BONITA SCHOOL DRINKING WATER IMPROVEMENTS

The Santa Maria‑Bonita School District is seeking bids to replace and upgrade the drinking‑water system serving Bonita Elementary School. The project entails installing a new 2‑inch HDPE potable‑water main totaling approximately 8,100 ft, installing associated 8‑inch steel casing where required, demolishing existing well‑site structures, and replacing all lead service lines with copper piping. The contractor must also perform trenching, back‑filling, pavement restoration, install a full complement of valves and appurtenances, and coordinate extensive utility and traffic‑control plans. Environmental compliance includes dust control, wildlife surveys (red‑legged frog, nesting birds), and archaeological safeguards. • Install 2‑in. HDPE pipe (≈ 8,100 ft) with steel casing, gate valves, blow‑off units, back‑flow preventers, and related appurtenances. • Demolish existing well‑site infrastructure and replace interior and exterior lead service lines with copper. • Perform trenching, HDD, pavement removal/restoration, curbing, sidewalks, and traffic‑control compliance per CA MUTCD and local standards. • Meet stringent environmental and regulatory requirements (CEQA, SBCAPCD dust‑control, wildlife protection, archaeological response).
