SUMMARY
The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires all urban water suppliers, including Hayward, to prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and update it every five years. UWMP provides a framework for long-term water resource planning at the local level to ensure adequate water supplies to meet current and future demands. The 2020 UWMP must be adopted by Council and submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2021. The City does not have the adequate staff resources to perform this work in-house. Therefore, staff recommends that Council approve a PSA with Maddaus, in an amount not-to-exceed $139,614, for preparation of the 2020 UWMP. Staff also recommends that the work be funded from the Water System Operating Fund and that $139,614 be appropriated from the fund balance for this service.
