Santana Press Box

The project involves the demolition of an existing press box and the construction of a new 8-foot by 30-foot prefabricated press box at Santana High School in Santee, California, under the Grossmont Union High School District. The scope includes installing new drilled pier foundations, a structural steel support system with stairs and catwalks, and the full integration of the prefabricated unit. Additional site work is required to establish an accessible path of travel, including new asphalt and concrete paving, fencing, and the installation of a new drinking fountain. Existing men’s and women’s restrooms must be upgraded to meet current accessibility standards. All work must comply with the California Electrical Code, CalGreen, the California Fire Code, and other applicable state and local regulations, with materials and installations subject to strict inspection and acceptance criteria at the project site. Final acceptance is formally granted by the Governing Board of the School District after review by the Architect and Special Inspectors. The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, requiring bidders to be both responsible and responsive to meet minimum technical standards before price determines selection. Bidders must hold a valid California contractor’s license, provide performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract sum issued by a Treasury-listed surety, and comply with labor laws including OSHA standards and weekly itemized wage statements. A 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation goal is mandatory, requiring documentation of outreach efforts if unmet. The project must be completed within 91 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with five rain days and five quiet/testing days allowed under district control; liquidated damages of $1,000 per day apply for delays beyond the deadline. All submissions must be delivered in person as sealed physical packages to the District’s designated location, with no electronic, faxed, or emailed bids accepted. Contractors must coordinate all deliveries to avoid disruption on active campus grounds, store materials properly to prevent damage or deterioration, and submit comprehensive closeout documentation including warranties, maintenance instructions, final cleaning verification, test reports, and as-built records. The contract does not specify a total value, but includes two $50,000 allowances for unforeseen low voltage and utilities. No federal acquisition regulation clauses are incorporated, and no contracting officer’s representative, payment office details, or accounting codes are identified; payment is processed manually through AIA Form G702 following approval by the Construction Manager and District.
