Exhibit C is a consultant core skill and expertise assessment form for West Basin Municipal Water District's On-Call Professional Engineering Services contract opportunity in California. The form requests consulting firms to identify their primary and subconsultant focus areas across a comprehensive range of water infrastructure and engineering disciplines. The listed service categories include technical and feasibility studies, preliminary design reports, project engineering, pipeline design, water treatment facility design, water quality analysis, real estate appraisal, easement and right-of-way acquisition, geotechnical investigations, potholing, traffic engineering, survey engineering, telemetry engineering services, hydraulic modeling, operations and technical assistance, membrane performance monitoring and optimization, instrumentation, cost estimation, and asset management. The form contains blank spaces for consultants to mark their core competencies and add additional specialized areas as needed to demonstrate qualifications for the on-call engagement.

This skills assessment document serves as a qualification verification tool for West Basin to evaluate consultant capabilities against anticipated project needs. Respondents are required to clearly designate which disciplines represent their prime focus areas versus subconsultant focus areas, enabling West Basin to develop a qualified roster of engineering firms capable of supporting its water operations, production, infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement, planning, and customer development initiatives on an as-needed basis. The form's structure allows for flexible identification of expertise across multiple engineering disciplines including civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, process, structural, and architectural services, along with specialized water sector competencies in hydraulic modeling, water quality analysis, and membrane optimization.
