MI 2646 HCTP CCC Roof Caulking and FEB Joint Caulking

The project at the Hill Canyon Treatment Plant in Camarillo, California, involves the removal of all existing caulking from the concrete joints of the flow equalization basin and the removal of loose felt expansion joint material in the roof joints of the concrete contact channel, followed by substrate preparation in accordance with manufacturer guidelines or engineer direction. The work includes installing backer rod, bond breaker tape, primer, and caulking sealant to ensure watertight integrity, with all construction waste legally disposed of and the site thoroughly cleaned. Work must adhere strictly to the Greenbook Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and the project’s General Conditions, which govern contract administration, materials, inspections, and labor requirements. The bid must include detailed plans for two required 15-foot mock-up areas—one for each basin and roof joint—that will be selected by the City and subjected to adhesion testing per ASTM C1193 or ASTM C1521. All work must comply with Cal/OSHA safety standards, particularly regarding fall protection for elevated work, and must meet ADA accessibility requirements. The contractor is required to submit a site-specific Injury and Illness Prevention Program, adhere to prevailing wage laws under California Labor Code, and ensure all workers are properly registered and insured. The solicitation, issued by the City of Thousand Oaks Public Works Department under Project No. MI 2646 and Specification No. 2025/2026-34, is electronically submitted via the OpenGov procurement portal by August 12, 2026, with no paper bids accepted. Bidders must demonstrate at least three projects of similar scope and value—each $50,000 or more within the past five years—and specifically identify two projects involving caulking removal, preparation, and placement; failure to meet these criteria results in non-responsiveness. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose pricing reflects accurate cost allocation, with item cost (unit price multiplied by estimated quantity) taking precedence over unit price alone. Required bid security is 10% of the maximum bid amount and must be submitted electronically via Surety2000 or as a certified instrument to City Hall. Upon award, the contractor must provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds, carry $5 million in automobile liability insurance, and comply with workers’ compensation requirements. The project has a 75-calendar-day completion timeline from Notice to Proceed, with strict milestones including bond submission within 10 days and completion of all work
