Lompoc_Wastewater_Master_Plan_Volume_I_-_Report.pdf

The document is a Wastewater Master Plan Volume I Report for the City of Lompoc, California, related to a Headworks and Influent Meter Improvements Project at the Regional Wastewater Reclamation Plant. The project involves comprehensive design and engineering services for critical wastewater treatment infrastructure upgrades, including replacing a 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, and all proposals will remain valid for 90 calendar days after the bid opening. The City will award the contract to the most responsive and responsible bidder based on a comprehensive evaluation of technical capabilities and proposed approach.

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, which identified infrastructure upgrade needs. While specific budget details are not definitively stated, previous design reports estimated total project costs ranging from approximately $300,000 to over $41 million for comprehensive upgrades. The current project serves approximately 9,000 sewer connections with a current Average Dry Weather Flow capacity of 5.0 MGD. Compensation for the selected consultant will be based on approved actual time and materials, not to exceed the agreed-upon "Not-to-Exceed Fee", with progress-based payments contingent on task completion. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in Errors and Omissions Professional Insurance, with additional coverage for general liability, automobile liability, and worker's compensation.
