Solicitation # C2305

The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District is seeking qualified professionals to design a new groundwater production well at the existing Corydon Well site in Wildomar, California, replacing the aging facility while leveraging existing transmission infrastructure to meet growing water demands. This project, funded partially through a U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART grant and district funds, requires a comprehensive engineering and design effort divided into two distinct phases: Phase 1 focuses on civil site design, technical specifications, and line-bid items for drilling the new well and properly abandoning the old one, including full-time on-site construction management and bidding assistance; Phase 2 extends to architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation and controls design for equipping, testing, and commissioning the new wellhead facilities, along with continued engineering support during construction. The successful respondent must demonstrate relevant experience in hydrology and hydraulic modeling, structural and electrical engineering, geotechnical investigation, and underground utility locating, with an emphasis on team qualifications, technical approach, schedule realism, innovation, and cost transparency. Proposals must be submitted via the PlanetBids portal by September 1, 2026, and will be evaluated on a weighted basis prioritizing qualifications and project understanding over cost alone, with the award contingent upon negotiation of a mutually agreeable not-to-exceed budget. Compliance with federal, state, and local regulations is mandatory, including Buy America requirements, American Iron and Steel certification, and adherence to the Department of the Interior’s standard award terms and conditions. The consultant must also satisfy stringent administrative and reporting obligations, including monthly invoicing through the Treasury’s ASAP payment system, maintaining required insurance coverage levels, fulfilling whistleblower and drug-free workplace mandates, and submitting detailed certifications regarding debarment status, lobbying, non-collusion, and executive order compliance. All proposed subconsultants, particularly those certified as DBE, MBE, or WBE, must be documented with full details and justification if not selected. Final designs require professional seals, comprehensive permit documentation, operations plans, and record drawings, with all deliverables subject to review by both the district and federal grant oversight teams to ensure compliance with programmatic and technical standards.
