Orange Coast College Old Recycling Center Demolition

The Orange Coast College Old Recycling Center Demolition project, solicitation number 2145, involves the complete demolition of an old recycling center structure, including concrete columns, curbs, curb ramps, catch basins, portions of fencing, and surrounding asphalt pavement and base. The scope requires the contractor to remove existing solar panels and deliver them to the campus M&O yard, coordinate the cutting and capping of utilities with the campus, and demolish and haul off a small wooden storage shed along with all site debris. Following demolition, the contractor must perform grading using 6 inch Caltrans class II aggregate surfacing over 90 percent compacted subgrade. The project was scheduled to begin on June 20, 2019, with a completion date of August 19, 2019. Bidders were required to hold a C-21 classification and maintain active registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations for labor compliance and prevailing wages. The solicitation process mandated electronic submission via the PlanetBids portal by May 29, 2019, and included a mandatory pre-bid walk on May 15, 2019. Comprehensive compliance documentation was required, including a bid bond of at least 10 percent of the total bid, a non-collusion affidavit, a drug-free workplace certification, and a certificate ensuring the use of non-asbestos containing materials. Additionally, contractors had to provide workers compensation certification and an experience modification worksheet, with an EMR greater than 1.35 rendering a bid non-responsive.
