Cal Am Inactivation of Well 8 and Chlorination Treatment (Project)

The project involves the disconnection and permanent inactivation of Well 8 and its associated chlorination treatment system from the public water supply infrastructure located at 6831 Chevy Chase Way in Sacramento, California, 95823. This action is being undertaken by California American Water Company under the authority of the State Water Resources Control Board, which issued a permit amendment on July 15, 2026, authorizing the modification. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, as it constitutes a minor alteration to an existing facility without increasing its capacity or changing its operational use, thereby avoiding the need for full environmental impact review under CEQA. The State Water Resources Control Board, specifically its Division of Drinking Water, serves as the regulatory overseeing agency, with Austin Peterson, Senior Environmental Scientist and District Engineer, designated as the primary point of contact for technical and regulatory coordination. The contract forecast, posted on July 16, 2026, indicates this is a regulatory and operational change rather than a competitively bid procurement, and no formal contract type, cost estimates, or funding mechanisms are defined in the available documentation. No solicitation number, pricing details, delivery schedules, inspection protocols, or contractual clauses under the Federal Acquisition Regulation are present, reinforcing the nature of this action as a regulatory permit amendment rather than a traditional acquisition. The place of performance is clearly identified, and while a remittance address for the agency is noted as 1001 I Street, 19th Floor, Sacramento, CA 94814, no payment office, invoicing method, accounting codes, or contract administration personnel beyond the point of contact are specified. There are no requirements for special certifications, representations, socioeconomic status disclosures, or key personnel qualifications, and no submission guidelines, proposal formats, or deadlines exist because this is not an open solicitation but a permit-driven compliance action.
