2027 Drainage Improvements Project

The City of Pismo Beach is soliciting engineering design services for the 2027 Drainage Improvements Project located along Placentia Avenue and Boeker Avenue in Shell Beach, California. The project aims to mitigate premature pavement deterioration and improve groundwater conditions through the design of surface concrete and flowline improvements, drain inlets, longitudinal underdrains, and new solid wall trunkline storm drains. The scope further includes roadway repairs such as mill and overlays and striping plans aligned with the City’s Pavement Management Plan. The selected consultant will be responsible for conducting a geotechnical investigation, performing survey monument research, and producing final construction drawings, specifications, and bid documents. This is a Time and Materials contract with an estimated value of approximately 4.75 million dollars. Proposals are due by August 27, 2026, via the PlanetBids portal. Award decisions will be based on a trade-off evaluation focusing heavily on management, personnel, and experience, which accounts for 50 percent of the total score, followed by the understanding of the scope, proposed methods and schedule, risk mitigation strategies, and past performance with agencies. The successful vendor must adhere to strict insurance requirements, including professional liability and workers compensation, and ensure all work complies with CA MUTCD, NPDES stormwater regulations, and the Greenbook specifications for public works construction.
