Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture

The City of San José is soliciting bids for the Venetian Terrace Regional Stormwater Capture Project, identified by solicitation number 20260730027, with a response deadline of September 3, 2026. The project, classified under NAICS code 237110 for water and sewage system construction, involves comprehensive site work including grading, erosion and sediment control, concrete installation, irrigation system setup, and landscaping with native and low-water-use vegetation. Work must comply with City of San José standards, ASTM F1487 for playground equipment safety, and American Association of Nurserymen guidelines for plant materials. All materials must be stored appropriately, with irrigation wires clearly labeled, mulch applied as a three-inch layer of compostable material, and plant bundles tagged for verification. Spare components must be marked “SPARE,” and irrigation controller keys must be surrendered to the Project Engineer upon completion. The performance location is the Venetian Terrace site southeast of Almaden Expressway and Curtner Avenue in San Jose, California, with all deliveries and activities required on-site. The primary point of contact is Matt Loesch of the City’s procurement office, with additional coordination directed through Jennifer Gregoris of CalSensé for system verification. Invoices are to be submitted to the Project Engineer without specification of an electronic system, and no formal payment office or accounting data is provided. While detailed technical requirements are outlined for materials, installation, and inspection, the solicitation lacks explicit contract clauses, evaluation factors, award methodology, pricing details, or formal contract type designation. No representations, certifications, socioeconomic set-asides, or special requirements such as OCI provisions, key personnel designations, or contract options are included in the provided materials, suggesting this is a technically driven solicitation focused on compliance with construction and landscape specifications rather than a full federal-style acquisition package.
