Annual Storm Drain System Repair & Improvements - FY26 (76920)

The City of Pasadena is soliciting bids for the Annual Storm Drain System Repair & Improvements project for fiscal year 2026. This project encompasses maintenance, repair, and replacement efforts across approximately 34 miles of storm drain infrastructure, which includes aging components such as 6,456 linear feet of corrugated metal pipe installed between 1925 and 1953, over 1,300 catch basins, and numerous culverts. Many of these facilities have deteriorated due to factors like soil conditions and age, resulting in inefficient stormwater management and increased risks. The scope of work is guided by recommendations from the FY2022 Storm Drain Master Plan and aims to address these deficiencies to improve system reliability and performance. The contract is structured as a federally funded labor and materials agreement governed by the City of Pasadena’s Public Works Department. It requires contractors to comply with California prevailing wage and equal employment opportunity laws and mandates appropriate bonding and insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and provisions for pollution liability. Bidders must disclose any civil litigation history and potential conflicts of interest, submit detailed qualifications demonstrating relevant experience, and agree to non-collusion declarations. The contract period, payment terms, change order processes, and contractor obligations are clearly defined to ensure compliance and quality in construction services. The opportunity is open without set-asides, with a solicitation deadline in March 2026 and contact points provided for technical questions and proposal submissions. Overall, the contract ensures a comprehensive approach to restoring and improving Pasadena’s storm drain infrastructure to meet current standards and operational needs.
