Document Description
The City of Fresno has secured funding through the California Housing and Community Development Infill Infrastructure Grant Catalytic Qualifying Infill Area Program (IIGC Grant). The primary use of the IIGC Grant funds are intended to fund at least seven projects related to upgrading water and sewer infrastructure within the Downtown Fresno triangle. The objective of the IIGC grant funding is to support infill development by providing financial assistance for capital improvement projects that are essential to, or directly support, the development of affordable and mixed-income housing.
The proposed project includes approximately 15,900 linear feet of waterline improvements and/or 13,400 linear feet of sewer pipeline installation and rehabilitation. Project activities would include the installation and rehabilitation of water and sewer pipelines, manholes, and junction structures to support future development in Downtown Fresno. Where applicable, asphalt would be demolished to allow for installation of new pipeline improvements.
The proposed project would not involve structure demolition. The proposed demolition would consist of an existing sanitary sewer manhole, typically 48 to 60 inches in diameter and 10 to 14 feet deep and removing pavement or asphalt. No pile driving, blasting, rock breaking and processing, or groundwater dewatering would be required for construction of the project components. Approximately 26,700 cubic yards (cy) of soil would be excavated from the site, with approximately 5,032 cy exported via haul trucks and the remainder used as fill materials. Construction of the proposed project would occur between January 2026 and June 2027. Construction activities would typically occur between 7:00 A.M. and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. No nighttime construction is proposed. Construction of the proposed project would entail 10-20 construction workers on site, on any given day. The project would not involve any new operation and maintenance activities. No new operational employees would be required.
