Goleta Water District Barger Canyon Culvert Replacement Project

The Goleta Water District Barger Canyon Culvert Replacement Project is a forecast procurement focused on improving stormwater management infrastructure at the Barger Reservoir Access Road in Santa Barbara County, California. The scope of work involves the removal and replacement of an undersized storm drain culvert and the construction of a retaining wall at the culvert inlet to stabilize the approach and protect infrastructure. These improvements are intended to enhance stormwater management and ensure continued operational access to the reservoir during heavy rainfall events. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15302(c), as it involves the replacement of existing utility system facilities with negligible expansion of capacity. Administrative oversight is managed by Daniel Brooks, the Engineering and Infrastructure Manager, and David Matson, the General Manager. As the project is currently in the forecast phase, specific contract values, performance timelines, and detailed evaluation criteria have not yet been established.
