This Project combines storm drain and sewer construction work in one construction contract for the purposes of the most efficient and economic delivery of both types of underground construction projects. The storm drain improvements are located on Lampson Avenue and Ranchero Way and include the removal and replacement of existing catch basins, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, access ramps and cross gutters, rehabilitation of existing alleys, adjustment of utility covers to finish surfaces, installation of traffic loop detectors, and other pertinent work. The sewer improvements consist of constructing new replacement sewer lines in Nutwood Street, Imperial Avenue, and Central Avenue.  The improvements include approximately 3,681 linear feet of new replacement extra strength Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) sewer line of various sizes (8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch), installation of approximately 554 linear feet of new replacement 8-inch Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVC) sewer line, construction of twenty one (21) new sewer manholes, removal of twenty (20) existing sewer manholes, and removal and/or abandonment of existing sewer pipes.
