Introduction

Yucaipa Valley Water District (the “District” or ‘YVWD”) is accepting proposals for reservoir

cleaning and inspection at various facility locations. Your firm is invited to submit a proposal to

perform this work.

The sites are located within the City of Yucaipa and Calimesa. The tank descriptions including

diameter, height, hatch size, and capacity for each site are listed in the Proposal Form as

“Attachment C.” This is not a commitment to procure this work, but a request for proposals and

the costs to complete the work. The District will make a determination to proceed based on the

proposal pricing submitted.

For reference, please refer to the enclosed specifications and Proposal Form in the preparation

and submittal of your proposal. The Proposal Form must be submitted as your proposal, and it

must be filled out completely.

All bidders are urged to visit the work sites in order to familiarize themselves with all existing

conditions that may affect the work involved. All proposals shall take into consideration all such

conditions as may affect the work under this contract. The submittal of a proposal automatically

implies that this examination has been done and that the Contractor is completely familiar with

the location, scope, nature, and character of the work and of the equipment and materials needed

for it.

The final date and time for submitting a proposal is December 2, 2025, at 11:00 am to Mike

Kostelecky, Operations Manager, 12770 Second Street, Yucaipa California 92399.

Your proposal envelope must be sealed and clearly marked “2026-2027 Reservoir Cleaning and

Inspection” (include Attachments A, B, C, D, and E).

irregularities and to make an award that is determined by the District to be in the best interest of

the Yucaipa Valley Water District.
