On September 21, 2004 the City Council awarded a consultant contract to Ruggeri, Jensen, Azar and Associates (RJA) to prepare design plans and specifications for the design of the access road to the reservoir including a water main, sanitary sewer and storm drain. On December 7, 2004 the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a purchase and sales agreement to acquire the land necessary for the construction of the Vineyard Reservoir. The owner of the reservoir site intends to develop the property in the future, and will need an 18-foot private road with normal City utilities, including underground joint trench (PG&E, telephone and cable) to serve the future development. The property owner had asked the City to determine the incremental cost of constructing the 18-foot wide road rather than the 12-foot wide road needed to access the reservoir, and install additional utilities that could serve the site in the future. These additional improvements were considered to be compensation for the acquisition of the tank site property and required easements. Since the City agreed to provide these utilities, it is necessary that the contract with RJA be amended to include the design of the underground joint trench utilities. RJA has estimated the cost of providing this service at $22,500.00. Additionally, the design of the reservoir and the access road will require the services of a geotechnical engineer to provide soils information critical to the design of these facilities. RJA has agreed to provide these services on a time and materials basis for a not-to-exceed amount of $13,980.00 Budget At this time, sufficient funds remain budgeted in the Vineyard Corridor Infrastructure Improvement, Water Tank, Supply Line and Pump Station Project (CIP No. 011023) to incorporate this contract amendment. The Vineyard Corridor water reservoir is designed to serve the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan area. Pursuant to the terms of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Financing Program approved by City Council on March 7, 2000, the cost of the Phase 3 water improvements are to be funded by the City's Water Expansion Fund. These funds are to be reimbursed to the City through the Specific Plan fees. However, reimbursement will occur only after all other shared Specific Plan improvements have been reimbursed.
