Air Release Valve Replacement Program 2024/2025

The San Juan Water District is undertaking a project to replace up to 45 existing 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch air release valves within its Retail Service Area in Granite Bay, Placer County, California. The replacement effort is focused on installing new valves that vent above ground to comply with California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Section 64576, ensuring alignment with state public health and safety standards. All work will occur within existing public rights-of-way and easements, with no expansion of infrastructure or additional surface disturbance. The project is categorized as a routine maintenance activity under CEQA categorical exemptions, specifically sections 15301(d) and 15302(c), due to its minimal environmental impact and limited scope. The performance period spans calendar years 2024 and 2025, with all installations to be completed on-site at the current valve locations. The San Juan Water District serves as both the lead agency and the entity responsible for executing the project, with Mark Hargrove, Senior Engineer, designated as the primary point of contact. No formal contract type, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are specified in the available documentation, indicating this is an internally managed infrastructure update rather than a competitively bid federal procurement. There are no identified subcontracting requirements, socioeconomic set-asides, payment office details, or formal inspection protocols beyond compliance with the above-ground venting regulation. Environmental compliance is confirmed through a Notice of Exemption filed with the Office of Planning & Research and a $50 fee paid to the Placer County Clerk. The project does not involve federal contract administration elements such as a contracting officer, COR/COTR, invoicing systems, or federal representations, and all documentation is centered on state regulatory adherence and local implementation.
