Granite to Complete Initial Phase of Tahoe Cedars Water System Reconstruction

Key Terms

progressive design-build technical

A progressive design-build is a project delivery method where an owner hires a single team of designers and builders early and lets the project details, scope and price evolve together as design work advances. Think of it like hiring a contractor to sketch and refine a house with you step by step, rather than agreeing a fixed plan up front; it can speed delivery, improve coordination, and reduce costly surprises. Investors care because it can improve schedule certainty and cost control while shifting more accountability for delivery to one party.

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite (NYSE: GVA) announced it has been awarded an approximately $19 million Progressive Design-Build (PDB) Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) 1 for the Tahoe Cedars Water System Replacement Project by the Tahoe City Public Utility District (TCPUD).

The Tahoe Cedars Water System Replacement Project, located on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, California, will modernize critical infrastructure serving the Tahoe Cedars community by replacing aging pipelines and system components that have operated beyond their intended service life.

Key components include:

• Installation of 15,000 linear feet of new water mains
• Relocation of 200+ existing service lines
• Installation of 29 fire hydrants to enhance fire protection coverage
• Integration of approximately 200 residential water meters to support improved system monitoring and efficiency

“Reaching this GMP is the result of strong collaboration and trust across the project team,” said Chris Burke, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “Granite’s consistent ability to achieve GMP reflects our focus on working closely with owners to align scope, cost, and schedule from the outset.”

The project will improve system reliability, reduce water loss, and strengthen fire protection capabilities in high-risk wildfire areas like the Tahoe Basin. Designed to meet current regulatory standards and adapt to future demands, the upgraded system provides a resilient, long-term solution with an anticipated service life of at least 50 years, supporting the safety and sustainability of the Tahoe Cedars community.

GMP 1 construction is expected to begin in mid-June 2026 and anticipated to be completed in October 2026. This initial GMP phase represents the first year of a planned four-year construction program.
