Bloomfield Pumping Plant Force Main Upgrades

The Bloomfield Pumping Plant Force Main Upgrades project, managed by the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, involves the construction of a new 24-inch diameter HDPE Force Main (FM) No. 1 to replace an existing 15-inch diameter Joint Outfall F Unit 7C FM No. 1. The project scope includes a 2,875-foot alignment spanning Norwalk and Cerritos, California, from 166th Street to Alondra Boulevard. Upon completion, the existing FM No. 2 will serve as the redundant force main, while the old FM No. 1 will be abandoned in place. Additional requirements include replacing all yard piping and appurtenances downstream of the pump discharge header wall spool, installing automated valve actuation and a flow meter, and performing various plant exterior improvements. The project is designated as a forecast under NAICS code 237110 and is overseen by Project Engineer Marvin Holmes. It has been granted environmental exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302 and Public Resources Code Section 21080.21, as it replaces an existing public facility on the same site for the same purpose and is necessary to mitigate an emergency. While administrative filings and corrections were processed through the State Clearinghouse and the Los Angeles County Clerk between July and September 2025, specific contract values, performance schedules, and federal acquisition clauses are not provided in the current documentation.
