CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT NO.3 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTANT

PAGE 3
ADVANTAGES:
Implementation of the monitoring and reporting program, including changes in water levels
or quality, will enable the City and its partner jurisdictions to react quickly to any issue
affecting water supply in the groundwater basin. The monitoring program has provided a
mechanism allowing all parties to be better informed with regard to the changing condition
of the basin, and consequently, has allowed for the opportunity for better collaboration
between the City and partner jurisdictions included in the Arroyo Grande Groundwater
Basin Management Agreement.
The GEI Consulting team includes staff with local experience, a track record of meeting
reporting requirements of adjudicated basins, has brought a new perspective to achieve
the objectives of the NCMA, and are well suited to prepare the 2012 Annual Groundwater
Monitoring Report.
WSC has provided valuable expertise for the NCMA TG group, including providing QA/QC
for the annual report, agency coordination, and writing two successful grants for the NCMA
agencies and submitting a third grant (Local Groundwater Assistance Grant Program) to
fund a Salt and Nutrient management Plan.
DISADVANTAGES:
By approving the amended agreement, the City will need to pay its share of the cost, which
is approximately 31 % according to the Arroyo Grande Groundwater Basin Management
Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
