San Roque Water Main Replacement Project

The City of Santa Barbara is seeking qualified contractors to replace approximately four miles of 8‑inch water main in the San Roque neighborhood. The contract is a fixed‑price, performance‑bonded award with a 280‑working‑day schedule and a $1,500 per day liquidated‑damages clause for non‑excusable delays. Bidders must submit electronic bids via PlanetBids by October 6 2026, provide a 10 % bid bond, and furnish performance and payment bonds at 100 % of the contract price. The project includes extensive excavation, pipe installation, valve and hydrant work, traffic‑control planning, utility coordination, and strict environmental and fire‑hazard controls. • Install ~18,200 LF of 8‑inch PVC water main with associated fittings, valves, and fire‑hydrants. • Remove and abandon existing water mains, tie‑over existing residential services, and restore all disturbed pavement, sidewalks, and street‑tree protections. • Provide full utility coordination (811 locates, gas‑company presence within 10 ft), traffic‑control plans, and comply with California prevailing‑wage, safety, and environmental BMP requirements.
