Advanced Water Purification Facility Switchgear Replacement Project

The Advanced Water Purification Facility Switchgear Replacement Project, managed by Monterey One Water in Marina, California, encompasses the complete replacement of existing electrical infrastructure at the Regional Treatment Plant located at 14811 Del Monte Blvd, ZIP 93933. Key activities include grading, erosion control, installation of junction boxes, conduits, electrical cables and wires, asphalt, and concrete, alongside the integration of a new 21 kilovolt switchgear system. The project requires electrical connections to three utility transmission systems: M1W, PG&E, and ReGen Electric, and includes full startup and commissioning of the new medium voltage switchgear. The work is classified as routine maintenance under California’s Public Resources Code, qualifying for a Class 1 categorical exemption under Section 15301, and no expansion of facility use is permitted. The project has no publicly disclosed contract value, pricing structure, or formal contract type, and no solicitation number is assigned. Submission of a certified exemption finding and a filed Notice of Exemption are the only required documents, with a deadline of November 25, 2025, and physical mailing to Sacramento as the sole submission method. The primary point of contact is Alison Imamura, Principal Engineer, who serves as the lead agency representative. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, packaging or marking specifications, inspection protocols, or acceptance criteria are detailed in the available documentation. There are no assigned accounting codes, invoicing procedures, contracting officer or technical representative designations, or requirements for security clearances, key personnel, organizational conflict of interest disclosures, or options. The project does not reference any military standards, bar-coding systems, or specific electrical codes such as NEC or IEEE, and no socioeconomic, small business, or unique entity identifiers for potential offerors are provided. The absence of comprehensive contract administration data, pricing information, or performance schedules suggests this procurement may be treated as a minimal risk, exempted public works action with reduced procedural formality. The facility’s operational continuity and regulatory compliance with health, safety, and reliability standards remain central to the project’s objectives.
