PROFESSIONAL WATER AND WASTEWATER ENGINEERING SERVICES
This is an Exhibit attached to and made a part of and incorporated by reference to the Agreement dated January 21, 2025 by and between EKI Environment & Water, Inc, hereinafter referred to as "CONSULTANT" and the City of Foster City/Estero Municipal Improvement District, hereinafter referred to as "CITY/DISTRICT" providing for professional services.
Description of the Project:
Prepare the Estero Municipal Improvement District’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), including the required component of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).
1.1. Project Management and Kick-Off Meeting
1.1.1. This task consists of initial preparatory work to set up and manage the project, with an emphasis on transparency and coordination, as well as continued management throughout the duration of the project.
1.2. Prepare Water Supply and Demand Assessment
1.2.1.Current and Future Population Estimates Per prior UWMP efforts, we have assumed that we will rely on information provided by the District, the 2020 Census data, California Department of Finance data, Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the BAWSCA Demand Study, and/or DWR’s population tool to estimate current population. EKI will also review population and employment projections incorporated in the BAWSCA Demand Study that is anticipated to be provided by BAWSCA and assess whether they accurately reflect District planning documents and information.
1.2.2.Current and Future Water Demand Estimates -EMID will provide EKI with complete (final) water use records in total and by customer sector between 2020 and 2025 as well as information related to distribution system losses, based on validated annual reports from the Water Loss Program. EKI will compare the results to the assumptions included in the BAWSCA Demand Study and will alert the EMID of any discrepancies. In coordination with the EMID, EKI will make necessary revisions to water demand factors and/or population and employment growth projections The 2025 UWMP will describe how the demand projections incorporate land use information, water savings from codes and standards, and climate change, as required by California Water Code (CWC) §10631(a), §10631(d)(4)(A), and §10631(b)(1). Current and future water demands will be presented by customer classes, including distribution system losses, and presented in five-year increments through 2050, and on an annual basis through 2030.
1.2.3.Senate Bill x7-7 Per-Capita Water Usage Analysis - EKI will complete a water use analysis to demonstrate continued compliance with the Water Conservation Act of 2009 (Senate Bill X7-7 [SBX7-7]) and account for potential implications of the SB 606/Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 Urban Water Use Objective (UWUO). Pursuant to SBX7-7 and preliminary guidance from DWR, the EMID’s 2025 UWMP will need to report compliance with 2020 water use targets if EMID was compliant in 2020 and there were no service area changes between 2020 and 2025. It is assumed that limited analysis will be required as the EMID was well below its SBX7-7 target in 2020 and there were no service area changes. This subtask will also leverage findings from the 2025 UWUO Report and the BAWSCA Demand Study
1.2.4.Water Supply and Reliability Estimates – EMID’s water supply will be analyzed in five-year increments for the next 25 years for both normal conditions and an extended five-year drought period. To the extent appropriate, the 2025 UWMP will incorporate information regarding the source, nature, and projected availability of the District’s current and projected future water supplies, including any future water projects and/or water transfers, based on information provided by the SFPUC and BAWSCA The 2025 UWMP will also discuss any potential future water supplies considered by the District, including projects identified in the SFPUC Alternative Water Supply Program (AWSP) and BAWSCA Strategy 2050 (Strategy), and supply reliability and/or constraints identified by EMID.
1.2.5.Evaluation of Supply Versus Demand - EKI will compare the District’s total projected water supply to projected water demand in five-year increments for the next 25 years, for normal years and an extended five-year drought period. To the extent that there are significant shortfalls or uncertainties identified, EKI will bring these issues to the District’s attention so that they can be addressed prior to drafting the Administrative Draft UWMP.
1.2.6.Conduct District Workshop #1 - District Workshop #1 will include a presentation of the information identified above and will consist of an approximately one- to two-hour meeting with appropriate staff and stakeholders as identified by the District. During District Workshop #1, EKI will obtain input regarding the presentation of initial findings and guidance from the District on how to include the information in the Administrative Draft UWMP.
1.3. Water Shortage Contingency Planning and Incorporation of Water Conservation Information
1.3.1.Evaluation of Historic, Current and Projected Future Water Conservation - EKI will work with EMID staff to incorporate appropriate water conservation information into the 2025 UWMP based on the revised Demand Management Measure (DMM) framework required per Assembly Bill 2067 and California Water Code (CWC) §10631.
1.3.2.Conduct District Workshop #2 - District Workshop #2 will include a presentation of the information identified above and will consist of a one hour teleconference meeting with appropriate stakeholders as identified by the District. During District Workshop #3, EKI will obtain input from the District and Stakeholders regarding the content and potential effectiveness of the current WSCP and how best to include the information in the Administrative Draft UWMP
1.4. Prepare and Submit Administrative Draft, Public Draft, and Final 2025 UWMP Administrative Draft UWMP and Public Draft UWMP
1.4.1.Administrative Draft UWMP and Public Draft UWMP - Based upon the results of Tasks 1 through 3, EKI will prepare an Administrative Draft UWMP. EKI will provide one (1) electronic Word version of the Administrative Draft UWMP to District staff for a 30-day review and comment period. EKI will incorporate the District’s comments as appropriate and produce a Public Draft UWMP. EKI will provide one (1) electronic PDF version of the Public Draft UWMP to District staff for public and regional agencies’ review. Following a 30-day review period, EKI will communicate with key District staff to discuss comments received by the District as a result of external review and to agree on an approach to modify the Public Draft UWMP. EKI will attend and present at the public hearing when final adoption of the UWMP is considered (included in Task
1.4.2.Preparation and Filing of Final UWMP -As appropriate, EKI will incorporate comments received on the Public Draft UWMP and at the public hearing into a Final 2025 UWMP, as well as the District Board resolution to adopt the 2025 UWMP. Within 30 days of District Board adoption, EKI will forward the Final 2025 UWMP on the District’s behalf to DWR, the California State Library, and the San Mateo County Library.
The Final 2025 UWMP will be delivered, including supporting documentation in electronic formats: Adobe PDF format; Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.
