Transfer of Dudley Ridge Water District’s State Water Project Table A Water to Santa Clara Valley Water District (SWP #25019)

The agreement SWP #25019 facilitates a non-permanent transfer of 500 acre-feet of State Water Project 2025 Table A water from Dudley Ridge Water District to Santa Clara Valley Water District, with Dudley Ridge acting on behalf of landowner Westside Agriculture LLC. The transfer must be completed by December 31, 2025, and will occur via existing infrastructure in Reach 9 of the South Bay Aqueduct, delivering water directly into Santa Clara’s service area without any new construction or land use changes. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15301 due to the use of existing facilities, and it operates under the established framework of the State Water Project’s long-term water supply contracts. The California Department of Water Resources oversees this arrangement as the state agency responsible for managing the SWP, with primary contact points including Patrick Luzuriaga from DWR and Jamie Marquez from Dudley Ridge Water District. No contract value is specified in the documentation, and pricing, invoicing procedures, payment details, or accounting codes are not provided. There is no formal solicitation, evaluation criteria, or federal acquisition regulation structure in place, as this is a state-level water rights transfer governed by California water law and administrative procedures. Delivery is expected to be completed within the 2025 water year, with acceptance implied at the delivery point in Santa Clara’s service area, though no explicit inspection protocols, quality standards, or acceptance authority are defined. Neither subcontracting requirements, socioeconomic certifications, nor federal procurement representations apply, given the public agency nature of all parties involved.
