As the largest city in Contra Costa County, Concord is an economic and commercial powerhouse in the East Bay. Construction activity in Concord is highlighted by the landmark Concord Naval Weapons Station redevelopment (a transformative 2,200-acre master-planned community), corporate office park modernizations along the Clayton Road corridor, multi-family residential infill surrounding two downtown BART stations, and regional retail redevelopments around the Sunvalley Shopping Center. Contractors bidding in Concord require bid-ready takeoffs that navigate complex master-planned civil infrastructure, commercial tenant fit-outs, and Bay Area prevailing wage benchmarks.
