PW26-2

This procurement is a capital improvement project solicitation issued by the State of California for parking lot and pedestrian infrastructure enhancements at university facilities located in Humboldt County, specifically in the Humboldt Hill CDP. The project comprises two distinct components: the G11 project, which will improve the east portion of an existing university parking lot along with adjacent pedestrian walkways and street crossings, and includes new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking stalls, path of travel upgrades, and a new accessible shuttle stop; and the G14 project, which proposes infill development of an existing university parking lot with improvements to adjacent parking and pedestrian areas. All work will be performed in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by SHN, located at 812 W. Wabash, Eureka, CA 95501, with Jared S. OBarr, P.E. serving as the design engineer and available for contact at (707) 441-8855. The engineer's construction estimate for the combined project is $3,000,000.00. The proposal due date is May 1, 2026, with the opportunity posted on April 8, 2026, allowing bidders approximately three weeks to prepare and submit responsive proposals.

The procurement notice indicates that compliance with Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) requirements is mandated for interested contractors. Bidders must demonstrate capability to meet all applicable state and local standards, including ADA accessibility standards, California Building Code requirements, and Title 24 energy efficiency compliance. While the attached solicitation document references a commercial real estate lease for dormitory and training space in Byron, Contra Costa County—a geographically distinct project—this appears to be ancillary documentation. The primary budget allocation for the PW26-2 capital improvement project is established at $3,000,000.00, representing the engineer's construction cost estimate for both the G11 and G14 parking and pedestrian improvement initiatives.
