Andreasen Pipeline Extension

The Andreasen Pipeline Extension project involves the installation of approximately 410 linear feet of 24-inch diameter potable water pipeline within the existing public right-of-way along S. Andreasen Drive between Chamblis Ct. and Enterprise St. in Escondido, California. All work will be conducted strictly within paved roadway limits, with no increase in pipeline diameter, and is designed to enhance water delivery, improve water quality, and provide better fire flow capacity. The project has been categorized under CEQA Guidelines § 15282(k) and Public Resources Code § 21080.21, qualifying for a categorical exemption due to its limited scope and location within established public rights-of-way. The Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District is the lead agency responsible for oversight and acceptance, with Shawnele Morelos, Engineering Manager, serving as the primary point of contact. Although the solicitation number 2025-000816 was issued on October 1, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 26, 2025, the contract type remains unspecified and the procurement status is listed as a forecast. No formal contract clauses, pricing line items, contract value, delivery terms, or funding identifiers such as TAS or AAC are present in the available documentation. Administrative fees related to environmental compliance were paid through VitalCheck to San Diego County, but these do not reflect the contract value for construction services. The project’s approval depends on the submission and retention of a completed Notice of Exemption, and all filings were directed to the San Diego County Clerk’s office with a secondary copy to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento. No contractor has been named, and no evaluation factors, inspection standards beyond CEQA exemption criteria, or special contract requirements have been detailed in the public records provided.
