About this file

This is a bid specification document for a fabric shade structure project issued by Fontana Unified School District in Fontana, California, specifically for a pre-engineered fabric shade structure (Hip Roof Structure 40' x 40' with 15' entry height) to be installed at a primary school site in February 2025. The Scope of Work includes design, wet-stamped engineering drawings, fabrication, supply, and installation of the shade structure in compliance with California Building Code requirements and manufacturer specifications. The project requires submission of proof of reference sites with DSA Pre-Approved structures, fabric samples in multiple colors, powder coat color options, and comprehensive quality assurance documentation at least 10 days prior to bid. Questions must be submitted no later than 2:00 pm on Friday, April 3, 2026, with bids due by 2:00 pm on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, through the District's e-procurement portal. The resulting contract is for one year with up to five renewal options at the District's discretion.

The specifications establish stringent manufacturer and contractor requirements, including a minimum of 15 years' experience in design, engineering, manufacture, and erection of fabric shade structures; minimum General Liability insurance of $1,000,000, Professional Liability insurance of $3,000,000, and Umbrella/Excess Liability insurance of $5,000,000; minimum aggregate bonding capacity of $6,000,000; current California Contractor's License (Class A or Class B); City of Los Angeles Approved Fabricator license; and IAS accreditation for Structural Steel Fabrication. The shade structure must be engineered to withstand 90 mph wind loads, Seismic Design Category D, and 5 psf live loads with zero wind pass-through on fabric. The successful bidder must provide a 12-month workmanship warranty and a 10-year pro-rated supplemental warranty from the manufacturer on fabric and structural steel integrity.
