FY 2026 - City of Berkeley Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation & Replacement Projects

The City of Berkeley is forecasting FY 2026 projects focused on the rehabilitation or replacement of aging sanitary sewer infrastructure, including mains, service laterals, and manholes, across more than 50 locations throughout the city. Work will primarily employ trenchless technologies such as pipe bursting and installation of fiber-reinforced plastic pipe, with open trenching reserved for areas where trenchless methods are impractical. The project is categorized under a CEQA Class 15302 categorical exemption for the replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities, eliminating the need for full environmental review. Performance is limited to Berkeley, California, with inspections and acceptance occurring directly at the job sites where work is completed. The City’s Public Works Department, led by Francisco Alonso as the primary point of contact, is responsible for oversight and approval, though no formal contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative designations are provided. No contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms are disclosed, and no official solicitation or contract number has been issued. The project is not subject to federal acquisition regulation clauses, and no details on evaluation factors, subcontracting preferences, socioeconomic set-asides, or contractor certifications such as UEI or CAGE codes are included. Payment for related fees is processed through the Alameda County Clerk’s office, but no formal contract payment procedures or invoicing systems are outlined. The scope is defined by a list of project locations and environmental documentation, with no specifications for materials, quality standards, packaging, delivery terms, or special requirements beyond compliance with CEQA and standard municipal sewer rehabilitation practices.
