Cooks Reservoir Management System (RMS) C-9550B

The Santa Margarita Water District is advancing improvements to the Cooks Reservoir Management System located at 25702 Calle Ricardo in San Juan Capistrano, California, with a project classified under CEQA Class 1 for Existing Facilities, exempting it from full environmental review. The work includes the installation of a new RMS mixer to enhance water circulation, a chlorine dosing system complete with electrical power and control infrastructure, and a dedicated chemical storage facility supported by a retaining wall system to ensure safe handling of treatment chemicals. The project was formally noticed on January 20, 2026, though the associated environmental documentation was filed and approved on April 22, 2024, with a Notice of Exemption and Certificate of Determination submitted to the Orange County Clerk-Recorder. There is no disclosed contract value, pricing structure, or detailed scope of work beyond the described construction elements, and no standard federal acquisition regulations or contract clauses are referenced, as the documentation stems entirely from state-level environmental compliance procedures rather than a formal federal procurement. The place of performance is strictly limited to the identified site in San Juan Capistrano, with no provisions for deliveries, shipping terms, or alternate performance locations specified. There is no publicly available contract type, period of performance, invoicing mechanism, or payment office details, and no designation of a Contracting Officer’s Representative, Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer has been made public. While Tricia Butler, Chief Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact with a listed phone number and email, her official role in contract administration remains unspecified. No formal solicitation number is assigned beyond a reference to 24-85000351, and no subcontracting, socioeconomic set-asides, size certifications, or unique entity identifiers are included. All submissions must be delivered as hard-copy documents in accordance with CEQA filing protocols, with no electronic options permitted, and there are no evaluation factors, award criteria, or competition parameters outlined. The project proceeds under an administrative exemption and lacks the formal procurement structure associated with federal contracts.
