Item No: 1.



06/12
FROM: Executive Director Cullem

SUBJECT: Receive Report on RFP Process for the Value Engineering (VE) Study of the
Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) and Approve Selection of
Rick Riedl as TAC Representative on the VE Review Committee

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the TAC confirm the selection of TAC member Riedl to serve on the VE
review committee.

DISCUSSION:
Section V., Category A.2 of the Governance Committee Agreement specifies that the
Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to California American Water (Cal-Am)
on selection of professional engineer to perform a value engineering analysis for the
Desalination Project. The Committee will consider adoption of a process for selection of a value
engineer.
At its meeting of March 31, 2014, the Governance Committee voted to advertise, select, and
award a contract for a Value Engineering study on Cal Ams Desal project at the 30% design
level. The Governance agreement currently allows the Committee to select the VE consultant,
but it will be modified to have the Committee advertise and award the contract in lieu of Cal Am
doing so.
Since the Governance Committee had no way to award contracts, and since time was of the
essence, the Water Authority was requested to advertise the RFP, select the consultant, and
award a contract.
The TAC reviewed the draft RFP and scope of work for the VE and its comments were
incorporated into the final versions. The Authority advertised the RFP on April 17 and proposals
are due on May 12. The Authority will conduct the proposal review May 14 and 15, and provide
the consultant ranking to the GC. On May 23 the GC will select the consultant. Subsequently,
the Water Authority will award and administer the contract.
The Executive Director has recommended that Rick Riedl (Seaside and TAC), Jeff Krebs (City
of Monterey), an engineer from the MPWMD (to be named), and a non-voting representative of
Cal-Am (to be named) serve as the review committee to make a consultant recommendation to
the GC.

pay for the VE study, with the full cost to be reimbursed by Cal-Am per the Governance
Agreement.
