BACKGROUND:
BFGW has been retained to perform consulting services for the purposes of coordinating and preparing an
application to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to remove the beneficial use designation
from the groundwater basin in the area of the Chula Vista Bayfront. Concerns raised by water service
agencies has necessitated additional work to be performed before the application can be considered by the
Regional Water Quality Control Board. Those additional services are beyond the original scope of the original
consultant agreement. necessitating a change order to that agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency adopt a resolution approving the second Change Order to the
Cost Sharing Agreement by and between the Redevelopment Agency, B.F. Goodrich Aerospace,
Aerostructures Group, the San Diego Unified Port District and BFGW Group, LLC for services related to
groundwater basin redesignation; and Authorizing Executive Director to execute same.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
The Agency, B.F. Goodrich and the Port are mutual beneficiaries of the proposed redesignation action. The
specific economic benefits accruing to each entity are not easily defined. Therefore, the original cost sharing
agreement split the costs for consulting services related to the redesignation on an equal basis. The second
Change Order proposes to split costs in the same manner. The Agency is asked to share $23,200 of the
$69,600 change order.
The Bayfront area is currently designated by the RWQCB for "beneficial" groundwater uses (domestic,
agricultural or industrial). This means that water quality protection standards are sufficiently stringent to
02 -(
Page 2. Item -
Meeting Date 08111/98
guarantee that groundwater will be safe for drinking. However, in this area, salt content in the groundwater
is too high for the water to be useable as a drinking water source.
Since groundwater quality in the subject area is naturally below drinking water standards and always will
be because of bay water intrusion, it is reasonable to support removal of the beneficial use designation.
The proposed action would benefit redevelopment efforts by removing a perceptual hurdle to development.
Because of long term industrial uses in the bayfront area, there is reasonable suspicion that soil and/or
groundwater contamination may exist in the area. In light of this suspicion, a potential developer may
perceive that redevelopment in the bayfront area would require seemingly difficult cleanup of that
contamination to drinking water standards. The RWQCB has indicated that cleanup standards would be
based on aquatic life standards, rather than drinking water standards regardless of the beneficial use
designation. However, staff believes that removal of the negative perception of the beneficial use
designation would help in the effort to bring interested developers to the bayfront.
The Sweetwater Authority, as well as other water service agencies, have expressed concerns over the
redesignation, in light of their efforts to develop a groundwater storage and recharge program to reduce the
region's dependence on imported water. In a meeting with representatives of the Sweetwater Authority,
their consultants, the Port and the City, it was agreed that a modified approach to the Basin Plan
redesignation, one that would explore and define a separation between the shallow aquifer and the formation
to be used for groundwater storage, should be pursued. This requires additional work by the consultant.
The proposed change order and the extent of consultant services that it authorizes is fixed in terms of price
and deliverables. Responsibilities of the consultant are clearly defined.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The costs for the original contract was $105,000, of which the Agency's share was $35,000. The first
change order amount was $30,000, of which the Agency paid $10,000. The second change order is for
$69,600, of which the Agency's share would be $23,200, bringing the total expenditures for this project
to $68,200. Funds for this expenditure are available in the Bayfront Planning, Survey and Design account
(990-9907-5516).

("Cost Sharing Agreement").
The parties hereby agree to the following ADDITION to the Cost Sharing Agreement:
1. Scope of Work
BFGW has completed the preparation of an application to the Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) requesting redesignation of portions of the La Nacion and
Telegraph Hydrologic Subareas west ofInterstate Highway 5. Said application has been
submitted to the RWQCB, and been reviewed by them, which satisfies the original
contract between BFGW and the applicants - the City, the Port and Goodrich. Opposition
to approval of the aforementioned change may be removed by providing a demonstration
that the hydraulic communication between the shallow groundwater aquifer and the
deeper San Diego Formation aquifer is minimal or absent. To that end under an
amendment to the original contract BFGW will do the following:
1. Develop a protocol which will determine the presence or absence of hydraulic
communication between the shallow groundwater aquifer and the San Dieog
Formation Aquifer;
2. Present the protocol to the cosultant for the Sweetwater Authority and the San
Diego County Water Authority (water agencies), David Huntley, for his
review and comment;
3. Revise the protocol as necessary, and obtain formal acceptance from Dr.
Huntley;
4. Present the protocol and Dr. Huntley acceptance to the Sweetwater Authority
and the San Diego County Water Authority, and obtain their formal
acceptance of the protocol (BFGW will not proceed further without
acceptance of the protocol and agreement that if hydraulic cornmunication is
minimal that the water purveyors objections will be rescinded);
5. Construct two wells at an approved location within the area to be
redesignated, one well is an observation well completed to a depth of
approximately 60 feet below grade, the other is an extraction well constructed
to a depth of approximately 250 feet below grade (the latter boring will be
lithologically logged and geophysically tested prior to completion and
development);

6. Collect samples for total dissolved solids (IDS) analyses;
7. Perform testing to determine appropriate pumping rate fo¡.'the extraction well;
8. Perform a pump test of approximately 48 hours, while monitoring the shallow
observation well;
9. Perform data analysis and prepare a report on the testing results;
10. Discuss the results with Dr. Huntley and the water agencies to determine the
water agencies position, and
11. Present the results and response ITom the water agencies to the Regional
Water Quality Control Board in support of the redesignation, if appropriate..
2. Costs
BFGW Group will perform this work on a time and materials basis, and provides
herein a not-to-exceed cost for the scope presented above. The total estimated
costs for the work includes:

executed copy of this Change Order.F or the purpose of scheduling, the project is
divided into three phases. The first phase entails development of the protocol and
obtaining concurrence ITom the water agencies. The second phase includes the
permitting, well construction, and aquifer testing. The third phase includes the
