The City of San Diego is soliciting bids for the first phase of pressure reducing station upgrades, identified by solicitation number 20260630043, to replace, relocate, or abandon eleven existing and deteriorated pressure reducing stations across various locations within the city. The scope of work includes demolition of obsolete facilities, installation of new precast reinforced concrete vaults, and full integration of associated mechanical piping, pressure reducing valves, and appurtenances both within and external to the vaults. The project further requires installation of electrical systems, instrumentation and controls, cathodic protection systems, and comprehensive site work including excavation, engineered shoring, dewatering, backfill, and restoration of asphalt and concrete surfaces. Several work sites are situated within Caltrans right-of-way, necessitating adherence to specific state permitting protocols and implementation of coordinated traffic control measures. Work must comply with applicable local and municipal construction standards, including KCS Specifications and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan requirements, and will be subject to inspection and acceptance at the project site under the oversight of the City of San Diego. The contract is classified under NAICS code 237110 and is open to contractors registered in California with valid business licenses in relevant trades such as general building, concrete, electrical, and specialty classifications. A confidentiality agreement governs the handling of sensitive project information, obligating offerors to restrict access to confidential data, ensure subcontractor compliance, and destroy all materials within ten days after bid opening, with obligations extending indefinitely. The solicitation does not include financial details, evaluation factors, payment terms, accounting classifications, or formal contract type specifications, and no standard FAR clauses or attachments are referenced in the documentation. Performance is limited to locations within San Diego, California, with no specified delivery schedule, FOB terms, or contract value provided. The primary point of contact is the City’s Senior Contract Specialist, Brittany Friedenreich, and proposals are due by August 12, 2026. Offerors include a mix of small and emerging businesses, though no formal socioeconomic certifications such as 8(a), SDVOSB, or HUBZone are explicitly claimed or required.
