The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a water treatment plant project at the Fillmore Fish Hatchery in Ventura County, California. The project requires the installation of a new water treatment plant and its operation for 60 days, with the primary goal of efficiently decreasing the total dissolved solids (TDS) from the well water prior to distribution at a pressure ranging between 50 and 60 psi. Contractors must have an A, B, C-36, or C-55 contractor's license, as well as a T1 or higher water treatment certification. Bids are due by April 9, 2024, at 2:00 PM, and a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for April 2, 2024, at 2:00 PM. CDFW estimates the contract value at $80,000 and expects to award the contract in June 2024, with a proposed start of construction in July 2024.

The bid package includes a 3% mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, and DVBE incentives may apply based on the level of DVBE participation. The project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the California Department of Industrial Relations. The bid package does not provide specific information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for the project is provided by the state, but the exact award value is not disclosed.
