FY 2025-26 CDBG Street Improvements

The City of Hesperia, California, is soliciting bids for FY 2025-26 CDBG Street Improvements under solicitation number 20260806011, with a bid submission deadline of August 25, 2026. This federally funded project, administered under the Community Development Block Grant program, requires full compliance with federal regulations including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, affirmative action obligations, and labor standards enforcement. The scope encompasses all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete street improvements on public roadways within Hesperia, following the applicable Greenbook specifications, California Building Code, Title 24 energy standards, and other referenced codes. Performance is expected to commence within ten calendar days after issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with emergency conditions requiring immediate response. The project will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where price is the dominant selection factor, but bidders must be both responsible and responsive, demonstrating financial stability, technical competence, and past performance on similar public works projects. Bidders must hold a valid DUNS number, comply with Section 3 requirements for local hiring and business participation, and submit mandatory certifications regarding minority and woman-owned business enterprise status, federal lobbying activities, and past performance compliance. All materials must be delivered in original manufacturer containers with proper labeling, stored under weather-protected conditions, and protected from moisture, UV, and heat damage, though no specific MIL-STD packaging standards are cited. Inspections occur on-site and must be performed by licensed testing laboratories under California-registered engineers, adhering to ASTM standards for materials like rebar, grout, and fireproofing. The contractor is responsible for all inspection costs, subject to reimbursement of excessive costs resulting from delays or defective work. No CLIN, SLIN, or ELIN breakdown is fully detailed, and the total contract value cannot be determined from available data, though unit prices for electrical, plumbing, and carpentry work are listed. The award will be made to the lowest compliant bidder, with no trade-offs allowed between cost and technical merit. The City maintains oversight through its Engineer and Contracting Officer, with electronic submission of certified payrolls required weekly via approved methods. All submissions must be made through the PUBLIC PURCHASE online portal; paper bids are not accepted.
