BACKGROUND In 2007, the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority and Vulcan Material Company entered into the Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement that detailed operational and design standards for the expansion and improvement of El Charro Road. As part of the detailed planning for the project, both Pleasanton and Livermore discussed joint uses of the road, including storm water, traffic signals, pedestrian traffic, landscaping, freeway access, sewer and storm water. As an outcome of these discussions, design specifications for much of the improvements were included in the initial bid documents used for roadway construction. Some, like the improvements related to recycled water, were evolving and not fully addressed in the process. Livermore is now finalizing the construction process and is requesting City reimbursement for those improvements that were added specifically for Pleasanton which were in addition to the overall roadway specifications. In addition to these specialty items, the ACSPA and the City of Livermore funded El Charro Road improvements. DISCUSSION As indicated previously, one of the subject improvements involves the installation of a water meter on the north side of Jack London Boulevard and related infrastructure that allows for joint water usage in the event of an emergency. A reciprocal agreement has been executed with Livermore outlining standards for this water usage. Pleasanton's share of these improvements is $55,704. Livermore is absorbing an equal share for benefits from these improvements. With respect to recycled water, as the Council is aware, the City is moving toward the goal of creating a viable local recycled water distribution system that takes advantage of recycled water available through Livermore and DSRSD. Because recycled water is accessible on El Charro Road, staff has wanted to take advantage of this water source to meet the City's long term goals. By installing two relatively short sections of pipeline, recycled water can be brought to Pleasanton from two sources; DSRSD from the north via El Charro Road and the City of Livermore from the east via Jack London Boulevard. As a result of the infrastructure constructed as part of the Stoneridge Drive extension project, the City will be able to supply recycled water into the Staples Ranch area. Further, recycled water can also be supplied to the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Area when the area is developed. The cost of these improvements is $190,945. It should be noted that the City intends to use this water as landscape irrigation on the Stoneridge Creek Neighborhood Park and for street medians. Also, CLC plans to use some recycled water on its site. Staff is currently finalizing its planned recycled water delivery agreements for receipt of this water.
