Services for Phase V will be negotiated under a separate work order upon completion of Phases I through IV. The County may determine that it is necessary to begin siting and/or land acquisition for the new WTP concurrently with the permitting efforts outlined in Phase IV. SCOPE OF SERVICES CDM will perform the following task services for Phase II. TASK 1. 0 KICKOFF MEETING CDM will organize and participate in a kickoff meeting with County staff and SJRWMD. The intent of the meeting will be to outline the steps necessary to work with SJRWMD to identify the most favorable surface water supply source, calculate the available water in the selected storage area, outline the permitting process for a CUP withdrawal from the storage area, and establish a preliminary schedule for the permitting process. TASK 2.0 COLLABORATION WITH REGULATORY AGENCIES AND WATER CONTROL DISTRICTS There are a number of uncertainties associated with the various surface water sources within the County. Specifically, the quantity of water available from each storage area and the extent of the modeling required of the applicant for a surface water CUP from the Upper Basin Project are unknown. Therefore, CDM, County staff and SJRWMD will have to work closely together throughout the permitting process. CDM anticipates that identification of the specific surface water source (Phase II only) will require approximately 12 to 18 months of ongoing discussions with SJRWMD prior to beginning the CUP process (Phase IV). In addition, CDM will enlist the services of a subconsultant (Henry Dean and Associates, Inc.) to assist with this effort. Mr. Henry Dean has formerly served as Executive Director of both SJRWMD and the SFWMD and was an integral part of the alternative water supply process during Phase I. The activities to be performed during the 12 to 18-month period described above are detailed below. Subtask 2. 1 Data Collection The process of evaluating the sufficiency of surface water quantities in the various surface water storage areas will require a great deal of information. CDM will work directly with SJRWMD to gather the necessary information on the design parameters of each surface water storage area, water quality data, geographical survey information, etc. CDM will also work with the various local water control districts to gather similar data for the drainage canal systems that could potentially supply surface water to a new surface water treatment plant. This task will involve preparation of data request letters to be sent to SJRWMD and each of the pertinent water control districts Subtask 2.2 Meetings with Staff, Regulatory Agencies and Water Control Districts CDM anticipates that a series of meetings will be required over the 12 to 18-month period with both SJRWMD and the individual water control districts to aid in data collection, planning for the permitting process and to foster open lines of communication throughout the project. Under this subtask, CDM has budgeted for up to 6 meetings with SJRWMD. CDM will also coordinate and participate in up to 4 additional meetings with the various water control districts, if needed.
