Replace culverts.

The California Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for the replacement of culverts along a designated stretch of roadway in Siskiyou County, California, between 2.7 miles east of Swillup Creek and 0.7 mile west of Doggett Creek, under solicitation number 02-1K8104. The estimated contract value is $550,000, with a performance period of 15 working days, and all proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline of May 28, 2026. The work is classified under NAICS code 237310 for highway and street construction, and the prime contractor must hold either a Class A general engineering license or a combination of Class C licenses (C-42 and C-8) to demonstrate capability in drainage and concrete infrastructure work. Compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is required, ensuring non-discrimination and promoting participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, though specific set-aside designations or socioeconomic certifications are not explicitly defined in the available documentation. The project is administered through Caltrans, with electronic bidding mandated via the Work with Caltrans portal and CaleProcure system, and no physical submission methods are permitted. All contract administration functions, including payment processing and technical oversight, are directed through Caltrans’ standard procurement channels, though specific details regarding the contracting officer, COR/COTR, invoicing system, or accounting codes are not provided. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at the project site in Siskiyou County, with compliance presumed to align with Caltrans standards, although no explicit technical specifications or quality benchmarks are listed. Packaging, marking, FOB terms, and detailed line-item costing are not addressed in the solicitation materials, and while the estimated value is stated, it is explicitly noted as non-guaranteed. Bidders are required to register in SAM.gov and provide a Unique Entity ID as a standard federal requirement, though this is not explicitly mandated in the posted text. The solicitation implies an LPTA award basis due to the nature of the work and absence of complex evaluation criteria, and all plans and specifications must be accessed and submitted digitally through Caltrans’ official procurement portal without reference to paper documentation or traditional attachment formats.
