Garstin Water Operations Facility Replacement Project

Garstin Water Operations Facility Replacement Project

The City of Big Bear Lake, Department of Water and Power (BBLDWP) proposes implementation of the Garstin Water Operations Facility Project (Project) to build a stronger and more resilient community through the construction of public water operation facilities and the promotion of energy efficiency. The Project includes design and construction of an approximate 13,600 square foot, concrete block, single story operations building with solar panels; a 10,000 square foot, metal, single story warehouse/warm storage building, and a 7,200 square foot, concrete block, single story, covered parking structure with solar panels, liquid chlorine storage, battery backup, generator backup and electrical equipment room; and a reconfiguration of the parking lots to accommodate the new buildings. Implementation of the Project is anticipated to occur in two phases as follows, but may be constructed in one single phase: Phase I – Design and construction of a new 13,600 square foot, concrete block, single story operations building; a new 10,000 square foot, warehouse / warm storage building and northerly site improvements to reconfigure the parking lots. Design of a new 7,200 square foot, concrete block, single story, covered parking structure with solar panels, liquid chlorine storage, battery backup, generator backup and electrical equipment room; and Phase II – Demolition of the existing operations building and construction of the 7,200 square foot, concrete block, single story, covered parking structure with solar panels, liquid chlorine storage, battery backup, generator backup and electrical equipment room. The Operations Building and the covered parking area, will be designed to have solar panels to minimize (offset) overall energy demand for the new complex. In addition to the main buildings, the project includes additional and reconfigured parking and material storage areas and a possible greenhouse facility and adjacent demonstration garden.
