2026 Morgan Hill Water Main Replacement Project

The 2026 Morgan Hill Water Main Replacement Project (WA6005) is a municipal infrastructure solicitation issued by the City of Morgan Hill, California, with an estimated construction cost of 450,000 dollars. The scope of work involves critical water main improvements across three primary locations: the access road to the Oak Canyon Tank, Circle Lane, and the intersection of East Main Avenue and Laurel Road. Key activities include abandoning existing water mains, installing new 8-inch water mains and valves, providing new 1-inch water services to existing meter boxes, and performing necessary AC Berm restoration, backfill, trench restoration, and slurry seal. The project is expected to begin around January 2027 and must be fully completed within 75 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Bidders must submit signed and sealed proposals by October 20, 2026, including a bid security of 10 percent of the maximum bid amount. The City will evaluate apparent low bidders based on a questionnaire focusing on business experience, project history, and safety records, including Experience Modification Rates and OSHA compliance. Awarded contractors are required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract price and adhere to prevailing wage requirements. Key deliverables include a Water Line Replacement Logistics Plan, a construction schedule, and resident notifications. Payment is subject to a 5 percent retention, with final payment released between 35 and 60 days following the recordation of the notice of completion and project acceptance.
