760 Reservoir Management System Installation

The Santa Margarita Water District is proceeding with the installation of a chlorine residual control system at the 760 Zone 2 Reservoir located at 27271 Calle Delgado in San Juan Capistrano, California, to ensure ongoing compliance with drinking water safety standards by continuously monitoring and maintaining proper chlorine levels. The project will utilize existing infrastructure and buildings on district property, focusing exclusively on equipment replacement and the installation of new conduits necessary for system operation, with no expansion beyond the current property boundary. The initiative is classified under a CEQA categorical exemption as Class 1 for Existing Facilities, which has been formally documented with a Certificate of Determination and Notice of Exemption filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder Department, confirming that no significant environmental impact is anticipated due to the nature of the work being confined to retrofitting an existing facility. The project does not involve a solicitation or formal contract number, nor does it include any specified cost estimates, contract value, payment terms, invoicing systems, or federal acquisition clauses—indicating a direct agency-led implementation rather than a competitive procurement process. Tricia Butler, Chief Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact, and while no formal contracting officer, technical representative, or procurement type is identified, the district itself assumes full responsibility for oversight and acceptance of the completed system. The execution timeline remains undefined in available records, and there are no stated delivery schedules, FOB terms, or packaging requirements. All administrative processes and approvals have been handled internally under state environmental law, with submissions required in physical form only and no digital or electronic filing provisions in place.
