The Plumas County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 30 approved a services agreement with Sherwood Design Engineers LTD for a Round Valley Reservoir Climate Adaptation and MDS scoping project, funded by a FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant (BRIC22-PA01850). The contract was described in the agenda as effective Sept. 30, 2025, with a not'to'exceed amount of $388,400 and no county general fund contribution.
Planning staff (Tracy was noted as absent and attending an American Planning Association conference) brought the item forward; staff said the scoping project will build capacity for the entity that manages the reservoir and support infrastructure work connected to the Greenville area rebuild. The presenter described potential uses of Round Valley Reservoir as a backup drinking water source and for fire suppression, and emphasized the county's role in partnering with the local water/district entity.
A supervisor moved to approve the agreement and another seconded; the motion carried on voice vote. No roll call tally was recorded in the transcript for this item. A board member thanked staff for securing the BRIC funding and noted the project survived federal-level cuts to reach the county.
The board then moved into closed session. Staff said the BRIC agreement is grant-funded under the referenced BRIC award and that no county general funds are being used to pay the contract.
