22-143442; Legionella Remediation

The California Department of General Services (DGS), Facilities Management Division (FMD) is procuring Legionella remediation and reduction services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. FMD intends to award multiple regional contracts, one each for the Bay Area, Northern, and Southern regions, with a 24-month base term and an optional 1-year extension. The required services include Legionella testing, review and interpretation of test results, remediation, and final reporting. Bidders must meet specific licensing and certification requirements, provide proof of insurance, and demonstrate prior experience with Legionella remediation and water quality management programs. A mandatory pre-bid conference and non-mandatory site visits are scheduled, and bids are due by October 9, 2024. Evaluation criteria include the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with small business preferences and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentives applied.

The IFB includes a 3% DVBE participation requirement, and incumbent contractors on current Legionella testing contracts are precluded from bidding. The contract funding source is not specified, but the State reserves the right to reject any or all bids if the pricing is not deemed reasonable. The total award value or budget range for this procurement is not provided in the available information.
