CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Technical Services Task Order Agreement with
RMC, Water Consultants, for Preparation of a State Grant Application for a
Recycled Water Master Plan and Appropriating Funds ($10,000)
MEETING DATE: February 1,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving a technical
services task order agreementwith RMC, Water Consultants, for
preparation of a State grant application for a Recycled Water Master
Plan (RWMP) and appropriating funds as shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As an incentiveto municipalities to prepare Recycled Water Master
Plans and to pursue the use of recycled water, the State Regional
Water Quality Control Board (SRWQCB) is offering grants of up to
$75,000 to help in the cost of preparing these plans.
Lodi's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan is currently being prepared by RMC (consulting engineers),
and it includes recycled water and treated surface water as important components of Lodi's future water
supply for both existing and future residents. This plan is nearly complete and will be presented to the
Council in the near future.
While this plan is not required by the State, staff does believe that recycled water will be an important part
of Lodi's future water supply and that we should take advantage of this incentive program. The estimated
cost of the plan is $150,000. The $10,000 cost to prepare the application will help improve our chances
of obtaining the $75,000 matching grant, as RMC is well -versed in this program. At this time, staff is
requesting approval of the task order agreement to cover RMC services to prepare, submit, and process
a grant application to the State. This work will set the framework for including recycled water in Lodi's
masterwater supply program that can be expanded to fit the new General Plan. An appropriation of
$10,000 from the Water Fund is required to fund the grant application.
FISCAL IMPACT: City utility costs for recycled water may be recovered through development
charges or rates, depending on future decisions to be made by the Council.
Staff will be recommending that approval of future developments include
requirementsfor recycled water facilities which would include planning and
design costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Water Fund $10,000
