ATTACHMENT 1 The partners intend for the studies and community outreach/engagement program to be jointly managed by a project/program management team consisting of staff from each agency. This Task Order to the Intergovernmental Reciprocal Services Agreement lists the various studies and programs that the partners will collaborate on and jointly fund and manage, and which Zone 7 will be reimbursed for. These studies/programs include: • Desktop Groundwater Contaminant Mobilization Study • Groundwater Investigations • Injection Well Siting Study • Independent Advisory Panel • Communications Program • Other Efforts in Support of a Regional Potable Reuse Project The scope of work for the studies and programs are further described in Attachment A- "Potable Reuse: Collaborative Studies and Other Efforts". The estimated cost for each element is also listed in Attachment A, along with a preliminary schedule. Note that the program scope of work may be modified based on input from consultants and/or the Independent Advisory Panel. The total cost of partners' shared efforts is $1 million. Although specific tasks, studies, and programs may vary from the amounts shown in Attachment A,the total joint effort will not exceed $1 million without the execution of a subsequent Task Order or amendment by the participating agencies. Initially, the four public water agencies—Zone 7, DSRSD, City of Pleasanton,and City of Livermore—will share in costs up to $250,000 each. These water agencies will encourage the California Water Service Company to seek corporate approval and California Public Utilities Commission approval to participate in costs, up to $200,000. If the California Water Service Company does participate,the portion of each water agency's contribution will be reduced on a pro-rata basis, depending on the level of the California Water Service Company's participation. A separate agreement may be warranted if the California Water Service Company participates at a later time. Partner Responsibilities Zone 7 and the retailers have formed a Steering Committee with representatives from all the agencies to oversee policy issues related to the studies and other program efforts. Additionally, a Project Management Committee consisting of technical staff has been formed to make recommendations on the selection of consultant(s), and the technical work of various studies and programs,with a designated project manager from one of the partner agencies. While California Water Service Company is not a partner in this Task Order, company representatives will participate in the Steering Committee and the Project Management Committee.
