5785 ECMC SIR ET Non-Structural Performance NPC5

Solicitation SD250404 is a CM at Risk project managed by Align Builders for the UC San Diego Medical Center East Campus. The project involves the installation of a new water supply well to provide industrial water for a cooling tower, with an estimated construction cost of 600,000 dollars. The scope is divided into two primary phases: an initial phase to drill a pilot borehole to determine site viability and available gallons per minute, followed by a construction phase where the subcontractor will provide a final design and proposal based on the pilot results. A key requirement is that the installed pump must be capable of running on temporary power for flow verification. The total project duration for the NPC5 initiative is 865 calendar days, running from November 18, 2026, to March 29, 2029. The contract will be awarded based on a Best Value process, selecting the bidder with the optimal combination of price and qualifications. Bidders must be prequalified and hold a current and active contractor license. The submission process is split into three parts: a technical proposal due by October 8, 2026, and separate bids for the pilot borehole and final well construction due by October 15, 2026, via Building Connected. Evaluation will include project team interviews and a review of anticipated construction costs. The project is subject to Department of Industrial Relations compliance monitoring and requires adherence to non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity policies.
