Eighth Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding with Long Beach Utilities Department for Continued Water Quality Sampling, Monitoring, and Reporting through Sep

The Eighth Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Long Beach Harbor Department and the Long Beach Utilities Department extends the agreement for three years, through September 30, 2028, allowing the Utilities Department to continue providing water quality sampling, analysis, and reporting services for approximately 230 miles of water transmission pipelines owned by the Harbor Department. These services are essential to meet regulatory requirements set forth by the State Water Resources Control Board Department of Drinking Water, ensuring the safety and compliance of the city’s water infrastructure. The amendment reaffirms the ongoing partnership between the two departments to maintain water quality standards across the pipeline network. Fred Greco, Director of Maintenance, and Allyson Teramoto, Manager, serve as the primary points of contact for this agreement, overseeing its implementation and coordination. The contract is forecasted to be posted on July 20, 2026, under the Long Beach, Port of agency in California, with all performance activities centered in Long Beach. No solicitation number or NAICS code is specified, indicating this is an interdepartmental arrangement rather than a competitive procurement. The extension ensures operational continuity without disruption to critical water quality monitoring obligations.
