Benicia Marina Breakwater Repairs

The Benicia Marina Breakwater Repairs project involves comprehensive structural rehabilitation of the breakwater located at the main entrance to the Benicia Marina Basin from the Carquinez Strait. The scope includes replacement of the northwest section of the breakwater wall, repair and replacement of vertical and batter concrete piles, sheet piling, timber dolphin piles, steel channel and pile caps, steel wale components, and associated hardware. The tidal gate will be modified with replacement of the steel door and cleaning and epoxy coating of the frame, while all signage will be replaced. The work must adhere to industry standards including ACI 301, ACI 318, ACI 347R, APA PS-1, and WCLIB No. 17, and all materials and workmanship must meet the highest grade for durability and performance. Substitutions for specified materials require formal approval using the Substitution Request Form and must match or exceed the original performance, dimensions, and durability. The contract operates on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, with award going to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who meets all technical and compliance requirements. The project is under the jurisdiction of the City of Benicia, with performance occurring at the Benicia Marina, and requires full compliance with strict site-specific safety and security protocols including a certified safety program, prohibition of weapons and intoxicants, mandatory site access logs, and enforced conduct rules regarding workplace behavior and vehicle signage. Packaging and preservation standards mandate export packing suitable for damp storage, separate containerization of spare parts with full labeling, climate-controlled storage for sensitive equipment, and lubrication maintenance for moving parts. All submissions must include both hard copy and electronic versions in PDF format with chapter bookmarks, delivered via the City’s procurement portal with required certifications including DIR registration, worker’s compensation compliance, prevailing wage adherence, non-collusion, and non-disqualification. No federal entity identifiers such as UEI or CAGE codes are required, reflecting a state-level procurement process. The contract time begins 60 days after Notice of Award or as specified in the Notice to Proceed, with performance milestones tied to submittal approvals, testing, punch list resolution, and submission of as-built documentation. The City retains full authority for inspection and final acceptance at the site.
