This pre-bid conference presentation document was prepared by Trinity County, California, for the Asset Protection Pumps & Vaults project scheduled for January 6, 2026, with an updated conference date of February 19, 2026. The project encompasses a comprehensive flood mitigation initiative protecting multiple county properties across Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street locations. The landscaping scope represents one component of a multi-prime procurement that includes fencing and gates, painting and coating, electrical work, miscellaneous metals, earthwork and paving, concrete, and site utilities. The broader Asset Protection Project incorporates storm walls, berms, raised access points, and passive storm gates designed to protect county assets from seasonal stormwater flooding. The mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 19, 2026, with sealed bids due March 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. Contractors must achieve substantial completion within 231 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion required within 30 days thereafter.

All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and maintain current contractor licenses at bid submission. The project is federally funded through OES/FEMA, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and federal procurement standards under Title 2 CFR 200.318-200.326. Bidders must submit a 10 percent bid bond or certified check with their proposal and furnish performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount upon award, plus a one-year warranty bond for 10 percent of the final contract price. A 5 percent retainage will be held from progress payments, made monthly at 95 percent of approved work in place, until 35 days after the Notice of Completion. Liquidated damages of $2,000 per calendar day apply for delays beyond the contract completion date. The contract does not become effective until all certificates of insurance, business and professional licenses, and applicable certifications are on file with the County.
