SB1 - Center & Acequia Street Rehabilitation

The City of Visalia is undertaking a pavement rehabilitation project along approximately 1.25 miles of Center and Acequia Avenues, extending from Willis Street to Santa Fe Street and including adjacent side streets such as Floral, Encina, Church, and Bridge. The project involves full-depth pavement repair, curb and gutter rehabilitation, installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps, and upgrades to traffic signal systems to enhance safety, accessibility, and overall corridor functionality. All work is expected to comply with standard public infrastructure practices in California, including federal ADA standards, Caltrans specifications, and MUTCD guidelines for traffic control. The project is administratively classified under CEQA Class 2, Section 15302(c), which provides a categorical environmental exemption for minor alterations to existing facilities, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact report. The solicitation is designated as SB1, indicating a small business set-aside, though no specific contractors or bids have been identified in the available documentation. The project’s place of performance is clearly defined as Visalia, California, with a ZIP code of 93291, and the City of Visalia serves as the sole contracting authority. The contract does not include any federal acquisition regulation clauses, as it is a municipal project under state jurisdiction and not subject to federal procurement rules. No formal contract value, pricing structure, CLINs, or payment terms are specified in the documentation, though an invoice reference to a $58 exemption fee appears for administrative tracking. The period of performance and award timeline are not explicitly defined, though the proposal deadline is October 27, 2025, with the solicitation posted on November 19, 2025. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities rest with the City of Visalia, with no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, or Procuring Contracting Officer formally identified. Jonathan Frausto, Associate Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact with an email and phone for inquiries, while Brandon Smith is listed as the Environmental Coordinator. There are no attachments, special contract requirements, or detailed submission instructions provided, and proposals are expected to be submitted to the City’s physical or email address without specification of format, media type, or volume structure. Accounting references such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are absent, and no formal invoicing system like WAWF or DFAS is indicated, suggesting local administrative processes govern payment and reporting.
