City of Costa Mesa in Costa Mesa, California is using this solicitation to procure engineering work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price. Bidders responding to a engineering solicitation in California are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency.
