Peak Park Water Well Project

The City of Buena Park is advancing the Peak Park Water Well Project, which aims to construct a new municipal water production well capable of delivering up to 3.6 million gallons per day, along with supporting infrastructure including a 12-inch water line along El Coco Way and El Dorado Drive, a 902-foot 30-inch pump-to-waste drain line, and a 2,000-square-foot pump house located on the western edge of the site to accommodate future expansion such as a buried reservoir and water treatment facilities. Access to the well site will be provided through a new off-site driveway connecting to El Coco Way. The project is situated within William Peak Park at 7225 El Dorado Drive, and while the solicitation is posted as a forecast, it signals planning intent for construction activities regulated under California environmental law. All work must align with regional stormwater pollution prevention measures as outlined by the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, requiring implementation of best management practices, spill contingency planning, erosion control, and compliance with hazardous material reporting through the CERS electronic portal. Inspections and regulatory acceptance are managed by Orange County Environmental Health, and compliance with state and local environmental standards is mandatory throughout all phases of design and construction. The project does not currently include a defined contract value, formal delivery schedule, or procurement-specific clauses typical of federal acquisition standards such as FAR sections for evaluation factors, special requirements, or payment terms, as the initiative is being handled at the municipal level with an emphasis on environmental compliance rather than a competitive federal bidding process. Key contacts for coordination include Jason Tran, P.E., Associate Engineer, and Jennifer Marks, Project Manager, who serve as the primary points of communication. While no official solicitation number, contract type, or pricing structure has been established, the project is subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with environmental impact assessments and mitigation measures guiding approval. All submissions related to regulatory compliance must be made electronically via CERS, and any deviations or deficiencies must be addressed within 30 days. The project remains in the planning phase with no formal contract award yet issued.
