This public works project is subject to a mandatory 6 percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement — failure to meet this threshold renders bids non-responsive. A 5 percent small-business preference is available for California-certified small businesses or non-certified firms subcontracting at least 25 percent to certified small businesses, capped at a maximum $50,000 preference. DVBE incentives apply to participation exceeding the 6 percent minimum, subject to a combined incentive cap of $100,000.

The scope encompasses furnishing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to install the fishing dock and pier and construct concrete accessible park paths connecting to both structures. Contractors must hold California contractor license classification A or B. Prevailing wage requirements apply under California Labor Code sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.1. Public works contractor registration under SB 854 is required. Compliance with Executive Order N-6-22 regarding economic sanctions against Russia applies.

The engineer's estimate ranges from $1.1 million to $1.4 million. Contract term is 485 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with actual work performance required within 120 calendar days from the formal work-start date; physical work is constrained to occur between August 1, 2026, and March 1, 2027. A 10 percent bidder's bond is required for bids exceeding $5,000. Performance and payment bonds are required upon contract award.
