The objective of the project is to rehabilitate the Sunol Hydrofluoric Acid (HFA) Facility, provide system integration of the Dechlorination Facility, replace the chemical metering pumps at the Sunol Valley Chloramination Facility (SVCF), and upgrade the main PLC at SVCF. The work is to be performed in Alameda County, California. SFPUC has determined, in accordance with Cal. Public Contract Code §3400, that certain items are “without equal” — refer to Section 00 21 13 (Instructions to Bidders), “Questions on Bid Documents, Addenda, Substitutions.”

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 8.00%. The LBE subcontracting requirement can only be met with CMD certified San Francisco Micro and Small-LBEs and SFPUC Micro & Small-LBEs.  The LBE subcontractor participation requirement for this Contract is 8.00%. The LBE subcontractor participation requirement is set at under 20% in  consideration of the large portion of work that includes specialized electrical and mechanical equipment, and due to the project location of 50 miles from San Francisco with limited LBE availability. 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: electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and controls.  Please refer to Section 01 60 00 in the Specifications regarding the purchase of equipment to achieve the LBE subcontracting participation requirement.
