SUMMARY: On August 9, 2021, the Administrative
Committee recommended to the Board to approve the Draft Master Services
Agreement between the District and the Watermaster to provide Hydrologic
Monitoring and Database Services. The
Board approved this item under the Consent Calendar at the August 16 Board
Meeting. District staff transmitted the
approved Master Service Agreement to Watermaster staff. At the September 1 Watermaster Board Meeting,
a modified version of the Master Services Agreement was approved on Consent
Calendar. District staff was informed by
District Counsel that the General Manager could not execute a modified
Agreement that was not Board authorized.
Attachment A is the Watermaster amended version of the Master Services
Agreement for consideration. The new
version has been reviewed and approved by the Administrative Division and
District Counsel and is included as Exhibit
11-A. The
highlighted words on the 4th page of the agreement were added by the
Watermaster.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee
recommends that the Board approve the
Watermaster Amended Master Services Agreement between MPWMD and the Watermaster
for Hydrologic Monitoring and Database.
BACKGROUND: In 2009 to assist the Watermaster in
establishing its technical databases and hydrologic monitoring network, the
District Board and Watermaster Board entered into a Professional Services
Agreement for MPWMD to support the Watermaster.
For the past 12 years, the District has provided a number of services
including professional analysis, hydrologic monitoring, database services, and
report tabulation. Now that the
Watermaster has established a larger group of professional consultants, the
Districts role has changed to support largely the hydrologic data collection
and database services. The 2009
Professional Services Agreement was reviewed in 2020 and found to have a number
active cost recovery mechanisms no longer practiced by the District and a new
Master Service Agreement was drafted.
