City of San Diego Dam Maintenance Program

The City of San Diego is undertaking minor alterations to Savage Dam, State Dam No. 8-4, also known as Lower Otay Dam, under the supervision of the Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams. The work involves exploratory borings on and adjacent to the dam and its auxiliary spillway, with additional maintenance activities planned for Barrett Dam, including concrete repairs to the bridge deck, vertical piers, and spillway. These activities are part of the broader City of San Diego Dam Maintenance Program, aimed at ensuring structural integrity and compliance with state safety regulations. The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Negative Declaration filed to confirm no significant environmental impact, and all work is subject to oversight by state and local agencies. Performance is located entirely in San Diego County, California, at the designated dam sites, and the solicitation number 2022120663 links to public environmental review documents accessible through the CEGANET portal. No formal contract clauses, cost estimates, or Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements are included in the provided documentation, indicating this is a state-level, non-federal procurement under local administrative procedures. The NAICS code 541380 identifies the work as engineering services, and key contacts include Jeffrey Szymanski of the City of San Diego and Murari Paudel of the Department of Water Resources, though no official Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procuring Contracting Officer is designated. Environmental documentation, including the Notice of Determination and mitigation measures, serves as a primary compliance deliverable, with submission deadlines and public filing dates such as September 30, 2025, October 31, 2025, and December 8, 2025, marking critical regulatory milestones. No pricing, payment details, delivery terms, or contractor representations have been disclosed, and there is no indication of set-asides, socioeconomic categories, or formal evaluation factors. The procurement appears to be driven by safety and environmental compliance rather than competitive bidding with price-based award criteria, with work expected to proceed under state-specific administrative controls without federal acquisition oversight.
