Reimbursement Agreement to DJM Capital Partners, Inc. for
Reconstruction of a City Water Main on Via Oporto
Staff is requesting to enter into a reimbursement agreement with DJM Capital Partners, Inc.
(Owner) for a portion of the total cost to reconstruct a City water main on Via Oporto as part
of the Lido Marina Village Renovation project.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Direct Staff to enter into a Reimbursement Agreement, as approved to form by the City
Attorney, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00 with DJM Capital Partners, Inc. for the
reconstruction of a portion of the City's water main along Via Oporto adjacent to the Lido
Marina Village Renovation project which is beyond the required scope of the project. The
payment of said water main reconstruction cost will be from the Water Enterprise Fund.
b) Authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the necessary Reimbursement
Agreement with DJM Capital Partners, Inc. and the City Manager to approve and make any
related reimbursement payments for said water main reconstruction work.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
Funding is available in the Water Enterprise Fund to fund the reimbursement amount not to
exceed $150,000.00 for the reconstruction of a 6 -inch water main, valves and services.
DISCUSSION:
The owner of Lido Marina Village is undertaking a large renovation project, upgrading
storefronts providing new pedestrian walkways, seating areas, landscaping and
reconstructing portions of Via Oporto along the project frontage. The water main along Via
Oporto, Between Central Avenue and Via Lido is approximately 725 feet long. As part of the
Lido Marina Village Renovation Project, the developer is required to relocate approximately
325 feet of the existing 6 -inch cast iron water main within a 4 foot wide utility easement
adjacent to Via Oporto. Due to the age of the existing 6 -inch water main (installed in 1930),
staff recommends that the remaining approximately 400 feet of 6 -inch water main be
replaced concurrently with required water main relocation work prior to the new street
pavement and site improvements being installed by the developer. The developer is working
cooperatively with City Staff regarding the design and proposed reconstruction of the water
main. The exact reimbursement cost for the work has not been determined at this point, but
reimbursement authority shall not exceed $150,000.00 which should be sufficient to cover the
design and reconstruction cost of the remaining portion of the water main, valves and water
services.
Staff believes that as the developer is currently reconstructing portions of Via Oporto as part
of their renovation project, it is an opportune time to replace the existing water main along Via
Oporto. Staff recommends that the City Council approve staff to enter into a reimbursement
agreement with the owner for the reconstruction of the portion of the water main that is not
required as part of the renovation project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities Class 1) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to
have a significant effect on the environment.
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
