Goleta Water District - San Antonio Blow Off Abandonment

The Goleta Water District is undertaking the removal and capping of two exposed blow-off valves along San Antonio Creek in Santa Barbara County, California, following damage caused by February 2024 storms. These valves, now at risk of failure due to potential flooding or falling trees, pose a threat of uncontrolled water release that could compromise water storage and harm the surrounding environment. The scope of work involves complete decommissioning without any expansion of system capacity, focusing solely on safe removal of the infrastructure and secure closure of the associated pipeline, with site restoration to mitigate future environmental hazards. The project has been classified under a CEQA categorical exemption (Section 15302(c)) for replacement or reconstruction of utility systems without capacity expansion, indicating a low environmental impact determination. The work is being performed by the District on its own infrastructure, with no indication of external contractor involvement or formal procurement process. There is no identified contract value, pricing structure, or financial estimate provided, nor are there any standard federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, solicitation numbers, or formal evaluation criteria included in the documentation. Payment logistics reference a state agency remit-to address, while billing is handled directly by the District, though no formal invoicing method or accounting details like TAS or ACRN are specified. The point of contact for the project is Daniel Brooks, Engineering & Infrastructure Manager, with David Matson listed as General Manager, though neither is formally designated as a Contracting Officer or Technical Representative. No attachments, representations, certifications, or special requirements such as small business classifications, UEI codes, or labor compliance statements are present. Performance is expected to occur at the two precise coordinates along San Antonio Creek, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities resting with the District as the government entity. A signing date of July 30, 2025, is noted, but no formal start or completion dates are established, and submission deadlines or proposal requirements are not defined, confirming the document serves primarily as an environmental and administrative notice rather than a full procurement contract.
