Shaw Field Irrigation Improvement

The City of Yuma is requesting bids on landscape and irrigation improvements for Joe Henry Memorial Park under RFB-26-333, with bids due July 16, 2026. The project is a design-bid-build scope located at the northwest corner of W. 1st Street and N. 23rd Avenue in Yuma, Arizona.

The work includes irrigation system upgrades, turf and drip irrigation installation, a new 3-inch irrigation meter and backflow preventer, decomposed granite placement, improvements for proposed soccer fields, and removal of approximately 8,500 square feet of turf along the south fence line. The contractor must submit a Critical Path Method construction progress schedule on or before the Notice to Proceed date, with monthly updates included in progress payment requests.

Substantial completion is required within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with final completion within 75 calendar days. Liquidated damages apply for delays: a specified daily rate for each day beyond the 60-day substantial completion deadline and 50 percent of that daily rate for each day extending beyond the 75-day final completion deadline, per MAG Section 108.9. Special damages covering the City's actual costs for construction management, architect/engineer services, and inspection forces apply for any day extending beyond the final completion date.

The contractor must maintain performance and labor/materials payment bonds, comply with E-Verify verification, meet equal employment opportunity and OSHA requirements, and comply with Arizona statutes regarding boycotts of Israel and forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs. The contract is governed by Arizona state law with exclusive jurisdiction in Yuma County Superior Court.
