GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR CAYUCOS CONCRETE PAVEMENT & STAIRS REPAIR

The County of San Luis Obispo is soliciting proposals for professional geotechnical engineering services for the Cayucos Concrete Pavement and Stairs Repair Project located near the Cayucos Pier in California. The primary objective is to characterize subsurface conditions and provide engineering recommendations to support the design and construction of various improvements, including the replacement of concrete pavement subbases, pedestrian pavement, stairway railings, and concrete masonry site walls. The scope also includes repairing retaining walls, extending the foundation for a cantilevered storage building, replacing curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, and addressing ADA deficiencies. A critical focus of the services is addressing the repeated wave action that has washed away sand beneath concrete slabs, causing cracking and collapse. The contract is valued at less than 200,000 dollars and requires the selected firm to provide a draft geotechnical memorandum and a detailed baseline schedule. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format by 3:00 p.m. on October 8, 2026. Evaluation is based on the firm's qualifications, the completeness of the proposal, and the proposed schedule, with a preference given to local vendors with a physical office in San Luis Obispo County. The selected consultant must adhere to strict quality control procedures, provide a QC-QA statement on all submittals, and comply with California Public Records Act and prevailing wage requirements. Payment is processed within 30 days of certification, and the consultant is responsible for meeting all County insurance and indemnification requirements.
