About this award
On September 30, 2023, the International Boundary and Water Commission U.S.-Mexico (IBWC) awarded a $3.5 million definitive contract to Veolia Water West Operating Services Inc. for emergency repairs at the South Bay International Wastewater Treatment Plant (SBIWTP) in San Diego, California. The contract, which carries a cost-plus-no-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation, was issued as a letter contract to address critical infrastructure damage resulting from Tropical Storm Hilary. The work encompasses the emergency replacement of Waste Activated Sludge Pumps, Activated Sludge Tank Intermediate Mixed Liquor Pumps, and non-potable water pumps—repairs deemed essential to prevent significant sewage discharge into the Tijuana River and Pacific Ocean and associated public health risks. The contract is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025.
As the existing Operation and Maintenance Contractor for SBIWTP, Veolia was selected based on its demonstrated expertise and ability to expedite critical repairs at the facility. The award represents part of a broader relationship between Veolia and the IBWC, with the contractor having received multiple contracts totaling approximately $86 million between 2020 and 2025 for comprehensive wastewater treatment plant operations and emergency infrastructure projects. Cost risk mitigation controls were implemented throughout the contract, including requirements for competitive quotes when procuring replacement parts and opportunities for small business subcontracting where feasible.
