SCWA - Westside Districts One Year Water Transfer

The Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) has entered into a one-year agreement to transfer up to 9,650 acre-feet of State Water Project water to the Westside Districts, with performance spanning Solano, Kings, and Kern Counties in California. The contract, posted on October 1, 2025, is structured as a temporary water transfer with a period of performance from October 1, 2024, to October 1, 2025. While the transaction is formalized under state water rights and environmental compliance mechanisms, no pricing, contract value, line items, or payment terms are disclosed, and there is no indication of formal procurement processes such as solicitation numbers, evaluation criteria, or award methodology. The agreement relies on a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15601(b)(3), with a certified Notice of Exemption filed as the principal environmental compliance document, and no additional contractual clauses, inspection specifications, packaging requirements, or federal representation certifications are present. The lead point of contact is Alex Rabidoux, Assistant General Manager at SCWA, who serves as the primary agency representative without formal designation as a contracting officer or technical representative. There is no mention of invoicing procedures, accounting codes, delivery terms, or subcontracting provisions, and no evidence of small business status, socioeconomic designations, or unique entity identifiers for regulatory reporting. The entire arrangement is administratively anchored in environmental exemption compliance rather than traditional federal acquisition frameworks, with all operational and legal obligations centered on the movement of water under state jurisdiction and approved through state environmental review processes.
