4. Alternatives Evaluation IN PROGRESS Task 4, which includes most of the technical work to be performed during this study, is underway. BC refined the evaluation criteria based on feedback from the Water Ad Hoc Subcommittee and confirmed the criteria with the subcommittee in January 2023. BC worked with the subcommittee to assign relative weights to the criteria and develop a scoring rubric that will be used for scoring the alternatives. Task 4 is focused on deeper technical analysis of the alternatives (e.g., groundwater modeling to estimate long-term yield and water quality and coordination with City's hydraulic model to estimate ability to distribute future maximum day demands) to further scope the alternatives, score them against the evaluation criteria, and prepare preliminary cost estimates. Once this information is developed, BC will prioritize the alternatives and the preferred alternative will be recommended. 5. Recommendations and Report TO BE COMPLETED BC will present potential project delivery models for design, construction, operation and maintenance, financing, and ownership of the preferred alternative from Task 4 and make a recommendation. BC will prepare draft and final reports summarizing the work performed, presenting the results of the alternatives evaluation, and including an implementation plan for the preferred alternative that includes the recommended project delivery model, major tasks, and milestone schedule. 6. Council Meetings and Engagement IN PROGRESS BC to attend monthly Water Ad Hoc Subcommittee meetings and coordinate with City staff to prepare for meetings, including preparation of slides. BC to attend City Council meetings quarterly and coordinate with City staff to prepare for meetings, including development of slides. This task also includes support of relevant public engagement efforts, such as addressing public comments and questions raised during subcommittee or City Council meetings, as appropriate. Upcoming Next Steps: • Complete technical analysis of alternatives (June 2023) • Score alternatives against evaluation criteria (July 2023) • Perform sensitivity analysis (July 2023) • Finalize cost estimates (July 2023) • Identify preferred alternative and implementation strategy (August 2023) • Prepare draft and final report (September 2023) Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approved by: Tamara Baptista Susan Hsieh Gerry Beaudin Interim Director of Operations Finance Director City Manager and Water Utilities Page 4 of 4
