This Bid Notice is issued by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) for construction services to rehabilitate existing large diameter brick sewers at various locations throughout San Francisco, California. The project, designated WW-796, involves specialized cured-in-place-liner (CIPL) rehabilitation work along with ancillary tasks including manhole coordination and sewer lateral connections. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 2, 2026, at 11:00 AM via teleconference, with attendance optional but encouraged. Bids are due on November 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Electronic bidding forms are available upon request from QBD@sfwater.org and require completion of a Confidentiality Agreement prior to distribution. Interested bidders must possess a Class A California Contractors License, and all subcontractors must hold appropriate active licenses for their respective scopes of work. The SFPUC also requires bidders to complete the Safety Prequalification Web Form at least three weeks prior to bid opening.

The estimated project cost is $21,517,000. A Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement of 10.00% applies, with participation limited to CMD-certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs only; PUC-LBEs and prime or joint venture level LBE participation do not count toward this requirement. The reduced subcontracting threshold reflects the specialized nature of CIPL work, which historically attracts only two qualified firms and comprises more than half of the engineer's estimate. Subcontracting opportunities may include saw-cutting, paving, excavation, traffic control, and concrete work. Bidders exceeding the LBE requirement by at least 35% are exempt from submitting documented Good Faith efforts on CMD Form 2B; all other bidders must submit such documentation. Bid discounts apply in accordance with San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B.

Project Description

An electronic version of the bidding forms is available by request.

To request these materials, email QBD@sfwater.org with this Contract No. WW-796, the firm name, full address, email address, phone number, copy of contractor’s license or business card, and a copy of a government-issued identification. Visit https://webapps.sfpuc.org/bids/ for updates. Please be advised that prior to receiving these materials, all requestors will be required to complete, sign, and comply with a Confidentiality Agreement.

The objective of the project is to rehabilitate existing large diameter brick sewers. The work is to be performed in San Francisco, California.

Bid discounts may be applied in accordance with San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B - Rules and Regulations, and Section 2.01 of CMD Attachment 1. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 10.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs.

The LBE subcontracting participation requirement is set below 20% because the contract is predominantly composed of cured-in-place-liner (CIPL)rehabilitation work, a highly specialized scope that can only be performed by qualified subcontractors. Historically, only two firms have bid on comparable CIPL projects, indicating a very limited subcontractor pool. Since CIPL work accounts for more than half of the engineer's estimate—and the remaining tasks, including manhole coordination and sewer lateral connections, are dependent on this specialty work—the subcontracting opportunities are limited. PUC-LBEs cannot be counted towards meeting the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). Prime and Joint Venture level LBE participation cannot be counted towards meeting any of the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). LBE subcontractors must be certified with CMD in the scope of work they are being listed to perform. All Bidders shall submit documented Good Faith efforts with their Bids as directed on CMD Form 2B, except those who exceed the above-stated subcontracting requirement(s) by at least 35%.
