This is an Issued for Construction (IFC) drawing set approved by the Building Division for Tulare County's Asset Protection Project, a comprehensive stormwater flood protection initiative covering ten county properties across multiple street locations in California. The project encompasses painting and coating services as part of a larger multi-prime procurement effort that also includes barrier walls, berms, landscaping, hardscape, flood gates, and underground utility reconfiguration. The painting and coating scope of work involves furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete coating work on structures, bollards, handrails, and other specified items across the project sites, including adjacent driveways and parking areas. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed bids due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, via OpenGov. The successful bidder must substantially complete the project within 231 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with project completion scheduled for January 12, 2027, and liquidated damages assessed at $2,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion period.

This is a federally funded FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance project requiring Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage compliance, valid California contractor licenses, and California Department of Industrial Relations registration. Bid security of ten percent of the base bid is required via certified check or bid bond, with successful bidders required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum within five calendar days of award. Progress payments are made at ninety-five percent of approved work with five percent retained until final completion, and contractors must furnish a one-year Warranty Bond equal to ten percent of the final contract amount. The contract requires appropriate insurance including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability coverage naming Tulare County as an additional insured. FEMA-mandated provisions encourage participation by disadvantaged business enterprises through affirmative outreach and competition requirements. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified, indicating this represents new contract work with operational continuity requirements for critical county justice and emergency services facilities during construction.
