The City of Fresno has awarded $5.2 million to Floyd Johnston Construction Co. of Clovis to upgrade the Leaky Acres groundwater recharge facility, a key component of the city's water supply infrastructure. The project will modernize the facility's man-made recharge basins, which date back to the early 1970s, and allow each basin to be filled independently and thereby more accurate tracking of water delivery. The work includes the installation of 5,170 linear feet of gravity flow pipeline and the construction or replacement of approximately 30 small diversion structures. The low bidder, Dawson-Mauldin LLC, was disqualified after failing to sign the bid document.
