This includes conducting field evaluations, documenting conflicts, and developing mutually agreeable solutions that comply with local regulations and safety standards. Work must be performed in El Centro, California, with a tight deadline for response by 10:00 PM on July 30, 2026. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541690, indicating it involves other professional, scientific, and technical services, likely focusing on engineering and planning support. The Imperial County Department of Public Works is the lead agency, and all activities must align with their operational requirements and timelines, with no set-aside provisions specified. The bidder is expected to act independently but collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure project success and minimal disruption to public infrastructure.
