ADDENDUM NO. 3

This Addendum is meant to address Questions and Answers to the Survey, Mapping, Right of Way Engineering/Title Services Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 10139620, as originally posted on December 7, 2017. Potential respondents submitted numerous questions on the December 14 and 21 question submittal deadlines. This addendum provides the questions and answers related to the Survey, Mapping, Right of Way Engineering/Title Services RFQ. This addendum also summarizes forthcoming changes to the process for evaluation of responses and award of the contract that will be the subject of a subsequent addendum. In addition, this Addendum changes the due date for responses to March 2, 2018. This Addendum No. 3 is organized as follows:

1. Overview of Changes to Evaluation and Award

2. Original RFQ Revisions

3. Questions and Answers

Overview of Changes to Evaluation and Award:

Overview of Subsequent Addendum As currently planned, the design and construction of the California WaterFix will be managed by a proposed Joint Powers Agency (JPA) under contract with DWR. Although this JPA has not yet been formed, DWR is notifying potential respondents of forthcoming changes in the process for selection and award to reflect that the JPA will evaluate and select the consultants once the JPA is formed. The details of this change will be the subject of a subsequent Addendum to be issued at a later date. In summary, the subsequent Addendum will change the process for selection of the consultant and award of the contract to provide that 1) the JPA, not DWR, will evaluate responses and award the contract, 2) the JPA will be using the procurement and contracting procedures of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, one of its presumed member agencies, and 3) responses shall be submitted to the State who will hold them unopened for forwarding to the JPA once it is formed. DWR is in the process of evaluating different ways of implementing the CWF including possible construction in stages, with the first stage consisting of two North Delta intakes instead of three, and one main tunnel instead of two. The second stage of construction would complete the facilities as approved at a subsequent time. Addendum No. 3 will require that respondents address how their submittals may be affected if there is a staged implementation.

Relationship of Services to JPA Under the supervision of DWR, the JPA will design, construct and deliver completed California WaterFix facilities to DWR upon completion of system commissioning. The overall goal of the JPA will be to safely design, construct and deliver the project on time, on budget and in accordance with approved specifications, while managing risk prudently. The JPA will be a separate public agency, organized as a special purpose agency pursuant to California’s Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.), consisting of certain public

water agency members. A detailed agreement between DWR and the JPA will govern their respective roles and responsibilities in carrying out the design and construction of the California WaterFix. DWR will retain ultimate ownership and control over the California WaterFix facilities. The JPA will sunset as the California WaterFix is completed. With the JPA in place, all consultant and contractor agreements for design and construction of the California WaterFix, as well as any agreements for staffing and services provided to the JPA, will be with, and managed by, the JPA. However, because the JPA does not yet exist, the solicitations for services have been issued by DWR. The JPA will evaluate and award the contracts.
