Site work for a water / sewer project in Sacramento, California. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Include project tasks to assess the seismic and storm characteristics for the relevant WEA(s) and advance the design of component(s) to withstand possible conditions. Include project tasks to conduct life cycle and economic assessments, including opportunities to leverage regional and California supply chains. Include a project task to assess environmental impacts from the proposed innovation(s) (e.g., benthic or habitat disturbances, entanglement, installation noise). Teams should include a member with demonstrated expertise to identify and address environmental impacts (e.g., marine biodiversity, mammal entanglement risk and mitigation). Provide a baseline of current technologies, show how the innovation will reduce risk of environmental impacts, and develop a mitigation plan for any negative impacts where design changes are not feasible. This solicitation focuses on advancing the design of floating offshore wind mooring lines and anchors to address the site-specific needs of California's Wind Energy Areas. Projects resulting from this solicitation will optimize costs by developing efficient designs and will reduce the risk of impacts to wildlife and their habitats. Investments in these strategic designs will result in shared knowledge of optimal designs and configurations that could be applied, as appropriate, to various floating offshore wind installations.
