Edgewick Road Improvement Project

The City of Glendale, located in Los Angeles County, California, is soliciting bids for the Edgewick Road Improvement Project (Specification No. 3975), a comprehensive roadway infrastructure enhancement initiative. The project requires a Class A contractor and involves critical roadway modifications, including clearing and grubbing, installing a pile wall system with steel H-piles and precast concrete lagging, removing existing pavement, regrading the roadway, and installing new asphalt concrete pavement and dike. Contractors must demonstrate substantial experience by having completed at least four prevailing wage public contracts in California within the past three years, with a contract value exceeding the bid amount. The bid deadline is set for May 21, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., with electronic bidding documents available through the City of Glendale's website and BidNet Direct. The project scope requires precise infrastructure improvements, including removal of damaged guardrails, installation of a new Midwest Guard Rail (MGS) system, and adjustment of existing manholes and utility valves to finished grade.

The contract has an estimated value between $800,000 and $900,000 and will be executed using the 2024 Edition of Standard Plans and Specifications for Public Works Construction. Bidders must submit several required documents, including a 10% Bid Bond, 100% Labor and Materials Bond, and 100% Performance Bond. The project mandates compliance with California labor laws, including prevailing wage rates, contractor registration with the Department of Industrial Relations, and apprenticeship standards. Contractors will be subject to liquidated damages of $3,600 per calendar day for project delays, with a contracted completion time of 30 working days. The City will reimburse the contractor for actual direct permit fees, and the contract includes provisions for administrative and coordination costs. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bidding requirements suggest a competitive and merit-based selection process focused on technical capability and past performance.
