These documents are contract bid documents from the City of Watsonville for a Sidewalk, Bike Lane, and Trail Project located near the intersection of Harkins Slough Road and Lee Road. The project involves infrastructure improvements with a specific focus on constructing sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, and associated signage and striping. The federal-aid project number is 5031 (040), and the contract includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal of 16% for the contract.

The bid documents include several key exhibits requiring detailed documentation of DBE participation, including the DBE Confirmation form (Exhibit 9-I), Bidder's List (Exhibit 12-B), Construction Contract DBE Commitment (Exhibit 15-G), and Proposer/Contractor Good Faith Efforts documentation (Exhibit 15-H). These forms outline the requirements for contractors to demonstrate their commitment to involving DBE firms in the project, including providing details on subcontracted work, solicitation efforts, and methods used to facilitate DBE participation. Contractors must submit these documents within 5 calendar days from the bid opening date, with careful attention to providing comprehensive information about potential DBE subcontractors and the steps taken to meet or exceed the contract's DBE participation goal.
