Ray White Cement to provide concrete pad in FPUD yard

Ray White Cement was the successful bidder for a Fallbrook Public Utility District contract to provide a concrete pad in the FPUD yard.

Ray White Cement bid $28,940 for the project, and on Oct. 26 the FPUD board voted 5-0 to award the contract.

"The district is in the process of resurfacing the whole operations yard at headquarters. Part of that work includes fairly extensive concrete foundation work," said FPUD manager Brian Brady.

FPUD will be repaving its yard with asphalt, but some rearrangement was determined to be necessary for better long-term protective storage of materials and better access for the asphalt repaving. The Ray White Cement work will provide three concrete reinforced pads totaling 90 cubic yards. The concrete pads will be used to support existing storage containers which will be relocated. "Currently they're just on bare ground, so we want to get them off the ground on a more permanent concrete pad," Brady said.

FPUD staff will subsequently construct a shade structure between the storage containers to protect non-metallic pipe and gaskets from sun damage.

Four Fallbrook companies responded to FPUD's request for proposals. The Ray White Cement bid was the lowest. Cooper's Concrete bid $30,969; Janikowski Construction submitted a bid of $31,250, and Stevens Concrete provided a bid of $36,600.
