IRWD_Standard_Water_and_Sewer_Notes.pdf

This is a technical notes document prepared by the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) applicable to the City of Lake Forest's street resurfacing projects in California. The document establishes standard requirements and specifications for water and sewer coordination during the Bake Parkway Resurfacing Project (Phase 1 and Phase 2) and the Normandale Drive and Regency Lane Resurfacing Projects. The notes address utility adjustments, drainage considerations, and coordination protocols necessary to ensure water and sewer infrastructure remains operational and properly maintained throughout pavement rehabilitation activities. These standard notes serve as a reference guide for contractors performing work in areas where IRWD utilities exist or may be affected by construction activities.

The document establishes technical standards and procedures that bidders must follow to ensure compliance with IRWD requirements during construction. Contractors are required to coordinate with IRWD for any work affecting water and sewer lines, including locating utilities, obtaining permits for utility adjustments to grade as mentioned in the project scope, and following specific construction methodologies to protect existing infrastructure. These standard notes represent binding requirements for contract performance and must be incorporated into all bid submissions and subsequent construction activities to ensure successful project completion while maintaining continuity of water and sewer service delivery.
