Jurupa Valley Animal Services Shelter Cooling Tower Restoration Project

The Jurupa Valley Animal Services Shelter Cooling Tower Restoration Project involves the repair and revitalization of an existing cooling tower at the Western Riverside County Animal Shelter located at 6851 Van Buren Blvd. in Jurupa Valley, California, 92509. The scope of work includes replacing key components such as VersaCross Fill Media, shafts, bearings, sheaves with bushings, vibration switches, motors, spray nozzles, and V-belts, along with adjustments to motor rods to restore the system’s functionality and extend its operational life. This project is solely focused on maintenance and does not constitute an expansion of the shelter’s current services or physical footprint, ensuring that essential public functions—including animal adoptions, licensing, microchipping, spay and neuter services, and vaccinations—continue uninterrupted. The project has been classified under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as exempt from further environmental review under Sections 15301 and 15061(b)(3), confirming that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is managed by Riverside County through its Facilities Management division, with Mike Sullivan, Senior Environmental Planner/Facilities Operations Manager, serving as the primary point of contact. The solicitation number FM08420014301 has been issued, and while the posting date is listed as July 31, 2025, and the exemption was signed on July 15, 2025, no formal contract type, estimated value, payment terms, or detailed performance schedule has been disclosed in the available information. The place of performance is clearly designated as the shelter’s location in Jurupa Valley, with all work conducted on-site, and no FOB terms, invoicing procedures, or federal acquisition regulation clauses apply, as this is a state-led initiative governed by CEQA rather than federal procurement rules. No specific inspection criteria, technical standards, representational certifications, or submission requirements beyond the environmental exemption notice have been provided, indicating a streamlined, locally administered project focused on critical infrastructure maintenance without additional federal compliance obligations.
