Compensation is structured according to equipment type, labor classifications, and material handling as specified in rate schedules within the agreement.

The contract framework is designed to facilitate rapid deployment of specialized equipment and expertise for seasonal and emergency basin maintenance activities across multiple groundwater recharge facilities in San Bernardino County. Contractor qualifications necessary to support the County's groundwater management and basin maintenance operations are specified in the Master Services Agreement document.
