Confidential Warehouse Project

Victorville, CA – Merit Award, Commercial and Public Works – Large Projects

CONSULTANT

Chris Curry, Glasir Design

PROJECT OVERVIEW

• This confidential warehouse project is a large 71.4-acre site in the City of Victorville, California
• The project was required to be split between On-site private irrigation system (3) Points of Connection (POCs) and Off-site city-maintained right-of-way irrigation system (2) POCs

ROLE OF THE IRRIGATION CONSULTANT

• Bidding/Construction Plans
• Coordination with the City, Civil, Manufacturers, and Electrical Engineer
• Review of Requests for Information from bidding contractors (RFIs)
• Review of irrigation equipment submittals by the awarded contractor
• Construction Observations, Preconstruction Meeting, Mainline Pressure Test/Valve location review, Coverage Test, and Pre-Maintenance walk/punch list

SPECIAL FACTORS

• The IC was challenged by the Owner to use only one manufacturer, and design within a very tight budget
  • The IC had to move away from the traditional design of (1) Controller per water POC and therefore, the On-site Irrigation utilizes (1) 2-wire controller connected to the (3) On-site water POCs
•  Coordination with the City of Victorville for their Off-site right-of-way was…interesting
  •  The City requested (2) water POCs both with their own controller
  •  The City approved the 2-wire controller that was specified for the On-site work and will be utilizing the 2-wire flexibility in the future to irrigate City maintained medians
