RE-BID San Joaquin Reservoir Valve Actuator Replacement

Orange County, California is requesting bids for replacement and startup testing of San Joaquin Reservoir outlet valve actuators on August 11, 2026. The project spans five actuators at varying elevations along the east reservoir embankment: two positioned above the waterline and three below, plus associated solenoid valves, flow control valves, and ball valves within the valve control cabinet structure. All valve-cabinet components must be replaced in kind to maintain system compatibility.

Work encompasses both submerged and terrestrial environments, requiring contractors with demonstrated experience in reservoir infrastructure maintenance and capability to execute underwater replacement procedures while managing water levels and maintaining system integrity. Startup testing following installation is a core deliverable to verify proper functionality of all replaced components.

The procurement timeline includes a question period (closing date not specified in the source) and an August 11, 2026 proposal due date. This is a re-bid; the source does not identify the incumbent or initial-bid context. No estimated contract value, contract term, or place-of-performance detail beyond the San Joaquin Reservoir site is stated. Evaluation criteria, set-asides, and preference programs are not identified in the source materials provided.
