Whittier Boulevard (2735) Bulkhead

Solicitation E 1909319 is a restricted project issued by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering for the construction of a cantilevered bulkhead retaining structure at 2735 Whittier Boulevard in the Boyle Heights neighborhood. The project aims to mitigate public safety threats caused by encroaching debris at the southern end of an alley. The scope of work includes the installation of three cast-in-drilled-hole piles, cast-in-place reinforced concrete retaining walls, and a grade beam. The resulting structure will be approximately 10.5 feet tall and 16 linear feet wide, extending 6 inches below the sidewalk grade, which will require partial removal and reconstruction of the existing sidewalk. This is a limited solicitation open only to five pre-qualified contractors: Calex Engineering, Clarke Contracting, Jilk Heavy Construction, Inc., Mike Prlich & Sons, Inc., and Mladen Buntich Construction Company. The City Engineer's estimate for the project is 144,125.00 dollars, with funding provided by Senate Bill 1 Road and Maintenance Rehabilitation funds. Bids are due by October 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Los Angeles City Hall. While a bid bond is not required, the successful contractor must provide payment and performance bonds for at least 100 percent of the task bid price. The project is managed by Elaine Lei of the Geotechnical Engineering Division.
