City of Bishop, CA
Sewer Trunk Line Preliminary Report
The Problem:
The City of Bishop (City) aimed to replace the existing sewer trunk line that transported raw wastewater from within the City to the Plant. The goal of this replacement project was to upgrade the aging infrastructure, some parts of which are over 60 years old, and to fix existing issues such as sediment buildup in the pipeline caused by flat slopes, accommodate upgrades at the headworks, resolve potential easement discrepancies and address the exposed concrete-encased section of the pipeline where it crosses the Bishop Creek Canal.
The Solution:
A Preliminary Engineering Report was prepared, which evaluated alternatives and recommended a preferred alternative.
The Results:
This report was completed and was expected to proceed to the second phase, which is Environmental Documentation and Permitting. This will be followed by the third phase, Final Design; the fourth phase, Advertisement and Bidding; and then the final phase, Construction.
