202503S3-Project Manual.pdf

The 202503S3-Project Manual.pdf is a contract document issued by the Port of California for an On-Call Civil Utility Infrastructure Construction annual contract. The project seeks to execute contracts with up to five contractors for constructing, rehabilitating, and repairing civil utility infrastructure, including domestic and fire water distribution systems, wastewater systems, stormwater facilities, and pressurized systems like natural gas. The estimated total annual cost for the work is $15,000,000, with contracts to be awarded for a three-year term, and the final not-to-exceed amount to be determined by the Board at the time of award.

The Port has a specific preference to award at least one contract to a Port-certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) contractor, if available. This approach demonstrates a commitment to supporting small businesses while securing comprehensive utility infrastructure construction services. The contract structure allows for flexibility in contractor selection and provides an opportunity for multiple firms to participate in the annual infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects, with a substantial budget allocation that indicates significant ongoing infrastructure investment and maintenance needs.
