Goleta Water District Barger Canyon Culvert Replacement Project

The Goleta Water District is planning to replace an undersized storm drain culvert beneath the Barger Reservoir access road in Goleta, California, and construct a retaining wall at the culvert inlet to improve stormwater flow and maintain safe access to the reservoir. The project is identified as a forecast notice with no formal solicitation or contract number, and it is currently in a pre-solicitation phase with no estimated contract value, pricing details, or specified period of performance. All work will occur at the project site located at Barger Reservoir Access Road in Santa Barbara County, with coordinates 34.465864°N, -119.747478°W. There is no indication of a formal contract type, payment terms, invoicing procedures, or accounting codes such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR has been officially designated. The primary point of contact is Daniel Brooks, Engineering & Infrastructure Manager, with additional administrative oversight provided by General Manager David Matson. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15302(c) for replacement of existing utility facilities, indicating it is considered a routine maintenance activity with no significant environmental impact. However, no detailed specifications, inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical references such as ASTM or Caltrans standards are provided in the available documentation. There are no listed attachments, representations from offerors, socioeconomic certifications, or unique entity identifiers, and no formal instructions for proposal submission, deadlines, or evaluation factors have been released, suggesting this is an informational forecast rather than a fully developed procurement document.
