The Secondary Clarifier 3 Drive Replacement Project (MI 2646) requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to remove the existing non-functional Westech clarifier drive unit, including mechanical and electrical disconnections, and install a replacement City-furnished Westech Model 8050 drive unit, along with the reinstallation of the aerial walkway, new electrical connections, and full startup and testing of the system. All work must comply with Drawing Number 26-12A, Sheets 1–4, and the full set of Contract Documents, including Technical Specifications prepared by Phoenix Civil Engineering, Inc., dated May 2026, as well as referenced standards such as the City of Thousand Oaks Road, Water, and Wastewater Standards, Greenbook Specifications (excluding Sections 1–8), International Building Code, Uniform Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, and the National Electric Code. The replacement unit’s Operations and Maintenance Manual is an integral part of the requirements. The work must be completed within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, inclusive of two rain/inclement weather days, with a preliminary construction schedule due within ten days of award and 3-week lookahead schedules submitted weekly. The contractor is responsible for all delivery, storage, and handling in accordance with manufacturer instructions to prevent damage, with sensitive items requiring weather-tight, climate-controlled storage, and fabricated products elevated to avoid ground contact. The contract mandates strict compliance with California and federal laws, including the prevailing wage requirements as determined by the California Director of Industrial Relations, apprenticeship mandates under Labor Code Section 1777.5, and the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act. Contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations, hold an active California contractor’s license, carry workers’ compensation insurance, and certify compliance with immigration laws and the Iran Contracting Act. A site-specific Injury and Illness Prevention Program and adherence to CAL-OSHA safety standards are required, with all inspections and testing subject to City or Engineer approval, and the contractor bearing costs for failed tests or non-compliant work. The contractor must submit a Performance Bond and Payment Bond from an admitted California surety, maintain comprehensive commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $5 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate, and carry coverage for three years after contract completion.
