Connect Coachella City Project No. St-138

The City of Coachella is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering firms to complete the final Plans, Specifications, and Engineer’s Estimates package for the Connect Coachella Project (ST-138), which aims to implement bicycle infrastructure improvements along Grapefruit Blvd between Avenue 48 and Avenue 54, and Avenue 54 between Van Buren Blvd and Polk Street. The project involves finalizing existing plans that are currently at 50% completion, with deliverables including fully developed construction documents and a detailed cost estimate. Proposals must be submitted in two sealed envelopes by 2:00 p.m. on July 30, 2026, to the City’s designated point of contact, with the technical qualifications submitted first in Envelope No. 1 and the cost proposal in Envelope No. 2. Only shortlisted firms will have their cost proposals opened for evaluation, following a trade-off process where technical merit is assessed before cost considerations. The place of performance is Coachella, California, with all work required within the city limits. The solicitation does not specify a contract value, nor does it include federal acquisition regulation clauses, but funding is contingent upon availability. Offerors must comply with standard engineering practices and project-specific requirements referenced in Appendices A and B, though explicit adherence to standards like MUTCD or AASHTO is implied rather than mandated. Submission is strictly physical, with no indication of electronic submission being allowed, and no contract administration personnel such as a COR or PCO are named. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541330, indicating engineering services, and while the size standard is $16.5 million in annual receipts, no socioeconomic certifications or UEI/CAGE requirements are explicitly mandated in the provided documentation.
