Workshop
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: March 28, 2006
Subject: Consideration of an Agreement with 267 Partners regarding Construction
of a Water Pipeline at the Intersection of Brockway Rd. & Martis Valley Rd.
1. Why this matter is before the board:
Board Authorization is required for expenditures in excess of $15,000.
2. History:
There is an existing 14-inch pipeline located on the north side of Brockway Way at the intersection
with Martis Valley Road. There is an existing 8-inch pipeline located on the south side of Brockway
Way at the same intersection.
3. New information:
267 Partners is constructing a project on the northwest corner of Brockway Way & Martis Valley
Road. This project contains both commercial and residential components and is known as 'The
Rock"and"Ponderosa Greens."
As a condition of project approval by the Town of Truckee, 267 Partners is required to construct a
roundabout at the intersection of Brockway Way & Martis Valley Road. The design of this
roundabout is essentially complete and roundabout will be constructed this summer.
The Water Department has identified the need interconnect the two existing pipelines at this location
in order to increase reliability and lower excessive system pressures in the eastern portion of the
Sierra Meadows subdivision.
I have been in discussions with the design engineer for the roundabout and they have agreed to
include the water pipeline work in the design drawings and list it as a separate item on the Bid
Schedule for the project. I have also considered have the District hire a contractor to perform this
work in May 2006, prior to construction of the roundabout. Using the roundabout contractor to
perform this work would be advantageous for a number of reasons:
• Traffic control will be handled as part of the overall project
• Pavement repair will not be required that is part of the overall project
• A potential conflict with the new storm drainpipes will be avoided
The Town will be contributing some money from traffic mitigation fees (AB 1600) towards the project.
The developer is required to receive at least three bids in order for the project to be eligible for these
funds.

matter to the Board for final approval.
