1995 University Parking Garage Water Drain Rust Repair

The project involves the preparation and repair of the existing parking deck surface at the 1995 University Parking Garage in Berkeley, California, with work focused on removing and replacing all area drains and installing a new traffic coating system on the surface-level parking area and ramps, extending to the trench drain at the transition to the below-grade section. Construction must be executed in four sequential phases to ensure continuous operational access to the parking facility throughout the duration of the work, with no full closure of the garage permitted. Bidders are required to demonstrate direct experience by providing documentation of three to five comparable pavement surfacing projects completed within the past seven years, each with a contract value of at least $750,000, including project descriptions, durations, contract values, and owner contacts. Preference is given to contractors with prior experience on University of California campuses or National Laboratories. All bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid site tour, hold a valid California Class “B” General Contractor license, and register with the California Department of Industrial Relations under Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1. Laborers must be paid the UC Fair Wage of $15 per hour and comply with prevailing wage laws. Proposals must be submitted electronically through BuildingConnected by August 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and an original bid bond must be physically delivered to the contracting office within two business days after the deadline. The estimated contract value is $750,000, and the award is likely to follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable process given the emphasis on strict compliance with mandatory qualifications and lump-sum pricing, though the method is not explicitly stated. The place of performance is 1995 University Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94704, with all contract administration handled by the University of California, Berkeley through its Capital Projects office.
