Chinquapin Lift Station Improvements

The City of Carlsbad is soliciting bids for comprehensive improvements at the Chinquapin Lift Station, involving the demolition of existing structures including walls, cover, electrical systems, generator, and wet well top slab, followed by the installation of a new building, 20KW emergency diesel generator with a 53-gallon fuel tank, motor control center, SDGE meter pedestal, and associated conduits. The project requires extensive wet well repairs, including a new top slab and lining, installation of mechanical piping, flow meter, plug valves, and check valves, as well as replacement of the SCADA cabinet and relocation of the irrigation control system and backflow prevention device. Site work encompasses temporary sewer bypassing, excavation support, traffic control, pedestrian detours, and full restoration of asphalt, concrete, and landscaping in compliance with the City’s Landscape Manual and Water Efficient Landscape Regulations. All materials must meet specified standards, including SIKA TOP-122 PLUS for concrete repairs, Greenheck BAF-12.0 louvers, and ACI 318-11 Type 2 mechanical couplers that develop 100% of bar yield strength, with approved equal alternatives permitted where specified. All proposed work must adhere to City of Carlsbad regulations and technical specifications, with inspections and certifications conducted by the Landscape Architect of Record or their designated agent and final acceptance vested in the City. The contractor is required to submit backflow preventer test results to both the City and Carlsbad Municipal Water District, revise landscape plans to avoid utility conflicts, and complete a formal Confirmation of Completion Form for project closeout. The solicitation, issued on July 16, 2026 with a bid deadline of August 11, 2026, is structured around construction drawings and technical keynotes rather than federal acquisition clauses, relying instead on local codes and project-specific submittals. No contract value, pricing data, or formal payment or invoicing procedures are included in the documentation; the place of performance is clearly identified as Carlsbad, California, and the sole named individual with direct responsibility is Tim Jachleswik Jr., Licensed Designer, who has submitted required certifications for responsible charge, water-efficient landscaping, backflow testing, and project completion. The City provides the emergency generator unit itself, and no federal contracting mechanisms such as WAWF, AAC, TAS, ACRA, or COR/COTR appointments are referenced.
