​

Bid improvements consist of open channel canal replacement with large diameter pipeline, road improvements, drainage, earthwork and other work, all in accordance with the contract plans, the contract provisions, and the specifications. The improvements are for construction of water conservation and operational improvements to the KRD system. Requested work follows the existing South Branch Canal alignment starting downstream of the existing pipeline to open channel canal transition at Station 655+09 (MP12.4).  

​

The Project has been divided into a Base Reach and an Optional Reach. It is the District’s desire to improve the remaining reaches of the canal between Robinson Creek and Manastash Creek. Pricing of a reach extension is requested for potential optional award at the discretion of KRD. Total bonding capacity for all reaches if options are awarded is estimated at $7.5 million to $8.5 million.

​

The base bid improvements in the Bidding Documents are for extension of pipeline replacement of existing open channel canal from the existing steel reinforced HDPE pipe transition at Station 655+09 (MP12.4) and extends for 2,085 feet to Station 675+94 (MP12.8).

​

The optional bid improvements in these documents are for pipeline and roadway improvements of existing open channel described as work related to canal improvements for 4,314 feet between Station 675+94 (MP12.8) and Station 719+08 (MP13.6). Optional award will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, grant funding award, weather, cost, Contractors work plan, demonstrated productivity on base bid reach, and the anticipated start of the 2025 irrigation seasons on or about the first week of April. This optional pricing will not be factored into evaluation of apparent low bidder.

​

Plans, specifications, and Bidding Documents are only available electronically on the District website (kittitasreclamationdistrict.org/current-bids) beginning October 4, 2024.

​
