Booster Pump Replacements at Pump Station 89A, 150, 176

The City of Fresno is undertaking improvements to existing pump stations 89A, 150, and 176 to enhance system performance, efficiency, and water quality through the replacement of booster pumps, interconnecting piping, and associated electrical and instrumentation systems. At Pump Station 89A, an additional aeration tank will be constructed to facilitate carbon dioxide removal, improving treated water quality. The work is limited to existing infrastructure with no expansion of capacity and is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Class 1, as it involves maintenance and minor alterations of public facilities. The project was awarded as a fixed-price construction contract to W. M. Lyles Co. based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with a base contract value of $2,538,800 and an additional $229,277 amendment for related work, bringing the total estimated cost to $2,768,077. All performance occurs on-site at the three pump stations located in Fresno, California, within Council District 6, with final acceptance vested in the City of Fresno through its Capital Projects and Public Utilities departments. The contractor is required to comply with the City’s Community Workforce Agreement, a project labor agreement that mandatorily governs wages, workforce conditions, and labor relations on-site. The project is funded through the Water Enterprise Fund under the Fiscal Year 2026 Capital Improvement Budget, with no specified federal funding or military standards applied. Payment details, invoicing systems, accounting codes, and formal contracting officer appointments are not detailed in the documentation, though Justin Chan, PE, serves as the primary point of contact for engineering oversight. No formal FAR clauses, packaging, marking, or preservation requirements were specified, and no socioeconomic certifications, UEI, or CAGE codes were disclosed for the awardee. The contract was processed through the City’s Planet Bids portal, with bids opened publicly in April 2026 and the award finalized by City Council on June 4, 2026. All construction activities must adhere to the City’s Standardized Construction Contract and be approved by a licensed professional engineer prior to acceptance.
