This is a pre-bid conference presentation document for the Asset Protection Project, a flood protection infrastructure initiative conducted by Solano County, California. The project encompasses miscellaneous metals fabrication and installation work across multiple County facilities in Fairfield, California, including the Hall of Justice, Solano Justice Center, and related emergency services facilities located at Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street properties. The comprehensive Asset Protection Project includes barrier walls, berms, stormwater management infrastructure, flood gates, underground utility reconfiguration, and pump systems designed to protect County assets from seasonal flooding. The scope of work for this specific bid is limited to miscellaneous metals and represents one component of a multi-prime competitive sealed bid procurement. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the County Administration Center. Sealed bids were due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, submitted through the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. The contract requires substantial completion within 231 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with project design completion targeted for February 27, 2026, construction phases extending through November 2026, and final closeout by January 12, 2027.
