Water Treatment Plant Caustic Soda Storage and Feed System Project

The City of Folsom is undertaking a major upgrade to its Water Treatment Plant located at 194 Randall Drive, Folsom, California, with the goal of modernizing the caustic soda storage and feed system. The project involves the complete removal of decommissioned steel tanks and associated piping, demolition of obsolete lime feed lines and an abandoned aqua ammonia tank, and structural modifications to the existing containment wall. New infrastructure includes a dedicated caustic feed tank, an expanded caustic containment area, new caustic feed pumps, and a corresponding feed pipeline. Extensive civil work is also required, such as replacing asphalt concrete pavement and poured concrete surfaces affected by construction activities. The scope integrates full electrical, instrumentation, and controls systems to support safe, automated operation of the new system, with all electrical components required to comply with NEMA enclosure types and NEC hazardous location classifications, including specific requirements for conduit sizing, grounding, sealing of penetrations, and wiring standards. The project is supported by a comprehensive set of 43 technical drawings covering architectural, mechanical, electrical, and structural disciplines, with design finalized in June 2025 under project number WA 2401 and contract number 173-21 23-037. The place of performance is strictly defined as the Folsom water treatment facility, and all work must be completed on-site with no delivery or shipping terms specified. While the contract does not include standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing details, contract value estimates, or formal evaluation factors, the documentation clearly outlines performance expectations tied to technical specifications and installation compliance. Responsibility for inspection, installation, and adherence to standards falls to the contractor, with the City of Folsom’s Utilities Director and Civil Engineer serving as primary points of contact. No socioeconomic set-asides, certifications, or federal procurement identifiers are referenced, indicating this is a local government procurement governed primarily by technical performance criteria rather than federal acquisition protocols.
