Goleta Water District - Corona Reservoir Rehabilitation & Filter Washtrough Replacements

The Goleta Water District is seeking a contractor for the Corona Reservoir Rehabilitation and Filter Washtrough Replacements project located at the Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant in Santa Barbara County. The project focuses on two primary objectives: replacing deteriorated fiberglass filter troughs, which have been in service since 1974, with new stainless steel troughs to ensure uninterrupted water treatment and improved reliability. Additionally, the project involves the rehabilitation of the Corona Reservoir to preserve a critical storage facility. This scope includes removing the deteriorating interior liner, replacing joint sealant, repairing concrete cracking and palling, replacing the entry ladder, and addressing a suspected minor floor leak. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 27, 2026. It has been identified as a categorical exemption under CEQA Article 19, Section 15301 Class 1, as the work involves the rehabilitation of existing deteriorated facilities without expanding capacity. Key administrative contacts for the project include Project Lead Karina Darke and Engineering and Infrastructure Manager Daniel Brooks. The work is essential to prevent potential water quality impacts, safety hazards, or emergency shutdowns caused by continued facility deterioration.
