HomeMy WebLinkAboutAGMT - Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority (MOU for LCWA Watermain Lining WT2103)Memorandum of Understanding
By and between
The Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority and
The City of Seal Beach
This memorandum of understanding is made by and between the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority, a
California joint powers authority between the State Coastal Conservancy, the San Gabriel and Lower Los
Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, the City of Long Beach and the City of Seal Beach ("LCWA"),
and the City of Seal Beach ("City"). LCWA and City are sometimes referred to herein individually as a
"Party" and together as "Parties."
Recitals
Whereas, the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority owns a 100 acre property ("Property") in the City of Seal
Beach APN;
Whereas, the City of Seal Beach desires to reline a waterline that runs parallel to First Street within the
City's easement on the Property to temporarily address issues of recent waterline breakages;
Whereas, the City requires access to the Property beyond the easement for biological and geotechnical
surveys, and for potential use during construction;
Whereas, the Parties desire to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate in good faith
on the relining of the waterline.
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
The City shall coordinate with LCWA staff and/or LCWA contractors throughout permitting
and implementation and provide assurances to restore the property to its original condition
after completion of the construction, per regulatory agency -approved restoration plan.
The City shall share with LCWA an updated schedule of activities on LCWA property at least
two (2) weeks in advance to allow time to adjust LCWA's stewardship events if activities
interfere with planned events. The LCWA shall share with the City its schedule of
stewardship events.
The City will reimburse LCWA for costs associated with coordinating and monitoring the
project, up to $1,910 per week, according to the attached workplan (Exhibit A).
4. The City understands that depending on the restoration plans of the LCWA and the long-
term waterline alignment plan, the planning of which remains ongoing, LCWA may request
at some point in the future that the relined pipeline may need to be removed or realigned
before the end of its expected lifetime. The City will work with LCWA and the Coastal
Commission regarding the best alignment for long-term planning and location of the
pipeline according to the LCWA Optimized Restoration Plan. City is not obligated to relocate
the pipeline outside of the existing easement as part of this long-term planning, but shall in
good faith work with the LCWA and the Coastal Commission and consider such potential
long-term realignment proposals. The allocation of the parties' responsibility for costs of any
such relocation, and the granting of a new easement, shall be the subject of future
negotiations and a subsequent agreement.
The City agrees to require contractors to carry adequate insurance to cover the costs of
repair of any existing structures or real property from flooding or other hazards attendant
from the project, and to require such policies to be endorsed to name LCWA as additional
named insured.
6. City agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LCWA from any liabilities, claims, damages, or
otherwise to the extent the same results from City's acts or omissions in carrying out this
project.
