The Engineer's Estimate is between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000. The City may award the contract to the responsible Bidder that submits the lowest responsive Bid.

This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement of prevailing wage requirements by the California Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") and the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission authorized the Water System Improvement Program Project Labor Agreement ("WSIP PLA") to be extended to the Sewer System Improvement Program ("SSIP") and the Auxiliary Water Supply System ("AWSS") Pumping Station 2 project. The agreement to extend the WSIP PLA to all SSIP projects and the AWSS project is known as the Extension Agreement. This Project is covered by the WSIP PLA and Extension Agreement (collectively referred to as "PLA"). A copy of the PLA documents are included as Section 00 73 18.10 in the contract documents. Bidders are advised that the PLA is incorporated into and made a part of any contract awarded for this Project, subject to exceptions in the Extension Agreement. In addition, the SFPUC seeks to promote diversity within its contracting opportunities. Th us, the SFPUC strongly encourages bids from Bidders that optimize the use of S.F. Small and Micro-LBE certified subcontracting firms. The SFPUC also seeks to further optimize the use of contractor teams that reflect the diversity of the City and County of San Francisco. As such, the City recommends that Bidders consider the composition of their teams in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, and race, and to utilize teams that include a diverse mix of staff at all organizational levels. A Class "A" California Contractors License is required to bid. Furthermore, each listed subcontractor must possess appropriate active licenses for the work each subcontractor will be performing. In accordance with San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 6, the City and County of San Francisco will not accept any offer/bid or award any contract in excess of $1,000,000 until such time as (a) the General Manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission recommends the contract for award and (b) the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission then adopts a resolution awarding the contract. Pursuant to Charter Section 3.105, all contract awards are subject to certification by the Controller as to the availability of funds. Bidders are hereby advised that the Contractor to whom the Contract is awarded must be certified by the Contract Monitoring Division as being in compliance with the Equal Benefits Provisions of Chapter 12B of the City's Administrative Code within two weeks after notification of award by the SFPUC General Manager.
