This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) invites qualified respondents interested in providing professional services to Plumas County, in association with Indian Valley Community Services District (IVCSD), for the described Plumas County Round Valley Reservoir (Reservoir) Climate Adaptation and Nature Based Solutions (NBS) Project Scoping (Project #PA01850) scope of work in Section 2 of this RFQ. The project will identify mitigation activities to protect critical water services and water security functions and enhance resilience against current and future risks to the Reservoir caused by recurring wildfires, increased flooding and erosional risks, and the expanding impacts of drought and climate change. The project seeks to advance comprehensive planning, technical analyses, and stakeholder engagement to address: o infrastructure failure including its water supply and conveyance infrastructure, o landslide/debris flow, and o drought risks. The project will identify (at least) three alternative mitigation activities (projects). Types of activities explored will include: o enhancing reservoir capacity, o stabilizing banks, and o reducing sedimentation to combat drought. Water scarcity challenges due to drought, climate change, landslides, and debris flow are exacerbated by wildfires impacting the Reservoir's capacity, necessitating activities like erosion barrier installation for disaster recovery and mitigation. The project outcome will be the selection and conceptual design of the preferred and most effective mitigation strategy, focusing on: o climate resilience, o future conditions, o current site conditions, o geotechnical investigations, o stakeholder engagement, and o partnership building. The Round Valley Reservoir (Attachment 2) is located within the Upper Feather River Watershed which drains 3,200 square miles of land area within four (4) counties, including Plumas, Butte, Sierra, and Lassen. The Upper Feather River Watershed supplies approximately 3.2 million acrefeet per year for downstream water users. The watershed population of 33,000 includes those residing in Greenville and Indian Valley. The Lower Wolf Creek Sub-watershed is a priority area for restoration as identified by the Plumas National Forest. The Reservoir has 4,075 acre-feet of capacity and is approximately 425 acres in size, operated by IVCSD. The Reservoir serves to support water security and a source of non-potable supply for all communities in the IVCSD service area, as well as a source of redundancy in water security.
