The procurement carries a 3% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DVBE) goal and a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal, with SBE participation commitments and certifications required by bid opening. Prevailing wages are mandated, with rates set by the California Director of Industrial Relations.

Bidders must hold either a Class A contractor license or a combination of Class C licenses (C-10, C-27).

Bid security equal to at least 10 percent of the bid amount is required. Additional compliance requirements include environmental certifications, Tier 4 Interim or Tier 4 Final engine specifications for off-road diesel vehicles, lead compliance planning, and certified payroll submission using LCPtracker Pro.
