POTOMAC PARK REVITALIZATION

The Potomac Park Revitalization project involves a comprehensive range of site improvements aimed at upgrading park infrastructure and amenities. Work includes sitework modifications to existing features, path of travel enhancements, construction of a new parking lot, installation of a prefabricated restroom building, alterations to an existing picnic shade structure, addition of shade sails and a splash pad, development of a dog park, construction of a pavilion, installation of basketball courts and a soccer field, implementation of irrigation and landscaping systems, and placement of lighting throughout the facility. The project is being solicited under CS26-0001 by the Kern County GS Construction Services Department of Kern County, with bids due June 23, 2026, and a required bid bond of 10 percent. Four optional alternate bids are available to expand or modify the scope of work. Alternate Bid 1 proposes replacing the existing property line fence with a concrete block wall and mowstrip, while Alternate Bid 2 offers a chain link fence as a more cost-effective option. Alternate Bid 3 includes the installation of a swing set with associated sitework outlined on partial plan J Sheet A1.33, and Alternate Bid 4 adds three specified shade structures designated as “A,” “B,” and “C.” The water tank enclosure is included in the base bid with an anti-graffiti coating, and all alternates are to be considered independently. The project falls under NAICS code 237990 and is administered by the state of California through the Kern County agency, with Tressie Herrera as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
