GOODRICH AEROSPACE, AEROSTRUCTURES GROUP, THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED PORT DISTRICT AND BFGW GROUP, llC FOR SERVICES RElATED TO GROUNDWATER BASIN REDESIGNATION; AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE SAME SUBMITTED BY: '.mm"', 0..".","", O;,~'"' ~ REVIEWED BY: Executive Directo~ ~ -- (4/5ths Vote: Yes- NoJl) BACKGROUND: Agency Resolution 1546, approved on July 22, 1997, authorized the execution of a cost sharing agreement for purposes of retaining a consultant to coordinate and prepare an application to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to remove the beneficial use designation from the groundwater basin in the area of the Chula Vista Bayfront. Additional support services are required that are beyond the original scope of the consultant agreement, necessitating a change order to that agreement. RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency adopt a resolution approving a Change Order to the Cost Sharing Agreement by and between the Redevelopment Agency, B.F. Goodrich Aerospace, Aerostructures Group, the San Diego Unified Port District and BFGW Group, llC for services related to groundwater basin redesignation; and Authorizing Executive Director to execute same. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this action. However, the Economic Development Commission, in their meeting of April 1, voted unanimously to support the Agency in the redesignation efforts. DISCUSSION: The Agency, B.F. Goodrich and the Port are mutual beneficiaries of the proposed redesignation action. The specific economic benefits accruing to each entity are not easily defined. Therefore, the cost sharing agreement split the costs for consulting services related to the redesignation on an equal basis, The Change Order proposes to split costs in the same manner. The Agency is asked to shared $10,000 of the $30,000 change order. ~ -I -. _.- Page 2, Item 3 Meeting Date 05/05/98 The Bayfront area is currently designated by the RWaCB for "beneficial" groundwater uses (domestic, agricultural or industrial). This means that water quality protection standards are sufficiently stringent to guarantee that groundwater will be safe for drinking. However, in this area, salt content in the groundwater is too high for the water to be useable as a drinking water source, Since groundwater quality in the subject area is naturally below drinking water standards and always will be because of bay water intrusion, it is reasonable to support removal of the beneficial use designation, The proposed action would benefit redevelopment efforts by removing a perceptual hurdle to development. Because of long term industrial uses in the bayfront area, there is reasonable suspicion that soil and/or groundwater contamination may exist in the area. In light of this suspicion, a potential developer may perceive that redevelopment in the bayfront area would require seemingly difficult cleanup of that contamination to drinking water standards. The RWaCB has indicated that cleanup standards would be based on aquatic life standards, rather than drinking water standards regardless of the beneficial use designation. However, staff believes that removal of the negative perception of the beneficial use designation would help in the effort to bring interested developers to the bayfront. The additional work necessary from the consultant is related to technical support in addressing concerns of the staff of the Sweetwater Authority, The concerns center around potential contamination from operations at B.F. Goodrich and their desire to have better information about that subject before they would support the Agency's application. Removal of the beneficial use designation would not have any adverse consequences to the City or the general public because of the infeasibility of future domestic use of the groundwater. The redesignation could potentially facilitate future development of the bayfront, and for that reason, staff is recommending that the Agency approve funding for consultant services related to the basin plan amendment. The proposed change order and the extent of consultant services that it authorizes is fixed in terms of price and deliverables, Responsibilities of the consultant are clearly defined. FISCAL IMPACT: The costs for the original contract was $105,000, of which the Agency's share was $35,000, The change order amount is $30,000, of which the Agency would be responsible for $10,000. Funds for this expenditure are available in the Bayfront Planning Surveying and Design account (990.9907-5516).
