The City of Yuma is soliciting bids for the 18th Street and Riley Avenue Improvements project, a federally funded Design-Bid-Build construction effort under CDBG Grant C.I.P. NO. CDBG-0004. The scope of work includes pavement replacement, curb and gutter improvements, sidewalk and ramp construction, driveway entrances with curb returns, and the installation of a concrete spillway and scupper. The project also includes bid alternates for additional pavement improvements along the southern portion of 18th Street. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the base bid and any selected alternates. Performance is subject to strict timelines, with substantial completion required within 45 calendar days and final completion within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of 430.00 dollars per day for delays in substantial completion. Because the project is federally funded, the contractor must comply with HUD 4010 Labor Standards, Wage Decision AZ20250050, the Davis-Bacon Act, and various federal civil rights and non-discrimination laws. Mandatory requirements include the submission of a Critical Path Method construction schedule, a 10 percent statutory bid bond, and performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract sum. Bidders must also provide certifications regarding anti-lobbying, conflicts of interest, and affirmative action status.
