Oak Avenue Utilities Rehabilitation Project

The Oak Avenue Utilities Rehabilitation Project is a municipal infrastructure initiative by the City of St. Helena, California, to replace and upgrade underground utility systems along Oak Avenue between Madrona Avenue and Mitchell Drive. The scope includes complete replacement of water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain facilities, along with an upgraded outfall structure at Sulphur Creek to handle revised stormwater flow. All work is restricted to previously disturbed areas with full restoration of surfaces upon completion, ensuring minimal environmental disruption. The project qualifies for CEQA categorical exemptions under Sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, which classify it as a routine replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities with minor land alterations. Though the announcement is published as a forecast with a posted date of October 9, 2025, no solicitation number, contract value, or financial details are provided. There is no indication of a formal bidding process, deadline, or submission requirements, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses are referenced or applicable. The City of St. Helena Public Works Department serves as the lead agency with Mario Traverso listed as Project Manager and Joe Leach, P.E., as Director of Public Works for coordination, though no formal COR, COTR, or PCO designations are stated. There is no mention of invoicing procedures, payment offices, accounting codes, or electronic submission systems. Technical specifications, performance criteria, inspection standards beyond CEQA compliance, packaging requirements, and socioeconomic or small business set-asides are not detailed. The place of performance is clearly defined within Napa County, California, with no FOB terms, delivery schedules, or timeframes established in the documentation, indicating this remains a pre-solicitation notice awaiting formal procurement steps.
