The work to be done consists, in general, of reconstructing approximately 1.5 miles of Jensen Avenue from West Avenue to Fig Avenue (also known as MLK Blvd). The road will be reconstructed using a Full-Depth Reclamation with Cement method. The road work includes construction of new curb ramps, adjusting sewer manholes, signage and striping, and other miscellaneous items. A new ductile iron water pipeline will also be installed, replacing an existing asbestos water pipeline to be abandoned in place. Coordination with City of Fresno Public Utilities Department will be necessary to arrange the tie-in to existing system. The pipe replacement also involves installation of new water meters, fire hydrants, valves, and other appurtenant work. Some Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) master storm drain facilities shall also be installed as part of the work.
