Temporary Water, Wastewater And Stormwater Bypass, Diversion, Pumping And Management Services

The City of Thousand Oaks is seeking qualified firms to provide on-demand temporary water, wastewater, and stormwater bypass services to support public infrastructure maintenance, repairs, and emergency response. Services include bypass pumping, diversion, dewatering, flow management, temporary conveyance systems, installation, operation, monitoring, maintenance, and demobilization across city-owned rights-of-way, storm drains, and sewer systems. The solicitation, numbered 20260720007 and posted on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of August 15, 2026, operates as an indefinite-delivery, time-and-materials agreement with no fixed contract value or estimated spending ceiling. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the City’s OpenGov eProcurement portal, and all submissions must include original signed documents scanned into PDF format. The contract is governed by locally drafted provisions rather than federal FAR clauses, with key requirements including compliance with California prevailing wage laws, OSHA and Cal/OSHA safety standards, and the Levine Act, which restricts campaign contributions to City Council members. Contractors must maintain specified insurance coverage, including $2 million commercial general liability, $1 million automobile liability, workers’ compensation as required by law, and pollution liability, with the City named as additional insured and subrogation waived. All personnel must be authorized to work in the U.S., and subcontractors are fully the responsibility of the prime contractor. Contractors are required to submit a W-9 form, an insurance certificate, and a Levine Act disclosure form, and must retain all payroll, accounting, and operational records for four years after contract termination, subject to audit by the City. Performance is triggered by emergency or scheduled work orders with no fixed schedule, and the agreement remains in effect until all services are completed, regardless of any stated term. Acceptance of final payment constitutes release of all claims, and the City retains full authority to inspect and approve all work, without relieving the contractor of liability for defects or damage to city property, which must be restored to original condition at the contractor’s expense.
