RP-1 Primary Clarifiers Rehabilitation Project (EN24032)

The Inland Empire Utilities Agency is undertaking the rehabilitation of ten rectangular primary clarifiers at its Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 1 in Ontario, California, under Project EN24032. The scope includes replacing outdated sludge and scum collection systems, repairing internal concrete surfaces, installing new covers and fall protection systems, and upgrading the scum pumping infrastructure. All work will be conducted within the existing facility footprint without expanding capacity or constructing new buildings, ensuring the plant's operational function remains unchanged. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California’s CEQA Guidelines, specifically Section 15302(c), due to its nature as the replacement of existing utility facilities with no increase in capacity, supported by a No Effect Determination from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and an executed Notice of Exemption. The project is administered locally by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, with Pietro Cambiaso, Manager of Compliance and Sustainability, serving as the primary point of contact. No federal acquisition regulations or standard contract clauses apply, as the process is governed by California environmental procedures rather than federal procurement frameworks. While environmental compliance documentation including fee receipts and exemption forms is required for submittal, no contract value, payment terms, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or contractor specifications are detailed in the available information. Submissions for environmental review must be made in paper format to designated state and local offices, with no electronic portal or digital filing option identified. The absence of solicitation numbers, pricing data, evaluation factors, contracting officer details, or FAR clauses confirms that this is a state-local environmental compliance action rather than a formal competitive federal contract procurement. The project is tied to a filing fee receipt dated December 1, 2025, and publicly posted on December 2, 2025, with an approval signature recorded on November 24, 2025.
