financing plan with analysis of water rates and connection fees has been reviewed and discussed by the City Council Utilities Committee in three meetings over the past months. Staff has performed their final review of these work products and the final report will be delivered this month. lof2
