San Antonio Water Company (SAWCO) Headquarters Project

The City of Upland is undertaking the construction of a new headquarters facility for the San Antonio Water Company (SAWCO) at 400 East 20th Street in Upland, California, as part of a comprehensive development that includes a General Plan Amendment and rezone. The project involves building a 3,698 square-foot headquarters structure alongside a 4,066 square-foot maintenance building, a designated maintenance yard, paved driveways, parking areas, a solar cover, landscaping, and associated utility upgrades. The existing water storage tank, pump station, and signal buildings and tower will remain operational and unchanged. All construction activities adhere to strict environmental standards including the CASQA New Development BMP Handbook, MS4 Permit requirements, the Clean Water Act, and the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), with an emphasis on Low Impact Development practices such as bioretention, infiltration, and source control measures. A Water Quality Management Plan has been certified to ensure stormwater compliance and long-term maintenance of best management practices, with obligations extending to future property owners under Regional Water Quality Control Board Order No. R8-2010-0036 and San Bernardino County’s NPDES stormwater program. The construction schedule is segmented into key phases beginning with site preparation and grading in April 2025, followed by building construction stretching through August 2026. Environmental compliance is overseen jointly by the City of Upland as the lead agency and the California Environmental Protection Agency’s CUPA, with inspections and sample acceptance occurring on-site at the project location. All samples must be preserved and transported at temperatures between 0.0°C and 6.0°C, with labeling protocols strictly matching Chain of Custody records. While procurement details including contract value, pricing line items, and formal contract types such as FFP or IDIQ are not disclosed, the notice is classified as a forecast posted on January 20, 2026, with an issue date consistent with the Notice of Determination from January 15, 2026. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, FAR sections, or federal procurement identifiers like UEI, CAGE, TAS, or AAC are applicable, as this is a local municipal initiative with no federal funding or contracting mechanism indicated. Key points of contact include Joshua Winter, Senior Planner for the City of Upland, and Brian C. Lee, General Manager of SAWCO, who serve as primary administrative and operational liaisons
