This is a pre-bid conference presentation slide deck for Tulare County's Asset Protection Project, a comprehensive stormwater and flood mitigation initiative spanning multiple county properties. The project encompasses painting and coating services along with eight additional scopes of work including fencing and gates, electrical, miscellaneous metals, earthwork and paving, landscaping, concrete, and site utilities. The painting and coating scope specifically covers work at ten properties located on Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street, along with adjacent driveways and parking areas. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on February 19, 2026, with sealed bids due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, via OpenGov. The successful contractor must substantially complete the project within 231 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with project completion scheduled for January 12, 2027.

This federally funded FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance project is procured under a multi-prime method and requires contractors to comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage provisions, maintain California Department of Industrial Relations registration, possess valid California contractor licenses, and carry appropriate insurance including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability coverage. Bid security of ten percent of the base bid is required, with successful bidders required to furnish Performance and Payment Bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract sum. Progress payments are made at ninety-five percent of approved work with five percent retained until final completion, and a one-year Warranty Bond equal to ten percent of the final contract amount must be furnished. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion period. The specific contract value for the painting and coating scope is not disclosed in available procurement documents, though the overall Asset Protection Project is federally funded through FEMA.
