Subsurface Excavation Drilling Services For Cathodic Protection Anode Installation

The contract solicitation 20260805032 issued by the San Diego County Water Authority seeks subsurface excavation drilling services for the installation of cathodic protection anodes at a site in San Diego, California, with a performance deadline of December 31, 2026. The work involves completing one auger drill hole in strict accordance with specified plans and requirements under a lump sum fixed-price arrangement, with all work requiring execution in a workmanlike manner and full compliance with Cal/OSHA safety regulations, CARB emissions standards, California Contractor Licensing Law (Class C-57), and federal and state nondiscrimination statutes. Contractors must hold a valid C-57 license, designate a qualified on-site representative present during all work hours, and demonstrate at least five years of relevant experience. Compliance is enforced through mandatory submission of complete exhibits including a signed bid form, contractor questionnaire, subcontractor and vendor disclosures, fleet compliance certifications tied to California Air Resources Board regulations, and proof of insurance totaling $4 million general liability, $2 million auto liability, $2 million pollution legal liability, and workers’ compensation coverage as required by state law. Bonding requirements are explicitly referenced, though specific bond types and amounts are not detailed in the available materials. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the BidNet portal by the deadline of September 14, 2026, preceded by a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 12, 2026, and site visits completed prior to submission. Invoices must be sent electronically to invoices.om@sdcwa.org and are subject to payment within 30 days of receipt. The Water Authority retains full authority to inspect, reject, or require corrections to non-compliant work at any time, including after initial acceptance, with all workmanship guaranteed for one year from final acceptance. No formal FAR clauses are listed, but the solicitation incorporates specialized requirements including permanent marking of well identification numbers, retention of material samples for 90 days for traceability, and detailed reporting obligations if exemptions are claimed for renewable diesel fuel usage. No contract value or CLINs are disclosed as the bid form remains unfilled, and financial tracking will rely on invoice substantiation rather than federal appropriation codes. The primary point of contact is Brian DiLuca, who serves as the administrative liaison, though no official COR, COTR, or PCO designations are provided.
