The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) #16C495000 for HVAC Maintenance and Repair Services at the Coalinga Area office, covering quarterly maintenance and repair services for multiple HVAC units including RUDD, CARRIER, and MODINE equipment, as well as an air compressor. The procurement involves comprehensive HVAC maintenance with a fixed-rate quarterly service component and additional hourly-rate repair services for unforeseen issues. Contractors must possess a C-20 contractor's license and provide commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, along with worker's compensation coverage. Key procurement dates include a mandatory job site walk-through on April 5, 2016, at 11:00 AM, with questions due by April 12, 2016, at 11:00 AM, and bid submissions due on April 22, 2016, at 3:00 PM. The contract is anticipated to run from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2018, with the state allocating $30,000 for unforeseen repairs and services. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest total cost after applying any applicable preferences or incentives.

The procurement includes a mandatory 3% Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement, with potential incentives of up to 5% for bidders exceeding this minimum participation level. Bidders can receive additional point advantages for higher DVBE engagement, making this an opportunity that prioritizes veteran-owned businesses. The contract covers multiple jurisdictions, including Fresno County and Concord City, and involves maintenance of existing HVAC infrastructure at the CHP Coalinga Area office. Two addenda have been issued modifying the original solicitation: Addendum 1 established the mandatory walk-through requirements, and Addendum 2 expanded the scope of equipment to be serviced by adding compressors and ice machines where applicable. While no incumbent vendor details are explicitly highlighted as being precluded from bidding, the current contractor is noted as being exempt from the mandatory walk-through requirement. The total contract value is structured around quarterly fixed-rate maintenance and hourly repair rates, with a $30,000 budget allocated for additional services.
