The government file is a procurement document from Tuolumne County's General Services Agency for the Administration Building Boiler Replacement Project located at 2 S. Green Street in Sonora, California. The project involves removing an existing diesel-powered boiler and replacing it with a new electric AERCO Benchmark E Series boiler (216-684 kW model with Edge Controller), with a total contract duration of four months and potential thirty-day extensions. Electronic bid proposals are due by 8:00 am on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, through the county's e-Procurement platform, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for March 14, 2025, at 10:00 am. Contractors must possess C-4 and C-10 Contractor's Licenses and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations.

The project requires complete boiler removal, disposal, installation, and site restoration, with the county planning to award the contract to the lowest responsive bidder subject to fund availability. Contractors must submit a bidder's bond or security of at least ten percent of the bid amount, with payment and performance bonds mandatory for contracts exceeding $25,000. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified, the project requires strict compliance with prevailing wage rates and labor regulations. The electric boiler specifications indicate modern capabilities including zero emissions, peak load management, and compatibility with building automation systems, suggesting a strategic investment in energy-efficient infrastructure upgrades. Bidders must submit multiple certifications, including debarment, suspension, and noncollusion declarations, demonstrating a comprehensive vetting process.
