Block Walls and Gates for Well Site 128, 131 and 201

The Victorville Water District is seeking qualified contractors to perform security improvement construction at three well sites (128, 131, and 201) within its jurisdiction in California. The core work involves building a 6-foot-high concrete masonry unit (CMU) block wall topped with 4-foot anti-climb spike extenders, with modifications at residential sites to address aesthetic and safety concerns, such as shorter spikes and pony walls for driver visibility. The project scope also includes removing existing chain-link fencing, installing automated slide gates and man gates, constructing concrete footings, and integrating automated gate operator systems with necessary electrical wiring. Additional site preparations include an 8-inch-thick concrete driveway, decorative landscaping at residential locations, temporary fencing during construction, soil overexcavation for proper compaction, and trimming or removing vegetation to facilitate the work. Contractors responding to this solicitation must adhere to waste management protocols detailed in the District’s Construction/Demolition Waste Recycling Plan to properly divert or dispose of materials like scrap metal, asphalt, concrete, and wood. Compliance with California’s apprenticeship standards is also mandated, with contractors required to utilize public works apprenticeship programs and notify relevant committees. The project is secured by a Faithful Performance and Payment Bond to guarantee contractor obligations and timely payment, including a one-year warranty period for repairing or replacing defective work. The solicitation was posted in March 2026 with a response deadline in late April 2026 and is managed by the District’s Engineering Office in Victorville, with designated contacts available for technical and financial inquiries.
