meetings via teleconference. Our project design and cost engineer will participate in the two meetings
via teleconference to discuss project feasibility and costs. Following all meetings, we will prepare a
summary and all comments received by the GSA or DWR, along with GSA responses.

Task 10 – DWR Grant Administration
For Task 10, we will manage the grant agreement ensuring compliance with grant requirements and
provision of supporting grant documentation as required by DWR. We will work closely with YGSA staff
and prepare and submit the anticipated 14 quarterly invoices and progress reports and final grant
completion report to DWR. Additionally, we will communicate with all YGSA members to keep them
apprised of the GSP grant status.
Task 11 – Project Management

Effective project management is essential to providing high‐quality services at the right time and within
budget. Todd Groundwater has developed reliable project management methods for coordination of
team efforts, quality control and adherence to the project scope, schedule, and budget. This task
includes coordination of staffing, schedule milestones, budget allocation, and reporting requirements.
Todd Groundwater will track schedule and budget on a monthly basis and track document requirements
for the GSP. Invoices will clearly show team members, hours, costs, and progress on project tasks. A
monthly progress report will be prepared for each invoice showing progress made during the month,
next steps for the following billing cycle, and status of both schedule and budget. The project team will
conduct a progress report conference calls to ensure coordination among tasks and sharing of
information and data. Communication with YGSA would be done by teleconference. For budgeting
purposes, we have assumed participation by all key team members at a Project Kickoff Meeting and have
assumed twelve (12) conference calls with YGSA staff for the duration of the project.
Work progress will be effectively tracked and obstacles will be identified at the earliest possible time.
Team members will meet to coordinate work tasks with close collaboration and coordinated work
sessions, as needed. This regular communication assists in maintaining adherence to the project
schedule and allows for “course correction”, if needed, in a timely manner.
Project Team

Todd Groundwater offers a strong technical team dedicated to working closely with the YGSA staff to
develop a successful GSP. We have partnered with MIG Consulting (Pasadena, CA) and CWE Corp
(Fullerton) to provide the full breadth of services required for the successful completion of this project.
Our Project Team has decades of experience in key areas that will benefit this project including:
 Knowledge of SGMA compliance, GSP regulations, and BMP guidelines

 Basin management involving plans and policies, hydrogeologic conceptual models, assessment of
recharge projects using numerical models, and establishment of water monitoring programs
 Feasibility evaluation, design, and cost estimation for in‐channel recharge facilities and re‐purposing
of stormwater detention basins and wastewater ponds
 Development and implementation of custom‐tailored public outreach plans

 Local experience working with YGSA members on evaluating projects to meet sustainability goals.
