2025 Storm Drain Replacement Project

The City of Corte Madera is preparing a forecast for the 2025 Storm Drain Replacement Project aimed at repairing and replacing deteriorated corrugated metal pipes in its storm drain system that are at risk of failure. The work will focus on existing infrastructure within the town, with no expansion of roadways or addition of lanes, and is categorized as an exemption under CEQA Section 15301 for existing facilities. The project spans multiple locations throughout Corte Madera, California, with the place of performance specified as ZIP code 94925. While the project is publicly posted as a forecast with a notice date of November 14, 2025, and a filing date of November 12, 2025, no formal solicitation number, contract type, or estimated value has been established, indicating it remains in the pre-solicitation phase. Demetre Copeland, Assistant Engineer with the Public Works Department, serves as the primary point of contact, and oversight responsibilities rest with the City of Corte Madera as the lead agency. The project does not include detailed contract clauses under FAR, nor does it contain formal sections on evaluation criteria, pricing, delivery schedules, inspection standards, or special requirements such as key personnel obligations, contract options, or organizational conflict of interest provisions. No funding mechanisms, appropriation codes, invoicing methods, or payment offices are specified, and no solicitation instructions outline submission formats, deadlines, or electronic filing requirements beyond the need to attach a certified environmental exemption document. While compliance with California Public Resources Code Sections 21080, 21083, 21110, and 21152 is implied, no technical engineering standards for materials, construction, or quality assurance are referenced. The absence of a structured contract document suggests this is an early-stage notice intended to inform stakeholders and prepare for future procurement, with award determination criteria, contractor qualifications, and performance metrics to be defined in subsequent documentation.
