Engineering Services for Water Line Replacement Project FY25

The contract pertains to engineering services for the Water Line Replacement Project scheduled for Fiscal Year 2025 in the City of Hayward, California, a city governed by a City Council/City Manager structure with a population of approximately 155,675 residents and an annual operating budget totaling nearly $240 million. The City Council, composed of seven members including the mayor, oversees city operations through an appointed City Manager who manages 14 departments. This particular contract, issued by the City’s Utilities Department under solicitation number 26-041, seeks proposals for engineering expertise related to water infrastructure improvements, specifically the replacement of aging or deficient water lines. The solicitation was posted in April 2026 with a response deadline in early May 2026, and the point of contact is a Senior Utilities Engineer, with a Purchasing Manager available as a secondary contact. While the contract description centers on water line engineering in Hayward, supplementary document summaries mostly relate to pavement marking projects in the City of Naperville, Illinois, suggesting that solely within this context, key bidding and procedural elements like bid forms, specifications, compliance certifications, non-collusion affidavits, and safety and affirmative action certifications are standard components accompanying public works contracts. These supplementary details indicate that the Hayward solicitation will similarly require formal bid submissions, adherence to technical specifications and regulatory compliance (including non-discriminatory practices and affirmations such as non-involvement in nuclear weapons development), and engagement with city procurement platforms or portals for electronic bid submission. The contract supports maintaining essential city infrastructure and reflects Hayward’s structured governance and fiscal planning aimed at sustainable utility management for its 34,000 utility customers and nearly 48,000 housing units.
