Site work for a water / sewer project in Blythe, California. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Golf Course Water Supply Line Project. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to ensure that his/her/its bid is received by the deadline. Any addenda will be posted on the website. It will be the responsibility of each bidder to obtain the addenda from the website. Each addendum will include an acknowledgment indicating receipt of the addendum. This acknowledgment must be signed and included with the bid for each addendum issued. Bids which do not include the signed acknowledgement for each addendum, if any, may be rejected. The project consists of the installation of approximately 1000' of a 24 water supply line from the head gate located on the A18-CHK check station located at the corner of 4th Street and Defrain to the cistern located at the holding pond on Hole No. 6 of the Blythe Municipal Golf Course. The awarded contractor will identify a viable section of the existing concrete supply line on both ends of the supply system to make their connection. The connection must be industry approved and free from leaks. If no viable section of the existing supply line is found, the contractor must replace the existing supply line in its entirety from the head gate to the cistern. The material used for the pipe will be equivalent to or better than HDPE Pressure Pipe. The supply line will be buried a minimum of 48 from the top of pipe to the finish grade of the field. The contractor will take great care at ensuring that the installation of the supply line is free from low points (bellies) so as to deter settlement of sediment in pipe. The existing pipe will need to be disposed. Disposition of the existing concrete supply line may be done in a pit adjacent to the new supply line buried at a minimum of 60 from top of despised material to top of finish grade. Timing is of the essence. This is the only water supply for the entirety of the golf course and as such the amount of time the water is shut off will be critical. The awarded contractor will submit a plan detailing their construction timeline as well as a water outage timeline to the City of Blythe, Blythe Municipal Golf Course, and the landowner so that the City of Blythe/ Blythe Municipal Golf Course can work to ensure that they have adequate water supply during the outage.
