Tehama County is procuring concrete masonry work as part of a multi-prime Asset Protection Project designed to protect county properties from seasonal stormwater flooding at ten locations including 500, 530, 550, and 600 Union Avenue; 500, 510, 512, 520, and 530 Clay Street; 501 and 509 Delaware Street; and 501 Texas Street. The scope of work encompasses cast-in-place concrete, concrete finishing, precast concrete structures, concrete unit masonry, grouting, and miscellaneous metalwork for barrier walls, berms, hardscape elements, and related protective structures. Qualified contractors must possess current California contractor's licenses with appropriate classifications, be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements and FEMA compliance provisions. The project is federally funded through the Office of Emergency Services and FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance programs. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the County Administration Center, with sealed bids due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, submitted via the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. Contractors must submit a 10 percent bid bond or certified check with their proposals, and the successful bidder shall furnish 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds within five calendar days of receiving the Notice to Proceed, which is scheduled for November 12, 2025, with substantial completion required within 231 calendar days, subject to liquidated damages of $2,000 per calendar day for schedule delays.

Contractors must comply with federal procurement standards outlined in Title 2 CFR 200.318-200.326, including full and open competition requirements, conflict of interest standards, and debarment certification for federally funded work. The County actively encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises and labor surplus area firms through affirmative steps in the procurement process. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Contractors must maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with the County named as an additional insured and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The project incorporates findings from a comprehensive geotechnical investigation completed in May 2021, with design recommendations for foundations, lateral earth pressures, and earthwork specifications based on site conditions identified in the Geotech Report, and contractors must adhere to the approved Issued for Construction drawing sets and project specifications. Access requirements are critical, with contractors required to maintain Category A Critical Emergency Vehicle Access Points open 24/7, provide minimum two-week notice before disrupting Category B Operational Vehicle Access Points, and submit traffic control plans and encroachment permits for Category C Major Traffic Access Ways requiring three-week notice. The specific bid value or contract award amount is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents, though the project budget and funding availability are provided through FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance channels with final FEMA closeout scheduled for January 12, 2027.
