Sunclipse Well 10 Temporary Treatment Plant

The City of Fullerton is advancing a temporary ion exchange treatment plant at Well 10 located at 1851 Rosslynn Avenue to enhance potable water treatment capacity at an existing facility. This project is classified as a new, small facility and qualifies for a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303, which eliminates the need for full environmental review. The exemption was formally filed with the State Water Resources Control Board and posted by the Orange County Clerk-Recorder on October 30, 2025, following execution on October 22, 2025. The initiative is ministerial in nature, designed to provide immediate water quality improvements without requiring extensive construction or regulatory approvals beyond state compliance protocols. Though the project is listed as a forecast in public systems with a posting date of December 12, 2025, no formal procurement or contract award mechanism is documented, and no contract value, pricing structure, or solicitation number has been established. No federal acquisition regulations or standard contract clauses are applicable, as this is a municipally managed environmental and infrastructure initiative falling outside federal procurement frameworks. The City of Fullerton, as both the lead agency and project proponent, retains full responsibility for oversight, implementation, and compliance. Key administrative contacts include Gar Huang, Associate Engineer, as the primary point of contact. There are no identified contracting officers, COTRs, CORs, or formal invoicing systems like WAWF, nor are there specifications for facility performance, water quality metrics, or technical standards such as EPA or ASTM. Deliverables are limited to the functional deployment of the temporary ion exchange system at the specified site, with no defined period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms. All compliance obligations center on CEQA procedural requirements, including the filing and 30-day posting of the Notice of Exemption, retention of supporting documentation, and payment of a nominal or waived environmental fee. No socioeconomic, small business, or federal contractor certifications apply, as the entity is a public agency and not a commercial contractor. The project's governance is entirely rooted in local regulatory compliance rather than formalized contractual terms.
