Pier Avenue Storm Drain Repair Project

The City of Pismo Beach is soliciting bids for the Pier Avenue Storm Drain Repair Project under solicitation number 20260722018, with responses due by August 20, 2026. The project involves the cleanout and relining of an existing storm drain system, reconstruction of 270 linear feet of driveway approaches, removal and replacement of eight concrete aprons, and implementation of temporary erosion controls, traffic control measures, and their subsequent removal. Work must conform to the 2024 and 2021 Greenbook Standard Specifications, the 2023 Caltrans Standard Specifications, and the California Building Code, with Special Provisions taking precedence in case of conflict. The contract is structured as a municipal construction agreement without standardized Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses; instead, it uses local section headings such as Scope of Work, Contract Documents, and Entire Contract. Bidders must submit a complete package including bid security equal to 10% of the bid amount, certified contractor’s license documentation, affirmative action certification, non-collusion affidavit, performance and payment bonds, workers’ compensation insurance, and other required forms through the PlanetBids portal exclusively—no email, fax, or hard copy submissions will be accepted. The award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder who meets all mandatory compliance criteria, including valid licensing, financial responsibility, insurance with an A- or higher Best’s rating, and registration with the Department of Industrial Relations, functioning as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procurement. The City Engineer serves as the primary technical overseer and certification authority for payments, while final acceptance is granted by the City Council. All materials must be stored properly to maintain quality, and the contractor assumes full responsibility for onsite and offsite storage, with off-site storage requiring prior approval. Insurance requirements mandate the City be named as additional insured with waiver of subrogation, and all subcontractors must meet the same obligations. Hazard communication and safety programs compliant with OSHA and California Labor Code are required, along with a Public Agency Notification Report coordinating with Caltrans, USPS, and the Air Pollution Control District. No contract value is listed as the bid schedule contains no filled pricing, and no UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required beyond DBE subcontractor disclosures. The project’s performance location is confined to Pier Avenue in Pismo Beach, California, with administrative oversight handled at 760 Mattie Road.
