TMF Bus Wash Pressure Washer Plumbing Replacement

The City of Santa Clarita is soliciting competitive bids for the TMF Bus Wash Pressure Washer Plumbing Replacement project, a federally funded infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves removing and replacing approximately 154 feet of existing galvanized schedule 40 pipe and associated components for an Alkota 8151 pressure washer located at the Santa Clarita Transit Maintenance Facility. Qualified contractors must possess either a B or C-36 license and be prepared to provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, supervision, equipment, and vehicles to complete the services. Key deliverables include the complete removal of existing pressure washer plumbing and installation of new plumbing in the bus wash bay, with a mandatory one-year warranty on materials and labor. Critical procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held on April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM PDT, a final day for questions on April 16, 2025, at 11:00 AM PDT, and bid submissions due on May 5, 2025, before 11:00 AM PDT. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, licensing requirements, and compliance with federal funding guidelines.

The project has a 0% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal and requires contractors to be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. All bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including a bid bond, DBE participation forms, and various compliance certifications. Prevailing wage regulations will apply to this public works project, and contractors must verify employment eligibility for all workers. The engineer's estimated project budget is $21,000, representing a relatively modest infrastructure improvement investment. Contractors must be prepared to obtain necessary permits, maintain a clean work area, and comply with the city's standard Terms and Conditions, which include specific insurance requirements and legal provisions. The project is located in Los Angeles County, specifically in Valencia, California, and involves specialized plumbing work within a transit maintenance facility. Potential bidders should carefully review all contract documents, including Addendum No. 1, and be prepared to meet all technical and administrative requirements for this federally funded municipal infrastructure project.
