Sewer Main Replacement Program Project

The City of Arcadia, California is requesting sealed bids for the Sewer Main Replacement Program (Project No. 33861626) on Santa Anita Avenue, with bids due September 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. at the City Clerk's Office. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the base bid alone.

The scope involves replacing existing 8–10 inch sewer pipe between Christina Street and a manhole approximately 150 feet north of El Dorado Street with 12-inch HDPE pipe using pipe bursting methodology. All active laterals will be reconnected to the larger pipe, and existing road surface and striping will be restored upon completion. The contract duration is 90 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.

Bidders must hold a California Class A contractor license. All subcontractors must be appropriately licensed and registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations. The successful bidder must perform no less than 50 percent of the work with its own forces. Since total compensation is expected to exceed $25,000, prevailing wage rates established by the Department of Industrial Relations for Los Angeles County apply.

Bidders must submit a bid guarantee of no less than 10 percent of the total bid price as cash, a certified or cashier's check, or a bid bond from a California-admitted surety insurer. The successful bidder must furnish Faithful Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds, each equal to 100 percent of the contract price within ten working days of Notice of Award. Bids remain valid for 90 calendar days after opening. Bidders must comply with California Public Contract Code and Labor Code requirements, including debarred-subcontractor provisions, workers' compensation insurance, and Iran Contracting Act certification.

A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 19, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Public Works Services Department, 11800 Goldring Road, Arcadia.
