PFAS Treatment at Arlington Desalter Plant

Western Municipal Water District is undertaking a project to upgrade the PFAS treatment system at the Arlington Desalter Plant in Riverside, California, replacing four aging granular activated carbon vessels with two new ion exchange vessels in the same location, alongside associated piping and civil modifications to concrete pads and pavement. The facility treats water for distribution to the Cities of Norco and Corona, and the upgrade is designed to enhance the removal of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances to meet regulatory standards. The project is located at 11615 Sterling Avenue, Riverside, CA 92503, and all work is to be performed on-site. A categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15303(d) has been approved for this small facility alteration, and a Notice of Exemption has been properly filed by the agency. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, pricing data, or contract value estimates are included, as this is a forecast notice rather than a formal solicitation. The project is managed by the district with Ellie Yazdani, PE, MS, Senior Engineer, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and oversight, though no formal contracting officer representative designation is provided. There is no stated period of performance, delivery schedule, invoicing method, or accounting data, and no socioeconomic or size status certifications are required or included, as the project is a locally administered public works initiative without federal funding or procurement structure. Packaging, marking, inspection criteria, and evaluation factors for award are not specified in the available documentation.
