Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Yolo County has been working to address significant water quality issues in the North Davis Meadows (NDM) County Service Area (CSA) for over a decade. In 2017, the NDM community expressed an interest in connecting to the City of Davis for water service to address water quality concerns (the "Water Consolidation Project"). Financing for this project began in 2018, and additional engineering was completed at that time. After a litigation delay that was resolved in favor of the County, the Water Consolidation Project resumed. A construction bid was posted in the spring of 2024. The County received a total of five bids, with Soracco, Inc. providing the lowest responsive and responsible bid at approximately $3.6 million. The Board of Supervisors approved the award of the construction contract to Soracco, Inc. on August 27, 2024, and the County issued the Notice to Proceed on September 30, 2024. Construction began in October 2024. Construction is currently delayed due to water pressure issues communicated by the City of Davis.
Ponticello has been instrumental in providing project management services for the Water Consolidation Project. As part of its services, Ponticello has assisted with ensuring the Water Consolidation Project stays within budget, coordinated with the State Water Resources Control Board for grant administration, monitored construction activities, and coordinated with the City of Davis, permitting agencies, and/or other entities as needed. The term of the current contract (Attachment A) expires on December 31, 2025. Under the proposed Amendment No. 11 (Attachment B and Attachment C), the contract would be extended through February 28, 2026 (the current grant deadline from the State Water Resources Control Board). The maximum compensation is proposed to be increased by $10,000, for a contract maximum of $285,000. If further amendments are needed, County staff would return to the Board of Supervisors for direction.
