Transfer of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s 2025 State Water Project Table A Water to Dudley Ridge WD and/or Kern County WA

The contract pertains to the non-permanent transfer of up to 100,000 acre-feet of State Water Project Table A water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to Dudley Ridge Water District and/or Kern County Water Agency, to be completed by December 31, 2025. The water will be delivered through existing State Water Project infrastructure, specifically to designated turnouts along the California Aqueduct including Reach 8D, Reaches 9–16A, and Reach 31A Coastal Branch, for use within the recipient agencies’ service areas. The transaction is administrative in nature, relying on preexisting long-term water supply contracts and does not involve new construction, physical shipment, packaging, labeling, or preservation requirements. No pricing, contract value, or payment terms are specified, as the transfer operates under interagency water allocation agreements rather than a commercial procurement. The activity is classified as a forecast under California’s Department of Water Resources and is covered by a CEQA Class 1 categorical exemption, affirming that it involves existing facilities with no significant environmental impact. No formal evaluation factors, award methodology, inspection criteria, or acceptance protocols are established in the documentation, and there are no identified contracting officer representatives, invoicing procedures, or federal acquisition regulatory clauses. The primary contacts are Patrick Luzuriaga of the Department of Water Resources and Tracy Abundez of Metropolitan Water District, with submissions required to be mailed to the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation in Sacramento, though no explicit proposal deadline is given beyond the December 31, 2025 project completion date.
