Civic Annex Condenser Replacement Project

The City of Oxnard is soliciting bids for the Civic Annex Condenser Replacement Project under specification PW 26-112, requiring the full removal and replacement of an existing Carrier 38AH-104 air-cooled condenser unit at a commercial building located in Oxnard, California, with a zip code of 93030. The work must be completed within thirty working days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed, and failure to meet this timeline will result in liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement with award based solely on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, meaning the lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be selected without consideration of technical merit, past performance, or other non-price factors. Bidders must hold a valid California Class C-20 contractor’s license, maintain an active City of Oxnard business license, and be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, including compliance with prevailing wage requirements and electronic certified payroll reporting under California Labor Code provisions. Bid submissions must be made electronically through the PlanetBids portal by the deadline of August 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with bid security equal to 10% of the bid amount submitted either as cash, certified check, or bond directly to the City Clerk’s Office at 300 West Third Street, Fourth Floor, Oxnard, CA 93030. Performance and payment bonds totaling 100% of the contract value are mandatory and must conform to the Greenbook Section 1-7.2 standards, with provisions for automatic adjustment for contract modifications. A five percent retention of progress payments is required, which may be substituted with eligible securities, and work must comply with state safety regulations, DIR wage posting obligations, and all project-specific contract documents. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, and no small business set-asides or socioeconomic preferences apply. While the contract does not include formal FAR clauses, it enforces state-mandated compliance and administrative procedures through locally drafted provisions, with all inquiries directed to Akilah Saxton or the Public Works email address. No FOB terms, packaging directives, or military standards are specified, and the contract does not include options, extensions, or key personnel requirements.
