Drilling Program Plan -- Embankment, Robert W. Matthews Dam, Dam No. 1013

The California Department of Water Resources is preparing to initiate a drilling program targeting the embankment of Robert W. Matthews Dam, State Dam No. 1013, to conduct a comprehensive geotechnical investigation of the dam structure and its underlying foundation. This effort is part of a broader initiative to assess the integrity and stability of the dam, ensuring its long-term safety and performance under operational and environmental conditions. The work will involve subsurface exploration through borehole drilling and sampling to gather critical data on soil composition, layering, and potential anomalies within the embankment and foundation materials. All activities will be carried out under the direct supervision of the Department of Water Resources, with project oversight managed by Project Engineer Murari Paudel, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the scope, schedule, and technical requirements. The initiative is forecasted to be posted on June 16, 2026, and is located in California, with no specific city or zipcode provided. While no formal solicitation number is currently assigned, the project is intended to support future minor repairs or alterations based on findings from the geotechnical investigation, and all work will be conducted in alignment with state regulatory and safety standards for dam infrastructure.
