CIP 7495: Berry Street Reservoir Booster Pump No. 7

The City of Brea is advancing Project CIP 7495 to construct a new Booster Pump Station No. 7 and associated building enclosure at the Berry Street Reservoir in Brea, California, with a ZIP code of 92821. The project includes the installation of the booster pump system, protective building enclosure, and all necessary utility relocations, upgrades, and site paving improvements to enhance water pressure reliability without expanding overall system capacity. The work is categorized as a minor facility construction project eligible for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, Class 1, due to its minimal environmental impact. The project was posted as a forecast on September 10, 2025, with a filing deadline of September 4, 2025, indicating planning and environmental documentation are in an advanced stage, though no formal solicitation number or contract value has been disclosed. All work is to be performed on-site at the reservoir location, with final acceptance expected to be conducted by the City of Brea as the lead agency. The City’s Public Works Department, led by Director Michael Ho, is overseeing the project and has retained responsibility for all oversight, inspection, and approval functions, with no designation of federal contracting officers, contracting representative roles, or formal inspection criteria beyond compliance with CEQA and local municipal codes. There is no evidence of federal acquisition regulations being applied, and no contract clauses, evaluation factors, payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or contractor certifications are included in the documentation. Financial information is limited to administrative environmental filing fees, and the estimated contract value remains unspecified. Submissions for environmental compliance were required to be presented in physical form to the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s office, emphasizing a state-level administrative process rather than a federally governed procurement. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction, and the City of Brea operates as a local public agency without any socioeconomic or small business set-asides.
