University No. 4 Tank Replacement Project

Bids will be received for a single prime contract for replacement of the existing steel 400,000-gallon potable water storage tank known as University Reservoir No. 4 (U4) which serves the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) campus and local Westside customers (Project). The Engineer's estimate anticipates that the total bid price will be $4.4M and the Contract Time for the completion of all the Work of the Project is 482 working days. The Project includes decommissioning and removal of the old storage tank, construction of a new steel 400,000-gallon storage tank on the existing foundation, pump control upgrades and fire hardening of the roof of the U6 pump station. To meet system demands for the University and protect water supply pumps while the main reservoir is being replaced, a 40,000-gallon maintenance tank will be installed as part of the Project. Two road pullouts will be paved along the narrow quarter mile access road to allow small fire trucks and other vehicles to

turn around. Other project work at the site will include replacing fencing and existing drainage infrastructure, installation of a new curb and gutter, and minor resurfacing and repairs to the access road once construction is complete.TimelineRelease Project Date:March 27, 2024Pre-Bid/Proposal Meeting (Mandatory):April 17, 2024, 2:30pm U4 Tank site located in the County of Santa Cruz, California, near Empire Grade Road at approximately the geographic coordinates: 36°59'53.8"N 122°04'09.9"WQuestions and Clarification Submission Deadline:April 24, 2024, 3:00pmSubmittal Deadline:May 9, 2024, 3:00pmPublic Bid Opening (Mandatory):May 9, 2024, 3:00pm https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTlmM2RiYWEtODMxNS00NWQzLWEzN2EtNDMzNmE4ZWNkMGIz%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22feab8902-637f-47b2-a683-641ca716ec3f%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22b555114b-1c3c-4daa-b0c9-0f442837b971%22%7d
