the City reviewed and approved plans titled, "Irby Ranch Tract 8245 Improvement Plans, E17-0777 (revised sheets 31 to 33 including water revisions.)" 2. Authorize the amendment language to commit the City of Pleasanton to reimburse Meritage Homes the actual cost of construction up to a not-to-exceed amount of $840,930. 3. Authorize the transfer of $255,106 from the Water Enterprise fund to the Del Valle Parkway Water Main Extension Project, CIP No. 94115, to fully fund the construction cost. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The current Capital Improvement Program includes $585,824 in the Del Valle Parkway Water Main Extension Project, CIP No. 94115, for this project. It is recommended that the shortfall of $255,106 be transferred from the Water Enterprise Fund Reserve to CIP 94115 to fully fund the work. BACKGROUND Several years ago, the City's General Plan showed Del Valle Parkway to eventually be constructed from Hopyard Road at the west end, to Bernal Avenue at the east end. As City Council is aware, Del Valle Parkway is currently constructed from Hopyard Road east to Main Street. and the proposed portion of Del Valle Parkway, between Main Street and Bernal Avenue, has since been removed from the current General Plan and is no longer being considered. While the removal of the extension of Del Valle Parkway from the General Plan was based upon the street being unnecessary for transportation purposes, the need remains for the water utility infrastructure along the no longer proposed Del Valle Parkway road alignment from Stanley Boulevard to Bernal Avenue. The 16-inch diameter water pipeline at the intersection of Bernal Avenue and Nevada Street receives water directly from the Zone 7 supply turn-out facility immediately east of Fire Station No 1. As planned, the connection from Bernal Avenue, along Nevada Street, to the existing 16-inch line in Stanley Boulevard allows the water from the Zone 7 facility to be transported from the facility, along First Street, toward downtown and beyond, as well as along Old Stanley Boulevard, also towards downtown and beyond. This connection is intended to provide the quantity and quality of water needed in the downtown area and to points further south and west in the City. The need for the pipeline was identified in the 2004 Water Master Plan. It was also identified much earlier, as evidenced by having funds for the work budgeted in the 1995 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Even though the pipeline was identified as a need for a long time, the pipeline alignment required the acquisition of right-of-way across private undeveloped properties, therefore construction was deferred. (More recently the need for this connection was highlighted by the repairs required at City Well 5 located at the intersection of Santa Rita Road and Black Avenue, as well as the emerging issue associated with PFAS detected in the well water. Well 5 also currently supplies much of the water to the downtown area and beyond that is described above. This pipeline connection will create an alternative source of high-quality water for the area and reduce the demand on City Well 5.) Page 2 of 5
