West Cliff Dr Path Realignment

The City of Santa Cruz Public Works Department is soliciting bids for Project m400189, the West Cliff Drive Path Realignment. This construction project addresses public safety hazards caused by coastal erosion and wave action at two specific locations. At Site 1, the project involves removing the most affected portions of the pathway, installing a wood split rail fence with a gate, constructing decomposed granite rest areas with benches and memorials, and implementing a water retention swale and storm drain improvements. At Site 2, the scope includes removing an existing parking area and portions of the asphalt path to construct a new segment of pathway and a rest area positioned at least 20 feet from the cliff edge, along with vegetation restoration. The total estimated project cost is 459,800.00 dollars, which includes a 10 percent contingency. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Bidders must provide a bid security of at least 10 percent of the proposal amount and submit proof of licensure. Upon award, the successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price and submit a baseline progress schedule within five working days. The project requires adherence to the 2002 City of Santa Cruz Standard Specifications, 2022 Caltrans Standard Specifications, and specific storm water and erosion control manuals. All workers must be paid prevailing wages and contractors must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Final acceptance of the work requires an affirmative action by the City of Santa Cruz City Council.
