What does Groundwater do?

The Groundwater agency, operating under the Zone 7 Water Agency in Livermore, California, is dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability and resilience of local groundwater resources through science-based planning and regulatory compliance. Its core mission centers on evaluating, monitoring, and managing groundwater basins to meet state mandates under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), with a primary focus on developing and reviewing Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plans. Strategic priorities include conducting periodic technical assessments, integrating hydrogeological modeling, and engaging stakeholders in data-driven decision-making processes to safeguard water supply reliability for future generations. Key programs emphasize basin-wide hydrologic analysis, conjunctive use strategies, and adaptive management frameworks aligned with California’s groundwater governance requirements. The agency procures specialized engineering services to support technical evaluations of groundwater systems, particularly those requiring advanced hydrological modeling, data interpretation, and plan certification. Contracts are typically structured as performance-based solicitations requiring expert validation of complex hydrogeological conditions and regulatory alignment. Procurements are issued through competitive processes without set-asides, indicating a preference for technical expertise over socioeconomic preferences. The primary procurement category is NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting a consistent reliance on licensed professional engineers and hydrogeologists to deliver analytical, planning, and compliance-oriented deliverables. The agency prioritizes vendors with proven experience in groundwater sustainability planning, basin characterization, and SGMA-related reporting. Vendor relationships are built around technical credibility, regulatory familiarity, and demonstrated success in multi-year groundwater management projects. As a division of the Zone 7 Water Agency, the Groundwater entity operates within Alameda County with jurisdiction over the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin. It functions as a technical oversight unit within a regional water authority, utilizing formal solicitations to engage qualified engineering firms for compliance-critical assessments. The agency relies on performance-driven contract vehicles to secure specialized, non-recurring expertise rather than routine operational services.
