Request for Prequalification of Contractors for Water, Sewer & Water Reclamation Projects

The City of Corona’s Department of Water and Power is establishing a five‑year pre‑qualified contractors list for all water, sewer, and water‑reclamation construction work. Firms must submit a complete pre‑qualification package (hard copy and electronic PDF) by the February 26, 2026 deadline to be considered for any future bid that requires pre‑qualified status. The scope covers five distinct categories: pipelines, storage tanks, water‑treatment/ pump‑station/ well‑equipping/mechanical, water‑reclamation/ sewage‑pump‑station/mechanical, and emergency electrical generators. Each category requires a separate technical questionnaire (Part VI) and must meet specific minimum experience thresholds (e.g., 30,000 ft of pipelines, three 500,000‑gal tanks, three emergency‑generator projects ≥ 75 kW, etc.). Applicants must hold a valid California General Engineering “A” contractor license (or the necessary specialty licenses), provide audited financial statements or bonding capacity, meet insurance minimums, and pass a pass/fail essential‑requirements questionnaire. Successful firms are placed on a confidential, category‑specific list that remains valid through June 30 2026, after which a new pre‑qualification cycle will be opened. • Five‑year pre‑qualification period (April 1 2021 – June 30 2026) • Two submission formats required: sealed hard copy + electronic PDF on CD/USB • Mandatory qualifications include specific experience thresholds per category, General Engineering “A” license, insurance, and financial/bonding documentation • No specific project budgets disclosed; future bids will reference the pre‑qualified list
