The objective of the project is to replace the motor control centers and appurtenant equipment, and seismically upgrade the San Antonio Pump Station in Sunol, California. The work is to be performed in Alameda, California.

Bid discounts may be applied as per San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 14B and Section 2.01 of CMD Attachment 6. The Local Business Enterprise (LBE) subcontracting requirement is 11.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs and SFPUC Micro & Small-LBEs. The LBE subcontracting participation requirement is under 20% because a large portion of the work involves highly specialized equipment that needs to be purchased and installed, and due to the project location of 50 miles from San Francisco with limited LBE availability. 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 6. Failure to comply with Chapter 14B requirements may result in a Bid being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for Contract award. Please contact Ekaterina Svyatets at 925-967-2154 or kate.svyatets@sfgov.org for further information. Subcontracting opportunities may include, but not limited, to the following major types of work: earthwork and paving, concrete work, trucking and hauling, utilities construction, reinforcing steel, electrical, mechanical, HVAC, fire protection, and painting. Please refer to Section 01 60 00 in the Specifications regarding the purchase of equipment to achieve the LBE subcontracting participation requirement.
