From:			Dave Stoldt,	Program/	Water Supply Projects
			General Manager	Line Item No.:	1-10-1
Prepared By:			Dave Stoldt	Cost Estimate:	$106,900 – Previously approved
General Counsel Approval: N/A
Committee Recommendation: The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on May 13, 2019 and recommended approval.
CEQA Compliance: This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines section 15378.

SUMMARY: The District issued the City a $106,900 grant in 2015 for planning and construction of a non-potable water system that would offset potable supply from the Seaside municipal water system. No grant funds have yet been issued to the City. On May 21, 2018 the District Board approved a two-year extension of the grant to June 30, 2020. The City has now developed a plan approximately as follows:

Sept 2019 Retain Hydrologist

Dec 2019 Design Project

Mar 2020 Solicit Bids & Award Contract

Sept 2020 Construct

As such, the District’s extension is not likely to be sufficient to see the project through completion. Staff recommends an additional one-year extension. If approved, the agreement would be extended to June 30, 2021.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board of Directors approve a one-year extension of the Local Water Project Grant for the City of Seaside to June 30, 2021.

IMPACT TO STAFF/RESOURCES: Funds are included in Water Supply Projects, Line Item 1-10-1 “Local Water Projects” in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2018. It would be carried over to the 2019-20 budget.
