CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Mark McCauley, County Administrator
FROM: Brent A. Butler,AICP, Chief Strategy Officer
DATE: February 3, 2025
SUBJECT: Coordinated Water System Plan
Professional Services Agreement Approval
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Chief Strategy Officer(CSO)requests the Board of County Commissioners (Board or BoCC)
approve the professional services agreement(PSA) for the purpose of updating the Coordinated Water
System Plan(CWSP) (See, Attachment I —PSA). As of this submittal,the county initiated the update
process through the steps set forth below.
• By Resolution No. 08-24, the Board repealed any documents or resolutions appointing the Water
Utility Coordinating Committee (WUCC) members in order to establish a new WUCC. (WUCC is
governed by Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-293-150 and must consist of no fewer
than four members);
• In accordance with Jefferson County Code (JCC) Chapter 3.55 governing bidding and purchasing
procedures, the CSO prepared and published a Request for Proposals(RFP);
• The RFP was published on the county website on August 27, 2024 and in the Jefferson County
Leader on August 29,2024, September 3, 2024, and September 9,2024, and the Seattle Journal of
Commerce on August 29, 2024, September 3,2024,and September 9, 2024;
• At a regular meeting on September 23, 2024,the Board discussed the CWSP,and appointed
Commissioner Eisenhour as the alternate in the event Commissioner Brotherton is unavailable;
• Without any proposals received by the September 26, 2024 deadline,the CSO updated and
republished the RFP on October 3,2024(See Attachment 2—October 3, 2024 Request for
Proposals);
• The CSO distributed the RFP to more than 400 consultants on the Municipal Research and
Services Center of Washington(MRSC)roster(see Attachment 3 —RFP EMAIL
DISTRIBUTION LIST);
• The CSO convened the reconstituted WUCC's first public meeting on December 3, 2024 to
establish rules of procedure, voting protocols, and officers, as required by statute. (Commissioner
Brotherton was appointed Chair and PUD General Manager Kevin Streett Vice Chair)
• To reduce the CWSP cost burden,the CSO is applying for funding from a planning and
engineering loan often convertible to a grant and the source water protection program.
1
BACKGROUND:
The CWSP is designed to optimize the delivery of a safe and reliable water supply by coordinating the
planning, development, operation, and management of public water systems within a designated area,
ensuring efficient use of water resources through collaboration among water systems that serve at least 15
service connections or 25 or more people for at least 60 days a year. To provide guidance to smaller
water systems, the Board also directed that the reconstituted WUCC include one member representing a
Group B water utility. Group B systems are designated as those that serve 3 to 14 service connections
and either serves less than 25 people per day or 25 or more people per day during a period less than 60
days per year.
Last updated in 1997,the Jefferson County Coordinated Water System Plan("CWSP")requires revisions
to incorporate new water law and implement best practices. Generally,the required procedures are
contained in the Washington Administrative Code(WAC), Chapter 248-56 WATER SYSTEM
COORDINATION ACT—PROCEDURAL REGULATIONS. Companion provisions address the
community's need for fire-protection in Chapter 248-57 WATER SYSTEM COORDINATION ACT—
FIRE FLOW REGULATIONS. While the CWSP should consider the water infrastructure needs over a
50-year planning horizon, it must meet a minimum 20-year planning horizon.
ANALYSIS:
HDR submitted the attached response to the county's RFP(See,Attachment 4—Proposal). Despite
directly e-mailing more than 450 different consultants as set for in Attachment 3, HDR was the only
responding firm. After staff review and discussion of the proposal, HDR reorganized the bid to reflect the
full cost of optional elements related to the preparation of a climate element and providing guidance and
support to group B water systems. Group B systems are not a required part of CWSPs. These optional
components could therefore qualify for grants, as the Department of Health stated that required CWSP
content is generally not grant eligible.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
Based on the attached professional services agreement,the overall cost of this project will be$207,000.
After careful consideration, $125,000 of the fee will originate from the county's climate planning grant
and the remainder from the largest WUCC members, specifically the Jefferson PUD and the City of Port
Townsend, which represent respectively 30%and 40%of Group A water system connections in Jefferson
County. This allocation may change if submitted grants are successful.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the attached contract with HDR Consultants, and commit to approving budget authority during
the I'Quarter Budget Supplemental.

RE: WUCC Endorsement of HDR, Inc.
Dear Board of County Commissioners:
At the December 4, 2024 Special Meeting of the Water Utility Coordinating Committee (WUCC), I
was authorized by the WUCC to include with the Professional Service Agreement(PSA) a letter
recommending that the Board of County Commissioners approve a request to retain HDR, Inc. to
update the Jefferson County Coordinated Water System Plan.
After careful consideration of the firm's qualifications, experience within Jefferson County, and
prior work with county stakeholders, the WUCC believes that retaining HDR, Inc. would be in the
best interests of the county.
Warm regards,
Greg Brotherton

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Jefferson County
Coordinated Water System Plan Update
Background
Last updated in 1997, the Jefferson County Coordinated Water System Plan (CWSP) requires
revisions to incorporate new water law and implement best practices. To make the CWSP more
applicable to current and anticipated issues, the County is undertaking an effort to update the
CWSP.
The County has reconvened the Jefferson County Water Utility Coordinating Committee
(WUCC) to guide the development of the CWSP Update. HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) has
been selected to provide assistance to the County and the WUCC in this effort, by providing the
following services:
• Facilitation of WUCC and associated subcommittee meetings.
• Research and analysis of topics identified by the WUCC as requiring review.
• Preparation of the CWSP Update document, including County policies and procedures
related to CWSP implementation.
• Review existing County Code for consistency with the CWSP Update and prepare draft
modifications/amendment.
These HDR services are more fully described below, to be completed over approximately a 18-

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Jefferson County is requesting the services of a consultant to update/rewrite the 1997 Coordinated
Water System Plan (CWSP) drafted in accordance with the Public Water System Coordination Act
(Coordination Act) of 1977, RCW 70.116, and to prepare a "White Paper" with a preliminary analysis and
outline identifying CWSP quality, supply and data considerations specific to climate change.
In 1983, Jefferson County declared a Critical Water Supply Service Area ("CWSSA") through the
adoption of resolutions 97-83 and 118-83, and appointed a Water Utility Coordinating Committee
(WUCC) to oversee the development and implementation of a CWSP. Water planning, engineering
and technical analysis resulted in the county's 1986 CWSP adopted through resolution 13-86 by the
Jefferson County Board of Commissioners (Board or BoCC) on January 23, 1986. In 2024, the Board
established a new WUCC by Resolution 08-24.
In the 1990s, the WUCC sought to update the 1986 CWSP. This effort resulted in a 1997 CWSP
update which provides a useful overview. The 1997 CWSP will assist the successful proposer
understand the challenges facing water purveyors in the CWSSA, and may be a good starting point in
the development of the 2025 CWSP.
Request for Proposal—2025 COORDINATED WATER SYSTEM PLAN Update 2
JEFFERSON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
EXPECTED TERM OF RESULTING AGREEMENT
The expected term of the initial contract will be 18 months and may be extended upon the Proposer's
or County's request. The CWSP will likely be incorporated by reference in the Jefferson County
Comprehensive Plan Capital Facilities Element, as part of the Periodic Update or, alternatively, in the
2026 Comprehensive Plan update. Jefferson County is required to complete a 'White Paper' by June
2025, as set forth in this RFP. Adoption of the updated CWSP may occur with the county's periodic
update by December 31, 2025 pursuant to statute, RCW 36.70A.130 (5) (b), or with the 2026
comprehensive plan update cycle by December 31, 2026.
SCOPE OF WORK— EXHIBIT A
Jefferson County Department of Community Development requests the services of a consultant to
undertake a major update of the CWSP. Related information can be found on our CWSP web page;
https://www.co.aefferson.wa.us/1 764/Coordinated-Water-System
In your submittal, Jefferson County requests proposers to provide detailed cost estimates of updating or
rewriting the 1997 CWSP to meet the state's minimum requirements and completing a companion 'White
Paper' by June 2025. Proposers are requested to separately estimate costs for those accompanying
activities that are 'best practices' but not required by state law such as the (1) Climate Change White
Paper and (2) Group B system meetings and coordination.
It is anticipated that the contractor will be responsible for the following items; however,
the final scope will be further negotiated with the successful consultant.
1) Facilitate eleven (11) meetings consisting of:
• Six (6) Water Utility Coordinating Committee (WUCC) meetings, which are
anticipated once per quarter and
• Two (2) subcommittee meetings,
• Two (2) joint departmental meetings with the Public Health Department,
specifically the Environmental Public Health, and the Department of Community
Development staff
• One (1) water purveyor meeting, which would bring together Group A water
utilities with fewer than 50 connections and Group B water utilities
NOTE: While required for this submittal, the water purveyor meeting would not typically be a requirement
for the CWSP. The associated costs should therefore be estimated separately as an optional activity.
2) Research relevant topics and draft background material, procedures, and policies.
3) Incorporated new provisions governing water systems, including among others
components, the State Municipal Water Law of 2003, updated definitions of
municipal water supplier, required water use efficiency measures, and water loss
control.
4) Draft a "White Paper" by June 2025 that presents the climate change issues related to
the CWSP update such as quality, supply and data considerations
5) Present draft material to WUCC for discussion and revision.
6) Draft CWSP document that reflects the WUCC's final recommendation.
7) Review Jefferson County Code for consistency with CWSP Update, and if necessary,
draft amendments to the code or Comprehensive Plan for Jefferson County.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE FOR PROFESSIONAL, TECHNICAL, SUPPLY OR SERVICES
It is the policy of Jefferson County to foster an environment that encourages economic growth and diversification,
business development and retention, increases competition and reduces unemployment. In support of that policy,
Jefferson County reaffirms its commitment to maximize opportunities in public contracting for all contractors
including minority and women owned business enterprises. Jefferson County encourages participation in all of its
contracts by Disadvantaged, Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MWBE) as certified by the Office of
Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (OMWBE) and defined in WAC 326-02-030. Nevertheless, unless
required by federal law, no preference will be given for meeting voluntary goals for MWBE participation in the
evaluation of proposals; and proposals will not be rejected or considered non-responsive due to a failure to meet
voluntary goals. Bidders may contact OMWBE to obtain information on certified MBE/WBE firms. Persons with
disabilities may request this information be prepared and supplied in alternate formats by calling (360) 379-4463.
Bidders are encouraged to utilize qualified, local businesses in Jefferson County and Washington State where cost
effectiveness is deemed competitive. In addition, Bidders are encouraged to subcontract with firms certified by the
Washington State Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MWBE).
A. MWBE DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE

Business Enterprises (OMWBE). Copies of the directory are available from the State OMWBE (360-753-
9693)
B. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY:
Upon execution of this contract, the Contractor shall comply with the Equal Employment Opportunity
requirements set forth below. The Contractor shall not violate any of the terms of Chapter 49.60 of the
Revised Code of Washington, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or any other applicable federal, state, or
local law or regulation regarding nondiscrimination.
1. No person or firm employed by the Contractor shall be subject to retaliation for opposing any practice
made unlawful by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act(29 U.S.C.
621 et seq.), the Equal Pay Act(29 U.S.C. 206(d), the Rehabilitation Act(29 U.S.C. 791 et seq.), the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or for participating in any stage of administrative or judicial
proceedings under those statutes.
2. The Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that qualified applicants and employees shall
have an equal opportunity to compete for advertised or in-house positions for employment. Applicants and
employees shall be treated fairly without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national

RE: Proposal to Provide Engineering Services Related to the 2025
Coordinated Water System Plan Update
Dear members of the selection committee,
Preparation of an updated coordinated water system plan (CWSP) offers
significant opportunities to take stock of Jefferson County's (County's)
drinking-water needs, the portfolio of supplies and strategies available 2 CAPACITY AND
to meet those needs, and a wide range of topics that are foundational to AVAILABILITY
the effective coordination of water utilities throughout the critical water-
supply service area that must reliably supply safe drinking water to their
consumers while sustainably managing the area's resources.
Based on many years of experience conducting regional water-resource
planning efforts, including updating CWSPs for multiple Washington
counties, and preparing water system plans (WSPs)for individual utilities 3 APPROACH TO
across the state,the HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) team is ready to support WORK
the County in efficiently completing this CWSP update. Our team offers
you the following benefits: Page 12
• Unmatched experience in preparing CWSP updates,providing the
County with a proven approach that will lead to CWSP adoption by
the Water Utility Coordinating Committee(WUCC),and approval by
the Washington State Department of Health (DOH). The HDR team
prepared the most recently updated CWSP in western Washington: the
Pierce County CWSP and Regional Supplement (2021 Update). Led by 4 REFERENCES
our project manager, Jeff Hansen, the Pierce County effort addressed
many of the same topics that are of importance to Jefferson County,
including updating policy and procedural language to reflect changes
in the water utility and water-resource regulatory environment that
have occurred since adoption of the 1997 Jefferson County CWSP. HDR
supported Pierce County not only in conducting the necessary technical
work, but also in facilitating the WUCC and multiple subcommittees in
working through challenging policy issues for which there were often 5 ESTIMATED COSTS
divergent views. Guided by Jeff and WUCC leadership, clear policy Page 20
recommendations were developed and incorporated into the final
CWSP. This recent, similar experience will provide efficient completion
of a CWSP that can be readily adopted by the WUCC and approved
by DOH.
• Extensive planning and design experience for Jefferson County water APPENDIX A
utilities,providing a strong foundational knowledge of local issues. RESUMES
HDR has prepared more than 20 WSPs for multiple utilities in the
Pacific Northwest over the past 10 years.This includes WSPs locally
hdrinc.com
for the Jefferson County Public Utility District (JPUD), owner and operator of multiple water systems in eastern
Jefferson County, and Olympic Water&Sewer, Inc. (OWSI). Our staff includes planners and engineers who
routinely work with local and state regulators in updating such plans, as well as design of system improvements.
For example, David Kuhns has been providing design services for multiple JPUD water systems for more than
5 years. HDR's experience in planning, utility management, and water system design is complemented by the
groundwater and water-rights expertise of our teaming partner Terraphase Engineering,Inc.(Terraphase).
Max Wills brings more than 20 years of experience working with groundwater wells for Jefferson County
water utilities, while Joe Becker brings more than 30 years of experience assisting utilities throughout western
Washington on water-rights issues. HDR and Terraphase work together routinely, bringing our combined
resources to support utilities on a range of water utility needs. Currently we are working together with Tacoma
Water on evaluating updates to groundwater protection requirements. Our team's water system planning and
design experience, including recent work in Jefferson County, allows us to hit the ground running exploring the
technical topics of interest to the County.
• Western Washington experience integrating climate-change and small-system planning into broader
planning efforts,offering you depth of key issues knowledge. Our team includes climate scientists and
hydrologists, Erin Little and Ted Shannon, who have experience evaluating climate-change impacts on western
Washington hydrology/hydrogeology, and who will support the team in preparing the climate-change white
paper required as part of this effort. Ted is currently supporting Jeff in updating long-range water-resource
planning for Tacoma Water,which involves application of an appropriate subset of global climate-change
models, downscaled to understand local area impacts, to water-supply availability projections. This work
also considers impacts to watershed health and water-quality parameters. We will build off the foundational
understanding of climate-change issues such as those to explore the pertinent impacts in Jefferson County.
Similarly, Jeff and the Terraphase team have experience working with small systems through issues such as
operator/management transition and potential consolidation. Through this work and our experience with DOH's
Group B water system guidance material, our experts can facilitate discussions with representatives of such
systems and assist the County in developing policies/procedures that support them.
• A commitment to serve the County with high-quality work.The team we have assembled for this project
has a long track record of providing exceptional customer service and on-time delivery. We achieve this
through constant attention to clear communication, detailed tracking of every task and subtask, and monthly
project management meetings and progress reporting. Our planning staff have experience preparing technical
documents that are streamlined and accessible by a wide range of readers, including elected leaders. These
features of our team will support efficient preparation of a high-quality CWSP update document.
We appreciate this opportunity to submit this proposal. We look forward to negotiating and coming up with
agreeable contract terms at a later date. Please contact Jeff (jeff.hansen@hdrinc.com 1360.570.4410) if you have
any questions about our approach to this project or any information contained herein.

Capacity and Availability
HDR has approximately 600 employees working in different offices all over Washington State, including
Olympia, Bellevue, Gig Harbor, Seattle, Everett, and Spokane. HDR has long had an experienced group of
professional water planners and engineers located in Olympia, which includes the key team that will provide
services to Jefferson County on this CWSP update. Our project planner, Mika Vogt, will operate in partnership
with our project manager and project engineer, Jeff Hansen and David Kuhns, respectively, as displayed on
the organizational chart included with this submittal. If needed,this team has access to additional specialists
in Bellevue, Seattle, and other Northwest locations with expertise in areas such as groundwater development,
aquifer storage and recovery, water utility design, utility coordination, economics, environmental analysis, State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) compliance, drinking-water treatment, water rights, and other disciplines.
For this project, HDR can commit Jeff, David, and Mika for the planned duration of the project, available on
average 20 percent of the time. Other specialists can be scheduled for periodic participation to meet the
County's needs and project schedule.
