La Palma Alleys Sewer Improvement Project

The La Palma Alleys Sewer Improvement Project, solicitation RCP2023-21228, is a public works initiative by the City of Anaheim to address capacity and operational deficiencies within its sanitary sewer system. The primary objective is to replace outdated 6-inch diameter pipes with the current 8-inch minimum standard to mitigate root intrusion and offset joints. Additionally, the project focuses on resolving specific operational failures, including the removal of a siphon at the intersection of La Palma and Harbor and the correction of a previously unknown sag between manholes SW070319 and SW071102. The scope also includes the design of neighborhood greening and stormwater capture systems using modified tree wells and catch basins, with all work adhering to the Central Anaheim Master Plan of Sanitary Sewers and City Design Standards. The City utilizes a qualifications-based selection process to award the contract, ranking consultants based on their expertise and the qualifications of key personnel. Selected firms must provide a Preliminary Design Report and CAD drawings, while adhering to strict administrative requirements, including bi-weekly status reports and monthly invoicing tied to a Work Breakdown Structure. Compliance mandates include the use of California prevailing wage rates, Buy America requirements, and the submission of various certifications regarding non-collusion, non-lobbying, and equal employment opportunity. Final acceptance of the work is contingent upon the submission of CCTV inspection videos for all pipes exceeding four inches in diameter and the successful restoration of ADA ramps. Proposals must be submitted electronically via OpenGov by December 3, 2026.
