TURF REPLACEMENT WITH WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING FOR FIRE STATIONS 5, 11, & 13

The City of Riverside seeks a qualified contractor to remove roughly 20,419 sq ft of existing, non‑functional turf at three fire‑station sites (Stations 5, 11, 13) and replace it with water‑efficient, drought‑tolerant landscaping. The work includes full turf removal, soil preparation, installation of native plants, mulch, hardscape, conversion to drip‑irrigation, and a storm‑water retention feature to meet Metropolitan Water District rebate requirements. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a 10 % bid bond required and a project term that can extend up to five years. • Remove existing turf (~20,419 sq ft) and prepare the site (soil grading, weed barrier). • Install water‑wise landscaping: native plants, mulch rings, permeable hardscape, and drip‑irrigation systems. • Provide a storm‑water retention element (rain‑garden, dry creek, rain‑barrel, etc.) to qualify for rebate. • Submit a complete bid package (line‑item pricing, required exhibits, and 10 % bid security) via PlanetBids by 12 pm on 28 Aug 2026.
