RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Professional
Services Agreement with Woodard and Curran, lnc., of
Sacramento, for consulting services to prepare Water Utility Risk
and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response Plan, in the amount of $88,600.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency is now enforcing new
regulations that require all community water systems that serve more
than 3,300 persons to comply with the 2018 America's Water
lnfrastructure Act (AWIA) (Exhibit A). AWIA requires allwater suppliers to develop a Risk and Resilience
Assessment (RRA) that considers the risks to their water systems from malevolent acts, as well as, natural
hazards. lt also requires water suppliers to develop or update their Emergency Response Plan (ERP).
The RRA, due by December 31 2020, will include an evaluation of the risk and resilience of pipes and
conveyances, physical barriers, source water, intakes, treatment (including the use, storage, and handling
of various chemicals), storage and distribution facilities, as well as, electronic, computer, and other
automated systems including the security of such systems. The evaluation must also include the City's
monitoring practices, financial infrastructure, and operation and maintenance protocols. The ERP will be
based on the results of the RRA and must be completed by June 30,2021.
Woodard and Curran, lnc., formally RMC, prepared the City's last two Urban Water Management Plans.
Staff is very satisfied with its previous work and believes their familiarity with the City's water system will
streamline delivery of a quality product, on time and at a reasonable cost. Their proposal includes a scope
to meet AWIA's baseline requirements, plus optional tasks designed to aid in creating an actionable plan
for mitigating risk and providing updated training on the ERP.
Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreement with Woodard
and Curran, lnc., of Sacramento, for consulting services to prepare Water Utility Risk and Resilience
Assessment and Emergency Response Plan, in the amount of $88,600.
FISCAL IMPACT: These new requirements are mandated by the EPA. Failure to comply
could result in violations. This work does not impact the General Fund.
