State Route 156 At The Alameda Eastbound Right-Hand Turn Lane Improvement Project

The City of San Juan Bautista is soliciting bids for the State Route 156 At The Alameda Eastbound Right-Hand Turn Lane Improvement Project, identified as Project No. 0522000024. The scope of work involves the construction of an eastbound right-hand turn lane, requiring all necessary labor, materials, and equipment. Key technical requirements include mandatory lead soil sampling and testing within the Caltrans right-of-way, earthwork, drainage improvements, and the installation of concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. A critical long-lead item is the procurement and installation of a traffic signal standard pole, which requires a supplier disclosure form with the bid and proof of purchase within 14 calendar days of the Limited Notice to Proceed to avoid a material breach of contract. All work must adhere to the 2024 Caltrans Standard Specifications and Standard Plans, including revisions dated April 21, 2025. Bids are due by 11:00 a.m. on September 15, 2026, and must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the San Juan Bautista City Clerk's Office. To be considered, bidders must provide bid security equal to 10% of the total bid price, proof of DIR registration, and a valid California contractor license. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Post-award requirements include the submission of performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract price, a baseline schedule within 10 calendar days, and compliance with California State Prevailing Wage laws. The project also requires adherence to strict safety standards for trenching and the preservation of survey monuments. Payment is processed via monthly applications with a 5% retention held by the City.
