6.1.A. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er June 25, 2012 SUBJECT Professional Services Agreement with TRA Environmental Sciences, Inc. for the California Potable Water Tank, Pump Station, and Pipeline Project RECOMMENDATION Approve an agreement for environmental consulting services with TRA Environmental Sciences, Inc. for the preparation of the California Potable Water Tank, Pump Station, and Pipeline Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). BACKGROUND On October 10, 2011, the City Council accepted the Water System Master Plan Report and directed staff to move forward with specific recommendations and projects for future Council consideration. The Water System Master Plan forecasts improvements necessary to accommodate water demand by new and redevelopment activities anticipated by the city's General Plan; analyzes and identifies improvements for reliable performance during normal and emergency conditions, such as fires and earthquakes; and prioritizes capital improvements to the system for the next 20 years. ANALYSIS Among the proposed major long-term improvements, a replacement water tank is planned in the Emerald Hills area for the Easter Bowl/California. A replacement water tank is being proposed in the Easter Bowl/California Pressure Zones of the Emerald Hills area of the City primarily to provide additional water storage capacity to meet established storage capacity for normal operations and emergency situations. This priority project will construct a new 800,000 to 1-million gallon water tank including associated water pipeline and pump station facilities within the next three years. The project components are: • The construction of the water tank on a City owned site at the corner of California Way and Tum Suden Way; • Replacement or repair of existing pipeline that will connect the new water tank to the Easter Bowl and Easter Cross water tanks, both located up-slope of the project site; • Construction of a new pipeline between the new water tank and the new pump station on the project site;
