About this opportunity
The City of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering is requesting bids for emergency pipe-and-board retaining-structure construction on Benner Street in the Highland Park residential area under an on-call geotechnical/structural services contract, with bids due October 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Bidders must be currently pre-qualified and registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to Senate Bill 854.
The scope includes constructing an 85-linear-foot, 5-foot-tall pipe-and-board retaining structure to restore lateral support to a sidewalk experiencing separation, uplift, and undermining; removing and replacing approximately 425 square feet of concrete sidewalk, 85 linear feet of curb and gutter, and an existing handrail; excavating and backfilling; and installing hydromulch for slope stabilization. The project is organized into 15 bid items.
The completion time is 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages at $640 per calendar day for delays. Fixed-cost allowances are established for Differing Site Conditions ($34,000) and Unforeseen Utilities ($20,000), which cannot be modified. Mobilization is capped at $16,000; any bid amount exceeding this threshold will be paid after project completion. Successful bidders must submit Payment and Performance Bonds each representing 100 percent of the total bid amount within five working days of award, along with proof of required insurance. All contractors and subcontractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, submit certified weekly payroll records to the Office of Contract Compliance, and comply with the Contractor Responsibility Ordinance, Child Support Obligations, and Buy Clean California Act requirements for eligible materials. Subcontractors must receive pre-approval from the Bureau of Contract Administration's SRI Section prior to commencing work. The City anticipates expedited award and project commencement, requiring immediate mobilization upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed and attendance at a pre-construction meeting.
Opportunity text
The project site is located on the south side of Benner Street in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles in a residential area approximately half a mile southwest of the intersection of York Boulevard and Figueroa Street. The sidewalk is exhibiting separation and uplift away from the curb for a length measuring approximately 45 linear feet, creating a gap as wide as 1.5 inches. The east edge of the sidewalk is also undermined 15 to 20 inches, creating a potential tripping hazard to pedestrian traffic. This project will mitigate the threat to public safety by constructing a new pipe and board retaining structure to restore lateral support to the sidewalk. The pipe and board will be 85 feet in length and 5 feet in height. The existing handrail will be removed and replaced. A portion of the sidewalk, curb, and gutter will also be removed and replaced. All proposed work is located within the public right of way.
