Pre-Qualification Process Re-Opened for Calaveras Dam Replacement Project The SFPUC has issued a Revised Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in search of PRIME contractors who have the necessary qualifications to be pre-qualified to bid on the proposed Calaveras Dam Replacement Project. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PROJECT FACT SHEET AND REVISED RFQ NOTE: Prime Contractors previously pre-qualified in 2008 (Kiewit Pacific, Barnard Construction, and Granite Construction) for this project, will also be required to meet the revised requirements prior to approval to bid on this project. The SFPUC proposes to replace the Calaveras Dam with a new earth and rock fill dam of equal height and improved seismic design. The existing reservoir has been lowered to 40% of its capacity because of seismic safety concerns. The reservoir is the system’s largest local reservoir and represents more than half of the storage capacity in the Bay Area. This is crucial during times of high customer demand, drought, and when the system cannot receive water from its primary source - Hetch Hetchy Reservoir – due to a water quality event, system maintenance or an emergency.
