AGENDA REPORT
Date: June 12, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: Greg Ramirez, City Manager
Submitted by: Dave Klotzle, Public Works Director
Subject: Groundwater Hydrogeology Technical Services – Agreement Amendment
BACKGROUND
In September 2016, the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA) approved the City's plan to pump up to 4,500 acre-feet per year of brackish groundwater for treatment at the North Pleasant Valley Groundwater Desalter (Desalter). As part of this approval, FCGMA established a Monitoring and Contingency Plan (MCP) which requires frequent monitoring of water quality and levels in various wells throughout the City. The City must submit annual reports on monitoring results and analysis for FCGMA review and approval. Professional hydrogeological services are needed to analyze well monitoring information, write the FCGMA MCP annual report, and provide technical support in support of Desalter operations.
On December 8, 2021, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement (CC Agreement No. 2021-201) with Bondy Groundwater Consulting, Inc. (Bondy Groundwater) for groundwater hydrogeology technical services in the amount of $361,750 with an authorized contingency in the amount of $36,175 for unforeseen additional services for a total agreement authorization not-to-exceed $397,925 through June 30, 2024. The multi-year agreement includes an option for two one-year extensions that require approval by City Council at the time of extension.
DISCUSSION
The agreement with Bondy Groundwater will expire on June 30, 2024. Staff recommends approving an agreement amendment to extend the term for one additional year through June 30, 2025, to provide groundwater hydrogeology technical services. Bondy Groundwater has provided an updated scope of work and fee schedule that is included in the agreement amendment that does not impact the original amount of the agreement of $361,750 and contingency amount of $36,175 for a total not to exceed of $397,925.
