Description This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of potential sources to privatize the applicable electric, gas, water, and wastewater distribution systems at Defense Depot San Joaquin Sharpe (DDJC-S) and Defense Depot San Joaquin Tracy (DDJC-T). DDJC-Sharpe is a 1,185-acre logistics facility located in the town of Stockton in Central California's San Joaquin Valley, approximately 65 miles south of Sacramento. The mission of DDJC-S is to receive, store, and ship Government-owned supplies and equipment, primarily to military customers in the western U.S. and the Pacific Theater of operations. Supplies and equipment include clothing and textiles, food, medical supplies, construction materials, electrical supplies/components, sonabuoys, aircraft and vehicle tires, and a wide array of secondary repair parts. DDJC-Tracy is a 450-acre logistics facility located in the town of Tracy in Central California's San Joaquin Valley, approximately 65 miles east of San Francisco. The mission of DDJC-T is to receive, store, and ship Government-owned supplies and equipment, primarily to military customers in the western U.S. and the Pacific Theater of operations. Supplies and equipment include clothing and textiles, food, medical supplies, construction materials, electrical supplies/components, sonabuoys, aircraft and vehicle tires, and a wide array of secondary repair parts. DDJC-Sharpe Electrical: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides power to DDJC-S via a single pole, three-phase, 60 kV transmission line that feeds the main substation located on the southeast portion of the Installation. The primary distribution system voltage was recently converted from 4,160 volts to 12.47/7.2kV wye connected system. From the main substation, four 12.47 kV feeder circuits form a series of service loops that provide power throughout the Installation. The distribution system is comprised of a combination of above-ground and underground circuits. Above-ground circuits consist of approximately 42,600 linear feet of 3-phase, 4/0 AWG primary lines; 11,800 linear feet of 3-phase, secondary lines; and 4,650 linear feet of single-phase lines. Under-ground circuits consist of approximately 8,900 linear feet of three-phase, 2/0 AWG primary lines and 2,200 linear feet of three-phase, secondary lines. Both the above-ground and under-ground lines were constructed in 1999. The equipment located in the main substation was installed in the mid to late 1990s. The overall system appears to be in good to excellent condition. DDJC-Sharpe Gas: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides gas to DDJC-S via two meter/regulator stations. At these stations, the gas is reduced from 30 to 5.5 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). DDJC-S piping ranges from 2 to 6 inches in diameter. Piping materials consist of approximately 11,770 linear feet of coated and wrapped steel, 10,210 linear feet of PE, 4,080 linear feet of industrial service black steel, and 480 linear feet of industrial service PE. The majority of the piping was installed in the late 1980s to mid 1990s and is considered to be in good condition. Approximately 8,600 linear feet of the piping was installed in 1968 and is considered to be in poor condition. All valves are considered to be in average condition. DDJC-Sharpe Water: The primary source of water for DDJC-S is four wells located on the Installation. DDJC-S also has an interconnection with the City of Lathrop so they can draw water from the City's system if needed or so water can be transferred from DDJC-S to the City if needed. Each well has a vertical turbine pump that pumps water directly to an arsenic treatment plant prior to entering a 1942 vintage (rehabbed in 1997), 500,000-gallon ground storage reservoir. Water is chlorinated prior to and after the arsenic treatment. The purpose of the ground reservoir is to supply water to the Installation and to provide chlorination contact time. A 1942 vintage (rehabbed in 1992), 75,000-gallon elevated steel storage tank also exists to balance flows and to provide a more stable water pressure. The distribution system piping totals approximately 87,200 linear feet including mains and service connections all of which is ductile iron installed in 1942 except for 3,200 linear feet which is PVC installed in 1991. Pipe sizes range from 3 to 16 inches in diameter. DDJC-Sharpe Wastewater: Domestic wastewater generated at DDJC-S is treated on-site. The wastewater treatment plant was constructed in 1943 and renovated in 1996. The plant provides secondary treatment and is a compact, cast-in-place concrete facility with a design capacity of 380,000 gallons per day. The treatment process consists of a primary clarifier, primary trickling filter, secondary clarifier, secondary trickling filter, anaerobic digester, chlorination system and contact chamber, de-chlorination system, and sludge beds. The effluent from the plant is discharged to an adjacent evaporation/percolation pond. Existing plant flow rates range from 40,000 to 80,000 gallons per day. The wastewater collection piping is 1942 vintage, totals approximately 30,780 linear feet, and ranges in size from 4 to 8 inches in diameter. Seven pump stations are used to convey flows to the wastewater treatment plant via 5,170 linear feet of force main. These stations are duplex stations with pump flows between 150 and 500 gallons per day. Four lift stations were constructed in 1942, one in 1950, one in 1988, and one in 1998. DDJC-Tracy Electrical: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides power to DDJC-T via a single pole, three-phase, 60 kV transmission line that feeds the main substation located on the Installation. The primary distribution system voltage was converted from 4,160 volts to 12.47/7.2 kV wye connected system. From the main substation, three 12.47 kV feeder circuits provide power throughout the Installation. The distribution system is comprised of a combination of above-ground and underground circuits. Above-ground circuits consist of approximately 33,700 linear feet of 3-phase, 4/0 AWG primary lines; 8,700 linear feet of 3-phase, secondary lines; and 3,170 linear feet of single-phase lines. Under-ground circuits consist of approximately 7,130 linear feet of three-phase, 2/0 AWG primary lines. Both the above-ground and under-ground lines were constructed in 2001. The equipment located in the main substation was installed in 1995 and 2001. The overall system appears to be in fair to good condition. DDJC-Tracy Gas: Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides gas to DDJC-T via one meter/regulator station located at the southwest corner of the Installation. At this station, the gas is reduced from 30 to 5.5 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). DDJC-T piping ranges from 1 to 6 inches in diameter. Piping materials consist of approximately 22,000 linear feet of coated and wrapped steel and 5,970 linear feet of 1970 vintage industrial service black steel. The coated and wrapped steel piping is being replaced with PE under an ongoing project that is expected to be completed in July 2007. This ongoing project is also replacing all associated valves. DDJC-Tracy Water: The source of water for DDJC-T is three wells located on the Installation. Each well has a vertical turbine pump that pumps water directly to a 1942 vintage 500,000-gallon ground storage tank (rehabbed in 1997), where it is chlorinated and mixed to control concentrations of manganese, iron, and nitrates. A 1956 vintage (rehabbed in 1992), 250,000-gallon elevated steel storage tank also exists to balance flows and to provide a more stable water pressure. The distribution system piping totals approximately 54,650 linear feet; 44,890 linear feet of asbestos cement installed in 1942 and 1953, 4,720 linear feet of ductile iron installed in 1981, and 5,040 linear feet of PVC installed in 2003. Pipe sizes range from 6 to 16 inches in diameter. DDJC-Tracy Wastewater: Domestic wastewater generated at DDJC-T is treated on-site. The wastewater treatment plant was constructed in 1942. The plant provides secondary treatment with a daily discharge of 30,000 gallons. The treatment process consists of a primary clarifier, two trickling filters, secondary clarifier, anaerobic digester, chlorination chamber, sludge beds and two percolation/evaporation lagoons. The wastewater collection piping totals approximately 30,670 linear feet, with the most common material being vitrified clay. The piping ranges from 6 to 10 inches in diameter. There is one lift station which collects all of the generated wastewater and pumps it to the treatment plant. The station was constructed in 1942 and was upgraded in 2005 with new pumps and a pump control system. A project to replace the lift station with an above-ground, packaged lift station was awarded in Sep 2006 and is expected to be completed in Mar 2007.
