Pierpont Nuisance Sand Removal

The City of Ventura is requesting proposals for removal of nuisance sand from the City-owned portion of Pierpont Beach between San Pedro Lane and Greenock Lane, with proposals due October 20, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. PST and a question submission deadline of October 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST.

The scope encompasses removal, grading, and hauling of sand from up to 27 beach access lanes and along the frontage of up to 17 private properties. Work occurs twice annually—once in May and once in November. Removed sand is transported to various deposit sites within the city jurisdiction. Estimated quantities are approximately 1,000 cubic yards for fall removal events and 2,000 cubic yards for spring removal events. The cost proposal must include unit prices for sand removal and hauling, contour grading at multiple deposit locations, and traffic control, along with hourly labor rates (foreman, operator, laborer, superintendent) and equipment rates (bulldozer, excavator, track loader, rubber tire loader, articulating dump truck). All costs must cover labor, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and incidentals.

The initial contract term is one year with City options to extend for four additional one-year increments, not to exceed five years total. Contractors must demonstrate at least three relevant references from local government clients within the past three years, maintain current California business licensing, and provide proof of workers' compensation insurance coverage and financial stability throughout the contract term.

Evaluation criteria weight ability to comply with project timeline at 5.0 points, price-to-value ratio at 7.5 points, experience with debris removal and related work at 3.0 points, and financial stability at 1.0 point, totaling 16.5 points. Proposers must submit one sealed hard copy and one PDF electronic copy to the Purchasing and Contracts Division at 501 Poli Street, Room 102, Ventura, CA 93001. Site visit is encouraged to assess existing conditions.
