OBJECTIVE

For the Garden Grove Sanitary District (GGSD) Board to award a contract to Tunnelworks Services Inc. for the construction of CP1245000 – Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan Phase I Sewer Main Lining and Spot Repair Projects 3 & 4.

BACKGROUND

The GGSD recently completed the Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan Phase 1, a study that identified a list of replacement and lining projects with spot repairs within the District. Based on this assessment the GGSD proposes sewer lining for 22,030 linear feet of 8-inch diameter and 200 linear feet of 10-inch diameter sanitary sewer gravity piping by UV-cured glass reinforced plastic cured-in-place pipe (GRP-CIPP) liner. The project will also include one open cut point repair, one 4-foot diameter manhole installation, 500 sewer lateral reinstallments and 23 top hat sewer lateral seals at indicated locations. A project location map is attached. This project will improve existing condition of pipes, prevent future damages and prolong the life of the pipe. Repairs will be made at locations where there are defective spots on the pipe.
