Middle Chiquita A and B Reservoir Management System (RMS) & Safety Upgrades, C-1767A.01

The Santa Margarita Water District is undertaking improvements to the Middle Chiquita A and B Reservoir Management System located at 28213 Esencia Dr, Rancho Mission Viejo, California, under project identifier C-1767A.01, with work focused on safety enhancements and environmental compliance. The scope includes installation of new hatches for RMS mixers and chlorine dosing systems, roof vents to facilitate filling and drainage, construction of a dedicated chemical storage facility, implementation of roof fall restraint systems for worker safety, and surface paint touch-ups performed under full containment to prevent any environmental release. All activities are categorized as exempt under CEQA Section 15301 as minor alterations to existing facilities with no significant environmental impact, and the project has been formally documented through a Certificate of Determination and Notice of Exemption filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder. The work is being executed directly by the district without a formal procurement or contractor engagement, and no contract value, pricing structure, or acquisition vehicle has been identified. The only designated point of contact is Tricia Butler, Chief Engineer, who serves as the lead agency representative for all project-related inquiries. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or standard procurement mechanisms such as FAR parts, CLINs, or solicitation numbers are applicable, as this is a state-level environmental compliance project funded and managed entirely by a public water district. There are no designated contracting officers, CORs, COTRs, or payment office details beyond general agency contact information and accepted payment methods for associated filing fees—cash, credit, or check. No federal identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic certifications, or labor compliance requirements like Davis-Bacon are triggered, and the project does not involve federal funding or oversight. Deliverables are performance-based and site-specific, with inspection and acceptance handled by the district at the project location. Submission of environmental documentation requires physical filing with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder and possibly a secondary submission to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, with no electronic portal or digital submission method supported. There is no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, as the project is internally managed under CEQA exemptions rather than a formal contract award process.
