The San Miguel Community Services District (District) has prepared this Request for Qualifications/Proposals (RFQ/P) for engineering services for an alternatives analysis, design, and CEQA support for the floodproofing of the District's sanitary sewer lift station, in the community of San Miguel, San Luis Obispo County, California. San Miguel is an unincorporated community in San Luis Obispo County, with approximately 2,820 residents. San Miguel is located approximately 7 miles north of the City of Paso Robles. The San Miguel Community Services District was formed in 2000 combining the San Miguel Fire District, County Service Area 1, San Miguel Sanitary District, and San Miguel Lighting Districts. The District currently provides fire services, street lighting and landscaping, wastewater collection and treatment, potable water production and distribution, and solid waste services. The District is Governed by a Board of five Directors and has a General Manager, Director of Utilities, six admin and Utilities Personnel, a Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief and up to 20 paid on-call firefighters. The majority of operating funds for the District come from user fees and property tax. The District operates one sanitary sewer lift station, which is along the eastern side of Soka Way between Chick Lane and Wimer Way, in San Miguel, CA. The location of the lift station is shown in Attachment A. Heavy storms in January 2023 flooded this location, which is adjacent to the Salinas River, damaging the lift station. The lift station has been repaired but has not been floodproofed to prevent damage from future flood events. The District requests that different floodproofing alternatives be analyzed for the lift station. As part of this effort, it is expected that the selected firm perform hydraulic modeling of the Salinas River and environs to estimate key flood parameters, such as scour velocity and depth. The alternatives analysis may include, but is not limited to, relocating the lift station to a higher elevation or construction of flood walls around the site permitter. The selected firm will then prepare design documents and provide CEQA documentation for the recommended floodproofing alternative. It is anticipated that a Mitigated Negative Declaration will be required, following the Initial Study. The goal of the project is to have bid-ready construction documents and permitting complete to continue with construction of the recommended alternative.
