EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF WORK 3542 , SECTION 4.0 - APPROACH & SCOPE OF WORK As part of the proposed project, Risk Management Professionals will prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) Update for the City of El Segundo in accordance with the associated regulations and guidance documents: the Urban Water Management Planning Act ( "Act "); the 2005 Urban Water Management Planning Worksheets; the 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Demand Management Measures Worksheets; and the Guidebook developed by the California Department of Water Resources entitled "Guidebook to Assist Water Suppliers in the Preparation of a 2005 Urban Water Management Plan." The Project Team will review pertinent documents and determine the City of El Segundo's current resources (e.g., maps, reports, general and specific plans such as: equipment, water supply, billing records, and demographic information). Furthermore, the Project Team will discuss and describe existing water management tools and options that are used to maximize resources. Task 2 -A: Coordination of Plan with Other Agencies In order to ensure synchronized information exchange, the City of El Segundo is required to coordinate data for the UWMP with regional agencies and wholesale suppliers. The City of El Segundo is also required to notify counties and cities within the service area of potential changes to the UWMP and of meetings at which potential changes will be discussed. Using the exchanged information, the Project Team will develop and submit a completed Water Service Reliability Assessment to impacted cities and counties within 60 days of UWMP submission to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). As part of this task, the Project Team will monitor and develop a detailed description of the 4 -1 !.Illp 3542 ~` coordination involved in preparing the 2005 UWMP. This includes an agency coordination list with the associated coordination actions taken. The coordination actions may include, but are not limited to, data/information exchange and review, participation in plan development, comments on the plan, receiving a copy of the draft and final report, and sending a notice of update, public hearing, and adoption. Task 2 -13: Service Area Information with a 25 -Year Projection The UWMP will discuss a variety of demographic factors which may affect water use supplied by the City of El Segundo, including but not limited to: • Current and projected population (projected in 5 -year increments from 2005 to 2030) level and density. • Climate characteristics based on the last 30 years' information on the NOAA website and CIMIS website, including standard monthly average of rainfall, temperature, and the evapotransporation rate. • Housing density. • Future commercial and industrial development. • Projected income levels. Note: reliable information sources, such as state, regional or local agencies, will be used and listed to obtain demographic and projected data. Task 2 -C: Water Sources Tthe City of El Segundo purchases all of its water from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) and does not rely on local groundwater. The City is required to provide this supplier with the amount of water it plans to purchase for the next 25 years, in 5 -year increments. In addition, the City of El Segundo must coordinate with and obtain written information from these suppliers quantifying the amount water available to the City for the next 25 years, in 5 -year increments. The Project Team will summarize these expectations in wholesale water supply projections using the aforementioned increments. Task 2 -1): Reliability of Supply The UWMP will include a description of the reliability or the vulnerability of the water supplies to seasonal or climatic shortage. For this task the Project Team will be required to do the following: 4 -2 3542- :A- • Quantify each supply identified in Acre -Feet per Year (AFY) for the determined normal year, single -dry year, and the multiple -dry year period. • Coordinate with the City of El Segundo staff to determine the basis of water year data to be used for the following intervals: o Normal Water Year • Single -Dry Year • Multiple -Dry Year Period • Identify factors resulting in inconsistency of supply (e.g., legal, environmental, water quality, climatic). • Describe plans, if any, to supplement or replace inconsistent water sources with alternative sources. • Obtain documentation of the amount of water expected to be delivered by WBMWD during normal, single -dry, and multiple -dry years. If the wholesale agency has sources of water that are not available at consistent levels, the wholesaler's information must show the reliability of the source and include plans to supplement or replace the inconsistent sources with alternative sources or water Demand Management Measures. Task 2 -E: Transfer and Exchange Opportunities The UWMP Update will describe water exchange and transfer opportunities including proposed quantities for the City of El Segundo on the short -term and long -term. Task 2 -F: Water Use by Customer Type Using a 25 -Year Projection The UWMP will provide the past, current, and projected water use by sector in the City of El Segundo service area in an effective way to show growth patterns. Since, the City of El Segundo's residential population is overshadowed by its daytime employee population, the water use projections will be based on service connections and amount of usage, rather than mere population projections. The plan will quantify the water demands from 2000 to 2030 in 5 -year increments by the following sectors: • Sales to other agencies o Commercial — Metered and Unmetered o Industrial — Metered and Unmetered o Landscape — Metered and Unmetered 1 et 4 -3 o Agriculture — Metered and Unmetered • Additional Water Uses and Losses • Single Family • Multi- family • institution /government — Metered and Unmetered — Metered and Unmetered — Metered and Unmetered 3542 • '� o Saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive uses Total Water uses Metered demands will be quantified based on the number of service connections and total deliveries in AFY. Unmetered demands will be quantified based on the total deliveries in AFY. Task 2 -G: Demand Management Measures The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires that information related to Demand Management Measures (DMMs) be provided by water suppliers in their UWMPs. The 14 DMMs that must be addressed are as follows: 1. Water survey programs for residential customers 2. Residential plumbing retrofit 3. System water audits, leak detection, and repair 4. Metering and commodity rates for connections 5. Large landscape conservation programs and incentives 6. High - efficiency washing machine rebate programs 7. Public information programs 8. School education programs 9. Conservation programs for commercial, industrial, and institutional accounts 10. Wholesale agency programs 11. Conservation pricing 12. Water conservation coordinator 13. Water waste prohibition 14. Residential ultra -low -flush toilet replacement programs Since the City of El Segundo is not a participant in the California Urban Water Conservation Council, the City is required to conduct thorough analysis of the Demand Management Measures. The analysis is required to include the following information: 4 -4 3542 • .-::i • Detailed discussion of each of the 14 DMMs the City is implementing or has scheduled for implementation • Description of the program for each DMM and other measure currently being implemented, the implementation schedule (currently and through 2010), and the methods used to evaluate the measure's effectiveness • Evaluation of any DMMs and other measures scheduled for implementation, including economic and non - economic factors, cost - benefit analysis identifying total benefits and total cost, a description of funding available to employ any planned water supply project that would provide water at a higher unit cost, efforts to work with other relevant agencies to ensure the execution of the measure as well as to share the cost of implementation, and a description of the water supplier's legal authority to adopt the measure will be prepared Task 2 -H: Evaluation of Demand Management Measures Not Implemented In compliance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act, Risk Management Professionals will assist in the development of an evaluation of each DMM not implemented. In the process of evaluation, priority will be given to DMMs or combinations of DMMs that require lower incremental costs that would be employed if expanded or additional water supplies were sought. Key features and components of the evaluation are listed below: • Economic as well as non - economic factors (i.e., environmental, social, health, customer impact, and technological) will be considered • A cost - benefit analysis, identifying total benefits and total costs will be produced • The funding available to implement a planned water supply project that would provide water at a higher unit cost will be detailed • A description of the City of El Segundo's legal authority to implement the measure will be presented including a description of any efforts to work with relevant agencies to ensure the execution of the measure and to share the cost of implementation Task 2 -I: Planned Water Supply Projects and Programs The UWMP Update will detail expected future supply projects and programs planned by the City of El Segundo, with a timeline for each proposed project. 4 -5 3542 • .':'11 Task 2-J: Development of Desalinated Water The UWMP Update will describe the opportunities for the City of El Segundo to develop desalinated water as a long -term supply (e.g., ocean water, brackish water, brackish groundwater). Task 2 -K: Water Shortage Contingency Plan The objective of this task is to discuss the urban water shortage contingency that helps to control water consumption in the City of El Segundo's service area during a water supply shortage. The UWMP Update will include an urban water shortage contingency analysis, which includes the following sub - tasks: Stages of Action The UWMP update will include the identification of the stages of action (within its authority) that the City of El Segundo will take in response to a water supply shortage. Estimate of Minimum Supply for Next Three Years The Project Team will quantify the minimum water supply available during the next three years (from 2006 to 2008) based on the driest three -year historic sequence for the City of El Segundo. Catastrophic Supply Interruption Plan The objective of this task is to provide a plan during the event of catastrophic supply interruption in the City of El Segundo's service area. In this task, The Project Team will evaluate the vulnerability of each source and the delivery and distribution systems to events such as earthquakes, regional power outages, system failures, terrorist attack, and other events specific to the City of El Segundo's water sources. In addition, the UWMP will include specific actions designed to minimize the impacts of supply interruption on the service area. Risk Management Professionals has extensive experience evaluating water system vulnerability to each of the aforementioned events through the completion of Security Vulnerability Assessments and Hazard Mitigation Plans. Prohibitions Penalties and Consumption Reduction Methods The following prohibitions, penalties, and consumption reduction methods will be detailed in the UWMP: 4 -6 R��;lp 3542 -7l • Mandatory prohibitions against specific water use practices during water shortages; including the stage when prohibition becomes mandatory • Consumption reduction methods used to reduce water use in the most restrictive stages with up to a 50% reduction, including the stage when the method takes effect and the projected reduction associated with the method. Reduction methods often include customer allocations, irrigation limited to certain days, restriction on decorative fountains, refilling swimming pools, etc. • Excessive use penalties or charges for excessive use and the stage when penalties take effect Analysis of Revenue Impact of Reduced Sales during Shortages The objective of this task is to examine the plan for recovering from the financial impact during shortages. To achieve this objective, the UWMP will describe how the City of El Segundo's planned consumption reduction methods, penalties, and prohibitions are likely to impact revenues, and how implementing a water shortage program is likely to impact the City of El Segundo's expenditure. In addition, the plan will list proposed measures that the City of El Segundo plans to overcome, like financial impacts during the shortages. Reduction Monitoring Procedure The Project Team will review and update the Reduction Monitoring Procedure, as necessary. Task 2 -L: Recycled Water Plan Although the City of El Segundo does not specifically treat wastewater, the City does utilize reclaimed water supplied from the West Basin Municipal Water District for landscaping irrigation. The Project Team will coordinate with the local water, wastewater, groundwater, and planning agencies to determine their respective roles in developing a plan for the use of recycled water. In addition, the following descriptions will be included in the UWMP regarding wastewater quantity, quality, and current uses: • Description of the wastewater collection and treatment systems in the City of El Segundo's service area • Volume of wastewater collected and treated and the amount that meets recycled water standards from 2000 to 2030, in 5 -year increments 4 -7 R.: P 3542 , ~67 • Description of the treatment level, disposal method (such as to ocean, rivers, groundwater recharge, etc.), and quantities for the wastewater projected from 2005 to 2030, in 5 -year increments • Identification of the current uses (2005) of recycled water, including type, place and quantities • Projection of future uses (from 2010 to 2030, in 5 -year increments) of recycled water, including type, treatment level and quantities • Comparison of the actual 2005 recycled uses in the City of El Segundo's service area with uses previously projected by the 2000 UWMP • Description of actions, including financial incentives or installation of dual distribution system, which might be taken to encourage recycled water uses in the City's service area and the projected results of these actions in terms of acre -feet of recycled water used per year from 2010 to 2030, in 5 -year increments Task 2 -M: Water Quality Impacts on Reliability The objective of this task is to analyze and describe how water quality affects water management strategies and supply reliability in the City of El Segundo's service area.

Three (3) bound copies and one (1) electronic copy of the Final UWMP Update will be provided to the City of El Segundo. Should a shorter project schedule be required, the RMP Project Team has a history of responsiveness to client needs. The Project Team has the necessary staff available to meet the deadline of December 31, 2005 with sufficient cooperation from the City. Due to the possible delays related to the scheduling of board meetings, public notification requirements, and the holiday season the completion of this update will more than likely extend into the following year. Staffing is an important aspect of successful project management and an integral part of our quality management program. Our fundamental approach is to assemble the best qualified team to match the project requirements. We then review the scope of the project and a labor -hour estimate is made for each task in the scope of work. The estimate includes time for site visits and meetings, as well as actual engineering work for the project. R� "�; �p J 3542- . .a The project schedule has a significant impact on staffing planning. Project milestones are identified and labor hour requirements per task are estimated to determine staffing levels to complete the task by the milestone date. The staffing levels are broken down by discipline to determine overall office personnel planning. A database on staffing needs and current staff assignments is maintained and updated bi- weekly.

City of El Segundo Office of the City Clerk 350 Main Street El Segundo, California 90245 PROPOSAL: September 23, 2005 2005 Urban Water Management Plan Update for the City of El Segundo Risk Management Professionals (RMP) thanks you for providing us with the opportunity to submit the enclosed proposal for the development of the 2005 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). Recent Senate Bills (221 & 610) have made Urban Water Management Plans a critical reference source for community development, which as a result, has placed greater emphasis on developing an accurate Urban Water Management Plan with realistic future supply and demand projections. It is important to RMP's Project Team that the City of El Segundo not only complies with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) requirements, but also develops a plan that will effectively interface with city and regional planners. The fundamental basis for the development of an effective Urban Water Management Plan is the in -depth understanding of the specific water infrastructure and water sources included in the evaluation. Since Risk Management Professionals is currently updating a neighboring community's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan, this Project Team is uniquely qualified to complete the City of El Segundo's 2005 UWMP. This similar experience, coupled with the flexibility of an experienced small firm with low overhead (also a MBE/WBE), will maximize the value to the City of El Segundo by providing an exceptionally high - quality product at a competitive price. The Project Team recognizes the importance of a reliable, consistent water supply and has developed numerous plans devoted to evaluating and protecting water infrastructure. Many essential elements of the proposed Urban Water Management Plan Update align closely with 3542 . tY the Project Team's experience in developing Urban Water Management Plans and plans devoted to evaluating and protecting water infrastructure. Applicable skills that have been gained from this experience include efficient collection of large volumes of statistical data, coordination with external agencies, familiarity with a wide range of water system designs, system reliability assessments, water system technical expertise with both small water agencies and multi - jurisdictional water agencies utilizing a wide range of water treatment and water conservation technologies. Risk Management Professionals has extensive experience in planning, organizing, and coordinating public participation events for various types of projects. Again, on behalf of Risk Management Professionals, thank you for your consideration during the proposal selection process. Please feel free to contact me at 949/282 -0123 x 234 regarding any questions or comments. Sincerely, Paige M. Rubenbauer Project Manager
