Bid #P40576. County of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California. The County of Santa Cruz, Department of Community Development & Infrastructure is seeking proposals from qualified consultants for Professional Civil Engineering and Environmental Services. Due Jun 18 (3 days left).
The County of Santa Cruz, Department of Community Development & Infrastructure is seeking proposals from qualified consultants for Professional Civil Engineering and Environmental Services for the Larkspur Street over San Lorenzo River Bridge Replacement Project (Bridge No. 36C-0068) in Santa Cruz County. The existing bridge, constructed in 1957, is a 133-foot-long, three span, precast, prestressed four girder bridge on two reinforced concrete pier walls with spread footings and reinforced seat abutments. With a total width of 15’ 4”, it provides a single 12’ 2” travel lane with concrete curbs and timber railings on both sides of the structure. A narrow timber walkway is located on the downstream side of the deck. The bridge piers are considered to be scour critical with exposed spread footings and undermining. There is a sharp turn on the eastern approach roadway with poor site visibility. The bridge currently supports suspended water and gas lines, while telecommunication and power lines run directly overhead. The existing bridge does not meet current design standards. The proposed project would include replacing and demolishing the existing structurally obsolete bridge with a two-lane, single span, cast-in-place, post tensioned concrete box girder bridge that would be designed to meet current safety, seismic, and scour requirements in accordance with current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) or Caltrans design standards. The bridge is listed in the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and will be funded in part through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the County. Consulting firm services must comply with the latest requirements of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Federal, State, and local regulations.

County of Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz, California is using this solicitation to procure bridge 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 bridge 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. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in California so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for County of Santa Cruz's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 18, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause.

Vendors that have not previously contracted with County of Santa Cruz should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
