COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT <br />ESTUDILLO CANAL IMPROVEMENTS <br />BETWEEN MONARCH BAY DRIVE BRIDGE AND UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, <br />IN SAN LEANDRO, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, ZONE NO.2 PROJECT <br />This Cooperative Agreement (Agreement) is made this 7�,-� day of \ , 2020 in the <br />City of Oakland, State of California, by and between the City of San Lean ro, hereinafter referred <br />to as "City" and the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, hereinafter <br />referred to as "District." City and District hereby agree as follows: <br />A. Background <br />1. The Estudillo Canal in Flood Control Zone 2 (also known as Line A) between the San <br />Francisco Bay and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Crossing is an open earthen channel <br />that bisects the Monarch Bay Golf Course and flows from east to west to the Bay. <br />2. The District has an existing flood control drainage easement between the San Francisco <br />Bay and UPRR, and owns the remaining portion of the Estudillo Canal upstream of UPRR. <br />The District maintains the entire Estudillo Canal including the portion of open earthen <br />channel that bisects the Monarch Bay Golf Course downstream of UPRR. <br />3. The District conducted a Joint Feasibility Study with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers <br />for the entire reach of Estudillo Canal between San Francisco Bay and Coelho Drive <br />upstream, and determined that the existing channel does not have sufficient capacity to <br />convey the 100 -year design flow (1% annual chance of occurring) design flow. <br />4. The City owns and maintains the sediment handling basins (referred to as the Dredge <br />Materials Management Site) downstream of UPRR, on the south side of Estudillo Canal. <br />5. The City owns and maintains an existing drainage structure (identified as Tide Gates #40 <br />and #42 and part of the marshlands' tide gate hydrological system) at the south channel <br />levee just downstream of UPRR, connecting the Roberts Landing Mitigation Marshes and <br />Estudillo Canal. The structure consists of two 36" pipes with flap gates on the channel <br />inboard side and sluice gates on the channel outboard side allowing tidal flow from the <br />south to enter into Estudillo Canal.. <br />6. The City owns and maintains Monarch Bay Drive Bridge at the mouth of Estudillo Canal <br />by San Francisco Bay. The south bridge abutment embankment protection is eroding due <br />to daily tidal flows. The City desires to include the construction of the bridge abutment <br />embankment repairs in the District's upcoming Estudillo Canal improvement project. <br />7. The District and the City are working together on the flood control improvements for the <br />portion of Estudillo Canal between Monarch Bay Drive Bridge and UPRR, hereinafter <br />referred to as the "Project." Exhibit A depicts the Project setting and components. This <br />Agreement sets forth the responsibilities of both the District and the City for the <br />implementation of the Project. <br />
