OIivehurst Public Utility District South County Service Area Improvements Project

The project, identified as OPUD South County Service Area Improvements Project with the project number 8753-110, is a wastewater infrastructure initiative led by the Olivehurst Public Utility District (OPUD) and funded by the State Water Resources Control Board, with the City of Wheatland serving as the responsible agency. The scope centers on expanding and modernizing the regional wastewater collection and treatment system to incorporate flows from the City of Wheatland into the existing OPUD Wastewater Treatment Plant, which has unused capacity. The project was originally designed with five components, but Components 3 and 4 have been removed, leaving three active elements: reducing sanitary sewer overflows in historic Olivehurst through targeted infrastructure upgrades including pump station retrofits and pipeline improvements; modifying the existing WWTP to handle increased wet-weather flows and replacing aging equipment; and constructing a new wastewater conveyance system to connect Wheatland’s collection network to OPUD’s system. Environmental compliance is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program implemented to ensure impacts are reduced to less-than-significant levels. The place of performance is the South County Service Area in Olivehurst, Yuba County, California, encompassing all facilities, pipelines, and pump stations involved. Although key stakeholders such as the OPUD General Manager, Wheatland City Engineer, and State Water Board Environmental Scientist are identified as points of contact, no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing data, payment details, or federal acquisition regulations have been specified in the available documentation. The project was approved by the City of Wheatland on November 10, 2025, with financing secured by the State Water Board on June 16, 2016, and solicitation posted on June 17, 2026. No contract value, delivery schedule, inspection criteria beyond CEQA compliance, packaging requirements, or subcontracting provisions have been formally defined, and the procurement is not classified by FAR, size status, or socioeconomic criteria as no offeror data or formal bidding mechanism has been identified.
