Rio Consumnes Correctional Center New Potable Water Tank

The County of Sacramento is soliciting bids from qualified contractors with a Class A license for the design and construction of a 350,000-gallon potable water prestressed concrete tank at the Rio Consumnes Correctional Center. The project scope includes site preparation, the construction of a surrounding gravel access road, and the installation of water lines and conduit to connect the tank to the existing water treatment facility. The contractor is responsible for providing design drawings and calculations sealed by a California-registered engineer. The estimated construction cost is 4,906,288.00 dollars, with a total completion time of 380 calendar days. Because the work is located within a secure correctional facility, all personnel must pass mandatory security background checks and adhere to facility regulations. The contract requires compliance with various technical standards, including AWWA D110 for tank construction and AWWA C652 for disinfection, as well as environmental mitigation measures for non-native tree canopies and Swainson's hawk nesting habitats. Bidders must submit electronic proposals via the SacCountyEbids portal by October 8, 2026, and attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting. Award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the base bid price plus allowance items. Key contractual obligations include providing performance and payment bonds, maintaining builder's risk insurance, and adhering to California prevailing wage and labor compliance laws. The contractor must perform at least 10 percent of the work with their own organization and implement a comprehensive waste management plan. Liquidated damages for project delays are set at 4,778.00 dollars per calendar day. Progress payments are processed monthly through the PaymentWorks portal following the submission of work estimates.
