General Manager

Line Item No.:

35-04-786004

 

Prepared By:

Maureen Hamilton

Cost Estimate:

$30,000

 

General Counsel Approval: N/A

Committee Recommendation: The Finance and Administration Committee reviewed this item on June 10, 2024, and recommended approval.

CEQA Compliance: This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

 

SUMMARY:  The ASR sites were developed over 25 years.  Multiple projects had overlapping design and construction schedules. MPWMD is in the process of updating the last major construction drawings with other projects’ red-line and excavation data.  Accurate drawings reduce risk and mitigate costs associated with unforeseen circumstances. 

 

In 2023 staff issued a Request for Proposals and selected Schaaf & Wheeler (SW) as the most qualified consultant.  Last fiscal year SW drawings work included georeferencing, integration of sites’ topographies, utilities integration, and streamlining layer properties. 

 

This fiscal year’s requested work includes continuing projects’ integration into the master drawings with site verifications.  Work will be conducted on a time and materials basis not to exceed $30,000.  

 

Drawing management does not appear to be contemplated in the Amended and Restated Aquifer Storage and Recovery Management and Operations Agreement between California-American Water Company and Monterey Peninsula Water Management District dated February 23, 2021 (O&M Agreement).  Staff will exercise the meet and confer option per the O&M Agreement in an effort to reach a mutual understanding of how drawing management will be funded.  If the cost is reimbursable by Cal-Am, a mid-year budget adjustment would be made to transfer the cost of this item from Line Item 35-04-786004 to 35-04-786005.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Finance and Administration Committee recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager or his designee to enter into a contract with Schaaf & Wheeler to provide drawing support services to MPWMD for an amount not to exceed $30,000.
