Asset Protection - Miscellaneous Metals

Solano County is procuring miscellaneous metals work for the Asset Protection Project through a multi-prime competitive sealed bid procurement method. The project encompasses flood protection infrastructure across multiple County facilities located at Union Avenue, Clay Street, Delaware Street, and Texas Street properties in Fairfield, California, including the Hall of Justice, Solano Justice Center, and related emergency services facilities. The scope of work is limited exclusively to miscellaneous metals fabrication and installation required to support the overall Asset Protection Project, which includes barrier walls, berms, stormwater management infrastructure, flood gates, underground utility reconfiguration, and pump systems designed to protect County assets from seasonal flooding. Qualified bidders must be licensed California contractors and are required to attend a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the County Administration Center. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, submitted through the Solano County OpenGov E-Procurement Portal. The contract requires substantial completion within 231 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $2,000 per day assessed for delays beyond the completion deadline. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 10 percent of the total bid amount, non-collusion declarations, and worker's compensation certifications with their proposals.

The project is federally funded through FEMA and California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) grants, requiring compliance with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage determinations, federal procurement standards under Title 2 CFR 200, Byrd Anti-Lobbying provisions, and CEQA environmental requirements. The successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the contract amount, plus a one-year warranty bond equal to 10 percent of the final contract amount. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance naming the County as additional insured, and must adhere to all access requirements and security procedures established for the multiple County facilities involved in the project. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises are noted in the procurement documents, although federal procurement standards require affirmative steps to include such firms where applicable. The project schedule indicates design completion by February 27, 2026, with construction phases extending through November 2026 and final closeout by January 12, 2027; however, the total contract value or budget range for the miscellaneous metals portion is not disclosed in the available procurement documents.
