Avenue 50 Bridge Over Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel Improvement Project

The City of Coachella is soliciting bids for the Avenue 50 Bridge Over Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel Improvement Project, a public works initiative to transform Avenue 50 from a two-lane road into a four-lane arterial facility. The scope includes constructing a new five-span bridge over the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel, realigning Tyler Street, installing a traffic signal at the intersection, and reconstructing Concrete Slope Protection and the CV/Link multimodal pathway. Additional work encompasses new waterlines, concrete curb and gutter, hot mix asphalt paving, traffic signs, pavement markings compliant with the California MUTCD, and all associated utilities and infrastructure. The contract requires completion within 550 working days from the Notice to Proceed, with all work performed at the project site in Coachella, California, 92236. Bids must be submitted as sealed physical packages to the City’s engineering offices by 2:00 P.M. on August 19, 2026, with electronic submissions not accepted. Bidders are required to be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, hold a valid Class A contractor license, and comply with prevailing wage laws as determined for Riverside County, including posting wage rates on-site and submitting electronic certified payroll records under SB854. A 10% bid security in the form of cash, certified check, or bid bond is mandatory, and failure to meet this requirement renders the bid non-responsive. Upon award, the successful bidder must furnish performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the contract value, issued by a California-admitted surety. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, with no trade-off analysis between cost and technical factors. All contract documents, including plans and specifications, are available exclusively through PlanIT Planroom, and bidders are solely responsible for obtaining all addenda. No formal FAR clauses, accounting codes, invoicing systems, COR/COTR designations, or contract type specifications are included, as this is a municipal procurement governed by California Public Contract Code and Labor Code provisions.
