Bay Breeze Fence Replacement Project

The Bay Breeze Fence Replacement Project in Watsonville, California, is a fixed-price lump sum contract solicited under PK-26-810-QB with a total estimated value of $200,000. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and incidentals to fully replace existing fencing along the project site, including demolition of old wrought-iron and wood fences, removal of foundations and damaged structures, and installation of new City-approved galvanized and powder-coated black wrought-iron fencing with welded joints and pre-fabricated panels. Construction also includes repair or reconstruction of a retaining wall on the north side using matching materials and techniques, as well as installation of a new Good Neighbor wood fence using redwood and pressure-treated cedar, coordinated with adjacent property owners. Temporary fencing, pedestrian and traffic control, site fencing, bathroom facilities, temporary power, and utilities must be provided and maintained throughout the project. All work must comply with Caltrans Standard Specifications and City of Watsonville Public Improvement Standards, including Best Management Practices for environmental protection, preservation of existing site features, and proper disposal of debris. Mobilization and demobilization are included, and all work must be completed within 30 working days of the Notice to Proceed. The contract includes three optional alternate work items—wood fence sealant application, retaining wall work, and the Good Neighbor wood fence—that the City may elect to award after bid evaluation, with no guarantee of inclusion. Bidders must submit a Statement of Experience, a List of Proposed Subcontractors, and a Non-Collusion Declaration under penalty of perjury, in addition to holding a valid California Contractor’s License and DIR registration. Certified payroll records must be submitted for all laborors, and contractors must notify the City Water Department and Dial Before You Dig (811) prior to any excavation. Insurance requirements include general liability coverage with an A-M Best rating of at least A-VII, naming the City as an additional insured with a waiver of subrogation. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder whose proposal is fully responsive and meets all technical, legal, and qualification requirements under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation. All submissions must be made electronically via the City’s OpenGov Procurement Portal by 11:00 a.m. on June 11, 2026, with a public bid opening hosted in person and streamed virtually.
