Cassou Road Mainline Replacement Project, D-2397

The Vista Irrigation District is undertaking the Cassou Road Mainline Replacement Project, designated as D-2397, to replace approximately 9,500 linear feet of aging water infrastructure with new PVC pipe throughout an unincorporated area of San Diego County along Cassou Road, Lindy Way, Edwin Lane, and Sunny Vista Lane. The project will install 7,600 linear feet of 8-inch DR14 PVC, 575 linear feet of 6-inch DR-14 PVC, and 1,300 linear feet of 4-inch DR14 PVC, along with associated valves and fittings, to directly substitute equivalent lengths of existing deteriorated lines without expanding system capacity or service area. The work is confined to existing public rights-of-way and the District’s Blanket Easement No. B6, and the project has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15302(c) for the replacement of existing utility facilities within existing corridors. The place of performance is located in California, with all installation, removal, and associated activities occurring on-site at the specified locations. The contract was posted as a forecast on January 12, 2026, following project approval on January 8, 2026, but no solicitation number, contract value, pricing structure, or formal award methodology is provided, indicating the procurement remains in a preliminary phase. No Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses are applicable, as this is a local public agency action governed by state environmental law rather than federal procurement rules. While the Vista Irrigation District is identified as the procuring entity with its administrative office at 1391 Engineer Street, Vista, CA, no formal contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative is designated in the documents. Payment information, invoicing procedures, accounting codes beyond an internal agency identifier (ac292321), and detailed inspection or quality standards are not specified. The point of contact for technical and engineering matters is Randy Whitmann, Engineering Manager, reachable at 760-597-3187. No deadlines, submission formats, evaluation factors, or offeror certifications are outlined, confirming the absence of a formal solicitation or awarded contract at this time.
