Change Strategic Initiative to provide water utilities with a set of tools to assess vulnerabilities and develop applicable
adaptation strategies. These strategies can be used as a guide for other utilities to evaluate and plan for the impact
of climate change on water quantity, quality, and infrastructure. A scenario planning approach was used to evaluate
the impacts of climate change and develop adaptive strategies using an iterative process to promote flexible decision
making in the face of uncertainties and increase an organization’s preparedness. This planning approach can be
implemented for a range of potential changing conditions including future climate predictions, water supply demands,
and economic development to promote flexibility to changing circumstances.

overall objective is to identify climate related threats and hazards to the community surrounding Kaneohe military
base and to present recommendations that enhance resilience and adaption capacity of vulnerable resources within
the project study area. Hawaii’s unique geographic location makes the islands particularly susceptible to a myriad of
climate change impacts. Sea level rise and attendant local erosion and flooding, extreme heat, altered precipitation
patterns, and growing wildfire are evident and will become more prevalent in the future, placing an undue burden
on coastal communities and resources across the State. In order to avoid widespread environmental catastrophe,
development needs to prioritize sustainability and increasing climate resilience. The study will culminate with the three
regional implementation strategies identified, mapped, which will be considered “pilot projects.” Each pilot project will
recommend mitigation measures to better inform efforts and benefit surrounding communities.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
The One Water Climate Adaptation
Framework and Projects Plan, known
as One Water Honolulu (OWH), is
driven by Oahu’s need to adapt to
climate change. Climate change
is impacting Oahu, resulting in
simultaneous conditions of both
too much water and too little water.
This project builds upon the efforts
of the City and County of Honolulu
(CCH) Office of Climate Change,
Sustainability and Resiliency and the
strategies and actions set forth within
their Climate Ready Oahu plan.
City Ordinance 20-47 established a
One Water Panel in 2020 consisting of eight CCH departments who are charged with implementing an integrated resource
planning approach to managing finite freshwater, wastewater, and stormwater resources for long term resilience and reliability
to meet community and ecosystem needs.
OWH focuses on the prioritization of One Water climate resilience initiatives to address critical infrastructure through the
development of a Climate Adaptation Framework and a Collaboration Framework. The Climate Adaptation Framework will
facilitate climate change and sea level rise adaptation related to the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and
operation of key infrastructure under the direction of the One Water Panel agencies. The Collaboration Framework will include
guidance on internal and external stakeholder consultation, identify institutional barriers that hinder implementation of
an integrated One Water approach, and provide recommendations on how City departments and stakeholders can more
effectively collaborate to implement One Water projects and policies.
The One Water Honolulu plan will integrate and facilitate the management of freshwater, wastewater, and stormwater as one
asset, creating resource and financial efficiencies within the City. These efforts will lead to the identification of near-, mid-,
and long-term projects that will require collaboration between agencies and proactive adaptation to climate change impacts
for Oahu.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
BC led the adaptive management study “Sustaining Scioto” for a climate change adaptation
project with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission; the U.S. Geological Survey; the City
of Columbus, Del-Co Water Company, Inc.; the Ohio Water company, Inc.; The Ohio Water
Development Authority; and the Water Research Foundation.
Sustaining Scioto was a scientific study designed to evaluate the impact of climate change
on water quality for the drinking water supply and to develop recommendations to address
these issues. The goal was to make sure water resources were available for current
residents and businesses and to sustain future growth needs during changing climatic
conditions, including extreme drought or flood. Funded through a Water Research Foundation
grant, Sustaining Scioto was one of the first U.S. studies to consider both water quality and
quantity impacts in conjunction with land use change and buildout.
Conducted in two phases, the study began with the U.S. Geological Survey developing a computer model specifically for
the Upper Scioto watershed to project the impacts of changing weather patterns on the region’s water resources. In the
second phase, BC focused on the associated planning elements. These included developing future water demand and
land use projections based on projected growth within the watershed out to 2099, conducting a vulnerability assessment,
and developing adaptive strategies. Additionally, using the model results, BC developed a watershed water budget that
reflects projected future conditions, and performed a detailed review of available watershed water quality data to identify
contamination sources and impacts on reservoirs and raw water operations.
BC identified, categorized, and prioritized the risks to, and vulnerabilities of, the region’s water resources and infrastructure
to determine those that would have the greatest impact on the watershed. Finally, BC developed short-, mid-, and long-term
adaptive management strategies to mitigate the identified risks. Implementable adaptive strategies included developing a
regional collaborative forum to work on water quality and supply planning initiatives, emergency response preparedness, and
development of resource protection programs.
A Stakeholder Advisory Committee helped identify and prioritize system vulnerabilities and develop the adaptive management
strategies. The Stakeholder Advisory Committee included representatives from water and wastewater utilities, regulatory and
governmental agencies, environmental groups, private industry, and agriculture. Established at the project’s onset, the SAC
provided feedback and direction on each task to help ensure the varying interests and needs of the region’s water users
were considered—a key project component.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
The South Kohala District on Hawaii
Island faces significant flood risks
due to intense rainfall events and
urban development, which are
overwhelming the area’s stormwater
infrastructure and low-lying coastal
areas, and ultimately negatively
impacting public and private property.
BC is collaborating with the County of
Hawaii, Dept. of Public Works on the
South Kohala Flood Study. This project
is the initial phase in a comprehensive
strategy to manage runoff and mitigate
flooding in the region. By employing
advanced hydrologic and hydraulic
analyses, BC will assess specific flood-
prone areas to develop effective mitigation strategies. Given the current climate challenges, effective flood management is
increasingly vital. The South Kohala region, with its distinct geological and hydrological features, faces significant flood risks
that endanger infrastructure, property, and community safety. This study aims to provide a thorough understanding of these
risks and propose practical solutions to safeguard the area from future flood events.
BC brings extensive experience and a forward-thinking approach to water resources management. The team combines
local expertise with advanced modeling methods to deliver results that are both effective and sustainable. The BC team will
analyze the region’s hydrology and hydraulics to pinpoint key areas of concern. Conceptual strategies and AACE Class 5 cost
estimates for targeted flood mitigation measures will be developed. The study will produce data and evaluations that can
inform future Federal Emergency Management Agency flood mapping and Dept. of Public Works long-term budget planning,
ensuring long-term resilience. Additionally, potential funding sources and partnership opportunities to implement the
recommended strategies will be investigated.
The approach addresses immediate flood risks while also establishing a foundation for sustainable, long-term
water management.
The hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the existing conditions within the study area will estimate flood limits and base
flood elevations of the gulches. Flood control alternatives such as retention basins, relief storm sewers, and relief drainage
channels will be evaluated. For each area of concern, up to three conceptual alternatives will be developed, incorporating
elements such as storage areas, flow control outlet structures, and channels or pipes. Modeling results will indicate
estimated reductions in flood water levels and extents realized by the alternatives. After consulting with the client, one
preferred mitigation alternative for each area of concern will be developed into planning-level documents, including plan
layouts, identification of environmental permitting requirements, and construction cost opinions.
BC is preparing a comprehensive strategy to manage runoff and mitigate flooding in the South Kohala region.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) and the Water Research Foundation (WRF)
undertook a vulnerability assessment to identify and evaluate the potential impacts of
climate change on current estimates of groundwater sustainable yield (the chief source
of BWS’s water supply), pipelines and pumping system infrastructure, and strategies to
address the anticipated changes. Aligned with WRF’s Climate Change Strategic Initiative, this
project developed strategies that can be used as a guide for other utilities to evaluate and
plan for the impact of climate change on water quantity, quality, and infrastructure.
BC used an scenario planning approach to evaluate the impacts of climate change and
develop adaptive strategies using an iterative process to promote flexible decision making
in the face of uncertainties and increase an organization’s preparedness. This planning
approach can be implemented for a range of potential changing conditions, including future
climate predictions, water supply demands, and economic development to promote flexibility
to changing circumstances.
Approach. The climate change projections for sea level rise were used to analyze impacts to
BWS’s infrastructure for each of the sea level rise hazards—coastal erosion being the most severe, followed by marine and
groundwater inundation. Microsoft Excel and geographic information system databases were created to summarize individual
asset infrastructure vulnerabilities based on the pipe size and material for each sea level rise scenario.
Forecasted temperature and precipitation data were used to assess impacts to BWS’s groundwater sources from one
general circulation model (CMIP5), two emission scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5), and
two downscaling methods (statistical and dynamical). Increased temperatures and changes to seasonal rainfalls were
used to project future recharge and potential changes in sustainable yield, water use permit allocations, and forecasted
water demands. Water quality vulnerabilities were also assessed to understand how sea level rise could impact salinity in
groundwater aquifers, but not to the same extent as water supply and infrastructure asset vulnerabilities.
Adaptation Strategies. A prioritized list of actions was compiled to address a range of potential changing conditions for
near-, mid-, and long-term implementation. The goal was to develop an iterative and flexible adaptive planning process to
accommodate future uncertainties and identify options and strategies to address potential water supply and
infrastructure impacts.
The frequency and severity of “nuisance” intermittent flooding events were also incorporated as a future milestone for
implementation of sea level rise adaptation strategies as these nuisance events serve as precursors to longer-term, more
significant impacts of sea level rise. Given that 3.2 feet of sea level rise could occur by the end of the century, a mid-century
milestone was linked to implement various options to adapt to high tide flooding associated with projected sea level rise. An
intermediate scenario of nuisance flooding of 24 times per year was recommended as a trigger for the planning, design, and
construction of selected adaptation strategies. At the end of the century, a 6-foot sea level rise planning benchmark was also
incorporated to assist with longer-term sea level rise preparations and adaptation.
An important outcome of this project was the development of a proposed County framework for coordinating multiple
agency efforts associated with climate change mitigation and adaptation. This proposed framework was intended to support
the identification of select pilot areas for which adaptive options can be prioritized and strategically implemented. The
assessment culminated in the development of a proposed Sea Level Rise Action Strategy to serve as a template for future
RELEVANCE TO CONTRACT –Comprehensive potable water utility assessments

implementation of recommended
adaptation options. The strategy
incorporated a qualitative approach for
identifying and assembling planning,
design, and construction measures
into an adaptive plan based upon
existing data and available information.
Each proposed action item was tied
to a specific initiation and completion
time frame and/or recommended
implementation trigger or milestone,
such as the scenario of 1.7 feet of sea
level rise based on nuisance flooding of
24 times per year by 2045.
In addition to establishing triggers,
which need to be constantly updated
and refined based on new information,
target areas need to be selected
for priority application of adaptation
measures. These “pilot” areas, and
the “lessons learned” through the
early implementation of recommended
actions, will help guide future
government and private sector efforts.
These efforts need to be integrated and effectively coordinated to maximize resources, minimize duplication of efforts, and
streamline and overcome existing implementation obstacles or impediments.
Conclusions. This assessment provided a recommended starting point for focused discussions beginning with the proposed
County Framework for Implementation of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies (starting initially with the affected County
agencies), a draft Road Map to Climate Change Resiliency (involving both government agencies, private sector entities,
and stakeholders), and a proposed Sea Level Rise Action Strategy (that prioritizes recommended actions in alignment with
specific triggers and time frames for execution).
The projected consequences of climate change will require continued, vigilant monitoring of climate trends and ongoing
evaluation of projected impacts. This assessment used the best available information to assess climate change
vulnerabilities and develop adaptive strategies. As additional climate change predictions and modeling results become
available, this assessment is intended to be updated periodically (every 5 to 10 years) to reflect the latest data, scientific
knowledge, and lessons learned from other agencies and adaptive strategy implementation.
Project benefits Included:
–A prioritized list of climate change mitigation and adaptation options.
–A proposed County framework for coordination of agency efforts to effectively prepare for future climate change impacts.
–A proposed Sea Level Rise Action Strategy tied to specific actions and time frames for implementation.

BC is preparing the Central Oahu
Watershed Management Plan (COWMP),
one of eight district watershed
management plans that comprise the
Oahu Water Management Plan. The
goal of the COWMP is to formulate an
environmentally holistic, community-
based, and economically viable plan
that provides a balance between the
preservation/management of Oahu’s
watersheds and the sustainable
development and use of groundwater
and surface water supplies.
BC is preparing the COWMP in
coordination with the City and County of
Honolulu, Department of Planning and Permitting and per City Ordinance Chapter 30, Revised Ordinances of Hawaii and the
State Water Code Chapter 174C, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The COWMP has five objectives: promote sustainable watersheds;
protect and enhance water quality and quantity; protect Native Hawaiian rights and traditional customary practices; facilitate
public participation, education, and project implementation; and, meet future water demands at reasonable costs.
BC will assess four future scenarios for Central Oahu: low-, mid-, and high-growth scenarios through 2040 and an ultimate
buildout scenario, to identify projected potable and non-potable water demands for urban and agricultural use. The COWMP
will identify specific Central Oahu water issues, including potential climate change impacts, and projects currently being
planned or implemented, such as watershed management sub-objectives and strategies.
Development of the COWMP will include extensive discussions and consultations with community members and
organizations, landowners, developers, public agencies and officials, and other stakeholders. BC is conducting public
outreach efforts and gathering community input from five neighborhood boards: Pearl City, Waipahu, Wahiawa-Whitmore
Village, Mililani Mauka-Launani Valley, and Mililani-Waipio. Adoption of the COWMP will require neighborhood board
endorsements and subsequent approvals by the State Commission on Water Resource Management and the Honolulu
City Council.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
BC and the Water Research Foundation
developed and released the Blueprint
for One Water, a practical guide for
agencies seeking to manage water
resources holistically and sustainability.
One Water is an integrated planning and
implementation approach to manage
the finite water resources for long-term
resilience and reliability, meeting both
community and ecosystem needs.
This collaboration involved utilities,
regulators, research organizations,
and academia coming together under
BC and Water Research Foundation’s
leadership to establish a roadmap
for integrated water planning and
management.
This project was intended to access the state of science and practical experience in One Water and integrated water
management to develop a blueprint for the practical application of this framework. The main objective of the blueprint was to
integrate planning across multiple water resource sectors including: stormwater, water supply planning, wastewater, reuse,
watershed management, and energy and resource recovery.
Developed to be a resource that other utilities, entities, and policy decision makers could leverage, BC gained input from over
800 water professionals who participated in an international survey, more than 10 one-on-one interviews, and a two-day
international workshop within 35 water professionals.
The blueprint establishes tactical steps, important actions, possible challenges, and key outcomes for each step to develop
an integrated, One Water management plan. The blueprint features lessons learned from early One Water adopters, plus
spotlights on how visionary leaders are successfully applying the concept, along with recommendations for integrating a
multi-stakeholder process. The blueprint includes:
–Critical steps and important actions toward the development of a One Water framework
–Methods for overcoming potential barriers and obstacles
–Key outcomes and milestones for each critical step
–Over a dozen case studies of One Water early adopters

Supporting County of Hawaii’s Past, Present, and Future
For more than 20 years, BC has supported the County of Hawaii’s project/program at Kealakehe WWTP. Our understanding
of Hawaii’s complex ecosystem and the importance of water conservation on the island paired with our extensive experience
with similar projects has allowed us to support your varies initiatives at the Kealakehe WWTP while keeping the County of
Hawaii’s and island’s interests in mind. Some examples of our work at the WWTP:
Effluent Reuse Planning
BC’s first County of Hawaii
project was creating the
Kealakehe WWTP Effluent
Reuse Master Plan report to
develop reuse options such
as irrigation. This project
began BC’s long involvement
at the WWTP.
Upgrades and Facility Plan
BC’s aeration upgrade and
sludge removal project led
to restored and improved
treatment capacity, decreasing
energy consumption, and
extending the life of the facility
while construction methods
preserved the livelihood of the
endangered Hawaiian stilt.
R-1 Recycled Water Project
BC’s treatment system design
would produce the highest
grade of recycled water to be
used for irrigation. Recycling
effluent will expand the County
of Hawaii’s water resources
to enhance potable water
capacity and modernize the
Kealakehe WWTP.
Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) Project
The 10-acre SAT system
is designed to replace the
controversial sump disposal and
result in significant phosphorus
and contaminants of emerging
concern removal. The unique
aspects of the SAT system would
make this the first construction of
its kind in the State of Hawaii and
protect water resources.

Project Management
The industry is evolving in project delivery and service models, technology is advancing at a breakneck pace, and client
needs are changing. BC recognizes that we must be trusted partners to our clients who fully understand their needs and
those of their stakeholders. We look beyond simply meeting project requirements to understand our clients’ emerging
challenges and opportunities and help them achieve their long-term goals.
Effective project management is fundamental to delivering on this commitment. Through fully understanding client needs,
and doing the basics better with consistent, proven management practices, BC is delivering the service and results our
clients deserve.
Schedule and Budget Management
Schedule, budget, and scope are interdependent project
elements. Change to any of these elements will likely impact
others or may have an adverse effect on project quality.
BC schedules and budgets are built around developing
high-quality deliverables that meet client expectations.
This includes carefully defining the required work effort,
confirming the availability of appropriate resources
and providing adequate time for work execution and
quality reviews.
During project scoping our Project Managers (PMs) outline
schedule durations and estimate the level of effort and
budget, which then receives an independent review, setting
the path for successful project delivery. Our PMs manage
schedule and budget during project execution by:
–Using earned-value management to measure
performance and progress in an objective manner
(monthly, at minimum).
–Communicating regularly with the project team to
optimize work efficiency, refine the mix of staff resources,
manage subcontractor work performance, and adjust
other elements of the work effort to align with the
established schedule and budget.
–Communicating regularly with the client and, as
appropriate, stakeholders regarding project progress
and any anticipated or observed issues and corrective
actions to maintain the schedule and budget.
–Collaborating internally with Project Management
Office staff and Subject Matter Experts to verify
corrective actions.
Identify the Risk
–What is the risk?
–What could trigger the risk?
Evaluate the Risk
–What are the potential impacts should the
risk occur (e.g., H&S, schedule, budget,
quality, etc.)?
–What is the probability of the risk occurring
(e.g., rare, unlikely, possible, likely,
frequent, etc.)?
–What is the consequence of the potential impacts (e.g., insignifi cant, minor, moderate, major, catastrophic, etc.)?
–What is the rating (i.e., measure of
probability and consequence) of the
risk (e.g., low, medium, high, very high,
extreme, etc.)?
Mitigate and Manage the Risk
–What mitigation and/or management strategies are planned?
–How are the strategies categorized
(e.g., preventive, contingency, etc.)
–Who is responsible for what actions?
–When should the actions be complete?
Our PMs work with clients to proactively identify and address project risks that could adversely impact their goals.

Areas of Expertise
One Water
One Water is a paradigm for breaking down water sector silos and thinking of water in
a holistic, integrated way. It frames water as one resource—whether it be drinking water,
wastewater, stormwater, reclaimed water, or water in the environment.
BC is passionate about supporting responsible management of our critical water systems.
Utilities and municipalities across the country are being challenged to consider the
multifaceted nature of water in their communities, and BC has partnered with universities,
technical advisory committees, and other regulatory groups to develop solutions for
environmentally sustainable and reliable water resource planning and infrastructure.
One Water is much more than a planning approach, it’s a lens through which we view the
connections between resources, people, projects, and policy, and the actions we take to
leverage these connections.
Thinking about the future of using water, reusing water, and protecting water means getting
creative. One Water represents a new chapter—one rich with fresh dialogue about how we
can look at water in ways we have not talked about before.

Stormwater and Nature-Based Solutions
Stormwater is a key component of the water cycle, including runoff, infiltration, and
groundwater recharge. Good stewardship of stormwater is essential to the protection
of human life and real property. Stormwater management includes flood prevention,
preservation of water quality, groundwater recharge, and instream flows to protect both
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that are leveraged in native cultural practices and
modern life.
BC has a history of helping clients solve water resource issues with cost-effective, science-
based, environmentally beneficial solutions. We have been at the forefront of stormwater
management, regulatory compliance, and water quality restoration since the inception of
stormwater regulations.
BC has developed Master Plans to include a variety of capital project and maintenance
program solutions to manage the integrity and performance of our clients’ stormwater
infrastructure. Master plans are often developed to address multiple objectives, such as total
maximum daily load (TMDL) compliance, flood control, and infrastructure asset management.
Our master plans focus on identifying implementable projects to support our clients’ drainage
and water quality objectives as well as capital investments. We leverage client geographic
information system data, staff input, public surveys, site visits, and workshops to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the system, including its capabilities and deficiencies. We
also use hydraulic and hydrologic modeling and water quality modeling to evaluate system
capacity to help identify multi-benefit solutions that resonate with stakeholders.
Master plans must integrate a wide range of client priorities and disseminate information in
a clear, concise, and implementable plan. Our team develops and costs project and program
alternatives to address capacity, water quality, system condition, and natural resources.
Selection and prioritization of these capital projects and programs are essential to develop a
clear path forward to manage stormwater infrastructure. We often include stormwater funding
analyses with master planning efforts to confirm funding levels are in line with community
objectives and desired levels of service.
BC brings local and national expertise to problem identification, policy development, modeling,
master planning, and design to support your specific stormwater management needs. Our
deep regulatory and technical knowledge, coupled with efficient service, provide solutions
that minimize the cost of stormwater management and compliance and promote sustainable
practices and operations.
Our project approach is to support flexibility and adaptive management to respond to changes
and adjust to an ever-growing body of information. Fundamental to flexible design and
adaption is prioritizing no-regret or low-regret strategies, strengthening interdependent
systems, and pursuing multi-benefit and nature-based solutions.

issue of the 21st century and one of the priority issues of the State of Hawaii.
BC recognizes that climate change presents many challenges, but there are also many
solutions that can be achieved through collaboration. Accelerated sea level rise, changing
precipitation patterns that increase the likelihood of wildfire, drought, and flooding, as well as
greater storm intensities among other climate-related hazards, pose risks to communities,
built infrastructure, and natural environments.
BC collaborates with clients to develop a comprehensive understanding of climate impacts
across the watershed and to explore solutions that promote resilience. Impacts are being
felt now and should be planned for in the future to protect Hawaii’s economy, sustainability,
security, and way of life. To plan for and implement solutions for climate resilience, BC
brings together key stakeholders to collaboratively define goals and conduct climate risk
and vulnerability assessments, while leveraging the best state of science with stakeholder
input. BC analyzes a range of potential impacts and scenarios, existing adaptive capacity,
and community and utility needs to formulate and evaluate solutions and understand
their triggers and sequencing. This enables us to help our clients establish clear, adaptive
pathways and take proactive steps to implement adaptive measures for operations,
infrastructure, and systems that serve our communities.
Staying true to our company mission, BC pursues this work and approach to foster more
resilient, thriving communities. Throughout this journey, BC builds in flexibility to adapt to
future changes and new knowledge, while identifying opportunities to support vulnerable and frontline communities and build
greater climate equity.
