1. Lake Tulloch Intertie Construction Contract Awarded — Major Infrastructure Project Moving Forward The board unanimously approved a construction contract to Ford Construction Co. of Lodi for the Lake Tulloch Intertie Project at $5,499,199 (plus 10% contingency), coming in roughly $1.7 million under the engineer's estimate. This project installs 12,700 feet of 12-inch ductile iron pipe along O'Burns Ferry Road in Copperopolis, eliminating reliance on an aging underwater crossing of Lake Tulloch that poses significant operational risk. The project also adds fire hydrants in underserved areas and improves water supply flexibility between pressure zones — construction will include substantial winter work along a busy road, and a public informational meeting similar to past large projects was suggested.
