Gum Tree & Knoll Park Pipeline Replacement

Fallbrook Public Utility District is requesting bids for labor, materials, tools, and equipment to complete the Gum Tree & Knoll Park Pipeline Replacement, with bids due October 7, 2026. The attached file references a separate City of Arcadia trash capture system installation project—a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit-mandated work involving field investigation, permitting, design, fabrication, and installation of trash capture devices in two County-owned catch basins on Lower Azusa Road in Arcadia, California, with a September 15, 2026 proposal deadline and December 14, 2026 completion date.

The Arcadia trash capture scope requires the proposer to conduct field investigations; obtain all permits from the City of Arcadia and Los Angeles County Flood Control District (with anticipated permit fees of approximately $5,180: $3,000 for review, $2,000 for inspection, $180 for issuance); and install systems meeting County and MS4 NPDES standards. The proposer must be a contractor with at least one year of prior business experience and demonstrated capability in designing, fabricating, installing trash capture systems, and obtaining necessary permits. The proposer must obtain a valid City Business License before commencing work and comply with all applicable insurance requirements and prevailing wage requirements if the project cost exceeds $25,000.

The Arcadia project Engineer's Estimate is $24,000. The City will issue one Purchase Order on a time-and-materials not-to-exceed basis with prices firm for one year from issuance. If the County denies the permit, the City reimburses only permit fees and pre-construction field investigation costs.

Evaluation criteria for the Arcadia proposal are experience and ability to perform specific tasks (25 points), demonstrated record of success on municipal work (15 points), timeliness of project schedule (15 points), and price (45 points). Questions are due September 8, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The Professional Services Agreement follows the City's standard contract template with possible negotiations.
