installed immediately. The Phase II portion is needed so that fire protection to a new home being constructed by Mr. Callahan on the old Ruby Hill Winery site will be available as soon as possible. Phase III of the waterline will be put out to bid by the City's Public Works Department at a later date. The total estimated cost of the pipeline design and the City's portion of installation cost for Phase II of the project is estimated at a not to exceed amount of $135,000. The entire pipeline project is currently budgeted within the City's Capital Improvement Program as CIP Project No. 041014. There are sufficient funds within this project for the City's costs to design and construct the Phase II work as presented in the attached reimbursement agreement. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The City's Water Master Plan Update (WMPU), prepared by Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) in 2003, identified a list of projects to improve the City's existing water system and assure that future demands on the water system would also be constructing necessary new additions to the system. The WMPU's recommended near-term improvement projects were incorporated in the City's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to be constructed in FY 2004/05 through 2007/08. One of the near-term projects included installing a new Bonde Zone waterline to provide a connection between the City's existing water system located within the Vintage Hills area of the City, through the new Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan area, to the City's lower Ruby Hill water pressure area. The purpose of the new pipeline is to provide connectivity, redundancy and reliability within the City's Bonde water pressure zone and allow adequate water service to all three areas (Vintage Hills, Vineyard Corridor and Lower Ruby Hill area) as the development of in-fill projects within these areas are constructed. As part of the pre-design for this new pipeline, City staff evaluated a number of routes to construct this water line while also evaluating the available right of way in the area. This effort determined that installing the pipeline within the Mitchell Katz Winery property presented the best alternative of available right of way and appropriate alignment route. The pipeline route chosen will install the line between the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department No. 5 Fire Station on Vineyard Avenue and the intersection of West Ruby Hill Drive and Zenato Place (see Exhibit A). Mr. Michael Callahan, one of the owners of the Mitchell Katz Winery, and owner of the property surrounding this winery, agreed to grant an easement to the City for constructing this line through his property in February 2003.
