Award of As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Engineering Services
Contract for Fiscal Years 2011,2012,and 2013
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
authorizes the General Manager to enter into an agreement for
professional services for As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Services with
Narasimhan Consulting Services,Inc.(NCS)in an amount not-to-
exceed $175,000 during Fiscal Years 2011,2012 and 2013 (ending
June 3 0,2013).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the award of a professional
services contract for hydraulic modeling services on an as-needed
basis with NCS.The contract amount is not-to-exceed $175,000 for
Fiscal Years 2011, 2012,and 2013.
ANALYSIS:
The District will require the professional services of a hydraulic
modeling consultant on an as-needed basis in support of the
District's Fiscal Years 2011,2012,and 2013 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP)projects,developer funded studies,Engineering
planning studies,Information Technology studies.These services
will also be used to integrate GIS updates into the existing model
and support Operations in the field.The As-Needed Hydraulic
Modeling Engineering Services contract will provide the District
with the ability to obtain consulting services in a timely and
efficient manner and on an as-needed basis.
The District will require the expertise of a hydraulic modeling
consultant to maintain the current hydraulic model developed with
the Water Resource Master Plan completed last year.This will
include integrating new facilities or GIS updates into the model and
performing planning studies for the Engineering,Operations,and
Information Technology departments.The consultant will perform
fire flow calculations in support of new or existing developments
and prepare developer funded studies.
It is more efficient and cost effective to issue a contract on an
as-needed basis.This concept has also been used in the past for
other disciplines like civil engineering,geotechnical,electrical,
and environmental services.
The District will issue task orders to the consultant for specific
projects during the contract period.The consultant will prepare a
detailed scope of work,schedule,and cost estimate for each task
order assigned under the contract.Upon written task order
authorization from the District,the consultant shall then proceed
with the project as described in the scope of work.
The CIP projects that are estimated to require hydraulic modeling
services for Fiscal Years 2011,2012,and 2013,at this time,are
listed below:
CIP DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED COST
P2451 Otay Mesa Conveyance and Disinfection System $20,000
P2083 PS 870-2 Pump Station Replacement $15,000
P2502 803-1 Pump Station Modifications $10,000
P2503 850-2 Pump Station Modifications $10,000
P2511 North District-South District Interconnection $15,000
P2473 PS 711-1 Pump Station Improvements $10,000
R2091 Rec PS 944-1 Pump Station Upgrade $10,000
P2434 Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well Development $10,000
R2058 Rec PL Airway Road-Otay Mesa Road $10,000
R2077 Rec PL Alta Road $10,000
R2087 Rec PL Wueste Road $10,000
TOTAL:$130,000
The hydraulic modeling services scopes for the above projects are
estimated from preliminary information and past projects.
2
Therefore,staff believes that a $175,000 cap on the As-Needed
Hydraulic Modeling Services contract is adequate,while still
providing a buffer.
The contract is not-to-exceed $175,000 for all task orders.Fees
for professional services will be charged to the CIP projects or to
the Fiscal Year Operations budget.
This As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling Engineering Services contract does
not commit the District to any expenditure until a task order is
approved to perform work.The District does not guarantee work to
the consultant,nor does the District guarantee to the consultant
that it will expend all of the funds authorized by the contract on
professional services.
The District solicited hydraulic modeling engineering services by
placing an advertisement on the District website,San Diego Union
Tribune,and the San Diego Daily Transcript.Sixteen (16)firms
submitted a letter of interest and a statement of qualifications.
The Request for Proposal (RFP)for As-Needed Hydraulic Modeling
Services was sent to all sixteen (16)firms resulting in five (5)
proposals received on February 11,2011.They are as follows:
•Stetson Engineers,Inc.
•Aegis Engineering Management
•Narasimhan Consulting Services,Inc.
•PBS&J",an Atkins Company
•IDModel ing
The nine (9)firms that chose not to propose are Lee &Ro,Inc.,
J.C.Heden and Associates,Inc.,DHI Water &Environment,Inc.,
Proteus Consulting,CVALDO Corporation,Poggemeyer Design Group,
Ludwig Engineering,RBF Consulting,and Marrs Services,Inc.Two
other firms,Psomas and Northwest Hydraulic Consultants joined with
IDModeling as sub-consultants.
In accordance with the District's Policy 21,staff evaluated and
scored all written proposals.NCS received the highest score for
their services based on their experience,understanding of the scope
of work,proposed method to accomplish the work,and their composite
hourly rate.NCS was the most qualified consultant with the best
overall proposal.The District has not worked with NCS on any
project,but they are a highly rated company and are readily
available to provide the services required.A summary of the
complete evaluation is shown in Attachments B.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds for this contract will be expended from various CIP
project budgets and the Operating budget.The fees for professional
services requested herein are available in the authorized CIP
project budgets and in the Fiscal Year 2011 Operating budget.This
contract is for professional services based on the District's need
and schedule,and expenditures will not be made until a task order
is approved by the District for the consultant's professional
services on a specific project.
The Project Manager anticipates that the Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013
budgets will be sufficient to support the professional services

Approval of Water pply Assessment Report (February 2011)
for the Rabago Technology Park
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (Distr'ct)Board of Directors
(Board)approve the Water Supply Assessment Report (WSA Report)
dated February 2011 for the Rabago Technology Park (Rabago)
Project,as required by Senate Bill 610 (see Exhibit A for
Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board approval of the February 2011 WSA Report for the
Rabago Project,as required by Senate Bill 610 (SB 610).
ANALYSIS:
SB 610 requires a city or county to evaluate whether total water
supplies will meet the projected water demand for certain
"projects"that are otherwise subject to the requirement of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).SB 610 provides
its own definition of "project"in Water Code Section 10912.
The County of San Diego (County)submitted a request for a WSA
to the District pursuant to SB 610.SB 610 requires that,upon
request of the city or county,a water purveyor,such as the
District,prepare a water supply assessment to be included in
the CEQA documentation.
The requirements of SB 610 are addressed by the WSA Report for
the Rabago Project.Prior to transmittal to the County,the WSA
Report must be approved by the District Board.Additional
information of the intent of SB 610 is provided in Exhibit Band
the Rabago Project WSA Report is attached as Exhibit C.
For the Rabago Project,the County is the responsible land use
agency that requested the SB 610 water supply assessment from
the District,as the water purveyor for the proposed Rabago
Technology Park Project.The request for the WSA Report,in
compliance with SB 610 requirements,was made by the County
because the Rabago Project meets or exceeds one or both of the
following SB 610 criteria:
• A proposed industrial,manufacturing or processing plant,
or industrial park planned to house more than 1,000
persons,occupying more than 40 acres of land,or having
more than 650,000 square feet of area .
• A project that would demand an amount of water equivalent
to,or greater than,the amount of water required by a 500
dwelling unit project.
The Rabago Project development plan proposes the development of
19 industrial business park lots on 71.1 acres.
The District,as the proposed water purveyor for the Rabago
Project,does not have to comply with the requirements of Senate
Bill 221 (SB 221)because the Project is an industrial
subdivision and SB 221 applies to residential subdivisions.
Pursuant to SB 610,the WSA Report incorporates by reference the
current Urban Water Management Plans and other water resources
planning documents of the District,the San Diego County Water
Authority (Water Authority),and the Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California (Metropolitan).The District prepared
the WSA Report in consultation with Dexter Wilson Engineering,
Inc.,and the Water Authority which demonstrates and documents
that sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended
to be made available over a 20-year planning horizon under
2
supply conditions and in single and multiple dry years to meet
the projected demand of the Rabago Project and other planned
development projects within the District.
The expected demand for the Rabago Project is 67.5 acre-feet per
year.This is consistent with the estimated demands in the
District's 2009 Water Resources Master Plan Updated November
2010 (WRMP).The projected recycled water demand for the Rabago
Project is 8.7 acre-feet per year,representing about 11 percent
of the total water demand.
Metropolitan's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)identifies a mix
of resources (imported and local)that,when implemented,will
provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through
the attainment of regional targets set for conservation,local
supplies,State Water Project supplies,Colorado River supplies,
groundwater banking,and water transfers.Metropolitan's 2010
update to the IRP (2010 IRP Update)includes a water supply
planning buffer to mitigate the risk associated with
implementation of local and imported supply programs.The
planning buffer identifies an additional increment of water that
could potentially be developed if other supplies are not
implemented as planned.As part of the establishment of the
planning buffer,Metropolitan periodically evaluates supply
development to ensure that the region is not under-or over-
developing supplies.If managed properly,the planning buffer,
along with other alternative supplies,will help ensure that the
Southern California region,including San Diego County,will
have adequate supplies to meet future demands.
The County Water Authority Act,Section 5,Subdivision 11,
states the Water Authority,"as far as practicable,shall
provide each of its member agencies with adequate supplies of
water to meet their expanding and increasing needs."
The intent of the SB 610 legislation is that the land use
agencies and the water agencies coordinate their efforts in
planning for new development and thus plan for sufficient water
supplies to meet the needs.
As per the requirements of SB 610,if the water supply
assessment finds that the supply is sufficient,then the
governing body of the water supplier (District)must approve the
water supply assessment and deliver it to the lead agency
(County)within 90 days.The County's WSA request letter dated
December 22,2010 was received by the District January 10,2011.
At the request of the District,the County of San Diego modified
3
the SB Compliance Request letter February 8,2010 to focus the
request for the Rabago Technology Park to comply with S8 610.
Pursuant to SB 610,if the water supply assessment finds overall
supplies are insufficient,the water supplier shall provide to
the lead agency "its plans for acquiring additional water
supplies,setting forth measures that are being undertaken to
acquire and develop those water supplies,"and the water
supplier governing body must approve the assessment and deliver
it to the lead agency within 90 days.If the water supplier
does conclude that additional water supplies are required,the
water supplier should indicate the status or stage of
development of the actions identified in the plans it provides.
Identification of a potential future action in such plans does
not by itself indicate that a decision to approve or to proceed
with the action has been made.
Once either of the two actions listed above are accomplished,
the District's S8 610 water supply assessment responsibilities
are complete.
S8 610 provides that if the SB 610 water supply assessment is
not received by the lead agency from the water supplier within
the prescribed 90 day period,and any requested time extension,
the lead agency may seek legal relief,such as writ of mandamus.
The County's request letter dated December 22,2010 was received
by the District January 10,2011 so the 90 day deadline for the
District to provide the WSA Report to the County is April 9,
2011.
Water supply agencies throughout California continue to face
climatological,environmental,legal,and other challenges that
impact water source supply conditions,such as the court ruling
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta issues.Challenges
such as these are always present.The regional water supply
agencies,the Water Authority,Metropolitan,and the District
nevertheless fully intend to have sufficient,reliable supplies
to serve the Rabago Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
~
The District has been reimbursed $8,000 for all costs associated
with the preparation of the Rabago Project WSA Report.The
reimbursement was accomplished via an $8,000 deposit the Project
proponents placed with the District on February 2,2011.
4
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The preparation and approval of the Rabago Project WSA Report
supports the District's Mission statement,liTo provide the best
quality of water and wastewater services to the customers of the
Otay Water District,in a professional,effective,and efficient
manner"and the District's Strategic Goal,in planning for
infrastructure and supply to meet current and future potable
water demands.
LEGAL IMPACT:
Approval of a WSA Report for the Rabago Project in form and
content satisfactory to the Board of Directors would allow the
District to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 610.

Background Information
The Otay Water District (District)prepared the February 2011 Water Supply
Assessment Report (WSA Report)for the Rabago Technology Park Project (Rabago
Project)development proposal at the request of the County of San Diego (County).
The County's WSA request letter dated December 22,2010 was received by the
District on January 10,2011 so the 90 day deadline for the District to provide the
Board approved WSA Report to the County ends April 9,2011.The Rabago
Investment Group LLC,A California Limited Liability Company submitted an
entitlement application to the County for the development of the Rabago Project.
The Rabago Project is located within the jurisdictions of the District,the San Diego
County Water Authority (Water Authority),and the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (Metropolitan).See Exhibit A for Project location.To obtain
permanent imported water supply service,land areas are required to be within the
jurisdictions of the District,Water Authority,and Metropolitan.
The February 2011 WSA Report for the Rabago Project has been prepared by the
District in consultation with Dexter Wilson Engineering,Inc.,the Water Authority,and
the County pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151.9 and California Water
Code Sections 10631,10656,10910,10911,10912,and 10915 referred to as
Senate Bill (SB)610.SB 610 amended state law,effective January 1,2002,
intending to improve the link between information on water supply availability and
certain land use decisions made by cities and counties.SB 610 requires that the
water purveyor of the public water system prepare a water supply assessment to be
included in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)environmental
documentation and approval process of certain proposed projects.The requirements
of SB 610 are addressed in the February 2011 WSA Report for the Rabago Project.
The Rabago Investment Group,LLC proposes the development of 19 industrial
business park lots on 71.1 acres.
The expected demands for the Rabago Project is 60,290 gallons per day (gpd)or
about 67.5 acre feet per year (ac-ft/yr).This is consistent with the estimated
demands in the District's Water Resource Master Plan Updated November 2010
(WRMP).The projected recycled water demand for the proposed Rabago Project is
approximately 7,740 gpd pr 8.7 ac-ft/yr,representing about 11 %of the total Rabago
Project water demand.
The District currently depends on the Water Authority and the Metropolitan for all of
its potable water supplies and regional water resource planning.
The District's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP)relies heavily on the
UWMP's and Integrated Water Resources Plans (IRPs)of the Water Authority and
Metropolitan for documentation of supplies available to meet projected demands.
These plans are developed to manage the uncertainties and variability of multiple
supply sources and demands over the long-term through preferred water resources
strategy adoption and resource development target approvals for implementation.
The new uncertainties that are significantly affecting California's water resources
include:
•The recent Federal Court ruling on previous operational limits on Sacramento-
San Joaquin Delta to protect the Delta species;Water agencies are still trying
to determine what effect the ruling will have on state water project deliveries.
Actual supply curtailments for Metropolitan are contingent upon fish
distribution,behavioral patterns,weather,Delta flow conditions,and how water
supply reductions are divided between state and federal projects.
•Extended drought conditions.
These uncertainties have rightly caused concern among Southern California water
supply agencies regarding the validity of the current water supply documentation.
Metropolitan's October 9,2007 IRP Implementation Report acknowledges that
significant challenges in some resource areas will likely require changes in strategies
and implementation approaches in order to reach long-term IRP water supply targets.
Significant progress in program implementation is being realized in most resource
areas.However,a further examination of the uncertainty of State Water Project
supplies,among other uncertainties,will be required to assess the ability of achieving
the long-term IRP targets.
Metropolitan is currently involved in several proceedings concerning Delta operations
to evaluate and address environmental concerns.In addition,at the State level,the
Delta Vision and Bay-Delta Conservation Plan processes are defining long-term
solutions for the Delta.Metropolitan is actively engaged in these processes and in
October 2010,approved the update of their IRP.An approved implementation
strategy update may not be forthcoming for a year or more.
The State Water Project (SWP)represents approximately 9%of Metropolitan's 2025
Dry Resources Mix with the supply buffer included.A 22%cutback in SWP supply
represents an overall 2%(22%of 9%is 2%)cutback in Metropolitan supplies in
2025.Neither the Water Authority nor Metropolitan has stated that there is
insufficient water for future planning in Southern California.Each agency is in the
process of reassessing and reallocating their water resources.
Under preferential rights,Metropolitan can allocate water without regard to historic
water purchases or dependence on Metropolitan.Therefore,the Water Authority and
its member agencies are taking measures to reduce dependence on Metropolitan

through development of additional supplies and a water supply portfolio that would
not be jeopardized by a preferential rights allocation.
As calculated by Metropolitan,the Water Authority's current preferential right is
17.22%of Metropolitan's supply,while the Water Authority accounted for
approximately 25%of Metropolitan's total revenue.So Metropolitan could
theoretically take a 7.8%cut out of the Water Authority's supply and theoretically,the
Water Authority should have alternative water supply sources to make up for the
difference.
In the Water Authority's 2005 UWMP,they had already planned to reduce reliance on
Metropolitan supplies to 372,922 acre-feet per year by 2030,which is a 28%
reduction from the Fiscal Year 2005 Water Authority purchase from Metropolitan.
This reduction is planned to be achieved through diversification of their water supply
portfolio.
The Water Authority's Drought Management Plan (May 2006)provides the Water
Authority and its member agencies with a series of potential actions to engage when
faced with a shortage of imported water supplies due to prolonged drought
conditions.Such actions help avoid or minimize impacts of shortages and ensure an
equitable allocation of supplies throughout the San Diego County region.
The District Board of Directors should acknowledge the ever-present challenge of
balancing water supply with demand and the inherent need to possess a flexible and
adaptable water supply implementation strategy that can be relied upon during
normal and dry weather conditions.The responsible regional water supply agencies
have and will continue to adapt their resource plans and strategies to meet
climatological,environmental,and legal challenges so that they may continue to
provide water supplies to their service areas.The regional water suppliers (Le.,the
Water Authority and Metropolitan),along with the District,fully intend to maintain
sufficient reliable supplies through the 20-year planning horizon under normal,single,
and multiple dry year conditions to meet projected demand of the Rabago Project,
along with existing and other planned development projects within the District's
service area.
If the regional water suppliers determine additional water supplies will be required,or
in this case,that water supply portfolios need to be reassessed and redistributed with
the intent to serve the existing and future water needs throughout Southern
California,the agencies must indicate the status or stage of development of actions
identified in the plans they provide.Metropolitan's 2010 IRP update will then cause
the Water Authority to update its IRP and UWMP,which will then provide the District
with the necessary water supply documentation.Identification of a potential future
action in such plans does not by itself indicate that a decision to approve or to
proceed with the action has been made.The District's Board approval of the Rabago
Project WSA Report does not in any way guarantee water supply to the Rabago
Project.
3
Alternatively,if the WSA Report is written to state that water supply is or will be
unavailable;the District must include,in the assessment,a plan to acquire additional
water supplies.At this time,the District should not state there is insufficient water
supply.
So the best the District can do right now is to state the current water supply situation
clearly,indicating intent to provide supply through reassessment and reallocation by
the regional,as well as,the local water suppliers.In doing so,it is believed that the
Board has met the intent of the SB 610 statute,that the land use agencies and the
water agencies are coordinating their efforts in planning water supplies for new
development.
With District Board approval of the Rabago Project WSA Report,the Project
proponents can proceed with the draft environmental documentation required for the
CEQA review process.The water supply issues will be addressed in these
environmental documents,consistent with the WSA Report.
The District,as well as others,can comment on the draft EIR with recommendations
that water conservation measures and actions be employed on the Rabago Project.
Some recent actions regarding water supply assessments and verification reports by
entities within Southern California are as follows:
•The City approved water supply assessment reports for both the La Jolla
Crossings Project and the Quarry Falls Project in September 2007.
•Padre Dam Municipal Water District approved a water supply assessment
report for the City of Santee's Fanita Ranch development project in April 2006.
In October 2007,a follow-up letter was prepared stating the current
uncertainties associated with the regional water supply situation.However,
the letter concludes that sufficient water exists over the long run in reliance
upon the assurances,plans,and projections of the regional water suppliers
(Metropolitan and Water Authority).
•The District unanimously approved in July 2007 the Eastern Urban Center
Water Supply and Assessment Report.The Board also approved the Judd
Company Otay Crossings Commerce Park WSA Report on December 5,2007
and the Otay Ranch L.P.Otay Ranch Preserve and Resort Project Water
Supply Assessment and Verification Report on February 4,2009.
•The District approved water supply assessment and verification reports for the
City of Chula Vista Village 8 West Sectional Plan Area and Village 9 Sectional
Plan Area.The District also approved the water supply assessment report for
the San Diego-Tijuana Cross Border Facility.The Pio Pico Power Plant on
4
Alta Road within the County of San Diego may also require a WSA for the
temporary use of potable water to serve the power plant.
Water supplies necessary to serve the demands of the proposed Rabago Project,
along with existing and other projected future users,as well as the actions necessary
to develop these supplies,have been identified in the water supply planning
documents of the District,the Water Authority,and Metropolitan.
The WSA Report includes,among other information,an identification of existing
water supply entitlements,water rights,water service contracts,or agreements
relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Rabago Project.The
WSA Report demonstrates and documents that sufficient water supplies are planned
and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon,under normal
conditions and in single and multiple dry years to meet the projected demand of the
proposed Rabago Project and the existing and other planned development projects
within the District.
Accordingly,after approval of a WSA Report for the Rabago Project by the District's
Board of Directors,the WSA Report may be used to comply with the requirements of
the legislation enacted by Senate Bills 610 as follows:
Senate Bill (SB)610 Water Supply Assessment:The District's Board of Directors
approved WSA Report may be incorporated into the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)compliance process for the Rabago Project as a water supply
assessment report consistent with the requirements of the legislation enacted by
SB 610.The County,as lead agency under the CEQA for the Rabago Project
environmental documentation,may cite the approved WSA Report as evidence
that a sufficient water supply is planned and intended to be available to serve the
Rabago Project.

Executive Summary
The Otay Water District (WD)prepared this Water Supply Assessment Report (WSA Report)
at the request ofthe County ofSan Diego (County)for the Rabago Technology Park (Rabago)
Project.Rabago Investment Group LLC,a California Limited Liability Company submitted
an entitlement application to the County for the development ofthe Rabago Project.
The Rabago Project is located within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,the San Diego County
Water Authority (Water Authority),and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (Metropolitan).To obtain permanent imported water supply service,land areas are
required to be within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,Water Authority,and Metropolitan..
The Rabago Project development plan proposes the development of 19 industrial business
park lots on 71.1 acres.The development plan is consistent with the East Otay Mesa Specific
Plan.
The expected demands for the Rabago Project is 60,290 gallons per day (gpd)or about 67.5
acre feet per year (ac-ft/yr).This is consistent with the estimated demands in the District's
Water Resource Master Plan Updated November 2010 (WRMP).The projected recycled
water demand for the proposed Rabago Project is approximately 7,740 gpd or 8.7 ac-ft/yr,
representing about 11 %ofthe total Rabago Project water demand.
The Rabago Project development proponents are required to use recycled water for irrigation
and other potential purposes.The primary benefit ofusing recycled water is that it will offset
the potable water demand by an estimated 8.7 ac-ft/yr.The WRMP and 2005 Urban Water
Management Plan (UWMP)anticipated that the Rabago Project site would use both potable
and recycled water.
Planned Imported Water Supplies from the Water Authority and Metropolitan
The Water Authority and Metropolitan have an established process that ensures supplies are
being planned to meet future growth.Any annexations and revisions to established land use

Rabago Technology Park
plans are captured in the San Diego Association ofGovernments (SANDAG)updated
forecasts for land use planning,demographics,and economic projections.SANDAG serves
as the regional,intergovernmental planning agency that develops and provides forecast
information.The Water Authority and Metropolitan update their demand forecasts and
supply needs based on the most recent SANDAG forecast approximately every five years to
coincide with preparation oftheir Urban Water Management Plans (UWMP).Prior to the
next forecast update,local jurisdictions with land use authority may require water supply
assessment and/or verification reports for proposed land developments that are not within the
Otay WD,Water Authority,or Metropolitan jurisdictions (i.e.pending or proposed
annexations)or that have revised land use plans with either lower or higher development
intensities than reflected in the existing growth forecasts.Proposed land areas with pending
or proposed annexations,or revised land use plans,typically result in creating higher demand
and supply requirements than previously anticipated.The Otay WD,Water Authority,and
Metropolitan next demand forecast and supply requirements and associated planning
documents would then capture any increase or decrease in demands and required supplies as a
result ofannexations or revised land use planning decisions.
The California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act),which is included in the
California Water Code,requires all urban water suppliers within the state to prepare an
UWMP and update it every five years.The purpose and importance ofthe UWMP has
evolved since it was first required 25 years ago.State agencies and the public frequently use
the document to determine if agencies are planning adequately to reliably meet future
demands.As such,UWMPs serve as an important element in documenting supply
availability for the purpose ofcompliance with state laws,Senate Bill 610,linking water
supply sufficiency to large land-use development approval.Agencies must also have a
UWMP prepared,pursuant to the Act,in order to be eligible for state funding and drought
assistance.
The Water Authority has started their update to their 2005 UWMP however a new legislative
mandate,SBX 7-7 (2009)requires retail agencies to report their target for a 20 percent
reduction in urban per capita use by December 31,2020.To address the new per capita water
use reduction measures,the bill grants a 6-month extension to urban retail water suppliers to
submit their approved UWMP to the California Department ofWater Resources (DWR)by
July 1,2011.
The District's WRMP updated November,2010 includes the 67.5 acre-foot per year demand
estimate in the District's demand projections that was forwarded to the Water Authority for
inclusion in their UWMP update.The Series 12 update was also used by Metropolitan for
their demand projections for their 2010 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)Update.
Metropolitan's IRP identifies a mix ofresources (imported and local)that,when
implemented,will provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands through the
attainment ofregional targets set for conservation,local supplies,State Water Project
supplies,Colorado River supplies,groundwater banking,and water transfers.The 2004
update to the IRP (2004 IRP Update)includes a planning buffer supply intended to mitigate
2
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
against the risks associated with implementation oflocal and imported supply programs and
for the risk that future demands could be higher than projected.The planning buffer identifies
an additional increment ofwater that could potentially be developed when needed and if other
supplies are not fully implemented as planned.As part ofimplementation ofthe planning
buffer,Metropolitan periodically evaluates supply development,supply conditions,and
projected demands to ensure that the region is not under or over developing supplies.
Managed properly,the planning buffer will help ensure that the southern California region,
including San Diego County,will have adequate water supplies to meet long-term future
demands.
Water supply agencies throughout California continue to face climate,environmental,legal,
and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions,such as the court rulings
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta issues and the current ongoing drought
impacting the western states.Challenges such as these essentially always will be present.
The regional water supply agencies,the Water Authority and Metropolitan,along with Otay
WD nevertheless fully intend to have sufficient,reliable supplies to serve demands.
In Section IIA oftheir 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP),
Metropolitan states that through effective management ofits water supply,they fully expect
to be 100 percent reliable in meeting all non-discounted non-interruptible demands throughout
the next twenty-five years.Metropolitan's 2005 RUWMP identifies potential reserve supplies
in the supply capability analysis (Tables II-7,II-8,and II-9),which could be available to meet
the anticipated demands such as those related to the Rabago Project.
The County Water Authority Act,Section 5 subdivision 11,states that the Water Authority
"as far as practicable,shall provide each ofits member agencies with adequate supplies of
water to meet their expanding and increasing needs."
As part ofpreparation ofa written water supply assessment report,an agency's shortage
contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency ofsupply.Section 9 of
the Water Authority's 2005 Updated UWMP contains a detailed shortage contingency
analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought management.
The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies,through the
Emergency Response Plan,Emergency Storage Project,and Drought Management Plan
(DMP)are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle an interruption ofwater
supplies.The DMP,completed in May 2006,provides the Water Authority and its member
agencies with a series ofpotential actions to take when faced with a shortage ofimported
water supplies from Metropolitan due to prolonged drought or other supply shortfall
conditions.The actions will help the region avoid or minimize the impacts ofshortages and
ensure an equitable allocation ofsupplies.

Otay WD Water Supply Development Program
In evaluating the availability ofsufficient water supply,the Rabago Project development
proponents will be required to participate in the water supply development program being
implemented by the Otay WD.This is intended to be achieved through financial participation
in several local and/or regional water supply development projects envisioned by the Otay
WD.These water supply projects are in addition to those identified as sustainable supplies in
the current Water Authority and Metropolitan UWMP,IRP,Master Plans,and other planning
documents.These new water supply projects are in response to the regional water supply
issues.These new additional water supply projects are not currently developed and are in
various stages ofthe planning process.Imported water supplies along with the Otay WD
water supply development projects supplies are planned to be developed and are intended to
increase water supplies to serve the Rabago Project water supply needs and that ofother
similar situated development projects.The Otay WD water supply development program
includes but is not limited to projects such as the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well project,the North District Recycled Water Supply Concept,the Rosarito
Ocean Desalination Facility project,and the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project.The
Water Authority and Metropolitan's next forecasts and supply planning documents would
capture any increase in water supplies resulting from any new water resources developed by
the OtayWD.
Findings
This WSA Report for the Rabago Project has been prepared by the Otay WD in consultation
with Dexter Wilson Engineering,Inc.,the Water Authority,and the County pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21151.9 and California Water Code Sections 10631,10656,10657,
10910,10911,10912,and 10915 referred to as Senate Bill (SB)610.SB 610 amended state
law,effective January 1,2002,to improve the link between information on water supply
availability and certain land use decisions made by cities and counties.SB 610 requires that
the water purveyor ofthe public water system prepare a water supply assessment to be
included in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)environmental documentation
and approval process ofcertain proposed projects.The County requested that Otay WD
prepare a water supply assessment as per the requirements ofSB 610.The requirements of
SB 610 are being addressed by this WSA Report.
The Rabago Project development concept exceeds the thresholds contained in the legislation
enacted by SB 610 and therefore requires preparation of a WSA report.The Rabago Project
is considered as an industrial development and is not a residential subdivision project ofmore
than 500 units and hence it is not subject to the requirements of Senate Bill 221 for
preparation ofa Water Supply Verification Report.
The WSA Report identifies and describes the processes by which water demand projections
for the proposed Rabago Project will be fully included in the water demand and supply
forecasts ofthe Urban Water Management Plans and other water resources planning

documents ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.Water supplies necessary to serve the
demands ofthe proposed Rabago Project,along with existing and other projected future users,
as well as the actions necessary and status to develop these supplies,have been identified in
the Rabago Project WSA Report and will be included in the future water supply planning
documents ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.
This WSA Report includes,among other information,an identification ofexisting water
supply entitlements,water rights,water service contracts,water supply projects,or
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Rabago Project.
This WSA Report demonstrates,and documents that sufficient water supplies are planned for
and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon,under normal conditions and
in single and multiple dry years to meet the projected demand ofthe proposed Rabago Project
and the existing and other planned development projects to be served by the Otay WD.
Accordingly,after approval of a WSA Report for the Rabago Project by the Otay WD Board
ofDirectors (Board),the WSA Report may be used to comply with the requirements ofthe
legislation enacted by Senate Bill 610 as follows:
Senate Bill 610 Water Supply Assessment:The Otay WD Board approved Rabago
ProjectWSA Report may be incorporated into the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA)compliance process for the Rabago Project as a water supply assessment
report consistent with the requirements ofthe legislation enacted by SB 610.The
County,as lead agency under CEQA for the Rabago Project EIR,may cite the
approved WSA Report as evidence that a sufficient water supply is planned for and is
intended to be made available to serve the Rabago Project.
Section 1 -Purpose
Rabago Technology Park,LLC submitted an entitlement application to the County of San
Diego (County)for the development ofthe Rabago Technology Park (Rabago)Project.The
County requested that the Otay Water District (WD)prepare a Water Supply Assessment
(WSA)Report for the Rabago Project.The Rabago Project description is provided in Section
3 ofthis WSA Report.
This WSA Report for the Rabago Project has been prepared by the Otay WD in consultation
with Dexter Wilson Engineering,Inc.,the San Diego County Water Authority (Water
Authority),and the County pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21151.9 and
California Water Code Sections 10631,10656,10910,10911,10912,and 10915 referred to as
Senate Bill (SB)610.SB 610 amended state law,effective January 1,2002,intending to
improve the link between information on water supply availability and certain land use
decisions made by cities and counties.SB 610 requires that the water purveyor ofthe public
water system prepare a water supply assessment to be included in the California
5
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)environmental documentation and approval process of
certain proposed projects.The requirements ofSB 610 are being addressed by this WSA
Report.
The Rabago Project development concept exceeds the thresholds contained in the legislation
enacted by SB 610 and therefore requires preparation ofa WSA report.The Rabago Project
is considered as an industrial development and is not a residential subdivision project ofmore
than 500 units and hence it is not subject to the requirements of Senate Bill 221 for
preparation ofa Water Supply Verification Report.
This WSA Report evaluates water supplies that are planned to be available during nonnal,
single dry year,and multiple dry water years during a 20-year planning horizon to meet
existing demands,expected demands ofthe Rabago Project,and reasonably foreseeable
planned future water demands to be served by Otay WD.The Otay WD Board ofDirectors
approved WSA Report is planned to be used by the County in its evaluation ofthe Rabago
Project under the CEQA approval process procedures.
Section 2 -Findings
The Otay WD prepared this WSA Report at the request ofthe County for the Rabago Project.
Rabago Technology Park,LLC submitted an entitlement application to the County for the
development ofthe Rabago Project.
The Rabago Project is located within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,the Water Authority,
and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan).To obtain
pennanent imported water supply service,land areas are required to be within the
jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,Water Authority,and Metropolitan to utilize imported water
supply.
The expected demand for the Rabago Project is 60,290 gallons per day (gpd)or about 67.5
acre feet per year (ac-ft/yr).This is unchanged from the demand estimate in the District's
WRMP.The projected recycled water demand for the proposed Rabago Project is
approximately 7,740 gpd or 8.7 ac-ft/yr,representing about 11 %ofthe total Rabago Project
water demand.
The Rabago Project development proponents are required to use recycled water for irrigation
and appropriate uses.The primary benefit ofusing recycled water is that it will offset the
potable water demands by an estimated 8.7 ac-ft/yr.The Otay WD WRMP and 2005 Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP)anticipated that the land area to be utilized for the Rabago
Project would use both potable and recycled water.
6
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
In evaluating the availability ofsufficient water supply,the Rabago project proponents are
required to participate in the development of alternative water supply project(s).This can be
achieved through payment ofthe New Water Supply Fee adopted by the Otay Water District
Board in May 2010.These water supply projects are in addition to those identified as
sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and Metropolitan UWMP,IRP,Master
Plans,and other planning documents.These new water supply projects are in response to the
regional water supply issues related to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current
ongoing western states drought conditions.These new additional water supply projects are
not currently developed and are in various stages ofthe planning process.A few examples of
these alternative water supply projects include the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well project,the North District Recycled Water Supply Concept,the Rosarito
Ocean Desalination Facility project,and the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project.The
Water Authority and Metropolitan next forecast and supply planning documents would
capture any increase in water supplies resulting from any new water resources developed by
theOtayWD.
The Water Authority and Metropolitan have an established process that ensures supplies are
being planned to meet future growth.Any annexations and revisions to established land use
plans are captured in the San Diego Association ofGovernments (SANDAG)updated
forecasts for land use planning,demographics,and economic projections.SANDAG serves
as the regional,intergovernmental planning agency that develops and provides forecast
information.The Water Authority and Metropolitan update their demand forecasts and
supply needs based on the most recent SANDAG forecast approximately every five years to
coincide with preparation oftheir urban water management plans.Prior to the next forecast
update,local jurisdictions may require water supply assessment and/or verification reports for
proposed land developments that are not within the Otay WD,Water Authority,or
Metropolitan jurisdictions (i.e.pending or proposed annexations)or that have revised land use
plans with lower or higher land use intensities than reflected in the existing growth forecasts.
Proposed land areas with pending or proposed annexations,or revised land use plans,
typically result in creating higher demand and supply requirements than anticipated.The
Otay WD,the Water Authority,and Metropolitan next demand forecast and supply
requirements and associated planning documents would then capture any increase or decrease
in demands and required supplies as a result of annexations or revised land use planning
decisions.
This process is utilized by the Water Authority and Metropolitan to document the water
supplies necessary to serve the demands of any proposed development project,along with
existing and other projected future users,as well as the actions necessary to develop any
required water supplies.Through this process the necessary demand and supply information
is thus assured to be identified and incorporated within the water supply planning documents
ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.
This WSA Report includes,among other information,an identification ofexisting water
supply entitlements,water rights,water service contracts,proposed water supply projects,and
7
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Rabago Project.
This WSA Report incorporates by reference the current Urban Water Management Plans and
other water resources planning documents ofthe Otay WD,the Water Authority,and
Metropolitan.The Otay WD prepared this WSA Report to assess and document that
sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended to be acquired to meet projected
water demands ofthe Rabago Project as well as existing and other reasonably foreseeable
planned development projects within the Otay WD for a 20-year planning horizon,in normal
supply years and in single dry and multiple dry years.
Based on a normal water supply year,the five-year increments for a 20-year projection
indicate projected potable and recycled water supply is being planned for and is intended to be
acquired to meet the estimated water demand ofthe Otay WD (49,812 acre-feet (ac-ft)in
2010 to 82,405 ac-ft in 2030 per the Otay WD 2005 UWMP).Based on dry year forecasts,
the estimated water supply is also being planned for and is intended to be acquired to meet the
projected water demand,during single dry and multiple dry year scenarios.On average,the
dry-year demands are about 7%higher than the normal demands.The Otay WD recycled
water supply is assumed to be drought-proof and not subject to reduction during dry periods.
Together,these findings assess,demonstrate,and document that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be acquired,as well as the actions necessary and status to
develop these supplies are and will be further documented,to serve the proposed Rabago
Project and the existing and other reasonably foreseeable planned development projects
within the Otay WD in both normal and single and multiple dry year forecasts for a 20-year
planning horizon.
Section 3 -Project Description
The Rabago Project is located within the Otay Mesa Specific Plan (OMSP)area in the County
of San Diego.Refer to Appendix A for a vicinity map of the proposed Rabago Project.The
Rabago Project is located at the northwest corner ofthe intersection ofOtay Mesa Road and
Enrico Fermi Drive.The Rabago Project is within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,the
Water Authority,and Metropolitan Water District ofSouthern California (Metropolitan).
Although the proposed development is subject to the County's land use jurisdiction,the Otay
WD is the potable and recycled water purveyor.
The proposed development concept for the approximately 71.1 acre Rabago Project is planned
as industrial business park lots as shown in Table 1.

Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
Table 1
Rabago Project Proposed Land Uses
The Rabago Project is on approximately 71.1 acres and is planned to include 19 industrial
business park lots ranging from 1.7 to 8.0 acres in size.As each ofthese lots develops in the
future,it would be subject to the project approval and permitting processes ofthe County and
Otay WD.Refer to Appendix B for the proposed development plan ofthe Rabago Project.
The County has discretionary authority on land use decisions for the Rabago Project and can
establish actions and/or permit approval requirements.The projected potable and recycled
water demands associated with the Rabago Project have considered the anticipated County
discretionary actions and/or permit approvals and are incorporated into and used in this WSA
Report.The water demands for the proposed Rabago Project are included in the projected
water demand estimates provided in Section 5 -Historical and Projected Water Demands.
Section 4 -Otay Water District
The Otay WD is a municipal water district formed in 1956 pursuant to the Municipal Water
District Act of 1911 (Water Code §§71000 et seq.).The Otay WD joined the Water
Authority as a member agency in 1956 to acquire the right to purchase and distribute imported
water throughout its service area.The Water Authority is an agency responsible for the
wholesale supply ofwater to its 24 public agency members in San Diego County.
The Otay WD currently relies on the Water Authority for 100 percent ofits treated water
supply.The Water Authority is the agency responsible for the supply ofimported water into
San Diego County through its membership in Metropolitan.The Water Authority currently
obtains about halfofits imported supply from Metropolitan,but is in the process of further
diversifying its available supplies.
The Otay WD provides water service to residential,commercial,industrial,and agricultural
customers,and for environmental and fire protection uses.In addition to providing water
throughout its service area,Otay WD also provides sewage collection and treatment services
to a portion ofits service area known as the Jamacha Basin.The Otay WD also owns and
operates the Ralph W.Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF)which has an
effective treatment capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (mgd)or about 1,300 acre feet per
year (ac-ft/yr)to produce recycled water.On May 18,2007 an additional source ofrecycled
water supply,at least 6 mgd,or about 6,720 ac-ft/yr,became available to Otay WD from the
City ofSan Diego's South Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP).

The Otay WD jurisdictional area is generally located within the south central portion ofSan
Diego County and includes approximately 125 square miles.The Otay WD serves portions of
the unincorporated communities of southern EI Cajon,La Mesa,Rancho San Diego,Jamul,
Spring Valley,Bonita,and Otay Mesa,the eastern portion ofthe City of Chula Vista and a
portion ofthe City of San Diego on Otay Mesa.The Otay WD jurisdiction boundaries are
roughly bounded on the north by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District,on the northwest
by the Helix Water District,and on the west by the South Bay Irrigation District (Sweetwater
Authority)and the City ofSan Diego.The southern boundary ofOtay WD is the international
border with Mexico.
The planning area addressed in the Otay WD 2009 WRMP and the Otay WD revised 2005
Urban Water Management Plan (2005 UWMP)includes the land within the jutisdictional
boundary ofthe Otay WD and those areas outside ofthe present Otay WD boundaries
considered to be in the Area ofInfluence ofthe Otay WD.Figure 2-1 contained within the
Otay WD 2009 WRMP shows the jurisdictional boundary ofthe Otay WD and the Area of
Influence.The planning area is approximately 143 square miles,ofwhich approximately 125
square miles are within the Otay WD current boundaries and approximately 18 square miles
are in the Area of Influence.The area east of Otay WD is rural and currently not within any
water purveyor jurisdiction and potentially could be served by the Otay WD in the future if
the need for imported water becomes necessary,as is the case for the Area ofInfluence.
The City ofChula Vista,the City ofSan Diego,and the County ofSan Diego are the three
land use planning agencies within the Otay WD jurisdiction.Data on forecasts for land use
planning,demographics,economic projections,population,and the future rate ofgrowth
within Otay WD were obtained from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG).
SANDAG serves as the regional,intergovernmental planning agency that develops and
provides forecast information through the year 2050.Population growth within the Otay WD
service area is expected to increase from the 2005 figure of approximately 179,000 to an
estimated 268,000 by 2025,and is estimated to be 277,000 at ultimate build out.Land use
information used to develop water demand projections are based upon Specific or Sectional
Planning Areas,the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Sub-regional Plan,East Otay
Mesa Specific Plan Area,San Diego County Community Plans,and City of San Diego,City
ofChula Vista,and County of San Diego General Plans.
The Otay WD long-term historic growth rate has been approximately 3%per year.Up until
the recent economic downturn,growth was occurring at a faster rate due to accelerated
residential development in the eastern portion ofthe City of Chula Vista.The growth rate
has significantly slowed due to the current economic conditions and it is expected to slow as
the inventory of developable land is diminished.
Climatic conditions within the Otay WD service area are characteristically Mediterranean
near the coast,with mild temperatures year round.Inland areas are both hotter in summer and
cooler in winter,with summer temperatures often exceeding 90 degrees and winter
temperatures occasionally dipping to below freezing.Most ofthe region's rainfall occurs
10
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
during the months ofDecember through March.Average annual rainfall is approximately 9.4
inches per year.
Historic climate data were obtained from the Western Regional Climate Center for Station
042706 (EI Cajon).This station was selected because its annual temperature variation is
representative ofmost ofthe Otay WD service area.While there is a station in the City of
Chula Vista,the temperature variation at the City of Chula Vista station is more typical of a
coastal environment than the conditions in most ofthe Otay WD service area.
Urban Water Management Plan
In accordance with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act,the Otay WD
Board ofDirectors adopted an Urban Water Management Plan in December 2005 and
subsequently submitted the plan to the California Department ofWater Resources (DWR).
DWR required Otay WD to make revisions to the submitted plan.The Otay WD Board of
Directors adopted the revised Otay WD 2005 UWMP in July 2007.As required by law,the
Otay WD 2005 UWMP includes projected water supplies required to meet future demands
through 2030.In accordance with Water Code Section 10910 (c)(2)and Government Code
Section 66473.7 (c)(3),information from the Otay WD 2005 UWMP along with supplemental
information from the Otay WD 2009 WRMP updated November,2010 have been utilized to
prepare this WSA Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 5 -Historical and Projected Water Demands
The projected demands for the Otay WD are based on Specific or Sectional Planning Areas,
the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Sub-regional Plan,the East Otay Mesa Specific
Plan Area,San Diego County Community Plans,and City of San Diego,City ofChula Vista,
and County ofSan Diego General Plans.This land use information is also used by SANDAG
as the basis for its most recent forecast data.This land use information is utilized in the
preparation ofthe Otay WD 2009 WRMP updated November,2010 and Otay WD 2005
UWMP to develop the forecasted demands and supply requirements.
In 1994,the Water Authority selected the Institute for Water Resources-Municipal and
Industrial Needs (MAIN)computer model to forecast municipal and industrial water use for
the San Diego region.The MAIN model uses demographic and economic data to project
sector-level water demands (i.e.residential and non-residential demands).This econometric
model has over a quarter ofa century ofpractical application and is used by many cities and
water agencies throughout the United States.The Water Authority's version ofthe MAIN
model was modified to reflect the San Diego region's unique parameters and is known as
CWA-MAIN.
11
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report

The foundation ofthe water demand forecast is the underlying demographic and economic
projections.This was a primary reason,why,in 1992 the Water Authority and SANDAG
entered into a Memorandum ofAgreement (MOA),in which the Water Authority agreed to
use the SANDAG current regional growth forecast for water supply planning purposes.In
addition,the MOA recognizes that water supply reliability must be a component ofSan Diego
County's regional growth management strategy required by Proposition C,as passed by the
San Diego County voters in 1988.The MOA ensures a strong linkage between local general
plan land use forecasts and water demand projections and resulting supply needs for the San
Diego region.
Consistent with the previous CWA-MAIN modeling efforts,on February 26,2010,the
SANDAG Board ofDirectors accepted the Series 12:2050 Regional Growth Forecast.The
2050 Regional Growth Forecast will be used by SANDAG as the foundation for the next
Regional Comprehensive Plan update.SANDAG forecasts also are used by local
governments for planning,including the San Diego County Water Authority 2010 Urban
Water Management Plan update.The SANDAG Series 12:2050 Regional Growth Forecast
included the current land use ofthe County ofSan Diego General Plan that fonns the basis for
the entitlement densities and intensities ofdevelopment for this project.
The municipal and industrial forecast also included an updated accounting ofprojected
conservation savings based on projected regional implementation ofthe California Urban
Water Conservation Council (CUWCC)Best Management Practices and SANDAG
demographic infonnation for the period 2005 through 2030.These savings estimates were
then factored into the baseline municipal and industrial demand forecast.
A separate agricultural model,also used in prior modeling efforts,was used to forecast
agricultural water demands within the Water Authority service area.This model estimates
agricultural demand to be met by the Water Authority's member agencies based on
agricultural acreage projections provided by SANDAG,crop distribution data derived from
the Department ofWater Resources and the California Avocado Commission,and average
crop-type watering requirements based on California Irrigation Management Infonnation
System data.
The Water Authority and Metropolitan update their water demand and supply projections
within their jurisdictions utilizing the SANDAG most recent growth forecast to project future
water demands.This provides for the important strong link between demand and supply
projections to the land use plans ofthe cities and the county.This provides for consistency
between the retail and wholesale agencies water demand projections,thereby ensuring that
adequate supplies are and will be planned for the Otay WD existing and future water users.
Existing land use plans,any revisions to land use plans,and annexations are captured in the
SANDAG updated forecasts.The Water Authority and Metropolitan will update their
demand forecasts based on the SANDAG most recent forecast approximately every five years
to coincide with preparation oftheir urban water management plans.Prior to the next forecast
update,local jurisdictions may require water supply assessment and/or verification reports
12
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
consistent with Senate Bills 610 and 221 for proposed land use developments that either have
pending or proposed annexations into the Otay WD,Water Authority,and Metropolitan or
that have revised land use plans than originally anticipated.The Water Authority and
Metropolitan's next forecasts and supply planning documents would then capture any increase
or decrease in demands caused by annexations or revised land use plans.
The state ofCalifornia Business and Professions Code Section 11010 and Government Code
Sections 65867.5, 66455.3,and 66473.7,are referred to as SB 221,requires affirmative
written verification from the water purveyor ofthe public water system that sufficient water
supplies are to be available for certain residential subdivisions ofproperty prior to approval of
a tentative map.SB 221 compliance does not apply to the Rabago Project as it is an industrial
subdivision.
In evaluating the availability ofsufficient water supply,the Rabago Project development
proponents will be required to participate in the development of alternative water supply
project(s).This can be achieved through payment ofthe New Water Supply Fee adopted by
the Otay Water District Board in May 201 O.These water supply projects are in addition to
those identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and Metropolitan
UWMP,IRP,Master Plans,and other planning documents.These new water supply projects
are in response to the regional water supply issues related to climatological,environmental,
legal,and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions,such as the court
rulings regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current ongoing western states
drought conditions.These new additional water supply projects are not currently developed
and are in various stages ofthe planning process.The Otay WD water supply development
program includes but is not limited to projects such as the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well project,the North District Recycled Water Supply Concept,the Rosarito
Ocean Desalination Facility project,and the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project.The
Water Authority and Metropolitan's next forecasts and supply planning documents would
capture any increase in water supplies resulting from any new water resources developed by
the OtayWD.
In addition,Metropolitan's 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan identified potential
reserve supplies in the supply capability analysis (Tables II-7,II-8,and II-9),which could be
available to meet any unanticipated demands.The Water Authority and Metropolitan's next
forecasts and supply planning documents would capture any increase in necessary supply
resources resulting from any new water supply resources.
Demand Methodology
The Otay WD water demand projection methodology utilizes a component land use approach.
This is done by applying representative values ofwater use to the acreage of each land use
type and then aggregating these individual land use demand projections into an overall total
demand for the Otay WD.This is called the water duty method,and the water duty is the
amount ofwater used in gallons per day per acre per year.This approach is used for all the
13
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
land use types except residential development where a demand per dwelling unit was applied.
In addition,commercial and industrial water use categories are further subdivided by type
including separate categories for golfcourses,schools,jails,prisons,hospitals,etc.where
specific water demands are established.
To determine water duties for the various types ofland use,the entire water meter database of
the Otay WD is utilized and sorted by the appropriate land use types.The metered
consumption records are then examined for each ofthe land uses,and water duties are determined for
the various types ofresidential,commercial,industrial,and institutional land uses.For example
the water duty factors for commercial and industrial land uses are estimated using 1,785 and 893
gallons per day per acre (gpdJacre)respectively.Residential water demand is established based on
the same data but computed on a per-dwelling unit basis.The focus is to ensure that for each ofthe
residential land use categories (very low,low,medium,and high densities),the demand criteria
used is adequately represented based upon actual data.This method is used because
residential land uses constitute a substantial percentage ofthe total developable planning area ofthe
OtayWD.
The underlying land use designation for the Rabago Project lots will be the industrial land use
designation.
The 2009 WRMP calculates potable water demand by taking the gross acreage ofa site and
applying a potable water reduction factor (PWRF),which is intended to represent the
percentage ofacreage to be served by potable water and that not served by recycled water for
irrigation.For industrial land use,as an example,the PWRF is 0.95 (i.e.,95%ofthe site is
assumed to be served by potable water,5%ofthe site is assumed to be irrigated with recycled
water).The potable net acreage is then multiplied by the unit demand factor corresponding to
its respective land use.This approach is used in the 2009 WRMP for all the land use types
except residential development where a demand per dwelling unit is applied.In addition,
commercial and industrial water use categories are further subdivided by type including
separate categories for golfcourses,schools,jails,prisons,hospitals,etc.where specific water
demands are allocated.
Otay WD Projected Demand
By applying the established water duties to the proposed land uses,the projected water
demand for the entire Otay WD planning area at ultimate development is determined.
Projected water demands for the intervening years were determined using growth rate
projections consistent with data obtained from SANDAG and the experience of the Otay WD.
The historical and projected potable water demands for Otay WD are shown in Table 2.

Rabago Project Projected Water Demand
Using the land use demand projection noted above,the projected potable water demand and
projected recycled water demand for the proposed Rabago Project are shown in Table 4 and
Table 5 respectively.The projected potable water demand is 60,290 gpd,or about 67.5 ac-
ft/yr.The projected recycled water demand is 7,740 gpd,or about 8.7 ac-ft/yr,representing
about 11 %ofthe total Rabago Project demand.

The Rabago Project development proponents are required to use recycled water for irrigation
and for other appropriate uses.The primary benefit ofusing recycled water is that it will
offset the potable water demands by an estimated 13 ac-ft/yr.The 2009 WRMP and 2005
UWMP anticipated that the Rabago Project site would use both potable and recycled water.

The Otay WD 2009 WRMP projected a potable water demand for the project site based on
land uses in the East Otay Mesa Specific Plan.The current development plan does not
propose any changes to the Specific Plan land uses and,therefore,the proposed development
has been accounted for in the Otay WD planning documents.
5.1 Demand Management (Water Conservation)
Demand management,or water conservation is a critical part of the Otay WD 2005 UWMP
and its long term strategy for meeting water supply needs ofthe Otay WD customers.Water
conservation,is frequently the lowest cost resource available to any water agency.The goals
ofthe Otay WD water conservation programs are to:
•Reduce the demand for more expensive,imported water.
•Demonstrate continued commitment to the Best Management Practices (BMP).
•Ensure a reliable water supply.
The Otay WD is signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)Regarding Urban
Water Conservation in California,which created the California Urban Water Conservation
Council (CUWCC)in 1991 in an effort to reduce California's long-term water demands.
16
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
Water conservation programs are developed and implemented on the premise that water
conservation increases the water supply by reducing the demand on available supply,which is
vital to the optimal utilization ofa region's water supply resources.The Otay WD
participates in many water conservation programs designed and typically operated on a shared
cost participation program basis among the Water Authority,Metropolitan,and their member
agencies.The demands shown in Tables 2,3,4,and 5 take into account implementation of
water conservation measures within Otay WD.
As one ofthe first signatories to the MOD Regarding Urban Water Conservation in
California,the Otay WD has made BMP implementation for water conservation the
cornerstone ofits conservation programs and a key element in its water resource management
strategy.As a member ofthe Water Authority,Otay WD also benefits from regional
programs performed on behalf ofits member agencies.The BMP programs implemented by
Otay WD and regional BMP programs implemented by the Water Authority that benefit all
their member agencies are addressed in the Otay WD 2005 UWMP.In partnership with the
Water Authority,the County of San Diego,City of San Diego,City ofChula Vista,and
developers,the Otay WD water conservation efforts are expected to grow and expand.The
resulting savings directly relate to additional available water in the San Diego County region
for beneficial use within the Water Authority service area,including the Otay WD.
Additional conservation or water use efficiency measures or programs practiced by the Otay
WD include the following:
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System
The Otay WD implemented and has operated for many years a Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)system to control,monitor,and collect data regarding the operation of
the water system.The major facilities that have SCADA capabilities are the water flow
control supply sources,transmission network,pumping stations,and water storage reservoirs.
The SCADA system allows for many and varied useful functions.Some of these functions
provide for operating personnel to monitor the water supply source flow rates,reservoir
levels,tum on or offpumping units,etc.The SCADA system aids in the prevention of water
reservoir overflow events and increases energy efficiency.
Water Conservation Ordinance
California Water Code Sections 375 et seq.permit public entities which supply water at retail
to adopt and enforce a water conservation program to reduce the quantity ofwater used by the
people therein for the purpose ofconserving water supplies ofsuch public entity.The Otay
WD Board ofDirectors established a comprehensive water conservation program pursuant to
California Water Code Sections 375 et seq.,based upon the need to conserve water supplies
and to avoid or minimize the effects of any future shortage.A water shortage could exist
based upon the occurrence ofone or more ofthe following conditions:
17
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
1.A general water supply shortage due to increased demand or limited supplies.
2.Distribution or storage facilities ofthe Water Authority or other agencies become
inadequate.
3.A major failure ofthe supply,storage,and distribution facilities ofMetropolitan,
Water Authority,and/or Otay WD.
The Otay WD water conservation ordinance finds and determines that the conditions
prevailing in the San Diego County area require that the available water resources be put to
maximum beneficial use to the extent to which they are capable,and that the waste or
unreasonable use,or unreasonable method ofuse,ofwater be prevented and that the
conservation ofsuch water be encouraged with a view to the maximum reasonable and
beneficial use thereofin the interests ofthe people ofthe Otay WD and for the public welfare.
As a signatory to the MOU Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California,the Otay WD
is required to submit biannual reports that detail the implementation ofcurrent water
conservation practices.The Otay WD voluntarily agreed to implement the fourteen water
conservation Best Management Practices beginning in 1992.The Otay WD submits its report
to the CUWCC every two years.The Otay WD BMP Reports for 2001 to 2004,as well as the
BMP Coverage Report for 2003-04,are included in the Otay WD 2005 UWMP.
The Rabago Project will implement the CUWCC Best Management Practices for water
conservation such as installation ofultra low flow toilets,development of a water
conversation plan,and potential beneficial use ofrecycled water,all ofwhich are typical
requirements ofdevelopment projects within the County ofSan Diego.
Section 6 -Existing and Projected Supplies
The Otay WD currently does not have an independent raw or potable water supply source.
The Otay WD is a member public agency ofthe Water Authority.The Water Authority is a
member public agency ofMetropolitan.The statutory relationships between the Water
Authority and its member agencies,and Metropolitan and its member agencies,respectively,
establish the scope ofthe Otay WD entitlement to water from these two agencies.
The Water Authority through two delivery pipelines,referred to as Pipeline No.4 and the La
Mesa Sweetwater Extension Pipeline,currently supply the Otay WD with 100 percent ofits
potable water.The Water Authority in tum,currently purchases about half ofits water from
Metropolitan.Due to the Otay WD reliance on these two agencies,this WSA Report includes
referenced documents that contain information on the existing and projected supplies,supply
programs,and related projects ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.The Otay WD,
Water Authority,and Metropolitan are actively pursuing programs and projects to further
diversify their water supply resources.
18
Otay Water District
Water Supply AssessmentReport
Rabago Technology Park
The description oflocal recycled water supplies available to the Otay WD is also discussed
below.
6.1 Metropolitan Water District of Southern California 2005 Regional
Urban Water Management Plan
In November 2005,Metropolitan adopted its 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan
(RUWMP).The 2005 RUWMP provides Metropolitan's member agencies,retail water
utilities,cities,and counties within its service area with,among other things,a detailed
evaluation of the supplies necessary to meet future demands,and an evaluation ofreasonable
and practical efficient water uses,recycling,and conservation activities.During the
preparation ofthe 2005 RUWMP,Metropolitan also utilized the previous SANDAG regional
growth forecast in calculating regional water demands for the Water Authority service area.
6.1.1 Availability ofSufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring Additional Supplies
Metropolitan is a wholesale supplier ofwater to its member public agencies and obtains its
supplies from two primary sources:the Colorado River,via the Colorado River Aqueduct
(CRA),which it owns and operates,and Northern California,via the State Water Project
(SWP).The 2005 RUWMP documents the availability ofthese existing supplies and
additional supplies necessary to meet future demands.
6.1.1.1 Metropolitan Supplies
Metropolitan's Integrated Resources Plan (IRP)identifies a mix ofresources (imported and
local)that,when implemented,will provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands
through the attainment ofregional targets set for conservation,local supplies,State Water
Project supplies,Colorado River supplies,groundwater banking,and water transfers.The
20I0 update to the IRP (2010 IRP Update)includes a planning buffer supply intended to
mitigate against the risks associated with implementation of local and imported supply
programs and for the risk that future demands could be higher than projected.The planning
buffer identifies an additional increment of water that could potentially be developed when
needed and ifother supplies are not fully implemented as planned.As part ofimplementation
ofthe planning buffer,Metropolitan periodically evaluates supply development,supply
conditions,and projected demands to ensure that the region is not under or over developing
supplies.Managed properly,the planning buffer will help ensure that the southern California
region,including San Diego County,will have adequate water supplies to meet future
demands.
In November 2005,Metropolitan adopted its 2005 RUWMP in accordance with state law.
The resource targets included in the preceding 2004 IRP Update serve as the foundation for
the planning assumptions used in the 2005 RUWMP.Metropolitan's 2005 RUWMP contains
a water supply reliability assessment that includes a detailed evaluation ofthe supplies
necessary to meet demands over a 25-year period in average,single dry year,and multiple dry
19
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
year periods.As part ofthis process,Metropolitan also uses the current SANDAG regional
growth forecast in calculating regional water demands for the Water Authority's service area.
As stated in Metropolitan's 2005 RUWMP,that plan may be used as a source document for
meeting the requirements ofSB 610 and SB 221 until the next scheduled update is completed
in 2011.The 2005 RUWMP includes a "Justifications for Supply Projections"in Appendix
A.3,that provides detailed documentation ofthe planning,legal,financial,and regulatory
basis for including each source ofsupply in the plan.A copy ofMetropolitan's 2005
RUWMP can be found on the internet at the following site address:
http://www.mwdh20.com/mwdh20/pages/yourwater/RUWMP/RUWMP 2005.pdf
SANDAG has included the proposed land use density from this project in their latest Series
12 Update.Now that Metropolitan has updated their IRP,both Metropolitan and the Water
Authority will be updating their UWMPs.The UWMP for both Metropolitan and the Water
Authority will include the increase in demand projections included in SANDAG's Series 12
Update and from the projections from Otay WD 2009 WRMP updated November,2010.
Water supply agencies throughout California continue to face climate,environmental,legal,
and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions,such as the court rulings
regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current western states drought
conditions.Challenges such as these essentially always will be present.The regional water
supply agencies,the Water Authority and Metropolitan,along with Otay WD nevertheless
fully intend to have sufficient,reliable supplies to serve demands.
6.1.1.2 Pipeline 6
Metropolitan completed its System Overview Study (SOS)in fall 2005 based on the 2004
IRP.The SOS determines if Metropolitan's current system is capable ofdelivering the
supplies to meet the demands shown in the older 2004 IRP.
Pipeline 6 is included in the SOS as an untreated water pipeline to deliver additional
Metropolitan supplies to the San Diego County region.The addition ofPipeline 6 would
allow the Water Authority and Metropolitan to convert one ofthe existing untreated water
pipelines to a treated water pipeline.With the conversion,the capacity to import both treated
and untreated water would increase significantly,thereby enabling Metropolitan to increase
both treated and untreated imported water delivery capacity to the San Diego County region.
Based on current planning assumptions ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan,new
imported supplies delivered though Pipeline 6 would be required no earlier than 2018,absent
development ofnew supplies from seawater desalination or some combination ofnew local
supplies,totaling 56,000 ac-ft/yr (see Section 6.2.1 below).With development of56,000 ac-
ft/yr,Pipeline 6 would not be needed until 2023.Activities associated with implementation of
Pipeline 6 include the following:
20
Gtay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
•Coordination between Metropolitan and the Water Authority regarding planning and
design ofPipeline 6 is ongoing.
•An alignment for the entire approximately 30-mile pipeline was identified in the
original 1993 Environmental Impact Report.Metropolitan is conducting a feasibility
study to revisit the 1993 alignment and evaluate alternative alignments north ofthe
San Luis Rey River in light ofchanged conditions since 1993.The Water Authority
plans to conduct a similar feasibility study ofPipeline 6 alignments south ofthe San
Luis Rey River.Based on these updated feasibility studies,an updated environmental
analysis for the project is also planned.
6.1.2 Metropolitan Capital Investment Plan
Metropolitan prepares a Capital Investment Plan as part of its annual budget approval process.
The cost,purpose,justification,status,progress,etc.of Metropolitan's infrastructure projects
to deliver existing and future supplies are documented in the Capital Investment Plan.The
financing ofthese projects is addressed as part ofthe annual budget approval process.
Metropolitan's Capital Investment Plan includes a series ofprojects identified from
Metropolitan studies ofprojected water needs,which,when considered along with operational
demands on aging facilities and new water quality regulations,identify the capital projects
needed to maintain infrastructure reliability and water quality standards,improve efficiency,
and provide future cost savings.All projects within the Capital Investment Plan are evaluated
against an objective set ofcriteria to ensure they are aligned with the Metropolitan's goals of
supply reliability and quality.
6.2 San Diego County Water Authority Regional Water Supplies
The Water Authority has adopted plans and is taking specific actions to develop adequate
water supplies to help meet existing and future water demands within the San Diego region.
This section contains details on the supplies being developed by the Water Authority.A
summary ofrecent actions pertaining to development ofthese supplies includes:
In accordance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act,the Water Autho .ty
adopted their 2005 UWMP in November 2005 and updated the 2005 UWMP in April
2007.The updated Water Authority 2005 UWMP identifies a diverse mix oflocal and
imported water supplies to meet future demands.A copy ofthe updated Water
Authority 2005 UWMP can be found on the internet at http://www.sdcwa.org
•Deliveries ofconserved agricultural water from the Imperial Irrigation District (lID)to
San Diego County have increased annually since 2003,with 70,000 ac-ft ofdeliveries in
Fiscal Year (FY)2010.
21
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
•As part ofthe October 2003 Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA),the Water
Authority was assigned Metropolitan's rights to 77,700 ac-ft/yr ofconserved water from
the All-American Canal (AAC)and Coachella Canal (CC)lining projects.The Water
Authority has nearly completed implementation ofthese projects,with the CC project
now complete and deliveries being made to the San Diego County region.
Through implementation ofthe Water Authority and member agency planned supply projects,
along with reliable imported water supplies from Metropolitan,the region anticipates having
adequate supplies to meet existing and future water demands.
To ensure sufficient supplies to meet projected growth in the San Diego region,the Water
Authority uses the SANDAG most recent regional growth forecast in calculating regional
water demands.The SANDAG regional growth forecast is based on the plans and policies of
the land-use jurisdictions with San Diego County.The existing and future demands ofthe
member agencies are included in the Water Authority's projections.
6.2.1 Availability of Sufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring Additional Supplies
The Water Authority currently obtains imported supplies from Metropolitan,conserved water
from the AAC and CC lining projects,and an increasing amount ofconserved agricultural
water from IID.Ofthe twenty-seven member agencies that purchase water supplies from
Metropolitan,the Water Authority is Metropolitan's largest customer.In FY 2006,the Water
Authority purchased 577,944 ac-ft from Metropolitan,an increase of approximately 4,000 ac-
ft over the FY 2005 amount.
Section 135 of Metropolitan's Act defines the preferential right to water for each ofits
member agencies.As calculated by Metropolitan,the Water Authority's current preferential
right is 17.22%ofMetropolitan's supply,while the Water Authority accounted for
approximately 25%ofMetropolitan's total revenue.Under preferential rights,Metropolitan
could allocate water without regard to historic water purchases or dependence on
Metropolitan.The Water Authority and its member agencies are taking measures to reduce
dependence on Metropolitan through development ofadditional supplies and a water supply
portfolio that would not be jeopardized by a preferential rights allocation.Metropolitan has
stated,consistent with Section 4202 ofits Administrative Code that it is prepared to provide
the Water Authority's service area with adequate supplies ofwater to meet expanding and
increasing needs in the years ahead.When and as additional water resources are required to
meet increasing needs,Metropolitan stated it will be prepared to deliver such supplies.In
Section 11.4 oftheir 2005 RUWMP,Metropolitan states that through effective management of
its water supply,they fully expect to be 100 percent reliable in meeting all non-discounted
non-interruptible demands throughout the next twenty-five years.
The Water Authority has made large investments in Metropolitan's facilities and will continue
to include imported supplies from Metropolitan in the future resource mix.As discussed in
the Water Authority's 2005 UWMP,the Water Authority and its member agencies are
22

planning to diversify the San Diego regions supply portfolio and reduce purchases from
Metropolitan.
As part ofthe Water Authority's diversification efforts,the Water Authority is now taking
delivery ofconserved agricultural water from lID and water saved from the AAC and CC
lining projects.The CC lining project is complete and the Water Authority has essentially
completed construction ofthe AAC lining project.Table 7 summarizes the Water Authority's
supply sources with detailed infonnation included in the sections to follow.Deliveries from
Metropolitan are also included in Table 7,which is further discussed in Section 6.1 above.
The Water Authority's member agencies provided the verifiable local supply targets for
groundwater,groundwater recovery,recycled water,and surface water,which are discussed in
more detail in Section 5 ofthe Water Authority's 2005 UWMP.

Section 5 ofthe Water Authority's 2005 UWMP also includes a discussion on the local
supply target for seawater desalination.Seawater desalination supplies represent a significant
future local resource in the Water Authority's service area.Poseidon Resources is pursuing
the development ofa local,privately owned desalination project located adjacent to the
Encina Power Station.As ofJune 2007,Poseidon has contracted with the Carlsbad Municipal
Water District (MWD)(up to 28,000 ac-ft/yr depending on demands),Valley Center MWD
(7,500 ac-ft/yr),Rincon Del Diablo MWD (4,000 ac-ft/yr),and Sweetwater Authority (2,400
ac-ft/yr)to supply up to 41,900 ac-ft/yr ofdesalinated seawater.The verifiable seawater
desalination figure is based on the contract amounts and projected seawater desalination
deliveries to Carlsbad MWD.As shown in Table 7,the verifiable projected local seawater
desalination supplies vary each year based on the Carlsbad MWD demands (which are less
than their desalinated seawater contract amount of28,000 ac-ft/y).There are several
23
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report

contingencies related to Poseidon's agreements with these member agencies and the Water
Authority that must be satisfied before implementation of the project and its ultimate yield
can be determined.These contingencies include obtaining legal entitlements for construction
ofthe project,determination ofa mutually acceptable delivery interconnection points and
delivery charge,and engagement of a third party exchange agency partner where physical
delivery to the contracting agency is not practical.The Water Authority is negotiating
specific elements for a water purchase agreement with Poseidon which include water
purchase price,allocation ofrisk and options to eventually purchase the project's pipeline and
the entire desalination plant.This agreement will supersede the contracts Poseidon has
negotiated with the four Districts.Before negotiations begin on a final agreement,Poseidon
must secure sufficient financial commitments from private investors to meet requirements for
fully funding project construction.In addition,Poseidon must execute all agreements for
construction and operation of the project and finalize the documents needed to finance the
project in the bond market.
The Water Authority's existing and planned supplies from the IID transfer and canal lining
projects are considered "drought-proof'supplies and should be available at the yields shown
in Table 7 in normal,single dry,and multiple dry year scenarios.For dry year yields from
Metropolitan supplies,refer to Metropolitan's 2005 RUWMP,discussed in Section 6.1 above.
As part ofpreparation of a written water supply assessment and/or verification report,an
agency's shortage contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency of
supply.Section 9 ofthe Water Authority's 2005 UWMP contains a detailed shortage
contingency analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought
management.The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies,
through the Emergency Response Plan,Emergency Storage Project,and Drought
Management Plan (DMP)are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle an
interruption ofwater supplies.The DMP,completed in May 2006,provides the Water
Authority and its member agencies with a series ofpotential actions to take when faced with a
shortage ofimported water supplies from Metropolitan due to prolonged drought or other
supply shortfall conditions.The actions will help the region avoid or minimize the impacts of
shortages and ensure an equitable allocation ofsupplies throughout the San Diego region.
6.2.1.1 Water Authority-Imperial Irrigation District Water Conservation and Transfer
Agreement
The QSA was signed in October 2003,and resolves long-standing disputes regarding priority
and use ofColorado River water and creates a baseline for implementing water transfers.With
approval ofthe QSA,the Water Authority and IID were able to implement their Water
Conservation and Transfer Agreement.This agreement not only provides reliability for the San
Diego region,but also assists California in reducing its use ofColorado River water to its legal
allocation.
24
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
On April 29,1998,the Water Authority signed a historic agreement with liD for the long-tenn
transfer of conserved Colorado River water to San Diego County.The Water Authority-IID
Water Conservation and Transfer Agreement (Transfer Agreement)is the largest agriculture-to-
urban water transfer in United States history.Colorado River water will be conserved by
Imperial Valley fanners who voluntarily participate in the program and then transferred to the
Water Authority for use in San Diego County.
Implementation Status
On October 10,2003,the Water Authority and liD executed an amendment to the original 1998
Transfer Agreement.This amendment modified certain aspects ofthe 1998 Agreement to be
consistent with the tenns and conditions ofthe QSA and related agreements.It also modified
other aspects ofthe agreement to lessen the environmental impacts ofthe transfer ofconserved
water.The amendment was expressly contingent on the approval and implementation ofthe
QSA,which was also executed on October 10,2003.
On November 5,2003,liD filed a complaint in Imperial County Superior Court seeking
validation of 13 contracts associated with the Transfer Agreement and the QSA.Imperial
County and various private parties filed additional suits in Superior Court,alleging violations of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),the California Water Code,and other laws
related to the approval ofthe QSA,the water transfer,and related agreements.The lawsuits have
been coordinated for trial.The liD,Coachella Valley Water District,Metropolitan,the Water
Authority,and State are defending these suits and coordinating to seek validation ofthe
contracts.Implementation of the transfer provisions is proceeding during litigation.For further
and the latest infonnation regarding the litigation and current progress,please contact the Water
Authority's General Counsel.
Expected Supply
Deliveries into San Diego County from the transfer began in 2003 with an initial transfer of
10,000 ac-ft.The Water Authority received 20,000 ac-ft in 2004,30,000 in 2005,and 40,000 in
2006.The quantities will increase annually to 200,000 ac-ft by 2021 then remain fixed for the
duration ofthe Transfer Agreement.The initial tenn ofthe Transfer Agreement is 45 years,with
a provision that either agency may extend the agreement for an additional 30-year tenn.
During dry years,when water availability is low,the conserved water will be transferred under
the liD Colorado River rights,which are among the most senior in the Lower Colorado River
Basin.Without the protection ofthese rights,the Water Authority could suffer delivery
cutbacks.In recognition for the value ofsuch reliability,the 1998 contract required the Water
Authority to pay a premium on transfer water under defined regional shortage circumstances.
The shortage premium period duration is the period of consecutive days during which any ofthe
following exist:1)a Water Authority shortage;2)a shortage condition for the Lower Colorado
River as declared by the Secretary;and 3)a Critical Year.Under tenus ofthe October 2003
25
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
amendment,the shortage premium will not be included in the cost formula until Agreement Year
16.
Transportation
The Water Authority entered into a water exchange agreement with Metropolitan on October 10,
2003,to transport the Water Authority-lID transfer water from the Colorado River to San Diego
County.Under the exchange agreement,Metropolitan will take delivery ofthe transfer water
through its Colorado River Aqueduct.In exchange,Metropolitan will deliver to the Water
Authority a like quantity and quality ofwater.The Water Authority will pay Metropolitan's
applicable wheeling rate for each acre-foot ofexchange water delivered.According to the water
exchange agreement,Metropolitan will make delivery ofthe transfer water for 35 years,unless
the Water Authority elects to extend the agreement another 10 years for a total of45 years.
Cost/Financing
The costs associated with the transfer are proposed to be financed through the Water
Authority's rates and charges.In the agreement between the Water Authority and IID,the
price for the transfer water started at $258 per acre-foot and increases by a set amount for the
first five years.The 2005 price for transfer water is $276 per acre-foot.Procedures are in
place to evaluate and determine market-based rates following the first five-year period.
In accordance with the October 2003 amended exchange agreement between Metropolitan
and the Water Authority,the initial cost to transport the conserved water was $253 per acre-
foot.Thereafter,the price would be equal to the charge or charges set by Metropolitan's
Board of Directors pursuant to applicable laws and regulation,and generally applicable to the
conveyance ofwater by Metropolitan on behalfofits member agencies.The transportation
charge in 2005 was $258 per acre-foot.
The Water Authority is providing $10 million to help offset potential socioeconomic impacts
associated with temporary land fallowing.IID will credit the Water Authority for these funds
during years 16 through 45.At the end ofthe fifth year of the transfer agreement (2007),the
Water Authority will prepay IID an additional $10 million for future deliveries ofwater.IID
will credit the Water Authority for this up-front payment during years 16 through 30.
As part ofimplementation ofthe QSA and water transfer,the Water Authority also entered
into an environmental cost sharing agreement.The agreement specifies that the Water
Authority will contribute $64 million for the purpose offunding environmental mitigation
costs and contributing to the Salton Sea Restoration Fund.

6.2.1.2 All-American Canal and Coachella Canal Lining Projects
As part of the QSA and related contracts,the Water Authority was assigned Metropolitan's
rights to 77,700 ac-ft/yr of conserved water from projects that will line the All-American
Canal (AAC)and Coachella Canal (CC).The projects will reduce the loss ofwater that
currently occurs through seepage,and the conserved water will be delivered to the Water
Authority.This conserved water will provide the San Diego region with an additional 8.5
million acre-feet over the 11 O-year life ofthe agreement.
Implementation Status
The Coachella Canal lining project is complete and operational and the All-American Canal
lining project is operational complete with some remaining construction activities to be
concluded.
Earthwork for the Coachella Canal lining project began in November 2004 and involves
approximately 37 miles ofcanal.National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)and CEQA

documentation is complete,including an amended Record ofDecision by the U.S.Bureau of
Reclamation (USBR).The amendment was required after revising the project design:instead
oflining the canal in place,the project entailed the construction ofa parallel canal.The
project was completed in 2006,and deliveries of conserved water started in 2007.
The construction related activities are mostly complete on the AAC lining project.The lining
project consists ofconstructing a concrete-lined canal parallel to 24 miles ofthe existing AAC
from Pilot Knob to Drop 3.
In July 2005,a lawsuit (CDEMv United States,Case No.CV-S-05-0870-KJD-PAL)was filed
in the U.S.District Court for the District ofNevada on behalfofU.S.and Mexican groups
challenging the lining ofthe AAC.The lawsuit,which names the Secretary ofthe Interior as
a defendant,claims that seepage water from the canal belongs to water users in Mexico.
California water agencies note that the seepage water is actually part of California's Colorado
River allocation and not part of Mexico's allocation.The plaintiffs also allege a failure by the
United States to comply with environmental laws.Federal officials have stated that they
intend to vigorously defend the case.
Expected Supply
The AAC lining project will yield 67,700 acre-feet per year ofColorado River water for
allocation upon completion ofconstruction.The CC lining project will yield 26,000 acre-feet
ofColorado River water each year available for allocation upon completion of construction.
The October 10,2003,Allocation Agreement states that 16,000 acre-feet per year of
conserved CC lining water will be allocated to the San Luis Rey Indian Water Rights
Settlement Parties.The remaining amount,10,000 acre-feet per year from the CC lining
conserved water plus the 67,700 acre-feet per year AAC lining conserved water totaling
77,700 acre-feet per year,will be available to the Water Authority.According to the
Allocation Agreement,IID has call rights to a portion (5,000 acre-feet per year)ofthe
conserved water upon termination ofthe QSA for the remainder ofthe 110 years of the
Allocation Agreement and upon satisfying certain conditions.The term ofthe QSA is for up
to 75 years.
Transportation
The October 10,2003,Exchange Agreement between the Water Authority and Metropolitan
also provides for the delivery ofthe conserved water from the canal lining projects.The
Water Authority will pay Metropolitan's applicable wheeling rate for each acre-foot of
exchange water delivered.In the Agreement,Metropolitan will deliver the canal lining water
for the term ofthe Allocation Agreement (110 years).

Code Section 79567,$20 million from Proposition 50 is also available for the lining projects.
Additionally,the Water Authority will receive $35 million for groundwater conjunctive use
projects as part ofthe agreement.The Water Authority would be responsible for additional
expenses above the funds provided by the state.
The rate to be paid to transport the canal lining water will be equal to the charge or charges set
by Metropolitan's Board ofDirectors pursuant to applicable law and regulation and generally
applicable to the conveyance ofwater by Metropolitan on behalfofits member agencies.
In accordance with the Allocation Agreement,the Water Authority will also be responsible
for a portion of the net additional Operation,Maintenance,and Repair (OM&R)costs for the
lined canals.Any costs associated with the lining projects as proposed,are to be financed
through the Water Authority's rates and charges.

description ofeach ofthe projects and programs being implemented to ensure existing and
future facilities are adequate to deliver water supplies throughout the region.The project
costs,along with information on the activities that need to be completed,are included in the
CIP document.The Water Authority's Master Plan identifies future facilities and other
improvements to the Water Authority's system that are necessary to maintain reliability
throughout the region.A programmatic environmental impact report was certified by the
Water Authority Board of Directors for the Master Plan in November 2003.Projects
identified in the Master Plan will be included in the CIP based on Water Authority Board of
Directors'approval.Infonnation on the Water Authority's most recent CIP can be found on
the internet at www.sdcwa.orglinfra/cip.phtml.

One of the highest priority projects identified in the Master Plan is the development of
additional treatment capacity within the region.During recent summers,the Water Authority
experienced peak-demand conditions that have exceeded the region's rated treatment
capacity.The Master Plan recommended development ofan additional 50 mgd oftreatment
capacity immediately and another 50 mgd capacity by 2010.In response to this
recommendation,the Water Authority board ofdirectors in September 2005,approved
construction of a 100 mgd water treatment plant.The water treatment plant was completed
and placed into operation in 2008.
The Master Plan also identified carryover storage as a way to improve water supply reliability
for the region.The Water Authority identified the three main benefits ofcarryover storage as:
1)enhance water supply reliability by providing a reliable and readily available source of
water during periods ofpotential shortage,such as during dry years;2)increase system
efficiency by providing operational flexibility to serve above normal demands,such as those
occurring in dry years,from storage rather than by the over-sizing ofthe Water Authority's
imported water transmission facilities;and 3)better management ofwater supplies to allow
the Water Authority to accept additional imported deliveries during periods of availability,
such as during wet years,to ensure water availability during dry years.The Water Authority
prepared an EIR/EIS for a carryover storage project,with the preferred alternative being an
expansion ofthe San Vicente Reservoir.
The Water Authority Board ofDirectors is provided a semi-annual and annual report on the
status ofdevelopment ofthe elP projects.As described in the Water Authority's biennial
budget,a combination oflong and short term debt and cash (pay-as-you-go)will provide
funding for capital improvements.Additional information is included in the Water
Authority's biennial budget,which also contains selected financial information and
summarizes the Water Authority's investment policy.

expansion,and seawater desalination supplies by the Otay WD have evolved and are planned
to occur in response to the regional water supply issues.These water supply projects are in
addition to those identified as sustainable supplies in the current Water Authority and
Metropolitan UWMP,IRP,Master Plans,and other planning documents.These new
additional water supply projects are not currently developed and are in various stages of the
33
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
planning process.These local and regional water supply projects will allow for less reliance
upon imported water and are considered a new water supply resource for the Otay WD.
The Otay WD expansion ofthe market areas for the use ofrecycled water within the
watersheds upstream ofthe Sweetwater Reservoir and the Lower Otay Reservoir,and Otay
Mesa will increase recycled water use and thus require less dependence on imported water for
irrigation purposes.
The supply forecasts contained within this WSA Report do consider development and/or
acquisition ofpotential groundwater,recycled water market expansion,and seawater
desalination supplies by the Otay WD.
6.3.1 Availability of Sufficient Supplies and Plans for Acquiring Additional Supplies
The availability ofsufficient potable water supplies and plans for acquiring additional potable
water supplies to serve existing and future demands of the Otay WD is founded upon the
preceding discussions regarding Metropolitan's and the Water Authority's water supply
resources and water supplies to be acquired by the Otay WD.Historic imported water
deliveries from the Water Authority to Otay WD and recycled water deliveries from the Otay
WD Ralph W.Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF)are shown in Table 8.
Since the year 2000 through mid May 2007,recycled water demand has exceeded the
recycled water supply capability typically in the summer months.The RWCWRF is limited
to a maximum production ofabout 1,300 ac-ft/yr.The recycled water supply shortfall had
been met by supplementing with potable water into the recycled water storage system as
needed by adding potable water supplied by the Water Authority.On May 18,2007 an
additional source ofrecycled water supply from the City ofSan Diego's South Bay Water
Reclamation Plant (SBWRP)became available.The supply ofrecycled water from the
SBWRP is a result of completing construction and commencement ofoperations ofthe
transmission,storage,and pump station systems necessary to link the SBWRP recycled water
supply source to the existing Otay WD recycled water system.

The availability ofsufficient imported and regional potable water supplies to serve existing
and planned uses within Otay WD is demonstrated in the above discussion on Metropolitan
and the Water Authority's water supply reliability.The County Water Authority Act,Section
5 subdivision 11,states that the Water Authority "as far as practicable,shall provide each of
its member agencies with adequate supplies of water to meet their expanding and increasing
needs."The Water Authority provides between 75 to 95 percent of the total supplies used by
its 24 member agencies,depending on local weather and supply conditions.In calendar year
2009 the supply to Otay WD was 37,566 ac-ft ofsupply from the Water Authority.An
additional 4,533 ac-ft ofrecycled water was received from the City ofSan Diego and from the
District's Ralph W.Chapman Water Reclamation Facility.The demand for potable water
within the Otay WD is expected to increase to about 72,900 ac-ft by 2025 as per the Otay WD
2005 UWMP.These figures take into account the amount oflocal supply (i.e.groundwater,
conservation,recycling,etc.)that is expected to meet demands within Otay WD service area.
Potable Water System Facilities
The Otay WD continues to pursue diversification ofits water supply resources to increase
reliability and flexibility.The Otay WD also continues to plan,design,and construct potable
water system facilities to obtain these supplies and to distribute potable water to meet
customer demands.The Otay WD has successfully negotiated two water supply
diversification agreements that enhance reliability and flexibility,which are briefly described
as follows.
•The Otay WD entered into an agreement with the City of San Diego,known as the Otay
Water Treatment Plant (WTP)Agreement.The Otay WTP Agreement provides for raw
water purchase from the Water Authority and treatment by the City ofSan Diego at their
35
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
OtayWTP for delivery to Otay WD.The supply system link to implement the Otay
WTP Agreement to access the regions raw water supply system and the local water
treatment plant became fully operational in August 2005.This supply link consists ofthe
typical storage,transmission,pumping,flow measurement,and appurtenances to receive
and transport the treated water to the Otay WD system.The City of San Diego
obligation to supply 10 mgd of treated water under the Otay WTP Agreement is
contingent upon there being available 10 mgd ofsurplus treatment capacity in the Otay
WTP until such time as OtayWD pays the City ofSan Diego to expand the Otay WTP to
meet the Otay WD future needs.In the event that the City ofSan Diego's surplus is
projected to be less than 10 mgd the City ofSan Diego will consider and not
unreasonably refuse the expansion ofthe Otay WTP to meet the Otay WD future needs.
The Otay WTP existing rated capacity is 40 mgd with an actual effective capacity of
approximately 34 mgd.The City ofSan Diego's typical demand for treated water from
the Otay WTP is approximately 20 mgd.It is at the City ofSan Diego's discretion to
utilize either imported raw water delivered by the Water Authority Pipeline No.3 or local
water stored in Lower Otay Reservoir for treatment to supply the Otay WD demand.
•The Otay WD entered into an agreement with the Water Authority,known as the East
County Regional Treated Water Improvement Program (ECRTWIP Agreement).The
ECRTWIP Agreement provides for transmission ofraw water to the Helix WD R.M.
Levy WTP for treatment and delivery to Otay WD.The supply system link to implement
the ECRTWIP Agreement is complete allowing access to the regions raw water supply
system and the local water treatment plant.This supply link consists ofthe typical
transmission,pumping,storage,flow control,and appurtenances to receive and transport
the potable water from the R.M.Levy WTP to Otay WD.The Otay WD is required to
take a minimum of 10,000 ac-ft/yr oftreated water from the R.M.Levy WTP supplied
from the regions raw water system.
Cost and Financing
The capital improvement costs associated with water supply and delivery are financed
through the Otay WD water meter capacity fee and user rate structures.The Otay WD
potable water sales revenue are used to pay for the wholesale cost ofthe treated water supply
and the operating and maintenance expenses of the potable water system facilities.
Written Agreements,Contracts,or Other Proof
The supply and cost associated with deliveries oftreated water from the Otay WTP and the R.M.
Levy WTP is based on the following documents.
Agreement for the Purchase ofTreated Water from the Otay Water Treatment Plant between the
City ofSan Diego and the Otay Water District.The Otay WD entered into an agreement dated
January 11,1999 with the City ofSan Diego that provides for 10 mgd ofsurplus treated water to
the Otay WD from the existing Otay WTP capacity.The agreement allows for the purchase of
treated water on an as available basis from the Otay WTP.The Otay WD pays the Water
36

Authority at the prevailing raw water rate for raw water and pays the City ofSan Diego at a rate
equal to the actual cost oftreatment to potable water standards.
Agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority and Otay Water District Regarding
Implementation ofthe East County Regional Treated Water Improvement Program.The
ECRTWIP Agreement requires the purchase ofat least 10,000 ac-ft per year ofpotable water
from the Helix WD R.M.Levy WTP at the prevailing Water Authority treated water rate.The
ECRTWIP Agreement is dated April 27,2006.
Agreement between the San Diego County Water Authority and Otay Water District for Design,
Construction,Operation,and Maintenance ofthe Otay 14 Flow Control Facility Modification.
The Otay WD entered into the Otay 14 Flow Control Facility Modification Agreement dated
January 24,2007 with the Water Authority to increase the physical capacity ofthe Otay 14 Flow
Control Facility.The Water Authority and Otay WD to 50%share the capital cost to expand its
capacity from 8 mgd to 16 mgd.
Federal,State,and Local Permits/Approvals
The Otay WD constructed the pipeline and pump station associated with the Otay WTP
supply source and for the 640-1 and 640-2 water storage reservoirs project associated with the
ECRTWIP after securing all of the permits and completing the CEQA documentation.
The transmission main project constructed about 26,000 feet ofa 36-inch diameter steel
pipeline from the Otay 14 Flow Control Facility to the 640-1 and 640-2 Reservoirs project.
The Otay 14 Flow Control Facility modification increased the capacity ofthe existing systems
from 8 mgd to 16 mgd.CEQA documentation is complete for both projects.Construction of
both of these projects was completed October 2010.
The City ofSan Diego and the Helix Water District are required to meet all applicable federal,
state,and local health and water quality requirements for the potable water produced at the
Otay WTP and the R.M.Levy WTP respectively.
6.3.1.2 Recycled Water Supplies
Wastewater collection,treatment,and disposal services provided by the Otay WD is limited to
a relatively small area within what is known as the Jamacha Basin,located within the Middle
Sweetwater River Basin watershed upstream ofthe Sweetwater Reservoir and downstream of
Loveland Reservoir.Water recycling is defined as the treatment and disinfection of
municipal wastewater to provide a water supply suitable for non-potable reuse.The Otay WD
owns and operates the Ralph W.Chapman Water Reclamation Facility,which produces
recycled water treated to a tertiary level for landscape irrigation purposes.The recycled water
market area ofthe Otay WD is located primarily within the eastern area ofthe City ofChula
Vista and on the Otay Mesa.The Otay WD distributes recycled water to a substantial market
37
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
area that includes but is not limited to the U.S.Olympic Training Center,the EastLake Golf
Course,Otay Ranch,and other development projects.
The Otay WD projects that annual average demands for recycled water will increase to about
6,294 ac-ft/yr by 2025 and are estimated to approach 10,000 ac-ft/yr at ultimate build out for
irrigation purposes.About 1,300 ac-ft/yr of supply is generated by the RWCWRF,with the
remainder planned to be supplied to Otay WD by the City of San Diego's SBWRP.
North District Recycled Water Concept
The Otay WD is a recognized leader in the use ofrecycled water for irrigation and other
commercial uses.The Otay WD continues the quest to investigate all viable opportunities to
expand the successful recycled water program into areas that are not currently served.One of
these areas is in the portion ofthe service area designated as the North District,located within
the Middle Sweetwater River Basin watershed upstream ofthe Sweetwater River.The close
proximity ofthe recycled water markets in the North District to the Otay WD source of
recycled water,the RWCWRF,means that the distribution system to serve this area could be
constructed relatively cost effectively.This makes the North District a logica110cation for the
expansion ofthe Otay WD recycled water system and market area.
The purpose ofthe North District Recycled Water System Development Project,Phase I
Concept Study,is to identify the feasibility ofusing recycled water in the North District and
to investigate and assess any limitations or constraints to its use.The Phase I study
components ofthe North District Recycled Water Concept encompassed the preparation of
six technical memorandums including the project definition,a discussion ofthe regulatory
process,a discussion ofthe protection of the watershed that would be affected by recycled
water use in the North District,identification ofstakeholders,public outreach,and an
implementation plan.
Several opportunities that could be realized with the implementation of the use ofrecycled
water in the North District were identified.These include a reduction ofdemand on the
potable water system and maximizing recycled water resources which in tum minimizes
treated wastewater discharges to the local ocean outfall.Other opportunities are a possible
partnership with Sweetwater Authority to monitor any benefits and impacts of increased
recycled water use in the watershed and stakeholder outreach to resolve any water quality
concerns and to retain consumer confidence.Also identified were two major constraints
associated with the North District Recycled Water System Development Project.One
constraint is the water quality objectives for the Middle Sweetwater Basin that will affect the
effluent limitations for the recycled water produced at the RWCWRF.At this time,the
effluent limit that is ofconcern is total nitrogen.An examination as to how the treatment
process might be modified to enhance nitrogen removal and a design is underway to remedy
the total nitrogen issue.The other major constraint is the cost ofthe infrastructure needed to
convey and store recycled water in the North District.These costs are estimated to be in the
range of $14 to $15 million dollars.

There are two additional phases proposed for the North District Recycled Water System
Development Project.Phase II would include further investigation ofthe issues identified in
Phase I as requiring further study.These include stakeholder outreach,regulatory issues,and
facility planning.The third phase ofthe effort would include the facility planning,permitting,
environmental compliance,design,and construction of the improvements necessary for
delivery ofrecycled water to the North District markets.
The estimated amount ofimported water saved at full implementation ofthe North District
Recycled Water System Development Project is 1,200 ac-ft/yr.This saved imported water
could than be used to offset new potable water demands.
Recycled Water System Facilities
The Otay WD has and continues to construct recycled water storage,pumping,transmission,
and distribution facilities to meet projected recycled water market demands.For nearly 20
years,millions ofdollars ofcapital improvements have been constructed.The supply link
consisting of a transmission main,storage reservoir,and a pump station to receive and
transport the recycled water from the City of San Diego's SBWRP are complete and recycled
water deliveries began on May 18,2007.
Cost and Financing
The capital improvement costs associated with the recycled water supply and distribution
systems are financed through the Otay WD water meter capacity fee and user rate structures.
The Otay WD recycled water sales revenue,along with Metropolitan and the Water
Authority's recycled water sales incentive programs are used to help offset the costs for the
wholesale purchase and production ofthe recycled water supply,the operating and
maintenance expenses,and the capital costs ofthe recycled water system facilities.
Written Agreements,Contracts,or Other Proof
The supply and cost associated with deliveries ofrecycled water from the SBWRP is based on
the following document.
Agreement between the Otay Water District and the City ofSan Diego for Purchase of
Reclaimed Water from the South Bay Water Reclamation Plant.The agreement provides for the
purchase ofat least 6,721 ac-ft per year ofrecycled water from the SBWRP at an initial price of
$350 per acre-foot.The OtayWD Board ofDirectors approved the final agreement on June 4,
2003 and the San Diego City Council approved the final agreement on October 20,2003.

Federal,State,and Local Permits/Approvals
The Otay WD has in place an agreement with Metropolitan for their recycled water sales
incentive program for supplies from the RWCWRF and the SBWRP.Also,the Otay WD has
in place an agreement with the Water Authority for their recycled water sales incentive
program for supplies from the RWCWRF and the SBWRP.The Water Authority sales
incentive agreement was approved by Water Authority on July 26,2007 and by Otay WD on
August 1,2007.All permits for the construction ofthe recycled water facilities to receive,
store,and pump the SBWRP supply have been acquired through the typical planning,
environmental approval,design,and construction processes.
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Diego Region (RWQCB)"Master
Reclamation Permit for Otay Water District Ralph W.Chapman Reclamation Facility"was
adopted on May 9,2007 (Order No.R9-2007-0038).This order establishes master
reclamation requirements for the production,distribution,and use ofrecycled water in the
.Otay WD service area.The order includes the use oftertiary treated water produced and
received from the City ofSan Diego's SBWRP.Recycled water received from and produced
by the SBWRP is regulated by Regional Board Order No.2000-203 and addenda.The City
of San Diego is required to meet all applicable federal,state,and local health and water
quality requirements for the recycled water produced at the SBWRP and delivered to Otay
WD in conformance with Order No.2000-203.
6.3.1.3 Potential Groundwater Supplies
The Otay WD 2009 WRMP,2005 UWMP,and the Otay WD March 2007 Integrated Water
Resources Plan (2007 IRP)both contain a description ofthe development ofpotential
groundwater supplies.Over the past several years,Otay WD has studied numerous potential
groundwater supply options that have shown,through groundwater monitoring well activities,
poor quality water and/or insufficient yield from the basins at a cost effective level.The Otay
WD has developed capital improvement program projects to continue the quest to develop
potential groundwater resources.Local Otay WD groundwater supply development is
currently considered as a viable water supply resource to meet projected demands.
The development and/or acquisition ofpotential groundwater supply projects by the Otay WD
have evolved and have been resurrected in response to the regional water supply issues related
to water source supply conditions.Local ground water supply projects will allow for less
reliance upon imported water,achieve a level ofindependence of the regional wholesale
water agencies,and diversify the Otay WD water supply portfolio consistent the Otay WD
2007IRP.
In recognition ofthe need to develop sufficient alternative water supplies,the Otay WD has
taken the appropriate next steps towards development ofproduction groundwater well
projects.

There are four groundwater well projects that the Otay WD is actively pursuing to develop as
new local water supplies.They are known as the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well,the Otay Mesa Lot 7 Groundwater Well,the Rancho del Rey Groundwater
Well,and the Otay River Groundwater Well Desalination project.
Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well
The Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well is a new additional water supply
project had been thoroughly studied and documented in the 1990's.The Middle Sweetwater
River Basin is located within the Sweetwater River watershed and is that reach ofthe river
from Sweetwater Reservoir to the upstream Loveland Reservoir.The next step in
development ofthe Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well is the implementation
ofa pilot well project.
The Otay WD in cooperation with Sweetwater Authority and the Water Authority prepared a
water resources audit for the Middle Sweetwater River Groundwater Basin in June 1991.The
document was prepared by NBS Lowry and is entitled "Middle Sweetwater River System
Study Water Resources Audit".The report was prepared as part ofan overall study to
identify and evaluate water management alternatives within the Middle Sweetwater River
System (MSRS).The report graphically summaries water resources data for the MSRS.
The Otay WD in cooperation with Sweetwater Authority and the Water Authority prepared an
alternatives evaluation study ofthe Middle Sweetwater River System Study Water Resources
Audit in May 1993.The document was prepared by Michael R.Welch and is entitled
"Middle Sweetwater River System Study Alternatives Evaluation".The overall goal ofthe
study was to identify physical projects and/or management strategies which could enhance the
availability and quality ofsurface and ground waters within the MSRS.
The Otay WD prepared potential conjunctive use strategies for the Middle Sweetwater River
Basin in September 1994.A report was prepared by Michael R.Welch and is entitled
"Middle Sweetwater River Basin Conjunctive Use Alternatives".The report was prepared for
the consideration ofthe Otay WD and Sweetwater Authority.The conceptual level planning
information within report identifies and evaluates eight conjunctive use alternatives within the
Middle Sweetwater River Basin.
The ultimate objective of the Otay WD is to develop a groundwater well production system
within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable ofproducing a sustainable yield ofpotable
water as a local supply.
The purpose ofthe Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot project is to
identify the feasibility ofdeveloping a groundwater resource production system and to
determine and assess any limitations or constraints that may arise.
41
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
The Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot Project scope of work will
accomplish six primary goals as follows:
•Update project setting
•Update applicable project alternatives analysis
•Prepare groundwater well pilot project implementation plan
•Construct and test pilot monitoring and extraction wells
•Provide recommendations regarding costs and feasibility to develop a groundwater
well production system within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable of
producing a sustainable yield of potable water
•Prepare groundwater well production project implementation plan and scope ofwork
The groundwater conjunctive use concept planned to be developed is described as the
extraction ofthe quantity ofwater from the groundwater basin that was placed there by
customers ofthe Otay WD by means oftheir use ofimported treated water that contributed to
the overall volume of groundwater within the basin.This quantity has been estimated to be
on the order of 12.5%ofthe total consumption ofthe Otay WD customers within that basin as
measured by their water meters.In the 1994/1995 time frame 810 ac-ft/yr was the estimated
quantity that was placed into the groundwater basin.Currently,that 12.5%quantity could be
on the order of 1,000 ac-ft/yr.The consultant contract scope of work will address this Phase I
concept while further development of the groundwater basin as an additional supply resource
is appropriately considered.
Further development ofthe groundwater basin to enhance the total groundwater production
could be accomplished by the Otay WD by means ofadditional extraction ofwater from the
basin that is placed there by means ofeither injection and/or spreading basins using imported
untreated water as the resource supply (Phase II).The existing La Mesa Sweetwater
Extension Pipeline,owned by the Water Authority,once converted to an untreated water
deliver system,could be the conveyance system to transport untreated water for this
conjunctive use concept.
These two distinct water resource supply conjunctive use concepts will be addressed so they
may coexist and to allow for their development as separate phases.
The scope of work to complete Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot
Project consists ofmany major tasks and is to address the groundwater supply concepts
outlined above.It is anticipated that the cost for the entire scope of work,will be on the order
of $2,000,000,which includes a contingency and may take up to one and a half years to
complete.
The primary desired outcome ofthe Middle Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Pilot
Project is for the engineering consultant to determine and make recommendations if it is
financially prudent and physically feasible to develop a Phase I groundwater well production
system within the Middle Sweetwater River Basin capable of producing a sustainable yield of
42
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
up to 1,500 ac-ft/yr ofpotable water for the Otay WD.Ifit is deemed that a Middle
Sweetwater River Basin Groundwater Well Production Project is viable than the consultant
will develop and provide a groundwater well production project implementation plan and
related scope ofwork.
Otay Mesa Lot 7 Groundwater Well
In early 2001 the Otay WD was approached by a landowner representative about possible
interest in purchasing an existing well or alternatively,acquiring groundwater supplied from
the well located on Otay Mesa.The landowner,National Enterprises,Inc.,reportedly stated
that the well could produce 3,200 ac-ft/yr with little or no treatment required prior to
introducing the water into the Otay WD potable water system or alternatively,the recycled
water system.In March 2001 authorization to proceed with testing of the Otay Mesa Lot 7
Groundwater Well was obtained and the Otay WD proceeded with the investigation ofthis
potential groundwater supply opportunity.
The May 2001 Geoscience Support Services,Inc.completed for the Otay WD the preparation
of a report entitled,"Otay Mesa Lot 7 Well Investigation,"to assess the Otay Mesa Lot 7
Well.The scope ofwork included a geohydrologic evaluation ofthe well,analyses ofthe
water quality samples,management and review ofthe well video log,and documentation of
well pump testing.
The primary findings,as documented in the report,formed the basis ofthe following
recommendations:
•For the existing well to be use as a potable water supply resource,a sanitary seal must
be installed in accordance with the CDPH guidelines.
•Drawdown in the well must be limited to avoid the possibility ofcollapsing the casing.
•Recover from drawdown from pumping is slow and extraction would need to be
terminated for up to 2 days to allow for groundwater level recovery.
•The well water would need to be treated and/or blended with potable water prior to
introduction into the potable water distribution system.
In October 2001,the outcome and recommendations ofthe Geoscience Support Services,Inc.
Otay Mesa Lot 7 Well efforts were presented to the Otay WD Board ofDirectors.The
existing Otay Mesa Lot 7 Well,based upon the above findings,was determined not to be a
reliable municipal supply ofpotable water and that better water quality and quantity perhaps
could be discovered deeper or at an alternative location within the San Diego Formation.
The Otay WD is continuing to pursue the Otay Mesa groundwater well opportunity with due
consideration ofthe recommendations ofthe existing report and plans to develop a
groundwater well production facility to extract perhaps at least 600 ac-ft/yr.The steps
necessary to put such a well into production are as follows:
43
Dtay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
•Review the results ofavailable water quality data,video survey for casing and screen
condition,and pump testing.
•Investigate,discover,and confirm a reliable sufficient quality and quantity ofsource
water.
•Establish feasibility and cost effectiveness ofa production well system.
•Negotiate the purchase ofa well site.
•Proceed with the planning,environmental compliance,permitting,design,and
construction of a groundwater well production system.
Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well
In 1991,the McMillin Development Company drilled the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well
to augment grading water supplies for their Rancho del Rey development projects.Although
the well was considered a "good producer,"little was known regarding its water quality and
sustainable yield for the water was used solely for earthwork (i.e.dust control and soil
compaction).The well was drilled to 865 feet,with a finished depth of830 feet and produced
approximately 400 ac-ft/yr oflow quality water for four years until its use was discontinued in
April 1995 as McMillin Development Company no longer needed the well.McMillin
Development Company had previously notified the Otay WD ofits intent to sell offthe
groundwater well asset.
The Otay WD continued discussions with McMillin Development Company and decided to
determine ifthe Otay WD could use the water from the well and establish ifpurchase the
property along with the existing well were appropriate.The Otay WD retained Quality
Assurance Laboratories to conduct water quality testing in February 1995.It was established
that the water from the well had a high total dissolved solids levels that exceeded well over
2,000 milligrams per liter.The Otay WD also retained engineering and well drilling firms,
Barrett Consulting Group and Multi Water Systems respectively,which performed pump
draw down tests in December 1995.The results ofthese efforts established the well's long
term yield to be about 629 ac-ft/yr.In February 1996 the Otay WD retained Boyle
Engineering Corporation to prepare a feasibility study to compare alternatives for treating and
using the groundwater and to provide a benefit/cost analysis.The September 1996 Boyle
Engineering Corporation,"Groundwater Treatment Feasibility Study Ranch del Ray Well
Site,"report concluded that a Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project could be feasible.It
was established that both capital and operation and maintenance costs would require the well
to produce at least 700 ac-ft/yr for a minimum often years to make the project economically
viable.In October 1997 the Otay WD became owners ofthe property and well.
In May 1997 the Otay WD prepared and submitted to CDPH an Application for an Amended
Operating Permit to add as a source water supply the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well.The
CDPH established that it would not issue an amended permit for the operation ofthe Rancho
del Rey Groundwater Well and any related treatment facilities until the system design and
specifications have reviewed and approved and the facilities must pass field inspection
following construction.
44
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
In April 1998 the Otay WD received four proposals from consultants interested in designing
the project.These proposals came in at almost double the estimated cost and in March 2000
the Otay WD decided to suspend further work on the developing the Rancho del Rey
Groundwater Well until the project becomes economically viable or other circumstance would
make it desirable to pursue development ofthe well.
In 2009 the Otay WD decided to reestablish the pursuit ofthe Rancho del Rey Groundwater
Well project based upon the current water supply and water pricing conditions.Toward this
end,in January 2010,the Board authorized Phase I ofthe project,the drilling and
development ofthe Ranch del Rey Well.A new 12-inch production well was drilled 900 feet
below through the groundwater formation and into fractured bedrock below.Testing
completed in September 2010,showed the long-term yield to be 450 gpm,higher than the
previous studies had estimated.
Separation Processes,Inc.(SPI)conducted a detailed economic analysis to confirm the
annualized unit cost ofthe new water source was economically viable.The SPI study was
complete in November 2010 and on January,2011,the Board authorized staffto proceed with
the design ofa wellhead treatment facility.
Otay River Groundwater Desalination Facility
Many local entities in San Diego County have studied the San Diego Formation and are
interested in its potable water supply potential.These include the Sweetwater Authority,the
Water Authority,City of San Diego,Otay WD,and the United Stated Geological Service.
The San Diego Formation extends from the California-Mexico border to near Mission Bay in
San Diego County,a distance ofapproximately 16 miles and from the coast to approximately
six miles inland.
What is known about the San Diego Formation is that the geology is complex,and at present,
only partly understood.The heterogeneity ofthe aquifer makes it extremely difficult to
accurately predict groundwater flow or well performance.Few,ifany,investigations have
been performed on the San Diego Formation in the Otay River Valley.Most ofthe
knowledge is based in the Sweetwater River Valley and the Tijuana River Valley.Therefore,
the Otay River Groundwater Desalination Facility (Otay River)project would produce
valuable and useful data to aid in characterizing the San Diego Formation that could
ultimately lead to the production ofpotable water.
The objective of Otay WD and Sweetwater Authority is to plan,and potentially permit,
design,and construct an Otay River project within the Lower Otay River Basin capable of
producing a sustainable yield ofpotable water as a local supply.The Lower Otay River Basin
is located within the Otay River watershed and is that reach ofthe river below the Lower Otay
45
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
Reservoir.The San Diego Formation is the principal aquifer in the South San Diego Bay area
and underlies the Otay River Basin and other river basins.
The purpose ofthe Otay River project is to increase the quantity oflocal water supply within
the South San Diego Bay region by development ofa brackish groundwater well and
desalination production system to extract,to the maximum extent practical,groundwater from
the San Diego Formation;thereby,reducing imported and treated water demand from the
Water Authority and Metropolitan.
The development ofthe Otay River project is being developed in a phased approach.The
Sweetwater Authority and Otay WD are proceeding with the Otay River project and are
participating in all phases of development and intend share equally all aspects and outcomes
such as costs,risks,water supply,benefits,etc.
The Otay River project effort is currently being accomplished in two phases.Phase I,which
is well underway,is envisioned as the planning and feasibility aspects ofthe project intended
to determine the viability ofextracting brackish groundwater from the San Diego Formation
with the purpose to eventually construct brackish groundwater desalination treatment and
transport facilities.Phase II is envisioned as proceeding with a pilot project,environmental
compliance,permitting,design,construction,operation,maintenance,and other requirements
ofthe Otay River project production and transport facilities to treat the groundwater and
deliver the produced potable water to customers ofboth Sweetwater Authority and Otay WD.
Proceeding with Phase II is dependent upon the outcomes ofthe Phase I efforts.
In 2006,Sweetwater Authority,in partnership with Otay WD received notification from the
California Department ofWater Resources (DWR)that Sweetwater Autholity had been
selected to receive a matching grant for the Otay River Basin Brackish Groundwater
Desalination Study.The grant amount from DWR is $242,000.The combined Sweetwater
Authority and Otay WD contribution is $357,000,for a total of$599,000 to accomplish the
DWR grant study.Through the Otay River Basin Brackish Groundwater Desalination Study,
Sweetwater Authority and Otay WD will determine the feasibility ofextracting brackish
groundwater from the San Diego Formation.A portion ofthe work involves the United States
Geological Society (USGS)services to construct multi-depth monitoring wells near the Otay
River.The monitoring wells have been constructed.
In 2007,Sweetwater Authority,in partnership with Otay WD received notification from the
Water Authority that Sweetwater Authority had been selected to receive a matching grant
from the Water Authority Local Investigations and Studies Assistance (LISA)grant funding
program for the USGS Study ofthe San Diego Formation for Potential In-lieu Conjunctive
Use concept.The grant amount is $1,500,000.The combined Sweetwater Authority and
Otay WD contribution is $1,500,000,for a total of$3,000,000 to complete the LISA grant
study.

The USGS Study ofthe San Diego Formation for Potential In-lieu Conjunctive Use effort has
two primary objectives as follows.
•Develop an integrated,comprehensive understanding of the geology and hydrology of
the San Diego Formation and the overlying alluvial deposits.With this understanding,
the sustainable yield ofthe San Diego Formation can be determined founded upon
good science.
•Use this understanding to evaluate use ofthe alluvial deposits and the San Diego
Formation for an in-lieu conjunctive use project for expanded extraction.
The study phase,Phase I,ofthe Otay River project is to collect necessary geologic,
groundwater,and water quality data that can be used to determine the safe yield from the
aquifer and to develop a solidified plan for completing a Otay River project that could
potentially yield at least 4,500 ac-ft/yr ofdesalinated potable water.
The achievable goals ofthe Otay River project are as follows:
•Obtain valuable well data that can be used to determine the hydro geological
condition ofthe San Diego Formation in the Otay River Basin.
•Determine the water quality ofthe aquifer in this region.
•Conceptually layout the facilities needed to collect,treat,and deliver desalinated
water to potable water customers ofSweetwater Authority and Otay WD.
•Develop a long-range monitoring program for well development and an
implementation plan that clearly identifies the steps needed to complete the
ultimate project.
The Otay River project will allow the partnering each agency to complete a significant step
towards developing a new potable water source from brackish groundwater that is currently
not used.
6.3.1.4 Potential Ocean Desalination Supplies
The Otay WD is currently investigating the feasibility ofpurchasing desalinated water from a
seawater reverse osmosis plant that is planned to be located in Rosarito,Mexico.This project
is known as the Rosarito Ocean Desalination Facility (Rosarito)project.The treatment
facility is intended to be designed,constructed,and operated in Mexico by a third party.On
June 21,2010 a report was prepared for the Otay WD by Camp Dresser &McKee,Inc.
entitled Rosarito Desalination Facility Conveyance and Disinfection System Project.
The Rosarito Desalination Facility Conveyance and Disinfection System Project report
discusses the likely issues to be considered in terms of water treatment and monitoring,
potential conveyance options within the United States from the international border to
potential delivery points,and environmental,institutional,and permitting considerations for
Otay WD to import the Rosarito project product water as a new local water supply resource.
47
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
The three main treatment considerations addressed are:
•Treatment required for a reliable,high quality source,which blends effectively with
the existing water supply.
•Treatment and monitoring required for compliance with the California Department of
Public Health (CDPH)regulations.
•Treatment required for public perception concerns.
While the treatment facility for the Rosarito project will likely not be designed or operated by
the Otay WD as the lead agency,it is important that Otay WD maintain involvement with the
planning,design,and construction ofthe facility to ensure that the implemented processes
provide a product water ofacceptable quality for distribution and use within the Otay WD
system as well as potentially in other agencies'systems in the region that may use the product
water,e.g.City of San Diego,the Water Authority,etc.A seawater reverse osmosis treatment
plant removes constituents ofconcern from the seawater,producing a water quality that far
exceeds established United States and California drinking water regulations for most
parameters,however,a two-pass treatment system may be required to meet acceptable
concentrations ofboron and chlorides,similar to the levels seen within the existing Otay WD
supply sources.The Rosarito Desalination Facility Conveyance and Disinfection System
Project report addresses product water quality that is considered acceptable for public health
and distribution.
The Otay WD,or any other potential participating agencies,will be required to get approval
from the CDPH in order to use the desalinated seawater as a water source.Three alternatives
approaches are identified for getting this approval:1)Certification ofthe Rosarito project in
Mexico by CDPH;2)Disinfection treatment only in the United States,receiving a waiver of
specific filtration requirements through CDPH;and 3)Full filtration and disinfection
treatment ofwater entering the United States with waiver ofcertain typical Watershed
Sanitary Survey requirements.These alternatives vary in their cost and their likelihood of
meeting CDPH approval.
The Rosarito Desalination Facility Conveyance and Disinfection System Project report
addresses two supply targets for the desalinated water (i.e.local and regional).The local
alternative assumes that only Otay WD would participate and receive desalinated water,while
the regional alternative assumes that other regional and/or local agencies would also
participated in the Rosarito project.
On November 3,2010,the District authorized the General Manager to enter into an agreement
with AECOM for the engineering design,environmental documentation,and the permitting
for the construction ofthe conveyance pipeline,pump station,and disinfection facility to be
constructed within the District.The supply target is assumed to be 50 mgd.
48

The Otay WD is proceeding with negotiations among the parties to establish water supply
resource acquisition terms through development ofa Principles ofUnderstanding document.
6.3.2 Otay WD Capital Improvement Program
The Otay WD plans,designs,constructs,and operates water system facilities to acquire
sufficient supplies and to meet projected ultimate demands placed upon the potable and recycled
water systems.In addition,the OtayWD forecasts needs and plans for water supply
requirements to meet projected demands at ultimate build out.The necessary water facilities and
water supply projects are implemented and constructed when development activities proceed and
require service to achieve timely and adequate cost effective water service.
New water facilities that are required to accommodate the forecasted growth within the entire
Otay WD service area are defined and described within the Otay WD 2009 WRMP updated
November,2010.These facilities are incorporated into the annual Otay WD Six Year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP)for implementation when required to support development
activities.As major development plans are formulated and proceed through the land use
jurisdictional agency approval processes,Otay WD prepares water system requirements
specifically for the proposed development project consistent with the Otay WD 2009 WRMP
updated November,2010.These requirements document,define,and describe all the potable
water and recycled water system facilities to be constructed to provide an acceptable and
adequate level ofservice to the proposed land uses,as well as the financial responsibility ofthe
facilities required for service.The Otay WD funds the facilities identified as CIP projects.
Established water meter capacity fees and user rates are collected to fund the CIP project
facilities.The developer funds all other required water system facilities to provide water service
to their project.
Section 7 -Conclusion:Availability of Sufficient Supplies
The Rabago Project is currently located within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,Water
Authority,and Metropolitan.To obtain permanent imported water supply service,land areas
are required to be within the jurisdictions ofthe Otay WD,Water Authority,and Metropolitan
to utilize imported water supply.
The Water Authority and Metropolitan have an established process that ensures supplies are
being planned to meet future growth.Any annexations and revisions to established land use
plans are captured in the San Diego Association ofGovernments (SANDAG)updated
forecasts for land use planning,demographics,and economic projections.SANDAG serves
as the regional,intergovernmental planning agency that develops and provides forecast
information.The Water Authority and Metropolitan update their demand forecasts and
supply needs based on the most recent SANDAG forecast approximately every five years to
coincide with preparation of their urban water management plans.Prior to the next forecast
49
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report
Rabago Technology Park
update,local jurisdictions with land use authority may require water supply assessment and/or
verification reports for proposed land developments that are not within the Otay WD,Water
Authority,or Metropolitan jurisdictions (i.e.pending or proposed annexations)or that have
revised land use plans with either lower or higher development intensities than reflected in the
existing growth forecasts.Proposed land areas with pending or proposed annexations,or
revised land use plans,typically result in creating higher demand and supply requirements
than previously anticipated.The Otay WD,Water Authority,and Metropolitan next demand
forecast and supply requirements and associated planning documents would then capture any
increase or decrease in demands and required supplies as a result ofannexations or revised
land use planning decisions.
Metropolitan's Integrated Resources Plan (IRP)identifies a mix ofresources (imported and
local)that,when implemented,.will provide 100 percent reliability for full-service demands
through the attainment ofregional targets set for conservation,local supplies,State Water
Project supplies,Colorado River supplies,groundwater banking,and water transfers.The
2010 update to the IRP includes a planning buffer supply intended to mitigate against the risks
associated with implementation oflocal and imported supply programs and for the risk that
future demands could be higher than projected.The planning buffer identifies an additional
increment ofwater that could potentially be developed when needed and if other supplies are
not fully implemented as planned.As part ofimplementation ofthe planning buffer,
Metropolitan periodically evaluates supply development,supply conditions,and projected
demands to ensure that the region is not under or over developing supplies.Managed
properly,the planning buffer will help ensure that the southern California region,including
San Diego County,will have adequate water supplies to meet long-term future demands.
In Section II.4 oftheir 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP),
Metropolitan states that through effective management ofits water supply,they fully expect
to be 100 percent reliable in meeting all non-discounted non-interruptible demands throughout
the next twenty-five years.Metropolitan's 2005 RUWMP identifies potential reserve supplies
in the supply capability analysis (Tables II-7,II-8,and II-9),which could be available to meet
the unanticipated demands.
The County Water Authority Act,Section 5 subdivision 11,states that the Water Authority
"as far as practicable,shall provide each ofits member agencies with adequate supplies of
water to meet their expanding and increasing needs."
As part of preparation of a written water supply assessment report,an agency's shortage
contingency analysis should be considered in determining sufficiency ofsupply.Section 9 of
the Water Authority's 2005 Updated UWMP contains a detailed shortage contingency
analysis that addresses a regional catastrophic shortage situation and drought management.
The analysis demonstrates that the Water Authority and its member agencies,through the
Emergency Response Plan,Emergency Storage Project,and Drought Management Plan
(DMP)are taking actions to prepare for and appropriately handle an interruption of water
supplies.The DMP,completed in May 2006,provides the Water Authority and its member
50
Otay Water District
Water Supply Assessment Report

agencies with a series ofpotential actions to take when faced with a shortage ofimported
water supplies from Metropolitan due to prolonged drought or other supply shortfall
conditions.The actions will help the region avoid or minimize the impacts ofshortages and
ensure an equitable allocation ofsupplies.
The WSA Report identifies and describes the processes by which water demand projections
for the proposed Rabago Project will be fully included in the water demand and supply
forecasts ofthe Urban Water Management Plans and other water resources planning
documents ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.Water supplies necessary to serve the
demands ofthe proposed Rabago Project, along with existing and other projected future users,
as well as the actions necessary and status to develop these supplies,have been identified in
the Rabago Project WSA Report and will be included in the future water supply planning
documents ofthe Water Authority and Metropolitan.
This WSA Report includes,among other information,an identification ofexisting water
supply entitlements,water rights,water service contracts,water supply projects,or
agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the proposed Rabago Project.
This WSA Report assesses,demonstrates,and documents that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon,under normal
conditions and in single and multiple dry years to meet the projected demand ofthe proposed
Rabago Project and the existing and other planned development projects to be served by the
OtayWD.
Table 9 presents the forecasted balance ofwater demands and required supplies for the Otay
WD service area under average or normal year conditions.The OWD 2005 UWMP demand
projection for FY 2010 of49,812 acre feet is substantially higher than the actual demand for
that fiscal year.The total actual demand for FY 2010 was 36,500 acre feet.The demand for
FY 2010 is 6,500 acre feet lower than the peak demand ofFY 2006 of43,000 acre feet.The
drop in demand is a result of the unit price ofwater,the conservation efforts ofusers as a
result ofthe prolonged drought,and the economy.
The projected potable demand and supply requirements shown the Tables 9,10,and 11 are
from the Otay WD revised 2005 UWMP.
Hot,dry weather may generate urban water demands that are about 7 percent greater than
normal.This percentage was utilized to generate the dry year demands shown in Tables 10
and 11.The recycled water and groundwater supplies are assumed to experience no reduction
in a dry year.

In evaluating the availability of sufficient water supply,the Rabago Project development
proponents will be required to participate in the development ofalternative water supply
project(s).This can be achieved through payment ofthe New Water Supply Fee adopted by
the Otay Water District Board in May 2010.These water supply projects are in addition to
those identified as sustainable supplies in the CUlTent Water Authority and Metropolitan
UWMP,IRP,Master Plans,and other planning documents.These new water supply projects
are in response to the regional water supply issues related to climatological,environmental,
legal,and other challenges that impact water source supply conditions,such as the court
rulings regarding the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the current ongoing western states
drought conditions.These new additional water supply projects are not currently developed
and are in various stages ofthe planning process.The Otay WD water supply development
program includes but is not limited to projects such as the Middle Sweetwater River Basin
Groundwater Well project,the North District Recycled Water Supply Concept,the Rosarito
Ocean Desalination Facility project,and the Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well project.The
Water Authority and Metropolitan's next forecasts and supply planning documents would
capture any increase in water supplies resulting from any new water resources developed by
the Otay WD.
The Otay WD acknowledges the ever-present challenge of balancing water supply with
demand and the inherent need to possess a flexible and adaptable water supply
implementation strategy that can be relied upon during normal and dry weather conditions.
The responsible regional water supply agencies have and will continue to adapt their resource
53

plans and strategies to meet climate,environmental,and legal challenges so that they may
continue to provide water supplies to their service areas.The regional water suppliers along
with Otay WD fully intend to maintain sufficient reliable supplies through the 20-year
planning horizon under normal,single,and multiple dry year conditions to meet projected
demand ofthe Rabago Project,along with existing and other planned development projects
within the Otay WD service area.
This WSA Report assesses,demonstrates,and documents that sufficient water supplies are
planned for and are intended to be acquired,as well as the actions necessary and status to
develop these supplies,to meet projected water demands ofthe Rabago Project as well as
existing and other reasonably foreseeable planned development projects within the Otay WD

SUBJECT:Award a Construction Contract to Sepulveda Construction,Inc.
for the 944-1R Recycled Water Pump Station Upgrades and System
Enhancements Project
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
awards a construction contract to Sepulveda Construction Inc.
(Sepulveda)in the amount of $1,162,423 for the 944-1R Recycled Water
Pump Station Upgrades and System Enhancements Project (see Exhibit A
for Project locations)
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to enter into
a construction contract with Sepulveda for the 944-1R Recycled Water
Pump Station Upgrades and System Enhancements Project in an amount
not to exceed $1,162,423.
ANALYSIS:
The 944-1 Recycled Water Pump Station is a key pumping facility for
the District's recycled water distribution system.Based on the
2002 Water Resources Master Plan (WRMP)the Pump Station was
originally designed to only provide service to the Central Service
Area.The supply to the Central Service Area comes from a 30-inch
recycled water transmission main from the City of San Diego's South
Bay Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP).The water is pumped through
the 450 pump station and the 680-1 pump station before it reaches
the 944-1 Pump Station.
The 2002 WRMP also proposes the Otay Mesa Service Area to receive
recycled water from the same 30-inch transmission main.However,
after a study done by Harris &Associates in 2005,the Otay Mesa
Service Area was found to be better supplied by a pipeline
constructed in Wueste and Airway Roads.This alignment is better
known today as the "Otay Mesa Recycled Water Supply Link.u These
changes resulted in significant cost savings for the District's CIP.
Due to the new location of the Otay Mesa Service Area supply,the
944-1 Pump Station will serve both the Central and Otay Mesa Service
Areas.The additional service area and the updated demands in the
November 2010 WRMP require capacity upgrades to the 944-1 Pump
Station.In order to achieve the higher capacity,a third pump and
motor system must be installed.This added pump system will not
only provide the additional capacity to meet the higher demands,but
will provide redundancy in the event that a pump requires repairs
and must be taken out of service.
The new pump and motor will require a variety of electrical and
instrumentation upgrades to the Pump Station.HVAC improvements are
also planned with this Project to improve the air flow through the
facility and thereby lower the temperature while the pumps are
operating.A new air gap is also being installed with this Project
between the potable feed to the 680-1 Recycled Reservoir.
Part of the scope of this Project will also include providing a
solution to several areas within the 944 pressure zone that are now
experiencing higher than acceptable pressures.In order to resolve
the high pressure,three (3)Pressure Reducing Stations (PRS)will
be installed in Olympic Parkway,Eastlake Parkway,and Otay Lakes
Road.The PRSs will reduce the pressure in three (3)areas of the
944 system and create new lower pressure zones.This solution is
much more cost affective than replacing the existing pipelines in
the three (3)areas along with valves that are currently receiving
the higher pressure.
The Project was advertised for bid on January 14,2011 on the
District's website and several other publications including the
Union Tribune and San Diego Daily Transcript.
2
A non-mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting was held on February 8,2011.A
presentation was given by District staff to explain the Project and
discuss any questions or concerns from the contractors.There were
nineteen (19)contractors and suppliers that attended the meeting
and meeting minutes were published.
Subsequently,three (3)addenda were sent out to all bidders and
planhouses to address questions and clarifications to the contract
documents during the bidding period.Bids were publicly opened on
March 3,2011 with the following results:
TOTAL BID CORRECTEDCONTRACTORAMOUNTBIDAMOUNT
I.Sepulveda Construction Inc.$1,162,423
2.NEWest Construction Co.,Inc.$1,272,200
3.Falcon General Engineering Inc.$1,295,810 $1,308,810
4.HPS Mechanical Inc.$1,345,150
5.Spiess Construction Co.,Inc.$1,387,650
6.TC Construction Co.,Inc.$1,398,500
7.Ahrens Corporation $1,412,000 $1,411,700
8.CCL Contracting,Inc.$1,516,000
9.Eastern Valley General Engineering Inc.$1,548,900
10.Cass Construction Inc.$1,557,000
1I.Metro Builders &Engineers Group,Ltd.$1,647,000
The Engineer's Estimate is $1,375,000.
The evaluation process included reviewing all bids submitted for
conformance to the contract documents.The lowest bidder,
Sepulveda,submitted a responsible bid and holds a Class A
Contractor's license which expires on December 1,2011.Staff
checked the six (6)references Sepulveda provided and found that two
(2)references provided positive feedback.The other four (4)
references did not provide feedback because the projects were either
out of date or their project managers were no longer available for
comment.Staff requested Sepulveda to provide additional references
to verify their experience.Sepulveda provided two active projects
with the Los Angeles County Sanitation District and their feedback
was positive,however the progress of the projects were in the early
stages of construction.Sepulveda also provided additional
information including an extensive resume of their assigned project
manager,a letter certifying that their project manager will be
assigned to the project and a letter of recommendation from the
University of California Los Angeles (Exhibit B).In summary,
3
Sepulveda,as a company,has limited feedback with positive results
and their project manager,as an individual,has extensive feedback
with positive results.Staff has determined that the references are
valid and that Sepulveda is a "good"rated company.
District staff also received a bid protest from the second low
bidder,NEWest Construction (Exhibit C)claiming that Sepulveda's
bid was unresponsive.Their bid protest claimed that Sepulveda did
not provide a proper certification letter by the electrical
subcontractor to provide a complete integration system,as required
by the contract documents,which could result in "bid shopping."
District staff and general counsel analyzed the protest along with
Sepulveda's bid package and determined that their bid was responsive
and the omission of the certification letter was inconsequential .
.See the District response to the bid protest in Exhibit D.
Staff has verified that the bid bond provided by First National
Insurance is valid.Once Sepulveda signs the contract,they will
furnish the performance bond.Staff will verify the performance
bond before the District exec tes the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total budget for CIP R2091,as approved in the FY 2011 budget,
is $3,950,000.Total expenditures,plus outstanding commitments and
forecast,are $1,749,273.See Attachment B for budget detail.
This Project will cover Phase I of the 944-1R Recycled Water Pump
Station Improvements.Phase II,which consists of replacing another
pump,will be installed at a future date.Based on a review of the
financial budgets,the Project Manager has determined that the
budget is sufficient to support the Project.
Finance has determined that 100%of the funding is available from
the Expansion Fund for CIP R2091.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District's Mission statement,"To provide
the best quality of water and wastewater service to the customers of
the Otay Water District in a professional,effective,and efficient
manner,"as well as the General Manager's vision,"...prepared for the
future..."by guaranteeing the District will always be able to meet
future water supply obligations and plan,design,and construct new
facilities.

Re.:Bid for 944-1R Recycled Water Pump Station
Upgrade and System Enhancements
ClPR2091
Dear Mr.Walton,
On MatCh 3,2011 bids were received for the above referenced project.The apparent low bid is
listed as Sepulveda Construction.Sepulveda Construction's bid pac:kage contained multiple I&C
system integrator certifications.This is in violation ofspecification section 17000,paragraph
1.03.D.,which states,''The complete control system shall be furnished by a single integration
fum who shall assume total responsibility forsatisfactory perfonnance ofthe complete system."
By listingm.u1tiple companies the apparent low bidder's bid should be deemed non-responsive.
The District has no assurance to which integrator the spparc:nt low bidder will use or intended to
use,which could result in bid shopping.Bid shopping is not allowed in accordance with Public
Contract Code 4100-4114.
We request that no award bemade on this project until we have ample time to review the
rejection from the District and respond accordingly.We believe that ourbid meets the contract
requirements and we are the low responsive bidder for this project.An award ofthe contract to
any bidder besides NEWest Construction would violate California Government Code,standards
andpractices applicable to competitive bidding on public ~ks projects.
Ifyou have any questions please feel free to contact me at 858-537-0774.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT:Response to Bid Protest for the 944-1 R Recycled Water
Pump Station Upgrade and System Enhancements
Dear Mr.Jennette:
The District received your formal bid protest,dated March 4,2011,for the above subject project.
District staff and legal counsel have reviewed and analyzed the protest and have determined that
Sepulveda Construction's (Sepulveda)bid package is responsive.
The protest appears to be based on a claim that Sepulveda could engage in bid shopping by
providing certifications from several potential systems integration subcontractors.A reasonable
interpretation of section 1.04(A)of Section 17000 actually seems to require certifications for each
prospective systems integrator;thus,not only would the multiple certifications not be in violation
of the bid requirements,they would actually be in compliance with it.Further,Sepulveda's bid
package appears to be responsive notwithstanding the omission of a certification for the listed
subcontractor,Southern Construction Company (Southern),as that discrepancy would seem to
be inconsequential.Sepulveda listed only one electrical subcontractor,Southern,and thus would
appear to comply with the requirement of a single systems integration firm.
The District is moving forward with a recommendation to award the contract to Sepulveda at the
April 6th Board Meeting.Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at
(619)670-2247,or by email at daniel.kay@otaywater.gov

SUBJECT:Revision to the Cooperative Agreement for the United
States Bureau of Reclamation Title XVI Funding for the
Otay Water District Recycled Water Infrastructure Program
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
authorizes the General Manager to execute a revision to the
Cooperative Agreement for the United States Bureau of Reclamation
Title XVI Funding for the Otay Water District Recycled Water
Infrastructure Program.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to execute a
revision to the Cooperative Agreement between the United States Bureau
of Reclamation (USBR)and the City of San Diego (City)for the USBR
Title XVI funding for the Otay Water District Recycled Water
Infrastructure Program.The single purpose of the Cooperative
Agreement revision is to replace the City of San Diego,Public
Utilities Department,with the Otay Water District,as the recipient
of federal funds per terms of the Cooperative Agreement.
ANALYSIS:
The Reclamation Wastewater and Groundwater Study and Facilities Act of
1992,Public Law 102-575/Title XVI/Section 1612 authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to participate in the construction of water
reclamation projects in the San Diego area/with Federal financial
participation limited up to 25 percent of eligible project costs.It
had been determined by the previous USBR/s legal counsel that the City
of San Diego is the agency authorized to receive Federal funding under
this authority.Therefore/the existing Cooperative Agreement between
the City and USBR executed on August 4/2006 and the existing
Cooperative Sub-Agreement between the City and the District provided
the vehicle for the flow of Federal funding to Otay through the City
for the District/s Recycled Water Infrastructure Program.The Board
authorized the General Manager to execute the Cooperative Sub-
Agreement on March 13/2006.
The purpose of the Cooperative Agreement and the Cooperative Sub-
Agreement provides Federal funding to plan/design/and construct the
District/s Recycled Water Infrastructure Program that will distribute
recycled water for beneficial use.The Cooperative Agreement covers
the cost of activities necessary for the construction of the
District/s Recycled Water Infrastructure Program.The total estimated
cost of these projects within the Cooperative Agreement is
$80/645/000.
Also/under the terms of the Cooperative Agreement the District is
entitled to incur costs/in a total amount not to exceed $10/000/000/
for allowable costs incurred on or after January 1/2001/which
incurred after execution of the Cooperative Agreement.In accordance
with the Cooperative Agreement/the District is eligible to receive
reimbursement for a portion of total allowable costs in an amount up
to and not to exceed $2/500/000 (i.e./25%of $10/000/000).
It is the District/s promise to perform the contractual obligations
under the terms of the Cooperative Agreementi otherwise the City would
not have entered into the Cooperative Agreement and the Cooperative
Sub-Agreement.The City/s role under the current Cooperative
Agreement and the Cooperative Sub-Agreement is merely to act as a
"pass-through"agency in order for District to obtain Title XVI
funding.As such/the City/s sole obligation under the Cooperative
Agreement is related to submitting funding requests and accepting
funding.
The single purpose of the Cooperative Agreement revision is to replace
the City of San Diego/Public Utilities Department/with the Otay
Water District/as the recipient of federal funds per terms of the
2
Cooperative Agreement.In other words,the District will receive the
Federal funds directly from USBR.
See Attachment B for a copy of the revision to the Cooperative
Agreement.The City has executed the revision to the Cooperative
Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:~
Within the Cooperative Agreement there is an estimate of $80,645,000
for the Otay Water District Recycled Water Infrastructure Program and
$10,000,000,for allowable costs incurred on or after January 1,2001,
in which costs incurred after execution of the Cooperative Agreement.
USBR staff states that Federal money for Title XVI funding will be
paid eventually at the total of 25 percent even though less is
expected to be appropriated in the near term.This is the intention
and has been their policy in the past.As additional funds become
available,USBR will continue to obligate funds to agreements until
they are fully funded.The intent is that the full 25 percent will be
provided over time,as long as funds continue to be appropriated by
Congress.
The total estimated amount of USBR Title XVI funding available to Otay
Water District over time could be as much as 25 percent of $90,645,000
or about $22,600,000.
The District has expended nearly $47,511,000 for our Recycled Water
Infrastructure Program since January 1,2001 through December 31,
2010.To date USBR has paid and the District has received $9,510,000.
As of December 31,2010,the USBR owes the District almost $2,368,000
and the District should get paid over time when Congress appropriates
the funds.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The USBR Title XVI grant funding supports the District's Mission
statement,"To provide the best quality of water and wastewater
services to the customers of the Otay Water District,in a
professional,effective,and efficient manner."The Project fulfills
the District's strategic goal,in planning for infrastructure and
supply to meet current and future potable water demands.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board authorizes the
General Manager to sign Amendments to two Utility Agreements
(Nos.31755 and 31926)with the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans)(see Exhibit A for project location)
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to sign
Amendments to two Utility Agreements with Caltrans (Nos.31755
and 31926;see Exhibits B-1 and B-2).
ANALYSIS:
In 2003,Caltrans notified the District of its intent to
construct SR-905 from Heritage Road to SR-125 within Otay Mesa.
SubsequentlYt the District entered into several Utility
Agreements with Caltrans to establish prior rights and cost
sharing for relocation of existing and proposed District
utilities that were in conflict with Caltrans'design.This
current action addresses Amendments to two of the existing
Utility Agreements.
The cost estimates that determined the original value of the
subject two Utility Agreements were based on known conditions
and understandings at the time each Agreement was executed.Due
to changes in field conditions,conflicts with other utilities,
other agencies planned utilities,and Caltrans'requested design
changes,the project costs exceeded the estimated costs.
The work associated with both Utility Agreements is complete.
The amount of each Amendment was determined based on the actual
final costs.The District has already invoiced Caltrans for the
amounts of the previous Agreements.Upon execution of these
Amendments,the District will invoice Caltrans for the
additional costs,as shown in the table below.Caltrans has
assured Staff that the amounts to be reimbursed to the District
in the Amendments have been set aside in the authorized funding
for the SR-905 construction.

customers of the Otay Water District,in a professional,
effective,and efficient manner.n As well as the General
Manager I s vision,"...prepared for the future...n by guaranteeing

Award of a Professional Engineering Services Contract for
Phase 2 of the Rancho del Rey Well Project to Tetra Tech,
Inc.
SUBJECT:

(Chief)
SUBMITIED BY:
TYPE MEETING:
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
awards a professional services contract to Tetra Tech,Inc.(Tetra
Tech)and authorizes the General Manager to execute an agreement with
Tetra Tech,Inc.for design of Phase 2 of the Rancho del Rey Well
Project in an amount not to exceed $724,493.50 (see Exhibit A for
Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to enter into a
professional engineering services contract with Tetra Tech for design
of Phase 2 of the Rancho del Rey Well Project in an amount not to
exceed $724,493.50.
ANALYSIS:
Phase 2 of the Rancho del Rey Well Project (Project)consists of
equipping a well previously drilled and developed in Phase 1,and
constructing a wellhead treatment facility to remove salinity and
other constituents from the water.The product water from this
facility will be pumped into the distribution system,thereby,
augmenting the District's potable water supply by approximately 500
acre-feet per year (AFY).
The District requires a consulting firm to provide a range of
professional services for the Project,including design engineering,
permitting assistance,construction support services,and operations.
The operations portion of the Project consists of the consultant
providing a part-time certified operator to train District staff and
serve as the Chief Operator,as defined by California Department of
Public Health Title 22 Regulations.It is initially scoped for this
resource to be utilized for 18 months;however,this may be modified
when the District's needs can be better quantified.
The District initiated the consultant selection process on January 6,
2011,by placing advertisements in the San Diego Union Tribune and
the San Diego Daily Transcript,and posting the Project on the
District's website for Professional Engineering Services.The
advertisements attracted Letters of Interest and Statements of
Qualifications from 20 consulting firms.A Pre-Proposal Meeting was
held on January 25,2011.Twenty-seven (27)people representing 20
consulting firms attended the meeting.
On February 10,2011,proposals were received from the following
seven (7)consulting firms:
1.Black &Veatch
2.COM
3.Kennedy/Jenks Consultants
4.MWH Americas,Inc.
5.Proteus Consulting
6.Separation Processes,Inc.
7.Tetra Tech,Inc.
After the proposals were evaluated and ranked by a five-member review
panel consisting of District Engineering and Operations staff,it was
determined that five proposals ranked sufficiently close to warrant
being invited to make an oral presentation and respond to questions
from the panel.After conducting the interviews on March 1,2011,
the panel completed the consultant ranking process and concluded that
Tetra Tech had the best approach to the Project and provided the best
2
overall value to the District.A summary of the complete evaluation
is shown in Exhibit B.
Fee negotiations with Tetra Tech concluded on March 4,2011,and
resulted in a net reduction of $3,423 to their original proposed fee
of $727,916.50,despite the addition of a new scope item.Their
revised proposed fee,with reduction,is $724,493.50.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total budget for elP P2434,as approved in the FY 2011 budget,is
$4,250,000.Total expenditures,plus outstanding commitments and
forecast,is $3,340,010.See Attachment B for budget detail.
Based on a review of the financial budgets,the Project Manager has
determined that the budget is sufficient to support the award of this
contract,which is the design phase of the Project.However,based
on the $3.5 million Phase 2 capital expenditure estimate in the
feasibility study completed in December 2010,the existing elP budget
will be insufficient to support construction.An anticipated
supplemental funding of approximately $2.0 million will be requested
as part of the FY 2012 elP budget to address the remaining work that
will be required to complete this Project.
With the shifting of certain elP's into later years,Finance has
determined that 40%of the funding is available from the Expansion
Fund and 60%of the funding is available from the Betterment Fund.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
This Project supports the District's Mission statement,"To provide
the best quality of water and wastewater services to the customers of
Otay Water District,in a professional,effective,and efficient
manner.u This Project fulfills the District's Strategic Goals No.1
-Community and Governance,and No.5 -Potable Water,by maintaining
proactive and productive relationships with the Project stakeholders
and by guaranteeing that the District will provide for current and
future water needs.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

Procurement of Pumps and Motors for the 711-1 Pump Station
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
authorizes the General Manager to execute a purchase order with
Sloan Electromechanical Service &Sales (Sloan)for the procurement
of five (5)pumps,motors,and discharge heads for the 711-1 Pump
Station Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed $204,934.45
(see Exhibit A for Project location).
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
~o obtain Board authorization for the General Manager to execute a
purchase order with Sloan for the procurement of five (5)pumps,
motors,and discharge heads for the 711-1 Pump Station Improvements
Project in an amount not to exceed $204,934.45.
ANALYSIS:
The 711-1 Pump Station (PS),located in Chula Vista,takes suction
primarily from the 624-3 Reservoir and discharges to the 711-1,711-
2,and 711-3 Reservoirs,which serves the 711 pressure zone.
From the Project's beginning in 1989,the 711-1 Pump Station was
designed to run at 16,000 gpm @ 161'Total Dynamic Head (TDH)(i.e.,
four pumps operating,each at 4,000 gpm @ 161'TDH)in order to meet
the existing and projected demands.Over time,the Pump Station has
experienced vibration,noise,and cavitation problems due to running
constantly at the higher capacity.In the 1990's and early 2000's,
the 711-1 Pump Station served as the key component for the Central
Area and needed to remain in service.Therefore,as individual
pumps failed due to cavitation,they were quickly rebuilt,or in
some cases,replaced with varying brands and sizes in an attempt to
solve the problems.In 2007,the 980-2 Pump Station (22,800 gpm)
was put into service.This relieved the 711-1 Pump Station,and has
allowed staff to redesign the pumps and motors based on a lower
overall pump station projected capacity.
Staff reviewed the 711-1 Pump Station's existing conditions.
Currently,there are three different types of pumps installed In the
Pump Station:
•two (2)Fairbanks-Morse 14"3-stage/200 hp each,
4,200 gpm @ 110'TDH
•two (2)Peerless 16"2-stage/200 hp each,4,000 gpm @ 161'TDH
•one (1)Peerless 18"2-stage/250 hp,4,500 gpm @ 163'TDH
At the present time,one of the 16"Peerless pumps is inoperable and
in need of replacement.During the request for proposal period on
this Project,another Peerless pump has experienced problems and
will be out of commission for a short period of time.This will be
remedied with a new mechanical seal,but will only temporarily fix
the problems.
Operations staff currently operates a minimum of two (2)pumps at
the 711-1 Pump Station,which is the ideal operational mode for the
future.Field tests on the Pump Station revealed the lower
discharge head (110'TDH vs.161'TDH)on Pump No.1 (14"3-stage)
and Pump No.4 (14"3-stage)are the "best"operating pumps at the
Pump Station.
Staff has determined that the combination of slower than expected
growth,coupled with an increased conservation effort,has reduced
the demand in the 711 zone,which is not expected to exceed 10,000
gpm until 2020.With this data,along with field tests that were
performed on the Pump Station in May of 2010,Staff concluded that
the best way to resolve the 711-1 Pump Station cavitation problems
was to replace the existing pumps with smaller pumps and motors,and
run the Pump Station at 10,000 gpm @ 120'TDH.This would lower the
inlet suction velocities to approximately 3.0 feet per second (fps)
2
during the two pump operation scenario.The station currently runs
in excess of 4.9 fps,but the Hydraulic Institute's standard
recommends less than 4.0 fps.
In summary,based on the compiled field data and the Hydraulic
Institute Standards it has been determined that the best way to
resolve the 711-1 Pump Station cavitation problems is to replace the
existing pumps with smaller pumps and motors,and run the Pump
Station at 10,000 gpm @ 120'TDH.This will meet the standard
requirements,and still have the ability to meet the demands of the
system.The pumps have a useful life of seven to ten years.As the
pumps approach the end of their useful life,the Pump Station could
be re-evaluated to examine whether the demands have surpassed the
Pump Stations capabilities.By reducing the capacity of the 1989
design from 16,000 gpm to 10,000 gpm,the Pump Station will run in
a two pump operational mode of 5,900 gpm @ 100'TDH (3.0 ft/s on
suction side),and therefore,eliminate the cavitation problems.
Bids were solicited on February 23,2011 from four (4)vendors to
provide five (5)complete pumps with motors and deliver them to the
site based on the design package prepared by Staff.It is the
intent that District staff will install the equipment with their own
labor.A pre-bid meeting was held on March 1,2011 at the 711-1
Pump Station site for the vendors to ask any questions,and become
familiar with the existing site conditions.
The procedure for material purchases outlined In the District's
Purchasing Manual states that a minimum three (3)bids must be
obtained.Should three quotations not be obtainable,documentation
in the form of a "notation of memorandum"must be provided and
attached to the purchase requisition.On March 8,2011,Staff
received two (2)bids.The results are below.
CONTRACTOR TOTAL CORRECTED
AMOUNT AMOUNT
1 Sloan Electromechanical $204,934.45 -
Service &Sales
2 Fairbanks Morse $264,165.00 -
Days after the pre-proposal meeting,Electronic Motor Specialists
(EMS)sent an e-mail stating they would not be bidding on the
Project.Propulsion Controls Engineering (PCE)also did not submit
a bid.
It is recommended that the bid be awarded to Sloan by virtue of
their lower price and their demonstrated ability to provide the
equipment that meets District requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT:~
Funding for the overall Project comes from CIP P2473,the 711-1 Pump
Station Improvements Project.
The total budget for eIP P2473,as approved in the FY 2011 budget,
is $500,000.Total expenditures,plus outstanding commitments and
forecast,is $325,451.See Attachment B for budget detail.
Based on a review of the financial budgets,the Project Manager has
determined that the budget is sufficient to support the Project.
Finance has determined that 100%of the funding is available from
the Replacement Fund for CIP P2473.

SUBJECT:FY 2011 Strategic Plan and Performance Measures Report
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
No recommendation.This is an informational item only.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To provide a fiscal mid-year report on the District's Strategic
Performance Plan.
ANALYSIS:
The District has completed the first half of the Strategic Plan
for FY 2011.Overall,results for performance measures continue
to be positive with the District exceeding its target (at least
75%on target).Results for objectives were just under target
(at least 90%complete or on track),but are expected to recover
by next quarter.Detailed information on each objective and
measure is also available electronically on the Board Extranet.
Looking at these results in more detail:
Strategic Plan Objectives -84%
Strategic plan objectives are designed to ensure we are making
the appropriate high-level changes necessary to move the agency
in the planned direction to meet new challenges and
opportunities.Objective results were just under target with 27
of 32 (84%)complete,ahead or on schedule.2 items are on hold
and are thus excluded from the calculation.Five items are
behind schedule.Of these five items,three have been corrected
as of March 1st .

Balanced Scorecard -External View
The Balanced Scorecard methodology is designed to ensure that a
company is performing consistently on a wide range of measures
necessary to ensure both short-term and long-term improvements.
Many of the areas do not meet the target due to a lower ratio of
open items.For example 4 out of 5 Learning &Growth objectives
are completed or on schedule,but 4/5 is still only 80%,just
missing the 90%target.For a more detailed explanation,quarter
reports for these measures are available on the Board Extranet.
