Water Reclamation Plant Generator Improvements

The project involves critical upgrades to the electrical systems at the Water Reclamation Plant located at 150 Howard Road in Camarillo, California, with the primary objectives being the replacement of the automatic transfer switch at Plant 1 using an Owner-furnished unit, installation of a new docking station for a portable generator, relocation of the existing portable generator to a newly graded area, and integration of ancillary electrical equipment including a mini power station. All spoils generated during the work must be hauled away, and the entire system must be thoroughly tested and commissioned in accordance with the bid documents and the 2024 Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. This is a federally funded project subject to stringent labor compliance requirements, including adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act and Copeland Act, necessitating submission of a Federal Certificate and weekly certified payroll reports. All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and hold a valid Class A or C-10 contractor’s license. A bid security of 10% of the total bid amount, delivered as a money order, certified check, or surety bond payable to the District, is mandatory along with electronic submission via the PlanetBids portal by the deadline of August 20, 2026. Physical delivery of the bid security to the Public Works Department at 601 Carmen Drive is required within three business days after the deadline. The Camarillo Sanitary District reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to award the contract based on what it determines to be in its best interest, with no explicit evaluation criteria or weighting system published. The place of performance is strictly limited to the WRP site, and while no formal contract type or pricing details are disclosed in the available materials, all work must meet state and federal quality, labor, and reporting standards. No packaging, preservation, or MIL-STD marking requirements are specified, and no information regarding contracting officer or technical representative contacts is provided.
