**As of February 13, 2024, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for award has not yet been established. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the California Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") and the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. No contractor or subcontractor may be listed in a bid for a public works project and no contractor or subcontractor may be awarded a contract for public work on a public works project unless registered with the DIR per California Labor Code Section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions from this requirement for bid purposes only under California Labor Code Section 1771.1(a)]. The objective of the project is to replace aging water facilities which have a history of reoccurring main breaks in order to improve reliability of distribution system and pavement renovation. The Work to be performed under this contract includes the replacement of existing water mains with 8-inch and 16-inch ductile iron pipe on Jersey Street from Douglass to Church Streets, on Diamond Street from 26th to 23rd Streets, on Douglass Street from 25th to 23rd Streets, and on Elizabeth Street from Hoffman Avenue to Castro Street. The work is to be performed in San Francisco, California. The Engineer's estimate is $11,100,000. The contract will be awarded to the responsible Bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid. Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B and Section 2.01 of CM D Attachment 1. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 14.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CM D certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs. The LBE subcontractor participation requirement is set at under 20% in consideration of the fact that the contract includes Contractor procurement of pipeline materials to be installed within the project limits. Pipeline procurement is through a non-LBE supplier and therefore reduces the overall LBE availability on this contract. SFPUC-LBEs cannot be counted towards meeting the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). Prime and Joint Venture level LBE participation cannot be counted towards meeting any of the LBE subcontracting requirement(s). LBE subcontractors must be certified with CM D in the scope of work they are being listed to perform. All Bidders shall submit documented Good Faith efforts with their Bids as directed on CM D Form 2B, except those who exceed the above-stated subcontracting requirement(s) by at least 35%. Refer to CM D Attachment 1. Failure to comply with Chapter 14B requirements may result in a Bid being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for Contract award.
