Castaic Concrete Pads

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is planning to install a 48-foot by 46-foot 6-inch rebar-reinforced concrete pad adjacent to Unit 7 at the Castaic Power Plant in Santa Clarita, California, to support the storage of cargo containers and equipment during an upcoming 230kV circuit breaker replacement. The work involves only minor grading and excavation to a maximum depth of 18 to 24 inches, with no new structures, utilities, or permanent modifications to the facility, and all activities will remain within the existing operational boundary of the power plant. The project has been classified under a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15301(b) for minor alterations to existing facilities, confirming environmental compliance without requiring further environmental review. The place of performance is formally identified as 37700 Templin Highway, Castaic, CA 91384, and inspection and acceptance will occur at this site under LADWP oversight. There is no formal contract value, pricing data, or line-item costs provided, and the procurement is listed as a forecast with no solicitation or contract number assigned. The lead contact for the project is Alexandria Fortaleza, Environmental Specialist, who can be reached at 213-367-0871, with additional point of contact for environmental planning responsibilities held by Jane A. Hauptman and Madie Pash. No formal contract administration roles such as Contracting Officer or COR are specified, and no invoicing procedures, payment office details, or accounting codes are included in the documentation. The project lacks detailed technical specifications, inspection standards, packaging requirements, evaluation criteria, or special contract conditions typically found in full procurement documents, suggesting the current documentation serves primarily as an environmental notice and forecast rather than a binding contractual instrument.
