2026 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project

The 2026 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Bid #C9617) is a solicitation by the City of San Carlos, California, for the comprehensive rehabilitation of sanitary sewer infrastructure. The scope of work includes the installation, pipe bursting, reaming, or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) installation of 6-inch to 10-inch pipes, as well as the repair, replacement, or rehabilitation of sanitary sewer manholes and the reconnection of sewer laterals. The project concludes with the surface restoration of all affected improvements. Work will be performed across various locations in San Carlos, including Aberdeen Drive, Alameda De Las Pulgas, and several other residential and collector streets. The engineer's estimate for the project is between $6 million and $7 million. The contract is awarded based on the Lowest Responsible Bidder model, with responsibility determined by the bidder's financial strength, safety record, and experience on similar projects. Bids are due by July 14, 2026, and must be submitted as physical, sealed paper volumes to the Office of the City Clerk; electronic submissions are not accepted. Technical standards are governed by Caltrans 2010 Standard Specifications and the Greenbook, with specific material requirements adhering to ASTM standards for CIPP and HDPE. Key requirements for bidders include the submission of a non-collusion affidavit, drug-free workplace certification, and the designation of subcontractors including their DIR registration numbers. Final acceptance of the work is contingent upon successful post-construction CCTV inspections and exfiltration tests.
