City of Redding Pump House 1 Replacement Project

The City of Redding is undertaking the Pump Station 1 Replacement Project to modernize its water diversion infrastructure on the Sacramento River by relocating its licensed point of diversion approximately 0.3 miles upstream, near the Diestelhorst Bridge in Shasta County, California. This initiative involves constructing a new state-of-the-art fish screen, intake, and pumping plant to replace the existing facility, while simultaneously demolishing the old structure and restoring Jenny Creek to an open channel as part of broader environmental mitigation efforts. The project requires amendments to Water Rights Licenses 1849, 2640, and 5677 and is subject to strict regulatory oversight by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and the State Water Resources Control Board under the California Environmental Quality Act. Compliance with CEQA mandates the adoption of a Final Environmental Impact Report, a Mitigation Reporting and Monitoring Plan, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations, all of which have been approved and are publicly accessible at Redding City Hall and online. The project is solicited under number 5A45CR00668, with an issuance date of April 17, 2026, and formal approval granted on October 8, 2025. The City of Redding serves as both the applicant and the contracting entity, with no external federal procurement structure or FAR-compliant contract clauses identified. There is no published contract value, pricing details, or defined period of performance, and no formal evaluation factors, payment instructions, or contracting officer designations are specified, reflecting a locally administered environmental infrastructure initiative rather than a federal acquisition. Key contacts include Amber Kelley, City of Redding’s Environmental Compliance Manager, and Lynn Coster of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, who oversee compliance and coordination. All deliverables are tied to environmental outcomes, including ecological restoration and regulatory adherence, with no conventional commercial or logistical requirements such as packaging, invoicing systems, or delivery terms outlined. The absence of federal procurement elements underscores the project’s reliance on state environmental law and local governance to advance its objectives.
