Santa Cruz Gateway Landscape Improvements Project Specifications
This is a bid document package for landscape improvements issued by the City of Santa Cruz for the Santa Cruz Gateway project located at Ocean Street and Plymouth Street in Santa Cruz, California. The comprehensive scope of work includes demolition, site and soil preparation, irrigation system installation, planting, cast-in-place concrete work, landscape lighting, low-voltage electrical systems, and landscape establishment. The project is designed under a single prime contract with work divided into multiple bid items. The design consultants include SWA Group (landscape architecture), PASE Engineers (structural engineering), Interface Engineering (MEP systems), and RMA Irrigation (irrigation design). The contract documents specify a preconstruction conference to be held at City of Santa Cruz City Hall at a mutually agreed time, followed by weekly progress meetings. All submittals must be made electronically in PDF format to the Owner's Representative with a minimum 30-day advance notice before work commencement. The project requires coordination with multiple agencies including CalTrans due to proximity to Highway 17 and Highway 1 on/off ramps, with the contractor responsible for obtaining temporary encroachment permits. Lane closures must be posted with variable message boards in both directions two weeks prior and are limited to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, with the roadway remaining fully open outside working hours and on weekends and holidays.
The contract documents establish comprehensive requirements for quality assurance, submittal procedures, and project coordination. Substitution requests must be submitted in writing during the bidding period or through formal transmittal procedures after contract award, with the contractor bearing costs for engineer evaluation. The construction schedule will be reviewed at weekly progress meetings with particular attention to critical path items, material deliveries, and potential delays. Temporary facilities and controls must be provided by the contractor, including water service, electrical power, sanitary facilities, storage areas, and fire protection. Environmental protection measures are mandatory, including erosion and sedimentation control, with the contractor held responsible for any damage to City property, storm drains, and existing vegetation. Contract closeout requirements include submission of record drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, project record documents, and final cleaning. The contractor must maintain temporary tree and plant protection zones throughout construction according to recognized arboricultural standards, with an ISA-certified arborist responsible for ensuring compliance and providing damage certification upon project completion.
