RIX Master Plan

The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department is soliciting qualified engineering firms to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for the RIX Facility, focusing on evaluating its current condition and future needs. The scope of work requires multi-disciplinary engineering expertise to create a technical and strategic framework that ensures sustained facility performance, addresses aging infrastructure, optimizes operations amid fluctuating flow and loading conditions, and maintains compliance with evolving regulatory standards. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the designated Bid Management System, and only bids accompanied by a valid ebid confirmation number with a time stamp will be considered. The bidder bears full responsibility for ensuring their systems are capable of successful submission, their internet connection is stable, and they are proficient in using the bidding platform. No late or improperly submitted bids will be accepted under any circumstances, and no relief will be provided for technical issues beyond the bidder’s control. Assistance for technical problems is available through PlanetBids, while operational inquiries may be directed to the Department’s Contracts Office, though neither entity guarantees resolution before the deadline. The solicitation, identified as RIX Master Plan with solicitation number 1902, was posted on July 23, 2026, with a firm response deadline of August 21, 2026, at 8:30 PM Pacific Time. No bid bond is required. The contract is being procured by the Water Department Finance Department of the City of San Bernardino, located in California, with Sydney Morrison listed as the primary point of contact for all communications. The place of performance is not specified beyond the agency’s jurisdiction, and the procurement is classified under SLED government type with no set aside designation. All submissions must be made via the PlanetBids portal, and no alternative methods of delivery will be accepted. Bidders are advised to verify system compatibility and plan for potential disruptions well in advance of the deadline to avoid disqualification.
