The objective of the project is to provide contingency-based as-needed main sewer replacement on short notice at the locations to be determined within the City and County of San Francisco. The work is to be performed in San Francisco, California. Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B. The LBE Subcontracting Participation Requirement is 14.00% and ONLY San Francisco (Local) Small & Micro-LBEs can be utilized to meet this requirement (Firms certified by SF Contract Monitoring Division). SFPUC-LBEs cannot be utilized to meet the 14.00% LBE Subcontracting Participation Requirement. The LBE subcontracting participation requirement of 14% is established in consideration of the large amount of specialty work and experience requirements due to the unknown work scopes during the advertisement/bid phase of as-needed contracts and the average final LBE participation percentage of the last 6 as-needed main sewer replacement contracts closed to date. Please contact Linda Rainaldi at (415) 554-3106 for further information. Subcontracting opportunities may include, but not limited, to the following major types of work: trucking, saw-cutting, paving, excavation, traffic control and concrete. Please refer to Section 01 60 00 in the Specifications regarding the purchase of equipment to achieve the LBE subcontracting participation requirement. An electronic version of the bidding forms is available by request. To request these materials, email qbd@sfwater.org with this Contract No. WW-713, the firm name, full address, email address, phone number, copy of contractor's license or business card, and a copy of a government-issued identification.

Prime Bidder's attendance at this conference is worth 15 points toward Chapter 14B "Good Faith Outreach" requirements.
