CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject: Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council Authorizing a Grant of Non-Exclusive
Easement to San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District for Baseline Feeder South Pipeline
and appurtenant facilities on city owned property located north of Dumas Street and west of
Washington Avenue, San Bernardino, CA (APN 0136-441-16 and 0136-441-18).
Background: San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) is installing a 78"
water transmission pipeline called the Baseline Feeder South and is requesting an easement
across city owned property. A portion of the line is adjacent to city owned property that is
dedicated for Water Department use. The parcels of land are located south of Orange Show
Road, west of Washington Street, and North of Dumas Street. The property was acquired for
future tertiary treatment facilities for the Water Reclamation Facility.
The placement of the 78" transmission pipeline west of Washington Street along Dumas Street is
difficult because of other existing utilities currently in place. The best alignment of the new
pipeline is on the north side of Dumas Street and within the southerly 16 feet of city owned
property extending a distance of 236.5 feet easterly from Washington Street. The Water
Department will be utilizing conveyance capacity within this new transmission pipeline and staff
is working with representatives of San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District on a
coordinated operating agreement wherein we would operate the facility for the district.
The proposed alignment and easement will provide benefit to the department and will not
interfere with the future development of the property.
Financial Impact: None
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution
