IWWTP Direct Connection 1 & 2

The contract, titled "IWWTP Direct Connection 1 & 2," involves the removal and replacement of two severely deteriorated manholes at the City of Victorville's Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWWTP). These manholes carry critical flows of sanitary sewer bypass, sludge, and excess recycled water to the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority. The replacements will be constructed from polymer concrete, selected for its enhanced durability and corrosion resistance in the high-strength wastewater environment. A significant modification includes redesigning the existing goose-neck discharge connection to allow direct discharge into the new manholes, thereby reducing turbulence and corrosive conditions, which is expected to improve long-term structural reliability. Additionally, the contractor must install submersible stainless steel slide gate assemblies with motorized actuators for two different diameter openings in the Plant Influent Box Manhole to enhance operational control and flow management. Alongside the technical work, the project requires strict adherence to environmental and regulatory standards such as construction and demolition waste recycling, monitored through detailed reporting and tracking of salvaged, recycled, or landfilled materials in compliance with the City of Victorville’s waste management plan. The contract framework includes a formal agreement specifying the contractor’s responsibilities, payment terms, timelines, and dispute resolution. It is subject to California’s public works apprenticeship requirements, mandating compliance with the state's apprenticeship reporting and training standards to support workforce development on the project. The deadline for bid submission is April 9, 2026, and project management and communications are overseen by the City’s Engineering Department, with designated contacts provided for technical and financial queries.
