Lee Lake Wells Project

The Lee Lake Wells Project, managed by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in Lake Elsinore, California, involves the construction of two groundwater production wells with depths up to 140 feet and individual capacities of 400 gallons per minute, along with a centralized 600-gpm granular activated carbon filtration system, a disinfection facility, an infiltration pond, and a booster pump station. The project’s primary objective is to enhance water quality and supply reliability by developing infrastructure to treat and deliver groundwater from local aquifers. The place of performance is clearly defined as Temescal Canyon Road, east of Interstate 15 and approximately 1,000 feet south of Horsethief Canyon Road, within Western Riverside County, with the assessor’s parcel number 393-130-001. Environmental compliance is governed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), evidenced by a Negative Declaration approved by the State Water Resources Control Board, which serves as the responsible agency for oversight. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, special contract requirements, or detailed technical specifications beyond general scope were provided in the available documentation. The procurement was posted on October 9, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 29, 2025, though specific contract type, estimated value, payment terms, accounting codes, or invoicing methods were not disclosed. Contract administration responsibilities are shared between Parag Kalaria, Water Resources Manager at the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, and Chun Huang, District Engineer at the State Water Resources Control Board, though their roles as Contracting Officer, COR, or COTR are not formally designated. No details regarding packaging, labeling, inspection criteria, quality standards, acceptance thresholds, or evaluation factors for award are included in the materials. While the project’s scope and environmental compliance are established, critical components such as the period of performance, delivery schedule, pricing, contractor representations, certifications, and submission format requirements remain unspecified, limiting clarity on procedural and financial obligations for potential offerors.
