Pier Firewater Line Replacement

The City of Ventura is planning to replace a 1,600-foot deteriorated fire water pipeline located beneath Ventura Pier, which has been damaged by marine erosion and shut down. The existing pipeline running under the center of the pier deck will be fully disassembled and recycled, and a new stainless steel pipeline will be installed along the west edge of the pier deck, adjacent to the handrail. A new wharf hydrant will also be installed to restore full fire protection capacity for the pier. The project is classified under NAICS code 237120 and is being managed by the City of San Buenaventura’s Public Works department, with Ling Liu, Civil Engineer, listed as the primary point of contact. The project qualifies for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption under Class 1a as it involves the repair and replacement of an existing facility without expanding its capacity or changing its function. No formal contract has been issued yet; the current documentation is a forecast with no solicitation number, no stated contract value, and no defined period of performance or delivery schedule. There is no indication of a set-aside, evaluation criteria, or award basis, and no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses or special contract requirements such as security clearances, key personnel requirements, or contract options are present. The place of performance is confirmed as Ventura, California, ZIP 93002. Submission of environmental exemption documentation is required to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento and potentially to the County Clerk in Ventura, but no deadlines, electronic submission methods, or formal proposal formats are specified. No packaging, marking, or invoicing instructions are included, and no accounting or payment details such as TAS, AAC, or WAWF are provided in the materials.
