CDCR California Men’s Colony Waste Water Treatment Plant Improvements

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is overseeing the California Men's Colony Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements project located on Tehama Avenue in San Luis Obispo, California. This project involves comprehensive technical upgrades within an already developed area, including the construction of a new screening facility, modifications to the influent pump station, and the implementation of an alkalinity control and chemical feed system. Key technical specifications include replacing a 6mm headworks eliminator fine screen with a 3mm element panel and installing a new filter feed pumping station equipped with two submersible pumps in a below grade wet well. Additionally, the scope covers aeration system improvements and potential upgrades to the waste activated sludge holding tank following a comprehensive inspection. Administratively, the project is managed by the Facility Planning, Construction and Management office of the CDCR, with Peter J Connelly Jr serving as the primary point of contact. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and has been deemed categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1 for existing facilities, as the work involves negligible expansion and is not situated in an environmentally sensitive area. While the technical scope is detailed, specific financial data, contract values, and performance periods were not provided in the available documentation.
