Furnish Labor and Materials For the Installation of Zinc Coated Ductile Iron Water Main in Bellefontaine St and Glenarm St - WD-23-05

The City of Pasadena, California, through its Water & Power Department, is soliciting competitive bids for the installation of zinc-coated ductile iron water main infrastructure in two specific street locations: Bellefontaine Street (from Pasadena Avenue to Fair Oaks Avenue) and Glenarm Street (from Arroyo Parkway to El Molino Avenue). The project involves comprehensive water main replacement, including trench excavation, traffic control, potholing, construction surveying, pipe installation, fire hydrant replacements, service line connections, and associated paving and restoration work. Bidders are required to have a Class A contractor's license from California and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. The bid was released on November 30, 2023, with sealed bids due by 3:00 pm on Thursday, December 21, 2023, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for December 5, 2023. The contract term is two years from execution, with a specified project completion timeline of 120 working days after the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must submit a bid security of 5% of the total bid price and provide electronic bid bonds through Surety2000, with comprehensive unit pricing for multiple line items across two separate work areas.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types beyond standard contractor qualifications. Bidders must complete various administrative forms, including a Relevant Experience Form documenting five previous similar projects, a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) form, and workforce utilization documentation. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the project requires extensive infrastructure work involving approximately 1,362 feet of 12-inch class 52 ductile iron pipe on Bellefontaine Street and similar infrastructure on Glenarm Street. The project will require integration with existing municipal water infrastructure, with provisions for abandoning existing 6-inch and 12-inch cast iron pipes. Contractors must comply with Pasadena Water & Power Department standard details, Los Angeles County standard drawings, and various technical specifications outlined in the comprehensive bid documentation. The project emphasizes local workforce engagement and requires detailed documentation of employment practices and potential local hiring.
