Anna Jean Cummings Water Line Replacement Project

The Anna Jean Cummings Water Line Replacement Project (Solicitation #2026-RP0038) is a public works contract issued by the County of Santa Cruz, California, to replace a leaking domestic water distribution system at Anna Jean Cummings County Park in Soquel. The scope of work involves the installation of approximately 925 to 1,300 lineal feet of new polyethylene tubing to replace an existing PVC line, abandoning the old line in place, and connecting the new system to the existing park water infrastructure. Additional requirements include site preparation, demolition, concrete paving replacement, and post-installation site work. The project aims to improve long-term reliability and reduce maintenance costs by relocating portions of the line to landscaped areas. The contract is awarded to the lowest responsible bidder based on a lump sum price, with an engineer's estimate of $277,000. Qualified bidders must hold a Class A license, be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations, and submit electronic proposals by October 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. PDT. The project must be completed within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed and includes a one-year guarantee for workmanship and materials. Key administrative requirements include a 10% bid bond, 100% performance and payment bonds, compliance with California prevailing wage laws, and adherence to the California Plumbing Code and ADA standards. Final acceptance of the work is subject to approval by the County Board of Supervisors.
