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

Fallbrook Public Utility District ("District") has determined that all contractors bidding on its Pipeline & Valve Replacement Project ("Project") must be prequalified prior to submitting a bid on the Project. It is mandatory that all contractors ("bidder", "prospective bidder", or "contractor") who intend to submit a bid for the Project fully complete a prequalification application package ("Prequalification Package"), including but not limited to the Prequalification Questionnaire ("Questionnaire"), provide all materials requested herein, and be deemed prequalified by the District to be on the approved list of bidders ("Approved Bidders List - Pipeline & Valve Replacement Project"). Unless expressly stated in future Notice Inviting Bids, no bid will be accepted from any contractor that is not on District's Approved Bidders List - Pipeline & Valve Replacement Project. If two or more business entities expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must submit a fully complete Prequalification Package and be separately qualified to bid. Refer to Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Prequalification Packages section for additional information The District reserves the right to cancel this Notice or to reject any and all responses and Prequalification Packages, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that such cancellation or rejection is in the best interest of the District. The District reserves the right to bid construction of the Project without use of the approved list of bidders. Answers to questions contained in the Prequalification Package, information about current bonding capacity, a notarized statement from surety, and the most recent reviewed or audited financial statements, with accompanying notes and supplemental information, will be used by the District in order to rate contractors with respect to their qualifications to bid on the Project. The District reserves the right to check any other sources available to verify contractor's statements, prior performance and veracity. The District's decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria. The District reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficient to disqualify them will be notified and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures contained herein. While the prequalification process is intended to assist the District in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and aid the District in selecting the lowest responsible bidder for construction of the Project, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the District from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness PROJECT DESCRIPTION District anticipates, subject to change in the District's sole discretion, the Project requiring prequalification shall generally consist of the following: The work to be done includes furnishing all necessary labor, equipment, and materials for the construction of 6-inch to 12-inch cement mortar lined and coated steel water distribution pipeline and appurtenances. The work will be in streets and rights-of-way in residential and commercial neighborhoods, requiring neighborhood coordination, traffic control, quality steel pipe workmanship and certified welding, complex system tie-in planning and coordination, etc. For work in existing streets with active water pipelines, maintaining operation of the existing distribution system while constructing the replacement pipelines is an essential aspect of the Project. The construction cost of the Project is estimated at not less than $4,000,000.
