BHPP Holding Pond Culvert Connection Repair

The California Department of Water Resources plans to repair a culvert connecting Pond 1 and Pond 2 at the Badger Hill Pumping Plant to address erosion caused by leaks and ensure continued functionality of the ponds and their access roads. Work will involve excavating the damaged area using a backhoe, filling the void with compacted dirt, and using a compaction wheel and water truck as needed to achieve proper density and manage dust. Fill material will be transported via dump truck, and all activities will occur adjacent to the road within the department’s established right-of-way, with staging conducted exclusively on existing dirt roads to minimize environmental disruption. The project is essential for maintaining the integrity of the pond system and safe access to the site. All work is scheduled to take place in California, with Elizabeth Maldonado, Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist), serving as the point of contact for inquiries. The opportunity was posted on July 8, 2026, as a forecast to provide advance notice to potential contractors, though no formal solicitation number or set-aside details are currently available. The project does not specify a NAICS code or organization type, but it remains under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Water Resources and is confined to its property boundaries, requiring compliance with state environmental and operational standards.
