HSIP 11 & 12: UNSIGNALIZED CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

The HSIP Cycle 11 and 12 Unsignalized Crossing Improvement Project, managed by the City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department, involves infrastructure enhancements at five specific locations across the city. The scope of work includes the installation of concrete curbs, gutters, curb ramps, roadway signs, pedestrian activated beacons, and the application of striping and pavement markings. All work must adhere to the 2025 State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, City Standard Specifications, and ADA standards. The project is scheduled for completion within 50 working days. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and licensed bidder based on the City's estimated quantities of work. Bidders must submit a comprehensive proposal package by November 5, 2026, including a non-collusion declaration, DIR compliance affidavit, and financial qualifications. The successful contractor is required to provide a Faithful Performance Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each equal to 100 percent of the contract price, within 10 calendar days of the award. Payment terms include a retention of 10 percent for work performed and 20 percent for unused materials delivered. Final acceptance of the project is subject to the recommendation of the Engineer and formal approval by the City Council.
