LRWRP_Design_Report_Chapter_10.pdf

The document LRWRP_Design_Report_Chapter_10.pdf appears to be a design report chapter related to the City of Lompoc's Regional Wastewater Reclamation Plant in Santa Barbara County, California. The project involves the Headworks and Influent Meter Improvements Project, seeking a qualified engineering firm to provide comprehensive design and engineering services for critical wastewater treatment infrastructure upgrades. Specific project requirements include 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. Proposals will remain valid for 90 calendar days after the bid opening, and the contract will be awarded to the most responsive and responsible bidder based on 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 project costs ranging from approximately $300,000 to over $41 million for comprehensive upgrades. The current project is part of a phased approach to modernizing the facility, which serves approximately 9,000 sewer connections and has 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.
