SUBJECT: August 24, 2006,Meeting of the Nacimiento Project Commission
The Nacimiento Project Commission met on Thursday, August 24, 2006, and reviewed a lengthy
report from the Manager regarding the multiple aspects of this project. Design is now 50%
completed with final design expected by the end of the year. The project is expected to go bid in
April 2007 and the construction contract, along with the sale of the bonds for the project,to be
awarded in the fall of 2007. The project is now estimated to cost$180 million as opposed to the
original estimate of$150 million, due to the worldwide escalation of costs for construction
materials.
The commission received a status report on right-of-way acquisition for 65 needed parcels, the
environmental permitting process, and on-going negotiations with the National Guard, PG&E,
and Monterey County.
The Board agreed to make available 25 acre feet of Nacimiento water to CSA-10 in Cayucos,
and staff is now preparing the contracts. The Board also received a report of progress in the
hiring of a firm for construction management.
In summary, the project is moving ahead very well and on schedule. The meetings with the
Board members (North County representatives) are always amicable as we move together to
meet our common goals.
