Plans_-_Escalona_Dr_Storm_Drain_Rehabilitation_Project.pdf

This file contains project plans for the City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department's Escalona Drive Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project located in Santa Cruz County, California. The project scope involves the replacement of approximately 130 linear feet of existing 12-inch storm drain pipe with new 12-inch High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe between catch basins L5-CA604 and L5-CA603. Additional work includes removal and replacement of antiquated Type A catch basins with modern Type B catch basins, roadway surface restoration to address a sinkhole caused by pipe collapse, and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection of the storm drain system. The project is designed over a 40 working day schedule. Bid submissions were required by December 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, and must include bid forms, subcontractor lists, insurance certificates, and compliance statements. Qualified contractors must hold either a Class A or C34 California contractor license and maintain current registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on unit pricing for line items including mobilization, traffic control, pipe replacement, and catch basin installation. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, with 5% contract value retained until 35 calendar days after project completion. The procurement emphasizes local hiring provisions requiring contractors to make good faith efforts to employ qualified local residents and apprentices. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with California Department of Industrial Relations registration requirements. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are outlined in the opportunity. The project is funded through the City of Santa Cruz municipal budget and addresses critical infrastructure rehabilitation and public safety improvement objectives by reducing flooding and improving existing street conditions in the Escalona Drive area.
