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

As of February 14, 2024, project was awarded to T & S Construction Company, Inc, awarded amount is $5,958.087. The project is divided into four segments (Segments 2 - 5) as described below, and includes construction of pipeline segments between the City of Fort Bragg's water treatment plant at the intersection of Sherwood Road and Monsen Way, and Forest Road 450 in Jackson Demonstration State Forest. It also includes construction of a new pump station and force main at Newman Reservoir. Segment 2. Pipeline installation associated with this segment will take place between the City of Fort Bragg's water treatment plant at the intersection of Sherwood Road and Monsen Way, and the norther Noyo River floodplain, primarily along a narrow access road bench containing the City's existing raw water pipeline. It also includes a trench crossing of Sherwood Road and work within residential roads in a subdivision south of Sherwood Road. Work will also take place within the water treatment plant site itself. The southerly portion of the work is located within the Coastal Zone. Segment 3. Pipeline installation associated with this segment will take place from the Georgia Pacific Haul Road east of its bridge crossing of Newman Creek to a pipeline connection adjacent to the City's Summers Lane Reservoir, primarily via existing paths, trails and former log skids up the slopes of and along the top of the western side of Newman Creek Gorge. Segment 3 also includes the construction of a pump station adjacent to the Newman Reservoir, supply and installation of pumps, valves and pipelines in a timber building, a retaining wall, site grading and improvement works, a separate electrical and control equipment compound and a force main to connect the pump station to the new pipeline adjacent to Summers Lane Reservoir. The majority of the pipeline is located within the Coastal Zone, but not the pump station or force main. Segment 4. Pipeline installation associated with this segment will take place between the existing raw water main just north of State Highway 20 at Dwyer Lane to a connection with the existing raw water main north of Covington Creek. This segment includes a jack-and-bore crossing of State Highway 20 and trench construction along Dwyer Lane in residential subdivision along a gravel road. Part of the segment includes trench construction in heavily wooded and steep terrain within Jackson Demonstration State Forest (JDSF) between the subdivision and Covington Creek. Segment 5. Pipeline installation associated with this segment will take place between the existing raw water main at Forest Road 450, located within JDSF, and the existing raw water main located along the east side of Covington Creek just above its confluence with Hare Creek. Trench construction will include construction in paths, trails and former log skids, together with steep, heavily-wooded slopes. Segment 5 also includes a trenched construction crossing of Hare Creek with the new pipe placed in a casing. The Hare Creek crossing is subject to significant environmental permit constraints and controls, impacting time of year for construction, construction staging and sequencing, creek flow diversion, allowable construction methods, surface water runoff controls, and spoil storage and disposal.
