The State of California, Department of General Services (DGS), Facilities Management Division (FMD) is seeking bids for window glass replacement services at the East End Complex in Sacramento, covering buildings 049, 051, 052, 053, and 054. This Invitation for Bid (IFB) requires a contractor to remove and replace broken window panels, install new Viracon glass products (GL-1, GL-2, and GL-3 types), and complete a one-time commercial-grade vanity mirror installation. Bidders must hold a valid Class C-17 Glazing License and be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. A non-mandatory walk-through is scheduled for December 12, 2025, with separate time slots for each building. Written questions are due by December 18, 2025, with answers posted on December 24, 2025. The final bid submission deadline is December 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. PT, with bid opening on December 31, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. PT. The contract will have a three-year term with fixed rates, and bidders must provide detailed cost sheets including fixed pricing for specific replacements and hourly rates for unforeseeable repairs and emergency services.

The procurement includes specific set-aside requirements and preferences for disadvantaged businesses. A minimum 3 percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation is mandatory, with incentive opportunities for higher participation levels. California Small Business preference of 5 percent applies to non-certified small businesses, and non-small businesses may claim a 25 percent small business subcontractor preference. Bidders must provide proof of general liability insurance, commercial automobile insurance, and worker's compensation coverage. A $10,000 withhold from final payment will be applied until DVBE certification compliance is demonstrated via STD 817 form. The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements as determined by the Department of Industrial Relations, with August 2025 rates applicable. Invoicing will be monthly, with separate invoices required for each building and supporting documentation including parts receipts and work authorizations. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope of work across five buildings and the three-year contract term suggest a substantial procurement opportunity for qualified glazing contractors.
