About this file
This is a Procurement Plan memorandum from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) dated June 9, 2026, outlining the specifications for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 250407 for Backflow Prevention Devices and Fire Hydrant Services. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide backflow prevention devices and fire hydrant services on an as-needed basis. The contract term is structured as an initial three-year period with two optional one-year renewal terms, allowing for flexibility in service continuity. The IFB approach was selected based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder methodology, as the services are straightforward and do not require subjective evaluation of qualifications or work plans.
The initial contract budget is $135,000.00 for the three-year term, with the first option term valued at $48,364.00. The contract is designated as a Time & Expense arrangement with firm-fixed hourly rates for services rendered. This is a prevailing wage contract, indicating that compensation must meet established prevailing wage standards. Funding for the contract derives from Local Measure M revenue sources. The evaluation criteria is weighted entirely on cost (100%), reflecting the IFB's focus on price competitiveness among qualified bidders. An independent cost estimate was received, and requisition R000695 was submitted to support the procurement. Project Manager Christine Herrera and Section Supervisor Javier Lopez Jr. provided concurrence on June 10, 2026.
