How to bid on Santa Ana’s Wilshire and Wright street repair project

What the City is buying

The City of Santa Ana’s Public Works Agency is seeking a contractor for the Industrial Street Repair Program at Wilshire and Wright. The work includes excavation and grading, plus removal and replacement of asphalt pavement, concrete curb ramps, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and ribbon gutters.

The estimated value is $1,881,000. This is an invitation for bids, or IFB, for construction work.

Deadline and hard-copy documents

The electronic bid is due November 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Electronic submission is required by the deadline.

The original bid bond and notarized affidavits must also be delivered in a sealed envelope marked with the project number and title, and addressed to the City of Santa Ana, Attn: Gilbert Castillo, Public Works Agency; M-22, 20 Civic Center Plaza; Ross Annex 3rd Floor, Santa Ana, CA 92701. Hard copies are for verification only and may be accepted by close of business the next business day. The City says staff will not timestamp or sign hard-copy deliveries; the electronic submission by the deadline is sufficient.

Who this opportunity suits

This project suits construction contractors with experience in street and concrete repair work, including pavement, curb ramps, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. Bidders need a California Class A General Contractor license.
