THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

The Sepulveda Feeder Pump Stations project is a major drought‑mitigation initiative to construct two pump stations that reverse flows in the Sepulveda Feeder and deliver 30 cfs of alternative supply (with provisions for future expansion to 160 cfs) from the Common Pool to State Water Project‑dependent areas. Metropolitan selected a joint venture of J.F. Shea Construction Inc./Tetra Tech as the progressive design‑build entity in 2023 under AB 1845, has already authorized Phase 1 design and GMP No. 1 (Venice site construction and Sepulveda Canyon demolition), and reports that construction at Venice is about 24 percent complete with early equipment procurement underway.

What it means for vendors

Metropolitan is in final negotiations on GMP No. 2 for slope remediation and full construction at the Sepulveda Canyon site and plans to seek Board approval in August 2026, with a total program cost of $250–$300 million and completion expected by mid‑2030. For vendors, this reveals the main PDB team and schedule, opening possibilities for specialty subconsulting/subcontracting (geotechnical, tunneling, electrical, controls), long‑lead equipment supply, and future O&M, optimization, and expansion work tied to this critical reliability project.

Background

Project is directly tied to drought mitigation for SWP‑dependent areas and uses progressive design‑build with open‑book accounting and long‑lead procurement strategies.
