PISMO BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAF REPOR
Agenda Item #9.G
Meetin Date: Ma 5, 2026
TITLE:
Award of Contract to Water Systems Consulting, Inc. for the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Master Plan Update
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Water Systems Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $221,703 for the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Master Plan Update.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Pismo Beach has a current population of approximately 7,860 people.
However, as a vacation destination, the number of people served by the water system surges dramatically in the summer and holiday seasons. The City currently serves 1.5 million gallons on an average day.
The City’s water distribution system consists of more than 50 miles of pipeline ranging from 4-inch to 16-inch diameter, eight pressure zones, six booster stations, four turnouts from the Lopez Project, and two groundwater wells. Water storage is provided by eight tanks with capacities ranging from 220,000 gallons to 1 million gallons.
As the distribution system ages and overall growth slows, the City anticipates a shift in capital expenditures from system expansion to asset renewal and replacement. However, changes in growth patterns, increasing density of development and growth of tourism are increasing potential demand on the system. To date, these potential increases in demand have not been fully realized, as the City has actively implemented and will continue to pursue water conservation measures to offset demand associated with growth.
The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Master Plan (WMP) will evaluate the effects of growth, densification, and conservation on the City’s water supply and distribution systems. The UWMP, which is required to be updated every five years, was most recently adopted in 2021 and provides a long-term framework for sustainable water supply and asset management. The WMP, last adopted in 2020, will be updated to ensure that system maintenance and capital improvements are prioritized and implemented efficiently, supporting effective long-range planning and budgeting.
A formal Request for Proposals was issued for professional engineering and planning services for the 2025 UWMP and WMP Update. Two proposals were received on April 16, 2026 and evaluated by a review panel. Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) was determined to be the most qualified and has been selected to perform the work.

C. Design Professional Services:
In the event VENDOR is a "design professional," and the Scope of Services require VENDOR to provide “design professional services” as those phrases are used in Civil Code Section 2782.8, this paragraph shall apply in place of paragraphs A or B. To the fullest extent permitted by law (including, but not limited to California Civil Code Sections 2782 and 2782.8) VENDOR shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless CITY and its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents (“City Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, damages, injuries, losses, and expenses including costs, attorney fees, expert consultant and expert witness fees arising out of, pertaining to or relating to, the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence, active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of any subcontractor employed by VENDOR shall be conclusively deemed to be the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of VENDOR unless adequately corrected by VENDOR. In the event CITY Indemnitees are made a party to any action, lawsuit, or other adversarial proceeding arising from VENDOR’s performance of this AGREEMENT, VENDOR shall provide a defense to CITY Indemnitees or at CITY’s option, reimburse CITY Indemnitees their costs of defense, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in defense of such claims.

However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, VENDOR shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.
D. Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of the indemnities in paragraph A, B, or C. In the event of any dispute between VENDOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of CITY or its officers, employees, or agents, VENDOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating CITY as having been actively negligent, solely negligent or as having engaged in willful misconduct. Except as otherwise required by Civil Code Section 2782.8, VENDOR will not be entitled in the absence of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive completion of VENDOR’s services or the termination of this AGREEMENT.

Without limiting VENDOR’s indemnification of CITY, and prior to commencement of the Scope of Services, VENDOR shall obtain, provide and maintain at its own expense during the term of this AGREEMENT, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and in a form that is satisfactory to CITY.
1. General liability insurance. VENDOR shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage.

All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officials, agents, officers, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow VENDOR or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. VENDOR hereby waives its own right of recovery against CITY, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

9. Notice of cancellation. VENDOR agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to CITY with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

10. Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that CITY and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies. Each such insurance policy shall contain language substantially similar to the following clause:
"The City of Pismo Beach, its elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, and agents are named as additional insureds as respects operations of the named insured performed under contract with the City of Pismo Beach." CITY need not be named as an additional insured on professional liability insurance policies.
11. Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement XVI. SUBCONTRACTORS
Before VENDOR retains or hires a subcontractor to provide any work, labor, or services relative to this AGREEMENT, VENDOR must:
A. Present the name and identifying information of the subcontractor that will provide any work, labor, or services to CITY;

Minimum and maximum operating pressure
Pipeline velocity
Storage volume and production capacity criteria
3.2 Baseline Demand
x Review historic water production data, billing meter data, and existing land uses/zoning to establish land use-based demand factors, average day demand, maximum day demand, peak hour demand, and demand peaking factors.
Understanding and Scope of Work
2025 Water Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan Update City of Pismo Beach | 20
x Evaluate non-revenue water using available production and billing dataand AWWA water loss audits. Compare real water losses to the City’s water loss standard mandated by the State. Identify planning-level strategies to reduce system losses. x Develop updated population and demand projections through the 2050 planning horizon in five-year increments for the UWMP and buildout conditions. Demand projections will consider recent water use and conservation trends, current and projected land use based on the City’s General Plan, and State water use efficiency regulations.
x Develop spatially allocated baseline water demands for current, near term, and buildout conditions for loading in the hydraulic model using customer meter and APN data.
3.3 Demand Envelope
x Prepare up to three demand scenarios that consider the uncertainty in the demand projections, based on direction provided by the City. The demand scenarios are anticipated to apply adjustments to the baseline demand projection, and may include:

2025 Water Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan Update City of Pismo Beach | 22
Task 5 Hydraulic Model Development and Calibration
We propose to update the City’s existing water system model rather than develop a new model.
The City’s current hydraulic model was developed and calibrated in 2016 using the City’s GIS data and incorporates unique GIS-IDs for system elements. These identifiers allow the model to be efficiently updated using more recent GIS datasets. Updating the existing model, rather than building a new one, will reduce overall project costs while maintaining consistency with prior analyses.
While not specifically listed in the RFP, we recommend updating the model’s extended period simulation (EPS) calibration in addition to steady-state calibration using the hydrant flow test data. The EPS analysis evaluates system performance over time and allows simulation of conditions such as water age and system-wide operational impacts, providing a more comprehensive assessment of system behavior under varying demand and operational scenarios.
We also propose preparing a model development and calibration memorandum to document the model updates and calibration results.
5.1 Update Water Model
x Update the City’s existing hydraulic model using current GIS system mapping. Update the model controls and operation based on staff input collected during Task 2.2. x Load spatially allocated current, near-term, and buildout demands in the updated hydraulic model. Update model demand scenarios using updated demand projections and peaking factors.
5.2 Model Calibration
x Prepare a hydrant flow testing plan to collect data for model calibration. Refine hydrant flow locations based on City feedback and considering drought/conservation requirements. The hydrant flow testing plan will include proposed test locations, including flowing and residual hydrant, procedures, and a data collection sheet. x Calibrate the model under steady-state conditions by evaluating modeled pressures to observed pressures collected during the hydrant flow tests performed by the City.
Make adjustments to pipe roughness factors or minor lossesto achieve acceptable agreement between model results and observed test results. x Recalibrate the City’s EPS scenarios using a week of consecutive SCADA data showing tank levels, and pump, well, and turnout status, flowrates, and discharge pressure (as available). Update modeled pump, well, and turnout controls and adjust the diurnal demand pattern applied in the model to simulate tank cycling similar to observed tank cycling in the distribution system.
x Review calibration results with City staff and make refinements based on City direction as needed.
