Fulweiler to Garfield Pipeline Replacement Project

The Fulweiler to Garfield Pipeline Replacement Project, managed by the Placer County Water Agency, involves the replacement of approximately 1,100 linear feet of 8-inch steel treated water main with a new 8-inch water main. The project is located in Auburn, California, specifically spanning Fulweiler Avenue from Sterling Avenue through Highway 49, and extending along Garfield Street to Shirley Street. Work will be conducted within existing Placer County Water Agency and Caltrans utility rights-of-way, primarily within a 20-foot corridor of paved roadway. The scope includes the replacement of services and appurtenances, with minimal ground disturbance and limited vegetation removal or trimming of non-native trees in road shoulders. This project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of August 11, 2025, under NAICS code 237110. It is designated as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Class 2, Section 15302, as it replaces existing public facilities on the same site with substantially the same purpose and capacity. While the project is overseen by the Placer County Water Agency, specific contract details such as the total value, period of performance, and formal evaluation factors for award have not been disclosed. Primary points of contact include Heather Trejo, Environmental Scientist, and Jordan Jakobsen, Associate Engineer.
