Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On July 10, 2018, the Board approved an agreement with Larry Walker and Associates for phase II of the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan development.
Summary of Request:
On April 18, 2017, the Mendocino County Water Agency executed a Joint Powers Agreement joining the Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (UVBGSA) and acting as the Agency's Treasurer and Controller. On July 10, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a contract with Larry Walker and Associates for the development of Phase 2 of the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan and funded the contract with the Proposition 1 Groundwater Sustainability Planning (GSP) Grant.
On March 13, 2020, the Mendocino County Water Agency was awarded an additional $1,233,800 in Proposition 68 funding from the Department of Water Resources for the development of an Ukiah Valley GSP. The funding will be used in upgrading the groundwater model to a USGS model that will be compatible with the larger Russian River Watershed model, additional education and outreach focused on tribes and disadvantaged communities, extended GSP review and commenting process, economic analysis, and building a monitoring network for state required reporting within our CASGEM program. Larry Walk and Associates will be performing additional technical services in support of this grant and project. The Water Agency recommends approval of a contract amendment in the amount of $1,037,140, funded by the Proposition 68 grant for additional support services for the mandated development of the Ukiah Valley GSP.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve contract and provided alternative direction for project support.
