VIDEO. From the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) meeting on Monday, July 8th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
FULL AGENDA ITEM: Authorize General Manager to Issue Request for Proposals (RFP) to Shortlisted Progressive Design Build Team for Design and Construction of the SAM’s Intertie Pipeline System (IPS) Line Located in Montara.
Background and Discussion/Report
SAM’s FMM (Force Main at Montara) has been in continuous service for more than 40 years and has approached the end of its useful life.
There has been a series of failures in the FMM, interrupting service and leading to sanitary sewer overflows (SSO’s) in recent years.
In February 2024, SAM Board of Directors approved a plan for replacement of the FMM utilizing a Progressive Design Build (PDB) approach with the goal of completing the FMM replacement by June 30, 2026, court ordered deadline.
The proposed project will replace the remaining ductile iron pipeline (DIP) portion of the pipeline with 13,395 feet of new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) DR 11 pipe installed parallel to the existing DIP within SAM’s easements and will have a similar diameter to maintain the FMM’s hydraulic capacity.
At its February 12, 2024, meeting, SAM Board of Directors authorized staff to issue Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQ’s) from prospective PDB’s.

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.
