Eastern Sierra Community Service District CY2022 Disaster Water Grants Program

The project under the Eastern Sierra Community Service District CY2022 Disaster Water Grants Program involves the rehabilitation of approximately 32,411 feet of existing sewer main pipeline using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining to mitigate groundwater infiltration and extend the lifespan of aging infrastructure. Concurrently, 94 manholes will be sealed using spray or epoxy coatings cured by an air-dry system, with steam or ultraviolet light curing as optional alternatives only if needed. Temporary groundwater dewatering wells will be installed as necessary in areas with high water tables to facilitate construction. All work is confined to previously disturbed areas within existing easements and rights-of-way in Bishop, California, with no expansion of system capacity or new construction. The project is designed to enhance resilience to storm events and comply with environmental standards under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, which qualifies it for a Class 1(b) categorical exemption. Construction is expected to begin in late 2026 and conclude within approximately 16 weeks in early 2027, subject to delays from seasonal flood irrigation. The Eastern Sierra Community Service District serves as the contracting agency, with Jennifer Krafcheck as the General Manager and Chelsea Cluff as the Project Manager for Engineering. The place of performance is specifically located in Bishop, California, with all materials transported via U.S. Route 395, U.S. Route 6, and State Route 168. Inspection and acceptance take place on-site, with the district retaining oversight responsibility. Compliance with Best Management Practices, erosion and sediment control protocols, and permits from the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board and Caltrans are mandatory. No formal Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing data, contract type, funding amount, or evaluation criteria are specified in the documentation, and federal procurement mechanisms such as WAWF, UEI, CAGE codes, or TAS lines are absent. The project relies on state-level environmental compliance rather than federal contracting structures, and all requirements are centered on technical execution, environmental protection, and adherence to approved mitigation measures, with no mention of subcontracting, socioeconomic set-asides, or contract options.
