This is a pre-bid conference presentation document for the Asset Protection Pumps & Vaults project conducted by Solano County General Services Department, Capital Projects Management Division, in partnership with Trinity County, California. The project encompasses furnishing and installing approximately 381 linear feet of fencing, two flood gates (Gates 5 and 6), fence posts, gate hardware including motors and controllers, detector loops, and electrical connections at multiple County properties located on Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street in Fairfield, California. The mandatory pre-bid conference was held on February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the County Administration Center, 675 Texas Street, Fairfield, California. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. local time on March 9, 2026, submitted via the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. Construction is scheduled to commence on March 2, 2026, with substantial completion required within 231 calendar days from Notice to Proceed and final completion within 30 additional calendar days. The scope of work includes eight primary components: fencing and gates, painting and coating, electrical work, miscellaneous metals, earthwork and paving, landscaping, concrete, and site utilities.

Bidders must possess a current California Contractor's License with appropriate classifications and submit a bid bond or certified check equal to 10 percent of the base bid, a Non-Collusion Affidavit, a Subcontractor List Form, and proof of current licensure. The successful contractor must post Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price and a one-year Warranty Bond for 10 percent of the final contract amount within five calendar days of Notice of Award. Liquidated damages are assessed at $2,000 per calendar day for delays exceeding the 231-calendar-day completion period. The project is federally funded through FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs, requiring compliance with Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code, and registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations. Contractors must verify suspension and debarment status through sam.gov and demonstrate affirmative steps to solicit small businesses, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and labor surplus area firms. The project addresses seasonal flooding resilience for County-owned properties and requires coordination with critical County justice and emergency services facilities to maintain access during construction phasing.
