Lompoc_Wastewater_Master_Plan.pdf

This is a Wastewater Master Plan document prepared for the City of Lompoc, California, detailing infrastructure and planning considerations for the Regional Wastewater Reclamation Plant. The document outlines the city's strategic approach to facility improvements and modernization, serving approximately 9,000 sewer connections with a current Average Dry Weather Flow capacity of 5.0 MGD. The Headworks and Influent Meter Improvements Project represents a critical component of this phased modernization effort, requiring comprehensive design and engineering services for replacing the 1974 influent gate and actuator, installing three new bar screens, rehabilitating concrete influent channels, developing a bypass pumping plan, and implementing an odor control system. A mandatory pre-bid job walk is scheduled for May 14, 2025, with proposals due by June 30, 2025, at 3:00 pm. All proposals must remain valid for 90 calendar days after the bid opening date, and the City will award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder based on evaluation of technical capabilities and proposed approach.

Compensation for the selected engineering consultant will be determined on an approved actual time and materials basis, not to exceed an agreed-upon "Not-to-Exceed Fee," with progress-based payments contingent on task completion. The project builds upon previous master planning efforts, including a 2002 master plan by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants and a 2005 design report by Brown and Caldwell, with estimated total project costs for various plant improvements ranging from approximately $300,000 to over $41 million for comprehensive upgrades. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating $1,000,000 in Errors and Omissions Professional Insurance, with additional coverage for general liability, automobile liability, and worker's compensation. The contract does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and the selected consultant will be responsible for creating preliminary and final design documents, construction documents, and an operation and maintenance manual.
