Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Repair

The San Diego County Water Authority is undertaking a maintenance initiative to repair deteriorated segments of its Aqueduct System by applying carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) linings to the interior of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe. The work will be conducted in-place following targeted inspections and monitoring to identify sections requiring intervention, with activities limited exclusively to drain-down and internal lining operations without altering the external structure or expanding system capacity. All repairs are classified as maintenance under CEQA Class 1, qualifying for categorical exemption, and are governed by the Water Authority’s internal administrative code. The project spans multiple locations along the aqueduct infrastructure in California, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the field repair sites, though no formal technical standards for material performance, bond strength, or application thickness are specified. The lead point of contact is Sean Paver, Principle Water Resources Specialist, who serves as the primary administrative liaison. There is no defined contract value, solicitation number, pricing structure, or contract type beyond the classification of the notice as a forecast. No packaging, marking, preservation, or invoicing requirements are outlined, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, or contractor representations are included. The scope, while technically specific, is administratively streamlined, relying on agency internal oversight rather than formal solicitation procedures or external compliance mandates.
