SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Lakewood, California is seeking a vendor to provide optimization study services related to groundwater pumping operations and associated infrastructure planning. The selected contractor will support stakeholder engagement by developing agendas and facilitating meetings with rights holders and other stakeholders.
The study will document current groundwater pumping operations, infrastructure constraints, future planning needs, and stakeholder interest and capacity to expand pumping or pursue alternative operating scenarios. The work also includes reviewing and reconciling stakeholder input with existing planning documents, identifying opportunities for alignment or integration, and assessing potential policy, operational, or infrastructure incompatibilities.
In addition, the contractor will evaluate infrastructure needs for conveyance, treatment, and storage to support expanded replenishment and extraction, including potential cost-sharing opportunities. The final deliverables are expected to include a comparison matrix based on technical feasibility, basin yield benefit, infrastructure complexity, stakeholder support, and cost-effectiveness, along with phased implementation recommendations. Questions are due by August 7, 2026.
