Renovation of a water / sewer project in Lakeport, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

For the construction of the Big Valley Rancheria Water Treatment Plant Improvements Project. Located on Big Valley Rancheria in Lakeport, California, the Project generally consists of development of a new water treatment plant site and gravel access road, construction of a new 2,100 square foot water treatment pre-engineered metal building, and installation of a new multi-process drinking water treatment system which will provide drinking water and water for fire suppression to Big Valley Rancheria residents and businesses. In addition, the project will extend Big Valleys existing water distribution system to provide fire and drinking water to BVR's community center. The project also includes construction of a new 260,000 gallon bolted steel water storage tank and furnishment and installation of new water distribution pumps at the new water plant. The water treatment building will contain a large water treatment process room and interior framed rooms, which include an office, laboratory, electrical room, ADA compliant restroom, and a chemical storage room. The 100 gallons per minute water treatment system generally consists of the following unit processes: biological ammonia removal, iron and manganese filtration, ion exchange softening, and aeration for the removal of carbon dioxide and increase in pH for corrosion control purposes. The Project also includes integration of an existing water storage tank, distribution pumps and fire pump located at Big Valley's existing combined water/wastewater plant located approximately 400 feet east of the new treatment plant. See the project drawings and technical specifications for detailed scope of work. The Contractor will be responsible for purchasing and installing the water treatment equipment, which will be supplied as multiple pre-assembled equipment skids. The construction is estimated to cost approximately $4.1 million.
