TRWRP 93 Motor Control Center Replacement

Request for Bids
Bids are being accepted by West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin), for TRWRP 93 Motor Control Center Replacement .

West Basin Municipal Water District is a public agency that provides imported drinking water, recycled water, and conservation programs to 17 cities and nearly one million people in the coastal areas of Los Angeles County.

Torrance Refinery Water Recycling Plant (TRWRP) utilizes two motor control centers (MCCs) to pump water to the Torrance refinery. In 2021, one MCC catastrophically failed and caught fire, resulting in over $180,000 in repair costs and a 50% reduction in water delivery for more than three months. The incident also posed a significant health and safety risk, though fortunately no further damage occurred.

The second MCC, identical in age and model, is estimated to incur emergency response costs of approximately $235,000 if a similar failure occurs. To mitigate this risk and avoid operational disruption, it is deemed prudent to proactively replace the second MCC. Please review the bid specifications (Attachment A) and drawings (Attachment B) for details.
