Old River Pump Station Power System Improvements Project

The Old River Pump Station Power System Improvements Project involves the modernization of critical electrical infrastructure at the substation located at 17521 CA-4, Discovery Bay, CA, on Contra Costa Water District property. Key work includes replacing the existing battery system with a new NiCad system, rehabilitating SF6 gas circuit breakers by installing six modern bushings, upgrading six halogen fixtures to high-efficiency LED lighting, replacing the manual disconnect switch with a motorized version, installing a new HVAC mini-split system in the electrical service building, and making structural reinforcements to the A-frame support structure. The project is scheduled for a two-month construction window between November and December of either 2026 or 2027, during which a three-week power outage will be required, rendering the ORPS intake inoperable for that duration. All equipment staging and work activities are confined to previously disturbed areas such as roads and parking lots on CCWD property, with strict prohibitions against vegetation removal or on-site storage of hazardous materials. The project is exempt from CEQA review under Class 1 and Class 2 categorical exemptions due to its nature as maintenance and replacement of existing utility systems. Environmental compliance is governed by CCWD’s Best Management Practices, which require pre-construction bird surveys and mandatory biological training for all personnel. The place of performance is strictly limited to the ORPS substation site, and inspections and acceptance will occur on-site by the Contra Costa Water District. No formal contract value, pricing structure, evaluation factors, or FAR clauses are specified in the documentation, as this is a forecast notice rather than a formal solicitation. While contact information is provided for Cody Ericksen as the Associate Planner and Silvana Qasim as the Deputy Clerk, no Contracting Officer’s Representative, Procurement Contracting Officer, or formal COR/COTR roles are designated. Equipment expected on-site includes work trucks, forklifts, man-lift bucket trucks, mobile cranes, portable generators, and a mini-excavator or skid-steer. There are no payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing protocols, or solicitation numbers provided, and the contract type is classified as a forecast without a defined delivery or performance schedule beyond the planned timeframe.
