Box 8300, Fountain Valley, CA 92728-8300), until 2:00 p.m. local time on Monday, July 18, at which time the bids will be publicly opened and read aloud for performing all work and furnishing all labor, materials and equipment for: INITIAL EXPANSION OF THE GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM CONTRACT NO. GWRS-2011-01 Any Bid received after 2:00 p.m on the date specified above shall not be considered and shall be returned to the Bidder unopened. The Work is to be done in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents on file in the District office, 18700 Ward Street, Fountain Valley, California, which plans and specifications are designated as above, and which documents are by this reference incorporated herein. PREBID CONFERENCE: A mandatory prebid conference will be held at the District office, 18700 Ward Street, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. All potential bidders, Contractors and other interested parties are required to attend this conference conducted by the District and Engineer. The pre-bid conference will include discussion of construction issues and contract requirements. Optional tours of the project site will follow the pre-bid conference. Any bid submitted by a bidder that is not represented at the prebid conference shall not be considered and shall be returned to the Bidder unopened. SCOPE OF WORK: The proposed WORK is generally described as follows: The existing 70 million gallon per day (mgd) Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) owned and operated by Orange County Water District is to be expanded by 30 mgd to a total production capacity of 100 mgd. Influent diurnal flow variations to OCSD Plant No. 1 result in flows in excess of the GWR System capacity during the daytime hours and flows less than what is required for full capacity production of 100 mgd during the night time hours. The proposed facilities will provide the storage and pumping facilities required to equalize secondary effluent flow into the GWR System allowing a constant 24-hour production of 100 mgd. The Work includes furnishing all labor, materials, tax, equipment, bonds, insurance, and services in strict compliance with the Contract Documents for a complete and operating plant expansion. The Work includes, but shall not be limited to: demolition, site clearing and preparation, and disposal of excavated materials; installation, assembly and connection of new treatment equipment; modification to existing concrete structures and construction of new concrete structures, including deep pile foundation; trenching, hand excavation, sheeting, shoring, and bracing; protection of existing utilities; purchase, installation, assembly, testing, start-up and commissioning of new treatment equipment; installation of a new pump station; steel above ground storage tanks, and concrete metering and valve vaults; extension of existing and installation of new site and interior piping, valves, meters, vaults; lining and coatings; installation of new pipe supports; site restoration, paving, and grading; site security and traffic control; modification to existing and installation of new conduit; wiring; and power and control systems; and integration and upgrade of the new plant control system.

The existing 70 million gallon per day (mgd) Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) owned and operated by Orange County Water District is to be expanded by 30 mgd to a total production capacity of 100 mgd. Influent diurnal flow variations to OCSD Plant No. 1 result in flows in excess of the GWR System capacity during the daytime hours and flows less than what is required for full capacity production of 100 mgd during the night time hours. The proposed facilities will provide the storage and pumping facilities required to equalize secondary effluent flow into the GWR System allowing a constant 24-hour production of 100 mgd.

The Work includes, but shall not be limited to: demolition, site clearing and preparation, and disposal of excavated materials; installation, assembly and connection of new treatment equipment; modification to existing concrete structures and construction of new concrete structures, including deep pile foundation; trenching, hand excavation, sheeting, shoring, and bracing; protection of existing utilities; purchase, installation, assembly, testing, start-up and commissioning of new treatment equipment; installation of a new pump station; steel above ground storage tanks, and concrete metering and valve vaults; extension of existing and installation of new site and interior piping, valves, meters, vaults; lining and coatings; installation of new pipe supports; site restoration, paving, and grading; site security and traffic control; modification to existing and installation of new conduit; wiring; and power and control systems; and integration and upgrade of the new plant control system.

The existing AWPF is divided into reference areas requiring expansion or modification as follows: • Area 100: Plant Wide Facilities • Area 140: Screening Facility • Area 142: Flow Equalization Facilities • Area 150: Main Laboratory • Area 200: Microfiltration (MF) System and associated waste management facilities

and transfer pump station • Area 400: Bulk Chemical Storage, including sodium hypochlorite, threshold inhibitor,

and sulfuric acid. • Area 500: Reverse Osmosis (RO) System • Area 600: Ultraviolet Light (UV) System • Area 710: Decarbonation System • Area 720: RO Flush Feed Pump Station • Area 730: Lime Feed System • Area 750: Sodium Bisulfite System • Area 800: Product/Barrier Pump Station • Area 900: Switchgear Building

In this regard, the District may conduct such investigations as the District deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any Bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications and financial ability of the Bidder, proposed subcontractors, and other persons and organizations to do the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents to the District's satisfaction within the prescribed time; and the District reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to the satisfaction of the District.

If the second lowest responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the District may award the Contract to the third lowest responsible Bidder.
