Description
Purpose: Reduce the Critical Overdraft Conditions in the Basin by: Protecting Against Further Seawater Intrusion and Contamination of the Groundwater Basin Building Resiliency Against Sea Level Rise Impacts Caused by Climate Change Promoting Beneficial Reuse and Providing a Reliable Water Supply During Droughts Preserving a Federally Protected Marine Area by Reducing Discharge of Treated Wastewater to Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary) Complying with State Mandated Sustainability Goals and Avoiding Water Restrictions That Would Affect Tourism, Businesses, Quality of Life and Have a Devastating Economic Impact on the Region (Estimated at Over 900 Million with Added Benefits of Avoiding the Loss of Over 725 Jobs and a Moratorium on Water Meters That Would Prevent 2,100 New Housing Units).the Project Will Capture Secondary Treated Effluent That Is Discharged as a Waste Stream Into the Sanctuary, Purify IT Through an Advanced Water Treatment Process, and Inject the Purified Water Into the Groundwater to Replenish the Supplies, Raise Groundwater Elevations Along the Coast, and Protect the Basin from Further Seawater Intrusion.with the Project, the Region Can Achieve a Reliable Water Supply, Achieve the State Mandate to Achieve Basin Sustainability by 2040, Restore the Basin and Promote Greater Regional Watershed Enhancements That Are Drought Resilient, Increase Resiliency Against Climate Change Impacts, and Advance Equal Opportunity in the Region.activities to Be Performed:objective 1: Contracts for Program Managementobjective 2: Contract for Environmental Documentation and Permitting Servicesobjective 3: Contract Support for Capital Program Managementobjective 4: Contractual Support for Final Designobjective 5: Contract for Infrastructure Constructiondeliverable(s) Expected Outcome(s):objective 1 Outcomes: Administrative Program Management Office Administration and Support Recycled Water Utility Support Outreach and Education Environmental Documentation and Environmental Permitting Support Groundwater Hydrology Support Groundwater Monitoring Capital Program Coordination Procurement Assistance Quality Assurance Funding Support Regulatory and Financial Strategy Support Stakeholder Agreements Contract and Construction Support Land and Easement Acquisition Support Lab Testing and Monitoring Utility Services.objective 2 Outcomes: Environmental Consulting Services to Prepare Project-Level Ceqa and Nepa Environmental Documentation for Program Facilities, Eir Addendums, Provides Environmental Regulatory Permitting Services, Associated Environmental Surveys, and Environmental Services During Construction.objective 3 Outcomes: Professional Engineering Services Associated with Program Management, Project Management, Establishing the Basis of Design for the Programs Two Treatment Facilities (Tertiary and Advanced Water Purification), and Three Seawater Intrusion Prevention (Swip) Wells and Associated Monitoring Wells, Conveyance Infrastructure Including 9 Miles of Pipelines and Associated Pump Stations.objective 4 Outcomes: Contract for Design-Build Delivery of the Conveyance Infrastructure Project Contract for Design-Build Delivery of the Treatment Facilities Project Contract for Engineering Design Services for the Swip Wells 100 Design, Swip Monitoring Wells 100 Design, and Swip Well Equipping 100 Design and Contract for Operations and Maintenance at Risk (Omar) Engineering and Operability Design Services to Support the Treatment Facilities Design and Coordination with the Interconnected Infrastructure.
