The City of Riverside Public Utilities Department’s Energy Delivery Division is seeking a contractor to replace obsolete cable and conduit infrastructure in the Canyon Crest neighborhood. - Project: BID 8297, Canyon Crest HMPE & CIC Cable Replacement – Area 2. The work replaces obsolete HMPE and cable-in-conduit construction with XLPE cable and new conduits, plus associated underground and surface-restoration work. - Buyer: City of Riverside, Public Utilities Department, Energy Delivery Division; one attachment identifies the Purchasing Department. - OEMs and vendors: No product manufacturers, OEMs, or commercial vendors are named in the supplied materials. No part numbers are provided. - Products requested: XLPE cable (quantity not specified); 16,712 duct feet of 3-inch SCH40 conduit; 892 duct feet of 4-inch SCH40 conduit; 152 duct feet of 3-inch S40E conduit; and two 150-kW electric generators for Hacienda Drive. - Construction work: 8,850 trench feet; one 5-by-8.5-foot CST structure; two structure core drills; three ADA pedestrian ramp replacements; 133,232 square feet of final grind and overlay; 46 linear feet of protective wall; 3,313 square feet of sidewalk/driveway replacement; and 3,402 square feet of cross-gutter replacement. The scope also includes mobilization/demobilization, traffic control, and tree and vegetation removal. - Notable requirements: The contractor provides labor, equipment, and most materials. XLPE cable pulling and installation of specified pad-mounted and underground transformers are excluded from the contractor’s work. The specifications call for qualified electrical workers for relevant energized work and require a sustainability narrative. - Performance period: The special provisions specify completion within 120 working days after the Notice to Proceed. Other attachment summaries state 15 calendar days; the documents therefore contain a conflicting duration that should be clarified. - Estimated value: $3,006,531.
