SUBJECT:
Joint Use Agreement with San Antonio Water System for the replacement of an existing sewage line at San Antonio International Airport
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance will authorize a joint use agreement with San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to access property at the San Antonio International Airport (SAT). SAWS is replacing existing aging sewage pipes along Wurzbach Parkway with larger pipes to provide added capacity. The term of the agreement is 25 years with automatic renewal for an additional 25-year period unless either party terminates the agreement. This work will increase capacity downstream and will reduce the number of potential future sanitary sewerage overflows on airport property.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
SAWS is replacing and increasing the size of approximately five miles of existing sewage pipeline along Wurzbach Parkway due to capacity issues and the age of the sewage main. As part of the project, SAWS requires access to a parcel (P17-262) on the airport's property in order to excavate and remove the existing sewer pipes and replace with larger diameter pipes to provide added capacity. Parcel P17-262 is an easement that runs along Wurzbach Parkway from the about Jones Maltsberger to Starcrest. SAWS will maintain a distance of at least 15 feet from the Perimeter Fence which surrounds airport property at all time and we do not anticipate the SAWS project will cause any interruption to airport operations. In addition, SAWS will not allow any vehicles or equipment be parked along the perimeter fence at any time.
SAWS requires the joint use agreement in order to initiate the construction phase of the work.
ISSUE:
This Ordinance will authorize a joint use agreement with SAWS to access property at SAT in order for SAWS to replace existing sewage pipes along Wurzbach Parkway with larger pipes to provide added capacity.
