Capistrano Pointe Pressure Reducing Station Replacement and new fence enclosure

The Capistrano Pointe Pressure Reducing Station Replacement and new fence enclosure project, solicitation number C-9640A, is an emergency infrastructure initiative managed by the Santa Margarita Water District. Located at 26585 Camino De Vista in San Juan Capistrano, California, the project involves the critical replacement of severely corroded pressure reducing station piping and valve equipment currently housed within a below-ground vault. Because this facility provides the sole domestic water service to The Palmer Residences, the work is classified as an emergency replacement. The scope includes the installation of new above-ground pressure reducing station equipment and the construction of a fenced and gated enclosure equipped with slats and a roof to ensure both security and visual screening of the new piping. The project site is situated within a Santa Margarita Water District easement on private property. Due to the nature of the work, the Santa Margarita Water District has filed a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, claiming both an Emergency Project status and a Categorical Exemption for existing facilities. Key administrative contacts for the project include Chief Engineer Tricia Butler and Senior Project Engineer Jaime Aguilar. While the technical requirements for the replacement and enclosure are clearly defined to maintain essential water services, specific contract pricing, period of performance, and evaluation factors for award are not detailed in the available documentation.
