I. INTRODUCTION

The City of Imperial, California (the “City”, “Imperial”), is located in the heart of most urbanized

portions of Imperial County, California, between the cities of Brawley (to the North) and El Centro (to

the South). Imperial was created by the Imperial Land Company and was named by George Chaffey.

The City was plotted in 1902 for home and commercial businesses. Over the years, it became the location

for the home of the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), the California Mid-Winter Fair, and the Imperial

County airport (IPL).

The City of Imperial was incorporated as a City on July 12, 1904. It is a General Law City that operates

under a Council-Manager form of government. The City of Imperial is committed to promoting and

providing for the safety, health, and welfare of its citizens and business community.

The population of the City of Imperial, as of January 2024, is 22,141(CA Department of Finance).

Imperial is a full-service city and encompasses an area of 6.29 square miles.

II. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

The City of Imperial (“City”) is requesting proposals from qualified and experienced consultants to

provide Cross-Connection Control Program Coordinator services.

The Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) took effect July 1, 2024. All public water

systems in California are required to have a certified Cross-Connection Control Specialist coordinate

their cross-connection control program. The requirement is part of the updated CCCPH, which mandates

that all public water systems must have a cross-connection control specialist as a part of their team to

ensure compliance with the new standards and regulations.

Qualified entities are invited to submit written proposals for consideration in accordance with this

request.

The successful Consultant(s) will be required to enter into an agreement with the city, which will include

the requirements of this RFP, as well as other requirements to be specified at a later date. The anticipated

duration of the agreement will be for three (3) years. By submitting a proposal, the Consultant agrees to

all of the terms of this RFP.

Compensation for the on-call, agreements shall be handled through task orders and will be financed

through project specific sources. Note, there is no expectation or guarantee of a total contract amount.

The contract will be regulated according to the provisions of all federal, state and local laws and

ordinances that are applicable. This includes compliance with prevailing wage rates and their payment

in accordance with California Labor Code, Section 1774. All Service Providers and sub-consultant(s)

shall pay all workers not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general

prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work as determined by the Director of the Department of

Industrial Relations, State of California, for the type of work performed and the locality in which the

work is to be performed, pursuant to Sections 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code. Prevailing wage

rates are available on the Internet at: <http://www.dir.ca.gov>. All Service Providers and sub-

consultant(s) shall comply with the registration and qualification requirements pursuant to Sections

1725.5 and 1771.1 of the California Labor Code.

III. PROJECT POSTING AND SCHEDULING

This RFP is posted at the City of Imperial website at the following address: https://cityofimperial.org/

under “Connect > Departments > Public Services > Related Pages > RFP & BID”. Consultants wishing

to propose in response to this RFP must obtain this document from our website. Due to the fact that

anyone can download the RFP and the City has no method for tracking the distribution, the City is not

able to maintain a list of potential consultants and/or proposers and cannot provide individual notification

of amendments or addenda to this RFP.

The City will therefore post any addenda to the RFP on the above-mentioned website. All consultants

shall refer to the website to verify all addenda that have been issued and that they have acknowledged

all such addenda in their proposal.
