Deadline for submission of proposals: 5pm Pacific Time on August 14, 2026
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Santa Ynez River Valley Groundwater Basin (SYRVGB) is managed in accordance with California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) via three distinct Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). The three GSAs are identified as the Eastern, Central, and Western Management Areas (EMA, CMA, and WMA), respectively.
The three GSAs were awarded grant funding through a Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Implementation Grant (Prop 68 Grant) to address data gaps identified in the Groundwater Sustainability Plan prepared for the three management areas. The Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District (SYRWCD) serves as the grantee on behalf of the three GSAs to administer the Prop 68 Grant.
The three GSAs in the SYRVGB are seeking three separate proposals (one for each GSA) from a qualified C-57 licensed drilling contractor for the installation of three monitoring wells and three piezometers at six different locations in the SYRVGB. The scope of work for each project, general information, and requirements for submittal of a bid are described in detail in the bid packages linked below.
