Planada Community Services District Water Supply Improvements Project

The Planada Community Services District Water Supply Improvements Project involves a comprehensive upgrade to the local water infrastructure, including the installation of approximately 26,590 linear feet of new C900 ductile iron water mains in 16-inch, 8-inch, and 6-inch diameters, and the replacement of 1,120 existing customer meters with new 1-inch Badger E-Series Ultrasonic Meters. The project also entails the development of a new groundwater well, a 750,000-gallon elevated welded carbon-steel storage tank, and a solar photovoltaic system designed to power both the well and storage tank operations. Associated civil works include paving, stormwater and utility installations, architectural coatings, and dust mitigation measures to ensure compliance with environmental and safety standards during construction. The work is located within the Planada Community Services District in Merced County, California, at ZIP code 95365, and all inspection and acceptance activities occur on-site. The project is governed by California-specific regulatory frameworks including CEQA, Title 24 California Energy Code, CALGreen standards, and State Water Board requirements tied to DWSRF funding. While material specifications such as C900 pipe and Badger meters imply adherence to industry best practices, no formal federal or state inspection standards like ASTM or AWWA are explicitly detailed. Environmental mitigation measures, including a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, have been adopted as conditions of project approval, requiring ongoing compliance reporting. The contract is forecasted by the Planada Community Services District, with Alan Vera, District Manager, serving as the point of contact, reachable via phone or email. No formal solicitation number, contract type, or pricing structure is provided, and no line-item cost data, CLINs, or contract value estimates are available in the sourced materials. Payment processing is managed through CSU Stanislaus Financial Services via email and an online portal, with no designated federal payment systems or contracting officer representatives identified. The project references appendices related to environmental evaluations, biological assessments, cultural resources, and confidential tribal consultations, but these do not constitute contractual clauses or procurement requirements. No socioeconomic certifications, UEI or CAGE codes, or offeror representations are included, and the procurement appears to be administered as a state or local initiative without direct federal acquisition regulations applying beyond environmental compliance. The absence of standard FAR sections, contract clauses, and acquisition documentation indicates this is not a federally funded contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulation but rather
