Director's Review and Approval - SPR-26-0048

The City of Bakersfield is soliciting a modification to an existing water well at 1316 R Street in Bakersfield, California, to integrate a Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) treatment system in compliance with BMC 17.24.030 and the U.S. EPA’s National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for PFAS. The project aims to ensure the well produces potable water that meets federal safety standards without altering its primary function, with the primary deliverable being a fully operational treatment system certified to consistently meet regulatory limits. The environmental impact of the modification has been formally exempted under CEQA Section 15301, and a certified notice of exemption has been filed as a mandatory component of the proposal submission. All work is to be performed at the specified location, and acceptance of the system will be determined by the City of Bakersfield based on compliance with applicable water quality standards. The solicitation, identified as SPR-26-0048 and posted on June 22, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 19, 2026, is managed by the City’s Development Services Department – Planning and coordinated through Assistant Planner Andrea Murillo. The applicant, Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group, is required to submit the certified exemption document, but no pricing information, contract value, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or detailed performance schedule has been provided. There are no designated contracting officer representatives, no FAR clauses, no special contract requirements beyond environmental compliance, no socioeconomic or small business certifications required, and no formal evaluation factors or award criteria outlined. The project is structured as a forecast with no established contract type, no FOB terms, no packaging or labeling specifications, and no electronic submission system designated, indicating a streamlined, locally governed process focused on regulatory adherence rather than federal procurement compliance.
