[5:15] Good morning, everyone. It's after 11 o'clock, we will call the capital informant, program committee meeting to order, roll call, please.

[5:25] Thank you. Good morning. Director Estroma, Vice Chairperson Bell is in another meeting. You should be here shortly.

[5:32] Yeah, I believe he's in the comments.

[5:34] Yeah, and Chairperson, Sheila.

[5:36] Here.

[5:36] Thank you.

[5:37] Thank you.

[5:39] either of the two time open for public comment or any item not on the agenda.

[5:45] Do we have a request to speak to this committee?

[5:48] We have no request to speak, Madam Chair.

[5:51] Hey, thank you.

[5:55] Item 3.1 approval of June 15, 2026 steps in moving the program committee minutes.

[6:02] Do we have a motion to approve this meeting minutes?

[6:07] Okay, I was second at on your favorite say I I I okay, many minutes it's approved

[6:16] Moving on to our regular agenda and then 4.1 receive and discuss information regarding the status of capital projects in the feasibility and the planning phase

[6:30] Yeah, the rectabelle is here just in time

[6:34] was to start the

[6:37] I am 4.1. So, we'll start with the project that's currently in feasibility and planning phase.

[6:46] They are a large found to print out in front of us, we'll start with Andrew.

[6:52] Yes, good morning, Andrew Garcia.

[6:54] This is a small serve dam safety capital delivery division.

[6:57] For the dam seismic stability evaluations, no major updates on the evaluations themselves,

[7:02] However, myself, Ryan and a few members of our staff went to Sacramento last week and met with

[7:08] the SOD to discuss some of the seismic retrofit projects, but also the status of these

[7:13] seismic stability evaluations, and discuss some ideas so these comments and some revisions to

[7:18] the reports, which will be provided to the SOD. So no changes from what you see here, except from

[7:23] some minor discussion with the SOD on their support of the evaluations and their ongoing evaluation

[7:28] of our reports.

[7:34] Next one is, okay. Next one pure water silicone valley full scale DEPR facility that's

[7:41] clear certain. Here's that's not here. I'll think you're going to do it. Okay, go ahead.

[7:53] Good morning.

[7:57] The update on the full scale is facility for DPR. The staff is currently working on the planning report

[8:05] for P5 Water and Silicon Valley, DPR for full-scale, and then also the exclusive negotiation

[8:16] I can recommend to reserve the space for the full-scale DPR facility was executed by

[8:22] Valley Water and the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara already. On the demo facility,

[8:28] On June 9, 2020-26, the Valley Water Board of Directors approved a design contract with

[8:37] the ACOM technical services for a non-to-exceed amount of 4,499,919,917 dollars.

[8:50] The agreement included design and bid award services for two facilities, the 200th

[8:56] hours per minute, direct for a reuse pilot to return facility inside Silicon Valley Advanced

[9:02] Water Pervocation Center and a two-way care learning center complex next to the Silicon Valley

[9:08] Advanced Water Pervocation Center. Notice the first port seat for the design contract was issued

[9:15] on June 17, 2020, 6th and Project Ecocard meeting was held on July 14th.

[9:24] The staff is working on providing requested information and coordination with EECOM to initiate

[9:31] the investigation and staff continue to work with regulators to finalize the testing and monitoring

[9:38] plan for the demonstration facility, which will lead to a permitting of a food and scale facility.

[9:47] The demonstration facility project expected to receive $1 million, $92, $1 million in physical

[9:57] physical 226.

[10:00] I think Jose and also gave you the update, not only for four one or four two, so we'll we do have on the feasibility and planning stage was the first part he was also gave you the update for four two, so we'll be able to kind of get there.

[10:15] So if there's a little confusion, the feasibility planning was the first first part of that update and then the design was on the four two and we'll cover that again in four two, so just wanted to give you a little update you got enthusiastic and gave you the update for four two also.

[10:28] I can't buy them both too because it was too better to be more efficient.

[10:33] Sorry.

[10:34] I can't.

[10:35] I can't know.

[10:36] Okay.

[10:39] Next three.

[10:40] I think three is a loose water treatment plant.

[10:43] It's getting.

[10:45] So staff is completed the core planning package.

[10:47] The planning study report implementation plan.

[10:50] Basins with design reports and technical baseline document.

[10:53] So they established the recommended long-term improvements and implementation strategy for

[10:57] water stream and facilities. Our focus is moving those recommendations towards implementation. This includes

[11:03] environmental planning through the programmatic environmental impact report, continued work on the Silicon

[11:08] Valley Advanced Water Perification Center and liquid ammonia sulfate projects, and then advancing the

[11:13] liquid ammonia sulfate design to the 10% level. And we're also preparing the public draft program environmental

[11:19] impact report for release later this year. For the distribution system master plan implementation project,

[11:26] We've completed condition evaluations for key pump stations, the Campbell, well-field, and Santa

[11:31] Masinjection Well.

[11:33] These evaluations document facility condition, remaining useful life and renewal needs, providing

[11:38] a basis for future capital planning and asset management decisions, and staff is now advancing

[11:44] evaluations of an active canals and recycled water facilities, including a draft for cycle water

[11:49] pipeline evaluation memorandum, and continued refinement of GIS based condition and consequence

[11:54] of failure information. And in parallel, the team is developing the problem of definition report,

[11:59] which will organize and prioritize system needs and potential capital projects for long-term

[12:03] program. For the Skita Master Plan Implementation Project, the focus is on selecting a modern

[12:09] Skita platform that can support Valley Water's operational cybersecurity, alarm management, and long-term

[12:15] life cycle needs. The team is evaluating 10 potential solutions using qualitative criteria,

[12:20] covering system architecture and program programming environment, performance factors such as

[12:25] cybersecurity and alarm management and support conditions, considerations including life cycle

[12:31] cost. So we're also developing standardized questions and testing scenarios for onsite demonstrations

[12:37] for up to four short listed vendors later this year and the approach will haul value water

[12:42] in comparing platforms before selecting the preferred path forward. Then I also have an amendment

[12:47] for this item which I'll cover in a few more later in the meeting.

[12:55] Okay, I'll just follow those.

[12:59] Next one, number six, penitentiary of water treatment plan clear, clear, well, roof improvement.

[13:06] I'll take this.

[13:09] For this project, the planning study report has been approved and finished.

[13:14] And so staff is now moving into the design phase.

[13:20] We're going to start with the developers in design.

[13:22] And so the next report will come in the design area,

[13:27] design permitting area.

[13:31] That's my report.

[13:35] OK.

[13:37] Android's you again.

[13:39] Yes.

[13:40] So for the coyote dams, seismic stability project,

[13:44] we plan on coming to this committee in October

[13:47] to give an update on the remedial alternative's report.

[13:50] And then we anticipate the feasible alternative's report

[13:54] to be completed by the end of this year

[13:56] and then the planning study report completed early 2027.

[14:05] I'd like to schedule a tour of the coyote dam.

[14:10] I know I haven't been there in a while.

[14:12] Come out and show me what you're doing.

[14:13] what's going to happen there. Thank you.

[14:20] Okay.

[14:23] Going to a flip-for-check

[14:26] soon, uh, Solani, we'll start with you. Yeah. Morning, Chair. Now,

[15:03] Showline 3, all of the activity has been on the army course side. They're working to wrap up a study report. If you will, as the committee is aware, they're wrapping up the study with the funding. One that they did not get the approval for the longer study and scope that they had, hope to accomplish. But then on the other side, the good news is the initial assessments, that there would not be damages for it.

[15:30] 30 to 40 years out. So, they are working on the technical documentation. They've already started transitioning

[15:37] all the technical background documentation to our staff that are reviewing all of that documentation

[15:42] and then the final report that is documenting the work done to date.

[15:49] There is also a stakeholder meeting that is being scheduled in September by the Army Corps.

[15:57] It's all the interested business parties and others that were involved over the last decade or so in the visioning and planning process for the shoreline project as well.

[16:06] So they could kind of give an update on the effort to date and where we stand with this project.

[16:13] San Francisco Dio Creek. Actually a lot has happened since we put this on the agenda packet as the

[16:20] code is well-eversed. I think there is probably more more talk about like what value water

[16:25] scroll might be in that project. But for now we continue to be one of the 5 JPA members. So the project

[16:34] path probably is sort of on on hold pending the JPA's decisions.

[16:39] So, yeah, okay, the committee's has questions on this maybe Chief Hakeskin, that's a couple comments.

[16:50] So, the letter from the chair did go out to the SF Creek JPA Board to suggest a working group to talk about Valley of Water at its role moving forward.

[16:58] Right now we are also meeting with Palotto this week to talk about Valley of Water's role and we'll continue to engage discussions and hopefully

[17:07] help as well with the executive director search, we're talking with their acting executive director,

[17:14] whether they need support in that role as well.

[17:17] Okay.

[17:20] Okay.

[17:21] This is the newly approved step.

[17:27] I'm interested in finding out

[17:32] to what extent the financial commitment of valley water is today before we start discussing it with other people.

[17:45] How much money have we made a commitment for now if any and what kind of commitments we made?

[17:54] So right now our Safe Clean Water Program has a lot of about $16 million left for the San Francisco project.

[17:59] If you'd like, we can give you a fact sheet that has what we've expanded to date on both the reach 1 and reach 2 projects.

[18:05] So you can kind of see what the all end costs have been.

[18:07] That is the total we've committed so far.

[18:10] Correct.

[18:11] Still remaining to be.

[18:12] then that contributed to the full phase two.

[18:16] Correct. So basically, the phase two project has been budgeted previously somewhere between

[18:20] 120 and $180 million for construction. Obviously, 16 million is not going to get you there.

[18:27] So it's on the JPA to determine what the cost share will be based on benefits accorded

[18:32] to each county and city. So they're still going through that process right now. And as soon as

[18:38] we get any more information, we'll obviously report out to the committee.

[18:40] So how would we fund a hundred and eighty million dollars worth the project. So we're one member of, you know,

[18:46] we're one of five JPA members, right? It's incumbent on the JPA itself to determine what the cost

[18:52] share allocation would be based on benefit. Sure. Well, our shares through safety and water. We have

[18:57] sixteen million dollars already allocated that's been collected. That's it, all right. For now,

[19:01] unless we agree to commit more. Okay. So if you can give me that, I'm interested in

[19:08] And to what extent we're going to require to put up more money than that.

[19:17] So if there's a tendency for them to just say, OK, now Valley water is going to do it.

[19:23] Now you guys can fund it.

[19:25] So the way that's the burden on us.

[19:27] So I'm kind of.

[19:29] So it would take an act of our board to contribute to additional funds beyond the 16

[19:34] million.

[19:35] So it would go back to the board first before we would make that commitment.

[19:38] As well, the amended agreement for the JPA does allow us not to participate in any capital project we choose not to move forward with.

[19:45] So right now there are no committed activities beyond what we've already allocated in Safe Clean Water.

[19:52] So if there were, you know, they can't unilaterally impose on us to contribute more.

[19:57] Yeah, the Safe Clean Water is one of the boaters.

[20:00] I have to everybody in county and make sure that we understand that if somebody asks for too much, somebody doesn't get it.

[20:13] And that's kind of thing I'd like to know. Like, what are we removing from the budget to fund more money for say this project?

[20:22] understood, and if we get to that point where there's a trade-off, we will come to the board and ask for direction.

[20:30] If I can't just add one comment related to the funding for San Francisco Creek,

[20:37] the JPA has been recognized that it's a project pretty big.

[20:45] construction wise for phase two. So they've been talking about the need for the JPA

[20:53] collectively looking at how to fund this project. So I think it's a well recognized by the

[21:01] JPA that this is not a project that any one single agency can come into fund. It takes five agencies

[21:09] together. So, but there's a lot of detail that needs to be taught. We're taught step one is that

[21:15] we need to know what projects we're funding when I say, wait, it's the JPA. So, that's where

[21:23] everything's are.

[21:27] Okay. Okay, Pavania, thank you. Okay. Okay, Pavania, thank you. Two more. Okay.

[21:30] Acratic resource creation at Ford Pondberg Proclamation Pond, Ford Road Proclamation Pond,

[21:37] This is the new project that just got approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2077 CIP.

[21:45] This project, we just started planning on this project.

[21:50] And we are working towards the planning study reports,

[21:53] a more information will come in the future project task.

[21:56] The ideas that this project will become sort of a credit,

[22:01] if you will, that will kind of work towards other projects that need mitigation.

[22:05] So,

[22:09] and then upper penity.

[22:10] Oh, God.

[22:12] I need to understand this because it's in my district.

[22:15] I need to understand the project.

[22:18] So, if somebody could kind of give me the concept at some point.

[22:22] I appreciate it.

[22:23] Thank you.

[22:24] Shoulder at about.

[22:25] Well, we'll schedule it when we get a little more into the detail of the scoping of it.

[22:30] Thank you.

[22:34] Next project is the upper penitentiary.

[22:36] This project has been on and off our CIPs and the last CIP, the board directed us to focus on the critical

[22:46] to reduce the targeted flood risk in this area. So staff's working on that redefined

[22:52] mission, if you will, updating the planning study report with that goal to reduce the targeted

[22:58] and off-lighting areas.

[23:04] Yeah, go ahead.

[23:05] Ms. I'm having a lot of comments.

[23:08] Okay, this week I went out and looked at

[23:12] one section of it, it's near the Barth Station,

[23:17] which we don't want the parking lot to flood

[23:19] in the Barth Station, you know.

[23:20] So this project will prevent

[23:23] flooding in and around the Barth Station.

[23:27] At, so we did come to that correct?

[23:30] project will help the board station? Is that true?

[23:33] We've not come much further on that. The original project was part of the entire the entire area

[23:44] from King Road onward all the way down to King Road, but the revised scope of it, the exact areas,

[23:52] we've not completed the planning study yet to know which areas will be focused on this first phase,

[23:58] if you will. Okay. So, so I think one thing would help is because you've got bar and you've got

[24:05] King Road. We've got a whole two lane bridge with no walkways or anything right there and it

[24:14] floods all the time. King Road bridge right there.

[24:21] I'm interested in getting an idea of projects

[24:24] that are potentially joint funded with the city and projects and the transit and transit district

[24:36] to protect their facilities but also King Road. We should have a new bridge there,

[24:45] similar to the White Road Bridge near the White Road Bridge down is a good model for

[24:49] what we should do at King Road.

[24:52] And there's also federal and state funds for rich.

[25:00] Got a potential to get other funding bridge putting a bridge over King Road could be a source of funding from the federal state government. So I like, when you're doing your study.

[25:17] be at your library studies, you should look into some of those ideas. I think there's a lot of bridges

[25:25] and stuff around here that there's obvious things we can do to get federal state funds to

[25:34] fund a bridge that would help the flood control projects. So some kind of joint effort.

[25:43] Thank you. We already are working with the city on defying their scope,

[25:48] So their transportation department folks and project managers have already been in touch.

[25:52] So as we are updating it, director Bell, we will be working to figure out their scope as well.

[25:59] Yeah, you can get state money for the city, the city guys have glad you're working with them,

[26:06] but you can get state funds for the bridge projects, and I think this is King Rhodes, one that we could probably get.

[26:21] Thank you. Yes.

[26:25] Oh, that concludes my update.

[26:30] Okay. One more move on to

[26:33] while there's resources to do with

[26:35] your project.

[26:36] Good morning.

[26:37] Thank you.

[26:38] Thank you.

[26:39] I'm happy to report that all three

[26:41] waters of resources to ensure

[26:43] projects have now concluded the planning

[26:44] phase and we'll be reporting out on them

[26:47] during the design phase updates.

[26:49] I also want to note that we will be adding

[26:51] upon 10B planning phase project at the next committee.

[27:01] Okay.

[27:02] Thank you.

[27:03] Yeah, it's good progress to see it's moving to the Disney phase.

[27:08] First of all, that more than half of our

[27:16] climate change action plan relies on the third project for

[27:22] carbon sequestration. We thought to be spotted. Well, I think border half. Yeah, so

[27:31] let's move on with this project. Okay, any questions?

[27:38] Only that that's great news

[27:39] we're moving along. Oh yeah, thank you. Okay,

[27:46] Tony. Happy next one. Oh, good morning, Chair.

[27:50] and member of the committee, Amandeep Sany, Acting Deputy Administrative Officer for General Services,

[27:57] providing update on the security upgrade and enhancement project. Reporting on phase 3 of the project

[28:04] that is currently in planning and feasibility study, staff completed phase 1 and phase 2 is in construction.

[28:11] for the so we will be completing the gap and assessment for the security cameras and blind

[28:22] spots under this phase 3 of the project and we will be after phase 2 is complete. We will

[28:30] be using that assessment to come up with the final scope of phase 3 project so that that effort

[28:37] Please don't worry at this time.

[28:41] Questions?

[28:43] Up to you.

[28:46] Can you say a little bit more about this phase 3,

[28:49] that expansion of the surveillance system?

[28:52] What does it look like?

[28:55] Does it look like those things on TV?

[28:59] so phase 2 is to replace the existing cameras

[29:03] and phase 3 is to

[29:05] And we have the blinds, or sorry, for the final project is how we plan to use it.

[29:19] So is it primarily for the treatment plans, our critical facilities, is it for disbuilding?

[29:28] It's for all of our projects.

[29:31] So the challenge that we face or we're currently facing is that because of the technology

[29:37] and some of the camera systems, until you get them updated to the newest and greatest technology,

[29:43] you really don't know clearly what the newest cameras can show you in terms of blind spots.

[29:48] What we're still missing.

[29:50] So we've already gone through the effort of assessing our current camera system and access controls.

[29:56] We're going to process right now replacing those and the one step is...

[30:02] We're going through a process right now replacing those. And then once that is done, we'll be able to sort of step back again and then display all of that on our security systems again and then see where we're missing. And then that's going to be our next phase of adding additional cameras we're needed. But it's for all of our valid order facilities where there's currently camera or access control.

[30:21] Okay.

[30:25] Okay. Thank you. Questions? Okay.

[30:32] Are there any public comments on item 4.1?

[30:37] This is a budget under feasibility and planning phase.

[30:41] We have no requests to speak, Madam Chair.

[30:46] Okay. And we want to item 4.2.

[30:50] receive that and discuss information regarding the status of capital project in the design and permitting face.

[30:58] Okay. So, uh, well, Star was, uh, email.

[31:04] Um, I'm project one two nine. Yeah.

[31:08] So, for my first project, Kali Pompi plant, uh, wells and activities of placement, stuff, uh,

[31:15] has addressed all the comments they received from the USB-R.

[31:21] On the 95% design package, and they are now preparing the final design documents.

[31:28] Construction activities are anticipated to begin in November, 2020-28.

[31:35] My next project is this on the third of the first main inspection in Rihop.

[31:42] Staff is currently preparing the 100% design and construction is expected to begin January 20, 27.

[31:54] My next project is the Pacheco Santa Clara conduit right away acquisition.

[32:00] Right now we are in easement negotiations with the last three remaining property owners.

[32:06] And when we finish this, then we will enter close-out and then we will transition this project to operations and maintenance.

[32:17] The next project is the persona pump station upgrade.

[32:21] Staff is developing the 60% design documents.

[32:25] Construction is expected somewhere in spring 2030.

[32:29] The next project is the Pernitential Sufferic Acid Extension Project.

[32:35] Staff continues developing the 90% design documents, construction is respected in the summer

[32:41] of 2027.

[32:44] The next project is the Lound Rights for the South County Recycle Water Pipeline.

[32:51] We've completed acquiring easement for the right of way for maintenance to be able to do

[32:56] their work.

[32:57] And so we are currently transitioning to the project to operations and maintenance and will be preparing a project close out to complete by the end of this month or next month.

[33:13] Then, my next project is the Al-Modding Color Canal Rehab.

[33:19] The 100% design and contract documents have been completed in July.

[33:25] Staff is currently working on the SQL document,

[33:29] and we are preparing to consult the regulatory agencies for penalty requirements.

[33:36] One of the things that has come up is the consultation with the Army Corps

[33:42] on what is of the U.S. and so staff is preparing the consultation materials.

[33:52] The next project is there in Canada liquid ammonia sulfate facility.

[33:58] This project is currently on hold due to staff and resource constraints,

[34:03] and we will get staff over Zoom.

[34:06] The next project is the Santa Teresa Amonia Injection Relocation Clearwall by-passed by a solution project.

[34:17] Staff has completed a 30% and the business of design report.

[34:22] As of now, design work has started.

[34:24] Construction is expected to begin somewhere in late 2027.

[34:29] That ends the update on my projects and I'm ready for any questions.

[34:36] Okay, questions for you.

[34:39] Question for you.

[34:42] I have a question regarding the construction schedule.

[34:49] So like the first project looks like we're done, we're pretty close getting design done.

[34:59] Bye.

[35:00] That it just in my mind is like mining design constructions, pretty, is that just continue. So it looks like the design is, at least for these two projects.

[35:13] The design is in progress, getting close to 100%, but then the construction is several years or a couple years after that.

[35:24] Yeah. Let me take one at a time. For the first one, the Cayeri Pompi plant, we are still

[35:31] due to do sequa and napa, because it's a federal facility.

[35:41] And we stuff is not, have not started

[35:44] preparing all those documents and so staff is not really sure whether we would do the construction

[35:54] before 2028 and that's why you see an estimated date of November 2028. On the Vassona

[36:04] pump station the staff is still at 60% and there are so many things which are coming into play

[36:11] And the shutdowns for the treatment plants have to be coordinated.

[36:20] And so right now, the coordination, their linkages with the project that we're doing at Penitentiar.

[36:30] And if we are not to keep a schedule at Penitentiar, it pushes some of these projects out.

[36:38] And so right now, the estimated date is 2030, but it will change depending on the linkages that I just spoke about.

[36:51] If we finish a penitentiary on time, then the other treatment plants can also be shut down.

[36:59] And then persona pump might move forward, but if we don't, then we're looking at the 2030.

[37:07] Okay, thank you. Thank you very much.

[37:10] I think these are good examples.

[37:12] I think I love that.

[37:14] But they're good examples showing that

[37:18] the quality of today is really one system.

[37:21] Even though it's large complex, they look very different.

[37:26] But they're just one system.

[37:28] If you do a little thing here, you have to be coordinating with

[37:31] many other things in other facilities.

[37:34] Yeah, so thank you very much for that explanation.

[37:37] and we'll move on to Guadalupe Dam.

[37:41] Yes, me again.

[37:43] So for the Guadalupe Dam seismic retrofit project,

[37:46] a couple key items of notes,

[37:48] 60% design plans and specs for the rehabilitation of the intake riser pipe.

[37:53] We're submitted DSAD earlier this year,

[37:55] and comments were received in April.

[37:57] So the design team is working on completion of the 90% design package.

[38:02] We state here that we're expecting

[38:04] the construction for that will commence in 2028. However, we are working with the CIP team

[38:10] to see if we can deliver that project as a small caps project. And based on the updated

[38:16] timeline of design, it is possible we're hoping that we can start construction that had some time

[38:20] in 2027. And then for the actual package A, so the embankment work for Guadalupe, the design is

[38:29] still moving forward and so no major updates there. We did also get a chance to talk to DSOD last week

[38:37] about Guadalupe and update on sort of everything related to Guadalupe, Almadin, Colero. So I'll talk a

[38:43] little bit more about that once I get down to Colero. For Almadin, no major change, except for design

[38:49] is still ongoing and construction is scheduled to commence in 2020, 2030. Excuse me,

[38:56] For the Pacheco Reservoir Expansion Project, the plan still is for staff to get everything in line to remove any remaining equipment by this fall.

[39:06] So we're still working on closing out that project.

[39:10] And then finally, for the Clareau Dampsizer Retrofit Project, we did submit the 50% design package to DSOD and received comments in May.

[39:18] So our engineer is working on the 90% design package.

[40:00] So we are evaluating the procurement team, the use of CMGC for collateral. So with that, there is a little bit of an expected schedule shift, likely that we're working through with our team. So we did discuss with the SOD, what that may do to our delivery schedule.

[40:17] As we see here, a construction of packages anticipated to begin in summer of 2028, but that was assuming designed to build a not CMGC. So we're working with outside council internally as well.

[40:28] with the SOD to look at their review timelines as well, and we did propose to them a revised

[40:33] schedule of what that might look like. So before the meeting through the chair we were discussing

[40:38] giving an update on the dam seismic, the overall program schedule, likely in October when we

[40:43] have date on coyote. That's a good idea. Thank you. Questions? Are you for the Guadalupe

[40:53] Dammer? Are you still gouging a hillside for the dirt you need? You know, I'm an

[41:02] quick silver park right next to the dam, right next to the reservoir.

[41:11] The the

[41:12] to expand on? Yes, the answer is yes. Yeah. How much? How much? How much? How much? How many

[41:17] cubic yards? Off the top of my head. I don't know the number of the total cubic yards. All right.

[41:26] Yeah, that's going to be sensitive. Okay. I'm just saying people go up there and they walk

[41:32] and they find out that you're grabbing some of the, you're grabbing some of the hillside

[41:40] whether it's nice trees, the trail, next to the reservoir,

[41:45] and that's, yeah, we understand a little bit sensitive.

[41:48] And I think anything we could do to mitigate that

[41:52] or reduce that, they would help.

[41:55] Understand, maybe create a new

[42:00] smooth that over and create it.

[42:03] So it looks acceptable to the community there or so.

[42:09] That's going to be an environmental inspector going to have to hear a lot of people coming about.

[42:15] Yeah, and I think we can discuss more when we talk about the overall schedule.

[42:18] We are considering the sensitivities of Guadalupe and the impacts and what that may mean for project delivery.

[42:24] Now, you can't drive trucks up there to dump dirt from up the ill, right up the guppy mind's road.

[42:32] Not currently, they'll have to be some substantial work to make that feasible.

[42:38] So we can't get dirt from somewhere else.

[42:45] Is that asking?

[42:48] All right.

[42:49] Well, that's an issue.

[42:51] I already heard about that.

[42:53] I hear about every once in a while, so it'll come up to me.

[42:56] Talk about that.

[42:59] Okay.

[42:59] Thank you.

[43:01] Questions?

[43:02] No.

[43:03] Yeah.

[43:03] Okay.

[43:04] So yeah, I think it's a good idea that we have our overall.

[43:09] Um, I believe that's, uh, so that we can all make connections that of, uh, of, of these things.

[43:16] So thank you. Okay. Uh, Ryan. Yes, good morning committee, Ryan McCarter, deputy operating officer,

[43:23] dam safety and capital delivery division. So the Anderson dam seismic retrofit project,

[43:28] as we know, came to the board for award to the contractor on July 24th, just a few weeks ago.

[43:33] This past Friday, we issued notice to proceed one to the contractor. So they can start with

[43:38] their submittals and kind of the administrative work to prepare for construction

[43:41] starting in January, 2027. So lots of exciting news there and so we're permitted and

[43:48] designed. So I think we'll move this update to the construction phase updates moving forward.

[43:52] Great to be

[43:55] able to help you out for me. I think that's all you have for me.

[44:03] Okay, questions for

[44:09] Next slide is what you did that you did already so yeah so I don't think we need to repeat it.

[44:22] Do you need another hosting earlier in his briefing that he talked about this project also?

[44:31] the pure, the Silicon Valley demonstration facility project also. So I don't think we need to repeat that.

[44:40] Is that okay? This one. So there's a we're on number 15 pure water silicon valley demonstration

[44:46] facility project. And earlier in who thinks briefing about the larger project, he included this,

[44:55] that's what I'm ready. Yeah, so we don't need to do that. Okay.

[45:00] This is also issued to the contract or the first notice to proceed, I should say. We continue to work on the land rights for the project. There is quite a few that are still remaining, including negotiations and some in an imminent domain proceedings as well. So this will be the last update under the design category for this project will be moving to construction updates. We will continue to update on the right away efforts as well as part of that update update.

[45:24] The next category of projects is the watershed asset rehabilitation program.

[45:29] Three projects, two of them active.

[45:30] The first one is the slope and bank repair on Guadalupe River.

[45:34] We're pretty much done with the design package.

[45:36] We're working through with the permitting agencies on the permit for this project.

[45:44] And then the CPA as well for the project for these slope and bank repairs.

[45:51] Saratoga Creek top structure, we literally just started this. The project just got moved on to

[45:57] as getting the information from the asset management team and the project is just looking at

[46:03] some alternatives for the design efforts on this one. Getting started on the 35% design package.

[46:10] Lower penitentiary erosion. After a site visit this project was deemed to be a little bit of a lower priority.

[46:17] there are two banks. The one bank that is owned by the, I believe it is the East that is owned

[46:23] by the city of Melbyters. We've had conversations with them. That's the one that perhaps needs

[46:30] a little more of the stabilization but for now we've kind of notified them and then we put this on

[46:37] the back burner and the system is in design and we'll revisit this when the city wants to pick it up

[46:45] do something or we feel like the conditions one and does to pick it up.

[46:50] So the shoreline phase one project reach one to three.

[46:55] There are actually one more element that is in design.

[46:59] That is the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge closure structure.

[47:04] The Army Corps of Engineers is negotiating a design consultant contract that they're working

[47:09] through.

[47:10] And then on the reach four five design, the next set of big updates, you're expecting probably

[47:15] more towards the end of this calendar year when they'll give us the update of these scope

[47:21] alternators as well as the construction costs of the reaches four and five.

[47:29] Lower guard restoration, this is now transitioning to be more of a treat-o-mobile capacity enhancements

[47:35] scope that we're making use of an emergency order that we can take care of at least the bed

[47:41] and the disease trees and we just issue the PO for this project so we'll be starting

[47:46] work on that very soon.

[47:50] Sunnyvale East West. Good progress has been made on this project. We had to redesign the bridge on

[47:57] Caribbean Drive as the committee may recall. So we just got the 65% design package from

[48:03] the consulting team and the subject matter expert review continues on that design package.

[48:10] We're also working very actively with the city. We have several permits that are agreements that

[48:15] we're working with them, joint use agreements,

[48:18] cashier agreements with their facility,

[48:22] wastewater facility, bottom all,

[48:25] as well as owner agreements, trade closures,

[48:29] and detour plans.

[48:31] We are anticipating the project to be brought to the board

[48:34] early next year for seeking approval to put it out on the street for beds.

[48:41] Various acrylic, this is the mitigation planting project

[48:44] for a long, long-standing, very secrete flat protection project.

[48:51] We did receive the bids, the bids did come in a bit high,

[48:55] so we will be bringing this forward to the board

[48:57] with the justification to move forward

[49:00] for a warning, the project, because we feel.

[49:03] We believe that this is now the option time

[49:08] to avoid it, as well as just the conditions

[49:11] that we have in the project initially required that level of effort that we perhaps missed in the

[49:19] engineering assessment.

[49:28] In the Guadalupe River projects, the staff has made some good

[49:30] progress on figuring out alternatives for proceeding on two concurrent plants. One is to continue

[49:37] with what is called a session two or three study with the Army Corps of Engineers. Actually staff

[49:42] has attended the training that Army Corps is now doing countrywide offering all over the country

[49:48] for encouraging non-fatal sponsors to take up Section 2 or 3 process where the non-fatal

[49:54] sponsors take the lead and complete these studies in the Alternative Studies and then.

[50:00] Let's see to get approval for construction design construction funding in partnership with the Army Corps.

[50:07] So, we've attended that training. Some of us will be attending that training in next month in so-called.

[50:13] We couldn't attend the first one. So, we're continuing on that process.

[50:18] And then we'll also be working on a letter to just kind of,

[50:24] broadcast our intent to the headquarters for pursuing a two or three for this project and then the second effort which is the local funded project focused on reducing the flood risk for this project.

[50:37] That effort of study is continuing with the design consultants that we actually have a consultant that is doing the alternative assessment for that focused flood risk efforts

[50:52] that can sort of be built on for the largest air project in partnership with the Army Corps.

[50:58] So we're hoping to bring forward alternatives for that in spring of 2027.

[51:08] And that's all I have on now one. And then the Redner Creek Rehab project.

[51:11] This is another project that came out of our asset management team, staffs now completed the planning study report.

[51:18] So the draft is now being reviewed and subject matter expert evaluation review of the

[51:25] We do have some concepts of design, but then we're just updating the planning study report to make sure that each of the elements of the design are evaluated and then pick it, pick up the 60% design that the asset management team had recommended to move forward.

[51:48] questions for Giovanni.

[51:54] I have a quick question. This Sarah told the quick drop structure we have project. Where is it?

[52:04] Sarah told the quick drop structure.

[52:09] This project just moved over part of me.

[52:16] I don't have

[52:18] information on it because it just moved over to our location, but yeah. I was just wondering whether

[52:26] it's the drop structure I designed when I was a sister. Oh, it's been probably a few decades.

[52:36] I, I'm sorry, I don't have that information because I actually have no talking points on

[52:40] a set of all because it just moved over to our section at the beginning of the fiscal year.

[52:45] Relative in you, right? It's the first time. Yeah, this is the July first was the fiscal year.

[52:49] we had funding assigned self, staff just picked it up.

[52:54] The other question is, can you say a little bit more about this?

[53:00] So we are redesigning the bridge, the bridge,

[53:05] on some of your use channel,

[53:08] and because of the health trends,

[53:10] latest health trend requirements,

[53:14] as well as to comply with your technical finding.

[53:17] So, it does counter and requirement, is it for every bridge? Is it a special condition that needs, so what does that mean?

[53:30] Does that mean that from this point on no more box covers, everything has to be single span, pre-sures, concrete bridge?

[53:40] Okay, I just, I'm not, so I want to understand a little bit better.

[53:44] I can get our structural team to, in fact, I think, I don't know that Robert is on the thing.

[53:51] But so there were two things.

[53:53] The geotechnical engineer's recommendation was also the recommendation to, for settling to go with a single span bridge.

[54:02] However, at that time, I think way back the decision was made to go, because if some design skill sets, if you will,

[54:09] The settling is what came back as beyond the requirements, so my understanding it's an inch or inch and a half, but our updated geotech evaluation exceeded that and see more than anything city of Sunnywell follows the Cal Transstandards for their bridge and this is the bridge that they will be taking over for maintenance.

[54:31] So that was the recommendation both from and from the geotech engineer to update from a geotech perspective. And then the structural

[54:41] recommendation from BCA who did the QICC of the design package to update the bridge to us in the span bridge.

[54:50] So I just want to understand that is it driven by the geotechnical finding or is it driven by

[54:57] Caltering requirement and if it's Caltering.

[55:00] Parliament, is it because the Caribbean drive bridge sits under whatever part here that needs to go there, or is it a pretty broad requirement that's affecting other bridges too.

[55:18] So if you can't give me that, I can follow up on that.

[55:21] I understand that we have to do what we have to do, and then we're already in the process of

[55:27] there's only this single-spam pre-stressed, but yeah, just takes on the noise. There's

[55:35] other impacts to other bridges, right? Yeah, the Bell has a question.

[55:42] Yes, sir.

[55:43] Caltrance has a bridge standards manual.

[55:47] Right.

[55:48] That gives all the details of what, if they are involved in funding the bridge, you have

[55:54] to meet the bridge standards manual.

[55:57] They are not involved in the funding of the bridge, but the city of Sunnyvale differs

[56:01] two Caltrance standards for all of their bridges.

[56:04] Yes.

[56:04] Say that's their standard.

[56:06] Yeah.

[56:06] We, in general, we follow Celtic design standards, whether it's a set concrete potential, or whatever.

[56:14] It's just, what they have box covered, a hot standard, also.

[56:18] I just want, I just want to make sure that this requirement, this is not a universe,

[56:22] or then from this point, only this kind of bridge design.

[56:26] But anyway, just give me a...

[56:28] I can get to that.

[56:29] I know Robert was here last week to, to answer those questions, but he is not today.

[56:35] And I can get that to you and I have the location from our staff. It's between Murdoch Park and Bolinja Road.

[56:43] I Jason Tolorans, so I do not.

[56:48] Yeah, I have been through my sister did that. That's what heard.

[56:51] Oh, you mean the start of the field bridges?

[56:54] You mean the start of the bridge.

[56:55] The start of the bridge.

[56:56] The start of the drop structure.

[56:58] Yeah.

[56:59] You told me, should you kept telling me you have to have a three and a half foot clearance from the high level of water to the bottom of the bridge?

[57:10] Oh.

[57:10] That's to give me a hard time about that.

[57:14] Okay.

[57:15] I don't know why, but.

[57:17] Okay.

[57:18] She likes to give me a hard time.

[57:20] Okay.

[57:20] The younger sister.

[57:27] Okay.

[57:27] I can get to the details on the ashto sanders and the counter.

[57:31] Not at all.

[57:32] Are you getting the way?

[57:33] All right.

[57:33] Thank you.

[57:35] We'll be on to Lisa.

[57:37] The pound day for resilient.

[57:39] Thank you, Lisa.

[57:40] Thank you.

[57:41] I did just look up that that drop structure plans are from 1961.

[57:46] Okay.

[57:47] I'm not dead.

[57:51] For pound day four, also some good news there.

[57:54] we have finally completed the contracting process with good fellow brothers. So this is the large

[57:59] civil construction firm that will be providing clean fill to create the mud flat at Ponta4.

[58:05] And so we have heard rumors that they're hoping to sign a contract for approximately 100,000

[58:13] cubic yards of fill. It hasn't quite gone through its full testing process yet, so fingers crossed

[58:18] that will be clean enough. And we can get started with that project this fall.

[58:23] That's really, this is really a win-win. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's not too weird.

[58:27] And then I wanted to give a quick update on the three projects that I mentioned,

[58:31] we're moving to design. Yeah, they hadn't yet made it into this form, but

[58:36] for the Muffet drop structure, so this is the fish ladder at the Muffet drop structure,

[58:42] that has moved into design phase and actually, well, we'll have to add that to the

[58:48] on these lists moving forward.

[58:51] And then, so the design is already proceeding on that project.

[58:55] And then for OASER, so OASER, as you know,

[59:00] is the conservation measure for Anderson,

[59:03] we will need to do a little bit more sequa in order

[59:09] to, for the board to approve the staff recommended

[59:12] alternative, which is not the alternative that was approved

[59:17] as part of ADSRPAR. And so we've got some process there looking at probably one year from now

[59:24] that we'll have to recirculate in EIR to be able to proceed with OJAR.

[59:30] And then for Cal SDA, the Creek Marsh Connection Project. So that we're just kind of tying up

[1:00:00] And we'll be preparing an RFP for the design phase consulted.

[1:00:07] question, no question. Okay, thank you. Okay, the last one had called our operations building.

[1:00:16] Amadeep? Yes. All right. The meeting members, Amadeep, San Indep, the acting depot for General Services.

[1:00:24] And on the headquarters operations building, we are at the 60% design with the anticipated schedule of completion of design end of this year.

[1:00:35] And October that will go for permits and construction starts around summer.

[1:00:40] If we get all those permits in place by that time.

[1:00:45] That's that's the update on this part.

[1:00:46] Permade is from City of San Jose, okay, no regulatory agencies, so I'm not, okay, okay.

[1:00:56] Questions for? Okay. Okay.

[1:01:02] Other any public comment or item 4.2 that's part of your under design phase?

[1:01:08] We have no request to speak, Madam Chair.

[1:01:10] We'll be on to Island 4.3, we see information in our upcoming consult and agreement amendments for capital project.

[1:01:19] I think we have one.

[1:01:21] Yeah.

[1:01:21] I'm going to talk about that.

[1:01:23] This is for the Skata, a master plan implementation project.

[1:01:25] So the amendment of data consultant scope to reflect the revised platform selection approach.

[1:01:30] And the work needed to complete implementation standards, update the preliminary project definition report,

[1:01:35] support early project level environmental review and continue project management.

[1:01:41] We removed the scope for program level environmental impact report and the staff evaluation.

[1:01:46] And instead we will be using project description checklists and project level environmental reviews to support the future capital projects.

[1:01:54] As I become more clearly defined.

[1:01:57] And the amendment increases the not to exceed amount by 526,000 from approximately 3 million to 3.5 and it extends the agreement expiration date by 1 year to 2028.

[1:02:10] And in short, the amendment allows the contract with the revised Skata platform selection process and provides a specialized support needed to complete the planning and early environmental work for the future Skata capital program.

[1:02:24] Thank you questions for Bavali.

[1:02:27] Thank you very much.

[1:02:28] No questions?

[1:02:30] Okay.

[1:02:33] Okay.

[1:02:34] No questions?

[1:02:36] Are there any public comment or either the full point?

[1:02:38] Just let us justage comment.

[1:02:40] When we do these consultant contracts, when to make sure that public, you know,

[1:02:47] and they have a public hearing, they can come and explain things to the public.

[1:02:55] I'm not understanding it, so this is going to the board, it's coming to the committee first, but then it is to go to the full board and then how the public will participate in the board meeting.

[1:03:07] I was saying when we have consultants are doing consulting work for us and then working on a project that we want to make sure the consultants able to go to the community meetings and so forth.

[1:03:22] to do participate in the presentation.

[1:03:25] Okay.

[1:03:25] That's all.

[1:03:26] Yeah.

[1:03:28] They do.

[1:03:29] That's included in the contract.

[1:03:30] Yes.

[1:03:31] It's included in the contract.

[1:03:32] And we're planning to go to the board on the 22nd of September for this amendment.

[1:03:37] But when as a project's become more defined and we present the Plenty State Report, we'll

[1:03:42] be having community meetings.

[1:03:44] Yeah.

[1:03:44] Oh, we need to meet.

[1:03:46] Yeah.

[1:03:47] What you was?

[1:03:48] Okay.

[1:03:48] You don't need this committee's action for the four meeting.

[1:03:54] Do you? Okay. No.

[1:03:57] So now I'm asking, are there any public comments related to this item?

[1:04:01] Item 4.3.

[1:04:03] We have no requests to speak, Madam Chair.

[1:04:05] Thank you.

[1:04:07] Okay.

[1:04:11] And moving on to item 4.4,

[1:04:13] We see information on changelters to end us in damn tunnel project, construction and contract.

[1:04:21] Right.

[1:04:21] Yes, good afternoon, Ryan MacArthur again.

[1:04:24] So we do have change order number 67 to present today.

[1:04:27] This is for escalation for bad nays, trenchal services.

[1:04:31] They did the micro tunnel portion of the project and the lake tap.

[1:04:35] So they submitted a claim, essentially, for $1.3 million, well over a year ago,

[1:04:41] and our team went back and forth for quite some time and got that down to $108,000, so that was a pretty good negotiation on our end there.

[1:04:50] So just a good example of how our team really looks at the costs or the costs and takes the merit into consideration there.

[1:04:57] So that one came in at $108,000.

[1:04:59] And then down.

[1:05:00] A table, noted there, numbers one and two. So, one of them was just a slight change in the final cost. Once that change order was executed for number 62 and then 64 and 65 kind of switched the numbering. So, just kind of changing the administrative pieces of that table, just to document that. And those are shown with asterisk on the table itself.

[1:05:23] And then looking at the table with all pending change orders, there's 2.85 million left in the contingency currently and we are negotiating a few more small change orders actually we're trying to package up several small change orders into one change order package to kind of save on the administrative time and then negotiations for each of those. So moving right ahead and looking to complete construction on this project here in the next few months.

[1:05:50] Next few months. Okay. Questions for Ryan? Questions for one? Okay.

[1:06:00] Thank you. Thank you for

[1:06:02] staff's villages on me working with the contractor on this change orders. No, it's not.

[1:06:09] It's not easy. It takes a lot of negotiation. I can vote. Are there any public comment on

[1:06:17] them 4.4? We have no request to speak, Madam Chair.

[1:06:23] Okay, sure.

[1:06:29] We'll move on to item 4.5, review 2020-26 kept on moving program

[1:06:34] how media work plan. So, as usual, our work plan is on the last page of the

[1:06:40] package. Earlier, doing the staff presentation, there's a discussion that one staff

[1:06:51] come back for this is under the second category. The last item, coyotes, dams, seismic stability

[1:06:59] project, alternative update that's planned for next month's September. So there's a plan that

[1:07:11] to expand this presentation to include a more complete program, including all the project

[1:07:27] and then where we're going and then the schedule.

[1:07:31] So that will be added to our work plan.

[1:07:34] other than that, or there anything that coming in member wants to see to be added to the

[1:07:42] award plan,

[1:07:46] and very soon we're starting the CFP development process already, it seems like

[1:07:53] we just did it about to let my call. If there's no more suggestions, that will be our work plan,

[1:08:06] Okay, are there any public comment on our work plan?

[1:08:10] We have no requests to speak, Madam Chair.

[1:08:17] And item 4.5 review.

[1:08:20] No, I'm sorry.

[1:08:22] Item 5.

[1:08:23] Clerk review and clarification of community requests.

[1:08:27] Thank you, Madam Chair.

[1:08:28] I don't have any formal requests to know, but I do have a couple of notes here.

[1:08:32] on item 4.1 director Velver requested toward the coyote dam, and I also have what you just noted

[1:08:38] on the work plan item, the expansion of the presentation schedule that I believe you said for

[1:08:42] next month's meeting, is that correct? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. As a part of the coyote creek,

[1:08:48] coyote reservoir. Oh yeah. That's the expansion of October on the work plan.

[1:08:57] So it's expansion of the presentation coming in October. Yeah, what did that say?

[1:09:02] Next month, which would be September, but it's starting for October.

[1:09:08] Yeah, it's October. Next month's September is the face implementation projects.

[1:09:17] And that concludes my list.
