Cratus, Inc. is requesting quotes from DBE, SBE, MBE & WBE Subcontractors, Suppliers & Haulers for the construction of the City of Santa Cruz’s The Newell Creek Pipeline Improvement Project - Felton/Graham Hill CWO# 2023-002 project.

The Project will be financed through the California Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), the Water Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act (WIFIA), and the City’s capital improvement budget.

No specific goal has been established for the project, but participation is highly encouraged.

The Project includes replacing the existing Newell Creek Pipeline (NCP) from Felton Booster Pump Station (FBPS) to the intersection of Henry Cowell Drive and Graham Hill Road, with a new approximately 19,860 foot, 24-inch ductile iron pipeline located predominantly in Graham Hill Road.
Other work includes paving, tree removal, cathodic protection, drilled concrete piers, pipeline appurtenances, work above a highly regulated and protected waterway, a Railroad crossing, and work within and next to protected, sensitive environmental resources.
The new pipeline will connect at the Felton Booster Pump Station, cross under Graham Hill Road, cross above Zayante Creek, continue south through easements, bore under the Santa Cruz, Big Trees, and Pacific Railway (Railroad), continue south in Graham Hill Road, and tie-in to the existing pipeline at the intersection of Henry Cowell Drive and Graham Hill Road. The abandoned pipeline not removed will be filled with cellular grout in select areas.

The Engineer's Estimate has a range of $24M to $31M.
