Purpose. The purpose of this MOU is to establish the terms and <br />conditions for the cost sharing and responsibilities for the design phase of the Bayfront Canal <br />and Atherton Channel Flood Management and Restoration Project (hereinafter referred to as <br />"PROJECT"), which will include the engineering planning, design drawings, technical <br />specifications, and cost estimates; environmental compliance and construction permitting; and <br />securing property access rights necessary to initiate construction bidding. This includes initial <br />site surveys, hydraulic analysis, environmental and construction permitting approval, design <br />drawings, specifications and engineering design estimates for the Bayfront Canal and Atherton <br />Channel Flood Management and Restoration Project, as listed in the "Scope" section of Exhibit <br />A to this MOU titled, Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel Flood Management and Restoration <br />Project. This MOU is for design only, does not include construction and operation and <br />maintenance activities, and does not bind any member agency's participation in construction or <br />operations and maintenance activities, but it may serve as a template for future agreements with <br />the Collaborative. <br />This MOU outlines responsibilities for the first of a series of projects that will provide a regional <br />approach for flood risk management. The Collaborative will maintain a comprehensive list of the <br />current known flood risk reduction projects in the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel <br />watersheds. Contributing percentages,as shown in Section 5 of the MOU and Exhibit A, will be <br />used to determine the initial expected financial contribution of each member in the Collaborative. <br />The flow contributions will be reviewed in the initial hydraulic modeling task performed by the <br />design consultant, and confirmed by the Collaborative. This MOU and Exhibit A describes the <br />process to modify contribution percentages following the consultant's hydraulic analysis. <br />Additional projects that could impact flow contributions,including but not limited to the projects <br />described in Table 2 of Exhibit A, will not be included until significant design and funding of <br />those projects is completed. <br />PROJECT construction, operation, and maintenance cost responsibilities will be addressed in <br />future Agreements, or MOUs,subj ect to the agreement of all parties. <br />20171024_Bayrront_MOU Final <br />
