La Quinta Retention Basin Upgrades

The City of Yuma is soliciting bids for the La Quinta Retention Basin Upgrades project, identified as CIP Project No: 0427-STORM2 under contract RFB-26-340. The scope of work involves grading modifications to an existing retention basin, the installation of new catch basins, and the implementation of an 18-inch storm drain system. These upgrades will connect to a new storm water lift station designed to pump standing water from the 29th Lane Linear Park basin to an adjacent field to the east, thereby increasing the percolation rate and surface area for infiltration and evaporation to mitigate standing water nuisances. This Design-Bid-Build contract requires substantial completion within 120 calendar days and final completion within 150 calendar days following the Notice to Proceed. Award will be granted to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. The contractor must provide a statutory bid bond of at least 10 percent of the bid amount and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability and auto liability, naming the City as an additional insured. Key deliverables include record drawings, shop drawings, and operations and maintenance manuals, with all work adhering to ASTM, AASHTO, and MAG standards. The project is subject to municipal-specific provisions, including Arizona E-Verify compliance and strict adherence to safety and traffic management protocols.
