Yucca Trail Widening Project – Palomar Avenue To La Contenta Road

The Town of Yucca Valley is soliciting professional civil engineering design services for the Yucca Trail Widening Project, located between Palomar/Avalon Avenue and La Contenta Road in Yucca Valley, California. The selected contractor will be responsible for creating a comprehensive Plans, Specifications, and Engineer's Estimates package, which includes street improvement, signing, striping, and streetlight plans, as well as final cost estimates and record drawings. The scope requires the consultant to evaluate the project for safety, constructability, utility conflicts, right-of-way constraints, and ADA compliance, utilizing the latest version of AutoCAD and adhering to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and Town driveway standards. The agreement is for an initial term of two years, with a possible two-year extension upon mutual consent. Proposals must be submitted in two separate sealed envelopes by December 3, 2026, with the technical proposal limited to ten pages. Evaluation criteria include the service approach, company qualifications, past performance, proximity of the contractor's office, and the ability to commence work immediately. Compensation will be negotiated after the contractor is selected, and the Town aims to process undisputed monthly invoices within forty-five days. While the contractor must provide worker's compensation and indemnity insurance, it is noted that California prevailing wage laws do not apply to this specific agreement.
