Agenda Item Text:
Approve Professional Services Agreement with JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc. for the Bella Vista Ranch Phase II Aquifer Recharge Feasibility Study in the amount of $223,323.
Background:
~~On December 15, 2015 the Flood Control District Board (Board) approved a grant award agreement with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in which a portion of funds were approved to support an Ephemeral Streamflow monitoring network and a portion to support technical analysis, feasibility and conceptual designs for future recharge related projects. On August 30, 2016 the Board approved an increase in funds to the agreement (AZFO-151124) with TNC for both the Streamflow monitoring and Regional Aquifer Recharge analysis/feasibility/design networks. JE Fuller will provide Professional Services to support the Bella Vista Ranch Phase II Aquifer Recharge Feasibility Study.
TNC and the Walton Family Foundation have been working with Cochise County to design & develop a Regional Aquifer Network to sustain riparian health within the San Pedro River.
