Pothole Utilities For Garden Highway Improvements Project

Solicitation 1341-PH-26 is a project for the City of Yuba City, California, focused on potholing utilities for the Garden Highway Improvements Project. The contractor is required to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to locate underground water, gas, telephone, fiber optic, and communication facilities. The scope involves excavating to a maximum depth of five feet to obtain accurate horizontal and vertical locations and pipe diameters, with each pothole limited to 10 inches in diameter. The contractor must use damage-preventing methods to expose the top and bottom of utilities and perform all necessary pavement restoration. The project is funded through local, state, and federal sources, requiring strict adherence to Government Code 4216, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and City of Yuba City design standards. Key operational requirements include holding a pre-construction meeting with the City Construction Inspector one week before starting, notifying affected residents and businesses seven days in advance, and placing no parking signs 72 hours prior to work. The contractor bears full responsibility for any utility damages and must immediately cease work and notify the city if suspected contaminated materials are encountered. All work must be performed in Yuba City, California, and the final worksite must be left in a clean condition acceptable to the Engineering Representative.
