Description
The Department of State Hospitals at Atascadero is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct a comprehensive drinking‑water corrosion control study. The contractor must evaluate three treatment options (alkalinity/pH adjustment, calcium‑hardness adjustment, and corrosion‑inhibitor addition), perform field testing (pipe‑rig, metal‑coupon, or partial‑system methods), measure key water‑quality parameters before and after treatment, identify any chemical or physical constraints, assess impacts on other treatment processes, and provide a formal recommendation report to the State Water Resources Control Board. The work must be completed on‑site at the Atascadero State Hospital campus, comply with extensive data‑privacy and security requirements, and be finished by February 1 2027.
• Conduct field‑testing of corrosion‑control treatments and analyze lead, copper, pH, alkalinity, calcium, conductivity, inhibitor residuals, and temperature.
• Document constraints, interaction effects, and provide a data‑driven recommendation for the optimal corrosion‑control treatment.
• Deliver a final written report to DSH‑Atascadero and the State Water Resources Control Board by the February 2027 deadline, while meeting background‑check, TB‑screening, and security‑badge requirements.
