Comprehensive Coordination and Arc Flash Study Assessment and Update of Power Distribution System

The Orange County Water District in Fountain Valley, California is seeking a vendor to perform a comprehensive power system short-circuit coordination study and arc flash hazard analysis for the electrical distribution system at its campus, including the Groundwater Replenishment System facilities. The agency needs to assess and update its power distribution system to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and system reliability. The requested scope of work covers data aggregation, short circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc-flash hazard analysis, comprehensive reporting, and physical labeling of the equipment. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. While the project involves physical infrastructure at the Fountain Valley campus, the agency permits the performance of the analytical and reporting work to be conducted offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested bidders to determine the financial scope. The agency has scheduled a mandatory pre-bid meeting for June 2, 2026, which bidders must attend to remain eligible for award. Bidders must submit all clarifying questions regarding the project requirements no later than June 16, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the submitted technical approaches and pricing structures.
