Woods A & B Reservoir Management System (RMS) and Safety Upgrades, C-1500T.13

The Santa Margarita Water District is undertaking significant infrastructure upgrades at the Woods A and B Reservoirs located in Coto de Caza, California, under project C-1500T.13, focusing on safety enhancements and system improvements without expanding capacity. The work includes replacing roof access hatches and ladders, installing new hatches for reservoir management system mixers and chlorine dosing equipment, adding or replacing roof vents, implementing roof fall restraint systems, installing electrical power and controls for chlorine dosing, and constructing a dedicated chemical storage facility. All paint touch-up work must be conducted using full containment protocols to ensure environmental compliance. The project is classified as an improvement to existing facilities under California Environmental Quality Act Class 1 Exemption, meaning it is exempt from preparing an environmental impact report and has undergone a certification process confirming no significant environmental impact. The sole point of contact for the project is Tricia Butler, Chief Engineer, who can be reached at the district’s headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita. All activities occur at the project site, with inspections and acceptance handled by the district as the lead agency. No formal solicitation number, contract value, or federal acquisition regulation clauses have been published; this is a forecast notice indicating future procurement intent. Financial details are limited to environmental filing fees, and no payment office, contracting officer, technical representative, or invoicing system has been designated. The project does not involve federal funding, military standards, or procurement mechanisms such as LPTA or trade-off evaluations, and compliance is based solely on state environmental regulations and local public agency protocols.
