The commission approved revised terms and authorized the general manager to execute a corrected purchase and sale agreement and easement deeds with the Sunol Glen Unified School District for a permanent underground water pipeline easement and an associated temporary construction easement.
Right‑of‑way Manager Dina Bridal explained the item corrects changes requested by the school district’s new administration after an earlier agreement approved in 2024. The substantive change requiring reapproval was to the indemnification language in Section 8: the revised form narrows the seller’s obligations and adds a mutual indemnity provision that obligates the city to indemnify under certain circumstances. The SFPUC’s risk management team reviewed the change and concluded the provision falls within the agency’s normal practice.
The transaction covers a 4,008‑square‑foot perpetual pipeline easement and a 34,834‑square‑foot temporary construction easement across district property; the negotiated purchase price remains $35,000, equal to a third‑party appraisal. Bridal said the pipeline replacement across Arroyo de la Laguna was scheduled to avoid impacts to the school calendar and preserve outdoor education areas; the work on the school property is substantially complete.
Commissioner Stacy asked whether the work on school property was finished; staff confirmed work on the school parcel is substantially complete and had been timed to the summer to avoid school impacts.
The commission approved the revised agreement by roll call; the item moves to the Board of Supervisors for final approval as required by city procedures.
