Line MM Pipeline Emergency Water Main Repair

The Rainbow Municipal Water District is undertaking an emergency repair to a 16-inch potable water transmission main that suffered a break, requiring immediate restoration to ensure continued public water supply and public health safety. The repair involves replacing a 16-inch by 20-inch section of cement-mortar-lined and coated (CMLC) steel pipe with a welded steel buttstrap that is also mortar-lined and coated, performed at a specific location on Hwy 76 (Mission Road), approximately 300 feet north of Olive Hill Road in Bonsall, California, 92028. This project qualifies as an emergency action under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15269, which exempted it from full environmental review, leading to the filing of a Notice of Exemption and related documentation with the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. While the project is classified as a forecast and was posted on January 13, 2026, no formal solicitation or contract number has been issued, and no contract value, line item pricing, or payment terms for the repair work itself are provided—only administrative and environmental compliance fees, such as a $50 CEQA filing fee paid via check, are documented. The Rainbow Municipal Water District acts as the lead agency with primary responsibility for inspection and acceptance of the work, and the point of contact for project inquiries is Malik Tamimi, Senior CIP Project Manager. No federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses, contracting officer details, contract administration data, evaluation factors, or commercial invoicing systems such as WAWF or IPP are applicable or referenced, as the documentation reflects a state-level emergency response under CEQA rather than a formal federal procurement process. There is no specification of a contractor, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or corporate representations typical of federal contracts, and the entity is a public agency, not subject to small business or socioeconomic certifications. The only attachments reference environmental determinations and payment receipts, emphasizing regulatory compliance over commercial contractual structure.
