December 10,2007 SUBJECT Agreement with South Bayside System Authority for the transfer of title of the recycled water utility facilities and exchange of easements. RECOMMENDATION Authorize, by motion, the execution of an agreement ("Title Transfer Agreement'') with South Bayside System Authority ("SBSA") to transfer title of recycled water utility facilities and direct the City Clerk to release the existing 1 O-foot and 30~foot utility easements by quitclaim and accept in exchange a 50-foot utility easement offered by SaSA for recycled water utility facilities pursuant to Resolution No.10944 (December 5, 1988). BACKGROUND The City and SBSA entered into an agreement entitled, "Agreement for Production and Delivery of Recycled Water between the South Bayside System Authority and the City of Redwood City," ("Recycled Water Agreement") dated August 1, 2004. At the same time, the City and SBSA also entered into a lease agreement entitled, "Lease Agreement - Recycled Water Treatment/Storage/Pumping Facility Site," ("Lease Agreement") dated August 1, 2004. In this Lease Agreement, SBSA granted the City a 3D-foot wide utility easement ("Relinquished Easement") as described in Exhibit C-3 of that document. On August 22, 2005, the City and SaSA jointly awarded the Redwood City Recycled Water Project, Phase 1 - SBSA Facilities Project - Connecting Pipelines and Utilities Project to the lowest responsible bidder, Stoloski & Gonzalez, Inc. of Half Moon Bay, California, to construct recycled water utility facilities ("Utility Facilities"). Pursuant to the Recycled Water Agreement, SaSA is obligated to transfer title of the Utility Facilities to the City upon completion and acceptance of the work to construct. The construction was satisfactorily completed as of August 15, 2006. The Utility Facilities were constructed in a new 50-foot wide utility easement ("Superseding Easement") on property owned by SBSA and as described in Exhibit B of the Title Transfer Agreement. The proposed agreement, in effect, rescinds the existing grant of the Relinquished Easements, grants the City the Superseding Easement in which the Utility Facilities are constructed, and transfers title of the Utility Facilities to the City. Sohley Consulting. consulting engineer for SaSA, has prepared and submitted the easement documentation, quitclaim, and grant deed. A copy of the agreement is available for review in the City Clerk's office.
