Director Memorandum 17-059

Date: July 18, 2017

Prepared By: Jennifer Ares, Water Resource Manager
Ashley Gibson, Water Resource Project Supervisor
Subject: Consideration of a Contract with Dudek for Technical Assistance to Obtain
Groundwater Level Monitoring Equipment at Seven Locations in the Yucaipa
Basin

Recommendation: That the Board authorizes the Water Resource Manager to execute the
Authorization to Proceed with Dudek for a sum not to exceed $10,775.

The District has installed remote telemetry data loggers in several wells in San Timoteo Creek to
monitor the groundwater levels for the required Habitat Monitoring Program. In addition, the
District has extensive monitoring requirements for the Maximum Benefit Program and the
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

Currently, well data is collected in the field and compiled in a database, along with analytical
laboratory results for all water quality samples. Installing additional monitoring equipment for the
Maximum Benefit and SGMA will streamline the data gathering and compilation process.

The attached proposal from Dudek includes assisting District staff with the inspection of seven
District wells to determine the specific equipment needs for these sites. Once equipment needs
are identified, a quote for the additional data loggers will be obtained and presented at a board
meeting for approval.

Funding for this agenda item well be split evenly between the following budget line items:
• Water : Professional Fees:02-5-06-54109; and
• Sewer : Professional Fees:03-5-06-54109.
