Main Street Well 3 & Newport Well 3 Improvements Project (2026/2027) - CIP No. 60177

The Main Street Well 3 and Newport Well 3 Improvements Project (CIP No. 60177) is a municipal construction solicitation issued by the City of Tustin Public Works Department. The project focuses on the rehabilitation and improvement of two water well sites, with a total engineer's estimate of $775,000 and a performance period of 150 days. The scope of work for Main Street Well 3 includes pump and motor testing, removal, and the conversion of the oil-lubricated lineshaft system to a continuous water-lubricated configuration. For Newport Well 3, the work involves electromagnetic casing-thickness analysis, the installation of new magnetic flow meters and motor-operated valves, and updates to electrical controls, PLC, and SCADA systems. The contract will be awarded to the apparent low bidder based on the combined total of the base bids for both wells and two fixed replacement differential allowances of $30,000 each. Eligible bidders must hold a Class A contractor's license and comply with California prevailing wage laws and Cal-OSHA safety regulations. Bids are due electronically via OpenGov by September 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with a requirement that original hard-copy bid bonds be delivered to the City Clerk. The contract includes liquidated damages of $1,000 per day and requires the submission of conditional and unconditional lien waivers for progress payments. Final acceptance is subject to a comprehensive 11-month warranty inspection to ensure compliance with design specifications and manufacturer standards.
