Although the final guidebook is not available yet, our team has a good understanding of the upcoming changes through our involvement in the guidebook development process and access to the interim tables released for review. As shown on the graphic below, there are several key changes that either increase (shown in orange) or decrease (shown in green) the level of effort for the 2025 UWMPs compared to the 2020 UWMP cycle.
CHAPTER 4
Decreased Table 4-1: Wholesale: Total Uses for Potable and Non-Potable Water - Actual and Table 4-2 Wholesale: Uses for Potable and Non-Potable Water - Projected are now optional.
Increased Table 4-4 Retail: Passive Water Savings Projection is a new optional table to document projected water savings from adopted codes over the next 25 years, in five-year increments.
Decreased Table 4-4: Last Five Years of Water Loss Audit Reporting, optional for Wholesale and mandatory for Retail in 2020 have been removed.
Increased Table 4-5: Water Loss Auditing (optional for Wholesale and mandatory for Retail) is now added to document whether a water loss audit for each of the past 5 years for each public water system served by the agency was submitted to DWR.
Increased Table 4-6 Retail: Progress Towards 2028 Water Loss Performance Standard is a new table to report on whether a retail agency has met the new distribution system loss performance standard enacted by the California State Water Resources Control Board.

Decreased Table 5-1: Baseline and Targets Summary From SB X 7-7 Verification Form and 2020 Table 5-2: 2020 Compliance From SB X 7-7 2020 Compliance Form from 2020 have been removed and a new Table 5-1 Retail: SB X7-7 2020 Target Progress table is included to report the progress in meeting the urban water use target from 2020.
CHAPTER 6
Decreased Table 6-1: Wholesale: Groundwater Volume Pumped has now been made mandatory.
CHAPTER 7
Decreased Table 7-1: Basis of Water Year Data (Reliability Assessment) is now optional for both Retail and Wholesale.
Increased Table 7-2: Normal Year Supply and Use Comparison, Table 7-3: Single Dry Year Supply and Demand Comparison, Table 7-4: Five Consecutive Dry Years Supply and Demand Comparison and Table 7-5: Five-Year Drought Risk Assessment for both Retail and Wholesale have now an optional section to provide WSCP supply augmentation benefit, WSCP water use reduction savings and revised surplus/shortfall over the next 20 years, in five-year increments.
CHAPTER 8
Decreased Table 8-1: Cross-reference for Standard vs Supplier Shortage Levels is now a modified table with no entry for describing the shortage response actions and new columns to list the supplier's own shortage levels (if these differ from the standard shortage levels) and corresponding percent shortage ranges.
TOP 10 Changes anticipated in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook
Based on a detailed side-by-side comparison, we have identified 30 changes between the 2020 and 2025 UWMP tables.
The UWMP Table of Contents below calls out the top 10 changes that either increase or decrease the anticipated level of effort.
Potential triggers that would warrant a
WSCP update include:
☑ Changes in water supplies. For example, water
shortage contingency tiers may need to be modified
for agencies that had stopped using groundwater
in anticipation of the PFAS regulation, but have
brought their groundwater wells back online since the
publication of the 2020 UWMP.
☑ Changes in Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California's (MET's) shortage triggers.
☑ Updates to an agency’s Hazard Mitigation Plan
or Climate Action Plans to ensure consistency and
avoid conflict in drought and other system vulnerability response actions.
☑ Updates to an agency’s Communication Protocols
following the drought in 2021/22 and recent wildfires.
Based on these draft tables released by DWR, we believe that the top three changes are:
1. C
hapter 8: The Water Supply Shortage Levels are now standardized to 6 levels and do not require details on response actions anymore. The currently adopted versions of the WSCPs are now considered acceptable. However, if MWDOC or any of the PAs wants to make any changes, then an update and recertification process will be needed (refer to potential triggers at right).
2. C
hapter 4: The projection of Passive Water Conservation Savings is a new optional table that could require some extensive analysis to estimate water savings from already adopted and/or anticipated changes to plumbing codes and regulations.
3. C
hapter 4: Progress towards the 2028 Water Loss Performance Standard is a new table to report on whether a retail agency has met the new distribution system loss performance standard enacted by the California State Water Resources Control Board.

PREPARATION FOR ORANGE COUNTY WATER AGENCIES
Carollo is currently working on the 2025 UWMP for
the City of San Diego. With the first draft of the UWMP planned for the end of May 2025, we have built off the
comprehensive 2020 UWMP (prepared by CDM Smith)
and developed the plan in accordance with the 2020
Guidebook, while tracking/flagging potential changes
identified through our connections with parties
involved in the 2025 Guidebook development.
In parallel, we have compiled, reviewed, and organized
the City’s data and information sources such that
when the 2025 Guidebook is released, we will be
able to quickly generate the Draft UWMP by linking
our spreadsheet information to new table formats and
word chapters (see page 14). The remaining gaps will
the directly inform the additional information needs to meet all 2025 Guidebook requirements.
San Diego 2025 UWMP
Based on our experience from previous guidebook
updates since our involvement in the 2005 UWMP
cycle, and our ongoing work on the 2025 UWMP for
San Diego, our team has concluded that the changes
for the 2025 UWMP cycle are much less substantive
than in previous cycles. As a result, we understand
most of the work effort will involve updating information and tables, rather than new types of analysis or major
narrative overhauls like in 2020.
Due to the large number of UWMPs that need to
be prepared in parallel within the 11-month project
duration per the timeline in the RFP, we understand
that a key challenge of this project is centered
around organization.
It will be critical to streamline data gathering,
coordination with member agencies, and the
preparation and reviews of the deliverables. To meet
this challenge, MWDOC needs an experienced team
that has gone down this road before. Our team brings
this specific experience through Shivani Shrotriya, who worked with Sarina Sriboonlue for MWDOC while at
Arcadis in the preparation of 22 UWMPs during the
2020 UWMP cycle.
Lastly, we also understand that the key objective of
most of your participating member agencies is to
“check the box” and get this regulatory requirement
completed and be eligible for state funding programs.
It is our job as the consulting team to deliver these
2025 UWMPs with minimal effort from your member
agencies, while getting all the tables and information
accurately updated that meet the 2025 UWMP
Guidebook requirements and extend the planning
horizon to 2050 such that these Plans can also be
used for future Water Supply Assessment until the
2030 UWMP cycle.
Our Tailored Approach to Project Success
We have developed a tailored project approach that meets the critical success factors of this project, namely:
1 Efficient and On-Time Project Delivery
2 Streamlined Data Management and Organization
3 Sound Quality Control that Promotes Smooth DWR Approval Each of these approach elements are described in more detail on the following three pages.
Our ongoing work on the San Diego 2025 UWMP has
resulted in proactive and efficient methods to quickly
incorporate anticipated guidebook changes once released.

Our proven delivery process with a pilot phase and

1 Efficient and On-Time Project Delivery
Leveraging the knowledge and experience from our proposed project engineer, Shivani Shrotriya, who worked on the successful delivery of your 2020 UWMPs, we prepared the flowchart shown below to visually display the steps we envision for the efficient preparation of likely more than 20 2025 UWMPs.
The 2025 UWMP development process will first be piloted with one PA. Although the pilot approach takes time in a tight schedule, we have accounted for this in our overall schedule (see page 18). We advise taking this more cautious approach, so we can repeat and accelerate the project delivery process for the remaining UWMPs with confidence. In this way we Plan the Work so we can then Work the Plan.
This pilot could be completed with the City of Buena Park like in 2020, or another agency may be selected by MWDOC as desired. To take full advantage of the piloting phase, it will be important to use an agency that uses both groundwater and imported water such that the common narrative updates for these water supplies can be used for all UWMPs that need to describe these same water supply sources.
For example, the impact of new PFAS regulations and changes in water reuse with the Groundwater Replenishment System Phase 3 expansion in 2023 will need to be incorporated consistently for all respective member agencies.
Upon completion of the pilot phase, the delivery process will be refined as needed before being replicated for the 2025 UWMPs of MWDOC and all PAs simultaneously. The three key takeaways of our efficient project delivery process shown in the flowchart below are:
1. P
repopulated UWMP Tables: Before we meet with any of
the member agencies, we will combine the information from the 2020 UWMPs, water supply and demand information from MWDOC and online sources. This will allow us to make tailored data requests for each Participating Agency, reducing their data gathering time and effort as much as possible . The tables will be reviewed in the 1:1 meetings and updated information will be directly linked to tables in the 2025 UWMP documents (see sidebar on page 14).
2. D
edicated Chapter Leads: As shown in the flowchart, we have dedicated chapter leads (dedicated UWMP leads) assigned who will work in assembly line style to produce their respective chapters for the 20-ish UWMPs. Only chapters 1, 2, and 10 are combined because of the limited content and preparation timeline. Through repetition, this enhances efficiency and promotes consistency for all common narrative content.
3. E
arly DWR Checklist Review: Each of our three technical
advisors has a clear responsibility (UWMP, WSCP, and DWR reviews). We will conduct the DWR Checklist review prior to the Draft UWMP delivery to verify completeness. This avoids surprises, the need for additional meetings, and potential delays.
Our UWMP delivery process with a pilot phase and dedicated chapter leads is a proven process that will result in on-time project delivery.

2 Streamlined Data Management and Organization
Despite the anticipated relatively minor changes in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook compared to the changes between 2015 and 2020, the preparation of likely more than 20 UWMPs in 11 months with multiple revisions in each remains a big undertaking. This is especially true when it comes to data and document management. In addition to the volume of files, the security of the information must be considered. It is therefore critical to apply the principal “Plan the Work, Work the Plan”.
The Carollo team is familiar with nearly all
players in MWDOC’s service area having
collectively delivered more than 200 projects
for the PAs in just the last decade. We will
leverage our institutional knowledge and
relationships in the 2025 UWMP updates.
The three key elements and benefits of how the Carollo team will streamline data management and organization are as follows:
1. S
ecure SharePoint Site: Carollo will set up and
host a project SharePoint Site to manage all project
files from start to finish. At the end of the project,
files can be transferred back in a single zip file to
MWDOC and the respective agencies, as desired.
As depicted in the graphic below, we propose using
dedicated locked channels for MWDOC and each of
the participating member agencies. These channels
can be used to securely upload and download files
by approved members. Public and non-sensitive
information will be stored in an open shared folder
to avoid unnecessary duplication of data. For
example, the 2025 UWMP Guidebook and Water
Use Efficiency reports can be saved in the shared
folder for easy reference.
2. C
onsistent Folder Structures: We will work with
MWDOC’s project manager at the start of the
project to review and refine our draft proposed
folder structure that will be used for all UWMPs.
This makes it easy for all team members to quickly
find the right files for any member agency, which
enhances efficiency and allows support staff to
quickly ramp up during peak production periods.
3. F
ile Naming Protocol: A document naming protocol
will be launched at the kickoff meeting so that all
data, spreadsheets, chapters, UWMP versions, and
comment logs are kept in the correct folders and
with the correct file name extensions. This avoids
version control issues and potential duplicate work.
Last, but not least, we understand that it is the
consultant’s role to make the data gathering and 2025
UWMP preparation as easy as possible. As members
of our team have not only worked on the 2020 UWMPs
but also completed 200+ projects for all but one of
your member agencies, we bring exceptionally strong
relationships in your entire service area. Our personal and working relationships will help with data gathering and result in efficient project delivery.

3 Sound Quality Control that Promotes Smooth DWR Approval Quality control is clearly important on any project we deliver. The unique project elements that make a robust and well-thought-out quality control and quality assurance (QAQC) process extra critical for this project are:
T
he accelerated timeline of 11 months;
A r
egulatory deadline that is truly fixed; and
T
he simultaneous preparation of 20-ish plans that all roughly follow the same timeline, creating “waves” of deliverables and subsequent reviews.
To address the challenge of the “waves” of internal reviews, we plan to take a 2-pronged approach:
1. S
taggered UWMP Delivery Schedule. We have
separated the anticipated participating member
agencies into four (4) groups based on their
respective supply mix complexity. The delivery
of the Draft, Final Draft, and Final UWMPs in each
group are staggered by 1 week to phase both
production and reviews. In addition, this allows
more time to complete the more complicated plans
and accelerates the UWMP of member agencies
with fewer supplies and less complexity. The group
allocations are consistent with Attachment A of the
RFP and are shown on the project schedule on
page 18.
2. D
edicated Technical Advisory Roles: As shown in
our organization chart on page 2 we have included
three technical advisors on our team. The advisors
are not involved in the day-to-day project activities
or meetings to maintain a truly independent review
perspective. Each advisor has a unique and clearly
defined responsibility as follows:
Dan Rodrigo: Conduct detailed review of
narrative, numbers, and calculations of all
Draft and Final Draft, and Final UWMPs.
Assure consistency with MWDOC’s Water
Reliability Study.
Michelle Maddaus: Conduct detailed review
of narrative, numbers, and calculations of all
Draft and Final Draft, and Final WSCPs.
Jessica Fritsche: Conduct comprehensive
review of the Final Draft and Final UWMPs
and WSCPs from the DWR perspective, using
the DWR checklist.
In addition, we plan to employ available document
processing tools by setting up all the 2025 UWMP
word documents such that the tables in the MS Word
files are automatically linked to the corresponding
master MS Excel workbook. As the UWMP tables
are the core of these plans, we will be using the MS
Excel workbooks as the master data repository from
start to finish. We can then change numbers in excel
when we get new information from a report or during
the 1:1 meetings with the member agencies, and that
automatically updates the corresponding report tables.
Similarly, we will link common text narratives in a
master word document (e.g. about the project Basin
Pumping Percentage with the Final GWRS Expansion)
to the word documents of the applicable member
agencies. The automatic updates via linked tables
and common text improves efficiency, accuracy, and
consistency between the various UWMPs.

Scope of Work
Task 1: Project Management
This task includes effort to communicate and
coordinate with MWDOC and all the Participating
Agencies on project issues and project status, maintain the project schedule, and complete monthly invoices
and progress reports. Our quality control measures will be conducted under this task as well.
Task 1A - Meetings
We have scoped the following meetings:
O
ne 1-hour kickoff meeting with MWDOC.
O
ne 1-hour kickoff meeting with all Participating
Agencies (PA).
O
ne 1:1 meeting with each individual PAs for UWMP.
3
0-minute biweekly check-in meetings with

Task 1B - Invoicing and Progress Reporting
This task includes invoicing and creating monthly
progress reports to describe accomplishments for
the month and activities planned for the next month.
Invoices will include a budget tracker table that provides budget spent, budget remaining, and percent complete
by PA and for the overall project.
Task 1C – Quality Control
Carollo will follow a rigorous quality control process.
Before the project begins, the project manager will
prepare a project checklist. The checklist outlines
key project steps and guides the team on quality
management requirements. The checklist helps confirm
that the project follows our quality management
procedures.
As a minimum, quality management milestones are:
W
ork Plan. A work plan will be developed to
establish the work sequence effort, when work
needs to occur within the project schedule, meeting
times, discussion topics at the meetings, key
decisions that need to be made, and the project
deliverables.
P
roject Management Plan (PMP). The PMP will
include lines of communication, schedule, scope,
budget, staffing plan, and special requirements.
The project management plan will be distributed to
the entire project team and include quality review
assignments by person, deliverable, and review
period dates based on the kickoff meeting schedule.
I
ndependent Final Checks. Senior technical
advisors, who are not involved in the project
activities or meetings, will conduct independent
technical review of the final draft and final
deliverables using Carollo’s “redlining” checking
procedures as well as DWRs formal UWMP Checklist.
Task 1D - Data Management and Organization
Carollo will a setup secure SharePoint site with a
logical folder structure to facilitate easy data sharing and deliverables reviews throughout the project. This
will include secure folders for MWDOC and each PA,

The Fee Proposal presented herein is based on our
current understanding of the anticipated Guidebook
Changes presented in the project understanding
(page 10) and the scope of work presented on pages
15-18. It should be noted that although this is not a
technically challenging project, the combined effort
is still an extensive undertaking. This project will
involve a lot of coordination with 20+ agencies and
3 versions of each UWMP with quality control of all
60+ plans to ensure accuracy and consistency. Our
fee proposal reflects the necessary effort to ensure
smooth approval of the 2025 UWMPs by DWR, such
that MWDOC and all Participating Agencies (PAs)
maintain full eligibility for state grants and loans.
Any significant changes incorporated in the Final
2025 UWMP Guidebook and/or requests to include
optional tables, could require a change in the level of effort and budget. We look forward to the opportunity
to negotiate these changes upon notice of selection
and release of the Final Guidebook.
