The CAMP4W update identifies Sites Reservoir as a major off‑stream storage project in Northern California that Metropolitan is evaluating at approximately 22% participation. At that share, Metropolitan would receive about 312 TAF of storage and a long‑term annual average of 32 TAF, with 56 TAF in dry and critically dry years, and its estimated cost share is $1.7B based on 2025 estimates. The report notes that the Metropolitan Board is expected to make a funding decision on Sites in late 2026 or early 2027, and that preliminary CAMP4W assessments for Sites are still being refined. This creates a window for storage, conveyance, modeling, and financial advisors to provide scenario analysis, portfolio optimization, and implementation planning support as staff and member agencies weigh participation level, risk allocation, and integration with the SWP and Delta conveyance. Vendors should position around helping quantify benefits under a range of Colorado River and SWP climate scenarios and structuring program delivery and risk-sharing mechanisms for this multi‑party asset.

An exchange agreement between Sites Project Authority and DWR has been approved by Sites boards (sub...

SFPUC authorized issuance of bonds and other debt to fund remaining development costs for its 525 Golden Gate Avenue headquarters and refund outstanding Build America Bonds, with enterprise shares up to $493M (Water), $225M (Wastewater), and $13M (Power). The General Manager is also authorized to enter purchase contracts with Barclays and propose enabling ordinances to the Board.

Authorizations apply separately to Power (26-0089), Water (26-0090), and Wastewater (26-0091) Enterp...

The July 14, 2026 FAAME Committee materials include a detailed actuarial valuation report for Metropolitan’s Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) as of July 1, 2025, prepared by Cheiron. The report shows the actuarial liability increasing from $493.6 million in 2023 to $626.3 million in 2025, with the unfunded actuarial liability rising to about $207.0 million and the actuarially determined contributions (ADC) set at $33.9 million for FY 2027 and $34.9 million for FY 2028, funded via CalPERS CERBT Strategy 1. This signals a growing long-term benefit obligation and a defined funding plan using biannual actuarial studies, asset smoothing, and layered amortization bases. Vendors offering actuarial consulting, OPEB plan design, labor strategy, financial advisory services, investment consulting, benefits administration tools, or GASB 74/75 reporting support can target Metropolitan as it manages rising healthcare liabilities and evaluates assumptions, plan design, and funding policies over the coming years.

Metropolitan currently contributes the full ADC annually and invests OPEB assets through CERBT Strat...

SVCW’s Strategic Treatment Advancement Roadmap (STAR) planning has identified two alternatives to achieve a mandated 65% nitrogen load reduction by 2034 under the 2024 Nutrient Watershed Permit. The planning budget is $2 million, but resulting construction is expected to cost more than $300 million across multiple projects. Design, program management, finance, and construction vendors should track this as a long‑term capital program that will need detailed design, delivery, and funding strategies before 2034 deadlines.

Hazen and Sawyer holds the current STAR planning task order; no implementation design or constructio...
