Water Conditioning and Treatment Service Agreement with Aqua-Serv for Riverside County Facilities

Aqua-Serv Engineers, Inc. has been selected to provide water conditioning and treatment services across more than twenty Riverside County facilities under a professional services agreement with an annual not-to-exceed value of $300,000 and a total aggregate ceiling of $1,500,000, with an additional $150,000 available for contingencies such as new site additions, one-time services, and annual Consumer Price Index adjustments. The scope of work includes ongoing maintenance of open and closed-loop systems, cooling towers, boilers, evaporative and shell and tube condensers, with a focus on identifying aging equipment for replacement with modern, energy-efficient, web-based systems featuring remote monitoring via cellular modem. The contractor will also assist in developing a strategic plan for the phased replacement of these systems. Services are performed at numerous county locations including correctional facilities, administrative buildings, libraries, data centers, and public health sites across Riverside County. The agreement is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under Section 15301 (existing facilities) and Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), as no expansion of existing use or significant environmental impacts are anticipated. There is no specified contract term length, but the funding structure suggests a multi-year duration. Inspection and acceptance occur onsite at each facility where services are rendered, with compliance governed by the stated scope and environmental exemptions. No FAR clauses, federal accounting codes, invoicing protocols, or formal contract administration personnel are outlined, indicating this is a local government procurement without federal compliance structures. The contractor is not required to hold specific socioeconomic certifications or provide a UEI or CAGE code, and there are no defined payment offices, COR/COTR assignments, or submission formats for proposals. The contract was awarded following evaluation of responses to RFQ FMARC-00326, with no formal evaluation factors, pricing breakdowns, or delivery schedules published.
