AI overview
Zone 7 Water Agency is seeking a qualified consultant to represent the agency in working with a gravel quarry consultant team responsible for reconfiguring mining pond reclamation. The goal is to complete a design that enables Zone 7 to achieve its water management goals, priorities, and surface mining permit reclamation plan requirements, while ensuring viable future operations and maintenance.
In 1981, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors adopted the Livermore Amador Valley Quarry Area Reclamation (LAVQAR) Site Specific Plan, which established the concept of the Chain of Lakes as mitigation for Zone 7 due to the removal of aquifer materials. All surface mining permits and corresponding reclamation plans issued in the Livermore Groundwater Basin must comply with LAVQAR. The current quarry operator, Vulcan Materials Company, is investigating the feasibility of an alternative configuration for some of the lakes in the Chain of Lakes under their surface mining permit and reclamation plan.
The selected consultant will support Zone 7 during the assessment of alternative lake configurations, evaluating designs proposed by Vulcan's consultant to ensure Zone 7 can achieve its water management goals, priorities, and reclamation plan requirements. Proposals must be submitted through the E-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/zone7water by 9:00 AM on Monday, July 27, 2026. Key deadlines include a Q&A deadline of July 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
The solicitation number is RFP-2026-002, and the procurement contact is Zeljka Bozic (Buyer I). The project is located in Livermore, California. The agency seeks expertise in geotechnical, engineering, geological, hydrological, and mining consulting services to fulfill this scope of work.
