Transfer of Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7’s 2025 SWP Table A Water to Dudley Ridge WD and/or Kern County WA

SWP Agreement #25024 authorizes a non-permanent transfer of up to 8,000 acre-feet of 2025 State Water Project Table A water from the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7, to the Westside Districts, which include Dudley Ridge Water District and four Kern County Water Agency member districts: Belridge Water Storage District, Berrenda Mesa Water District, Lost Hills Water District, and Wheeler Ridge – Maricopa Water Storage District. The water will be conveyed through existing State Water Project infrastructure, specifically Reaches 8D, 9–16A, and 31A of the California Aqueduct, with delivery occurring at designated turnout points within the service areas of Dudley Ridge and KCWA. The transfer must be completed no later than December 31, 2025, and is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption due to the use of existing facilities without land use change. The agreement is managed under the authority of the California Department of Water Resources, with primary administrative contacts including Patrick Luzuriaga and Elke Rank. No federal acquisition regulations apply to this transaction, as it is a state-level water rights transfer under California law rather than a federal procurement. There is no contractual pricing information provided, and the contract type is not classified under standard federal procurement categories such as FFP or IDIQ. The agreement relies on statutory exemptions under the California Water Code and operational protocols of the State Water Project, with no specified invoicing procedures, payment office, accounting codes, or contracting officer representatives identified. Performance is measured by volume delivered and adherence to the December 31, 2025 deadline, with acceptance occurring at the delivery turnouts. No UEI, CAGE, small business, or socioeconomic certifications are required or provided, and there are no solicitations, evaluation factors, or submission deadlines as this is not a competitive procurement but a direct water allocation agreement.
