CSA 18 Salt and Nutrient Management Plan

The County of San Luis Obispo is seeking qualified engineering and hydrogeological consulting firms to develop a three‑year Salt and Nutrient Management Plan (SNMP) for the CSA 18 Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plan must reduce salt and nutrient loads—especially nitrogen—in treated effluent to meet state water‑quality regulations and protect groundwater, while coordinating with the San Luis Obispo Golf and Country Club’s recycled‑water irrigation program. The contract will be awarded to the firm that best demonstrates technical expertise, relevant experience, and cost‑effectiveness, and will remain in effect for three years with fixed pricing. • Scope includes data collection, salt and nutrient characterization, agronomic uptake calculations, technical memoranda, draft and final SNMP documents, and monthly progress updates. • Deliverables due through September 2027, with a final SNMP submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. • Fixed‑price contract; proposals must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on October 26, 2026. • Evaluation criteria: understanding of scope (25 pts), similar project experience (25 pts), staff qualifications (25 pts), familiarity with state procedures (10 pts), technical ability (15 pts). • Contact: Savannah Perez, Buyer, (805) 781‑5927, [email protected].
