AI Contract Overview
The Dual Water System Improvement Project involves constructing a new infrastructure system for the Oildale Mutual Water Company to supply non-potable water for landscape and exterior use, thereby conserving treated drinking water for internal purposes. The project includes six water supply wells, two 2.0 million gallon welded steel storage tanks, a booster pump station, and associated pipelines. The wells, located between the Lerdo-Beardsley Canal and Zerker Road, will be drilled to approximately 1,000 feet and equipped with vertical turbine pumps, variable speed drives, and reinforced concrete foundations with steel shade structures and back-up generators. One well will include a Granular Activated Carbon treatment system to remove 1,2,3-TCP. The storage tanks, built to AWWA D100 standards, will rest on concrete ringwalls and be epoxy coated inside and out, located on OMWC property south of Imperial Avenue and north of Flyover Court. Water from the wells will flow via a 36-inch transmission main to the tanks, then be distributed by gravity to surrounding residential areas and via the booster pump station to commercial and industrial zones near Highway 65 and Imperial Avenue. The booster station includes fusion-bonded epoxy-lined steel piping, booster pumps, motors, and a 3,000-gallon hydropneumatic pressure tank with full electrical and SCADA controls. All well sites will be fenced with 6-foot chainlink or masonry walls and surfaced with ¾-inch Class II aggregate. A 36-inch C905 PVC transmission main will extend 8,900 feet west along Imperial Avenue to Highway 99, crossing under the highway, UPRR railroad, and the Lerdo-Beardsley Canal via a 715-foot tunnel boring method using a 48-inch casing. Additionally, a 12-inch potable water main will be extended along Saco Road and crossed under the same obstacles with a 16-inch pipeline and 30-inch casing using the bore and jack method. All crossings require permits from Caltrans, UPRR, and the North Kern Water Storage District. The project must comply with strict environmental controls, including protection of endangered species such as the San Joaquin kit fox and giant kangaroo rat, adherence to CEQA mitigation measures, and use of zinc phosphide for rodent control instead of more toxic alternatives. Contractors must conduct pre-construction wildlife training, use escape ramps in all trenches over two feet
