About this opportunity

OC Public Works is conducting a pre-qualification procurement for the Gilbert Street Improvements at Railroad Crossing (Phase 2) Project, which spans Orange County and involves infrastructure upgrades at a railroad crossing. The project requires contractors with a Class A California State Contractor's license to complete a comprehensive pre-qualification process to be eligible for bidding. Specific project deliverables include installing new traffic signals with railroad grade crossing protection devices, new railroad crossing gates, raised center medians, ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalks, asphalt roadway improvements, and concrete railroad panel restoration. The project has a targeted contract duration of 180 working days following the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated construction cost of $1,007,055.00. Key procurement dates include February 28, 2024, for pre-qualification questions, March 6, 2024, for pre-qualification packet submission, March 8, 2024, as the targeted bid release date, and March 20, 2024, for final bid submissions at 2:00 p.m. Contractors must electronically submit pre-qualification documents through OpenGov, with paper, fax, and email submissions not accepted.

The procurement requires contractors to possess specific qualifications, including a general liability insurance policy with $5,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 aggregate limits, current workers' compensation insurance, and a bonding capacity of at least $1,007,055.00. Pre-qualification is a pass/fail evaluation, with immediate disqualification for conditions such as license revocation, default termination, or criminal convictions related to government construction contracts. The project involves multi-agency coordination, including the County of Orange, City of Stanton, and Union Pacific Railroad, with the successful bidder required to enter a Right of Entry Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad. Prevailing wage requirements will apply to all work performed on County property, and contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. The project will be funded through OC Road Capital Improvement (Fund 174) and maintained post-construction by the County of Orange, City of Stanton, and Union Pacific Railroad. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the procurement emphasizes safety compliance, detailed documentation, and comprehensive contractor vetting.
