Engineering Design Services During Construction for Bermuda Drive Bridge Project

Background The City of San Mateo is seeking proposals for Engineering Services During Construction for the Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project. This project aims to replace the existing bridge, which serves as a critical link between Fiesta Drive and Annapolis Drive, providing access to adjacent housing developments. The current bridge, constructed in 1954, has been found to have significant structural deficiencies and safety concerns, necessitating its replacement with a new design that enhances structural integrity and safety features. Work Details The selected consultant will provide engineering technical consultation during the construction of the Bermuda Drive Bridge Replacement Project. The scope of services includes: 1. Regulatory Permit Compliance: Ensure compliance with applicable permits including biological monitoring, dewatering activities management, and habitat restoration plans. 2. Coordination Services: Coordinate with utility companies and Native American tribes as needed. 3. Clarification and Interpretation of Contract Documents: Serve as a technical resource on design-related matters and respond to Requests for Information (RFIs). 4. Review of Submittals: Conduct technical reviews of shop drawings and material submittals for compliance with contract documents. 5. Construction Oversight and Field Visits: Provide professional engineering support through periodic field visits to observe contractor work. 6. Biological Support Services: Conduct biological monitoring during construction activities, including nesting bird deterrence and annual monitoring of plant cover. Period of Performance The project is scheduled to commence with utility relocation in January 2026, followed by two phases of bridge construction from April 2026 to February 2028. This will conclude with a three-year plant establishment period post-construction. Place of Performance The work will be performed at the Bermuda Drive Bridge over Borel Creek in San Mateo, California. Bidder Requirements Proposers must comply with federal regulations due to partial funding from Caltrans. There is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 8% participation for this project.
