This is a Scope of Work document prepared by the City of Santa Monica for the Santa Monica Groundwater Basin Monitoring Program, which outlines the technical requirements and deliverables for qualified consultants or firms implementing groundwater monitoring, modeling, and technical support activities. The project encompasses comprehensive groundwater basin monitoring including water level measurements, water quality sampling and analysis, geochemical modeling, and data management systems. The consultant is responsible for conducting quarterly monitoring events, analyzing hydrogeological data, preparing annual technical reports, and providing technical support to City staff regarding basin conditions and regulatory compliance. The scope includes establishing and maintaining monitoring well networks, implementing quality assurance and quality control procedures, and developing predictive models for groundwater availability and contamination transport. Specific deliverables include monthly data reports, quarterly technical memoranda, annual comprehensive reports, and real-time data dashboard maintenance for City decision-makers and stakeholders.

The contract will be structured as a professional services agreement with compensation based on a fixed annual fee or time-and-materials billing structure to be negotiated during the proposal evaluation phase. The City anticipates funding this groundwater monitoring program through a combination of water resources management grants, state water quality protection funds, and local groundwater sustainability initiatives. The selected consultant must demonstrate expertise in groundwater hydrology, California water law compliance, and experience with similar basin-scale monitoring programs. The contract term is anticipated to be three to five years with potential renewal options based on performance and funding availability. The consultant must maintain all monitoring data in compliance with California water code requirements and provide transparent reporting suitable for regulatory agencies, local government, and public stakeholder review.
