16C401001 - Bay Door Maintenance & Repair

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has issued Invitation for Bids (IFB #16C401001) for Bay Door Maintenance and Repair Services at the Grapevine and Chowchilla River Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facilities (CVEF) located in Kern County. The procurement seeks a contractor to perform quarterly maintenance on inspection bay doors with service intervals not exceeding 90 days, along with miscellaneous repairs as needed. Contractors must possess C-10 and C-61/D28 licenses and a valid business license to be eligible. A mandatory walk-through is scheduled for May 17, 2016, at 11:00 AM at Chowchilla River CVEF and May 18, 2016, at 1:30 PM at Grapevine CVEF. Bids are due May 26, 2016, at 2:30 PM, with bid opening at 3:00 PM. The contract term will run from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2018. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical capabilities, and compliance with licensing and security requirements.

The solicitation includes a mandatory 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, with small business preferences available that do not exceed $50,000. DVBE incentives range from 3-5% based on participation levels. All prospective contractors and personnel must pass security clearance, including driver's license and fingerprint checks before accessing CHP facilities. The state has allocated $10,000 for unforeseen repairs and services beyond regular quarterly maintenance. Pricing structure requires bidders to provide quarterly service rates for each facility, along with hourly rates for regular time (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and overtime labor. Contractors will need to demonstrate the ability to perform comprehensive bay door maintenance and repair services while meeting strict security and licensing requirements. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the allocated funds and two-year contract duration suggest a moderate-sized procurement opportunity for qualified maintenance service providers.
