South County Regional Center Cooling Tower

The project at the South County Regional Center in Chula Vista, California, entails the comprehensive rebuilding and restoration of damaged critical components within an existing cooling tower system. Work includes replacing fans, gearboxes, pumps, variable frequency drives, catch basins, and corroded parts, as well as repairing the blowdown system, condenser water piping, and high-voltage fuse assemblies. A critical requirement is the replacement of fan shaft hubs and blades for each tower cell to ensure full operational integrity. All construction activities must occur exclusively after regular business hours or on weekends to prevent disruption to facility operations. The project site is located at 590 Third Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91910, with completion expected under a categorical exemption under California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which confirms that the work involves rehabilitation of an existing facility without expansion or significant environmental impact. The procurement is administered by the County of San Diego’s Department of General Services, with Marcus Lubich serving as the designated Project Manager for coordination and oversight. While environmental compliance has been formally established through CEQA exemptions and documented approvals, there is no publicly available contract number, solicitation identifier, pricing data, clause references under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, or formal evaluation criteria for award. No invoice submission method, payment office details, accounting codes, or contracting officer authority designations are specified. The absence of line-item pricing, contract type definition, delivery schedules, or technical specifications beyond the scope of work indicates that this project may be procured through a non-competitive or internal mechanism, with primary emphasis placed on environmental approval and operational constraints rather than traditional federal procurement formalities. All activities are expected to result in a fully restored, reliably operational cooling tower with minimal impact on daily facility function.
