INTRODUCTION
Professional consultants are selected for City engineering projects based on demonstrated
competence and professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of
the services to be performed at fair and reasonable prices to the public agency. The City of
Upland is requesting proposals from qualified civil engineering firms, licensed in the State of
California, for the purpose of entering into a professional consultant services agreement to
perform engineering design services in connection with pavement rehabilitation and utility
improvements along 19th Street, from Mountain Avenue to Euclid Avenue. The City intends
to award a Professional Services Agreement (Agreement), to a firm deemed to be most
qualified to provide services as required by the City. The Agreement to be executed shall
be in the form attached hereto as Attachment A.
The California Labor Code section 1770, et seq., requires that certain consultants and/or
subconsultants on public works projects pay their workers based on the prevailing wage
rates which are established and issued by the Department of Industrial Relations,
(http://www.dir.ca.gov). Proposers of this RFP agree to adhere to the prevailing wage
requirements and use the wage schedules applicable at the time the work is performed,
which can be obtained from the Department of Industrial Relations Internet site at:
(http://www.dir.ca.gov/OPRL/DPreWageDetermination.htm).
Any consultant or subconsultant who submits a proposal or performs work that requires the
payment of prevailing wages under the state law must be registered with the Department of
Industrial Relations. This includes not only work performed by the building and construction
trades, but also other types of work, including trucking, surveying, and material testing, if
that work is subject to prevailing wage requirements.
PROJECT LOCATION AND BACKGROUND
19th Street is an east/west directional transportation corridor that carries approximately
4,500 vehicles per day and is classified as an other principal arterial road under the
California Road System (CRS) Maps. Within the City of Upland, 19th Street provides
east/west connectivity throughout the city. The location of the proposed project is shown
on the attached project location map (Attachment B). Firms submitting proposals are
encouraged to visit the project area to review site conditions firsthand.
