Memorandum
Date: June 16, 2017
From: Coordination Committee Technical Assistance Ad -Hoc Committee
To: Kern Groundwater Authority Board of Directors
Re: Recommendation Regarding Scope of Work and Budget for Technical Assistance on
Groundwater Modeling
The Kern Groundwater Authority (KGA) Coordination Committee recognized the need for technical
assistance, especially with respect to necessary groundwater modeling, in the development of a
Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). The Committee assigned an ad -hoc committee' to develop a
recommendation to the KGA Board of Directors regarding this need. The ad -hoc committee developed a
request for qualifications, sought qualified consultants to provide that assistance, and recommended
that the Board of Directors engage RMC for that purpose. The Board of Directors concurred with that
choice and requested a scope of work and budget for the initial tasks associated with the modeling
effort.
Recommendation: The Technical Assistance Ad -Hoc Committee recommends engaging RMC to begin
with Task 1 of the attached scope of work and budget immediately.
Background: The Kern River GSA has contracted with Todd Groundwater to populate the Department of
Water Resources (DWR) C2VSim model with water budget data provided by the GSA's members and
others. The existing model uses estimates from various sources that are in need of improvement. For
example, some of the banking operations on the Kern Fan are not represented. Todd is not expected to
modify any of the other model parameters, including attempts at recalibration. Instead, the results will
be considered a first look at the overall water budget of the groundwater basin. The Kern Groundwater
Authority is expected to participate in the data - gathering process. RMC will provide guidance with
respect to the modeling effort and technical review of the work contemplated by Todd Groundwater. In
addition to these peer- review tasks, they will provide guidance on broader modeling issues into the
future.
Scope of Work and Budget: The ad -hoc committee met with RMC to discuss the best approach to the
C2Vsim modeling effort and develop a scope of work and budget (see attached). The initial task (Task 1)
focuses on determining KGA goals and objectives for the C2Vsim model and developing the best
approach to meet those needs.
Subtask 1.1 focuses on the former and includes compiling readily available information applicable to the
modeling effort from KGA members, meeting with the members to determine and compile their short -
term (e.g. GSP preparation) and long -term (sustainability planning and operation) needs, evaluating
' The ad -hoc committee consisted of representatives from Arvin Edison WSD, North Kern WSD, Semitropic WSD,
and the Kern Water Bank. In addition, a Kern River GSA representative has also participated.

which needs may or may not be met by C2Vsim, and developing a modeling strategies document to
meet member needs in the most cost - effective manner. The proposed time and materials budget for
Subtask 1.1 is $45,040. This subtask is focused on KGA member needs, and it is not expected that the
Kern River GSA would share in these costs.
Subtask 1.2 focuses on the Todd effort to populate the C2Vsim model with the best available data. This
subtask will include reviewing and providing recommendations regarding Todd's data collection scope
and data requests forms to help align them with C2VSim input data formats and requirements,
coordination with DWR to confirm the recommended changes in data collection requests, reviewing
other components (e.g. C2VSim modification with local data and water budget estimates) of Todd's
SOW and provide recommendations in light of DWR's planned applications of C2VSim and IWFM,
identifying gaps in meeting KGA modeling needs documented in Subtask 1.1, and developing a
coordination and communication plan for KGA's technical involvement in Kern River GSA's modeling
efforts. The proposed time and materials budget for Subtask 1.2 is $44,928. This subtask is focused on
model peer- review, and it is expected that the Kern River GSA would share in these costs (-17% of the
total).
In addition, project management, coordination, and communications costs are estimated to be $8,684.
The total cost for Task 1 is $98,652.
As mentioned earlier, the Todd modeling effort will provide a basin -wide water budget, but will not
provide information regarding groundwater conditions and water budgets for the KGA member areas.
This information is necessary for the development of the overall KGA GSP and the individual GSP
chapters devoted to each member's districts. Task 2 provides a breakdown of the tasks expected to be
needed to provide this information to the KGA and its members. A budget has not been developed at
this time as some of the needs for some of the items may evolve.
The GSPs will also require the development of a baseline extending 50 years into the future, including
future water budgets, and an analysis of sustainability scenarios. Task 3 lists these items for future
reference.

"Task 1. Develop »p Modelin Needs and Approach
Subtask 1.1 Assess Short -term and Long -term Modeling Needs of KGA Member Agencies
• Obtain, from KGA member agencies, information currently on -hand on conceptual models,
numerical models, water balance accounting spreadsheets, and other water budget estimates.
Compile the information and prepare a summary after preliminary review.
• Meet with the KGA Coordination Committee to obtain information on short -term (e.g. GSP
preparation) and long -term (sustainability planning and operation) needs, such as future project
analysis needs, spatial and temporal scale of analysis, desired levels of accuracy, and types of
questions that might need to be answered by a model.
• Compile a summary list of future KGA modeling analysis needs and evaluate which needs are
met by upcoming (Dec 2017) C2VSim -Fine Grid version and which are not met. Evaluate whether
spatial and temporal scales of C2VSim -FG is adequate for KGA member agencies.
• Develop modeling options for KGA with due consideration to SGMA schedule. Develop modeling
strategies to meet short -term and long -term needs in the most cost - effective manner (limited to
a 10 page document)
Subtask 1.2 Subtask 1.2 Review Todd's Scope, Identify Gaps, and Develop Coordination Plan
• Review Todd's data collection scope and data requests forms
• Provide recommendations for improving Todd's data requests forms to align with C2VSim input
data formats and requirements for both current version and upcoming version based on our
knowledge of future C2VSim enhancements
• Coordinate with DWR to confirm the recommended changes in data collection requests
• Review other components (e.g. C2VSim modification with local data and water budget
estimates) of Todd's SOW and provide recommendations for changes in the light of what DWR is
planning to do in near future with C2VSim and IWFM and what would be most cost - effective for
both KGA and Kern River GSA.
• Identify gaps in meeting KGA modeling needs documented in Subtask 1.1
• Meet with KGA to explain the recommendations, receive feedback, and refine
recommendations.
• Meet with Kern River GSA, and Todd to explain the recommendations, receive feedback, and
refine recommendations.
• Develop a protocol for review of C2VSim data update by Todd for accurate representation of
input data.
• Develop a coordination and communication plan for KGA's technical involvement in Kern River
GSA's modeling efforts. (limited to 5 pages)
"Task 2. Dev6 p Water Budgets at GeograpNc Scales Desh,e by II(GA Member r A encoes
Todd's scope doesn't include development of water budgets by smaller scales, such as GSAs or water
districts. For GSP development, the GSAs will need water budget estimates and estimates of inter -basin
(inter -GSA) flows to evaluate the impacts on projects that will achieve sustainability by 2040.
• Refine C2VSim input files to be able to generate water budgets at GSA scale.
• Conduct high level recalibration of C2VSim consistent with the refined scale data for Kern
Groundwater Subbasin
• Validate the preliminary water budget results with available crop data and agricultural demand
estimates at local GSA and water /irrigation district scale.
• Write necessary post - processing programs to generate inter -GSA flows from C2VSim and review
the results
• Develop total water budget (groundwater systems, stream system, and land surface system) for
KGA member agencies.
• Meet with Todd to discuss any issues with results at the Kern Groundwater Subbasin scale and
smaller scales of GSAs.
• Develop methodology for estimating Sustainable Groundwater Yield for a base period using
C2VSim results and estimate sustainable groundwater yield.
• Present results to KGA member agencies and obtain feedback
• Document the results in a technical memorandum
• Develop a work plan for providing modeling support for GSP Preparation (key tasks are listed
below)
