This is an email draft notification file related to Sacramento County, California's federally-funded New Hope Road Bridge at Grizzly Slough Replacement Project. The project involves the complete reconstruction of a 90-year-old bridge on the county's southern border, requiring a qualified California General Engineering Contractor (Class A license) to demolish the existing structure and construct a new 222.5-foot cast-in-place reinforced concrete bridge approximately 38 feet wide. Key deliverables include bridge demolition, installation of four new piers with 30-inch diameter columns, removal of 69 riparian trees, placement of rock slope protection, roadway approach work, hydroseeding, and installation of bridge railing and traffic striping. The new bridge will feature two 11-foot travel lanes with 6-foot paved shoulders and future Class II bikeways. Pre-bid questions must be submitted by February 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with responses due by February 12, 2026. Electronic bids are due February 19, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. through Sacramento County's electronic bidding portal, with a contract completion time of 120 working days.

The estimated construction cost is $5,399,400, with contractors required to provide bid security of 10 percent of the bid amount and execute Payment and Performance Bonds for 100 percent of the contract price. Substantial insurance coverage is mandatory, including $5,000,000 general liability, $2,000,000 automobile liability, and $2,000,000 pollution liability insurance. The project requires strict compliance with Davis-Bacon wage requirements, FHWA provisions, and multiple environmental permits, including Section 404 Clean Water Act authorization, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan. Contractors must register with the California Department of Industrial Relations for public works projects and adhere to Title VI non-discrimination provisions covering race, color, national origin, age, sex, and disability. Liquidated damages are set at $6,700 per calendar day for failure to meet completion deadlines, and in-water work is restricted to the period between June 1 and October 1 to protect fish species.
