In accordance with plans and specifications prepared by Domenichelli and Associates the Work includes the furnishing of all labor, materials, tax, equipment and services for the construction and completion of the Lower Banvard Canal Pipeline Replacement Project. This work consists of excavating and erecting two access pits, one on either side of Interstate 80 (I-80) at Caltrans Mile Post PLA 14.956 near Newcastle, Ca. The pits will allow access for the removal of approximately 240-feet of failing 20-inch welded steel pipe that is that is installed within a 30-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). The pits will also be used to install new 20-inch C905 fused PVC pipe within the existing 30-inch RCP. The work will also include the removal of approximately 270-feet of existing non-encased welded steel pipe that transitions the southern road embankment transitioning both Caltrans Right-of-Way (ROW) and private property. All construction activity within Caltrans ROW on both the north and south side of I-80 shall occur within Placer County Water Agency's (PCWA) 15-foot easement. All construction work beyond the Caltrans ROW shall occur within PCWA's continuing 15-foot easement and the temporary construction easements agreed to with the property owners and defined in the right-of-entry agreements. Access to construct the southern pit and both remove the existing 20-inch steel pipe and install new 20-inch steel pipe on the south of I-80 will require the contractor to install vertical shoring and excavate an access ramp to the shoulder of I-80. All work within Caltrans ROW shall not exceed the 15-foot PCWA easement boundaries shown on the plans. The Work include installing temporary bypass systems on the north side of I-80.
