Otay WTP Raw Water PS Switchboard Replacement - Advertisement Notice Only (NO BIDS)

The City of San Diego is soliciting bids for the replacement of the raw water power switchboard at the Otay Water Treatment Plant, with all submissions required through its electronic bidding platform, PlanetBids, by September 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. This procurement is a municipal project under NAICS code 238210, classified as a SLED procurement with no federal contract clauses applicable, instead governed by local procurement policies and compliance forms unique to the City. The scope of work involves construction activities strictly aligned with the City’s technical standards, including the GREENBOOK, WHITEBOOK, City Standard Drawings, CALTRANS Specifications, and MUTCD, with performance evaluated across seven non-weighted but critically assessed areas including contract administration, workmanship, safety, stormwater BMP compliance, public outreach, and subcontractor management. The award process is not explicitly defined as LPTA or trade-off, but incorporates price incentives for Small, Emerging, and Minority Business Enterprises, suggesting a holistic evaluation where technical merit and cost are jointly considered. All contractors must register in the City’s vendor system prior to award, comply with stringent confidentiality requirements under San Diego Municipal Code sections related to protected personal information, and adhere to specific law enforcement notification protocols. Documentation must include certifications on debarment status, discrimination history, EEO compliance, and insurance documentation showing primary, non-contributory coverage. The place of performance is at 1500 Wueste Road, Chula Vista, with final acceptance determined solely by City-conducted testing against AASHTO, California Test, and PG binder standards, and no contractor-submitted data will override official results. Invoicing is required through the City’s Prism® portal, and all subcontractor substitutions are tightly restricted to specific justifications. No contract value, payment office details, or federal accounting codes are provided, and the solicitation does not reference any standard federal contract types or forms. Failure to comply with submission formats, confidentiality markings, or disclosure requirements may render a bid non-responsive.
