Drinking Water Source Assessment and Protection Program for SDF Wells 7-11

The work requested under this contract involves conducting Drinking Water Source Assessment and Protection (DWSAP) evaluations for SDF Wells 7-11, in accordance with the standards outlined in the California DWSAP Guidance document (Exhibit A). The Consultant will use the original DWSAP from 2002 (Exhibit B) as an example assessment. The primary objectives of this DWSAP source assessment are to delineate the area around each SDF well through which contaminants could potentially move and reach the drinking water supply, to inventory activities within the delineated area that might result in the release of microbiological or chemical contaminants, and to determine the extent to which each drinking water source may be vulnerable to contamination. The DWSAP is an integral part of the Authority's wellhead protection program. The contract requirements specify that the Consultant's scope of work must include, at a minimum, the following tasks: Project Management; Kickoff Meeting, Data Needs and Review; Location and Delineation of Source Area & Protection Zones; Drinking Water Physical Barrier Effectiveness Checklist; Inventory of Possible Contamination Activities (PCAs); Vulnerability Ranking; Assessment Map; and Completion of Assessment and Summary Report. Detailed procedural requirements for each task are provided in the RFP document. Interested parties should refer to the RFP for a comprehensive breakdown of each task.
