~:ea Ity Analysis - City Council "A" List Priorities for Fiscal Years 2002103/04 (Cont.) Priority #2: Implement Water Recyclin;i Project · Assumptions The JPA-owned South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) waste water treatment plant in Redwood Shores is willing and ready to assume the rot~ of 'wholesale supplier' of recycled water that meets State health coae Title 22 regulations for landscape irrigation and industrial uses. Redwood City will design, construct and operate a new storage, pumping and distribution system to deliver recycled water to appropriate - customers, beginning with Redwood Shores as a first phase. · Potential obstacles The first major obstacle - engineering feasibility - has been cleared. The City Council accepted the final report from Kennedy/Jenks Consultants on February 4, 2001, and approved a list of 'next steps' to continue their exploration of the feasibility and benefits of ultimately approving the project. The next set of issues to be addressed via additional work approved for Kennedy/Jenks and the firm of CH2M HILL include financial feasibility, funding and environmental clearance. · Nexus Included in current work plan. · Estimated initial cost In FY 02/03, $2-$3 million will be required to fund a consultant contract for system design and production of bid documents.

Staff assumes that we will use consulting engineering firm(s) to provide a full range of construction management services, commencing in the summer of 2003. Staffing in Engineering & Construction must be addressed In early FY 02/03. · Options/alternatives A "no project" alternative will be studied within the context of the financial planning and CEQA work by June 2002. Priority #3: Re;llonal Water Supply- Fix the System · Assumptions This issue has been in the forefront of BAWUA's strategic plan for several years. The regional water distribution system is in dire need of major renovation and seismic safety upgrades.
