About this opportunity
The City of Santa Barbara Fire Department is requesting lump-sum bids for vegetation road clearance in high fire hazard areas under Bid No. 6199, with electronic submissions due August 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. PDT. Bidders must hold a California DIR Public Works Contractor registration with a C-27 or C-49 license, a restrictive eligibility requirement that filters the bidder pool.
The scope requires vegetation pruning, limbing, thinning, and removal across multiple designated roads within the City's High Fire Hazard Areas (Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment Districts) to reduce flammable vegetation, enhance evacuation routes, and decrease emergency response times. The City has issued an interactive online map tool and attachments identifying specific roads and work boundaries; contractors must inspect all designated roads prior to bid submission, with no allowances for conditions that should have been discovered during site inspection.
The contract term is one year from award, with four optional one-year renewals, not to exceed five years total. A Payment Bond equal to 100 percent of the total bid amount is required if the award exceeds $25,000. Project start is scheduled for August or September 2026. Questions are due August 11, 2026; no pre-bid meeting will be held. Bidders must submit electronically through the City's eBidding system.
