Villa La Jolla Storm Drain System Lining

The City of San Diego is soliciting a Progressive Design-Build (PDB) contractor for the Villa La Jolla Storm Drain System Lining project. The scope of work involves the repair of subsurface voids, the installation of access structures, and all related appurtenances. The project is structured in two phases: Phase I focuses on preconstruction and design development to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) on a cost-reimbursable basis, while Phase II covers the actual construction and design support, which the City may exercise upon acceptance of the GMP. The selected contractor will serve as the Engineer of Record and must adhere to all applicable laws and professional industry standards. The procurement follows a two-step selection process, beginning with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to shortlist up to three firms based on professional competence, followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) where the final award is determined by a point system and technical interviews. Key requirements include compliance with prevailing wage rates, the Equal Employment Opportunity Outreach Program, and ADA accessibility standards. Contractors must provide performance and labor and material bonds and are expected to utilize a diverse range of certified business enterprises, including MBE, WBE, and DBE. Administrative requirements include monthly payment reporting via the Prism portal and strict adherence to the electronic submission deadline through PlanetBids.
