Green Pleasure Pier Deck Replacement

The City of Avalon, California is requesting sealed bids for replacement of approximately 15,000 square feet of decking on the Green Pleasure Pier located adjacent to Crescent Avenue under IFB Contract No. 2026-267006, with bids due September 9, 2026 at 1 p.m. at the City's Office of Public Works.

The scope consists of removal and replacement of pressure-treated 4 by 10 timber planks (Douglas Fir, Lumber Grade No. 1 or No. 1 Prime), with potential scope expansion to include replacement of stringers and pile caps if structural deficiencies are discovered during removal. Work must be phased to maintain access to commercial, recreational, and public safety operations. The contract requires compliance with coastal preservation and water quality management practices specific to the marine environment. No heavy equipment larger than a telehandler is permitted on the pier without an approved weight redistribution plan; equipment lay-down yards are available at South Beach and Third Street in Avalon.

All contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations and comply with prevailing wage requirements. The successful bidder must provide Performance and Labor and Materials Payment Bonds each equal to 100% of the contract price, secured from a California-admitted surety, and must submit a bid guarantee of not less than 10% of the total bid price.

The City will award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the Base Bid total. The contract term is 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed (work may commence after October 5, 2026). Liquidated damages are $1,000 per calendar day for contractor-caused delays and reverse liquidated damages of $250 per day for City-caused delays. Bids remain valid for 90 calendar days after opening. Questions are due Monday, September 1, 2026 at 1 p.m. Site tours may be scheduled by contacting Robert Greenlaw at bgreenlaw@cityofavalon.gov; no pre-bid conference will be held.
