Project Chilao Campground Complex – Water System Rehabilitation

General Information

1.0 Scope of Work

Contractor will be performing water utility and road work in the Chilao area. Water utility work will include installing pipe following the existing alignment and rerouting at particular areas to run within the roadbed. Supporting work to include replacement of infrastructure in existing valve boxes, fire boxes, and stand pipes, construction of a new valve box, rehabilitation of three existing tanks, and replacing appurtenances at fours well locations. Road work will include pulverization and paving of existing roads. Contractor will be responsible to maintain water service to buildings at the Visitor Center and Chilao fire station areas and tie into existing campground loops.

2.0 Background

The Chilao Campground Complex water system was developed by the Forest Service in the 1930s, see attachment Chilao System Historical Drawing. This aged infrastructure is in need of repair to continue serving a fire station, recreation campsites, visitor’s center, and partners in the immediate area. Repair to the pipeline, valves, tanks, and sources will ensure delivery of potable water at Chilao. The most recent diagram of the system is shown in attachment ChilaoSchematic1999.

3.0 Location

The main portion of the work will take place around the Chilao Campground complex which includes the Chilao Visitor Center (34.32673611, -118.00565556), Chilao Fire Station (34.333400, -118.025400), picnic area, and various campground loops (Manzanita, Coulter, Little Pines, and Meadow). The four wells are located about two miles north up State Route 2 Angeles Forest Highway near the 6000 ft PCT Trailhead (34.34963400, -117.96283056) along a trail.

4.0 Estimated Start Date / Period of Performance

The Chilao Campground Complex area is situated at a high elevation, where snow and ice are common during winter months. The desired start date for the project is Fall 2025, with the aim of completing the majority of the work before winter conditions potentially impact access. This timing also avoids work during the summer, as the water system serves a fire station critical for fire response. The contract will provide a period of performance of 150 days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with weather conditions considered for potential time extensions.
