RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL
Staff recommends that City Council:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the Recycled Water Systems Evaluation Update Professional Services Agreement with Woodard and Curran Inc., and authorizing the City Manager to execute it; and
2. Adopt an ordinance approving a budget adjustment of $330,000 from available resources in the Wastewater Rehabilitation Fund to fully fund the project.

BACKGROUND
The City of Roseville owns and operates a recycled water system supplied with Title 22 disinfected tertiary recycled water from both of the City’s Dry Creek and Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plants. The City supplies nearly 3,800 acre-feet of recycled water for irrigation and industrial cooling purposes to about 200 connections both inside and outside of the City boundary. This includes four golf courses and the Roseville Energy Park.
The engineering consultant, Woodard and Curran (previously RMC Water), created the original Recycled Water Systems Evaluation and updated it in 2016. Quickly-developing areas inside and outside of the City of Roseville, in conjunction with ongoing drought pressure, has created the need to update the Systems Evaluation from 2016. This update will allow for adjustments and updates to planned demands and needed infrastructure necessary to serve them.
Staff recommends to enter into a sole source professional services agreement with Woodard and Curran due to their intimate knowledge of the City’s current and planned recycled water system, as well as the value provided in previous iterations of the Recycled Water Systems Evaluation. The proposed scope and fee in the agreement has been reviewed by City staff. City staff feels it is appropriate and reflects an accurate level of effort for this study.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of $330,000 for this study will be funded by available resources in the Wastewater Rehabilitation Fund. This amount will fund the agreement with Woodard and Curran ($300,000) and City staff labor expenses ($30,000).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project involves basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. This activity is categorically exempt from CEQA as a Class 6 Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15306). The Exemption has been prepared and no further CEQA action is required.
