South Main Street Crosswalk Art Installation

The City of Santa Ana is soliciting proposals for the design and installation of six crosswalk art installations along South Main Street, specifically at intersections with Walnut Avenue, Pine Street, and Pomona Avenue. The project requires precision sandblasting within designated 10-foot-wide, gutter-to-gutter areas and demands full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations including RCRA for hazardous waste, CARB Fleet Compliance, Cal OSHA standards, and the City’s Community Workforce Agreement for contracts exceeding $750,000. All submissions must be made electronically through the PlanetBids portal by 2:00 P.M. on August 13, 2026, with no exceptions for late or improperly transmitted bids. Proposers are solely responsible for ensuring system compatibility, internet stability, and correct electronic submission, and must include an executed bid bond equal to 10% of the proposed contract amount. Required attachments include certifications on debarment, non-lobbying, non-discrimination, non-collusion, CARB compliance, subcontractor designation, and a proposer’s certification regarding local business status, with documentation of California DGS small business certification needed to claim local preference. The evaluation process is based on a trade-off methodology, weighing technical approach and methodology (30 points), qualifications and experience (30 points), proposed staffing and resumes of key personnel (25 points), organization and completeness of the response (5 points), and cost proposal (10 points, awarded proportionally to the lowest price). An optional interview may add up to 20 bonus points, increasing the maximum possible score to 120. The Statement of Qualifications is capped at 20 pages, excluding cover pages, table of contents, and required certifications, while the cost proposal has no page limit but must be submitted alongside the SOQ. Work must be performed entirely in Santa Ana, CA, with the contractor responsible for all costs including shipping, handling, and delivery. The City retains authority for final inspection and acceptance, and contractors must adhere to strict spill liability, safety, and recordkeeping obligations, including reporting property damage within 24 hours and maintaining hazardous waste documentation. No federal FAR clauses apply, and the solicitation does not require UEI or CAGE codes, but local socioeconomic preferences for small businesses based in Santa Ana or Orange County are recognized. Payment will be processed via ACH within 45 days of invoice receipt, though no specific remittance address or accounting codes are provided,
