                                          MEMORANDUM NO. 18-03

               Date:                    February 7, 2018

               From:                    Joseph Zoba, Treasurer

               Subject:                 Discussion Regarding Task Order No. 15 with ALDA Inc. for the
                                        Preparation of the 2017 Consolidated Annual Report, Estimate of
                                        the  Basin  Safe  Yield,  Update  of  the  Groundwater  Model,  and
                                        Associated Consulting Services for 2018

               Recommendation:          That the Watermaster Committee approves Task Order No. 15 for
                                        a  sum  not  to  exceed  $95,970  and  invoice  the  Watermaster
                                        members accordingly.


               A  new  task  order  is  necessary  to  authorize  ALDA  Inc.  to  provide  technical  support
               services to the Watermaster Committee during Calendar Year 2018.

               The proposed scope of services for Task Order No. 15, consistent with previous years,
               provides for the preparation of the 2017 Consolidated Annual Report, estimate of the
               2017 Safe Yield of the Beaumont Basin, and Associated Consulting Services in support
               to Watermaster activities during 2018.  In addition, this task order incorporates the annual
               update of the groundwater model to 2017 hydrologic conditions.

               The estimated cost of completion is based on the amended rates for 2017-21 calendar
               years and it is the same cost used under Task Order No. 12 for similar services provided
               during calendar year 2017.

               The financial impacts associated with the proposed contract would result in a budget line
               item of approximately $96,000.00, and if approved would result in an invoice sent to each
               Watermaster Committee member in the amount of $19,194.00.
