Who Should Pay For Construction of SAM Wet Weather Storage Expansion Project?

The total fiscal impact of awarding the construction contract to the apparent low bidder is $1,298,600. Of this total, $700,000 was included in the FY 2018-19 budget, along with an additional $300,000, one-half of the negotiated administrative civil liability that was suspended by the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) on the condition that SAM proceed with the Wet Weather Storage Expansion Project as an Enhanced Compliance Action; the balance of $298,600 in additional construction costs will need to be provided by the Member Agencies and affirmed by a mid-year budget adjustment.
