AI overview

The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department, Water Gas Wastewater Operations Division, is seeking bids for a five-year on-call contract for saw cutting and core drilling services. The contractor will provide labor, equipment, and materials to perform pavement saw cutting and core drilling at various locations within the city. These services support construction activities such as installation of new utility services and abandonment of existing utility services performed by Utilities Operations.

The contract is structured as a Blanket Purchase Order with an annual limit of $400,000. Payment is made per linear foot of pavement saw-cut or per each core drill performed, inclusive of all labor, equipment, materials, traffic control, cleaning, travel to and from job sites, transportation, fuel, and invoicing. The contractor must be able to mobilize crews of two to five persons as needed. Actual work quantities will vary significantly from the estimated bid quantities.

Key dates include the release of the solicitation on July 8, 2026, a questions deadline of July 16, 2026 at 8:00 PM UTC, and a proposal deadline of July 30, 2026 at 10:00 PM UTC. The contract is for a five-year term. Standard bonds including bid, payment, and performance bonds are required. Attachments include bid forms and a contract template.

The City has utilized on-call saw cutting services for many years, allowing its operations crew to focus on specialized infrastructure maintenance rather than site preparation. This approach has proven efficient for maintaining water, gas, and wastewater infrastructure. The contract is administered by the Utilities Department with contacts including Ann Marie Romero and Diamond Perkins.
