About this file
This Scope of Work document outlines the design and construction requirements for the City of Thousand Oaks to establish a microgrid system at the Lang Ranch Pump Station located at 2237 Peak Place, Thousand Oaks, California. The project requires the successful contractor to provide comprehensive design services (civil, structural, and electrical), procure all necessary equipment including a minimum 200 kW Caterpillar C-9 diesel generator (or equivalent), a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with minimum 500 kWh usable capacity, new switchboards, meters, data acquisition systems, and controls hardware and software. The contractor must integrate these components into a seamless microgrid that enables off-grid autonomous operation during utility outages while maintaining the facility's approximately 100 kW critical pumping load for minimum 48-hour continuous operation. Additional scope includes SCADA integration with the City's existing Ignition system, remote internet-based monitoring capabilities, Factory Acceptance Testing, commissioning, operator training, and one year of operations and maintenance with options for three additional years. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for December 2, 2025, at the project site, with proposal submissions due by January 8, 2026, at 3:00 pm. The project is anticipated to begin in March 2026 with completion expected by March 2027.
The contractor bears responsibility for all permitting, including building, electrical, grading, and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District permits, as well as coordination with Southern California Edison for design approvals, interconnection compliance with Rule 21, and all associated utility fees. The contractor must maintain continuous facility operations throughout the construction period and limit electrical system shutdowns to maximum four-hour intervals with minimum two-weeks advance notice. Design deliverables must comply with all current local, state, and national codes, and the contractor is responsible for geotechnical investigations, boundary and topographical surveys, subsurface utility engineering, load analysis, fire hardening assessments, and comprehensive quality assurance and quality control procedures. The City will reimburse all electricity usage and cover building and safety permit fees, while the contractor assumes all other costs. The project is partially funded by a FEMA grant and qualifies for potential clean energy tax benefits under the Inflation Reduction Act offering up to 30 percent credits (or 40 percent with energy communities bonus) contingent on meeting prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.

ATTACHMENT B – SCOPE OF WORK
CI 5702 – POWER BACKUP AT LANG RANCH PUMP STATION
General
This project will result in providing a microgrid integrating a new Caterpillar C-9 diesel generator (or equivalent) and a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) which shall be integrated into the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system with the existing electrical infrastructure at the Lang Ranch Pump Station located at 2237 Peak Place, Thousand Oaks, CA 91326 (Attachment A – Vicinity and Location Map). The microgrid shall enable off-grid autonomous operation of the facility during utility power outages while providing operational reliability for critical water infrastructure. The successful Contractor shall provide design, engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of the BESS, generator, switchboards, meters, data acquisition systems, electrical infrastructure, controls hardware and software, and monitoring software.
The Lang Ranch Pump Station is currently supplied by Southern California Edison (SCE) through the existing service connection and main switchboard. The pump station operates critical pumping equipment (approximately 100kW load) that requires a minimum 48-hour continuous operation to maintain reservoir operations. Currently, when utility power is unavailable, a portable generator is deployed to maintain operations.
