Site work for a water / sewer project in Los Gatos, California. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

**As of June 16, 2022, Pitcher Services only bidder, $36,185 base contract, start date May 23 2022. The project's purpose is to decommission two (2) abandoned wells in the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve, Santa Clara County, approximately 5 to 15 miles from Los Gatos, California. The C-57 licensed contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, supplies, permits, transportation, labor, and perform all operations and work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and Santa Clara County permits and regulations. The work includes: Well destruction design, permitting, mobilization/demobilization, pump removal, cement grout emplacement, and concrete pad removal. The District will provide site access, including vegetation removal, and conduct wildlife monitoring. Award of contract is anticipated to occur on May 3, 2022, and the notice to proceed on May 23, 2022. The notice to proceed may occur earlier than May 23 depending on how quickly the contract is signed and when the contractor provides bid bonds and insurance certifications, but on-site activities cannot commence until the contractor has submitted and obtained well destruction permits with Santa Clara Valley Water District. On-site construction activities are anticipated to take approximately one week. The project must be completed no later than June 30, 2022, and invoices submitted no later than July 8, 2022. The project cost has been estimated at $36,000, which includes the cost of General Conditions, permitting, mobilization and demobilization, and well destruction. Because the quantity of grout required to seal each well can vary with subsurface conditions, a $9,000 allowance is available to cover additional time and materials beyond the expected cost based on the known conditions. Unforeseen costs that exceed the project budget plus allowance ($45,000 total) must be submitted to the project manager as a Change Order with itemized descriptions of the additional costs, including labor, but cannot exceed $5,000. At the sole discretion of the project manager, the number of wells destroyed may be reduced at any time to avoid exceeding the project budget. RSVP to Ariel Starr at astarr@openspace.org no later than 12:00pm March 10, 2022. A maximum of 2 representatives per company will be permitted.
