This is a pre-bid conference presentation slide deck for Tehama County's Asset Protection Project, a multi-prime procurement designed to protect county properties from seasonal stormwater flooding across ten locations in California. The project encompasses concrete masonry work including cast-in-place concrete, concrete finishing, precast concrete structures, concrete unit masonry, grouting, and miscellaneous metalwork for barrier walls, berms, hardscape elements, and related protective structures at properties located on Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street. The mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the County Administration Center, with sealed bids due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, submitted through the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. The Notice to Proceed is scheduled for November 12, 2025, with substantial completion required within 231 calendar days, subject to liquidated damages of $2,000 per calendar day for schedule delays. The project scope includes eight primary work categories: fencing and gates, painting and coating, electrical work, miscellaneous metals, earthwork and paving, landscaping, concrete, and site utilities.

The project is federally funded through the Office of Emergency Services and FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, with final FEMA closeout scheduled for January 12, 2027. Qualified contractors must possess current California contractor's licenses with appropriate classifications, be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and FEMA compliance provisions, including Title 2 CFR 200.318-200.326 federal procurement standards. Contractors must submit a 10 percent bid bond or certified check with proposals and furnish 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds within five calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed. The County actively encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises and labor surplus area firms. Contractors must maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with the County named as an additional insured. Access requirements are critical, with contractors required to maintain Category A Critical Emergency Vehicle Access Points open 24/7, provide minimum two-week notice before disrupting Category B Operational Vehicle Access Points, and submit traffic control plans and encroachment permits for Category C Major Traffic Access Ways requiring three-week notice. The project incorporates findings from a May 2021 geotechnical investigation, and contractors must adhere to approved Issued for Construction drawing sets and project specifications.
