RECYCLED The 2003-04 Capital Improvement Program includes funding for a Recycled Water Master
WATER Plan Study, This study will evaluate the feasibility of developing a recycled water system.
MASTER PLAN Over the years. localized drought conditions have diminished drinking water sources,
STUDY lowered pumping levels of ground water and made it difficult to meet annual demands
without purchasing treated water from metropolitan Water District (MWD). MWD treated
water is over twice the cost of water produced through the CIty'S water system, An
alternative for securing additional water is through the use of ,recycled water. which can be
used effecllvely for non-potable water demands, Addlllonally. recycled water IS a drought-
resistant water source, which can help offset further use of potable water as ItS demand
increases during drought and/or dry conditions.
Staff requested proposals from four (4) engineering firms to perform the Recycled Water
Feasibility Study. Two (2) proposals were received and evaluated by a selection committee,
Stetson Engineers Inc. was rated the highest, based on their successful completion of
project of similar complexity; experience of their project manager with respect to local water
issues and familiarity With recycled water systems; and the firm's compliance With the RFP,
FollOWing the staff report considerable discussion ensued concluded by the following motion
It was MOVED by Councllmember Chang, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Marshall and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to AWARD a Professional Services Agreement in the
amount of $40.000 to Stetson Engineers Inc, for a Recycled Water FeaSibility Study; and.
AUTHORIZED the City Manager and City Clerk to EXECUTE a contract in a form approved
by the City Attorney.
