First Street Stormwater Pump Station Flood Relief Project

The City of Coronado is requesting sealed bids for the First Street Stormwater Pump Station Flood Relief Project, a storm drain infrastructure replacement and upgrade, with proposals due November 9, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference on October 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM at the project site near First Street and A Avenue in Coronado, California. This project carries prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code Section 1771.1(a) — a material cost and compliance filter.

The scope includes removal of the existing diverter pump, partial demolition and reconstruction of the existing storm drain diversion structure, installation of a pre-engineered fiberglass pump station (owner-furnished), pre-cast valve vault with valves and piping, installation of a new force main and check valves, partial demolition of existing electrical infrastructure, and new SDG&E electrical service. The work also requires preservation of existing or planting of new palm trees and compliance with storm drain best management practices. Three materials are sole-sourced with no "or equal" substitution: Val-Matic Check Valves, FleetZoom Model FZ400 Monitoring Equipment, and Flygt Pre-Engineered Fiberglass Pump Station.

The engineering estimate is $1,213,400. Bidders must hold a current California Class A General Engineering Contractor's License and be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations. Performance and Payment Bonds, each at 100 percent of the contract price, are required. Construction must commence no later than February 16, 2027, with anticipated Notice to Proceed by end of January 2027. The contractor has 80 working days after Notice to Proceed to complete work. A liquidated damages provision of $2,000 per calendar day applies for failure to meet the schedule. A one-year warranty on all work and three-year warranty on pumps are required, with completed operations insurance maintained for two years post-completion. Bid security of 10 percent of the Lump Sum Base Bid must accompany proposals. Requests for information are due October 27, 2026, with responses posted November 3, 2026.
