CV Link Cable Railing Project

The Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG) is soliciting bids for the CV Link Cable Railing Project (Solicitation No. CV-2027-IFB-01) to install cable railing at the Adams Street undercrossing in La Quinta, California. The primary scope involves the installation of approximately 450 linear feet of railing, with additive alternate items for up to 1,000 additional linear feet at other CV Link locations if authorized via Task Orders. The project requires a contractor with a C-13 Fencing Contractor license and compliance with California prevailing wage laws and DIR registration. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the total base bid. The contractor is responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, and traffic control, ensuring the CV Link remains open with only partial width closures during work hours. Technical specifications require adherence to Caltrans Section 83-2.10 and ADA standards for accessible design. Specific aesthetic requirements include galvanization of steel parts and a color-coded powder coating system: white for rails and brackets, sky blue for eastbound-facing posts, and bright red orange for westbound-facing posts. The initial work must be completed within 60 calendar days, though the total contract term is 365 days. Liquidated damages are set at 3,600 dollars per calendar day. Bids are due by 1:00 PM PDT on October 8, 2026, and must include all required certifications, bid bonds, and the completed bid schedule.
