This is a Price Proposal form for groundwater modeling and reporting services submitted to West Basin Municipal Water District in support of the West Coast Basin Barrier Project (WCBBP). The contract encompasses a five-year term with annual deliverables and specific additional requirements in the final year. Core services include check-in or kick-off meetings, groundwater model updates with recalibration as needed, preparation of annual technical memoranda, and provision of updated model files. Year 5 includes two additional mandatory tasks: preparation of a five-year technical memorandum and review and stamping of a five-year engineering report by a licensed professional geologist. The scope allows for optional tasks to be proposed by the consultant and implemented at West Basin's discretion. The groundwater modeling work supports the WCBBP's hydraulic barrier system designed to prevent seawater intrusion and is required by Barrier permit R4-2006-0069 issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The Price Proposal form requires bidders to populate approximate hours and pricing for each task across all five contract years, with separate line items for optional tasks. Contract costs are calculated automatically based on the pricing data entered for each year, with totals provided for each individual year and a comprehensive five-year contract cost summary. The form distinguishes between the annual report cost and the five-year report cost in Year 5, allowing for transparent pricing of these distinct deliverables. All pricing fields are clearly marked for bidder completion, and the document provides flexibility for consultants to propose alternative or additional tasks beyond the standard scope with corresponding cost estimates.
