Exhibit_3_Aerial_Image.pdf

Exhibit 3 is an aerial imagery document supporting the County of Orange, OC Public Works' Request for Proposals for the Santa Ana River (E01) Avio Tide Gates Replacement project. The document provides access to aerial imagery, topographic survey data, and 3D point cloud information of the Avio Gates project site in Huntington Beach, California through an ArcGIS Map Series application. This visual resource allows respondents to review the project location and site conditions for the replacement of two existing "Avio-style" mechanical level control tide gates that currently suffer from corrosion, failing coatings, and damaged trash racks. Prospective contractors can access detailed geospatial data to support their project planning and cost estimation during the proposal development phase. A mandatory pre-submittal meeting and site visit is scheduled for March 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at 1299 Victoria Street, Costa Mesa, California, with RSVP required by March 9, 2026. Electronic proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on March 31, 2026, with award anticipated in August 2026.

The County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) Preference provides a five percent cost score deduction for certified OCLSB businesses, with an additional eight percent deduction available for businesses certified as both OCLSB and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). All contractors must comply with California Labor Code Section 1771.1(a) and prevailing wage requirements.
