Recommended projects include: • Strengthen the existing pile foundation of the Peninsula No. 2 Water Tank to resist seismic forces. • Strengthen the wood roof of the Carson Reservoir to prevent the collapse of the roof into the reservoir. • Provide isolation valves and standpipes in the Redwood Shores region to allow for rapid resumption of water service following earthquake related damage to the water pipes in that region. • Anchor essential equipment in pump stations. • Provide flexible piping connections and/or improve anchorage at Glenloch, Easter Cross, Cambridge 1&2, Easter Bowl, and Wilmington Tanks to accommodate potential tank uplift or sliding. WHEREAS, since 2011, in accordance with the City Council's Grant Management directives, staff has been aggressively pursuing grant funding from FEMA to assist in accomplishing City capital improvement goals and objectives. The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program would allow the City to complete the above-mentioned essential seismic retrofit work with no on-going impacts on City finances and administration; and ATTY/RESO.0114/APPROVING AN APPROPRIATION WITHIN THE RWC CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND RESO NO, 15727 REV: 12-10-18 VR MUFF NO. 505 Page 1 of 2
