Untitled Opportunity

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

The City of San Diego is seeking proposals for the replacement of the Paradise Mesa Standpipe (PMSP), a welded steel tank constructed in 1980. The existing standpipe has significant issues, including water quality degradation, interior corrosion, and seismic deficiencies. The project aims to replace the PMSP with a new 2.5 million-gallon elevated storage tank that will enhance water mixing, stabilize pressure, and improve ventilation. The new tank will also incorporate various features such as washdown piping, water quality monitoring systems, dual risers, and SCADA connectivity. Additional infrastructure improvements include new stormwater routing systems, security enhancements, and site access modifications.
