About this opportunity
The Union Sanitary District in Alameda County, California is soliciting sealed bids for the Enhanced Treatment and Site Upgrade (ETSU) Program Campus Solar Facilities Project (Project No. 800-606), located in Union City. The comprehensive construction project encompasses demolition, environmental remediation, transport, and disposal across multiple technical disciplines including civil, mechanical, process, structural, architectural, HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, and electrical systems. Key deliverables include the installation of a minimum 200kW rooftop solar photovoltaic system, construction of a new covered storage facility, and comprehensive infrastructure modifications at the Alvarado Wastewater Treatment Plant. Bidders must possess a valid Class A General Contractor License and purchase a USB memory drive containing project documents for a non-refundable $75 fee. The project has a 365-calendar day timeline for substantial completion from the Notice to Proceed, with sealed bids due on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 21, 2025, and the Engineer's Estimate for the project is approximately $5,800,000.
The procurement is subject to multiple regulatory requirements, including compliance with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage standards, and potential Department of Energy funding guidelines. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors must complete a CARB Certification for In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets and adhere to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) documentation requirements. The project will involve integration with existing Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) electrical infrastructure and requires careful coordination with ongoing wastewater treatment plant operations. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including shop drawings, product data, coordination drawings, and detailed installation plans. Optional bid alternates include provisions for Builder's Risk Insurance and potential removal of BABA requirements. The solar facilities represent Phase 1A of the broader campus improvement efforts, with potential future expansions including electric vehicle charging station provisions.
