The City of Sunnyvale is requesting bids on construction of a new Clean Water Center building and perimeter flood wall at the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant under a combined lump-sum bid package, with bids due November 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM PDT. The project qualifies for California Department of Industrial Relations (CADIR) registered DIR public works contractor preferences.
The Clean Water Center scope includes an approximately 30,000 square foot, two-story administrative, water quality laboratory, and maintenance building designed to LEED Gold equivalency standards, replacing an existing 1980s-era administration building. The perimeter wall component encompasses approximately 2,300 linear feet of retaining wall for flood protection (99% coastal flood event resilience) and security fencing, connected to a recently constructed eastern perimeter wall. Additional scope includes demolition of the existing building and temporary trailers, site utility relocations, landscaping and roadway improvements within the WPCP and along Carl Road, temporary facilities to house staff during construction, and IT and networking improvements. The perimeter wall project will be cost-shared with Santa Clara Valley Water Authority per an inter-agency agreement that includes schedule commitments; liquidated damages are specified for the Joint Wall portion.
The project will execute through two phases: a partial Notice-to-Proceed (NTP No. 1) and a full Notice-to-Proceed (NTP No. 2). Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 10 percent of the bid amount; performance and payment bonds are each set at 100 percent of the contract value.

The Q&A period closes November 4, 2026 at 3:00 PM PDT.

The City of Sunnyvale is seeking services of a qualified general contractor for the construction of the new Clean Water Center building and Perimeter Wall project at the Sunnyvale Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) in a combined bid package that has started advertising in early October 2026. The Clean Water Center (CWC) is a new administrative, water quality laboratory, and maintenance building at the City's WPCP that has been designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council LEED Gold rating requirements. The CWC will consist of an approximately 30,000 square foot, two-story building to replace the existing administration building that was originally constructed in the 1980s with various upgrades made throughout the years. The consolidated CWC facility will address key administrative, compliance, and operation and maintenance (O & M) functions while providing a more inspiring and productive working environment for staff. Additional project scope items include landscaping and site and roadway improvements within the WPCP, along Carl Road, and at the Recycle Yard. The project also involves site utility relocations, temporary facilities complex improvements to house staff during construction, and information technology (IT) and networking improvements. In the same bid package, the Perimeter Wall project includes around 2,300 linear feet of retaining wall that will connect to the recently built eastern Perimeter Wall to provide a comprehensive flood protection system around the WPCP site that is needed to keep the WPCP dry during 99% of coastal floods.

For the City of Sunnyvale, the project will also provide security benefits to the WPCP and groundwater intrusion barrier from surrounding high groundwater levels. The project also involves, security fencing on top of the new wall, hydrostatic flood gates, new utility installations, wall penetrations at certain locations for utilities, and provisions for rerouting public access to the Bay Trail during construction work
