2020 Annual Sewer Replacement Project Phase 1

The City of Livermore in Alameda County, California, is seeking a qualified contractor for the 2020 Annual Sewer Replacement Project Phase 1, a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation initiative spanning multiple city streets. The project requires a Class "A" (General Engineering) Contractor's License and involves extensive sewer system improvements, including replacement of existing sewer mainline pipes, laterals, and maintenance holes, as well as installation of new cleanouts. Specific work includes preparatory street cleaning, asphalt concrete pavement and base repairs, pavement grinding, open trench construction, CIPP lining, utility coordination, traffic striping removal and replacement, concrete infrastructure repairs, crack sealing, micro-surfacing, and asphalt overlays. The bid is scheduled to be opened on May 6, 2025, at 2:30 PM, with contractors required to have Department of Industrial Relations registration. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 120 working days from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages of $4,000 per day for substantial completion delays and $3,000 per day for final completion delays.

Contractors must provide a bid security of 10% of the maximum bid amount and are required to perform at least 25% of the work with their own forces. The contract is structured as a unit price contract, with the City retaining 5% of each progress payment and requiring payment and performance bonds for 100% of the contract price, as well as a warranty bond for 15% of the contract price. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project involves coordinating with multiple utility providers, including CalWater for potential water line relocations. The project will require careful traffic management, with contractors mandated to maintain at least one lane of traffic in each direction and provide advance notification to residents and city departments. Though an exact total project value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure work and the detailed specifications suggest a significant investment in municipal infrastructure improvement.
