Agenda Item 4G: Authorize General Manager to Advertise for Progressive Design and Build of Montara Force Main
The purpose of this report is to authorize General Manager to advertise and award contract for progressive design and build of Montara Force Main in the event that the Mid-Year Budget Amendment is not resolved in the next two weeks. Note that pursuing this option could result in SAM not meeting the December 31, 2024, ERF consent decree deadline for completion of design of the Montara Force Main replacement but will be able to meet the final deadline of the ERF consent decree to complete replacement of the entire Montara Force Main by June 30, 2026.
Background and Discussion/Report
On January 1, 2023, the 12-inch-diameter Montara Force Main (MFM) suffered a structural failure and leak resulting in a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO). The MFM was initially constructed of ductile iron pipe (DIP) in 1979 and exhibits severe deterioration along the invert caused by abrasion and cavitation. Portions of the MFM have already been replaced in 2017 and 2023.

SAM Directors
SAM is a joint powers authority (JPA) created by its three member agencies: City of Half Moon Bay (City), Granada Community Services District (GCSD), and the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD).
The JPA is a separate, independent, public agency created by the member agencies to perform functions and share powers common to the member agencies. Those powers are outlined in a joint exercise of powers agreement (Agreement). The Agreement creating SAM can be found on the Documents page.
Each Agreement identifies how the independent agency will be governed. In the case of SAM, each member agency appoints two members from its governing board to represent it on the SAM Board of Directors, for a total of six directors.
The Agreement also establishes the weight of each director’s vote. The vote by each representatives from the City is given the weight of two votes. The vote by each representative from GCSD and MWSD is given the weight of one vote. The total number of possible votes is eight. A quorum is a minimum of five votes and resolutions require at least six votes to pass.
