JOMU IRRIGATION SYSTEM
RFP No. 140P8525Q0015
The National Park Service (NPS), John Muir National Historic Site, located in California, has a requirement to replace the failing existing irrigation system with a new irrigation system.

The existing irrigation system supports the site¿s historic landscape of mature ornamental
trees and restored orchards and gardens. It serves a one-acre area of trees and landscaping
around the historic house, which sits on a hill at the south side of the site. It also irrigates a
one-acre apple orchard downhill to the east, and a one-acre peach orchard to the north. The
new system will extend irrigation to a one-acre vineyard/orchard planted west of the house
and a two-acre orchard west of the creek.

The existing irrigation water source is supplied by domestic city water via a meter at the park
entrance (4202 Alhambra Ave). The POC will be the domestic 5/8¿ water meter located in an
unpaved planter bed adjacent to the park entrance at 4202 Alhambra Ave. An additional
water meter located on the NW side of the site (near the Martinez Adobe) will supply water
to irrigation lines on the West side of the site. All irrigation parts downstream of the
meter/POC will be replaced unless indicated otherwise on the Plans.

Two existing historic hand-dug, rock-lined wells are also connected to the existing irrigation
system and shall be reconnected to the new irrigation system. The existing well infrastructure
including pumps, captive air tanks and backflow preventers shall be retained.
