Reservoir 1 Floating Cover Emergency Replacement Project

The El Dorado Irrigation District is undertaking an emergency replacement of the floating cover and liner at Reservoir 1, a 2.8-million-gallon Hypalon-lined reservoir located at the Water Treatment Plant in Pollock Pines, California, due to an unrecoverable leak that compromises drinking water quality and poses a public health risk. The project requires the construction of a 120,000-gallon temporary bypass system, including yard piping modifications and the installation of variable frequency drives at the Moosehall and Sportsman’s pump stations to maintain water service during construction without disruption. All work will occur within the existing facility boundaries during the winter outage period, with completion required by March 2026. The project has been classified as an emergency under California Environmental Quality Act exemptions, permitting expedited implementation without the usual environmental review processes. No formal contract value, pricing details, or competitive bidding process has been disclosed, indicating a likely sole-source or emergency procurement approach. The project’s performance location is clearly defined at the reservoir site in El Dorado County, with delivery and acceptance also occurring on-site. Brian Deason, as Environmental Resources Supervisor, serves as the primary point of contact. Although no standardized Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, evaluation factors, payment offices, invoicing systems, or federal entity identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are present, the agency has affirmed compliance with state-level emergency exemptions and filed required documentation, including a Notice of Exemption and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife No Effect Determination. No packaging, inspection, or quality standards beyond the statutory emergency justification are specified, and no solicitation number or formal contract type has been issued—characterizing this as a forecast notice rather than a fully executed procurement document.
