Oak Flat Water District Multi-Year Water Banking and Transfer Program

Oak Flat Water District has entered into a Multi-Year Water Purchase Option Agreement with Beltran Farms, Inc. and Homer LLC to facilitate the transfer of up to 1,858 acre-feet per year of State Water Project supplies, totaling 55,740 acre-feet over a 30-year term, from the Beltran property to Homer LLC. This arrangement enables Homer to use the assigned water supplies both within and outside of Oak Flat Water District’s service area, limited to designated State Water Project places of use, across multiple California counties including Kern, Stanislaus, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Water can be delivered directly to Homer’s properties or sold and transferred to third-party water management partners, with the flexibility to temporarily store water in the existing Semitropic Southwest Regional Underground storage facility to optimize timing and调度. The project does not increase total State Water Project diversions from the Delta, nor does it require new infrastructure, expansions, or upgrades, operating entirely within pre-existing system capacities and under previously approved environmental compliance documents. No new facilities are being constructed, and all deliveries are constrained by current operational limits and CEQA-approved frameworks. The water will be used solely to offset existing demands and cannot support new or unplanned development. While the contract provides operational flexibility for water banking and transfers, it does not include pricing terms, line-item costs, or financial obligations specified in the documentation. The agreement lacks traditional federal acquisition contract elements such as standardized clauses, evaluation factors, contract administration data, or procurement-specific requirements, positioning it as a state-level water rights transfer governed by environmental and water management regulations rather than federal procurement protocols. Oversight and coordination are managed by Oak Flat Water District through its designated Lead Agency Contact, with no formal appointment of a Contracting Officer’s Representative, Procurement Contracting Officer, or technical representative.
