SOW 1.0 Background on the Government’s Requirement

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Bishop Field Office manages drinking water systems at three campgrounds—Tuttle Creek, Horton Creek, and Crowley Lake. These systems require modernization to address regulatory deficiencies, improve reliability, and ensure consistently safe drinking water for public use.

Each water system is supplied by a dedicated groundwater well powered by a solar array.

During the day, these wells feed above-ground storage tanks that distribute water through gravity-fed PVC piping. The distribution networks extend throughout the campgrounds, providing water via multiple spigots and irrigation points.

Currently, these drinking water systems experience recurring maintenance challenges due to missing isolation valves and exposed drain lines. The primary issues include:

Exposed and Fragile Drain Lines: Existing tank drain lines are laid across the ground and constructed with small-diameter piping, making them prone to frequent breaks and leaks. The restricted pipe diameter also slows tank drainage, requiring excessive staff time for maintenance.

Lack of Isolation Valves: Each distribution system has only a single shutoff valve at the tank, preventing individual sections from being isolated for repairs.

Any maintenance requires shutting down the entire system.

Absence of Water Meters: Water meters are necessary to track usage and comply with regulatory reporting requirements, but none are currently installed.

To address these issues, the project will implement key upgrades, including burying and replacing tank drain lines, installing isolation valves, and integrating water meters at each campground. These improvements will enhance system reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (Title 40 CFR 141) and California’s Title 22 Drinking Water Standards.

SOW 2.0 General Scope of Work

The general scope of work is to address regulatory deficiencies, improve reliability, and ensure consistently safe drinking water for public use. The contractor’s proposal must include detailed specification sheets for all proposed replacement equipment to demonstrate:

Compatibility with existing equipment Compliance with Title 40 CFR 141 Safe Drinking Water Act and California’s

Title 22 Drinking Water Standards

1. Tank Drain Modifications

SOW Page 3

The contractor shall provide and install a total of approximately 580840 linear feet of 4-inch buried tank drain lines across the three campgrounds. Replace the drain line from the tank to the outlet. The new installation shall include a shutoff valve, tee, and cap located at the tank pad. The outlet shall be equipped with a screened air gap fitting sized to provide a vertical separation of at least two times the pipe diameter. Appropriate erosion control measures shall be installed below the outfall to prevent soil displacement.

Installing cover/buried drain lines will:

Improve system efficiency Reduce staff time required for startups and shutdowns Enhance overall water system performance

Refer to Section 4.0 of the Statement of Work (SOW) and Section 11 for specific drain line lengths and additional campground details.

2. Distribution Piping Modifications

The contractor shall provide and install the following distribution system modifications at all three campgrounds:

Tank Outflow Meters: Three 2-inch meters, each housed in a valve box, with a total of six isolation valves

Isolation Valves: Seven additional isolation valves, each in a valve box, to allow for sectional shutdowns and pressure zone isolation

Backflow Prevention: Replacement of one existing backflow device with a reduced-pressure backflow prevention device to ensure compliance with applicable plumbing codes at Tuttle Creek Campground

BLM staff will identify and mark the pipe locations for valve installation and will either leave the area uncovered or include a note indicating the pipe depth after reburial.

These modifications will enable targeted repairs, improve water use tracking, and enhance system efficiency while meeting regulatory and plumbing code requirements.

For additional details on specific tasks at each campground, refer to Section 4.0, Section 11, and Section 9 of this Statement of Work (SOW).

Construction will take place while the campgrounds remain open to the public. The contractor is responsible for maintaining a secure worksite and ensuring that at least one lane of traffic remains open around or through all work zones to allow safe public access.

Additional construction may be occurring at the wellheads and storage tanks during this project. The contractor is responsible for coordinating with other ongoing work to prevent delays to either contract. A construction schedule for the additional work will be provided upon award to assist in sequencing tasks accordingly.

2. Distribution

a. The as-built information of the water system the BLM has on file is located in Section 10: Campground Facility Locations. It is strongly recommended that the contractor complete utility pot holing to verify the location and size of the drinking water line as the BLM cannot guarantee the accuracy of the as-builts on file.
