RFB - COUNTYWIDE CULVERT REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

The County of San Diego is soliciting bids for RFB 13291, a countywide project for the repair and replacement of existing culverts associated with annual resurfacing projects. The work spans unincorporated areas across Supervisorial Districts 1 through 5 and is divided into two primary project periods: FY20-21 (Oracle Project 1023457) and FY21-22 (Oracle Project 1025095). The scope of work includes the installation of reinforced concrete and corrugated steel pipes, the construction of headwalls, rip rap energy dissipators, minor asphalt and concrete work, site restoration, and traffic stripe painting. Technical guidance for the project is supported by extensive potholing reports from Utility Surveyors, Inc., which document underground utility depths and alignments to prevent conflicts during excavation. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a total fund amount of 6,259,346.75 dollars. Bidders must provide a bid security of at least 10 percent of the maximum bid amount, and the successful contractor must furnish performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract value. Key compliance requirements include adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act, CAL-OSHA safety standards for excavations exceeding five feet, and a 3 percent Small-Local Business Subcontractor Participation requirement. Following several addenda, the final bid opening is scheduled for September 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM PDT, with submissions accepted via BuyNet or sealed envelope.
