EXHIBIT A
RE: Letter Agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority) and
Carlsbad Municipal Water District (Carlsbad) for the replacement of a portion of existing
Tri-Agencies Water Transmission Pipeline branch piping and appurtenances downstream
of Carlsbad 4 Flow Control Facility
Dear Mr. Hall:
This Letter Agreement memorializes the terms and conditions between the Water Authority and
Carlsbad for the replacement of approximately 15 feet of bar wrapped concrete cylinder pipe
owned and operated by the Water Authority, which is a portion of the Tri-Agencies Water
Transmission Pipeline (TAP) branch piping extending from Carlsbad 4 Flow Control Facility
(CR4FCF) to the Water Authority's northwesterly easement line.
Introduction:
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms under which Carlsbad will replace
approximately 15 feet of bar wrapped pipe concrete cylinder pipe, install a cathodic protection test
station, install a buried insulating flange on the easement line to defme change in ownership
between the Water Authority and Carls bad, and appurtenances required to complete the installation
(Project). All Project work shall occur within the Water Authority easement on facilities owned
by the Water Authority.
The Water Authority constructed the TAP project in 1978, which included a transmission pipeline,
five member agency flow control facilities (FCFs), and various branch discharge pipelines
extending from each facility. Ownership of pipelines and accompanying easements, downstream
of the FCFs, were transferred to the member agencies as agreed upon after project completion.
The limits for pipeline ownership were intended to be located at the point of intersection with the
easement or property line where possible.
CR4FCF is part of a combined FCF structure which also includes Oceanside 4 Flow Control
Facility. After the TAP was completed, the Water Authority quitclaimed the westerly portion of
the pipeline easement to Carlsbad, as well as ownership of the TAP branch pipeline and
appurtenances downstream of CR4FCF. A quitclaim deed (County of San Diego record number
82-220672; dated July 19, 1982) describes that portion ofthe TAP easement that was quitclaimed
to Carlsbad (formally Costa Real Municipal Water District). As described in the quitclaim deed,
the permanent easement line (between the Water Authority and Carlsbad) intersects the TAP at
pipeline station 230+58.4( which is approximately 20-feet west ofCR4FCF, as shown in Exhibit
Q:\Public Works\PW Common\Agenda Bills\2016 Agenda Bills\Approval\5008 Approval of Letter Agreement with SDCWA and Right of Entry S

A, attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement. The pipe material of the existing TAP
branch pipeline immediately downstream of CR 4 FCF begins with a short section of welded steel
pipe and then transitions to bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe. The pipe material transition takes
place at pipe joint station 230+51.81 which does not coincide with the existing easement line and
thus leaves a 40-foot pipe section of bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe straddling the easement
line.
Carlsbad desires to construct a new 18-inch welded steel pipeline (TAP Reach 2, Phase 1) to
replace Carlsbad's existing 21-inch bar-wrapped concrete cylinder piping downstream of the
CR4FCF. Carlsbad needs to construct the Project as part of its larger pipe replacement project
because the alignment of the Carlsbad portion of the pipe replacement project is lower than the
existing pipe. In order for Carlsbad to completely replace the existing 21-inch prestressed bar-
wrapped concrete cylinder piping, it will require construction to take place within the Water
Authority's easement, as well as removal and modification of the Water Authority's existing
piping. Additionally, in order to accommodate the design slope of Carlsbad's new 18-inch pipeline
and subsequent vertical angle point west ofCR4FCF, Carlsbad and the Water Authority agree that
connecting to the Water Authority's existing 21-inch welded steel pipe at a point closer to CR 4 FCF
is more appropriate than at the existing transition joint to the bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe.
By making the connection closer to CR4FCF, it will allow sufficient room for a temporary test
bulkhead to be installed, as well as room for installing a short pipe spool for connecting to the
existing welded steel pipe. Finally, a buried insulating flange joint shall be installed at the
easement line to defme pipeline ownership, as well as electrically isolate each agency's facilities.
No riwdification to existing property easements will be required.
Terms and Conditions of the Letter Agreement
A. Carlsbad Obligations:
1. Assign a project manager, who will be the Water Authority's single point of contact.
2. Immediately following the execution of this agreement, arrange a kick-off meeting to

4. Provide the Water Authority, for review and comment: design submittals (including fmal

provision of the contract documents, nor partial or entire occupancy of the premises by
the Water Authority shall constitute an acceptance of the work not done in accordance
with the contract documents or relieve Carlsbad of liability in respect to any express
warranties, statutory or common law responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship.
13. During the one-year warranty period, and upon written notice of any defects in the Project
and request for correction from the Water Authority, Carlsbad shall require its contractor
to cure any defects with reasonable promptness. Carlsbad shall notify the Water
Authority upon completion of work. In the event of an emergency, if Carlsbad fails to
promptly undertake appropriate action to mitigate the emergency and make the required
repairs, the Water Authority may make the required repairs. In any event which is not
an emergency, if Carlsbad fails to respond to the Water Authority's request for correction
within two weeks after being notified in writing by the Water Authority, and fails to
commence the required repairs within a schedule approved by the Water Authority, the
Water Authority is hereby authorized to proceed to have the defects repaired and made
good at the expense of Carlsbad, which hereby agrees to pay the cost and charges
therefore immediately upon demand. In the event the Water Authority elects to repair
the defective work, such action by the Water Authority will not relieve Carlsbad of the
guarantees provided in paragraphs 12 and 13 herein.
