Ellis Lake Park Enhancement Project

The Ellis Lake Park Enhancement Project involves a comprehensive overhaul of the eastern shoreline along Ellis Lake in Marysville, California, extending from 10th Street north to 14th Street. The work includes replacing the existing path with a wider combined concrete sidewalk and precast concrete boardwalk, alongside tree removal, relocation of park lighting, and significant landscaping modifications. New amenities such as fishing benches and trash receptacles will be installed, and Gazebo Island will be upgraded with a new accessible path and pedestrian bridge, along with enhanced landscaping. Additionally, a new play area will be constructed off 11th Street on the lake’s east side. The project demands full compliance with the California DOT Standard Specifications (2023), ANSI standards for nursery stock and tree maintenance, and guidelines from authoritative horticultural references. Work must be performed in accordance with detailed special provisions that override standard specifications where conflicts arise, and all materials and methods must adhere to strict environmental, safety, and labor requirements, including California’s prevailing wage laws and the use of domestically sourced materials. The contract mandates a one-year establishment period for landscape survival, during which the contractor is responsible for maintenance and repair, followed by a one-year warranty. The solicitation, issued as Bid #25-10 under solicitation number 20260721010 by the City of Marysville Public Works Department, is structured as a municipal construction contract with no application of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses. All bids must be submitted as sealed hard copies to the City Clerk’s Office by 1:30 PM on August 13, 2026, with supporting documentation such as product data and as-built drawings acceptable in digital PDF format.

Contract administration is overseen by the City’s Owner’s Representative and Engineer, with retention held at five percent, subject to substitution with securities. No DBE goals are set, but subcontractor disclosures are mandatory, and all parties must comply with California Labor Code requirements, environmental spill plans, traffic control standards, and a waiver of subrogation in workers’ compensation coverage. The project is not classified under federal contracting mechanisms, and no CLIN, SLIN, or total estimated value is provided within the solicitation, leaving the final contract amount to be determined by
