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.

Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B and Section 2.01 of CMD Attachment 1. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 14.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD 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 CMD 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 CMD Form 2B, except those who exceed the above-stated subcontracting requirement(s) by at least 35%. Refer to CMD Attachment 1. Failure to comply with Chapter 14B requirements may result in a Bid being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for Contract award. Please contact Michelle Kassatly at (408) 641-8031 or michelle.kassatly@sfgov.org for further information. Subcontracting opportunities may include, but not limited, to the following major types of work: trucking, hauling shoring, pavement restoration, saw cutting, and traffic control.
