August 31, 2022 The County's response to questions posted on Bonfire E-Procurement Platform at portal. Local entities in Solano County through various efforts have developed multiple planning documents, tools and suites of potential projects to help evaluate and/or solve complex problems associated with water supply or flood management. Many of the strategies and projects were developed to address a single problem, such as mitigation of flood impacts in a designated location or providing a water supply for a localized area. Rather than individual interest groups seeking to solve the water supply / flood challenges separately, there are opportunities for collaboration to re-evaluate the suite of programs, strategies and projects in order to seek comprehensive, sustainable, equitable, and integrated solutions supported by all as a One Water approach. Example projects include; watershed-level planning to incorporate water and drainage infrastructure that will reduce downstream flooding and increase water availability by utilizing farms and conservation lands as seasonal recharge for groundwater storage, evaluation of water system consolidations for supply reliability, and identification of key target areas for focused projects for watershed improvements. One Water approach recognizes that all water has value and can be managed carefully to maximize its benefits such as integrating drainage systems to recharge groundwater supplies and/or enhance ecosystem services thereby achieving multi-beneficial solutions Project Description The Contractor shall perform all necessary travel, professional analysis, outreach, and work required to prepare a One Water Framework as a basis by which a master integrated water management plan will be developed for implementation as a future project. The Framework integrates water management goals and implementation of water supply, wastewater/recycled water, stormwater/drainage and flood protection along with watershed stewardship and agricultural sustainability within unincorporated county- wide region in a holistic manner by evaluating and prioritizing previously proposed projects for multiple benefits. Key multi-benefit project components will be aligned into projects to optimize near-term and long-term priorities and prepare for future funding opportunities. The Contractor will coordinate with representative federal, state, and local entities and stakeholder to gather and re-examine programs and projects, coordinating with stakeholders to identify criteria and priorities, and recommended actions for the Framework though an outreach process. The Framework will be developed in a phased approach through a collaborative process including, 1) Re-evaluate the suite of previously proposed water supply, wastewater/recycled water, and stormwater/drainage programs and projects in the unincorporated County through a multi-benefit approach and identify collaborators and partners to develop water management goals and objectives, 2) Develop criteria and priority projects for implementation consideration with a focus on water supply and stormwater/drainage projects, and 3) Explore financing strategies and funding source(s) to develop pilot projects. This project will result in a comprehensive list of integrated priority water resource projects and action recommendations that can be implemented in the unincorporated County The County intends to award one (1) two-year contract with an estimated cost not to exceed $300,000 to the responsible proposer whose proposal is determined to be the most responsive to the requirements of this RFP. The County reserves the right to expand or reduce the proposed scope of work during the contract negotiations based on budget constraints and to award to a single proposer or multiple proposers. The term of the resulting contract(s) will begin in November 7, 2022 and terminate in June 30, 2024. Nov 7, 2022 Project commences
