The City of Vista is soliciting bids for the replacement of the plaster lining in its competition pool under solicitation number 20260804032, with a bid submission deadline of August 26, 2026. The project, identified as C.I.P. No. 8398, falls under NAICS code 238990 and is classified as a public works construction contract governed by California’s Greenbook Specifications, the San Diego Regional Supplement, and applicable state laws including the Public Contract Code and OSHA regulations.

The contract is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical criteria will be selected. The scope includes demolition of the existing plaster, replacement of pool inlets, drains, tiles, and lighting, installation of new plaster, cleanup, and mobilization and demobilization, with a stipulated $20,000 for unforeseen conditions. All materials must be new, manufacturer-branded, and delivered in original unopened containers, inspected upon pickup from designated agency yards. Performance occurs at the pool site in Vista, California, with final acceptance determined by the City’s Engineer after inspection and approval. Bidders qualifying as Veteran-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise receive a 2% bid preference. Contractors must submit a detailed construction schedule within ten days of contract execution and provide monthly payment invoices with supporting documentation, with payments issued within 30 days of proper submission. Substitutions for materials are permitted only with Engineer approval and must demonstrate equivalent performance and durability. The contract requires a full performance bond, and all work must comply with ASTM standards, including mandatory testing of concrete and soil. Electronic submission via the OpenGov Procurement portal is mandatory, with no hardcopy submissions accepted.
