City Council - 12/2/2025 - Agenda Item N1 - Agreement 32600204 with Filanc For Primary Clarikfiers

The City Council of Oxnard discussed and approved a significant wastewater infrastructure project focused on the primary clarifiers and activated sludge tank improvements at the city's water resource recovery facility. The project, with a total budget authorization of approximately $56.2 million, includes a contract with the lowest responsive bidder, Felon, for $46.8 million, plus a 10% contingency. The improvements aim to replace aging mechanical and structural components, update aeration systems, and extend the facility's useful life by 25 to 30 years. Funding sources include the wastewater bond state revolving fund (SRF), wastewater capital fund, and wastewater operating fund, with budget appropriations and transfers detailed for multiple related projects. The project timeline is set from winter 2025 through winter 2027, with considerations for contractor coordination and compliance with SRF funding requirements, including disadvantaged business enterprise participation.
