Stream Maintenance by Contractors (2025)

The City of Livermore's Community Development Department is seeking qualified contractors for a stream maintenance project located at the intersection of Arroyo Mocho and Holmes Street in Livermore, California. This procurement opportunity, identified as SD202523, requires a Class A licensed contractor to perform two primary tasks: bank stabilization at the north bank's downstream end and sediment removal adjacent to and underneath a bridge. The project is scheduled for implementation between September 5 and October 3, 2025, with a bid opening date of July 3, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Key deliverables include comprehensive sediment removal, bank stabilization, and strict adherence to environmental regulations, with multiple permits required from the US Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Regional Water Quality Control Board. The City will provide a biologist for environmental training and monitoring, and contractors must follow specific material handling protocols, including off-hauling gravel to the Zone 7 Material Stockpiling Yard and disposing of non-gravel materials at a certified dump site. City inspectors are expected to be present daily during the project's execution.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to qualified Class A licensed contractors with environmental and stream maintenance expertise. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project involves coordination with Zone 7 Water Agency, which will pause water releases to facilitate construction. The addendum suggests that the City will provide all necessary permits and access to the project site, including a key for the Material Stockpiling Yard. Although a precise budget range was not specified in the documents, the project's complexity, involving environmental permitting, sediment removal, and bank stabilization, indicates a potentially significant investment. Interested contractors should carefully review the attached Bid Specifications and Bid Plans, which total approximately 42MB, to fully understand the project's scope, requirements, and potential financial commitment.
