Force Main Replacement San Rafael

The City of San Leandro is preparing to replace a 700-foot segment of aging 6-inch diameter cast iron force main that conveys wastewater from the San Rafael Lift Station to its discharge point on Sybil Avenue, servicing approximately 100 properties. The existing pipe has severely deteriorated due to corrosion and is no longer functional, requiring complete replacement to ensure reliable wastewater conveyance within the existing right-of-way without altering alignment or service capacity. The project is categorized as a minor infrastructure repair under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301(C1), exempting it from full environmental review, and all necessary filings have been submitted to Alameda County with required documentation including a certified exemption finding. The project is listed as a forecast, indicating it is in the pre-solicitation phase, and no formal solicitation number, contract value, or pricing details are available. The City’s Engineering & Transportation Department is the procuring agency, with Iman M. Fawzy, Assistant Engineer, serving as the primary point of contact for project inquiries. All submissions must be mailed or delivered in person by August 19, 2025, with five hard-copy documents required and no electronic submissions accepted. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a municipal project governed by California environmental and administrative procedures, and there are no specified contract types, delivery terms, inspection standards, or contractor certifications beyond environmental compliance. Payment for filing fees is directed to the Alameda County Clerk, though no details regarding payment for actual construction work or contract disbursement have been provided.
