Memorandum
Subject: Request for Budget Augmentation
Date: February 19, 2020
To: Art Chianello, City of Bakersfield
From: Ken Schwarz, Horizon Water and Environment
This memorandum summarizes Horizon's request for a budget augmentation from the KRGSA for
services provided by Horizon in support of developing the KRGSA's Groundwater Sustainability Plan
(GSP).
Horizon's contract amount to support the GSP ($193,733.32) was used to support or develop several
aspects of the GSP. Horizon had key roles in providing basin coordination, developing the GSP
community outreach and engagement plan, conducting several community outreach and engagement
activities, and assisting to assemble and complete the GSP document in coordination with Todd
Groundwater and the KRGSA management team. At this time, Horizon is requesting a budget
augmentation to cover the out -of -contract amount of our December/January billing, $5,733.32
During the contract period (June 2016 to date),. Horizon's efforts to support the GSP development
process exceeded the anticipated level of effort provided in our original scope of work, including:
■ Task 2 — Basin Coordination: Over the contract period, Horizon coordinated extensively with
other GSAs in the Kern County Subbasin; attended meetings and workshops hosted by
Subbasin GSAs; attended workshops and webinars organized by DWR on GSP- and SGMA-
related topics. We have also monitored, tracked, and recorded coordination efforts
throughout the Basin for inclusion in the GSP as part of the Communication and
Engagement Plan appendix. Several of these tasks were conducted to a greater level of
effort than originally scoped.
■ Task 4 — Draft Communication Plan and Initial Community Outreach: Under this task,
Horizon was scoped to provide a draft and final Communication and Engagement Plan,
participate in one meeting to review the plan, and participate in up to two stakeholder
meetings. Development of the plan extended well beyond the anticipated July to November
2016 timeframe, with the draft plan posted to KRGSA's website in November 2017. The plan
was updated for inclusion in the draft GSP in July -August 2019, and then again for the
submittal draft in December 2019/January 2020. Rather than two stakeholder meetings,
Horizon and Self Help Enterprises (SHE) conducted four meetings —two introductory
meetings to familiarize stakeholders with SGMA in summer 2018 and two additional
meetings to summarize the contents of the draft GSP in fall 2019. SHE's assistance was not
scoped or included in Horizon's original work plan. SHE helped facilitate these additional
meetings at a cost to Horizon of $13,975.71.
■ Task 8 — Program Communications and Meetings: Horizon was scoped to participate in
team conference calls and meetings from June 2016 through January 2020, as well as

coordinating directly with Todd Groundwater on GSP schedule development. Our scope
included "up to 5 additional meetings" not covered in other tasks; that number was
exceeded early in the contract period, with Quad Knopf attending five board meetings by
November 2017 and Horizon attending several additional meetings. We also engaged in
several periods of extensive coordination with KRGSA staff related to various milestones in
the GSP development and review process, including key participation at the following Board
meetings: June 2018; August and October -November 2018, leading up to public workshops;
February 2019; and September -October 2019, during the GSP public review period. In sum,
Horizon spent additional effort on this task beyond what was originally scoped.
As a result of these additional activities in support of KRGSA's GSP, Horizon is requesting complete
payment for our latest invoice, which included $5,733.32 of charges over the contract amount.
We greatly appreciate our working relationship with KRGSA, and we look forward to assisting with
implementation of the GSP and the other important activities the agency is conducting on behalf of the
City and the Kern County Subbasin. Feel free to contact me for additional information as needed.
