2026 Annual Water Supply Demand Assessment

West Basin Municipal Water District, serving nearly one million residents in coastal Los Angeles through imported and recycled water, is undertaking its 2026 Annual Water Supply Demand Assessment. This solicitation, issued on March 16, 2026, invites qualified entities to submit proposals by April 16, 2026, to support West Basin’s mission of delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality water with a strong focus on environmental stewardship and sound resource management. The assessment will align with West Basin’s commitment to water reliability and quality, ensuring that future supply meets the needs of its retail agencies and communities. West Basin’s contracts for professional and general services, transportation, and supply agreements adhere to stringent administrative, legal, and financial provisions. These commonly include detailed scopes of work, terms of service, compensation on a time-and-material basis with specified payment caps, rigorous billing and invoice requirements, confidentiality, data ownership, and regulatory compliance clauses. Additionally, all agreements maintain robust insurance mandates and indemnification provisions to safeguard both parties. This structured approach ensures accountability, continuity of service, and compliance with applicable laws while supporting West Basin’s overall operational and strategic objectives in water supply management.
