Well 20A Construction

The City of Atwater is undertaking the construction of a replacement potable water well, designated Well 20A, at the same location where Well 20 previously failed. The new well will be drilled to match the capacity of the original well and will be integrated into the city’s public water distribution system. A critical component of the project is the installation of a granular activated carbon treatment system to effectively remove 1,2,3-trichloropropane, a contaminant requiring targeted mitigation to meet state potable water standards. Following completion, the abandoned Well 20 will be fully decommissioned and physically destroyed in compliance with regulatory requirements. The project has been authorized under a Class 2 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, indicating it qualifies as a routine replacement activity with minimal environmental impact. The State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water, serves as the approving and oversight agency, with the City of Atwater acting as the project applicant and responsible party. There is no publicly disclosed contract value, pricing structure, or detailed financial breakdown, and no federal procurement clauses or standard FAR provisions apply, as this is a state-level municipal infrastructure project governed by California regulatory frameworks rather than federal acquisition regulations. The procurement is classified as a forecast with no assigned solicitation number, and no formal bidding process details, evaluation factors, or award methodology are provided in the available documentation. The place of performance is clearly identified as 709 Rancho Vista Dr., Atwater, California, 95301, and inspections and acceptance will occur on-site, with final approval resting with the State Water Resources Control Board. Point of contact for technical oversight is the District Engineer at the State Water Board, while the City of Atwater’s Public Works Director serves as a secondary liaison. No socioeconomic set-asides, small business certifications, unique entity identifiers, or federal invoicing systems are referenced, and the project proceeds under a simplified state-permitting process without complex contractual stipulations for packaging, delivery terms, or performance incentives.
