SUMMARY: The Monterey Peninsula Water
Management District (MPWMD) Water Project 1 Aquifer Storage and Recovery site
(formerly referred to as the Phase 1 ASR site) has a water service connection
from the Marina Coast Water District (MCWD).
The water service is for the purpose of lubricating the shaft bearings
for the two ASR wells at the site, and for landscape irrigation. The service is being provided by MCWD as the
site is located in the MCWD service territory.
The total charge from MCWD for the service connection, including staff
labor, permit fee, construction, water capacity charge, and water connection
fee, is $24,662.07, as shown in the invoice in Exhibit 4-A.
RECOMMENDATION:
District staff recommends that the General Manager be authorized to
approve the expenditure of $24,662 (Exhibit
4-A) for the permanent water service
connection at the Water Project 1 site from the MCWD. This invoice will be processed subsequent to
adoption of the Consent Calendar.
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, MPWMD sought approval for a water service connection at the
Water Project 1 site from California American Water, but was not able to secure
this connection because the site is located within the service territory of the
MCWD. Accordingly, staff coordinated
with MCWD to secure a temporary 2-inch water service connection in 2008. Subsequently, the temporary service
connection had to be relocated to accommodate the realignment of General Jim
Moore Boulevard. This work has now been
done and MPWMD has received an invoice for the permanent connection from
MCWD. Once payment of this invoice is
received, MCWD will then refund the $1,750 deposit paid for the temporary
connection. This amount will then be
credited back to the project contingency in the budget.
IMPACT
ON STAFF/RESOURCES: The cost for the permanent water service
connection from MCWD will come from the contingency fund line item (Line 1-2-1
A 1 g) of the MPWMD’s Fiscal Year 2010-11 budget (page 15 of revised March 21,
2011 budget).
