Bello Reservoir Liner And Cover Replacement Project

The Bello Reservoir Liner and Cover Replacement Project, managed by the City of Pismo Beach, involves the comprehensive rehabilitation of a 470,000-gallon in-ground concrete potable water storage reservoir. The scope of work includes the removal and disposal of the existing floating cover, cleaning and repairing concrete surfaces and joints, and replacing a 12-inch PVC fill pipe. A new system consisting of a conductive underlayment, Enviro Liner 6040 geomembrane liner, and a CSPE floating flexible membrane cover will be installed. The project concludes with electrical liner leak location testing, disinfection, and returning the reservoir to service. Due to the site's location adjacent to Judkins Middle School, strict safety measures for public separation are required, and geomembrane seaming must adhere to specific temperature and wind limitations. The City is seeking both construction management services and a construction contractor. Consultants will be evaluated on a 100-point weighted scale focusing on qualifications, technical competency, and risk management, while the construction award will be based on the base bid among the three lowest bidders. The successful contractor must provide performance, payment, and a 10 percent maintenance bond, and must comply with State Prevailing Wage laws and DIR registration. All materials must be packaged and labeled according to ASTM D7865 standards. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on October 29, 2026, and must be submitted exclusively through the City's electronic bidding platform.
